- [Father] Flower,

don't forget your sandcastle bucket.

- [Daughter] I'm looking for it

in the closet.

- She'll dig all day, it doesn't matter.

(father sighing) Right, don't forget this.

- She better not get sand on me again.

- Well, I'm gonna bury you up to your neck,

so you won't have to worry about that.

(father straining)

- That. - Oof, anything else?

- That, that. (father sighing)

- Let's hope there's enough room in the car

for you to fit.

- (laughing) Well, I've left more in the driveway.

(birds singing)

(baggage clattering)

(door clacking) (ominous music)

- Morning, Daniel.

It's a big day for you, isn't it?

(birds singing)

- Victor.

W-We're on our way out now,

so whatever business you think we've got.

- Business?

That's already settled.

Except I don't lose,

not to you.

- Victor,

the kids.

- You should've walked away, Daniel.

You should've known your place.

- I won fair.

The contract's mine.

- There's no way you could've built those resorts

for the prices you quoted.

You undercut me.

- Well, it's easy to offer a fair price

when there's no skimming,

no kickbacks,

and no side deals with the supply houses.

- You do business your way,

I'll do it mine.

- Look, it's done.

Now, what do you really think you can achieve

by showing up at my home?

- This.

- Thank you. (children faintly playing)

- Are you sure you can handle this?

- Aunt Connie,

I have been preparing for this my whole life.

Of course I can.

- Your mum will be so proud of you.

After all these years

and everything that's happened,

I've never seen you cry,

not even in therapy.

Well, I guess this will be some kind of therapy.

- I hope so.

I hope I've done right by you, Clara.

After everything, I just wanted to give you

a normal, peaceful life.

- Oh my God,

you have given me so much more than that.

You gave me a home and somewhere to feel safe.

- Just remember, your name is Clara Simmons,

not Clara Hale.

- Aw. - I've set up a Instagram,

Snapchat and Facebook

in Clara Simmons' name.

- Oh, you are thorough. (laughing)

- And you're an Olympic swimmer.

- Oh my God, really?

You could've given something easier.

- It's for swimming lessons for a child.

And you're an expert swimmer.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

(door slamming)

(trunk clacking)

- [Mrs. Marrow] You must be Clara.

(door clacking)

Welcome to Marrow Estate.

- [Clara] Thank you for having me.

- I'll show you around.

You'll find there's no shortage of things to do.

Victor believes in having everything under one roof.

Comfort, distraction,

control.

- Sounds great.

- This will be your domain.

Isla spends hours in here.

She's strong in the water,

like her father.

- Well, I'll make sure she gets everything she needs.

- Victor was a swimmer, you know?

Competed all through university.

He likes to think that drive is genetic.

Isla has it.

I see it in her shoulders,

her breath.

- Boo. (Clara gasping)

(wife and Clara laughing)

- What she doesn't have yet is focus,

discipline.

That's where you come in.

- Discipline can be taught.

- Yes,

and expected.

I don't want a little girl

splashing around for medals at community meets.

I want precision, dedication.

Olympic-level training.

- Of course, I understand.

- Victor believes that greatness is a choice,

a family legacy.

She'll carry his name,

his reputation,

and he won't ever waste it.

- I'll make sure she pushes harder

than she ever has before.

- Good.

That's the kind of language he likes to hear.

You'll find the Marrows are demanding.

We expect loyalty, perfection.

Not everyone can handle it.

Most people leave, eventually.

- Well, I'm not everyone.

- Dinner's at seven.

I'll have a room prepared for you upstairs.

(pensive music)

(bucket clacking)

(birds singing)

A new instructor arrived.

- I know.

- Her name is Clara something.

- Simmons, Clara Simmons.

Investigated her thoroughly.

- Was that really necessary?

- Lillian, land development's the dirtiest business I know.

The reason I'm so successful

is because I'm ruthless and thorough.

A lot of my work occurs outside of the law,

so I don't want people coming in unless they're checked.

Plus, she was the cheapest of all the candidates.

Practically giving it us for free.

- Are you sure this is really necessary?

Isla likes to just splash around.

I don't see the harm in that.

- You wanted a child of your own.

I agreed because it wasn't meant to be my problem.

You look after Isla,

I don't have to be a father every night.

And I don't want a little girl

sucking up our resources.

