KEYS UNLOCK DOOR

It's not forever.

Night, night.

Are you ever going to tell me?

Tell you what?

Do you think I'm stupid?
What's happened with Dad?

Why are we here?
Just answer me.

OK.

It's my dad.

OK.
Do you want to tell me about him?

He's dead.



Hi.

You were at the fun fair!
You're crazy too?

No, my dad died.

Oh. Snap.

'Typical. Guy meets girl.
Girl also has a dead dad.

'Guy stops girl jumping off roof.

'Guy can't stop thinking about girl,
but now she knows so much about him

'she could destroy everything.

'Like I said, typical.'

MUSIC: 'Too Late Now'
by Wet Leg

'Welwyn Garden City is always
perfect if you can't sleep,

'because it feels like a dream
even when you're awake.



'Not the fun dreams
where you can fly

'and everything
tastes of strawberries.

'No, I mean the ones
where the bus doesn't turn up

'and streets end
where they started.

'The rubbish ones.'

Do you want any help unpacking?

My stuff or this whole
fucking nightmare?

DOOR BUZZER

I'll get Alix.

Can't face him?

Hey, love.

How are you?

You'll always be a daughter to me.

You lied to me, both of you.

You've let me think
for my whole life...

I didn't know about Lim. Not always.

Lim?

Is Alix ready?
Lim what? Tell me.

She won't.

It's Lim Wei.

Daddy!
Hey.

I'll bring her back Sunday evening.

You ready for school?
Yeah.

HE YAWNS

Er, Jonny?

What?

Louis' telling us
a really interesting story.

Rude.

You OK?
Have you been sleeping since...

Yeah. No, I feel great.
Sorry, go on, Lou.

It's not really a story. Gareth...

Mate, please. Call him Dad.

It's so weird.

Gareth is going away this weekend.

Some old person's festival
like trance, or...

No, you can't stay at mine

cos you don't like being
in your massive house by yourself.

Actually, Gareth said why don't
I have some people over?

Thinks I'm socially awkward.
Am I socially awkward?

Jonny.

Hi.

Er... Mei, this-this is Neve

and this is Louis,
who is not socially awkward.

HE SIGHS

You new in WGC?

Oh, no, I'm from here,
just moved around a lot

and went away for school.

So Louis' party.

It's not a party.
You've not given us much time.

For what?
Party pills, Lou.

You know it is possible to have
a night out without being dosed?

It may be possible,
but it's not desirable.

I'll message Pineapples.

♪ We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party! ♪

It's not a party.

Oh, OK, OK. It's most definitely
a party. It's definitely not.

I'll catch you later.

Yeah, see you.

Do you want me
to sort us out or not, idiot?

Neve, OK if I get a picture?
It's for a college tweet?

Oh, and Mei?

What about me?
Er, why aren't I in the picture?

I can't believe they made us
take that picture.

It's like, "Look, Parkway College,
we're so diverse." I mean...

I think it's pretty obvious why
they chose you. You look amazing.

So Louis' party.

It really isn't a party.

Party at Louis' this weekend!
Open house!

FFS, Neve.
What?

What, you can invite Zia.
Impress her with your big...

CLICKS TONGUE
..pool.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a great idea.

Oh, look, there she is.

Oh, she's coming, she's coming.

Oh, she's going,
she's going, she's gone. Oh!

Zia.

Hi.

Erm, what you doing tonight?

Why?

Erm, I've, er,
I-I-I've got a free house.

Oh. Well, I'm out tonight.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow night.
Always getting them mixed up.

Er...

Er, nothing.

Great.

Would you like to come around?

It's a party.

So, how do you two know each other?

Counselling.
Just from around town.

I meant the counselling, yeah.

You do counselling together?
Er, no.

Yeah, I think one person's already
a stretch for Mr Horrocks.

Media Studies Horrocks?
Yeah.

He's nice,
but you wouldn't want him to try

and talk you down off a ledge.
No!

AS HORROCKS: Don't jump! Let's
analyse the end of Donnie Darko.

CHUCKLING

Shit!

SHE GROANS My phone!

Where is it?
Must have left it in English.

Hey, I'll come with you.
Ah, cool.

That wasn't funny.
They don't know that I'm not OK.

I don't want them to know.

'Time for a relaxing 2am scroll
through social media.

'I just need to get
outside of my head!

HE SIGHS

Mum's like,
"Where does all your money go?"

And Dad's like, "It can't be
clothes, look at how she dresses!"

