Liz Stark, the British wife
of disgraced Plastic Surgeon Gabriel Stark
died after being electrocuted in the couple's hot tub,
in what seems to be a tragic accident.
Her husband, a minor star of the plastic surgery
reality show 'Face Fixers'
is more recently known for last year's
very public court case surrounding a number of bodged procedures.
One complainant famously describing her surgery
as 'the 9/11 of nose-jobs'.
Fucking vampires.
So...
this like a shrine or...
I'm not labelling it right now. It's just helping me to do this.
Is this her?
Did you make this? Give me that, please.
No, it's...
I think this the only doll she had as a kid.
She grew up dirt poor.
I gotta hold of Liz's will.
It wasn't dated when you got married,
so everything of hers goes to you.
But her wishes are that her body
must be returned to her family in England.
She hated them. They were estranged.
In the event of my death,
my body must be returned
to the Beaucrofts of Hayfork, England,
only there are my true intentions to be found.
Every effort must be made to restore my body there.
Did you know Beaucroft was her real name?
Yeah, yeah.
She changed it when she moved to America.
She hated them that much.
What am I gonna do?
I think you know what you gotta do.
These were Liz's wishes.
I'll take her home.
What the fuck is this, babe?
(DOOR CREAKS)
Hi. Is this the Beaucroft residence?
Er, I don't know if you know me, er...
You've seen me on TV.
Face Fixers?
No?
Oh, well, I'm er...
My name is Gabriel Stark.
And I have some...
unfortunate news about my wife, Liz.
Yeah, although I think there's been some kind of mistake.
She never mentioned any of this.
Oh, my god, it's huge!
Yes, yes, yes, yes! No, no, no, no, no!
Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!
Hey, hey buddy!
That's not a multi-gym! OK!
What, I'm losing all my gains here!
Sir! Sir!
Buddy! Help me!
No, no, I'm not...
(SCREAMS)
Elizabeth?
Where-where is she?
It's been so long!
Wait, gee is my sister
in that box?
Yeah. Yeah.
Because she's...
I'm so sorry.
(CRIES) No.
I'm so sorry.
It's a tragedy.
I'll prepare everything for her to be laid to rest.
Thank you.
This way please.
Ah...
this place is insane.
You can sense that?
I mean...
it's huge.
Oh?
Hey!
Who's that?
Oh, that's our grandfather Bertie.
Elizabeth was his favourite.
He got something called 'Dementia'.
It's really funny at first, then it turns sad.
Ended up in a coma.
This has got to be some kind of mistake.
Liz.
Yup, that's Elizabeth.
And there's me. See?
And that's Aston, my brother.
And that's Xanthe, my sister.
Ooh, I'll tell you a secret about her.
She's adopted. Right.
The Baron is ready for you now.
May I take your coat?
Thank you.
Do I...do I tip her?
(LAUGHS)
You're a hoot.
How did she die so young?
She was...
electrocuted in a...
in a hot tub.
A Beaucroft in a hot tub.
Such vulgar things.
Er, Baron.
This one was really nice, actually.
Top of the line.
You know, LED lights...
triple insulated,
Bluetooth sound system,
32 hydrotherapy massage jets.
It's really...
But obviously, it was defective.
Yeah.
But, I, erm, I am so grateful
that I fulfilled her wishes
and brought her all the way back here to you,
her family.
In a cardboard box on the top of a car?
I tried to get the minivan but...
to be honest, times have been a little tight.
Wow, this is really a big shock to me.
I just...I just don't understand?
Why didn't I know anything about any of this?
You know...
I mean...
she always told me she grew up poor.
You-You knew nothing of this house?
No.
I'll pass on the sad news to Elizabeth's other siblings.
They will be here tomorrow and we will have a small ceremony,
where you will be most welcome to say some words.
Oh.
OK.
That, er...
works for me, I guess.
Welcome to Beaucroft Hall, Mr Stark.
So, this was Liz's room? Mmm?
Did birds and mice help her get dressed in the morning?
Sweet dreams.
Yeah, thanks.
Oh, my god.
This is a lot to process, babe.
To be honest, I'm a little upset with you.
You could've told me.
(SOBS)
Oh, shit!
No.
Oh, fuck off!
Fu...
(SCREAMS)
Hey, Buddy.
That, that's...
You having a good morning?
Not really.
Oh, no? Why?
Gotta bury my wife's body.
Hmm, hmm.
Yeah.
She had a great body.
Hey, you got this, champ.
Gabe or Gabriel?
Er, Gabe.
Yeah Gabe. Aston Beaucroft.
Sorry to meet under such tragic circumstances.
My sister was taken far too young.
Yeah, er, nice to meet you.
Yeah, she was.
You probably should have...
cremated the body and brought over the ashes.
That would have been easier, no?
Er...
that's not really what she wanted.
Well, she's not really gonna know.
Er, yeah.
Hi.
I'm Xanthe. Hi.
It's great to meet you. I'm...I'm Gabe.
I feel numb, totally.
You must be heartbroken. Yeah.
Thank you so much for bringing her home.
No.
Well, at least it was quick.
Sorry, was it quick?
