Secret Bridesmaids' Business (2019) s01e02 Episode Script

1
A toast.
ALL: Happy cancerversory.
I'm so glad I didn't die.
Olivia,
will you marry me?
(CHEER)
Do I even have to ask?
Bridesmaids?
As if I'd ask anyone else!
Oh my god!
I wish your mum was still alive,
I would have really liked her
to have been here.
It's been wonderful,
but I don't think
I can see you anymore.
It's a shame, I was just thinking
how much I like you.
I'm sorry, I should have told
you but I'm married.
When I went into treatment
and the winery was struggling,
Saskia came on-board as an investor.
I wish you hadn't told
anybody about the money,
it was
supposed to be between us.
It was a small fortune
and you saved us.
You handled our Griffin Brooke
defamation case?
I did.
They're missing the paperwork
for the settlement.
Well
I know I sent it over.
Can you send another copy
to my office?
Shit.
Melanie!
Hi.
Hi.
Jakob Novak.
Oh, hi.
I'm not having an affair
with Nicole, period.
You've got an ulterior motive
and we both know what it is.
Don't you try turn this round on me.
You're
in love with her too.
Alex had an affair with Nicole.
It
Was after your seizure,
we didn't think
you were gonna make it.
I really wanted you
to tell me it didn't happen.
That was full on.
What
are you doing here?
Oh, you look so fucking hot.
Adultery, can be so destructive.
How could you not tell me?
How long have you known?
As soon as we figured he was
bottling it, we told you.
I'm so sorry.
Did you have to wait
until I had the big
expensive meringue dress on?
Three more. Please.
OK, granted, our
timing was not optimal.
But at least now you know
he's a dick.
He is.
He's such a dick.
A toast to Alex.
The dick!
ALL: The dick!
I disagree,
sometimes people cheat
because of the way they feel
about themselves.
It's
not always about sex.
Are you kidding?
It's
always about the sex.
Sometimes it's a bit more
complicated.
It's Cheating 101.
And since
when are you the expert?
I might
not be a hot shot lawyer
but I'm not allowed to have
my own opinion?
OK, OK, truce.
This is my pity party
and you're still my bridesmaids.
Oh Liv, hey.
Why
don't you come with me?
We can do school pick up,
I'll make dinner.
We can
put Michael on kid duty.
Come on,
just you and me.
And Saskia too,
if you want.
I haven't
got my last tetanus shot.
No, I'm not drunk enough yet.
Are
you sure about that?
You know what,
I've got her.
You go be mummy.
Let's go
back to the tequila place.
No, they were rude.
Did they kick us out?
No,
they kicked you out.
Did you tell them
my fiance fucked my cancer nurse?
You told them plenty.
Wait, what did you do to Melanie?
I knew you two
would kill each other.
She left hours ago
to play good parent.
I forgot what a hideous
drunk you are.
What's wrong with me?
How didn't I see this happening?
Livy.
There's
nothing wrong with you, OK.
You're a goddess.
One day you'll meet someone
who treats you
exactly
the way you deserve.
I really do love you, Saskia.
Paula in a grey Toyota
is approaching here.
Home time.
No.
Come with me.
I own a winery you know,
I get free drinks.
Or we can go to that whiskey place
with the hot lady bartender
that you love to hate?
Bribery and coercion?
Text
me when you're home.
Kitchen's closed.
I'm
not here for the food.
Hey, can we talk please?
Right now I can't even
look at you.
We used to talk about this.
I can't lose you.
No, leave me alone.
You need to go.
Sounds
like you should leave.
Mum,
we're gonna be late!
Again.
You OK?
Yeah, I'm just, I'm really worried
about Alex and Olivia.
They're solid,
they'll come back from this.
Mum,
we're gonna be late.
MMDL Landscaping,
Michael speaking.
Hi, Michael Heyward to see
Jakob. Here he is.
Morning. The
'Jamie Oliver' of gardens.
So Melanie's been in your
ear I suppose.
She's a passionate firecracker
that's for sure.
Let me show you around,
we can have a little chat.
28 missed calls and 12 texts.
Points
for persistence.
We
Don't give points for that.
I have to call him.
No you don't.
And you're
not going back to him.
That's
not for you to say.
If you think that
you can get past this
She
deserves to be happy.
What if
Alex makes her happy?
OK, I'm sitting right here.