So I can't get a new one

until my contract's up,
which is in, like, a fucking decade!

I mean, it's only a phone.

Only a phone, Jonny.

Should I get rid of something
you need and say,

"Oh, it's only a kidney?"
Or, "It's only oxygen?"

Does Pineapples live here?

Have a guess. He doesn't like people
coming to the house.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just, er, we arranged to meet,
but my phone's lost, so I wasn't...

Do you know where he is?

Oh, what am I, his mum?
No.

Are you?

No!

Look, I don't know where he is.

Right.

Could I get his email?

Yeah. Yeah, all right, yeah.

Oh, good.
OK.

Ready?

So it's "Drugs-underscore-direct@
WelwynGardenCitydealer..."

All one word.
"..dot com."

I'm sorry to have troubled you,
Mrs... Miss Pineapples?

Well, she seemed nice.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Excuse me.

Sorry.
Do I know you?

I don't know. Do you?

CHUCKLING: Sorry, no.
I thought you were someone else.

SHE CHUCKLES

Well, come on, then,
where's the party?

All right.

Hey, out the way!

LAUGHTER

Oi, oi, Lou-Lou.

Oh. Oh, what do you think?

I'm, er, a bit worried
it might look a bit shit,

you know, when Zia gets here?

Nah, it looks great, Lou.
Some people have actually turned up.

Think I should, you know,
talk to them? Like a host?

No.

Don't want to ruin whatever cred
this is gonna give you.

Hey, open house, right?
Hey, Mei.

Yes, not just me with these idiots.

Hi.

So, what was private school like?

It was just school, but in a really
old building and without any boys.

And did you have, like,
Gryffindor and shit like that?

Sort of.

Insane! So why didn't you
stay there for A-levels?

My dad died.

Oh, shit. I'm-I'm really sorry.

Wait. You know that
Jonny's dad's dead too?

THEY LAUGH

Oh, for fuck's sake, Neve, you
shouldn't swim in loose clothing.

Uh, hi?

Oh, hi.

Are we, like, really early?

No, you're not.

Do you want me to go?

No. No. Why would I?

So, do you have a lot of parties?

Yeah I-I do.
I don't invite many people.

Keep it quite VIP.

Hey, Regan has, er, Jonny
tried to get off with you yet?

No, and I've been here ages.

SHE CHUCKLES

How you doing?

Yeah, good. Haven't lost a parent
for like a week now, so...

Is anyone going anywhere after here?

Don't think so.

We-We should play a game.
Er, Truth Or Dare?

What are we, 12?

I Love Truth Or Dare.

LAUGHTER

Truth Or Dare.

Truth.

How many guys have you slept with?

One.

Ooh, two.

One and a half.

It didn't quite, erm... go in.

LAUGHTER

Louis, Louis, Louis, come on.
All right, a dare. A dare.

Dare you to kiss someone.

I mean, you suggested it.

Ooh!

LAUGHTER

Jonny's turn!
SHE CHANTS: Jonny, Jonny.

Erm... dare.

Come on, I've had enough dares.

You could have taken
that off ages ago.

Why don't we all do a truth?
Like, what's your biggest secret?

OK, erm, me.

Erm... sometimes when I'm
doing stuff in the mirror,

I tap it to try and add a filter.

CHUCKLING

Neve?

Yeah, I've got nothing.

You must have something.
A secret crush?

Mm, no. Nothing like that.

I've seen Louis' dick,
years ago at the lake.

Oh, wait, when that thing stung it?
Yeah!

Yeah, that actually
really hurt, actually.

LAUGHTER

Jonny.

Er, I don't know.

I know what his biggest secret is.

What is it?

Should I tell them?

If you want.

But I haven't told you mine yet.

Yes, come on!
All right.

I drove here.

What?

You are shitting me.

In Canada, everyone
drives without a licence.

Taught myself. Thanks, YouTube.

We could go literally anywhere.
A club?

West One. Yes!

I bet we could score there.

Yeah, or we could just stay here?

Yeah, I mean, we are at a party.

ENGINE TURNS OVER

I mean, the party will always
be here when we get back.

Yeah. Can I?

Louis.

You don't drink?

No, sorry. I'm a bit boring.

No, pissed boys
breathing too hard on your neck

telling you the same thing they
told you ten minutes ago is boring.

You're not.

Thanks for inviting me

It was a bit shit.

I only really had it

Ohh!

What are you going to do?

About what?

About this.

