Back to Life (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
Miri decides it's time to confront the community.
Hi, Billy, it would be
great if we could maybe
have an ice cream, as friends.
Miri, you're fired.
Oh! Oh, well, that's fine.
You're like Paul McKenna
making me do that.
You will always be alone!
Oh, fuck off and die!
Anna?
I'm so sorry.
Apparently it's where some girl
bludgeoned someone to death.
Why was she so angry with me, Mandy?
I used to just lie awake
trying to work out what I'd done.
Lara could be like that, though.
I fired her and, and she went nuts.
She said she was going
to do something.
Something bad, she said.
To light a fire after
you've been fired,
that's just showing off with words
and arson.
COUNTDOWN BEEPS
There are warnings of gales
in Thames, Dover and Wight.
The area forecasts
for the next 24 hours.
German, Bite, Humber.
West or south-west, four or five,
increasing seven,
to severe gale nine.
Dover, Wight.
Happy birthday.
No, it's not.
Oh, for God's sake.
What on Earth is Miri doing?
Put your glasses on, Caroline.
I was midway through an
extremely spicy new-dle soup,
when "boom", I get the call.
Miri Matteson, possible arson.
Oh, and she shouted an
old bag to death.
I nearly threw up.
Come, sign here.
Have you ever thrown up
new-dles before, Miri?
No. I did.
One of came out at full length.
Fuck noodles, Janice. I don't care.
And anyway, sorry, it's not
"newdle," it's noodle.
Yeah, that's what I said, new-dles.
No, noodle.
Ah, just forget it.
This did not need to happen,
I didn't do anything.
The good news is you
didn't do anything.
I know. The bad news, it's
going to take the community
a bit longer to catch up.
Have you seen this?
Hilarious.
Oh, my God. None of this is true.
Well... Oh, doe-eyed manipulator,
we're back to that.
They would never ever describe
a man like that. This is bullshit.
..well, you need to go to that
meeting and tell them that.
What meeting?
Forget I said it. Janice.
They're rounding up the town
for a meeting at the school later.
You're public enemy number one.
Oh, for God's sake.
There's been a lot of bad
juju since you've come back.
Yeah, but it's not my juju.
And I can tell you why it's
not my juju, because I don't even,
don't even, don't even
have any juju,
because I don't know what juju is.
And if someone just...
If they just bothered to come
up to me and talk to me...
This too shall pass.
Probably. Well, hopefully.
Yeah, all right, all right.
Sometimes it doesn't
though, does it?
Miri Matteson. Cos it just
gets worse.
Do I just..? Which means it did
pass, but it didn't get better.
So, in that case, you wish
that it hadn't passed.
Honestly, this is too much.
It's horrid.
I thought things were
getting better.
Someone's put a lot of
effort into it.
This is exactly what
she wears...but ironed.
You can hate us,
but don't punish the planet.
It's a very nice butter knife.
Rinse your tins, whoever you are.
Oh, don't let them
win. It's your birthday.
We're together as a family,
we're going to have a
wonderful day. Aren't we, Miri?
Yes, Mummy.
There, see?
Where is Miri, anyway?
She should be up by now.
You've got one friend.
Ah, thanks, Janice.
Nah, not me.
I'm your probation officer,
I meant the man who got you out.
What man?
Ah, the foreign fella.
He saw you on the beach.
Your alibi.
Gorgeous.
Here, he wanted me to give you this.
Oh, I'd love a big bear like that.
Very nice.
Yeah, I know this is controversial,
but I do love me a bit of back hair.
Miri?
Miri!
Why are we meeting here?
We could've just met in a cafe.
Can you, can you tell me
what is going on?
As a detective this has been
my toughest case, Miri.
I know why Lara was
so angry with you that night.
Well, tell me.
You know already, don't you, Miri?
Sorry, what are you talking about?
Lara was angry at you, because she
figured out your little secret.
You were sleeping with
Lara's father, Mr Boback.