She will be a competitor.

- I want her to swim too,

but let's be realistic about her expectations.

- I didn't sign up to bankroll hobbies

that don't return on profit.

If you wanna polish her up for a press photo, fine,

but I won't subsidize sentiment.

- You could at least be kinder about it.

- Kindness costs, Lillian.

You're the one that wanted her.

Don't turn my generosity into guilt.

(ice rattling)

(pensive music)

(drawers sliding)

(gun clacking)

(phone ringing)

(gun knocking)

(Clara sighing)

- Hey.

- [Connie] Well, how is it?

How is the family?

- Oh, just as I thought it would be.

- [Connie] Good.

Make the most of it, Clara.

Be patient.

- Yeah, I plan to.

Okay, thanks for checking in.

(crickets chirping) (dogs barking)

- Clara, you'll want to meet the rest of us properly.

This is Kane, eldest.

Lives in the gym,

as you'll probably notice.

- I'm the golden boy, yeah?

(sighing) I was,

I was the golden boy,

before my father's contracts

mattered more than my trophies.

What can you do?

- And Ivy, middle child,

always keeps us entertained.

- Cheers to that.

Do you know what middle means?

- No. (laughing)

- Forgettable, invisible.

But hey, someone has to drink the wine

no one else appreciates.

- I don't need a teacher.

I'm already better than everyone.

- Oh, shh.

And of course this is Isla,

our prodigy.

You'll be spending plenty of time together.

- If you're boring,

I won't listen.

- Oh, well, I guess I better be interesting, then.

(ominous music)

(plate clacking)

- You must be Clara,

the instructor.

- Yes, sir. - There's no need for sir.

Victor will do.

So, Clara, tell me,

what are your family like?

- Um, (laughing)

they were strong, ambitious,

much like your own.

- Oh, good.

Strong families build empires.

- Or destroy them. (laughing)

- Ivy exaggerates.

She's our free spirit.

- Free spirit, reckless junk.

Same thing, right?

- Ah, don't mind her,

it's middle child syndrome.

I'm the one that matters.

That's always been the case.

- Oh.

- And discipline,

you raised with much of it?

- Enough to know what happens

when people don't play by the rules.

- Clara has a degree in nutrition,

and of course, the swimming titles.

She's the perfect influence for Isla.

- Do you think I can win the Olympics?

- Yeah, I do.

I think that you could do anything you put your mind to,

as long as you work hard.

- Yeah, hard work is overrated, yeah?

Strength is what counts.

- No, luck is the real thing,

and a lot of wine.

Shall we? - Discipline,

power and loyalty are what matters.

Everything else will follow.

- I've lived my whole life by that.

(door clacking)

- Hello? - Oh,

pool's not shut, is it?

- No.

- Oh, but that door's never usually shut.

- Oh, right, I don't know, I just started here.

- (sighing) Definitely not contaminated either.

- Nope.

Not unless you're trying to contaminate it.

(towel rustling)

- Absolutely. (grunting)

(water splashing)

(grunting) Aw, that's better.

(laughing) Consider it a water test.

- Mm, I really needed one of those. (laughing)

- You're welcome. (laughing)

Every time I come in here,

I, I feel like I'm in some sort of evil villain's aquarium,

don't you think?

- Uh, no, I didn't quite (laughing) get that vibe.

- Oh, come on.

(laughing) Look at it.

Who even needs water this clean?

It's like drinking water with tile.

(water splashing)

- I wouldn't drink it. (laughing)

- (sighing) So you must be the new instructor?

(scoffing) Brave soul.

Isla doesn't exactly listen.

- Oh my God, I've noticed.

Bloody hell.

- (laughing) You know, she once said,

when she grows up, she's going to buy me.

- What? (laughing)

- She said she'd keep me in the guesthouse.

- (laughing) No, she didn't.

Buy you?

- They're all ridiculous like that,

whole family spoilt.

But hey, they let me use this poll,

so I can't complain.

- What is it you actually do here?

- (laughing) My favorite question.

And the answer,

absolutely nothing.

- Oh.

- I'm just treading water

until my inheritance comes in.

Professional floater.

Highly skilled at staying put.

(water splashing) (relative grunting)

(Clara laughing)

Hey, don't judge.

(sighing) It's exhausting.

