(foreboding music)

(birds chirping)

("Numb" by Portishead playing)

("Numb" playing
from small speaker)

That's a serious allegation.

Yeah, okay, yep.
We'll look into it. Thank you.

Owner of the newsagent. Thinks
Joe Baker is the killer.

Didn't actually live in
Ashford in 1994,

but her hairdresser saw Joe
yelling at Isabel

at a hockey game once.

Right. Case closed then.

That's the 10th call
like that this week.

What's that?

It is Isabel's movements
the night of...

Isabel and Chloe were walking
home from the formal,

and they parted ways at the
T intersection at 12.30am.

That was the last
known sighting of Izzy.

Now, the distance between T
intersection and the Baker house

is two k's.

Well the boss thinks the
guy in the blue car

must have picked her up
in those two k's.

Yeah! But why dump the body all
the way the other side of town?

Here!

There's all this
bushland along here

where he could have
dumped the body.

But yet, he drove five k's away

and dumped her body
at the cemetery.

In plain sight, I might add.

Does that make sense to you?

No, sir.

It doesn't make sense.

(theme music)

(percussive flourish)

Her drawings are beautiful.

Thank you, Mrs. Baker.

I'll make sure these
are returned to you.

Thanks.

So uh, how does this help?

It's important I
get to know Isabel.

You know, a lot of
time has passed,

people's memories,
they can be deceptive.

They fade, some people lie.

But this, Isabel,
she won't lie.

You've felt pain like ours.

I can see it in your eyes.

Um, did Isabel say anything

about a formal after-party,
or did she mention at all

that she was going to
meet someone that night?

No, she was coming
straight home.

And you were at work
that night, right?

The night shift?

And your husband was at home?

That's correct?

Yeah, that's all on
their original statements.

Yeah, I know.

That's where I'm getting
the information from.

Just making sure it's accurate.

Well, I really appreciate this

and I think it's, um,
it's really going to help.

Thank you.

(clock ticking)

[Voicemail Message] This is
Senior Sergeant Angela Zhang.

Please leave a message. (beep)

Hey, boss lady.

Just seeing how you went

chasing down the owner
of that blue car.

Give me a call back.

(car whooshing)

(ominous music)

(child screaming)

(ominous music continues)

(terrifying musical screech)

(birds chirping)

[Hector Voiceover] Dear 2019,
my name is Hector Ford.

In 1994, my life
is just beginning

because I'm about
to leave Ashford

and everyone in it behind me.

The cool kids will die in this
shithole, but I'll escape.

We can talk inside
if you prefer.

Here's fine.

Babe, this is
Detective Cormack.

Hey, hey.

Mind if I keep going?

No, please.

Shit, sorry.

Thank you.

(brush whooshing)

What was Izzy like?

She was beautiful,
smart, funny.

I'm sure everyone's
told you that.

Even those that
were shit to her

suddenly loved her
when she was gone.

Anyone in particular?

(chuckling) I didn't
mean it like that.

It was high school.

Everyone was two-faced.

Sounds like you had a
tough time in high school.

Small town, small minds.

Mm.

It's been suggested

that you had some unusual
interests at school;

that you might have been
fascinated by the occult.

(scoffing) I went
through a Goth phase

after I watched "The Crow."

I wasn't Marilyn Manson;
I was lonely.

You found a friend
in Isabel, huh?

We moved in different orbits,
but we did the time capsule.

We just clicked.

What do you think
happened to her?

I dunno.

I spent the last 25 years
trying not to think about it

so I could remember
her as she was.

Now unfortunately,
the police back in '94

didn't interview you.

So there's no record
of where you were

the night of the formal.

At the formal.

After that.

I went home.

Yeah, can anybody
confirm that?

No.

My parents were away.

They travel a lot.

Why?

You left town two days
after Isabel was killed.

Why'd you do that?

Moved to Sydney for uni.

But uni doesn't
start until February.

You didn't want to stick
around for her funeral?

People grieve differently.

I don't want to be rude,

but got a lot of work
to get through here.

Okay, I'll let you
get back to it.

Thanks.

Thanks for your time, mate.

Yeah.

