How long have you known the deceased?

I have to be smarter than them.

Thank you for looking after me.

How did you get that?

I have to be so careful around him, Becky.

I would never hit a woman.

Are you with me or not? I am.

gave her an out, but she chose him.

You need to take control of your future.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

I am not going to let them take my children.

I need to set up a safe house.

>You can come with us.

I need you to help me set it up.

If she takes the kids without my permission, that's abduction.

This is exactly what we've been waiting for.

Forgive the mess.

One container load and we're still unpacking.

Oh, it's a big move.

Thank you.

Throw in a five-year-old and a toddler,

and it is madness.

Hey, I'm Jake. Hi.

Oh, I just assumed that you'd be British too.

Nope, Melbourne boy. Oh, so you've moved the family back home.

Oh, it's all I've heard for years. Australia this, Australia that.

Yeah. We like to think we're pretty special.

And you are. No, it's, erm, it's good to be here.

Thanks for sending this through.

I've been looking after kids since high school.

You guys will be my fourth family.

If I get the job, of course.

Most recently working for the McEwans in...

Warrna... Warrnambool. Ah.

Cathy said she spoke to one of you? Yeah, that was me.

I may have slightly cross-examined her.

Occupational hazard.

Lawyer.

Well, you should ask questions.

Looking after kids is the most important job in the world.

And you must be anxious about going back to work, too.

I assure you,

I don't take the responsibility lightly at all.

I think you should meet Grace and Oliver.

Did you get in OK? Yeah.

I put all the boxes in the living area, like you said.

Oh.

And?It's nice.

It's cosy.

It's the best I could do at short notice and on a budget.

I want you to think of it as your home, too.

You're not having doubts, are you?

I just don't want to let you down.

Do you think Jake has any inkling?

Not at all. Then there's nothing to worry about.

We'll move all your stuff over tomorrow when Jake's at work.

If you think that's best.

And then Saturday we'll make the final move.

I'll make sure Jake's not home.

Thank you.

I won't forget what you've done for me.

I see Gracie's glued to the iPad again.

Oh, I'm listening out for them.

I think you should go to the beach house.

Have a look at some of my ideas for the redecoration.

Sure. What about Saturday?

I'd like to get the designer started ASAP.

I would go too, except I've promised the kids

I'll take them to that Mexican street fair.

Gracie's excited.

She's been learning about different cultures in kindy.

Ah, it's good stuff.

And besides, you'll be more objective without me there.

You could take the sports car. It needs a run.

It's a hell of an idea.

Hey.

How's it going to work?

On Saturday. Just...talk to me.

I'll go to the beach house, like she asked.

I'll come home later. You'll all be gone.

I'll wait a few hours, long enough to become worried.

Then I'll go to a station.

I'll call you,

and that's when you'll say she's taken the kids.

And maybe I'll put you on speaker. The police can hear the whole thing.

And what exactly will I say?

That she's stolen them. That...

she's dragged you into her crazy plan. She's lost the plot.

SCOFFS Bec, I'm not asking you to lie.

This is what she's doing, right? Yeah, but if the abuse comes up,

I have to say that I've seen her self-harm.

Yes. Yes, Bec, you have to.

You have to protect me from her sick games.

I mean, that's what we agreed on, right?

Yeah, we...

BECKY SIGHS I'm just scared.

I'm scared that something's going to stuff up.

It's OK.

You look so beautiful right now.

You take my breath away, Bec.

Same way you did the first day I saw you.

I'm going to bed.

You going somewhere?

Don't ask.

Not looking after the kids today?

Just...not now, OK?

Excuse me for being worried about you.

No, you're right.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It's really nice that you care.

I'm not really sure why you do, but it's nice.

BECKY SIGHS I'm a nice guy.

You are a nice guy.

SHE SIGHS

Oh, sorry. It's all right.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

You said he's got a plan? Jake?

Yeah.

SHE SNIFFLES

It's like...

Like one minute,

I think that everything's going to be fine.

And then the next minute, it's like the most messed-up thing ever.

What category does the red rope fall into?

Mm.

Oh, he's got a kinky side.

I figured that. Are you cool with it?

I was in the beginning.

It might've gone a bit far lately.

The tying you up part?

Or getting you wasted when you should be looking after the kids?

Both.

It seems to me like he's got all the power.

No... And maybe you're in over your head.

It's not like that.

Then why are you going along with it?

If you're so unhappy, the least you can do is just move out.

I can't.

Get your own place.

No, it's, it's not really an option for me.

Because he won't let you? No, because...

SHE SIGHS

..I don't have anywhere else to go.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

SHE SNIFFLES

Sorry. Sorry. Oh.

Whatever his plan is,

it's only going to get messier.

