Episode 5 6Degrees

Contains some strong language.

You can't just hide away.

Conor!

Maybe see you around Belfast?

Where do you work? A place in town called Velvet.

You should stay out of other people's business.

Why would I listen to you? You can barely look after yourself.

And weren't you happier not knowing it?

Not now.

YES, LAD! Good to see you, man. Catch you tonight, boys, yeah?

Yes lad! Yous all right, ladies. How ya doing?

Who's coming tonight?

Tell them the birthday boy invited ye, right?

# Sirens of an ambulance come howling...

What?

# ..right through the centre of town

# And no one blinks an eye

# And I look up to the sky for the path of a lightning bolt

# Met her as the angels parted for her

# She only brought me torture

# That's what happens when it's you that's standing

# In the path of a lightning bolt. #

I kept thinking everything would go back to normal...

..like before all this, y'know?

And, uh...

Starting to think that might never happen.

I guess that's why I'm here.

You're going miss your exam.

So? I'll re-sit them.

You can't re-sit re-sits. Go!

OK. OK.

As long as we can continue this back at my place tonight.

Your place?

Yeah. Sarah's on a night shift so we'll have the gaff to ourselves.

Or not?

I mean, it's OK us doing what we're doing

but not where your girlfriend stays over.

Yeah. OK. Umm...

If you'd prefer?

All right, Shams! Oh, the birthday boy himself!

Forget about that. It's your man from Ninja Bags.

In the flesh, son. It's getting plenty of hits.

I know! I mean, I heard. I haven't watched it that much.

Aye, in the last five minutes.

Listen guys can't really stop, got some stuff to do for tonight!

You guys should come. It'll be epic!

No, it's OK. We've got a date tonight with the sofa.

Been working all week.

Forget that! Sleep when you're dead! Come out and play.

Look, I want all my mates there.

Hm? All right.

Sweet, huh. Trust me, you'll be glad you came.

The Ninja might be making a guest appearance! Oh-ho-ho!

It's a week's worth of food so there's no excuse

for you to be skipping meals.

Yes, warden.

Oh, here. Picked this up on my way in.

Well? How did the festival go?

It didn't. We got lost in the arse crack of nowhere

and ended up fighting in a barn.

Is that all? Um, yeah.

Eva?

I kissed Danny. Oh...

So what does that mean?

Probably nothing.

Who's the card from?

Well?

Eh...

An old friend.

Tommy.

Just saying hello.

All right. Which one?

Don't be worrying about dinner.

Sheila. You need to eat.

I'm just gonna have a lie down.

Lad, I'm tellin' ya you gotta look at the positives, right?

You're single and that means you've a golden opportunity

to ride rings round ye.

Cheers, lad.

Who's moving in? No-one. I gave the room to Jess.

No point in sharing anymore.

Not if you're not getting a ride anymore, nah.

Shit one, boy.

Beer? No, no, you're grand.

But, uh...

Happy birthday, kid.

Sweet!

Lads, I'm telling you, right, hold on tight,

cos tonight is going to be awesomeness of balls deepness!

Good to see you, man. All right, mate, good to see you.

Good to see you. Good to see you.

I can't remember the last time this place was packed.

They're giving out free shots at the door. Who would turn that down?

Do you even know half these people, Leech?

Aye, sure. Friends of friends, man.

Oh, yeah. He's a friend of a friend, is he?

Yeowww!!! Happy Birthday!!!

So, will the birthday boy get us free drinks or what?

Actually, Danny was just getting the drinks in, weren't you, mate?

Need a hand, Danny?

Nah. Don't worry. I can manage.

I got you something.

Awk, you shouldn't have.

Shh. Just wanted you to have a good time.

Right. Let's go!

What do you think, huh? Of what?

Natalie! I told her you were looking to hook up.

Why did you do that?

Cause she's a madstab and you're single now!

What?!

Things getting serious with Dr Luke then?

I think it's a bit too soon for that.

What's wrong? I thought you liked him.

I do.

So what's going on?

He has a girlfriend.

Sandie, you dirt bird!

Aw, I wish I hadn't told you now.

