What are you doing? Hey.

Hey. Are you okay?

The fuck? I couldn't wake you.

Sit up. She's fine.

She's fine, she's fine. I called an ambulance.

You what? What?

Of course, I called an ambulance.

They're going to have to check your vitals, Rachel.

I was shaking her. She wasn't breathing.

Okay, look, can we all just calm down, please.

I need to find my phone. Where's my phone?

You're just a lightweight.

Here. Thank you.

(Sighs)

This time, I thought she was dead.

Was the ambulance absolutely necessary?

Yeah, Anna, it was absolutely necessary.

She wasn't breathing. Okay.

She's all right now.

Are you in immediate danger? Hi.

Say yes, if you can. No, sorry.

No, there's no emergency.

My boyfriend called for an ambulance,

but I just want to cancel it.

Did you have a good night after we left?

Yeah.

To a point.

You know what she's like, Anna?

She doesn't know when to call it a day.

She's a grown woman, Luke, so you just have to trust that she does.

Miss, what is your address?

I'm in Rathmines, but I don't need an ambulance.

I'm really sorry for waiting your time.

If you're not safe, please say yes.

No, no, no, no.

I just... I don't need an ambulance.

My, em... my boyfriend panicked and threw water

in my face because I'm an heavy sleeper.

I'm really sorry.

(Door closes)

Uhh...

Come on, get in.

No, we're not going to pretend like that just didn't happen, okay?

UGH...

Okay.

If you want to have it out, let's go. Oh, sorry.

Are you trying to turn this around now

so that you're pissed off with me?

Yeah. No, fuck that, Rachel.

Oh my God.

You are insufferable.

You were the one flirting with a bloke

right in front of my face last night, yeah?

Purely because he had some coke.

I wasn't flirting with anyone.

Why'd you call me your brother?

It worked, didn't it?

It got you where you wanted to go.

Listen, I'm sorry if your ego's so delicate

that me showing someone else some attention is so triggering.

You drive me mad, Rach.

(Sighs)

(Phone ringing)

(Sighs) God's sake...

Hi, em... I'm off today.

Get in here, Rachel.

You messed up the Jacksons' reservation,

and I'm not cleaning up your shit.

Anna, work just called.

There's some emergency with one of the guests.

Can you drive me in? You don't knock, huh?

I'm sorry. This is my apartment.

It's not your room.

Anna, do you mind me coming in? Don't do that, Rachel.

I can order you a taxi. Yeah, will you get a taxi?

I just don't want to get out of bed.

We're just taking it easy. Please, Anna.

No, Rachel. I'm going to get you a taxi.

Benjamin will be with you in 40 minutes.

Is there a match on? I don't know.

I need to get there quickly. Come on.

Okay, look, I'll be right back.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Did you use any shower gel in the bathroom?

Yeah, it was the only one that was in there.

Why? Was I not supposed to?

No, no. That's fine.

It's just...

Just different.

And? Am I dumping it?

No, no, no, no, it's fine.

It's just my sense of smell.

It's really heightened.

Oh, don't do that, Mag.

You've got every symptom under the sun every month.

I know, but this month I actually can smell it.

Paul, I'm just saying.

Look, are we going to talk about what happened this morning,

or are we just going to add it to the list of things that we ignore?

What? What's that supposed to mean?

Luke was really concerned.

Too concerned.

Well, I mean, the ambulance was definitely unnecessary.

What if someone actually needed an ambulance

and they couldn't get it because they were on our way to ours?

Yeah, exactly. I mean, like...

You know, it's actually a really selfish thing to do to call an

ambulance, if you think about it. I don't think it's selfish.

I think he was really worried.

Anyway, let's just... everyone needs to calm down

and just take a bit of space. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's genius.

Maybe we should walk the Camino or climb Kilimanjaro or something.

No, no, no, no, no, Rachel. Not you and me space, you and Luke space.

Besides, people only walk the Camino

when they're trying to run away from their lives.

And I definitely cannot run away right now

because I actually have something to tell you.

Why are you turning down the radio and being so dramatic?

Are you dying? No.

Are you pregnant? No.

What? I know.

He put it in a croissant this morning.

Who, Aidan? Obviously!

This is absolutely not obvious, Anna.

You only met him a few weeks ago. Months.

It's been months. You barely know this man.

I do know him, and I know that I love him.

I actually might announce it at lunch today.

(Sighs)

I don't even know why I care

because this is never actually going to happen.

This is just another one you're notions.

It's definitely happening.

