All language subtitles for Gold.Digger.S01E02 eng

My name is Benjamin. Julia.

Would you like to go for a drink?

You have to go.

I was 60 yesterday, and...

How is it, then - Emily being back?

What?

She's...?

I never thought I'd be the kind of
woman who checks up on her husband.

Well, don't leave on my account.

Who said I was?

Someone's waiting for me.

What exactly are you doing with me?

Why aren't you with someone
your own age?

What's wrong with you?

There's something I need to tell you
all. I've met someone.

Benjamin.

She's our mum,
it's our job to protect her.

What's he after?
One word - gold-digger.

Do we instantly have to be
suspicious?

CATTLE LOW

I've always liked beginnings best.

When you feel everything's possible.

BIRDSONG

When you can just be
who you want to be.

When the past doesn't exist.

But it has a way of finding you out.

KNOCK AT DOOR

So, just when you let
your guard down...

..there it is.

BIRDSONG

Is Leo up? I thought he might
like to come for a ride with me.

Leo?

And you must be...?

Benjamin.

I'm guessing you're... Ted.

Leo?

Your father's here.

Is a tea out of the question?

Can I give you a hand?

Julia?

Chivalrous, as well. My goodness!

I try.

So, how are you enjoying
your maiden voyage, Benjamin?

Devon, you mean?

And the house. How are you enjoying
being in the house?

Julia's done a lovely job.

Leo, for the fourth time,
your father's here!

Kettle's boiled.

All right, Dad?

Mm-hm! Benjamin.
You've, er...you've met, then.

Yeah. Good to see you, Leo.

I was just asking Benjamin here
how he's enjoying the family home.

Served us well, didn't it, son?
Happy memories and all that.

How's that tea coming along?

We need to have it black.

Hey.

You OK?

Are we racing,
or am I going easy on you?

You go easy on me?

£20 says I'll whip your arse.
What a lovely imagery.

Get what you came for?

What, going for a bike ride
with my son?

It's pathetic, is what it is.

You can talk.

To be honest, I didn't realise
getting the divorce through
would affect you so much.

DOOR OPENS

HE SIGHS

Your home is...

..incredible.

Your kids are so lucky.

I don't look back.

There's nothing good there.

# Why is it so hard to accept
the party is over... #

Just...guilt.

# You came with your new friends
and... #

Shame.

This day in front of me,

that's about all I can deal with.

# Somebody get the tacos

# Somebody spark the blunt

# Let's start the Narcos off
at episode one... #

But even then...

..there's always something to wreck.

# ..my favourite

# Am I warm enough for you

# Outside, baby, yeah

# Tell me
if it's warm enough here for you

# Warm enough for you inside me

# Me, me, me

# Warm enough for you

# Outside, baby, yeah

# Tell me if it's warm enough
here for you

# Warm enough outside, inside me

# Me, me, me, me... #

INCOMING CALL

You look like shit.
Out again last night?

Morning to you too.

We need to talk about Benjamin.

Have you been speaking to Dad?

Of course not. Why, what's he said?

Some rambling voicemail
about Benjamin being in Devon

and what we're going to do about it.

Well, he's right about that,
at least.

You're in a charming mood today.

So, I've done some due diligence.

The man has no social
media footprint, like, none.

Now, for a normal person
of someone his age,

that is positively suspicious.

I'm thinking, you and me,

we follow him, find out
what he's about.

Follow him? Are you on crack?

If he's hiding something,
we'll find out,

and fast, before Mum gets hurt
any more.

No. Not doing it. No way.

BIRDSONG

How often do you come up here?

I used to do it every day.

Until I became a horrible
distraction.

SHE CHUCKLES
Well, there is that, yes.

No, it predates you.

When everything happened with Ted,
Marsha, I found myself just...

..not finding pleasure in anything.

Especially my favourite things,
so I just...

I didn't do them.

FAINT BARKING

BIRDSONG

Am I going senile, or...? No.

Everybody's looking at us.

God, this place!
I hate it sometimes.

So, why stay? My kids.