(eerie music)

(bag slamming)

This town is toxic.

What happened?

I heard some woman
at the shops.

She said Pop
killed Aunty Izzy.

Oh, bub.

Come here.

What's wrong with people?

Let's get out of the
house for a bit, eh?

Feel the water on our feet.

(woman singing
in native language)

(reel clicking)

(waves crashing)

(woman continues singing)

(mobile phone chiming)

(ominous music)

(bird calling)

Sarge, physical evidence arrived
from the EMF in Brisbane.

(tape tearing)

(papers rustling)

(ominous music)

(Dale breathing heavily)

Try to focus on the girl
who was wearing the dress,

on who she was when
she was alive.

Doesn't that just
make it harder?

No.

What is it?

I don't remember
any red soil like this

at any of the known
locations from that night.

Looks like she
was crawling in it.

Trying to get away?

Maybe.

Where's her necklace?

She wore a bird necklace
at the formal that night.

See, it's in all the photos.

Maybe it came loose
during the struggle

when she was killed.

That's a possibility.

Or the other one is
that the killer took it

just like he took her hair.

(rooster crowing)

That is lush.

I don't know, it kind of
clashes with my necklace.

So what?

Just don't wear the necklace.

Are you even still
going with Anton?

Yeah, we just had a fight.

Uh-uh.

Oh, I love your necklace.

Even if you break up with him

you should still wear it to
the formal just to rub it in.

(girls laughing)

Hey, I got us a present.

Check this out.

Tada!

That's pretty cool.

They're our road
trip uniforms.

But shouldn't we
be saving our money

for more essential
things like food?

Don't worry, you don't
have to pay me back.

My Dad bought them.

Mum's home.

Thanks.

You want some
Yum Yum tart?

Is that even a question?

Hey, Iz, I need to show
you this video.

(bell dinging)

I don't get it.

Hang on, it's coming.

(man) Sorry.

(man speaking in video)

Hector!

Is that it?

That is so sus.

He runs the place.

There's heaps of reasons why
he could be talking to her.

I don't think he
was there to talk.

Seriously?

It's Chloe's dad.

I've known him forever.

I reckon he's sus.

(watch beeping)

Shit, I've got
to go to work.

Do you want some company?

(birds singing)

(register beeping)

"Priscilla," that looks so gay.

I think it's great.

The dresses in it
are really cool.

Is that Mr. Ludlow
from woodwork?

Yep.

What did he rent?

"Basic Instinct."

(car starting)

Oh gross!

It's the third time
he's rented it.

Seriously?

This week.

(both laughing)

(man talking)

(car starting and revving)

(children chattering)

Hey.

What's that?

Just the shit Mrs. Walker
wanted for the time capsule

for the SES.

Why haven't you been at school?

Because Dad's been
a bit shorthanded.

I've been helping him
with the harvest and stuff.

So where were you on Sunday?

I must have been waiting
for like an hour.

I'm sorry,
I couldn't get away.

Mum needed my help after church.

That's bullshit.

I mean, Tasha
was working at the Servo

and she saw you ride past,

so who gave you the
better offer this time?

Was it Mick or Hector,
'cause honestly, Izzy,

I just can't keep track.

You're the one that hangs
out with Tasha all the time.

That's 'cause
she wants to hang out.

Wait, where were you?

I don't have to
tell you everything.

Whatever.

What's up with you?

Nothing.

Trouble in paradise?

You don't know
the half of it.

(Anton and Tasha
continue talking)

(pages rustling)

(ominous music)

(percussive music)

Creepy.

Sorry.

What is it?

Some kind of pagan grim
reaper, death shepherd.

What are you turning
into a Goth now

'cause you're
hanging out with Hector?

Very funny.

Uh, Mum's leaving
if you want a lift.

Do you have an army
disposal store or something?

(Chloe laughing)

Cool, hey?

What even is that?

It's a torch

in case we need a piss in
the bush at night. (laughing)

That does sound handy.

Yeah.

Who's that?

Um, I'm not sure.

Sometimes if the
pickers lose work

Dad get them odd jobs here
and there to help them out.

That's nice of him.

Mm.

She's pretty

I guess.

Anyway,
what do you reckon?

