Upright (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Day Seven - full transcript
Shh... Can you hear that?
Come on! I'm taking you to your mum's.
What the fuck does this mean?
SUZIE: Jen's in a coma. She was
asking for you before she went under.
MEG: Would you be able to give
my dad and me a lift to Perth?
ESME: Yeah, I don't think so.
- LUCKY: Did you steal a car?
- MEG: If you want to get to Perth, get in!
Well you're a fucking dead man!
LUCKY: Stop!
MEG: Lucky, your mum - she's awake!
Woah!
Meg.
Oi, Meg. You dead?
[YAWNS]
You drove all night.
So.
What's the address?
I don't know.
What?
Yeah, I had it-I had
it on a bit of paper,
but I must've left it in Matty's Ute.
Well, you must...
- Do you know the name of the area?
- Yeah, it's near a footy club.
Okay.
That's good.
Like, here?
Yeah, Bookham Street.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Alright! 14 minutes.
Let's go see your mum!
[WHISPERS] Yeah...
You nervous?
What are you gonna tell
her happened to your arm?
Maybe I'll say the camel
did it! Err, just... right.
See, that is why camels shouldn't
be allowed to play netball.
- MEG: No! You've got a 6 hour drive!
- LUCKY: Just for a minute!
- Go see your mum.
- LUCKY: I'm just gonna say hi...
- I won't stay...
- Lucky! I just...
Wow!
[PHONE BUZZES IN CAR]
- [PHONE BUZZES IN CAR]
- LUCKY: So, when you get a phone,
I want you to text me, okay?
Seriously. I wanna
know how you're going.
Yeah, 'cos you're famously
excellent at texting back.
[SIGHS]
Text me.

