Original subtitles

What's this?

Ah, no. You can't have that.

Alright, I'll pick something else.

That's just for real men.

Yeah?

You'd be better off choosing one of these girly dolls down here.

Yeah well, what if I want…

This doll?

Oh, you've touched it now.

Lucky you.

Now listen.

There's three rules that you've got to follow for this to work.

Want what to work?

Rule number one…

Never let it out of your sight.

Never let it…

Rule number two…

Never be unkind to it.

Okay?

Rule number three…

Never, ever…

Feed it after midnight.

Oh right. You're pulling my leg.

God, you nearly had me there.

I was like, I don't even know what this is

and it's like damn, I've gotta remember all these rules.

Forget that last one.

But seriously, it works. If you follow the first two rules.

You still haven't told me what it does.

This…

Is a Japanese luck doll.

It brings you luck.

Tell it what you want, follow the rules…

And you're a winner matey.

Sorry but that is bullshit.

Give it a try.

I'm gonna have to now, hey?

That was a damn good sales pitch.

I can't really afford it but umm…

Here's your 20.

Don't forget your hammer.

Alright.

Let's do this.

Luck doll.

You gonna get me a job?

Sort out my life?

Hello?

Hi darling. You alright?

Hi mum. Yeah. Yourself?

I'll phone you later, but I just wanted to let you know

your auntie Nora left me some money, and your dad and I have been talking

and we want you to have it to pay off your credit cards.

There's about seven grand.

Seven grand?

That should pay them off shouldn't it?

Wow.

I can't believe it. That's amazing.

Well that's alright darling, we just wanna help.

Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, mum. Thanks.

Oh my God!

What the hell is that?

Oh that was brilliant.

That is bloody horrible. I do not like that Ryan.

This…

Is my new best friend.

Your what?

This…

Is Mr. Lucky.

Mr. Lucky? With a face like that?

Shush alright?

Now you are not gonna believe what I'm about to tell you.

Go on then. This is gonna be good.

So, I went out to get a hammer today.

Have you got one?

Yep. I got one at the antiques market.

-The antiques market? -Mhm.

How much have you paid for that?

-Twenty quid. -Twenty quid! No, Ryan. Twenty quid?

You can get hammers for a fiver.

You've spent four times more than you needed on a bloody hammer.

-Louise let me finish. -I need to get my budget out.

Oh ho ho!

You know how I love it when you get your budget out.

Don't.

You know how your spreadsheets turn me on.

- Ryan stop it. -

Ryan it's not even funny.

That's 15 pounds worth of potential luxuries gone this month

on a bloody hammer.

Oh shit. How am I gonna live?

Oh yeah, you're joking now aren't you?

Louise. Can I just tell you my story?

This is a Japanese luck doll.

Mr. Lucky is gonna take care of everything.

Yeah well he hasn't taken care of you getting that job today has he.

Ryan don't sit on the coffee table. It's not ours remember?

I'm sorry I spent too much money on the hammer.

It's not even about the money.

The shopkeeper gave me the doll for free.

He said it was a luck doll.

-Ryan. -It's just a bit of fun.

Just put the doll down please will you?

Look.

I'm really proud of you. Okay?

You've been to three job interviews and I know you didn't want any of them.

I know you didn't.

But you were doing this for me.

And I am so proud of you.

I love you.

You know that don't you Ryan?

Of course.

I just want you to show me

that you understand the situation we're in now.

You know you quitting being a teacher is really just...

-Ah Lou, don't start that. -No, no, no. It's just…

I mean, I know it was hard. Most jobs are.

It just means the situation we're in is different now.

-Yeah. It's all my fault. I know. -No!

That is not what I'm saying Ryan. Listen.

Because of that decision…

My mum and dad are letting us stay in this house rent free

so we can get our own mortgage.

Why couldn't they just give us the money for the deposit

and we could stay where we were? It's like bloody slavery.

It's about stepping up and taking responsibility Ryan.

They're not just gonna give us handouts are they?

What are you looking at?

So you're a doll for a real man huh?

I need to step up.

