2 When we met, I never imagined

that I'd be sitting here with you right now.

Something about it feels like fate.

Every time we make a plan now, you bail.

I feel really seen by him.

It's almost like he can read my mind.

I know what you are.

I was too dumb to see it, but you know who will?

Lina.

She'll figure you out.

Do you remember this woman?

Harriet apparently bailed one day.

Are you Harriet?

Who knows I'm here?

I was just thinking about you!

Where are you?

Uh, I'm at the hardware store. Yeah.

It's my boyfriend's birthday coming up.

Oh, you're Peter's girlfriend?

Guilty.

You said it felt like fate.

What if he chose you?

I wrote to you many times.

He came to see me.

Be careful.

Come on!

Move!

Someone in here?

No, no.

Lina. Lina.

Sweetheart... Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Calm down, sweetheart.

Hey, hey.

-What are you doing? - What did you do to me?!

-Shh, shh-shh, shh. -Fuck.

Lina. Lina. Hey, hey. It's me.

Shh. Shh. Rest. Shh.

Lina.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

You just frightened me, that's all.

Just rest. Just sleep.

Good girl.

We'll talk about everything

when you're feeling better.

No...

This is Lina. Text me.

Fuck.

What the fuck, Dan?!

-Hey! -No!

Why would you do that to yourself?

Are you OK?

Fuck you. Fuck you.

This is not supposed to be like this.

What, are you feeling a little rusty?

Has it been a while since you abducted someone?

You're not abducted.

I'm locked in a fucking basement.

Jesus Christ, Lina.

I was just trying to bring you some fucking lunch.

Salad on white, no carrot.

What's it laced with this time?

Do you honestly think that I would do that to you?

You broke my rib.

- Let me take a look. - Don't... don't fucking touch me.

I need a hospital.

Come on.

I'm sure you've dealt with worse.

Can you at least bring me something so I can treat myself?

Fine. What do you need?

Ice packs, bandages,

and tramadol.

There's a sheet in the bathroom under the mirror.

OK.

But after that,

we're gonna sit down and we're gonna work this out.

We are not leaving this room until you let me explain.

No!

I'm here! I'm...

Come on!

Oh, fuck.

Help!

Oh, shit. Shit!

Tess! Clare!

Where is she?

Lina!

She's not here.

What are you doing here?

- Zara said you just bailed. - I got worried.

Lina sent me this very cagey text

that something happened to Cain,

and then she stopped responding.

What happened?

He got in a fight.

A bad one, apparently.

Oh, no.

Well, yeah, that would have brought up a lot for her.

And you haven't heard from her since?

-Her phone's off. - Off, or just not responding?

There. Undelivered. See?

Yeah, OK.

I've been telling myself that I'm just being stupid.

But you're right, it... it's odd.

Odd?

Your girlfriend is missing and all you say is 'odd'?

And what do you do, Dan?

Let yourself in, make yourself a sandwich?

Well, when she didn't pick up,

I figured maybe she'd come back here.

How did you get in?

She gave me a key. We're moving in.

That's not what she told me.

Well, I guess she doesn't tell you everything.

Show us this text.

Sure.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Please, help!

Help!

Tea?

No capitals. I mean, it looks like her.

You want to know what I think?

- Tess... -It's fine.

I think you've done something to her.

I wouldn't.

I care about her.

Deeply.

- Tess, we should go. - I'm waiting for her right here.

We need to talk to Brennan.

But we'll be back.

You bet your arse we will.

Because plenty of our mates would love to take a run at you.

I'll let you know when I hear from her.

Here.

Couldn't find any bandages, sorry.

But here's some tea for your throat.

I need the tramadol.

First...

...we're gonna talk.

Total honesty.

You ask me about anything, I will tell you the truth.

The cameras in the NestShare.

Mine.

Sorry.

You're sorry?

You... spied on me,

you blackmailed me

and then you framed my friend.

You didn't give me much choice.

