Wedding Season (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Wait, uh, what about your boyfriend?
Hugo's not my boyfriend. He's my fiance.
Armed police! Hands in the air!
Show me your hands!
Stefan tried to crash
Katie McConnell's wedding.
I object!
A few hours later
at the reception,
eight guests were poisoned.
All members of the Delaney family.
Your Katie's new in-laws.
And her new husband.
Katie McConnell did a runner
as soon as her new family dropped dead.
Where is she now, Stefan?
Where the fuck is she?
Hi.
What are you doing?
Everyone here is looking for you.
- Jump!
- I can't.
I mean, like, they've arrested me.
They're saying you're a mass murderer.
I saw a board in there
that looks like the fucking Wire!
Take the leap.
Oh, fuck!
Are we absolutely sure
this is Katie McConnell's apartment?
I haven't found anything.
There's nothing in the fridge
except a Petit Filous.
Place is a showroom.
A ghost house for a ghost.
There's no personal touches.
Except some art
that's gonna give me actual nightmares.
I mean, for the love of God,
why?
I mean, who is this person?
You'd probably like it more
if you were about to marry the artist.
Or murder him.
She must know she wouldn't inherit
the Delaneys' money
if she was suspected of murder.
Maybe she's a psycho.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
- Tell me some good news.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm in no place to confirm any names,
but we are
Hey! Do you wanna hear this or not?
What I can say
is that we are in the process
of locating a red Austin Maestro,
last caught on the ANPR on the M90
heading north of Edinburgh.
Any members of the public
who believe they have information
should contact the incident line.
But I would remind the public
that these suspects
are considered dangerous
and are not to be approached.
I want to reassure everyone
we are using all the resources
at our disposal
to find these two suspects.
And we will.
Where are we, Katie?
Good morning to you too.
You told me you would tell me
what the hell is going on.
And I would have
if you hadn't fallen asleep
for the whole drive.
Well, that does tend to happen
after a massive adrenaline rush.
- Okey-dokey.
- Uh, what are you doing?
What are you Katie? Katie?
Katie, Katie!
Okay. You're mad. You're actually insane.
They're looking for the car, I had to.
I had to get rid of it.
And what's the plan now?
There's a village
about two miles walk from here.
No, as in, like,
how do we get out of this?
Because I have been arrested,
my career has imploded,
I am a wanted fugitive.
I didn't ask to go on the run.
Why did you bring me in on this?
What are you laughing at?
What?
What? What's wrong?
What Whoa, whoa. Oh, hey
No, no, it's okay.
It's okay Okay, okay, okay, sit down.
Hey, hey, come here, come here, come here.
Sit down, sit down.
Katie, sit down. It's okay.
- Look at me. Look at me.
- I can't breathe.
You're having a panic attack, okay?
- I'm going to die.
- No, you're not.
You're not gonna die.
You're not gonna die.
It's a panic attack. Look at me.
You're gonna breathe with me, all right?
In and out.
In and out. Slow. Slowly. Okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Okay.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Hey.
Hey.
You need to tell me what's going on.
Okay.
I genuinely know as much as you do.
All those people died at my wedding
and everyone thinks I did it.
Okay.
What are we doing here?
Stefan.
There are layers to this, all right,
that you just don't know about.
The Delaney family aren't what they seem.
They have so many enemies.
And someone's made very sure
that I'm going down for this,
unless we can figure out
what's really going on.
I brought us here so we could talk
to the one man
who might be able to help us do that.
Great. Who's that?
Uncle Fred.
Uncle Fred?
Yeah.
- We should go.
- Where?
Please, Katie, listen.
I took the Hippocratic Oath.
Not killing people
is pretty much my thing.
Maybe my biggest thing.
Look, I need to know.
Did you kill all those people?
- Stefan!
- No!
I need to know.
Did you kill all those people?
No. I did not kill all those people.
We really need to go.
I'd be totally fine
if it was a one-time thing.
