Tangle (2009) s02e03 Episode Script

If I'd seen you last week, would you have known my dad was about to die? Yeah, we all know who the obvious choice is, though.
Well, Darren said as much.
Yeah, I know.
I just thought it'd be good if we had some options.
I mean, we know that you 're great on the phones, Nat.
It's just on the bigger screen, it's your age.
It really pops.
Are you sure you don't wanna stay here? You know, no decent bloke is gonna go near you for a couple of years.
They all smell fresh widow.
- It's just sex, Ally.
- Everyone does it all the time.
Even you.
You do have sex? Yeah, well, of course I have sex.
I've got two children.
Yeah, but hopefully more than twice.
Ally? It's no big deal.
No, it never is with you! Ally, I'm Ally! He was pretty scary, your dad.
Yeah, I know.
He'd be, like, "Let's go for a milkshake.
" And then suddenly you 'd be watching him smash some guy's window in.
And then you 'd go for a milkshake.
Yeah.
Looks like the premier's gonna be gone in a month.
We're gonna have a crack.
You 're kidding! We start tomorrow.
So that's why we're celebrating! Yeah! Didn't you have some big interview today? Oh, yeah, sweetheart! How did it go? I got it! They said, "Wait outside," and I got it! Brilliant! That's brilliant.
Tangle S02E03 - Desire Hi.
Are you pretending you didn't see me? I didn't see you.
I've left you about 25 messages.
What about? About the will.
The will has nothing to do with you.
Well, I'm named as executor.
I'm the one they're calling.
Fine! I'll happily leave you to it.
Are you following me? Don't lie.
I saw you at the tram stop and now you 're in my street.
I'm gonna get my brother.
He's really, really big.
You 're standing out the front of my house.
That's a lie.
Do you wanna try it yourself? I'm gonna watch you.
Be my guest.
I'm sorry about the tram stop.
You looked so euphoric.
What do you mean? Happy.
My dad died.
How long ago? Three months ago.
Time doesn't always make sense.
I thought I was the only one that thought that.
Ally! Ally! Oh, my God! You 're not gonna guess what's happened.
You OK? I found another will.
Does it leave everything to you? Gabriel's executor.
Is it signed? Yep.
In 1995.
I'll have to call Gabriel.
Well, he'll be happy about that.
Now we'll both be rich.
How are WE gonna be rich? Well, I will anyway.
Look at my bank balance.
I went to get some money out and I almost died.
Hence the champagne.
You can't go back to London.
Who said anything about going back to London? You can't leave me.
Not yet.
Oh, sweetie I'm not going to leave you.
Sorry.
Why did this have to happen? 'Cause you deserve a better man.
Don't say that.
You 're gonna come out to a party with me tonight.
It's time you got laid.
I don't wanna get laid! Of course you do! Everyone always talks about how grief makes you horny.
We're gonna have fun tonight.
You better open that.
Yeah.
Glasses? They're in the kitchen.
Well, that's why we're having a discussion, mate.
Well, nail 'em down.
Oh, well, call a spade a spade.
Jesus.
Yes, I know.
I need you.
And what do you need from me? Max.
- Well, let's just talk about it, alright? - Max! Max, come here.
We're in this together.
Well, we could be, you know? Yep, he's deadly serious.
Take these out for me.
You better be on the right side of this vote, mate.
Your talents have been overlooked for far too long.
I need you in my camp.
Mate, it's not a threat.
It's a reality.
You need to get used to it.
Mum can I eat in my room? Honey, I'd rather you joined us.
Well, when there's a lot happening like this, it's hard for me to hear.
Oh, fair enough.
Here you go.
Get some rice from the table.
Alright, we'll talk soon.
Let's eat while we still can.
So, what's the score, Spiros? It's not exactly in your favour, Tim.
But let's look at who's for sale.
There's Bock and McGuinness, hmm? Hard right.
Why would they? Well, there's a book on the high school reading list in which the lead character's parents are in a same-sex marriage.
They want it taken off.
Oh, well, that's pathetic.
Do you want to be premier, Tim? So taking it off the list will secure their vote? I think so.
And maybe they can pull Hale along with them.
What do you reckon? Sold! Done.
Uh, some rice? Mmm! Ooh.
Oh, God, let me do that.
No! Trust me.
So, what did Gabriel say about the will? I haven't called him yet.
OK.
Sorry.
Oh, hey, Romeo.
- Romeo! - Hey.
How was your day? Mmm.
