Secret Bridesmaids' Business (2019) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Olivia.
Will you marry me?
Tell me how I can fix it.
You can't, Alex. You
can't uncheat on me, it's done.
We have to stop.
You say that,
but I??? M not so sure
..you mean it.
I mean it.
There he is, the Jamie
Oliver of gardens.
Oh, Melanie has been in your
ear, I suppose.
She's a passionate firecracker
that's for sure.
I
Can't just do nothing.
You can tell Michael.
No.
He might leave me.
He
Might take the kids.
Christof, what brings you here?
A
Judgement that's gone MIA.
No,
you'll have it this afternoon.
Olivia, don't you think she'd
like to meet your mom?
My mother's dead.
How much for her to stay that way?
ALL: Happy cancerversary.
I'm
so glad I didn't die.
Olivia,
sweetheart
you're bleeding.
Here
Oh
Should
I call Doctor Red?
When are
you going to tell Olivia?
She's got too much going on
with Alex. I can't.
Jacob Novak.
Olivia Cotterill.
He's been inside the
house, Saskia..
..while
the kids were asleep.
Calm down, we talked about this.
Don't do anything rash.
If you
come near my house, again
I will kill you.
Oh, shit!
DAISY: Mum! The
internet's gone weird.
Sure Daise,
I'll be out in a sec.
Let me guess,
two-to-eight weeks after Budburst
before the canopy gets too large.
OK,
I'm calling bullshit.
There's no way you could know all
of this from casual chats
with Sam,
your winemaking friend.
I may have also lived on a vineyard
in Northern Spain.
Which one?
Can Comas.
That's this medieval country house
you can stay in
Right on the river.
Surrounded by forest
Yeah, I've been there.
It's beautiful.
Who were you there with?
My friend, Saskia.
It's like being in some crazy,
medieval, gothic fairy-tale.
We even talked about getting married
there.
You
were there with your wife?
Fiance. Ex-fiance.
Unhappy ending?
I'm not going to go there.
That would require more wine.
Well
A couple of days before we were due
to head home,
we partied with some of the locals.
Drank our body weight in Grenache.
I crashed.
She stayed out.
And when she finally came back,
she said had a deep, spiritual
connection with a local artist
and that I should go home by myself.
Wow. That's
brutal.
Ditched for some wannabe
Salvador Dali.
Actually, I love Salvador Dali.
Same.
Hey, Olivia? Sorry.
We've started on the
filtering in the barrel room
Yes, uh, I should
..go do some work.
Yeah, no, of course. Of course.
Thank you for listening
to my tragic tale.
I'll be back to try your new
Tempranillo.
How many cases can I put
you down for?
Not sure. Haven't tried all your
varietals yet.
Hey, uh I'm just thinking,
I'm gonna visit Sam's vineyard
tomorrow in the Yarra Valley.
Come with me.
Sam's old school, all Cab Savs
and Merlots.
But I reckon we could convince him
to put a Tempranillo
in his restaurant.
Gets good numbers on the weekends.
Might be an opportunity.
I can't. I'm busy.
Hey, well uh
This is me,
just in case you change your mind.
Where?
Where did you fuck him?
Not here.
Then where?
In the Display Village.
Mikey
You had so many chances to
tell me the truth.
I tried.
I did.
You let me buy champagne
and fucking oysters to celebrate
the landscaping job. Did
you come up with that together?
I never talked about you.
At all.
Then how does he know so much
about our lives?
I don't know!
Instagram, maybe?
He just He just wants to
humiliate me.
It's done.
I ended it.
He He wouldn't let it go.
I went around there and I told him
to leave us alone.
That's when you drove your
car into him?
I'm sorry
I don't know you!
ALEX: "Provocation" is not an option
unless we get proof of Jakob's
stalking."
And that arsehole's an expert
at covering his tracks.
Where
do you guys learn that?
Don't lump me in with Jakob.
I'm just curious how men get
so good at deception.
What about Melanie's affair?
How does that fit into your
paradigm?
Melanie didn't cheat
on my best friend.
No, she cheated on my mate.
It's
completely different.
Yeah it is, because Michael
has to deal with the very
real possibility his wife
will end up in jail.
I'm not
gonna allow let that happen.
So, let's stick to the case.
Dangerous driving, intentionally
causing injury, unlawful assault.
We need to get the dangerous driving
reduced to reckless driving.
And the ICI down to recklessly
causing injury.
And Unlawful assault down
to common assault.
What about the criminal damage
charge?
Wilful damage?
We'll need a gun barrister.
How about Bruno?
He's flat out but I can grovel.
Well, you should be good
at that by now.
What's that about?
Nothing
to do with me.
You sure about that?
How many more tests have we got?
It's going to take a bit more time
but it's all perfectly routine.
We need another C.T.
