Original subtitles

How long have you known the deceased?

This is Becky.

Becky is our wonderful new nanny.

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

I've got a card.

Thank you.

Ray.

Jake, help!

How could you not see a toy in the cot?

We were so busy that your baby

almost strangled himself... OK, stop.

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

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

so fast that you could have killed them.

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

not when you've done ten times worse.

THUD

She'll trip up again, and when she does, we'll be there to catch her.

Mummy won't let anybody hurt you.

You're OK. Look how fast I can go.

It's OK. Keep running around.

And if you just pull that trigger...

Oh, good boy.

Good boy. You're OK.

Is it working?

It's been going on since London.

I thought maybe they just hooked up,

maybe he saw her and he just couldn't help himself.

But no, no, no, no, they've been together for months.

She was the woman that he was with back home.

I wasn't crazy.

It was her, all along.

Why didn't you confront your husband?

I have to figure out what they're planning.

"Move to Melbourne. It will be good for us."

"You can get your career back."

"Hire a nanny."

Oh!

It's all so deceptive.

I have to be smarter than them.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs...

Anna.

It's just Anna.

All right, Anna.

Are you and your husband currently separated?

It's complicated.

Mm.

He's a lawyer, too.

That's why I'd rather not give too many details.

All right.

Now, you're obviously not local.

We emigrated two months ago.

My husband is Australian.

The kids are British, five and ten months.

So, dual citizens?

They're dual.

I'm on a spouse visa.

The move happened quickly.

He said that was the best thing for me for now.

Will I be able to take the children back to the UK?

You're seeking sole custody?

Well, the courts usually favour the mother, right?

It depends on the circumstances.

If he remains here,

you're effectively moving the children to another country.

Their home country.

He can argue that you're creating a situation in which he would

not have access to...

He has created the situation.

In any case, we would need to prove that the children are better off

with you and not your husband.

Our son could have died the other day under his care.

Is there a report of this incident, with the police, or...?

There is, yes, with the hospital.

Good.

They somehow made it look like I was to blame.

They?

He's fucking our nanny.

Please just tell me what I have to do.

Is there anything else that has been documented?

Anything that your husband can use against you,

besides what happened the other day?

Jesus.

Thought you were jogging.

You all right?

No.

Tummy bug.

Must be going round the office.

Think I'll stay home today.

OK.

Can Phil afford to lose you?

Well, I think he can manage.

Can you pass me the water?

Yeah, sure.

You, ah, you doing OK with those?

It's not some sort of reaction?

It's not these.

Thank you for looking after me.

I don't know, she says it's some kind of stomach bug.

Mm, well, I guess it wouldn't kill you to spend a full day at work.

You're killing me right now.

Good morning.

You're not feeling well?

No.

Lots of rest.

Plenty of fluids.

Make sure you eat something, OK?

I'll check on you later.

Apparently, I'm part of the family now.

It's very nice of Grace to put me in the middle.

I've always wondered what I'd look like with purple hair.

Is it all right to stick it there?

Of course.

You are part of the family.

Whoa.

You're really not well.

Here, let me do that.

No, it's OK.

It's OK.

I still have a few minutes till it...

How did you get that?

Anna? I'm fine.

No, you're not.

What happened?

I guess you heard us arguing the other night?

It's a wonder we didn't wake the kids up.

He just gets so angry.

Sorry...

are you saying Jake did this?

I'll get Oliver.

You take Grace to kind y.

I was going to ask if I should throw that out.

I know it's from your childhood so I didn't know if...

I'll get rid of it.

Ah, what you said before, aboutjake.

I'm not really sure that I understood.

I shouldn't be dragging you into this.

Years ago, I must have been about your age,

I remember seeing this documentary about abused women.

And I remember thinking to myself, "How could anyone let that happen?"

You know, how could your self—esteem be so low?

You never think it's going to happen to you.

But then admitting it and saying the words out loud to someone,

that's not easy, either.

Yeah, but Jake, I mean, he doesn't really seem like...

Yeah, like the type? Yeah.

For the first few years, he wasn't.

Things were amazing.

He made me feel like I'd never felt before.

I know what you're thinking.

