Riviera (2017) s01e03 Episode Script

Episode 3

Officer Jukes, I'm with the Interpol Serious Financial Crime Agency.
Monsieur Clios had a safe room installed.
The safe code has 8 digits.
- What is it? - I don't know that.
- Well, who does? - Only Christos.
The estate, the Clios Foundation and all the holdings of the Clios Bank and family are to be frozen pending a criminal investigation.
- Is my husband really dead? - That's insane! You can shoot.
I didn't expect that from someone like you.
Welcome here.
I think you were right about the yacht.
That it wasn't an accident and I think we can help each other, share what we know.
I found this in Constantine's things.
- I think it says - Elena.
She's the only survivor from the explosion.
Do you know her? I want to know what kind of business my husband did with your father.
Whatever it was, if my father was involved it would have been malignant.
I see it in you now That look.
What look? Dolor de Mistura Revenge! - Transcribed by Uncle Andy - Are you still using the Master Bedroom? I can - Stay where I am.
- No, no, it's fine.
You can have it.
Therese will move my things in the morning.
Georgina, I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now and I know that being stuck in this madhouse won't help, um what I'm trying to say, rather inelegantly, is, um I'm happy you're here.
We're not all mad.
I know it really Seems that way and all the posturing that goes on is just Clios bravado.
It's what passes as motion around here.
But, we don't all feel that way.
Some of us actually Feel.
Whatever you need, just ask.
I'm glad you're here but I'm good.
Benny, where were will we meet? Probably best right now because I'm going to swing by and see you Well, cancel them.
I need to see you.
Thank you.
Probably the things I'm gonna do when I Listen, I gotta run.
I'll see you in a bit.
Did you want something? We need to talk.
Can't be easy, right? Being the strong one when everything's going to shit.
- I don't have time for this.
- I want to help.
- I don't need your help.
- We need to work together.
I barely know you.
I think your father was murdered.
- I need to find out why.
- Murdered? I just need to get into the safe room.
Unbelievable! - You have no right to stop me! - It's a Clios matter.
What's in the safe room is our business, not your's.
What are you trying to hide? Ever wonder why Dad never gave you the code? He made me promise not to give it to anyone, especially not To What? The gold digger? Especially not to you.
Perhaps, Judah thought that his wife would discover the truth.
Perhaps, he wanted her to.
Robert? That forger of yours I need to talk to him.
What do you mean you can't? You can't or you won't? I'm running out of options here.
Christos won't give me anything! The level of deception in this family I I can't trust anyone! My husband is dead.
You don't get to decide what I know and what I don't know! Alright, text it to me.
Can't vouch for the taste but it's warm, at least.
Thank you for being so quick to take up my invitation, Mr.
Clios.
We asked your father along here a year ago.
Well, maybe you forgot to include an RSVP.
Well, we should get started.
There's a great deal to cover.
The Brandeis art transactions, the Cayman loans and various financial instruments that give us cause for concern.
Where do you think we should begin? We advise our client not to engage in this line of questioning unless you can provide concrete evidence of some wrongdoing, Otherwise, this is a monumental waste of Mr.
Clios' time.
Ok, fine.
Our people are making good progress with Constantine's money laundering trail, but it will take time.
And the longer it takes, the longer the bank stays closed.
Once again, we advise our client not to engage in this line of There are tens of thousands of pages of documents we've requisitioned from your office.
Boxes - Hundreds of them.
- Yeah, well, I hope you have a good filing system.
Is that what you came here to say? You telling me you won't even talk to me about John Brandeis? On behalf of our client, we would suggest that you direct queries on the subject of John Brandeis in the direction of John Brandeis.
Or you could show us some evidence.
Until then, we will not respond.
And this meeting is adjourned.
Really is bad.
You forged a painting for my husband.
No, no, no! I just want to talk.
Please.
Well? Your work has a certain energy.
I'm glad you like it but I'm afraid I know nothing about - your husband or any forged painting.