Imagine having no purpose,

but from (sighing) late lunches

and drinking over-poured cocktails.

- Oh my God,

it sounds awful.

- (laughing) I know, right?

(sighing) Finally, someone understands my struggles.

(Clara laughing)

- You don't know how lucky you are.

So if you think they're all ridiculous,

why is it you're sticking around here so much?

- (scoffing) Because ridiculous can also be entertaining.

And it's the best pool in the county by far.

- [Clara] (laughing) Is it?

- (laughing) Yeah, you don't think so?

- Um, not really. (laughing)

- [Relative] You really don't care?

- Nope.

- Most people are falling over each other

to get a seat at their table.

- [Clara] Not really my scene.

- (sighing) Good.

And don't never let it be.

This house eats people alive.

- Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.

- (laughing) Something tells me you can.

Well, don't let me distract you,

but if you ever get bored of pouring chlorine,

I make an excellent margarita.

- Ooh, margaritas?

It's actually my favorite.

So maybe I'll take you up on it.

- Is that so?

(water splashing)

- Cannonball.

(water splashing)

- [Clara] Oh.

- Aw. (Clara laughing)

Well, I guess that's my cue.

(relative grunting)

Don't let me get in the way of greatness.

(Clara laughing)

See you around, Captain Chlorine.

- [Clara] See ya.

- Why do I have to learn how to swim?

I'm never going to swim.

All I wanna do in the water is play.

- Well, playing in the water is fun,

but learning to swim is power.

- Power?

- Yeah, it means you can go further than anyone else.

It means you're safe when others aren't.

And it means that the water listens to you

rather than the other way around.

(floaty smacking) You ready?

Okay, take that.

Okay. (laughing)

Okay, kick your legs.

Ooh, (laughing) oh, no, no.

Little kicks, nice and controlled.

- My mum said that you were a swimming champion.

- [Clara] I am.

Well, I was.

- How did you get so good?

- Well, (sighing)

when I was younger,

I, I had a lot of pain.

And sometimes it felt like

I was carrying far too much than I could handle.

But when I was swimming,

it was the only time it would ever go away.

- The water made it better?

- Yeah, the water,

it has a way of washing it all away.

All of that pain and anger and heartbreak,

it just went away

when I got in the water.

And if you keep on swimming,

then suddenly it becomes just you in the water,

and it feels freeing.

(light music)

- I wanna be free too.

- Keep swimming.

Keep your legs kicking.

Come on.

(both laughing)

(water splashing)

- Isla, what's in there?

- Oh, that's my favorite place.

Daddy says it sweats all the bad stuff out of you.

- Really?

I wish I had one of those when I was your age.

Okay, kick, kick, kick, kick.

Come on.

Keep on concentrating.

And rest.

(laughing) Nice.

Good work.

(traffic faintly whizzing)

- You must've really worn Isla out today.

She went straight to bed without dinner.

- Oh, she worked really hard.

- I hope she has some energy for the gala this weekend.

- I'm not going to that fucking circus this weekend.

- Excuse me?

- I'm not wasting another weekend, yeah,

in a tux,

shaking hands with people

who couldn't bench the bar if their life depended on it.

I'm not leaving, man.

- And God forbid Kane misses a workout.

- Yeah, I've got training.

I need the house gym.

I'm not leaving.

- You'll be there.

This family doesn't skip obligations.

- Yeah, it's not my obligation, yeah, it's yours.

You're the one who plays kingmaker,

you schmooze the donors.

Me, I'm gonna sweat it out where it counts.

- Enough.

You do not get to choose which family name you carry.

You carry them all.

- You think 'cause you built all this,

I owe you my weekends?

No, I'm gonna stay,

I'm gonna lift and I'm gonna steam.

I don't need this fucking stage.

- Fine, stay.

Just remember,

any stage you have

is the one I give you.

- Nonsense.

(door clacking)

Aw, man.

Aw, what a nightmare.

(suspenseful music)

(dial clacking)

(Kane exhaling)

Fucking hell, mate.

What the fuck?

Bro.

(door knocking)

Anybody out there?

(chest smacking)

Fucking hell.

Fuck.

(door rattling)

(door knocking)

Open the door.

Do you know who the fuck I am?

It won't open.

Open. (door rattling)

Ah.

Open the door.