You
Want a wheelchair?
I
Thought you wouldn't.
I need to deliver these to the
salon.
Can I borrow the ute?
Sure.
I don't need it.
You
made sure of that.
I told you to leave me alone.
Drive away or I will fucking
kill you!
Get back!
I'm on
the phone to the Police.
I'm I'm so sorry.
I thought you were someone else.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Please, please, just
Hang up the phone,
please don't call the police.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry, everyone
That's just, um, a case of
mistaken identity.
Who'd
you think it was?
What's going on, Melanie?
Are you OK?
Look, I'm sorry, it was
I can stick around, if you want?
Oh, no.
We're good, really.
Just, enjoy your day off.
How
are you? I'm so sorry.
Is she alright?
Julia
would like to speak to you.
Uh, I'm kina busy.
She said it's urgent.
She's throwing super frosty vibes.
Well then, I'll wear layers.
You were looking for me?
I have to fire Uzma.
I'm sorry?
Christof is fuming about how
long it took her
to get the Griffin Brook
Judgement to him.
Apparently,
you told him
she'd been letting her personal
life affect her work.
I was joking.
This isn't how you manage
important clients.
This has nothing to do with Uzma.
I was the one who held back
the documents
because I wanted to check something
and then
forgot to give the green light.
You're covering.
I'm really not.
Uzma has never brought her personal
life to work.
Unless you count that time she
kissed that preppy article clerk
the Christmas Party.
I will call Christof
and set the record straight.
Your timing's appalling,
Saskia.
I have to make a choice between
you and Alex for partnership.
This
isn't good for you.
Any other skeletons in your closet
I should know about?
Nope.
No skeletons in closet,
it's too full of skinny jeans.
Your
charm's wasted on me.
Pull your head in,
you're making me look bad.
Get out,
or I will scream the street down.
Mmm.
Not the smartest move with your
court case pending, is it?
What more do you want from me?
I
Haven't decided yet.
Alex, mate.
Can I talk to you?
(MUFFLED) Heard about Olivia bailing
you up at the County court. Brutal.
What do you need?
Can you look into the Griffin Brook
defamation case for me?
Just
make sure everything's legit.
It's Saskia's case,
check in with her.
Yeah I don't think I
can trust her.
Saskia's a pain in the arse but
she's a very good lawyer.
Yeah, I don't see it myself
and my bullshit radar's pinging.
If
This is on the nose,
I'll recommend we pull our business
from McBride and Parkes.
I don't
wanna be messed around.
Right, Griffin Brook
I'll look into it.
The sweet
sound of male entitlement.
What was that about?
Just the sweet sound
of male entitlement.
Last time you had a goldfish,
it died in less than a week.
Fish are
impossible to keep alive.
It's heaps harder to kill
a dog though.
Please,
can we get a puppy?
Please!
Mum
and I will talk about it.
Yes!
Yay!
We're
gonna get a puppy!
Who is it?
It's Olivia.
She wants to know if I can go to
dinner with her and Saskia.
I won't go obviously.
No, you should.
Go on.
Michael
Go!
Why bother pretending you haven't
fucked everything up.
SASKIA: I need details, I need
Dress sense, hair style
Insights
OK. How did you leave it?
He asked me to his friend's
winery, tomorrow.
Oh, that's perfect!
She's not ready.
I'm not. I said no.
See?
It's too soon.
You're totally ready to spend time
with a man that's not Alex.
Overdue, I'd argue.
You know I'm driving.
Yeah. Melanie and I are thirsty.
See? Overdue.
At least you know whoever is texting
you is really crazy about you.
Is it sexy talk?
Oi! I can handle this.
Hey, how are you holding up?
Barely.
Jakob
ambushed me this morning.
Fuck, where were you?
At the salon.
Did anyone see?
No,
I don't think so.
Well, what did he say?
He
Said it's not over.
What does that mean?
It sounds like a threat to me.
I wish I had killed him,
yesterday.
No, we don't say that.
In fact, say the exact opposite of
that tomorrow,
when we start prepping
your defence.
We have
to start that tomorrow?
What's
happening tomorrow?
Just you're going on your sexy day
trip with your hunk of mystery.
Did you tell him, "Hella yes?"
It was just
Wine banter.
Wine banter?
What is that like
Him bragging about his firm stork
and long finish?
(CAR HORN BLARES)
Hang on! She's
an animal on Sangrias.
I love you.
I love you too.
Oh, hey,
You should call Salvador!
Because you could do
with tasting
a new kind of grape!
Bye!
(PHONE RINGING)
JAKOB: Hello?
Hey.
Turns
out I'm free tomorrow.
Perfect.
BRUNO: The DPP'll argue you drove
your car into Jakob's
because
you intended to kill him.
You need to be adamant it
wasn't pre-meditated.
