Previously on Filthy Rich ` You cut the hydraulics in my truck. Cash was in the truck when the brakes didn't work! These girls in Vancouver even made their own community club page. We are talking about my fame-obsessed daughter who` Our daughter. Get your hands off me. Grace, what do you what? I love you more than my life. JOHN JR: Secret little tryst. I wouldn't mind if you were screwing him. This is so much worse. Don't marry John. Just tell me you don't love me and I'll leave it. That was so touching. (GRUNTS) Stop! You're bleeding! (ROCK MUSIC) Darling? Darling, it's me. Are you there? Mother. There you are. I was just passing, thought I'd let myself in. Uh... kinda in the middle of something here. I just want to check to see if you're all right. Give me 10. (SNIFFS) (ROCK MUSIC) (MELLOW MUSIC PLAYS) Grace? Grace, are you here? What are you doing here? When you called, I was worried. (SCOFFS) You don't give a shit. Where's your dad? At a conference. How much of that have you had? (SCOFFS, CHUCKLES) Whoa! Cos you're so Miss Perfect... with your blog and your money and your pathetic little life (!) You made me miss Denver's fight for this? Oh, poor Kennedy (!) And there's no cameras here. (CHUCKLES) Shut up, Grace. You must care a little bit if you came over. I was just doing what I would do for anyone. (SCOFFS) Right. And what you're doing is attention-seeking and pathetic. Why don't you go and put some clothes on, hm? Screw you. I guess that's not an offer... now that you're into cock? Why don't you go suck some?! Hey. Thank you. How you feeling? I lost the baby. Thanks for asking. Wait, you... you were pregnant? I was a few days overdue, but I didn't want to get our hopes up. Wait. You were going to a fight. After everything that` Don't you dare judge me. I was pregnant, not sick, and there was no way I was gonna let her think I was afraid. Who? Ariana. She's the one you should be blaming, not me. TEARFULLY: She kicked me. She killed our baby, and it's all her fault, but none of it matters because you love her. Annabelle` I heard you. You love her! (SOMBRE MUSIC) CRIES: I heard everything. Let me explain. Just get out of here! Fucking bastard. You liar. This is your fault! Get out! I never want to see you again. (SOMBRE MUSIC) Oh! Hello. Don't mind me. I'll call ya. (CLANG!) Don't say anything. I would be the last person to judge you, my darling heartbroken little boy. (SMOOCHES) I am just so glad that everything is back to normal. Chin-chin. Drink it up! Here's to Derek. (LAUGHS) Right. Here she is! Come on, join the party. Derek, Savannah. Savannah, Derek. Hey, Derek. She's a Truebridge, but she knows how to get down. (CHUCKLES) Don't ya, honey? Sure. Hey, Derek? What say you and a couple of the girls go out back for a private party, eh? Got a little something here you might be interested in. (ALL CHUCKLE) Ooh! (LAUGHS) Good luck! (LAUGHS) I am lining up a deal. It's gonna be huge. With that Derek guy? Oh my God. Look at you! You are so... Let's get a room. (CHUCKLES) I thought you were supposed to be keeping your distance. (SIGHS) I went on a couples' retreat with Caroline. Thing is, it made me realise that life is short ` too short for all this middle-class bullshit. If I can get this deal together, then I don't even need Caroline and you and I can have everything. And what is this deal exactly? Now,... let's go for a private. Sure. I missed you so much. I've missed you too. Mm. Have you? Hey, this isn't your fault. She didn't tell anyone she was pregnant. I still kicked her. Yeah, but didn't she start it? Yes, it` It's horrible. I should` I should go see her. No, no, no. Don't. Just to say I didn't mean for her to get hurt. You don't want to do that. She just needs to... calm down, I guess. What a mess. Hey. Hey, listen to me. This isn't your fault, OK? (SIGHS) Honestly, it isn't. I can't be here. This is wrong. Ariana, where are you going? I don't know. I just need some space to think. No, just` Please, just stay here. Look, you know how I feel about you. Let me go, please. (SOMBRE MUSIC) (BLUES THEME MUSIC) Copyright Able 2017 Let's get back to the offer from Reid Larson. Truebridge Hunt's biggest competitor wants me as the director. That's