I think we're
pretty much sorted.

Looks like it.

Except for telling
your parents.

(bird singing)

(tires crunching)

What happened?

I'm sorry, Iz.

(Joe) Isabel!

(door thuds)

Did you go through my room?

I found your sister reading it.

She shouldn't be in my stuff.

This book is full of sin.

The enemy led you to it-

You haven't even read it.

You don't know
what I'm thinking.

Don't own my mind.

(chair thudding)

While you're in my
house, you obey my rules!

(Isabel breathing raggedly)

It's not your fault.

(sombre music)

(birds singing)

(birds singing)

(car humming)

(car purring)

I need to show
you something.

When Izzy was murdered,
we were the victims.

Yet somehow we were the
ones under questioning.

Why was Izzy
dressed so pretty?

(cane rustling)

Was she drunk?

Why didn't her parents
pick her up?

Do you know what
that feels like?

Yeah.

I do.

You know, apart from
the swish coffee,

things have barely changed
at this petrol stop

since I was a kid.

Ashford hasn't changed
much either.

You know,
the gossip around town

is that Izzy didn't get
into the car that night;

she came home
and Dad killed her.

Luckily, I don't deal in
gossip, just the truth.

Can I trust you to do
right by my family?

You can trust me to
do right by Isabel.

I know Izzy didn't
come home that night.

The one thing that has
changed around here:

the phone box is gone.

(percussive strikes)

I was asleep on the
couch when she rang.

I got up, turned the TV off,
and went into the kitchen.

Mum was at work and Dad
was asleep, so I picked up.

Izzy asked me to get Dad,
but I wouldn't

'cause I wanted to
know where she was.

She said that she
was out here.

Then I heard a car pull up,

and this song was playing,
and Izzy went quiet.

(rock music)

I asked her if she
still needed Dad,

if she still needed
a lift, and she,

she didn't answer me, so I
thought that she was drunk.

I thought that
she was partying.

I got angry with her and
I told her to walk home.

(eerie music)

And then I hung up.

(metal creaking)
(rock music)

Izzy didn't want a
lift that night.

She needed help.

(intense note reverberating)

(eerie music continues)

Thank you for telling me that.

I'm going to step outside
for a minute, okay?

'Kay.

(insects trilling)

(car door thuds)

(shoe scraping)

(car door thuds)

Can you remember
what time it was?

After midnight. (sniffs)

Around 12:30.

Look, I know I should have
said something a long time ago.

Hey, you were just a kid.

To be honest, before the letter,

I don't think the information

would've made much of
a difference to Turner.

And now?

Well, it changes the timeline.

Knowing where she was, it, uh,

it's a pretty important
piece of the puzzle.

What was she
doing out here?

I mean, there's
nothing out here.

(sombre music)

(wind rustling)

(Turner) What's that all about?

That is Isabel's
last known location

the night of the murder.

According to who?

A credible witness.

Yeah, I seriously doubt
they're more credible

than Chloe Walcott, who was
walking home with Isabel

at the same time your 'CI'
puts her at the servo.

Might be worth asking
if your witness

who's just magically
remembered this vital info

has a reason to lie.

(birds singing)

(door opens)

Hey, hello, love.

We don't see you
in here very often.

Everything okay?

I need to ask you about
the night Izzy died.

You carried this alone
all them years.

Why didn't you tell me?

Guilt.

And fear.

About asking where
you were that night.

After I hung up,
when I passed your room,

the door was open
and it was empty.

Where were you, Dad?

Look, I'm not saying...

I just need to know
so I can protect you.

I was here helping a
parishioner in need.

Thank God.

You've got an alibi.

Who were you with?

I can't tell you that.

They came to me
to confess a sin.

Dad, this is more
important than that.

If Turner finds out that
you don't have an alibi...

I don't fear Sergeant Turner's
judgement, or any man's.

Savages.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

What does it even mean?

It's blackbirding.

Eh?

62,000 islanders
were brought in

to work on the cane
back in the day.

You studying to
go on "Millionaire"?

No, I Googled James Ashford

after Kalana tagged
the statue last time.

Never knew we had
slavery in Australia.