- You definitely wouldn't!
- I would!
Just not having her number, you know?
It's like being in limbo.
I just wanna know what it meant.
I think it meant
she's getting married to Hugo,
- so it couldn't be more of a dead end?
- Exactly.
If it's not meant to be,
it's not meant to be.
You can't force fate.
Please, I'm a man of science.
I don't believe in fate.
Really?
We are on our way to Lorna's wedding.
Lorna. The only other person
unluckier in love than you.
- Or you.
- Shut the fuck up.
Anyway, how how do you explain
Lorna getting hitched
without fate having a hand in it?
Because I've
No, I don't think this wedding is gonna be
a strong argument for fate, to be honest.
- Why?
- Why why would you say that?
Nothing. Just He's quite a lot older.
That's cold.
And that her mom hates him so much,
she's refusing to come.
Right.
And he was her driving instructor.
Come on.
I think that girl is literally cursed.
Wait, didn't her last boyfriend
vanish at sea?
- Potentially.
- Okay, all right. This is ridiculous.
There is no such thing as curses
and there's no such thing as fate.
Hi.
Hi.
Great chat you two have.
Are you going to Lorna's wedding?
I don't know who that is.
I, um I've got a thing.
- Cool.
- Maybe I'll see you later.
Yeah.
- Cool.
- Cool.
That was weird, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should get a move on.
We're gonna be late.
I hate everyone coming in
and looking at you like that.
"Maybe I'll see you later," she said.
I mean, that means I should go and see her
at the wedding she's at now, right?
I think it means
you should stay at the wedding
that you're actually invited to.
- Yeah, but what about, like, fate, though?
- I thought you were a man of science.
I am complex, Jackson, that's what I am.
Uh, guys, did you know
this wedding was dry?
- What?
- Apparently Lorna's groom's in AA.
Oh, God.
We are leaving
the second the ceremony ends.
Shh, shh, shh. It's starting.
Oh, my God.
Doesn't she look proper happy, though?
Maybe the curse is finally broken.
I'm sorry.
I I can't.
- Do you think this means we can go?
- Shut the fuck up.
Hey, Floyd's gonna be right back.
I think he probably just, um
uh, forgot something, so
if you could just stay
exactly where you are, 'cause
Floyd's gonna be right back.
She's getting in the car.
She sat in the car.
Oh, my God. This is a sign.
Fate literally stopped this wedding
so I can go and see Katie.
All right, I'm gonna go.
Well, you can't just crash
someone else's wedding.
Yeah, yeah, of course you can,
if you bring us back some booze. Please.
Oh, my God, Stefan,
you have to go crash that wedding.
I really don't think Lorna would
appreciate you bailing at this
Relax.
It's not gonna cause
an international incident
if Stefan steps out for half an hour.
Anything else for you, love?
Uh, nope. Nope, all good.
Just these. Thank you.
Katie, we're on the front page
of every single paper.
- We need to get out of here, now.
- Working on it.
Are you stealing this bike?
Did you buy those?
Yes, because I don't just take
what I want.
- With cash?
- No, I did the tap.
Stefan
they can track your card.
How could you be so stupid?
Okay, you know what, I've had enough
of being treated like an idiot.
If you're gonna push a car off a cliff
or steal someone's bike,
- we need to talk about it first.
- You always wanna talk.
- And we don't have time for that.
- Look.
Either you start listening to me or
- Or what?
- Or, I don't know,
maybe I give us up to the police?
Engine trouble?
Yes, that's it. Engine trouble.
Oh, that's the worst. And Gavin,
our mechanic, is off on holiday.
In Lanzarote.
- Lucky for some, you know.
- Yeah.
I could give you a lift, if you like?
Oh, no, that's
That's settled then. Come on.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
You know, again,
we really don't mind walking.
- You know, get some exercise.
- Oh, I won't hear of it.
Listen. It'll take you all day.
What did you say the address was?
- Gull
- Gull House.
Oh, that sounds familiar.