- Do you know who I am? I'm Georgina Clios Of the Clios Foundation.
- I've heard of you, yes.
- But I haven't heard of you.
Lucas Carlssen? Is that why you got into this line of work? - Get out! - How many paintings - did you forge for my husband? - I don't have to tell you anything.
One word from me - And no gallery will touch you.
- Who do you think you are? You stuck-up bitch! Spending money for entitled rich fucks! Sometimes, that's true, yes but success requires talent.
- Maybe you need to try harder.
- Get the fuck out of my You're not going to shoot me.
You're gutless, just like the rest of all the art world phonies around here.
You wouldn't know real art if it came Ok! Ok, your husband had the copy made for some oligarch to put on his yacht.
Ok? Really! That's all I know.
Hey.
Georgie, hey! I have known Lucas for years! - He trusts me! - You went behind my back - with Constantine.
- Oh, that was business! Went behind my back, forged my painting No, your husband did that.
I simply made the introduction.
You make it sound like it was nothing.
Alright I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you about Carlssen.
No more secrets.
No more secrets.
Do you mean that? Yeah.
So, did he tell you anything useful? He says the painting was for Litvinov.
But the fake is on my wall which means the real Lorain Was on that yacht.
15 million dollars at the bottom of the Mediterranean.
God! What a waste! What was Constantine doing with Litvinov? Who knows.
He had a safe room installed a few months ago.
Really! He never told me about it but I know there's something in there.
- Yeah, so what are we waiting for? - I can't get in.
- Why not? - Fucking Christos! The staff wouldn't dare say a thing.
- Since when did you care? - Oh, your father might see Well, he's not here.
He left for work this morning or something.
Wait a minute! You want to see my father? Yeah, I need to talk to him.
Oh, my God! That's why you came.
Sorry.
Hey! Hey, Liv Listen, I will make it up to you.
Promise.
Will you tell your father that I want to speak to him? That depends.
Impress me.
No! Absolutely not! That No fucking way! That's a terrible idea! And even if it works, are you sure you want to open that box? There is something in there that Constantine - didn't want me to see, I know it.
- Exactly! Because once you see it, you can't un-see it! Some things are best left alone, Georgie.
Robert, you don't understand! I can't just sit around and wait for these investigations to be over.
I have to get there first.
This is the only thing I have that they don't have.
I will get the family out of the house.
- You break into the safe room.
- I'm sorry but what part of - "no fucking way" do you not get? - Robert, I need to know if I made the worst mistake of my life.
And when I get caught, when it goes "tits up"? You gonna admit to the family and the police - just how crazy you've become? - You will be fine.
Blue like cornflower.
Azure blue.
Eveclimb blue.
Almost.
My father had one of his paintings.
I like your hair today.
You ok? Yeah, I'm fine.
We had breakfast together, all 3 of us, my brothers and me.
And for a moment, I thought it was nice and then I remembered never was like that.
We never sat around the table back then.
I just imagined we did.
Maybe things are better.
Yeah.
It's not just about power, you have to choose the appropriate serve for the situation.
Respond to what your opponent puts in front of you.
- Nice! - No, it was poor.
I wanted to talk to you about a venture I'm working on.
New private equity fund.
You're starting a fund? Sounding out investors at the moment.
Had a lot of interest already, It's a business strategy that offers a great opportunity to generate Alpha returns.
Would you like me to invest? As an early buy-in? 1.
5 million Euros, you would be a priority client.
You are bloody joking, of course.
- No.
- There's an investigation into Clio's bank.
Your reputation is shot to shit.
And you're asking me to give you money? After what Constantine did? The investigation will clear my father of any wrongdoing.
That's not what I'm hearing.
Tell me, what was it like knowing your father was a crook? Having to carry a secret like that all these years, quite a burden! - I'm not my father.
- No.
He was a crook who misjudged his opponents.
Serve the same way too many times, it gets predictable.
They start to see you coming.
