How long have you known the deceased?

We came here to make a new start, remember?

Put all that bad stuff behind us.

Hi. Hi.

This is Becky. Becky's our wonderful new nanny.

Becky!

Something's not right in this house.

I am not my past.

You must be wondering what you've walked into.

Jake cheated on me in London and now I think he's doing it again.

He's always messaging someone.

I've seen the name come up. Mummy.

Can I get your number, so that I can book you again?

I've got a card. Thank you...

Ray.

Jesus, Anna, why are you so paranoid?

I haven't been taking my medication.

Let's move on, huh? Thank you.

I've got a plan. I'll talk Anna into moving to Australia,

and when she unravels again, and we know she will,

she'll have no hope of taking the kids back to the UK.

She'll be gone and we'll be together.

BABY (RES

Someone wants their brekkie.

No.

I might have to leave you here all day. Don't you even...! Ha—ha!

See ya.

Well, you're the evil temptress, aren't you?

Scrambled eggs with cream.

It's Jake's favourite.

He's never going to want to let you go at this rate.

Hello, my darling. Hello.

Has he been awake long? Oh, no, he only just got up.

Oh, and I let Grace get stuck into that box of your toys.

I hope that's OK.

These were Mummy's toys when she was a little girl.

Hey!

Quack, quack. That's Daddies the Duck.

Do you know, she was my favourite, too.

And I always hoped that I would have a little person

that I could share them with one day, and now I do.

Mummy, you're stinky.

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Well, if you've got everything sorted down here,

I might pop upstairs for a bit.

Yeah, we're good, aren't we?

Maybe don't serve me and Jake up just yet.

We might be some time.

Even in Australia, the drought's got to end sooner or later.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

Hey. How was the run?

Well, it's got the blood pumping, that's for sure.

Which is a very nice way to start the day.

Ah, yeah, it sounds like it.

Let me show you.

Oh, really?

Oh, wow, you're all sweaty.

Yeah, and you will be too in a minute.

Mm.

Oh.

I can't. I want to, just not this morning.

I've got a new client and barely even looked at the brief.

Well, erm, maybe we can make tonight an early one.

Now I won't be able to think about anything else all day.

Good.

Num, num, num, num.

Sorry.

Sorry, bubba.

Erm...

You know what we could do?

We could have a teddy bear picnic.

Ooh! That sounds fun.

You're smiling.

What did I miss? Oh, nothing. Yet!

But... tonight's the night.

Hey, maybe you can organise a special dinner for us?

Sure. Chocolate, oysters, Viagra in the soup.

Whatever works, I will try it. Yeah, that's fine.

God, listen to me oversharing again.

No, it's cool.

Do you know, I think it just feels like the fresh start

that I dreamed of.

I'm really happy for you, Anna.

Good luck with your meeting today.

Yeah. It's going to be a long one, I think. Tricky case.

All the more reason to have a lovely dinner waiting for you

when you get home. Oh, you're too good to me.

I am so sorry for everything that I've put you through.

Well...

line in the sand.

You can't beat yourself up forever. We're going to move on, right?

I want you to look at me the way you used to. Do you remember?

You said I was so beautiful that it took your breath away.

Yes, darling, you still do.

And I think that's the problem.

You're the one that's stopped seeing yourself that way. Yeah.

I think you're right.

I want to be that couple again.

This is what I'm telling you. We never stopped being them.

It's all good.

Same time this week.

Erm, sorry, next week, same day.

Thank you.

Morning. Phil. Yeah? Can we make some time to go through

the designs I did for the Westcott Group? Oh, yes, yes.

They would love to see a few more options.

Oh, what were the issues? Was it the colours? Or the fonts?

No, no, they love what you did. They just... They need...

They're hard to please.

Can I speak to someone? No, no, no, just play.

Have some fun. Now, if that's not a dream brief, I don't know what is.

I have to take this, but we can talk about this a bit later, OK?

It's great exercise. It really tones you up.

Are you saying I need to lose weight?

I'm saying Pilates is good for your health.

I keep fit. I like a bit of squash.

OK, now you're really sounding like an old man. Wow!

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

I feel like I could be organizing your afternoons a lot better.

No, it's all good.

It's my networking time.

I like to keep it... fluid.

Actually, you know what?

There is something you could do for me this afternoon. Yeah.

Would you mind documenting everything that happened

with Anna the other day?

