Riviera (2017) s02e07 Episode Script

Welcome to Underland! Raoul.
Georgina will probably hate it.
They all will.
- Did you target me? - No.
I think you're trying to remember the moment we met; and decide if I was playing you or not.
I just want something in my life that isn't built on lies.
Adam is dead.
I killed him.
This is your father.
What if I told you that Constantine is still alive? No! I've done some things that I'm not proud of since you 'died'.
Some things you shouldn't forgive.
How does it feel to know that your first born son was murdered by Georgina? Georgina is there no way that we can find to fix this.
Don't you understand what losing you did to me? I would have lived in a tin shack with you.
- Is it serious with Noah? - I don't know.
I didn't think you would be around to ask me that.
Georgina? Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
No, not at all, I was just lost in thought.
When are you off? Well, I'm leaving the staff behind to pack up.
It was killing me.
His personal things? You know everywhere I look there's another little heartbreak; a scribbled note, his nerdy little glasses.
You know, I cried for two hours yesterday when the police told me that lovely little lapel pin I bought for his birthday wasn't among his effects.
I burned most of Constantine's things myself, I was so messed up.
At least we have our precious memories.
Raoul Kabala: my heart, my life, my soul.
No shadow will ever be dark enough to dim your beautiful flame.
I summon the love of our friends in this room to help me give thanks for your magic light.
It was beautiful.
Does this mean you'll be in the US for good? I can't stomach it here, knowing the police have given up.
Such a shame you're moving back to Miami.
Their failure was a disgrace and nothing less.
You now it doesn't get easier.
I find I'm becoming worryingly immune.
The choir was extraordinary.
Yes, I've, I've always loved that song.
It makes you treasure those you have around you.
It's a shame Noah couldn't be here with you.
I'm beginning to think art attracts loathsome bastards.
Present company excluded, of course.
We overheard Raoul's dealer from Cologne discussing when to cash in.
Yeah, his work has tripled in value, did you know that? That's the art world for you, unfortunately.
Let's try and focus on Raoul shall we? And let the vultures get on with it.
Come in.
Your car's ready, Mr.
Carter.
Yeah, thanks.
Hello! I don't need to ask how you're doing.
You don't look so great yourself.
My kids used to gather here with their friends.
Pool parties and barbecues, drunk teenagers throwing up in the planters.
I used to nag them about the mess.
You never met Adam.
He was no saint, but he had this intensity, this charisma I need hardly point out that he took after me.
How long are you planning to stew in a hotel? I just can't face her.
So, I've rented a Ferrari, and I'm gonna drive through the hills to distract myself.
Like a, Like a proper grown-up would.
Can I call shotgun? Sure.
It's almost as if he was never really here.
And we must convince ourselves that he wasn't.
Everything must go back to the way it was.
You can't command me to un-know what I already know.
It's a betrayal of Daphne to let this hang between us.
The secret.
Do you understand? So this is the last time we will ever mention it.
For your sister.
Of course.
Look, I'm very attracted to you too.
Excuse me? There is obviously a lot of complicated shit going on in your life right now I plan to charm you into helping me with something.
It's about a painting.
Wow, it looks amazing.
I'm gonna have Noah come over and take a look.
Are the authentication papers ready? It makes for pretty harrowing reading, I'm afraid.
The swastika stamp's real.
Philip Walker, your friend's grandfather, was given the Vermeer as a thank you from the Gestapo for his loyal service to the Reich.
It hasn't seen the light of day since then.
It looks like Noah will have to share his haul though.
The restitution team have flagged that a cousin of Noah's filed a claim to the Vermeer some years ago, should it ever be found.
I mean, I'm assuming that this cousin is legit.
I've been dying to see it.
And you.
Show me.
It looks more amazing than I could ever have imagined.
We got it cleaned and restored and authenticated.
The Nazi restitution board's very grateful for your tenacity in tracking it down.
Your cousin's really grateful too.
Your cousin, Odile, in Quebec? You know she's had a claim registered on this painting for years.
I'm not aware of a cousin.
Strange cos she's aware of you.
Well then, I'm glad to have been of help.
Well, I'm sure that she'd wanna thank you in person.
What's the time difference there maybe we should give her a call.