"Are you with me on this?"

"Are we together on this?"

Actually Lou…

I've got it all sorted.

Come into a bit of money.

About seven grand.

"Oh yeah?"

"You haven't earned that Ryan."

"You can't just get through life on a free lunch."

Oh my God.

Ryan don't do that, I've got knives. I could cut myself.

-Yeah. Lemme help you with those. -No!

What? I'm just trying to…

Ryan. I've got my rubber gloves on.

Oh Louise…

What would your life coach say about this?

I think he'd encourage me to help around the house more.

You know, step up, take responsibility.

Oh, is that what this is?

Louise I am trying to do the washing up.

-No you are not! -Please! I'm helpin', I'm helpin'.

You're not!

Honestly, the amount of time I've taken on presentations

to tell 'em exactly what it is that we do

and why if it wasn't for my team they wouldn't have a job.

But do they listen? No.

What's that doing in here?

That's just where I put him.

Oh, it's a "he" now is it?

Well it's not staying in here.

-Why not? -Because It's weird.

Look at it.

Whoa, whoa. Hold on Lou. No, no.

You don't understand.

I'm not allowed to let it outta my sight.

Or what?

Or it won't bring me luck.

Oh, Ryan. Please tell me you are joking.

There's these rules.

Oh my God there's more.

Yes. Just one more.

You cannot be unkind to it.

Well that shouldn't be too difficult should it?

I mean, how can I not be unkind

-to such an ugly little bastard?! -Louise don't!

She doesn't mean it.

Ryan what the fuck are you doing?

I know it's stupid, for fuck's sake.

I spent 20 pound on this and a hammer and

I just wanna give it a bloody go.

Is that alright?

I think it might even

get me the job on Friday.

Yeah well we'll see won't we.

Louise.

Louise!

What?

Where's the doll?

What?

Where's the doll?!

Why did she do that?

Did you move the doll?

Yes because I couldn't sleep.

Well why did you do that?

Because I need to sleep so I can go to work and earn us money.

I thought we agreed on this.

I haven't got time for this now.

Here. Just fill me that up please.

Thank you. Right I'm off. Gimme a kiss.

Alan's coming today, so have a good session.

Remember to get pumped up for your interview tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah. Do the cooking

and all the cleaning, and make the box for the milk and bread.

No, I didn't say that. You cheeky bugger.

But I wouldn't say no.

Say goodbye to Mr. Lucky.

Ryan.

Sorry about that pal.

You're alright though aren't you?

You'll let me off this one time surely?

Hello?

Yes. Umm. Uhh…

Yes I… I paid 7,000 pounds across onto a credit card.

No, it's not an old card. I-It's my only card.

No you…

You didn't send me a new card.

How can you lose

7,000 pounds?

Yeah…

Yeah it better turn up. 'Cause I tell you what, if it doesn't

it's a fucking criminal act. Alright?

You know I cannot believe the incompetence of you people.

I spend weeks upon weeks on the phone to every single one of you.

And I tell you what, all you seem to do is pass on the buck.

And blame it on your damn systems.

Well I tell you, I am fucking sick of it. Alright?

Fuck!

What the fuck man?

Where were you?

Oh you sly little…

I can't say anything, huh?

Huh?

Alright, well done.

Well done.

Okay. Okay.

Japanese luck doll.

There you are.

Check this out. This is a real thing.

"DA-RU-MA."

Daruma doll?

I got you now boyo.

Okay. Okay.

Good luck, happiness, health, wealth…

Certain rules, blah, blah, blah.

"How to reset your luck doll's amazing powers

and improve your life."

Perfect.

Okay.

I'm sorry…

I let you outta my sight.

And I'm sorry that Louise was unkind to you.

I want to…

I want to umm…

I just need a job.

I feel like there's…

Some things in my life that

could change.

But I…

Don't know what to say about them so…

Maybe just get me the job.

Please?

"Congratulations. You're back on track."

"May your lucky red Daruma doll bring you all your heart's desires."

What?

Mine isn't red.

Hi Ryan. You alright?

Alan. How's it going?

