BACKGROUND CHATTER

What happened?

I, I, I, I don't really know.

Who called the ambulance?

Uh, a neighbour.

Well, how did they get into the house?

I can't remember.

I mean, when you have a near death experience,

you can't recall.

You didn't have a near death experience.

Well, now, that... that's not what the doctor said.

Uh, did my father have a near death experience?

Well, he had a minor heart attack.

Yeah. We're looking at some

blood thinners and possibly a stent.

A stent? Oh, thank God it's not serious.

Do you know what could have caused it?

Well, it could have been anything, you know,

stress, excitement, physical exertion.

Physical exertion.

What's that on his neck?

Looks like a lesion.

Looks like a hickey.

HANDCUFFS RATTLING GASPS

Are they handcuffs?

What? No. Jesus. Dad!

DOCTOR: I'll give you all some privacy.

DARYL: Oh, sorry. Another visitor.

Um...

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Hey, Daryl. Hey.

How's the patient?

Oh, I had a near death experience.

He didn't. Oh, you're feeling better now?

Yeah, thanks. Here, Daryl, take a seat.

Oh, no, I'm not gonna stay. We want you to stay.

I thought it was just immediate family.

Daryl is immediate family.

I... I can wait out in the... No.

Tom's glad you're here. Aren't you, Tom?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Yeah. Morning.

I think, you know,

having a near death experience

does make you reflect on what matters,

and nothing matters more...

Can I just say something?

I know the last time we were all together,

things got a bit heated.

Obviously, this is an emotional situation,

and there's a lot of feelings,

and maybe some judgements

about why someone might have kept a secret

like this for so long.

Oh, I don't think we need to get into that now.

No, exactly.

We've moved on.

Well, I was just going to say that whatever about the past,

the important thing is that we are a family,

and Daryl is...

A part of our family.

And I'm glad he's here.

Me too.

Me too. Uh, me too.

So... who gave you the hickey?

UPTEMPO MUSIC

DIGITAL VOICE: Please present your card.

Hey.

Oh, hi.

I'm really glad you got to spend time

with Daryl yesterday.

I know what happened wasn't, um, ideal.

It's fine. Worked out for the best.

Well, good.

DRINK POURING

I was actually thinking,

given I've had a bit more time to understand him,

it might help if maybe I organise a lunch

or... a dinner...

so you guys can just relax and hang out

without the pressure to be like mother and son, you know.

I just want to be a support.

Oh, thanks.

We're going to Wexford today.

Wexford?

You and Daryl? Yeah.

Just want to show him where he was born.

Right.

You've never shown me where I was born.

You were born in Holles Street.

You pass it every day of the week.

No, I know. It's just... Do you want me to come?

I'm supposed to be working, but...

No.

There's no need.

Besides, I think he probably just wants me to himself.

PLAYFUL MUSIC

I just think we could consider it.

We're six months off having a deposit for a house.

If we move out and start paying rent,

it'll be another two, maybe three years.

Really not that long.

My mum is letting us stay there for free.

And she's great with the baby. She's like a baby whisperer.

Mmm-hmm.

And honestly, I don't think we could have coped without her.

Okay. But if we were to...

We're not paying rent, Caroline,

it doesn't make sense.

Do you think maybe you're just deflecting?

What do you mean?

Well, you've just found out you've a half-brother.

We don't know he's my half-brother.

Well, everyone in there thinks he is.

Everyone in there's an idiot.

We only have his and Shiv's word,

and frankly, I need a bit more reassurance.

Where are you gonna get that?

So, Daryl, how do we know you are who you say you are?

I'm sorry? Where's the evidence?

Caroline. Rude. Uh, no, it's okay.

Uh, Shiv asked the same thing.

I have a birth cert. I'm happy to show you.

Yeah, it's just, that's only a piece of paper, really.

It'd be pretty easy to forge.

Yeah, uh, Caroline, your mother's told you.

Mum told us she had a child that she gave up for adoption,

but there's no proof

that Daryl is that child. How would he have known?

There's this thing called the internet, Ant.

I mean, that's how you found Shiv.

You followed her to a meeting,

which, if you ask me, is pretty dodgy.

Yeah. Okay. I... I can see where you're coming from.

And actually, Shiv had an ex-boyfriend

who went to Australia.

Do you know him? No.

Weird coincidence though, no?

Wha.. .people go to Australia.

Do they? I think they do. Yeah.

But how do we know you didn't, say,

bump into him in a bar, get chatting,

hear about this fucked up Dublin family, do some Googling

and then boom, discover there's an adoption?

That sounds very convoluted.

Not for a professional swindler.

Caroline, stop it.

O... oh, okay.

How... how can I prove to you I am who I say I am?

DNA test.

Sure. If that'll make you feel better.

Now.

Now?

We're in a hospital.

Well... do they do that kind of thing?

We can pop down to my department,

won't take a sec. She actually works here.

Just a quick blood test.

Well, you know, I'm...

I'm not actually that great with needles.

Ah. So, I might need

to work myself up to it.

I'm really good at taking blood.

PLAYFUL MUSIC

BERNIE: Where are you going? Back in a sec.

We need to hit the road

if we're going to get to Wexford.

Ah, okay, well, maybe we should...

Get the car. He'll meet you out front in 10.

BERNIE: Okay. Well, hang on. What are you...

Can't talk now, Shiv. Sorry.

I'm glad they're bonding.

HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING

Here you go. Thanks.

Everyone's gone.

Yeah, Ant went to work and, um,

Caroline and Daryl are doing a DNA test.

A DNA test?

Can I talk to you? No, I should go rescue him.

