My daughter.

What are you drawing?

The pretty flower I saw in your notebook, Papa.

That's the corpse flower, Wei. Remember?

So, it makes itself smelly

to attract flies?

Flesh flies.

And they love it?

Yes, they do.

Can I go feed the snake?

Well, fine. Come on.

Okay, Wei.

Dad is going back to work.

You go finish your maths.

Dad, are you going to fix your face?

Not just my face, Wei.

I will fix yours too.

Wei.

Dad!

Dad!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa.

Ling, but she's your niece.

She won't be any trouble, I promise.

I would have loved to keep her here with me,

but what can I do with her here? You've seen her.

You know what they call her?

A monster.

Hi, Wei!

Here! Here!

Here is my ugly little car.

I used to drive a Lexus.

Come on. Your suitcase.

Do you remember the last time I saw you?

You were smaller than this suitcase.

Do you remember?

Uh-huh...

That was also the last time I saw your father.

If he knew that you've got the scholarship,

he would be so proud of you.

You have to become a scientist like he did.

Come, let me have a look.

What a pretty scarf.

You know what?

I sell excellent concealer products

which can cover it right up!

Well, you're tired. Let's go home.

I warn you, the house is a mess.

Angela's useless father left us in the middle of renovations.

And now I can't afford to finish them.

Asshole!

It's so great to have you here.

You'll be good company for Angela.

She's not talking to me at the moment.

She goes out all the time, doesn't want any part-time jobs.

You will set a great example for her.

And we're home.

You see what the bastard left me to deal with?

I keep telling your cousin this.

You have to work very hard and have your career.

In this way, you don't need to rely on anyone in the future.

This is my house.

For now, don't mind the mess.

When Angela's dad ditched us,

we were in the middle of the renovations.

Well, that's a story for another day.

That's our neighbor, Sheryl.

She's cheaper than a real gardener.

Hi, Sheryl!

I'm expanding my

beauty products business.

Our future is in these boxes.

Come in!

Bloody annoying dog.

Stop barking!

Angela,

come down to meet your cousin.

Bikkie!

Bikkie!

Bikkie, no.

Bikkie.

Oh, silly baby.

Hi.

Sorry, Bikkie doesn't like strangers.

Ugh! Look at that ugly hole.

A few more sales and I'll have my beautiful French doors.

Can you speak in a language

that I can actually understand?

It wouldn't hurt you to learn a bit Chinese from your cousin.

It's okay.

I can speak English.

See how good she speaks English?

You sound like a Kiwi already.

And you-- Angela doesn't even know basic Chinese.

Huh?

Come, I'll show you your room.

Huh?

Hey, Wei.

Mom's just heating up dinner, so come down when you're ready.

And, uh, I'll sort the keys out for you tomorrow after class.

My father--

Hey.

Hey, Daddy.

Thanks for calling me back.

When can I come see you?

I just want to see you.

You know, just, things are not great here right now.

I just-- can I come stay with you for a little bit, please?

I miss you.

I just want to-- no, I won't be any trouble.

I swear.

I just really miss you, Dad.

Please.

No, can you just listen to me for once?

I just don't want to be here, okay?

I want to be with you.

I want--

Papa, please watch over me

on my first day of university.

I'll get some char siu soon, but in the meantime,

please try some yummy New Zealand food.

You look lost.

Do you know the way to the Science Building?

My name's Wei.

My name is John.

This is what they quoted,

"We have discovered the secret of life."

And you will find that in Chapter 23 of your textbooks.

Oh, and just before you go,

Angela Murray, these are the quick tests from this morning.

Don't worry.

They won't go on your academic record.

Just an indication of where you need to improve.

Jasmine Leilani.

That's me.

Thank you.

Eve Meadows.

92%.

Well done, Eve.

Oh, there is one of you, our scholarship student, Lim--

Wei?

It's Wei.

100%.

Well done.

Right, times are going.

So the rest of you can grab your scores on the way out.

Oh, I meant to say, I'm looking for minions.

So if you're looking for some lab experience

to go on your CV, the sign-up sheet

is on a clipboard in my lab.

Okay?

Right, that's it.

See y'all tomorrow.

Sorry.

I was-- I was just--

What have you got there?

Nothing.