Yeah, well you can save
your virtue signalling

for your boyfriend
from the city.

That's nice.

Yeah, clean that shit up.

Kalana!

(players shouting)
(whistle trilling)

Hey, what's up?

That statue was
vandalised again.

Great.

I didn't do it.

I'm glad someone
did, though.

Go get your things;
we're going home.

I have to train.

Is everything all right?

Sorry coach, I got to go.

Coach?

Yeah, Leo's back's playing up,

so I offered to
fill in for a bit.

Hey, um, is there any
way that Kal can stay?

It's just,
I'm still getting up to speed

and she's the captain.

She's a natural leader.

I'll drop her home
if that helps.

That won't be necessary.

Front gate, 6:01.

Hurry up.

(players chattering)

Thanks for that.

How you doing?

How do you think I'm doing?

Yeah, yeah.

Sorry.

You look like shit.

Yeah.

I better get back to it.

Pair up again.

(Tasha Voiceover) Dear 2019,
my name is Tasha Hopkins.

In 2019 I predict Ashford
will be pretty much the same.

Fuck all ever changes
around here.

Were you surprised
by Isabel's letter at all?

No.

She always did like to be
the centre of attention.

Hmm, I heard she was
pretty level-headed.

Yeah, well, she's a saint now,
isn't she?

Saint Fucking Isabel.

You obviously miss her a lot.

Don't get me wrong.

It sucks she died.

But it was a lifetime ago.

You and her had a
little friction, huh?

Over Anton?

It's pretty simple, really.

I was in love with him,
he was in love with her.

She broke up with him the
night of the formal.

You know why?

I assumed it was 'cause of
the other guy she was seeing,

the older bloke.

Do you know who
this older bloke was?

No.

My brother saw her
with him a few times,

but all I know he was
older and he was black.

Why didn't you tell the
police this back in '94?

Didn't ask.

Only asked me if I spent
the night with Anton.

And you did, right?

The whole night?

Yep. (blowing smoke)

My shift's about to start.

One last thing.

Do you know what Isabel meant

when she said she'd
seen The Ankou?

No.

It's probably some god
botherer bullshit.

I really do have to work.

I know.

(birds tweeting)

(footsteps scraping)

(eerie music)

(leaves rustling)

I was on my morning jog.

Came up through there,
through the cane.

She was laying there.

Did you reposition
her body at all?

No.

I checked her pulse.

But I knew she was
already gone from us.

What about the flowers?

Did you put them on her?

Nah.

He must have done that.

Twisted fuck.

You two dated
for a while, huh?

We didn't call it that,
but yeah.

Vince said that Isabel
was dating an older fella

at the time of her death.

You two didn't get
back together, did you?

No.

I loved Izzy, but she
was more like a sister.

What about her father?

I heard he's pretty strict.

How you reckon he
would've reacted

if he found out she was going
out with an older fella?

You want to know what Joe
thinks about something,

you ask him.

Yeah.

(mobile phone chiming)

Hey, boss.

How's it
going up there?

Yeah, making progress.

Bloody hot, though.

That's probably
just the menopause.

(James chuckling)

Hey, your father's been
trying to reach you.

Called you, did he?

No.

Someone from homicide
dropped a message off.

Said your dad needs you to
come and see him urgently.

Is everything all right, James?

Yeah, I'm fine.

All good.

All right, thanks.

Cheers.

(bird squawking)

(James exhaling)

(door slamming)

Fuck!

You want to call now, huh?

You want to talk to me?

(James breathing heavily)

(metallic clanking)

(lighter clicking)

(skin sizzling)

(James groaning)

(James breathing hard)

Need any help
with them carrots?

No, you're good
with the beans.

(mobile phone chiming)

Hey.

I've got a question.

Go ahead.

Was your sister dating
anyone else other than Anton?

Possibly an older guy?

Possibly from the community.

Are you serious?

I was told that she was.

By who?

It doesn't matter who.

I can't believe you.

You're slut-shaming
my dead sister.

I'm not judging your sister,

I'm just asking a question.

Yeah well, it's a shit question.

I thought you said you
didn't listen to gossip.

(dial tone beeping)

What's got you so filthy?

