Nine Nights (2019) - full transcript

Woo.

Oh, you beat me.

Almost had me, sis.

Heard you sneaking
out last night.

Yeah, the heat must
be getting to you.

Ha, very funny.

And it wasn't the
first time either.

So?

Okay, let's see
what mom has to say.

She'll say you're
imagining things.

Anyways, we all have secrets.



Here look.

For good luck on
your race later on.

See?

I've always got mine.

Come on, Marc.

Come on.

Don't be like that.

Haines twins forever, yeah.

I've been waiting for you.

Mom, I still have
training to do.

So you're not coming
with me to Lucille's?

No, I got finish up here.

Is she even serious right now?

Mom, Michael went...



We gotta talk
about tactics, mom.

I reckon she's
gonna make the team.

She's very peristent.

Aren't you, Marc?

Really?

Listen to your brother.

I just hope all of this
training's gonna pay off.

You're gonna get some
medals or something.

I'm gonna go to Lucille's
on my own, yeah,

but back in time for your race.

Gonna be here, hon?

I'll see you here, yeah?

Yeah.

Phyllis is good.

She's always going.

She's got the
spirit of a fighter.

God rest her soul.

I mean, who wants to
look like their dead dad.

And especially
if you're a girl.

See how
he looks over here.

He can't keep his eyes off you.

Yo, what's good?

What you think?

Not bad.

You good.

You did good still.

These.

The ones.

I'm starving.

I'm
getting her number.

Nah.

Yes.

Do you really think I can win?

You're racing girls
not me so of course.

Just focus on that finish line.

You coming?

I'll meet you there.

Go on.

You
better not be late.

My sis running for gold.

Course I'll be there.

I got the perfect place
to take those girls.

Yeah?

Picnic in the woods.

The woods?

Yeah.

These babes deserve
somewhere different.

Private.

Romantic.

It's different all right.

Yeah.

But why the woods?

'Cause me and Marc found it.

Don't say anything.

The best thing is
nobody will bother us

'cause they don't
know where it is.

You know that's where
people die, you know?

- In the woods.
- Oh, come on.

Bro, don't be like that.

Bro, are you in or not?

Yeah?

Better have a bet on it
'cause man's got plans.

What?

Yeah, you know.

Is that yeah?

Yeah, that's right.

Pulled out all the stops.

I mean
it's a bit creepy.

Ah, don't
be creeped out by it.

It's fine.

Just 'cause it's private.

It's like a rubber forest.

Don't be like that.

Come on, come on.

Come on, it's gonna be fine.

All right?

Listen, no one's got you but me.

Okay.

Come down with me.

Road special.

What you think?

It's cute.

Not bad, eh?

Thank you.

It's all about
presentation, you see.

Do you want some help?

I'm all right.

I've got this.

I will work this.

Here we go.

Oh no.

No, no.

Shit.

Wait, where you going?

Come on, Marcie.

Second is not so bad.

You did good.

Yeah, that was sick, Marc.

You did good.

Where is he?

Where is he?

I called him but I
don't know where he is.

Mommy, where's Mikey?

There was an accident.

An accident?

Excuse me, excuse me.

Get out of the way.

Excuse me.

Miss?

My brother's here.

Mikey.

Michael Haines.

H-A-I-N-E-S.

Date of birth.

Third of November 2000.

Okay, he's not here now, love.

But this is the
nearest hospital.

Let me see if I can
get someone for you.

Where's your mother?

No.

What the?

Paul, come here.

Where is she?

Where does she live?

Who?

That skank Anna.

Listen, if anything's
happened to Michael,

I'm gonna blame you
'cause you always

got him sneaking
around, acting up.

Where does she live?

What are you talking about?

That skank Anna.

Tell me where she lives.

I don't know.

Marcie.

Stop this now.

Yeah?

What?

Tell me where she lives
and I'll leave you.

Just tell me.

I don't know.

You know what?

Forget it.

Marcie.

Sorry.

You
have no new messages.

I don't know
what to say to you.

I can't.

He'd want you to have this.

Take it.

He said.

He said it was his
good luck charm.

Oh, that's really nice.

Auntie.

So glad you're here.

Oh, Marc, it's all right.

You can help me find
Michael and drive me around.

Darling, find him?

Yeah, people are saying
all kinds of weird things.

They even said he was dead.