What? Oh, no, no, no.
No. Yes, you did.
I think I would remember if I was
sleeping with my best friend's dad.
Let me finish. I didn't have sex
with an old policeman!
So, Lara finds out that
you're scissoring her dad.
Excuse me, sci...? Scissoring.
What? Oh, wow.
Here, it's all in the book.
The book? Yes.
So, Lara bites you,
savage rage, you push her back,
she dies.
And then he tells you
that you have to be quiet...
Oh. ..otherwise you will die.
And you go to jail,
so no-one will ever know
that Chief Inspector Boback likes
to swim in school girl soup.
I didn't sleep with him.
This didn't happen.
None of this is true.
OK.
OK.
I must've taken a wrong turn.
Who are you and who,
who do you work for?
Self-funded, self-taught.
Oh, God.
I actually thought that
you were going to help me.
I will.
No! Just drop it and go
and get a proper job!
Look, it's my dad's birthday,
I slept in a cell
and I'm going to go home now.
Oh, happy birthday.
No, it's my dad's birthday,
it's not my birthday.
Oh. Got that one wrong too, Poirot.
Well, thank God you're home.
So sorry, guys.
This isn't your present,
it's just your veggie box.
Oh, it's not your fault.
Your father's going to sue
the police.
No, I want to throttle Tina,
taking you in like that.
You didn't do anything. Oh, somebody
phoned them and told them that I did
so... Who?
I don't know. Ohh, what is that?
You. What?
We found it hanging in the front
garden. Um, it's a, an effigy.
It doesn't look anything
like me. I, I have a face.
Well, they've brushed your hair,
that's something.
Oh, is it? Why is it sitting
at the table?
Did you make it a cup of tea?
Well, it was cold and we
didn't want to throw you away.
Ideally we'd shred you
and use you for roof insulation.
Oscar.
Oh, God! No, no, no, no, no.
What, what? What's wrong?
It can't be poo.
Potatoes, it's all potatoes.
Haven't we suffered enough?
It's not personal, it's
just whatever's in season.
Oh, yeah. Well, uh,
sorry, maybe I overreacted.
Do you remember when Marion
got nothing but turnips?
Well, now, that's personal.
PHONE RINGS
Sorry, Dad. I've ruined
your birthday
and I haven't even
got you a present.
You are my present, Miri. Oh.
I've got you this year.
We'll have a lovely day.
Can't get any worse.
Miri. Cake's ready, I need two pairs
of hands, we'll pop into town.
I can hear you, darling.
Oh, do you know what? I think
I might stay here, I'll just
avoid the witch hunt. Oh.
You have done nothing wrong.
Well... Recently.
Hold your nerve.
OK.
I'll pick up the cake,
if you get these.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it's not...
..great.
Ignore them, can't even spell.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I didn't
actually...with you.
I know, I know. So, it's, uh,
it's, you know, it's wrong.
You know, me shagging you.
All right.
No, no, come on. Not cos you're...
..not cos you're terrible,
it's just that...
..I did love her, you know.
I was, I was younger, but, uh...
..I'm not some kind of playboy,
I'm not like that.
Of course.
They, uh...
..they said they don't want me
at the funeral, the family.
Oh, Billy. Oh, my God.
I liked you, but I would've never
have been unfaithful.
Look, let me sort this out.
I will go, I will go and talk
to each and every one of them
and I will force them to understand.
I mean, obviously, in a,
in a very non-threatening way.
Yeah.
I don't think there's going
to be ice cream again.
Cool, OK.
That's fine.
I can go on my own, if you like.
No, no, it's cool.
Oh. No, I'm having a bad enough
day already.
Miri, oh, shit. I'm sorry, like,
I'm so fucking sorry.
I was kind of expecting it,
to be honest, anyway.
Really?
Wow, cos, like, I, I-I wasn't.
Kind of came as a
bit of a surprise.