Uh...

Why Axel?

He was in love with you.

And it was his place.

He was innocent.

Oh, my God.

I'm such an idiot.

No, you're not.

Don't say that.

You're just scared.

And you're confused.

Every person that you have ever loved

has either left you or hurt you, but that is not me.

I don't love you, Dan.

Yes, you do.

Of course you do.

You love me because I saved you.

Well, I didn't need saving.

OK.

I'll prove it to you.

She wouldn't actually run away, right?

Lina's never run away from anything.

Neither have I.

But when the whole thing blew up with Axel, I knew I wanted to.

What happened?

When I tried ringing her this morning,

it went straight to voicemail.

Which means her phone was switched off

between 9:00 and 10:00.

She could be out of battery.

She doesn't run out of battery.

OK, so we have a woman last seen by hospital staff

about eight hours ago and no sign of her since.

Prior to that, when was the last time you spoke?

She left me a voicemail early this morning

sounding really frazzled.

Asked me to look up an address.

- Look up how? - WestLaw.

We use it at work.

I work at a law firm.

Did she say what it was regarding?

No, but I checked it out.

The owner was charged 18 months ago

for putting cameras inside a NestShare.

Hang on, who was this?

Harriet's old landlord.

I'll look into it.

This new boyfriend, what did he say?

Played dumb.

Concerned.

What, you think he's lying?

I'm sorry, have you been listening?

Where's the SWAT team and the helicopters and the AFP?

We must establish that, A, Lina is actually missing

and, B, whether the man you think is responsible

had something to do with it.

How do we do that?

We'll take your statement

and then I will start my inquiries.

While the hours just tick by.

You don't need to remind me that time is a factor.

Then what... what about this storage thing?

She could be in there right now.

Well, I need a warrant.

Uh, this other woman, though, Harriet...?

Goldsmith. Used to be Mason.

Do you know how I can reach her?

All Lina said is that she worked out west

at a carpet store or something.

Fuck, I should have got her to tell me.

Well, you did right by your friend.

You just keep your phones nearby

and I will be in touch if I have any news.

Statements, please.

Thank you.

Shit, shit.

A bit precious, are they?

You didn't know it at the time,

but this was the night that we met.

At first I thought, "This girl is so comfortable.

"She's so at ease."

But the closer I looked,

the more I realised that you were trapped.

Why the fuck would you think that?

Watch.

Hey, uh, when can we get a place like this?

I love that shitbox.

Well, it's a bit small, if you catch my drift.

Watch out.

This is sick.

Keep watching.

I think we should probably do, like,

one big life event at a time, yeah?

Survive the wedding first.

Maybe get some kidlets going.

Kidlets?

Yeah.

I know that's...

I know it's scary talking about that stuff.

Complicated with your mum.

But you'll make an amazing mother.

There.

Tell me that what he said didn't freak you out.

It didn't.

Ah, you're a terrible liar.

I know you loved him.

I'm not denying you that,

but he... he should have fucking worshipped you

for that privilege.

And instead he wanted to put you in a box.

In a box?

Dan, look where the fuck we are.

See, this is a... a moment.

It's a tiny fragment that doesn't mean anything.

You just saw whatever fuck you wanted to see.

No, I made sure.

"Lina Phillips," he said.

Lina.

Such a unique name.

So much less common than you might think.

It took me no time to find you.

You stalked me.

No, I didn't stalk you. I got to know you.

I know you better than anyone, Lina.

I saw you get dragged to that party

with Cain's ridiculous friends.

I...I saw how alone you felt.

Abandoned, forgotten.

You... you were a passenger.

And the more that I watched you,

the more I understood what you really needed.

So I gave it to you.

I let you be in control.

Think about it.

You approached me at that party.

You came to my NestShare.

You asked me to fix up the house

and you kept coming back to me again and again.

Not despite of the risk.

Because of it.

I am the man you deserve, Lina.

No, see...

...you're not a man.

