Fake (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
JOE: Get a grand suite if you like.
If you use your credit card
I don't have a credit card.
I refuse to pay the bloody bank fees.
You thought I wouldn't be able
to pay for dinner, didn't you?
BIRDIE: I'm sorry I doubted you.
Is Joe's unreliability
a spur to your anxiety?
Or could your anxiety
be turning small
things into big dramas?
Joe, we were waiting for you.
I mean, I was really worried.
JOE: Look, I'm sorry, I
was saving a boy's life.
You weren't at the front of my mind,
I'm sorry, I have to admit.
It sounds simplistic,
but you just might have to trust Joe.
ANTON: I'm sorry, but you
haven't met his kids yet,
you haven't been to his place.
It's like you're his dirty
little secret or something.
Are your friends making
you feel bad again?
He does like you, Anton.
Yes, he's invited you to his wedding.
Where's the flight details?
I only met your mum briefly,
but you're all she wanted to talk about.
I just don't know why I trusted her.
Her stories were like these
perfect little three-act plays.
JOE: Eldorado. It's a grand old
house on just over 100 acres -
prime grazing land.
Maybe you can write a
review of it when I buy it.
Thought I'd show you
another property first.
Jacaranda.
Just in case the deal
for Eldorado falls over.
BIRDIE: I couldn't care less
if you have money or not.
Are you playing me?
Oh, my God.
Joe
What is this?
JOE: Didn't I say it was grand?
It's a beautiful property, Percy.
PERCY: Thank you. Would you mind
if I showed Birdie the main bedroom?
BIRDIE: Why didn't you
tell me it was like this?
JOE: I have a disgusting
amount of money.
I only care about you.
Now when I start worrying,
I just tell myself
everything's fine.

JOE: Oh, smoked cow's udder,
rams testicles cooked in
cream and single-malt whiskey
and seared fish semen.
Oh stop, I filed that months ago.
I was really hoping it
wouldn't make it to print.
How do you sear a fish semen?
The guys are fucking clown.
God, I can't do this for much longer.
Hang on.
I've got a feeling some good things
are going to start happening. Hm?
I'll drop Mercy at the kennels.
I'll finish some stuff
off at the office.
I'll grab my suit at the dry cleaners
an you'll swing by, pick me up in Uber.
Mm-hm. Which dry cleaners?
The dinky one. South
Melbourne, just near my office.
I can't believe it's tomorrow.
They've been talking about
getting married for years.
Are you going to pack that shirt
that I bought you for your birthday
with the little bluebirds on it?
Perfect for a country wedding.
Are you going to tell me
which undies to wear too?
(LAUGHS) Wh While I'm at it.
Uh
- See you soon.
- Mm-hm.
Alright, Mercy. Mercy.
Come on. Let's go.
(HUSHED CONVERSATIONS)
I thought you were away on
your big, romantic adventure.
Yeah, I just forgot my charger.
What's with the weird vibe.
Ah, they're worried
if people don't apply
for the voluntary redundancies,
they'll start tapping people.
Oh! Oh, let me know what
the new editor's like.
Yeah. See you Monday.

Hi! What's Tovey's parents' place like?
- Are you there?
- MARGEAUX: Oh, it's lovely.
Well, is his sister there?
MARGEAUX: Oh, Jessa can't make it.
She's backpacking in Lisbon or Berlin
with some kind of Italian
opera-singer boyfriend.
Anyway, you know Kath put you
and Joe out in the guest house?
I mean, do you know that?
Yeah, well, it's the only
other room with an ensuite.
- Yes?
- I was expecting that uh
Oh, it's just, I really
don't know what I'll do
- if I need to
- Well, just go before bed.
It's just I'm up and
down all night, you know.
God knows how I'll find
it from the kids' room,
sharing a bunk with Rory and everything,
and, you know, lucky she wants the top.
Mum, I'm not swapping with you.
Joe and I can't sleep in bunks.
MARGEAUX: No, I never
suggested that, no.
Of course a couple needs
to take the guest house.
Old, single women and children
are better seen and not heard.
Well, I've got to hang up now
because I've got to call an Uber.
- I'll see you soon.
- I'm just making sure that
Hi.
Hi.