We're going to spin around a few venues today, I think.

(Laughs)

Why are you laughing?

You've said nothing about the ring.

Yeah, because you're going to be giving it back in a few days.

Do you even know his mother's maiden name

or if he had any childhood pets?

Rachel, I'm marrying the guy.

I'm not trying to hack into his email.

I can't believe this.

I mean, this is just ridiculous.

How long are we going to have to wait for this colleague of yours?

You understand... Oh, shit.

You're off the plane, and you're just... Absolutely.

Can you not see how upsetting this is?

Here's my colleague now. She'll be able to help you.

Finally.

Mr. And Ms. Jackson.

No. I don't want to hear it.

We demand that you fix it right now.

I'm so sorry.

I honestly don't know how this happened.

I mean, I definitely remember making the booking, so.

So you're calling me a liar?

No, no, no, no.

No, I'm not saying that.

Anna, I'm quitting. Fuck this.

I'm better than this.

Oh, sorry.

There's no point in sending this to you

because you don't have any time for me at one of my voice notes.

Now that you have a fiancé.

Luke, do you want to come for lunch today?

Dad would love I don't want to see you.

No, you probably don't.

Listen, I just need you to know that I love you so much,

and I'm so sorry that last night was so chaotic.

Can we hang out tonight?

Walshy, smoke.

Christ, how are you still standing?

I got some Valiums off my neighbour.

(Sighs) I'm probably going to lose my job,

and then my mother's gonna lose her shit.

Ugh. I just don't know what people want from me.

Mm. The best lesson I've ever learnt.

Tell people what they want to hear, whatever it is.

An apology, a free breakfast.

Give it to them. They'll leave you alone.

Mm. You're right.

You're always right.

D'ya know that?

Actually, I'm going to change your name on my phone

to the voice of reason.

Oh, shit.

UGH. Lunch.

Walshy?

Are you okay?

Grand.

Wait till I see where it went. There, there.

No, no. Jesus, stop. What?

Jack, for God's sake, will you stop clicking?

Now it looks as if I like that Sandra Clifford's dog died.

Helen? Helen, come in here.

What do you need now? It's disappeared again.

Will you help me get it up?

Dad, if you ever ask me to help you get it up again, I will kill myself.

Jesus Christ, Helen.

12 o'clock on a Saturday, she's making suicide jokes.

Oh, I'm not joking, mum.

Look, Mick Clifford took Sandra on the Shannon as a surprise.

25 years to be married.

Clonmacnoise is the best he can do.

Well, then at least, Mick Clifford still takes his wife

places, even if it is Offaly.

Haven't we enough to be doing here?

Our girls are gone, Jack.

I'm ready for my postpartum adventure.

It's only been what, 35 years?

Helen's not gone, she's still here.

Yeah, but she's at college.

Anna and Rachel are away with their own lives.

As for Claire, she needs to stop relying on us

to do everything with Kate.

She is our granddaughter. Exactly.

We're done.

I want to go somewhere, somewhere there's no drama.

Maybe a cruise? No drama.

A cruise. People die on cruises.

They do not. They do so.

I read it online. I sent you a link.

They go there to die.

It's cheaper than a hospice.

No, I'm really sorry we had to interrupt our morning.

Yeah, annoying.

Do we have to do this lunch every week until we die?

No, just until they do.

And Jesus, I should not have said that.

No, it's actually really nice to have a weekly

check-in with everyone. I shouldn't have said that.

You're not wearing your ring.

I just need to find the right moment.

How did Rach take it?

Not well, but she takes traffic lights personally.

She's just really-Possessive?

No, actually, I was going to say loyal.

Here, I need to stop and get some flowers.

Can't arrive empty-handed.

Hiya. Hi.

Heya.

So you have two options.

You have flowers or chocolate.

You are a soft lick arse. What?

You'd always complain about mum's demands,

then you'd give in to them. Yeah, Helen, for a quiet life.

In fairness, you have created a monster to a point.

Thank you. I don't want to golf with Jack.

Okay, bye.

Ugh.

Hello. Hiya.

Sorry, thank you so much for getting those bits, Maggie.

You have two options, chocolate or cookies.

I'm not giving her chocolates or biscuits. She'll say I'm a feeder.

Well, they're the only options I have, Claire.

She's not wrong, though.

Mom's already in a bad mood because dad fell asleep at mass.

I'll give her the flowers.

You'll kill them.

I'm giving them to her in five minutes.

Still. I'm capable of keeping things alive,

thank you very much. You sound like James.

