Skins (2007–2013): Season 4, Episode 5 - Freddie - full transcript

I really fucking love you.

Raise it a million.

Ciao mi bella bambini!

I'm drinking a macchiato in
Saint Fucking Peter's Square,

exactly where we sat in the summer.

I'm just thinking of you.
Hope you're all right, darling.

I'm having an amazing time with Aldo

so, look, I'm gonna stay on
a bit longer, sweetheart

cos Rome shits on Bristol
from a height!

I'm missing you loads, and turn
your mobile on, love, yeah?

I'll call you later.



Va fan, fuck yourself!

Morning, beautiful.

Oh, shit!

Judgment day.

Eff, what's the matter?

Come on, it won't be long.

It'll only be a bollocking about
attendance or something.

Just...don't.

You coming down?

Still up.

Way up.

This is me happy.

I can't miss a disciplinary.
Dad'll flip.

Be a long time dead.



Freddie?

Freddie, where have you been?
I was in the middle of doing your hair.

Not now, Karen.

But if this style goes to shit
I'll fail my feathering module!

Oh! Not right now.

But I never see you any more. When
are you done with that fuck-a-thon?

Oh, you wanna sponsor me! That's
good cos we're saving the polar bears.

I want to cut your fucking hair.

Cobwebs. Got to be vigilant.

Stay out of my room, Dad.

So you've been busy,
saving the polar bears?

Can you get out now, please?

Freddie, acknowledge your father.

Look, whatever the college says,
you do.

No more neglecting your studies.

I'm glad this young lady's
making you happy, but...

No, you're not, you're jealous.

What?

Clean yourself up.

Never thought I'd have to hide
in my own house.

- Salut, etranger!
- Hello, stranger!

I thought study was too 2009
for you and Effy.

Where is she anyway?

- She's at home. She didn't feel well.
- Trop de jiggy jig!

Don't you get... bored.
Reduced to a mechanism? I mean...

You just don't get it, do you, J?

Well, hallelujah for that.

Il y a quelqu'un pour chacun.

There's someone for everyone.

Right, boys, I've gotta go.

I've got a meeting with Mr. Love, Interim
Educational Intervention or something.

Tough Love!

Le Lips is tres, tres dans le merde!

I heard he power-hosed Dylan
Simpson for forging sick notes.

You could plead possible sexual
OCD for interfering with your study.

I'll bear that in mind, J.
See ya later.

What you staring at?

What are you waiting for?
Come in.

Door!

Frederick.

It's Freddie.

Why don't you sit down, Frederick?

Little to the left, please.

Thank you.

So the history coursework,
I'm told, is late.

Yes, sorry.

In fact, I'm told that
everything you do is late

or inadequate

or both.

And do you know what late
and inadequate means for you...

..Frederick?

That's your life.

Right there.

You have until Monday to
complete the missing coursework.

Can you be adequate, Frederick?
Can you do that?

- I can try.
- Try?

What would Michael say?

Pardon?

Michael. What would he say?

- "I'm bad."
- Yes, and what else?

"Beat it"?

No. He'd say,
"Gotta be starting something."

OK?

Don't you think you
should be leaving?

Right now?

Yes.

Eff?

Eff, are you home?

Effy.

Eff, what are you doing
in your mum's room?

Effy.

What?

What is it?

You've found my porn stash.

Effy...

To make it easier.

All right, what the fuck did you take
cos you're not making any sense?

Easier to accept.

Accept.

The end.

End.

What fucking end would that be?

Mine...

Freddie.

You all right?

Hunky fucking dory.

Maybe just calm it down a bit, yeah?

I'm not the one grinding my teeth.

Both of us, for a bit. Or do you
want to fuck up your A levels?

Eff, please, just drop
the dark shit, yeah?

Effy, Effy, Eff, listen, all right?
OK? It's me.

OK? Me.

And this is me.

Jesus...I thought we were happy.

Too fucking happy.

Right, OK, what? So you want to end it?
Is that what you're trying to say?

No.

It's gonna happen.

Why are you head fucking me, Eff?

Cos I can't handle it.

Better fuck off then.

Where's Josie?

She's had a small breakdown.
I don't blame her.

I mean look...beanbags.

So, Frederick, how may I help you?

It's OK, I mean, I don't
actually think you can.

No, there's nothing
I cannot do, Frederick.

Nothing. I guarantee it.

All right.

OK.

So what do you do when
you can't tell anyone shit

cos it might really fuck things up

and you don't know what
to do or what's happening?

You just know that
something really, really...

...fucking bad is going down.

Just...

No.

I think...

I'm not sure...

I think you've got me there.