I can't fucking breathe in this place.

(Kane grunting) (door banging)

Open the door. (grunting)

(Kane panting)

(door squeaking)

- The sauna was serviced just last week.

It doesn't make sense it would malfunction like that.

- What are you saying?

- The paramedic said detectives

can come back and investigate.

- No, no police, no detectives.

I'll check the sauna.

- But what if-- - No buts,

no police, ever.

(door clacking)

(door slamming)

- Nice bucket.

You heading to the beach or something?

- No.

I haven't been to the beach in years.

- I thought you were supposed to be this champion swimmer?

- I am, I just prefer the pool.

Last time I went to the beach,

I got interrupted. (laughing)

- Interrupted?

That sounds like a story.

You care to share it?

- Trust me, you don't wanna know.

(pen clicking)

- Okay, you don't need to tell me.

Well, then what are you waiting on?

- The right time, I guess.

- [Relative] Time for what, permission?

The perfect wave?

- You are so persistent.

- (laughing) All right.

(Clara laughing)

Just don't let the right time become an excuse.

That's all I'm gonna say.

- I won't.

I'll go when I'm ready.

How was the funeral?

- (sighing) Cold, empty.

Victor stood there

like it was some kind of board meeting.

There was no warmth,

no stories.

No one dared say anything real.

- Mm.

Death has a real way of showing us who people are.

- Wow, that's deep.

(sighing) What do you mean by that?

- When I was younger,

I went through a lot.

And death, it made me stronger, sharper.

I had a lot to carry.

And the only thing that helped me was swimming.

And when I was in the water,

it felt like I was free of all the stress

and the anger and the hate.

And I guess what I'm trying to say is,

death made me into a swimmer,

it made me into a survivor.

- Wow, that's dark.

- Yeah, sorry. (laughing)

(relative laughing)

I guess death even sharpens you

or it breaks you.

- (laughing) You're not like anyone else in this house.

- Good, I don't wanna be.

(Clara throat clearing)

(relative sighing)

- Kane would've hated this silence.

- And yet silence is what lasts.

- Maybe this is karma.

- There's no such thing, Lillian.

(pensive music)

- You don't think, after everything,

all the deals,

all the people you've crushed,

that something would come back to us?

- Nothing comes back.

There's no force keeping score.

There's no invisible justice.

There's only power.

You have it or you don't.

- But Kane was strong.

- [Victor] Kane was weak, that's all.

- He was your son.

- And weakness isn't forgiven,

not in this world.

- Have you thought about what I said?

- About what?

- Getting security cameras.

- No cameras, you know that, Lillian.

- But maybe Kane's accident

could've been avoided

if we could monitor all the rooms.

- No cameras, no eyes.

Security systems can get hacked.

They'll see things before we do.

- But we'd be safe.

- We are safe.

- Did you check the sauna?

- There's nothing wrong with the sauna.

- I don't think I can keep living like this,

pretending we're untouchable.

- You'll live exactly like this,

because you have no choice.

(water splashing) (pensive music)

- Still got it.

Mm.

(water splashing)

(water splashing)

- What did I tell you?

One stroke, one breath.

- I can't.

I get scared if I don't breathe fast enough.

- Well, then you're gonna lose the rhythm.

You know what happens when you lose the rhythm?

The water wins.

- I wanna take a break.

(light music)

- Okay.

Hey,

I'm sorry about your brother, Isla.

- It's fine, Daddy says we have to be strong all the time,

and even now.

- Did he?

Well, let me tell you something.

Allowing yourself to feel emotion,

that's the real strength,

not holding it in.

Okay, you ready to do it again?

Yes, there we go.

You're, you're getting it. (laughing)

- Did your family swim like that too, together?

- Yeah, they did.

We did everything together.

Until one day, we couldn't anymore.

- What happened?

- (sighing) Well, that is a story for another time, my love.

Okay, come on, show me again.

(water splashing)

One stroke, one breath.

Yes, (laughing) yes.

(plate clinking)

- To Kane. - Put it down.

- Victor.

- [Victor] We do not celebrate weakness.

We do not glorify failure.

- He was not weak.

- He's gone, that's all that matters.

We do not speak of it again.

- Perhaps we should-- - Enough.

We're done here.

(Clara grunting) (water splashing)

(pensive music)

- Oi, pool girl.

