Wolf of Wall Street those mother 'uckers. You'd be the biggest 1 Previously on Filthy Rich ` I saw her. An angel. I've been saved. (ZIP!) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) We want to keep him. Whoa, no, no, no. I won't let you take him like that. You'll be hearing from our lawyer. (MECHANICAL WHIRRING) Whoa, whoa. That's my car. I'm afraid you're under arrest for assault. So, what did the cops wanna know? My connection with Snake. Anyway, Snake is taking care of the leak. Thanks. He will pay for this. You can't take on Snake. HUSHED: No. There's someone else I need to kill. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (PILLS RATTLE) (EXHALES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (CELL PHONE DINGS) (CELL PHONE BLIPS) (FOREBODING MUSIC) Where are you going? Out. The gym. Hold on a minute. I need to talk to you about Fisher. I'm sick of talking. Do not walk away from me. I am sick of him getting away with everything, all right? I know. What I have in mind involves you. Like I'm not involved already? Yeah, I just wanna make sure you're OK with this. Oh, just do whatever you want. Savannah! (DOOR CLOSES) Go ahead. Do it. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (KNOCKS AT DOOR) What's this? (TENSE MUSIC) (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) Back inside now, please, sweetheart. Inside. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Man, listening to your minister's such a buzz. The guy's better than crack cocaine. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Mmm. Is it wrong that Bible study makes me really horny? Not necessarily. (CHUCKLES) Hi. Oh. What are you doing here? I just got back. And I couldn't wait to see my darling son. Mmm. And how was Africa? Actually, it was entirely life-changing. I know the feeling. Really? Yeah. I want you to know that I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my saviour. (CHUCKLES) Thank God. I thought for a moment that it was something serious. I am serious. Oh, like when you turned vegan for three days? Nah, nothing like that. Or like when you cut the sleeves off your T-shirt because you were into death metal. John is trying to tell you something really important. I give it five minutes. I had an epiphany, Mum. And I assume it was your doing. You could at least listen. OK. Hey, hey, hey. Now, now. Blessed are the peacemakers, right? I'm selling my Truebridge Hunt shares. Jesus. All of them? I had my own epiphany. Oh. (SIGHS) That'll set the cat amongst the pigeons. I do hope so. To be honest, I'm a bit concerned about the prosecutor. He's like a dog with a bone. OK. But we've got a couple of days. They haven't allocated a judge yet. Mm-hm. Hey, thank you. No problem. Cheers. Be in touch. I'm so sorry. Daniel was being fussy, and the nanny was late. Nah, it's fine. So, did the lawyer man make it all go away? Well, we pleaded not guilty, but it still has to go to trial. I can't believe it. Hey, it's OK. It's all good. HUSHED: Why is that man looking at you? WHISPERS: He's a reporter. HUSHED: I thought you were getting name suppression. WHISPERS: Yeah, I did. I did. Oh, this is all just so stressful. That's OK. We focus on what's important here ` that's custody of Daniel. OK? Barry wants to meet us... without the lawyers. Should we do that? Um... Yeah, it's worth a shot. He might've changed his mind. Hello? (DOOR OPENS) Anyone? (OMINOUS MUSIC) (MUSIC BUILDS) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (CELL PHONE CHIMES) (CELL PHONE BLIPS) (SIGHS) Oh shit. (SIGHS) Is Lloyd about? No. He's probably having an aneurysm. I gather a certain 25-year-old company director has been charged with assault. You know about that? Mm. I like to keep up with business news. Not a great look for the company. Mm. Well, I would hate to make Lloyd's life any more difficult, but I've decided to sell my shares. OK. And I know it could upset the balance of power, but I've made up my mind. Perhaps we could discuss an option which doesn't involve Lloyd. You would go behind his back? A bit of friendly competition never hurt anyone. Caroline got the photos? The full saucy package. Great. We've loaded the gun; now let's see if it fires. Knock-knock. (DOOR RATTLES) Hello. What are you doing here? I just need a word. Just a quick one. I'm busy. Trust me, Brady, you're gonna wanna hear about this. Want me to escort him out? Ooh, scary lady. Have we met before? Dominatrix, yeah? In your dreams, sunshine. Ooh! Thanks, Patricia. I'll be in touch. Yeah. (WHISPERS) Me too. (CHUCKLES, WHISTLES) What was so important? Ah. Just that, uh, my mumma... is going to sell her shares in Truebridge Hunt. Pa-kow! She has? Mm-hm. Why? Oh, just the usual toxic cocktail of revenge and attention-seeking. But the point is ` you can buy them back. Wolf of Wall Street those mother 'uckers. You'd be the biggest