I just... I really want her to get the help she needs.

Tell me if I'm out of line asking you this,

but are you considering a divorce?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you... No, no, it's OK. Erm...

Look, it would kill me to throw in the towel,

but if Anna's in a spiral and she's still not taking

the advice of her doctor, my hands are going to be tied.

That's when it really gets messy. We'd know better than anyone.

Kids have to come first.

You're a really good dad.

I try.

Yeah, I'll write a report of everything that happened. Thank you.

And hopefully it just sits in the drawer

and we never have to use it, right?

SOFT MUSIC AND BABY GIGGLES

Come on, little man.

Go to sleep, all right?

Yeah, you're a good boy.

Good boy. Come on.

You've got to go to sleep... Surprise.

Wow.

Are you not pleased to see me?

I don't want to tire you out.

Now, when has that ever been a problem?

OK, apparently you've got a big night planned with your wife.

Oh, my God.

She told you? Yeah. No, she told me.

She's probably out buying some sexy undies for you right now.

It's just talk. It's all for show.

She kept going on about how great things were

and how the drought was about to break.

You know, really fun stuff for me listen to. Come on.

You know I'm only going through the motions until we can be together.

Well, good.

I don't plan to share.

I just want to make that very clear.

You know, you're pretty cute when you're jealous.

SHE GIGGLES

You're enjoying this. No, I'm not. Yes, you are.

I have waited all morning for you to come home.

And I've been torturing myself with these ridiculous scenarios, OK?

So stop enjoying it. It's just the look on your face.

You're even more beautiful when you're worried.

Mm... Nice save.

Thanks.

When did you put him down?

Just now. Oh.

We'd better not waste any more time, then. Oh, is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

SHE LAUGHS What the hell is that?

It's yours. Mm.

MUSIC PLAYS

He's fine.

Relax. The monitor's on.

Me, on the other hand...

I think I've been really naughty.

♪ I want to feel it on my skin

♪ I want to wake that fire within

♪ Oh, come on

♪ Light the fire in me

♪ Come on

♪ Light the fire, light the fire in me

♪ Light the fire in me

♪ Light the fire in me. ♪

That was worth coming home for.

You know, eventually, you are going to have to spend a full day at work.

I have excellent time management.

I've got to go. Why? I've got to go.

He's fine. No. He's fine.

God. Really?

Really.

SHE CH UCKLES

Ollie.

Hi.

Jake! Help!

Where is he? The doctor's in with him now. He's going to be OK.

What happened? I'm so sorry.

Oliver will be all right, that's the main thing. Where is my son?

His obs look good, but we need to keep him

for a few more hours, just to make sure. Thank God.

You gave us a big scare, little man. It could have been a lot worse.

Obviously, we want to make sure something like this

doesn't happen again. Yeah, of course.

Babies shouldn't have anything loose in their cot.

No toys, no cords...

We are always so careful about that sort of thing.

It only takes one slip up, unfortunately.

What does she mean, one slip up? There was a toy in the cot.

It was your wooden duck.

Oliver got the cord tangled around his neck.

What was it doing in his cot? Becky thinks Gracie

must have put in there. A present for her little brother.

Didn't Becky see it? she was putting Oliver down to sleep.

Obviously not. Anna, I think we need to be reasonable here.

Our son could have died! But it wasn't intentional.

Accidents happen, don't they?

Where are you going?

Thank you.

I'm so sorry. How could you not see a toy in the cot?

I have no excuses. I'm just... Were you distracted?

Were you on your phone? And how did Grace even reach in?

Kids have ways, Anna. You can't have been watching her either.

We can talk about this later. Grace needs to be picked up from kinder.

Becky, if you come with me, I'll drop you both home. No! OK.

I don't want her anywhere near my children. She's clearly devastated.

You can see that. Why are you defending her?!

Right now I'm just trying to find solutions to immediate problems.

I'll get Grace, I'll drop them both home. I'll call Mum, OK?

She can supervise.

All right.

But I don't want her left unattended around my kids.

SIREN

Well, I'll pack up...

and I'll be out of the house before Anna gets home. No.

Ollie almost died.

I thought he was dead.

I'm never going to forget it. I can just see him lying there...

This is not your fault.

No, I dropped the toy in the cot, OK? Beck...

I put it in there. Beck. We were so busy fucking

that your baby almost strangled himself. OK, stop.