Call Gabriel.
Hello! Hi.
Come in.
Thanks.
Voicemail.
Then why didn't you leave a message? G'day, Ben.
Say hello to Gabriel.
Hi.
So, how's the shoulder? No more pain? Ben? What? Gabriel asked if you 've got any more pain.
No.
Come into the kitchen.
I know his boyfriend.
I don't know him.
But yeah.
Where's Gigi? Well she's at home.
No, she wasn't home.
I can't believe I did that.
I forgot about Gigi.
Look, you were just thinking about yourself for once.
Don't do that.
What - remind you that you 're allowed to have a life? No - make me feel OK when I've done something really terrible.
Oh, wait a minute.
No, I've gotta go.
Oh, taxi! Gigi? Where is she? Where are you, darling? She's at Esme's.
I thought they weren't talking anymore! She's having dinner and then she's coming home.
No, we're going to a party! It's a really Why didn't you call me and tell me? No, you didn't! No, I don't have a message on my phone.
No, I want you to go home right now.
I'm coming home right now.
No! No.
She's not coming home.
I'm taking her out.
You 'll be OK, won't you? Alright, but I'm calling Romeo to make sure you 're home in half an hour.
OK.
Yep, love you.
'Bye! Come on, she's fine.
I hate the way you do that.
No, you don't.
Sorry.
Yeah, it's cool.
It's getting pretty late.
Have you ever done a seance? I made a ouija board in woodwork once.
Can you show me how to do one? Yep.
OK.
Hi.
Hi! Ah, we met earlier.
Yeah.
Um, do you need a drink? Oh no.
Actually, I'm searching for a beer, but everything's a bit posh.
Bingo.
Want one? Oh, no, I quite like this one, actually.
So I guess you get asked out by a lot of your patients.
Funnily enough, it's never happened before.
Mmm.
But then again, most of my patients are men over 65.
Not that that should stop them asking me out.
They probably just don't find me very attractive.
Mmm.
Well, I find you attractive.
Oh, yeah? Mmm.
Especially this part of you.
What, my chest? Your heart.
You HAVE to go home with him.
No.
Why not? What have you got to lose? Oh, my God, Nat! Well, tell me.
I don't know.
Good.
Then go.
I wouldn't even know what to do.
Well, don't do anything.
Just lie there.
Men don't care.
This is crazy! What about my children? I'll be there.
And we'll say that you went out early.
I'm sorry.
YES! You might even find out you like sex.
You might! And you look hot.
Really? Yes.
Absolutely.
So, how did you get into politics? You 're just making conversation.
No, no.
Not at all.
I'm interested.
My mother.
She'd chain herself to a tree if she thought it'd make a difference.
Tim Williams.
Yeah, sure.
Now's a good time.
As a kid, I was embarrassed by it, and then, as I got older, I began to respect her.
Right.
You done? Yeah.
Oh! Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey! Sorry.
I hate this! - Is that Peterson? - Yeah.
In or out? In, I think.
He's hard to read.
I promised him the world, but I still can't get a definitive answer.
Hey, it's Tim.
Now, look - you go with me and you 'll get treasurer.
I know you always wanted it.
Well, of course! Sorry! Well, McPherson'll be upset, but he'd never vote for me, and you will.
After my husband died, my big toe went numb on my right foot - just like that.
Isn't that odd? Numb big toe.
I'm sorry.
You bring some woman home and all she can talk about is her dead husband.
I don't know if I can have sex.
Hey, that's fine.
Ally, we don't have to.
No, I mean Not just Not just tonight.
I mean Oh, God, what do I mean? I mean I don't think I'm any good at it.
Come on.
Why would you say that? My husband had affairs.
I'm sorry.
I know I sound really pathetic.
I'm not really.
I'm not usually this pathetic.
It's OK.
Hey, it's OK.
I don't even know if I like it.
Gosh, you 're hungry today, huh? Didn't they feed you enough last night? They had corned beef.
And? I hate corned beef.
Hey, Gige, do you know where Mum is? Mum? Yeah.
Where has she been? Hi! Where have you been? I went out early.
Where? I I'm not going to mass anymore.
Mum? I got up early and went for a walk, and this was the easiest thing to put on.
To go for a walk? Yes, Gigi.
To go for a walk.
Sometimes it's fun to do something unexpected.
Does that mean you give me permission? For what? For the unexpected.
No! Have I ruined them for life? No! So what's that? I think he bit me.
In a good way? Yeah.
