Barons (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Dude, I really like what you
guys are doing down here.

There is not as much
money in it as you think.

But you and I could make money.

If you love someone, you

set them free.

She is sex on legs. Speaking of.

How's it going,
Mr Colston? Tania.

You knew how I got the cash
flow to start Bare Feet.

You knew what goes on in Bali.
What'd you think was happening

when Buddy showed
up? This is bullshit!

I've been watching young Dimma.



I've been thinking about
putting him in the film.

I'd love to take him to Indo.

Reg, is this normal? REG:
This is far from normal.

Just keep your head down.

Look at this face. Who's
gonna stop this face?

You don't know what
you're saying, Dim.

Let's go.

You said two boards. And
yet there were three.

Snap!

Just keep walking.

I'm gonna kill
ya!

A requirement of all visitors
today to check in at the front desk

and have their bags checked
and approved on entry.

Film's almost done.



Mm.

Sharpie reckons it looks a
bit straight, but he's, uh

been tripping a shitload
of the green, so

watch this space.

He is talking to you then?

No.

No, he's not.

You're in it, though.

Dead set?

Yeah, the whole Indo sequence.

Apparently.

It's mostly you and,
uh... mostly you and Bud.

So...

The cops been back?

I just told them I don't know
the guys who gave me the stuff,

just met them on the beach.

They bought it.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's fair.

It's good.

We're all missing Win.

Not what she says about you.

Hm.

Yeah, I'm sorry she quit.

She reckons if she stayed
in that town any longer

she would've killed you.

OK.

Um...

You keep your nose clean,

and I'll... I'll see you soon.

OK?

Trace. Nope.

Hey.

Brought you some fruit.

Ooh, it's looking good.

Who's it for?

Special commission.

For Dimma.

Snap been?

Not my problem anymore.

Hey, hey.

Do you want a drink?

A smoke?

Uh... No, I was thinking of,
um... getting an early night.

Going for a surf tomorrow.

You wanna come with me?

Nah, I'm good.

Well, is that the
best you can do for me?

Well, who else buys this
amount of Velcro every month?

No way.

Well, come down on the weekend.

Yeah, mornings
have been perfect.

Yeah, you can just
camp out the back here.

OK. I'm done.

Great.

No more excuses. It's about
time you got back in the water.

Like a lazy seal.

OK. Alright, bye.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no. No more calls.

Hey, where are you going?

Nowhere, just a little party.

Great.

It's at Bare Feet.

Sorry!

Traitor!

I wouldn't.

He's an amazing surfer
and off the drugs for now,

but all that partying's
left him a bit...

Beer?

Mm-hm.

So, that's it, your
folks have really cut you off?

Well, I have an idea.

Trot.

Trot!

What? Oh!

Yeah?

Trotter!

Who's this? Who do
you think it is?

What, did I wake you?

Sorry. Buddy thought he'd
figured out the time difference.

Oh, man, did I get it wrong?!

It's all good, mate. What's
up? Is everything OK?

Listen, Trot, we'd like
to make you an offer.

Buddy and I would like to buy the
licence to sell Light wave in the US.

Yeah?

Think about how awesome
it would be, Trot!

The fact is we know this market.

We're confident we could secure
much broader distribution,

reach out to locals we already
have a relationship with.

We give you 10% royalties
on everything we sell.

Have you got the money
for this, Newport?

I'm talking US Dollars, Trot.

Lots of 'em.

Let me sleep on it, eh?

Yeah, that's all we ask.

Right, no worries.

What was that all about?

America.

Good morning.

You're out early.
Yeah, couldn't sleep.

I'm, uh... thinking
about taking a trip.

An adventure?

Where in the world is
Trotter off to now?

Morocco? South America?

California, actually.

Oh, are you catching
up with the guys?

Yeah, they wanna give
Light wave a go in the US.

You'd give them your baby?

Nah, just the licence.

Hunter's got a
good head on his shoulders,

but Buddy... I don't
know. Yeah, I know.

But... you know, people
love him, he rips.

I've been trying to get him to
do a campaign for us for months.

And now they want to steal
your idea for themselves, huh?

Do you think?

What do I know?

Hey, maybe you'll
become a millionaire

and never have to leave home.