Bloody cops.

They're all the same.

I thought you were
warming to that new fella.

He just tried telling me

that Izzy was seeing an
older fella, one of ours.

I would've known if she
had another boyfriend.

Wouldn't be so sure about that.

Your sister was almost as good
as you at keeping secrets.

So I spoke to the owner
of your blue car,

Pastor Tim Foster.

He was in New Zealand at
the time of the murders,

but he said that he sold the car

to some young guy who was
doing some work

for him around the church.

This young guy got a name?

Ezekiel Iesul.

I-E-S-U-L.

I ran his name and pinged on
the Border Force database.

He entered Australia
from Vanuatu in 1979

when he was just a kid through
his visa, but he never left.

Doesn't show up anywhere else.

No ATO, no social security
or medical records.

Thank you, rookie.

You'll make a mighty fine
detective one day.

Goodbye.

(crickets chirping)

(James sighing)

Ezekiel Israel.

(people chattering indistinctly)

(knocking at door)

(paper rustling)

(James groans)

(James exhales)

(crickets chirping)
(hand thuds)

(door clacks)

(crickets chirping)

I, um, thought you
were my food.

Can I come in?

(blows raspberry)
You've come this far.

Thanks.

(door thuds)

Neat freak, I see.

Oh, I wasn't,
uh, expecting company.

I remember Issy
reading this book.

She got in so much trouble
when Dad found out.

How do you know?

She had it in parts
of the video.

What was Richie's
favourite book?

Um, don't remember.

Right.

(book thuds)

That older man theory might
have a ring of truth to it.

Aunty Rosa said that
there was a guy

working at the mill
at the time,

Issy was running
around with.

Ezekiel.

How'd you know?

He was the owner of the
blue station wagon?

(crickets chirping)

Fuck!

Does this mean Turner
was right all along?

I don't know, maybe.

But it does mean that
we have to find Ezekiel,

and that's not going
to be easy

because he's been here
illegally for 25 years.

Okay.

I can get word out on the
Murri grapevine.

We can find him that way.

I'll try anything.

And Aunt gave me this.

That's him, huh?

I think so.

(tense music)

(guitar thrumming)
(birds chirping)

(guitar thrumming continues)

(people chattering indistinctly)

Hey.

Um, do you need anything,

gloves or a long sleeve shirt
for the sun?

No, thanks. I'm all good.

I'm not picking,
I'm in the mill.

Oh, okay.

I heard you sing on
Sunday at church.

It was really beautiful.

Thanks. You're
Pastor Joe's daughter.

I'm Ezekiel.

I'm Isabel. Where do
you usually live?

I live in Sydney,
but I move around a lot.

I just follow the work.

How you like Ashford?

Yeah, it's such a
lovely community

and the beach is close.

I really need the water.

What beach do you go to?

I think it's called
South Beach.

Oh. Oh, yeah, that's nice.

But Shell Bay is a lot better.

I can take you there.
(birds chirping)

What would Pastor Joe
think about that?

He would like that. It's,
you know, good hospitality.

Helping the visitors.

Um, but meet tomorrow
at 7:00 AM at the park.

Yeah.

What? What?

(people chattering indistinctly)

(plastic container thuds)

Mama's taking forever.
I'm so hungry.

Yeah, she's having a yarn.

(engine rumbling)

(engine revving)

Aye, come on. You're not
on your own time now.

Hurry the fuck up!

Billy Hopkins is such a creep.

(keys clangs)
(engine revving)

(shift gear rattling)

(engine revving)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(water splashing)

You're so
lucky to grow up here.

Yeah, I guess. But
I can't wait to see Sydney.

Sydney never really
felt that home to me.

(water splashing)

I was born on Tana,

and I moved away when
I was really young,

but it's home.

It's in my blood.

(water sploshing)

I miss it.

I feel it in here.

Have you been back?

I want to, but

(birds chirping)

ever since my father died

I've had more responsibilities.

I have to provide for my
family, back on the island.

(water sploshing)

What about you?
(birds chirping)

Your family are from Tana.

(birds chirping)

Have you ever been home?

No, not yet.

But maybe we could go
there together one day.

