Riviera (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript

Constantine is gone

and he's not coming back.

It's Cassie.

Where is Georgina?

Look, I'm very attracted to you too.

Georgina thinks I'm dead?

Well the only place
you have left to hide

is me.

Ada told me about Adam.

I saw what he did to you.

You've not been in touch with
him at all since it happened?



No, I haven't heard from him.

I've decided that you can have

the fort for your paintings.

Thanks and ever thanks.

I'm sorry, would you
excuse me for a second?

My father died.

I didn't think it was
gonna feel like this.

Well, actually your mother has

forbidden me from seeing you so...

Get out!

Jakob Negrescu.

- You're under arrest.
- Yeah?

Georgina told me she
lost her dad years ago!

You didn't have to join me, you know.



Nonsense, we're family.

Yeah, of course.

To your dad.

To Kurt.

Mum?

Mum!

It should be under the
name Cleo's, Georgina.

Here we are. Our family room
at fifty-nine dollars a night.

Breakfast isn't included but there

is a vending machine out back.

- Sorry.
- Don't be.

It'll be an adventure.

Well maybe we can go
and get something to eat.

Yeah, I'm sure you get some

pretzels from the vending machine.

I have to take care of
the funeral arrangements.

- Do you want us to come with you?
- No no it's fine.

You guys have both done so much already.

I need to go somewhere.

Could you do the unpacking.

Oh, sure. Yeah.

I'll see you later.

I love you so much.

♪ How much I love you. ♪

♪ Please don't take my sunshine away. ♪

♪ The other night dear,
when I lay sleeping. ♪

♪ I dreamed I held you in my arms. ♪

♪ When I awoke dear I was mistaken. ♪

♪ And I hung my head down and cried. ♪

♪ You are my sunshine
my only sunshine. ♪

♪ You make me happy
when skies are grey. ♪

♪ You'll never know dear
how much I love you. ♪

♪ Sunshine away. ♪

Was there anything else Mrs. Clios?

The flowers are arriving
tomorrow morning.

Then I think we have everything we need.

Mrs. Clios?

Your father is currently lying
in rest in our viewing room.

I hadn't really thought.

Most people liked to take a
moment with their loved ones.

If you care to follow me.

Take as long as you need.

Hey.

Hey. I made your favorite

blueberries are maple syrup.

He always was a man of few words.

He look so small.

Death does that to you.

Should we say something?

He's not here.

Not anymore.

I didn't think you got my message.

Well, I wasn't about to let
you do this on your own.

I did try and visit.

Yeah, I know you did.

When was the last time you saw him.

Couple months ago.

Did he ask about me?

He was up to his
eyeballs on painkillers.

What do you say we get out of here

and I drop you back at your motel?

I'd sooner have a drink.

That's why you're my favorite niece.

I'm your only niece, Jeff.

This is the address of

Adam's apartment in Manhattan.

I spoke to the concierge
but they haven't seen him.

I'll get one of my
colleagues to check it out.

Do you have his cell phone?

The last message is
from three weeks ago.

Georgina asked Adam to meet
her at the Villefranche Harbour.

But you think she knows
more than she's letting on?

According to my daughter,

Adam had a somewhat

unhealthy fascination
with his stepmother.

How did this manifest itself?

He may have been rather forceful

in his advances.

I assume this is why you haven't

contacted the police
about his disappearance.

My family has a rather

chequered relationship
with the authorities.

I've asked one of my colleagues in Nice

to run a check on his accounts.

You'll also be able to
tell us if he's made

any attempts to leave the country.

If I've learnt anything
these past few weeks,

it's how little I know my son.

Rest assured Mrs. Clios.

If your son is out there,

we will find him.

When's the last time you saw each other.

Probably two or three years.

Five actually.

Ok, who's counting?

She knows that I keep her
right here all the time.

I kinda get it why your
Dad loved this place.

Yeah. He practically moved
in after my mom left.

Where'd she go.

She moved to Vermont.

My sister had emotional issues.

Sorry I'm late.

My driver had a little
trouble finding this place.

You must be Jeff.

I've been very much looking
forward to meeting you.

Likewise.

Drinks

How lovely.

