She keeps asking for mummy.

What do I tell her? What can I possibly say?

How long have you known the deceased?

i had a premonition

Well, I'm alive.

I nearly wasn't.

Another snake. This time it was waiting for me with its beady eyes and its

fangs. Breakfast is peak feeding time, yeah, so... I hate you.

I told you, they're not venomous.

Well, not all of them.

Welcome to Australia.

This country's full of things that can kill you.

And it's the last thing I need today. It's a...

Terrible omen. Yeah.

How about a bit of this? No, I can't. Jake!

No, I can't.

Okay.

She is a woman of a certain age. She's confident. She's hip.

She's not afraid of a stripe.

Unless it's on a reptile.

She is the more serious type. She's smart, stylish, and yes, she's reserved,

but the hint of glam says she's anything but boring. Well, she could never be

boring. Uh, did you hear that?

What? Yeah, monsters are stirring.

Jay! No, no, no.

Hey, Gracie.

Good morning.

It tickles. Yeah, but what does Craig the Crocodile say?

It's wake-up time. It's wake-up time, exactly.

Time to get up.

Is it today?

What today is she coming today?

You like her don't you very much Hey, buddy

Did

all of a need changing oh yeah in a

big one like a huger than that snake you Okay, yes confident

You're going to smash it.

Anna. Look, is it too soon? We've been through this. I know.

I know, and I don't mean to keep bringing it up. This will be good for

you, right? For us.

I hope so.

Hey, hey.

You remember what Dr Clarke said?

I am not my past. New country, new life.

Is that Becky?

You know, I think she's got a fan already.

Okay, better make myself presentable.

Thank you. You found us again. Yeah, no problem.

Actually this early in the day. It's quite an easy run.

Becky!

Hi!

I love your PJs. You remember Grace? How could I forget?

Are we going to play hide and seek?

Yes, we are.

If you're good and you help me take care of your brother. Hey, maybe later. Becky

might want to put our stuff in her room first. It's fine. I can do that later.

Yeah, I feel bad I couldn't start earlier.

No, we are just so grateful to have you.

Well, what needs doing?

Well, my husband was just about to start Oliver's breakfast.

Easy.

But it's one of his quirks. He loves to start things, you know, finishing them.

Are we talking about Oliver or Mr Former? First names, please.

And it remains to be seen whether it's genetic.

Well, I got this, so go.

Can I plug this in?

I've got to trim the golden ash around the side.

Can't you use the one in the garage? No, it's broken.

OK, just plug it in here.

Cool. I'm so sorry.

Give that to me.

Oh, this is Liam. Liam is our gardener. Part-time.

And he also helped us unpack the house. This is Becky.

Becky is our wonderful new nanny.

Oh, I see.

It's no use.

I'm really sorry.

Never mind.

Go glam or go home.

I saw you come for the interview.

I was gonna say hello.

Oh, why didn't you?

I wasn't sure if you'd take the job. Well, they're a great family.

I'll walk you in today and say g'day to Phil, so...

Did many other girls apply?

Maybe the only one I saw.

There they go again.

I'll leave you to it.

Good boy.

Grace? Grace?

Hey.

Don't play with that. Come on.

Come over here.

Do you want to draw me a pretty picture?

I'll be back in one sec, okay?

Why does she message you so often? Because she's worried about me. She's

worried about you.

Hey, I think this is faulty.

This is London all over again.

Becky!

You could.

Okay, what aren't you telling me?

Liam.

Something's not right in this house.

How are you?

Get out while you can.

Everyone okay?

Yeah. Yeah? Okay, good.

Hey, sweetie.

Wow, that was... Yeah,

that was my fault. I was so stupid, I was doing my stretches and my hand went

straight through the... Jake.

Yeah.

Right, I'll, um... I'll call the clazier. Hello, again. Hi.

Quite the welcome we were hoping for.

It's all good.

Um... OK, so let's go through the kids' routines.

Nap times again.

Grace is easy.

I've put your name on the list at nursery.

She means kindy.

Yeah, kindy.

Drop-off is at 9.30, Monday to Friday, pick-up at 3. Oh, sugar, your keys.