No, it's important.

When... when I was dying...

You weren't dying. Well...

When my heart stopped.

I think you're being a little melodramatic.

I saw something.

What?

A vision.

A vision of love.

A vision of... love?

Yeah. It felt powerful.

Felt like an epiphany.

The most important thing in my life just...

flashing before my eyes.

Okay.

Mina. Mina?

Mina's the most important thing in your life?

Well, yeah, after yous. Obviously.

She was there surrounded by light.

It, it, it was almost spiritual.

Well... And then I heard a voice.

Your voice.

My voice? Clear as a bell.

What did... what did I say?

You told me I had to marry Mina.

What? You said I had to ask her now.

But you've just got divorced.

You said, I had to be honest.

That's how I knew it was you.

It's one of the things I most admire about you, Shiv.

Your honesty.

Really? Mm.

Thanks, Dad.

WHIMSICAL MUSIC

Um, and then the voice said...

What kind of painkillers do they have you on here?

Make a fist.

Got it.

Reckon you'd be pretty good at this. Huh.

Really? Do you reckon?

Must be weird having such a demanding job like this

then suddenly and being alone all day with the baby.

Well, I'm rarely alone with him, so...

Yeah. Great that Rory's such a hands-on dad.

Especially considering he's not the biological father.

What a dickhead, eh?

Who? The baby's dad.

It makes me sick.

All these blokes, just like my old man,

just blowing off their responsibilities.

We broke up before he knew I was pregnant.

Yeah. But how did he react when you told him?

I didn't.

You didn't tell your ex that he has a kid?

He's not really father material.

Don't you think your son's gonna want to know who his dad is?

Okay, we're all done here.

Hm. Thanks.

Didn't feel a thing.

Let's hope your kid won't either, eh?

MELANCHOLIC MUSIC

DOOR CLOSES

I don't even get a say in any of this?

It's coming from upstairs, Eddie.

You asked to see me? Ant...

Eddie and I have been having a little chit chat.

And we have some good news.

You're going to take over all of Eddie's current properties.

What? All of them?

Eddie's our most experienced agent,

he should be free to nurture new business.

So, do you think you can handle it?

Yes. Yeah.

I don't think he's ready. I think he's ready.

I think I'm ready.

Oh, you'll take all the commission.

What?! Hang on a second.

RAIN PATTERING

Really? Yep.

This is where you stayed? Yep.

That's where I spent the last four months of my pregnancy.

I must have walked up and down this road

about a hundred times a day.

I never saw anyone.

Or if they did, they just stared at my belly.

Who owned it?

A woman called Carmel O'Leary.

She was a friend of my mother's. A teacher.

My father paid her for board.

Right. Was she...

nice to you?

She was fine.

For a woman who thought I was a little slut.

Come on. I'll show you the nice bit.

SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES

What do you think they're doing in Wexford?

Just visiting a random hospital.

I mean, is that even interesting for Daryl?

Like, would you be desperate to visit

the hospital you were born in?

I was born in a butcher's.

Gav wants to take me for lunch.

That's nice, isn't it?

I wouldn't mind, but Gav's really letting himself go

since we split.

Double chin, pot belly.

It's hard to look at.

I'll tell him we have another meeting.

You know, Daryl said something interesting the other day.

Oh yeah? Yeah... just...

around the idea about being an addict

for the rest of your life, and...

if that's always true

or if addiction could be like a phase, you know,

or like an extreme response to a trauma, say...

like when Carl died...

you know, it's there for a while, but...

eventually goes away.

Well, that's a load of absolute bollocks.

Yeah, no, I know.

I was just... Addiction is a phase?

Tell that to the lies, the manipulations,

the blow jobs and blackouts.

You're not buying that, are you? No.

PLAYFUL MUSIC No, of course not.

BIRDS SINGING

So, what actually happened with you and my dad?

Well... we met at a gig.

Wow. Shocker. LAUGHTER

Nige was on stage with his electric guitar

and second I saw him,

I just got weak.

Weak?

He was very good looking. Oh, right.

We got talking after the gig, and, oh, I don't know,

we just had this chemistry.

I mean, he had girls throwing their knickers at him

every night of the week,

but for some reason he liked me.

We weren't together that long. It was only six months or so.

But when I say together,

I mean really together.

Every moment.

So, you guys were in love?

Mm. Yeah. Hm.

He asked me to come travelling to Asia with the band.

I had my ticket bought and everything,

and my parents were raging.

I didn't care.

I was going to see the world

with the man I loved. I mean...

what could be better than that?

STREAM BABBLING NEARBY

And then I found out I was pregnant.

He was very upfront about it, your dad,

I'll give him that.

Just said it straight up.

He didn't want to be a father.

He was gonna be a rock star.

He was almost nice about it.

So, he left for Asia and I came down here.

And that was that.

Did he come back and visit?

Never saw him again.

Nobody came to visit me down here anyway.

What, not even your folks?

They just wanted me to get the baby out,

and pretend the whole thing never happened.

No, for those four months,

the only person I had to talk to was you.

And I did.

Every morning, and every evening on our little walk up and down,

I'd be saying to you, "Don't you worry,

we're not on our own.

We'll get through this,

PIGEON COOING

we'll get through this together."

EXHALES HEAVILY

Actually... SOFT MUSIC

There was one person who came to visit.

Who? Tom.

He didn't know I was pregnant at first,

but when he found out,

he'd get the bus down from Dublin every Saturday.

And we'd hitch into town...

for an ice cream,

and he'd make me laugh.

And for a few hours every week

I'd feel like the kind of girl

who might be worth something again.

SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES
