Under the Vines (2021) s02e03 Episode Script

Season 2, Episode 3

1
DAISY: That's a local. We need to stop.
LOIUS: Daisy, she's holding a turkey.
MR. TALBOT: My wife rushed
to get him to the vet,
but her car broke down and
Mr. Gobbles didn't make it.
We should have picked up the turkey.
I'm confident we'll get our
line of credit this time.
I want to make sure Oakley's
in a sound financial state.
GUS: You're not out, are you?
Gus, I choose to be in the closet.
I'm putting my career first.
If I lose my audience, I lose my life.
MARISSA: Welcome to Shimmering Lake,
Philippe Bidois.
Another winemaker named Bidois?
Some of us think this is a strategy.
I'm your cousin.
PHILIPPE: You are raw.
But with guidance,
you could be brilliant.
NIC: Doctor David.
Oh.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
This is just like "Downton Abbey."
This is nothing like "Downton Abbey."
Hey, why do we need to treat
the bank manager like royalty?
Because he's coming to
do his final inspection
prior to approving our line of credit.
Our future is, quite
literally, in his hands.
Without that, we we won't survive.
Well can't be any worse
than the last time we
met Mr. Talbot, can it?
Well, I mean, Mr. Gobbles was
never gonna make it anyway.
Who's Mr. Gobbles?
Oh. And new rule.
No one is to say anything about turkeys.
Turkeys? Who's talking about
Did you say anything turkeys?
Why are we talking about turkeys now?
No. Does Mr. Talbot like turkeys?
Ah! [GASPS]
Ooh.
Why is he bringing his wife?
Oh, God. I know that look.
- Hello, Oakley Wines.
- LOUIS: [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
- Hello, again.
- Hello.
Oh. Never had one of those before.
[LAUGHS] Hello. Gus.
- How are you, Tippy?
- Hey.
- Nice to see you.
- They said you were here.
- Oh.
- I couldn't believe it.
- [LAUGHS]
- And here you are.
Yeah. Yep.
- Here.
- Ah, yeah. Here I am.
- Yes, ah Mrs. Talbot, big fan.
- [LAUGHS]
I loved you in "The Brothers
of the Harvest Moon."
- So good.
- Thank you.
[AMERICAN ACCENT] This
is my brother's land.
You will not take it from him.
- [GRUNTS]
- That's the line. [LAUGHS]
[NORMAL VOICE] That's
the line. That's it.
Wonderful. No, we're all
we're all big fans of,
um, of of of Griff.
Shall we, ah, start with a guided tour?
Good idea.
Why does that look familiar?
Oh. [LAUGHS] What kind of hostess am I?
Look, I'll make the tea,
and Griffin can fill you in
on all the gossip
from behind the scenes.
How's that?

[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
- No.
- [GASPS]
Don, no.
This is for Philippe.
A little moment to make
him feel at home here.
[SCOFFS]
I remember the halcyon days when
you would bring me baked goods.
Don't be silly. I brought
you a scone last week.
Anyway, you know what they say.
"L'appetit vient en mangeant."
And if he wants to set up a camp
down in our vineyard, then
I'm going to take the
mountain to Muhammad.
Mm. Or the macaroons to Marcel.
MARISSA: [LAUGHS]
Philippe ?
I've brought you, ah, some, ah
Hello ?
Philippe ?
LOUIS: Well, as you
can see, we've made a
a huge amount of, ah, improvements.
We've got the the tasting room,
the new planting, the,
ah the new pergola
- Mm.
- or, ah, or perg-oh-la.
[CHUCKLES] Well, color me impressed.
And, ah
ah, and and here for some reason,
we have a a man, um
ah, [LAUGHS] meditating.
- Yeah.
- Ah, ah. [CLEARS THROAT]
Is it true that, ah, turkeys can't fly?
Ah. Well, domestic turkeys can't fly
but actually wild ones can. [LAUGHS]
- Really?
- Yes.
Really, that's, ah,
that's that's fascin
Ah, step this way.
I'll show you some of our, ah,
some of our newer newer planting.
Thank you, Gus.
You sort that out.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Bonjour, Tippy.
"Griffin, I'm about to do
the love scene with you.
I thought we could maybe run lines."
- [LAUGHS]
- Yeah.
He's just so good at
telling stories, isn't he?
Oh, yes, isn't he, though? [LAUGHS]
Oh! Here they are.
Ah, so how did we do?
Oh, excellent.
Excellent. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, I'll be able to
sort out the paperwork
once we get back from
our, ah, trip away.
But, um, I'm happy to report
all signs point to approval!
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- MR. TALBOT: Congratulations.
That's splendid, absolutely splendid.
Thank you.
Something has been
bothering me about your car.
MR. TALBOT: What, the old Citroen?
I can't help but think I've
seen it somewhere before
Oh. No, no, no.
You wouldn't have seen that. No, no.
Because, um, it's
hardly ever on the road.
- It's always breaking down.
- Yes. [CHUCKLES]
- It's an absolute turkey!
- Sorry?
DAISY: No turkeys. I
mean, I'm [LAUGHS]
Just you know, when
I was growing up I, um
I-I had bush turkeys.
Well Well, no, I didn't have them,
because they're they're wild.
But, well, I used to feed them.
I'd walk out and they'd
coming running. [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]
- I gave them all names.
There was
Chanel and there was
- Karl Lagerfeld.
- Oh.
Gucci and V-V-Versace.
Ah. It's just they're
they're magnificent
creatures, really, aren't they?
You know, I knew there
was something about you.
- DAISY: Oh.
- Yeah.
You were so sympathetic when,
ah, Mr. Gobbles passed away.
- We were? We were.
- We We were. Yeah. We were.
MR. TALBOT: In fact, you could
be the answer to our prayers.
Would you mind taking
care of David Bowie for us
while we're on holiday?
David Bowie?
MRS. TALBOT: It's what
he's named his new turkey.
- Oh.
- MR. TALBOT: Yeah.
So would you mind?
I mean, he's very affectionate.
- Is he?
- Mm.
Oh, well,
what kind of person
would I be if I said no?
[LAUGHS]
Have you, ah, examined my offer?
You didn't tell me what you
thought about The Stanley.
You don't need to pretend
like my opinion matters.
You know it's good.
Good but not great.
Under my tutelage, you could blossom
from good to exceptional.
A true Bidois, to make
our family proud, ah?
- Who says I need you?
- Well, you don't.
If you don't want to be
better, that is for you.
Good morning!
I'm assuming from your, ah
your general, um
that you're Shimmering
Lake's new French vintner.
- Louis Oakley.
- Philippe Bidois.
Mm. Tell me, ah, Philippe
is there any particular
reason why you were
meditating on my land?
Your land? Hmm.
The voice of the colonizer, no?
Oh [LAUGHS] well, the
French are hardly angels
when it comes to, ah, colonialism.
Ah, yes. But the English needed
to invade other countries
because they had no
cuisine of their own.
LOUIS: [LAUGHS] Of course
we don't have any
have any great chefs in England, do we?
No, we've we've
got, ah, Gordon Ramsey,
we've got, ah, Marco Pierre White,
we've got the, ah
the other one the other one.
He He With He makes
food with chemistry sets.
Yes, but they all came to
France to study their craft.
Well, they they they, um
Well, you're you've
got stupid clothes.
I mean, I do not know where
he gets off being so smug.
I mean, the French are responsible for
some of the worst atrocities in history.
I mean, they invented the
roundabout, for heaven's sake.
I'm sorry, Jay. It's your last day.
You're going back to school.
You shouldn't have to
listen to all this rubbish.
It's okay, Dad. I get it.
I mean, I don't want to
talk about leaving either.
But
You know, I'm kind of looking
forward to seeing home again.
Okay.
JULIAN: You'll be okay here, won't you?
You'll have everyone to look after you.
Like Daisy.
Jay, [SIGHS] we've been through that.
Besides, she's, um
Well, she's got a boyfriend now.
So, it's your last night.
What What do you want to do?
Maybe we can work on the rocket plans?
That sounds perfect.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Fly safe, okay?
You all better help my
dad finish our rocket.
You know, keep him busy
so he doesn't miss me too much.
Oh Do you know what?
Ah, I have to head into town, so
why don't I join you for
the trip to the airport?
That would be lovely, Daisy. Thank you.
I'll just get my bag.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[BREATHES SHARPLY]
Mm.
Well, [SIGHS] that's that. [SNIFFLES]
- You all right?
- Yeah.
You know, we've got a lot
of work to do, Daisy Monroe.
- We do indeed, Louis Oakley.
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Oh. It's
Oh, how are things, ah,
going with Dr. David?
Ah, oh. It's good.
Oh, good. Good, good.
HILARY: Stop, thief! That is my bag!
Oh, God. We should do something.
[GASPS] Oh, yes. We should.
Hey, excuse me. Give me that!
- Oh, Daisy!
- No!
- Hey!
- Get off me, you nutter!
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Stealing from an older woman!
- What?
- What would your mother say?
She'd say it's my bloody bag!
Oh, he's absolutely right.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
M-Mine must still be on the carousel.
- Sorry.
- You're all crazy.
I'm sorry about my
friend. She's Australian.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Embarrassing.
Have you just come back from somewhere?
Ah, I've been in Auckland.
Dropping Paige off to her Mum.
Oh. Is she having a holiday?
Well, a girl's place is with her mother.
I think I'll go find my bag.
Ah
Well, that was strange.
It was strange, right?
That was strange, but then
again, when isn't she strange?
- She's
- Oh
Madder than a box of frogs.
- I
- Right. [SIGHS]
We should go.
We've got an appointment with a turkey.
- Yes.
- Mm.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
It's all right. It's all right.
DAISY: Hi!
MR. TALBOT: Hi, there.
Ah, well. Here he is.
The goblin king. [LAUGHS]
Oh. That's cute.
Is that because he's
always gobbling? [LAUGHS]
- Ah, no. It's "Labyrinth."
- Ah. Oh.
Ah, da, da, da, da.
Just, ah, he's a bit car sick,
so just maybe give him a few moments.
- Oh.
- MR. TALBOT: Yeah.
Now, these are his vitamins, okay?
Yellow ones every second day.
Uh-huh. Food.
You've got your dry feed
in the morning, there,
and wet food in the evening.
Plumage conditioner.
Just rub in as required.
Use your judgment there.
- Oh. [CHUCKLES]
- All right.
And these are his
anti-anxiety medications.
- Anxiety medications?
- Yeah.
Well, he has a stressful
life as full-time show bird.
I mean, don't make a big
deal out of it, just
slip them in there.
Oh. Yeah. His bell.
I taught him to ring a bell. [LAUGHS]
So, ah, yeah.
Make sure he rings it
at least twice a day
so he doesn't get out of practice.
- Okay?
- LOUIS: Yeah.
Great.
Thank you so much for doing this.
I can't tell you how much
I appreciate it. [LAUGHS]
- Bye.
- Bye.
Who's my big boy then, eh?
Who's my big boy?
Don't you go ch-ch-ch-changing.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
Take good care of my David.
- Mm.
- All right. [LAUGHS]
- Bye-bye.
- DAISY: Bye!
Have a good trip!
Bye.
Well, this just brilliant.
[SIGHS]
Well you were the one
that refused to stop
and pick up Mr. Gobbles.
Send not to know for whom
the bell tolls, Daisy,
- it tolls for thee.
- Oh. Ha.
Well, listen up, Quasimodo,
we are in this together.
Listen, as you're the
great turkey lover,
the responsibility for
the not-so-Thin White Duke
- lies entirely with you.
- Oh. Ha. Fine.
I'm perfectly capable of
looking after a dumb bird.
Just a reminder
Mister Talbot hasn't yet
signed on the dotted line.
That "dumb bird" holds
the key to our future.
DAISY: [GASPS]
Oh, my God! Where is David Bowie?
- Oh, God.
- Ah!
Okay. So, what does he look like?
LOUIS: Well, he looks like a turkey.
If you If you see a
turkey, just bring him to us.
NIC: Why is he called David Bowie?
Like, has he got a
lightning bolt on his face?
Or is he sexually ambiguous?
DAISY: No, no, no, no. He's
just He's just a turkey.
We're looking for a very big turkey.
Can I be of assistance?
Oh, God.
[SIGHS]
It's Philippe. It's my cousin.
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- Enchanté.
- Bonjour.
- DAISY: Hello.
Ah, thank you, Philippe.
We could use all the help we can get.
PHILIPPE: Be like the war, huh?
Englishmen united
together in a common cause.
LOUIS: Yes, yes. I
remember how the French,
ah, surrendered early in
order to encourage the Allies
- to fight harder.
- Louis, be nice.
- Hm. Sorry.
- Ah, apology accepted.
No. I wasn't talking to you.
Ah. Okay, everyone.
Let's go find David Bowie.
Nic, you come with me.
NIC: David Bowie!
[GOBBLES]
Ah, ah. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Listen.
Can you hear something?
You're very red in the face.
Well, I'm stressed!
We've got to find that bird!
Our line of credit is in his paws,
hands, wings whatever.
Yeah. You have been pretty stressy.
- Well! [SCOFFS]
- Maybe it's, you know,
- it's the the menopause.
- Ah! Shh.
It's just use your inside voice.
But we're outside.
There is no meno mm
meno men nothing is paused, okay?
Everything is working
exactly as it should.
Subject closed.
Okay, then.
Hey, how are things going with Dr. D?
Oh. Well, that's, um
It's great. It's It's really good.
Um, it's only been a few
weeks, but it's it's
it's just so
Sexually overpowering?
Ah no.
It's It's just really easy.
I mean, we really connect, you know?
Even a one-word text is meaningful.
Oh, he's good at sexting.
No, texting.
We don't, um
- He's just He's respectful.
- Mm.
- Nice.
- [SIGHS]
Vic's idea of sexting is
sending me provocative pictures
of vegetables he seen
at the supermarket.
- Oh.
- It's surprising how
a well-placed aubergine
can be so arousing,
because they're really
smooth.
Ah
It's funny, isn't it?
And here I am caught between two Davids.
Both of them represent a future.
Mm.
Admittedly, one's a turkey
but I really like him.
The turkey?
- David.
- Bowie.
No, Doctor.
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- Okay.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
LOUIS: Hi, Hilary.
HILARY: Oh, hello.
Bit of an urgent issue, I'm afraid.
We're missing a turkey.
Long story short,
our financial future rests
on finding the bloody thing.
We thought it might have, ah,
crossed the boundary into your property.
Haven't seen anything.
I tell you what, I'll give Roger a call.
He was here working for me this morning.
Great. Thanks.
Ooh. Do you mind if I pinch a brownie?
Oh, go ahead. Help yourself.
I didn't realize you partook.
- Hello, Roger.
- Mmm.
HILARY: They're looking
for some turkeys.
Ooh. They're bloody good.
HILARY: Ring around?
Yep.
Well, Roger is ringing round the troops.
And, ah, he'll get straight back.
Great. Very important we find that bird.
- Mm. Oh.
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES]
No. No, it's not a call.
Just means the battery is getting low.
Have you noticed everything
beeps at you these days.
Refrigerator, car, microwave oven,
personal pleasure equipment.
- Yeah.
- Ha. Beep.
- [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]
Oh, keep an eye out for
my charger, would you?
It's around here somewhere.
It's just there.
Oh. 'Course it is.
[SIGHS]
Paige used to be in charge of
putting everything back
in its proper place.
You must, ah You must miss her.
I'm fine.
I know what it's like to
have something so familiar
suddenly so far away.
You're right.
There is a Paige-shaped hole in my life.
Shared DNA connects us,
1but ooh, it's love that binds us.
I couldn't have put that better myself.
If you don't mind me asking,
what prompted her to
return to her mother?
HILARY: Well, my daughter
seems to have finally managed
to get her life together,
and she wants to be a parent again.
- Mm.
- Simple as that.
Some things just happen
in their time, Louis.
And there's not a lot
we can do about it.
Fair enough.
Well, if you ever want to talk, um
Daisy is very good
at that sort of thing.
[CHUCKLES]
That's very odd.
My hands are suddenly incredibly hot.
- God, and my feet
- Oh, yeah.
That'll be the special
brownies kicking in.
[LAUGHS]
S-Special? Those are special brownies.
Well, I thought you knew
when you said you partook.
But I had two.
Two.
Have another.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Oh, I don't understand.
How far can a turkey get?
It's like it's done a
complete vanishing act.
Um
Daisy
[GASPS]
Oh, my God.
The cat has got the turkey!
[SIGHS] How am I going to tell Louis?
He'll be furious.
[LAUGHS]
Do you know, I've seen I've
seen you with no clothes on?
Oh, yes. You and every
courier in the district.
That's That's one of the
drawbacks of being a naturist.
- [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]
Hilary, you know you do
bake an excellent brownie.
[LAUGHS]
You're You're pretty baked yourself.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- Oh. Hello.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Hilary speaking.
- [LAUGHS]
- What?
That's a TV remote.
[LAUGHS] So it is.
I was wondering where that had gone.
- [LAUGHS] Ohh.
- Ah
- Oh, it's Daisy.
- All right.
Hello hello, Daisy.
No. No, I'm I'm here with Hilary.
Ah, she's waving.
There's no sign of
There's no sign of the turkey.
Mm.
Oh.
Oh, right.
Goodbye.
What?
No, it's serious, very serious.
David Bowie is dead.
Oh, yes. I know.
But while he might be gone,
we will always have his music.
[LAUGHS]
No, not not that David Bowie.
- What?
- David Bowie.
David Bowie, well he's a
well, he's a he's a big boy.
And he's got a kind
of he's sort of got
a bit of a flap of skin
that hangs down there.
- Flap.
- But it's like a sort of sack.
- Wattle.
- Like yes.
Oh, what are we gonna do?
Well, maybe we could
give him a few bottles
of The Stanley and he won't notice?
Ah.
- Maybe a kitten?
- Hey, just a thought,
but doesn't one turkey look
pretty much like another?
