Tangle (2009) s01e03 Episode Script

Episode 3

(DOORBELL RINGS) ALLY: I wish I'd concentrated more during geometry.
Hey, you.
There's probably some theory of triangles that would help me here.
You're full of shit, mate.
You left her because you love my wife.
Even though all three sides of a triangle are connected to each other, only two of them can meet in a point at any one time.
We're not hanging out with the body.
We're going to his house.
That's the problem with a triangle - those three lines never touch It's Romeo.
at a single point.
This is between you and me.
It's between the three of us.
It doesn't matter what you do, I'll still get to Max just like I can get to you.
CHARLOTTE: What did the parents say? Oh, they said, "You've let us down, worse, you've let yourself down.
" You know, that I have to understand I wasn't a normal kid.
Well, that's true.
Funny.
No, I think because, you know, my dad's position.
Not because you're weird? No.
And that's a discussion none of us are going to get into.
So, um, yeah, what happened to you? Grounded.
Mum was pissed off.
She doesn't need this.
It's fine.
She goes away today and I'm at Dad's.
Did they take your phone? Yeah.
Unbelievable.
I know.
What are we meant to do? So pissed off.
If I didn't steal the SIM out of it and have a spare at Dad's, I'd go to war.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey, sweetheart, how's school going? I fell asleep in the library and when I woke up, somebody had written 'freak' onto my arm.
That sucks.
Where's your mum? NEWSREADER: Police are investigating circumstances surrounding the finding of a body in bushland near Kew.
A police spokeswoman says that local police received a call late last night from a man saying that he'd discovered a man's body while walking his dog in a remote part of the well-known park.
The body is expected to remain at the scene while police conduct initial inquiries.
It's not yet known if the death is being treated as suspicious.
The police spokeswoman said that the man's identity had not yet been established and at this stage, the circumstances leading to his death are unknown.
(DOOR OPENS) What? They found him.
Shut up, Gigi.
And we're expecting a cold front And she looks great.
to come in off the bay.
So that's a chilly 9 degrees, rising barely to 11.
(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY) So scarves and mittens the order of the day.
And a word to the elderly, keep warm and if you haven't yet had your flu shot, it's not too late.
And that's tonight's weather.
Jim.
Oh, how was that? I used to watch you on 'Bravo Britain' when I lived in London.
Oh.
Oh, good.
Yeah, I didn't really get that show.
Look, you're very polished, very professional, but unfortunately for this weather girl, we are actually looking for a weather girl, not a weather middle-aged woman.
What? (WHISPERS) What? They found the body.
Went and had a look at it.
Oh, thanks for the invite.
We thought you were grounded.
I don't get grounded.
Whatever.
We we went there and it was a crime scene.
Police tape, those guys in overalls.
CSI.
What? CSI.
They'd be forensics.
The thing is, what do we do now? We? You found the body, Max.
What? You're the one who should be worried is all I'm saying.
Romeo, don't be Charlotte, Max found the body, didn't report it.
As soon as they process the scene they're gonna see the body's been tampered with.
By all of us.
Yeah, they'll trace it back to us first, but who found the body - that'll be the issue.
Then who is it? You, Max.
And I don't know if you realise this, but you're not a normal kid.
You're a pollie's son.
We're, like, page 12 of the 'Brunswick Gazette'.
You, however, you're front page every capital city, like, you know, lead story, 'A Current Affair'.
Serious bullshit and questions on '60 Minutes'.
That's unfair I don't mean to scare you, Max.
I'm just saying, you're so fucked.
Pricks! You were fine.
I felt I got a bit addled.
Oh, even addled you're poetry in motion.
The bullshit you come out with.
I should go into politics.
Just a rough day.
The centre right are hunting Julie Taylor.
Her preselection's up and they want George Pomelo in.
Well, they're not gonna roll her.
It's our branch.
I know, but they're cocky and that's what worries me.
They could have something on her.
Go and sniff Billy's armpits.
See what you can smell.
Mate, this is a brilliant idea.
I applaud you.
This is just what I needed.
Yeah, you've gotta do it, mate, before your knees give out.
What are we stopping for? No way.