- Ivy, didn't know you were still up.

- I couldn't sleep,

for obvious reasons.

- Sorry for your loss.

- Are you?

- Of course.

- Hmm, I was thinking,

everything was normal until you showed up.

- Right.

What are you implying, Ivy?

- I'm just making an observation.

(water splashing)

- What do you want me to say?

Accidents happen.

- Not in my family.

- Right, on that note, I'm gonna go to bed.

- I'm not done talking.

- (laughing) Clearly you've had

a little bit too much to drink.

That's okay, I, I get it.

You're sad about your brother, you loved him.

- Fuck him.

- You're hurting me.

- Am I?

Who are you, Clara?

- You know who I am.

I just work here.

I'm just trying to do my job.

- (scoffing) What?

What kind of swimming instructor

hides a knife in her room?

If you're that smart,

you should lock your door.

(Clara and Ivy grunting) (dramatic music)

(water splashing)

(Clara and Ivy grunting)

(water splashing) (Ivy gasping)

(Ivy grunting)

(Ivy screaming)

(Ivy choking)

(pensive music)

(crickets chirping) (owl hooting)

(bottle clinking)

(birds singing)

(ominous music)

(Lillian screaming)

(Clara gasping)

- [Officer] The evidence indicates that your daughter

had too much to drink

and was unable to stay afloat.

This will be considered an accidental death.

However, you have the right to ask for an autopsy

if you'd like to open an investigation.

- No autopsy, no investigation.

- Are you serious?

I don't want the authorities

snooping around my home.

(wind blowing)

(forlorn music)

(attendees faintly speaking)

- Strange thing funerals.

Everyone in the same room,

no one really together.

- Mm, sometimes death doesn't pull us together,

pushes us apart.

- (laughing) You've always got a way of words, don't you?

- [Clara] Some of us don't know how to grieve at all.

- Victor,

talks about strength,

but confuses it with silence.

Kane,

Ivy,

they're gone,

and he can't even say their names.

- Sometimes silence can say more than words.

- When I die,

I don't wanna room like this.

No rules, mp performances,

just people remembering me.

- That's beautiful.

You know what I can't get my head around though?

How any dad can be so unbothered

about their child's death.

- Well, technically, they're not even his children.

They're all adopted.

Isla's his only biological child.

You know, strange things have happened

since you've turned up.

- It's (sighing) a coincidence, I guess.

- Yeah, I guess.

- Do you believe in karma now, Victor?

Two children,

gone,

one after the other.

- Kane as weak,

Ivy was a drunk.

It was an alcohol-related death, that's all.

- You can't really believe that.

- I believe what I see.

She put the bottle before her own breath.

The pool took care of the rest.

- You make it sound like she deserved it.

- [Victor] Weakness deserves nothing.

- One day you'll see,

you don't own this world.

You can't keep taking without something being taken back.

- Karma's a fairytale for the powerless.

♪ Hmm, hmm ♪

- Nice humming.

- Thanks. (Clara laughing)

- Your towel.

Okay, ready?

Three, two, one.

Whee. (laughing)

Okay, got it?

- Thank you.

I miss the noise.

Kane used to splash (laughing) so much.

- People make noise in their own way.

- Clara, teach me dives next week?

- Yeah, I'll teach you dives next week.

- Will you teach me how to float as well like you?

(ominous music)

(water splashing)

Clara.

- Yeah, of, of course I'll teach you.

Ready?

(water splashing)

Got him. - Thank you.

(forlorn music) (door clacking)

(Clara crying)

(suspenseful music) (crickets chirping)

(leaves rustling)

(water splashing)

- I came to see what took my daughter.

You're out late.

- Yeah, I (laughing) prefer the nighttime.

I like the silence.

- Ivy made decisions,

dangerous decisions.

Reckless life, reckless end.

- I'm, I'm sorry for your loss.

I know how that feels.

- You're young, Clara.

It's your first job, right?

You'll make money,

you'll balance your books.

- I'm already balancing my books.

- You just need to be careful.

People notice when books are being tampered with.

How about loyalty?

Loyalty has edges.

Edges cut both ways.

- Tell me, what happens if people aren't loyal?

- Then the house finds ways of dealing with it,

quietly, efficiently.