It's mine.

Well, that's my experiment you're contaminating.

Show me.

It belongs to my father.

Your father's a scientist?

Was.

So this is your research now?

Mm-hm.

I tell you what.

You can be my lab assistant.

And if you're lucky, I might let you work on this.

Oh, I needed this.

I have not had a good fuck since Wei showed up.

Wait, what is this?

Just some weird Chinese ancestor worship stuff.

Mom set it up for Wei so that she could feel more at home.

Yeah, but what's that?

Wei's dad.

Oh, my God.

Mm-hm.

Wei has one, too.

That explains the scarf.

Right?

If you think that's weird, you should see her room.

Oh.

Um--

Whoa.

Okay, that's enough.

I think we should go.

Come on, Angie.

When are we gonna get another chance to visit the museum

of the brilliant prodigy?

We should go now.

Yeah, let's go.

Yeah.

I'm going.

Hi.

No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You just gave us such a fright.

Girl, I'm sorry.

Hey, Wei.

Eve, Jess, this is my cousin, Wei.

We're just having a girls' night.

Oh.

Are those prawns?

Yes, that's all good.

I'm just very allergic to shellfish.

Yeah.

Just, um, tell us how it ends, Wei.

Eyes to the front, people.

Hey!

Let's focus, shall we?

If you've got textbooks, open them to page 237.

How about this weather?

How about this weather?

How about this weather?

Surely.

Oh, my God, speaking of.

- Hi. - Hey.

Hi.

I wanted to invite you all to Yumcha for some char siu.

Oh, what's that?

Oh, I can take you another time.

Char siu?

It was my baba's favorite food.

I wanna get some for his altar.

Yes.

- No, we are very sorry-- - Sorry.

about your father, Wei.

Yum cha, Sophie?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Angie, come on.

Cheers!

Eat.

Please eat.

I'll try it.

I'll help you.

Thanks, sis.

Um, can I get a fork?

Chicken feet.

No, thanks.

But your mom said they're your favorite.

I'm so sorry, Wei, um, but I have to go.

I have to go, too.

I should probably go with them.

Hey.

People always ask if I burnt myself.

My mom said our ancestors did something bad.

That's why I'm so ugly.

It's the rest of the world that's ugly, Wei.

I can make us beautiful.

You already are beautiful.

Wei.

Jump in.

I'll drop you home.

Me?

So I was thinking about you using the lab.

I could oversee your work.

If you and I put our brains together,

we could do something really transformational.

Oh, and Wei, we'll start tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Papa, I'm going to

make you so proud!

I feel like we're not

connecting, but that's--

my goal.

Well, you know what?

It's okay.

I know a goal that you can score.

Ange, no-- no.

Ange, stop.

Josh, don't you wanna take this off?

Oh, shit.

I think Wei's home.

Who cares about her?

You have to go.

Wei, you home?

Oi, Wei!

We need to set some house rules, okay?

I don't wanna see you.

I don't wanna hear you.

And I definitely don't wanna come home to the smell

of incense and rotting food.

It's disgusting.

But Auntie Ling said--

And enough with the Auntie Ling this

and the Auntie Ling that!

She's not even here.

She's never here.

So where did your father leave off?

There's a missing component, something organic, I believe.

A-- a binding agent to merge the skin tissue.

Yes, exactly.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Wei, think of the potential here--

burns victims, deformities.

We could make people beautiful.

Wow.

Just--

If we can just get this right.

98?

Uh-huh.

Papa please. I need your help.

I miss you.

Do you know how bad

you are making me look?

Um, hi.

Uh, I was just wondering if you're

still taking lab sign-ups.

Uh, yes.

I'm always looking for new lab assistants.

Um, please, sign on the dotted line.

Great.

Great.

Okay.

Good night, ladies.

Um, you heading home now or--

I know how it is, Wei.

It's really hard to fit in.

Wei, I'm sorry.

I wasn't trying to take your job.

He says you're doing great.

Huh.

Angela keeps saying--

Yes, but Angie was born here.

It's different.

You know you can take that off, right?

It's just us.

But--

Wei, it's fine.

Come on.

Come on.

It's terrible.

No, I'll tell you what's terrible...

the scarf.

We can look out for one another, okay?