He's always going to have a wife, or an ex-wife.

SHE SNIFFLES

I know.

And if he doesn't respect you now,

what he's doing to Anna,

how do you know he's not going to do that to you, too?

Ow! Hey!

Don't sneak up on me like that. The door was open.

What are you even doing here?

Wanted to see it for myself.

Boy, she's really got you slumming it, huh?

It's not funny. It's a little bit funny.

It's not.

I've had to unpack all of my things.

You've got me pretending like I'm going to be living here as well.

Do I even unpack?

You know, what if I don't, and she checks,

and then she knows I'm not on side? Because she will.

You might be overthinking it, Bec.

Am I? I don't...

I don't feel like I am.

HE SIGHS

How do I know this is all going to work out for me?

Bec, we've been through...

Do you respect me?

Wow.

Where is, where is that coming from?

I need to know that I am not just the nanny who gave you a good time.

Or the girl who helped you get rid of your wife... Stop.

HE SCOFFS

Close your eyes. Jake, I...

Bec, just, just, come on, close your eyes, please?

Go on, you can do it.

OK. Thank you.

Well, this is definitely not the way I planned it, but here we go.

I want you to imagine a tropical beach,

white sand, crystal blue water.

Our favourite crisps flown in from the other side of the world.

OK, open them.

I've been carrying it around, trying to find the right moment. I guess...

now is as good as any.

I don't want you to ever doubt my love for you, Bec.

Or my respect.

Are you serious? Very serious.

Very serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Soon as we can, I want you to be my wife.

So, Becky Hart,

will you marry me, or what?

CHUCKLES SOFTLY Yes.

Thank God for that. BECKY GIGGLES

Er, a flying lemon?

No.

A piece of cheese? No.

Well, I... I give up.

It's a bumblebee.

Oh. I zzzzee him now.

Oop, he's on your nose! Daddy!

Oop! Zzzz! Ugh, he's on me now!

Daddy! Hold still, he's gone behind your ear.

Don't move.

See? It was a piece of cheese.

Still on for the Mexican festival?

Yeah.

You still good for the beach house?

Looking forward to it.

Are you clocking off? Got my cousin's wedding, remember?

Oh, that's right. Enjoy.

Hey.

Er, there's a slight change of plan.

I want you to wait a little while and then go after him.

Why? Just tell him that I forgot to give him the paint charts.

I-I've got some inside.

Why do you want me to do that?

Because it's going to take me a while to pack.

I don't want him to come back before I'm done.

Keep him occupied until, say, 2pm?

Challenge my ideas.

Do whatever.

And then meet me at the apartment.

Can you do that for me, Becky?

Please?

Thank you.

I'll go and get the paint charts.

SHE SIGHS

What's going on?

SHE SIGHS

Nothing.

It'll all be over soon.

Hi!

SHE GIGGLES

Couldn't resist. Mmm.

If she's going to force you to drive down here,

we should at least take advantage of it.

Well, she is paranoid about you busting her.

Ah, she's unravelling, like I knew she would.

How were the kids?

Oblivious to it all, I think.

Mm. Thank God they'll be away from her soon.

No. No, I shouldn't.

It's hours until you have to meet her.

No, I've still got to get all the way across town.

Just one glass.

We haven't officially celebrated our engagement yet.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

OK. GIGGLES

Did you bring it?

I did.

Oh... INHALES

Hey! Who said I'm changing my name?

Oh. Hmm? My bad.

But for now, let's, erm, let's pretend it's,

what do you reckon, six months from now? Mmm.

We're in our beach house, designed to your specifications.

Sure.

And the only thing we have to do is be together.

OK.

Thanks for coming over.

Oh, it was nice to hear from you.

Grace is so excited about the fair.

I can't believe I double-booked myself.

You know, she wants to see all of the performances.

HE CHUCKLES

And of course, I wanted to see you one last time,

before you move to Auckland. I've been wondering how you were.

I'm good.

Taking control of my future, like you told me to. Hm.

This'll be good practice for those grandkids of yours.

You will be joining us later? Absolutely.

Hey, little Grace.

This is Ray.

He's been a very good friend to Mummy. Hello.

BABY CRIES Hello, Grace.

Oh, I have put him down. It's all right.

I've packed an extra bottle, just in case you need it.

Now, listen, remember our deal?

I have to go and convince the police that she's abducted your kids.

Which she is. I have to keep my head about me,

and you're fucking drugging me. Christ.

I can't do this. You're making too much of this.

I don't think so. SHE GRUNTS

Anna?

Goodbye, Becky.

SNIFFLES Have you had a good day?

You remember our little secret?

We don't tell anyone about Ray.

Good girl.

Now we get to eat all of these.