right. How keen are their board? Salivating. Hmm. Over little old me. Well, they are big on gender equality. (BOTH CHUCKLE) And on getting the good oil on their competitors. Well, I do know where some of the bodies are buried at Truebridge Hunt. So it's a yes? With a few conditions. Naturally. I want the option to buy into Reid ` at a reasonable price. Mm. To, uh, demonstrate our mutual commitment. Of course. I was out having a joint ` purely medicinal ` and I found him lurking. I tried calling you. I was busy. I will leave you to it. Talk soon. Thanks, Ford. Let me walk you out, handsome. They have me in the servant quarters. What do you want? Well, I'm trying to find Kennedy. She's not here. She disappeared after the charity fight. I tried calling, but, you know... If she doesn't want to talk to you, she won't answer. I know, but I tried calling. (LINE RINGS) Mum, what now? Where are you? Your father was worried about you. I'm fine. I'm on my way home. Great. Night. Mystery solved. Righto. Did you really have to come over in person to deal with this? Well, maybe we had some unfinished business, B. Night, Ricky. I mean, what was that about anyway ` kissing me? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. No. You know what? It confirmed something for me. Like? That thing we had? We still got it. Bullshit. (CHUCKLES) Second thoughts? Yeah. This. (BOTH CHUCKLE) (TENSE MUSIC) We're in trouble now. I think in the end, you'll see that this is all for the best. Hi. How was the fight? Terrible. Annabelle's in hospital. Guess all that training really did pay off. It wasn't like that. I'm sure we don't care. You are nothing but a little tramp cavorting behind John's back. OK. That's enough. Come on. I need some alone time with Ariana. (SCOFFS) Don't let her wriggle out of it. Goodnight, Mother. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) John, I know I hurt you. Hurt me? I changed myself for you. I took Jesus into my soul. And you just took a big old dump on my heart. I'm sorry, John. I really am. What's this? What are you doing, you just giving up? But` You don't even love me enough to put up a fight?! No, I do love you. I do. Yeah. You love me so much you slept with Joe. I didn't. I told you, I didn't. But you wanted to. You sinned in your heart, over and over... and over. Didn't you? (SCOFFS) Don't even bother. I don't wanna hear it. Why don't you just leave? (SOMBRE MUSIC) (SIGHS) I can't stand to look at you. Get out of my house. (SOLEMN MUSIC) (SIGHS, GRUNTS) (LAUGHS, SIGHS) I told you we still had it. It was a mistake. I wish all my mistakes felt this great. But, yeah, nah. Fair enough. Let's just call this closure, on account that I went to prison. How long are you gonna hold that against me? I don't. I'm all about the future, me. And if this never happened again, no problem. Great. Great. Brady, you still up? Shit. (SIGHS) Hang on, Savannah, I'll be right out. Do you remember that time your boss caught us going hammer and tongs out in the salon? There is a side door. Now, use it. What is it? So Fisher said he had plans. Big plans to do with this guy Derek. Derek Hansard? 40s. Whatever. Yeah. He's managing director at the ports. John and I tried to negotiate a buy-in, but Derek wasn't having a bar of it. Well, he's at club having fun with Fisher. Fisher was part of the original negotiations. That prick. He must've kept working Derek. They were best buds tonight. OK. I'll follow it up. Because that's worked out well (!) I don't know how much more I can keep doing this ` screwing him. I thought I could handle it, but, um... Hey. It's all right. We're nearly there. Promise me? I do. If there's anything else you can give me... I'm on it. (TENSE MUSIC) So, we're gonna start with a presentation ` ports in action. Positive graphics. Ah, the thing is we can't use our usual people, though. We've gotta be confidential. Lloyd doesn't even know about this. So we have one grab at this. We need to wow the board. Is that all because of this Derek guy? Yeah. I've been working him for months. Do you think he'll go for it? If we give him enough rope. You mean enough girls and cocaine? Well, if he decides to changes his mind, he might just find that an