Oh, Fred Delaney's place!
That's the one.
Uncle Fred is a Delaney?
I'm surprised you know the place.
Old Delaney is a real recluse.
What brings you up to visit him?
Oh, you know.
I have no idea.
Right, so the last CCTV sighting
had them crossing the Firth Of Forth,
so they're not trying to fly out
of Glasgow or Edinburgh.
- Unless they're trying to throw us off.
- No.
I'd reckon that they're trying to
they're trying to hide out
or they're trying to find a port.
Ah, in which case, they could be
they could be anywhere.
Yeah, they're not running anywhere,
are they?
You know what I mean? Like, New Zealand.
I mean, obviously, not New Zealand, no.
Or Narnia. Maybe they're
in the Lost City of Atlantis.
Maybe they're there.
Are you being weird with me?
You sound like you're 12.
You do this every time
something like last night happens.
No, I don't.
I just feel like there's a reason
that this thing keeps happening
between us, that's all.
Yeah, there's a pretty simple explanation.
I was depressed
- Oh, brilliant.
- because I let a suspect
from the biggest case of my career escape.
Yeah? We got drunk
I just, if
You know, it feels a bit like
like fate to me.
That's all.
Obviously Oh, forget about it.
Oh, shit, take the next exit.
Why?
Stefan Bridges just used his debit card
in a shop
about 90 miles north of Edinburgh.
He used his debit card?
Honestly.
Sometimes I think
this guy is a criminal mastermind,
and sometimes I think
he's just a fucking idiot.
He's a fucking idiot.
Wow.
So I actually thought
that blood diamonds were red,
but it turns out
they just look like real diamonds.
- Oh. Oh, no.
- I know.
Well, how how do you tell
the difference?
So the blood ones are actually cheaper.
So, what's the point in a blood diamond?
- Mary, Hugo. Mingle, please.
- Daddy!
I need a moment with Katie.
You enjoying the party?
- Yes. It's so beautiful
- Shame this is as long
as it lasts for you.
- I had a background check done.
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
I've had a file presented to me.
Do you know what was in it?
Nothing.
Isn't that good?
Most people leave a footprint
in this world, Katie.
My team couldn't find anyone that knew you
before three years ago.
I'm just a very private person.
Private people don't deliberately mislead
their new families.
You told me you were a student
at the Institut Matterhorn
when you were younger.
- I did.
- There's no record of you.
You could be anyone.
I need to protect my family.
Well
maybe you should start by hiring people
who know how to do their jobs.
- Excuse me?
- So the school didn't keep proper records?
Big deal.
But one of my old classmates is standing
literally right behind you. Excuse me.
Hey. I thought I'd drop by, you know,
you said "maybe see you later"
- Emphasis on maybe. Listen
- Look, I just wanted to say that I
I know obviously we had this spark,
and I don't know,
maybe, like, something like fate agrees,
because I mean,
I'm literally next door at a wedding,
and you're here at a wedding
Yeah, this isn't a wedding,
this is my engagement party.
Oh, my God. Uh Well, I'm so sorry,
uh, okay? I I will leave.
No. No, no. I need you to stay.
I need you to convince my father-in-law
we went
to a Swiss boarding school together
- What? What?
- Robert? This is Stefan.
We studied together
at Institut Matterhorn.
Hello. Hi. Yeah. In Switzerland.
In the Alps!
Were you a boarder or a day student?
Uh, boarder, yeah.
That's how, uh, me and Katie first met.
My parents dumped me there
the first chance they got.
And who are your parents?
Uh, Leslie.
Which one?
Both of them?
It's their surname.
It's what he's trying to say.
- He's just a joker.
- Yeah, just kidding there. Uh, yeah.
But you wouldn't know them
because they moved to Australia.
Uh, a long time ago.
Katie, this conversation isn't over.
Of course.
- "Leslie"?
- I don't know, I panicked.
- Just Leslie?
- He's like posh Thanos. What do you want?
