Back to Life (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Miri and Caroline set out to visit Oscar's very old aunt, but get derailed.
Lara! My dad's back.
Hi, Mr Boback!
Mum, do you want to do
something today?
What? Something, anything.
I've got too much to do.
Chla what?
Chlamydia. You'll need to
contact your sexual partners
and inform them. Partners?
It's over. Oh, come on,
let's just have a little,
like, a little goodbye fiddle.
Goodbye, Dom.
Hello, again. Wednesday afternoon,
amusement park.
Sorry, who are you?
You have a bite mark. No! No.
It's on your shoulder. Isn't it...
Oi, oi, oi, oi!
Get out of here, you little shit.
I'll be in touch.
PHONE RINGS
Hi.
Where are you?
Yeah, I'm at the school
morning meeting.
Oh. Listen, I can't find
Phoebe's karate kit.
Look in her room.
I did.
Look, are you OK?
About today? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I just... It's just a day.
I'm afraid I have a migraine,
you're going to have to go alone.
What?
Take a Nurofen.
It's a migraine.
Then we won't go.
We can all go another day.
No, Caroline. The whole point
is it's today,
to take her mind off
the anniversary.
We need to get her out of town,
away from it all.
At any rate, it'll be good for you
and Miri to spend
some time together.
Your headache might clear
up in a minute.
It's not a headache, Caroline.
SHE SCREAMS
Hiya, hi, babe. Hiya.
Yeah, I'm just thinking,
I think the, um,
karate kit's in the
airing cupboard, yeah.
Which one is she again?
Your father's aunt.
Thought she'd died.
No, she refuses to. Old cunt.
But she's family, so you visit.
Like we visited you in...that
place.
You can say cunt,
but you can't say prison.
It's extremely rare for me to use
the cunt word and I only do
so with regard to absolute cunts.
It's a lovely drive
and...we're going to have fun.
Feels fun.
Fifth of November.
It's a beautiful day.
Exciting.
Shark, shark, shark, shark, shark,
shark...Mum, you have to say attack.
Attack.
No, at the same time as me.
So, shark, shark, shark, shark,
shark...
You're not saying it. So, you say
attack, then I have to try
and guess when you're going to say
it and say it before you.
Attack, attack, attack, attack,
attack... No.
..stupid game.
When we get home, I'll make you
play ping pong door ways.
What on Earth is that?
We used to make up lots of silly
games in prison, to pass the time.
There is a lot of time.
You get quite creative.
Do you know that I can make
a banoffee pie in a kettle?
Yeah. It's actually rather good,
I'll, I'll make it for you
and Dad one day.
There's a good hairdresser
in Petworth.
Maybe we could stop off and see
if they can fit you in.
Wow.
You could have some highlights,
it might make you feel better.
No, it might make you feel better.
That stuff doesn't matter
to me, you know that.
Just a thought.
We humans have creative software
in our brain, so neuro.
I want to listen to The Archers.
No, let's just talk.
About what? Anything, something,
we know nothing about each other.
We were talking and we finished.
OK, brilliant. Three hour drive.
Hooray!
Ooh.
Fuck you, Caroline.
DOORBELL RINGS
What are you doing?
Sh, I'm trying to enjoy this
very comfortable silence.
You're bring childish.
Sh! That's talking.
Look, what do you want me to say?
I wake up, I eat porridge,
your father goes on about something.
This morning it was
seven types of plastic.
Why are you getting at me?
I just wanted to take
you out for a nice day.
RADIO PLAYS
Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum! Shit!
Oh, what was that? Oh!
Oh, Jesus!
Mr Matteson, I'm from Pilot Power.
I need to check your meter.
Oh, somebody came a few days ago.
I know.
But they gave an odd reading
and so I'm following up.
Don't want an astronomical bill.
That would be very unlikely.
I have the energy efficiency of
this house entirely under control.
May I just say that your recycling
system out in front here...
..is exemplary.
Um, thank you.
Yes. If everyone put
in the time you do,
there'd be a lot
more polar bears.
It's the least a human can do.
Did you know that
teabags are not compostable?
And that certain brands,
they use synthetic...
Synthetic fibres, yes.
I learnt the hard way. All those
bags toxifying my compost bins.
Oh, don't go there.
You are a leader of men.
A Viking.
It would be an honour
to check the house of a hero.
Uh, of course. Yes?
Oh, yes, come in.
OK. Exemplary.
Oh, shit, poor thing.
Oh, Christ.
Oh, I think it's dead.
The car. Oh, the car.