I know right?

I mean, if Mikey were
dead, I would know.

I mean, that time
when he hurt his leg

and I had the same pain in mine.

Remember when he got lost
and I knew where to find him?

Yes.

Ain't it true, mom?

She doesn't even care, does she?

Of course she cares, Marc.

Why are they all here?

This is nine night, Marc.

This is where people come
and pay their respect.

Please have some.

How?

By eating people out of
their house and home?

Okay Marcie, stop
it now, darling.

Why are they here?

You're upsetting people.

I'm upsetting people.

Mikey would kill himself
laughing with all this mourning.

Let's go.

Come on.

Nora, you know you
can leave this to me.

What?

Now people say I can't cook?

Please.

You could've
picked up the phone.

Did you wash that
rice three times?

Rude
boy, still alive?

Very much so and for
the foreseeable future.

Sorry for your loss, girl.

Life goes on.

Pay him no mind.

Life is a road we
all must travel.

And death is a
destination for us all.

Now this helps everyone.

So you believing
that Mikey's dead?

Child, who would make
up something like this?

We are one family.

One heart.

Is that why everyone's here?

Yes, for the nine nights.

It's open house for everyone.

The man down the road might
never had said hello to Michael,

yet he's welcome just the same.

But I know he's out there.

I can feel it.

What you mean, girl?

The Lord rose from the
dead in three days.

That was a miracle.

For mere mortals...

Although, the first three
nights are pure confusion.

Their shock understandable.

A person finds themself dead.

And those left behind don't
want to accept he's gone.

Maybe we stop this now.

No, I wanna hear it.

So those left behind
don't want to accept things

and those that have departed,

when the Lord plays your life
back and holds you to account.

That's night three.

Tonight six.

Transference.

Transference?

Yes, transference.

Transference is getting
ready to accept your fate.

Like when you go on
holiday, you're excited,

but then you got to
sort out the detail.

Pack your bags.

Pay your bills.

The bills.

Redemption hurts.

Night six the departed starts

their journey to the afterlife.

There's no going back.

That's right.

Both sides
have to give up.

The deceased have to
forfeit anything they know.

Otherwise the last three
days, it's a tug of war.

They will never
enter the kingdom of heaven.

Call it what you like.

Paradise, nirvana, whatever.

A spirit can never
be earthbound.

Earthbound?

Let's just say you no
want meet a restless spirit.

Exactly.

The ticket has been paid for.

You have to get on the plane.

That's how it is.

That's how it's always been.

And I
say amen to that.

Hey sis.

Mikey.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Shit.

Let me help.

Please?

Careful.

Sorry.

She'll come round, you know.

In time.

Come round?

Have you heard her?

She's still calling out
her dead brother's name.

Have you considered
that perhaps she might...

Obsessed.

She's always been obsessed.

I mean, I know they're
twins but Jesus.

Even I'm not allowed in.

No wonder he needed
his own space.

So it's true?

You knew he was
sneaking out at night.

Yeah, well.

I wasn't happy about it,
but he's 17 years old.

He was almost a.

Nearly a man.

So have you?

You thought about
whether you'd like Mikey

to be buried or cremated?

Don't you dare.

Marcie.

Mikey, where are you?

You said you were
gonna be there.

And you know what?

Just call me back.

The first three
nights are pure confusion.

And those left behind don't
want to accept he's gone.

What's going on?

Now child, I
know it's not easy.

These things are tragic.

You know he hates when you
come in here messing things up.

Watch when he finds out.

We're doing this for him.

It's okay.

He's just doing his man thing.

He'll be back.

Marcie.

We shouldn't be arguing
at a time like this.

Great.

Let's go back to being
best friends, shall we?

Here.

No.

Aunt Sylvie said...

She's not your fucking auntie.

Well we put together a chart

for the nine nights that might.

Cool.

Always wanted one of these.

No, that's not what it's for.

Well, I'll make sure
Mikey sees it, yeah.

Best of three?

Cool.

Where did you get this?

Your mom gave it to me.

Where did you get this?

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

What have you done to Mikey?

Give it to me.

What are you?

Give it to me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

See?

Mikey would never give him this.

What are you doing?

I gave that wristband to Paul.

Paul, are you okay?

Paul and Mikey were tight.

He's going through with it.

We all are.

Oh, fuck off.