How is James?

I have to be careful now because the walls have ears.

Kate, we go inside and say hi to Nanny and grandad.

Where's Auntie Rachel?

Should we see if she's inside? Okay.

All right, go on about James.

He wants me to bring her over

because he's missing the birthday tomorrow.

I'm just exhausted. I'm dragging her through airports.

Why is it always me that goes over there?

I know.

But she loves to see him, and he loves to see her.

Don't do that, Maggie. You always take his side.

I don't. I'm just saying you should bring her.

I will, don't I always?

I'm just saying that being a parent is a gender imbalance cesspool.

Okay.

Give me a hand here.

I think we should go huge.

I think they said the room only holds 60.

60 it is.

We can't let my parents pay for anything.

Otherwise, every single person on their road will be invited.

No, I'm paying.

I already told you, but... But?

My money, my music. No.

No, no, no chance.

Any sign of Rachel?

Kate's crying. She's not here yet.

Oh, God. I need a night off from this.

Night off? When did you last have a night on?

What would you know about being a single mother?

Eh, that you're not one?

Come on, we're all raising that child.

Her first word was... Was Mama.

Yeah, who was it directed on? Rachel.

Okay, Helen, leave it. Hey.

Hey. Hello.

Hi. What's it today, Maggie?

Chicken. Oh, my favourite.

Let me help. I told you.

I did suggest lamb, but mum was horrified

I would suggest it at this time of year.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. She's watching from the good room.

Hey, Mum. Hey.

The ball in the middle.

This V goes to that shoulder.

There you go. Now, go on.

Oh. (Laughs)

We'll try that again.

The worst thing when Princess Diana died

was the outpouring of cheap ugly flowers.

I'm sorry, the merger thing wrapped in plastic isn't up

to your standards. He's all right.

These ones are gorgeous, Anna.

We'll put them into the window of the good room.

Sure no one goes into the good room, mum?

Yeah, leave them here where we can see them.

Everyone passing by on the street would see them.

Oh, well then. Well, I'll do it later.

Sorry. There she is.

Rachel!

Mum, these are for you.

Butter cookies. I'll be as fat as a fool.

Are you trying to give me diabetes?

(Helen) Mum, dial down the fat-phobia, please.

It is really boring. Fat-phobia?

See, that's the problem with your generation, Helen.

You're so accepting.

Excuse us for trying to make people feel comfortable

in their own bodies. But at what cost, Helen?

At what cost?

Hey, you perked up since this morning.

Mum, a friend of mine is selling a ticket to Field of Dreams.

You are a grown woman Helen. Do you need to ask permission?

Field of Dreams? That's wild.

Sure Jack didn't the Department of Health have an amnesty

tent to that thing? They do, for the drugs.

I am going to serve the dinner now.

Open the window there like a good girl, Helen.

Don't the smell of food in the house all day.

Guys, she doesn't need to ask for permission.

Helen's 23 years old. (Helen) I'm not.

But thank you.

You'd never let us go to a festival like that one.

None of you had to ask because you all got the chance to escape.

Oh, escape?

Excuse me for putting a roof over your heads.

You're an adult, Helen.

You can do whatever you want.

Yeah, but the ticket is 300, and I don't have any money.

It's alarming you don't even have a small cushion

when you're living here rent-free. Garv.

I'll put a small cushion over his head.

(Claire) Just because you still have your communion money.

(Laughter)

(Anna) Under his mattress.

Do you think we should get the ticket for her?

Absolutely not. It's hot.

(Rachel) Ah, guys, it's not that simple.

It's expensive out there.

Says you, and I'm the dope who pays your rent when you're broke.

Here we are. Yeah, if you spend less money on gigs and flat whites,

you might have a hope. You're a generation of wasters.

Wasters?

(Scoffs) Mum, things are different since your day.

Bouncy castle tomorrow is costing me 200 euro for the day.

It's not our fault that the systemic underinvestment

of successive governments means that buying a house is impossible

and renting a place is extortion.

Although, yeah, the government are trying more now.

Just a bit.

Just stay safe with that festival, Helen.

You don't know the people that go to that type of thing.

Yeah, Helen. Protect yourself from the rabble.

You think you're going to catch poverty or something, is it?

(Laughter)

Go on, Garb.

Garv!

Can Auntie Rachel come on the bouncing castle with me tomorrow?

Well, it's your birthday, so you get what you want.

Yay. Yay!

Okay, let's watch some cartoons now.