Look, I have handled worse,
so, uh, can we just,
just not talk about it, just never
talk about it again, all right?
OK, wow.
You are so amazing and you
look great for your age.
Oh, yeah, well, prison's really
good for your skin, it's
anti-ageing.
You look fit, though, so,
like, I still would.
What you doing?
Well, I'm just saying what
I feel about your,
about your face and your tits.
Oh, my God, is this the only way
that you can talk to me?
Have you not evolved, at all? Huh?
Do you know what? It's
never going to happen.
I am never going
to have sex with you.
Firstly, you're not
my type...at all, any more.
And secondly, you are
a married man with twins.
My basket used to be
so much sexier than this.
What, just rammed full of lube,
olives and body oil?
Like hand cream and candles.
Christ. Fucking twins.
You know what? You do,
you do look really, really awful.
Yeah, well, you,
you look like shit, yourself.
That's better, well done.
I do look like shit.
I tried to find you yesterday.
I was with Mandy.
Oh, poor you. She's an asshole.
No, she speaks highly of you, she
says that you'd jizz on anything so.
Apart from her.
Did she say that about me? Yep.
Well, she'd shag anything.
Apart from you.
I thought you were
going to kill me.
Your dad gave me this black eye,
I thought you'd at least
do the other one.
Why did my dad give you a black eye?
North-west seven
to severe gale nine.
Occasionally storm ten, at first.
Rough or very rough.
Thundery rain, poor.
DIAL TONE
Oh, I need to talk to Mandy.
She's at that meeting
about the killer girl.
She should be locked up,
if you ask me.
Aw, I was.
For 18 years, you idiot.
Thought 70 deserves a suit.
Still fits...
..in most areas.
Where's Miri?
Oh, Oscar, you have to come with me.
Where could she be?
It's a small town, we'll find her.
One at a time, people!
A dead old lady on a lawn, arson,
bricks through windows, this town
isn't safe now she's back.
OK, Lisa. She should be locked up.
She's unstable.
No, I'm not! Jesus Christ.
This has gone way too far.
Right, hi, hello.
I'm pretty angry right now, so I may
not come across very well,
which is...
Nasty psycho!
..really, really, really annoying,
cos I'm actually very,
very, very, very, very nice
and stable, aren't I?
Can be. Yes.
Huh! Yeah, right.
OK.
That woman, Anna, she had a heart
attack. Boom, dead.
What about the brick?
And somebody threw that brick at me.
Look, look, can you see?
You threw that brick.
I can't see anything.
Ah. That's just a normal head.
Please, I am not a bad person.
I am a good person.
You killed someone!
I mean, I, I mean, I...I am a good
person who did a really terrible,
terrible thing but, but we all do
terrible things.
Come on, we all do!
I set fire to my truck.
It was me. See! Sor...what?
I know, I just did it.
For the insurance.
You framed me?
Yeah. Sorry, I, um...
We are here to discuss
the release of a violent
psychopath into our town.
And the parking on Dixon Street.
No, there's a separate
committee for that.
She is evil and this is a community
full of decent, God-fearing people.
Oh, shut up, Lisa. You spent the
summer screwing your choir master.
Oh, didn't see you there, Martin.
Now you know.
You can talk, everyone knows
what you've been up to.
Uh, keep it civil. She's right.
And I'm here to make amends.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I hurt my own daughter.
Yes, you did.
And I had chlamydia.
Because I gave it to him.
Because I, I gave to her and maybe
one or two other people in...
Oh, Dom, not again!
..in this room, you should
probably get yourself checked.
Sorry, Brenda.
Can we just stay on topic, please?
Why don't you just move?
Why don't you move?
I've just re-mortgaged.
Nobody has to move.
Because you want to kill us all?
I'll kill you all before she does.
Dad, don't. He doesn't mean that.
Well, he might.
Graffitiing our house, effigies,
shitting in boxes, you...
That was someone else, Dad.
..well, I'll kill them, too.