I'm pretty sure they're classed as
adults by now, aren't you?

Spoken like a non-parent.
They're always kids,

this is always their home.

However...small it is.

LOW CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

Sod it, let's go back to London
for a few days.

Which wouldn't count as
running away?

Which absolutely wouldn't
count as running away!

And I have heard you.

And I am telling you that
I am working on it, all right?

Yeah.

All right. OK.

Who was that? Oh, thanks.

Just some, er...PPI nonsense.

So, where to first, then, eh?

V&A? Imperial War Museum?

Or shall we just be terribly behaved

and sack off all things cultural
and head to the nearest bar?

Cheers!

Do you know what I'd really like
to do?

Please don't say the London Eye.

I'd like to meet
some of your friends.

MUSIC BLASTS

ANIMATED CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

It's all right. Come on.

Get a room. Bugger off.

Bianca, Julia.
Julia, this is Bianca.

Hello. And this...reprobate here
is Zac.

Hi. Hi.

Oh!
THEY CHUCKLE

I say we devise a reason
to get rid of Benj here,

and then we can give you the lowdown
on his most dire character traits.

Oh, I think we can spare her
the war stories, don't you?

Fine. I'll just have to settle
for grilling you, Julia,

on how this fledgling romance
came into being.

Forgive him, Julia, he's excitable.

So, shoot me, I'm excited.
Benjamin up past eight. Huh!

And introducing us
to a...lady, no less.

For God's sake!
Now, I need some deets.

Is this a set-up,
or an organised vibe?

I'm sensing no to Tinder.
HE LAUGHS

It was just by chance.

Er...in a museum.

A museum? You lucky fuck.

I can't even pick up in a bar.

Not that you're trying.

Past tense, my dear. Scout's honour.

I don't believe for one minute
they let you in the Scouts.

Tell me his opening gambit.

Oh. Um...

You know what?
I can't actually remember.

It was only that he was nice,

and he didn't have to be.

And how long has he been hiding
you away for, Julia?

It's only a... What is it?
It's a couple of weeks.

No, no, don't downplay it.

You see, that right there
is the best bit.

Before the sheen wears off

and the truth outs.

Thank you, baby.

ANIMATED CHATTER

SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY

CLATTER!
Sh...!

BARKING

It wasn't me! It was a...cat.

A very large cat.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

I live here.

Not here, here, obviously,
but I live...

..here in London.

You don't.

You live in LA, with all the twats.

It's late, Della.

What I'd like to know is why I had
to hear from my idiot brother...

..that you'd moved back.

Talking basic common courtesy.

One text. Nothing fancy.

Not even a kiss,
if you're still pissed off.

Although it was a year ago

and that's a long time
to hold on to anger.

Just saying.

But no, no text, no call,

no...carrier pigeon.

So, what - were you just planning

never to see me?

You done?

For now.
CLATTER!

That...was deliberate,
just so you know.

Go home, Della.

Emily?

ANIMATED CHATTER

It's nice. Er...to see Benjamin
so happy.

He's not normally happy?

This past year, not so much.

Which makes me very sad,
because, you know,

he's, er...he's very special.

Is it because of his break-up?

That's it.
He told you the stories, yes?

Oh, I only know it ended badly.

He bought the ring,
asked for the parents' permission.

You know, did everything proper.

Took it seriously, like he does.

And then he asked her,
and it's not just a no.

It's a,
"No, and I've got someone else."

Oh, God!

He must have been crushed.

What was she like?

Sorry. I don't mean to...

No, no, come on.
It's completely natural.

I've already spent three, maybe
four hours looking at Zac's profile,

checking out all of his exes,

getting crazy jealous.

Ha! Hm.

Um...

do you have a photo of her?

Of course.

Would you judge me? I'll show you.

No judgment. Huh.

Ali was, er...

Well, I guess you would say pretty,
er...blonde.

Young.

You're more beautiful.

And I don't lie.

Ah! That'll get you ready.

Ha-ha! Bottoms up!

Cheers, everybody.

Ooo! Sorry.

ZAC LAUGHS
Oh!

