Sisters (2017) s01e05 Episode Script

1 Um, this is who we believe to be the first Julius Bechly baby.
Why does it matter who was first? I just need to know, was he trying to help people or is he just a monster? That is the right age.
It could be him.
Why didn't he post himself? Abraham Gill is in prison for manslaughter.
That's naughty.
You've got a secret.
Roxy, you can't perform like this.
I don't need you to be part of it.
I never did.
Please go.
Maybe she doesn't like having sex with me.
Maybe she likes women.
Maybe.
[CRASH!.]
What's going on? - Amanda just quit.
- What? I don't want you to quit, and I think I'm falling for you.
You're never gonna leave Tim.
You're not even gonna tell Tim.
Look, I get it, but I have to protect myself.
Oh, my God.
Let's stop talking about Edie for a while.
It's home time.
[OFFICE CHATTER, INDISTINCT.]
Hi.
Ready? Say, "Carl, you're a wizard" for coming up with the interview idea.
" I am a fucking wizard.
[PHONE RINGS.]
ASSISTANT: Edie, Ron Karibas on the phone for you.

- Just take a message.
You do the introductions? - Sure.

She's been integral to this case.
I can't believe she's leaving us.

Thank you.
You too.
Thank you.
Looking busy out there.

Bye.
People ask me why I never found a place to stop Robert? And settle down down down I never wanted all the things People need to justify their lives lives lives ROXY: Julia, are you in the kitchen? Julia, I can't find the attachments for the vacuum.
ISAAC: Nothing in this house makes sense! - I can't hear you.
- Hello! Our song has gotten over 18,000 views on YouTube overnight! That's great.
I know! Are you alright? What are you doing today? I'm gonna go and get a DNA kit from the clinic, and then go visit Abraham.
In jail? - You know how we feel about that.
- Yeah, I do.
I should come with you for protection.
He's in there for murder.
Manslaughter.
What's the difference? It he caused someone to die, but he didn't mean it.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- I should totally come with you.
- Yeah.
It's fine.
I'll go on my own.
- OK OK.
- Yeah.
- Anyway, I'm gonna shower.
- OK, ciao! See ya, babe.
[EXHALES.]
Oh, my God! You're a bit jumpy.
[LAUGHS.]
It's just me.
I know.
It was just a joke.
That's not a funny joke! Can't do anything right.
Sorry.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here, Julia? I'm just getting a DNA kit.
Why? I work here.
You can't be here anymore.
We're in the middle of a lawsuit and you went on national television.
To find out who the first sibling was.
You and I decided that it would help us understand What's with this? I never said go on television! You admitted fault on behalf of the institute.
Yeah, well, people need to know that the institute is sorry, and we are sorry.
You're really mad.
OK, let me be clear, Julia.
You made yourself a spokesperson for the institute, and then you claimed responsibility.
You have completely stuffed us! Well, you said you were gonna have to settle, anyway.
Yeah, but now thanks to your heartfelt apology, we have no room to negotiate a settlement that doesn't destroy us.
So now, the Bechly Institute is gonna be litigated out of existence, all because you have stuffed us.
I'm sorry.
Collect your things, you need to leave.
By the way, I found him the first.
Not that you're asking, and he's in jail and I'm gonna meet him today! Oh, thank you.
Amanda, yeah, yeah, it's Ron.
- AMANDA: Hi, Ron.
- I've been trying to get in touch with Edie since yesterday.
She won't return my calls.
Sorry, the Sunday Spotlight interview brought an unexpected amount of new claimants.
Can I help? Well, the interview is why I want to speak to someone! It's a circus! It's all over the news, neighbours have been round.
What should I do? It's very exposing.
You know, I expect someone to respond to my calls.
I understand, and each case is different.
It depends on how many people are involved.
Um, Ron, I do have to go, but can we make an appointment to talk about it? Can you come in tomorrow? I'll pass on the message for Edie to call you.
Thanks.
[DIAL TONE.]