shareholder on the block. Even if that were true,... Which it is. ...your mother is never gonna sell her shares to me. I'll buy 'em for ya. (CHUCKLES) Vivian knows you don't have any money. Well, you can spot me. I'll front for ya. Oh. Sweet as that is, I don't think you're a credible option. That's not very nice. What were you expecting? I don't know, Brady, maybe a little less burn and a little more, 'Thank you, very muchly.' Thank you for the top tip (!) But I'll take it from here. (INTRIGUING MUSIC) (DOOR CREAKS, CLOSES) I was about to start without you. (CHUCKLES) I have zero problem with that. Those are... very nice. I thought to myself, 'What do I get the guy with everything?' (LAUGHS) I have good news. Great news, actually. You have the rest of the day off? Better. Vivian Truebridge is selling her shares. Why would she do that? I don't know. A woman scorned. Anyway, all that matters is that she sells to me. You must be talking serious money. I can find it. I just need to move quickly. But not too quick. If this pans out, it'll pull everything forward. Good. Come here. (CHUCKLES) (SQUEALS) Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. Copyright Able 2017. Hi. How's the boy? He's out, actually. With the nanny. What, you have a nanny? (CHUCKLES) It's not unreasonable. And she's very good with him. We got the letter from your QC. Yeah, great. And Janine wanted me to come talk to you, see if we could come to some kind of compromise. Yeah, like what? Well, if we could have him for a few days, maybe we could come to some arrangement. And it would really help Janine, you know. Her state of mind. We're not about to fall for that. This isn't a trick. Well, the answer's no. We'll see you in court when we have to. Do you know anything about some company director who got arrested for assault? How do you know about that? Well, how many 25-year-old company directors are there? That has nothing to do with our dispute. Did you get into a fight? He was defending his family, that's all. And you got violent? He was within his rights, and you have no right to question him. Annabelle, don't. Well, he doesn't. Fine. But I'll be passing this on to my lawyer. Did you really have to say all that? (DOOR CLOSES) I was defending you. And he can't use this. Yeah, well, he's gonna try. (CELL PHONE RINGS) (SIGHS) Hello. Hi. How was court? Yeah, it was fine. What's up? It's just... (SIGHS) Lloyd needs to see you right away. And Annabelle. Right. Daddy. Oh good. You're here. Is this about the news report? Well, that's not bloody ideal, but we can talk about that later. Hello, darlings! Ah. (FUNKY UPBEAT MUSIC) Daddy, what's going on? We're getting married! What? What? Malia has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife. We didn't want any fuss, but she insisted that you both be here. How sweet! Well, you are our nearest and dearest. Mum, are you sure about this? Of course she is. I've never been more sure about anything. Now, come on. Let's snap the back of this puppy. Welcome and a` Yes, yes, that's enough of the argy-bargy. Let's get straight into it. I, Lloyd, take you, Malia, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forth in sickness and in health. I'm sorry I have to go. Come on. When's the last time you played hooky? (CHUCKLES) Isn't that what we just did? You've gotta admit, I'm a hell of a lot more fun than work, right? Nah, like I said, we've really gotta get moving on Vivian's shares. You don't go to the races just for one lap. (SIGHS) OK, but... you better be quick. Fine by me. (SINISTER MUSIC) (KNOCKING AT DOOR) Have you ordered room service? It's probably the cleaners. Ignore it. (LAUGHS) Whatever. I really have to go. (SIGHS) Caroline. (TENSE MUSIC) (SCOFFS) You arsehole. God. How could you? (TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES) STAMMERS: I... Yeah, go. (SIGHS) 1 (SOLEMN MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (TYRES SCREECH) Are you OK? (STAMMERS) I have to go. Well, why don't we go back to the`? Christ, this is a disaster. (SIGHS) Fuck. (CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS, CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) I know this may seem a little sudden. (CHUCKLES) It's certainly a surprise. It's just, Lloyd and I have grown very close since his health issues. Yes, yes. So, the assault charge ` what's happening? Well, it's going to trial. Who's the judge? Um,... oh, Cynthia something. Can you do something, please, Daddy? I can't bribe a bloody judge, Annabelle, can I? (WHISPERS) (CLASSICAL MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING) You're gonna need to take leave of the board and stop all this financial regulations nonsense while you're at it. Lloyd, you can't ask me to do that. I'm not asking. This cannot go to trial. It's bad for the company and bad for you. Yeah, yeah, maybe. But