associate of mine happens to have the evidence. (CLICKS TONGUE) Snake. Yeah. It's really handy having friends that don't play by the rules. Whoa! Whoa. Slow down, tiger. I'm just impatient. Yeah, I can see that. Oh, you love it. (LAUGHS HALF-HEARTEDLY) Hey! Hey. How was it? Yeah, it was OK... I guess. Had a few beers with Steve in Tauranga. He did raise an issue. Can we take on more deliveries? (CHUCKLES) Shit, yeah! Might need some bigger trucks! You wanna go kick a few tyres, get some quotes? I love it when you talk heavy machinery. Do ya? Yeah. (CHUCKLES) (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Ooh. Shit. Sup? Brady. She wants the books. God, what have I done wrong now? BRADY: Yeah, I get that officially there are no plans to sell the port, but what's the real story? Brady. Well, anything you can find out, I would be very grateful. Thanks. (SIGHS) What is it? You need to ease up on Brooke, OK? Sorry? Hassling her about the books. They're up to date. We're doing well, we're even looking at expanding, so get off her back. Yeah, I know all that. You do? I'm impressed. Which is why now is a good time to sell. What? I'm selling Delaney Transport. No, you can't do that. I own it, so, actually... It was always part of the game plan. Not mine... or Brooke's. Hey. I'm sorry, Vader, but it's just business. Well, that's what everyone says when they're shafting you! If truck driving is your passion, I'm sure we can find you something else. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Andrea, thanks for getting back to me. What can you tell me about the ports? (SIGHS) Yeah. I thought as much. Briar, put this netball gear in your bag! So, I posted my latest video, which was should I have stayed and watched Denver's fight or should I have gone to see if my friend was OK? You were totally right to see that your friend was all right. OK, in the car, guys. Nearly all my followers agree as well. You were in very late last night. Yeah. I had to make an appearance at the odd after-fight party. Right. I'm glad I'm not the one with the hangover. (CHUCKLES MOCKINGLY) Oh my God. Everything all right? Some troll just posted something. Just ignore it. They're saying I'm a stupid bitch and that I should've stayed with Denver so he wouldn't rape their friend. What?! Give me that. Whoa, nah, this is bullshit. You saw Denver at the party last night, didn't you? Yeah. Just briefly, but, you know, he seemed fine. You gotta take no notice, hon. I have to dash. Yeah, nah. This is rubbish. So don't engage, don't respond. OK? Sure. I'm so sorry. I didn't know who else to talk to. After everything, I can't tell my parents. What has John done to you? That little... penis. He broke up with me. And he kicked me out. Oh, my darling. That's wonderful news. Not really. I had to sleep in my car. Well, why didn't you come to me? In fact, come and stay. Really? No, I insist! Look, we can make plans! Don't you see? Now you can be with Joe. (SIGHS) It's not that simple. Darling, we can work this out, I promise you. And if all else fails, they're just gonna blackmail Derek to support the deal. Brilliant. Anything else I need to know? Apparently, Lloyd knows nothing about it. That's interesting. Yeah. Maybe we should work this opportunity. I plan to. Me too. Should be fine. Don't be late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna be fine. Hey! So I'll see you guys around, eh? Bronco wants to take cash for the weekend. Hell, no. Not after what he did. He's really sorry about that. Well, I know, but` He's working on getting his shit together. I still don't trust the prick. It's your call. So, how did it go with Brady? Should I be worried? Uh, she reckons you've been doing a great job. That's good... isn't it? Maybe too good. (TENSE MUSIC) Where's the butler? I had to let him go. You don't need him now you've got a wife? They're all so damn interested in spying on me. Well, it is hard to find reliable help. I was so sorry to hear about Annabelle. Women's problems. She'll live. And how 'bout you, Lloyd? Are you well? I am... if the damn doctor's to be believed. So what is it you want? To give my regards. And say sorry that there's bad blood between us. (SCOFFS) I've been thinking