Hello.
Gabriel, this is Em.
Em, Gabriel.
Hi, Gabriel.
Hi.
Do you mind if I have the front? I get car sick.
Oh, hey, course he doesn't.
No.
Mmm, right.
Let's roll.
You alright with that seatbelt? Yes, mate.
How do you spell "punctilious fuckhead"? How are you, Billy? How am I? Oh, you're such a caring person, Timmy.
I guess that's why you're the boy most likely.
Most likely to what? To be a star.
But will you be a shooting star that burns up or a constellation we remember forever? Well, you give me a better ministry and I'll show you.
Ah, the impatience of youth.
Julie Taylor.
Julie Taylor.
Tall woman, beaklike nose, way with words, right? What about her? There's a rumour going around centre right that they've got something on her, and they're gonna try and roll her on preselection.
I don't listen to gossip, Timmy.
Only facts for Billy.
Truth is beauty, beauty truth.
That's all we know, and all we need to know.
So we can rest easy? I wouldn't go doing that.
No? No, the fact is, she has a few rieslings and then lets the catering staff eat her for dessert.
No way.
Fact is, they're gonna play hardball with you on this, Timmy.
And when they release it, she's gonna be mince in the bag.
Crass, terrible, disgusting, I know.
Personally I am against them dealing with our personal lives in this way.
And the Premier? Well, he's gonna have to let it play out.
But it'd be good if you could stop it.
And how do I do that? Well, two options - you could convince them to stop, or convince her to go.
So you didn't think to tell me she was coming? No, because I thought you'd have a little hissy fit.
Turns out I was right.
I'm a good friend of your wife's.
You wanna bone my wife.
That doesn't necessarily make you a good friend.
I'm going back.
I'm going back.
I'm gonna hitch a ride.
Oh, don't be a dick! I'm being a dick? This was supposed to be a boys' weekend away and you've brought your bloody mistress! Yeah, it's kind of a perfect weekend, isn't it? Look, I need someone to just have a drink with after I've finished fucking the beautiful Em's brains out.
Hey, come on.
It's gonna be you, me, slopes.
You know, it's gonna be a great time.
You're unbelievable.
Don't ruin this with your fuckin' righteous bullshit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's alright.
I should have told you.
I'll make it up to you.
Here, look.
Hey, miss, miss.
Have a look at him.
Do you think he's pretty? He is, isn't he? He's quite pretty.
Vince! Do you wanna She likes you.
He didn't tell you, did he? I like surprises.
(LAUGHS) You're a piece of work, Kovac.
No, I'm glad you're here, Em.
He can be a bit dull.
And it's always nice to have a beautiful woman with a sense of humour around.
VINCE: Hey, hey.
Don't try and crack onto her in front of my face, alright? EM: I don't mind.
You've got beautiful eyes.
Oh.
Thanks.
So how do you write up there? Does the ink flow without gravity? YURl: No, it doesn't.
The Americans spent years and millions of dollars trying to formulate an ink that would flow.
And did it work? Yes.
And did the Americans let you have the ink? We use pencils.
Apparently it never occurred to the Americans.
Oh, gotta go, Yuri.
I'll try and find you tomorrow.
It's kind of like an internet affair, isn't it? No, it's not.
It's a friendship.
It's a kind of emotional infidelity.
He's a man in space.
How interesting is that? I find it extraordinary.
Do you want to fuck him? It's not always about sex.
Well, when you masturbate, do you imagine that you're alone in a space station with Yuri? No gravity, just floating towards one another and his big Russian Nat! Can you make me tea? Have you got crumpets? Help yourself.
I keep saying that, right? And I seem to often end up making everything for you.
I like it, and you do too.
I think it suits you.
(LAUGHS) How did your audition go? Great.
I don't know whether I wanna be a weather girl.
I was on 'Bravo Britain', for Chrissakes.
You know, I think I'm too mature and professional, you know, too seasoned to be a weather girl.
They thought you were too old.
Fuckers! You know, this little bitch, you know, the things she said to me.
I mean, you know, what am I? Angry.
And hurt.
No, I'm just angry, I'm not hurt.