But it wasn't.
I was terrified. He'd been
taunting me for ages.
By 'taunting' you're referring to
the teddy bear and flowers
he sent you?
If that's a crime, my girlfriend
wishes I'd commit it.
Is
This really necessary?
This is gentle compared to the DPP.
Saskia and I think we can get the
dangerous driving charge
reduced
to careless driving.
Careless driving is staring too
long at a lingerie billboard.
Deliberately
t-boning someone
"And then
she yelled at Mr Novak,
'Come to my house again,
I will kill you.'
You're lucky there's no
attempted murder charge.
I
Shouldn't be the one on trial.
He was the one sending
texts and videos
Which, you deleted
I'm
just gonna wait outside.
Bruno, he came after my kids
at the supermarket.
It's hardly a crime to go
to the supermarket.
Who's to say you're
not stalking him?
You've been seen at workplace
several times.
There's no evidence of him
ever being on your property.
And let's not forget
you were engaged in a mutual
sexual relationship with Jakob
while he was single
and you were married.
Melanie,
I'm not tryna make this
harder for you,
but bitter
suburban housewife,
who rams the car of a charismatic
salesman, when their affair soured.
It's a compelling argument
to put forward.
Is
Jail really on the cards?
Jakob's convinced the police that
he's the one in fear for his life.
Depends how much they believe him.
The
cops can't be that stupid.
Listen, I know Melanie's affair
was a kick to the balls,
but if we're going to win this
you really need to present
a united front.
ALEX:
Hey quick sidebar
Um
Can you help me
chase up the opposing solicitor
on the Griffin Brook defamation?
Mate,
you are
racking up the favours.
I'll get Vic onto it.
Next round's on you,
huh?
Done. So, what's your gut
on Melanie's defence?
Honestly?
Mikey's about to become
a single dad
Unless we can get something
on Jakob.
Young, pretty firecracker.
He
Closed to the public today.
We're
getting the VIP treatment.
Just the two of us.
(PHONE RINGS)
Beautiful, huh?
Yeah. Amazing.
Hey, here they are.
Hey!
Hey
Ragazzo Come estai?
Mama says hello.
Yeah? She still loving her new
house?
Oh, she won't leave,
except to go to church.
Sam Salluzio,
this is Olivia Cotterill.
Hi.
Jakob won't shut up about
your new Tempranillo.
He raves about your Cab Savs.
Olivia's going to drag your wine
list into the 21st century.
Why
would I want to do that?
The 21st Century's a blighted
human existence.
Really?
Political correctness has sucked all
the fun out of the world.
How so?
Well, I just think we should be
able to express an opinion
Without being labelled racist,
sexist or homophobic.
You should, unless your opinion is
racist, sexist or homophobic.
I probably
should have warned you,
Sam's an 80-year-old trapped in
a 50-year-old's body.
You don't have to be old to
tell it how it is.
So
Tell me how it is?
Hey!
The
mystery Tempranillo.
We should
feel very honoured, Sam.
Yes, you should.
I'll
be the judge of that.
I'm not here for a haircut
Ah alright. Come inside,
we'll open it up.
OLIVIA: Deciding when to pick
the grapes,
when they exhibit the perfect
combination of flavours and tannins.
Most winemakers think
it's an educated guess
but I reckon there's something more
intangible at play
You know? A sense of alchemy.
I have no idea what you're
talking about
but you're doing something
right
Thank you.
I think we should put this
on our wine list.
It'll go down a treat
for our spring weddings.
Let's talk numbers when I can
count to more than ten.
Sure!
That's exciting.
Oh,
I should back off, I'm driving.
Oh, we've got a couple of rooms
made up here, if you wanna stay?
No,
I'm fine to drive.
We'll stay.
Will we?
We will stay.
ALL: Salut!
She's out.
Bill.
Mate, you can't keep
showing up here.
I just need to give
Olivia something.
I know she's not the only
one I've let down.
I never would have expected
this of you, Alex.
I can't justify what
I've done to all of you.
All I can do is to try to make
things right with Olivia.
Can
I leave this inside?
Please.
Thank you.
I can't believe he'd let
another winemaker in here.
Well, I'm under strict instructions
not to let you out of my sight.
He knows how to make a mean Cab Sav.
Dark cherry,
chocolate liquorice, mint
How do you speak like that
and not sound like a wanker?
Oh, lots of skill.
When did you know
this is what you wanted to do?
Even though I grew up amongst vines,
it was a slow burn.
I studied law before viticulture.
When I was a kid
I was obsessed with astronomy.
Wanted to discover my own star.
Thought I did once.
Bet
you were a cute kid.
Are you serious?
I was kind of weird.
Took me ages to find my people.
And who are your people?
You've mentioned Saskia.
Yes, so Melanie was my first love,
We met in grade one.