it's time to bury the hatchet. You do, do you? Well, I am still a shareholder. And the company still matters to me. A little bird tells me you're buying into the ports. Brave. What's this about the ports? I know Truebridge Hunt are planning on making an offer. Who told you that? Neither confirm or deny, it's OK. I understand. You're talking through a hole in your head. I looked into it a while back. I just couldn't make the numbers work. Too much debt. But I'm sure you know what you're doing. Always. Good on you, Lloyd. (MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYS IN DISTANCE) Hey. Hey, gorgeous. (CHUCKLES) Good to see you. Aw. A bit of girl-on-girl action. Don't let me stop ya. Do you want a coffee? Why don't you get us both one? OK, babe. So, are you still Fisher's little broosh? Thought that was your job. You've got cojones, girl. I've always said that about you. But, yeah. Me and Mr Corporate got a good thing going. Mm. And what do you get out of the port deal? What do you know about that? I know it's a port, right? Has to have some uses to a guy with your interests in distribution. If you know what I mean. Why is that any of your business? Maybe I could get a cut. Maybe you could fuck right off. OK. Let me know when you need some help with your business strategy. (CHUCKLES) Maybe I will get that coffee. Darling, I tried to get Lloyd to visit Annabelle, but he refused. Why? He's terrified of sick people. It's like a phobia. Hey, we broke up. Oh no. Still, these things usually happen for a reason. SAMOAN ACCENT: Suga! Eh, cut the gossip, eh? Excuse me? NORMAL ACCENT: Uh, I'm the big cheese around here, OK? And I need to have a word with your boy. It's OK. Heard Annabelle's in hospital. How is she? Poor thing. It's none of your business, mate. (SNIFFS) OK. Does she know what you've been up to with my fiancee? Gettin' all hot and sweaty? What are you talking about? Who said that shit? Don't matter anyway. Getting rid of her, so you can have her. She's a bit used. (CHUCKLES) But she knows a few new tricks. Wait, what did you say? I said I'm giving her the flick. You joking? No, why? (CHUCKLES) Wow. She's finally free of you! Ooh, no, no. Slow down, cowboy. WHISPERS: Holy shit. I broke up with her. It was my decision. I don't think that matters. Oh, no, it does. Cos if I (CLICKS FINGERS) click my fingers, she'll just come running back. Hey, hey. Just leave her. Why? So you can have her? Wait, I thought that's` I thought that's what you wanted anyway. Hey, thank you. Thank you, mate. This has been the best news I've had all year. (BLUES THEME MUSIC) 1 (TENSE MUSIC) Lloyd. Go on. Go and suck blood elsewhere. Get out! Thank you. (TENSE MUSIC) So what's this about an offer on the ports? How do you know about that? Is it true? (CHUCKLES) Well, obviously I was gonna run it by you. Run it by me? I'm the chair of this board, the head of this company. You were supposed to be convalescing. You work for me. And I'm telling you now ` you do not advance this port nonsense one step further until I've had a chance to look over it. Do I make myself clear?! Crystal. You show me everything you've got. It wasn't me, I swear it. Well, you better not be lying. I might not like your shit-for-brains boyfriend, but rape isn't some sort of joke. Hey. Hey. How's it? I came home early. Those comments about Denver this morning, they've been reposted. I know. Everyone at school's talking about it. And how it only happened because I wouldn't put out. God, I'm sorry. These are serious allegations. You know that, eh? Sexual assault` Geez. Just... Now, we'll contain it, but I need you to be honest with me about what happened. I... I had a couple of drinks. There was this chick, she was keen and` ...and you slept with her. We kinda fooled around. That's all. I swear. Look, I'm really sorry. I just need a moment. (SIGHS) This is awful. Yeah, I know. I mean, Denver wouldn't hurt anyone. He's a sweet guy. Well, I'm glad you think so. And if you felt like putting that in a blog, feel free. But you said to ignore the trolls. I know, I know, I know. But I just think that Denver could use a friend right now. I mean, only if that's cool with you. Yeah, of course. Thanks, bub. I'm