How can I stay with him?

He can be so charming.

When he puts his arms around me

and he tells me that he's sorry.

Then he leads me up to the bedroom.

It can be intoxicating, you know.

The sex.

I'm ashamed to say it but it gets me each and every time.

I have to be so careful around him, Becky.

And now that you're in the house...

I need you to be careful too.

Liam?

What are you doing?

Hi.

Hi.

I wasn't sure if you were done for the day.

About to go.

OK.

Aren't you missing something? About this big, cries a lot?

Yeah. No, he's up at the house.

Anna didn't go into work.

So, I've been thinking about what you said to me,

the day that I moved in.

My friendly warning, which you clearly ignored.

Yes.

And I was wanting to know a bit more about it, if that's OK.

You live with them.

You probably know more than me.

Yeah, you'd think that, right?

I don't know.

It's like when you're in the middle of something,

it's really hard to keep perspective, you know.

OK, so you said Anna was highly strung,

but you didn't say anything aboutjake.

He seems pretty laid—back, except for when he's around her.

Yeah, I know.

I know. I just...

I feel like there's two sides to every story.

Always. Mm.

OK, so Jake's side...

do you ever think that he could really lose it?

Like lose his temper?

Has something else happened?

No.

No, I'm just...

I'm just trying to figure out their situation.

You know, so I can better support them.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

No, it's fine.

Whatever's going on, if it's making you feel uncomfortable,

you shouldn't stay.

No job's worth that.

Honestly, I was just asking.

I was curious.

Never mind.

Also, if you don't want people going in your shed,

just shut the door, mate.

See you.

Yeah.

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Ah.

Glad to see you're feeling better.

Thanks.

Hey, so, I don't have to tell you that these guys

get a bad rap these days.

Everybody wants no sugar, low this, low that.

And they are changing their name.

What to?

Ah, not sure. They are currently working on a new menu,

but they want to go in a healthier direction.

So, you want me to design a logo for a company that doesn't know

what it's going to call itself?

We really want to land this account.

It sounds like a task you'd give to somebody

when you have nothing else for them to do.

Leave it with me.

Great. Thanks.

Oh, again!

Just like the old days, huh?

I didn't win a set.

Yeah, just like the old days.

Oh, how does get fucked sound?

Cheers.

Cheers, mate.

Hey, ah, I think, I think Anna might be cottoning on.

No, about the job, not about Becky.

Right.

Well, it won't be for much longer.

Still think it's a good idea, me keeping her on?

What choice do I have?

Can't have her in the house.

I'd love to divorce now,

but it'll be obvious I only moved her over to get the kids here.

Is that going to change in a couple of months?

That's the advice. Get the kids settled.

Show I've tried to help Anna.

And I have.

Mate, I know.

You've got the patience of a saint.

You think you can come up with a few more things for her to do?

Keep her occupied a while longer?

Yeah, mate, of course I can.

You know, after everything you've done for me, yeah, I can do that.

Yeah.

You know what? Bugger the beers.

Let's have one more set.

Shouldn't take too long.

Hey, don't touch my butt.

Precious goods.

Double or nothing.

OK.

Prepare to be humiliated.

You want to play left or right—handed?

Night.

Night.

Becky.

What I told you, you haven't said anything to Jake, have you?

No.

Oh, good.

God, he'd be so angry with me if he knew I'd been talking to you.

And he's... he's already in a bit of a mood.

I don't want to make him worse.

Night—night. Night.

Of course he did.

It wasn't like that.

Straight on the phone.

Gave you a full report.

He's concerned about you, Anna.

Concerned?

Yes, your whole attitude, it's completely off.

And what should my attitude be? Please, please, tell me?

Well, can you at least pretend to be grateful?

Grateful for what?

That your old mate Phil has given me a phoney job?

It's an opportunity and you're stuffing it up!

The way I always stuff things up!

IS that it?

Oh, just pull your head in!

THUD

You OK?

Mm—hm.

Yeah.

I just didn't sleep very well last night.

Well, then sleep in, beauty.

PHONE RINGS

Anna.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm just checking in.

How are the kids?

Yeah, good.