how? Money, boy. I mean, that's how all this started, isn't it? Your brother's debt. Yes, yeah, yeah. But I can` You need to sort this out pronto. Good to know you've finally come to your senses. Don't touch me, mate. Credit or account? Right. I forgot ` old school. This will go a long way to easing his pain and suffering. And reconsidering his complaint. Just make sure your mate gets his fair share. Nice doing business with you, Joe-Joe. Ma'am. (SIGHS) You think it will work? (DOOR CLOSES) Hope so. So, you want me to be your secret weapon with Vivian? Or... we could be partners. Well, that would certainly shake things up at Truebridge Hunt. (CHUCKLES) Imagine the look on Lloyd's face. Pure dirty gold. (CHUCKLES) All right, I'm on it. Loving your work, Ford. You too,... sexy. I'll call you. Ciao. Ciao. (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) How was the gym? (UNEASY MUSIC) What the hell is that? I went to take care of Fisher. What did you do? Nothing. His wife turned up and ruined it. (SIGHS) Thank Christ she took the bait. What are you talking about? That's what I was trying to tell you before. You tipped off his wife? I wanted to put a bomb under Fisher. What the hell were you trying to do? I wanted to kill him. How? Drug him. Maybe push him off a balcony. Savannah, you know that's crazy. I know how you feel, but either of us going away for murder is not gonna help. Your grand plan is what, send him to couples counselling? Think about it. We know Fisher's wife has all the money. If they break up, she'll leave with everything. I want the same as you ` Fisher gone, destroyed. So strike one. We hit him where it hurts ` in the wallet. Can you work with that? Maybe. (CHOPS STEADILY) (ICE RATTLES) So, where is the girl? Ariana is working late. She has parent-teacher interviews. Chardie? Good to see you haven't given this up. Mother, the Lord turned water into wine. How long do you intend to carry this on? I have no idea what you're talking about. The religious malarkey. I know you're doing it just to wind me up. I'm really not. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Ford, how lovely to hear from you. Vivian, a little bird told me you might be looking to sell your shares. Mr Hathaway, that is very forward of you. So, are you interested in what's on offer? Exceptionally. I'd like to meet you in person. Well, what are you doing now? Why don't you come for dinner? If there's enough. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Hey, babe. Hello, gorgeous. How's the damage? I'm heaps better. You don't have to keep doing this, you know. Look, save the lecture, babe. Snake, he said he was real sorry, and I'm fine. I really am. You're needed out front. OK. And what are you doing here? To tell you to keep your hands off my friend. Yeah? Yeah. You need to show a little respect. Go for it. There's someone we both know who wouldn't like that. Fisher? I'm not scared of Fisher. Me and Fisher got a good thing going. Yeah, I know. But for how long? (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING) (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Cut the crap. What's going on? Fisher's having problems with his wife. His wife's got all the money, so she pulls the plug and... Mm. Nothing lasts forever, right? (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING) 1 If I remember, you and John were school chums. Long time ago. That's funny ` it feels like it was just yesterday to me. And you've done very well for yourself in business. Well, I don't like to sit on an opportunity. Oh. And what do you like to sit on, Ford? Never mind John. He's threatened by success. Actually, Rate My Ride is going gangbusters. We've had offers to sell. Which would be very foolish. It's the only good thing you've ever done. Oh! Stop it with the praise, Mother (!) So,... my shares. What are you offering? I'm very interested, but let's not ruin the night. If we agree in principle, your people, my people, they can haggle it out in the morning. I look forward to it. If you'll excuse me. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (SIGHS) I take it you're on a mission for Brady. (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) And I take it you'll be a good boy and keep your mouth shut. I thought she was my friend. Some of us have it, and some of us don't. (JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) 'Bout time. HUSHED: Come on. Make me proud, ladies. What's so urgent it couldn't wait? Just wanted to check that my interests are secure ` our ongoing connection. Things are good. So you don't have any financial issues? Who told you that? You have overdue payments with extra costs on a certain job. I should be asking for a fucking discount. Your boys shot the wrong woman. Prospect, who took the blame ` his family are asking for cash. You said it'd be worth it to stay