Blood (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

FIONA: It's First Holy Communion
madness at the minute.

Will be nice
to get the family together.

JIM:
Cat? Michael?

Cat saidyes, but we'll see
what that means.

If Paul wanted to talk,
would you at least meet?

If Paul wants to talk,
I'll talk.

[ Thuds, crunches ]

I love you, Tom.

It's never been that way.

It's Fiona, isn't it?

GILLIAN: I think about starting
over sometimes, moving away.



I can't do that with you.

Maybe you're protecting someone.

Someone who saw you needed help.

- [ Water bubbling ]
- [ Thudding ]

TOM: Some things are going to
be changing around the farm.

You might need to look
for something else.

You saw what happened to Shane,
didn't you?

He's dead.

What hold has that bollocks
got over you?

What have you done?

I'm on a suspended sentence.

For what?

Assault.

BREEN: A man doesn't end up
inside the boot of his own car



driven into the water
by his wife

without something going on.

[ Groans ]

- [ Door opens ]
- JIM: Paul!

[ Grunts ]

BREEN: We'll find out
one way or another.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Oh!

[ Earring clatters ]

Paul.

Oh, my God.

[ Tense music plays ]

[ Beep]

PAUL:
Hi, you've reached Paul.

Sorry I'm not around
to take your call.

Please leave a message, yeah.

[ Music continues ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

- ROSE: Granny, come on!
- MARJORIE: Yes, yes.

Just let me get the focus right.

- Granny, come on.
- Granny!

I just want a couple more.

Marjorie, why don't you let
the kids finish their breakfast?

I won't be a minute.

I just want a few pictures

while they're all dressed up
looking gorgeous!

- Where's Dad?
- FIONA: Uh...

He'll have just popped
to the shops or something.

Well, he's taking his time.

We'll have to be going
in a minute.

- I'm sure he's on his way.
- JOSEPH: Another one?

ROSE: Please, Granny,
you've taken loads already.

MARJORIE: Smile!

Aw!
Look at you!

Kids, eat your breakfast.

MARJORIE: Now, don't get
your nice clothes all messed up.

Especially you, Joseph.

You eat like a little savage.
[ Laughs ]

Marjorie.

JOSEPH:
I can't wait.

- [ Sighs ]
- What's happened now?

I've been trying Paul
all morning.

He's not answering.

Did you hear him come home
last night?

Well, if he wasn't with you,
I don't know where he was.

Oh, shit.

Should I call him?
He might answer to me.

- [ Knock on door ]
- Oh!

Oh.

Morning.

Sorry, I-I thought
you might be Paul.

Oh.
Paul not here?

[ Sighs ]

- Maybe I should call him.
- I'm trying him.

- This is bloody typical.
- Well, I'm sure he'll show up.

Well, he better, or we'll miss
our own kids' communion.

- Oh, yeah. Here they are.
- CHILDREN: Granddad!

Ha ha ha!
The big day!

Now, no gulping
from the cup of Christ.

Do you hear me now?

We better start
getting ourselves together.

I mean, we're still waiting
on Michael as well.

Oh, Michael's coming, is he?

Yeah, he's getting a lift
so he can have a drink.

Is that okay?
I didn't think.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, don't --
It'll be fine.

Still nothing.

Kids, go brush your teeth.

MARJORIE: Yeah. Come on.
Come on.

I'm sure Paul will be fine,
you know?

Yeah.
Yeah, I know.

It's just a big day.

Doesn't help
that it's Mam's church.

No.

We got her flowers.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Oh, it's Michael.
He's outside.

- You gonna be all right?
- Yeah, I'll be grand.

- Hello, you.
- Hey.

Well, you look handsome.

I like your hair.

Oh, don't.
The state of me.

[ Chuckles ]

Dad's inside.

Hi, Michael.

Hi.

Everyone's about ready to go.
We're just waiting on Paul.

Oh, right.
Yeah.

Should we be worried?

Oh, no.

No, I...

Probably just lost
track of time, you know?

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.

Look, do you mind
if I have one of those?