Oh my God, we'll all
be maimed at this, right?

What are those tablets for?

Please tell me you're
not giving these to Marc.

Do you know how
strong these are?

Well she needs them.

She or you?

Excuse me but
are you the doctor?

Last I checked you
were just a nurse.

Oops, sorry.

Was a nurse.

You can't
sedate this away, Nora.

Yeah right.

You have a child
upstairs that needs you.

I do not need child
caring tips from you.

How many kids you got again?

That's low.

God, that's low even for you.

Sis, I'm here.

Come.

Uh uh, where are you going?

Darling, it's late.

Running helps
me clear my mind.

Well, perhaps you can go
for a run in the morning.

Mikey's back.

Ugh Sylvie,
your cases are in the way.

Put them.

Where would you like
me to put them, Nora?

Put them somewhere.

And where are you going?

I thought you were asleep.

- Auntie.
- Hey what?

You're not going
nowhere, you know.

I'll go around the back.

Well are you
gonna go after her?

You want me to
watch her 24 seven?

I'm trying to plan a
funeral here, Sylvie.

Yeah well perhaps you'd
allow someone to help.

There's nothing to see here.

Girl, what the hell
are you playing at?

Get in.

Look, I'm sorry
for hitting you.

I didn't mean...

Sh.

I'm sure I'll survive.

It's fine.

You know, I
think I saw Michael

and I think he saw me but
he didn't wait for me.

He must be in such a mess.

You know sometimes,
Marcie, when people die,

it feels like they come to us,

but oh darling it's not real.

You know what's not real?

Is that when dad died, there
was none of this nine nights.

One minute everything was
cool and the next boom.

You were gone, he was
gone, and no one was there.

And it was just me and Michael.

Your mother was there, too.

Yeah but why did you leave us?

Why?

Look it was just.

You know, it was
a difficult time.

Please, can we just
leave it as that?

All right, cool.

I can't believe she
collapsed when she saw him.

So God send you here?

You think?

I don't know.

Just figured after all this
time Nora would at least...

Now is not the
time for forgiveness.

Just be here.

That's what's important.

So what exactly is it
I'm to be forgiven for?

You've been gone
for seven years.

Mikey.

That's the girl that saw me.

We should be able to get in.

Let's see.

I don't think it's
your kind of scene.

Actually I'm here
to meet my brother.

Who's he when he's at home?

Michael Haines.

The runner?

Yeah.

Well you can't go in
looking like that with us.

Mikey.

Marc.

I've been looking
for you for days, mate.

Days.

You missed my race.

What happened?

You look a mess.

I don't know.

One minute I'm.

I tried to call you
but I don't have my...

I've got your phone, stupid.

Well I was looking for you.

This ain't no game, Mikey.

Everyone thinks you're dead.

What the hell?

What are you on about?

Look it was two nights ago

and the house was
full of strangers

talk about this nine nights.

What?

Anyways, mom said
there was an accident.

Even Auntie Sylvie's back.

Aunt Sylvie?

Fuck.

I didn't even know what to
think and Paul's been acting...

Oh, don't tell me.

He thinks I'm dead, too.

It's not funny and you
had something to do with it

'cause he had your wristband.

Anyways, I got them.

Look, whatever
trouble you're in,

even if it's girl trouble...

You're freaking me out, Marc.

I don't know how I got here.

Come
on, we're leaving.

One second, mate.

Yo.

Can't leave.

What?

This way.

Oh my days.

What's going on?

He's a bit OTT.

You ready?

I gotta sort something.

Come on, you're no
good at sorting stuff.

Just tell me what it
is and I'll do it.

I have to do it.

What is it?

Some man thing?

Yeah.

You know how it goes.

I can't turn up like this.

Got my rep to think about.

Let me just smooth things.

Be back before you know it.

Yeah?

Come on, let's go home.

Mom's waiting on us.

I know.

I can't go right now.

Yeah?

I gotta sort something out here.

I'll come out after.

Come on, let's go home.

- Marcie, listen to me.
- Mom's waiting.

Marcie.

I'm trying to explain
it to you, all right.

I can't go right now.

Can you listen to me?

Huh?

Fine.

I'll come home.

You better not be lying.

I know.

I'm not.

You know, everyone
thought you were dead.

I didn't believe them.

See you in a bit.

Don't come back here, miss.

You won't be allowed in.

