1 You Kennedy? Kia ora, Brady. Long time. Did you tell her about the good old days? I did a lot of things I'm not proud of. Your father's name. And don't ask me where to find him. The truth is, Savannah, all you and me ever wanted was justice. You're making a huge mistake here, Savannah. READS: It wasn't my mother who killed Karl. It was me. You will be coming home, and you'll be compliant and grateful. (SIGHS) NANCY: Savannah? Nearly ready, darling? (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) (BREATHES HEAVILY) (EXHALES) Let's be off to physio now. I've found my keys. No, it's fine. I'm fine. Well, your carriage awaits. How is rehab going anyway? It's amazing (!) She insists on doing it alone. Yeah, because I don't need a minder to watch me do a bunch of exercises, all right? Don't let her give you any attitude, OK? She should be far more grateful than she is right now. You are doing really well. Isn't she? Mm-hm. Stronger every day. Yeah. Thanks, Mina. I'll leave you to it. It's just good to be out of the Gulag. If you want to leave Brady's house, we can make it happen. Oh, I'm more useful where I am. I copied those papers you wanted. Financial stuff, stuff about the house. Good work. Like you say, there has to be some advantage to being there. You are amazing. (LAUGHS) (PANTS, GROANS) Oh! (PANTS, LAUGHS) I thought we were getting dinner. (CHUCKLES) That was the starter. (LAUGHS) So, will you rate me? Eh? Rate me. There's this new app that rates you for... What, sex? One to 10. It's kinda fun. Especially if you're a 10. JOHN: Fullas! in less than two months we have become the biggest start-up in the city. You bloody beauty! Rate My Ride. Here's to the 10s. Oh yeah! It was supposed to be for cars. That is the difference between you and I, my clever little cripple. Coder. Entrepreneur. Whoo-ah! Great success. And they all thought that I couldn't do it. You must be sad you're missing out on the action, though. All those sexy ladies. Not for a minute, mate. I got my 10 right here. Eh, baby? Sure. (CHUCKLES) Ariana, you remember Dylan, my Quasimodo supreme. And this face like a bag of smashed arseholes is called Zave. He's my new PR guy. Well, multi-platform communicator. Duh. Save's organising the launch party for Rate My Ride because... (GRUNTS) we have cracked 100,000 downloads. Boo-yah! We're gonna spread that shit like wildfire. Yeah! (CELL PHONE CHIMES) And all you Truebridge Hunts can suck on that. LLOYD: So, the useless one got this off the ground. Mm, he bought one of the subsidiaries. The point is John has shown some initiative. Yeah, by using insider knowledge when he's meant to be an employee. - Oh, come on. It's hardly any skin off our nose. - (CELL PHONE CHIMES) And you let Brady buy that trucking company. It was a lemon. She can go down with that ship when it sinks. It's a shame we can't do something more proactive. I have some intel that might turn up something. Wait, why are we so obsessed with Brady? While she's out there, she's still a threat. We'll deal to it, don't you worry. Will you be needing anything else? Oh, what about our dinner? 7. LLOYD: She's a treasure, this one. I'm just grateful for the job. Thank you, Daddy. Whoa. I can't do dinner. I scored myself a new trainer. A New Zealand champion. Yeah, cool. I might have to pass as well. I've got some TBH stuff to do. He's a hard worker, this one. Hey, thanks for meeting with me. Yeah, sweet as. What's up? I ran into your mum today. Yeah? How is she? Sorry. Her and your dad are talking about taking a loan. What? What for? Well, since Reuben lost his job, he's been behind on mortgage repayments. WHISPERS: Shit. I didn't wanna be the gossip, but I thought you'd wanna know. Yeah, I do. Thank you. How's the training going, for the boxing? Oh, yeah, it's good. I've been doing some jogging and I'm just off to the gym. (LAUGHS) You went jogging? No, no. That ain't gonna cut it. What? No, come on! Oh, teach me, Master Joe (!) Uh-huh. Yes, I like that. Let's try that. One, two. Hands up, hands up. I like that! How am I doing? Uh,... you could do with a little bit of work. I could train you. Would that be weird? I dunno. Hey, we're friends, aren't we? And it's not like we have to advertise it. What, you mean keep it a secret? I dunno. Up to you, babe. Who's gonna notice? Sweetheart, you need to eat. You have to get your strength back. And to get your ice cream. I don't want any ice cream. Everyone has to have one. Now, I want your honest opinion. Why, did you make it? It's a boutique company, all organic, non-dairy, yada-yada. They're looking for some investors. Mmm. I thought you invested