[coughing/sputtering]

Oh my god, man. Are you alright?

Are you alright, man?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Sorry...

[gasping]

[vomiting]

Oh f***!

[water running]

I'm sorry for f***ing up your

night.

Yeah, well you did that.

Come on, get out.

I didn't mean it.

I just reckon she's no good for

you.

I think she's probably the best

thing that's ever happened to me.

She doesn't love you.

[punches]

What the f*** are you doing? Oh

f***!

I just can't stop feeling sad.

Oh, f*** you, Mik!

Mik!

What are you doing?

[kissing]

[phone ringing]

Illona, hi. You're calling

early.

Oh my god, when did this

happen?

Yeah, he's here.

Where are you?

Okay, we're coming now.

Look, we don't have all of the results

as yet. But things aren't looking good.

He's going to need full-time

care.

Your mother's outside on the

balcony.

Can you go grab her a coffee?

Hey, do you know

where I can find a coffee?

Yeah, it's-

[ambulance]

Well, hey there.

Hi.

I have to find coffee for my

mum. My ah,

my dad had a stroke.

Ah yeah, there's a coffee

machine just down there.

Have you got any coins?

I guess that's two you owe me!

I'm just f***ing with ya!

I hope your dad's okay. They're

good here.

Hey! I'm Sam.

I'm Mik.

Hey, Mik.

[beeping]

[whirring]

Ma!

Didn't know you smoked.

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

What would you have done?

I've f***ed everything.

Mik!

I'm sorry I made your life hard.

You wish I was dead and it was

Tomi that was here. I wish it too!

Every single day.

- Everything I do turns to sh*t.

- That's not true.

Bullshit!

Every time you look at me I remind

you that I ruined your life.

You don't know anything.

I'm hard on you because you need

it.

I look at you, I see myself at

your age and the mistakes I made.

[door creaking]

I want you to come and stay with

me.

You need someone to look after

you.

You don't love me.

- I'm worried about you.

- Please don't be.

I don't want that.

- I'm sorry.

- No. I'm sorry.

I don't love you either.

I'm not Tomi.

I'm never going to be.

You're better off without me.

[knocking]

[door unlocking]

That boy's here!

Back again!

Can I please stay here?

Gonna steal anything?

I have money.

What happened to you?

My brother died.

I never had a brother.

Do you live here?

No.

Just visiting.

I'm a ghost.

Have you done this before?

No.

So what happened to your family?

My dad is in hospital.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

Hold your arm tight.

Here.

What about your mum?

My mum!

She's not okay.

She f***ed my dad's brother.

It happened 18 years ago.

My uncle is my dad.

Everyone knows it, but

no-one talks about it.

[music]

You're a ghost too.

Ha! Better!

Come here.

Skin feels good.

[heavy breathing]

[vomiting]

I have to go.

Oh...

Stay.

Stay here with us.

We can all be together.

[tapping]

I can see you.

I'm not a ghost.

Neither are you.

You left this here.

What the f*** happened to you,

man?

Where have you been?

We were supposed to leave

tomorrow.

You still want to go!

What the f*** else am I going to

do?

What about Phaedra?

She's gone, man.

She won't return my phone calls.

Oh, you're not happy about that?

You should be, man.

You were right about her.

I'm sorry.

What for?

It's not your fault, man.

I mean you didn't f***ing help

things. But-

Dan, I'm sorry.

What the f*** did you do, man?

Did you-

Did you f*** her?

Oh my f***ing god!

Are you for real?

- You f***ed her to ruin it for me?

- It wasn't like that.

Oh yeah? What was it f***ing

like, man?

- Huh? What was it f***ing like?

- I didn't mean to.

I love you!

You love me?

You love me?

You love me so much you want to

destroy my chance at a life, huh?

[kisses]

Is that what you want, man?

Is that what you want, man?

[gasping]

Ah!

[heavy breathing]

Oh f***!

Mik!

Mik!

Mik!

Mik!

[thud]

Get away from me!

- Get away from me! It was me! It was me!

- Man, stop!

- I'm sorry, man.

- It's my fault!

There's something wrong with me!

- It's not your fault, man.

- It is my fault! I killed him!

He was angry,

he was running away from me.

I watched the f***ing car hit

him! I watched him die!

I killed him! [crying]

Ssshhh. It was an accident,

okay?

It's going to be okay, alright?

You and me.

We're going to be okay.

[door opening]

Mikls!

Thank you.

- Ma!

- Don't be silly!

I made you. I'm not embarrassed

to see you.

You loved the bath when you were

a baby.

You never wanted to get out.

[splashing]

Why didn't you just ever tell

me, mum?

That time when I left your

father,

when I was with Viktor,

oh that the happiest time of my

life.

I was so free!

But he didn't want me.

But you are right.

I should have told you.

I don't see a mistake when

I look at you, Mikls.

I see

the most precious memory.

I see me.

And I see my baby boy.

I miss him so much, mum!

Oh...

I know.

I miss him too.

But I will miss you too.

I know you are going.

Your brother told me.

I won't stop you.

You go

and you be happy, Mikls.

For me.

You go make your life what you

want.

[music]

[kisses]

I love you, dad.

[honking]

It's the big day.

Are you ready?

I'm not coming, man.

They need me here.

You sure?

I am.

It's like the first time in my

life I feel like I belong.

- I have to be here right now.

- I get it.

How am I going to get

in trouble without you, man?

I'm sure you'll manage.

I can't take that.

Take it.

You left this at mine.

[camera shutter]

I'll send it to you.

Send me a postcard from

somewhere good, yeah?

I will.

I'll be waiting for it.

Look after yourself, man.

You too.

I love you, bro.

[music]

Bye.
