Where are ya going? d Previously on Filthy Rich... Where are ya going? To stop it. I'm not your brother. I love you, Savannah. Savannah's gone to see the cops. She's gonna say she did it ` killed Karl. I wanna tell you what happened with me and Karl that night. She's made a full confession. No, she's lying. It's bad news, I'm afraid. Where are you? I'm at the club. Your mother has a lot riding on my support. He doesn't know me, right? I can do something. How would you like to meet Lloyd Maxwell? He's planning to take over Truebridge Hunt. Joe's moved out already? Oh! Shit! You're too good to sink to his level. I'm just going crazy with anticipation. Is that for us? No. Let's go. You talked to me about reopening this place. Oh! SHOUTS: Annabelle! BOTH GRUNT Stop it! Oh! Oh! BOTH GRUNT, PANT That's enough! Stop! Stop! I didn't start it! Look, I know` I started it? I'm not the one who threw a bloody brick through the window. I'll see you, Joe. Don't run away (!) Bye, punchy girl! Just leave it alone, OK? You're taking her side? She was here to apologise. Oh, how very sweet of her (!) Well, go on. Go after her if you want. I can always tell Daddy dinner is off. Dinner with your father? I dropped my principles and grovelled. That's how far I'm prepared to go for you. When is it? Tonight, if you're interested. I am. Very. You know, it wasn't nice to walk in and see you all warm and cosy with your ex. We were just talking. But she would 'forgive you anything'. Does that mean me? Or is there something more? No. You'd better not be lying, naughty boy. You got into a bitch fight? Don't say that. Well, she's the bitch, obviously. Not you. Who won? I punched her. Oh my gosh, that's awesome. It was awful, and Joe and I were finally starting to talk about stuff. What? Well, what kind of stuff? He said he had to break up with me, that there was this hold over him. And you just` You what? You believed him? I don't know. Oh, he is such a hypocrite. Can't you see that, Ariana, after everything he has done to you? I can't let hate rule my life. And Joe and I have this connection. Oh, let's not forget he's connecting all right, all the way up bloody Annabelle Maxwell! (SIGHS) Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard-line with him, you know. I can't stop him from doing what he's doing. But maybe if I wait... What? So your plan is to just mope around like some love-struck teenager? If I hold on to what I believe in, maybe he could come back. OK. OK. If that's how you feel, then I respect that... as your friend. You are a very good friend to me. And I mean to prove that. Earrings in or out? I guess in is good. It kind of fits my profile. Profile? Yeah. Lost, messed-up girl who really needs help. Are you sure this is going to work? I turn up. Act tragic. Look. 'Hey, mister, um, I really hate to ask this, but can you please help me? 'I ran away from home and then someone stole my money and...' I guess it might work. And then I just record everything he says on my phone. What? Do you not think I'm up to it? I just don't want anything to happen to you. This is our window to catch the minister of creepiness! And we need justice. I'm coming along. Why? So you can call me, text me if anything goes wrong. OK. Come on. Please don't treat me like an idiot. You obviously knew that girl. No, I didn't. She got it wrong. But why was she calling you Zac? Wonderful. You're just in time for dinner. Great. I'm calling it The Crude because it's raw, rustic and rude. Why are you lying about this? Sounds juicy. It's not interesting at all. Shame. I do sort of know her from down the coast, all right? Why did you lie? We sort of hooked up once and` You gave her a fake name. I know. It's bad, eh? Well, at least I get to know the real you. Evening. Hi. What's happening with Savannah? When I spoke to her she was at the club. Why would she go there? I don't know. Well, get down there and find out. > She kind of wanted some time alone. Take it from me ` she's got no idea what she wants right now. Take my car. I'll give it a shot. Thank you. Hi, girls. Dinner's nearly ready. Actually, we're just going to the movies. OK. Have fun. Don't be late. BOTH: We won't. Wow. What do you want? I'm here to see Lloyd Maxwell. What the hell are you wearing? Clothes. Those shoes will play merry hell with my lawn! I'm not about to walk on