He's OK.

Beck, the kids need you in their lives.

Anna is way more of a danger to them than anyone.

Is she? Is she actually? We made a mistake.

It was a terrible mistake,

but it is nothing compared to her years of neglect. Beck, years.

Don't lose sight of the bigger picture, OK?

The reason we moved to Australia.

To give the kids a better future, away from her.

What happened today doesn't change that.

No.

She wants me out.

I heard her say it. Just leave Anna to me.

Come here.

Hello, my darling.

Grandma!

Ooh.

Oh, Grandma's got some yummy pasta ready for you.

Oliver's at the doctors. I know.

But they're looking after him and he'll be home real soon.

Now, do you want cheese on your pasta? Yes, please.

Maybe you could help me get that sorted.

How on earth did this happen? Anna gave the kids her old toys.

There was a wooden duck, made long before there were safety standards.

And she left it with Oliver? It wasn't intentional, Mum.

She was rushing to get to work. It was an oversight. An oversight?

How could she be so reckless?

Does she realise how serious this is? Of course. Of course she does.

Well, I'll make sure she does.

Hey, do not have a go at her, please.

My grandson's in the hospital.

I am not going to sit back and say nothing.

OK, everyone's upset, and you two getting into a fight

is not going to help. And the kids have been through enough.

So, please, please, just let it be.

Too forgiving of her.

I'm going to grab Oliver's blanket and head back to the hospital.

Hey. Hey.

The doctor needs to sign off before we're allowed to leave.

She should be here soon.

Well..

No rush.

It's not like he's unhappy.

He's already been through way too much for a little boy.

I had a word to Grace about putting toys in Oliver's cot.

I still don't know how she was even able to reach in. Me neither.

We'll have to take a look at the room.

I just... I don't want to make her feel worse by harping on it.

She's too young to understand.

Besides, this...

This isn't on her or Becky.

It's on me.

What?

I tore strips off Becky before I left the house.

I'd asked her to unpack all the boxes in the office

and she hadn't even made a start.

Well, what's that got to do with Oliver?

It's what she was doing this morning.

It's why she was so preoccupied.

My son could have died because I am too damn lazy

to sort out the office for myself. Hey.

That still doesn't make it your fault.

Well, I'd obviously scared her.

She was probably worried she'd lose her job.

Her job is to look after our children.

Why aren't you as angry as I am?

I thought you really liked her.

I do.

I mean, she's been very supportive of me.

But the bottom line is, I don't trust her any more.

I'm sorry...

but I want her gone.

Hi.

How's he doing? Doctor said he's going to be fine.

OK. Is there anything I can help with?

No.

I've put your duck on a high shelf.

Maybe it can go out in the next hard rubbish collection...

That's not something we need to think about tonight, Mum.

I'm going to put him to bed. Grace is already asleep.

I've, erm, got some dinner for you. I'll warm it up.

Sleep tight, darling.

Mummy won't let anybody hurt you, OK?

How did you get there so fast?

The hospital, when Oliver was first brought in.

I thought I told you. I had a meeting out this way.

Why did Becky call you and not me?

Erm, I don't know, Anna.

She probably panicked.

Does it really matter?

What happened to your tie?

Sorry?

Well, you had it on this morning, didn't you?

Well, I'm glad you were taking notice of the important things.

I don't know why you're being so defensive.

I'm not being defensive.

You make it sound like you're hiding something.

Oh, oh, oh, my God, we're not back to this, are we?

After everything we've been through today, now you're going to...

AUDIBLE THROUGH WALL: ..accuse me of, what,

being on with Caroline again? I'm curious, that's all.

Well, Jesus, I'd already told you how guilty I felt.

OK, fine, wow. I don't believe this.

When I saw my son lying in the hospital, I couldn't breathe.

The tie felt like a noose, so I got rid of it. Happy?

I don't want this to be a fight.

Well, then how about you stop accusing me of being up to no good?

I didn't. Jesus, Anna, is this how it's going to be?

You're going to second—guess everything I do?

Because the last time that happened, you almost killed our two kids.

Oh, you have been dying to throw that in my face all day.

Well, it happened.

Yes, and I haven't stopped tormenting myself since!

Well, then how about you stop being such a hypocrite?

You've got no right to judge Becky or anyone,

not when you've done ten times worse.