Grace couldn't run into kind y fast enough, and I just put Ollie down.

I'm not just checking in on them. I...

I wanted to apologise for last night.

I was so annoyed with Phil.

Jake did his usual job of defending him.

You must have heard us going at it.

Oh, no, I was pretty tired.

Well, obviously, I have some tough decisions to make,

but I don't want you to feel that your future isn't important, too.

Sorry?

Well, it must be playing on your mind,

being in the house while all of this is going on.

Yeah, a bit.

You must be thinking about Jake, too?

Maybe even feeling a bit scared yourself.

Becky?

Um, I'm just trying to figure things out.

This shouldn't be on you.

I don't want you to feel like this is

a situation that you can't get out of.

If you want to quit, Becky, I will understand, OK?

And if you're worried about leaving while Jake is in the house,

then don't be.

You know, you can just go one day while he's at work.

You can...

you can leave and you will never have to see him again.

Becky?

Sorry. Um...

I think I hear Ollie waking.

Just think very hard about what I have just said.

OK.

CARTOON NOISES FROM TV

Oh, thank God for cartoons, huh?

They never get old.

So, how was work?

Good.

I apologised to Phil for being so high maintenance.

Well, that's something.

I think we should give him another bottle of wine.

He liked the Cab Sav.

Would we miss that Merlot, the '99 that your cousin got us

for our wedding?

The Porter Hill?

It's a bit exxy, don't you think?

You did say I should be more grateful.

Did I?

Becky?

Would you mind nipping down to the cellar and having a look for it?

I unpacked it, I think.

Yeah. Of course.

Why don't you go upstairs, have a bath, relax.

I'll do dinner, watch the kids.

Sure.

Was it a Cab Sav or Merlot?

I think it was a Merlot.

Porter Hill Merlot.

Bec.

This could be a lot better organised, huh?

Becky.

Hey, look at me.

What's going on?

Was it some kind of accident?

What are you talking about?

Because I know that you would never hurt anyone.

Not intentionally.

And I just need you to tell me so that I can understand,

or I can try to understand.

Understand...

Anna showed me her bruise.

What the fuck?

What, she said I hit her?

Oh, my fucking God.

No way, Bec.

I never laid a hand on her.

The other night in your room, you said that she fell over.

Yeah, she must have.

Yeah, but there's been other times as well, OK?

Well, how the fuck would I know what she's doing?

That's why you've been weird with me? You...

What, you think I'm some kind of wife basher?

No. Well, yeah.

No, I have. I've... I've been shocked, OK?

And I just need to hear your side of the story...

Well, hear this. I would never hit a woman.

Never.

I thought you knew me better than that.

I do...

Really? Because you're looking at me like I'm some kind of monster.

Why would she lie?

Why? Because she's crazy.

That's why, this is what she does.

She makes shit up! She's gone and thrown herself on the floor

or God knows what and now she's got you believing it.

Oh, God, what if she tells the cops?

I won't have a hope in hell of getting the kids.

That's the way it goes these days.

Wow, she's more unstable and dangerous than I thought.

Do you see this?

This is exactly why I have to get the kids away from her.

You will. Hey, we will. It's the reason...

Yeah, you know what, Bec, if you're having doubts...

I'm not. I'm not, OK?

I'm with you.

But for you to even consider that I would do something that cowardly,

that horrible, it's like you don't even know me at all.

Are you with me or not?

I am.

I am, OK? She's a liar.

Maybe it's the meds.

She gets this way if she doesn't take them correctly.

Just totally unpredictable.

I mean, these injuries she's inflicting on herself.

We need to make sure she's not showing anyone else.

Why don't you just file for a divorce now?

Or separate, at least?

Bec, you know we can't do that, especially not now.

It's too risky.

We have to keep building our case.

The one thing we've got going for us is that she trusts you.

This is so messed up.

You just need to keep taking care of Grace and Oliver, Bec.

Protect them from her.

Protect me.

Bec?

It's not how I thought it would be.

I mean, I don't know how I thought this would be,

but it's not this.

We have to see this through.

Yeah, it's easier for you.

You go off to work.

I am here all day and there is nothing else I can think about.

Well, just think about us.

