Previously on Filthy Rich ` Stop this bullshit. Yeah, and what you're doing is bullshit. This piece of piss bothering you, eh? (GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) So, you used my daughter to get to me? Why? You've been buying up shares in Truebridge Hunt, so I figured we should we talk. WHISPERS: I'm your family now. And I need you to come home. Kennedy. I don't see any reason why we can't still be friends. I'll see if I can stay the night at his. That could be kind of dangerous. BOTH GRUNT (CHUCKLES) It's a reminder from Nancy to RSVP to her 60th. (LAUGHS) You got a time machine? TBH Housing is for sale. I was serious about making a difference to that company. Getting a leg over. I care about those people and Ariana. I'm pregnant. We can get married if that makes it easier. SOFT BLUES MUSIC PLAYS, PEOPLE CHATTER Where were you? I thought I should get something to wear to this. Got you these. Oh wow! You are so gorgeous.

This is from Joe and me. Is he here? He's on his way. What's John Jr doing here? He came with Ariana. You know she's been stalking me? I wouldn't have thought you were that interesting, sweetheart.

BLUESY ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING I need to talk to you. I haven't said hi to Nancy. I don't give a toss. At least now he knows. I had to sort out something. Something more important than me? (SNIFFS) I went to see Toni. What the hell for? To discuss the... the situation. But she's still getting a termination. That's really none of your business. BLUESY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS OUTSIDE (GRUNTS) Don't you dare do that to me again. I thought you liked it. You're wrong. FOOTSTEPS RECEDE, DOOR OPENS > DOOR CLOSES > It's just you said you slammed it in the door and I believed you because there's no reason not to believe you, because why would you make something up like that? I dunno. So what actually happened? I went to the club to see Savannah. You slammed it in the door there? Nah. This dude Snake didn't like it. Broke my finger. In a door? Oh, there was no door, all right? So he just broke`? He's a big bastard. So that's why Savannah is back? Because you rescued her? Nah, doubt it. But you wanted to do that because you love her. Eh? Nah. I've told you. I love her as a sister. But she's not really your sister. So you and her, you could if you wanted to. Maybe not so loud. Sorry, but this is kind of important for me to know. Look, me and Vannah, we're close, we've been through a lot, but that's all. BLUESY ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING OK. OK. I just wanted to be sure. FUNKY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS, PEOPLE CHEER (LAUGHS) Oh my God, you so should take some pictures of the embarrassing dancing. Is leaving you two together a good idea, I wonder? We'll be on best.

Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me. Let's go. OK, OK. FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING MUSIC SLOWS Stepmother. John. Great party. It's really, uh, going off. Good to see you're enjoying yourself. Hey, uh, how's the family firm? Given your mother's close relationship with Sir Douglas, don't you already know? Well, Mummy doesn't really like to share, and we don't exactly see eye to eye, especially not at the moment. Oh, would that have anything to do with your new relationship? Ariana is helping me with my housing project. Oh, you wanna improve the world? Life's full of little surprises. Tell me about Joe. What about him? What's the connection to Sir Douglas? Ah, now you see. Saint Joe is not all that he appears to be. No, no, no. He is, uh, quite the strategist, actually. And I should believe you why? Well, that's up to you. Excuse me. FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING You and John Jr ` what are you thinking, my dear, darling Ariana? No, there's another side to him. Like Janus. He's a two-faced monster. LAUGHS: He's not.