I, I don't know what your issue is My issue is that I think you've been lying to me.
Again? Please.
I'm not staying for this.
Well, if you're not lying to me, then stay and explain.
Tell me I've misunderstood.
Tell me that your cousin's a fraud and that I lack trust, because at least that part would be true! Tell me you haven't been playing me this whole time.
Because your cousin Odile thinks that you're dead.
My real name is Daniel Attali.
I met Noah Levy in the army.
We fought together, we trusted each other.
He was my friend.
And your friend, Noah, never mentioned a cousin Odile? I don't think he knew about her.
Or he didn't wanna share.
He wasn't like that.
Naomi and Pawel were his grandparents.
We were always going to go after the painting together.
It was the plan for after the army.
I said I'd help.
But he was killed by a sniper.
So, you decided to pursue the Vermeer out of some sort of loyalty to your brother in arms? Yes.
That's noble.
Are you sure it wasn't the twenty million dollars the painting's worth? I mean I get it, you had to be him, in order to collect.
Believe it or not, we don't all live to fill our bank accounts.
That's not fair.
I wanted to fulfil one of his dreams.
Ok, but why use your friend's identity with me? What do you have some dark secret that you're trying to cover up? Do you? It takes a liar to know a liar.
And there's something you've kept locked inside you since the day we met.
We've played around it, Georgina.
And you've found me out, but you? You're unreachable.
Whatever you think of me, I'm not going to apologise for sticking a gun in that Nazi's face.
I hope Lacroix rots in prison.
I'm proud I put him there, and I'm proud the Vermeer's back in safe hands.
To me, that's worth all the money in the world.
I stood at my sister's grave with Georgina when her dad passed.
It was plain and pleasant, like this.
The ugly secrets were all there.
Maybe I'm partly to blame.
I was fun Uncle Jeff one minute, parent to a grieving kid the next.
What did I know? I lied to her about her mother, I lied about how shit life could be cos I just wanted her to have good times for once.
Nico! Can we talk? Ok.
I can't help wondering, I knew him so briefly, what was he like? Constantine was charming and very generous.
He was also controlling, and secretive and dangerous.
He was extraordinary.
I thought.
What's that Gloria Steinem quote? 'The truth will set you free, but first it'll piss you off'.
Yeah.
Little of an underestimation in my case, but Well, the point is I'm done being pissed off.
Here come with me.
This is the only room of his that I didn't clean out.
You can come on in.
Take your time.
I can't quite get used to 'Daniel'.
You're leaving? What do you want? Ok.
I over-reacted.
But I've been lied to way too many times in the past.
And yeah, I wasn't totally open with you.
But I didn't even know who you were, right, so why don't we just scratch that and - Move on.
- I'm married.
What? You need the truth.
I'm married and we have a little girl, Clemence.
They're back home in Israel and they've been very patient with me.
Ok.
Does your wife know about us? Look, I hope you get to find some peace from whatever is that's haunting you.
You know nothing about me.
Exactly.
We were perfect for each other.
Hi Jeff, it's me.
I was thinking I could really do with hearing your voice right now.
Then I realised that's incredibly selfish especially after everything that's happened and what you must think of me.
Anyway, you're probably floating in the Caribbean right now, with the future Mrs.
Carter number five.
So, I'll leave you to it.
I love you.
I like it, I think it's gonna work.
- Ok.
- Ok! Brilliant, I'll catch up with you soon.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Fields full of grapes for wine you can't drink, it's nothing short of masochistic.
Oh wow, you've come all the way here to point that out.
I can't, I can't bear the distance between us all.
It's not making anyone happy.
Yeah, well what did you expect? I told you, your timing sucks.
Then let me fix it.
Come to the house, we'll have dinner like we used to.
Yeah, yeah, I'll speak talk to Ada, but she's busy starring in her own tragedy, thanks to that Eltham twat.
Maybe she wouldn't've needed such distractions if we pulled together as a family.
Look, if you're serious about mending things, you can't ignore the tension between you and Georgina.
I mean, it's You should be impressed I can bring myself to speak to that self-righteous preacher at all I'm staying out of it, don't want to know.
Will you help me? Yes! There's tea in the drawing room.