- [GASPS]
- Yeah.
That's it! That's it!
You are both brilliant.
We get a replacement turkey!
Yeah, but where are we gonna find
another turkey in Peak View?
Um
LOUIS: This is David Bowie?
This is David "Bough-ie"?
Bowie.
Is there life on on Earth!
Is there life on Earth?
Is there?
Is there life on Uranus?
Uranus.
Is there life on Uranus?
Uranus. Uranus.
Uranus.
Sorry, Officer. I, um
I was just trying to
remember the lyrics to a song.
I I-I'm not just saying "Uranus"
for the sake of of saying Uranus.
I think you should probably
stop saying "Uranus" now, sir.
Yes, I will.
Also, I think the planet
you're looking for is Mars.
Mars. Of course.
So is there any reason
why you're walking down
- the middle of the road?
- Ah, yes. Yes, there is.
Um, ah, I'm going home, um,
ah, I live at Oakley Wines.
My name is Louis Oakley.
My business partner
is called Daisy Munroe.
Ah, my national insurance number is
NL 296001 P.
Sir, are you currently
under the influence?
Yep.
Yes, yes, I am.
Um, I, ah, I-I ate some brownies.
- Ah
- But they didn't tell me
that they were actually infused
with the devil's parsley.
So, ah [CLEARS THROAT]
And I-I know I shouldn't be, ah,
in charge of a motor vehicle.
You're not.
No. You're right. You're right, I'm not.
And, ah, and that, in fact,
makes me a responsible cits citizen.
- Yes. I can see that.
- Mm.
Now, I would suggest you stick
to our more familiar biscuits.
Toffee Pops and Shrewsbury's are nice.
Certain locally made
treats can be gateway
baked goods to more serious cookies.
Right, well
I'll be more careful next time.
Thank you very much, nice
motorcycle police lady.
Ah. Apologies, I meant
to say that in my head,
rather than actually
out loud. And that too.
And And And also
that bit too actually.
Well, safe travels Louis
Oakley from Oakley Wines.
Just stick to the
side of the road, okay?
I will.
Thank you very much.
Welcome.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[CHUCKLES]
Rowan, you have excelled yourself.
He looks exactly like David Bowie.
David Bowie was that
boomer singer guy, right?
Did he look like a turkey?
- How very dare you.
- Ah. No, no.
But he is perfect. Thank you.
The perfect crime.
Mm. [LAUGHS]
[GOBBLES]
You found him.
Ah, no.
But while you've been off
doing whatever you've been doing,
I took the matter in hand
and solved our problem.
Behold our replacement David Bowie.
- Oh, splendid!
- Mm.
Ah, but didn't David Bowie
used to do a-a-a special trick?
With a bell.
Oh. God, I forgot about the bell.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
I've got this.
[TURKEY GOBBLES]
I've got this.
And I still don't understand
the importance of the turkey.
You know, for me, it is for Christmas.
La dinde aux marrons.
Mm.
But I am glad it is all fixed.
And we perhaps, ah, we may
have some work to do together?
No?
You feel that?
I do.
You need to go.
I need to go.
You're beautiful.
You're amazing.
And I believe in you.
[GOBBLES]
So just ring the bell.
Ring the bell. Like this.
- [SNORTS]
- Like that.
I-I know I should put a stop to this,
- but I can't stop watching it.
- LOUIS: Ring the bell.
- Like this.
- It's strangely mesmerizing.
Gosh, I wish we had some popcorn.
Um, you could always try gobbling.
- Do you think that would help?
- Well
Oh, God. I'm ridiculous, aren't I?
Oh, I don't know. I think you could have
a future as a turkey whisperer.
- [LAUGHTER]
- We have a problem.
- What?
- The frost is coming.
Oh. And the White Walkers
will descend from the North.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Is frost bad?
Yeah. It's bad.
Very, very bad.
The timing is terrible. We
could lose the whole harvest.
So what do we do? How do we stop it?
Essentially, we've got to
keep the air circulating
so that the ground doesn't freeze
and damage all the grapes.
No grapes and it's over.
No vintage, Oakley is dead.
Oh.
TIPPY: Some vineyards have
fans, others have helicopters.
Well, what can what can we do?
This is Martha. It's our
frost-fighting machine.
And right now, it's our only hope.
- Except it's damaged.
- GUS: Yes.
Something happened to
it in the quake, I think.
I-I don't know. It wasn't really
a priority to take it apart.
Gus, do you want me to help you?
Oh, ah, you probably need to get home
and look after your own vines, I guess.
No, no. We're on higher
ground, like Hilary.
Vic is in Queenstown, but I'm
totally happy to stay and help.