It's just --
I-I don't normally, but...

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Yeah.

How are you settling in
to the new place?

I believe you moved in
with Wicko.

It's grand, yeah.

Is he coming today?

Yeah.
Meeting us at Flood's later.

Look, Michael, I'm sorry.

I hope you realize
that I never...

Look, I wish I could have
done things differently.

I realize why you didn't want to
see me and speak to me, but...

I'm not really ready
to talk about this right now.

Okay, well...

Look, I'm here if
you want to talk about it.

That's all I'm...

That's all I'm saying.

[ Sighs ]

[ Line ringing ]

Still no Paul?

Why don't we just take my car?

He'll be here.

Granny, what if the priest
doesn't let us take Communion?

Why wouldn't the priest
let you take Communion?

Freddy said the priest
wouldn't let us

because Granddad killed someone.

Who the hell is Freddy?

He's in our Communion class.

Well, you tell Freddy to mind
his own bloody business!

- Fiona.
- Christ, we need to go.

[ Doorknob rattles ]

Where the hell have you been?

I was...

I was just getting some petrol.

Can you drive?

Yeah.

Then can you please go upstairs
and get ready to go?

Sorry.

FIONA: Right.
Let's get ourselves together.

MICHAEL: Come on, Joseph.
Come on.

FIONA:
Quick, quick.

Oh, forgot the bags.
Here, take that.

Mind your dress.

MICHAEL:
[ Speaking indistinctly ]

JOSEPH: [ Laughing ]

Oh, yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I, uh...

Wait, I have a load of bin bags
in there, so...

- Okay.
- Here, give me some.

Right.

[ Exhales slowly ]

Who'd pay for this?!

Huh?!

[ Coughing]

JIM:
All right, Paul.

It's all right.

[ Coughing ]

[ Coughing ]

I was going to...

He was trying to...

What did youdo?

I did nothing.

I was just trying
to push him off.

You killed him.

No.

It was an accident.

What do we do?

What do we do?
We've got to go to the guards.

He was a loner.

He was a junkie.

No one's gonna be surprised
if he just disappeared.

No one's gonna
find that strange.

[ Horn blaring ]

Paul!

[ Engine starts ]

- [ Bell chiming ]
- MAN: Okay, kids.

Come on.
Stand right here.

Look at the camera.
Look at the camera.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Careful, kids.

[ Car alarm chirps ]

Right.
Big smiles, okay?

Big smiles!
Sorry, madam.

One side, please. Thank you.
Sorry.

- WOMAN: Fiona!
- Oh, hi.

How's it going?

- MAN: Hey, Paul.
- Good to see you.

Right.

Come on.

You go.
I'll be over in a minute.

What are you doing?

I'm scratching me ass.

I thought we weren't
going to do this today.

I thought we weren't
going to worry them.

Yeah.

So I need to say
what I want to say to her

right now here in my own head.

Otherwise,
it's going to come out.

So I need a minute.

- Hiya.
- Hiya.

Did you make it home last night?

Yeah, I slept on the couch.

And why weren't you
answering your phone?

I was worried.

I had it on silent.

Who are you looking for?

What?
No one.

- Oh!
- Hello.

You look great.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Yeah, just parking stuff.

FIONA: Yeah, I know.
It's busy, isn't it?

- GILLIAN: Yeah.
- CHILDREN: Gillian!

Ha ha ha!
Hello!

Don't you look smart?

FIONA: All right,
let go of Auntie Gillian.

- She's turning blue.
- [ Children giggling ]

We've got a little present
for you.

This is from me
and your Uncle Tom.

- CHILDREN: Thank you!
- And I'll look after that.

Would you just, um...

Excuse me for a minute

Oh, kids, we should say hello
to the priest.

You coming?

You go on.
We'll be right over.

[ Sighs ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sobs ]

All right?

What happened to you
this morning?

- I had a bit of difficulty.
- What?

I couldn't find somewhere,

and then it just got
too bright, so...

So where's the body?

Still in the car.