Where we going? Warehouse Party.
Manor House.

I'm in. I think... I...

THEY LAUGH
I think we're going to pass.

It's a school night. Come here.

Oh, he's keeping your wings, Julia.
He's not.

Don't let him clip your wings.

Come on. You're all right, come on.

Bye! Bye! I wanted to go.

Trust me, you really, really didn't.

Oh! Because I'd embarrass you?

Why...why...why would you think
you'd embarrass me?

That was...

HE WHISTLES

Hey, what's...?
Come on, come on, come on.

What's your address?

I thought...I thought
we'd go back to that hotel, no?

Oh, did you now?

Yeah.
I've been dreaming of the bathtub

and all the things
I'm going to do to you in it.

All of which you could do at yours.

HE LAUGHS

Sorry, I was just picturing
my bathtub,

and...and the rest of my flat,
come to think of it.

Look, my cleaner comes tomorrow.
I can't let you see it before then,

for health and safety.
You'd go right off me.

Impossible.

Where we going, then?

Hm-hm! Sorry.

The hotel, come on, surely.
Why have cotton, when...?

I'm paying, I suppose.

What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, come on. What?

I do...I do have my own money,
you know.

Look, let's just go to yours
and I promise

I will not judge
any of your unclean surfaces...

I've already said, not tonight.

O-OK.

It just... It is actually
starting to feel like

you don't want me to see
where you live.

Feels a bit like you've got some,
I don't know...

I don't know, maybe
some woman stashed away.

Ahem!

Is that really what you think?

It's called a joke. I was joking.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know what?
It...it didn't really feel like it.

Why don't you go
and I'll call you, OK?

DOORBELL RINGS

Come in, come in.

Who is that?

I caused a fuss, sorry,
I should have called first.

It's fine. It's my mum.

Yeah, I can see that. Hi, Julia.

Are you drunk? I thought you were
out with Benjamin.

Can I stay? Yeah, course.

What's he done?

He hasn't done anything.

I wanted to see my grandchildren.

At one in the morning?!

I'll just go up to bed, if I may.

I'll get the room ready
for your mum.

Oh, no, please
don't go to any trouble.

Sorry about this.

No more apologising.

The girls'll be thrilled
to see you, as are we.

Er, Lottie's into hiding
stuff at the moment.

She finds it hilarious.

We find it...

..less so.

You got everything you need?

Yeah, thanks.

DOOR CLOSES

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

Very good.

What do you think, Granny?

Very sun-like.

Are we going to see Grandpa as well?

How about I pick you up from school?

Oh, I think that's a yes.

PHONE BUZZES

How are the lovebirds?

Er, I'm at your brother's.

Er, I've put you on speaker.

My favourite. Do you want to say
hello to your Uncle Leo?

Hi, Uncle Leo. Hi, Lottie.

Morning, Leo. Yeah.

You're up early.

Not out of choice, believe me. Some
dude's here to service the Aga.

Right, well, you know where it is.
Can Mum have her coffee now?

I'm not stopping her
have her coffee.

Come and see us soon, Leo.
All right, have a good day.

All right, thank you very much,
goodbye, mate.

You don't always need to be so hard
on your brother.

How was that...?

I'd like to cook Sunday lunch.
To say thank you for having me.

Oh, well, no need,

but I'll never say no
to one of your roasts.

Will it just be...?

Yes, Patrick, it'll just be me.

BABY GURGLES

So, we've got nappies, wipes, a
teething ring, which she will stuck

on for two minutes if you're lucky,
before lobbing it out. Let me...

Eimear, I have had three of my own.

Right you are.

I'm just going to take her
round the parks,

so you can get your head down
for a bit.

I'd literally murder for a nap,

or at the very least maim.

But I have a call booked
with my old clerk.

You're not going back
to work, are you?

I want a life for myself.

SEAGULLS CALL

Hi. Hey.

Come in, come in. Korea's waiting.

Of course, I'll just...
Er, one sec, Del.

Mm-hm.

Sorry, this is Della, my sister.