I think it was in a good way.
So it was good? Well, yeah.
I mean, no, um Well done! We could go to a gun club.
And do what? They have shooting alleys.
So, what, we stand next to each other with loaded guns and shoot? Mmm.
How cool is that? Don't think so.
My dad had a gun.
I found it yesterday.
He went shooting with his dad.
Yeah, and with Joe.
Is, uh that why you wanna go to the gun club? Dunno.
Kinda wish I could see him again, you know? Your dad? Joe.
Joe.
Sorry.
Reckon we should get some more weed for the weekend? I got you that bag three days ago.
Yeah.
It's, um, almost gone, eh? What have you been doing? Nothing! Man, you smoke too much of that shit, you 're gonna get paranoid.
No.
I'm cool.
You 're a bit paranoid now, aren't you? Bit paranoid.
Don't don't do that shit.
You 're a bit paranoid.
- It's not funny.
- It's very funny, Max! What are you doing? Gotta go.
Don't be a girl! Max! I'm sorry, alright? Hi.
It's me.
Yeah, I know.
Um, can you sign something for me? What? It's an application form.
I can't.
No, Dad had a gun.
It's no big deal.
Yeah, I don't care if you go to a gun club.
I just I can't sign that.
Why not? I have a record.
Like a criminal record? What do you think, I have a world record? What did you do? Let's not go into that.
Just Maybe get your mum to sign it.
No, I don't think so.
G'day, stranger.
Hello.
You 're obviously here because you miss me.
Yeah, course I do.
So, why don't you drop in and see us? Ally would love to see you.
Oh, stop! Oh, come on.
She's not in great shape.
Yeah, well, neither are all the people that work for Vince's company, 'cause they're pretty much up the creek.
Look, if she doesn't wanna speak to me, she should at least speak to the lawyers.
Yeah, alright, I get it.
You know, you 've hurt her.
I've hurt HER? Look, it's shit there's no will, alright? There's another will.
What? She found another will yesterday.
Signed? You 're the executor.
And she loves you.
It's always dangerous getting involved with sisters.
Am I involved, am I? Just be kind.
Joe! I don't even know why I come.
I'm gonna serve lunch at St Jude's tomorrow.
Wanna come along and help? Why? Why am I doing it or why do you wanna come? Both.
You 'll work it out.
And remember, even if you weren't gifted this week, you might be next week.
So we'll see you then.
- And we've cut.
- Just hold positions for a moment OK, that's a wrap for you, Nat.
Great.
Thanks.
We're gonna record some promos before the show next week.
Alright.
When can I get the scripts? When they're written, darl.
Hey, good timing! I've just finished.
Mwah! Stay right here.
I'm just gonna grab my bag and I'll be right back.
Sure.
No worries.
- Hi.
- Hi! I'm Conrad.
I'm Nat.
Yeah, I know.
I'm a big fan.
Oh, I love meeting fans.
Um, look, Mel and I are gonna go for a drink.
I don't I don't suppose you 're free to join us? Yeah, I'd love to.
Great! How was How was the shoot? Hey, Gige, is Mum making dinner tonight? Nuh.
Alright.
Come on, we're going out for pizza.
Just you and me? Yeah.
Come on.
We better tell Mum.
Pssh! She's not gonna care.
You sure? Yes.
Come on.
I loved it! It was sort of like 'T he Big Breakfast'.
Right.
Which was a great show.
Not.
So, why'd you come back? I mean, I would have thought there'd be more opportunity for you in the UK.
Oh, yes.
Yes and no.
But I think there's something to be said for being a big fish in a small pond.
I'm sorry - what sort of fish did you say you were? - So, what's next? - What's your plan from here? Oh, I I PLAN to stay here and enjoy this drink with you.
What about you? I have no plans.
I plan on being sick if you keep talking in that accent.
Seriously, why do you talk like that? Weren't you born in Frankston or something? - What do you do - Conrad? Hello? Oh, shit.
OK, I'll be there soon.
I'm in the media.
His family owns the media.
Settle.
What's up? Oh, there's trouble in the edit.
Annoying.
I'm gonna have to go in.
Do you wanna share a cab? I can drop you home on the way.
I wouldn't mind staying for another drink.
Um, I'm gonna have to go.
Yeah.
I can find my own way home.
I'll talk to you soon.
See ya.
Her job's pretty stressful.
Made all the more difficult by the fact that she's a complete bitch.
I like you.
Well, I like you.
Oh, hi, Max.
