Secret Bridesmaids' Business (2019) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Congratulations, Saskia. I'm glad I
helped cover up a 200,000 theft
so you
could get partner over me.
The embezzlement thing is dead and
buried
and so you
need to get over it.
I'll never understand
why you did what you did.
You weren't going anywhere.
We were
practically engaged.
You know the rumours? Of her
being a gangland boss?
Give it back.
You women.
Don't ever think
you're smarter than me.
Dad. Dad!
But everyone deserves forgiveness.
Don't you think?
If they prove themselves worthy.
I get that you want to move on,
Olivia. But I don't.
I'm
not going anywhere.
I need you to confirm the procedure
you're having today.
A lymph
node biopsy in my left arm.
Good.
I'm having some tests.
It's back?
Something new.
May have been fired, too.
You hacked my email.
Coming into my work like
that? How dare you!
I'm calling the police.
Tell them what?
You don't get to call
the shots, Melanie, ever.
He's been inside the house, Saskia.
I've got to get the girls
out of here.
I'll take them to Mum's
beach house. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
Nothing on Jakob Novak. No priors,
no arrests, no convictions.
We need to establish a pattern
of behaviour for the police
to look
into Jakob seriously.
There is someone who can help us.
I need to find other women
that he's done this to.
Who
are we meeting first?
Rachel Atwood.
I know. You think there's a way to
beat him, but you can't.
What if we take him on together?
Girl power, huh?
What did you
do to Rachel?
Rachel who?
If I've put her in danger
Rachel wanted to help.
How could he know?
I don't get it.
Ooh! Please. Please.
Good catch.
Nah, I love running.
Yeah.
Cardio's
a good workout.
It is a good workout.
You looked good out there.
You think so?
♪
All I need is right here
And all I need,
I've got here
And all I need is right
here, for me ♪
Yeah.
You're stalking a stalker.
No, I'm not.
I'm just
You are.
It is repeated visual
and physical proximity, so
What else am I supposed to do?
Stay away from him.
Oh, 'cause that worked
really well for Rachel.
I don't know. She's got a point.
But for the record,
I do think it's mental.
When I'm watching him,
I know we're safe.
Can't wait for you to see
my portfolio on Tuesday.
Thanks for the interview.
Bye.
Hello?
Lucia?
In the kitchen.
Thought I'd help
you get settled in.
And you're cooking.
One less thing for
you to think about,
given
the circumstances.
Cherubs!
Look what I've made you.
You can have as many as
you want. Thanks.
Hey. You're home.
Yeah.
How was the salon?
It was good. It was flat out.
It was crazy.
Dad. You're home.
Hey, Dais,
can you get Luce
ready to eat, please?
She
can get herself ready.
Go.
Can you wrangle the kids,
please? Sure.
Come on. Let's
go wash our hands, yeah?
Luci's been in my
stuff, again. (DOOR CLOSES)
Everything OK?
I
Dropped by the salon.
Janine told me that
she'd fired you.
He made it look like
I'd betrayed her. He
He's sabotaging everything.
You lied to me.
How could I tell?
I say his name and you lose it.
Oh, I wonder why.
He's making my life hell.
And you're helping him.
I can't provide for my
family because of him.
I
Can't live in my house.
And I'm the problem?
I don't need you to punish me for
sleeping with him.
I can do that myself.
(EXHALES)
Are
you getting a divorce?
Of course not.
Sounds like you are.
You don't need to worry You
had sex with someone else.
No
Wonder Dad hates you.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Here.
What?
Oh, my god. You
are sexy as all hell.
I am not.
Absolutely. Here. Here.
What?
I'll show you.
Dance for me.
Dance? Dance
for me. Just a little bit.
See yourself how I see you.
Yes! Oh, my god, yes.
It's so hot. But I think
this is getting in the way.
Oh, really? I
think I'd better get rid of it.
Alright, sure.
Go.
That's it, look at that. You've got
that natural rhythm. Here. Uh-huh.
Bye.
See you Thursday.