it. Daddy, this is Joe Tamatoa. Joe, this is Lloyd Maxwell. It's good to meet you, sir. He's the Truebridge? One and the same. > Well, let's go and have some tea. < I can take you off afternoons if that works better for your kids. Now, Friday-Saturday we've got quite a big night` Hey, there. I'll meet you girls downstairs, OK? What's going on? We're back in business. You're kidding. Nope. So moving on here. I know you don't want to talk to me. You got it. But I said some stuff to you before you went to the cop shop; how I felt, who I really am. Now, does any of that really matter? It does. Brady would care about it. I'm not going to be saying anything to her. She's worried about you. No. All she cares about is the company. Vannah, look. Losing your mum ` I know it's huge for you. Thank you for the thought, but` I care about you. We all care. Please come home. Look, you're a good guy, Vader. You can have a good life. Go. You heard the lady. Piss off. Yeah, we got things to do here. Sure do. And, Vader, don't come back. Daddy loves retro food. Savoury mince on toast, without the toast. Food that's real, like Gran used to make. Yeah, great. Made from my own breed of organically raised lambs. Raised with a little help from the staff. It's all in the breeding. And made with my own heirloom tomatoes. You do know that thousands of breeds are disappearing? No, I didn't. I am preserving genotypes ` developing new ones. You mean your gardeners do. Otherwise we're all on a hiding to nowhere. So, young man, you've brought some new blood into Truebridge Hunt, eh? Yeah, I guess. Yeah. It's not just you, though, is it? John Truebridge had three sons. And there's a daughter too. Yes, yes. There's the older, useless one. And you? Where are you in the pecking order? I am the eldest, apart from the useless one. And what's the younger one like? Alpha? Vader? He's` He's a good guy, just, um, not very ambitious. Weakling. And you? You well? No sicknesses? Nope, I'm fine. You see? Interbreeding. Hybrids. They always make the best specimens. And, Joe, where are your mother's people from? Uh, Samoa, I think. Oh, I would have said Cook Islands myself. I take an interest in these kind of things. I might go and powder my nose. See where they're at with the rice pudding. Of course. So, you used my daughter to get to me. Why? (SIGHS) You've been buying up shares in Truebridge Hunt. On the sly. And I have shares in Truebridge Hunt. A lot of shares. So I figured we should talk. Finish your mince. Oh, OK. Wish me luck. I'll be here if you need me. Be careful. I will. OK, here I come, creep-face. OMINOUS MUSIC (KNOCKS ON DOOR) PHONE RINGS PHONE WHISTLES Hello? Hey, foxy lady. What are you wearing or not wearing? Just leave me alone. Oh, come on, you don't want a rematch? I thought I'd let you know my plans for tomorrow in case you want to throw a coffee in my face. Stop harassing me! (WHISTLES) 5 VOICEMAIL: This is Grace. If it's gossip, leave a message. Hey, what's going on? I'm freaking out here. Get that booked in for tomorrow. Did you find Savannah? She was at the club, all right. Why didn't you bring her home? Because she didn't want to come, OK! I don't understand. Look, I knew she'd be strung out about her mum, but she was... strung out. Oh, you mean drugs. Yes, I mean drugs. She says she wants to reopen the club. Then that guy Snake turned up. DOOR CLOSES NANCY: Who's that? Some lowlife with gang connections. He makes Karl look like a choirboy. Hey, honey. How was your movie? Terrible. I walked out. Night. OK. Night. Well, I'll go see Savannah. I'm not an expert, but I don't think you're going to get through to her right now. Not if she's on P. P? OK, fine, this can wait... till tomorrow. Goodness, Daddy, that was scrummy. You hate rice pudding. I was trying to be conciliatory. Don't bother. She likes to prattle on about nothing, just like her mother. Will that be all, sir? Thank you, Nick. So, where were we? Oh yes, your shares. Possible mutual interests. Well, I can give you another five minutes. I like to be in bed by 10. That's a while off. In my bed in Glenorchy. Near Queenstown. The air's fresher down there. My chopper will be here presently. So, sonny, what's your pitch? I've got some ideas about getting back to grass roots. Oh, go on! I haven't got all night. Um, I want to make a difference. There is no way that