Yeah, look, I'm in the car.
I'll be home soon.
Well, just order yourself a pizza.
I think there's some money in the top drawer of my desk.
Uh, well, just, you know, go and have a look and see if it's there.
Yep.
Yeah, you got some? OK.
OK, then.
Well, I'll see you soon.
Hi! Were you waiting for me, or? No, no.
No.
Well, you know Well, I was, yes.
Um I'm just very worried about Tim.
If this doesn't work out, he'll be devastated.
Why don't you come in? Oh, no, no.
At least get out of the car.
So Do you think Tim will be premier? Yeah, that's the plan.
Boy! I feel that we're playing a very dangerous game.
I didn't think you wanted to play.
I've got a lot to lose.
'Bye.
'Bye.
How much is this angle here? 120 degrees.
Mm-hm.
And how much is this angle here? 120 degrees? Right.
So if that angle and this one add up to 180 degrees, and you already know this one is 120, then this one must be 60? Correct.
Yuck.
Olives.
Just take them off.
Don't go on about it.
You sound like Dad.
You know, it's weird not being a wife.
The structure goes.
Does that sound weird? No, it sounds like a relief.
I had sex with someone.
What? It was probably the bravest thing I've ever done in my life.
Who with? No-one you 'd know.
Ohh that'd be great! What? Oh, you know.
That feeling, you know, when you first fall in love and you can't stop thinking about them, and you 're trying to work out how you can get together and Nup.
I don't want that.
Huh! Really? Do you want that? Tim's had that feeling.
With Nat? Ah, that's just a fling.
No, no, he really fell in love with her.
He just couldn't help himself.
I mean, and if he hadn't fallen in love, well, then we wouldn't have Max.
Nat being pregnant - well, that was probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my life, but when Max came and lived with us, that was, um the best.
I got my little boy.
You are a good person.
I don't think I'll ever justify Vince's affair.
Hello.
Hi.
How are you, Romeo? Yeah, OK.
Chatterbox! - Come on, Gige.
- You should go to bed.
Do you think my rabbit would just be a skeleton by now? I don't know.
What would eat it? You know, when it's in the ground.
Bugs.
Insects, worms.
I don't know - whatever lives in the dirt, really.
Do you think Dad's been eaten? Yeah.
Probably.
Sorry.
I'm confident, but I'm not certain, if you know what I mean.
Mmm.
Well, I'd vote for you.
Would you? Why? Um, because because I don't think you 're in it for the power.
I think you 're really trying to make the world a better place.
Thank you.
Eh! Are you looking for these? 'Cause they were in my jewelry box.
Hey, don't forget - the car will pick you up.
Yeah, see you there.
What are you doing? Get in the car.
Nuh, I'll get the tram.
Get in the car! Why were you sitting there? I don't know.
You must know.
I just felt like sitting down for a minute.
Why do you care? Well, of course I care.
It's my job to care.
That's a change.
What does that mean? Nothing.
Have a good day, darling.
'Bye, Gigi.
'Bye! So do you wanna serve the food? Oh, sure.
You wanna do the beef stroganoff? OK.
Just serve it up.
- Do you like beef stroganoff? - Yep.
Ta.
There you are.
Enjoy.
It's, um, beef stroganoff Here, I'll do that, will I? OK.
There you go, mate.
Some rice? And this is beef stroganoff.
There you are.
Hey, um Any chance I could maybe stay with you for a week or so? Sure.
Don't you have to get back to Broome? Well, I'm l'm sort of rethinking my career opportunities.
Yeah.
- Some rice, mate? Little bit extra? - Thanks.
Put some meat on the bones.
Bit of rice, buddy? Thank you.
And this is beef stroganoff.
Thank you.
You 're pretty.
Oh! Thank you.
Can I give you a hug? Um OK.
Mmm.
Oh, lovely.
Nice big hug.
OK, Stan, that's enough.
Stan! I like her.
She's pretty.
I know.
That's enough of the hugging.
OK, go on back, have your lunch now.
That's Stan.
He's one of our regulars.
You OK? Yeah! Best hug I've had all year.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Thank YOU, Paul.
Take a break.
Hello! Hello, Stan.
Thank you.
Hey! Hey, let her go, you fucking idiot! Piss off! Get out of here! - Just breathe, mate.
- You 'll be alright in a minute.
Jeez! OK, come on.
We should get that looked at.
Come on, you can stand up? Yep.
Good.
You 'll be fine.