Excuse me?
Hi. My name's Melanie. Can I - can
I just talk to you for a minute?
Yeah
I want you to know that
it's very dangerous
getting involved with Jakob.
Excuse me?
I know what it's like
to be with him like that.
The way that he makes you feel
Have
you been spying on me?
I thought he was perfect, too.
When I broke up with him, he
He became
Oh, you're the jealous
ex. No, he turned into a monster.
Stay away from me.
Crazy bitch.
I want to save her from
going through what I did.
I get it, but you
have to be careful.
And it's not enough, going
to the cops with,
"Jakob's
got a new girlfriend."
Enough with toxic men and just
getting away with it.
I am not going to let him do this.
Well, just don't get arrested -
again. OK? Be smarter than him.
Seriously? That's your
considered legal advice?
It is, yes.
We shouldn't be encouraging her.
Melanie, let's catch up, talk.
I've gotta go.
Melanie, uh
She's hung up.
It's OK, I'll call her later.
Any word from the police
on Rachel?
There's no evidence Jakob's involved
in her taking off, apparently.
Where are you? It sounds
echo-y. Barrel Room.
It's weird acoustics. Bye.
Ciao.
I'm here to see Dr Reardon.
Your name?
Olivia Cotterill.
Not to underplay the
challenge of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
but you're young,
fit.
Can I call someone?
Your mum? A friend?
So,
the treatment plan?
We'd like to work on building
up your immune system first.
You should know that having
had chemotherapy previously
means there is an increased risk
of a bacterial or viral infection.
70% of NHL patients
survive beyond five years.
60%
beyond ten years.
Fuck!
My name is Kerri
and I'm an addict.
And I have to admit,
I can't make this change alone.
I invited my son
because I wanted him
to see
me taking responsibility.
But he's not here.
Not
that I blame him.
I was
never there for him.
I had to be at the pokies,
or the races.
It was
about what I needed.
About what was missing
in my life.
And now I'm seeing
the legacy of that.
I've
made him like me -
incapable of letting
someone love him.
That's on me.
That's my fault.
Yeah, remember
that first time?
That
garbage you brought?
Yeah, I threw it all over you.
Dad, you're supposed
to be resting.
Yeah, well,
someone's got to do the work.
Hey, no. Stop.
I'm worrying about you and you're
biting my head off?
Dad, you could
have been killed.
Oh, don't be dramatic! What
if I hadn't have found you?
It's just a knock on
the head, alright? I
Just don't go on and on.
I-I 'm not a bloody invalid.
You should know that
more than anyone.
We've We've done
the PH levels.
Buy you a drink?
You can
buy me a whole bottle.
So, when were you going
to tell me? Hmm?
Tell you what?
Young Gun of Wine?
Oh, nominated. I
haven't won anything yet.
Well, it's a lot easier to win
now that you've been nominated.
Couldn't have done
it without you.
Or Saskia's boot-load
of cash. True.
Ahh.
Hey, if you ever need to be picked
up from the hospital again, I
No, we're not talking
about that.
OK, well, seems like there's a lot
we're not talking about.
Religion, Middle East peace and
the return of high-waisted jeans.
No-one's
talking about that.
We could
talk about more wine.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
At your service.
I
Know. Always and ever.
You're such a good guy,
Oscar.
Whoa. Shit.
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
OK.
No, I mean,
we're friends, right?
Yes, yes. Yes. Absolutely.
I - I'm just - I'm just drunk.
I'm drunk. I'm
No, hey
No, it's fine.
It was just a drunk
pash thing.
Never mentioned again.
I'm going to, um
Oscar.
Nah, I've got to
(EXHALES)
Hello?
I was knocking but
you didn't answer.
Is everything OK? Fine.
Just jumping at shadows.
I was in the neighbourhood.
Right.
Problem with my phone.
I send this text -
cute emoji
and everything -
but no answer.
I mean, maybe it didn't go through?
What did Dr Reardon say?
Look at me.
Olivia.
Yep.
We can push back.