I can sit on that board and allow a casino to go ahead in Northland. It's Annabelle. You're not a fan of gambling? Good lord! You're kidding me` We're not here to listen to you tittle-tattle! Actually, Daddy` It's the height of rudeness! So, you're a do-gooder? What's in it for me? Thanks. We'll be there as soon as we can. That was Hunter's neighbour. There's a problem at the apartment. A fire. Really? Look, I'll tell you what. Why don't you stick something in an email for me, young Truebridge? (SIGHS) We should go. JOE: Thanks for your help. Lucky they were here. Whoever did this wasn't much of an arsonist. I think it was more about sending a message. She's very determined, isn't she? Ariana wouldn't have done this. Wake up and smell the smoke, darling! She threw a brick through the window, and she punched me. I don't believe it. She called me tonight, making threats. When? During dinner with Dad, when I was in the loo. And, I mean, I was just going to ignore it. I'll talk to her, OK. Sweetheart, I think it's time to take this somewhere more official. The cops? No, we're not doing that! There is such a thing as too far. I mean, this is getting dangerous. I'm actually, like, a little bit scared. Unless you want to call them? Hello. Yes, I'd like the police. Thank you. Hello. Oh, sh` Mother, what a surprise. I've been at the opera all on my lonesome. Tosca! Ah, I completely forgot. Madame Butterfly. Yeah. Where have you been? Just taking in the night air. You smell of smoke. You're not on crack are you? No, it's probably just my, uh, you know, little brain burning up with so many thoughts. This working thing... Honestly, it feels amazing. We are full steam ahead on the poster house. And you are going to love the press. Will I? Uh-huh. > Good news is our new brand. What's this about a directors' meeting? Mama,... have you been snooping again? As general manager, I want to present phase two of the TBH transformation. And how much is that going to cost? I've done a budget, and horror of horrors, it all adds up! CORK POPS < Very clever. Mm-hm. I just want to prove to you that I can do a good job. You see? You need a shower. PHONE BEEPS (SIGHS) Did you see page seven? What? 'TBH leads the way.' That's you and me, baby. Wow. I made it into the paper. I know. And looking gorgeous. > What's going on? I got a call this morning. I've been asked to go into the police station. What for? There was a fire at Joe's place. It burnt down? No. But someone broke in, and they think it was me. Get the hell out of here. I didn't do it, but I did text Annabelle, and I did throw the brick, and if they charge me, I could lose my job. But you're innocent, aren't you? Of course. But my parents were out last night, so there's no one to say that I was home. Ah, but you weren't at home. I was! No, no, no. You were right here with me, yep, working on our housing project. We were heads down with our lists and our budgets all night. That's a lie. Mm. It's only the snowiest, little white lie. And you wouldn't want this to affect our great work, would you, our page-seven girl? I guess not. Come on. Let's go and tell the boys in blue about our night of delight. What did you really get up to last night? Ah, just got messy drunk all by my lonesome. But, hey, now, no one needs to know. You're my alibi. Hm. 3 Have we had any more ideas about a housekeeper? I'd prefer not to have any strangers around at this point. Well, I suppose I am earning my keep, keeping it 'real'. DOORBELL RINGS Are you sure you're OK, honey? You're very quiet. I'm fine. (SIGHS) This is a nice surprise... or perhaps not. I had to bring this one over. She has something to say to Kennedy, apparently. What's going on? It's a long story... and not a good one. It started off OK` Yes? He let me into his place, but as soon as we got inside he was all, like, business. What did he do? He called his neighbour. Some old bat who lives next door. And then she called the cops. And then I couldn't say who I really was because I said I'd run away. (SIGHS) I'm just glad you're OK. And not really. Dad's gone apeshit. What did you tell him? I just said I was trying to get money. Oh shit. Well, I couldn't be like, 'Hey, Dad, I'm a failure as paedo-bait.' But now he thinks I'm 'deeply troubled'. 