People like that can't hurt me.
Then why am I making you crumpets and tea? (DOOR OPENS) Gigi! Whoo! He'll pull your pigtails out by the roots if he catches you in here.
Do I really look that old? No.
But you're older than you were.
Jesus, I hate that.
And I wouldn't care about that studio bitch, but I found a grey pube the other day.
You know, that pulls you up short.
What's next, menopause? I still see myself as 16.
Don't worry! You still act 16.
Oh, thanks.
I suppose when 24-year-olds start saying it, that's when I should start worrying.
Nat, you're not past it and you never will be.
I mean, you're like this force of nature.
Where's the Nat attitude? You gonna let some young producer of some shitty breakfast show get you down? Yeah, I was on 'Bravo Britain'.
I know! I was nominated for a BAFTA.
I know! I've done more coke than she's seen.
Might not wanna mention that.
You grounded? Hey.
Um, what are you doing home? I had a meeting at the electoral office.
How's school? Anything new to report? (PHONE RINGS) Yeah, Pat.
Oh, look, it's bad, mate.
Look, ah, where are you now? Right, I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Hey, I have to go.
OK? Yeah.
What was all that about? Oh, just something I hope you don't have to read about in the papers tomorrow.
What happened? Nothing.
Do me a favour, Max.
Don't become a journo.
Promise me that.
VINCE: Eat my shit! I'll see you at the chairlift! (LAUGHTER) Hey, don't laugh at him.
He's a doctor.
You knob.
(CHUCKLES) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hi.
Hi.
It's dark in here.
Yeah.
Why? Just thinkin'.
What about? Stuff.
Care to be more specific? Not really.
You angry about your punishments? I mean, I guess it could feel unfair that we hold you to higher standards 'cause of your dad's position.
I guess so.
I mean, it's a lot of responsibility, you know, not screwing up so I don't wreck my dad's reputation.
Come on, it's not that full-on.
You were just acting out.
It's normal.
Thanks for validating me.
Shut your face.
Are you sure you're OK? Yeah.
Can I have my phone back? No.
OK.
Do you want the light on? No.
No, it's fine.
OK.
What are them clothes doing on? They just have to get torn off.
OK.
(LAUGHS) Aren't you worried he's gonna tell someone? No, he's not gonna tell anyone.
(GROANS) Do you wanna get caught? No.
You just wanna prove you can get away with anything, don't you? Hmm? I kinda wanna punch you in the face right now, and kind of wanna fuck you as well.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Oh, no way! Hey, look at that, there's a door! So what are you guys doing? I've got complimentary champagne.
How did you get complimentary champagne? You don't have 'doctor' in front of your name, mate.
Is it French? Ah, yeah.
Well, come on in, then.
(EM CHUCKLES) (NEWS PLAYS ON TV) (MASTURBATES) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Get out! What are you do Mum! Oh, ah, sorry, sorry.
(ZIPS) I didn't know Médecins Sans Frontieres was in Russia.
Oh, yeah, they're everywhere.
What did you do there? Drank vodka.
Banged girls called Svetlana.
(LAUGHS) I'm probably not a good person to talk to about all this.
Why not? Because I came to a conclusion I didn't want to come to.
EM: What? Well, I'd go out every day and treat these street kids.
And when you meet 'em they're dirty-haired, cunning little smart-arses, then winter comes around, and they start sniffing glue, whatever they can get their hands on to keep their minds off the cold.
And they end up brain damaged.
They're walking around barefoot because they sold their shoes.
It's minus 20 degrees.
They get frostbite and you amputate their feet.
You watch these kids disintegrate in front of you, and your hope and any ideas that you had that what you did had any kind of meaning disintegrates with them.
See why I bring him? He's fun.
(LAUGHS) Shit.
Ah, fuck that.
I'm sure there's some little Olga out there who got saved because of all your do-goodery and bleeding heart stuff.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe nothing, mate.
You could have been a golf-playing, BMW-driving wanker, you know it.
I mean, you will be now, now that you've lost all hope.
(BOTH LAUGH) So what about you, Em? You seem like a nice girl.
What are you doing with him? Bad divorce.