sure Lloyd will see that you're right. How the hell did he know about this? (SIGHS) Someone must've tipped him off. How could anyone have known that? Did you know my phone was bugged? Seriously? At first I thought it was Caroline trying to keep tabs on me, so I had it wiped. Oh, shit. But there's a more obvious leak. (TENSE MUSIC SWELLS) What else have you told Lloyd? Sorry, I don't` You work for me. I expect complete discretion. And you have it. I swear it. It's` It's bad enough... Bad enough what? What are you gonna say? (VOICE BREAKS, SNIFFLES) He's just been so touchy lately. Going off at the slightest thing. The doctor says he has to take it easy or he'll have another heart attack, but he's let the butler go, and the gardener, and he thinks he's being watched. OK, OK. Well, maybe you should just be at home looking after him. No. Please don't fire me. No, I'm not. Shh. OK, OK. Look, I just don't want a word leaving this office. Is that understood? On my honour. Good. Bless you. (EXHALES) It's not all bad if Brady sells. I mean, I could spend more time with Cash. Shit! I could do with a bourbon or three. What if I bought it? Some bourbon? No, the company. Delaney Transport. But how? Well, you were always going on about how I'm a rich kid. That's gotta count for something. Maybe I can get a loan. That would make you my boss. What's wrong with that? Well, what if we broke up? Well, is` is that what you want? No, I'm just saying if... (CHUCKLES) I don't know what the fuck I'm saying. It's worth thinking about, eh? Yeah, if it's what you want. Yeah! I mean, I've finally found something I'm good at. It's kinda cool not being the dumbest guy in the room. Because that would be me. No. Because we're a good team. Mm. (LOUD MUSIC PLAYS, CHEERING) Better make this quick. I've gotta get Derek to the casino. It's just a bit of a chat, partner. This port deal seems like an opportunity to make a bit of business, huh? You're getting well paid. I'm talking about a... whatchamacallit. Concession. I mean, there's a fuckload of containers that through the port, right? Maybe we should make the most of it. You talking about drugs? Not only. These days, it pays to diversify. Not really my thing. (CHUCKLES) Come on, Mr Corporate, thought you were taking a walk on the wild side these days. I just don't see the advantage in taking unnecessary risks. I've done shit for you, and you do shit for me. That's how this works, partner. I'll think about it. Well, if you want these,... have a good think. Hey. How nice you could visit. I thought you were coming home today. Oh, well. Men plan, God fucks you in the face. Look, I just wanted to say I don't know if we can go back to the way things were, but I still` Don't you dare. Why? Don't say you wanna still be friends or I'll stab you. Look, I wanna support you. We just lost a baby. (LAUGHS) Our baby. That's hilarious. (SOMBRE MUSIC) NANCY: Whoo-hoo. (LAUGHS) Oh! It looks better on you than me! I don't think so. (CHUCKLES) Darling, you could wear a paper bag and be gorgeous. Thanks. (SIGHS) I should probably go to John's and pick up some stuff. Except I'm kind of scared to face him. Then don't. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Now, if it's Satan, don't answer. It's Joe. (GASPS) Hurry up, then. Come on. Hello? Hi. I'm, um` I'm at the hospital. Is everything OK? There was no baby. What? Annabelle's got cancer... of the uterus. That's why` That's why they thought she was pregnant. (GASPS) Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. That's terrible. I better get back in there. Yeah, of course. My prayers are with you both. Thank you. Bye. What is it, darling? (CRIES) Sweetheart. Oh, sweetheart. (SNIFFLES, SOBS) 1 (TENSE MUSIC) Good morning. Have you spoken to Annabelle? She left some message. You do know she's not well, right? Look, we've got business to deal with, boy. Come on. Focus. It's that phobia thing I was telling you about. We have an opportunity with the ports. Let's buy into growth, expansion. Now, if you can just let me take you through the figures` Don't waste our time. Excuse me? What we need to be doing is buying dairy farms in Southland, Balclutha and Cheviot. Lloyd, I don't understand. Foreigners