Okay. I'm going to leave now.
You're not leaving.
You're my childhood friend now,
and you're gonna help me sell that.
It's the least you could do
for barging in here.
- Uh, yeah, okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Go team.
Go team.
- Hey.
- Where's our booze, Stef?
- It's miserable over here.
- Yeah, and Lorna won't let anyone leave.
It's like Dog Day Afternoon
but with a woman who once got dumped
by her second cousin.
Yeah, and Suji's gone
to the other end of the scale
and is now flirting with a senior citizen.
He spent half an hour
telling me about dating someone from ABBA.
Yeah, I mean, obviously I was devastated
when Agnetha ended it, but, uh
we'll still have the song
she named after me.
- "Fernando"?
- "Fernando".
- But your name is Arthur.
- That's right.
Please come back now. With vodka.
I I can't right now, okay?
I'm I'm
I'm kinda in over my head here.
- We really dodged a bullet there.
- Dodged a bullet?
We're walking towards one.
Another Delaney?
Are you trying to get us killed?
Hold up!
- Get ready to run.
- Okay.
Do you's want this?
The minute
that police officer needs the loo,
he's gonna read his paper, see our faces,
and come back with the shitting cavalry.
- We'll be quick.
- So will all the police in Scotland!
Stop!
Katie, this feels wrong to me.
Like, what if Uncle Fred is in on it?
Stefan, he's my only hope
of finding out what happened. Please.
As soon as you meet him, you'll get it.
Last Christmas, we stayed up
all night drinking whiskey,
talking shit about the rest of the family.
He's not like them. You'll see.
He checks in on me. He's really sweet.
Plus he's vegan! He wouldn't hurt a fly.
Jesus! Oh, my God. Okay!
He's trying to kill us.
Katie?
He was aiming high.
Thank God I missed.
Okay.
Darling girl,
I'm so glad you're all right.
I've seen what they're saying
in the papers, and I don't believe a word.
I know you didn't do it.
Thank you.
Sorry about the
you know.
But they've killed eight Delaneys.
I won't let them make it nine.
Come through. Come through.
Thirty minutes and way less
if he tries to shoot us again.
Katie actually won the yodeling cup,
two years in a row.
Yes. I am a champion yodeler.
- I take it very seriously.
- The goats love her.
Remember when we got snowed in
that one Christmas?
Yes, 1998. Storm Elsa, they called her.
Fun fact, they named that storm
after our kindergarten teacher.
Who later turned out to be a cop.
- You all right there?
- Yeah. Mm-mm.
So, what do you do?
You dickhead.
- A kindergarten cop?
- That's a classic.
You have to be at least kind of plausible.
You're going to get me in trouble.
- Okay, all right. Okay.
- I'm serious.
I'll tone it down, all right?
Uh, but I will say this.
Lying to your in-laws?
Not a healthy way to start a marriage.
Oh, shit, Hugo.
Uh, okay, it's okay. We met before.
He never remembers me.
Hi, mushy!
Well I know all about you two.
- Uh Yeah.
- Friends from school, right? Yeah.
- Uh, Jo Stefan.
- Stefan.
Oh, finally get to meet one of her mates,
it's a bloody bloke. Bloody hell.
She's a bit of a mystery,
this one, Stefan.
But then again,
women are all mysteries to me.
Ah. But no, what was she like?
Did the girls get into pillow fights
and stuff?
Because we didn't have them at my school.
Girls.
Oh, mushy, you don't wanna hear
about all that boring stuff.
No, I absolutely do, so
Spill the beans.
- Uh, right. Um, Katie, well, uh
- Yeah.
Maybe later, mush?
We have our little thank you speech,
remember?
Oh, yes. Of course. Um, catch you
on the flip side, Steve, okay?
Mushy?
Stefan! Just the fellow.
I was hoping you could help
clear something up for me.
- Yeah, sure, of course.
- How old were you when you met Katie?