Good thanks.

Traffic through town was awful.

Yep, yep. Always the way.

Can I get you a glass of water? - Yes please.

-There you go. -Thank you.

Are we upstairs are we?

This is downstairs, Alan.

- No I... -

I'm only joking mate.

Yeah, we're upstairs. We're upstairs.

I've been there Ryan.

Depressed.

Angry.

I was overweight.

Drinking.

I smelled.

No fixed address.

No libido…

I was broken.

It was like…

I was smothered

by a dark cloud.

Like that out of body experience you mentioned.

I remember one night seeing these…

Gnashing teeth yelling.

"You deserve to be there."

"Shut up. Stay down. Don't move. Shut up!"

But do you know what happened?

A simple question came to me.

"Whose life are you living?"

Whose life

are you living?

And that was it.

I woke up.

I realised I was living somebody else's life.

I don't know whose life it was, but it wasn't mine.

Now my life is this.

Helping guys like you.

Guys like me.

What is this?

What?

You keep playing with it.

Oh.

Do you find it helpful?

No.

Hmm.

Ooh.

Hello.

Well I've had a good day.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, I've been given a pay rise.

-What? That's amazing babes. -Yeah.

I know, an extra two grand.

Yes! Come 'ere.

They weren't gonna do pay reviews 'till the end of the year, but there we go.

'Course they did.

'Course they did.

That is amazing news.

I see Mr. Lucky's joined us for dinner again.

He has indeed.

Do you know he's actually based on an actual guy's life?

Apparently there was this massive fire, and he barely got out alive

though he did go blind and lose all his limbs.

Did you show him to Alan?

No.

Did you take him in the room with you?

What's the problem here?

Nothing.

I haven't said anything.

What?

I think it's time to put your favorite picture up on the wall.

I'm not doing anything unless you put Mr. Lucky down.

Come on Lou.

He's not here.

Let's celebrate!

I cannot take you seriously when you keep carrying that around.

Just…

Put it down. It's weird, Ryan.

Fine.

If I put it down

will you come and put the picture up with me?

We can do it together.

And we're going to use my amazing expensive hammer.

Okay.

-Yes. -Okay.

Go and get the picture then.

A pay rise.

You little fucking legend.

Ah.

Okay then. Where would you like to put it my love?

I was thinking…

Here?

Maybe?

Okay… Great.

What about…

By the door?

Come on Louise. What's happening?

Come on decisive woman.

I don't know. Honestly, I'm not sure.

Umm…

I literally can't decide.

I think it looks good on that wall.

Don't mock me.

Not that wall. That wall.

Shut up.

Give over.

Ryan.

What are you doing?

I'm helping.

What the fuck are you doing?

Mr. Lucky wants to help us.

Ryan, put it down.

- She's crazy. -Ryan, please put it down.

Right, this is it!

This is going in the bin.

I'm only joking.

Well I am not!

I have been sat at work

grafting my ass off all day, while you've been sat playing with dolls.

This little shit is going exactly where he belongs.

Louise, don't be unkind please.

Oh my God. Not that again.

Louise please don't be unkind.

Louise. You're gonna ruin it again!

Tell me one rational, logical thing right now

that is gonna stop me from putting this in the bin.

Nothing.

Alright? I'm just gonna ask you not to. Please.

No.

Oh for God's sake.

Ryan, grow up.

You do not understand.

Oh yes I do.

Do not go anywhere near this bin again. I swear to God.

It is for your own good. You've got an interview tomorrow.

It's okay.

We're okay.

Yeah.

You're gonna smash it today you are.

Yeah.

I will.

I love you.

Love you too.

Good luck.

Yep.

I am free to make my own choices.

I am free to make…

Can I do it standing up?

Yes, that's good. Good, good.

I am free to make good choices.

I am free to make good choices.

I am free to make…

Ryan, do you want to look at me?

I'm free to make choices

which are difficult in the short term

but bad for me and those around me in the long term.

Ryan, I think you're missing what this is about.

It's about focus.

I'm getting the sense you're quite distracted.