Y'ello!
Hey but, my name's Andy. Umm...
I'm not sure if you can help me,
but I'm looking for my daughter, Meg.
Err... she said that she was
staying at some friends, but
they haven't seen her in over a week.
and the phone was under a pillow,
but I had this number,
right, in my phone,
- from when she last rang.
- Yeah, right
and... when she...
[BREAKS DOWN]
When she rang...
Sorry...
It's been an average
couple of weeks. Umm...
- Andy...
- See, I missed her calls, and...
- It's okay. Meg told me about... your son.
- You've seen her then?
Oh God. Thank God!
Yeah, she's not in any trouble,
I got her there safely.
Got her where?!
Thanks. I was busting.
FAKE MUM: No dramas, darl'!
You wanna go left on Meldrum
up here, follow it round,
left onto Miles, right onto Forrest,
station's about a k on your left.
Thanks!
Take care!
ANDY: W-wait wait wait
wait! Back up a bit!
- How do you know her?
- I just, umm...
I don't, really.
- But you drove her. To Kalgoorlie.
- Well, we drove each other, actually.
She said she wanted
to go stay with her...
Sorry, sorry... what?
Hello?
Are you still there?
Her mum's not in Kal, is she?
Mate, her mum pissed
off when she was a bub!
We haven't seen her in over 10 years!
- Where is she now?
- Don't worry!
- I'm gonna go find her, okay?
- What do you mean?
Where did you leave her?
She's okay, I promise.
I'll call you back.
Okay? I'll call you back!
Jesus Christ, Meg! You are
a fucked up little unit!
I want to get to Karingunna?
I can get you as far as...
Port Pirie. Hmm.
Err... $742.50.
- I have a student card?
- WOMAN: It's not a school bus, love!
Thank you!
You wanna go left on Meldrum,
left on Miles, right onto Forrest.
LUCKY: Thank you!
[UNDER BREATH] Come on, come on,
come on... Where are you, Meg?
[SCREECHING TYRES]
Meg!
Ahh! Shit!
No... you stupid idiot!
[POLICE SIRENS]
- Meg!
- What the hell, Lucky?
- Stay where you are, mate!
- LUCKY: I spoke to your dad,
and I told him I'd find you
and I went back to the house.
I couldn't just leave you wandering
around the streets of Kalgoorlie.
MEG: You idiot! You need to go
to your mum! She's going to die,
and you're not going to get to
say goodbye, and it's all my fault!
- No! I shouldn't have left you!
- MEG: I told you to!
I should've known!
I'm the grown-up, Meg!
- Ow! You're hurting my fingers!
- Shut up, mate!
- Just stay there, Meg!
- Lucky!
MEG: I did it! I stole the car! He
didn't do anything, it was all me!
I stole it!
[PANTING]
Can you just put out
an alert or something?
Her name's Meg, she's like 5', little...
skinny kid with a
furious look on her face.
Officer? Can I have my phone
at least? So I can ring her dad?
- COP: [INTERVIEWING]
- LUCKY: So he knows...
She's all on her own.
She's better off on her
own than with a car thief!
I'm not a fucking car thief!
Not a very smart one anyway. I
mean, who steals a car from Esme?
He stole a car from Esme??
Who's Esme?
[LAUGHS] He's got balls,
I'll give him that much!
- Why do I have balls?
- COP: Right, listen!
You have to just be quiet
for the next 5... Esme!
Er... you're here early!
It's not really protocol for
the victim to meet the... perp.
Hello, sweetheart.
H-hi.
Where's Haymaker?
- Who?
- ESME: So, they tell me,
there was a piano forte, of all things,
in my float where there
used to be a racehorse. Hmm?
So where is he? Where's my racehorse?
I don't know.
We lost him.
Let's get these off then, eh?
- You don't wish to pursue the matter?
- Err... no, no, I don't think so.
I think it's all just pretty clear.
It's all just been a little
bit of a misunderstanding.
- Thank you?
- ESME: Yer.
- And I am really sorry that we lost your...
- No.
No need. These things happen.
I mean, who amongst us hasn't lost
a large mammal once or twice, eh?
- LUCKY: [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
- Thank you, Constable.
Erm.
MEG: [PANTING]
- MEG: I stole it!
- Huh?
I stole the truck.
And the horse float.
- And the horse.
- COP: Oh.
You'd be Meg, then.
Okay, listen, Mr Flynn was driving.
He's the one that's culpable, so
I'd just keep my mouth shut. Okay?
- But where is he?
- MAN: Esme's got him.
OFFICER: Shut up! He's gone.
MEG: Gone where?
- MAN: You don't wanna know!
- Shut! Up!
MEG: Okay, please? He has
to get to Perth. Where is he?
Look, if you have nowhere to go,
I'll get you the number for Family
Services. They can come down,
maybe find you some...
[DOOR SHUTS]
Oh, for...
[SOUND OF PIANO PLAYING]
Hey!
Hey, that's my piano.
Not anymore, it's not. It's evidence.
Evidence of what?
- Come on. Bugger off.
- MEG: If you wreck that piano, I...
Fuck!
ESME: I got him at auction
for $900.
The others took the piss
out of me for bidding,
but I got there early, you understand?
and I saw them trying to get
that little bugger off that float,
and I saw his eyes.
He. Fucking. Hated 'em.
He hated everything. He was just
so fucking angry at the world.
I reckon,
he never forgave them for
chopping his balls off.
He has made me nearly 200
grand in the last 5 years.
You just had to hit the shit
out of him on that final bend.
[SUCKS ON VAPE]
[PHONE BUZZES]
Oh, sorry. Sorry.
I just have to get this. I'm
sorry, I'll just be a minute.
Yeah well, you can make that
phone call later my darlin',
if you're feeling up to it.
- This is Lucky Flynn, leave a message.
- [BEEP]
Fuck! Lucky, I wish you'd
pick up. I just, I really...
I'm sorry that I lied
about Mum. I just, I...
I thought if you knew
that I had nowhere to go,
and then when you said you were going
western Australia, it
just felt like it was,
it was far away enough. You know?
And after a while, I
started to believe it myself.
and it's a bit messed up, isn't it?
Anyway... [SNIFF]
Okay, going now. Bye!
I promise you, I am not
a person who steals cars.
Just, I'm trying to get
to Perth, to see my mum.
- ESME: Wow.
- LUCKY: Because... Well...
she's dying, actually.
Right, well, everyone's mum is dying.
The only people who
don't have dying mums,
are the ones whose
mums are already dead.
[HORSE RACE COMMENTARY ON TV]
Draft, thanks.
ALEX: Err, get us a jug
you stingy prick! [LAUGHS]
- MEG: Hey.
- KANE: Jug...
Is that your crane?
I drive it.
I need to borrow it.
ALEX: Something you're
not telling us, Kane?
Sperm bank been giving out your details?
Sure, no worries.
[LAUGHS]
Thanks.
Woah woah woah woah woah.
I was joking. You don't
just borrow a 32 ton crane.
- But I re...
- KANE: Get outta here. Jeez. Go on, piss off!
MEG: What if I beat
you in a game of pool?
ALEX: Woohoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
MEG: Come on! Scared I'll win?
ALEX: Aw, bro! Your new
daughter's awesome! [LAUGHS]
ESME: Do you why the
world is going to shit?
It's because everyone has
a reason for everything.
Now, philosophically, I get it.
It's not my fault I'm like me,
it's not your fault you're like you.
So, if you have some
terrible tale that explains
why you stole my vehicle,
and my racehorse,
then I am truly sorry for your
troubles. I am not lacking in empathy.
Irregardless, the reality is,
there still has to be consequences.
You need to take
responsibility for your mistake.
Fair's fair?
- LUCKY: I do...
- ESME: Fair's... fair... ?
... Start to get underway. The
late scratching of Haymaker...
No pressure, bro. We're not
judging your manhood or anything.
Yeah, yeah, shut up.
[RACING COMMENTARY IN BACKGROUND]
- [CHEERING]
- ALEX: Nice, nice, nice.
- [CHEERING]
- ALEX: Alright. Man's got some skill.
[CROWD JEERS AND LAUGHS]
ALEX: Unlucky, man.
KANE: Ah, nah nah.
That's my pocket.
What the fuck does that mean?
West Aussie rules, sis.
Yeah, you have to nominate a
pocket and and it can't be his.
Sucks ballsies.
[CROWD "OOH" S]
[CROWD GASPS]
- [CROWD CHEERS]
- ALEX: Oh, yeah! [LAUGHS]
ALEX: Oh, here we go.
[CROWD COMMISERATES]
ALEX: Unlucky, sis.
[CAR REVS ITS ENGINE]
So this used to be a two-up shed,
before online pokies killed everything.
So I started this.
I source the fighters.
I run the books.
I make a very nice margin
on beer and saussie rolls,
thank you very much.
But every now and then, you do
get a pretty good fight, but,
if I'm gonna be honest with you,
mostly they just wanna see blood. Sit.
What the hell did you
want to lift anyway?
Piano.
KANE: Piano?
Yep.
I used to play the piano.
[CROWD CHEERS]
Please... I will find
your horse. I promise.
- Or I-I-I can get you money...
- ESME: Hey, sweetheart, listen, all I need from you,
is to just stay on your feet
for a couple of rounds, okay?
- ESME: You give them something to bet on.
- Jesus Christ this is a fucking joke, right?
I can't fight!
- I'm just...
- ESME: You're not just anything, mate!
You are the useless piece of shit.
That stole my champion
racehorse, aren't ya?
Put this dickhead up against Bevan.
15 to 1.
[SHOUTS] Beautiful!
What's your name?
Lucky.
[LAUGHS]
Fuck! Me! Mwah! Mwah!
[SHOUTS] Beautiful!
KANE: So? Where do you want it?
- MEG: I dunno!
- KANE: Right.
- ***
- It's Lucky's, but he was in the lock-ups.
Someone took him. Someone called Esme?
I think?
What?
ESME: Oh, one more little thing.
I put $300 on you.
What?
'Cos I saw you in Cocklebiddy,
before you stole my vehicle,
Right, and I saw your anger,
and I can see it now,
just here,
just behind the fear.
Now, if you win,
Huh? What? Win?! I...
ESME: If you win,
I'll split it with ya. See? Fair's fair.
- But I...
- You go get 'em, tiger!
- LUCKY: Please...
- CROWD: Fight! Fight! Fight!
[CROWD CHEERS]
[CROWD CHEERS]
You gotta get your hands
up, son! Get your hands up!