Shall we? I've erm, well I thought you should know, I've decided to sell the Fort to Georgina Clios.
What's brought this on? Well, she wants a permanent home for her collection, and I need to release some funds, if I'm going to stay here all year round.
Which is what I've decided.
Since I'm not going away now.
It's what I need.
But you said it yourself 'everything must stay as it was'.
For Daphne? Remember? Yes, yes, yes I know.
But she's married, now, and Henry's gone.
I have to make a life for myself.
Do you understand? Here you are.
- What are you two talking about? - Oh God, Daphne.
I do wish you'd stop sneaking about the place.
All I do, seemingly, is lurk about pissing her off.
But you do it so brilliantly.
Gold medal for me then.
She can hardly look me in the eye at the moment.
I suppose she's told you about her plan stay on here.
Well, if that's what she wants, hmm? Yeah.
Maybe I'll sail off somewhere lovely with Raafi.
Leave her to it.
But I should be lonely without you.
You come and visit or Find yourself a wife now that you've stopped corrupting that little Clios girl.
Do you ever wish that there were more of us? Elthams, I mean.
I think the world has enough on its plate with us two, don't you? Probably.
Hannah love, can I get a coffee? Thanks.
Thank you for coming to meet me.
I know you're a busy man so I appreciate it.
Not at all.
I was intrigued by your message.
So, what is it you wanna discuss, 'away from the house and face to face'? - I'm actually after a bit of advice.
- Ok.
But I'm really hoping that we can, you know, count on your discretion, it's a family matter.
I don't keep things from my wife, bear that in mind.
I need a lawyer, and I know your guys are the best.
Are you ok? I just need a specialist in probate.
Hey.
Ada and I are going to a barbecue later at mum's.
- Oh, sounds fun.
- We'd like you to join.
Mum want you to come.
I doubt that.
She wants to make peace.
Is that so hard to believe? Your mum usually has an ulterior motive, I'm just not up for it.
I'm not defending her, but it's the closest I've seen her come to an apology.
Just think about it.
Hey so, I was thinking.
I wasn't exactly the ideal parent, and you sure as hell weren't the typical kid, but we're all we had.
So how about I stick around a little longer, and we figure out how it all got so bad.
What do you say? I knew there was something off about him right from the first time I met him.
I even checked his wallet.
Yeah.
He said.
He's just as fucked up as I am, when it comes down to it.
But He has someone to go back home to.
You don't get to do what I did and walk off into the sunset.
I don't know if I'll ever come to terms with what you did.
But I am here to try to help you live with it.
There's something else I need to tell you before you promise me that.
I thought Irina was his first love? Yeah, so did she.
But it turns out Constantine and Cassandra were teenage sweethearts.
He was up there all along, fighting for his life with her by his side.
I ended up face to face with the man I thought I had buried and before I even got my head - around that, he was dead - God all over again.
It's all like some fucked up nightmare.
And I can't tell Christos, Irina, Adriana any of it, it would destroy them.
I'm trapped by my secrets.
I can't make this any easier for you.
I'm sorry.
And I'm not asking you to.
This was Constantine's escape plan? Yeah.
You got a light? Don't let it burn! - Do the back as well.
- Hey, Christos? Why is it that men get so alpha when there's a barbecue around? Ma, you wouldn't be that way if it were an omelette.
Sorry when did you last make an omelette? Darling, I haven't cracked an egg since the seventies.
Hey, Georgie! Hi! Jeff, what've you been up to? You know, croupier, yada yada.
Ok pal, cool your heels, we're about to get busy.
Come with me.
We need to find a way to move forward.
We have to trust each other.
No more making unilateral decisions, ok? It was your unilateral decision that brought us to this place, let's not forget.
I know.
And I am sorry.
But there's no going back now.
We don't have to like each other.
But mutual consideration is essential.
For the sake of the children I have left.
I'm working on it.
What about you? Hello, darling.
Help yourself.
Daphne's having a Kir, but I'm sticking to Chablis.
What is it? Nico came to see me earlier.
I think Cassandra, I think if there's any way you can manage it, that this would be best coming from you.
This is gonna be good for us, Daph.
You'll see.
You should have told me.
I wanted to know what our options were.
