Original subtitles

Donnie, it's me.

Come in. Yeah, just here.

What's happened? Why'd you call?

- He knows. - Who?

- Ian knows. - Think about it.

If he did know, then he would've gone to the police, right?

He's probably there right fucking now.

But he came to see you first

and he wouldn't have done that if he had any proof, right?

I don't care, Henry, because I can't do this.

Okay? I can't do this...

Hey, Donald.

Please.

I'm just trying to keep my family together.

What about her real family, Henry?

What about Ian and Debbie, her real fucking parents!

Me and Jenna are her parents.

You are her uncle.

You know... Don't, don't. All right.

- I'm not. I'm not. - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Donald, I know I've pushed you away. I know I've kept you at a distance.

And I'm sorry about that, but I need you now.

I fucking need you, brother.

And Jenna needs you.

Come to the house this afternoon.

We'll talk.

- Today? - This afternoon.

We'll sort it.

All right?

- Okay. I'll see you. - All right.

What the fuck?

And don't forget that the Lord works through all of us.

You don't have to create a big miracle.

A little one will do.

- Amen. - Every day...

He's watching you. All He asks is love in return.

A touching reminder there

that everything you're going through is part of His plan.

What are you doing?

"Come, little leaves" Said the wind one day.

"Come over meadows with me And play.

Put on your dresses of red and gold.

"For summer is gone And the days grow cold".

Dancing and whirling The little leaves went.

Winter had called them And they were content.

Soon, fast asleep In their earthy beds.

The snow laid a coverlid.

Over their heads.

So, after I found that at Donald's house, I confronted him and I...

I... Look, I said some things to him to rattle him, to get a reaction.

So about 20 minutes later, this car rolls up, this guy gets out of it.

He's the guy who cleans the windows here at the station.

- Who? - Henry.

Full name, Henry Matthew Reid.

Henry and Donald Reid?

- Yes. - I've always known.

Donnie's had a brother. I've always known, but we've never spoken about it.

- Until today. - Right.

So when Henry gets in his car, yes, I tailed him.

And he ran you off the road?

Exactly.

Okay, so we have been trying to contact Henry Reid all morning,

- but he's not answering his phone. - What's this?

Okay, so I contacted the company that he subcontracts for to get an address,

and the only address he's given them is some office in a business park in Geelong.

Yeah. Right.

Okay, what about the car he's driving?

Also registered to the same address at the business park.

And, of course, his phone turns out to be a prepaid.

Right. It's a burner.

So, I have...

I've asked around the station.

And no one knows a single thing about him...

- Nobody. - And he's been cleaning here for years.

- He was here when I was here. - Wait, tell me about Donald Reid.

So, he lives in town.

He's been here about five years, works as a fisherman for McKenna Seafoods.

- Now, he has a criminal record. - Well, yeah. Yes.

Well, it's a DUI resulting in serious injury from 2015.

Twenty-four months suspended sentence. Otherwise, yeah, he's a clean skin.

Yeah?

Excuse me, boss.

I tracked down the kid Ian mentioned,

- Damian Tully. - Damian?

Oh, that's the... that's the skater boy from the party.

He confirmed he saw a teenage girl get in the van

on Piper Street on the night of the Triple O call.

Showed him a photo of Donald Reid's vehicle,

he said he thought that was the one.

All right, let's get Donald in.

- Okay. - Okay.

Thanks, man.

Jenna?

Jenna, it's me.

Jenna?

Sarah?

Sarah!

- Where's your mother? - Ma's not here.

What happened to the car, Da?

Hey?

Nothing. Please pick up.

I just had a little accident.

That's all. Just...

- What about Tommy? - Hey?

What about Tommy?

Da?

What did you do?

Sarah...

Can you sit down, please, for one second?

Just do what Dad says and sit on this stool, please.

I have to tell you something.

Bad men are coming for us.

Policemen.

What do they want?

They wanna take you away.

You need to tell me what is going on.

- Well, there's this... - Now!

Man. He's from in the town, and he's spreading lies about us, right?

But if he gets his way,

then your mother and I have to go to jail, and you'll never see us again.

I don't believe you.

Sarah, I don't know how much longer we've got until they get here, okay?

Would I lie to you?

Would I lie to you?

So we gotta be ready, okay?

We gotta be ready, we gotta be prepared.

Please, Sarah.

Please.

- Is he here? - Okay.

Let's go.

Okay, Donald, grab a seat.

Just sit tight, mate, okay?

Do you have any knowledge of the whereabouts of Margaret "Mags" Ridley?