'Settle in for years of therapy.' Oh no. Not even Griever the creep wanted to try it on with me. I guess it's not how he works. I should have thought of it. About what? He spent ages sending me messages and presents. Drawing me in. I was gullible and you're not. So, maybe he could tell. > So what do we do now? We try again... with the right bait. Something he wants. VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRS Don't do that often, huh? It's quite a good bicep workout. Don't think my mum ever saw it like that. I wonder if they've spoken to Ariana yet. Let it go. As my therapist would say, 'Don't engage.' Particularly with the mad. You think she's losing it? And again, don't engage. Daddy called, by the way. He thought you were the real deal. He loved your comments about casinos. Yeah? Yeah. He hates gambling, except the stock market. But that's completely different. Right. I'll get on to that email. You're in, and you can do no wrong. What? Because of the casino? Because you've got a penis, dufus. He's so disappointed he only got a girl. Was he always like that? Mm. Me and Mum could never do anything right. And then when she had these pains, and he told her that nature is its own best cure. It was breast cancer, gone to her liver. She only had three weeks. That's harsh. Still, at least my father didn't put me in the compost heap. Shit. It was dumb of me to say that. I'm sorry. Jesus, listen to me. Years of therapy and I'm still just a pale substitute for a son and heir. You're much more than that. MEN WHISTLE, CHEER ROCK MUSIC PLAYS They come here at this time of day? Don't they realize it is sunny outside? You don't get about much, do you? I guess not. Hey, what can I get you? A moment of your time would be good. I'm busy. I'm prepared to pay if that's what it takes. Not necessary. It'll be a short conversation. Wait here. I'm very sorry about your mum. Thanks. I would like to help with funeral arrangements and costs. It's already sorted. When is it? > Excuse me? The funeral. > I'd like to be there. But you couldn't stand her. And she hated you. So would that really be appropriate? (POURS DRINK) I just wanted to support you. There's not going to be an actual funeral. And since most of the people Lorna knew either didn't give a shit or are dead... I know you need some time. But when you're ready, I would like you to come back to work. I'm already back at work. I heard that. It might not look like much to you, but the lease is all mine. You are worth more than this. You think so? I read your letter. About Karl. You want to blackmail me? No, I destroyed it. I get what you're going through, but you can move on from this. Is this where I get another touching story about your hard life as an apprentice hairdresser? I know what it's like to feel bad. No, you and me, Brady, we are not the same at all! I'm sorry you feel that way. Oh, I do. But, hey, you are more than welcome to stay for a drink if you want. MEN CHEER, WHOOP Thanks, but that's-that's not necessary. I have a boyfriend! Leave the poor girl alone. Go to your pole. It's good to see you're all having a good time (!) Was I supposed to pay her? No. MEN: Vannah! Vannah! Vannah! Oh, come on, guys. OK, just one. And tell your mates. ALL: Vannah! Vannah! Vannah! ALL CHEER, CLAP Can we go? I've seen all I need to. 5 You see, that wasn't so bad, was it? I gotta tell you, I love the NZ police force. Yeah, well, they're not always that great to people I know. Ah! I'm not having any negatives! Eyes on the prize, baby. Let's go check out the progress. Oh, the bloody nerve. I need to see Ariana. Yeah, I thought squealing on the cops was more your style. There was an incident. Ariana had nothing to do with it. And I should know because I was with her. All night. You what? Oh, working. Get your mind out of the gutter, boy. Have a moment here? Look, Annabelle was freaking out. I couldn't stop her calling the cops. 