everything in the trucking company. That's just the beginning. And we do have our quarterly dividend due. (WOMAN LAUGHS) Oh, howdy, folks. Oh, hello. This is Shari. This is everyone. Come on. It's this way. Your brother's such a skux now. And then some. It's a free country. These are really good. You should do it. Thank you, honey. Love you. (POP MUSIC PLAYS) (GRUNTS) Hey, your Dad's back in the country. But I thought he was in Chicago with the ABs. No, he's definitely back. Oh. I'm so glad he's not a criminal. Doubt it! He manages famous sports guys. He just signed Denver James. Who? He's a league player ` up and coming. I can't believe you know this shit. (GRUNTS) Babe. How long are you gonna put this off? I'm not. OK. What if he doesn't like me? No one could not like you. And he's back now, and you've gotta meet him. I'll come with you. (SIGHS) I should probably do it alone. Really? Yeah. I have to woman up. (CHUCKLES) OK. But you have to call me as soon as possible and tell me if you saw any famous people. OK. (CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) VADER: I'll call you. SHARI: Great. Deluded. (DOOR CLOSES) Are you really going to call sexy Shari? Nah, probably not. Mmm. Cheers for the kai, Nancy. Bye, hot pants. You disapprove. It's none of my business. BRADY: Morning. Yeah. It is. What is going on with you two? Nothing. Let's get to physio. LLOYD ON PHONE: What? I've got something on Brady that may be very useful. You had to call me about this now? I thought it was a priority. Look, I'll see you in the office. I'm a bit, uh, tied up at the moment. My apologies. VIVIAN: Mmm, tied up. Was that a suggestion? (CHUCKLES) Could be fun. Don't be silly, woman. You know how I like it. (GRUNTS AGGRESSIVELY) Brady's looking to invest in ice cream? Yeah, funded by her dividend. What exactly is your plan here? Well, we get you back in the company when you're better, then back on the board. Joe's the family rep. For now. (SCOFFS) We can't just kick him out. He's in with Lloyd and Vivian. Yeah, for now. Meaning? Come on. Meaning you and me, Savannah. We will take them all eventually. First we deal to Brady. How? Those papers you brought me yesterday? There's a little bombshell that might do the trick. Copyright Able 2017 Rueben, please, bro, just let me explain. Can you just...? Just wait, bro! I told you, I have to go see WINZ. And then I got a interview ` entry level at some fast-food place. Look, I'm sorry you lost your job. I tried to save the factory, but I-I couldn't. But... I still wanna help you. I don't need your pity, man. Yeah. Yeah, I understand that. I'm the rich bastard. But I still wanna do what's right for you and Leilani and the kids. So please, just let me help. Just until things turn around. Look, we're still family. (LIFT DINGS) One for you, young lady. You're inviting me, a mere PA? Oh, we both know you are a lot more than that. And this is my party, so` Hey! The don. Congratulations on your venture. Oh, what can I say? Fortune favours the brave. You can come along, if you want. Get your boogie on. (HUMS) Can't wait (!) Good morning. Morning. This thing you've got on Brady ` what is it? Well, I was going through some personal papers` Yes, yes. ...and I found something rather interesting about the house. (OMINOUS MUSIC) Oh my God. (CHUCKLES EVILLY) 2 Miss, Joe's here. QUIETLY: Hey. Hey. Um, I-I had a chat to Reuben. And? And it took a bit of talking around ` you know how proud he is ` but I got to him to agree to take some money to pay off his mortgage. That can't be cheap. I've got a dividend coming in, so` You get that much? Hey, you said we had to do something good with the Truebridge money, and what better way to spend it than on the people we truly care about? Yeah. And I got invited to dinner with my olds. Great. (LAUGHS) Hey, um ` only if you want to ` but did you... want to come? Oh, probably not a great idea. Yeah, I should` But I do think you're doing a really good thing. QUIETLY: See you. Yeah. Brady is looking at another acquisition. But she needs cash. Oh. Don't you have all the good oil? The point is... if we want her out of the company, then there's something that we could do to apply some pressure. Stop playing riddle-me-ree. The matter of the quarterly dividend. (OMINOUS MUSIC) Your turn. I don't think I'm up to this. You still getting the headaches? Mm. Sometimes. This thing with you and Brady` How are we all? I might just go to sleep. What's going on with you two? Nothing. As her carer... (SCOFFS) I might not be an actual nurse, but I've spent enough time in funny farms to know when one needs TLC, not judgement or