- Like I said, I enjoyed the silence.

- Things have gone a little off kilter

since you arrived,

maybe you should leave.

- No. (laughing)

No, I have a job to do.

And Isla, she deserves it.

I wanna stay and I wanna finish her training for her.

I'm sure you can understand.

- Fine.

Just be careful.

(water flowing)

(Clara throat clearing)

- I didn't think anyone would be awake yet.

- Aw, quite like the mornings.

(cup knocking)

They're quiet, peaceful.

- You remind me of myself when I was younger.

Quiet, watchful,

always listening more than speaking.

Back then I thought,

if I did everything right,

if I looked perfect

and said the right words,

life would reward me.

But life doesn't hand out rewards.

Not really.

You could marry a man with all the money in the world,

and still,

still feel like you're locked

in someone else's cage.

You're such a sweet girl, Clara.

I hope you have a better life than I've had.

I hope you find someone

who makes you feel free.

- I believe you don't have to find someone

for a better life.

You have to build one.

- I've had all the riches anyone could want,

but it doesn't mean a thing

if you're not with someone you love.

- Love is the most important thing in life.

- If there's one thing I've learned,

it's that you have to keep hold of the good.

That's what stays with you.

You carry the love you've known.

Don't mistake me, Clara,

I'm not some babe in the woods.

I know what kind of deals built all this,

and I know karma comes for everyone

sooner or later,

even me.

- So you stood by

and you let it happen.

(ominous music)

(button clicking) (electricity sparking)

(birds singing) (pensive music)

(rain pitter-pattering)

(birds singing)

- (sighing) They're saying it doesn't look like an accident.

Something about wires maybe.

- What, you think someone killed them?

- You think someone did this on purpose?

- I don't know.

I mean, sometimes people's pasts

eventually catch up on them.

- I grew up around these people, Clara.

I thought I knew them,

but now, I'm starting to wonder if I ever did.

- You know, sometimes, Ethan,

you can go your whole life

thinking you know someone,

really they've been wearing this mask the whole time

and you never really truly know them

until they're, until they're gone.

- If this is foul play,

if someone's targeting the family,

if means no one here is safe.

- No one's ever really safe.

(bell ringing)

(door clacking) (Isla crying)

(forlorn music)

- I miss her.

- Crying doesn't bring people back.

- It just hurts all the time.

- Pain is a teacher.

You learn from it

or you let it break you.

- But why do bad things keep happening?

First Kane,

then Ivy,

and now Mum.

Why?

- Because the world's not kind.

You can't trust anyone,

not family, not friends.

The only thing that's gonna keep you safe

is looking out for yourself.

- But I don't want to be alone.

- Then don't be weak.

Weakness destroys people.

Strength is the only thing that survives.

Remember that.

Trust no one,

and don't expect the world to give you anything.

(water splashing)

- You know, you're not actually that bad of a swimmer.

- Are you spying on me? (laughing)

- Must run in the family.

- Yeah, does actually.

My dad, he always loved the water.

Not in the same way that I did.

More like he loved the idea of the water.

- What was he like?

Tell me.

- Okay.

Well, to start,

he used to make us pancakes every morning.

(laughing) And when I wanted more syrup,

he'd sneak it in so my mum wouldn't see. (laughing)

Taught me how to ride a bike.

He also taught me patience

when riding a bike failed,

miserably. (laughing) (Ethan laughing)

He had this big laugh,

and he could light up any room he walked into

without even saying a single word.

He was brave.

Bravest man I ever met.

And yet he taught me that I didn't have to be brave,

not all the time.

(Ethan laughing)

- He sounds perfect.

- Yeah, he was perfect,

in every single way.

He was good.

He was kind.

He just wanted to make this world a better place.

He just wanted to help people.

- Did he teach you to swim like this?

- No.

But he taught me to be stubborn.

He used to say to me,

"Even if it gets hard,

even when it pulls you down,

if you're stubborn, you'll beat it,

you'll make it."

- And what happened to him?

(pensive music)

- He was taken from me.

- Was he sick?

- No,

no, he wasn't sick.

He, he was taken because someone woke up one morning

and decided that they could play God.

- (sighing) I'm so sorry.

My, uh,

I lost my dad recently.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

Could be worse. (sighing)

Could be Victor.