Where are you?
JOE: Ah, there's been a change of plans.
What change?
JOE: Well, I had to
drop by my bank manager's
to release the deposit
for the Eldorado sale.
What?
Percy finally accepted your offer.
JOE: Mm-hmm, I told you
I had a good feeling.
Deadline for the deposit's at 3pm.
Oh, well, we'll be on a flight at 3pm.
JOE: Well, hang on, I thought
you'd be a bit more excited.
Oh, I I am!
I I am, Joe, it's just
Oh, God, why today?
I mean, they've been dragging
their feet for months.
JOE: Yeah, look, I guess
he had a change of heart.
Look, I'll get a cab
in about five minutes
and I'll race you to the airport.
OK. (LAUGHS) Good luck.
JOE: Alright, hey, the
bank manager's just come in.
I've got to go. I'll see you there. Bye.

Hola, Gia, my little kitty.

Oh, babe, why do you sound like that?
I'm going to come see you soon.
No, I just have to drop
off my last passenger.
Oh, come on Babe.
Don't be mad with me, please.
Mi gatita, princesa, baby,
I'll come see you soon, I promise.
I can't wait to see you.
What? No, I told you I left Mishti.
Why do you keep bringing that up?
OK, well, your sister-in-law
is talking shit, alright?
Because I'm just there for a few weeks
to save the rent and
help her with her kids.
Yes, I know they're my kids too.
OK, it's just complicated
right now, Gia, alright?
Yes, it's complicated.

- JOE: Uh, Liam's gazumped us.
He's put a last-minute
offer on Eldorado.
- How much?
- (BEEPING)
JOE: Eh, he's blown it up
by an extra million bucks.
DRIVER: Miss, seatbelt, please.
Oh
BIRDIE: Oh, no.
JOE: Yeah, so I'm gonna have
to see my business partner,
see if I can move some money around.
Oh, no, Joe, you're gonna be late.
JOE: Hey, hang on, I said I'll be there.
Look Look, I'm sorry. I'm stressed.
I need to find 100K to make up
the deposit shortfall by 3pm,
otherwise we're gonna lose Eldorado.
Have you got another 100K?
JOE: Yes, yes, of course I've got it,
but it's tied up in a
trust with Olivia and Harry,
and Mary's making it
difficult to access.
I can't get a bridging loan
from the bank until 9am tomorrow.
Oh, my God.
Well, there must be something we can do.
I don't want to lose Eldorado.
JOE: Yeah, well, I think
we'd better brace ourselves
for that eventuality. Unless you
can magic up 100K you can loan me
until 9am tomorrow,
well, then, you know, I
think Liam's gonna get it.
Hey, hang on, here's
my business partner.
I'll call you back in a sec.
W-wait, Joe, are you
gonna make the flight?
(BEEPING)
You alright?

MAN: Have you seen my girl Gia?
DRIVER: No, I haven't heard from Gia.
Gia?
No, sh She wouldn't do

You probably just need to
give her some space, man.
girls are like, man. (LAUGHS)

(HOLD MUSIC PLAYS)
WOMAN: Hi, you've reached
VicBank. My name is Amy.
How can I help you today?
(SHAKILY) Oh, hi. Yeah I've
just transferred some money
from my microshares account,
and it says it's gonna take two
to three business days to clear.
I don't understand.
Is there anything I can
do to expedite the process?
AMY: Sorry, transfers from
your microshares platform
will clear on Monday at the earliest.
Is there anything I can
do to get that money today?
AMY: No, transfers from
non-linked platforms
take at least 48 hours.
Is there anything else I
can help you with today?
What's the turnover on a personal loan?

OK. Thanks.