Our future together.

Do you really believe she'll go back to the UK without the kids?

She does love them.

Yeah, her love is toxic.

And she is one step away from a breakdown.

I've seen it before.

When the time is right, I'll call her family.

We'll make it a joint effort.

Get her to check back into the clinic.

Then even if she does come back to Australia,

we'll have custody by then.

It's a lot.

Yeah.

I tell you what,

I'll take the whole day off.

Drop Anna at work.

Oliver can go to day care.

Yeah, but won't Anna know that?

Can't imagine Oliver's going to tell her.

Come on.

We need to get back to us.

I gave her an out.

And I thought she would do the right thing.

But she chose him.

Neither of them have a conscience.

None whatsoever.

You need to take control of your future,

like I'm taking control of mine.

I do.

You're taking control?

Well, I'm too old to be doing this.

I've got two little grandkids waiting for me

on the other side of the Tasman.

The Tasman?

Mm.

We're moving to New Zealand.

Back to my roots.

Well, life's too short for us to be here.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

What's so funny?

Oh, I should be apologising to you.

I'm here pouring my heart out and I hardly know anything about you.

I'm sorry.

Are you married?

Do you love your wife?

Not anymore. Oh.

Well. I'm...

pretty fond of my husband.

We haven't made it legal yet but, well, it's only been 30 years.

Why rush?

How did you meet?

I picked him up.

In my taxi.

And you fell in love?

With the meter running.

Does he still make you laugh?

Even though he probably drives you mad sometimes.

He does, and he does.

Treasure that, won't you?

Never let that go.

Promise me.

I promise.

I am not gonna let them take my children.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You know what?

I've got something that'll help you relax.

Mm? And what's that?

What, drugs?

What are you doing?

I've still got to pick up the kids.

Yeah, it's not for hours and it's just a little bump.

It'll have worn off by then.

Come on.

Come back to me.

Get it bolder. Thank you.

COMPUTER MESSAGE SOUND

Oh, Anna.

That's very quick.

What the...

PHONE BUZZES

Mate, Anna has gone.

She's on her way home.

She's packed up her desk and, mate, she's really lost it.

PHONE BUZZES

Stop.

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Stop.

You OK?

Untie me. Untie me.

Is your... Is your husband meant to be home?

No.

But it's not surprising.

Want me to stop here, like last time?

Drive up to the house.

Sorry.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

I'll get us some water.

PHONE BUZZES

Fuck!

She's home!

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

For you and Ian to enjoy.

Thank you.

Hey.

You're home.

So are you.

Yeah. Yeah, I know, I was just feeling, ah, crook.

It must be that stomach bug that you had.

Where's Becky and Oliver?

You didn't, you didn't see them on the way in? They just left.

Left to go where?

The park. And to pick up Grace.

Is Oliver OK?

Yeah, he's well, he's great.

Why are you home?

Hey.

You OK?

I can't drive.

Don't ask questions.

Can you help me?

Come on, Becky, cut the bullshit.

I know you're on with Jake.

Can we just sit for a sec?

Oh, there's still time.

How long have you known?

Just figured it out.

Do you know what you're doing?

Has he pressured you in any way?

No.

If he has...

No, it's...

it's not like that.

Really? Cos all the questions that you were asking me.

He loves me.

And I love him.

Becky.

Am I allowed to ask how it started?

Crisps.

It was one in the morning.

That's all that was for sale.

Just one packet of crisps.

So, he offered to split them with me and that's how we met.

Walker's bloody crisps.

Oh, the things that he told me.

About how Anna treated the children.

I mean, she endangered them.

It was just one thing after another after another.

And he knew that he had to leave her,

but he had to get the kids back here before he could do it.

Was there another reason why you were asking about his temper?

No. Look, I can't get into it right now.

OK?

Jake has a plan for us, and for her.

He's going to get her the help that she needs.

Oh... Can we go?

Yeah.

KNOCKS

Hi. Hi.

Hi. Was everything OK today?

Yeah. No, it was fine.

Are you sure?

It's just when I got home, you and Oliver were gone.

Oh, no, I, I took Ollie out for a bit before we picked up Grace.