Jesus Christ!
That's the only --

It's the one thing you had to do
is just get rid of it!

Have you even any idea how hard
it is to get rid of a body?

I couldn't just hide him
under some fucking leaves!

Keep your voice down.

How is this even
my responsibility? You...

- I didn't kill the bastard.
- Shut up!

Okay, look, I...

I have an idea, okay,
but I can't do it on my own.

- I'm gonna need your help.
- What?

We'll have to wait
until they're all in the pub.

What, oh, you don't think

they're gonna miss us
if we leave the pub?

FIONA: They're gathering
everyone for a big photo.

Oh.
Okay.

Good.

I haven't been able
to tidy it up for a while.

Oh, no, don't.

Fiona, that'd be grand.

MAN: Okay, guys.
Guys, can you look this way?

Thank you.

[ Whispering ]
That's Jim Hogan.

MAN: The gentleman in the blue.
The gentleman in the blue, yeah.

Can you go on the other side?
Brilliant. Brilliant, thank you.

Okay. Can you move that veil
out of her...?

Thank you.
Very good.

Can you all move
a little closer?

Great.

Okay, shuffle to the left a bit.

Squeeze in.
That's it, yeah.

Great!
Yeah, thank you.

Now, thank you.

Um, short ones
to the front, please?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Okay.
Right.

Are we ready?
And...

Oh, wait!

S-Sorry. Sorry.
There's one more person.

Cat!

- All right, darling?
- Hi, Dad.

MAN:
Okay, are we ready?

And smile!

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Ah. Could I have the children
up to the altar, please,

to receive
their First Holy Communion?

[ Playing down-tempo
organ music ]

[ Indistinct talking ]

The body of Christ.

Amen.

PRIEST:
The body of Christ.

CHILD: Amen.

PRIEST:
The body of Christ.

WOMAN:
[ Whispering ] That's Dr. Hogan.

CHILD: Amen.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

KIAN: You're the one
killed his wife?

I'd probably burst into flames.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Yeah.

CAT:
Sorry I didn't call.

Oh, it's fine.
It's fine.

- How have you been?
- Yeah, you know, good, good.

I missed you.

I'm glad you came.

CAT:
So am I.

PRIEST: The body.

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping stops ]

Why don't we talk about
what happened

after you left the church?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Knock on window ]

- Hey.
- Hi.

[ Both chuckle ]

How are you?

Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.

Look at you.

- All redecorated.
- You should blame him.

He thinks he's overdressed
if he's not in his pajamas.

- Sorry.
- Hiya, Cat?

Good to see you.

At least I'm not as bad
as some of this lot.

Jesus Christ, look.

Throwing on the same frill
since the '70s.

Right.
Uh, come on.

I'm gasping.
Buy us a round, yeah?

Yeah.

[ Indistinct talking ]

JIM: Fiona.

I'll see you inside.

Paul and I just want to go out

and get something special
for the kids.

You don't mind holding the fort
while we're gone?

- What, now?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, he tried to get
something earlier,

but he didn't manage it,
you know?

Is that okay?

Christ, just make sure
he comes back.

Of course!
I'll be with him.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Tense music plays ]

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Children shouting
indistinctly ]

[ Up-tempo music playing]

- Here, sis.
- Oh, thanks.

As promised.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Mind if I join you?

Yeah, not at all.

Where's Paul?

Oh, he's off somewhere with Dad.

I don't know what they're doing.

I'm just gonna go to the loo.

Been a while, hasn't it?

Last time I was here,

I was shoving Frank's head
down the toilet.

[ Laughter ]

You look different.

- Do I?
- Mm.

You've changed something.
Is it your hair?

No.

Well, you look different.
You look well.

Well, I've been going
to therapy.

- Maybe that's it.
- Maybe.

I don't remember having anything
nearly like this

when we made our Communion.

Are you serious?

Yeah, sure.
We just went to Mass.

You got spoiled rotten.
You andCat.

- I'm the one they scrimped on.
- Absolute bullshit.

You got a party in the garden.

Everybody came.
Do you not remember?