Oh, thank you.
In the meantime, we've
got to get moving.
It's gonna be an all-nighter.
Oh.
[SIGHS]
Everything all right?
Yes. I've got to call David.
Date night is off.
LOUIS: Yeah.
I guess so.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
MARISSA: Where on earth have you been?
I have been at Oakley
Wines, finding, as you say,
the way the land lays.
Ooh. Spying on the opposition?
No. I do not spy.
MARISSA: No. Of course not.
You must, of course,
follow your process.
We wouldn't dream of
interfering in that.
Look, there is no time for this.
A frost is coming, I have felt it.
MARISSA: But, ah, we are highly unlikely
to have a frost at
this time of the year.
Yet still it comes.
MARISSA: Well, I haven't
heard a peep from MetService.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Mm.
Frost warning.
Certainly feels like the
temperature has dropped in here.
That feeling that you are feeling?
That is humility.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Ah!
Just the man I wanted to see.
[GRUNTS]
There's a frost coming.
Thank you, Don. Yes, we know.
It's the first frost for you,
and we normally all pitch in
and help each other out.
We'll be fine. Thank you.
- Louis! Is Is
- [SIGHS]
- Is there a problem?
- No. Everything is fine.
We've already had your French
contingent here today as well.
Yes. I-I heard he'd been
round. I'm sorry about that.
He He said he just wanted
to get to know his cousin.
[LAUGHS] Did he? Mm.
It's quite a coincidence, isn't it?
You hiring a a Bidois.
- Or Or was it?
- No.
We were just looking for
the best person for the job,
and Philippe happens to
be by far the best person.
You just happened to hire our vintner's
more accomplished and famous cousin,
who, once he tumbled into town,
happens to turn up here
immediately, lurking about.
Come on, Louis.
The decision was a business
one, pure and simple.
You'd have done the same thing.
I very much doubt that.
Look, business is business.
It doesn't mean we can't be friends.
No. I've tried that before, Don.
That's why I'm here
and my business partner
is sitting waist deep
at some pool bar in
the bloody Caribbean.
Right.
Well, ah
I just came round to
warn you about the frost
and to see if we could do
anything to help you prepare.
No. No, thank you. You
You take care of yourselves.
I mean, it's business, after all.
Right.
Mm.
Well, have a good evening and, um
good luck.
Yep.
Martha is 98.8% there.
Ah, unfortunately that 1.2% is like
crucial to her operation.
Well, that's not much.
GUS: True. Ah, ah, it's not.
Except, um it is.
It's her ignition switch.
Okay. Well Well, can't
we just get a new switch?
[SIGHS]
- Ah
- What?
One One One second.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Yep.
Don't tell Julian we
borrowed the rocket switch.
Oh. Where's the turkey?
- Oh, for God's sake!
- [TURKEY GOBBLES]
GUS: And we're ready!
Fire in the hole!
Gus! Wait!
- [GASPS]
- [GASPS]
Oh, my God.
Oh, the poor thing!
Why do we keep killing turkeys?
Should we have a moment's silence?
Maybe we should've
called him John Lennon.
- Why?
- He was killed by a fan too.
[SCOFFS]
I need some space.
What happened here?
Martha blew up.
TIPPY: I thought Martha wasn't working,
so I've been trying to find frost pots.
- Great idea.
- What are frost pots?
Yeah. You fill these
containers with fuel,
line them up, and then light them up.
Instant heat.
TIPPY: Where and when you need them.
The warmth will help save the harvest.
Well, that that's brilliant.
Yeah. But we're going to
need a hell of a lot more.
Anything metal we can get our hands on.
Okay. Let's get to work!
- Great.
- Yeah.
Oh, thank you, Nic.
Ah, Hilary said she'll be
here with some more soon.
This isn't gonna be enough.
We won't be able to save all the vines.
Well, maybe it's time we
called Don and Marissa for help?
No. I'm afraid I've already
burned that particular bridge.
- Oh.
- [SIGHS]
Tippy, life is about hard choices.
You've got to
choose which grapes to
save, which to sacrifice.
I don't want to sacrifice any of them.
- Well, neither do I.
- [SIGHS]
I guess the front paddock is
the most vulnerable to frost.
Okay.
I thought you might need these.
Does Marissa know you're here?
When family is in trouble,
that is where I go.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
My dad would've been
stoked to see me doing this.
His son the farmer.
You're not a farmer.
I could be.
No. No. My grandad used to say
never use a silver spoon to shovel mud.
Am I the silver spoon in
this particular scenario?
- You're the shiniest spoon.