And this is Heidi, my associate.

So, Heidi, on a scale of one to ten,

how much of a cock is my brother
to work for?

Mm? That bad?

Thank you. Thank you.

Bye.

She likes you.

Right.

You're not...?

I'm not what?

Brought us lunch.

Right, well, you didn't need to.
We have people for that.

Yeah, I know.
I'm one of those people.

Um, right, hold on...

First...

So, he is legitimate.

Julia?

Oh, Bianca, hi!

You're waiting for Benjamin?

No, no, I'm just I'm waiting
for a bus, actually.

Ah, OK.

You're in the right spot for it.

Erm...

I will... I will leave you to it.

I am craving caffeine.

He's working from home today.

Not that you asked.

Don't tell him you saw me.

Bye.

PHONE RINGS ON THE LINE

ON SPEAKER: Good afternoon, HTK,
how can I help?

Oh, hi there.
It's Jonathan from Ardley & CO.

I was just wondering
if you could help me.

We've had some exceptional work
delivered to us from Benjamin Green

and I just want to send
a token of appreciation.

Problem is, I think we have an old
address for him on file.

It's genuinely scary...

ON PHONE: OK, let me just check
for you. What address do you have?

..how good a liar you are.

It's 58 Jarwood Street.

Ah, no,

You could take Mum for a romantic
meal in the chicken shop.

You've lived in Barnes too long.
I knew it'd make a twat of you.

A man wants to go up in the world.

Who can blame him?

So, he goes out, finds a rich old,

and let's not forget,
vulnerable woman.

And then bingo!

Goodbye, shithole flat.

It's just a quick one.

Are you free for Sunday lunch?

I'm doing a chicken, nothing fancy.

Thing is, Mum...

I know it's a trek for you,
but Lottie has been asking

on a five-second loop when she'll be
seeing her favourite auntie.

Only auntie.

Don't be like that, she's...

I'm not being like anything.

I just...

Yes, I'll come, thanks.

All right, great.
She'll be really pleased.

Sorry, Mum, I've got to go.

Can...?

And you say I'm a good liar.

That doesn't count.

Everyone lies to their mother.

Fact. Call it an act of kindness.

You think Mum really wants to know
the reality of my life?

It'd finish her off.

Her only daughter,
the proverbial car crash.

It's called a joke.

Well, it's not desperately funny.

Well, it'll fit right in with the
rest of my new material, then.

Del...

..you would tell me if you needed...

Oh, my God!

That's him!

Drugs.

He's a drugs dealer.

I'm not giving you any more
caffeine.

What...?

Come on, then!

God.

This is a great look for a lawyer.

CAMERA CLICKS

Hate to say I told you so,

but...

Actually, no, I don't,
I love to say it.

No wonder he moves so fast.

Nothing like the threat
of imminent homelessness

to oil the wheels of romance.

I suppose you've never been
late for your rent!

Hang on, this isn't you
feeling sorry for him, is it?

He's taking Mum for a ride.

We don't know that.

We just know...

..he's struggling.

What's the crime in that?

He's nothing to us.

Literally nothing.

She is our mother.

You can't go!

Who knows what state he'll come back
in, what else we might find?

Well, I'm staying for Mum's sake.

Don't pretend it's for her!

For some inexplicable reason,
you seem to prefer being

anywhere but at home
with your wife and kids.

Fuck off.

I don't know what or who
you're running away from,

but stalking Mum's new boyfriend
is a curious move - even for you.

Oh, hang on, all right.

Let me just get this straight.

You're giving me life advice.

Now, that's a real joke.

Try putting that in your next set.

And for Lottie...

Della, don't let your brother see.

Newsflash, Mum, kids eats sweets.
Even he can't control that.

Shoes, darling.

Up the leg. I'm going to just, like,
nibble on the shoulder, a tiny bit.

But you know what
I really like to eat is...

..bonbons! They're for you.

Don't tell your dad, OK?

Dad, guess what?

She's going to tell him.

Leo tells me Emily's back.

The master of discretion!

It isn't a secret, is it?

No, no, it's fine.