You're a sad, sick little boy.

A pervert with his hands down his fucking pants.

That's what you think this is about?

Sex?

Oh, it's not?

Why don't you enlighten me, then?

Everyone watches.

YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, reality TV.

We're all so obsessed with each other's lives.

We all watch.

This is different.

This is different because it's real.

All that other stuff, it's nonsense,

it's fake, it's a giant performance.

Do you want to know someone?

What they want, what they're scared of,

what they're searching for?

Do you want to know what truth looks like?

Watch someone when they don't know that they're being watched.

When there is no other urge inside of them

but to be exactly who they are.

That is truth.

You were calling out for help.

And I saw it.

Anyway.

I'm so glad we're finally talking.

Detective, a Dan Moore to see you.

Did you say 'Moore'?

Uh, alright. Um, send him in.

Slowly.

Thank you so much.

Daniel, right?

Detective Sergeant Miranda Brennan.

Miranda, hi.

Pleasure to meet you, thank you.

Please, you can call me... call me Dan.

And what can I do for you?

Um...

It's my girlfriend, Lina.

Uh...

I haven't heard from her today...

...and I'm a little bit worried.

You've had no word at all?

I had two texts this morning,

um, but nothing since.

And I'm...

Maybe I'm overreacting.

What did she say, exactly?

Uh, just that she needed some space.

You two have a fight or something?

No. No, no, nothing like that, no.

But it's been a really hard couple of months for her.

As I'm sure you're aware.

What happened there?

Oh.

Tradie.

Occupational hazard.

I'm covered in 'em.

Anyway, as I was saying...

You're worried about her safety?

I didn't say 'safety'. I'm just...

Well, she's missing.

Her friends are concerned.

You're in my office.

You've spoken to Tess and Clare?

They have given me a statement.

What did it say?

It's OK. I'm sure I can guess.

Uh...

They were upset with me when they came by.

Not that I'm really surprised.

I'm the new guy.

I've been taking a lot of Lina's time, I suppose.

And I...I think Tess is a bit jealous.

Some people move on.

Ah.

Some people clutch on too hard.

Anyway, I just really want her to be OK.

I'm just going to ask you flat out, Daniel.

Have you done anything that might have scared her,

endangered her or otherwise harmed her in any way?

No.

Miranda, I love her.

I would never do anything to harm her.

Well, in that case, thank you for dropping by.

Thank you.

Thanks for seeing me.

Have a good day.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

I told you not to call me.

Lina?

You there?

I'm blocking this number.

Is the pain any better?

Tramadol helped.

Good.

Listen, I've been thinking about what you said.

You're right.

We need to work this out.

So I'm sorry...

...for the things I said about you.

I...I didn't mean it. I was just scared.

And I'm still scared.

I just want to understand.

When you said that this love was fate...

...right, there was some truth in that.

Does that mean anything to you?

I don't think so.

What did she say to you?

-Who? - Stop!

Stop lying to me!

I thought we agreed, Lina.

Total honesty.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Harriet.

What did she tell you?

She told me everything.

Well, she made it all up.

Lina, that woman is... is unstable.

She ruined my life!

That's the reason I changed my name and lived out of my car.

I was the victim, and you believed her.

Yes, Dan. I fucking believed her.

So that's it.

You can still let me go.

You can.

Just run away.

No, you know I can't do that.

You ruined this.

You broke my heart.

Well, you've left me no choice, haven't you?

I'm pregnant.

What?

It's yours.

You're lying.

I'll prove it to you.

I'm so sick of my brain.

It just keeps repeating itself on loop over and over and over,

and I feel so fucking useless.

I mean, what else are we supposed to do?

I don't know.

My radar was always up, you know?

And Dan...

...he always seemed off.

Not to me.

So much for female intuition.

But then I'm not exactly the paragon of good judgement, am I?

What do you mean?

Dan?

Axe?

The NestShare arrest you mentioned?

What if I got it wrong?