Is it dead?
Oscar will be furious.
I think it's mostly dead.
Oh, God, it blinked.
How are we going to get there?
Oh, no, it's still breathing.
It's like 99% dead.
If we're late, she's going
to be such an old bag about it.
Mum, we have to do something
about it. It's in pain.
Oh, God.
Put it out of its misery.
Oh, I can't. You do it.
You do it.
What?
Nothing. I didn't say anything.
You so did.
Well, I didn't mean. What, I've
killed before, so I can kill again?
Oh, don't be so silly.
You're my mother. You're supposed
to be on my side, not looking at me
like I'm some kind of cold
blooded...
..bloody! Oh, shit!
Well, now it's dead.
It was in pain.
Ugh, I can taste it.
No, you can't.
Leave it. No.
Look, come on, we'll be late.
No, we're not leaving
it in the road.
What are you doing?
I'm burying it. Help me.
No.
Bloody filthy.
Oh, no.
I'm killing it even more.
Sorry, little fox.
I've never done that before.
Killed something.
It was the right thing to do.
Yes, but... Foxes are
bastards anyway,
they steal babies from bungalows
and chickens and stuff.
OK, Mum, let's go
and sort out the car.
# The day thou gav'est
Lord is ended
# The darkness falls at thy behest
# To thee a morning him ascendeth
# And pray shall sanctify
our rest... #
Ey, ey, ey.
What is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
tick, tick and...
..that is faster than it should be.
Well, it's always like that.
No. No.
There is energy being wasted
somewhere in this house.
No, absolutely not. I am vigilant.
PHONE BEEPS
Oh, is, is that you?
No, it's my wife's.
That is not a Viking's phone.
I would like to check all
your power points and appliances.
Mr Matteson, don't worry.
This will take a few hours,
but I promise, I will get
to the bottom of this.
MUSIC PLAYS
Maybe it's in the car
and it fell out of your pocket.
I don't wear things with pockets.
I've never worn anything
with pockets.
What's wrong with pockets?
Hips, Miri.
Oh, God, where is it?
Well, it's fine. we'll just, there's
a... It isn't fine.
Nothing is fine. Oh, my God.
Is this about pockets again?
I had it in my hand.
Well, you probably left it
at home. I didn't.
I know I didn't. Oh, Christ,
maybe I did.
Oh, shit.
Mum, what you doing?
I'm sitting down.
OK, look I'm going to go
to the payphone
and I'm going to call the
breakdown people, all right?
I'm sure I had it.
Oh, for fuck's sake. why is everyone
so obsessed with their phones?
I need to talk to Miri.
Who are you?
Her best friend.
It's very important.
Well, she's not here.
Can I get a cod and chips?
It's ten in the morning.
Are you judging me?
No. Well, when you've got kids,
ten in the morning
is two in the afternoon.
When's she coming back? She's not.
Um, we're moving venue.
I've got a truck.
Going to park it by the beach.
Do you want to fuck me?
What?
Well, you look really bored,
I'm stressed, you know, we'd
both get something out of it.
But I don't even know who you are.
Yeah, I mean that's the who...
Oh, God just forget it.
Still got it.
They'll be about two hours.
What? That's ridiculous.
A tyre is hardly a priority.
Two women in the middle
of nowhere, no phone,
it's like Midsomer Murders.
Mum, we're in West Sussex. A Tory MP
will probably drive by and save us
before the breakdown people do.
They say two hours, they mean four.
OK.
If I'd known,
I'd have brought a book.
Where's your father
when we need him?
I'm going to cancel my membership.
Then they'll definitely come.
Mum, why don't you come
and sit down?
No, I don't want to sit.
I've done sitting.
I'm standing now.
OK, this is awful.
I know.
No, no, no. Not the breakdown -
this, us.
You have been so weird
with me since I came back.
Just...
Where are you going?
I don't know.
We are going to have this
conversation.
OK, fine. You were right, I
thought you should kill the fox.
And I smashed its head in, so we
didn't have to talk about all this.
God, I'm a terrible mother.
I think I might be a cunt.
No you're not.
I am. I left you and your father
when you were six for a whole month.
I...I know. We ate custard every
night, it was quite fun.
Sometimes I didn't put you
to bed at night,
cos I couldn't bear reading
The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
OK. Again and again.
It's just a book. God, I couldn't
bear that bloody tiger.
He had no manners. Because he's a
tiger.
You know, he couldn't get an
erection.
Well, he was just there for tea.
Your father, after you went away.