Thanks, Marge. You're a gem.

I'm sure everything's fine, but if you could double check.

There you are!

Hello. Hello, my darling.

You didn't have to come all the way over.

Any excuse to see my grandchildren.

And you did sound worried.

SIGHS Strange, isn't it?

I mean, he always picks up his phone.

Well, that was the neighbour. She was knocking on his front door.

I'm sure she'll call us back.

And then I will feel very stupid for making so much fuss, no doubt.

So, what's all this?

Oh, Becky's out.

I took the children to the fair.

You drove?

Well, it was close by.

And it was time.

Oliver's napping.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS Sensory overload.

This is Marge now. Hello, dear.

Does my son have a good explanation for giving his wife a scare?

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

It must have been some kind of robbery.

There was no sign of forced entry.

Well, of course not, my son was there.

He must have opened the door to whoever did this.

Somebody connected to his business.

I always said it was a dangerous one. I said it. I did.

Did your husband plan to meet anyone at the beach house?

Erm, no.

Well, there was a bottle of champagne and two glasses.

Any idea who he met with?

You're asking me do I know if my husband was having an affair?

Oh, Anna! Well, this wasn't a robbery that went wrong.

It wasn't a thief that poured him a drink

and handcuffed him and tossed him into a pool!

That is what you're saying, isn't it?

Well, there was also evidence of drugs at the scene.

Drugs?!

Forensics will tell us more, but, yeah.

Er, the security camera footage just came through.

There were two angles.

I'm wondering if you recognise this person?

SHE GASPS

Oh, my... Come on.

Mummy!

Anna, we're going to need to ask you some more questions.

Thanks.

Grace?

Grace.

She keeps asking for Mummy.

What do I tell her? What can I possibly say?

I thought things would be better with someone in the house.

Where's Anna?

Hello, Becky.

I'm Senior Detective Taormina.

I really need to speak with her.

Does she know that Jake's... RECORDER BEEPS

Interview commences 9.15pm.

I just have to confirm that you've waived your right to a lawyer.

No, I don't need a lawyer.

I just need to know what happened.

Did he take more drugs?

TAORMINA SIGHS

Becky,

how long have you known the deceased?

Six, seven months? Yeah.

So, you met before he and his wife moved to Australia?

I need you to respond verbally.

Yes. We, we met in London.

And how would you describe the nature of your relationship?

We were in love.

So, you were having an affair?

Yep. Yeah, he... Yeah.

Did his wife Anna have any knowledge of this relationship?

No.

Becky, what were you doing at the beach house today?

Becky?

I think that we should wait,

and we should talk about this with Anna in the room.

We're interviewing Mrs Fallmont.

So, you know about the abuse?

Jake was abusing you? No.

Well...yes, but I'm talking about the way that he was hurting her.

She's told you, right?

Jake would never lay a finger on me.

My marriage wasn't perfect.

Clearly it wasn't.

Any idea why Becky would say that?

No. She also claims that you asked her to set up an apartment,

like a safe house.

A safe what?

That you were preparing to take the kids there?

That you asked her to keep Jake occupied?

I'm sorry. SCOFFS

I'm sorry,

she's suggesting I instructed her to have sex with my husband

while I move into an apartment that I've never heard of?

How many drugs did they take?

Just to be clear,

you were helping Anna, or Jake?

Well, Jake, initially.

He said that Anna was lying about the abuse,

and he convinced me.

So why were you helping Anna to set up the apartment?

Jake had this idea...

..that he could use it against her,

and say that she was kidnapping the kids.

So you could be together?

I'm not proud of it.

And I should've put a stop to it before today.

Becky, you told Officer Garrison

that you caught Jake spiking your drink with GHB.

Yeah. I was furious.

And then he grabbed me here.

It's like he was possessed.

Like a completely different person just switched in.

You know, and then I started thinking,

maybe Anna's telling the truth?

Maybe Jake is dangerous.

You made a phone call within a minute of leaving the beach house.

In that message, you repeated,

"It's not all right. It's not all right."

What did you mean?

That it wasn't.

LIAM: I think she was just caught in a bad situation.

Mm.

What did she tell you about the relationship?

I had to drag it out of her.

But she wasn't cool with the drugs, or the sex.

The sex?

He was into kinky stuff.

Tying her up. Right.

Did you get the impression that she was scared of him?

Liam?

She did once ask if I thought he could be violent.

You said you saw her this morning before she left the house.

Did she say anything then?

Just that...

..it would all be over soon.

I was referring to Jake's plan,

which I was obviously having doubts about.

She is a pathological liar.

She comes into my home and seduces my husband!

You can't believe a word that comes out of her mouth.

Becky, we contacted the owner of the apartment.