The conditions of sale
aren't amazing.
What, you think
there's wriggle room?
Ha. Always.
You know, partnership looks good
on you. Really good.
I'll
go back over this.
I'm sure we can give you
what you want.
That's what
I'm paying you for.
Bringing in new work.
I thought he didn't like you.
Oh, god, I think he likes
me more than I'd prefer.
Eugh,
he's one of those?
You know, I might be
reading too much into it.
You have a such a
good read on people.
Not losing your touch?
OK.
Depressing. What is it?
'A
Meditation on Loneliness'.
Somebody gave you that?
What did you do to them?
Was there a card?
No. Why?
Secret admirer.
Fuck off.
OK. Not joking. Right.
You know, I've never seen
this place in daylight.
OK. No chitchat,
then?
(MOANING, HEAVY BREATHING)
Fuck me.
Yeah? Yeah?
God, I miss being with you.
There
was a lot that worked.
Do you think Can you ever
see a way we could try again?
You
don't want to be with me.
More than anything.
Come on. It's
a nice idea but
It's everything I want.
I don't care about you
being sick.
Alex, I could
You'll get through that.
The treatment will work and
We know
what happened last time.
There won't be another Nicole.
Let me prove it to you.
You're really this sure
about getting back together?
Not just back together.
Marrying?
I mean, you'd have to ask first.
You know, yeah,
down on one knee
Yeah, yeah.
Very funny.
I mean, just the
thought of it's crazy.
Yeah, it's bonkers.
There is something you
should know first.
What?
Alex?
What?
It's my mum.
She's
She's alive, Olivia. She's not dead.
Sorry,
what? I don't understand.
The
car accident. The
You lied?
Again,
you lied to all of us?
You let
me feel sorry for you?
What's your first memory of Colleen?
Making soup when you were sick.
Picking you up from school on a
really hot day?
Mine is of my mum dropping me
at a bus stop in Albury
so I could hitchhike
to Uncle Jeff's in Sunbury.
Only, Jeff wasn't an uncle.
He was some random bloke
she knew had a spare bed.
I was 11.
And that's a good memory.
Jeff was decent,
compared to the others.
Gambling always came first
with Kerri. Always.
But why lie about it?
I would have understood.
Yeah, the first time was
at the start of uni.
You know, it was almost a joke,
to avoid talking about her.
And it felt good. It felt good
not to have that baggage.
You know, I could be someone else.
I could be someone better.
Over time, one stupid lie
gets bigger and bigger.
You end up
trapped in it.
And then Kerri turns up
wanting another chance.
Say something.
I want to meet her.
Oh. Oh, sorry.
Great.
Ahh. (LAUGHS)
Sorry.
I got held up.
By the bar?
I had some bubbly.
I was nervous.
Olivia! Oh, I've dreamt of meeting
you. So lovely. Let me look at you.
Aw,
you're beautiful! Aw!
You promised me.
Oh,
I had a little flutter.
I wanted to buy something nice
so you'd be proud of me.
Stop it.
Oh, no! We'll go for a nice
meal. My shout.
Stop.
Come on. I'll get you a cab.
He always was a grumpy bum. I'm
OK, Alex. It was only two glasses.
Yeah, and the rest.
I'm sorry. I should've
known better. Fuck!
Alex Blake.
Will you marry me?
What?
Don't think I'm getting
down on one knee.
After all that?
Say yes?
Yes. So yes.
Oh, my god, yes.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
(TRAIN TRACK BELL TOLLS)
Of course the ginger fuck
collects trophies.
The police will have to do
something now, surely?
You have to say you remember
it from the display village.
The police can't know what
you've been up to.
Where are you now?
Are you still on sentry duty
by his bathroom window?
I'm about to go into battle
with Daisy. Talk to you in a bit.
I'll give a lovely
eulogy at your funeral.
Huh, thanks.
What happened?
I'm fine.
Daisy punched Ava.
You punched Ava?
She's
always trying to trip me.
She's a total bitch.
Daisy!