punishment. Yeah, all right. (DOORBELL RINGS) I mean it. You need to mend some fences here. Hello, Nancy. Oh, we don't want any. I'm here on official business, so... (DOOR CLOSES) All this wood ` it's so retro, don't you find? You just here to insult my home? Well, the thing is, it isn't really yours, is it? This house doesn't belong to you. It was left to me by my husband in his will. According to the company records, it's owned by a Truebridge trust. And we're thinking we might offload it. (OMINOUS MUSIC) This is low, even for you. How about only fair? You took my husband and now I'm gonna take your house. Hello, my lovely. Have you checked your email? Oh, nah. I've been in meetings. I've just been sending out an announcement about the quarterly dividend. We're saving paper, apparently. OK. That's the dividend? I thought you might like to know. RSVPs ` we've got three 10s confirmed, and a nine from Rotovegas. Only a nine? She's a drag queen. But she's dynamite in heels, apparently. I love it that your app is so all-embracing. I know. Anyone can play, Ford. Then what about you, John-Boy? Oh, no, no, no, I'm engaged. I wouldn't have thought that would stop you from a little extracurricular. I am perfectly happy, thank you. Defensive much? I think he's worried he'd only rate a four. He's getting old. Can't cut it. Uh, scuse me, fullas. If I was still a player, they'd have to invent an 11. (SCOFFS) Hi, guys. What's funny? Oh, we're just having a little meeting about the launch. Hard at it. Whoa. Are we trending on Twitter? Yeah-yah! Twitter! (COMPUTER BLEEPS) Oh, get the hell out. Has a 10 cancelled? No, it's something about the company dividend. What about it? There's no payout. You mean no one gets it? Correct. Holy shit! More bad news from Vivian the Vile? No, it's the dividend. There's no payout. Not even $3.50 ` a bit of pin money? Those pricks. Which ones in particular, darling? Oh, Fisher, Lloyd. They've stolen the money? No, they're withholding it. Surely that can't be allowed. No, it can't. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (MUSIC FADES) Hi, I'm here to see Ariki Campbell. Rick's in a meeting. Do you have an appointment? No, but I don't mind waiting. What's the name? Kennedy Truebridge. Great. Just take a seat. (SIGHS) Can I help you? Brady Truebridge. I don't think so. LLOYD: Mrs Truebridge. This is your excuse for a dividend? You should be ashamed of yourselves, defrauding your shareholders. Brady. How do you plan to lie your way out of this travesty? We're in a period of restructuring and consolidation. A payout's neither warranted nor prudent. You were in great financial shape a couple of months ago. We've revised expectations to foster growth. (SCOFFS) This is gross mismanagement, a manipulation of the company's performance to achieve a petty objective. Oh, please. You really think this is about you? I know you're trying to pressure me to sell my shares. Rubbish. And now at a rock-bottom price. Wow. Paranoid and narcissistic. You really are in a bad way. At least I'm not a psycho in a suit. Steady on. Did you let him talk you into this? I thought you had more balls than that. It was a matter of expediency. I will be demanding an explanation from the board. And you? You will not take my home, ever. John built that house for me because he loved me as much as he loved this company. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) Bullseye! What's so funny? She is totally riled. She's certainly does have fire in her belly. 3 Hey, I've got it, Mum. It's all right, darling, I got it. Nah, it's OK. I didn't get these, by the way ` Annabelle got them. Oh, OK. Yep. Hey there. Hi! Ariana. Mwah! Is it OK, me being here? Oh, darling, of course. I'll just take these inside. Let me help. Oh, no, no, no. This is fine. Hey. Hey. (CHUCKLES) Um, I heard about the dividend. Yeah, yeah. Mm. Oh well. It's not ideal, but I can cover it. How? I'm gonna take out a loan. You'd do that? Yeah, of course. And it's not like I have any real responsibility. But don't tell these guys, please. I won't. Uncle! Auntie! Hey, how you doing? Jakey, how are you? Hey, bro. (LAUGHS) Oh my goodness. Hey, I might just leave a number. Yeah, sure. Thanks. So, if we wait them out, then we'll get the result that you want. Is that good? But don't expect to much on your first outing, all right? Cool. I'll see you up there in about five minutes. If you get any trouble, don't hassle the bartenders. Ashley, I'll lock up eh? OK. Someone to see you. Hi there. I'm Kennedy Truebridge. I think you're my father. (DOOR CLOSES) Who says that? Jim Henare. He's my Grandpa. Brady Henare is my mother. Well, now Truebridge. I haven't had anything to do with Brady for the last 15 years. 