FUNKY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS 1 Did we really have to leave? You could have stayed if you wanted. Oh my God, you're being such an arse. (SIGHS) I just` I didn't expect her to be there, not with him. It just shook me, that's all. (CHUCKLES) Not as much as it shook John, (GIGGLES) which normally I'd pay good money to see. Am I forgiven? Dammit. You look at me with those big brown eyes and all I wanna do is jump you. Hey, wait. Why do you do that? What? Get you hard? No, you say something real and then you just... you` you twist it. OK. Real question. Am I wasting my time? You, me? Do we have to talk about it now? I wanna know if you're in love with someone else. Who, Ariana? And Toni? What did you say to her? I need to do right by her. I can't just abandon her. She said she'd take care of it. Yeah, well, that's not how it works, not where I'm from. People aren't just disposable. Then what am I, huh? It's OK to trash silly old Annabelle because she's rich? It's like I don't have feelings or something. I'm sorry. Maybe you should go. Fine. (SIGHS) You know, what makes you think I'll give you another chance? It's up to you. < FOOTSTEPS RECEDE CRICKETS CHIRP Hey. Oh, hey. I couldn't sleep. A bit wound up, you know. Yeah. And it was pretty noisy. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I can't believe it. You're allowed. Your mum and everything. (SIGHS) I still can't believe she's gone, you know? I keep expecting to get a call, her wanting me to bring home some milk or pick her up from some club because she's too wasted to find the door. SOFTLY: Yeah. Hey, what did you mean, back when I was gonna see the cops? Eh? You said something about not being my brother, about being this other guy. What did you mean? Shit. (SIGHS) Tell me. (SCOFFS) It can't be that bad. What if...? What if I said (SIGHS) my real name isn't Garth? It's Zac. Garth's my best mate. Him and me were in an accident. He's down south, pretty munted. I pretended to be him to find out what was going on. I kind of got sucked into it. I've been pretending to be him ever since. Fuck! TENSE MUSIC So we both know each other's worst secret. I reckon. Vannah, I really love you, eh. As a brother. It's better this way. OK? OK. SOMBRE MUSIC Does anyone else know about your secret identity? Nah. Oh, only Cherry. GIGGLES: Oh, you were so right. Nancy does know how to party. BOTH SIGH Hey, you don't need to do this, you know, the thing with the minister. I don't know when my mum's gonna be away next. I'll record him and expose him, and he is never going to mess with another girl. Not ever. What? You are a warrior princess. (SCOFFS) Beautiful and fierce. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) You think? Absolutely. I couldn't even think about doing this if you weren't with me. I'm here for you. Always. (SIGHS) Still too soon? No. BLUES MUSIC MUSIC SWELLS MUSIC CONTINUES MUSIC SWELLS MUSIC CONTINUES MUSIC SLOWS, FADES CAR LOCK CHIRPS Good morning. How are you? I'm just on my way to work, so` Oh, um, Joe` Joe told me about your unfortunate predicament. That's really none of your business. I wondered if there was anything I could do for you. I'm fine. I'm sure you are. Strong, independent. Not that Joe sees it that way. He's so old-fashioned. He probably thinks you need taking care of, but we both know better, don't we? Like I said` So, what are you gonna do? Well, Joe proposed to me, so... I know. (CHUCKLES) Those Island boys, so polite, even when they're lying. Just leave me alone. You do know he was abandoned. He was left in a bin when he was a baby. Issues for Africa. He'd say anything for you to keep the kid. And you'd say anything for me not to. OK, but before you let Joe marry you out of a tragic sense of duty, you'll at least consider the alternatives. What alternatives? REFLECTIVE MUSIC So nice. Good morning! Don't be a bitch. And don't ever get old. 60 is hell. 62 is probably worse. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS DERISIVELY) Laugh away, but I can tell you Karlos earned his money last night. Oh, I did not need to know that. Young people today ` so conservative. Can I have some juice? Where's Maria? She left a while back. Oh, of course. LAUGHTER Morning. Hey. Want some breakfast? I'll get something in a minute. Hi. Hi. Well, I suppose I better start packing. Oh yes, your dirty weekend in paradise. For one night, at any rate. Oh, thank you, darling. What are you girls up to today? Uh, me and Grace and going to the gym, and then we'll do some shopping. And homework. That wasn't a question. Yep. We've got a very important assignment. DOORBELL RINGS I hope you're both gonna behave. Absolutely, yes. You'd better. Love you, Ma. DOOR SHUTS > Shall we get ready? OK. See you later. Morning. Here's trouble. Fisher. Sorry to bust in on family time, but there's just a few things we need to discuss before you head away. Sure. Do you need me? Not yet. You are taking it easy. Absolutely. Good to have you back. Thanks. CELL PHONE RINGS You OK? Yeah. It's just a girl from the club. Hi, Susie. What's up? You're kidding. OMINOUS MUSIC (SIGHS) OK, phone's charged. Mine too. (SIGHS) Don't forget to call me. I'll give you one hour. You say it's an emergency and you have to go. Got it. Wait. If there is any trouble or you get freaked out or anything, you just have to call or text me, OK? OK. And, um, there's one more thing. I love you. I love you too. SOFTLY: OK. Do we have any idea who's doing the buying? Only that large parcels of shares are suddenly being traded. Lloyd Maxwell. Not according to my sources. Sorry to interrupt. I just thought you should know Snake's in hospital. He was attacked outside the club last night. How bad is it? Real messed-up. They reckon he'll be in there for months. Do they know who did it? No. Maybe he pissed off the wrong person. I'm just not sure where that leaves the club. You should close it. Then the girls will be out of work. I don't want you going back there. I know, but maybe I could promote the bar manager. He might be up for it. You do what you think's best. Thanks, Brady. The share buy-up ` what do you want me to do? Bully, blackmail, bribe. Find out who's behind it and if anyone on the board's involved. If there's a rat, I want them dealt with. Now, business taken care of, what say we chopper down to the station? I've got a beast hanging in the cold room for five weeks. I'll roast you a slab. Should I ask Annabelle? CELL PHONE RINGS You wanna keep Annabelle in the stables, head in a bag of chaff. Excuse me, I should... (SIGHS) Hey, what's up? Look, I've been thinking about your proposal, and it was really nice of you, you're a very nice guy, but I don't think it's going to work. Wait, wait. Hang on, OK? Um, I'll come over. Look, I'm going to take care of it, and then I'm gonna move on with my life, and you` you should do the same thing. No, Toni, don't` don't do this. I'm sorry. I've made up my mind. Take care of yourself, OK? No, no, no. SOMBRE MUSIC Is there a problem? The trip to Queenstown is gonna have to wait, sorry. Hello, Kennedy. Hi. Are you sure nobody knows where you are? I'm sure. I told you ` Mum's overseas, so we can do what we like. I'm so glad, because I've organised a little surprise. Oh, what kind of surprise? A little trip away of our own, just the two of us. Where? That's the surprise. Let's go! TENSE MUSIC (OPENS DOOR) Well, come on. (SIGHS) OK. MUSIC CONTINUES Oh no. Where are you going? What are you doing? OMINOUS MUSIC 1 Hey. Wanna go do something? Can't. I've gotta go to the club. Eh? I thought you weren't doing that shit any more. It's OK. I just need to talk to the staff, organise a few things. What about Snake? You really don't know? What? Well, he's in hospital. Someone smashed him up pretty bad. Dead set? I thought it might've been you. No way. I can't say I'm sorry. Me neither. Do you wanna come with? Sure. Are you worried it might be dangerous? (CHUCKLES) Always my hero. No, because I wanna hang out with you, my favourite brother. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) All right. I'll be two minutes. Nearly ready. Sorry about the delay ` business stuff. But priority check-in, we'll be fine. Something's come up. Sounds serious. The press are on to Monique Paresh. Her plans to stand down were leaked, and the Government's calling for a by-election. I'm sure it's not the end of the world. TENSE MUSIC You think I leaked it? Seriously? You're the only one I told. And no one else knows about this? Not many, no. Christ, the left can't keep a secret to save themselves. Yeah, I know. (SIGHS) Anyway, it's` it's caused a shit storm, and I don't think I can leave town right now. Not even for a night? (SIGHS) I've been asked to an emergency strategy meeting. So business first. Believe me, I understand. But seeing as the girls still think we're away for the night, I'll book us into a fancy restaurant, hotel suite. (SIGHS) Deal. CELL PHONE RINGS Grace. Please let this not be another teenage drama. Hey, bub. What's up? Hey, um, I'm just here to see Toni. She's gone. Sorry? Just packed up all her stuff and left. Tickets and money all come through OK? I wouldn't be on my way to the airport if they hadn't. True. And the other thing? I'll take care of it when I get there. Smart girl. God, you're gonna love New York. Single, free, good job. Was there anything else? Just to say I never wanna hear from you again. Right back at you. Hmm. BIRDS CHIRP TENSE MUSIC Come on. TENSE GUITAR MUSIC MUSIC SWELLS MUSIC CONTINUES BEEP! Griever, Brady Truebridge again. If my daughter is with you, then bring her back now, you fucker. You hear me? We need to call the police. I know, but what if they don't move quick enough or they push Griever over the edge and he does something stupid? Well, what's the alternative? SOBS: I'm sorry. We just wanted to get him. It was a stupid idea! Yes, all right. Now we call the cops. I know. Wait! This is not up to you. Shut up, it's Kennedy! I think she pocket-dialled me. No, wait, I can hear them. They're talking. This view's amazing. Is this your place? Yes, that's right. Some bubbles? Yes, please. It's Swanson, right? Yes, my little retreat from the madness. Good girl. CONVERSATION CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY You're ringing the cops? Griever's PA. Janice, Brady Truebridge. Sorry to bother you. I have a package Alan wanted delivered to his bach. What's that you're doing? Uh, just turning my phone off. It's nearly out of battery. Good. We don't want to be disturbed. Absolutely not. (CHUCKLES) So, what are we gonna do now? A pot of cheese, a glass of wine and good company. OK. (CHUCKLES) Epicurus was a Greek philosopher. That was his answer to the meaning of life. Although I might be tempted to add the company of a beautiful young woman. Mm. Great. BIRDS CHIRP I'm so glad you came back to me. I... missed you and our conversations. As did I. But I feel like we never got to talk about other things. What other things do you mean? It was all books and music. I wasn't sure if you wanted something more. TENSE MUSIC Well, now that our relationship has reached a new level, perhaps` What? So impatient. (CHUCKLES) Cheers. Cheers. (CHUCKLES) Although, there was something. OK? That selfie you sent me, the Birth of Venus reinvented, I'd rather like to see that... in the flesh, so to speak. LAUGHS: It was just so ridiculous. So silly. I know. 'I'll pay cash.' I know. So dumb. Should see his stupid face. BOTH LAUGH Hey. Hey. Look what Vannah bought. (GRUNTS) It's so cool. You bought a new car? Yeah, it's for Vader. Oh. Oh my God. Isn't she beautiful? (LAUGHS) He means the car. Anyway, I might just leave you guys to it. Oh. She does know I'm your girlfriend now, right? Yeah, sure. So, why did she buy you a car? Because, I don't know, we were driving past this place, and I said I always wanted a ute like this. She knew I gave all my money to Gillian` She knows about Gillian? Yeah. And Garth? Me and Vannah, we don't have any secrets. Not any more. Oh, right. Do you wanna maybe drive to the beach and we can watch the sunset, and we could grab some fish and chips? For sure. (LAUGHS) Oh my goodness! That was so crazy! You bought every single thing I looked at. Mm, I know. it was pure self-interest. I just want a private fashion parade. No, I need to go home. I need to see my parents. Or what? They gonna hunt you down? No. Because I want to see my family and go to church in the morning. Believe it or not, I still have beliefs. I know. It just gets me hot thinking about it. CELL PHONE RINGS Hey. (SIGHS) Is everything OK? (GROANS) Been summonsed to see my mother tomorrow. That could be good. Except I don't think she wants to go to church. BOTH CHUCKLE (GASPS) OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYS That was great. Is there any more? Perhaps after our little exhibition. (CHUCKLES WRYLY) Sure. OK.