Isn't that the dream?

Passport.

Ticket.

Ah, shit, don't
tell me I forgot.

Thanks.

Let me know if there's
anything else you need.

You alright? Fine.

Don't say 'fine'.

What? I am fine.

You're saying 'fine' like women
say when they're NOT fine.

Oh, so now it's about women
collectively as an issue, is it?

This is you and me. Talk to me.

Did you even think once
about asking me to come?

Trace. We started this
business together.

How come you're the
one going to America?

It's not like that.

And you're gonna
miss my birthday.

And I am so sorry about that,

but we really can't afford
two international airfares.

So, how come I'm
working two jobs?

Well... if you don't wanna
work two jobs, quit one.

Ha!

You're happy for
me to quit school?

Great.

That place is doing
my head in, you know?

Even though it feels like
I'm the only person in there

who gives a shit about the kids,

I could quit tomorrow.

So soon?

Trot.

Look, I know you're over it,

but, you quit now,

that's even more reason we can't
afford two international flights.

You serious?

Trace!

Have a safe trip, Trot.

Hey, come on. Trace!

Really?!

Turn on and tune in, mate!

Hand it over.

Can we get it back
after class? No.

But, Miss! Ask me again, Choc.

I double-dare you.

Ooh!

Just go
back to your work, OK?

Tania Sanderson, my
office, immediately.

Ooh!

What's going on, Mr Colston?

That's for Miss Sanderson and I
to discuss, actually, Mrs Dwyer,

thank you.

I believe she's well aware of
the issue at hand. Come on.

So, Wizard,
can you help me out?

I don't know, man.

You know, I've tried to
leave that scene behind.

Yeah.

Yeah, course. Mm.

And I'm not suggesting

that you'll need to get
involved or anything,

um... it's just

if you... if you knew
anybody from back in the day

that might be, uh... keen.

There's a guy. In Sydney.

If he's still around.

Great.

Yeah.

That's a dark space,
though, Snapper.

He casts a toxic shadow.

Well, it's good stuff.

Like, well, actually
I got it from...

Oh, I don't wanna hear it, man.

You carry your shit

I'll carry mine.

So, you will hook me up?

I'll get you a name.

You've
improved, Newbie.

Ah, the waves
are kinder here.

Ah, well,
practice makes perfect.

I never said perfect.

I miss how Australians
give you shit

to show you how much
they really care.

I tell you what, Trot... why don't
you and I go and grab some beers

and, uh... go take a look over
these, uh... licence numbers?

Yeah, about that. Um...

Look, I don't want you guys
to take this the wrong way,

but I was thinking,
while I'm here,

I might go see a
few people myself.

What do you mean?

Well... you know I
love you guys, but

I can't just give
Light wave to you.

No, obviously we'd pay for it.

No, I know what the deal is,

but I was thinking, since I'm here,
why don't I give it a go myself?

Yeah, sure, that makes sense.

Go for it, man.

Can I borrow your car?

O-m-m-m-m-m.

Namaste.

Hi.

Jules. From the party.

Hey.

So, how long you
been doing yoga?

On and off for a
few years, I guess.

Help with your surfing?

Yeah, it's a trip.

I mean, most activity
connected to the body

affects what happens
in the water.

That's why I don't
engage in intercourse.

Sorry... what?

You need to maintain an
opening to kundalini awakening.

Keeping the mula band
ha as a sacred space

connects me more deeply
to Lir, the sea god.

You dig it?

Oh, absolutely.

It's like a ray
of light, you see?

How the colours refract
through the wave?

Yeah, my wife came up with that.

I'm Bill Dwyer. I'm here
representing Light wave board shorts.

We've got a factory
right on the beach.

These guys are being made
out of a little surf town

in Australia called Woogonga.

Oh, it's the best pair of
board shorts you'll ever wear.

Say it again?

Board shorts. Again.

Board shorts.

They're quick-drying,
perfect length,

designed by surfers for surfers.

Not bad.

Kids are going crazy for
them back in Australia.

So... do we have a deal?

Congratulations,
man. Bravo, man.

Cheers. Cheers. You
really killed them, huh?

Mm.

Thank you. Thank you.
I mean, clean sweep.

