What Richard Did Page #4

Synopsis: What Richard Did follows Richard Karlsen, golden-boy athlete and undisputed alpha-male of his privileged set of South Dublin teenagers, through the summer between the end of school and the beginning of university. The world is bright and everything seems possible, until in one summer night Richard does something that destroys it all and shatters the lives of the people closest to him. What Richard Did is a quietly devastating study of a boy confronting the gap between who he thought he was and who he proves to be.

Yeah. Great. I'll hold.

Morning, Richard.

Thank you so much for coming in

I couldn't see because

a lot of people had come over

and were gathering around

to see what was going on.

And where was Conor during this'?

Again, I'd found my girlfriend

at that point

and she was wanting to leave,

so... we went off together.

And did you see Conor

at any stage after mat'?

No.

I have to ask you, Richard,

how did you get that bruise?

In training. I'm a rugby player.

HEY...

I'm glad you came.

You're worried I'm gonna crack.

That's why you wanted m do this

Yeah.

And I warned to see you.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry I dragged you into this.

- You didn't make me hit him, UK

I haven't eaten in two days.

Do you wanna go and get some food?

Please don't call me again. Bight'!

I don't want to have anything

to do with you. I just...

...can't

- Cian

Please. Just don't

- Aisling said you'd called.

- Yeah.

I was... You just sounded

a bit busy, you know.

Yeah, well...

- Can I sit?

- Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Thank you, kind sir.

The tree house.

You were on and on about that,

you know?

"Can we get a tree house?

when can we get a tree house?"

You know, I just couldn't help you

at that point.

I was... I wasn't up to it.

So you just... started it yourself.

You must have been, what, ten? Nine?

Nine years. Nine years. Nine years old.

You...

...were dragging out the planks

from the shed

and digging in the posts,

and eventually I had to help you, so...

Remarkable little boy.

You didn't let me drag you down.

That's a great instinct, son.

Don't change that now.

Don't

I know that.. your mates

mean everything to you, but

there's gotta be a limit

to loyalty, son.

Dad,... don't

were you there...

...when it happened to Conor?

It wasn't the fight they said.

I was away from all that with Lara

and we were having a row.

Caner stepped in.

He was just constantly all over her.

And... I told him 10 back off

and he hit me.

So the lads jumped in

just to sort him out.

And...

it just got out of hand

Which lads?

Stephen and Cian

OK.

UK. OK.

Good, son. Thank you.

Thank you.

Dad, I did ii. It was me. I kicked him

in the head and I killed him.

No. No.

No!

No. No!

I'm so sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry.

I killed him.

No. No.

What do I do?

I'm sorry. I...

I'm sorry.

HEY...

I've been thinking that maybe

you should go away for a while.

Go to the beach house.

Sure, yeah. Of course

- Yeah?

Great.

I'll let Mum know you're going.

Bring your phone...

if I wanna get in contact

Dad.

Hey. Hey...

So how have you been?

Fine.

I've been talking In somebody.

I won'! tell you who um...

...it seems that the investigation

is focusing on this thing with

the gate-crashers outside me house

And that there are

no separate inquiries or suspects

That's what he said.

Dad, does Mum know about any of this?

No.

- No.

- mum.

Can I some home now, Dad?

Is that OK?

Yeah, of course.

Your mother wants me to bring

the linen home, so...

- HEY-

- HEY...

- Is everybody inside?

Don't worry, Dad's waiting for you

Come here.

A few of us are going to the nets

if you wanna come down after.

Listen, I should probably get inside,

OK? See you.

You alright, man?

- Hey.

- Hey, Rich.

- You alright?

- How are you'?

Grab a few drinks there

You alright, Rich'?

Have we all got a drink?

I know you're all hurting

at the moment.

But we're a team and teams pull together

through the tough times.

And I know you're all missing Conor,

and you're all angry

about what happened to him,

but for now, let's just take a moment

to say goodbye to a friend

and a great team-mam

Goodbye to Conor.

To Donor.

Raglan men are we

Faithful for our call

Valiant and brave we're standing

Steadfast one and all

Victory is ours to claim

But honor is our goal

We never will surrender truth

on this our sacred soil

Come on, Raglan! Come on!

Come on, Raglan! Come on, Raglan!

I think, perhaps.

- No.

Sweet one.

They were all asking him questions

and he's going,

"Yeah, yeah," and then out of nowhere,

he just goes...

Hear about the guy who was playing rugby

and got one his balls ripped off?

- This is an awful topic.

It's a friend of mine's friend.

He took a really high tackle

and there was, like,

a whoosh and just... One of his balls...

It was apparently dangling

by the string.

No, stop it. Stop it.

Sorry, man.

So disgusting.

They were like, "Why is he screaming?"

- I got a splinter.

- Where? Let's see.

Oh, my God. Sh*t.

Have you tried getting it out?

Yes. Can you not see that I've gored it?

Look at the stale of it

- You did it badly. I'd know.

- Would you?

- Yeah.

- You're the Queen of Splinters?

Alright I'm gonna head. School.

Oh, right, take it easy, man

See you later on, right?

- Bye, honey.

- See you.

Oh, my God.

Whoa.

I have to pee.

"A great prophet has appeared

among us," they said.

"A great prophet has appeared

among us," they said.

"God has come to help his people."

This news about Jesus

A handful.