Yeah. So this is what we
call double fisting, Irene.

It's Irina.

You must have no end
of stories about Georgina.

Yes, sorry, if she
sure seems a little...

We just came from seeing Kurt.

Of course. I understand completely.

I mean to lose your
father once as a shock.

But twice...

How you mean?

Georgina tome she lost
her dad years ago.

You don't seem surprised.

Well, she's a tough cookie.

Sometimes you gotta
pull down the shutters.

There's a great tune.

How are you doing? Are you alright?

I just want all this to be over.

I do know the lyrics.

♪ Jessie's got himself a girl
that I wanna make her mine. ♪

You Europeans sure know how to drink.

So how did you and Georgina
end up living together.

It was right after her
dad was sent to prison.

Prison?

Yeah, let's just say that Kurt had a

unorthodox way of paying the bills.

You wanna keep your
eye on this one, Marj.

She's been giving me the third degree.

Oh, yeah? What do you want to know?

That my dad's only marketable skill was

using his daughter to
help steal from people?

That when I stopped playing
along he refuse to speak to me?

Or that he spent his last
days in a prison cell

and you wonder why
I told him he was dead.

You guys need anything
else, I'll be outside.

Cassandra Eltham.

These are for Georgina.

Oh, she's still in New York.

Yes, I know.

She'll have something cheerful

waiting for her when she returns.

Would you point me in
the direction of her room?

Oh, I can thank those upstairs for you.

It's no trouble.

Just follows the stairs.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I know you guys are just
trying to be supportive.

No. Don't worry.

You've been through a lot
these past few weeks.

See you later.

Bye.

I just wanted to say that,

despite his faults your
dad loved you very much.

He was a good man. He just...

Lost his way, that's all.

Come on, don't let him

a few stupid decisions spoil the

memories that you two had.

Okay?

Look you must be beat.

Why don't you go get some shut eye?

Because I'm afraid if I fall asleep

I'm gonna have that dream again.

What dream?

Mom is lying in some ravine.

And she opens her eyes and looks at me.

Dreams don't mean shit.

Yeah, but why that?

Why is that the only thing I
can see when I think of her?

Look, all you need to worry about

is getting through tomorrow.

Actually, can you take the next left?

What are you doing?

You didn't think I was going
to sleep on this, did you?

It's probably infested.

What?

You didn't hear me complaining did you?

Of course not, you were too
busy interrogating Georgina.

She's hiding something. I know it.

Are you still rambling on
about that stupid text message?

So you think that Georgina would

tell us if she knew where Adam was?

No. You know why.

You have a go at her for keeping secrets

and you can't even tell me the truth.

The truth about what?

My dad?

Take those away before I eat them all.

You're frowning again.

You're going to get lines.

Is Negrescu my dad?

Yes.

But you are Constantine Clios daughter.

Maybe not by blood

but you have his heart.

And I'll be damned if
I let anyone break it.

I'll never understand why she left us.

Your mom and dad

had a difficult relationship.

But I was a kid.

You know something I've
learned after all these years?

Nothing good ever comes
from dragging up the past.

My father and I

both loved Walt Whitman,

so I'd like to read
this poem in his honor.

"At the last, tenderly.

"From the walls of the
powerful fortress house.

"From the clasp of the knitted locks.

"From the keep of the well closed doors.

"Let me be wafted.

"Let me glide noiselessly forth.

"With the key of softness..."

When I was nine years old,

I asked Santa Claus for
a Cabbage Patch Kid.

And I got the complete works
of Walt Whitman instead.

That was the thing about my dad. He...

Always wanted me to better myself.

He would take me to the
city on the weekends

to the Met and the Guggenheim.

And he would stand there

patiently for hours while I
looked at these paintings in awe.

And he never complained.

Because that was the
kind of man that he was.

I would like to think that

he just wanted to do
right by me and my mom.

That's the man that I've
come here to remember.

Everything else. Well...

Doesn't matter now.

Thank you both so much for coming.

We'll send the plane back
for you in a few days.

Well, Irene.

- It's been emotional.
- Hasn't it just.

Maybe next time I can meet your boys?

Right, Marj. Let's go
sort out the house.

Why do you call her that?