Eastern Sun, The Wave, Surf and
Vibes, they all want a piece.

That's really great!

I might call Trace,
give her the good news.

Should we tell him?

Nah, man, there's no rush.

Come on, babe.

Alright, see you
tomorrow! STUDENT: See ya.

See you!

Jesus Christ.

Hey!

Hey, man!

Who the fuck do
you think you are?!

Whoa, hey, sorry, I didn't...

Sorry. Ohh! Jeez!

You sold to me and then every
other store on the strip?

Hey, Fox! Fox! Come
on, man, be cool!

Who the hell

do you think you are, you
clown? Trotter, just...

Trotter, don't push it, OK?

Don't come near my shop again!

Guys on the Cali scene,
they don't mess around.

It's a dog-eat-dog town.

Oh, and they don't really
dig strangers on their turf.

Yeah, but they all closed deals.

Right, and they thought that
you were just selling to them.

Dude, you see the
way we name beaches?

One block on is a
totally different crew.

I mean, once you get
in good with one shop,

kinda eliminates you
from all the rest.

It's very tribal.

Tribal?

And you two knew all
along, didn't you?

Arseholes.

Ooh, that'll be
about my audition.

Hey, good luck!

Our offer still stands.

Is this more
California mafia shit?

Am I gonna end up
buried in the desert?

Well, only if you ask nicely.

Let us take over the US
licence of Light wave,

save yourself the headache.

No of fence, but I really don't
see Buddy as a businessman.

None taken.

And as for you, Newbie,
mm, I don't know.

Not salty by nature.

You give us this chance.

I have no doubt we can
make this happen for you.

You just hung me out to dry,

so why would I trust
anything you say?

Is that a no?

Dude

do you even know how
close we are to Mexico?

All these bad vibes

can't start anything
like this, huh?

You know what we need?

Road trip.

They gave the part
to Nancy Lopez.

Again.

Oh, babe!

Hey, I'm so sorry.

Oh.

They gave me the
friend part instead.

Wait, the waitress?!

Oh! That's bad ass!

You think? Yeah! That's
so much better! Oh!

Eh! Eh. You can't say no now.

The universe, it's
on a roll, baby! Huh?

Road trip! Road
trip! Road trip! Road trip!

Oh, my God! My little star!

Oh, yeah!

Hey, gook! Maybe
he didn't hear you.

Chink!

Enter!

Ah! Ha. Mrs Dwyer.

Mr Lockwood.

Take a seat.

Now, I think it's important

that we all agree to discuss
the issue at hand as adults.

Yep.

Mr Colston, if
you'd like to begin?

Yeah. Uh... Look, I guess, um

best guess is that she's got some
kind of schoolgirl crush, you know?

It's not the first time, certainly
not the last time it's gonna happen.

It doesn't mean you have
to actively encourage her.

Pulled her aside, had a little
chat, that's it. Set her straight.

Fred, I can't be
held responsible

for some silly little
teenage fantasy.

Hm.

Does this fantasy involve
your dick in her mouth?

Oh, that's... Mrs
Dwyer, language, please.

This is a place of
learning. Exactly.

Which is why I
like to draw a line

on young women being removed from
my classroom and taken advantage of.

I think it's a bit ripe,
risking my reputation

on the sort of girl who's been
around the block a couple of times.

I saw you, Ricky.

Honestly, I've got no idea why
you would make this story up!

I've no idea. I thought
we were professionals.

Mr Lockwood... Yeah,
alright, Mrs Dwyer.

I think you've made your
vehemence quite clear.

Now, I appreciate you both
giving your time today

and I can assure you that
this unfortunate matter

will be dealt with immediately.

Thank you.

Sorry!

You are kidding me!

Come on!

Hey, you remember
last time, Hunter?

Oh, yeah, all
too well.

What happened last
time? Oh, we can't talk about it.

Yeah, we should go there.

Let's go create
our own memories.

Can you hold that
for me? Thank you.

Hey, Trot, chuck us
the map. Glove box.

Whoa!

Come on, man,

we're going to Mexico.

Let's go!

Ooh!

So, is Trot still in America?

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm. Yeah.

I always wanted to go to
the Grand Canyon.

Is he anywhere near there?

Actually,
he's in La gun a Beach.

