[♪ soft music playing]

[traffic noises]

[dog barking]

[barks]

[Eddie] These people…

[sniffles]

…carrying on without a care in the world.

[lighter clicks]

Like they're better than everyone else.

Wearing clothes that cost more than a month's rent.

Drinking their posh coffee

and laughing about how much fun it was at the opera last night.

Living in a fucking bubble.

[man] Can't wait to see you.

[Eddie] No idea what the real world is.

[man] Yeah, you too.

[Eddie] I don't have the choices they have.

I do what I do to survive.

[♪ tense music plays]

Hey! Stop!

Stop him!

He's got my bag!

[passerby] Oi! Watch it!

Wait! Stop! He's got my bag!

-[car horn blares] -[thud]

There was nothing I could do, he just ran out.

He just ran out.

Oh, my God.

Somebody call an ambulance!

[bystander] We need an ambulance here, there's been an accident.

[sighs]

[♪ tense music intensifies]

[panting]

[siren wailing in distance]

[beeping noise]

Mrs. Peterson, how lovely to see you again.

D'you know me?

Of course I know you.

Who am I?

Who am I?

I don't understand. Are you okay?

No. I'm not.

Where's the bog?

-The what? -The bog. The shitter.

The fucking toilet!

It's over there.

What are you looking at?

[gasps]

What the fuck is happening to me?

Fuck.

[phone rings]

[ringing continues]

Hello?

[Sasha] Mum, where are you?

Who's this?

[Sasha] Beyoncé! Who do you think?

I was waiting outside school for ages.

You were supposed to pick me up after music practice, remember?

Mum? Are you there?

Yeah, I'm here.

[Sasha] I got fed up of waiting, so I went to a friend's.

Can you pick me up?

I don't think I…

[Sasha] My battery's going. I gotta go.

I'll text you the address.

Hurry up!

[breathing] heavily]

Oh, my God.

Have you got a fag?

[driver] I don't smoke.

I really need a cigarette.

[driver] Sorry, not in my cab.

[maître d'] Mrs. Peterson, how lovely to see you again.

[♪ tense music playing]

About bloody time.

Where's the car?

I dunno.

Someone wanna tell me where we're going or wait till Christmas?

55 Chepstow Gardens.

[birds chirping]

Thought you said you didn't know where the car was?

I don't belong here.

Mum, what's wrong?

I'm not your mother.

Jesus.

Come on.

You know you can't have alcohol with your pills.

If Dad finds out, he'll flip his lid… again.

[Margaret] Shit.

This must be worth millions.

[scoffs] I'll make some coffee.

[exhales]

How many pills did you take this morning?

Pills?

I don't remember.

Here.

Thanks.

-[tire screeching] -[car crash noises]

[Sasha, muffled] Does it hurt?

[normal voice] Your eye?

[driver] There was nothing I could do, he just run out.

Oh, my God.

There was an accident.

It was my fault.

It's not your fault.

I didn't see it coming. I could've stopped it.

Maybe you should have a lie down.

Yeah. I think you're right.

[♪ unsettling music plays]

Hmm.

[Eddie's voice] September 14th.

Woke up late.

Got a call from Uncle Harold.

It was good to speak to him again.

[Margaret and Eddie] He makes me laugh.

[Margaret] Almost forgot how to laugh.

17th of September.

Made sure I missed Sasha at breakfast.

Why should I ruin her day too?

I don't deserve her.

David came home late again last night.

Drunk and reeking of sex.

I can't blame him, he's a man after all.

I wish someone would take the pain away and make it better, like before.

We used to be happy, didn't we?

What happened to us?

When did life become so fucking numb?

[sighs]

[♪ soft music playing]

[child breathing shakily]

[father screaming] Where is that little shit?

[mother] Leave him, he's just a kid!

-[father] Get out of my way! -[mother] Jack!

[footsteps running]

[father] How many times I gotta tell him to keep away from my stuff?

[mother] He was playing.

[father] He needs to be taught a lesson.

[mother] If you drank less and spent more time--

[father] Shut up! He's not in his room. Where is he?

[mother] Jack! Jack, please!

[father] Eddie?

There's no use hiding, son.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Eddie?

[thunder rumbling]

[♪ dramatic instrumental music playing]

-Mum? Mum. -[gasps]

[Sasha] Argh!

I'm really sorry.

You're just as bad as him.

[Margaret] Sasha!

Sasha.

[♪ loud rock music playing on radio]

Sasha?

I'm sorry.

Can I come in?

Sasha?

Leave me alone.

[♪ rock music stops]

You startled me, I didn't realize it was you.

Sasha, please…

Let me make it up to you, what can I do?

D'you want pizza?

Chocolate?

Ice cream?

I'll do anything.

Anything?

[♪ slow instrumental music plays]

[line ringing]

[muffled shouting]

[Sasha] I don't know what to do.

[counsellor] Just take your time.

Okay, right. Hold still, shut your eye.

[Sasha] My dad…

he…

How's it look?

Yeah, it's great.

[Sasha] …he hurts my mum.

[muffled shouting continues]

The shouting…

[Margaret] Get away from me!

[Sasha] I hear it every night.

-[blows] -[giggles]

[Sasha] I'm stuck in the middle of it.

I don't know what to do.

[David] Fuck you!

Can I see?

[Margaret] No, I'm not done yet.

Open your mouth a bit.

[Sasha] You have to help me.

[Margaret] There we go.

Beautiful.

[Sasha] All I want is a normal family.

Show me.

[Sasha] Mum loves me.

[Margaret laughs]

I look like a clown. [chuckles]

[Sasha] Deep down inside I know she loves me.

Yeah, it's not great.

Here, let's wipe it off. [laughs]

Love you, Mum.

I love you too.

-[door closes] -[Margaret gasps]

[♪ tense music plays]

You still up then?

Not on my account I hope?

I had a…

work thing.

[bottle opener clatters]

What?

No snidey remarks? That makes a change.

[water runs]

How was your day?

You're still upset, I get it.

Come on, you're acting like a child.

I know you.

I've seen you before.

What you talking about?

My dad.

He was the same.

Used to brush everything under the carpet.

Pretend like it never happened.

Maybe because he couldn't deal with the truth of what he was.

Looks like I haven't been the only one drinking.

I'm going to bed.

No, Maggie, wait.

-I don't wanna fight. -Neither do I.

You just…

you push me… sometimes.

-You always did know how to do that. -Don't touch me.

You used to like me touching you.

Remember?

You fucking touch me again and you'll be pissing blood for weeks.

I'll touch you whenever I want! Hear me?

You sanctimonious bitch!

[Sasha] Dad!

Stop! Let her go!

Go to your room.

Or what? You gonna hit me too?

-Mum deserves a break. -[Margaret] Sasha.

Go on. Do it.

I fucking dare you!

Who do you think you're talking to?

-I'm your father, you little… -No!

[Margaret] Hey! Stop him!

[car horn blares]

[passerby] Jesus!

That car nearly run you over.

Are you all right?

I will be.

[Eddie] Sometimes it feels like we're trapped.

And there's nothing we can do.

Stuck playing the same part 'cos we've done it so long.

But then something happens that wakes us up.

Makes us realize we can change our life.

[♪ slow instrumental music playing]

That we don't have to be that person anymore.

We can write our own destiny.

About bloody time.

Where's the…

Mum, what's going on?

We're going to Grandma's.