It's not even worth talking
about, honestly.

Have you seen her?

Why would I see her? That's like
asking if you've seen Dad.

I assume these are from you.

You assume correctly.

Della brought us
a lovely bottle of red.

Hmm.

It's just this is...
A far superior wine.

Yes, I'm sure it is.

It is lovely to see you, darling.

Can I borrow you quickly?

I'm thinking we do it after lunch.

Just you and me -
I've not told Eimear.

Do what?

Tell Mum about Benjamin.

How do you imagine we do that?

Show her the picture, obviously!

Which we'll say we obtained how?

Well...

We do this,
she'll never trust us again.

And what, we just sit on it?

Better still - we forget about it.

Or...

..we build a watertight
case against him.

You two are up to something.

I was just telling Della about
Lottie's charming new habit

of hearing swear words and repeating
them at full volume and...

..as the worst offender...

Well, at the risk of tempting fate,

her arse is clean and she's asleep.

Can I go up and give her a kiss?

Abso-fucking-lutely not! Unless you
want to sit up there,

getting her back to sleep.
You look...

..hot.

Oh! Wrong sibling,

but I'll take it.

I was just about to say...
Yeah, yeah, sure you were.

Shouldn't you...?

Are you still breast-feeding?

How long are you staying for?

I'm not sure.

Leo must be losing his shit.

Lee is an adult.

What, a few days, a week?

Depends.

On?

On Benjamin.

Depends on Benjamin.

Which I'm sure is what you've all
been wanting to ask about.

I was just making conversation.

I'm sure you were.

There's no big secret.

It's....

We had a falling out, so...

What about?

Well, has he rung you?

Tried to apologise?

Because it would be him, right?

It couldn't possibly be me
that was in the wrong?

It's natural that we'd take your
side what with you being our mother!

Look, you're obviously upset.

I'm not obviously anything.
Thank you, Patrick.

Apart from fucking boiling.

I... I don't even remember
what the row was about

or whose fault it was.

I just...

The only thing that I do know
is I think I'm too old for this.

60 is not old, Mum.

Well, it's not young.

Don't all rush in to correct me!

So, it's over, then?

Um...

Oh, I'm such an arse!

Mum...

I'm sorry. Come here.

Mum, please don't cry.

..you can't stop thinking
about them all the time.

It's terrifying...

The only way I knew it could stand

What was the other night?

What is this?

Like, really, what is this?

It's not normal for exes to call
exes, however weird their day.

She makes a fair point.

What do you want, Della?

SHE SIGHS

I haven't known the answer

What I want is...

..not to fuck up any more.

Which covers a lot of things.

Well, everything, really.

Family.

Work.

Me.

You.

I can't believe you...

A whole year you've had to say this.

How could I?
It wouldn't have been fair.

Oh, and you think this is fair?

No.

No, I don't.

Just when I get my life sorted...

..find someone who actually makes
me feel good about myself

and you do what you always do.

You make it all about you.

You are right.

I'm a cock.

Don't talk about yourself like that.

I'm sorry...

..for...

..for so much.

I'm going to go.

I love you.

I still love you.

Who said I was thinking anything?

You forget, I know your face.

I was thinking...

..this time, I'm going
to deserve you.

I promise.

You OK?

PHONE BUZZES

Hello?

Della, I'm outside.

Are you home?

Come down!

How was the peace brokered, then?

Always so dramatic.

It felt pretty dramatic last time.

I couldn't get hold of him

and I didn't deal with it
desperately well.

Why, what was he up to?

His phone was in his jeans.

And his jeans were in the wash.

So...

But what about your falling out?

We did what people do -
we apologised.

Well, he did, profusely,

even though I'm sure
he didn't need to.

Most importantly, we vowed
that we would not drink

tequila together again.

And you... You're OK?

I missed him.

It scared me.

Sorry, you probably....

I know that
you don't want to hear that. Mum.

Mum, it's me. I get it.

The heart wants what it wants

or else it does not care.

I tried for years to get you to read
Dickinson when you were little.

You refused point blank.

