00:00Hello? Oh, take a hint, Hobart. You need to be realistic about what's still out there.
00:19So we already hold the licences for the initial wind monitoring and the measurements so far
00:23very promising. You thought I wouldn't be able to pay for dinner, didn't you?
00:34What do you mean? Run? Like run away? Or run ha ha? Joe, your phone.
00:46So how'd you go trusting Joe?
00:48He quit I think. Now when I start worrying I just tell myself everything's fine.
01:04Are you playing me?
01:07Would you prefer the downstairs study or the upstairs? I want you to write, to bloom.
01:18I need to be alone. I need to sit on my boat for a bit, but I'm thinking of you.
01:48We're all worried about you. Call me back.
01:56Anton says you're not answering your phone. Why not?
02:18I can see you're reading my messages.
02:29Bertie, why are you playing games and not responding? It's hurtful.
02:35It's hurtful.
02:48Oh, I can't watch it. Oh, it's embarrassing.
03:03The child's unwell. Leave her be.
03:14I really wanted to kiss you. You're not quite mad yet, are you?
03:20I'm not mad. I'm nervous to meet your family. I want to have a good time with you.
03:24I'm going to see you in the place where you're with me. I love you.
03:33No one will ask you a question.
03:44No.
04:08Did I tell you I'm really enjoying your dad's book?
04:14We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves in check.
04:19Are you quite mad yet? I'm here with you. I have an infinite expectation of your daughter.
04:24I love you.
04:26Come on, that's enough. Oh, for God's sake. I didn't wallow like this when your father died.
04:35Come on. You can get over a man. Come on.
04:44Oh.
05:03There you go.
05:15I did wonder. I mean, who turns up at dinner in a crumpled shirt?
05:32You know some music will cheer you up.
05:45I'm a love
05:51kid. Wish I were a sin.
06:03I'm your life and you were holding me. What a situation that would be.
06:10Love kid, looking for love.
06:21I don't remember it being so.
06:39So.
06:59How are you doing?
07:00Is this an investigation yet?
07:14Will you help me? Yeah, of course.
07:16I don't understand any of this. Yeah.
07:20OK, land title searches. Full name and birth date.
07:27Joe Roland Burt.
07:31The 2nd of the 5th, 1967.
07:37Do you have an address? His house in the Yarra?
07:39It's 14 Yarra Boulevard, Hugh.
07:45Documents will be back in an hour.
07:49Why didn't I let you just do the search?
07:51Hey, don't beat yourself up.
07:53It's the social security.
07:55Don't beat yourself up. It's the social contract.
07:57We trust people.
08:01Till we can't.
08:05What the fuck has he done to me?
08:08Oh.
08:24Land title documents are back.
08:26Oh.
08:28The house is in her name.
08:30Of course, Mary.
08:32Who is she?
08:34His ex-wife.
08:38Maybe he transferred it to her
08:40for business or tax reasons.
08:42No, it's been in her name for 20 years.
08:46No sign of Mary.
08:48She has health issues.
08:50Mary's been thrown out.
08:53Called her Crazy Mary.
08:55If a guy tells you his ex is crazy,
08:57run.
08:59Here is her phone number.
09:01Call her.
09:03See what you can find out.
09:07What's this?
09:09Broken collarbone.
09:11Mary.
09:13Mary broke your collarbone?
09:15Yeah, pushed me off a ladder.
09:17Hello, Harry speaking.
09:21Hello?
09:23Hi.
09:25Can I please speak with Mary Walsh?
09:27Mum, it's for you.
09:29I've got to go.
09:31I've got to go.
09:33I've got to go.
09:35I've got to go.
09:37I've got to go.
09:39I've got to go.
09:41I've got to go.
09:43I've got to go.
09:46It's for you.
09:48Yeah?
09:50Hello.
09:52My name's Bertie Bell.
09:54I was hoping to ask you some questions about
09:56Joe Bert.
09:58Listen, I'm sorry if he broke your heart.
10:00We are no longer married.
10:02He doesn't live here anymore.
10:04Please don't call again.
10:16Oh.
10:18Your millionaire boyfriend
10:20is an undischarged fucking bankrupt.
10:22What does that mean?
10:24He's still in it.
10:26Oh my God.
10:28How's he getting away with it?
10:30This is insane.
10:36Yeah, but defend is a collector's item.
10:38I'm doing some soul searching
10:40and I've decided not to go through with it.
10:42Here's your credit card.
10:44Here's your credit card.
10:46I don't have a credit card.
10:48I refuse to pay the bloody bank fees.
10:50Joe's been in bankruptcy
10:52for three times longer than normal
10:54for refusing to work with a trustee.
10:56I'm emailing you a credit list
10:58of everyone he owes money to.
11:00Could you just enjoy this a little bit less?
11:02Just a bit.
11:04This is someone I was in love with.