You're grand. I'm sure you know what you're doing.

What about you?

I'm good.

Started counselling today.

Still standing.

I meant the love life.

Oh, right...

Who is he?

Brendan.

From the farm?! No way!

Are you going to see him again?

Nothing even happened. I don't have his number.

I know where he works, but... So go see him!

No harm, Conor, but what have you actually got to lose?

Smashed it, girls!

If you're lucky you'll get a private dance later.

Now you're talking.

Hey!

Hey! Just wanted to say cheers, mate!

How's that then?

For uploading that video and making me an absolute legend.

Classy bird you got there, Leech.

Here, away home and shag your snake, mate!

I'm a snake, I'm a slippery, slippery snake!

Where you going?

Hello, Tommy, this is Eva here. I'm a friend of Sheila.

Sheila Callaghan.

I think she'd appreciate it if you could just give her a quick call.

Just to kind of see how she is.

I'll text you her number.

Thanks. Bye.

So there you are.

Whoah! Yep. Here I am.

In the men's.

You weren't hiding from me, were you? No. No.

Just... taking a slash.

You know, Leech told me about you and your girlfriend.

Yeah, Natalie. He shouldn't have opened his mouth.

Maybe we should just forget about it.

No, really!

Relax. You're a free man.

Natalie. Maybe we should get a drink or something.

Can I help you?

Eva!

Ah! What the hell are you doing?

That's my boyfriend's crotch you've got your skanky hands on.

I thought yous broke up? Is that what he told you?

Yeah, I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you... babe.

Too right, you will!

"Babe"?

Yous came! Nice turn out, mate.

Yeah, cause he's a celeb now.

I'll get them in.

Here you go.

Ah, you shouldn't have.

So who's this then, Leech?

Oh, this is Carly.

So, you'll give us a wee song then, "Carly"?

I don't think so.

Don't be a bore. It's Leech's birthday. Keep her lit!

I don't really think she's comfortable in front of crowds.

Listen, they're only trying to wind you up. You don't have to.

Yeah. See you later.

CREAKING OUTSIDE

Hello?

Hello?

Get out! GET OUT!

Hold on, what would you have done if I hadn't interrupted?

Don't even!

Would you have let her go...

Eva!

Full blown Tulisa on you?

She scared the crap out of me!

Seriously. I'm just glad you were there to save me.

Anyway, it's Leech's fault.

I told him I wasn't ready for all this.

You hungry?

What? D'ya wanna get some food?

I thought we were just going to get some skins.

It's not like Leech is gonna miss us.

C'mon. My treat.

Call that work?

The man himself.

Uh... I didn't know how else to get in touch. I hope you don't mind.

I didn't know what to do, y'know.

But uh, I wanted to see you again.

Look, Conor, this... This isn't a good place to do this.

I didn't know there was a good place to do this.

My boyfriend runs this place.

I, er...

I'm sorry... I-I didn't realise...

No, look.

I should have said something. I didn't realise you'd rock up.

It's OK. Don't worry about it. Conor, wait!

Look, take my number.

I'm not saying I'm not interested,

I just need a bit of warning, that's all.

# When the rain is blowing in your face

# And the whole world is on your case

# I could offer you a warm embrace

# To make you feel my love

# When the evening shadows in the stars appear

# And there is no one there to dry your tears

# I can hold you for a million years

# To make you feel love

# To make you feel my love. #

Thanks for letting me come over.

I didn't know where else to go.

You should have called me as soon as you heard them.

I could've had a word with the scumbags.

The thought of them helping themselves to our stuff

when I was there...

You know you can stay here tonight if you want. If you'd feel safer?

Thanks, but I should really be there when the guys get home.

Conor, what are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing?

You're supposed to be taking it easy.

Not now, Sandie, OK?

What's wrong?

Did you see Brendan? Yeah.

And I made a complete idiot of myself.

Conor, I was only trying to help.

Like you were helping when you convinced me to play in that match?

What was that all about, huh?

Don't start, Leech.

In case you hadn't noticed, some of us are trying to have a good time.