'Freaking out'. Really? Look, are you OK? What do you mean? Well, Annabelle said you called up, saying some stuff. I didn't! Look, I get that this has been hard on you, emotionally, and if there's anything I can do, anyone I can call... Oh. You think I'm nuts. No, I'm just worried, that's all. I didn't call Annabelle, she called me. So if anyone is the crazy woman, it's her. She's happy to start fights. Why not fires? That's insane! Is it? Yes, we were both out at dinner. Oh, she could have paid someone! She's got enough money. Oh, that is crazy. Is it really? Because someone started a fire and it sure as hell wasn't me. Look, I just came to check if you were all right, OK? Oh, and you care so much that you're screwing some mad, rich bitch for all you can get (!) Stop it! Truth hurts, does it? I wanted to be reasonable about this. But please don't contact me again. My pleasure. And don't contact me, either. Yeah, I won't. You were so right about him. Look, here is your new mantra, OK? Joe is a lost cause. Moving on. Yeah? You wanna` You wanna say it with me? I should go home. No, no, no. I can't let you go, not in this state. OK? Now, I have been summonsed by, uh, Mother Dearest. I bet she saw the paper. But I will be right back, OK? And, uh, I don't know, we can have dinner, yeah? Hang out? I guess. Here, have some of this. I don't... I know you're not a fan, but think of it as medicinal. Yeah? OK. < Good girl. LIQUID POURS Hey, busy lady. Want to take care of this? Sure. Who was that rich bitch who come in? Brady Truebridge. Oh. Karl was pretty dark on her, eh? Said she put the IRD on to him. They had their differences. You're not planning on bailing on us, are you? No plans at the moment. You sure about that? Yeah. Good. That's good. Some of my boys are coming in tonight to help celebrate our joint venture. Be nice to 'em, eh? I always am. If you hear anything else, you know where to find me. (SIGHS) Problem? Alan Griever. One of your greenie mates is kicking up a stink about the casino. Ah, Monique Paresh. Yeah. She's getting her constituents to write and complain to Alan's electoral office. Everything is logged and he has to acknowledge. Well, it's all part of a democratic process, isn't it? You would say that. I'm sure he doesn't personally reply. We're just going to go to my room, if that's OK? Just don't go any further. What are you doing? Contacting Alan Griever. You can't. He's got an electoral address. Anyone can write to him. We've already crashed and burned. And he told you to stay away from him. (SIGHS) But this is public, and you heard, he can't ignore it. (SIGHS) READS: 'Dear sir, my name is Kennedy Truebridge. I'm not sure if you remember me, 'but we met through my father, John Truebridge. 'I'm interested in politics, and I would appreciate the chance to speak to you.' Do you think he'll go for it? He cares about his reputation. And if I give up, I'll just feel like he got me. (SIGHS) I would never forgive myself if something happened to you. I still have to try. Guess what? What? I'm trending on Twitter. Yeah? What about? My fire-starter experience. You told people? I didn't mention any names, but I've been invited to join a stalker support group! Just leave it alone, OK? Anyway, Ariana had an alibi so it can't have been her. And you know this because? 'Cause I talked to her. (SIGHS) What happened to 'don't engage with the mad'? Look, I was concerned about her, that's all. So where was little Ariana last night? Huh? Bible group? She was with John. The angel's on with the devil? Oh, that is too good. No wonder she's gone mental. They were working, OK. And you honestly believed that? God, you're hilarious. Nah, she wouldn't. Does it actually matter? I've got to get changed. Is this making you uncomfortable? The thought of Ariana getting down and dirty with John Jnr? Stop it. Whoa, you are still in love with her. Leave it alone, OK? Make me. Or what? Harder. How was Savannah? She seemed OK. She's a really good dancer. She was on the pole? Yeah. She seems super popular. Yeah, she's pretty good at it, eh? You've seen your sister doing that? Um, oh... PHONE RINGS Sorry. I just got to... Hi. Gillian. How're you doing? Yeah, good. Is everything OK? Oh yes, love. No change. But guess what? I'm coming up. To Auckland? My friend Lorraine's looking after Garth. I was wondering if I could stay with you? Stay? It's just a flying visit. I'll try not to cramp your style. Sure. But, uh, actually, do you mind if I just call you back? I'm right in the middle of something. Sure. Who's Gillian? Is she another one of your girlfriends? So Gillian is your mate's mum? Yeah. Your mate who had an accident, who's in hospital. < Yeah, like I said. I still don't see what the problem is. There's heaps of room here. I can't! I kind of told Gillian I had a cool place of my own. Why? Because she's like a mum to me, eh? I