And then, I've also been reading about other places where this exact same thing has been happening.
IVF guy gets caught using his own swimmers, and now we've got all these new connections.
Brothers, sisters Do you not feel that? Edie? S I'm sorry, Robert.
I've suffered depression my whole life.
I would wake up in the middle of the night as a child and walk around the house, sad.
Right, and you feel that this depression you've suffered, that's, um, that's a result of your conception? I can see sadness in you, too.
I recognise it.
[BREATHING INCREASES.]
You can't keep ignoring Ron's calls.
You need to call him back.
OK.
Walk me to the lift? Shelby's already been ringing me.
I'm really glad we got Henderson on the case today.
[TIM'S VOICE FADES.]
[HEARTBEAT PULSES.]
I slept with Amanda.
I slept with Amanda.
But I have court now.
Yeah, I know.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hi.
How many times? Three.
Tim? [DIAL TONE BEEPS.]
T Hi.
Morning.
Good morning.
Um I told him.
Told who what? I told Tim about us.
So, you don't have to leave, and it's actually It's gonna be fine.
We're gonna be fine! I don't know what you're thinking, but it's not fine.
N No, no, it is fine, because I'm trying to fix things.
Last night, you said that I wasn't gonna - You had no right, Edie.
- What? You're not the only person this involves.
[EXHALES.]
And I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love Love that was so strong And I still walk on I think of Things we've done together While our hearts were young I'm a-walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery And I wonder I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder Why, why, why, why Why she ran away And I wonder Where she will stay My little runaway Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Abraham.
Abe.
Only Mum calls me Abraham.
Julia Bechly.
Where's the singer? - Roxy? - Yeah.
She's got a lot on at work at the moment.
It's just, um, you know, I like singing.
I can harmonise really easily with her songs.
Cool.
Have you been in a place like this before? No.
[LAUGHS.]
But you came here on your own to meet a convicted killer? Because you could possibly be the first sibling, or the, um, the oldest.
Out of how many? Um, over 100.
Well, lucky me.
Uh, I left a DNA kit with the guards.
They're just checking it.
So, you're certain you were conceived at the Bechly Institute? Mm, my mum and dad, they fought a lot when I was growing up, and Dad would yell at me about not being his.
Can I talk to your mother? - She died.
- Oh.
Why do you want to talk to her? Oh, it doesn't matter.
What, you hope I'm not your brother? No! It's alright, I'm locked up.
You can you can tell whatever the fuck you want.
I was convinced that by finding the first that my dad fathered, it would help me understand, but I'm just really worried about what it means if you're my brother.
I know that's a shitty thing to say.
I didn't kill anyone.
- The jury found you guilty.
- That's true.
My question is are you in here because you carry the worst parts of my father? Are you the true version of him? - Is he pretty bad? - Well, he did what he did, and he lied to everyone, and me, my whole life.
You know, I always thought that he was just maybe not the most engaged father, or he wasn't that interested in me as a daughter, but you know, he was consumed with work and he, you know, at least he was a really good, trustworthy person, but he's not because he's capable of doing what he did.
So, you've got trust issues.
I guess so.
You think that I'm doing time because your father jerked off into a petri dish.
It wouldn't have been a petri dish.
No, still, it's a bit of an oversimplification.
But I would hate to undermine that anger you've got simmering there.
Carl, hi! - Roxy.
- Hi.
- You nailed it.
- Oh! I think we all just spoke from our truth.
Well, I've got an appointment just now, but it's good to see you, Roxy.
While I've got you, I just wanted to ask a question about whether you would represent me.
- Sorry? - For the single, and as an artist.