When I met Katie? Uh, well, I was, um
Uh, six? Six six years old.
Interesting.
Because the institute only takes children
from the age of 13.
Right, yeah, no. Of course. Um
No, uh, what I mean, uh
I'm just a bit muddled.
You look more and more like my Isobel
every time I see you, you know.
Poor girl. You must be traumatized.
Fred, you know the Delaneys' dirty secrets
better than anyone.
Do you have any idea
who might have done this?
My family has a hundred vendettas,
darling. Thousands.
You don't get money like ours
by being nice.
They make enemies. That's what money does.
They were cunts. God rest their souls.
What I'm saying is,
there are so, so many people
who could have done it.
Right.
Well, let's start with the most obvious.
Take your pick
of the organized crime mobs.
Albanian, Galician, the Stuttgart lot
Oh, sounds like a long list.
A bit of a dead end.
Well, thank you for helping.
We should probably get going.
Oh, it's not safe for you out there.
God knows who might be after you.
Let me make you some tea
and we can figure out the best way
to get you both somewhere safe, hmm?
You know, I'd love some tea.
- I really think we should get going.
- Oh, my God.
Can't you just chill for two seconds?
When have I ever got you in trouble?
Jesus, come on. Ow.
Where'd you find him?
You should ask for your money back.
He doesn't look the part,
hasn't learnt his lines.
What do you mean?
Whoever he is, this stooge of yours
can't get his story straight.
- I can explain.
- No.
I don't like to be lied to, Katie.
Start clearing people out. Party's over.
And if she ever shows her face again,
make her regret it.
I'm nothing.
I come from nothing.
You're right, I lied.
I never went to a Swiss boarding school.
I didn't grow up riding,
and I never summered in Tuscany.
I've been on my own,
fending for myself my whole life.
My father
he was just a fisherman.
And he died, young and broke.
I came here
and I fell in love with your son.
And I thought that if you knew
where I actually came from,
you'd never let me
anywhere near your family.
So, yes.
I paid someone
to wipe my digital footprint.
I was embarrassed.
I've wanted to tell you for so long
but I thought that
that would mean losing Hugo.
And I can't bear the thought of that
because I love your son with all my heart.
I apologize.
You've misread me, young lady.
My father had a fishing boat.
In Essex.
I can still smell the spray sometimes.
He turned it
into an international business
by the time me and my brother
were in our teens.
Eventually, he managed
to give us the world.
Your background
is nothing to be ashamed of with me.
Probably best if we keep it
from Hugo, though.
But I'm going to need
an iron-clad prenup.
To Hugo and Katie!
Hugo and Katie!
Fate can go fuck itself.
The whole thing was a reminder to me
of this incredible chemistry together,
and she's marrying someone else.
And she said she loves him, but honestly,
their whole vibe together is off.
She's like a completely different person
when she's around him.
Plus, that party was weird, man.
That that family is, like, scary rich.
Yeah, my sister said
the Delaneys are proper dodge.
What do you mean?
I mean, Yuna never explained it
when she was with Hugo but she hated them.
You know?
I mean, that kind of money does a lot
to hide some ugly secrets, you know?
Damn.
What is wrong with Anil?
Him and Jackson
are playing a drinking game.
Drink every time you see something
incredibly sad.
Unless they must be fucking wasted, no?
- Things not working out with Fernando?
- Oh, no, fuck that guy.
I googled it, right?
Turns out Fernando's about
the Mexican War of Independence.
- Jesus.
- Yeah.
I just don't know what I want anymore.
- Yeah. Me neither.
- Yeah.
Can you dance with me?
I can, of course.
Jackson! Jackson!
This was going to be my first dance
with Floyd.
That's nice.
They'll have to play it again
when he comes back.
Lorna
I wonder if
it might be time to accept that maybe
you and Floyd aren't meant to be.
Because he's been to jail?
What? No. Fuck. Jesus. No, no.
Because he ran away on your wedding day.