No, they're already dead, so you
don't have to, it doesn't matter.
Has anyone got a phone charger?
Shut up, fire boy.
I've got a Samsung one.
Shut up! Shut up, all of you.
You are all awful people,
all of you.
Miri Matteson is my friend
and she did not kill that lady.
She is not dangerous.
She didn't steal your hanging
baskets and she hasn't joined ISIS.
Sue? No, Sue, come on.
And can I just add to that,
that I did not have sex
with Mr Boback, which
I was accused of today.
I. Um, I think it was Mandy
that was shagging him.
What? Well, that was
the rumour, anyway.
What's...
...but did you, did you...?
Man?
Um, so back to the, um,
chlamydia situation.
Yeah, it, the thing is
it can lie dormant.
Mandy?
MANDY CRIES
Is it true? Were you
sleeping with Mr Boback?
Answer me!
Please?
Look, um...
..I'm not angry with you, I just, I
just want to know if you're OK.
OK, if you don't want to
speak, then, um,
let's do that thing that we used
to do at school, do you remember?
Is my name Miri?
Yes.
That's great.
Good. Uh, is my fringe terrible?
Oh, yeah.
Yes, it is, thank you so much.
OK, um...
..is what Dom said true? Were
you really sleeping with Mr Boback?
Christ, Mandy!
Why didn't you tell me?
Did Lara know? Did she know
the night she died?
So, is that why she was so angry
with me? Did she think that
I knew about it?
She didn't think it was me, did she?
Did she think that I
slept with her dad?
I didn't want her to hate me.
Did you lie?
And did you tell
her it was me?
Mandy!
Did you lie and tell her
I was sleeping with her dad!?
None of this had to happen.
Get out of there, now.
Get out of there, now!
Get out of there, I'm going
to fucking kill you!
I don't...Fuck you!
You fucking...FUCK YOU!

FOOTSTEPS
Well...
..I, uh, I saw you here
and I got these.
Thank you.
Um, what, what changed your mind?
Oh, uh, well, I went for a big walk
and I realised how,
how small we all are
and I thought,
"Everything's got a bit shit."
So, I got us two ice creams.
Do you want to come sit down?
Oh, thanks.
There you are. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, Miri...
..you look sad.
Yeah, I am a bit.
None of it needed to happen. Hm.
My best friend...
died... Mm-hm.
..hating me for something that...
..I didn't do and I can't tell
her that it's not true.
She knows now.
What?
Well, I think, when you..
..when you die,
you become everything, like
the, the sea and the air, so...
..so you know everything.
That would be nice,
that would be really nice.
Well, that's why dead people
aren't allowed to, sort of,
do pub quizzes. Cos they...
That's terrible. ..ugh.
I just want to start my life.
I feel like I'm not allowed.
That's rubbish, this is it.
What?
Your life, it's happening...
..now.
Now! Now. OK.
Yeah.
Just...
..look at that.
You know? Yeah, all right.
All right.
Give us your hand.
They're quite big.
Aren't they? Maybe you've got
really small hands.
No, no, I just, I, I went for it
and it felt like a...
..flipper.
When did you hold a flipper last?
Last week.
But I can see what it is
now, proportionately it's
the fingers, isn't it? They're a
lot longer than... They're longer.
..yeah. Good for, good for
getting stuff out of bottles.
I've honestly never tried that.
Something to look forward to.
# Beetles and eggs and blues and
poor little everything else
# You steam a lens
Stable eyes and glass
# Like you're pissed off
through my bird lips
# Good news
# You'll hang the hearts
black and dull as the night
# We hanged your pass and
start being as you in ecstasy
# Still being cried and
laughed at before
# Should I be sung and
unbroken by not saying... #
great if we could maybe
have an ice cream, as friends.
Miri, you're fired.
Oh! Oh, well, that's fine.
You're like Paul McKenna
making me do that.
You will always be alone!
Oh, fuck off and die!
Anna?
I'm so sorry.