We'll get Ava chocolates
and you will apologise, OK?
As you know, we have a
zero tolerance policy on violence.
The school principal
will be in touch.
Thanks, Sophie.
And you're grounded.
Because you
never do anything wrong.
OK, room, now!
And that's why you've got
to be very, very careful, OK?
Mmm, he's been a
very naughty boy.
He ran right into the
middle of the road.
Mmm. Yeah,
anything could have happened.
Thank goodness you were there.
Yeah, very lucky.
Gorgeous boy, aren't you?
Thank you for saving Fabio, Jakob.
Melanie!
Mummy, look who's here.
He saved Fabio from
being run over.
He's
quite the man of the hour.
Melanie! No, your mother-in-law
is far too kind.
How did you find us? He
saw my number on Fabio's tag.
You know, I should get going. Thank
you for the coffee, Mrs Heyward.
Oh, please. Lucia.
Lucia.
And the crostoli -
phew, amazing.
You're always welcome.
Isn't he, Fab?
Bye.
Bye, Jakob.
I'm just gonna see him out.
What the hell are you doing here?
You're still
not getting it, are you?
How dare you come to my
house? My house!
Say hi to Mikey for me,
yeah?
Sorry to miss him.
Bree.
OK. Jakob is upstairs with
the sales team
so
You have to be careful.
I can't thank
you enough for this.
Just give that smug prick what's
coming to him. His office is there.
You go in,
I'll keep a lookout.
Eric.
You're gonna have to get
national sales director now.
Yeah, like there was any doubt.
Where's my PowerPoints, dickhead?
I left them down in the office.
Then you'd better go
and grab them, then, hadn't you?
Bree?
Yes.
Bree, call the buyers from Sydney.
See where they are.
Yes!
OK?
Right.
Who's
this handsome rooster?
Ahh, this is Brett.
Brett, this is Jakob.
Nice work.
Lovely to meet you. Jakob.
Hi, there.
Hi! Hi.
Are you lost?
Have you got a party on?
I came to see the kitchen display.
I can show you the way. I just
Uh, and I'm a bit crowd-phobic.
Maybe you just need
someone to keep you company.
Maybe I do.
It's
not here. Anything?
It's locked.
Wait, wait, wait. The
keys. The keys.
Come on!
Nope. No.
There's so many keys.
It's
got to be in there.
Pray
it's the right one.
Come on, come on.
Bree.
Just a minute. Yes?
Seen Eric?
Uh, no. Forget
it. I'll go myself.
Um, but Jack's
ready to get started.
And we can't launch
anything without you.
Right. Right.
Change of plan.
Yeah, what did you have in mind?
The creepy shit.
Photos, emails, location
data. The lot.
That's it. That's the one.
Come on, let's go.
This app is
how he found you at Lucia's.
You want to see the master bedroom?
Never gonna happen.
We've gotta go.
Come on. Quick, quick, quick.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Give it to me!
No fucking way.
Give me my hard drive!
What are you going
to do, huh? Get your hands off her!
Ahh!
No
Jakob,
I'm calling the police!
Who the fuck do you
think you are?
Do
You think you're special?
Jakob, everyone can see you.
Look!
They can see you!
They were trying
to steal from me!
I was
trying to stop them.
Oh, come on, it's
me we're talking about.
Let's go, shall we?
Saskia, it's OK.
It's OK. It's OK.
He hasn't used
his mobile phone or e-tag.
No social media,
no credit card activity.
So you
have no idea where he is?
Or if he'll come
after Melanie again?
We're working our way
through the hard drive,
tracking
down the other women.
Saskia, you should
have stayed in hospital.
Stop
fussing. I'm fine.
It's
only been 24 hours.
As he runs low on cash,
Jakob will run out of options.
We will find him.
And until then?
Saskia. Sorry.
Christof's here.
Did
we have a meeting?
Well,
I hope you enjoyed the end.
Anyway, find a seat.
How did you go with
those sale conditions?
I'm still
working through them.