We have reason to believe that two nights ago

you picked up a girl, outside a phone booth in Piper Street.

Was that girl Margaret Ridley?

I don't have anything to say.

Why not? These are very simple questions we're asking, Mr. Reid.

Gotta say, I'm finding it a bit difficult to understand your attitude here.

If someone accused me of kidnapping a child, I'd deny it.

I'd be appalled 'cause, you know, it's an appalling crime.

You got a brother.

Henry Reid, is that right?

Yep?

He's a hard man to get a hold of, your brother.

Is he a bit of a off-the-grid type?

Bit of a loner?

I don't know, maybe you're trying to protect him.

Is that it?

Maybe he's the one that took Maggie.

Maybe he's the one

who killed that little girl that we found buried in the dirt.

Donnie?

Look, you don't wanna get Henry into trouble, I get that.

All we're asking for is an address.

Boss.

I'm suspending this interview at 12:42 p.m.

It's a delicate matter, so if you could find

- somebody suitable. - There will be officers. Everything we...

It's just procedural. Every...

Henry. I'm Detective Senior Sergeant Pena.

I'd like to report an incident involving a former police officer of yours, please.

- Ian Ridley, I presume. - Yeah, that's correct.

Ian Ridley. He followed me this morning.

Driving like a maniac.

He damaged my car.

He tried to kill us both.

All right, he is very dangerous,

- and I want him charged immediately. - Okay.

Well, as it happens, we've actually been trying

- to get in touch with you too. - About what?

There's been an allegation made that you're involved

in the kidnapping of a child.

That is ridiculous.

Still, I have reason to take the claim seriously,

so, if you don't mind, Detective Sizemore and I would like to come out

- to your place of residence. - This is coming from Ian Ridley?

'Cause it's pretty clear from the fact that he tried to kill me

- in his car that he has... - Even so...

a pretty serious grudge against me.

Even so, I would like to come out and take a look.

Okay?

Or if you'd prefer, I can get a warrant.

Okay?

Yeah, I can take you there right now.

I've got nothing to hide.

Great.

What, why didn't you charge him?

Because I've got no evidence,

and right now he's giving me his full cooperation, so...

Okay, listen, listen, listen, listen.

If he's got her there, okay, I need to be there when you free her.

- No. Absolutely not. - No, I have to be.

- Ian, that's not happening... - Listen, I'll stay in the car.

I... But I have to be there.

Okay, all right. Answer me, honestly,

what happened between you and him during the car chase?

Did you initiate it?

I needed to see where he was going, and I know I pushed it.

But if she's there, she needs to see her dad.

Please. Please.

Okay.

Okay.

But you stay in the car, outside the property...

- Yep. - Or I will charge you

- with reckless driving. - Okay.

- Do you understand? - Yes. Yes.

Okay, come on.

Stay close to Ridley. Watch him.

You got it.

If you could wipe your feet before you come in.

We try to keep a clean house.

The upstairs.

I mean, this is not what I expected, right?

Yeah, just keep an eye out.

This is it.

It's quite a house.

Yeah, it is.

Read a lot?

Yeah, we read books. Prefer them to screens.

Are you married?

Yeah.

Be good to speak to your wife.

She's out, but I speak for her anyway.

Right.

Well, it's a...

It's a colorful house.

Yeah, Jenna is the creative one, not me.

And my daughter.

Here she is.

Boss...

Sarah, this is Sergeant Sizemore and this is...

Detective Senior Sergeant Pena.

Pena.

This is Sarah.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi, Sarah.

You can call me Izzy.

And this is Ben.

Hi.

- Okay. - Yeah, hi.

Sarah, how old are you?

Fourteen.

Can I get you some tea?

I'd love some tea. That'd be great. Yeah.

Thank you. That'd be great.

My pleasure.

So, Sarah, is it?

She's... She's your daughter?

Correct.

It'd be good if you could provide some proof that she's yours.

You guys follow me to my property, and then you accuse me of something...

Mr. Reid, it's not a big ask.

Hospital records, vaccination records.

We don't inject chemicals into us.

I mean, that's why we live here, to get away from that.

A birth certificate?

If I get you a birth certificate, will you leave us alone?

It'd certainly help.

Deal.

- I swear to God that is her. - We cannot know that.

- She matches the profile. - Keep him here, all right?

- I'm gonna talk to the girl. - Okay.

Thanks again for the tea.

All this art around, is that you?

My ma helps a little bit, but yeah.

Can I take a look?

- Yeah. - This one in the easel, is that...

Are you still going or...