I just want to know what happened.
The thought of speaking to him
makes me so mad.
Well, you should talk
to that tramp Nicole?
Ok, now we're slut shaming?
Very classy.
If you want to know the
truth about Alex,
you should go straight
to the source.
Mikey.
I've just been with
your friend Jakob.
What?
You're such a liar.
A liar
..what did he say?
I think you should come home
right now.
OK.
Is everything alright?
Yeah, it's just Michael
needs me at home.
Just, don't let Saskia
talk you into anything
that
you don't want to do.
I'm saying
marriage is a contract.
And you should do your
due diligence.
Well, I don't know
what you said to him.
I don't know the first thing
about Japanese courtyard gardens.
Sorry?
Jakob.
He wants me to landscape
the whole village.
Ten townhouses to start.
Thought we'd get some bubbly
and oysters to celebrate.
The townhouses, that's,
that's amazing.
I know, it's a big day.
You sure you want to work
for a guy like that babe?
Well, he's just thrown
a truckload of money at me.
Yeah, but maybe just have
a think about it, you know?
What
about all your other clients?
Exactly what we need
has just fallen into our laps.
And who do we have to thank for it?
Uh-huh.
Yes, I'll take care of it.
Christof Delis, you
promised him a judgment doc?
Tell him we'll courier it over.
Why
don't I grab it now?
It will
save you the hassle.
Prani, let me call you back.
I'm sorry, Uzma split
with her man-child boyfriend
it's been chaos
amid the heartbreak.
Is there a problem
I should be made aware of?
Christof, thought you'd be out
on your super yacht.
You
know it's only a dingy.
You two know each other, Of course.
What brings you here?
A judgement that's gone MIA.
No, you'll have it this afternoon.
I'll have Alex to run it
over on his bike.
Come on,
I'll let you buy lunch.
For everyone who walks
through that door,
it's who they are
and who they want to be.
You have to make them believe.
Here we go.
I'll be back in a tick.
Perfect timing.
There's a double shower in the new
build I'm dying to test drive.
I'll get the keys
and meet you downstairs in five.
Why are
you toying with Michael?
He's so excited, he's
dropping his other clients.
Well, that makes sense.
He'll be run off his feet here.
So,
it's real, the job?
I thought you might be grateful.
Oh, I was just worried
that I hurt your feelings.
I'm sorry?
You know, you took the break
up kind of badly.
Not that I don't appreciate
the flowers and everything
You can't be this clueless.
Melanie, you are a pity fuck.
What?
It's too funny.
Too funny?
You
know what's funny?
I
Faked every orgasm.
It's no worries.
You
slept with my boyfriend?
Oh, OK.
Come over here.
You were my friend.
I'm so sorry.
I stepped over the line.
It's no excuse,
but this job messes with your head.
So, you're shagging everyone's
boyfriends then?
Occupational hazard?
Hold on to your men everyone.
He was afraid.
That's all it was.
He's one of the good ones.
You know that,
otherwise you wouldn't be here.
You
fell in love with him?
It's you he loves.
(DOOR BELL)
What are you doing here?
So,
you're getting married?
Congratulations.
Nice place.
Nice things.
Olivia,
she's so pretty.
You
look good together.
Don't you think
she'd like to meet your mum?
My mother is dead.
How much for her
to stay that way?
Good night, darling.
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
Night.
Love you.
So who's 'J',
he's not your secret lover is he?
J?
Yeah, I found a torn piece of card
near the bin,
"Kisses, J."
Oh, that was Janine.
She sent me flowers
'cause I fixed a colour
for
one of her tricky clients.
See, I told you,
you're her star stylist.
I've missed this.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Uzma!
Here's Christof's judgement
ready to go.
Is it odd that I couldn't find this
anywhere on the server?
Could you not?
Why's it on your computer
but not anywhere else?
Maybe get IT onto it.
Or maybe I missed it,
dealing with my man-child boyfriend.
Just get it over to Christof.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
You OK?
Yeah.
Just um, just
a possum in the lemon tree.
I'll get another load.
You're a machine.
I'm going to mention
you in my speech.
Which one's that?
When we shock the shit
out of the Millano Brothers
and win Young Guns
of Wine this year.
Now, that's what we're
up to is it?
Yeah, our Tempranillo
is as good as anyone's.