are buying up our country, and they need to be stopped. (CHUCKLES) The Chinese are our partners in several projects. It's the bloody Americans that are our real threat ` stealing our country, taking our birthright. OK. This port is a once-in-a-lifetime` It's off the table, Fisher. Lloyd, you can't just` Malia, please hand those out. What we need to do is commit all available resource to buying up South Island farms immediately and aggressively. Lloyd, I don't think this is very wise` There's a proposal on the table, boy. Do I have a seconder? Thank you, Graham. All those in favour? OK, this is insane. LOUDLY: All those in favour? I put you on this bloody board, and I can kick you off. All those in favour? (TENSE MUSIC) All those against? The motion's carried. Make it happen, Fisher. (TENSE MUSIC) Lloyd, what's going on? Your disloyalty is duly noted. This is not how we do business. This is crazy. What did you say, boy? This is not rational, Lloyd. I think you've forgotten something. I own you. Lock, stock and TBH housing. You do as I say or I'll call in my loan. You know I can't pay you back. Well, you tell me again that I'm demented, crazy. Lloyd, I didn't say` And our deal? It's off the table. She's defective, just like the mother. Huh? Annabelle. I mean, she's not going to give me a grandson now, is she? Now that she has that. No, no. Don't you talk about her like that. (SCOFFS) You raise your hand against me and I'll bring you down. (TENSE MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CELL PHONE RINGS) Yo. Your terms regarding the port ` I agree to them. Sounds smart. But there's someone I need taken care of once and for all. It could be risky after last time. If you don't, there won't be any port deal. Keep talking. BRADY: Oh my God. When I put a bomb under Lloyd, I had no idea. The timing couldn't be better. How is Lloyd going nuts gonna help us get Fisher? When words gets out that Lloyd wants to buy every farm in the South Island, what do you think that'll do to share prices? They'll drop. Bargain basement. And as CEO, Fisher will have to wear it. So what? Now we're gonna embarrass him to death? This is gonna work out perfectly. (SCOFFS) I mean it. We are so close. Yep. Great (!) - Savannah. - (CELL PHONE RINGS) You should take that. (CELL PHONE RINGS) (CELL PHONE RINGS) What is it? Thought we should catch up and talk about Kennedy. More pressing questions about her hair product? No, it's a little bit more serious than that. I'm listening. Well, this could go better in person. Last time was closure. Yeah, well, we could revise that position... or any position that suits. Not interested. Righto. Don't worry about Kennedy. All under control, eh. (RELAXING MUSIC PLAYS) Hey, guys. I just want to address these stupid Denver rumours. First of all, Denver is the sweetest, kindest guy. And whoever said he raped someone because I wouldn't put out ` seriously?! What century are you living in? We're just friends. So, the Kennedy Question for today is why are there so many haters in the world? My father said he'd bankrupt Joe? I'm afraid so. Yeah. He was upset, though. Did he say anything about me? Yeah, he wishes you his best and, um` You're so lying. How could he turn on you like this? I'm sure that I can help deal with it. My father doesn't listen to anyone. And this is my fault because I have cancer and they might take out my womb. Wait, Annabelle, where are you going? Out. Joe, wait. No, she should be taking it easy. I know this is awful, and I didn't want to say anything in front of Annabelle, but... I'm pregnant. I wanted to say something, but Lloyd insisted we wait until the genetic testing. But everything is fine. It's a healthy baby boy. So it's a boy? This is wonderful news. For both of us. Because we're family, and Lloyd really wants this baby. And he won't call in the loan. I will make sure of it. (CELL PHONE RINGS) (TENSE MUSIC) Hello? FISHER: Malia. I need you to come back into the office. Now? Yeah. I need you to proof the end of your reports. But they're not due till next week. You said you were keen to keep your job. I'll be in as soon as I can. Good. OK. We are good to go. Just make it look random, like a home invasion or an