I'll be a shepherd to these lambs

Drive them not away

For if to me their hearts they give

They shall with me in

Glory live

Suffer, little children

Who come, unto me

Mom!

Get out!

What did I tell you?

Okay, guys. Have a good weekend. I'll see you all on Monday.

See ya. Homework.

-See ya. -Bye-bye.

See ya. Have a good weekend.

-See ya. See ya, big fella. -Bye.

-See you later. Bye. -Bye.

Bye.

Melissa. Can I have a word?

Sure.

Is everything all right at home?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

You're falling asleep in class again.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. Just a rough night.

It's been happening for a few weeks now.

You having bad dreams or something?

Or something.

If there's something going on,

you can come to us, you know?

No, it's nothing serious.

It's just, we've had a couple of rats in the roof recently, and

they've making a heap of noise at night. Mom's meaning

to get onto wires, but she just, she keeps forgetting.

Okay.

-Well, if anything changes… -I'll let you know.

-Any plans for the weekend? -Not really.

Catch up on sleep?

Yeah. Maybe.

All right. Well, don't let me keep you.

-You have a good couple days off. -Thank you, sir. You too.

The doctor said, if he was any worse, he'd have to get an operation.

-That sucks. -Tell me about it.

That's what he gets for being so stupid. Dad was so mad

-he wanted to break the other one. -I bet.

Are you doing anything tonight?

-I don't know. Quite one, probably. -Do you want to come over?

My parents will be cool with it.

Sorry, I wish I could

but, Mom's still not feeling well.

You said that last week.

Well, she's been sick for a while.

Okay…

Well, if you change your mind, come on over,

Mitch is at his friends house. So,

we'll basically get the house to ourselves.

I'll let you know, thanks.

You guys haven't taken down your Christmas decorations yet?

No, we never do. Saves Dad putting them out every year.

Smart.

I hope your Mom feels better soon.

Thanks.

Me too.

How's it looking up there, babe?

It's not going to be cheap.

Plaster is waterlogged. Purlins are fucked.

Can you fix it?

We'll have to see what happens, hey.

Missy. You remember, Trent?

Yeah. I remember.

He's going to be staying with us for a while.

What? Why?

Missy! Don't be so rude.

He's helping us with the renovations.

Besides, he just got out of the pen and he needs a place to hang his hat, alright?

You mean, a place to stash his drugs.

Excuse me?

Nothing. It's just…

It's just, what?

This is Nan's house.

He shouldn't be here.

And you shouldn't be drinking with your condition.

I'm a grown woman, and I'll do what I want.

You're being a little fucking brat today.

Okay. Whatever.

You better ditch the attitude if you know what's good for you.

Sorry, Mama.

And?

Sorry…

Trent.

Yeah. That's better.

Why don't you go hang out in your fucking room?

She's being a real little bitch today.

-What you got there, babe? -Afghan Kush. Have a whiff.

Oh.

I'm making tea.

Do you want any?

I'm good. Trent?

Nah. I like a beer when I smoke.

Speaking of.

Hey, get me one too.

You'll have to be more careful.

I'm sorry.

What are you saying sorry for?

This is Nan's house, remember?

And I shouldn't even be here.

So, are you going to clean up your mess?

You're lucky, you know?

I never had a place like this when I was a kid.

You see, Mom left before I could stand,

and the old man. Well…

he just used me like a punching bag.

You know, I got kicked out of school by the time I was your age.

Then I ran away from home not long after that.

So, you're just going to ignore me?

I don't know what you want me to say.

You see, I don't want you to say anything.

I just want you to show me a little more respect.

Oh, Jesus! You trying to burn down the house, are you?

And put some more clothes on, will you?

Looks like no one owns you.

That hole is getting worse.

If it gets any bigger than this, we're going to fall through.

Won't it be nice to have the house back to normal?

You have nice teeth.

Mine are all gross and tea-stained like your Nan's.

But you've got your Dad's teeth, they're nice.

Thanks.

Hey.

I need you to make more of an effort with Trent, okay?

He's good for me.

He's using you, Mama.

What?

No baby girl, we've got something special.

He doesn't even look at you when you talk.

That's because he's too busy listening,

which is something you could do a little better, yeah?

I'm happy that you're happy, Mama. I really am…

You could just do a little better.

That's all.

Sweet dreams.

You awake?

Thought we could…

finish our little chat.

Here pretty, pretty, pretty.

What the fuck?

Bitch!

You think you're the first person to try and knock me?

I'm gonna teach you a fucking lesson.

You don't wanna play nice.

We don't have to play nice.

No! No, no, no no…

What have you done?

He was trying to hurt me, Mama.

Bullshit!

I finally find a decent man…

and you take him from me.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I'm sorry.