You got this.

I don't know what type of music you listen to, but--

My daughter.

What are you drawing?

The pretty flower I saw in your notebook, Papa.

Papa, I remember the corpse flower now.

I will mend myself, and you'll be so proud of me.

What was that?

Shh, it's nothing.

What's she doing?

I didn't think she'd come today.

I'll go and talk to her.

You go out the other door.

See?

It's working, Dr. Featherstone.

- The formula works. - How?

Hi, Paul.

There you are, Wei.

Did I interrupt something?

Yes.

I mean, no.

No.

Was that a yes or no?

Come on.

Girls only night?

That was not nice.

So punish me.

I'm still wet.

Come on, Wei.

So how's Wonder Boy?

What an honor.

Lee, my man.

Can you do me a solid?

I've got something here that needs some translating.

I was hoping you could help out.

- Absolutely, man. - Cool.

I'll send you through a pic now.

Thanks, man.

See you, Angie. See you later.

Yeah.

See you next week.

So still on for tonight?

Mom's coming home tonight.

Wei?

Mom, come home, please.

Wei is ruining my life.

- Grow up, Angela! - Fine!

I'm calling Dad.

That's enough, ungrateful child!

You don't understand.

There's something off about her.

Maybe I should send you to China.

Ugh!

Ugh!

I'm not a fucking child!

She's the child!

Come.

I'm gonna take you somewhere special.

You know, it's not a good look, a student dating a lecturer.

No--

No, I didn't.

Look at you.

You look ridiculous.

No.

I was trying to show Paul--

Why don't you show me?

You want to see?

Oh, I'm kidding.

Whatever.

I don't want to see your granny panties.

I just think you need to know this

isn't how we do things here.

We don't fuck our teachers for grades.

I didn't.

Actually, I've gotta run now.

But you'll be all right getting home, right?

Hi, Angela.

What did you do?

You're disrespecting the ancestors.

They'll curse us.

Why don't you take your weird Chinese shit

and go home?

Fuck you!

Stop!

Get off of me, Angela.

No.

Ah, Angela, stop.

Angela.

Wake up, Angela!

Wake up, please, Angela.

Angela.

Papa, what should I do?

Please help me, Papa. What should I do?

Don't worry, Angela.

I can fix this.

I will bring you back.

Angela.

Angela...

I know you're upset at me.

We'll have a talk soon, okay?

I'm almost home.

I did it.

I did it, Papa.

Look at me.

Angela.

Oh, what's going on?

I've been calling you.

Why didn't you answer me?

I'm so sorry.

Oh.

I'm the one who's sorry.

I shouldn't have shouted at you.

I know things have been hard lately.

Oh, dear.

Are you okay?

Want me to make hot chocolate for you?

Don't worry.

Everything's going to be okay.

We'll be fine.

It'll be all right.

Okay?

We'll be okay.

Right?

It'll be all right.

Is that the formula for benzene.

- What the fuck? - Oh.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

Am I distracting you from something?

I'm trying to work!

What am I doing here, then?

What do you think?

Maybe the answer's up Wei's skirt.

A word of advice, Eve.

You're not gonna get very far without playing

to your strengths, and I can tell you it is not your brain.

So just...

I don't know-- sit there like a good little girl,

and let me do my fucking work.

- Hey, what's up, sexy? - Hey.

No, no, no, no.

Angela, I'm going now.

Can you tell your cousin?

You'll be all right, won't you?

I'll be back, uh, next week.

Okay?

Okay, Aunt--

Mum.

Angela,

I'm sorry I'm not always here with you.

You know I'm always proud of you, right?

Hey. Wait, wait.

Just give us a moment.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

'Sup, Angela?

Hey.

Hey.

Dinner tonight?

Um--

Yeah?

Yeah.

You all right, babe?

Hmm?

- So I'll see you tonight? - Mm-hmm.

All right, cool.

Hey, Angie. Good luck for your game today.

- Yeah? - Thanks!

Wait, what game?

Yeah.

Keep breathing.

Try to avoid using it for a couple of weeks, yeah?

You should probably see the doctor about that, too.

Hmm?

Keep breathing.

You took the photo, right, Angie?

Angie?

- Um, yeah. - What photo?

Show me. Show me.