- No.
- What?

You stole a packet
of cigarettes,

and Cat sat in an anthill.

God, and she sprayed me
with the hose!

To get rid of the ants.

Oh, I thought it was
because me and Michael

left you out all the time.

Well, you did exclude me
from all the bold stuff.

That's because
you would have told!

Either way, you got more money,

so I don't know what
you're complaining about.

You should see the amount
people are giving those two.

- Yeah?
- How much?

We're at 200 euro.

- MICHAEL: Between them?
- Each!

Jesus.

- Well, don't give it to them.
- MICHAEL: Yeah.

Yeah, keep it.
Get your hair done.

Mm.
It's what God would have wanted.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Tense music plays ]

Okay, come on.
That's enough.

[ Both groan ]

- Jesus Christ.
- [ Exhaling sharply ]

I'm surprised nobody complained
about the smell.

- [ Coughs ]
- Come on.

Come on.
Take his legs.

[ Coughing ]

[ Grunting ]

Put him down there.

Jesus.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Jesus.
When does the concrete come?

Tomorrow.

Okay, come on.

MARJORIE:
People just don't understand

what it's like for Paul,
you know?

Seeing his wife
going through all she has.

Can you imagine?

It's a wonder he gets out of bed
in the morning sometimes.

It really is.

He's so brave, you know?

And so is Fiona.

She takes her strength
from him in many ways.

Such a nice person.
So loyal and caring.

It's really very sad.

Yes.
It is.

Especially for the children.

How is your boy?

I believe he's doing really well
for an adopted.

What?

You're just winding yourself up.

You think she hears herself?
"He's so brave."

Maybe we should just go.
We've put in the hours.

I'm not gonna go.

I'm having a nice time,
you know?

Spending time with my sisters.

Do you know how long it's been
since we've been together?

I'm just worried you're gonna...

Small brandy, please.

How are you two boys?

Oh, we're good, Marjorie.
Yourself?

Oh, just fine.

Thank you.

You know, if you spent
a little less time

blaming everyone else
for what happened,

you might feel
a little bit better.

Just a thought.

[ Grunts ]

Jesus, Jim.
My hands are shaking.

Come on.
We've got to get cleaned up.

[ Clank ]

What is it?

Nothing.
I just thought I...

It's nothing.
Just grab the shovels.

Come on.
We've got to go.

[ Tense music plays ]

Grab the stuff.

[ Engine starts ]

PAUL:
Who closed the gate?

JIM: Keep driving.
Just keep driving.

Aah! Aah!

What are -- What are you doing?
Paul.

Get back in the car.
Paul!

Shane.
You're here.

KIAN: You saw what happened
to Shane, didn't you?

Aah!

JIM:
Okay, lads?

Aren't you supposed to be

at your kids' Communion
or something?

Yeah, we are.
We just, uh...

Well, we just stopped to pick
something up for the kids.

Yeah, no, we're going to get
something special, Paul.

We better get on, you know?

Okay, boys.
See you later.

Yeah, take care.

Jesus Christ,
what is the matter with you?

- [ Exhales sharply ]
- Paul.

Kian told me
that Shane was dead.

Jesus Christ.

Well, look...

Look, none of that
matters now, Paul.

We've just got to get back
to the pub, okay?

Just none of this
ever happened, all right?

Yeah?

[ Car approaching ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Music stops ]

Dad and Paul are back.

Oh, God, you're joking.

Where -- Where are they?
Where are they?

Oh, look.
Here they are.

Look, look.
Hey, look what we got you.

- Your dad's back.
- JIM: Hey!

- ROSE: Hi!
- Ha ha!

Your dad and I got you those

because we know
it's been a big day for you,

and we're really proud of you.

- Thank you.
- Well done.

- Thanks.
- You did great.

Is that it?

Two hours to pick up teddy bears
from a petrol station?

Yeah, well,
sorry you'renot happy.

Look, we just wanted to get
them something, you know?

Sod this.
I'm getting a pint.

- Paul!
- What are you having, Jim?