Yeah, sort of just trying to work out the faces and everything.

Is that the house?

- There? - Yeah.

It's really good.

Managed to fish her out.

Thanks, Mr. Reid.

Is it just the three of you?

Just you, your mum and dad?

We have a lot of pets.

And you've always lived on the farm?

I mean, it's a pretty amazing place.

I know.

It belonged to Ma's aunt.

We took it over when she died.

I wasn't born yet, but my da says it was pretty run down.

He fixed it up.

Wow, that's a lot of work.

Yeah.

Sarah, I want to...

I want to ask you something.

Might seem a bit strange, but did you go

to a party couple nights ago in town?

I just wanna know if maybe you might have made

a Triple O phone call that night?

All right, let's get that tea.

That's a nice staircase. Did you build that too?

Yeah.

I don't go to parties.

- Okay. - Hey, how's that tea coming along?

Good, it's ready.

- Yeah. - Okay.

She's pretty clever, hey?

Yeah, we were just admiring.

I know.

Ian, the boss has just...

- I know. - Asked me to make sure

- you stay in the car... - Okay.

So if you can stay in the vehicle, that'd be... that'd be best.

Well, thanks again for your cooperation,

and we'll get this back to you once we're finished with it.

Nice to meet you, Sarah.

Mags.

That's Mags. That's her. It's... That is her.

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey. - Back this way.

- Ian. - That's her. Listen.

- Come on. You can't, Ian. - It's her! That's Mags!

What the fuck is happening?

Why did you leave her down there?

Pena? Ben.

- Ian, I just... - Go back to the car.

- It's her. That is her. - I asked you to wait...

I asked you to wait in the car.

- What's happening? - Listen, all right?

He says she's his daughter, she says the same.

All right?

There's proof. They have a birth certificate.

It all looks legitimate, Ian.

I'm sorry, but it's there in black and white.

No, no, no, no, no.

No. That's impossible.

Look, Sizemore is down there. He's still taking a look around.

- Okay, okay. - Maybe...

You need to order a DNA test.

- You need to get a court order. - I don't have grounds for a court order.

Okay? And I'm not gonna take a DNA sample from a minor without parental consent.

- It's out of the question. - Pena, this is procedural bullshit.

- All right, I understand that. - She's there.

- You need to calm down. We have... - Do you understand? Okay?

- Ian, stop, stop! - He's doing God knows what to her.

- I mean... - I let you come here

on the condition that you would do as I say.

Now, you are out on bail. If you are not careful,

you're gonna find yourself in custody. Get in the car.

Come on, Jenna, just pick up your phone.

Just pick up the phone, please.

- Pick it up. - Still nothing?

No.

I'll just text her instead.

Thank you so much for all of that, sweetheart, you were so good.

They'll be back, won't they?

Yeah, they'll be back.

So?

So...

When the officer leaves,

I want you to go round the property and make sure the animals have

all the food and water they need for a while, okay?

Enough food and water to last them.

- "To last"? What do you mean, "to last"? - Yeah.

'Cause we're going away.

What? Where?

Just somewhere where we're safe.

- But Ma isn't even back yet. - Well, she'll be back

- by the time that we leave, won't she? - What if she's not coming back?

Sa... Please.

Will you just go and check on the animals for me?

Fuck. Fuck.

She has been there on a fucking farm, for 11 years with these two fucking people.

If you didn't see her up close, how can you be sure that it's Mags?

'Cause I know, Deb. I know.

- We've seen the birth certificate. - It's a fake. It can be faked.

That's why we need to check it. We need to run it through B, D and M, okay?

- Now, I've got the number... - Hang on a sec.

You said Pena's across this, right?

- So let Pena do her job... - Pena's not all over this.

She's on a murder investigation. We need to know.

I need to know. You need to know.

It's her, Deb. It is her.

Can you please just check it?

Please.

Sure, fine. Yep, let's check. Let's check.

- Henry Matthew Reid... - Just give me a second, mate.

You got a birth certificate number?

Yes, it's 568695.

Henry Matthew Reid, Jennifer Elaine Reid.

All right, okay, if it's legit, it'll load up any second.

Sarah Elizabeth Reid. Female.

- 6 September 2012. - No.

Bloody hell, you'd think I'd have

- learned my lesson by now. - No, no, no.

- I swear, Deb. - No.

- I swear to God, I swear... - Ian. No.

No, Ian, I'm done.

I'm over here.

I heard the chimes, but I wasn't sure if it was you or your dad.

You said you didn't wanna see me again.

Are you okay?

I guess.

Are you?

