What did I tell you?

Okay, guys.

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

See ya.

Homework.

See ya.

See ya. Have a good weekend.

See ya.

Bye. See ya, big fella.

See ya later.

Bye.

Melissa, can I have a word?

Uh, 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're having bad dreams or something.

Or something.

If there's something going on, you can
come to us, you know.

Oh, no, it's nothing serious, just we've
had a couple of rats in the roof

recently and they've been making a heap
of noise at night.

Mum's meaning to get on to 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.

Alright, well, don't let me keep you.
You have a good couple of days off.

Thanks, sir. You too.

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

What's up?

Tell me about it.

That's what he gets for being so stupid.

Dad was so mad he wanted to make the
other one.

I bet.

Are you doing anything tonight?

Um, I don't know.

Quiet one, probably. Do you want to come
over?

My parents will be cool with it.

Sorry. I wish I could, but Mum'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 friend's 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

Save Dad putting them out every year.

Smart.

I hope your Mum feels better soon.

Thanks Meet

her

How's it looking up there, babe?

Oh, it's not going to be cheap.

That plaster's worn and locked.

Perlins are fucked.

Can you fix it?

I'll have to see where I can find it.

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 at the reno.

And besides, you've got it out of the
pen and you need to place something

it, right?

And you placed it where she's drunk.

Excuse me?

Nothing. It's just... Just what?

This is man'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 bright
today.

Okay. Whatever.

You better dip to the attitude if you
know it's good for you.

Sorry, Mama.

Anne?

Sorry.

Trent.

Yeah, that's better.

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

Just being a real little bitch today.

What you got there, babe?

I've gained coosh.

I'm making

tea. Do you

want any?

I'm good.

Chai?

Nah. What could be worse, mate?

Speaking of...

Wait, get me one too.

You'll have to be more careful.

I'm sorry.

What are you saying sorry for?

This is Ned's house, remember?

And I shouldn't even be here.

So you're 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, Mum left before I could stand.

And the old man, well, he just used to
be 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 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 I want
Maurice back.

Jesus, you're trying to burn down the
house, are you?

Let's put some more guys on, will ya?

Looks like no one owns ya.

The hole's getting worse.

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

Mm -hmm.

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

You have nice teeth.

Mine are all gross and teethy and like
your nan's, but you got your dad's

They're nice.

Thanks.

Hey, I need you to make more of an
effort with Trent, okay? He's good for

He's using you, Mama.

No. 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, eh?

Your like so we could

finish a little chat

You're

pretty pretty pretty

I'm going to teach you a fucking lesson.

You don't want to play nice.

You don't have to play nice.

What have you

Take him from me.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I'm sorry.

I should cut that thing out from between
your legs.

26 Clarence Street, Bonalbo.

2469. Please hold.

Hurry.

Bonalbo Police Department, how can I
help?

My mum 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.

I'm in her bedroom. The door's locked,
but it won't hold up.

What? What do you mean?

I don't know.

Maybe her... her boyfriend...

Shit!

You think I get a hundred calls from
brats like you every day?

Baby. Mommy's coming.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm gonna

follow

you, you little shit!

Way to go, baby.

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

One.

Two.

Two and a half.

I'll get you, you little fuck.

Good evening, ma 'am.

I'm Officer Schaefer. 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 his 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.

That's my missy.

But you've missed her. I'm afraid she's
left about maybe half an hour ago.

What, two in the morning?

Her friend was having night terrors, you
see, and her mum asked if she could

pick the 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

in this call?

She said that her mother was trying to
kill her.

Goodness,

that's crazy.

Have you been doing some renovating?

No. Yes, I was earlier. I haven't had
time to see her yet. You have to excuse

appearance.

I wasn't expecting company tonight.

And the blood on your face, is that
yours?

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

It's a big house with 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 mum's house,
actually. She's given it to us while

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 uptick.

Looks pretty major to me.

We had some water damage after the
floods and it's not like I could get

out here, so I thought I'd give it a
crack myself.

I have to tell you that you're wasting
your time, but she's clearly not here.

You know,

she's a pretty good kid, but sometimes
she does silly things, and maybe this is

just a prank call.

Is this the trap around through here?

Yep.

Bathroom one, sunroom.

Bathroom two, help yourself.

What with the balls?

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

Lots of looting going on around here
since the floods.

He was my mother.

Missy.

All right, Missy.

I'm going to go kill this cop.

Who's there?

You can't mind your own fucking
business!

This is family matter!

Broken bones heal with time.

A broken heart you take to the grave.

What did you have to do that for?

Was I not good enough?

She's just a little girl.

Police. Can I confirm your location,
please?

Blackstock Road, Bonalbo.

Please hold.

Bonalbo Police Department, how can I
help?

Hello? There's been a shooting on
Blackstock Road.

The gunman's still active. You need to
send help.

See that Missy?

No one's coming for you.

No help.

No saviour.

No backup.

It's just you and me kids in this big
old house.

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

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Look at what you've become.

Mama.

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

How are you here?

It doesn't matter how.

It only matters why.

You can't take her.

I've gone too far.

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

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?

Sleeping in my bed.

Shut the fuck up!

There you go.

Oh, God.

Uh...

Is that you?

Hi, Paul.

Did I just hear screaming?

Oh, yeah, that was me. I can't find
Missy.

Oh, well, I mean, Kayla invited her
over, but she said that you weren't

well and that she had to stay home.

Yeah, look,

we got into a bit of a fight and she was
meant to be grounded, but she's taken

off.

I thought maybe she'd come here.

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. I wanted to

give her mother a good scare, you know.

Looks like she succeeded.

You don't look so well.

That's what everyone wants to hear,
Paul.

No, I'm sorry. I mean, I didn't mean it
like that.

You want me to come help?

No, no, it's okay.

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

You don't want to come in? No, 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 just...
No problem.

Good luck with all your stuff.

Oh, Trent, what's going on, mate? Didn't
know you were here. Hey, mate.

Grab us a beer, eh? Yeah, right. Hey,
two beers, mate. Let's go.

Your mum wanted me to come check on you.

Snuck you a piece of cake while I was
gone.

Thanks.

God.

I haven't seen one of these for years.

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

That's what Nan's are for, eh?

It's for all the grandkids.

Do they use it?

Oh, not much.

No?

Victoria's sacred moment.

You're a pretty girl, Missy.

Bet you've got to be the voice of the
thickest girl.

Oh, I don't know.

I need more of this.

Are you sure you want to do this?

My mum 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

her living room.

You know what the fascinating part of
that story is?

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 to all the townspeople.

But here's my predicament, missy.

You're too tainted to soak.

No one can 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!

I'm going to kill you.

You want

to know the

best way to kill him now?

By burning down the fucking house.

Missy!

What?

Don't think I want to do it!

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.

No, no.

I'm just a fucking junkie.

We can get you some help.

So young, so pretty, and so naive.

I am viewed.

That's what it is.

Because your future is 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's always happy for you.

Is that why you killed her?

No, she... She fell.

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 man and then the cop.

You don't have to do this.

Just let me go.

I think you're a good mother.

Oh, God.

Come on.