Why don't we go and sit down and we can go through them together.

Oh Alan.

I had an argument with Louise.

She tried to get rid of the doll.

I know it's silly. I know.

I just had to get out the bin.

Why did I need to do that?

Because it's perfectly natural, Ryan.

Really?

'Cause I think it's really tragic.

I'm starting to think that maybe…

I'm really, really lonely.

Alan look, I'm…

I'm sorry. I just need a friend.

No, Ryan.

It's not tragic.

Listen.

I happened to speak to a friend of mine last night.

A great psychotherapist.

And he happened to say what I thought.

Which is basically…

That…

Sometimes externalizing our thoughts and our problems

onto something can be a great way of overcoming them and understanding them.

You happen to have a connection with the doll don't you?

Yes.

Good.

Embrace it.

I…

I don't think that's really helping.

Doubts, Ryan…

Are just

questions from our shadow selves.

Remember.

Whose life

are you living?

Whose life

am I living?

I don't know what that means, Alan.

I'm living my life. How can I not be?

That's fucking terrifying.

Don't answer the question.

Live the question!

Whose life…

Are you living?

I'm sorry I let you out of my sight again.

And I'm sorry that Louise has been so unkind to you.

So ungrateful.

I promise if you get me the job…

And get Louise off my back.

I'll…

I-I dunno. I'll just…

I'll do whatever.

Just… Just please…

Before something bad happens again.

Whose life…

Am I living?

Whose life are you living?

Whose life are you living?

I think I would be a valued member

of any team I suppose.

Because I am a people person.

But I can be focused…

And work on my own when necessary.

Hospitality was always my first love.

Even well before teaching got into the picture.

Die you fuck!

Yaha!

Just reminding myself of your previous experience.

You've obviously worked in hospitality before.

Which is great.

How did you find it?

Loved it. Had an absolute blast.

And we had a great team, and we worked well together.

-Good. -And we created a comfortable experience

for the customer.

Great.

Just sidestep for a moment.

So, you left hospitality and you became a teacher.

Congratulations. That's not something I could do.

- Neither can I. -

Oh, is that why you left teaching then?

Because it's something you felt you weren't good at?

Oh, no. No. Not at all. Not at all.

So why did you leave teaching?

That is a great question.

I umm…

I-I really uhh…

I-it just felt like covered ground.

Do you know what I mean?

I think so. But go on.

I was moving house and there were several other factors, but I just…

Really felt like I needed a change after what happened.

What happened?

Oh, nothing in particular.

Okay, we'll take a side step back now.

If I could get you to do a little exercise for me.

I'd like you to pretend that I'm a customer

and to sell me something in the room.

Sell you something?

Just to see how your customer facing skills are.

Sell me anything,

Anything?

Whatever you like.

I know what you're thinking.

You've come into this hotel…

You've taken one look at me and thought…

You don't belong here.

Look at you.

What are you doing here?

And you'd be right.

Because I am unusual.

But I am not a toy.

I am no decoration.

I am a luck doll.

And I exist

for these very moments.

For you to come in here, look at me

and against everything you know to be true…

Say to yourself…

I want you.

Oh, I want you.

And your life will never be the same again.

When I was a little boy…

My family died in a house fire.

And all the people from the village worked day and night…

Trying to clear the rubble and put out the fire.

And when they finally dragged me out, barely alive…

My first words were…

And now they call me Mr. Lucky.

And now when anyone looks after me

they receive the blessing of good luck.

Now you look at me, Michelle.

And tell me you don't need that kind of luck in your life.

'Course you do.

Well, I was not expecting that.

You've actually done quite well there, because when you brought it out

I thought he's gonna have a hard time selling that to me.

I have to say…

Ryan, I am going to give you this job.

No?

I am. I've no doubt that you'll fit in here

and I think we could all do with your creative input somewhere.

Wow. Uhh, th-thank you.

Hospitality hasn't changed that much over the years so

the hours for concierge…

Wooh!

She was nice.

You smashed it in there.

We're going places buddy. This is it.

Wooh!

Is it all right working here?