Whereas, you're merely a deluded loser, don't ask my daughter for favors again.
Hey, what's going on.
Are you ok? So, I was thinking What if we all went out for dinner tonight, all of us? - All of us? - Yeah! Yeah, why not? When was the last time we went out? No.
Well, I know it's not the same but And Christos won't even come.
He doesn't like you.
Oh, he will, eventually.
We're gonna fix this family, right? Talk it out, like grown-ups.
Yeah! I'm good.
- You wanted to update us? - Yes.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get Christos Clios to talk.
He has an army of lawyers that could drag this out for years, the prick.
So, myself and the team are pursuing a different line of enquiry, the Clios art collection.
We've turned up a number of art transactions relating to a John Brandeis that may be of interest.
If you study the data illustrations, you see suggested links between Brandeis and the Clio family.
And we get to him via Georgina Clios.
You disagree, Commandant Delormes? People died on that boat.
Forget your pretty pictures and Georgina Clios.
This girl is the key.
And you've come up with? John Brandeis is our man.
Getting to Miss Clios is the key.
Excuse me.
Christos! Where have you been? Georgina's taking us out for dinner.
- She's given everyone the night off.
- Not tonight, I'm busy.
Come on! It's for the good of the family.
We've got to get out of the house at some point show everyone - we're pulling together.
- I said no! If nothing else, it'll keep Georgina happy.
Adam, I really don't give a fuck about that bitch's happiness Don't call her that.
You think you're hurting more than the rest of us? Or is it that jump-up execs don't like taking orders? Let me tell you something, little brother.
The only reason you got where you are is Daddy.
- And he's not here any - Stop it! Just for the sake of one dinner, can't we put our usual bullshit aside? Fine.
9 PM! Don't be late! Robert, we're about to leave.
You've got three hours.
So, how's your novel going? Fine, it's - It's going fine.
- You mean you're actually - writing something? - Christos! Sorry, go ahead.
It explores the negative impact of marketization on contemporary human relationships.
- Hm, sounds great.
- Hm.
Yeah, sounds like a real page turner.
Yeah.
You know what? Your dad told me - that he used to take you here as kids.
- Really? Yeah, he did, when Mother wanted us out of her hair.
Kind of stuffy, you know.
Well, Dad liked the wine list.
Wine list That's not why we came.
Yeah And he fancied one of the friend-of-the house girls.
- No way! - Oh, yes.
He's have them set the table, - check baby Adam with his coat - Shut up! Then he would go to one of the private rooms - with the girl - Christos! No, no, it's ok.
- I want to know these things.
- Why? Because I'm a masochist.
Were there other women like that? I mean, more recently.
You mean: since you were married? No, he wasn't having an affair.
I would have noticed.
I don't think so.
Christos, - can't we talk about something else? - Sure! - How about the safe room? - Safe room? Dad's den.
That place he had fitted in the basement.
Oh, yeah! Well, Christos has been in there.
Christos is the only one who can go in there.
- He's the only one with the code.
- Yeah! Come to think of it, you use it a lot.
- What do you do in there? - Answer the question, Christos.
She is head of the family, after all.
Head of the family? Mother, you made it! You weren't expecting me.
We're all telling Georgina what we know about Father.
All fun for all the family.
More fun than the will reading, in any case.
Well, I thought the will reading was great fun.
Who doesn't like being threatened by law enforcement! What do you think, Christos? What would you recommend? - No, no.
Something special.
- Ah.
Ah, of course, the '73 Romanee Conte.
Very good, sir.
- 8,000 Euros.
- Bring it! Of course Liquidating what's left of the pound assets, then? What? Only the best for us? - Well, we do have to be careful.
- Why come here, then? You could have shopped at Garfour and cooked us all some hamburgers.
Don't fucking decant it, just You know, this Domain is overrated, it doesn't warrant this kind of markup.
- Want a fucking discount? - You wouldn't have the balls to - act like this if Dad were still here.