It was an Airbnb in Jake's name.

That doesn't make any sense.

We were about to redecorate the beach house.

I guess he couldn't take her there anymore.

Maybe they needed somewhere else to go.

Look, she was going to live there.

I moved all of her things.

You can check the boxes. They're there.

What boxes?

Anna can clear all of this up.

OK? All of it.

You've got to let me see her.

Please.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Anna.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I knew they were together.

She told you?

Not exactly. I figured it out.

Erm, did Becky say anything to you about me?

About our conversations?

Not much.

The thing is, I could have stopped this if I came forward sooner.

How? I hate telling you, but you're going to find out anyway.

What are you trying to say?

The way I knew they were together.

It was the GHB.

It was mine.

I know. It was only for my own use.

Jake busted me storing it in the shed.

He said I could keep doing it if I gave him some.

The other day, I saw Becky and she was really out of it,

I put two and two together. I made the connection.

I see. I knew she was in over her head.

I told her to leave him.

I think that's what she finally did yesterday.

Are you suggesting that she planned this?

Maybe.

Have you told that to the police?

I liked Becky.

But I couldn't have that on my conscience.

I'm so, so sorry.

Thank you, Liam.

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Why can't I talk to Anna?

I just, I really need to speak to her...

Interview recommences at 7.15am.

BECKY EXHALES DEEPLY

Becky, does that ring belong to you?

It did.

Forensics recovered traces of Jake's blood on the stone.

Yeah. It scratched him, and he was bleeding.

Why didn't you tell us this earlier?

I don't, I don't fucking know. I...

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

I don't understand what it has to do with anything.

If it was in self-defence,

it would be in your best interests to tell us that now.

What, do you think I'm some kind of suspect?

Is that why you won't let me leave?

PAGE CLEARS THROAT

Jake died after drowning, after an overdose of GHB.

He was wearing these.

I don't understand.

Well, you admitted to arguing.

Did it get out of hand? Did the sex go too far?

Yeah. No, it did,

but we didn't even bring these with us.

Did this come off your wrist when you pushed him into the pool?

No.

Did you panic?

Did you go to the family home to pick up your things?

No. Did you then continue on to the apartment

to gather up the rest of your belongings?

I told you, I, erm,

I went to meet Anna.

When the officers got there,

you were in the process of leaving, Becky. Where were you going?

SIGHS I don't know. I...

I didn't have a plan.

Well, Anna denies ever saying that Jake was abusive,

or of asking you to help her to leave him.

But she did. She also... She did.

She also denies any knowledge of an apartment.

This is what we found in the boxes.

We also found items hidden in your bedroom at the family home,

purchased at the same online shop.

Yeah, well, Jake...

Jake bought them for us, but I...

I've never seen these before.

Did you want out of the relationship, Becky?

Well, if you tell the truth, we might be able to reduce the charges.

What are you talking about?

QUIETLY: No.

BECKY BREATHES SHAKILY

OK. No, no, no, you...

You have to listen to me, OK?

You have to listen to me. She's done this.

Well, I'm surprised you came.

When you couldn't even look me in the eye in court.

Not once.

I think you can understand my focus had to be on the children.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, your children.

The children whose father you took away from them.

Would you rather they'd lost their mother?

I'd rather that I wasn't in here

serving time for something you did.

BECKY CHUCKLES

Did you know that Jake was tampering with my medication?

I only realised when I was throwing it out.

He was mixing three different kinds together

and for all I knew, he was doing it back in London, too.

He wanted to drive me crazy, Becky.

I think we can both agree, he succeeded.

So that's your justification for framing me?

Hmm? ANNA SIGHS

We all thought it would be deemed an accident.

SHE SIGHS

Liam's evidence really changed things.

Established your intent.

My intent?

Your motive.

Throw in a prosecutor looking to make a name for themselves...

OK, so you want to blame this on Liam and the prosecutor?

BECKY SCOFFS Yeah,

whatever helps you sleep at night.

Jesus Christ.

Do you know, wh...

When you came into my home...

SIGHS ..I felt so, er, relieved.

I finally had someone to talk to.

I'm not proud of the way I behaved.

And yet you still chose to sleep with my husband.

I figured out that he wasn't a good guy.

OK? I was going to do the right thing in the end.

You do realise that, don't you?

I only have your word for that, Becky.

BECKY SIGHS

It didn't have to end like this.

OK, look. Just one more thing.

Your bruises.

I know that he was capable,

but did he really hurt you?

Abuse comes in many different forms.

Whether it's physical or psychological, it is just as bad.

No woman should ever stand for that.

Now, five years is a long time.

But it is nothing compared to a lifetime with Jake.

And we're both free of that now.