Mum's going to go talk to the aunties, all right?

< Where's Luke?

Did he not say he was coming today? I don't know.

Maybe he changed his mind. That poor lad.

How does he put up with you?

I don't know, mum.

People put up with all sorts of stuff.

I like Luke. The guy's got rizz.

He's got what?

Rizz.

Luke has rizz. Are you having a stroke?

Walshes, I've news.

Has Black Friday come early?

(Laughter) No, actually.

Actual news, hot off the press.

On Monday, I will finally be a full Walsh again.

My divorce has done.

(Cheering)

And... To Claire!

(Claire) What's that look for, Mum? Nothing.

I'm not putting up with any negativity about this.

I'm finally rid of a man who left me the day Kate was born.

Yeah, this is huge. Yeah, we have to celebrate.

Even I would celebrate that.

Oh, well, I'd love to go out, but you know.

Why don't you go out, Garv and I'll babysit.

Yeah. (Jack) No, no, no.

You should all go.

Your mother and I will do this sitting.

You may volunteer yourself, but don't go offering my services.

Well, I'll watch her.

Please, I'll raise a glass and give us your Irish blessing.

Anna, I love you so much.

Thank you for welcoming me to the family,

and I can't wait to call it my own. To us.

Americans are so gross though.

Excuse me.

The shoes are my I can forgive the shoes, but I'm with Helen.

You're as unconcealed with your feelings.

Are you going to let them roast me like this?

Come on. We're Irish.

Roasting you means we love you.

That's confusing.

Well, welcome to being confused. Yay.

How come I've never seen you before?

Ya some kind of recluse?

(Laughter)

A recluse?

No.

Every bouncer in Dublin knows who I am.

Maybe you just don't know where's cool.

Yeah, that's possible.

That's very possible.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

I don't know.

I do believe in annoyed at first sight.

You know when you just see someone and they piss you off,

without even looking at you. Mm-hmm.

(Laughs) Oh, did I...

Did I just ruin where this was going with my jokes?

No. (Laughs) Not at all.

You know, maybe we shouldn't, though.

I don't know. I want you to know that I'm kinda into you.

Don't want it to be a one night only kinda thing.

Same.

But that doesn't mean we should deprive ourselves.

You know?

(Alarm)

Mum, mum, look at me. I'm six. (Groans)

Oh, hi.

Your eyes.

Oh, my God, my head.

Where are my presents?

Oh, wait till you see your presents.

Come on, come on.

Yeah, just give mommy a minute.

Okay.

Oh, come on, Claire.

Come on, Claire.

Come on.

(Phone ringing)

It's 10 o'clock.

Hello, Big Ben.

You'd said you'd get Kate to give me a call this morning

when she opened her present.

She's my child too, Claire.

I'm sorry, there's been an issue. I don't even want to hear it,

there's always an issue.

♪ ♪

Perfect.

(Distorted) Idiot.

(Laughter)

Sorry, man.

(Distorted) Sorry. Don't mind her. Rachel.

Rachel.

Drink. No, we're done drinking.

Her name is Rachel.

Rachel? Rachel, can you hear me?

Rachel? Rachel?

Rachel, can you tell us what happened?

Yeah, I fell asleep.

I was so tired.

We could barely detect a pulse when we found you.

Tell me, have you any history of drug abuse, alcohol abuse,

substance abuse?

Any history of self-harming or suicidal thoughts?

Look, I'm sorry for your wasting your time.

I just couldn't sleep, so I took a little sleeping tablet.

Morning.

I've ordered new sneakers to be more palatable to your sisters.

(Laughs) Okay, you passed the test.

It's just mum too impressed now, so I hope you bought Nikes.

So listen, there's something-

I think your Adidas will be fine.

I love you.

So there's something I need to tell you.

Hang on.

Hello?

Hi, could I speak to Anna Walsh? Speaking?

Hi, it's about your sister, Rachel.

She was admitted to A&E earlier this morning.

An ambulance was called. Is she okay?

Hi Jack. Hi Jack. Hiya.

You could do it a bit, son. Oh, dad.

Not now, not now.

Great job, great job.

This just isn't the reaction-

Are you okay? Yeah.

No, I'm totally fine, honestly.

Are you happy for me to continue with your sister here?

Yeah.

How you presented today, I know you didn't just take a sleeping tablet.

You know, most medical studies aren't done on women.

So maybe it's a female thing.

And I'm really tired, so maybe low iron.

You've been here a lot.

Last month, there was the shoulder.

