Estranged Page #2

Well, the brain damage

might have something

to do with that, yeah.

So I'm making it up now.

It's all my fault.

No, I didn't say that.

Look, you...

You just need time

to adjust.

This is all new to you.

This has been hard

for me too, you know.

Hard for you?

I'm the one who can

hardly f***ing walk.

I'm the one who

can't remember anything.

Yeah, and I'm the one

who sat by your bedside

for four months.

Do you know how much sh*t

I've got to deal with?

Do you know how much sh*t

I've had to deal with

since you crashed the scooter?

F*** you.

Sh*t!

I'll find a way.

Thomas?

Is that you?

Yes, sir.

Get in here.

Callum?

Callum?

Callum?

Callum?

Where is he?

Who?

What did you say to him?

I asked him to leave.

He did.

He wouldn't.

I beg to differ.

Callum's not like that.

I made him an offer.

He took it.

He obviously didn't love you

as much as you thought.

Boys can be so mean.

I need to call him.

Phone's dead.

We didn't pay the bill.

One of you must have a mobile.

What for?

This is bullshit.

You're liars! Every...

That's enough!

You don't talk

to anyone like that.

Not at my table.

But I...

-You come back here

after all these years,

we allow

your worthless boyfriend...

-Don't call him that.

-You should be ashamed of yourself.

I am tired of you

behaving like an outsider.

You should never have left.

It's changed you.

You're not the same girl.

You're... you're not our Jan.

Your sister was doing

your washing the other day.

She came across a T-shirt.

You know what it said?

"Queen slut."

Do you know

what a slut is?

Why advertise yourself as one?

From now on, we are

going back to the old ways.

The way it was

before you left.

From now on, you will dress

as a proper girl.

Is that understood?

That boy was no good for you.

You need time to heal.

We are your family.

You don't need anyone else.

Don't you look pretty.

Jan, we were wondering...

We all do chores around here...

Thomas, bless him,

he can't do everything,

so we all pitch in.

I know you weren't very well,

but you can help out now.

It'll make you feel

like you're part of the family.

Might make you feel

closer to Mum.

Thomas.

Come here. Here. Here.

What are you doing?

Pick it up.

Oops-a-daisy.

Probably best

if you don't stand up. Careful.

Careful.

God, I'm so jealous of you.

I'd love a wheely chair.

Can you do tricks yet?

If I had a broken leg

or something

and had one of these,

first thing I'd be doing

is bunny hops

up and down the corridor.

When my head stops spinning,

I'll give it a go.

That bump on the noggin

really f***ed you up, didn't it?

Do you still smoke?

Yeah.

Laurence?

Yeah?

Why aren't you

and Katherine married?

'Cause we're brother

and sister?

You know what I mean.

Well, to be honest...

I don't know.

It's not like

I'm a virgin or anything.

I'm not ugly, am I?

You're not ugly.

There was a girl.

But I tried

to make it work.

But it didn't happen.

How about Katherine?

Some birds just

don't leave the nest.

You're definitely not a virgin.

How many?

I'm not telling you that.

Is it over 20?

I can't remember.

-I'll tell you how many I've had.

-I don't care.

Six. I've had six.

How many?

I'm not saying.

-Come on. You can tell me.

-No, I can't.

-I'm your bro.

-Are you?

You don't think so?

Well, you know how

we can prove it?

How?

Suck my cock.

It's not incest

if you don't think we're related.

And you did just say

I'm not ugly.

Is this a joke?

You tell me.

God, you really

are sick, aren't you?

When you were away,

I never stopped thinking about you.

I've never been out

of the county.

You've been all over the world.

I used to lie in bed

when I couldn't sleep

and imagine

what you were doing.

What you were seeing

at that very moment.

You saw some beautiful things,

didn't you?

Tell me about the places.

I can't.

I have flashes.

I can see things...

but it doesn't make sense.

I can...

see beaches...

and forests...

but there's nothing

personal to it.

It's... just air.

What a shame.

Such a waste of a life.

Good night.

-Mum?

-Yes?

Will you stay with me

for a bit?

It's pretty chilly.

Best if you stay here.

What's that for?

-See that field?

-Yeah?

In it, there's a large bull

whose testicles

I need to examine.

And I'm going to make sure

it's bloody unconscious

before I do so.

Back in a jiffy.

Put the radio on

if you like.

I'm okay.

He thinks he's a vet.

Come back. Come back to me now.

You are doing so well.

Good. That's it.

You could be a ballet dancer.

I'm so proud of you.

-Mum?

-Yes?

What's my favorite color?

I thought you ladies

might like some refreshment.

That's so sweet

of you, Thomas.

Thank you.

Okay.

Where's the nearest phone?

It's in the village.

Can you take me to it?

With your father's

permission, yes.

I don't need his permission.

Look, your father is

very protective of you in this state.

I need to ring Callum.

I don't think it's wise to be having

this conversation here, Miss.

All you have to do

is take me there.

I can look after myself.

Your family love you

very much.

You shouldn't disappoint them.

Now, is there anything else?

Jan?

January?

Jan?

Jan, are you in there?

I'm getting changed.

-Do you need a hand?

-No, I'm fine.

Are you f***ing deaf?

Go away!

I was only trying to help.

You don't have to be

a b*tch about it.

Jan, it's time for breakfast.

I'm sorry about

calling you a b*tch.

I didn't mean it.

We can go out today

if you want.

Go to the village.

Do some shopping.

Jan, this is silly.

Fine. Have it your way.

January?

I'm warning you.

Open this door at once.

Albert, you're scaring her.

Shut up.

I swear to God,

I will kick this door down

if you don't open

the door this minute!

Daddy...

Albert, stop it. Stop it.

January, open this door!

January...

I'm angry with you, darling.

Take all the time you want.

I love you.

January?

I'd really like

to hear your voice.

January, open this door!

Door! Door! Door!

In the room.

You're being

very stupid right now.

Keys.

Get in!

How far do you think

you're going to get?

Come on!

In.

Close the door.

You see what you've done?

I should have

f***ing killed her.

You can't. She's mine.

She held a knife

to your throat.

She's not well.

You're in so much trouble.

January, we're trying

to understand your situation.

It's very hard

for all of us.

You're not my dad.

He's not my brother.

And she is definitely not

my f***ing sister.

Dad!

You know you're not right

in the head, don't you?

I have proof.

Proof?

I'd like to see that.

I think we all would.

It's in my pocket.

Where did you get this?

I won't ask you again.

-You!

-Albert!

It wasn't him.

Albert!

If it wasn't for your mother,

you'd have been dead

the minute you walked

through the door.

My mum killed herself.

I know.

We were here.

Who are you?

People you thought

didn't matter.

Our lives weren't perfect,

but we coped

until your bastard father