Jake didn't tell you?

He did, yeah.

I just wondered why you left.

Was Jake the reason?

You can tell me if he was.

No...

No, I just wanted to get out of the house. Oh.

And where'd you go?

The shops.

Ollie was OK when you put him down before, wasn't he?

He was fine.

OK.

As long as you are too.

I'm all good.

Oh, what you said the other day, about Jake...

have you told anyone else about that?

Why do you ask?

Oh, I just wonder what other support you have.

You are the only one I trust.

All right, well, I...

I might have a shower.

Unless you need me for anything...

Oh, no, no, no, no, go.

OK.

If you wouldn't mind documenting it, mate.

Just something on a letterhead

showing what a complete nutter she is.

You know what? Attach that fast food task you gave her.

Yes.

Reckless is a great word.

Righto, mate. Thanks.

Well?

Well, what?

When you left here you were going to give Phil a bottle of wine.

How did you go from that to telling him to fuck off?

I was angry.

There's not enough work for me there.

Oh, OK, and that's how you repay him, for giving you a chance?

Jesus, Anna,

you going back to work was supposed to be good for your state of mind.

Give you something to focus on. Yes, Jake.

All right, yeah, great.

So, now what? We've hired Becky. The kids love her.

Oh, I want her to stay on.

I'll look for another job.

How's that sound?

Yeah, I mean, I think it's the right move.

Maybe Phil could be persuaded to write me a reference?

A favour for an old mate.

Do you think he'd do that for you?

I could probably talk him into it.

Thank you.

Hey.

Do you think Becky's OK?

Oh, she's obviously picked up on the tension.

Mm. Well, I'll reassure her.

She's been such a good support to me.

She's a good kid, isn't she?

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Come in.

Hi. Hey.

No, no, no, don't get up.

Don't get up. Oliver's fine.

Has something happened?

We're all in control of our futures.

Right?

That's what I'm doing.

I'm taking control.

I'm leaving Jake.

When are you going to tell him?

I can't.

I can't. You know how volatile he is.

I have to protect Grace and Oliver.

What do you mean? I need to set up a safehouse.

Do you know what I mean by that?

May...

It's somewhere I can... I can live with the children.

Somewhere I can escape to.

I need you to help me set it up.

Me?

And of course you can come with us.

It will be furnished but I'll need to move some personal items.

We can start beforehand with things that he won't notice gone.

Toys.

Clothes.

I need it to feel as familiar for those kids as possible.

OK, is all of this actually necessary?

I can't be too careful around him, Becky.

Look, I know I'm asking a lot of you,

and you don't have to give me an answer now.

Just... Just think about it.

Hey. Hi. You OK?

No, you'll never guess what she's asked me to do. It's way too much.

OK, calm down.

What's going on?

She wants me to move the kids to a safehouse and she wants me

to help her set it up for her.

Well, have you found out if she's told anyone else?

The lies about me hitting her?

She says that she hasn't.

OK, good.

This could work for us.

What? How?

Well, we've been waiting for her to do something,

something big we could use against her.

OK.

If she takes the kids without my permission, if she goes as far

as setting up another house for them to live in, that's abduction.

We can call the police on her.

Are you sure? She could still claim that you're hitting her.

She's got no proof, and you'll be able to say she's making it up.

Bec. Yeah, I'm here.

How would I prove that?

Well, you'll say you've seen her self—harm.

Becky, you have to do that for me.

For us.

Of course. OK. Good.

She'll have no case, but we've got a case against her.

I've got all the documents ready.

Hospital and police records, statements from Caroline and Phil,

but yours is going to be the most powerful.

You're the one who's been in the house.

Becky?

Yeah, I'm just thinking about everything that can go wrong.

Nothing will go wrong.

This is exactly what we've been waiting for.

We'll prove that she's crazy once and for all.

I think you should go to the beach house.

That's a hell of an idea.

How's it going to work? On Saturday?

Just...

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

There's a slight change of plan.

I want you to go after him.

Don't touch me!

God!

Hey, I wanna fuck you! No!

How did it come to this?

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

I love you.

It's not all right.

Anna?

Good bye, Becky.
