Nemesis

I hope she's on time tonight.

Who, Katie?

Of course she will.

Well, you know what she's like.

Takes her three hours just to do her hair.

Oh, I remember a time when you were like that, young lady.

Well, I wasn't taking pictures of myself

every two minutes.

And that's a shame because I wish you would.

Well, I just hope she realizes how important

this evening is.

I'm sure she does.

Please, don't worry about it.

Just let's concentrate on this.

Cheers.

To us.

And the city we love the most.

Yeah.

Eddie!

Come here.

Good to see you.

Oh, good for you.

Good to see you.

Come.

Let's go have some lunch.

Uncle Richard's not coming tonight?

Richard?

Slow again, is he?

How is Richard anyway?

Well, Uncle Richard's...

I know.

Uncle Richard.

I don't see much of him when you ain't around.

He likes to keep ya at arm's length.

Yeah, of course he does.

Don't think he's ever liked me much, though.

Yeah, well, he doesn't like anyone much, Eddie.

Now that's not quite true, Sadie.

Oh, come on, John.

I know he's your brother,

but he's always been jealous of you.

He's a pain in the ass.

I mean, God knows how Janet puts up with him.

We're gonna be seeing him in a couple of days anyway, Eddie.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

We're meeting Katie's new lady friend at the apartment.

The old meet the parents, eh?

Yeah, something like that.

You should come along, you know.

Be interesting.

You think so?

Well, you are family, after all.

Yeah, well, more than Richard will ever be.

And there it goes.

Another one for the freaks?

Wait.

What?

Your turn.

No way.

- Strike a pose. - No.

Come on.

Do it for the Gram.

No way.

What's the point?

It's not like you ever post anything of me.

All right.

Don't worry.

I'm used to being your dirty, little secret.

Zoe.

Kate.

You know why.

- Do I? - Come on.

How many times have we been through it?

Don't be like that.

Like what?

Like that.

All I'm saying is I don't understand why

you keep us on the quiet.

Look, you know all my followers are guys.

If they knew about me,

if they knew about us,

they'd lose interest.

I'd lose followers.

Is it really that hard to choose between followers and happiness?

That is not fair, Zoe.

Everyone who needs to know about us does.

All these secrets.

Shit, it's Mum.

They've landed.

They'll be here soon.

We still need to get ready.

So?

So you need to get out of here.

I don't want their first time meeting you

to be as you're running out the door.

I want it to be perfect, okay?

It's just a couple more days.

They're really looking forward to seeing you.

Ladies and gentlemen, time now to meet

one of Project Solace's longest serving

and indeed most generous benefactors.

He's flown in especially to be with us here tonight.

Will you please welcome Mr. John Morgan.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I am so pleased to be here, truly.

The last 25 years I've been involved with this function,

this amazing charity,

has given me so much pleasure.

So much that I would like to give a little bit back.

How is that?

Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Now, with your permission,

I would like to talk about honour and...

Yeah, you want to talk about honour?

Eh?

Why is that?

Oh, that must be honour amongst thieves.

What, what was that?

What was that, what was that? What was that?

Oh, what, oh, no, I think you heard me perfectly.

Still up to your same old tricks, eh, John?

I'm sorry, have we met?

I'm not familiar.

No, you wouldn't be, would you?

Sir, this is a private function.

Yeah, why don't you go and get me the other glass?

Oi.

- Show yourself right now. - It's all right.

- What's going on, John? - It's all right.

- John, what's going on? - He's just leaving.

No, he's not just leaving.

He's staying put!

Really?

Lies and deceit.

Comes so natural.

It's a pleasure to watch.

It's been awhile, Frank.

Has it?

Yeah.

Shame it's not a little bit longer.

Shame?

No, that's not a shame.

Look, as the gentleman said,

this is a private function.

So if you wouldn't mind?

But I do mind.

I had to get a bus and two jeeps to get here.

So what do you want, you prick?

Oh, well, you see,

when I heard on the grapevine,

hey, it wasn't the grapevine,

it was someone you know really well,

and it's not the only thing they told me.

That the great John Morgan was flying in

for this beautiful occasion,

well, I had to see this for myself.

100 grand out of your own pocket.

Aren't you generous

- - with your ill-gotten gain?

You see, what's a shame is all these people falling

for your lies and bullshit.

Or maybe they just go along with your endless fucking charade.

You are way out of your depth.

Do yourself a favour and fuck off.

I just want everybody to know where that came from.

I just want people to know who

or what you really are.

Oh, really?

What more am I, Frank?

Well, you're a lying, murdering bastard.

Sir, you need to leave now

or I'm going to phone the police.

I am the police.

I see you're still carrying around

that little tin badge, hey, sheriff?

Yeah, and if I'm not much mistaken,

I think you're partial to a drink or 10 still.

Yeah, people don't change much, do they?

No, John.

They don't.

Look, all these nice people

have come here to enjoy themselves

and celebrate this wonderful cause.

So could we do this another time?

I've got a source on you.

We're gonna have a long chat,

and I've waited a long time for this.

You're gonna have to wait a little bit longer, I think,

because your posse's arrived, sheriff.

Sir.

Stand back.

All right, sir.

Have a nice day, Frank.

Back in one moment.

Oh!

- Dad! - John!