Did my father do something?

I saw police cars at your house.

It was just a mistake.

You reckon?

We're going away.

On a trip.

Where?

I don't know.

Are you coming back?

I don't know.

Will I see you again?

You don't know.

I wrote you a letter.

It says all the stuff in my tree house is yours.

You sure?

It's only a loan.

I need someone to look after it while I'm away,

and I thought... Well, you live nearby, so...

Please don't go.

I'll come back one day.

My stuff had better be here when I do.

Thanks for being my friend.

I've never had one before.

Henry, what did you tell the police?

I told the police nothing, same as you, I hope.

What happened? What'd you tell them?

What did you tell the police, Henry?

Donald, calm down.

What do you think is gonna happen now, mate?

Hey, Donnie, we left a few for you, mate!

Thanks, mate!

What, you think they're gonna just drop it, do ya?

They're not gonna fucking drop it.

What's gonna happen now is that we're leaving.

What do you mean you're leaving? Where are you going?

Somewhere they won't find us.

Are you going back to Dad?

That's a bad fucking idea.

The man's a fanatic, Henry.

He's ruined our lives.

Well, Donald, in a few hours,

we'll be gone and this won't be your problem anymore.

- Okay? - No.

No, no, I'm fucking coming out there right now.

No, you're not.

Donald, what I need from you is just to be quiet a little bit longer.

A bit longer? Mate, I can't stay...

I can't do this. I can't do this, Henry.

- Thanks, Brother. - Henry!

Fuck!

Paper daisy?

Yeah. I think I prefer these. Thank you.

- Yeah. They're lovely. - Thanks so much.

- Hello. I won't be a minute. - Hi.

- So, that's 35 for those. - Thank you. Just by card, please.

Yeah. Just on there when you're ready.

Thank you.

And when you get home, just cut them on the diagonal,

put them in some water and then change it, like, every three days.

- Sure. Thank you so much. - Okay, thank you.

- Bye. - See you.

Hi, how can I help you?

It's amazing what you've created here. It's really beautiful.

Yeah, I learned from my mom.

She had fresh flowers on the breakfast table every single morning.

So, yeah.

I was born into it.

Is there something I can help you find?

I'm Jen.

- Debbie. - Hi.

I was told I couldn't have children, and then when I got pregnant...

it was a miracle.

Yeah, yeah.

I guess so.

This is your first?

No.

I had a little girl, but she died a long time ago.

Still, you've been able to move on to start a new family.

Yeah.

Yep.

I've actually gotta do some stuff out the back.

I envy you.

You've made peace with it.

Henry, my husband, he tried to fix it,

- but he couldn't, and... - Wait.

You're Jennifer Reid.

Henry Reid.

Jennifer Reid.

- I just... - What do you want?

- I just wanted... - Why are you here?

I'm sorry, I...

- What are you doing? Hey! - I'm so sorry... I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Wait. What are you doing here?

- Why did you come here? - I'm so sorry.

- Wait! - I'm so sorry.

- So sorry. - Wait!

They let you go today?

I don't want any trouble, mate.

What?

What did you say?

You don't want any trouble?

I'm sorry.

I never wanted this.

What?

I never wanted any of this.

You never wanted any of this?

You never wanted any of this?

Well, which part of it, Donnie, did you not want?

You mean the part where your brother kidnapped my daughter?

How long have you known about it?

What do you know about it?

Tell me.

Tell me!

Donnie, I'm begging you. Just talk to me. Just...

We're meant to be friends!

Just tell me the fucking truth, just tell me what you know.

I'm just trying to get Maggie back. That's all I'm trying to do.

You all right, Don?

We're just having a chat, mate. It's a private matter.

I can't help you.

You need to go.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

I know what you've done.

How could you do that?

How could you do that to a little girl?

I don't know.

I don't know, Donnie. I really don't.

I'm so sorry.

I've been hiding, Donnie,

and I don't wanna hide anymore, but I don't know what to do.

Do you know he wants to take you to the compound?

Did you know that?

It's madness!

You can't do that to Sarah.

It's just all so messed up.

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey.

Why don't you stay here with me, and we'll figure it out?

Together.

I can't. I can't.

I've gotta face this.

For Sarah.

Why did you come here?

Because I needed to tell you what really happened.

I'm sorry.

I said too much.

She's fine. She's fine.

- Baby's fine. - Yeah?

It looked a lot worse than it actually was, so...

- I'm fine. - Yeah?

My heart rate's a bit high, so they're gonna keep me in overnight, but...

- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm good.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

How was Jennifer Reid at your store?