I sent it on Snapchat, but it was really gross.

Oh, it's just something from choir.

One sec.

Hi.

I fully forgot that Jaz doesn't know.

About me and Paul?

Hello?

Angie?

Where's your head at these days?

It's okay. I still love you.

I love you, too, Eve.

Wow.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

These are for you.

Let's go somewhere special.

Okay.

Listen, are you--

- are you okay? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

You don't know how beautiful you are, Angie.

I love you, babe.

You're beautiful.

Ah!

Wait.

I am not gonna hurt you.

Wait. No, wait.

Don't leave.

I'm sorry.

Where's my notebook?

Where the fuck is my notebook?!

You've reached

Dr. Featherstone. Please leave a message.

Dr. Featherstone, it's Wei.

Do you have my notebook?

Please call me back.

You think someone died in here, right?

Well, you can say that again.

She certainly attracted a lot of attention

while she was flowering.

Lee, my man.

What do you have for me?

Look, I just finished translating your notebook.

What's going on, man?

Look, I know your job's on the line.

But this is too much.

It's some crazy Chinese torture porn shit, man.

What the fuck is going on?

I'm busy, Wei.

What do you want?

Where is my notebook?

It disappeared.

I had to continue the work.

You mean my father's work!

Wei, let's be very clear.

As lead scientist, it's my work.

Eve, can you give me a lift home?

Angie?

Yeah.

Paul's fobbed me off again.

What are you doing here?

Hey.

Let's go shopping tomorrow.

Yeah, and doesn't your mum sell moisturizer?

Your skin, it's just very dry.

I don't know what that is.

You are so beautiful.

Let's see if he ignores me in this dress.

You should buy that dress.

You deserve it.

You're right.

I do.

What's that smell?

Wei's weird things.

Gross.

Mm.

You know, maybe I'll just go home.

No.

I have something to show you,

something really special.

Angie.

Wei, Wei.

Oh!

No.

Hmm?

Shut the fuck up, Bikkie!

You see,

we're not that different, Eve.

Angela?

That dog has been barking for hours today.

I'm so sorry.

If you don't get that dog under control, I'm warning you,

I will call the police.

Mm.

Good night.

♪ But you want to do it in the dark ♪

♪ You can't see me, but I'm watching you ♪

♪ I saw you smiling the other day ♪

♪ And I'm watching you ♪

♪ I'm watching-- ♪

I will find your notebook,

Father.

I promise you, I will make him pay.

Are you proud of me, Father?

Look how beautiful I am now.

Anyone home?

Police.

Open up.

Over here.

Looks like-- I think someone's home.

Hi, we're looking for Angela Murray?

She's not here right now.

But we're investigating the disappearance of a student.

Do you mind if we take a look around?

I'll just go up and get dressed.

Miss?

Any chance you know when we could talk to your, uh--

I'm not sure.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

This is a card with our number.

If you think of anything else at all, then, please,

give us a call.

Eve, Eve.

Where's Angela?

She's not answering any of my calls.

Fuck. This is so fucked up.

She's probably still sick.

Yeah, you sound like you caught it, too.

Okay, what did she say happened?

...talk about Angela Murray.

Has she been attending her classes?

Okay.

It definitely has something to do with Josh, right?

Eve, we have to go see her.

She's probably freaking out.

Eve, I think they're looking for her.

Where is she, and what about Wei?

What about Wei? Why are you asking me this?

Oh, my God, Jasmine. Can't you see that I'm sick?

What?

Why do you always have to be in everyone else's

business anyway?

And because Watson and Crick used Franklin's X-ray

crystallography data to write their paper,

a lot of people think she should be the one

credited with the discovery.

What do we think of that, ladies?

Um, yeah, so, um, of course, once they made the discovery--

Hey.

So what was all that about in the lecture hall, hmm?

You don't like me coming to your lectures?

Oh, don't play games with me.

You obviously came here for a reason.

Oh, you don't waste any time, do you?

I just want to know what you've been

spending all your time on.

Oh, I like this voice.

Please.

Right now, I wanna spend my time on this.

Mm.

Okay.

Dude.

Bikkie, come on.

Bik, Bik, Bik.

Where are you, girl?

Bikkie.

Are you there?