I asked you a question. Yeah, and I answered.

What happened to our fresh start? That was all just talk, was it?

No, no, no, it wasn't...

Jesus, Anna. I bend over backwards for you

and you keep hurling the same shit in my face. I've had enough!

LOUD THUD Ah!

WHISPERS: Anna?

Is everything OK with the kids?

Yeah.

I just wanted to be near them.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I know that you're probably sick of hearing me say it, but I am.

ANNA SIGHS

You know, I was the best parent in the world

until I actually had children.

But I had high standards for other people, let me tell you.

"Why do you bother having kids if you're just going to have a nanny?"

Cloth nappies. Organic food.

Definitely no dummies. God.

I cringe when I think about how...

judgmental I was.

I'm definitely in no position to be judging you.

No, I should have seen the toy in the cot.

You weren't expecting it to be there.

It's my job to keep your kids safe.

You didn't strap them into the back of a car

and drive so fast that you could have killed them.

Oliver was only...

only a couple of months old.

I'd worked myself into a state.

I'd convinced myself that Jake was, uh...

Oh, I don't know what I was thinking.

I grabbed the keys and I piled the kids into the back—seat,

and the next thing I knew, I'd crashed into the embankment.

The police said it was a miracle that nobody was harmed.

It sounds like you weren't well.

No. No, I wasn't.

When I used to hear other mums

banging on about post—natal depression...

I thought they were just looking for sympathy.

Karma's a bitch, isn't it?

I don't know why Jake puts up with me.

He's been so good to me and all I do is find fault.

I pushed him too far.

Same as I always do.

I don't want you to go.

Are you sure?

You made a mistake.

We can move past it.

BIRDSONG

I knew she'd come around.

She likes the idea of being hands on with the kids

until she actually has to do it.

Mm.

She had post—natal depression.

You know, she might not be over it.

Her issues are way bigger than that, Beck.

Yeah, but, like, shouldn't she be getting professional help now?

We're only wasting money until she admits the extent of her problems.

Trust me, we've been down this road a million times.

When she goes to a psychiatrist, she just sits there.

She doesn't say a word.

She thinks she has it under control, but she doesn't,

so the cycle just repeats itself over and over,

and it's the kids that cop the brunt.

It's actually going to take her losing them

for her to get the help she needs.

You know, I heard something crash last night.

Sorry?

Mm. I heard this, like, really loud thud coming from your bedroom.

And then I thought I heard Anna crying, as well. Yeah...

she must have fallen over, or something. I don't know.

I was brushing my teeth.

Oh, she is draining the life out of me.

I know that's an awful thing to say, but it's the truth.

Mm.

It's OK.

I wish I was the man that Anna needed me to be, but...

it's too much.

Do you think we're just on edge after everything that happened?

Maybe.

It won't be long now.

Yeah, how long are you thinking? Mm, it's hard to say.

Yeah, but is it, like, weeks, or is it, like, months?

We just need a little more documentation.

Hang in there, OK?

She'll trip up again and when she does,

we'll be there to catch her,

and the kids.

OK.

You've got to go to sleep, bubba.

Come on!

Oh, Grace!

Hey. Oh. Oh, sorry. Careful.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

What's up?

I was concentrating on Ollie and I wasn't watching.

I'm sorry... It's OK.

... thought she was still playing with the... Becky, it's OK.

Daddy, can you play with me?

Well, sure, sweetie.

Although some sea air would be nice, wouldn't it?

Well, I wouldn't say no if a restaurant reservation was included.

Well, I could easily make one for you and Becky.

You should go to the beach house, both of you.

Make a day of it. What about you?

Oh, it's been ages since I've had one—on—one time with the kids.

We can stay here and have fun, can't we, Gracie? Yay! Yeah.

Don't feel like you have to be stuck with me or anything.

Anna can't exactly get down there by herself.

That place reminds me of your mother.

Which is the whole point. She keeps saying we can do it up.

Yes, to her specification.

No, no, she's given us free rein.

Mum never goes down there any more, anyway. Too many memories.

Well, could be fun.

I'm keen if you are.

Count me in. Perfect.

OK, well, I'll get a shower and then we can be on our way.

COOL

You are too good for me.

Um, what the hell?

You two are on eggshells around each other.

Yeah, but how is a day at your holiday house going to help?

Well, it'll give you two a chance to bond.