I didn't know it was her.

She was just a woman.

She came in, she seemed a bit odd, and, like, upset.

- Right. What did she want? - She...

- And what did you talk about? I mean... - She was just asking me questions.

She was talking about the pregnancy, and how it's going,

and she asked if I had another child.

- Why? - I don't know, Ian,

- she's... - Christ. Okay, okay.

We need to speak to her. We need to get her on side.

Maybe we can just get her to admit that they took Mags.

- Jesus Christ, Ian. - Come on, Bill,

- she's ready to tell the truth. - All right, then we go to Pena.

What we need to do is we need to get down there now.

- No, what we need to do is just wait. - No, we don't fucking wait, Bill.

Because once Henry finds out that she's been talking to Deb, they'll take off.

And if we let them go now, they're gone!

For good.

Bill, I need you, I need your help now.

Please.

I know I'm right, Bill.

Trust me.

Suppose it can't hurt to go down and have a chat.

Okay. It's okay. It's fine.

- Hey... - Yeah.

- It's okay. - I know.

- I know. Okay. - Just rest, okay? I love you.

Love you.

Ma's home!

Sarah, wait. Please!

- Ma! Ma! - You okay?

Ma, I was so scared.

The police have been here, and now Da's saying we have to leave.

You need to talk to him. I don't know what's going on.

- I need you to go inside. - You need to talk him out of it.

Please go inside, I need to talk to your father, please. Please.

Jenna, I understand you wanna talk, but we really have to go quite soon.

I just spoke to her.

The mother.

I know where we're going, and we're going to be safe.

Maybe I don't wanna go.

They're coming for us now,

we're gonna go to prison if we don't leave soon, okay?

So this is not a discussion.

No, it's not, is it, Henry? Nothing ever was.

I don't think that's true.

It's always been the two of us, we've always been in this together.

Let's not pretend.

Jen, when you married me, you said you would stand by me for life.

And now, what are you doing to me? What are you doing?

What's your plan, Henry? For that girl in there?

We're just gonna keep hiding forever?

My plan is to save this family.

That's all it's ever been, us!

No.

I chose you. Okay? You chose me.

But that girl in there...

she didn't have a choice in any of this.

We owe her that.

I know.

Not yet.

Just not yet, okay?

We gotta keep fighting.

She's happy.

We brought her up. We're her family.

- Not them. - Okay.

They're not good people.

We're good people.

You have to believe me, we're good people.

When we get there, you just stay near the car,

- all right? - Yep, understood.

Nothing stupid, okay?

I know.

No, stay here.

Afternoon.

Senior Sergeant Bill McCracken.

I know who you are. What do you want?

I see the car's all loaded up. You heading somewhere?

What's he doing here?

He's assisting me with an investigation.

- But I don't want him on my property. - It'll only take a second.

You might've heard that there was a young girl's body

- that was found not far from here. - It's got nothing to do with us.

Jenna!

Jenna, no.

You're Ian Ridley?

Yeah.

Deborah, is she okay?

She's in hospital.

- I know you didn't mean to upset her. - I'm so sorry.

- I didn't mean any of this to happ... - I don't know about

- anything that's happened... - I need to see your hands.

Can you move away from your car, please?

Ma?

- Maggie? - Ian, don't do this.

Sarah, no, no, no, no. You come inside.

Sarah, Jenna, please, inside!

Mag...

My name's Ian, we spoke the other night, on the phone.

Do you remember that? Do you remember when you came out to town the other night?

Listen, I brought something for you, I...

- What are you doing? - Stop talking to her!

Do you remember this?

It used to belong to you. You remember this?

I used to lay it next to your head when you would try and go to sleep.

Do you remember the sound?

You used to love this.

Sir, please step away from your car. Show me your hands now, please.

I know you may not remember me, but I remember you.

I've been searching for you for so long.

You think your name is Maggie because it is Maggie.

I'm your dad, Maggie.

- Shut up! - I'm your dad, Maggie.

Leave our daughter alone!

She's not our daughter.

- Don't! No, no! Stop! - Drop your weapon!

- Drop the fucking weapon! - Sarah!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Stop that! Stop it! Stop!

Ma, Ma!

Da, she's been shot. We need help!

Hurry, she's been shot!

We need help! Help, please! She's been hit!

Now you go round the other side of the car, please.

Go around the other side. I'll go check on Jenna.

Come on, Jenna.

- Get up. Putting you in here. - Okay.

Help your mother.

We're gonna have to get out of here in this car.

Bill, fuck. Bill!

Bill.