I should cut that thing out from between your legs.

Missy!

He wasn't yours.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Hurry.

You have dialed Emergency Triple Zero.

Your call is being connected.

Please…

Triple Zero, do you require Police, Fire, or Ambulance?

Police.

Can I confirm your location please?

26, Clarence street, Bonalbo,

2469.

-Please hold. -Hurry.

Bonalbo Police Department. How can I help?

My mom is trying to kill me.

Okay, we've sent an officer to your address.

-Who am I speaking with? -Melissa Taylor, Missy.

-Okay, Missy, how old are you? -I'm 13.

Okay, Missy, I'm going to stay on the line with you while you wait.

Do you have a safe place to hide?

I'm in her bedroom. The door's locked. But it won't hold her.

Is she under the influence of any narcotics?

What do you mean?

-Has she taken any drugs? -I don't know.

Maybe. Her boyfriend…

Missy!

I know you're in there!

Open the fucking door!

Missy, just stay on the line for now…

Missy, are you still there?

Missy? Missy?

Missy are you there? Darling, I need you to find somewhere safe…

Stay on the line!

No!

They're not coming, you little shit!

You think they don't get a hundred calls from brats like you every day?

Baby!

Mommy's coming.

Dammit!

Where do you think you're going?

You think I won't follow you, you little shit?

Nowhere to go baby.

Nowhere to go…

Oh, you bitch!

You tired of playing yet?

Missy.

I'm gonna give you to the count of three.

One.

Two.

Two and a half…

Hey, baby.

You little bitch!

I'm gonna get you, you little fuck.

Good evening, ma'am.

I'm Officer Schaeffer, this is Officer Brady.

We're responding to a domestic disturbance at this address.

A domestic disturbance?

Yes, ma'am, 26 Clarence Street.

Well that's this house but I can't imagine what the disturbance could be.

Do you have a daughter, ma'am?

Yeah, I do.

Can we speak with her?

No, I'm sorry, she's at a friend's house.

We received a call about an hour ago from a girl named Melissa Taylor.

Well, that's my Missy.

But you've missed her,

I'm afraid she left about maybe half an hour ago.

At two in the morning?

Her friend was having night terrors, you see?

And her mom asked if she could pick Missy up to help

calm her down. It's the weekend. So I didn't see a problem

with it. I'm sorry. What did she say in this call?

She said that her mother was trying to kill her.

Goodness, that's crazy!

You've been doing some renovating?

No. Yes. I was earlier.

I haven't had time to shower yet.

You'll have to excuse my appearance…

I wasn't expecting company tonight.

And the blood on your face?

Is that yours?

Yeah, must have caught myself on a nail or something.

It's a big house.

There's lots of old parts that need renovating, you see.

Yeah.

Do you mind if we have a little look around?

No, not at all. Help yourself.

My partner will have a look outside.

I'm going to come in, if that's okay.

Sure.

Nice house.

Thank you. It's my Mom's house actually,

she's given it to us while she's out travelling.

It's coming up to its 100th birthday actually.

I thought you couldn't renovate historic houses?

Well you know, nothing too major,

just a bit of upkeep.

Looks pretty major to me.

We had some water damage after the floods

and it's not like I could get workers out here so…

I thought I'd give it a crack myself.

You know it hurts to tell you that you're wasting your time,

but she's clearly not here, is she?

You know, she's a pretty good kid, but…

Sometimes she does silly things and…

Maybe this is just a prank call?

Does this just wrap around through here?

Yeah, bathroom one, sunroom, bathroom two. Help yourself.

What's with the boards?

Oh, you know, you can never be too careful.

Lots of looting going on around here since the floods.

No!

No!

Nan!

No!

No!

You found her, didn't you?

I know you think you're the only one who cares.

But she was my mother.

Missy?

Alright, Missy.

I'm gonna go kill this cop.

Then I'm coming for you.

I'll come back for you, Nan.

I promise.

Who's there?

Couldn't mind your own fucking business!

This is a family matter.

No, no, no, no, no!

Mama!

No!

Please!

Please!

I'm sorry I had to do that, baby.

But broken bones heal with time.

A broken heart you take to the grave.

Why'd you have to do that?

Was I not good enough?

She's just a little girl.

You have dialed Emergency Triple Zero.

Your call is being connected.

Triple Zero, do you require Police, Fire, or Ambulance?

Police.

Can I confirm your location please?

Black Duck Road, Bonalbo.

Please hold.

Bonalbo Police Department, how can I help?

Hello, there's been a shooting on Black Duck Road.

The gunman is still active. You need to send help.

I'm sending officers to your location.

Who am I speaking with?

Hello? Hello--

Dispatch, all units.

Unit A12, go ahead.

We've got a 303 at Bluck Duck Road.