That was the Cobblestone night, remember?

Oh, yeah, no, no, I was there for that.

There was a really drunk man within accordion.

No, that definitely wasn't her fault.

We've had a dislocated kneecap, the glass shard in the hand,

two sprained ankles.

There was a slippery stairs, and the glass in the hand was...

I can't even remember.

Customers break glass and work all the time.

The angles are just clumsy.

I think maybe this time you should speak to

our psychiatric department. How would that sound?

Eh...

Ridiculous.

Psychiatric Department?

We are advising some rehabilitation and support for you.

Sorry.

Like, rehab?

Why aren't you listening?

No wonder there's a hospital trolley crisis

if you're keeping people in bed for being tired.

Look, doctor, my boyfriend and I have some...

issues,

and the whole thing blew up,

and I was just so upset and immature and stupid. I'm just stupid.

This has been a massive wake-up call, and I will never, ever, ever,

ever do coke or drink straight gin ever again.

Ever.

Rachel, you need support.

You have a very serious problem.

Thank you.

(Sighs)

Your one thinks she's in Grey's Anatomy or something.

The drama.

Shit, Kate's party.

Please don't tell Mum and Dad.

Kate, that's enough.

Did you have a good party, Monkey? Yes.

The best one yet, and especially because I got ice cream.

Is the Coast clear?

Earplugs in and music playing.

I can still hear the screeching.

That's what I don't know if six-year-olds will do, Mum.

Well, thank God, parties weren't a big thing in your day.

They were for everyone else.

My mates used to think we were Jehovah's witnesses

because we never had any parties.

Come off it.

You never wanted for anything.

Sorry, Is that my tracksuit?

Yeah.

It's a bit big, but I just wanted something cosy.

Big?

My clothes aren't big.

Hey, it's Luke. Sorry I missed you.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

Oh, where are you going?

Why are you interrogating me?

Eh... maybe because I'm wildly confused

about this whole situation, Rachel. Why are we in hospital?

Talking to a doctor about you needing rehab?

What is going on with you?

That's what I'm saying.

That doctor is giving mellow melodrama.

No, Rachel, you pretending like this is normal,

it's actually really fucking frightening.

Do you know that?

Are you trying to make me feel like I'm going crazy?

You just say what you want to see, Anna.

Drug addicts... Fiancés. No, stop.

Don't deflect to make this about me.

I'm not the only person who's really concerned.

Luke just rang me there.

There is literally nothing I can say to convince you

because you all want me to be in this always. I live with you.

We spend every minute together, and I'm just hearing about

some of those injuries now.

Like, Rachel, nobody wants you to be like this.

(Sighs) Just... Rachel.

Walshy, what's the craic? Damien.

What the hell did you get up to last night?

And what?

Let them off thinking I'm a dramatic junkie?

Rach, it's class.

Any time I go, I feel like a million dollars after.

You get to lounge around all day,

all your meals are handed to you.

You get to talk about yourself all day.

It's the dream.

Seriously, call her.

Okay.

Okay.

Fine.

Speaker? Speaker.

Wait.

Hello.

Hey, Anna.

(Whispers) I'm sorry, you're right.

I'm sorry, you're right. I...

I think a bit of time away at rehab might be good for me.

Are you serious? Yeah.

I think a break from my life and a bit of... em...

Support.

Support is...

No, no, no, no. I can't.

I can't. I can't go to rehab. No.

Hello? Ahh, Walshy.

For God's sake, everyone's going to be in awe.

Hello?

You're going to be like a soldier who's fought in a war.

This is going to give you a proper status.

Hello?

Rachel?

Is there a spa? Fuck knows.

Hello. I think I've lost you, Rachel.

No, sorry, you haven't lost me. I'm here.

Will you please pick me up?

So is this "sister to the rescue" a two way street, or?

Yeah. Rachel I saved my arse on loads of occasions.

Why do I find that hard to believe?

Aiden, you'd do the same for your brothers.

Yeah, my brothers are a little different to your sister.

Yeah, well, maybe it's the start of a new Rachel.

Who knows?

Maybe even have to order non-alcoholic wine for the wedding.

They're taking their sweet time, aren't they?

Clearly not pushed about rehab, but like, what can I do?

I think we should get some more drinks

because it's not my problem.

Good thinking. Can I please get two drinks? Two more drinks.

Actually, what did you want to say to me this morning?

Um...

Yeah, I have an issue.

Might affect the wedding. Yeah?

What is it?

Shit, sorry. It's right here.
