S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Katie trips Candy from behind; Candy gets up, pushes Katie]

CCandy

Who the fuck do you think you are?

[Katie punches Candy in the nose; Candy falls to the ground again]

I'm Katie fucking Fitch! Who the fuck are you?

So what's it like?

What's what like?

Love.

Great. It's really lovely.

That sounded convincing.

It's fine. Nothing's ever perfect, you know?

I thought it could be. I wanted the perfect boyfriend, perfect marriage, perfect everything.

What's changed?

Me. I don't know who I am any more.

I thought you were Katie fucking Fitch.

TLT. Love

What would Michael say?

Pardon?

TLT. Love

[motions to his Michael Jackson poster] Michael. What would he say?

I'm... bad?

TLT. Love

Yes. And what else?

Beat it?

TLT. Love

No. He'd say "gotta be startin' somethin'". Okay? [silence] Don't you think you should be leaving?

Right now? [Mr. Love responds in the affirmative; Freddie leaves.]

Okay. So what do you do when you can't take anyone's shit because I might really fuck things up and you don't know what to do or what's happening you just know that something really fucking bad is going down.

TLT. Love

Just... [turns to his Michael Jackson poster and stares at it for a while before turning back to Freddie] No. I think, and I'm not sure... I think you've got me there.

I totally fucking love you. Nows the bit you say...

Don't move.

[Freddie lays down next to Effy and points at the clowds]

That one's JJ.

Their faces... Behind the skin.

The skin?

Between this world and the next. Their teeth and their claws comming 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 the closest I'm ever—

But they know now! And they're hungry. Really fucking hungry. Because for as long as I've known, 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 looks to the left in panic]

Effy there's no one fucking there! Effy!

I can't! Let me go!

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

They're ready now!

Effy, stay here!

They're comming!

I'll fight them! Is that going to stop you? I'll fucking fight them!

[Freddie runs to fight Effys mental ghosts]

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

You're no good for me, Cook. You never were.

CCook

If this was us meeting for the first time, I'd do it all again. Everything. The fucks, the fuck ups, everything. I'd do it all again.

What's that supposed to mean?

CCook

It means I still love you.

Piss off.

Afternoon.

How's the real world?

Fine... well, I don't know actually. Me and Emily, we're all... since... you know... the... and I don't know what we're doing... if we're OK, or if we're about to break up. Sometimes I think she can read my mind. I seriously do. I mean is that... normal? Is that what you... Eff?

You think you're going mad, so you came to see me to see what a mad person looks like.

No. No! No! [beat] Yes.

Listen to me very carefully, Naomi: you need to get a message to the Dog Lord of Azerbaijan. He's got my toilet ticket.

[Effy and Naomi pause, and then burst out laughing]

Oh, God, what are they giving you... and can I have some?

This whole thing with this girl, Sophia. Why don't you just imagine it never happened?

But it did.

Yeah, but if you tried to think like you didn't...

But, Am I missing something? You can't change what's already happened. I wish you could. But... you just can't.

What are you doing here?

I want an explanation.

Freddie!

Do you know what you've done to me? You're dumping me for no reason at all.

I have reasons.

Well if the urge to tell me any of them occurs then please let me know. Or did John steal your soul as well as your past?

Tea and biscuits?

Mum!

The night before you dumped me you told me that you loved me.

I know.

So look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me now.

Don't do that! I went crazy when I was with you. I can't let that happen again. Love is not supposed to do that. You made me go mad.

You making me mad now, Effy. And that's exactly what love's supposed to do.

[Cook kicks out Arcia, his one-night stand]

CCook

I never clocked that she looked like Eff, I swear.

For Christ's sakes, stop being a tit. Freddie...something's up.

CCook

Look, Karen. I've asked around. There's no sign of Fred's. He's legged it. That's all there is.

You owe him, Cook. When you ran off last year, who came looking for you?

CCook

That's only because I took his girl with me.

[hits Cook in the face] You stupid bastards!!! What is wrong with you all?

CCook

Fuck.

You find him! You fucking find my brother.

CCook

Karen, I'm sorry. I miss him too.

No, you don't. Nobody loves him like I do, not even that crazy bitch Effy. He's all I've got. God knows he's all you've got. [hands Cook a notebook] Read that and tell me there's nothing wrong. I'll give you a blowjob every day for a year, if that's all you care about. [walks away]

CCook

You've got me wrong, Karen.

Show me. [keeps walking away]

[Naomi is confronting Emily]

[steadily breaking down in tears; Emily starts to cry as well] I loved you from the first time I saw you. I think I was 12. It took me 3 years to pluck up the courage to speak to you and I was so scared of the way I felt, you know, loving a girl. I learned how to become a sarcastic bitch just to make it feel normal. I screwed guys to make it go away but it didn't work. When we got together, it scared the shit out of me because you were the one person who could ruin my life. I pushed you away. I made you think things were your fault but really, I was just terrified of pain. I screwed that girl, Sophia, to kind of spite you for having that hold on me and I'm a total fucking coward because [reaches into her bag] I got [pulls out tickets] these, these tickets to Goa for us 3 months ago but I... I couldn't stand it. I didn't want to be a slave to the way I feel about you. Can you understand? You were trying to punish me back and it's horrible. It's so horrible because, really, I'd die for you. I love you. I love you so much it's killing me.

[Beat. Emily then kisses and hugs Naomi.]

[Cook has discovered John Foster has killed Freddie. Dramatic music plays]

CCook

I don't think you know what I am, mate.

JFJohn Foster

I think I do. You're nothing. [Cook nods sarcastically] You don't deserve that girl. And you know... I do.

CCook

[mockingly] I'm a fucking waste of space. I'm just a stupid kid. I got no sense. A criminal. I'm no fucking use, me. I am nothing. So, please... Please... Get it into, you know, into your bonce... that you killed my friend. And... [shrugs] I'm Cook. [John Foster smiles] I'M COOK! [throws a punch. Series ends]

[After Mini and her friends join Franky at lunch]

Haven't seen you around Bristol. How come you started so late?

I kind of, like, moved here.

From where?

Oxford.

Understandable. But why?

[standing up] Look, if you are going to start shit now, then please could you get it over with, because I've had enough grief before, and I...

[confused] "Start shit?"

What grief?

Before, like, Oxford, or past life before? Because I had a dream two Sundays ago that I was a slave actually working on a plantation and...

MLMini and Liv

[in unison] Shut up, Grace.

[A hysterical Franky is in a secluded area. Matty approaches. She hears him, whirls around and takes aim with a revolver]

[Tearfully] Go! Go away, please. [He turns, but then walks over to her] I said "Go away"!

Is it real?

Do you want to find out!? It's a re-drilled replica. It shoots bullets, okay!?

[noticing the pictures behind her] Bullets for bitches?

What?

Is this how you have fun?

Can you just leave me alone?

[He casually approaches her, so the gun is right on his heart]

Go on, then.

I don't have to take this shit anymore.

No, you don't. Bang! [she is startled. He looks her up and down] You're beautiful.

No. No, I'm not. I'm... I'm a no-good shit magnet. I'm... I'm nothing.

So why do I see a... glorious fucking head-fuck thing?

[He turns and walks away]

Who are you? Don't...

See you around. Remember to aim straight for the heart, next time.

[He smiles at her and leaves]