Oh. Nothing.

Cos I've been thinking...

A, Gareth thinks
I don't know how to have fun.

Excuse me!

And B, I had the best fucking night
of my whole entire life, ever.

I got with Zia.
What?

I mean, it probably would have been
the best night of my life

if Mei hadn't
tried to kill that bloke.

What?!
Well, she saved me.

Can someone please explain to me
what happened?

Oh, Louis' tripping.

And he also thinks
something happened with Zia, so...

Why? What happened with Zia?

Well, what's first base?

Fingering.
Consent.

Well, me and Zia kissed.

Bit of tongues,
bit of teeth collision.

Ew! The worst!

And I'm pretty sure at one point
she was stoking my...

And she didn't just, like,

Er, Louis, why's it coming
from your room?

Louis!

I don't...
I don't know how that got there.

Oh, shit! Shit!

It wasn't me.

Wait, Pineapples. Mate.

Let's talk out here.

It's a nice gaff.

It's interesting seeing
where other people live, innit?

Are you all right talking
to a fucking loser piece of shit?

What? You're doing too much if you
can't remember what you called me.

Your message.

This... I didn't say this,
this wasn't me.

Do you ever go down to Cornwall?

I love Cornwall.

You ever been to the Eden Project?

Erm, I've seen pictures.

Oh, you've gotta go.

See, they've brought like all these
plants and trees and stuff

from everywhere on the planet and,
like, everything's working together.

That little bit of moss

giving off them nutrients
that feed into that bush's leaves

that become part of that tree's...

Whatever. It's clever.

And what is totally bat shit
is if that little bit of moss

stops doing its thing...

..paying what it owes,
well, then the rest...

..goes to shit.

Am I the moss?
Yeah.

Yeah, you are.

Get my money.

How much trouble

Mei, stop this.

I don't know who you are any more.
Neither do I.

Thanks to you.

'Who is it?'

I'm, erm... I need to find out
who lives here.

Hello?
DOOR OPENS

I can see you.

We've had
enough of your lot around here.

All the graffiti, the mess.

What are you on about?
I'm a grade-A student.

I'm on a college tweet.

Piss off!

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi. You might remember
we bumped into each other.

This is gonna sound weird, but...

Look, I know who you are.

You do?

You look just like your mum.

You knew about me?
Yeah, of course.

I mean, I didn't know
much about you or Jing's life.

THEY CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY

Hi! This is so weird.

I thought I'd know what to say.

I can't talk now.
That's OK.

I should have
tried to contact you before coming.

I have a family.
I saw.

Facebook.

I have two brothers.
Did I get that right?

I can't do this.

Please don't come here.

Don't message me,
don't contact my family.

Don't go searching
through my life online.

Just stay away.

'..for a whole night.'

Mum, can I ask you...?

There's this girl at college.

She lost her dad pretty recently,
I think,

but, yeah, I mean, she's seeing
the college counsellor, too, and...

Well, I was wondering if I might
invite her around sometime?

You know, if that's OK?

Yeah, she sounds nice.

Yeah, no... Yeah, she is.

That's brilliant, love.
Yes, do. Any time.

Are you OK, Mum?

Yeah. Gotta be.

Gotta keep this place going,
keep us all going.

All right? Seen Mei?

What's up?

I'm telling you it was her.

Louis' party,
I was talking about Pineapples.

She was there
when my phone went missing.

She's the link, Jonny.

The wiggly line between the dots.
You follow them, you get her.

Holding a broken bottle
to some guy's neck.

Oh, that's just coincidence.

Hi, Zia.

Hi.

See? Do you believe me now?

Hi.

Did you take my phone?

Just a yes or no.

No.

Ah, she's going to say that.

Do you think I did? Jonny?

I don't know.
You're lying.

I'm not.

You found it, then?

You know I did
because you put it in Louis' bag.

I'm sorry you think it was me.

Oh, shit!

I was nice to you
and now you're screwing with me.

Sending messages
saying things that I haven't said.

How are you doing this?

Just standing there
like some lying fucking liar.

Please don't.

You were wrong.

And I like her.

Please?

Mei? Are you OK?

The reason I didn't tell you...

..and the reason
I didn't stay with him,

it wasn't what he wanted.

MEI SNIFFS

He didn't say it, I just knew.

That's why I lied.

You're wrong.

You're so, so wrong. Again.

He never forgot about me and
he never stopped thinking about me.

He said he hoped I'd find him
one day and I have.