I do hear that you're quite
good at dubious transactions.
I think
that's a compliment.
I found the paper trail, Saskia.
Making 200K evaporate like that,
it takes some balls.
What
are you going to do?
Well, what I should do
is call the cops.
White-collar crime is quite a no-no.
If you were going to do that,
you already would have.
I thought we might find
another solution.
A nice room, fancy hotel.
It'll be fun.
See you tonight.
Wasn't sure you'd
be able to make it.
You
didn't sound like you.
Why the painting?
It was a gift.
I thought you liked it.
Painted by your wife.
About loneliness.
What's the game, Ginger?
There is one.
You tell me.
You knew I'd be at
the gallery, didn't you?
You wanted to see me.
You don't regret it -
blowing us up?
You knew monogamy
wouldn't work for me.
It was Olivia you fell
in love with, wasn't it?
Oh, god, really?
You're married.
What difference does it make?
You changed when she got sick.
Nothing happened.
Nothing will ever happen.
That's the point.
Olivia was your excuse to
avoid committing
because it
scares you so much.
Now here we are.
What is it, Sask?
Is it a money thing?
You could look a
little more enthusiastic.
Sorry to disappoint.
200,000?
Now we're even.
Doesn't mean we can't still fuck.
Over my dead body.
It's going on. It's lovely.
Ahh.
Are you - are you ready?
Yep.
How good do they look?
I know. New ones.
It's a good call.
Oh, you'll have to tell them.
I mean, maybe the girls
could use some good news.
I can't ask
them to be happy for us,
not with everything
that's going on.
And what you've got going on?
After the wedding.
We'll
let them know after.
OK, but once you start treatment,
they're going to know.
And your parents,
you haven't told them.
It's my call, OK?
All that can wait.
OK.
Well, until then, I'm
your dirty secret.
How
dirty are we talking?
(THEY LAUGH)
Daisy's not here.
What?
We're supposed to
meet the principal.
She's already in so much trouble.
Well, maybe she's with Mum.
We'll find her.
Jakob is out there
somewhere, Michael.
We'll find her.
Is she down there?
I'll
try the skate park.
What if she's not OK? She's
just wandered off.
Yeah.
Daisy!
Anything?
Mum
said she was down here.
Daisy!
She's here.
Is that your mum?
Oh, my god.
I don't know her.
She
definitely knows you.
Don't you know how
worried we are?
Anything could have happened to you!
Could you
be more embarrassing?
Who are these guys?
Friends.
We
Don't even know her.
I know what you're thinking, OK?
She's 12.
I hate you.
(ALL LAUGH)
Hey, hey, hey. What's this?
What's this? You OK?
(TRAIN TRACK BELL TOLLS)
(CRASH)
(TRAIN HORN BLARES)
But he's building
a compelling argument.
But the driver behind at
the train crossing
clearly ID'd him.
There's no conclusive evidence
what Jakob did was deliberate.
They'll say his
foot slipped off the brake.
His conviction won't
be a sure thing?
Even with his
attack against me?
Self-defence
and you were stealing.
The videos of women?
Illegal to distribute.
Not illegal to possess.
He can't get away with this.
Melanie won't be safe.
It depends
what judge we get.
I'm talking to the DPP.
That's not enough.
Not a call I expected to get.
If I've misjudged the
situation We both know you haven't.
Are you sure this is the right
choice for someone like you?
Someone like me?
You step over this line,
there's no going back.
So you can help me.
I'm going to give you
an address.
Now I'm gonna show you the proper
way to load and unload a revolver.
Just a hiccup, Melanie, OK?
I promise. I'm handling it.
Aim down toward the ground.
Finger outside of the trigger guard.
You
insert the ammunition,
then close the cellar. The whole
time, the finger is straight
and
never near the trigger.
Always keep the muzzle pointed
in a safe direction.
Always keep your finger
off of the trigger
until you are ready
to engage the target.
And always keep the gun unloaded
until ready for use.
In addition,
never point the muzzle
at anything you aren't
willing to destroy.