Apparently it's where some girl
bludgeoned someone to death.
Why was she so angry with me, Mandy?

I don't think there's going
to be ice cream again.
Cool, OK.
That's fine.
I can go on my own, if you like.
No, no, it's cool.
Oh. No, I'm having a bad enough
day already.
Miri, oh, shit. I'm sorry, like,
I'm so fucking sorry.
I was kind of expecting it,
to be honest, anyway.
Really?
Wow, cos, like, I, I-I wasn't.
Kind of came as a
bit of a surprise.
Look, I have handled worse,
so, uh, can we just,
just not talk about it, just never
talk about it again, all right?
OK, wow.
You are so amazing and you
look great for your age.
Oh, yeah, well, prison's really
good for your skin, it's
anti-ageing.
You look fit, though, so,
like, I still would.
What you doing?
Well, I'm just saying what
I feel about your,
about your face and your tits.
Oh, my God, is this the only way
that you can talk to me?
Have you not evolved, at all? Huh?
Do you know what? It's
never going to happen.
I am never going
to have sex with you.
Firstly, you're not
my type...at all, any more.
And secondly, you are
a married man with twins.
My basket used to be
so much sexier than this.
What, just rammed full of lube,
olives and body oil?
Like hand cream and candles.
Christ. Fucking twins.
You know what? You do,
you do look really, really awful.
Yeah, well, you,
you look like shit, yourself.
That's better, well done.
I do look like shit.
I tried to find you yesterday.
I was with Mandy.
Oh, poor you. She's an asshole.
No, she speaks highly of you, she
says that you'd jizz on anything so.
Apart from her.
Did she say that about me? Yep.
Well, she'd shag anything.
Apart from you.
I thought you were
going to kill me.
Your dad gave me this black eye,
I thought you'd at least
do the other one.
Why did my dad give you a black eye?
North-west seven
to severe gale nine.
Occasionally storm ten, at first.
Rough or very rough.
Thundery rain, poor.
DIAL TONE
Oh, I need to talk to Mandy.
She's at that meeting
about the killer girl.
She should be locked up,
if you ask me.
Aw, I was.
For 18 years, you idiot.
Thought 70 deserves a suit.
Still fits...
..in most areas.
Where's Miri?
Oh, Oscar, you have to come with me.
Where could she be?
It's a small town, we'll find her.
One at a time, people!
A dead old lady on a lawn, arson,
bricks through windows, this town
isn't safe now she's back.
OK, Lisa. She should be locked up.
She's unstable.
No, I'm not! Jesus Christ.
This has gone way too far.
Right, hi, hello.
I'm pretty angry right now, so I may
not come across very well,
which is...
Nasty psycho!
..really, really, really annoying,
cos I'm actually very,
very, very, very, very nice
and stable, aren't I?
Can be. Yes.
Huh! Yeah, right.
OK.
That woman, Anna, she had a heart
attack. Boom, dead.
What about the brick?
And somebody threw that brick at me.
Look, look, can you see?
You threw that brick.
I can't see anything.
Ah. That's just a normal head.
Please, I am not a bad person.
I am a good person.
You killed someone!
I mean, I, I mean, I...I am a good
person who did a really terrible,
terrible thing but, but we all do
terrible things.
Come on, we all do!
I set fire to my truck.
It was me. See! Sor...what?
I know, I just did it.
For the insurance.
You framed me?
Yeah. Sorry, I, um...
We are here to discuss
the release of a violent
psychopath into our town.
And the parking on Dixon Street.
No, there's a separate
committee for that.
She is evil and this is a community
full of decent, God-fearing people.
Oh, shut up, Lisa. You spent the
summer screwing your choir master.
Oh, didn't see you there, Martin.
Now you know.
You can talk, everyone knows
what you've been up to.
Uh, keep it civil. She's right.
And I'm here to make amends.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I hurt my own daughter.
Yes, you did.
And I had chlamydia.