Oh, mom.

Wait, honey.

Morning.

Hi.

Oh, thank you.

These are beautiful.

I'll take them.

I'll take them.

Thanks for the flowers.

Join us.

There's so much food, please.

Are you okay, Marc?

Yeah.

Oh mom.

Well, the whole
school chipped in.

Oh nice.

Everyone loves.

Loved Michael.

But no one knew him like us, eh?

Marc.

This funeral.

Well, this is your chance to.

What you think about getting
yellow roses for the church?

Yeah, of course.

Yellow's our favorite color.

That works.

This is great.

Oh hi.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you, darling.

Good to see you.

Please go through.

Help yourself to something.

Hello.

Where you coming from?

What's that, trainers?

Who you got trainers for?

Hello.

Yellow roses at the church.

Yeah, my ass.

Nora.

Come on, she's
obviously stressed.

She's stressed?

Do you know what
I'm under right now?

Do you know what
I'm dealing with?

On the bright side, at least
she started to grieve, huh.

You really don't know my
daughter at all, do you?

Grieving?

Her and Michael is like one.

She ain't grieving yet.

She ain't never
gonna be over this.

Oh please, put something on.

Look at your chest.

This ain't a dance.

Hi.

Thanks for coming, love.

Please go through.

Go through.

Have a drink.

Hey, Sister P.

How are you?

All right.

I know you think you saw him.

What you saw was
not your brother.

What you saw a nothing.

A ghost.

But he's not
see through or anything.

You want something so badly.

Child, you're hanging onto him.

It's a one way flight.

You can't win.

He's just
sorting some stuff.

He's gonna come back.

What stuff?

I don't know.

He promised.

Now listen to
me now, you know.

The night's no place
for a grieving girl.

Well?

Listen.

I don't know if I
believe in ghosts, Marc.

I mean, you see them
in films and all but...

But if you could do something
you would, wouldn't you?

Tina?

Tina?

Tina?

I always wanted to
be a makeup artist.

Okay, so I'm freaked out.

So?

Look, I don't need
your attitude, okay.

I told Michael I'd
try and help you.

But shouldn't we
be helping Michael?

Sometimes seeing is believing.

Don't let your heart
rule your head.

Tell you I sing.

♪ I walked away ♪

Come on, Mikey, we're leaving.

Tina said she'd
try to help you.

Yeah, she proper
freaked me out.

Is she the reason?

Come.

Come on, Mikey.

Talk to me.

Remember how confused I was?

They told me freaking truth.

Everything.

About the car.

The accident.

And the good side is no pain.

Yeah but we're here
talking like normal.

It's not
safe for you here, sis.

Look, I can look after myself

and besides I wanna
be where you are.

Haines twins forever.

Sounds like that Michael
Jackson song mom used to play.

You won't believe it 'til
you see for yourself.

That's always been you, sis.

No.

I'm sorry, darling.

I need to check for swelling.

What happened?

Don't you remember?

Oh God, Marcie, you
had us so worried.

You're just there in
the middle of the road.

Was I alone?

Yeah and I think at least
someone must have seen you.

Leave it to them to
be so bad minded.

Hey.

Wanna come downstairs,
sit with us?

Yeah?

Good, come on.

You'll live.

Better get a plastic on that.

I haven't seen these before.

Dad looks so retro.

Oh, your dad.

He's worse than a woman.

Everything had to be just so.

I can't believe
you kept these.

No point throwing
them away is there?

Oh.

Look at mom.

I've seen her before.

Where have
you seen her before?

Don't
you remember, Nora?

She was the most
fabulous singer.

Her voice would send
shivers through your spine.

That's right.

She almost had a record deal.

So wait, she died?

Yeah.

Had them singing on a cruise
ship and well it went down.

All of them.

So, so sad.

Anyway, let me go look
about the chicken.

How did dad die?

There was an accident.

Yeah, but you said that...

Yeah, well it's not
important now, is it?

I know.

Look I know, but what
am I supposed to do?

Look, look, look.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

Bye.

I thought everyone
knew by now.

Who you talking to?

I did what I had to do.

You see here.

If you weren't drunk,
you're interfering.

But you didn't see it like
that when you needed me.

You know what, Leonore?

I had to drink to be
able to stand looking

at your miserable
face day after day.

Oh Leonore, it really is no
wonder you're on your own.