Really win back her trust.

Oh, you know what?

You should come up with some ideas for the house, too. Me? Yeah.

You'll be the one redecorating it, not Anna.

It'll all be yours soon enough.

Think about that on the drive in.

Even smells of Cynthia in here.

THEY LAUGH

Here, we should open the doors.

Burn sage in every room, more like.

It's a great house, though.

Oh, my God, look at this view!

BEEPING

Oh.

Don't worry, it's just, ah, alarm reminding me to take my pills.

I keep forgetting, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Are they for your post—natal depression?

They're for all my issues.

The doctor assures me that they'll keep me on an even keel.

Mm. It must be good to talk to someone, like a professional.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

But I get in there and I just...

I don't know what to say. I just clam up.

I hate that I can't even make therapy work for me.

Maybe you just need someone different.

Jake thinks it's just money down the drain

and I am starting to think that he might be right.

Oh... Are you all right?

Yeah, fine.

It's just stuffy in here, isn't it?

Mm.

Oh...

It must be off at the fuse. This has happened before.

I can check. Is there a box somewhere?

Oh, thank you.

Yes, go down to the left of the pool down the stairs,

and it's in the shed in front of you.

OK, cool.

PHONE VIBRATES

SHE SIGHS

Oh.

KEYS JINGLE

Hi. Ah, it's locked.

Is there a key anywhere?

Ah, yeah, I forgot to tell you.

It's in the bird feeder above the door.

OK, thanks.

SHE KNOCKS Yes?

I emailed some more designs.

Did you look at them yet?

Yeah. They are wonderful. Great!

So should we set up a meeting for feedback?

Look, uh, thing is,

they are probably going to get put on the back burner. OK.

It happens all the time.

PHONE RINGS You know, we do all the hard work,

and then they just give us the run around. Sorry.

Yes?

Yeah, I need it Thursday.

Yeah, I know, it's... Yeah... Well, too bad. It has to be Thursday.

I'm starting to feel like I'm working on a phantom account.

The Westcott Group, they are on the books?

Yeah. They are a client?

Yeah, they're for real.

But they haven't commissioned anything in ages.

Is there enough work for me to be here?

Pavan, you know my husband and Phil are old uni mates

but that shouldn't stop you giving it to me straight.

I didn't come on board to be decoration.

The thing is, four people were let off only a couple of months ago,

and people weren't happy when we heard you were coming on board.

But Phil said you were only here on contract.

A short—term contract?

Yeah.

SHE SIGHS

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Oh, yeah, Oliver's doing really well.

Yeah, of course.

Do you want me to bring him in, too?

Was there a problem with the paperwork?

We haven't been in Australia very long,

but my husband said that the Medicare was all sorted.

There's no issues with that.

I thought we could have a chat about how things are going at home.

Can I get you some water?

I'm fine, thanks.

And Oliver's fine, too.

He's eating well, and he's sleeping well.

And how are you doing, Anna?

Obviously, I panicked at the time.

What parent wouldn't?

But there's no point tormenting yourself over what might have been.

It's not about tormenting anyone.

Certainly, from our point of view,

it's about taking steps to make sure your family's supported.

What support do you think we need?

I've only got some of your history,

but it's fair to say you've been under some pressure.

I'm sorry.

My history?

No—one's making any accusations, Anna.

Like I said, we're looking for ways that we can help.

I don't need your help.

I wasn't even at home when it happened.

But you gave your son the toy?

I gave it to my daughter.

I didn't know that she was going to put it in Oliver's cot.

Who told you this?

We just want to make sure

that you're aware of the resources available to you.

PHONE RINGS

Did my husband say this to Doctor Lee?

I believe he told the paramedics at the house.

The house?

He took them through the whole thing when he showed them the cot.

And does it say anything about our nanny?

There's a note here.

She was very distressed.

But your husband did a great job of comforting her.

Anna, we just want to help you.

Maybe just take a read of these.

Ray, ah, stop here, please.

I can take you up to the house.

No, just stop.

I have to figure out what they're planning.

I have to be smarter than them.

Is there anything that your husband can use against you?

I don't want you to feel like this is

a situation that you can't get out of.

Do you ever think that he could really lose it?

What are you doing?

Stop... Stop!

Oh, God, what if she tells the cops?

Can you help me?

Cut the bullshit.

This is so messed up.