Just over there.

All right, Grandad?

You've gone bloody big!

Give me a hand up.

That Violet, she wants me
to witness her will.

- Think she's up for a shag.
- Grandad!

What? Get it when you can.

Who's floating your boat these days?

Not still chasing that Elizabeth one?

No, not chasing any more.

You snared her in the end then?

She snared me, Grandad.

Uh-oh! You'll never get
out of that headlock.

I just did.

Slam down! Hey, yes!

Reckon we need a time-out, eh?

Your mum's own miniature museum.

The worse she got, the more she made.

Mystifying.

How's your dad these days?

Better fix this young man a drink.

You gonna come and tell
your grandad what's wrong?

Grandad, when Mum was young,
did you know that she was ill then?

The days I spent thinking on that.

Maybe I did.

Maybe I didn't want to.

Memories play tricks.

So did hospital make her worse?

She did get worse in there, right?

It's the chicken or the egg.

You never know with the mind.

The old invisible universe.

We should have been the ones to look
after her, without anyone else butting in.

We could have if he hadn't
have just given up.

You can't blame Leo for
what happened to your mum.

It's his fucking fault, Grandad.

Anger will help you
survive for a while,

but then it'll eat you alive.

So...let it go.

Living in the past will only
fuck you up, Frederigo.

Pardon the Spanish.

Do what you can now.

Forget what wasn't done then.

This is me, whoever that is.

- So leave whoever a message.
- Fucking hell, Effy, pick up.

Gotta stay vibed to
the world, kid, alert!

I could be prizing your arse
out of your head right now.

As if I've got time for this!
I've got to tell someone something.

You're pretty fucked, aren't you,
mate, and so's your bike.

Fuck!

Freddie!

Freddie! Some bloke in the kitchen
hung Anthea's pans off his knob-ring

and I yanked 'em off
cos it ain't hygienic

but he screamed and I can't find
first aid or Effy anywhere!

Who the fuck set this up, anyway?

Eff! She only posted it
about two hours ago.

I am not mingling with goths.

What the fuck is that?

Goodbye?

Where the fuck are you going, Freds?

- Where is Effy?
- She ain't here, Kate.

Is the hall the new kitchen
for the cool kids, or something?

Panda, please don't...

Bonsoir, Stonem resid... Anthea!

Va bene! Va bene!

"Who are you?" JJ!

With the hair.

Party?

What's giving you that impression?

She hung up.

I am so leaving now.

Moi aussi.

Yeah, me too.

Effy, can you let me in, please?

Effy!

Effy, can you open
this fucking door?

Effy?

You didn't reply.

I didn't want to be on my own.

Effy, what the fuck is going on?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I shouted
at you as well.

Really taking the piss this time.

Yeah.

Freddie, I don't want them here.

I thought I did.
I thought that was me, but...

I don't know what is, but...

I know you're the only person
I can trust.

Effy, nothing bad
is going to happen.

I'm going to take care of you now.

All right? I promise.

I promise.

Effy, I want you to stay here.

OK?

Stay here for me, yeah?

Party's over. It's time to leave.

Get the fuck out now! Move!

Get out!

Here.

It's OK now.

It's probably nothing.
Just a fox or something.

- Jesus Christ!
- The one and only!

You threw me a break-out party,
man. I am fucking touched.

In the fucking head.
Cook, what are you playing at?

I'm Bristol's most wanted.
What's the problem?

You've gotta leave.

What the fuck are you
doing here anyway?

I couldn't hack being stuck with a
million fucking me's no more, all right?

Where is she anyways?

Get out.

Get out!

Freddie, get him out.

She looks like the fucking
chick from The Ring, Freds.

Wait in the shed.

What the fuck's up with her?

Nothing. No, everything's...

- Tits up.
- No, OK? Listen.

Cook, you're not coming
back here like this.

I've got my own shit to solve.

Please, just rest your
bony arse tight,

while I go and get us
some food, all right?

This is your home,
not Tesco's.

Your grandad phoned last night.
He's concerned, and so am I.

I'll give you the
money back for it.

With what?

If you want to fuck up your life, Freddie,
if that's really what you wanna do,

just don't bother coming back.

Fine.

D'you know what, Dad? You're just
fucking angry because I've got a life.

A life? You look like a dosser.

You act like an animal.

Who are you?

Your pride and fucking joy.

- If your mum could see this... - Well,
she can't, can she, thanks to you.

- I was trying to fucking help her.
- She fucking killed herself, Dad.

I had no choice, Freddie.

Yes, you did.

You could have done
something, but you didn't.

Rise and shine.

OK, we're gonna stop this.