- [LAUGHS]
You're the spoon that gets
brought out only for visitors.
Like Mrs. Talbot, you know?
She sees what I see
that you're magic,
and, you know, you shouldn't
be used for instant coffee.
You should only ever be
kept in the sugar bowl.
Gus, that's really sweet, but
no one wants me right now.
Okay. But have you even asked them?
No. I guess I could
put some feelers out,
test the water.
It is morning in LA.
Yeah.
- You should do it.
- [MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[GRUNTS]
- Hilary. [SIGHS]
- Oh!
Oh, don't sneak up on me like that!
I didn't.
- Now, um
- [SIGHS]
Well, don't just stand there. Help me.
I am gonna help you.
- Come on.
- I'm stuck.
Right, ah Hold on.
- Thank you.
- Not at all.
- Ah!
- Come on.
Hilary, Hilary, Hilary, Hilary.
- Ow!
- Maybe maybe
Let's Let's go and sit down.
[SIGHS]
So, the mistaken luggage,
the missing but not
missing phone charger,
and the answering of calls
on your remote control.
You know, my mother lost her sight
when she was rather young.
And when it deteriorated,
I became her eyes to some extent,
making sure she didn't grab the salt
instead of the sugar in the supermarket,
that kind of thing.
And I used to read to her at night.
[SIGHS] Romance novels.
Her favorite was, ah, Jilly Cooper.
- Raunchy.
- Well, yeah.
But, ah, Jackie Collins, Hilary.
Jackie Collins was was worse.
Ah, I was only young, I had
to skip over the naughty bits.
[LAUGHS]
The point is I know what
it is you're trying to hide.
HILARY: Okay, fine. Fine.
It's macular degeneration.
The The The fast
kind, but no big deal.
So what are the options?
You've got drops, surgery.
No, no. I am managing this myself.
And thankfully the
dope helps relieve the,
ah, the ocular pressure.
Isn't that for glaucoma?
Oh. Well, thank you very much, Doctor.
Louis, it's nice that you're concerned,
but I'm I'm perfectly
capable of self-medication.
And let's just keep this between us.
Not a word, right?
Right.
What on earth are you wearing?
Mm? Oh.
It's, um, Stanley's
frost-fighting hoodie.
Seemed appropriate, and I was cold.
Yeah. You Australians love
shortening words, don't you?
Well, what would you call it?
Ah, well, I would call it a, um
I-I would call it a hoodie.
Ah. See, so we're both good at
shortening things then, aren't we?
Including the lifespans of turkeys.
Oh, God. Don't. I can't
even think about it.
What is Mr. Talbot going to say
when he finds out that
we're responsible for
Turkey-geddon?
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- You know what we need?
Something a little more
warming than a hoodie.
Oh. No, I'm toasty warm in
this, thank you very much.
No, I was thinking more whiskey?
Oh. Ah
Oh, why not. It's gonna be a long night.
Be right back.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
I'm actually quite, ah
whew, a bit, um
hot.
Oh, God. Oh.
[SIGHS]
Oh, God.
Bloody
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[SIGHS]
Ahh.
I am spectacularly torn.
- Oh! ha!
- But as a doctor,
I would recommend a
little more clothing.
Mm. [CHUCKLES]
What are you doing here?
Well, it sounded like you
could use some help, and
I really wanted to see you.
And I find myself always
wanting to see you.
Oh. Ah. [LAUGHS]
Are you all right?
Do you Do you need anything?
Ah
Actually, I I think it's hormonal.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Ah.
Menopause
is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Oh.
Well, it's not very sexy, is it?
Means I'm
Beautiful.
Funny.
Kind.
[SCOFFS]
Getting old.
- Yeah, I guess.
- Oh.
Thanks very much.
[LAUGHS] Getting old is a gift.
Easy for you to say,
all strong and handsome.
I know it's not the same thing,
but if I told you about
how my body is failing me,
will it make you feel better?
I haven't noticed anything failing yet.
I'm nearly deaf in my right ear.
- Oh.
- I have bursitis in my hips,
I groan when I get out of a chair.
But, you know, it's
all part of the process,
and I think I'm doing okay.
I think you're doing more than okay.
You're amazing, Daisy.
You've got this glow.
I think that's
that's probably just
the hot flash. [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS] I think it'll pass.
In fact
why don't we
sit down
and just ride it out together.
I think that's a lovely idea.
[LAUGHS]
Where's she gone?
You all right, Louis?
- Ooh, whiskey.
- LOUIS: [LAUGHS]
Whiskey. [SIGHS]
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF, DOOR CLOSES]
NIC: Babe, you made it.
Thanks for your help.
You didn't have to.