Because I gave it to him.
Because I, I gave to her and maybe
one or two other people in...
Oh, Dom, not again!
..in this room, you should
probably get yourself checked.
Sorry, Brenda.
Can we just stay on topic, please?
Why don't you just move?
Why don't you move?
I've just re-mortgaged.
Nobody has to move.
Because you want to kill us all?
I'll kill you all before she does.
Dad, don't. He doesn't mean that.
Well, he might.
Graffitiing our house, effigies,
shitting in boxes, you...
That was someone else, Dad.
..well, I'll kill them, too.
No, they're already dead, so you
don't have to, it doesn't matter.
Has anyone got a phone charger?
Shut up, fire boy.
I've got a Samsung one.
Shut up! Shut up, all of you.
You are all awful people,
all of you.
Miri Matteson is my friend
and she did not kill that lady.
She is not dangerous.
She didn't steal your hanging
baskets and she hasn't joined ISIS.
Sue? No, Sue, come on.
And can I just add to that,
that I did not have sex
with Mr Boback, which
I was accused of today.
I. Um, I think it was Mandy
that was shagging him.
What? Well, that was
the rumour, anyway.
What's...
...but did you, did you...?
Man?
Um, so back to the, um,
chlamydia situation.
Yeah, it, the thing is
it can lie dormant.
Mandy?
MANDY CRIES
Is it true? Were you
sleeping with Mr Boback?
Answer me!
Please?
Look, um...
..I'm not angry with you, I just, I
just want to know if you're OK.
OK, if you don't want to
speak, then, um,
let's do that thing that we used
to do at school, do you remember?
Is my name Miri?
Yes.
That's great.
Good. Uh, is my fringe terrible?
Oh, yeah.
Yes, it is, thank you so much.
OK, um...
..is what Dom said true? Were
you really sleeping with Mr Boback?
Christ, Mandy!
Why didn't you tell me?
Did Lara know? Did she know
the night she died?
So, is that why she was so angry
with me? Did she think that
I knew about it?
She didn't think it was me, did she?
Did she think that I
slept with her dad?
I didn't want her to hate me.
Did you lie?
And did you tell
her it was me?
Mandy!
Did you lie and tell her
I was sleeping with her dad!?
None of this had to happen.
Get out of there, now.
Get out of there, now!
Get out of there, I'm going
to fucking kill you!
I don't...Fuck you!
You fucking...FUCK YOU!

FOOTSTEPS
Well...
..I, uh, I saw you here
and I got these.
Thank you.
Um, what, what changed your mind?
Oh, uh, well, I went for a big walk
and I realised how,
how small we all are
and I thought,
"Everything's got a bit shit."
So, I got us two ice creams.
Do you want to come sit down?
Oh, thanks.
There you are. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, Miri...
..you look sad.
Yeah, I am a bit.
None of it needed to happen. Hm.
My best friend...
died... Mm-hm.
..hating me for something that...
..I didn't do and I can't tell
her that it's not true.
She knows now.
What?
Well, I think, when you..
..when you die,
you become everything, like
the, the sea and the air, so...
..so you know everything.
That would be nice,
that would be really nice.
Well, that's why dead people
aren't allowed to, sort of,
do pub quizzes. Cos they...
That's terrible. ..ugh.
I just want to start my life.
I feel like I'm not allowed.
That's rubbish, this is it.
What?
Your life, it's happening...
..now.
Now! Now. OK.
Yeah.
Just...
..look at that.
You know? Yeah, all right.
All right.
Give us your hand.
They're quite big.
Aren't they? Maybe you've got
really small hands.
No, no, I just, I, I went for it
and it felt like a...
..flipper.
When did you hold a flipper last?
Last week.
But I can see what it is
now, proportionately it's
the fingers, isn't it? They're a
lot longer than... They're longer.
..yeah. Good for, good for
getting stuff out of bottles.
I've honestly never tried that.
Something to look forward to.