Bikkie.

Bikkie.

Bikkie.

Oh, these gates.

Jesus Christ.

I'm Eve, Angie's friend, and I heard you yelling,

and I'm afraid she's not in at the moment.

Well, that's typical, isn't it?

Now, I already warned that girl,

somebody has to take care of the dog.

She's a real spoiled bitch, isn't she?

Right.

You be sure to tell her.

Okay?

Good night.

But that's not what happened, okay?

She came to my office.

She initiated it.

Can we please take this somewhere else?

Let's go to my office, please.

No, I know where I'm going, thank you very much.

Get your fucking hands off me.

Fuck you, James!

I quit.

Really?

That's good.

You don't need them.

I'm not in the mood, Eve.

Can you come back later?

You're-- you're just too distracting.

Shut the fuck up, Bikkie!

Bikkie. Bikkie.

Shut the fuck up, Bikkie.

Eve, I did it.

Come over.

I wanna celebrate.

You can call me Dr. Nobel Prize.

I thought we were celebrating.

Oh, we are.

Oh, we are.

Oh.

Hey, who's laughing now, huh?

Fuck you.

I can't wait to watch you throw a party for me.

Two weeks, they said.

Fucking two weeks.

Fucking bitches.

Twenty years ago today, well, not anymore.

And the boy is back, baby.

He's fucking back!

Oh, yeah.

Who's laughing now, huh?

Yeah.

Oh.

I have a headache.

Well, go home then.

You're acting so off today, anyway.

Oh.

Oof.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going?

No kiss?

Mm.

Oh, she took it.

Wei, Wei, Wei.

You fucking bitch.

Papa, I need your help.

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Angie, where are you at?

Where are you guys?

Wei, is that Eve's dress?

I just--

What?

What's this?

wanted to know what it feels like--

Oh, what happened?

Oh.

Everyone's gone.

You should have come to me first.

I'm here for you.

But I think we can fix you up.

Um, why don't you actually come and stay with me tonight?

I don't know.

I just don't really like the idea of being by yourself

in this big-ass house.

Really?

Yeah.

We can have a nice family dinner.

I mean, you treated me to Chinese style,

so I can show you Tongan style.

That-- that'd be nice.

Okay, great.

Because I think my mom is making,

like, a nice-ass dinner because, basically,

I think my mom--

Oh, no!

No!

No!

No!

I'm so sorry!

Sorry. Sorry.

What have you done, Wei?

What I had to do.

What you made me do.

Where is she?

Where is Eve, Wei?

She's around.

You did it.

I can't believe you figured it out.

Hmm.

Your whole life working on it.

Barely took me an afternoon.

That was my father's work!

Ah-ah-ah.

I'm gonna make a historic discovery.

And you can scuttle off back to where you came from.

Now, where's my vial, you fucking cunt?

You want your vial?

It's in the fridge.

Ah.

♪ I'm watching you ♪

♪ I saw you smiling the other day ♪

♪ I'm watching you ♪

♪ I saw you holding hands that way ♪

♪ I am missing you ♪

♪ I'm watching you ♪

You're up.

Just in time.

♪ I saw you holding hands that way ♪

I don't know why you're so upset.

I know you wanted my father's science, so...

I've decided to give it to you.

It's working so well, don't you think?

Haha.

I'm gonna live a new life, a beautiful life.>

And everyone is going to love me.

Bikkie!

Oh, God.

Oh!

God!

Help!

Ah!

Help!

Radio 1-3, go ahead.

We just got a call from a woman in your area,

something about--

you're not gonna believe this.

Ah!

John.

John, John, it's me.

It's me. Help me.

Okay, get in.

Down here.

This one.

Did you see a girl run through here?

Blonde woman.

Yeah, she ran that way.

Wei, what have you done?

The family of missing scholarship student Lin Wei

has appealed to the public for any information

concerning her disappearance.

Wei is believed to be connected with

the grisly discovery of three bodies

in an upmarket West Auckland property.

A fourth victim remains in a critical condition

in Auckland hospital.

Police are treating the matter as a homicide.

Wei.

Wei!

Wei!

Hey. Hey.

You're a good dog.

Good dog.

Good dog.

Good dog. That's it.

Mm.

You're my dog now.