I just think
sometimes
even though we really, really care
about someone
we have to face the facts
and see them for who they are
and where they're at.
Hello.
Hello.
I have an announcement.
I've been thinking, and, um
I don't think
that Floyd is coming back.
- Drink.
- But
but I'm not sure that I mind anymore.
Because as that song was playing,
it reminded me that
it was playing on the car radio
the night that Floyd and me
first made love
in the back seat.
Oh, my God, is that actually the car
they first fucked in?
And from that moment
in the car park of the Long sight Lidl
until the moment I walked down the aisle
this morning,
Floyd, he made me happy every single day.
And it was fate that we met.
And it was fate that we parted.
And even if this is the end of our road
I'd rather spend these last four months
loving Floyd than
than never loved him at all.
And by God,
one day I will pass that driving test.
Wait.
She didn't even pass the fucking test?
I can't I can't anymore.
Look, I'm sorry
if I was a bit snippy with you earlier.
What, what? I didn't notice.
I just think we should probably keep,
you know,
work stuff and other stuff separate.
- Do you know what I mean?
- Oh. Yeah.
We're such a good team.
I don't wanna risk that.
Yeah, of course. Uh, absolutely.
Yeah. Cheers, mate.
All of you fucking gaggle
of Girl Guides, listen up.
Okay, so, as you've probably gathered,
we're looking for two suspects,
Katie McConnell and Stefan Bridges,
sighted here at the village shop
at 10:48 this morning.
Now, I wanna go door-to-door,
every door, no one gets missed.
The rest of you,
I wanna sweep the countryside,
turn this place upside down and inside out
until we find them.
This is who you're looking for.
Any questions?
Drink!
Hi.
Hey.
Excuse me.
Have you seen my groom anywhere?
He's a lot drunker than usual
and, ah, I'm worried about him.
Hello.
I'm worried that
- Don't do the voice.
- Sorry.
Oh, the whole Floyd-Lorna thing,
I've just
I've been worried about so many things
about our wedding
but, uh,
I didn't ever think that
maybe my bride could just do a runner.
Anil.
Anil, look at me.
No, at me.
Look, that is
that is never gonna happen.
I promise.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I thought showing up uninvited
to each other's parties
was kind of our thing.
I wanted to thank you
for trying to cover for me earlier.
Things got a little bit intense
with Hugo's dad, didn't it?
They did, yeah.
Did you mean what you said to him?
If you love Hugo that much,
why did you sleep with me?
People marry people
for lots of reasons, Stefan.
That doesn't answer my question.
You know
if I was
leading a different life
I would go for this.
But I'm living this one.
So I can't.
Thanks again.
It's done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, fuck.
Delicious. We should go.
We've definitely overstayed our welcome.
No rush. May I use your loo?
Of course.
Thank you.
I'd be looking after her.
Ah, more the other way around.
Hm. I'm sure.
Is that your daughter?
Yes. She left us
ten years ago.
Who was it that said
"Drugs are God's way of saying,
you have too much money"?
One of the reasons I don't have any now.
Katie was the best thing to happen
to this family since Isobel died.
It's absurd that they think she did it.
She's such a good girl.
- Dude, I'm peeing!
- We need to leave.
- What?
- Seriously.
We'll leave in a minute.
You know, you can't just barge in on me
because you have a funny feeling.
I think Uncle Fred is in on it.
You think that man is responsible
for the murder of his entire family?
Okay, maybe not directly,
but he's definitely involved.
How can you suspect him?
He's a sweet, old man
with a broken heart in a sweater vest.
Katie, I have been
in the most gullible state imaginable,
head over heels,
and even I've had my suspicions about you.
We show up to his house,
his entire family have been poisoned,
and he doesn't suspect you at all?
How could that be
if he wasn't in on it himself?
Just because you don't trust me,
it doesn't mean no one does.
Jesus, no. I At every
at every turn, all day, any suggestion,
anything, you just have ignored me.
I mean, why'd you bring me in on this?