Oh OK.
(LINE RINGS)
- Birdie?
- Hey, Peggy.
- PEGGY: Miss me already?
- I might do.
- How's the trip?
- Yeah, I'm just on my way.
Um, hey, Peggy, if I was to take
one of the redundancies at work,
how quickly do you
think I'd get the money?
PEGGY: What? And, no,
that's a ridiculous idea.
It's a terrible offer.
Yeah, no, just hypothetically.
PEGGY: Hypothetically, you could
negotiate it for next payroll,
but, mainly, get fucked. Are you insane?
We have one of the last secure
jobs in a dying industry.
Do you have any idea
what it's like for women
out there at the moment? A
fast-track to join the middle-class,
middle-aged, menopausal, unemployed.
It's a fucking bloodbath.
OK, sure.
Th Thanks. I've got to go.
PEGGY: Can you just
forget work for a minute?
Enjoy your sexy weekend
away. I'm jealous.
- Yeah, I will.
- Is everything OK?
Yeah, I've just got to go.
- PEGGY: OK, catch you later.
- Bye.

ANTON: (ON RECORDING) Hi, you've
reached Anton at the Falconer.
I'm probably at the bar,
so leave a message or come
down and buy me a drink.
- (BEEP!)
- Anton, it's me.
(STAMMERS) Can you call
me back? It's urgent.
I was just wondering if
I could borrow back, um,
the grand that I gave
you for the flowers.
I just I just need some cash flow.
Um
I can go straight to the florist
at 9am tomorrow and pay them.
I just need the money today, by 3pm,
if you can.
Um I'm on a flight in 30 minutes,
and I need it before then.
Sorry.
(SOFTLY) Shit.
Fuck.
(BEEPING)
BIRDIE: Yeah, I'm going
to put my seatbelt on.
(LINE RINGS)
- Hi, Mum.
- Hey, a bunch of musicians have turned up.
They can't play a tune between them.
I think they're sleeping in vans,
playing their bong-bongs.
Mum, I need to ask a big favour.
- I'm on the way to the airport.
- Oh, yeah?
Can I borrow some money until tomorrow?
MARGEAUX: Yeah, how much? What for?
- 40 grand.
- What the fuck?
I can pay you back by 9am.
I just can't get it out
of my bank quick enough.
MARGEAUX: Oh, my God!
What have you done?
The sale for Eldorado is
going through today at 3pm.
But that happened months ago.
I thought that had all gone up in smoke.
Yeah, so did I. But now
it's suddenly back on,
and there's another bidder.
Joe and I have got to find
another $100,000 for the deposit,
or we'll lose the property.
Doesn't your millionaire
boyfriend have that?
He does, yes, but it's tied
up in a trust for his children.
There's the divorce, the ex-wife.
- It's complicated.
- It's really boring, darling. Just go on, yeah.
If you can transfer me the money,
I'll have it back in
your account tomorrow.
(MARGEAUX SIGHS)
Listen, the toilet is
a LONG way down the hall
from the bunk room.
I'm just worried about, you know,
waking Rory when I turn the light on.
You can have the guest
room. I don't care.
I mean, Joe and I can have the sofa bed.
MARGEAUX: Oh, no, no, no. I
would never ask you to do that.
You didn't, and Joe will
be fine with the sofa.
He's He's a bushman at heart.
MARGEAUX: OK, so, listen,
I don't have 40 grand,
but I have got a little bit I
put aside for some solar panels,
but I need it back in
the account the next day.
I need it in there tomorrow,
because the solar
man's coming next week.
How much is it?
- MARGEAUX: It's $20,000.
- For solar panels?
- Did you ring around?
- Of course I rang around.
Can you get Tovey's dad
to drive you into the bank?
MARGEAUX: Oh, Christ.
It's 10 minutes into town.
You'll make it if you go now.
MARGEAUX: Oh, well, if you get
me off the phone, I can, yeah.
OK, OK, go.
- Mum?
- Hmm?
BIRDIE: Thank you. It means a lot.
Yeah, well, just remember
this when it's time
to put me in a nursing home,
and put me in a bloody fancy one,
and do not give me chocolates,
because I hear that the
nurses steal them all,
and you've got to watch me eat them
and then take the rest home.
- Promise.
- OK.
- Go.
- Yeah, well, I'm going!
I'm going! You go first.
Thanks.
(LINE RINGS)
JOE: (ON RECORDING) Hi,
you've reached Joe Burt.
Please leave a message, and
I'll get back to you when I can.
- (BEEP!)
- Joe, I got you 70 grand.
$50 from my book account,
and $20 from Mum, on loan.
I had to do a deal with
the devil to get it,
But it'll be in my
account in 20 minutes.
I know it's not the full 100K
but it's got to count
for something, right?
(SIGHS) I just want to help.
I just
Just call me back as soon as
you've finished your meeting
and send me your bank account details.
I'll transfer the money.