Probably thought it
was all my fault.
Oh, forget it.
Where are you going?
You want to talk.
Yeah, a real conversation. This is
just you whining in the woods.
Why can't I do anything right?
Because you don't do anything right!
Do you know that I shared a room
with a woman who said
the word beetle 20 times
a minute for two years?
No, because you don't ask.
The only thing you could
ask me about was the weather.
So? So, so?
What's the weather like, Miri?
I was inside for 23 hours a day.
Well, I didn't know!
This momentous thing
happened to our family
and we can't talk about it because
it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Fine.
The whispering.
Being frozen out
of the church choir.
Having to go to the supermarket
after dark, out of town,
to avoid the stares.
Friends dropping like flies.
No Christmas cards on the
mantelpiece. No Christmas full stop.
Just two M&S turkey legs in front
of the telly, hoping it would
make it go faster.
Years and years of nothing but me
and him rattling around
that sad, empty house,
waiting for you to come back,
worrying about what you'd be like
if you did come back.
I don't ask you about it,
because I hated it!
And I want to pretend
none of it ever happened.
You ruined my life!
Prison ruined my life!
And I hated you.
I have hated you.
Thank you.
What? No.
Thank you for being honest with me.
Maybe a bit too honest, but...
What do you want me
to do to help you?
Just be my mum, that's all.
Hello?
I've got to go, I've got to meet
someone. I'll be back in 20 minutes.
Sure, I have everything I need.
Ah. Bingo.
Hello, ladies.
Hi, I'm Miri.
Hello.
PHONE BEEPS
Shit! My labia is moist?
Whoa, Mr Matteson!
Wait, wait, wait!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey!
It was meaningless.
It was my wife!
Fuck off. You...
..fuck off. Shut up,
you little twat!
Stop, wait, wait.
Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Wait.
Just wait.
Let me just...this is new.
You want to fight me, but I'm
warning you now, I'll fuck you up.
Fuck off.
Fuck, fuck you.
Fuck off! Fuck off!
Oh, whoa, whoa. Calm, calm, calm.
Osh! Oh, fuck, you're 70! Jesus!
I am a Viking!
Fuck! Argh!
You always were a pathetic
little jerk.
I can feel your nuts
on my nuts.
You stay away from my wife
and my daughter!
Is that clear?
Ah!
You're lucky I don't
fight pensioners.
Oh!
Oh, for fuck...
That was unnecessary!
Viking!
KNOCKING
Is Miri here?
No.
Mr and Mrs Matteson?
Nobody's here.
It's just me.
Sorry, who are you?
I'm here to fix things.
Drink on the job, do you?
Hmm, hmm, yeah.
Hmm.
Sometimes.
When things go very well.
Ah. Such good friends
all of you, hm?
You, Miri and, of course,
poor little Lara.
But even the best friends,
they have secrets.
Don't they, Mandy?
How do you know my name?
Well...
I think I...I better go now.
Don't fuck with me.
I'm a head teacher.
Good luck sleeping tonight.
Two hours, my arse.
Come here. Hang on.
I thought you said it
doesn't matter how you look?
Well, it matters to you, doesn't it?
I know you wouldn't have
done anything unless...
You and Lara, you were
such good friends.
Why was she so angry with you?
It's never made sense.
It's a rabbit hole. I can't even...
The poor Bobacks.
To lose a child.
Unthinkable.
CAR HORN BEEPS
Shut up, you bloody
Tory scum!
Mum, you're a Tory. Yes, I know!
CAR HORN PLAYS A TUNE
Oh, hello! Ha!
At last.
That's a cheery horn.
Another year.
You're not missing much. Um,
I never what to do today.
I just asked a stranger for sex.
Miri's back.
You're probably
haunting the shit out her.
Like you are me.
I still can't sleep.
But you know that.
Sometimes I miss you and then
I remember what a bitch you were
and I still miss you.
Grade A skunk.
Don't pull a whitey.
Shark, shark, shark, shark...
Attack!
I still don't get it.
I'm more of a bridge person.
Bridge! Mum! When we get home,
I am teaching you ping pong doorway.
No, Miri.
What are you doing out here?
Is that blood?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, I got into a bit of
a squabble with a rose bush.
I won.
You're here.
We're all here.
Mum beat the shit out of a dead fox.
Miri. Well, it happened,
so I'm going to tell everyone.
You look...terrible.
But you're mine. I know.
Right, you two, get inside.
No snogging until after dinner.
Whee!
This is so nice.
Look at that one there.