The song's had over 20,000 hits since last night, and I'm gonna need a lawyer, aren't I, for contracts? I've recently changed my manager.
Sure, I'm not that sort of lawyer, though.
You need an entertainment lawyer.
Oh, right.
But I know a couple of good ones.
Let's meet for a drink and we can talk about it.
Sure! Oh, I know the perfect place.
- Great.
- Great! Uh, Alan, hi.
Carl Hagen.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Take a seat.
Thanks.
Edie, we're ready.
Ron! I'm involved in all of this because of you! Yes, um, look, should we talk in private? "If it's of any comfort, Ron, it's personal to me too.
"It's not just about you, Ron.
It's about helping other people.
" - Uh - Why haven't you taken my calls? I feel as though I'm being taken for a fool! - Am I? - No, no, look, uh, I really did think that Amanda was dealing with you.
Dealing with me? Is that how you see this? You came to my house! What kind of person are you? [GASPS.]
Oh! [RON TALKS INDISTINCTLY.]
I'm I'm I'm sorry I yelled at you, love.
What did you do? I-I-I should go.
Yes, you definitely should! Before you ruin anything else! Go, Dad, go! [PHONE RINGS.]
Roxy, yes.
I'm at Edie's work.
Something's happened to her! She's on the floor.
She's-she's breathing, I think.
I think she's crying but it's the weirdest thing.
The tears are there, but they're not coming out.
I really don't know what you're saying.
You need to come! Can you come? To the law firm that's suing me? I've just been to prison to see our brother.
OK, I'll come.
I'm coming.
OK, great.
Please hurry.
Excuse me.
Hi, quick.
Can you hear me? Uh, hello! Nothing to see here! Thank you! - Excuse me.
- Oh, hi.
We think Edie might just need a little rest.
We have interviews all day.
Does she look like she's ready to do an interview? - And you are? - This is Julia, our sister.
Should we call an ambulance? No, I really think Edie just needs a little moment.
It's been a really emotional time.
I did ask if it was too much for her.
Edie! Hey! We got this, OK? I'll ask if Amanda can help with the interviews.
[GROANS.]
Do you have any idea what Can you try and put, um, words around the feelings? [GROANS.]
- OK, good.
- OK.
- Um - Um I've got a crush on Carl.
Carl? Oh, here before Carl? Yeah.
A bad one.
We're going for a drink.
What about Isaac? No, I told you I'm not a man thief.
OK, Isaac is not, and was never my man.
He really, he really wasn't, even if I thought I wanted him to be for a second.
I slept with Amanda.
And it was wonderful.
[SIGHS.]
I'm a virgin.
I don't know why.
We got to get out of here! Yeah.
Come on.
Get up.
Oh, my gosh.
- You alright? - Yeah.
Alright, OK.
Oh, God.
Hey, you forgot your things.
Thanks! See ya! That guy's a jerk.
Is he? Oh, I don't know why I said that.
[GULPS.]
- Tim.
- Hi, Angela.
Can I just You don't have an appointment.
Edie slept with a woman.
Tim, you need to make an appointment.
Let's make a time.
That's all I wanted to tell you.
Three times.
OK, um, why don't you call me on the after-hours number, I'll get the message and I'll call you back.
OK.
Sorry.
Patrick, I'm so sorry.
Why don't you come on in? I really like him.
Like, I really like him.
And I just feel like he would know what to do, and then I wouldn't have to know.
So, um Do you Do you imagine doing things with Carl that make you feel good? Well [GIGGLES.]
What was that? I just I feel so embarrassed.
I felt I felt scared.
You should be with someone lovely for the first time.
I really, I think he's so lovely.
No, he's not.
I mean, I like him, but yeah.
You shouldn't sleep with him.
But I've got a date with him tomorrow.
Well, that's really inappropriate.
Argh! Hey, you know Isaac really likes you.
He wants to take you out.
I know he doesn't have, like, the stuff that Carl has going on, but he'd make a really good boyfriend.
I just don't understand how you're a virgin.
Well, I have nearly I've nearly done it, like, a lot of times, but I just Like, it gets so close to happening and then, I I can't go through with it.
We should take you to a doctor at some point, too.
What? Why? My mum took me before I had sex, just to, like, talk about options.