Oh, Marjorie is Georgina's middle name.

Will you please thank Christos
for the beautiful flowers?

Yeah.

And tell him if his horse
comes in I want my cunt.

Try not to look so scared.

Listen, one kick is all it takes.

OK, no pressure but
if you don't win this,

we're both dog food.

I don't think he can hear you.

Yeah, he can. Just win
this for Adriana, please.

- All right?
- And you.

Yeah, yeah, good.

Carlotta's Ghost is on top form.
We can win this, sir.

Friend of yours?

Works for me actually.

- You mean...
- Jabberwock. Two to one favorite.

May the best source win.

Yeah.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Just do your best and we'll do this!

- Yeah, yeah!
- We're gonna win.

- You have the best one.
- Yes, yes, yes. Yep.

You didn't you tell me
you bought Jabberwock?

I don't like walking away empty handed

so I made a private
approach to the stable.

So you deliberately undermine me? Ok.

That depends how you want to look at it.

I can't watch this.

Where the fuck is he?

You need a drink.

No, I'm fine.

Just take the bloody drink, will you?

I told you. I'm in recovery.

You know what, actually I
don't think I should be here.

Sorry, excuse me. Sorry

Come on!

Good race!

Yeah, great race.

And like you said, the
er best horse won so...

So I can help you, you know.

What, you're gonna
invest in the stud farm?

I'm talking about the bank.

They want to rid themselves
of dirty money, right?

So let me invest.

Why would you do that?

Because I think you have
what it takes to turn it around.

No, no, what's in it for you?

Ten per cent of the voting shares.

No.

No, that would cost my
family its majority share.

It's either that or
lose the bank. So,...

The choice is yours.

- You have to eat something.
- I'm not hungry.

I thought we had put
all that nonsense to bed?

I just wanna know who I am.

You are your own person, Ada.

Don't ever let a man define you, not

a boyfriend, not a
husband, not a father.

Certainly not him.

He's not important.

He is to me.

Just after Constantine
and I got divorced,

Negrescu took me for dinner.

That's until he was
called away on business.

I found out later

his business was
slitting a man's throat.

I got letters from him.

He wants me to come visit him in prison.

The man is a butcher.

Stay away from him for all our sakes.

I got this from the
prison a few days ago.

What's he got to say?

That I shouldn't blame myself.

What is he talking about?

He wasn't well.

Who knows what was
going through his head?

Is he talking about Mom?

You know what we ought to do?

Let's get some doughnuts.

We could use the sugar.

I know this place up
here, it's fantastic.

Am I the reason that
she went to Vermont?

- Well, just... let just...
- Jeff?

Am I the reason that
she went to Vermont?

Stop the car?

- Stop the car?
- Jesus!

Was it my fault?

Course not.

Then why did she just walk out?

Why leave without saying goodbye?

Oh my God.

It was me, wasn't it?

I drove her away.

Georgina, wait, where are you going?

Wait!

You were a kid for Christ's sake.

Your mom was sick.

She, she was in and out
of institutions her whole life.

I didn't know...

What happened?

She took her own life.

So that story

about the car accident in Vermont...

Your Dad was always adamant

that you never know the truth.

Where did they find her?

You gotta know we were
always just trying to protect you.

Just tell me!

The falls.

Was I there?

No.

Then how did I see her?

That dream that I keep having.

... I, I saw her lying there!

You, you heard something.
You pieced it together.

Look, Georgina, you gotta know that

I wanted to tell you so many times...

Georgina, look please, come
on, I know this is hard but...

Where are you going?

It's been a long time
since I've held your hand.

It has to be at least thirty-five years.

It's hard not to look back

and think what might've been.

You left me, remember.

Only because my father
made the decision for me.

We were so young, we
didn't know what we wanted.

I knew what I wanted.

I wanted you, Constantine.

Cassie.

I just, I didn't know
how to fight my parents.

Oh, come on Cassie.

I was pregnant.

With Nico and Daphne.

What?

Why didn't you tell me?

My father wouldn't let me.

You should have told me.

Well would it have made
any difference if I had?

Yes, family means everything to me.

But you have to understand

I have children. I have Georgina.

They've already grieved for you.