wanted her to think I'm doing OK. I don't want Brady to know. She already thinks I'm a marnus. I get that. Totally. (GASPS) I know a place we could use! Hi. Hey. John's out. He's just seeing his mother. He wanted me to talk to you about doing an interview with a woman's magazine. I don't know. I'm not feeling all that great at the moment. What's happening? I've kind of been losing it a bit around Joe. I thought it was over between you. It is. It's just... It's hard to let go. But John's been so great, so supportive. And he's right, I do need to get over it. How well do you know John? I know he's no angel. It's an understatement. He's devious, manipulative. I know, but he's got a good heart. He doesn't. Well, I believe people can change. A relationship with John would not be a good idea. Oh no, no, no. We're not in a relationship. Has he tried it on? No. I mean, he jokes about it. I just think you need to be careful, that's all. Don't tell him I said so. So the damage to your place, it wasn't too bad? No. I got your proposal and I'm intrigued. Yeah, I thought it might fit with your current plans. Might do. You know that your father and I were rivals? I did hear something about a vineyard. (CHUCKLES) That was just the start of it. John was cleverer than I took him for. You see, he wasn't banking his future on one spoilt, dissipated brat. John Jnr? I have a similar specimen of my own. But there's a proviso I'd like you consider. Yeah, sure. I'd like you to get cracking with the daughter. Sire a pup on her. Sorry? A what? A pup? Well, she's not getting any younger, and I don't want her breeding with some chinless wonder. We need new blood in this family. You're serious. You see, the racists have got it all wrong, Joe. What made this country great was cross-breeding. Mm. Yeah. Right, right. Look, think of it as a merger, of sorts. I get grandchildren, you as my son-in-law, and our business interests combine. I just need to have a think about that. Well, don't dilly-dally, especially if you're as keen on this venture as you suggest. Gosh, they'll have better heat pumps than I do. Yeah, well, there's no point in doing these things by halves, right. Did you see the piece in the paper? I loved the headline. See? Not so stupid after all? I'm going to be putting the budget for stage two before the directors next week. Darling, they are not going to go with it. Why not? Because I told them not to. You didn't? One I was prepared to put up with, but enough is enough. But, Mum, I said in print that I'm going to be rolling this programme out across the entire portfolio. No one believes what they read any more. Uh, what about our tenants? No one cares about them. I do! And I am GM of TBH Housing, in case you hadn't noticed. In case you hadn't noticed, I own the company. And everybody knows it's a job in name only. You can't do this! I just did it. Mum, I made promises! To whom? > Oh, is this about your Pacific princess? She looked fetching in the photo. She's not 'my Pacific princess'. Oh, well, chivalrous all of a sudden (!) Well, yeah, she's young and gorgeous, not old and withered. So who wouldn't want to nail that? How tragically like your father you are. What? Falling over yourself for some bit of brown pussy. YELLS ANGRILY: You shut the fuck up! Oh dear. Have I hit a nerve? Go cheer yourself up with a hooker. It'll be better value in the end. RAUNCHY MUSIC PLAYS It's going off. I hope your boys are behaving. They're a little frisky, but it's all sweet. What about you? Are you sweet? You wanna go private? We could. Or we could just cut to the chase and you could fuck me now. Yeah, we could do that. (GASPS) < Hi. She shafted me. My dear, bloody mother has pulled the plug on our project! She's icing it. One house, that's it! She's laughing about it! She did this deliberately. She set me up to knock me down. Screw her! GLASS SMASHES Hey, hey, hey, it's OK. It's OK. SHOUTS: No, it's not OK. It's tragic and pathetic. (EXHALES) Hey,... don't let her get to you. Yeah? What am I supposed to do? Have this. Since when was drinking your answer? Well, you said it might help. And you were right. Very wise. What are you doing? Look, I know people say you're bad. I don't believe it. And your mother, she is so wrong about you. This is not a good idea. You said I need to move on, and we` we both need to feel better.