Your mum took you? Ugh, I wish my mum would take me.
My mum was so religious.
Everything about sex was just like, if a man or a boy came anywhere near me, had any interaction, she'd be like, "All they want is sex and sex is bad.
" And that's it, that's all I knew.
That was it.
- Oh, no! - Yeah, yep.
Roxy, sex is like the most fun, natural thing! Like, don't worry.
It's just Just go with your feelings, and just, you know, listen to what your body's telling you.
Oh, my God, Julia.
That's it! Go on the date with Carl.
Don't, it'll be fine.
Don't even listen to us.
[LAUGHS.]
Just by the way, Julia, it's really not normal for a mother to take her barely 13-year-old daughter to the doctor for contraception chats.
Did Genevieve take you to a doctor? Oh, yeah, she would have if I'd had any interest, but it was all Julia talked about.
Just like boys, boys, obsessed, sex, sex, blah! Hi? Hi.
Hey, are you OK? Um, yeah, just Keep talking about her.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Julia, get your phone.
[RINGS.]
It's a bit hot.
Thank you.
It's lovely.
Thank you.
Where were you? In your room.
Um, I just went in there.
I didn't see you there.
I was in there.
You did a fart.
[GIGGLES.]
- I was in there.
- [LAUGHS.]
You guys, you look really alike.
I can't see that at all.
Sorry, Edie's just had a really, really huge day.
Do you want I'll go out the back for a bit.
Oh, only if you want to.
- Yeah.
- Only Julia! The light bulb's blown out there.
It's actually quite dark.
OK, um, I'll get some - It's quite cold out there.
- OK.
And there's only one bar with the Wi-Fi, it's quite Oh, look, I'll, um, there's Hold on, I'll fix it.
There we go.
[SIGHS.]
Edie's got something to say to you.
Yeah.
You have a stranger living in your shed.
She needed somewhere to stay.
But there's still no DNA confirmation, right? Yeah, no, there's none.
Julia, it's just not your problem.
No, yep, it's not.
No.
Guys, what are you doing? We were just, um, discussing how you take on other people's problems a bit.
Mm-hmm, it means that you don't need to move forward in your own life.
Fuck off, Edie.
Oh, no, I mean, I No, no, no! I think it's I think it's lovely, and I definitely go along with things out of laziness sometimes, um Thanks, Roxy, well drawn-out argument.
Nice coaching, Edes.
Truth is hard.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
I'll get it.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I tried calling, but Edie slept with a woman.
Um, she's here.
Oh.
Hi, Edie.
Hi, Tim.
Do you love her? I don't think so.
But I really don't know.
- Do you want to come in? - Do you enjoy sleeping with her, more than me? I need you to promise me something Julia.
I need you to promise me that you're never gonna sleep with Tim again ever.
I know I have absolutely no right to ask that, but I am asking.
OK, Edie.
Goodnight! I'm gonna go.
OK, goodnight.
I was outta love and out of my heart I couldn't quite stop something that I didn't start Yeah, yeah, the critics said no I didn't know how it came so I couldn't go Oh oh oh oh oh You know I looked around for faces I'd know Did you ever suspect that she was into girls when she was growing up? Um I'm pretty bad with that sort of thing.
I was with this guy for five years and I had no idea that he was into men, none.
I mean, I loved that guy.
He was a really great guy.
You know, she wouldn't answer me when I asked her if she was in love with her.
Well, that's because she's in lust.
- How can you be so sure? - 'Cause she's boring.
I mean, this is the most interesting thing that she has done her entire life.
And please, for me, it will break my heart if it stopped now.
Just let her be a fuck-up just for a little bit longer.
How long would you like me I'm not joking, I'm not joking.
Hi.
We weren't talking about you.
Well, well, we were talking about you, but oh, honey.

So, how was your day? Yeah, not bad.

A few times.
OK, is that what Edie's yesterday [GASPS.]

- What? - Well, it was too easy.
You should lock them up.

Well, you are, so you should get a better lock.