Better,
otherwise, why bother?
Olivia, sweetheart,
you're bleeding.
Oh.
Here.
Thanks.
Should I call Dr Reid?
It's just a blood nose,
dad.
Have you got it now?
I think so.
Really?
No, hang on.
(LAUGHS) You've
had that for over a year.
Hi, Mum.
We're going home.
You need one of these!
Oh yeah? My turn?
See, doesn't he look
handsome? (KNOCK ON THE DOOR)
Yeah.
Libby darling.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Can I get you anything?
No, yeah, I'm fine,
I'm fine, I promise.
I'm just so angry,
mum.
Yeah, I know.
Relationships are messy,
never perfect.
Even the ones that seem
the strongest.
I left your father once.
You
never told me that.
When?
This was before you were born.
I wasn't sure,
and so I ran.
And I made a big mistake.
And I hurt your father.
So very much.
Oh mum.
But he came and got me
and he would not let me go,
Such a pig-headed man.
Lucky for me, he is.
You know, I think Alex
is a lot like Bill.
It's just I'm not ready
to forgive him.
It doesn't mean that you can't.
One day.
Ah, always on time
when money's involved.
10,000.
And go back to the Gold Coast,
Olivia never meets you.
We're done here.
I know what I am.
I
Don't have to like it.
How about camping
at Apollo Bay next weekend?
Well, I've got a new job
and I just got back.
Your
mum will take the kids.
Look.
Just the two of us.
Like all good.
Pre-kids.
What's this all about?
It'll
be good for us.
How
about Christmas time?
Once I got Jakobs' village
bedded down.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Can
you see who that is?
MAN: Oh, you are
so fucking hot.
Who was it?
Just spam.
I deleted it.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I'm starving.
OK.
Sims north metro.
We don't have room.
Yeah,
yeah, I'll hold.
Yep, how can I help?
Hi.
I just
I
Think I have a stalker.
Alright.
What makes you think
he's stalking you?
He was outside
my house last night.
Any witnesses?
Just me.
Did he make a specific threat
to your personal safety?
He sent a video
to my husband of me,
does that count?
Having sex?
No.
Nudity?
No,
he's just so insistent.
He keeps
sending me flowers
and teddy bears.
And he
Sound more like a boyfriend
than a stalker.
He isn't an ex,
is he?
Sort of.
I'm just worried about
what he might do next.
Without evidence
of an actual offense
our
hands are pretty much tied.
You need
to keep an incident log.
But if you want to make it official,
we can start a file on this guy now.
What's his name?
No.
It's OK, I'll just have a
think, I guess.
Thanks.
Wait,
I need your details.
Stay the
hell away from us, Jakob.
I've been to the police,
I gave them your name.
You just stay away!
OK?
Just stay away.
Hey, boss.
More.
Guess
who they're from.
You got a preferred spot
you want 'em?
Bin's over there.
Ah, OK.
Last chance.
Nope?
Do
We send the ducks too?
Cranes.
No.
They're for good luck.
In Japan, when you make
1,000 paper cranes
you can wish
for anything you want.
Do they work
in Australia as well?
They
did the last time.
Yeah, well, what are
you gonna wish for then?
Wouldn't
wanna ruin it.
Yeah.
What about you?
What would you wish for?
Ah,
I wouldn't wanna ruin it.
Alright.
Thank you.
Isabella.
Mummy.
Yep.
I'm hungry,
can we get ice-cream?
Sure, grab your ball.
Grab your ball.
I'm hot,
that's perfect then.
Kids
playdate tomorrow?
Hey, hey, come on darling,
let's go.
Mae-Ling?
Hey, did you have a fight
with Coco?
No.
You sure?
Yeah.
Jemma is Mae-Ling OK?
You can't post that
and not expect a reaction.
What do you mean?
I never thought
you were a racist.
I'm not!
Mummy,
what's a racist?
I'll
explain in the car.
No!
No, no, no, no, no!
Mummy, what's wrong?
Mummy's
just being silly.
Let's
go get your sister.
Dumplings.
Spaghetti.
You don't even like spaghetti!
Wouldn't kill you
to let her decide.
Pasta's over there.
I'm not eating pasta,
it's just empty carbs.
Wow, attitude!
Oh, great.
Lucy!
Lucia!
Have you seen my kids?
They're 12 and five, two girls?
No, sorry.