Anything else you wanna
add about my bad parenting?

Good.

See when this is over,
go and live with her.

Oh, you took your time.

- Wow, you look.
- Listen.

We gotta move fast.

Mom wants to send me away
and I gotta find Mikey

and I can't leave him.

She's turning him to lush.

Who?

Tina from the club drunk.

We don't even drink.

I get it.

I know I'm not supposed
to be out right now.

I don't know
anything about no club.

No, fuck you.

It's just that.

If he's been drinking, messed
up, we can't bring him home.

He'll get in even more trouble.

He's safe where he is, yeah?

Let's leave him there
and bring him back later.

Gives us time to
work out a plan.

Then he can make
a proper entrance.

Yeah, exactly.

All right.

All right, girl.

Please leave
your message after the tone.

Paul, can you
call me back, please?

Night six
the departed starts

their journey to the afterlife.

There's no going back.

You ready, Paul?

Whoa, for what?

To go for a run.

To go get Mikey, idiot.

I thought we was
gonna have a plan.

So where is it?

Yeah, thought so.

Look, me, your
mom, Aunt Sylvie.

We've tried everything.

Think about your mom.

Why do I need to do
that when she's got you?

Nothing works with you.

They've even tried sedating
you to help you cope.

Everything that happened to
Michael, yeah, you imagined it.

You know what?

You're a traitor and me and
Michael can't trust anybody.

Just get out of my way.

Aren't you tired, child?

What you got?

There's your feet.

Neonatal syndrome.

It meant you were
literally starving.

Remember people
used to make a fuss

around me all the time?

Course we should make a fuss.

You were such a cute baby.

Oh my God.

No, but it was more than that.

Auntie Sylvie was
way over the top.

You were just so tiny.

Unbelievably tiny.

And then one day.

One day your heart stopped.

Saying I died?

A minute.

Seconds.

We were lucky we were
still at the hospital.

What you doing with your hair?

You want me to finish it?

Come.

Mom, did Michael
say anything about

going to university
outside of London?

Maybe.

You know what he's like.

Every day he's got
a different plan.

He had such big dreams.

Please don't go out tonight.

I get so worried
when you go out.

So pretend I put it back.

Now I buy no more, you know.

You're too
much you know, Pastor?

Mom.

You're locked in?

No, I like
being held prisoner.

Open the door.

Who's locked the door?

Who's locked the door?

I don't know.

Mom's gone mad.

She's drugging me.

What are you playing at?

How can you lock the
child in the room?

You can't do.

Do not tell me what to do.

This is my house.

Come here, yeah.

Them don't know
you but I know you.

All right Leonore, just
please give me the key.

Please.

Thank you.

Come round here trying
to steal my children.

My husband.

Oh you know what?

Your husband left you because
you're a jealous fool.

Dad left?

You drove dad away.

Is that why Michael's
not even welcome here?

I'm sorry.

I didn't.

I want you out.

You don't mean that.

I said get out.

I want you out.

You're forever
pushing me away, Nora.

It's fine.

Yeah well I'll keep pushing.

Get out.

Get the fuck out of of my house.

Oh, you've lost it.

You really lost it.

Take your shit and go.

All right, I'm going.

Come in here trying
that shit in here.

Get out.

Do not tell me what to do.

I'm doing my best.

Oh, is there
something to see here?

Do you know what?

Take your coat and fuck
off and bloody bamba.

Don't watch me.

Get out.

Tell me what to do.

Gorgeous.

And still she comes.

Oh Marc, what
are you doing here?

Mikey, I was thinking.

Maybe Tina can help us with
this whole nine nights spin.

If she's able to live
in both worlds then.

You wanna keep him earthbound?

'Cause you can't bring him back.

Whoa.

Are you sure?

I don't wanna be
stuck here in my ones.

Never seeing my family again.

My friends.

My sister.

Okay.

How much do you
want to be with him?

I'll give anything.

Jump.

No way.

You did before.

That was an accident.

I thought maybe.

What?

He was going to get hurt?

You tricked me.

Why'd you say anything?

You're such a bitch.

Marc, I didn't mean to.

I was confused.

And this?

Oh, it means nothing.

It's not gonna
happen now anyway.

You were just gonna go to
Bristol leave me and mom knew.

Maybe she's been right
about this whole thing.

About this nine nights.