What did you expect me to do?

There was so much
Sunset Beach to watch.

Here you go.

Julia mentioned that
you had a gig the other night.

How'd that go? Tonight I do.

But I haven't had one for...

Well, for an embarrassing
amount of time.

But when I rang...

It was five minutes
playing to an audience of one,

the organiser.

Being a comedian, that...

..can't be easy.

She's a stubborn little girl,
our Della.

We tried to get her
to become a banker.

Well, Ted did.

Fortunately, I could barely
operate a calculator.

Plus, without the struggle,
what is there, Benjamin?

Nothing worth having.

some kind of tragic later-life

crisis in London, but bringing her
man-child down here...

You don't have
a monopoly on Devon, Dad.

I never said I did.

I just think she's making
a fool of herself.

And as somebody who cares about her,
I think we need to intervene

before it becomes any more absurd
than it already is.

Patrick is your man for this.

Patrick is even harder to get
hold of than you.

Bottom line is - your mother
needs saving.

What she actually needs is for us

all to mind our own fucking
business and let her be happy.

For once.

You know how much I have to defend
you, Della?

Even now, now you're apparently
a fully-grown adult when your mother

rings me in a state worrying that
you'll never get a proper job,

never have kids,

never have all the things
a person is supposed to have.

I say she's doing her own thing -
let her.

Good to know.

So, I'm at my day job...

I know - shocking that I can't make
a living entertaining you lovely

people, "entertaining" may be
too strong a word,

but I digress...

I'm at my day job,

about to begin the high-octane task
of drum roll, please...

..sorting the mail...

..when I realise something.

It's my ten-year anniversary.

Not of my marriage,

not of my sobriety,

mm-mm.

Nope.

Of sorting the mail!

MAN CLEARS HIS THROAT

Now, I know what you're thinking.

"We didn't pay to hear about your
middle-class existential bollocks."

Get to the funnies!
Better yet, get off.

You were great.

I don't know what show you were in.
They're a miserable crowd.

No-one would have made them laugh.
Mm.

Missed seeing you perform.

SHE SIGHS

That was a very short
honeymoon period.

Don't. Don't do that,

read stuff into everything.

I had a shit gig.
I'm in a shit mood. That's all.

Why didn't you move in?

Seriously?

You want to ask that now?

I've had a year to come up
with excuses for you,

none of which really make up for
me sitting there waiting for you

to arrive with your stuff and then
realising you're not going to show.

Can we do this after a drink,

or several? Ideally several.
Yeah, no.

I've just come from breaking up
with Alexis,

so no, Della, we do it now.

You broke up with her?

It is a simple enough question.

If you hadn't stopped loving me,
which you claim not to have,

then why didn't you move in?

I hadn't.

I haven't.

SHE SIGHS

My prick of a father.

Well, what's he got to do with it?

I was packed, ready,

and - would you believe this? -
genuinely excited.

Then Mum rang, told me
he was leaving her for Marsha,

that it had been going on for ages,
basically that he'd

shat on her from a very high height.

The worst part was...

..I wasn't surprised.

Because deep down,
I'm just like him.

Toxic.

And I didn't want to bring that
into your home.

Into your life.

Do you really believe that?

PHONE RINGS

Can you leave it?

Della?

It's my brother, I can't.

Oh, fuck. Della, where are you?

You have to see this.

Della? If it's about Benjamin,
I really don't.

They're good together.

He likes her. I can tell.

Mum can really pick 'em.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

I like you already. Do you?

He was my husband,
and you were my best friend.

I...

Ever since you found out about
Benjamin, you've been jealous.

HE SCOFFS
Don't be ridiculous.

You can't stand the fact that
she's met someone else.

I'm the one who left her.

So, I'm dating a millionaire.

I'll take you however you come.
For richer or poorer?

HE CHUCKLES

Preferably richer.

Watch your back.

They're exceptionally protective
about their mother.

Well, with good reason in your case.

They don't want us to be together.

We need to speak to you. In private.

What are you doing?!

What are you going to do?

Break up with him, obviously.