What? The kids' seats, I almost forgot.

Leaving ten, yeah?

Nap times it's actually fine.

I wrote all this down after the interview as long as I stay away from

blenders Everything's under control

It doesn't matter that she saw.

Anna, you need to cut yourself some slack. I'm trying.

It doesn't help that I feel like half a person. Anna. It's true.

You got me this job. You found the house. You're picking up your old life.

I can't even get from A to B. You'll drive again when you're ready. This is

our life.

We came here to make a new start.

Remember, put all that bad stuff behind us for you to be a whole person.

Mia Nutcracker.

Sophie AFL.

Other way around.

There he is.

Hello.

Thanks again for doing this, mate. Oh, absolutely, my pleasure. Oh, yeah, thank

you, Phil.

OK. I know I've been out of the loop for a while, and maybe you do things

differently here, but... I keep telling her we're not some colonial backwater.

I didn't mean it like that. No, look, you'll get the hang of it in no time.

Now, look... Our IT guy hasn't finished setting up your computer yet. Oh, that's

fine. Is there something I can read? Design briefs, proposals?

Coming out of our ears.

I'll go get some. Take a seat.

Oh, is that Sophie?

Grace wants to do ballet too.

Oh, we'll have to hook you up with a local dance school.

No, she could go the other way, like Mia.

You never know.

I'll get you the proposals.

See, it's going to be great.

I'm going to be great.

And who's this then, huh?

That's Craig.

Is he from kindy?

Yeah.

Oh, what's this?

Oh, I know this.

We had this in kindy too.

Except mine was Wally the Wombat.

And you get to keep him for a week and take him on an adventure.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

The mummies and the daddies get a bit competitive with this, huh?

All right, come on.

We're gonna get your socks on.

I can do it by myself.

Of course you can.

Hey, I'll just be one sec, all right?

What are you doing?

Looking for hiding places.

I thought we might play after candy.

Yay! Come on, let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, is that Leanne?

Yeah!

The company's done some lovely work.

Yeah, well, if you can call taco shells lovely.

Oh.

You know, when he moved to London, we thought we'd lost him for good.

He's still a handsome devil.

He certainly is.

Hey, I'll leave you to it.

Oh, and if you need anything, you know, just come find me.

Thank you.

Oh, hi.

It's me. It's the working girl.

I was just calling to fill you in on my exciting new life.

Oh,

hi. Is Jake there, please?

Oh, he stepped out. Sorry.

Oh, can I speak to his assistant?

Oh, no.

No, that's fine.

Thank you.

Hey.

You're still here.

I can't just quit.

Is there anything else you want to give me the heads up on?

They've been at it since the day they moved in.

What do they fight about?

All I know is it's fine one moment, the next, boom.

It could just be the stress of moving countries.

So you take it out of the windows.

She's always on edge.

Anna is.

Highly strung or something.

It's like he's on eggshells around her.

I really don't mean to freak you out.

Oh, no.

Luckily, I don't freak out easy.

And she did forgive you for ruining her dress.

Oh, my God, I know.

Oh, I thought she was going to fire me on the spot.

So maybe you don't need me sticking my nose in. Look, I'm really glad that you

did, but I really need this job.

So I've got to tough it out.

Oh, and by the way...

You're the reason her dress got ruined.

See ya.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I heard you're settling him.

My adorable grandson.

I was.

I was.

Hi, I'm... I'm Becky.

Hi. Cynthia.

Jake's mother.

I, uh, mm, hope you don't mind me tidying up. Oh, no, not at all. I was

just about to do it myself, actually.

I always say if you pick up every day, it never gets to this.

Oh.

Ooh. Um, I... I'll take that. Sorry about that.

So, uh, you from Melbourne, originally?

Warrnambool, originally.

I'm a country girl.

Been with many families?

Not that many.

Well, of course, you must be just 23.

Sometimes it must feel like it's not just the children you're looking after.

I'm not really sure what you mean. It's quite soon for Anna to be going back to

work.

Jake says it'll be good for her, but I worry.

Oh, let's just say...

If any difficulties arise, if Anna gives you any cause for concern,

call me.