I spoke to Raafi and he said Oh God, don't think that I didn't notice how you used Raafi in all of this.
- Daphne - Oh, you made it obvious, and then you went and you hid.
And as ever, I was the last to know.
Daphne I I, I literally think my head's gonna explode.
Listen, listen, look at me ok? You need to stop with this.
Stop thinking emotionally and start thinking rationally.
Ok? Dad wasn't my father, Nico.
- I am fucking emotional.
- Enough.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
What was it like growing up as an only child? Oh, I don't, I don't really think that I was one after I moved in with Jeff.
I, we used to play these practical jokes on each other.
Oh my God, do you remember that? Yeah, I do.
She once forged my lottery ticket.
And I thought I won thirty million bucks.
So, I went down to the place and I was mortified.
I almost had a heart attack.
I mean I felt bad for like a second.
Nico! I'm sorry to barge in unannounced.
I went to Carmella and your housekeeper said you were here.
Look I really, really don't wanna spoil your dinner, it's actually my hope that your presence might improve things eventually.
Sorry, have you got something to say or have you just Listen, there's no easy way to say this.
Constantine Clios is my biological father.
If this is your idea of a joke, then I think there's something seriously wrong with you.
It's no joke, my mother assures me that Constantine and herself were sweethearts long before he met you, Irina.
- This is bullshit.
- No, it's not bullshit.
The blood test'll prove it.
- We're brothers, Christos.
- I think you should leave.
Yeah, I think you need Wait, everyone just calm down.
Nico, I don't think this is the right time.
Yeah, I understand that.
I was pretty perplexed at first too, but now - Yeah, thank you - I'm actually really excited.
I'm the eldest son in a whole new family.
- You need to - Ok, let it sink in, and we'll talk when you've had a chance, yeah? Now do you see? What's wrong with him? Hey! We agreed.
You came to my house and said you needed closure.
Constantine robbed me of my father.
He took my mother and my girlfriend, my very sense of self.
Am I supposed to just sit back and let everyone else profit from his violation? I think not.
You know what? Maybe I'll give you guys a couple of minutes.
I mean, it's obvious isn't it, he's after money.
Yeah, well you know what those English aristocrats are like with their crumbling houses, all wealth and no cash.
I believe him.
Well that's just ridiculous.
- Christos.
- How can you believe a word that comes out of that guy's mouth? Why would he lie about something like that? Because he's spoilt and arrogant and desperate to be the centre of attention, that's why.
If he is lying, he wouldn't've offered to take a test.
This is absurd.
Yeah, I mean, it's It's completely absurd.
What is it you're saying, that Adriana's been sleeping with her brother? - It's not true.
- Exactly.
Even if it's true, how could she have known? No, it's not true, he's not my brother! Stop! Just stop! Constantine is not my dad.
What? What did you Negrescu's my dad.
Hey, I gotta say, I thought I'd heard it all.
Who does that? What does he think he's gonna gain by ambushing us? Control, I dunno.
Look, the guy's an egomaniac.
After what happened with Constantine, I really thought I could trust him.
Yeah, his work has tripled in value.
Did you know that? That lovely little lapel pin I bought for his birthday, wasn't among his effects The whole show was geared towards his suicide.
I take it this isn't a social call.
You're really enjoying this, aren't you? The chaos that you cause.
You get off on it.
We're not so different you and I, Georgina.
I admire you, I really do.
You're one of the few people I actually do admire.
What did you take from Constantine's room? Nothing.
What did you do to Constantine when you were alone with him? What are you implying? You killed him, didn't you? I think it's fair to say that my mother killed Constantine, keeping him locked up in that foetid little room when he should've been in intensive care.
But let's not split hairs.
Why did you kill Raoul? Constantine and Raoul.
If that were true, I'd be some sort of evil genius, wouldn't you say? Getting away with double murder while the police flounder about like backward bed-wetters.
You're not getting away with it, Nico.
I'm coming after you.
Coming after me, with what? Don't be so pedestrian.
You're wearing Raoul's lapel pin.
This? It's beautiful, isn't it? Dime a dozen on Jermyn Street, but don't let me spoil your fun.
You're a psychopath.
Now that is interesting.
Prove it.