EMS is enroute. Suspect at large, proceed with caution. Over.

Ten-four. We're on our way.

You hear that Missy?

No one's coming for you.

No help.

No savior.

No backup.

It's just you and me kid. In this big old house.

So why don't we just try and get along, huh?

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Alright, you fuck.

Son of a bitch.

Look at what you've become.

Mama?

Don't call me that. You're as dead to me as I am to you.

No.

How are you here?

It doesn't matter how.

It only matters why.

You can't save her.

She's gone too far.

You're the one who's gone too far.

I'm your daughter.

I am!

Why can't you just back me for once?

You're not my daughter.

You're a junkie!

I'm glad you're fucking dead.

Tell me, dear, how is it staying in my house?

Shut up.

Sleeping in my bed?

Shut up!

-Living in my shadow? -Shut up!

You want her, you old bitch?

You can have her.

Missy!

Where are you going, baby?

Help!

Missy!

Come here!

Hey!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Kayla!

Kayla!

Please!

Please!

Help!

Help!

Annette? Is that you?

Hi, Paul.

Did I just hear screaming?

Oh yeah, that was me.

I can't find Missy.

Oh, I mean, Kayla invited her over,

but she said that you weren't feeling well and that

she had to stay home.

Yeah, look. We got into a bit of a fight

and she's meant to be grounded, but she's taken off.

I thought maybe she'd come here.

I…

I haven't seen her. Sorry.

What's? What have you got on you?

Oh, paint. I've been painting.

I've been painting. Okay. Well, that's fine.

She's probably already back at the house.

Wanted to give her mother a good scare, you know?

Looks like she succeeded.

You don't look so well.

Just what every woman wants to hear, Paul.

No, it's… I mean I didn't. I didn't mean it like that, I…

You want me to come help?

No, no, it's okay.

I'm going to get back actually. So, sorry to wake you.

You don't want to come in or…

No, no, It's fine, it's fine.

I'm probably overreacting, you know. I'm sure she's home and…

Kids they really, push you to the brink, don't they?

You have a good night. Bye.

If you need anything, you jus…

No problem.

Good luck with all your stuff.

Oh, Trent. What's going on, mate? I didn't know you were here.

Hey, mate. Grab us a beer, hey?

Yeah, right! Hey, two beers, boys Let's go!

Your mom wanted me to come check on you.

Snuck you a piece of cake while I was going.

Thanks.

God!

Haven't seen one of these for years.

Yeah, it used to be Nan's but she gave it to me.

That's what Nans are for, right?

Spoil their grandkids.

So you use it?

Well, not much.

May I?

Oh, look at that…

Victoria's Secret Model on our hands.

You know you're a pretty girl, Missy.

Bet you're gonna beat the boys off you with a stick at school.

I don't know.

Oh, come on.

Don't be modest.

Here.

How 'bout I show you how pretty you are?

How 'bout we make this our little secret?

Are you sure you want to do this?

My mom used to tell me a story.

About an old woman in Italy.

She had anxiety and depression and suffered many hardships in her life.

So, it came as no surprise to the villagers…

when she slaughtered three women in her living room.

But you know what the fascinating part of that story is?

It's what she did after.

She rendered their fat…

down into soap.

And she baked their blood down down down and ground it up

and put it into cakes.

And she fed it all the townspeople.

Here's my predicament Missy.

You're too tainted for soap.

No one could clean themselves with you.

And you're too rotten for cake.

So, what do I make you into?

-Get the gun! -What?

Get the gun!

You're like a goddamn cockroach!

I'm going to kill you, you little shit.

You want to know the best way to kill a mouse?

By burning down the fucking house!

Missy.

One last chance, baby!

Don't think I won't do it.

Fine.

I'll see you in hell.

Wait.

Hey, baby.

Why are you doing this, Mama?

You know why.

He was going to hurt me…

I just defended myself.

You took him from me.

I'm sorry, Mama.

You're so young.

So pretty.

You're pretty too, Mama. You just don't know it.

No, no.

No…

I'm just a fucking junkie.

We can get you some help.

So young, so pretty, and so naive.

I envy you, you know?

That's what it is.

Because your future was always as bright as those

fucking stars in your eyes.

I don't know why that hurts me the way that it does.

Your Nan,

she was always happy for you.

Is that why you killed her?

No, she… she fell.

She slipped and she fell.

How did she slip, Mama?

Did you push her?

You don't get to ask me that.

You can't keep doing this.

First Nan, and then the cop.

You don't have to do this.

Just let me go.

I'll be a shepherd

To those lambs

Drive them not away

For if their hearts, to me they give

They shall with me, in glory live

I forgive you, Mama.

Let go! No!

Fuck.

Suffer little children

Who come, unto me