They've said their goodbyes.

Things can never go back
to the way they were.

Georgina. How many
times have I told you?

Keep that damn dog on the porch.

- Why won't you help me?
- This isn't real!

No, I need you to help me.

We have to get her out.

What are you talking about,

- why aren't you helping me.
- I am helping you!

- You never help me!
- Put down the damn knife!

No, I have to get her
she's gonna kill us.

- Rose!
- Don't! You stay away from me!

- Rose!
- Stay away from me!

It's not real!

- What is wrong with you?
- Just give me the knife.

- No, no, no, no, no, no!
- Ok, ok, ok!

- Rose, just relax!
- I have to get her out of here!

- I have to get her out of here!
- Listen to me Rose!

Stop!

Stop!

Rose!

Rose!

Mom?

Get in the truck.

Now! Get in the truck!

Georgie!

Ok, you just, you keep
your eyes closed alright?

I'll be back for you as soon as I can.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Mom!

Dad?

Go to your room.

You stay there until I
tell you to come down.

Hey.

Hey, I made your favourite,

blueberries and maple syrup.

Your mother had to leave early.

She, she went to go stay
with a friend in Vermont.

I thought maybe we could go to museum.

There's just the two of us now Georgie.

D'you understand what I'm saying?

I love you so much.

Georgina?

Georgina?

He killed her.

What're you talking about?

Dad.

He killed

my mom.

I don't...

And I covered for him.

Where're you going?

I can't stay here.

So, what you just gonna
pull the pin and walk away?

Maybe you got it wrong.

No.

No, I know what I saw.

It's impossible!

The police found her at the falls.

He put her there, Jeff!

He lied to us.

He told that lie so many times,

he started to believe it himself.

He just left her there to die.

Why are you remembering all of this now?

I don't know.

Maybe it's being back here,
maybe it's this house!

I could hear them arguing
through that door.

I could've helped her.

She was my own mother and I did nothing.

It's not your fault.

Did you know?

What?

Did you know what he did to her?

Course I didn't!

What kind of person do you think I am?

Wouldn't be the first
time you've lied to me.

She was my fucking sister, Marj.

Do you think that...

Fuck this!

Jeff!

I'm sorry.

Is it any wonder I don't trust anyone?

I hope you don't include me in that.

You know I thought that
I was coming here for my Dad.

But I wasn't.

I was here for Mom.

You remind me so much of her sometimes.

She was a paranoid schizophrenic, Jeff.

I mean before she got sick, dumbass.

She'd be so proud of you.

She would?

Like you wouldn't believe.

I have some of her darkness too.

So do I.

Especially if I don't eat
something every three hours.

I get really dark.

How was it?

Well, you know, a funeral.

I'm off to bed.

What's so urgent that
it can't wait till tomorrow.

I have a business proposition for you.

- Ok?
- Yeah.

There's someone I want you to meet.

You're a very persuasive
man, Mr. Al-Qadar.

I can see why likes you.

Please call me Raafi.

You and your husband put

everything you had into that bank.

And I'd hate to see a few bad

decisions destroy your hard work.

His investment would secure

the liquidity of the bank.

In return for 10% of our voting share.

A small price to pay to
ensure its future prosperity.

Wouldn't you agree?

What you're forgetting, Raafi,

is that I am a trustee
for Adriana and Adam.

Why should I put their future
on the line for a man I know

virtually nothing about?

His portfolio, the investments...

Anyone can look impressive on paper.

Ok, well, I'm sorry
if I wasted your time.

No, no,

I wouldn't've brought Raafi here

if I didn't think he was
the right man for us.

And he is, he is the right man for us.

Welcome to Clios Bank, Mr. Al-Quadar.

Well, we should talk to

Georgina before we finalise anything.

Is that going to be a problem?

She knows a good deal
when she hears one.

Now if you'll excuse me.
I really have to go.

Course.

If you've got this wrong.
We're all fucked.

I'll be right back.

"Keep your face always
towards the sunshine."

"Because one day the shadows
will fall behind you."

"Love always.

"Your Pa."

Good evening, Mrs. Clios,

I wouldn't like to
speculate at this stage...

Do you wanna moment?

I'm sorry.