I was joking. You don't
just borrow a 32 ton crane.
- But I re...
- KANE: Get outta here. Jeez. Go on, piss off!
MEG: What if I beat
you in a game of pool?
ALEX: Woohoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
MEG: Come on! Scared I'll win?
ALEX: Aw, bro! Your new
daughter's awesome! [LAUGHS]
ESME: Do you why the
world is going to shit?
It's because everyone has
a reason for everything.
Now, philosophically, I get it.
It's not my fault I'm like me,
it's not your fault you're like you.
So, if you have some
terrible tale that explains
why you stole my vehicle,
and my racehorse,
then I am truly sorry for your
troubles. I am not lacking in empathy.
Irregardless, the reality is,
there still has to be consequences.
You need to take
responsibility for your mistake.
Fair's fair?
- LUCKY: I do...
- ESME: Fair's... fair... ?
... Start to get underway. The
late scratching of Haymaker...
No pressure, bro. We're not
judging your manhood or anything.
Yeah, yeah, shut up.

KANE: Ah, nah nah.
That's my pocket.

Yeah, you have to nominate a

So this used to be a two-up shed,
before online pokies killed everything.
So I started this.
I source the fighters.
I run the books.
I make a very nice margin
on beer and saussie rolls,
thank you very much.
But every now and then, you do
get a pretty good fight, but,
if I'm gonna be honest with you,
mostly they just wanna see blood. Sit.
What the hell did you
want to lift anyway?
Piano.
KANE: Piano?
Yep.
I used to play the piano.
[CROWD CHEERS]
Please... I will find
your horse. I promise.
- Or I-I-I can get you money...
- ESME: Hey, sweetheart, listen, all I need from you,
is to just stay on your feet
for a couple of rounds, okay?
- ESME: You give them something to bet on.
- Jesus Christ this is a fucking joke, right?
I can't fight!
- I'm just...
- ESME: You're not just anything, mate!
You are the useless piece of shit.
That stole my champion
racehorse, aren't ya?
Put this dickhead up against Bevan.

Fuck! Me! Mwah! Mwah!

KANE: So? Where do you want it?
- MEG: I dunno!
- KANE: Right.

- It's Lucky's, but he was in the lock-ups.
Someone took him. Someone called Esme?
I think?
What?
ESME: Oh, one more little thing.
I put $300 on you.
What?
'Cos I saw you in Cocklebiddy,
before you stole my vehicle,
Right, and I saw your anger,
and I can see it now,
just here,
just behind the fear.
Now, if you win,
Huh? What? Win?! I...
ESME: If you win,
I'll split it with ya. See? Fair's fair.
- But I...
- You go get 'em, tiger!
- LUCKY: Please...

No, not yet.