(both laughing)

- Yeah, you're not wrong.

Seriously though,

Isla deserves better.

She deserves someone like my dad,

someone to protect her,

to make her feel safe.

- You look like you still miss him.

- I do,

every single day.

I miss the small things

like how he used to whistle

when he was cooking dinner, (laughing)

and how we'd all get so annoyed at him

because he, (crying) he would eat so loudly.

But mainly I just miss the way

that he made me feel safe.

Sorry.

- It's okay.

It's hard.

I miss mine too.

But it's, it's,

it's important to remember them, right?

- Yeah.

- Even if it makes you sad.

- Right.

Like speaking about it is,

is hard,

but remembering him,

that makes me strong.

And he deserves to be remembered.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Isla really looks up to you, you know?

It's really good for her to have

a strong role model.

- Yeah, she deserves it.

- And you're braver than you look.

- I try to be, yeah.

I mean, sometimes bravery

is just a stubborn decision to never give up

no matter how hard it gets.

I learnt that from my dad.

- What else did he teach you?

- He taught me so much.

Mainly strength.

If I could take one thing from him,

it would be his outlook on life.

But unfortunately that's not the path I was given.

- And what is your path now?

- You ask a lot of questions. (Ethan laughing)

Oh my God.

- Sorry. (Clara sighing)

You don't have to make bad choices

'cause of bad things.

You know that, right?

- Sometimes even we don't get a choice.

Bad things happen to us

and we just have to do the right thing.

All I've ever wanted is to,

is to make this world a safer place for people like Isla,

people who deserve to feel safe in their own homes.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

Thank you for listening.

(crickets chirping)

- No, I don't care if he thinks it can come under cost.

No, he's not taking that project from me.

I don't lose to scavengers, ever.

Look, you take care of the paperwork

and keep the board quiet,

and I'll look after him, personally.

(suspenseful music)

- You're looking for this?

(dramatic music)

- You, what the hell are you doing?

- I'm making sure that you don't kill another family.

- You're not just a little poor girl, are you?

- My name is Clara Hale,

and I watched as you slaughtered my family.

- The Hales.

- (crying) Thought you killed them all, didn't you?

But you left one behind.

And now I've come back for you,

and I've killed your family one by one,

and now it's your turn.

- You think killing my family will get us even?

You think it'll fill that hole in your heart?

- No, nothing can fill this hole.

(gun blasting) (Clara grunting)

(both grunting)

(Clara panting)

(Clara roaring) (candle holder smashing)

(Clara grunting) (dramatic music)

(Victor roaring)

(both grunting)

(punches smacking)

(Victor roaring)

(Clara choking)

(Victor screaming)

- Daddy.

- Touch me again and she dies.

- Go.

- You've made quite the mess, haven't you, Clara?

But it ends here.

- No, it ended the night you killed my family.

- Oh, you're just like your father. (laughing)

- Good.

I wanna be.

- But men like me, we don't lose,

we build empires.

- Your empire is about to come crumbling down, Victor.

(Ethan roaring) (Victor grunting)

(Ethan and Victor grunting)

(water splashing)

- Go help Ethan.

(Ethan and Victor grunting)

(blade zinging) (Victor grunting)

- One, two, three.

Good girl.

- Is he dead?

- Yeah, I'm so sorry, Isla.

(Ethan grunting)

- How did you find us here?

- My bedroom looks over the pool house.

From the window,

I can see everything.

(light music)

- So you've been watching us

the whole time?

- I could've said something.

I could've done something.

I could've told someone,

but I stepped back

and I did nothing.

- Why?

- Why do you think?

- [Clara] Because, um, because he deserved it.

- I wanted you to have your closure.

I just wanted it all to stop.

- You didn't need to do that.

Not for me.

- Clara,

I'm here for you.

You don't have to be alone anymore.

I don't wanna be alone anymore.

- Don't,

don't say that unless you mean it.

- You're right,

Isla deserves better.

But you deserve to be happy too.

- And we have all been through hell.

I think it's time we start living.

(Ethan coughing)

- Let's get outta here.

Right now.

We can pin this on one of Victor's many, many enemies.

No one will have to know.

- Okay.

- Okay. - Okay, let's do it.

- Am I coming with you?

- Of course.

- Where are we going?

- The beach. (laughing) - The beach.