Needed sex regularly with someone unreliable and not needy.
So there go your chances.
(LAUGHS) You aren't gonna start punching each other, are you? Because that would be too boring.
Make me feel like I'm 17 at a B & S ball.
Alright, alright.
Truce, hey? Sure.
Now, you're only saying that because you think you've won.
I have, mate.
I've got two women.
You've got none.
(LAUGHS) Fuck you, Vince.
(LAUGHS) Fuck you.
(LIQUID RUNS) (FABRIC RUSTLES) Oh, shit, sorry.
Did you just get home? Yeah, big night.
Massive factional brawl over the preselection of Pomelo in Hayes.
Isn't that Julie Taylor's seat? Yeah, but they're pushing for Pomelo big time.
The right want her out and him in.
Oh, well, they can't have it.
That's our seat.
Well, they're gonna publicly crucify her if she doesn't go.
Why? What'd she do? She got drunk and screwed two of the catering staff.
What? (LAUGHS) What?! She's married.
Yeah.
Problem that.
Anyway, one mistake.
I mean, I don't think it deserves public destruction.
Is that why Bryan Dougherty rang last night, twice? Oh, did he? Mmm.
Shit.
He sniffs it's out there, the maggot.
Anyway, I think she's coming round.
I promised her something sweet if we can get someone else in fast.
Oh, well, aren't you good at your job? Mmm, it's impressive, isn't it? Mmm, you're handling people.
That's why you're happy.
Well, what else? It's what I love to do.
Mmm.
Do you wanna have sex? Yeah.
But I have to get to sleep.
I've gotta get up at 5:00.
Oh, God, that's in three hours.
I know.
Max is acting a little strangely with me.
I saw him today.
He seemed OK.
When did you see him? I dropped home this afternoon.
Well, where were you that you could drop home? Electoral office.
I think he was masturbating.
(SNORTS) I know.
Good on him.
(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) Shut up.
(LAUGHS) Oh, mate, I swear I'll fuckin' come over there and thump you.
(CLEARS THROAT) How do you know I won't tell Ally? How long have we known each other? Since we were 12.
We're men.
That's why.
Men don't do that to each other.
Plus you know if you did, I'd gut you like a fish.
I know you can't see me trembling, but I assure you I am.
I know you are.
EM: Get up, Vince.
I came here to get laid, so unless Gabriel's up for it, it'll have to be you.
Are you (LAUGHS) Are you up for it? (LAUGHS) TIM: Yeah, just meet me there.
OK, great.
OK.
Who was that? Julie Taylor.
Do you think I've put on a few pounds? That was early, to call her.
Yeah, well, desperate times.
She wants to know what they have on her.
(PHONE RINGS) Oh, shit, it's the car.
What's your day like? Ah, busy.
OK, talk to you later.
Ah, so the seminar is a set of basic tools for your staff regarding communication and how to interact with each other in a positive and meaningful way, and also deal with their client relationships, including difficult relationships, and strategies to Can you just hold on a minute? I can give you a lift to school if you can wait.
No, no, no, it's OK.
(DOOR OPENS, THEN SHUTS) Oh, sorry, where were we? Yes, and strategies to facilitate good outcomes for, um, for everyone.
Here's the thing.
Number one, I have no doubt I'm a better performer than any of these nervy little fillies with no experience but big tits who are chewing nicotine gum in the foyer.
Number two, there's a law called age discrimination.
Number three, you are going to give me this job.
Number four, you are a rude cow, which is unprofessional and maybe why you're still working in Melbourne, and I can see that that's making you bitter, and bitterness will only make you older faster, as you'll find out.
Geelong, fine and 22.
Some light precipitation in the ranges.
Have a good weekend and back to you, Kevin.
Yeah, no, sorry, Bob.
I've just got someone ranting at me.
I'm not leaving.
Just let me Shit.
Nat? (LAUGHS) Nat! Oh, my God! Gordon! Gordon! What are you doing here? I work here.
What are you doing here? You work here? I thought you were in New York.
I met a boy.
Fell in love.
He's a footballer, but one of us had to move, so And you? Deported for tax evasion.