Well wait?

You're listening to them now?

You were just gonna go.

It's nothing but secrets
and lies with you.

All you care about is yourself.

No, no, Marcie please.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you...

Don't touch me.

He didn't mean to trick you.

Okay, it's a human impulse.

Look, I know he's not dead
but he's not acting the same.

This is some kind of game.

You know the
truth in your heart.

He's still my brother.

So how long you been?

January 5th, 2007.

That was the day Mikey.

I saw you that morning.

Yeah.

It was a weird day.

Remember?

Sunny and cloudy.

Yeah, I had a race, but I
knew he would never miss it.

What?

I don't know.

What happened to you?

It was one of those stupid,

fucking things they
call accidents.

I was at a party.

Took some pills.

You overdosed?

Yeah, but that didn't kill me.

Okay?

Some nurse fucked
up at the hospital.

She was drunk and gave
me the wrong dose.

Shit.

So how come you're still here?

Who knows?

I didn't have any ties.

My mother gone.

I hear it sorts
stuff out in the end.

Karma's a bitch.

10 years is a long time.

So what do you think?

That'll happen to Mikey?

Mikey's surrounded by love.

All right?

He will be fine
if you let him go.

It all depends on you.

My sis running for gold.

They told me the freaking truth.

You won't believe it until
you see for yourself.

Always been you, sis.

Sh.

After I spent all day cooking.

The funeral's this Tuesday.

Why do you even care
about all those strangers?

Am I to blame for Mikey?

Baby, no, of course not.

Oh darling, you know it's
normal you feeling this way.

Feeling guilty.

Not wanting to let him go.

It's all apart of it, yeah.

Yeah but everyone
says I have to.

Mom, Tina, you, but
no one explains how.

You'll always have
Mikey in your heart.

Hold onto that.

Celebrate that.

That sounds so fake.

And what if this nine
nights doesn't work?

You know, every culture
has its type of nine nights.

A way of celebrating their dead.

So, it always works.

Well Tina said karma's a
bitch and it always gets you.

So if Mikey.

Tina said karma's a bitch
and it always gets you.

All right, listen Marc.

You have done absolutely
nothing wrong.

Okay?

Karma's just.

It's just another belief.

Who is this Tina anyway?

I mean, you seem
to listen to her.

What's her last name?

Don't know.

You don't know her last name?

I know she's 17 and she's
been dead for 10 years,

but it was the hospital
that let her down.

How'd you explain that?

I can't.

All right?

I can't.

I heard you come
back into the church.

Well, let's just say
the Lord has moved me

in ways you can't imagine.

Oh, I can imagine.

Well, you've always
had a good imagination.

Spirit can
never be earthbound.

Both sides have to give up.

So much beauty in
strength in one so young.

Is this from you, Auntie?

Everyone was right.

I know what I have to do now.

Mikey.

No, Marcie, no.

Deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory.

Forever and ever.

No.

Marcie, no.

Did you do this?

Do what?

You're my sister.

You were
just gonna leave.

Suppose I could've said, Marc,

you know how we
spoke about college?

Well I wanna branch out.

Go somewhere on my own.

Well here I am.

Look Mikey, I'm sorry
about the accident.

About everything.

Always following you around.

Being jealous.

But I never meant any of this.

It's okay.

You're here now.

You told me to go home.

You said it was dangerous.

I was an idiot.

I don't wanna be by myself.

Remember, nobody
can come between us.

Not mom, even dad couldn't.

Dad?

He's here.

Just say you'll stay for good.

No, I can't.

I can't be here.

Can't or won't?

Look, I'm ready.

Oh, you are?

Do I count?

Haines twins forever.

That's what we said.

Forever.

You'll be here with dad.

Remember the fuss he used to
make around your first medal?

The only time he
noticed me was when I ran.

He adored you.

That is not true.

You were everything
to him, even me.

Not quite.

You were starting to
do your own thing.

I read your diary.

You had no
business doing that.

Yeah, see how it feels
not to have your own space?

Don't worry.

Can't tell anyone.

God, I miss even this.

You getting on my nerves.

Me trying to fix everything.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

I feel different everyday.

I'm scared.

He didn't
mean to trick you.

Sleep will help.

Hey, need a bit of time, guys.

We were so worried.

Marc, we're just
trying to help you.

Look, I've got some
food in the kitchen.