Go right ahead. Where's your bag? Let's go. (GROANS) Whatever you think, there's nothing untoward. Kennedy's a very troubled young woman. Shut the fuck up, Griever. Darling, don't see it as a bad thing. SOFT MUSIC PLAYS See it as a narrow escape. You don't love her, so she's done you both a favour. (SCOFFS) We didn't even have to get married. I still could've been there for the kid. And now there is no kid, so it's no longer a problem. Yeah, but it's a life. No one has the right to take it away. You honestly believe that? < Yes. Oh my God. I don't make fun of your beliefs. I don't really have any. Except I do believe throwing your life away on someone you're never gonna love is a sin, and I believe you and I could have an amazing future together. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) And if it made you feel better, we could always have a baby. I thought you didn't wanna be a breeder. But it would make Daddy so happy. And our baby will be gorgeous. I mean, cafe latte, which is the best colour. But I might need a new handbag to match. SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING # You could have told me. # TENSE MUSIC Sweetheart, I need to ask you a question. Did anything happen? No. He didn't touch you? No, he just... He was scary. He said he wanted to see me with no clothes on. He asked you? Because of a photo I sent him. You sent him a photo? I wanted him to like me. How long have you been seeing him? Since that night, you know, when the house was broken into. Me and Grace went out and she dumped me for this guy, so he gave me a ride home. That was ages ago. It wasn't creepy at first. (SIGHS) We talked about Shakespeare and books and art. Oh my darling, I'm so sorry. It's not your fault. No, I should have protected you better. (SNIFFS, VOICE BREAKS) You didn't know. It's what I wanted. I thought I was so smart. (SNIFFS) (SIGHS) Then I realised what a creep he was. So why did you go back there today? (SNIFFS) We wanted to trick him... so he wouldn't do it to anyone else. Oh, my darling. I love you so much. (SOBS) I love you too. I recorded him... talking to me, asking me to do things. Will you use it to get him? To show everyone what he really is like? WHISPERS: I will, I promise. (SNIFFS, SIGHS, SOBS) OMINOUS MUSIC MUSIC SWELLS TENSE MUSIC KNOCK AT DOOR Hello? Hi. Hey. Wow. You look really fit. Thanks. Um, I just wanted to ask you something. Sure. Do you want Vader? What? I know he really likes you. Yeah, like as a brother. Only we both know that's not true. I know that you know. And you being so nice to him and buying him stuff, especially a car, I mean, because I could never afford to do something like that, I just think he might find it all a bit confusing. I'll keep it in mind. The thing is, I really like him and I think he likes me too, and we just need a chance. So it would be better if you stayed away from him. That way nobody will get the wrong idea about you not really being his sister, OK? Sure. I hear you. Great. Our lawyers will no doubt be in touch to finalise paperwork. Thank you. Ah, good morning. Yeah, I had noticed. Hello, Mother. Goodbye, gentlemen. A pleasure doing business with you, Vivian. Don't stare, darling. It's rude. What the hell were they doing here? We had business to discuss. What kind of business? I did tell you I was selling TBH. You're selling it to Lloyd Maxwell? And his business partner. Joe? Are you fucking kidding me?! What? The brown bastard and the packaging pretender? Your words, not mine, Mother. Whatever I think, business is business. Well, what about my job as general manager? Well, that's up to the new owner, though I wouldn't get your hopes up. What, so you just did this to piss me off? Let's just say I am pursuing new opportunities. No, no, no, no, no. Let's not just say. I thought the only reason you were humping Sir Douglas was to win back my birthright. It's my birthright too. Your father built that company with my family money. I have plans. Which don't include me. Darling, it's not going to affect your trust fund. But don't you think it's time that we just accepted you're not cut out for business, hmm? GRIEVER: That selfie you sent me, the Birth of Venus reinvented, I'd rather like to see that... in the flesh, so to speak. (SIGHS) (SIGHS) Hi. Hey. You OK? (SIGHS) So, what did the police say? Nothing yet. You haven't called them? I want some time to think before I put Kennedy through that. I have to be sure it's the right thing for her. Of course it's the right thing. It's not that simple. He's a pervert, a paedophile and a Cabinet minister for Christ's sake. Don't you think I know that? As much as you wanna destabilise the government, I have other concerns. You think I'd use this for political leverage? I didn't mean it that way. Then how exactly did you mean it? I will take care of Griever. Then call the police now or I will! Kennedy is my daughter, and I have to put her interests first. Her interests or your company's? What are you talking about? You still need Griever's support for the casino project, correct? You think I'd use my own daughter` Tell me I'm wrong! I think you should leave now. Just tell me I'm wrong. If you don't report Griever, you're as much of a monster as he is. CELL PHONE RINGS OMINOUS MUSIC MUSIC CONTINUES (SIGHS) Alan. Brady. Before you say anything, nothing happened. I'm still very very angry with you, Alan. So what are we gonna do about this? Given our mutual business interests, the casino project, the possible consequences to your career... And the fact I'm your staunchest supporter in Cabinet. I hadn't forgotten. Good. I'm listening. TENSE MUSIC (SIGHS) Let's meet and discuss where to from here, how to contain this, but I want something from you in return. I can hardly argue, under the circumstances. No, you can't.