Yeah…

I-I mean…

Uh oh.

No, uhh…

-It's alright. -Uh oh!

Look, it's fine. You'll enjoy it.

I think.

Do you believe in luck?

Luck…

Umm… Yeah?

I guess so.

Like…

Sometimes things happen that you can't explain and that.

Yeah.

This is Mr. Lucky.

He got me the job.

Did he?

Right…

He's a bit ugly.

What?

Look at him.

- No, he's fine. He's fine. -

Maybe you need to take a closer look. Here.

Here!

Alright mate.

Alright pal.

Nice suit.

Cheers.

Tailor-made.

What do you do?

White goods repairs.

What dishwashers and that?

Fridges, fridge-freezers…

Washing machines.

Business going well like?

Fucking off the scale mate.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Wouldn't think it would you?

What's your name?

Darren.

Ryan.

Are you a lucky man, Darren?

Real men make their own luck.

What does that make me?

What d'you mean?

What if I told you I wasn't a real man?

What are you then?

Are you looking at Mr. Lucky are you?

-Mr. Lucky? -Yeah

What if I am, Ryan?

Okay.

As long as you don't touch it.

Otherwise it'll give you all my luck.

Don't need any mate.

You're a fucking nutter aren't you?

I love it.

I fucking love it.

Tell you what.

Pass me your bag.

My dad used to say…

A man is defined

by what he carries in his bag.

Oh.

And what's this for?

Oh…

What will your dad think about that?

I think he'd be more concerned

about you bringing strange men in your car

and playing with dolls.

So what's in your bag, Darren?

That's my secret.

I don't think you have a bag.

Now what…

Does that…

Say about me?

You're undefinable.

You and me…

Are the same, Ryan.

We're different.

Nothing can stop us now.

I'm afraid we're not the same, Darren.

How's that?

Whose life are you living?

Whose life am I living?

Whose…

Life are you living?

I'm asking you.

Think about it.

It's a great question, Ryan.

I haven't a fucking clue what you're on about.

But it's a great question.

Ha-hey!

Wahey!

Yarh!

Wooh!

Fucking do it mate.

Will you rescue me?

It's too late for that. We've gone beyond.

What are you afraid of, Darren?

It's just one man asking another man for help.

You've got help, Ryan.

You've got Mr. Lucky.

Who have I got?

My bag's empty.

I'm fucked mate.

I'm going in.

No mate! No!

What?!

You bastard.

Face it, Ryan.

Guys like us.

We're on our way out.

We don't belong here anymore.

We've got each other. Don't give up mate.

Whose world do you think this is?

You said it yourself.

We're not living our own lives anymore.

Whose lives are we living?

I can't answer that.

But you can Ryan.

I've got faith in you.

-You can answer it. -I can, can't I?!

'Course you fuckin' can!

I can! -Answer it then!

Oh. You're in here. I didn't hear you come in.

How did it go then?

Oh, Louise.

Oh no.

I think you'd better sit down.

The thing is, I went in there, gave it everything I had.

Things were going really well.

Then what?

Well…

For some strange reason…

They gave me the job.

No!

Oh Ryan, you little shit.

You nearly had me there.

That's amazing!

Come here.

Oh my God.

I can't believe it. You've actually got a job.

I have a job.

Finally.

Finally.

Well, tell me all about it then.

What happened though?

Wha-What did they… What did they ask?

Just what we expected really.

-Did they ask about why you quit teaching? -No.

Don't think that came up.

That'll be why you have got the job.

No, I think we all know why I got the job.

Oh my God.

I'm gonna have to phone my mum and dad and tell 'em.

We should celebrate!

Let's open a bottle of wine and order a takeaway.

Now Lou, let's not go too crazy now.

No, no, no. You've done so well. I'm really proud of you.

Should I check a spreadsheet and see what luxuries we can actually afford?

Don't be silly.

Let's celebrate.

Hello.

Is that Lucky 888?

Yeah.

I'd like to make a food order please.

That's us.

I'd like to order the set menu special.

How many?

Let's make that for three people.