out of jail. It's coming. So is fucking Christmas. Now, people respect me because I'm a man of my word. If people don't pay, there are penalties. Is that a threat,... Snake? It's whatever you want it to be, Fisher. I'll sort your money. I just need a couple of days ` that's all. Good. I wanted to make sure you were good for it. Don't keep me fucking waiting. You missed a lovely dinner ` mother panting over Ford. Oh, he's a nice guy. Well, she's only after his valuables. God, why does he have to be so venal? (CHUCKLES) What's so funny? You're different, and your mother blames me for it. My mother will never part us. (LAUGHS) Or take me seriously. Poor John. I prayed for it, you know? I said, 'Please, God, just make something work for me, you know? Or turn my mother into an aardvark.' (CHUCKLES) You can't ask for that. What? Toad? (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Vulture? Capybara? You know, those cute little... What the hell? What is it? (WHISTLES) Buddy Labs. Who? They're this massive international company ` Shonk, Clam Jam, Slap The Bear. These are apps? Yeah. They've enquired about Rate My Ride. I thought they were just phishing, but they've made an offer. You'd sell? Well, for this much ` you tell me. (MUMBLES) Oh wow. Oh my gosh. I know. He came through for me. What are you talking about? (GASPS) (INTRIGUING MUSIC) This is all very cloak and dagger. We have to be discreet. Cos lawyered spies are everywhere (!) Auckland is a fucking village. That's one reason I want out. (SIGHS) I should mention... that I have had other offers. Tyre kickers? A motivated buyer. So, where does that leave us? I've always felt guilty about the way John treated your father. He had his reasons. I would rather you got the shares. It'd be fair. But I don't wanna undersell myself. (LOW, TENSE MUSIC) (SIGHS) Perhaps a little higher. (TENSE MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) In principle, I can work with that. OK, well, I'm just gonna need a couple days to get the capital together. I'm prepared to wait, as a favour,... but not too long. (GLASSES CLINK) (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) (BOTTLES CLINK, FRIDGE DOOR CLOSES) What if I told you we could be rich? How rich? Like,... (SIGHS) kill-a-hooker rich. That's really creepy, dude. Point is, Dylan, we're selling Rate My Ride. What? But that's our baby. I know, but this is a business decision. I've put my heart and soul into RMR. Buddy Labs wants to buy us out. Buddy Labs? Mm-hm. Who did Slap The Bear? Yes, that's the one, my lame little friend. And they are offering us a shitload of money. Yeah, but you can't sell your babies. Well, we'll have more babies, Dylan, because I'm gonna skull-bang the shit out of that beautiful mind of yours for years to come. That's disgusting. That's a disgusting metaphor. Dylan, look, we can have anything we've ever dreamed of. Yeah? Like a foosball table in the office? Anything. Can we get hammocks for all the staff? Anything. OK, lollies all the time, with bowls of lollies on the desks? Anything! OK. Can I have my Magic ` The Gathering meetings here? OK, nah, look, look, I don't actually have to tell ya, because I own the business, OK? Well, why are you bothering, then? Because it's my only way of being. Like Jesus, who loved everybody, even cripples. I also need a coder. To code what? Our new direction. Because from now on, Dylan,... we're gonna use our powers for good, not evil. (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) How's it going? I tried to explain things to Caroline, but she kicked me out. This one. How'd she know about us, anyway? Someone sent her photos. Seriously? Yeah. When I say 'someone', it's pretty obvious who it was. Brady. (SCOFFS) Bitch is asking for it. It's my fault. I mean, she must've had me followed. No, no, no, I should've been more careful. Are you gonna be OK? Caroline's agreed to meet this afternoon, so that's a start. I thought she didn't wanna see you. We've got kids, commitments. I think I can talk her round. I thought you wanted to leave her. Oh, no, I do, eventually, but I just need her money. Why? Pay some bills. Buy Vivian's shares. Right. I know that this is a setback. But just think about what we can do when I finally have a real stake in this place. ON PHONE: Fisher's after Vivian's shares? But he can't afford that. He could, if he gets his wife back. He's playing the kid card. Oh shit. Hope she doesn't go for it. Bloody corporate wives. We'd better make sure she doesn't. What are you planning? Don't worry about it. No syringes involved, I hope. The sisterhood is a beautiful thing, Brady. (INTRIGUING MUSIC) (SNIFFLES) Um... (SOBS) Oh, don't. I've got nothing to say to you. MUFFLED: Caroline. (SOBS) Caroline, please. (SOBS) No, please, I just wanna talk ` that's it. Please, Caroline. (SOBS) I just... Please. Ca... I just... Enough. Get inside. (SOBS) Get inside. 