I saved her life.
How?
The day we met,
a spider landed in her hair
and she completely freaked out.
She's terrified of spiders.
So I grabbed it and squished it
in front of her.
We've been best friends ever since.
Ah, that's so weird,
that's actually exactly how
I
Make all of my friends.
Ahh
Yeah, right.
I love spiders though.
They eat the aphids off the vines.
God,
you're beautiful.
If you could you point me
in the direction of Alex Blake?
Alex is out. Not
sure when he'll be back.
Can I take a message?
If you could just give him
my engagement present.
Well, you must be
his favourite client.
He hasn't got gifts
from any of the others.
We've known each other a long time.
But you didn't know
his wedding was called off?
I've been away.
What happened?
Well, you should let him
explain that.
OK, thanks for letting me know.
That was odd.
Did she seem like an old
client to you?
Call Security, find out her name.
Then search the server for her.
I'm not supposed to access
Alex's client folders.
And Alex wasn't supposed
to access his fiance's nurse.
Do it.
What
are you doing here?
I couldn't leave,
not in good conscience.
You
don't have a conscience.
Give me a another chance.
It wasn't right, what I did.
Right. So I'll have
the ten grand back.
Let me guess.
You doubled up on your losses
but just had an unlucky night.
They told me the wedding's off.
I'm sorry.
I brought you a present.
You don't get to do
maternal concern now.
You're
thirty years too late.
Let me help.
You can help by not fucking up
what's left of my life.
Alex.
Get in a cab.
Catch the plane.
And stay dead.
How about that nightcap?
(CHUCKLES)
You're
a terrible influence.
Hmm, why not?
Think that might push me
over the edge.
You mind if I?
Not at all.
Vintage liquid gold.
If you're trying to give me
FOMO, it's working.
(LAUGHS)
Cheers.
You're right.
Liquid gold.
Morning.
Hey.
You alright?
Did
I pass out last night?
I don't
remember going to sleep.
Yeah, that nightcap may have been
one too many.
You OK to get going?
Sure. Sure.
Thanks.
That was
..unexpected.
I had a really great time.
I'll call you.
OK.
Hey,
how'd you go at Salluzio's?
I'm not really sure.
You're home early.
Yeah,
it was a tiny job.
Won't
put a dint in our debts.
I thought
you were working today.
I am, after I finish this.
I'll
get Luci a new one.
It's her favourite.
I can fix it.
If you were so unhappy,
why didn't you just tell me?
Give me a chance
instead of fucking someone else..
I know I'm far from
the perfect husband.
I promised myself I was never
gonna be just a housewife.
You're
not a just a housewife to us.
I know,
and I love our kids.
And I love being your wife.
What we went through losing
after we lost Tommy that night,
I couldn't have survived that
with anyone else.
Me either.
We married so young.
Sometimes I wonder
what it would be like if we just had
a bit more time.
To be free before everything
became routine.
So, I was right.
I'm not enough for you.
No one person can be enough
for another, can they?
You're
enough for me.
Fucking hell, Saskia. No wonder
you've been dodging Christof.
What do you mean?
You embezzled 200 grand.
You'll never practice again.
Only if it gets out.
You seriously think that it won't?
And, if I don't report it,
I'm an accessory to the fact
and my career is up shit creek
as well.
What were you thinking?
Olivia.
The Tempranillo.
The
winery was going under,
they were pouring all of their money
into Olivia's treatment, and I
..just wanted to give her
something to hang onto.
She mentioned her Tempranillo
dream, and I bankrolled it.
Weld Holdings bankrolled it.
They're a billion dollar company,
it was loose change to them.
I was
going to pay it back.
You won't just be disbarred,
you could end up in prison.
And then where does that
leave Olivia?
I
Don't know what to do.
Fucking hell, Saskia.
Hey.
Olivia's star.
I was going to give it to you
on our wedding night.
Yeah, I really wish
you hadn't ruined that.
Yeah, me too.
I don't deserve you.
I never have.
I get that you want to move on,
Olivia. But I don't.
I'm
not going anywhere.
Can I see you?
I don't think so.
Just to talk.
Not even
about us if you don't want.
I can't.
I love you.
I have to go.
So,
tell me everything.
We stayed the night.
And?
It was strange being with a guy
that wasn't Alex.
But it was
..fun.
Fun?
He's
not a theme park ride.
Or is he?
OK, I need his real name,
I need photos.
I don't think
I'm gonna see him again.
All the more reason
to give me his deets.
Fine.
His name's Jakob.
What's
his last name?
Jakob Novak. Why?
Why are you guys
talking about Jakob?
We went to the winery
together yesterday. Do you know him?
You
spent the day with Jakob?
Well, we didn't just
spend the day,
we slept together.
What's wrong?
Saskia, what is it?
What's wrong?