11:08Is Shirley Bert a relation?
11:10I don't know.
11:13He's got a criminal record, Bertie.
11:15What?
11:19In 2017
11:21he went to court.
11:23Represented himself.
11:31Using a false instrument?
11:33What?
11:35Usually a forgery-related charge.
11:37Something to do with Eagle's Nest Architecture.
11:39Responsible architect
11:41listed as Peter Van Rotterdam.
11:45My ex-business partner Peter
11:47stuck with him a bit too long, unfortunately.
11:51You have to talk to the business partner.
11:55I have a disgusting amount of money.
12:01You must be Bertie.
12:03Hi.
12:05Eliza Caldwell.
12:07Are you feeling better?
12:10Yeah, thanks for approving my leave.
12:12If you've got a sec, I would love to chat through the next issue.
12:22Pitch it.
12:24Pitch this?
12:26Expose him.
12:28Peggy?
12:30No.
12:32It's an amazing story.
12:34No, I'm not going to do that.
12:36Maybe it will help you understand it all, Bertie.
12:40I've really talked you up.
12:42I said I should get you on some longer-form features articles.
12:46So, what do you want to write about?
12:50Ah, well, there's a new food security report
12:54from the UN.
12:58Lena Malik has a new restaurant opening.
13:02Oh, yeah, I follow her on Insta.
13:04Do her.
13:06Bertie, if you have any other pitches,
13:08my door's always open.
13:10Thank you.
13:38Tessa.
13:40Tessa Ray.
13:42Smartest woman I ever met.
13:52You want to know about Joe?
13:54He's a compulsive liar.
13:58We spent 20 years at Eagle's Nest
14:00and everything was over
14:02before I even knew there was a problem.
14:05He used a forged document
14:07on a planning application.
14:09He'd hid the mail.
14:11It wasn't until papers were served
14:13to my residential address
14:15after two years
14:17that I discovered
14:19that I'd been found guilty
14:21of professional misconduct.
14:23Joe listed me
14:25as responsible architect.
14:27He was like a brother to me.
14:29I mean, I was best man
14:31at his wedding to Mary.
14:33You know, he said Mary
14:35had mental health problems.
14:37Mary?
14:39Episodes.
14:41No, she was a lovely woman.
14:43Even keel.
14:45Great mother.
14:47He said she broke his collarbone.
14:49He was obsessed with her.
14:51Mary thought an intruder
14:53was trying to break in through a window.
14:55She had to push the ladder
14:57off the wall.
14:59She called the police.
15:02Found Joe in the garden.
15:10I think you should file a police report.
15:12What?
15:14No.
15:16What crime is there to report?
15:18At the very least, fraud.
15:20At the other end,
15:22rape by deception.
15:26Oh, Peggy.
15:28Oh, no, no.
15:30Oh, no, no.
15:32I was a very willing participant.
15:34How can you consent
15:36when he's lied about the most basic
15:38facts of his identity?
15:42He misrepresented himself.
15:44When a person
15:46lies to obtain money,
15:48we call it theft.
15:50When someone lies to enter private property,
15:52we call it trespass.
15:54I can't go there.
15:56Sorry.
16:00He misrepresented himself.
16:02In court, when someone lies to get money,
16:04we call it theft.
16:06When they lie to enter private property,
16:08we call it trespass.
16:10Legal law afford less than
16:12detection to a person's body.
16:14It violates you in every way.
16:30Ready, Belle?
16:32What?
16:34It's me, Alan.
16:40What are you doing here?
16:42Where's Joe?
16:44I don't know.
16:46I need to find him.
16:48I'm in trouble.
16:50Joe's not returning my calls.
16:52I couldn't find his office upstairs.
16:54I'm sorry.
16:56I'm sorry.
16:58Does he have an office upstairs?
17:00He doesn't have an office upstairs.
17:02My investors are running out of patience.
17:04I need to know when the government's
17:06announcing the new red zones.
17:08You confirmed it at our meeting?
17:10At Yakimono?
17:12The meeting Joe arranged for us?
17:16That was the first time I'd met him.
17:18It was a date.
17:22He said you had access
17:24to confidential briefs from the minister's office.
17:27He said not to approach you directly about it
17:29due to the sensitive nature
17:31of the information?
17:33The writing's on the wall for Cole, right?
17:35Birdie Belle here says
17:37the writing's on the wall for Birdie.
17:43Alan, I don't have access to
17:45confidential ministerial briefs.
17:47I'm sorry.
17:49I don't know.
17:51None of this makes sense.
17:53I can't help you.
17:56I'm sorry.
18:27Birdie, don't do anything dangerous, okay?
18:45I'm just down at the local pub
18:47with some of my farm mates.
18:49We've fixed the fence.
18:57Oh, my God.
19:09My friend, Billy Bass.
19:15What can I get you?
19:17Uh, I'm...