Paul, can you not forget
you're driving us home?

I haven't forgotten a thing,
and I'll do what I bloody like!

What are you having, Jim?

Don't speak to my sister
like that.

Sorry, Michael, what's that?
I missed that.

I said don't talk to Fiona
like that.

- It's disrespectful.
- It's disrespectful?

All right, just calm down, okay?

How's about you shag off and
mind your own business for once?

- All right? What about that?
- Please, now, lads.

Let's not
embarrass ourselves here.

We're not the ones
shouting at your daughter.

My God, you'll look for
any excuse, won't you?

Any reason
to have a crack at me.

I'm not doing anything, mate.

I've said everything
I need to say.

- Fuck you!
- Paul!

- My God.
- Please, Michael.

Why don't you piss off, Dad,
all right?

You're not even
supposed to be here.

- You should be in prison.
- WICKO: Michael, take it easy.

MICHAEL: Do you even know
who you're defending, do you?

- Michael, please.
- He beat the shit out of Wicko.

Sorry.

Sorry, I wasn't supposed to
tell you that.

That's how we all operate,
isn't it?

We all do terrible things
to each other,

then we keep it all
one big secret.

Yeah, it was just the same
as this as well, you know?

Your man loses his temper.

We're all supposed to
just deal with it.

God help anyone
who tells him to shut up.

- It was just a fight.
- It wasn't a fight.

You got a fair few digs in
yourself, I seem to remember.

Don't you talk to him.

PAUL: You wanted me
out of the way.

That's what
you've always wanted.

WICKO: That's not true.
What are you on about?

You took me to court!

- Come on.
- You tried to ruin my family!

WICKO:
You did that yourself, mate.

Real men used to have a fight,
and that'd be the end of it.

You think you're the real man
in here, do you?

- Let's go.
- Christ, mate, you're pathetic.

Yeah, I know!
I know! I know!

All right.
Okay, Paul. Okay.

Calm down, now.
Calm down.

[ Whispering ] Let's go outside.

Calm down.

PAUL:
I can't do this.

I can't do this, Jim.
I can't live like this.

- Look, Paul...
- I can't.

- What's he talking about?
- I can't live like this.

I've got nothing.
I have ruined everything.

- No, come on.
- I don't even have a job.

- What?
- And I don't know why.

I don't even know why.

Because your wife
is shagging mine.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I'm so sorry.

Just go, okay?
Just go.

Look, darling...

I'm gonna take Paul, okay?

But I just want you to know

that whatever happens,
I love you.

CAT: Bye.

[ Crying ] Paul...

[ Engine starts ]

[ Sobbing ]

Come on.

CAT:
Fiona loved him.

She could never hurt him.
She loved him.

BREEN:
She was having an affair.

Yeah, and she was devastated.

You could see that.
You could.

Sounds to me like there was

a great deal of tension
between them.

Thanks for your time, Cat.
Appreciate it.

Fiona didn't do this.

I saw her.
I've been with her.

I know she couldn't.

She couldn't.

I think hewas hiding something.

Paul.

It's just...

So when he left, drove off...

...I don't think he was
where he said he was going.

And what gave you
that impression?

Nothing.
I'm just...

I just -- um...

I think there was more going on
than any of us knew about.

You must have seen something...

...heard something.

It just doesn't
come out of nowhere.

It's just an instinct.

Why do you still protect them?

What have they ever done
to protect you?

What kinship, what loyalty
do they ever show you?

There's a man lying dead, Cat.

A husband.

A father.

A son.

And all I hear is
no one knows anything.

Someone needs to make
the right choice, Cat.

Someone needs to say something.

Will you?

I'm not gonna make up a story,

and I'm not gonna speculate
or fill in blanks

so you can go after my family.

[ Knock on door ]

- Yep?
- [ Door opens ]

MAN:
Sir, do you have a minute?

BREEN: No, no, it's okay.
Give it to me.

[ Down-tempo music playing ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Well, what is it?

I think I know
who I should be talking to.

You ready?

Let's begin.

[ Woman vocalizing ]