(LAUGHS) Of course you were! Oh, God, I miss people like you.
Come on, let's have a coffee.
Oh, actually, they just threw me out.
Why? Some bitch called Melanie called me old yesterday, so I decided to come back and call her a few things.
(LAUGHS) You staying long? I moved back to be with my son.
Yeah, I forgot you had a son.
Well, maybe you can do something for us.
I'd certainly think about it.
Mmm.
(SIGHS) How'd it go with Julie? She's stubborn.
She doesn't think they'll come out with it.
Private lives are supposed to be off-limits.
Except when your own party wanna gut you, empty your entrails onto the road.
She thinks they're bluffing.
It'll damage the party.
She denies she did it.
Apparently the CCTV doesn't lie.
I told her, and then she cried.
Oh, I hate it when people do that.
Cry.
She's losing her whole career, Pat.
I didn't say I didn't understand it, I said I hate it.
So, she'll roll? Well, she wants to know if we'll fight with her on it.
Let it come, and fight it out.
The principle of private lives, etc.
There's rules in politics.
One is you can't ride two waiters in a kitchen during a Rotary function.
(LAUGHS) Two people at once.
You ever done that? Well, why would I tell you that? The faction can't afford to lose your seat.
Well, she'll go if we say so.
You feel sorry for her? Well, one mistake.
I mean, who hasn't screwed up? One mistake's all it takes, Timmy.
Salutary lesson for you.
Call them.
Tell 'em she'll go.
They can stop the presses.
And well done.
(INHALES FROM PUFFER) VINCE: Yeah, yeah, I'll tell him you say hello.
He's done something to his groin, though.
No, he keeps keeps rubbing it.
(LAUGHS) I love you too.
I love ya.
Love ya.
'Bye, babe.
How do you do it, eh? Oh, you just I don't know.
You just realise you can and then you you just go for it, really.
She's so good, Vince.
Yeah.
Do you remember when you were married? I've never been married That's right.
You never have been married, so you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, alright? Hey, you remember when we were kids? You remember when we were 15, 16, we played in that soccer team, and I fucked the coach's wife and she scratched the shit out of my back? You remember? Scratched the shit out of it! Yes, I remember.
And you were terrified, mate.
You shat yourself.
You thought that when I took my top off after the game, the coach was just gonna know.
Yeah, but what happened when you did? You did take your fuckin' top off, and you were covered in scratches.
And he walks up to you and says, "Who was she, Kovac?" And what'd I say? "Your fuckin' wife, coach.
" And what'd he do then? Pissed himself.
He pissed himself laughing.
Oh, there we go.
You ready? Let's go.
Whoo-hoo! (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) So you up for smoking a joint? Is your mum at home? No, she's on a business trip.
I think she's off secretly shagging.
(LAUGHS) Oh, well, maybe we should go there.
I don't think so.
Why? You were an arsehole to Max yesterday.
I was just fucking with him.
He knows that.
It was a joke.
I didn't notice him laughing.
It's in the paper.
It was on the radio too.
Hey, look, Max, sorry about yesterday.
I was just taking the piss, alright? We're all in this together.
And we need to go to the house tonight to see if we left anything incriminating.
What? No way.
The cops.
My dad says cops are practically retarded.
Well, I'm grounded, so Dude, if we left shit there Yeah, and if we get caught in there? Yeah, I know.
We can't risk it.
It's alright.
Charlotte and I will do it.
I suppose.
NAT: Max! Oh, your fake mum's here.
Hey.
(NAT SPEAKS INAUDIBLY) What? I've fixed it.
It's out there.
Well, I convinced her to go.
No blood.
We had a frickin' deal.
Sorry, mate, too late.
She was being a stubborn bint.
We felt she needed a push.
And the party needed to look like amateurs in public.
We can take it.
The important thing is, fuck her.
Well, who'd you give it to? Oh, not Dougherty! Of course.
Gotta pick the right whore.
Tim, she deserved it.
You don't carry on like that.
She made it an issue.
And now you've made it a scandal for us.
(PHONE RINGS) Two days news.
And a good message for all the rest - don't fuck with us on preselection.
Hey, honey.