16. We parted ways and that's the way I wanna keep it. But I came to see you. Look, kid, I'm sure you're very sweet. But I really don't need you as a daughter. READS: Sources suggest that either the company is manipulating results, or it's in trouble under its new management. A lot of tosh. You know where this has came from. Brady should not be allowed to get away with this! Yes, all right. Stop badgering me, woman. Fine. I'll take myself off, shall I? You do that. (GROANS) Is your back playing up again? It is, as a matter of fact. I'll get you a wheat pack and a green tea. Can you set up an appointment for me? Certainly. Who with? Brady Truebridge. She'll say no. You say I'll take no excuses. I don't see why I should do that. MALIA ON PHONE: Lloyd was rather insistent, so if you could see your way clear. Yeah, all right. Lovely. What are you doing? You drink, so why shouldn't I? Stop being a brat! I'm a brat and no one cares about me. My own father hates me. What? Ariki. I met him. He doesn't want to know me. Oh, sweetheart. EMOTIONALLY: What? That's why I didn't want you to ever meet him. He never wanted you at all. I didn't want you to know that. (SOBS) (CHILDREN LAUGH, CLAMOUR) Hey, bro, this means a lot. It's all good, bro. Hey, I'll put the cash in your account. It's so nice to have him home. Yeah. He misses you. I miss him. And you. Hey, who wants to play touch? KIDS: Me! Me! Coming through! (ALL LAUGH) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Check it out ` we got a new top scorer. Hm? Tiana. Who wouldn't want to tap that? Uh-uh! Not me. I thought you were the ultimate party guy. All right, better go, get this out there. Love your work. I know. I am the future. He is such a blowhard. Ah, he's the new future of journalism, apparently. He does have a point, though, about you. Once upon a time you would have gone for anything with legs. Yes, well, I have changed, Ford. Keep singing that song. Hey, what are you doing tonight? You wanna hang out, maybe fool around? As much as I live to entertain you, I have a better offer tonight. Yeah, who? Dinner with Dixie and Delia. You're dumping me for a couple of dykes? You'll keep. (GRUNTS) (CHUCKLES) (SUCKS TEETH) (LOUD MUSIC PLAYS) (SNORTS, SIGHS CONTENTEDLY) (SNIFFS) (SULTRY MUSIC PLAYS) Whisky, neat. You better make that two. Tiana. Whoo. It's nice to meet you. I'm Jack. You want a drink? (SIGHS) You wanna fuck? (GROANS) Come on! Come on! Come on, baby. Yeah! (BOTH GRUNT) (PANTS) (SIGHS) Oh! How was that? (EXHALES) It was all right. I dunno about a 10. Maybe... (WATER RUNS) ...seven, if I'm being generous. (SCOFFS) (LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) TIANA: Arsehole! (POP!) You came. I didn't think I had a choice. Now, would you like a glass of this '94 merlot? Just a water, thanks. You don't drink? It'll be a short meeting. You'll tell me off, I'll tell you where to go. (CHUCKLES) I wasn't very happy about your little press release. I never made one. Don't go tittle-tattling to journalists. You got a problem, come to me. I did. You gave me short shrift. I think you and I got off on the wrong foot. You mean when you shafted me? (CHUCKLES) Possibly. But all this rubbish about the house, I'm sure we can sort it. When I buy it back by selling my shares? That's just one option. Never. Mm. Come on. You should at least try this. (SIGHS) Mmm. Not bad. So, (POURS WINE) John really did build the house for you. He said it was mine if I'd marry him. I believed that. I never checked the title. Well, he was probably structuring it for tax. He always was a crafty dog. Yes. No wonder he went for you ` dynamic, forthright, and... so damn sexy, if I might be so bold. I am flattered. You know, you don't have to worry about the house ` not if you play your cards right,... if you follow my drift. Oh, I'm catching up. Good girl. Me and you, I think we could be very good together. Why don't you have a little think about my offer? Oh, I certainly will. 4 So, Lloyd Maxwell is after you for a bit of rumpy pumpy? Yeah. I was a little surprised. (LAUGHS) Well, I suppose it makes sense. It's the ultimate conquest ` possessing the wife of his enemy. Ugh! That is revolting. Yeah, well, what have I always said about businessmen? Baboons in suits. But, more importantly, are you gonna put your body on the line? Well, there could be an upside advantage. A root for a house. Pretty good deal, especially in today's market. But I'm not forcing you or anything. It's an deal like any other. I'll assess it on its merits. And one... and