1 (SNIFFLES) This is so beautiful. What are you doing here, Savannah? (SIGHS) I just wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry. (SIGHS) Did you know we have kids? No, I didn't. I just... I don't know what I was thinking. Just swept away by the handsome older man, were you? Yeah, I guess. What, and now you think you're in love with him? (SNIFFLES) It's not like that. He says you're obsessed with him, that you kept pestering him until he gave in. Well, I mean, I certainly relied on him after my accident. Right. I mean, he was just so supportive and amazing and... (SOBS) SOFTLY: Thank you. (SIGHS) He said that he loved me, that I made him feel young and special. WHISPERS: Right. And then he said that he wanted to leave and he wanted to be with me. It was all too hard financially. What? Something about money and trusts. God, I feel so bad about you and the kids. I really hope you can work things out. We're there. It's wonderful they dropped the charges. The victim got it wrong and didn't want to testify. Yeah. Such a relief. Yeah, sure is. Hey, thank you. Congratulations. I'll be in touch. Cheers. Well, sweet things, I'll let Lloyd know the good news, and we'll catch up soon. (LAUGHS) You must be pleased with yourself. What, you beat up a man, and it gets thrown out like a parking ticket. The police didn't have a case. One rule for the rich, isn't it? Joe is not a violent person. Annabelle, please. And there was no case. And you can't use this as a reason to oppose custody. Annabelle, please, please. Oh, you think he's so gentle, do you? You know he tried to kill Daniel? (UNEASY MUSIC) Wait on. What? Toni was paid to go away and take care of it. I don't know` You tried to buy her off with a new job on the condition that she had an abortion. No, I didn't. That's not true. You ` you're as good as a murderer, and I'll never let you have custody of my grandson, ever. (UNEASY MUSIC) (SIGHS) Cool, thank you. Let me have a look at it before it goes out` You better come with me now. We'll talk later. What did you say to her? What? Caroline. Why the hell did you go and see her? Look, she called me. What did you say? Well, Caroline, she called me, and she said that it was urgent. Did you tell her that I loved you, that I was thinking about leaving her? What?! No. Caroline has frozen our accounts because you told her I was only with her... (HUSHED) for the money. OK, that is absolutely not true. OK? She was raving. She was talking crazy shit about how you were never gonna be able to see your kids again, and I just thought I was trying to help. That's it. SOFTLY: That's it. (SIGHS, WHISPERS) Christ. Is it really that bad? It is. She wants a divorce. OK, well, that's good, right? I mean, then we can be together. No, I am totally screwed. I can't buy Vivian's shares any more, and Snake is... Oh fuck. Well, what's Snake got to do with it? It's none of your business. SOFTLY: OK, well, that's fine. Oh, God, don't! We can't be seen like this. We have to keep our distance. Just pretend we're broken up. OK. If that's what you want. That's how it has to be. I'm sorry. (SIGHS) Please don't speak to my wife again. OK. (TENSE MUSIC) (SIGHS) You're seriously gonna sell your company? Well, you're selling your shares. How is this any different? Well, you made it. You own this, John, and it made me proud. Aw. But sadly, Rate My Ride is no longer consistent with my current beliefs and values. Can you please witness this for me, baby? Mm. You put him up to this, didn't you? No, John makes his own decisions. You sanctimonious little do-gooder. Oh! 'Scuse me? You are ruining him. (SCOFFS) Oh, that's rich coming from you. Me? You're an abusive, selfish, manipulative drunk. How dare you! No wonder John has issues ` you're either all over him like a rash or treating him worse than a dog. OK! Uh, nah, nah. Whoa, hey, hey. Time. Calling time. I think I need to have a little private chat with my mother. Fine, I have to be at training anyway. OK. Hey, kick some arse! (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (SIGHS) I can't believe they just say stuff like that. It's crazy. He's probably just mad with grief. I mean, they've just lost their daughter. Yeah, but why would you make up such blatant lies? Buying off Toni? (SCOFFS) I would never make anyone have an abortion. Like, I was ready to marry her. It's all just hearsay. Shall we take you shopping? Should we do that? Yeah? Nah, I'm calling them. Who? I wanna talk to Janine. I'm getting to the bottom of this. Can we just leave it, please? No, no, I don't want people talking this kind of stuff about me. It's not true. Don't call them. Just don't call` Wait. Why? (UNSETTLING MUSIC) What if it wasn't you and it was someone else? What are you talking about? Someone who was afraid of losing you and that you'd marry Toni even if you didn't love her. It was you. You told her to get an abortion? It was a termination, and she was fine with it. I didn't force her to do anything. (SIGHS) You` Just talk to me, please, Joe. No. Don't touch me. EMOTIONALLY: No. Come on, baby. Let's go. Oh, it was so great to meet this little guy. He's so beautiful. You're so lucky. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, he's cute, eh. (CHUCKLES) You're gonna be such a great dad. Hey, what's wrong? Oh, nah, it's just... Hey, what's going on? You know, I still have this feeling, you know, this... empty space, this fear. Where's this coming from? I feel like every decision I've made so far has just taken me further and further away from` From where? (SIGHS) From, like, what I wanted and... what I believed in. (SNIFFLES) Um... (SIGHS) Everything's so messed up. It's just... All I know is Daniel is the most important thing here. Whatever you choose to do, just make sure it's what's best for him. Yeah. (CHUCKLES) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) How dare she speak to me like that, calling me a drunk! Mm. She should've said a high-functioning alcoholic. (SIGHS) Ha ha (!) She's always hated me, but at least now you know it. Well, you never liked her either. Yeah, with very good reason. Look, mother, I know we have a complicated relationship, but I am serious about Ariana, and I am serious about Jesus ` not in the same way, obviously. Look, please, can you just accept that? I still don't think you should sell your company. Do you have any idea how much they're offering? Whatever they're offering you, I know it'll be very, very... Oh my goodness. That's what I'm talking about. My clever,... clever boy. Well, I do try. I really do. You are... incredible. I promise on all that is holy that you will always be the number one woman in my life. Wives will come and go, but I will always be your mother. Exactly. And I have an idea of something we could do that will bring us even... (SIGHS) closer. Ooh. He's asleep. Are you leaving me? At the time, I thought it was the right thing to do for everyone. (SIGHS) But I love Daniel so much. You have to forgive me. I've gotta win custody of Daniel. That's all that really matters, and that's gonna go a lot easier if I'm in a stable relationship. So, yeah, I'm back. But only for Daniel. Ooh, come and join us! We're celebrating... something. Not quite yet. What are we celebrating, exactly? The comeback. I'll drink to that, whatever it is. Yeah, bring it. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Oh. My broker. Hey, Russell. What's happening? No way. What other buyer? (CORK POPS) Oh, scheissen! (SIGHS) OK, well, yeah, let me know if you hear anything else. Thanks. They're gone. Vivian sold the entire thing in one package. To who? (ROCK MUSIC) Where the hell have you been? At lunch with my wife. It was important. Swanning around while Vivian-bloody-Truebridge is selling her shares. Is it true? (MUSIC FADES) Oh, hello there. Lloyd, heard about your nuptials. You know, the joy just ran down my legs, into my feet, and walked me all the way over here to say... congratulations. Your mother's shares ` what's she done with them? You don't know? Know what? (SIGHS) Well,... she sold them. Boom. You fucking imbecile. This wasn't my fault. You think I give a rat's arse about your bloody excuses? Wow, this room is electric, all this testosterone. (CHUCKLES) By the way, Lloyd, that picture ` that's not tacky (!) Not at all (!) You all right, mate? You need to take a seat? I don't need a bloody seat. So, who's she sold them to? (SIGHS) She sold them to you? Mm-hm. Lock, stock and pork barrel. And at quite a good price too. How is that even possible? You have no money. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Also ` nepotism. Well, congratulations. Well played. Hmm. Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. Seriously. You're an idol. You're like my corporate Beyonce. I hope this means we can find common ground. Yeah. The thing is,... the deal kinda came with a few conditions. Mother doesn't really approve of some of my associations ` like my fiance. She made you break up with Ariana? Oh, hell no. You crazy? I'd never do that. No, no, no, no, no. The condition was you. Me? Yeah. She said I could have the shares as long as I didn't let you take control of the company. (CHUCKLES WRYLY) So you've never had any qualms going back on your word? I know, I know. But now I'm kind of bound by all that 'honour thy mother' stuff. Not to mention the legal documents she's having drawn up. You back-stabbing little prick. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no, Brady. As the Good Book says, 'You reap what you sow.' I offered to work with you, remember? You turned me down. Treated me like a loser. Mm. But as I keep saying,... loser fo' no more. Wa-chang!