The Grand Canyon is in Arizona.

It's about 600 miles away.

Oh, right.

Bigger than you think,
isn't it? It is.

I will have a red
wine, please, Barry.

Tracy? I'm OK.

One red wine coming up.

So

It must be tough for
you with Trotter away.

I don't know.

Less dirty things to pick
up off the floor, I guess.

No, men only think
of themselves.

There you go. Thanks.

Sharpie just smokes
weed and edits his film

over and over again
and all night, all day.

And every time I see
Dimma in the footage,

after everything that
happened, it's... it's

it's heartbreaking.

My brother being in that film

is one of the things
keeping him alive right now.

We're grateful.

So, how is Trotter going?

I've hardly heard.

Says he can't work out
the time difference.

Oh, so he's smart enough to
start Light wave US for himself,

but can't figure out how
to use a payphone?

It's just the licence, actually.

Oh.

I must've misunderstood him.

Yeah.

You know Trot

always making things out
to be bigger than they are.

Visiting hours are 3:00 to
4:00 Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you need to arrange an
appointment outside that time

please contact the
guards at reception.

Jesus, mate.

Yeah.

I don't smoke.

Think of them more as,
uh... dollar bills.

Ah.

I saw Tracy.

I think she's worried
about you getting scurvy.

How're you goin'?

I've been better.

It'll be over soon.

Will it?

What if I don't get off?

Well, then you do the time

and you keep your head down.

There's no point being a hero.

One thing I know

you can't do this solo.

Make some friends, but
not the white kids,

they're never gonna be on
your side, do you hear me?

Mm-hm.

Hey.

Not in here, mate.

You've gotta keep
that shit inside.

Alright, Reg?

What have you done?!

Hey! What the hell?!
What the hell?!

Tania.

G'day, Mrs Dwyer.

How are things? Yeah, good.

You weren't in class yesterday.
Had to see the headmaster.

I heard there was some
trouble with Mr Colston?

Who's been talking?

No-one.

It's just between us.

You know you won't get in trouble
for telling the truth, right?

There's nothing to tell.

You don't owe Mr
Colston anything.

Mr Colston is just a friend.

I mean... not like a friend. I guess
I sorta had a crush on him for a bit.

But it was all just
in my head, you know?

Is that what you
told Mr Lockwood?

Yep.

And what did he say? That
the matter was closed.

Tania, you're a bright girl.

You can do anything you want.

I know, that's why
I'm leaving school.

I can get more shifts here.

If that's what YOU want.

It's better to save up
and get a car, isn't it?

Or a holiday or something?

School's a waste of time.

Vamos! Hey!

Uno, dos, tres.

Salud!

Whoo! Oh, shit!

Whoo!

What's up? What's wrong?
Tracy's... birthday.

Oh. Forgot to call her!

Oh. No,
don't fuckin' laugh.

Do you have a phone I
could use? Tres pesos.

I need to make a call.

Telephone? Telephone?

Thank you.

Hola, chica!

Hello, sirs. Having fun?

Do you boys like to party?

Yeah, we do.

Uh-oh.

Si.

Gracias.

Si, chica, gracias.

Hey, have some fun,
OK? It's Mexico.

What?

Sit down.

Uh...

This isn't the number I
discussed with Xander.

You want the money, we
need the product, yeah?

Well, you can see yourself out.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Careful of needles.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Starting early, Miss?

Something like that. Don't
drink it all yourself.

It's money.

For you. Not for that business.

Thanks, Dad.

So, uh... where is he, anyway?
Doesn't he know it's your birthday?

My husband is
overseas on business.

Trot's in the US finalising a
very big deal for Light wave.

Reckon that's a very good reason
to miss my birthday dinner.

You know, yeah?
I do, I do.

Oh. Uh...

I'm... I'm sorry, I'm taken.

I'm married.

Not available.

Not... Not available.

Hey, how long's he gonna
be? I'm only human, man.

I'm gonna go check on him.

Uh... Tell him to hurry up.

No, sorry. Married.

Hola, gato.

Buddy!

Come on, man, let's
wrap it up!

Buddy.

Buddy!

No, no, no, no, no!

No. Oh, my God, wake up.

No, don't
fuckin' do this!