I did. A Bidois will never ask for help,
but will always graciously accept it.
- Also
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
no grape deserves
to be rendered useless.
Ah. Frost will be here soon.
We're not gonna have time to
put down all the pots, are we?
GUS: Tippy! More pots over here!
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
TIPPY: We need to
start lighting the pots
that have already been fueled.
There's no time to
fuel or place any more.
We have to focus on saving
as many grapes as we can.
But we've only got a quarter
of the vineyard left to do.
Realistically, Tippy,
do we have enough time
to light the rest of
them before the frost
does too much damage?
Maybe if we had another half-hour.
- [SIGHS]
- [HELICOPTER ROTORS WHIRRING]
Can you hear that?
Look!
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
It's
It's Don. Hello, Don?
I'm not doing this out of friendship.
This is a business decision.
If your vines fail, it
reflects badly on us all.
Ah
Thank you, Don!
My bird is at your disposal.
I can buy you some time
to get your pots lit.
But how did he know?
Merci, Philippe.
Make a start on the back paddocks, Don!
We're working our way up from the front.
Roger that.
Oh, and, Louis, there are
some reinforcements on the way.
Oh, Daisy. Look!
[CHEERING]
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[HORNS HONK]
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
It's my agent.
What are you waiting for?
TIPPY: Thank you, Philippe.
We couldn't have done this
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
NIC: when the
helicopter flew right over
- GRIFFIN: Yeah, man.
- Mmm.
Thank you, Gus.
DAISY: Oh. Yeah.
I don't like it when
they get that close.
- No.
- Mmm.
Okay, then.
See you then. [LAUGHS]
- Bye.
- These are so good.
- So good.
- That was the Talbots.
- So good.
- They're coming home early.
- This morning.
- LOUIS: Oh, Christ.
They're gonna be expecting
to see, ah, a turkey.
What What are we gonna do?
We're just gonna have to come clean.
Oh. All that work for nothing.
Do you need a turkey?
I can get a turkey.
- DAISY: What?
- Yeah, no worries.
I can get one here in about an hour.
Vic Vic, it's got
to be a big plump one.
VIC: Again, no worries.
I'll see you soon.
So our future rests with Vic.
He's never let me down.
He won't let you down either.
Even if he looks a little bit like him,
he's still not going to be able
to ring the bloody bell, is he?
Well, we'll have to cross
that bridge when we come to it.
- Here he is.
- VIC: One turkey!
And it's pre-stuffed.
- [GASPS]
- They're coming!
Oh my God. Vic, Vic, hide it. Hide it.
DAISY: [GASPS]
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
Vic!
What was that?
[LAUGHS THINLY]
- MR. TALBOT: Hello, there.
- [LAUGHS]
- Hello.
- Mm.
Well, ah, where is
he? Where's my big boy?
- Um
- David!
- [GOBBLES]
- He
Well, ah, Mr. Mr. Talbot, um
Ah, and and and
indeed Mrs. Talbot
- [GOBBLES]
- Ah, we
Well, we live in, um, ah,
ah, ah, ambiguous times
- Mm.
- And, ah, [CLEARS THROAT]
sometimes one is faced with, um
- oh, I'd say unexpected
- Mm.
- ah, challenges.
- Mm.
And sometimes things happen
that are completely out of our control.
Just Just really distressing events.
Yes, indeed. And, ah
And I think David Bowie
[CLEARS THROAT] David Bowie himself
probably said it best when
when when he said
[BELL DINGS]
[BELL DINGING]
There he is! My big boy!
GRIFFIN: I think that's
the original Bowie.
Rosie, give them their documents.
Congratulations.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
Your line of credit.
He worked on it the whole time
we were away on our romantic trip.
Congratulations.
- MR. TALBOT: Where's David?
- [TURKEY GOBBLES]
I think you've put on weight.
- Cheerio!
- LOUIS: Bye!
[SIGHS]
I cannot believe we did it.
You know we were literally
saved by the bell.
Promise me one thing.
Mm?
No more turkeys.
Oh. Only at Christmas.
[LAUGHS]
- Hello, everybody.
- Hello!
- Well done! Thank you!
- Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
MARISSA: Philippe!
About last night
we simply cannot have you
appearing and disappearing
whenever you feel like it.
You don't just want to win, no?
You, ah [SNIFFS]
You want to destroy Oakley also.
Am I right?
No. Of of course not.
We We are thrilled when our neighbors
and competitors find success.
PHILIPPE: Of course you are.
But you should trust me, Marissa.
I have everything in hand.
For Oakley, I am the, ah
fox in the hen house.
They simply have not realized it yet.