No…

Nothing else.

Wonderful.

See you soon.

Oh my God.

I can't believe it.

I might actually cry.

Lou.

When do you start?

On Monday.

Oh my God, that's quick.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Who's that?

Hmm?

Oh.

It's probably your mom is it?

Just checking what my salary's gonna be?

No.

I don't recognise that number.

Hold on.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

Yeah, this is… This is Louise, Ryan's partner.

Okay.

Don't look at me like that Ryan.

What is this fucking doll

doing back in our kitchen?

Just be careful with it.

It's a bloody doll!

Stop it!

Let go of it.

Let him go! - Give it here!

Give him back to me.

You're not gonna ask me who that was?

You not gonna ask me who that was on the phone, Ryan?

-Hey? -No.

Why did you

take this to the

interview?!

I got the job didn't I? What more proof do you need?

-Proof of what? -Of Mr. Lucky giving me luck.

Fucking luck?

He's not that fucking lucky is he?

Because you didn't get the job.

You complete dickhead.

Yeah.

They've sacked you already.

That was the hotel on the phone just then.

They said Mr. Lucky has molested a staff member…

-In a lift! -What?

What the fuck

is wrong with you?

They've got it all wrong.

Go on then.

Show me.

Go on show me.

What did you do…

With that girl in the lift?

Hey?

Come on.

Show me.

Show me what you did with that girl in the lift.

I, I'm gonna play the girl.

Okay?

Hiya, nice to meet you.

Oh, what's that you've got there?

Come on, show me!

Louise!

Hello.

Ooh, you're a bit weird looking aren't ya?

What big eyes you have got.

Are you enjoying

staring

at my perk tits?

Mr. Lucky!

Mr. Lucky! Ooh!

Leave him alone.

Please. Please can we just talk? Please?

I'm working out!

Can't you just talk to me?

- Everything's gonna be alright. - No it isn't. It isn't. It isn't.

Everything's gonna be fine!

It isn't. I can feel it.

-It is! -It isn't!

It is! It is! It is! -No, Ryan. Stop!

-Ryan stop! -It is!

I'm such a disappointment. I am.

I know you need so much better.

I want to give you what you want, but I don't know.

You are so strong, Louise.

And I have leaned on you for far too long now.

You have.

I know I have.

It's like I'm afraid of life.

I need you.

And I need you to be better than this.

I love you and you are better than this.

I know I am.

Somewhere deep down.

You are.

You don't need this doll, Ryan.

It feels good to talk like this.

I just want us to have a life together.

I want us to get a mortgage.

I want us to buy a house.

And have children.

Look, you don't get this through luck.

You get it through hard work.

-I Promise. -You promise me this…

It's over.

I promise.

I promise that everything is gonna be different from now on.

Come here.

Oh…

Shit, that's my mum.

Get yourself cleaned up and get rid of that doll.

…on holiday recently and d'ya know how long they were held up at the airport?

- 24 hours she said. - 24 hours?

Can you believe it? - Oh hello!

- Ooh, here he is! - Can see his ugly mug properly now!

Oh, Louise. She ain't very nice is she Ryan?

Awful, Sheryl. She can't get that from you surely.

No. But I think I know unfortunately where she does it get from.

Excuse me, I am in the room still.

Sorry love. We're only teasing, aren't we?

- I'm not. -

I gotta tell you Sheryl, it's really nice

to get some backup in the house for once.

What's that?

Oh, what? This?

This…

Is Mr. Lucky.

What… What's Mr. Lucky?

Do you believe in luck, Sheryl?

Luck?

I think God helps them who helps themselves.

-I don't think mum wants to see Mr. Lucky. -It's alright, Lou.

Hello Sheryl.

- I'm Mr. Lucky. -

I'm Louise's friend.

This is my house.

Oh.

Is it now?

Well, thank you very much for letting me come and look 'round.

You don't mind d'you?

Of course not. You're my friend.

He's good with voices isn't he, Lou?

And where do you come from Mr. Lucky?

From far, far away.

-To bring good luck! -Time to put it away now, Ryan.