(SIGHS)
Ma'am, you should be a
bit more careful, you know?
There's a lot of scammers
out there these days.
Oh, no
Oh, this? No, this is not a money scam.
My partner's buying a property.
It's just complicated.
Oh, right.
I can totally understand why
that sounded weird, though.
He's got a lot of money, my partner.
He's quite wealthy, so
- Oh?
- (PHONE RINGS)
DRIVER: Good for you.
- Hi.
- ANTON: You're totally off your tree.
Birdie, you're seriously squeezing
me, Tovey, and your mum
to bankroll your
boyfriend's stupid mansion,
the day before my wedding,
and we've already bought
the flowers from the farm.
Alright, alright, just
don't worry about it.
ANTON: I AM worried about
it, Birdie, because this
it all seems crazy, don't you think?
I mean, what exactly
are you trying to do?
- I'm I'm trying, Anton.
- What's your plan?
I'm trying to trying
save my fucking future.
ANTON: OK, so how? Talk
me through that. How?
It's not a stupid mansion.
That was going to be our home.
ANTON: Oh, I didn't mean
to say stupid, Birdie.
I'm stressed here.
I'm waiting for the
champagne guy to come.
The marquee's been put
up in the wrong place.
- Honestly, I've got
- You three never want to come to my flat.
- ANTON: That is bullshit.
- There's always an excuse.
ANTON: Our place is just
bigger. Absolute bullshit.
You don't know what it feels like!
You've always had someone.
I don't come home to anyone.
ANTON: Wow.
Jesus, I'm sorry. Sorry.
I'm acting crazy. I am crazy.
I'm just, I'm fucking
(GROANS) I (BREATHES DEEPLY)
I'll pull myself together.
ANTON: No, I'm sorry, Birdie.
I haven't been the
best friend sometimes.
Oh, don't Don't feel sorry for me.
- ANTON: How much do you need?
- 30 grand.
Even with your thousand, it
doesn't make a difference.
I can't do it. Just
Just don't worry about it.
ANTON: Do you trust Joe?
Oh!
Yes, I do.
ANTON: Are you sure you
want to lend him 30K?
Because that's a lot. That's huge.
I just know, in 10 years' time,
none of this is going to matter.
I'm going to have to go. Joe might call.
ANTON: Hang on, just give me a sec.
I just need to talk to Tovey.
Hang on.
You there?
Anton, I'm fine.
Just I'm sorry. I'm so
stressed out of my mind
I can't think straight.
ANTON: I can give you a line of credit
from the Falconers account
if it's just until tomorrow.
OK, Birds?
I'll borrow it from my payroll account
and you boomerang it back before
Friday or we're (EXHALES)
we're sunk, so
Oh, it's too much. You don't have to.
ANTON: Shut up before I
change my mind, OK? (LAUGHS)
I know you've
I know you've struggled
with the love stuff.
You helped me find out
who I was, so, um, yeah.
- Not straight?
- (LAUGHS)
Yes.
Oh And now I'm getting married
to someone I've loved for so long
and (EXHALES)
you're a part of that,
so