- Well, if Dad was still here, I wouldn't need a fucking discount.
I want a fucking discount! - Réduction, s'il vous plaît! - I want to go home.
- Réduction, s'il vous plaît! - Can I come with you? Ada, I think it's better if you go home with your Mom tonight.
No! I want to come with you.
Georgie, please let me come with you.
Ok, ok.
I'm very sorry to say, sir, but it's declined Whose lucky night is it, then? Fuck this place! Fuck you all! Thank you.

Ok, it'll be ok.
Christos, Christos! Can I God.
Hey, get up.
Solte! Your mother was grateful for the favor I did her.
Moving the Ingresko account to Clios Bank when other investors were running scared.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sure she was.
Well, that makes us business partners now and as such, I'm going to offer you some partnerly advice Quit while you're ahead.
Yeah, um, I'm not done yet.
In fact, since you're so keen to hand out favors, I want to increase the house maximum bet.
Ah, favors are for your mother, not for you.
Right.
- You're gonna regret that.
- Really? And why is that? Well, Interpol has frozen all the bank's assets.
Or you haven't heard? Yeah, all that money that you put in? Good luck getting it all back.
- Adriana - I should have told you I invited Mum.
It's ok, really, I'm I'm just sorry it had to go that way.
It's not your fault.
We just messed up.
Every family is messed up - in their own way.
- Not this bad.
It was nice of you to try, though.
You really didn't have to.
- What's your family like? - It was just me and my dad.
- You don't talk much about your dad.
- He passed away.
- Sorry.
- It wasn't easy for him, raising a daughter alone.
One time he took me to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and left me there because he couldn't afford a babysitter.
- Really? - Yes, really.
I was 12 but I spent the whole afternoon looking at a Monet.
At the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
So, in some ways, I guess he gave me my love of art.
I'll always be grateful to him for that.
20 to 19 at the bank, Blackjack.
The House wins.
Thanks for the ride.
Oh, if you ever want to talk, - I'm here.
- Ok.
Thanks.
Is something wrong? No, no, it's just been a long day.
No.
You're good at this, you know.
You should have kids.
Can you stay with me until I fall asleep? Sure.
Sweet dreams.
Thank you, you too.
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.
Place your bets.
It's way past his bedtime.
I'll deal with him.
Christos! Hey, what are you doing here? I figured this place might be on the list.
- What are you doing? - I'm reviving our fortunes.
A chip, my chip.
- Can't you close this down? - The wager's legit.
You pig! I need more credit.
How did you become Vice President of anything? - Because he believed in me.
- Adam! I want to know, you got some cash on you? - Come on, bro! - Maybe it's not your night.
Come on.
Of course it's my night, ok? I know what I'm doing.
Who the fuck is that? Is he alright? Our sleeping beauty's going to regret this one in the morning.
Of to his hidey hole.
Oh, no, no, no, no you don't.
- Get off me! - Christos! Fine! Ok.
There you go.
Right, well, - I'm going to go to bed.
- Me too.
- Good night.
- Good night.
You never did have any class.
Business is business, Irina.
How much is he in for? Six hundred thousand.
He doesn't have that.
What is this really about, Jakob? I know about the asset freeze.
So your punishing - Christos to punish me? - No.
I'm entitled to be angry.
When you took my account, you knew the authorities were coming.
You did.
I didn't know about the investigation.
But this is what I do know.
I know your investment is safe.
And I know the investigation will end because it will get to nowhere.
Constantine's dealings were as murky as the sea.
They'll never get to the bottom of it.
Everything my husband did, everything he said was intended to obscure the truth, to make bad things sound good.
In his world, up was down, black was white, and the bank was merely leveraged.
But in the end, "leveraged" was just a respectable word for debted and debt is bad.
I'm alive.
Should I be dead? Hello, this is Robert.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.
What? What is it? The six hundred thousand, it disappears.
What? Cara! - Transcribed by Uncle Andy -