What I've noticed is you making an absolute dick out of yourself

trying to get people to like you as usual.

And what, you've got your shit together, have you?

Tell me, Leech, what's it like to be a performing monkey?

LEECH LAUGHS

I mean, you're jealous, is that it? Huh?

I mean, cos everyone's here for me and you're not the big man any more?

No wonder Justin left you.

Yo. DJ's asking for Ninja Bags!

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah, let's go. What?

Sheila sounds like she has more craic than the lot of us put together.

She does. Just don't get her started on music.

She thinks she knows everything.

Old school, is it? Are you joking?

She was listening to Ministry Of Sound on my iPod the other day.

HE LAUGHS

Nah, she's cool. You can tell her anything. Nothing shocks her.

What do yous talk about?

Everything.

She was raging I didn't invite her on the Derry trip.

But I told her it was a complete disaster.

Wasn't it?

I mean, what happened between us was...

Yeah, we haven't been that steaming in ages.

I'm going to go check on Sheila, so... I'll talk to you later?

Yeah. Cool, yeah. See you later.

Wait, maybe we should put on some music?

What, are you gay? What?! No.

Well then, what's the problem? Come here.

Wait.

Is this about that ginger bitch?

What?

Well you've been acting weird ever since she rocked up tonight.

Don't call her a bitch.

Oh, my God. It is. You're mental, do you know that?

No, no, no. Yeah. I'm the mental one(!)

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, you...

Trying to impress your friends. They don't even like you!

Sorry, Leech! And where are all your mates?

Oh, yeah, you told the gay one

that everyone hates him and the rest of them fucked off!

Ninja Bags?

Seriously?

Where are you going?

See you around.

You're a wee freak, do you know that?

MUSIC ON TELEVISION

Sheila?

Knew you'd be up.

Did you?

I know your life story by now, Sheils.

I had a phone call this evening.

From Tommy.

Sheila...

I haven't spoke to him in years.

And then some interfering little madam like you comes along and...

..tries to make my decisions for me.

I was just trying to help.

You can't cope here on your own as it is.

How dare you?

I'm just saying.

I mean, I can't look after you. And I don't need you to!

Nor have I ever asked you to.

Get out.

Sheila...

Go on.

Get out!

Carly?!

I need to speak to Carly!

CARLY: It's fine, Shane. Give us a minute, will you?

I've ballsed everything up. Not just with you, with Conor.

Look, whatever it is, I'm sure you can fix it.

Yeah, but you don't know what I said to him.

You'll work it out. It's Conor!

Just talk to him.

It won't be as bad as you think.

Look at us. We're all right, aren't we?

I've been a complete prick.

Chasing after these freshers, this Ninja bollocks...

Look, I'm not asking you back or anything.

I know you're happy with Shane. Yeah, but...

Are YOU OK?

Come here.

You're a proper mate. You know that?

Look, I, um...

I better go.

OK.

Chris? Hm?

Happy birthday.

They took my laptop and my camera.

Look, I'll try and help you get it back.

We can go to the police station tomorrow

and see if they've found anything.

Jess, it's done, forget it.

Danny, I'm so sorry.

This is all my fault.

Everything.

I didn't want it to, like...

Jess...

We'll be OK.

We'll...

..work it out.

(I miss you.)

Yeah, I miss you too.

# I could hold you in the night

# Till this raging storm had passed

# We could lay down and listen

# To the rain

# Seems we're always on the run

# Spinning circles round this pagan sun

# But in the cold half-light of morning

# What remains?

# If I can't make you come back

# I can't make you come back

# This time... #

Holy...!

Yous were sent eviction notices in the post. Weeks ago.

What's this? I think we're homeless.

You're going with McCann?

It's just so you, Jess.

Is Conor here? Who's asking? His father.

He said he'd been hearing stories about what I'd been getting up to.

And he's coming up to sort things out.

# Slipping in and out of what you call life

# And it plays again and I can see him ending on a pale road

# And I died that day

# Makes no difference if they're opened or closed

# When you shake my hand, I'm a hero, I'm a hero

# And I'm dealing

# Yeah, I'm dealing fine. #