Wow. Did you see that?
Lara! My dad's back,
hide the cigarettes.
Hi, Dad!
Hi, Mr Boback!
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Mr Boback!
Yes.
Hello, Mr Boback.
Hmm.
Hi, Mr Boback!

Well, I didn't know!
This momentous thing
happened to our family
and we can't talk about it because
it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Fine.
The whispering.
Being frozen out
of the church choir.
Having to go to the supermarket
after dark, out of town,
to avoid the stares.
Friends dropping like flies.
No Christmas cards on the
mantelpiece. No Christmas full stop.
Just two M&S turkey legs in front
of the telly, hoping it would
make it go faster.
Years and years of nothing but me
and him rattling around
that sad, empty house,
waiting for you to come back,
worrying about what you'd be like
if you did come back.
I don't ask you about it,
because I hated it!
And I want to pretend
none of it ever happened.
You ruined my life!
Prison ruined my life!
And I hated you.
I have hated you.
Thank you.
What? No.
Thank you for being honest with me.
Maybe a bit too honest, but...
What do you want me
to do to help you?
Just be my mum, that's all.
Hello?
I've got to go, I've got to meet
someone. I'll be back in 20 minutes.
Sure, I have everything I need.
Ah. Bingo.
Hello, ladies.
Hi, I'm Miri.
Hello.
PHONE BEEPS
Shit! My labia is moist?
Whoa, Mr Matteson!
Wait, wait, wait!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey!
It was meaningless.
It was my wife!
Fuck off. You...
..fuck off. Shut up,
you little twat!
Stop, wait, wait.
Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Wait.
Just wait.
Let me just...this is new.
You want to fight me, but I'm
warning you now, I'll fuck you up.
Fuck off.
Fuck, fuck you.
Fuck off! Fuck off!
Oh, whoa, whoa. Calm, calm, calm.
Osh! Oh, fuck, you're 70! Jesus!
I am a Viking!
Fuck! Argh!
You always were a pathetic
little jerk.
I can feel your nuts
on my nuts.
You stay away from my wife
and my daughter!
Is that clear?
Ah!
You're lucky I don't
fight pensioners.
Oh!
Oh, for fuck...
That was unnecessary!
Viking!
KNOCKING
Is Miri here?
No.
Mr and Mrs Matteson?
Nobody's here.
It's just me.
Sorry, who are you?
I'm here to fix things.
Drink on the job, do you?
Hmm, hmm, yeah.
Hmm.
Sometimes.
When things go very well.
Ah. Such good friends
all of you, hm?
You, Miri and, of course,
poor little Lara.
But even the best friends,
they have secrets.
Don't they, Mandy?
How do you know my name?
Well...
I think I...I better go now.
Don't fuck with me.
I'm a head teacher.
Good luck sleeping tonight.
Two hours, my arse.
Come here. Hang on.
I thought you said it
doesn't matter how you look?
Well, it matters to you, doesn't it?
I know you wouldn't have
done anything unless...
You and Lara, you were
such good friends.
Why was she so angry with you?
It's never made sense.
It's a rabbit hole. I can't even...
The poor Bobacks.
To lose a child.
Unthinkable.
CAR HORN BEEPS
Shut up, you bloody
Tory scum!
Mum, you're a Tory. Yes, I know!
CAR HORN PLAYS A TUNE
Oh, hello! Ha!
At last.
That's a cheery horn.
Another year.
You're not missing much. Um,
I never what to do today.
I just asked a stranger for sex.
Miri's back.
You're probably
haunting the shit out her.
Like you are me.
I still can't sleep.
But you know that.
Sometimes I miss you and then
I remember what a bitch you were
and I still miss you.
Grade A skunk.
Don't pull a whitey.
Shark, shark, shark, shark...
Attack!
I still don't get it.
I'm more of a bridge person.
Bridge! Mum! When we get home,
I am teaching you ping pong doorway.
No, Miri.
What are you doing out here?
Is that blood?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, I got into a bit of
a squabble with a rose bush.
I won.
You're here.
We're all here.
Mum beat the shit out of a dead fox.
Miri. Well, it happened,
so I'm going to tell everyone.
You look...terrible.
But you're mine. I know.
Right, you two, get inside.
No snogging until after dinner.
Whee!
This is so nice.
Look at that one there.
Wow. Did you see that?
Lara! My dad's back,
hide the cigarettes.
Hi, Dad!
Hi, Mr Boback!
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Mr Boback!
Yes.
Hello, Mr Boback.
Hmm.