Day or night.

Thanks.

How was your first day?

Yeah, it was good.

It was good.

No, they're lovely kids.

They are.

How was yours?

Ah!

Not as bad as I'd feared.

Or as challenging as I'd hoped.

Have you eaten?

Yeah, with the kids.

Well, if it's OK, I might go in my room, unpack, maybe curl up with a book or

something. Of course.

Cool.

Oh, Becky.

Thank you.

Oh, it's fine.

Oh, no, I, um... I had help tidying up today.

Yeah, Jake's mum was here Well actually came out of the kids room and she was

like in the house. Really?

I think she just wanted to give the new nanny the once-over though.

What exactly did she say?

She gave our nuns her phone number. God knows what else she did. She's been

protective of them. And I'm not. Okay, I never think about it. Well, that's

because you both know why.

This is your mother of the year. And I, I'm the officer.

Please, Mom, no.

Please.

Sorry.

No, it's all right.

I'll go back inside.

No, please, please stay.

Unless you want to go and get yourself a glass.

Thanks, but I don't really drink.

Keeps me awake.

It's two o'clock in the morning. I'd say something's doing that already.

Sit down.

You must be wondering what you've walked into.

It's none of my business.

The whole bottles flying through the window.

Screaming matches me sitting here crying in the dark.

Honestly, you don't have to explain. It's fine.

It starts with the little things, you know, the telltale signs.

Could be nothing, could be something.

Unanswered phone calls.

Meetings that aren't in the diary, mysterious bits of jewellery.

You know, when all those little things add up.

And you've seen it before.

Can you really just... ..not say anything?

Jake cheated on me in London.

It nearly destroyed us.

And now I think he's doing it again.

Excuse me.

I never know how you eat that stuff.

Reminds me of my childhood.

Here you go, Gracie.

Yum.

Oh, how many more days do we have Craig the Crocodile?

Three.

Three?

Three? Did you hear that?

Well, we'd better get on to those pictures, huh?

We'll beat all the other mums and dads.

Hey, about last night.

Yeah, I was upset. I overshared, drunk too much. Honestly, I'm just glad you

feel like you can trust me. It's fine.

And for the record, Jake denies ever cheating.

Sometimes, sometimes I believe him.

I think.

Is there anything I can do to help?

You are already helping just by being here.

And, you know, going back to work, I guess that's playing into it. Yeah.

Well, I'd lie you for it.

I spend half of my day wracked with guilt.

But we are trying to do things differently this time.

Yeah. Anyway, look, just forget about it. Forget that I said anything.

You know, I was hearing that Cynthia had been here.

Well, aside from missing this, she was my one big reservation about moving to

Australia.

Nothing like a mother-in-law who thinks that you're crazy and a danger to your

own kids.

A danger?

Like I said, just, um...

Sorry, I'm running so late. I need to ban clients from calling me this early.

Good?

Oh hi, is Jake there please?

I can't park here for long.

That's okay.

Just a few more minutes.

Can you do something for me?

There is no car with that number plate in the street or in the car park.

Would you like me to take you back?

Thank you.

Can I get your number so that I can book you again?

Is that a thing here?

Well,

I've got a card.

I've got a thousand of them, actually.

Thank you, Ray.

It's a pleasant 26th anniversary, isn't it?

He's my husband.

An attractive young lady?

His assistant.

Been here 30 minutes.

I'm sorry.

Just a little bit longer.

One sec.

Hey, how's it going?

Good!

Busy. How's your afternoon looking?

Oh, it's crazy, back to back.

I'll be out of contact for most of the day.

What's up?

Um, I wanted to buy Phil a bottle of wine just to say thank you.

I'm sure he's not expecting anything.

Does he prefer red or white?

He is a red man.

Pick you up at the same time?

I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Uh... Oh, wow.

How rude.

No problem.

I'm right, aren't I?

I'm not losing my mind.

You take Craig, and his baby, and I'll be back in a sec, okay?

Hi. Hi.

Is everything all right?

No.

Where's Jake?

Oh, he's gone to play squash.

At least that's where he says he's gone.

He's always messaging someone.