Ooh. And do you think you can help me win the lottery, Mr. Lucky?

-Yes! Yes I can! -Mum, I've realised I haven't offered you…

Don't. Ryan, I'm telling you.

Give me the doll.

Okay.

If you follow me with that…

But we love you, Lou.

And your mummy.

Mummy. Mummy. Mummy.

Oh. Ty Louise.

Ah.

Now, Ryan. Tell me about this job.

Congratulations.

Oh, ta Sheryl. Very kind.

-Well it is exciting. -Mhm?

Oh, that is a great brew Louise.

Mr. Lucky loves a good brew.

Lou?

-Louise? -What's the matter?

What's the matter? -

-What's up with her? -It's alright, Sheryl.

Best let her go.

What's happening?

It's umm…

It's kinda hard to talk about.

What is?

She's not been very well, Sheryl.

She's developed a certain attachment.

Ryan. You're scaring me. What's going on?

She's become obsessed with Mr. Lucky.

You what?

I play my part…

You know, you can see.

But she just goes mental whenever he's not in the same room as her.

-What for? -I know. Look, I know.

I'm worried about what might happen.

Look, can I ask you…

Has she ever had any kind of trauma growing up?

And please don't take this the wrong way. Any kind of abuse?

God no, Ryan. God no.

Look Sheryl, don't blame yourself. We're working it through

I can't believe we're talking about my Louise.

She's got into some trouble at work. They're talking about letting her go.

At the same time, I think she wants to stop.

Now that I'm the…

Working man.

I'm the breadwinner.

I am trying to be responsible here.

Look, let me explain something Ryan. Okay?

It was Louise who wanted to play it like this.

I told her we would lend her the money.

She didn't have to move here.

But she didn't want that. She didn't hear it.

Well that's very kind of you, Sheryl.

But I think it's important that we stay here just as we are.

- Give it here. - No, Lou.

Louise!

Stop it!

Time you said goodbye to Mr. Lucky because I have had enough of this.

Calm down.

Why didn't you tell me what you were going through?

So he's told you about it has he?

Well it needed talking about.

Yeah? Well I've tried talking about it more than most people would

and it is not fucking getting in.

Don't give up, Lou. Please don't give up.

Give it here.

Sheryl!

Louise! Ryan, give it to her for God's sake.

We all love you, Louise.

No you don't Ryan.

Because that's what I've come to realise.

You wouldn't treat me like this if you did love me.

Louise.

For God's sake, he's doing his best. What's he supposed to do?

It's time for him to grow up and stop being a fucking psycho.

Louise, don't do anything stupid.

Louise!

Ryan!

Ryan, get up.

I can't move.

I can't move.

Ryan, this is where this ends.

Stopping being a complete fucking dickhead and stand up will you?

Oh God.

It's too much for him.

Don't you start taking sides with him.

Here.

- Take this if this is what you want. - What you giving it me for?

You know, because I know about you and the doll.

Me and the doll?! -Yes.

You listen to me.

What have you told mum about the doll?

I can't move anything.

Ryan.

I'm sorry Mr. Lucky. I'm so sorry.

His eyes have changed.

No they haven't.

He can't stand it anymore!

He's dead!

Louise get an ambulance.

What do you want from me?

Do you want me to go?

Because…

Because if you do I will.

I'll fucking jump out of that window.

Where's Mr. Lucky?

Louise!

Give him the doll.

No.

He's having nothing to do with it.

I don't know who the fuck needs the doll.

Him or you.

You have it.

If you're so worried about him.

I'm gonna call his life coach.

He can come and sort out this fucking mess.

Here.

Sheryl, what am I gonna do? I'm paralyzed.

It's alright.

Just calm down.

You're gonna be okay.

-Will I? -Yes. You will.

I'll go and talk to Louise.

We broke the rules.

What rules?

She's been so unkind.

Mr. Lucky. He's my friend.

'Till the end.

Never let him out of your sight.

Keep him there. And always be kind.

This isn't like the Ryan I know.

The Ryan I know…

Is full of passion and motivation for life.