accident. They know. Go on, get. And don't fuck it up. (TENSE MUSIC) Well, I'll be in the office. Well away from the scene of the crime, eh? Just call me when it's done. (TENSE MUSIC) 1 Yeah, good. Thanks, Tom. Are you OK? Vader, use your words. Uh, the bank. They said yes. They'll lend me money. Oh my gosh! I know! So if you want, I can make an offer for the company. Yes, if that's still what you want! Yeah. Shit, yeah! (BOTH LAUGH) How dare you threaten Joe like that. You're just a nasty, evil old man. Don't call me old. Stay back! I have cancer. It's not catching. They're are certain types of viruses, Annabelle. Oh, stop it. Just stop it! What? Avoiding me. Treating me like I'm unclean or something. It's cruel and it's mean and it's not fair. I'm your daughter. For goodness' sake, stop going on about it. You act like you hate me so much. Like you hated Mum. That's just nonsense. (LLOYD SIGHS, BREATHES HEAVILY) Why don't you care about me? It's not that I don't care, OK? What?! (GRUNTS, PANTS) Tell me. I just need my heart pills, please. They're in the cabinet. Get them yourself. Don't be so stupid. (SCOFFS, LAUGHS) But I am stupid. Because all I ever wanted was for you to love me, and you never will. So, yes. Stupid. Wait. You know what? I don't ever want to see you again. So cut off my trust fund. Do what you want to me. Cos I don't even have a father any more. And leave Joe alone. (TENSE MUSIC) Just wanted to thank you for sticking up for me and that. You're amazing. That's cool. Hey, can I ask you something? Sure. Um, why did you choose that girl? Well, like I said ` I was drunk, she was all over me. No, I mean why did you choose her and not me? I dunno. Cos your dad would kill me. (CHUCKLES) He really likes you. And you're, like, way too classy for me. I'm not. Yeah! (CHUCKLES) You're, like, rich and everything. I know you only hung out with me cos you were being nice and for the press and that, but` No. Oh. That's not why. I like you. The thing is... I've never really done it with a guy before. We can take it slow if you want. I want. (EXPECTANT MUSIC) (DOOR OPENS) Malia, is that you? (GRUNTS) Malia? What the hell? What do you want? You` You want money? Jewellery? Look, I'm a very rich man. I can give you whatever you want. I... (SINISTER MUSIC) Hello! Is it safe to come in? Yes. Any sign of the brown do-gooder? No. Thank God for that. But I can tell you exactly where Ariana is. She is just leaving Brady's house. Why would you be tracking that traitorous little whore? What's the point in owning your own IT company if you can't use it to stalk your fiancee? You still can't be considering marrying her. Oh, I seriously am. But you got shot of her. Ariana does not get to walk away from me, not unless I say so. But, darling, there's` No. I am John Jr, loser no more. Ariana's meant to be mine, so I will have her. Me. Hey. Hey. We shouldn't be doing this. Look, I just` I needed to see you to explain. What ` you telling me you love me at the fight? Yeah. That's because I` I love you too. I always will. (SIGHS) We can't do this. We can't do this. But` And not with everything with Annabelle and John. I think we just need to face the fact that we can't be together. Yeah, but I don't believe that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. OK. It's OK. (SIGHS) (EXHALES HEAVILY) To Lloyd Maxwell, for losing the plot. Oh, he lost it 20 years ago. This is just catch-up. (CHUCKLES) I had my first meeting with your friends at Reid Larson. Mm. They are very interested in Truebridge Hunt. I knew they would be. What if Reid Larson bought into Truebridge Hunt? Your shareholders would have to agree to that. Oh, I'm confident I can get a majority, especially if our share price drops. Lloyd has made far too many enemies. Bless the old fucker. (CHUCKLES) Lloyd, darling, I'm home. I went to see Joe, and then Fisher insist` Lloyd, are you all right? (BREATHES RAGGEDLY) (GRUNTS, STOPS BREATHING) Lloyd, can you hear me? (EERIE, TENSE MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC) Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance. I've just come home and found my husband on the floor. I think he's had a heart attack. Yes, uh, 7 Oakfield Rd. Please hurry.