I don't really feel like talking about that right now if that's OK?
Oh, sure.
So, it took a while?
There's no need to grill the poor man, Xanthe.
I'll grill who I fucking like.
Bart's really one of a kind, huh?
Oh, Bart hasn't left this house or its grounds
since he was 12 years old.
Agoraphobia's the least of his problems though.
This house is so big.
I could get agoraphobia in one of the bathrooms.
Oh, right. We've got a joker on our hands.
Yeah, that's the spirit, mate.
Listen. Will you be doing the 'it was a huge shock' joke
in your speech or am I OK to just bang that one out?
Er...
I'm not gonna be making jokes in my eulogy for my wife.
Are you serious?
Gabe, I'm kidding around.
One of our family traditions is a kind of gallows humour.
We're gonna get through this.
And it's going to be fun.
Fine.
Not fun. Sorry.
It's going to be fine.
When I was a kid...
my mum got sick.
So, I spent a lot of time in hospitals.
Doctors were...
kinda my superheroes.
They couldn't save my mum
so I trained and I became a surgeon.
And that's when I met my real superhero...
"Liz."
Liz wasn't just my wife...
she was my soulmate.
I don't know.
I guess I focused too much on my career, huh.
Always...
living for tomorrow, never today.
Now there is no tomorrow and...
she left me everything she had but all I'm left with is just a...
(SIGHS)
a bunch of questions.
I wanted to give us a better life
so...
I went from the ER into plastic surgery.
(DUCKS QUACKING NOISILY)
She didn't totally agree with that, you know, hey.
But I thought...
I thought that we always told each other everything, you know?
Even though you kept this from me...
I got you home.
Did she ever talk about us?
I mean...
not really.
We were so close before I went to boarding school.
She wasn't the same when I returned.
Neither were you. You came back scared of the world.
She must have talked about me.
Where is she taking her?
To the Beaucroft family crypt.
It grows dark.
We should get inside.
You guys go ahead.
I need to take a moment here.
As you wish.
Do you think he knows?
He knows nothing, but that could change.
Maybe I-I should just go and shout for him to come back in?
You know, it is just such hesitancy in your nature
that has thus far deprived us of a male heir!
Leave him.
We'll let the house decide.
Ah, yes, really a good idea.
(GROWLING)
Elizabeth loved fireworks!
Whoo!
Yeaaahh.
Badgers? Yeah.
This sounded big!
And I saw a dead pig, er, hanging.
It-it had been cut open.
It had symbols on it.
(LAUGHTER) Really?
See, they're too tough if you don't hang them. Yeah.
The symbols are just farmers' herd marks.
You did that? Me?
Of course not. No. I have Miss Whitby do it.
Yeah, running this estate isn't like running some 'yee-haw titty bar'
down in 'Downtown California'.
(LAUGHS)
It's not glamorous, Mr Stark.
Hmm,
you have one more for the road, huh?
Before you leave tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
I gotta say...
I don't get it.
Someone's gotta tell me.
Why were you all so estranged from Liz?
I think you're owed an explanation.
Please follow me.
(LOUD BUZZER)
What a charming room of death.
So, Mr Stark, the truth.
Elizabeth was never estranged.
She abandoned us.
Left in the night without so much as a goodbye.
I mean, she was strong willed.
Ruthless when she needed to be
and a far better hunter than all her siblings.
Single-minded in pursuit of her prey.
Dumb animals, always oblivious.
But she was a vegan.
This is her gun.
She killed with it daily as a child.
You can see her personal crest on the stock there.
But she grew to despise privilege though.
You see, Elizabeth fetishised the poor.
Never more happy than among the servants
and their riff raff progeny.
Eventually, she rejected us totally and left.
Running away from who she truly was.
And you...
I'm sorry to say...
were merely the final prop...
in her charade.
Hey, could you please...
Christ.
Oh!
I didn't know it was loaded!
You sick twisted, geriatric fuck old bastard!
You shot me!
Nonsense!
It went off in my hand.
Oh my God!
The barrel exploded.
We gotta act fast or he's gonna bleed out.
Is this your finger?
I'm gonna need some towels!
Collect the rest of the fingers!
Shall I call the family doctor? No, there's no time!
That could have been your head.
Someone up there must like you.
You think?
Scissors.
Why do you have a supply of medical sedatives in the house?
Well, there's just lots of stuff left over from when Bertie was ill.
Ill with dementia?
Yes.
There.
Not gonna be the next Elton John but he'll keep his fingers.
Sorry, er,
are they all in the right place?
Yeah, yeah.
They just, er, they just need time to set in.
Is it done? Yeah.
Ah well, you saved his life, you swine.
I very nearly became the Baron!
Oh, no, he's like a cockroach.
You probably would have grown a brand-new hand,
wouldn't you, Uncle?
I did what I had to do.
I'll be leaving in the morning.
Well...
I guess this is it, huh?
Maybe I would have been better off not knowing the truth.
Even if I was just a...
'prop in your charade'.
There, you're restored.
(READS) I must go into the dark,
now sees your time in the sun...
what's rightfully ours has been hidden safe...
with the horned one.
Liz.