Right, this has to stop now.

Can we go now?Where?

Out.

Your carriage awaits.

Why the fuck did you bring me here?

Just fresh air and that.

Look at it.

Good to get away, yeah?

Yeah, good to get away.

Remember, you two lovers,

back by seven with
my rig, and respect.

Hello! Mama's home, angel.

Holy shit!

Effy!

I totally fucking love you.

Now's the bit you say...

Don't move.

That one's JJ.

Their faces...

behind the skin...

The skin?

Between this world and the next...

Their teeth and their claws
coming out.

Trying to break through.

Did you drop
something in the cab?

Like a fart or something?

No, like a tab or something.

A tab with your face on it.

Here.

A hole that fits mine.

The moment I saw you,

I knew it'd be the closest
I'd get to being...close.

I didn't know what to
do with that feeling.

- Happiness.
- Listen, Effy.

You are closest...
I'm ever...

But they know now
and they're hungry.

Really fucking hungry.

Because, for as long as I know,
they've been chasing me.

And now they're ready, now they're
strong enough to break through.

And I can't fight them.

I used to be able to
when I was strong but...

You've made me weak.

And now I can't, I can't.

Effy, there's no-one fucking there.

- Effy!
- I can't!

- Effy!
- Let me go!

Effy, listen.
What d'you want me to do?

- They're ready now.
- Effy, stay here!

- They're coming. - I'll fight 'em.
Is that going to stop you?

I'll fucking fight them.

Fuck off!

Fuck off, you cunts,
I'll kill you all!

I have to go home now.

What?

Get me the fuck out of here,
Freddie, please.

Freddie!

Shit!

- Why the fuck did you bring me
here? - I didn't, I didn't know.

- Fuck off!
- Oi! Come on!

Get the fuck away now!

Effy!

Effy!

Freddie! What are
you doing here?

I've lost her.

Come on, let's find her.

Katie!

Katie!

Eff, come on.

Freddie!

Freddie!

It's OK.

Freddie, what's happened?
Is she all right?

It's OK.

Let's get her out of here.

Freddie, what a lovely surprise.

I didn't know where else to go.

And which of you
lovely girls is Elizabeth?

I'm Katie.

Lovely!

Sit down, Freds.

No Grandad.
I've got to stay with her.

It's fine. Sit down.

Now, why don't you take
her to the dining hall?

Where they do a
very nice cup of tea.

Come on, Eff.

Everything's all right.

Did what I could, Grandad.

I did everything.

I know you did, son.

But you need help.

You can't take this all on yourself.

I'm gonna have to, Grandad.
No-one cares. Nobody.

I know that's not true.

No, I don't think you do, actually.
I don't think you understand.

I do. You care and
that's what's killing you.

What use are you going to
be doing this to yourself?

I don't give a fuck.

I can't let this happen again.
I'm not gonna let this happen again.

Do you have any idea how hard your dad
fought to keep your mum in this world?

- He fought...
- No, he didn't.

He gave her up, Grandad,
he let her do it.

- No.
- Yeah.

He bottled it.

He fucked it up, Grandad,
we all fucked it up.

No, he did the best he could, and
that's what you're going to do.

You think the world
of this girl, eh?

I really love her, Grandad.

I can't manage without her.

She's like nothing...

I'm not ready to lose her yet.

Do what you have to do.

Just for a bit.

She needs help.

Live to fight another day, eh?

Freddie!

Effy won't come out of the toilet.

What? You've left her alone?

No, no, no...

No, no, no...

Effy, Effy...

Help! Someone help!

Go on.

Go...

Away.

Before she hit the
world, she was this...

Fire, heating every bit of me.

It was, like, so intense, it burned.

I think I knew, even then, that
she was going to be remarkable.

And then...

When I held her for
the first time...

Man, it was like holding this...

Beautiful bomb.

The energy was...you know.

Even then, it scared me.

So I think I'm prepared for this.

Whatever this is.

She's going to need us.

To help rebuild her again.

She's going to need you.

There's no future without her.

Fuck the future.

There's nothing any more.

There's nothing but now, mate.

What have I done?
What did I do?

You went to the end of
the fucking earth, man.

The end of the fucking earth.

You're gonna have to go
further now, mate.

For her.

For you.

For me.

The radius of the event horizon
of a non-rotating black hole is?

The Schwarzschild radius.

Beyond that, nothing
can escape, nothing.

Alien life form defined
as Lara Lloyd.

The most beautiful girl in this
or any known universe.

If you don't ask her out in
the next ten seconds, I will.

I am a psycho.

Lara Lloyd, would you like
to go out with me tonight?