two... (UPBEAT MUSIC) Hi. How are you? Oh, a wee bit nervous, would you believe? Oh, don't worry. You'll be great. Aw! How was your family thing? Yeah, it was good. Nice to see everyone. So, when am I gonna meet your parents? Oh, sometime. They're off to Samoa for a bit. Um, you went out on the town with the boys? Oh, nah. Just kinda stayed in, watched the telly, ate instant noodles. John, you know they're bad for you. I know. I had instant regret ` noodle remorse. It was just... not satisfying. I missed you. That's sweet. (CHUCKLES) Sweet? Just sweet? Yes, I missed you too. Yeah, that's better. You know, it got me thinking. We should set a date for the wedding. We've gotta be proactive here. Wah! Oh! (CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) (TENSE MUSIC) Whoa! Very nice. Options on offer. You sure you're OK? I'm fine. I might just get an early one. Sleep well. Mm-hm. You don't want to join us? I'd rather take cyanide than cheer for John Jr. Perhaps I should stay home. I'm fine on my own. I'll hang out, make us dinner. No, you don't have to. It's cool. You ladies have a good one. Oh, I think it should be rather fun. Don't you? (POUNDING DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) Oh, there he is, love's young dream. (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK) Brady. Don't you look smashing? Thank you. I should go say hi to the host. Of course. See you soon. Why the kissy routine? It's all about the positives, Fisher. Truebridge Hunt, the old and the new, seen in public. If you say so. I do. I was just saying to John how remarkable this is. Yes, well done, lad. Thank you, Lloyd. Coming from you, that is very high praise. Lloyd is a maverick himself, one of the great leaders in business. You flatter me. Never. Just stating the facts. What the hell? I know. Interesting times. Gosh, this is flash! Come on ` society piccies. Well, I'm hardly society. CHANTS: Rate My Ride! Rate My Ride! Oh, there she is ` my 11 out of 10. Mmm-mm! Dylan, you're supposed to be smiling. This is so superficial. I know. And you made that happen. You're really bringing me down. Hey, you know what we should do? We should do, like, a Rate My Ride for disabled people. It could be like our version of the Paralympics. (CHUCKLES) Fuck you. John. What? That's really insensitive. What? How`? His penis works. She's here. She's here. Who? The 10 of 10s. Oh, she is way older than I expected. She must be, like, 30s or something. Well, there's no accounting for taste, is there? Come on, let's get this show on the road. (TAPS MICROPHONE) Huh! Huh! Rate My Ride! (APPLAUSE) Well, it's not exactly worthy. I mean, it's not exactly world-changing, but it is the kind of business New Zealand needs. I didn't think he had it in him. He's full of surprises. Aren't we all? Now, some of you, no doubt, are surprised that I, a famous wastrel, a boozer and a dilettante, have managed to achieve this. Amen to that, buster. But I have the love of a good woman ` my fiancee. Give her a round of applause. (APPLAUSE) Yeah! Yeah, baby! She is my saviour. She is my joy. It is because of her that I can finally do what my Daddy would have wanted. Now, John Truebridge Sr was a great entrepreneur. He was a champion of business and enterprise. So here's to you, Daddy. (APPLAUSE) Surprisingly touching. I know. Goodness. You really did love him, didn't you? Of course. But he's gone now, and I need to move on. Perhaps I can help. Thank you. I should fix myself up. There's nothing to fix. What do you think you're playing at? I never play at anything. You did this to John, and now you're doing it to Lloyd. Let's be very clear about something. John loved me. We had a partnership. I wasn't some lazy, entitled housewife. I had the brains. He shut me out. Oh, boohoo (!) This is my time to shine with Lloyd. Oh, all about the men again. Do you really think Lloyd actually cares about you? He's being attentive. The only reason Lloyd cares about either of us is to get one over John. John's dead. Lloyd wants to spray in the corners, mark his victory. He nailed one Mrs Truebridge, now he wants the more unobtainable version. Unobtainable? You? Watch and weep. He had you for nothing. Now he wants me. 5 It's not bad, eh? Beans on toast. You got a fried egg, a bit of green stuff. Why aren't you out playing the field? Someone's gotta look after you. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I know. Hey, that thing you said about John Jr. What about it? You remember what happened with him? That he came into the club, slept with his own sister? Yeah. So you do remember shit when you want to. What's the big deal here? Fisher! If you could remember what happened at that building, we could get him! Oh, so that's why you're here ` to spy for Brady. No. God, I know I'm under house arrest. Jesus, Vannah. It's not my fault you've gone all weird and paranoid. And it's not my fault you're a brainless man ho. No one else wants me. If I wanna get laid, why shouldn't I? I'm getting on with my life, cos I have one. And, hey, if I wanna walk out, I can. (DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) I just didn't know what to get him for his birthday. You're wonderful. Have I told you that today? Why are you smiling so much? It's my new life philosophy. Hey, I might go. What? No! No, you can't leave ` not ever. Some dinosaur print journalist wants a word ` if you want to. I'll be there. Babe, please don't go anywhere. You, look after her. Hello, hello, handsome. I was afraid you were avoiding me. Never. I appreciated your offer, and I was thinking... of a down payment. Gosh,... that's nice. Expensive. You could keep them until we next negotiate. You cheap tart! Steady on, Vivian. 'Steady on'? What do you think I am, a dog? Some stupid sheep? You are a sexist, abusive pig! (ALL GASP) That's right. Sexist, racist user! Hey, hey, hey, Mum. He used me! Oh my God. I had no idea you were in a relationship already. I'm not. You're leaving? Oh, I know I should stay, but actually... I can't handle it. I know it's making John a success, but... It's not what love is meant to be about, you know? Yeah, it shouldn't be a sport or some kind of game. Yeah, exactly. I guess we're out of touch. Are we? Seeing you at my olds', it was like... wow. It just reminded me of, like, how things used to be. Hey. Check who's got an exclusive with the nine. I should... I should go. Yeah. Anyway, you have training early in the morning. You still wanna do that? (CHUCKLES) My Annabelle's working pretty hard, so... Tomorrow, then. Yep, tomorrow. (TENSE MUSIC) Hello, Mother. Hello, Lloyd. You look remarkably perky. Oh, you know my patented cure ` a couple of codeine and a vodka. I got an email this morning, saying that I have brought the company into disrepute. So I've come to face the music. Oh, mother. EMOTIONALLY: I supported them, and this is how they treat me. Oh, hey, shh. It was my time to win. I know. I know. But I'm still here, doing what you wanted ` trying to succeed. You are. And you're a good boy. QUIETLY: I'll take care of things, OK? I'll make you proud. (SIGHS) You certainly missed the bunfight. Brady's got Lloyd panting like an old dog. You seem kinda cheerful about this. Well, I haven't got rid of Brady, but it has neatly removed one family obstacle. Thanks to her, Vivian is no longer on the board. Here's to strike one. Hey, this is a good thing. (SIGHS) Sorry, it's just I just don't know how much longer I can stand being in that house. Because of Brady? Everything. Well, if you wanna leave, you should just go. No, I can't. I told you, Brady's got something over me. How bad can it be? (SIGHS) OK. My stepfather, Karl. You remember all that? Yeah, your mother ` she killed him. It was me. What? I was gonna go the cops, but I felt bad about Brady, so... I wrote it all down in a letter. Oh my God. A full confession. And Brady has it. (SIGHS) (DOORBELL RINGS) BRADY: Nancy? (DOORBELL RINGS) Nancy, can you get that? (DOORBELL RINGS) Nancy?! Morning, Mrs Truebridge. Lloyd? What a surprise. Well, I just wanted to inspect it ` the Taj Mahal ` John's tribute to his true love. Well, here it is, as you can see. And I just wanted to correct any misunderstandings about Vivian. Oh? Vivian has resigned her directorship. She's going abroad. What a shame. It's for the best, really. I wanted to return something. Well, perhaps you could keep them as a reminder. I thought they were a down payment. Mmm. God, you smell amazing. Sweaty. I need a shower. No, it's animal. I love it. I have a meeting. I hope you're not putting me off. No, of course not. But I would like to see something in writing. You don't trust me. When I enter into a relationship, I like to be clear on the terms. I'll get papers drawn up in due course. Perhaps we can hammer out the finer points later. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSES) (CELL PHONE CHIMES) (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Toni! Sorry. Toni? Hey, how`? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Look, it is all in the past. Brady would still use it against me. No, we'll get through this. Come here. Let me. (GASPS) No, no, no! (SCREAM ECHOES) Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, hey. You and me. We're together all the way.