Just a second.
I'm putting a stop to this.
Good luck.
Hey, baby, sorry.
Can you get me Dougherty? Yeah, I know.
I've been flat out, I'm sorry.
Oh, I just went to pick up Max and he was picked up by Nat instead.
Right.
Did you say that she could do that? No.
He won't talk to me all of a sudden.
Now he's got Nat, and I'm just Don't be paranoid.
We've grounded him and he's just pissed off at us, that's all.
Don't defend her.
I didn't.
Um, can we do this another time? I have to go, honey.
He's in the building.
Do you want face? Face.
He's my son.
She hasn't seen him for 10 years and she comes swanning back in Find him! Are you listening to me? Look, babe, I have to go, OK? Oh, fine.
Fine, really.
It's it's really not important.
I don't know why they make these so fucking big.
I want coffee, not a milkshake.
You're quiet.
I found a dead body in the bush near the river.
What? On my birthday I went for a walk, and I found this dead guy.
I didn't tell anyone.
I mean, the cops.
You found a dead body! Nat! That's amazing.
No, because now the cops have found it, which is my point.
What do I do? I think I'm in big trouble.
What, because you didn't call it in? Big deal.
I'm not a normal kid.
You don't wanna be normal, Max.
I've never done it myself but it looks dull.
I mean, I'm Dad's son.
Right.
I mean, what happens if No, no, nothing'll happen.
No, no.
Even if they find out, they'll keep it quiet because you're his son.
I mean, that's how politics works.
Power is protected.
You're home free.
Really? Unless the press finds out about it somehow.
Unlikely.
Anyway, I came to tell you about my new job.
It's called 'So You Think You're So Gifted'.
Foxtel, brand-new, fronting the thing.
I mean, they've been looking for someone forever, but as Gordon says, you don't just trip over talent like me every day.
Are we finished talking about me, or? You'll be fine.
You'll always land on your feet, Max.
It's in your genes.
It's a gift I gave you.
You're too late.
Fuck off.
Listen, mate, that's a short-term attitude.
It's a short-term world.
I could be dead tomorrow, but at least I'll go out with a front page.
She doesn't deserve this.
She's a good member.
Oh, come on! She lays back and acts as a buffet table for half the dining room staff.
'AII You Can Eat', that's a headline.
Witty.
Isn't it, though? She has a husband, kids.
She's leaving.
So? You a cleanskin in the ways of adultery and booze, Bryan? Hey, I ain't on the public tit.
The public have a right to know what the members are up to.
That's the price you pay.
You do this, and we will cut you dead.
Oh, yeah, for a while.
Then you'll need me again.
That's how it works.
I swear to God.
I will not forget this or you.
Swear to Kevin Sheedy all you like, mate, but it's done.
And I'll do it to anyone in your little club.
And that includes you, convent boy.
Oh, that is so great.
You should've seen me.
Shit, I was impressive.
I knew you'd get it.
(LAUGHS) We should go out and celebrate.
There's the sister I know and love.
We should go out one night with Christine.
Why would we do that? Well, be nice if we could all get along.
Nice? She's my friend, and she's been a good mother to Max.
What, the implication being I haven't? You haven't.
No! I'm not gonna make happy faces with that barren bitch.
Ever.
I'll get dressed.
I'm gonna look hot, so make an effort.
No, no, no, it would be an honour.
I'd love to speak.
Yeah, so it's Brisbane, July 4.
OK.
Ah, can you email me the details and we'll talk then? Alright, I've gotta run.
OK, thank you.
Hi! MAX: Hi.
I just got invited to speak at an international conference in Brisbane.
Oh, that's great.
How was your day? Good? Yeah.
Boring.
You're a bit late.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I remember going to this party once.
My parents didn't know.
No-one knew.
I didn't even go with friends.
This guy at a football game gave me his address and number, and I snuck out and I stole a bottle of Tia Maria and a litre of milk.
Really? Oh, yeah, yeah.
And this party was so wild.
There was older guys.
And I was knocking back this Tia Maria and I got so drunk, and I was seeing double.
And I just remember waking up on the trampoline without my underpants.
Good story, Mum.