If Axe never did anything...

...and I crucified him.

You find videos on your husband's thumb drive,

what the fuck are you supposed to think?

Hey, no-one is judging you.

I erased him.

The man I loved and trusted.

What does that say about me?

It says it's hard trusting anyone.

I just hope she's OK.

Lina's tough.

She's the toughest person I've ever known.

And if anything happens to her, we will destroy that man.

Who's getting destroyed?

Hi, sweetheart.

We're gossiping.

- Well, I like gossip. - Just men. It's nothing.

What are you doing?

I was just editing a reel.

You haven't posted today.

No, I'm not in the mood.

Actually, Clare,

I think you are.

Best of luck!

Listen up, FORGEFIT fam.

Today is for real.

Our friend Lina Phillips is missing.

We are gravely concerned.

Her boyfriend, Dan Moore, is also MIA.

We put their pics in bio.

Dan is 6'2", dark hair,

and has a mountain tattoo on his arm.

Help us find our friend.

That's 48.50.

Sir?

Uh.

Oh.

Oh, where did you put them?

Fuck.

Yes!

OK.

Fuck.

OK.

OK. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

'Stacey', please, come on.

Please, please.

Yes! OK. OK.

Oh, shit.

Shit.

Fuck.

Shit.

Lina!

Lina!

Fuck.

Ahh!

No! No!

No!

Argh!

Fuck you! No!

NO!

No!

Calm down! Calm down!

Calm down.

L-Lina?

What are you doing here?

I have some difficult news for you.

Lina is missing.

What?

No-one's seen her since she was here this morning.

She's not responding to any calls or messages.

I need you to think. Where could she have gone?

I...I don't know.

What did you two talk about?

Me. Uh, what happened. Axel. Dan.

Dan.

I warned her. Fuck.

He came to hassle me in prison.

Have you detained him?

He's done something to her...

He came to me. I questioned him.

I had to let him go.

You let him walk out? Are you... Fuck!

Fuck.

OK. Have you checked Pa's house?

Your friends were there earlier. There was no sign of her.

Did they check underneath?

Can you at least turn around?

You know, these things aren't bulletproof.

I should do a blood test, really. I...

God.

It's true.

Yep.

What now?

- We're going. - Going? Where?

Far away.

So, what, I'm just gonna be your prisoner?

Baby...

...I know you don't understand it right now

because you've been through so much.

I know and I'm sorry.

And you're very confused.

But, baby,

we're meant to be.

Look.

That proves it.

I won't live in your box, Dan.

You don't get to decide that!

OK. OK. OK.

I'm sorry.

Don't say a fucking word.

Hello?

Daniel, it's Detective Brennan.

Shit.

Alright.

Dan, let me...

Let me talk to her.

Yeah? I'll tell her everything's fine.

I swear.

I don't want to hurt her.

Or Harriet.

I thought I heard something,

but... no-one's answering.

Do you copy?

Hello?

Hello?

Detective.

Lina.

- Is everything alright? -Uh...

Apologies for the late-night visit.

How are you going?

I'm fine. I've just been sleeping.

There's a lot of people looking for you.

Really?

I mean, I...I went out for a hike.

Are you alone in the house?

Hey, look, as much as I appreciate the check-in, um...

...I am pretty exhausted.

So I...I might, um...

S...

Uh...

Hey, could I just trouble you for a cuppa?

It's just a long drive home.

Um...

- Tea? -Mm.

Tea.

Yeah, I don't really drink tea.

Mm-hm.

Step back from the door, please.

Step back.

Oh!

Run!

Lina, open the door!

Listen!

No!

Lina!

Stop!

Lina, stop!

Lina!

- Lina, Lina. Lina! - Hey!

Please. Please, will you please come... come... come here?

Give me the drives.

Put the gun down.

You come to me first.

Put the fucking gun down!

Put it on the fucking ground!

Alright.

No!

No!

No, Lina!

No!