Girls!
Girls!
Oh, funny one, isn't she?
Hey.
Girls.
Come to me.
Mum,
he's your friend.
Yeah, it's fine Melanie,
they got lost.
Stay away from them.
Mum.
Don't you ever
come near my kids again
Well, they're just wandering
by themselves.
Oh, mummy,
you're hurting me.
Whoa, Melanie.
I need your help.
Melanie,
you had sex.
You felt good about yourself
for five minutes,
don't
beat yourself up.
It's the way he looked at me.
No one's looked at me
like that for ages.
It was electrifying.
You don't deserve
to be punished for it.
Really?
You wanna string Alex up
for the same thing.
That's different.
You're a good person.
That might be the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.
Well,
I wouldn't
normally admit this,
but I've always been
vaguely impressed
with how
you handle all of this.
Job, kids, husband.
Am I?
When are
you going to tell Olivia?
Not now.
She's got too much going on
with Alex, I can't.
You've
got a lot going on too.
Why is he doing this to me?
Because he's a psycho
you de-balled in public.
What if I apologise
or something?
Maybe he'd stop, it'd blow over?
Melanie, you
need to listen to me.
You have
to stay away from him.
Men like him hurt
women everyday.
But
Women
who think it'll blow over
But I can't just do nothing.
You can tell Michael.
No.
No.
He might leave me.
He might take the kids.
OK.
Then you stay calm and keep
a logbook, like the cop said.
Don't
react if he provokes you.
And maybe in an attention vacuum,
he'll lose interest.
If he doesn't?
Then you call me.
OK, anything happens
and you call me.
Thanks.
Olivia.
I don't wanna talk to you.
I wanna
tell you I made a mistake.
A huge mistake,
I realise that.
I don't expect you
to forgive me for what I did.
I could never
do something like that to you.
I wanna fix this.
Tell
me how I can fix it.
You can't Alex!
You can't uncheat on me,
you can't unfuck Nicole.
It's done!
Olivia,
it's still me.
I'm still the same man
you said, "Yes" to.
You're not the same, Alex.
Nothing is the same.
I can't trust you now!
I just don't understand
how in that worst moment
in our lives,
the thing you needed most was sex
with someone you barely knew.
No, I
I
Wanted to numb the pain.
I
I
Felt completely alone.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You look like shit.
(KNOCKING)
Alright, who ate all the yoghurt?
And put the tub back?
Wow,
what's with the makeover?
Hey, can you take the kids
to school?
Why?
Where are you going?
Melanie,
where are you going?
It's OK, there's just something
I've got to do.
What?
It's Christof.
He has questions about the
judgement you sent over.
(PHONE RINGING)
Melanie, shouldn't you be making
school lunches or something?
He's been inside the house, Saskia.
While the kids were asleep.
Calm down. We talked about this.
Don't do anything rash.
I'm going to his office.
I have to talk to him.
Bollocks.
A tailor-made house-and-land
package for one low price.
What's not to love?
The creep, shagging your wife
on the kitchen bench
and stalking your kids
while they sleep.
I'm so sorry.
How can you Instagram
trying to ruin your marriage?
Great. Well done.
Are you happy now?
ERIC: Jakob, do you want me
to call the police?
If you come near my house again,
I will kill you.
Melanie,
this has to stop.
The texts,
the false accusations,
I'm
worried about you.
Well, that's crap.
It's the kids I feel for, having
a mother fall apart like this.
You're the nut job.
Melanie.
Melanie.
Come with me.
Thank you.
No, he's gonna get away with this.
Come on, listen.
I'll drive you home.
I'm so sorry.
It's embarrassing.
Melanie.
Yeah?
I'm fine.
I can drive.
Alright.
Straight home.
Bath.
Loads of wine. OK?
Yeah.
OK.
SASKIA: Melanie, no!
Melanie?
Welcome
to Cotterill Wines.
You
waiting for someone?
No, my best mate's gone to
the brewery instead.
Left
me for a Pale Ale.
Ditched
you for a beer.
And not even a real beer
- a Pale Ale.
Taking the piss, all part of the
Cotterill experience, is it?
Jakob Novak.
Olivia Cotterill.
Uh,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
Start with whites?
I'm more of a red man,
myself.
We
Have a great Pinot Noir.
No, I hear you have
a killer Tempranillo.