Why don't you help yourself?

Come on, Marc.

All right then, I'll
speak to you later then.

Okay?

Cool.

Look, I was thinking
that Aunt Sylvie can go

in Mikey's room
since it's bigger.

Can you bring me up a snack?

You're hungry now?

Yeah.

Want some curry goat?

Mhm.

Haven't seen you knock
it back like that since.

Oh God, what was the
name of that club?

We practically had our
names above the door.

What was it called?

Long time ago.

Crystals.

Yeah, Crystals.

Lord, we would dance all
night and never get tired.

Do you remember?

We would like angels.

No fear.

Yeah.

Remember these moves.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Move to the side.

You never had any rhythm.

You know that?

I did.

All right, watch me now, yeah.

Watching, watching.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Back.

Six.

Oh Leonore, you know
you were never happier

than when we were dancing.

Oh yeah, just
forget everything.

You know what I mean?

Oh remember Stanley used to
watch me when I was dancing.

Just a sick guy.

He loved watching me dance.

You know what I mean?

Trouble was he liked watching
every other honey, too.

No matter who.

You know what?

Whatever you think
happened, Nora, didn't.

When are you going to
start believing me?

We got on.

So what?

We had to.

He couldn't cope on his own.

It's not how it look
from where I was standing

was going on between you two.

You think I'm blind?

You think I'm blind?

You could've had anyone.

And there was you
taking over all my kids.

Yeah?

Take over my husband.

Yeah?

I loved him, Sylvie.

Are you listening to yourself?

Your kids.

Your kids.

Your kids would've ended up in
care if I hadn't stepped in.

All right?

So stop fucking laying
this at my door.

Stanley, you know,
he never judged me.

Nora, he never
fucking judged me.

He was always there for me.

You carrying on like
he's dead, Nora.

He's not dead.

You, you drove him away.

You did it, not me.

You cut him off from his kids.

You fucking left him, Nora.

That is not my fault.

What did I do?

What did I do?

What have I done?

He hates me.

Everybody hates me.

What could keep him away
at a time like this, eh?

The only thing is he
doesn't even hate you.

Despite everything he
still fucking loved you.

He loved you, Nora.

He'll be here, all right.

He'll be here.

Oh come on, we gotta
be strong for Marc.

- Even for you.
- I'll be okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

You needed that
rest, didn't you?

Yeah.

What you listening to?

I'm just making a playlist.

Listen.

It's sick, isn't it?

♪ Precious Lord ♪

♪ Take my hand ♪

♪ Lead me on ♪

♪ Let me stand ♪

♪ I am tired ♪

♪ I'm weak ♪

♪ And I am worn ♪

So Mikey's here.

I mean his coffin.

It's gonna
be all right, Marc.

Trust me.

Just get through today.

Just feels like
everything's changing.

Things change.

Oh.

Oh no, Kim, don't worry.

Don't leave on my behalf.

Was that the playlist?

Yeah.

Crept in.

Corrupt in Conan.

Sorry what kind
of name is that?

I don't understand any of
you young people's music.

I'm officially old.

I know you tried to
say goodbye to Mikey.

It'll come.

That's the thing.

Me and Mikey never got a
chance to say bye to you.

Why did you leave us?

Marc, now's not the time.

Tell me.

Why did you leave?

Kim, could you give us
a minute actually please?

Thanks.

No, actually I
would prefer you stay.

God, you're like
a dog with a bone.

I mean, Kim.

That's the thing about adults.

They never explain anything.

And you of all people
have been honest always.

Tell me.

Why did you leave us?

Something happened, all right.

I don't know.

I felt.

Felt ashamed and
I couldn't stay.

But it all comes out anyway.

- Come on, tell me.
- Marcie, please.

Just leave it alone.

It's gonna
be a lovely funeral.

Maybe there is some truth
in what Marcie's saying.

That they can't settle
until they're rested.

Mommy's here.

Mommy ain't never leaving you.

They keep telling me
I gotta let you go.

I ain't never letting you go.

Mommy loves you.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid
'cause mommy's here.

Beautiful boy.

Nora.

Nora.

I went to her grave site.

She forgave me, Nora.

Who, Tina?

Hey, I went for a
run the other day

and I reckon I can
get my time down.

And I promise I'll
look after mom.

I promise.

I'll do my best.