A zest for pushing through.

Striving.

Moving forward.

Is that Ryan still there?

Yes.

Do you think he wants to come back?

Do you think old Ryan needs Mr. Lucky?

Maybe…

The old Ryan wants to get rid of Mr. Lucky.

Look at me.

What does the new Ryan want?

Let's pass this doll between us and each say what we think it represents.

You are joking.

Let's do something, Louise.

Alright. I'll go first.

I think this doll represents forces outside of Ryan's control.

It's about control.

Mankind often puts these forces

under a veil of mystery to make them less frightening.

Ryan calls these forces luck.

It's a…

It's a way of depersonalising himself from his disappointments.

It's a self protection mechanism.

Oh my God, he's got you as well.

I think there's too many expectations on him.

No, there isn't! There's a healthy amount.

When your dad retired from the army he were like a wounded animal.

-For months! -Ryan is nothing like dad.

Dad saw his mates getting blown up by bombs.

What's Ryan seen other than his own lazy asshole?

Please, if we can just finish?

Okay! Okay.

This doll is called Mr. Lucky.

And he's called Mr. Lucky because Ryan has made up this idea

that he's got magical powers

and can help him fix all his problems.

And he's also invented these rules that he has to stick to

which he can conveniently blame everything

and everyone else for.

The problem with this doll…

Is it is no more alive than that fucking lampshade over there.

And this is why I am going fucking crazy

wondering how I can hate an inanimate object with so much passion.

- The fucking shit-faced bastard. - Okay. Thank you.

Oh God. What was that?

Oh, Ryan. I knew that you were messing around.

He's waiting for us in the kitchen.

Oh Ryan, that was a good'un.

Oh Ryan.

Louise! What is it?

Ryan?!

Louise!

Where's she going?

Ryan!

Ryan!

Just come back inside. We'll make a plan.

Sit down why don't you?

Bloody look for him!

What do you want me to do?

He's not in the bloody cupboard Louise.

Ryan what you doing down here?

Ryan.

Ryan!

He's not here.

Ryan?

What are you doing?

Stop! Stop!

Ryan?

Ryan what're you doing? - It's alright, Ryan.

Help me. Help me.

- It's alright. - Ryan.

Don't!

Okay?

-Tell me what's going on okay? -I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

What you sorry for?

- What you sorry for? - It's alright. It's funny! It's funny!

No! Stop! Stop!

I'm sorry Mr. Lucky.

I can't stop him now.

-He's coming! -He's not here.

He's not, Ryan! He's not.

-I've gone blind. -No you haven't.

-I've gone blind. I can't see! -You haven't! You haven't!

He's got my eyes.

I can see you all from somewhere else.

- You can't. You're okay. -

We need a different approach. This is making things worse.

I'm Mr. Lucky.

Fuck.

I'm a luck doll!

You're so funny! Laugh Alan!

That's hilarious, Ryan.

-That's hilarious! -I'm Mr. Lucky!

-Yes you are! -Oh Lou!

Ryan?

Ryan. Let go of the lighter. Please?

Ryan, just let go of the lighter.

I'm gonna take it off you okay? Here let go of it.

There you go.

That's it.

Ryan?

Ryan are you with us?

Ryan can you hear us?

Can you see us?

I…

Am burning you to hell, Mister.

You can burning in hellfire, whoever the fuck you are.

Baby.

Look at me.

- Look at me. -

I love you.

Okay?

I love you.

And we all want what's best for you, and everything is gonna be alright okay?

Are you ready to say goodbye to the doll?

We should stop, Louise.

Shut up.

You ready to say goodbye, Ryan? -

Say goodbye to the doll.

Hey you.

Welcome home.

I was umm…

Thinking about hanging up my favorite picture.

I just thought…

I dunno…

I just thought we could hang up my favorite picture together.

Do you wanna do that with me?

I was thinking here.

What do you think?

Maybe a bit lower?

Oh come on, Louise. Make a decision.

Actually, it is fine.

Will you bring me the hammer please?

Bring it over here. Come on.

Ryan?

What?