Who? If I ask, he'll say it's his mother, but then who messages a mother

at two o'clock in the morning?

I've seen the name come up.

Mummy. It's the same in England.

I suppose he thought he was the perfect guy.

Yeah. New country, new woman.

They're never at the office when I call.

God, it's such a cliche.

I mean, his secretary.

They have lunch together, Becky, practically every day.

Head off in his car to some obscenely expensive restaurant.

Or who am I kidding?

Some sleazy hotel.

I've been getting a...

A car to drive past the office, and I've seen it with my own eyes.

God, I hate how it makes me feel.

And I hate to think what might happen this day.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said I wouldn't put you in this position, and here I am.

I'm doing it again.

No, it's fine. It's OK. No. No, it's really not.

You go.

I want to see the kids.

Look I might be completely out of line here But if you're positive that it's

his secretary and he denies it

Caroline

do you remember me?

Of course, Anna.

That's right, Jake's wife. That's right, we met at drinks.

Why are you here?

Is that a problem for you?

No, I just thought you'd be your own wife.

Oh, I bet you did.

And like I said, I'm Jake's wife, and as his wife, I would like to know where it

is that you two go each lunchtime.

I'm sorry?

Oh, I think you heard me.

It's a simple question.

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

i'm talking about i'm surprised that you're not missing this what every

lunchtime pathetically and predictably for an hour and a half you are my

husband that's not true i've seen you oh the private smiles and the way he opens

the car door for you no no no no he's dropping me at my pilates class pilates

yes He drops me at my Pilates class and then I walk back. Ask the instructor if

you don't believe me.

It's on his way.

On his way where?

I'm not interested in your husband.

And that's not my bracelet.

Anna!

Anna!

What the fuck?

Are you going to explain?

Or are you just not going to talk to me?

Who does it belong to, Jake? And why was it in your car? I don't know.

Well, it's not paralyzed.

Well, it's one of the paralegals, maybe. You do realize I drive people around all

the time. Where is it? You still haven't told me where it is you go at lunchtime.

Where do I go when you're stalking my office?

This past week.

Tuesday, Wednesday, yesterday.

I've been taking these.

I just had them printed as a present for Grace so she could outdo the other kids.

Thought we could put them in the album together.

You took these.

I am so sorry. You should be.

I am genuinely deeply so, so sorry. I thought... Yeah, I know exactly what you

thought. Well, it's just when I feel like you're being secretive. It's all in

your head.

Anna, just like it was in London. Well, I haven't been taking my medication.

And when I stop, then I can't think straight. Why aren't you taking them?

Because I don't want to be reliant on them.

Because I wanted this to be our fresh start.

Yeah, well, you know.

Hell of a fresh start.

I didn't ask you about it sooner because... I suppose I was keeping it

as some kind of evidence that I could use against you.

I kept it in my jewellery box. How twisted is that?

Ask around at work and find out who it belongs to.

Hey.

I've started taking my medication again.

I know that I need it.

Please forgive me.

Let's move on now.

Put it behind us. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've got a plan.

I'll talk Anna into moving to Australia.

But what about us?

You'll come too.

Anne will give you a reason to move in.

While I work on getting full custody.

You'll see why we need to protect the kids from her.

We'll grab moments when we can.

It just seems so risky.

There is nothing we can't work out.

It's definitely my bracelet.

I must have dropped it when you picked me up from the airport.

Well, we'll have to be more careful.

She thinks you're on with Caroline, and she wants my advice.

Tell her to confront her.

Yeah, that'll work for us.

But she's seen you leave work together. How are you going to explain where you

go? How well do you know the city?

You took these.

I'm so sorry. Hold them fresh, darling.

When she unravels again, we know she will.

She'll have no hope of taking the kids back to the UK.

I'll divorce her.

She'll be gone.

And we'll be together.

You're the evil temptress, aren't you?

Did you mind documenting everything that happened with Anna the other day?

I pushed him too far.

Same as I always do.

How could she be so reckless?

Does she realise how serious this is? Leave that to me.

You should go to the beach house, both of you. Make a day of it.

Oh, my God.

Look at this view.

Are you all right?

Jake, help!