No, come on, wake up!

Wake up. Wake up.

That's it! I'm here,
I'm here, I'm here!

Hey, man. What's up?
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Hey! Listen to me, you
get it together right now.

Right now. Listen to me, OK?

Que pedo?!

I can explain. I know how
it looks

But... but...

Everybody calm down!

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Carlito!

Carlito! Calm down! Hey!

Calm ate!

Hey, hey. Hey! Carlito!

You listen to my
friend here, man!

Yeah, he WAS
listening! Put that thing away!

Carlito! Carlito! Put it away!

Carlito!

Oh, oh, oh!

No. No. Relax!

Everybody, calm down!

Just relax!

Relax!

Yeah.

OK, alright. We're
leaving, we're leaving.

Gringos!

Oh, my God!

Holy shit, I wonder
what he's dreaming of?

Hey, you alive back there, Bud?!

Oh, mate!

See, Newbie

that's why I love you.

You got balls of
bloody steel

Cool under pressure.

Cool under pressure.

You know, that's exactly what I was
looking for in a business partner.

You're salty, mate.

You're as salty as they come!

We're on!

You mean it?! We're on?!

Oh, baby, I mean
it. We're bloody on!

We are on, baby!

Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Now

eat the bloody worm, partner!

Thanks, Dad. Of course.

I don't know why he
feels he's welcome here.

It's a small town. There's
nowhere else to eat.

Are you defending
him too? No, Dad.

I don't know why you
stay in this place.

OK.

Happy birthday, Tracy.

Thank you for this.

It was nice to see you, Dad.

Scum!

Where are all your mates?

I could say the same to you.

It's my birthday.

I know.

That's half-full.

I'm sorry you're having
such a shit night.

Not as shit as my brother's.

You enjoy making enemies, Snap?

I certainly seem to be
getting some practice at it.

Well, you should learn to
not shit in your own nest.

It's Trotter that
started that one.

Oh, my gosh.

You two stole all of my contacts

and you went into
business without me.

And YOU used the money I
gave you to marry that prick.

He's not a prick.

He's acting like one.

That makes two of you.

How would you like me to act?

YOU dumped ME, remember?

Because you were fucking
around the whole time.

So, Trotter's the
next best bet, is he?

Get over it, Snap.

Trotter had the balls to
ask me out, and I liked him.

Liked him so much I married him.

What about Dimma?

He's a good kid.

He was,

until you took him on
one of your Bali runs.

He had shit luck, that's all.

Did you know he was
carrying the drugs?

He's falling apart in there.

His life's ruined. I didn't
know he was carrying.

Oh, Snapper.

Sure.

Whatever gets you
through the night.

I didn't think
it'd be like this.

Like what?

All of it.

Yes?

Uh... I just wanted to say that

you were right.

About what?

I fucked up.

Everything.

Uh...

But especially with Dim.

I never should've taken him.

He looked up to you.

I know.

And I'm gonna make it up to him.

I promise.

You can try.

Can I come in?

'Night, Snapper.

Happy birthday.

Hey, Miss?

Well, Hunter knows
the scene over there,

so better him taking our stuff
and speaking their language

while we are building Australia.

And Buddy?

Buddy'll be the face.

Turns out no-one's that
interested in this one.

Look... I know it didn't
happen the way I said it would,

but it's going to, OK?

I got a feel for it, we
know what we're doing,

and that includes you.

I haven't forgiven you for
not calling me on my birthday.

You want me to
describe the vomit

on that Mexican phone
again? Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm!

I know you made that up,
Trot, because you know me.

I didn't even ask. Um...
How was your night?

What did you do? Who'd you see?

Just Dad. Nothing special.

Yeah? Mm.

We're gonna be rich.

I told you.

Yeah, I'm running a school
here, not a halfway house.

Dimma, stop!

Was I the last guy
you had sex with?

Will you marry me?

It's my engagement party!

Boom!

I got an audition
with Joseph DeLuca.

Warren wants her in the picture.

Hey, Bud.

What's your PhD?

Feminist separatism and
institutional misogyny.

Eh?

You owe me a US licence fee.

We're in the middle of an important
meeting about this right now.

We're expanding the
business. Into what?

I have missed you, Trot.