19:19I'm looking for someone.
19:21Uh, he's a regular here?
19:23Well, the fish is.
19:25Never seen the bloke.
19:27Oh, he owns some land
19:29south of the highway.
19:31Only blockies down there.
19:33Weekenders, you know,
19:35cartons of beer and weekend shooters,
19:37that sort of thing.
19:39If he told you he was living down there,
19:41I reckon he's having you on, Dale.
19:53Oh.
20:20It's more like a shed, really,
20:23but it's mine.
20:25A place to retreat to
20:27when the pressures of the world
20:29get a little bit too much.
20:38You know, you're the first woman
20:40I brought out of here.
20:42I hope it's not too rough and ready for you.
20:44No.
20:50Hey!
20:52Did you see the sign?
21:06It's more like a shed, really,
21:08but it's mine.
21:10But it's mine.
21:22Oh, it's OK.
21:24I'll have it next time.
21:44My day.
21:52My day.
22:10Thanks, babe, for the thought, but save your pennies.
22:12I'm doing some soul-searching
22:14and I've decided not to go through
22:16with Eldorado.
22:19I don't want to go down the path of ego.
22:21I need to get back to Walden
22:23in the simple line.
22:35Hi, Bertie.
22:37It's Susan.
22:39I'm happy to pass on Kirsty's number,
22:41but we don't really speak anymore.
22:43Jo won't let her talk to me
22:45or any of her other friends.
22:47Good luck.
23:09Hi, you've called Tessa Rain.
23:11Please leave a message.
23:13Tessa, it's Bertie.
23:16Tessa, it's Bertie Bell.
23:18I got your message.
23:20I'd love to meet...
23:22I'm trying to understand my relationship
23:24with Jo Bert.
23:26I'm thinking
23:28about writing a story,
23:30an article.
23:34He talked about you
23:36a lot.
23:38Oh, God.
23:40Ugh.
23:42I met him on a nap.
23:44Yeah.
23:46Me too.
23:48I went on a few dates with him
23:50and then he started talking about
23:52how he was going to buy a house for me.
23:58He told me that
24:00you got in the shower
24:02fully clothed
24:04to embrace him.
24:07No.
24:13No, I just knew
24:15something was off.
24:17My guts just knew.
24:19It was all the lies.
24:21It was a couple of months
24:23of being vaguely interested in him
24:25and three years beating myself up
24:27for ignoring all the blazing red flags.
24:29I know.
24:31Yeah, with people like Jo,
24:33it never ends.
24:35There's never any closure.
24:37You just decide to leave.
24:41Oh.
24:43He's still on there.
24:45You know.
24:49I almost matched with him the other day.
24:59You know, he's got to be this big,
25:01grandiose guy.
25:04You think it's all about you,
25:06then one day you realize
25:08he doesn't care about you at all.
25:10You're just a prop
25:12in his fantasy play.
25:18You're listed
25:20as the main creditor
25:22to whom Jo owes money.
25:24You'd do anything for your children.
25:30It's not easy for Jo.
25:32He has a hard time.
25:34He lost your house.
25:36You know this, Mum.
25:40No.
25:42Jo is the clever one.
25:44And it was the bank
25:46that lost the payments.
25:48Mum.
25:50I know, I know. The bank says it's a lie.
25:52And that if I
25:54see my son Jo,
25:56I'm to tell the nurses immediately.
25:58Well, I could never do that.
26:01He told me that
26:03you lived in New Zealand.
26:07Oh, how lovely.
26:09I honeymooned there.
26:11I saw a volcano.
26:17I want to go home now.
26:19It's okay, Mum.
26:23Look, please don't use our names
26:25in the article for Mum's sake.
26:27Do you know
26:29where he might be living?
26:33Someone saw him showering
26:35at the marina.
26:37And down at the river near Mum's.
26:39Well, thank you for coming.
26:41It's really helpful.
26:43Have you seen Jo?
26:47Is he happy?
26:51Yeah, I thought
26:53he was.
26:57I have to
26:59confront him
27:01if I'm going to publish.
27:03Where are you going?
27:05I know where he is.
27:07I'll text you when I get home.
27:23Jo?
27:25Jo?
27:56Can I help you?
27:58Oh, hi.
28:00Sorry.
28:02Do you know this boat?
28:04The Blue Moon?
28:06I'm looking for the owner.
28:08He has a red cap here.
28:10You might have seen him.
28:12This is him.
28:14He's not the owner.
28:16He came to look a couple of times.
28:18His kids crawled all over it.
28:20Said he paid the deposit
28:22and never saw him again.
28:24Right.
28:28Well, if you
28:30if you do
28:32see him again, would you mind
28:34giving me a call?
28:36I'm trying to find him.
28:38Thank you.
28:46You have one
28:48new message.
28:50Good morning, Bertie.
28:53I heard whispers you might be writing about me.