So remember, the 'P M' audience is educated, so you 've gotta hit some specifics.
The fuck-up on the road toll? That's not our fault, but it has to be dealt with for the people of the State.
You can say nice things about the premier.
He's dead, so don't piss on him.
- Oh, no, slightly piss on him if you can.
- Got it.
Push the view policies won't change, but your implementation of them will.
Focus on Hello? Yeah.
You 're on in about 10 seconds.
Hey, Tony? Oh, good, mate.
No, I have a huge amount of respect for I wanna see you.
He really went for you.
Mmm.
I suspect he wasn't the cleanest person in the world.
No.
OK.
I'm gonna clean out the wound for you and I'll write you up some antibiotics.
I'd leave it uncovered, but if it starts weeping, then I'd put a dressing on it.
But first I'll give you a tetanus injection, so can you take your cardigan off, please? Sure.
Ooh, what happened there? Oh, that? Oh, nothing.
That happened ages ago.
Not another bite? No, no.
Hmm.
Do you often work with the homeless? First time.
And last.
Maybe.
OK, here we go.
Mmm! Yep.
All done.
Thanks.
Oh, I had unprotected sex.
Oh! Er when did this happen? Two days.
Mm-hm.
And do you think you 'd like to take the morning-after pill? Um yes.
OK.
Well, you don't need a prescription, but I'll write down the name of it for you.
It's called Postinor, and you can get it from any chemist.
And you should take it as soon as possible.
Now, are you worried about sexually transmitted infections? Well, I didn't know him very well.
OK.
Um, come and sit down.
Now, just so I know what tests to take, can you tell me whether the sex you had was vaginal, oral or anal? Just normal.
Vaginal? Yes.
Mm-hm.
And did you have oral sex? Um yes.
Mm-hm.
Did he do it to you or did you do it to him? Um he did it to me.
Sure.
Uh, anal? No.
Right, OK.
Well, it's a bit early to do the tests yet, but I'll give you something for Pathology.
You just need to take a urine sample down to any of the labs listed and you need to do that in two weeks time.
Right.
Yes.
And, um, how about using condoms next time.
It was unexpected.
Well, maybe keep a few in your handbag.
A gift.
Thanks.
With 39 for and 35 against, the motion to declare all leadership positions vacant is carried.
Order! Order, please! Thank you.
Are there any nominations for the position of leader of the party in the Legislative Assembly? - Warren Daly.
- Seconded.
Do you accept the nomination? Yes.
Tim Williams.
- Is there a seconder? - I second that.
Do you accept the nomination? Accepted.
Anyone else? I nominate the premier, Tom Dance.
Seconded.
Do you accept the nomination? I do.
What the fuck is he doing? I don't know.
I call a 10-minute adjournment while the returning officer prepares the ballots.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Yeah? Hey, it's me.
Just came to get the will.
Nat said you found it.
OK.
Where is it? Oh, it's over there.
In that yellow envelope.
Sorry I haven't rung.
Mum was attacked by a homeless man.
I wasn't attacked.
Is that a bite? - A human bite? - Mmm.
You 've been to the doctor? And what'd they say? They said to take some antibiotics.
And have you taken them? I'm going to.
You need to take them as soon as you can.
Bites can go bad fast.
I'll go to the chemist tomorrow.
Where's the prescription? It's over there.
Romeo, can you go to the chemist and get this filled for your mum? No, I'm going out.
Could you do this first? Oh, look, I think Mum can do it herself, OK? She's lying in there on her fat arse.
You fuckin' lazy little prick.
Fuck off.
No, you fuck off.
Mate, it's my house.
Fuck! What the fuck was that? What are you doing? What's going on? He crow-pecked me.
Why? What did you do? I'm going out.
Fuck! Hi.
Can I get this filled, please? Do you want the Postinor as well? Uh, yeah, sure.
I'll get that as well.
Won't be long.
You need to take these three times a day until they're finished.
Why did you hit Romeo? Because I've had enough.
I've had enough too.
I can't hit anyone.
Yeah, well, you 're not me.
I, uh, got you the morning-after pill as well.
Oh.
Might make you feel a bit nauseous, but you should take it as soon as you can if you think you need to.
Sure! Hey.
Hi.
Do you mind if I take a shower? No, go ahead.
Do you wanna watch 'Gossip Girl' with me? I taped it.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, I meant Joe.
But you can watch it too if you want.
It's OK.
I'm gonna go back to bed.
Thank you.
No worries.