(both chuckles)

Maybe.
(birds chirping)

(water sploshing)

Time to swim, aye?

(water sploshing)

Wait, that tattoo.
I've seen one the same.

What does it mean?

Where did you see it?

(tense music)

On a boy out at Dalkeith.

When was this?

On Sunday.

Did you
talk to the boy?

No, he was running,
someone was chasing him.

That boy's my cousin.

Who was chasing him?

I don't know. It was a
man on a trailer bike.

I need you
to show me right now.

I can't.
I have to go to school.

Aw!

(door thuds)

(door thuds)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

Tell me what you saw.

He came from there.

He fell over and
dropped his boots.

And a trail bike
came from over there.

And the boy, (sighs)

he got up and kept running,

and the bike went after him.

And then they were gone.

Someone was trying
to hurt him.

Who?

I don't know.

Why didn't you help him?

I was scared.

You was scared. (pants)

(tense music)

(Ezekiel yelling)
(wooden rod clanging)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

Sorry about the decor, mate.

Not much privacy around here.

(exhales) So, what's going on.

Steve Walcott.

All right, what about him?

Issy had a fight with him
when we were at Chloe's

getting ready for the formal.

I can't remember
exactly what she said,

but I know for certain
she called him a predator.

Like in her letter.

What do you reckon
she meant by that?

I dunno.

He was a bit of an old perv.

Anyone else see this fight?

Look, I've got
some of it on tape

but I lost my camera
at the formal.

You lost your camera, okay.

And you just remembering
this now, huh?

It was a long time ago.

Anything else?

No.

Just thought that might help.

Come on. Let's go.

You're not going to tell Steve
this came from me, are you?

No.

But why do you care?

He's just not someone

you want to get on the wrong
side of.

(tense music)

(Isabel Voiceover) In 2019, I
predict that Ashford will be

still full of predators
disguised as friends.

(tense music)

I've seen The Ankou here.

Sharpening its scythe,

waiting to reap our souls.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

There are people here
I trusted...

(tense music)

...but now I know they
feed on suffering.

(tense music)

One day, when I'm safe
from their clutches,

I will expose them

and their cruelty.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

That's if they don't
kill me first.

(billiard ball clangs)

(people chattering indistinctly)

Welcome back, Billy. Welcome.

My little sister,

beer fairy since age 13.

That's your only
freebie big bro.

(people chattering indistinctly)

So, when did you
get back? (exhales)

Yesterday.

Where are you staying?

No room here.

I'm squatting out at the
old place. It's empty.

Why the hell
did you come back home

if you're going to be staying
in that crack den?

I'm glad you're back.

-Are ya?
-I am.

But, you know, I thought

your parole officer set you up
with that job on the trawlers.

Yeah well,
I get sea sick don't I.

Then I got wind that they
were reopening the case,

so I thought, you know?
(laughs)

Oh, Jesus.

Billy, what are you cooking up?

(people chattering indistinctly)

They give us these decks,
on the inside, you know,

hoping people with snitch,

get a reduction in their
sentence, you know. (chuckles)

I spent a lot of time with
Isabel in my cell. (laughs)

See, that story that
Turner spun back then,

about the monster in the night,
see, that was bullshit.

-What do you know?
-Enough.

I've been sitting on a
lot of secrets. (chuckles)

It's time to see how much
they're worth.

(crickets chirping)
(engine revving)

(phone ringing)

Hey.

I got word from
a cousin up north.

Apparently Ezekiel's
in Townsville.

That didn't take long.

Um, thanks.

Send me the address.

I'll head up there first
thing in the morning.

Yeah, we should leave early.

Pick me up at 6:00 AM?

Hang on, you're not invited.

Uh, I'm the one that sent
word out to community

to find him.

There's going to be
blowback on me

if a bully man rocks
up to their doorstep.

Besides, no one's going
to talk to your albino ass

if I'm not there.

Okay, fine.
Pick you up at 6:00.

(crickets chirping)

(engine revving)

(knock on door)

(door clacks)

Oh.

Hello. Hi, Mary?

Can I help you?

I'm Hazel and this is
Detective James Cormack.

-Hello.
-Hey.

Uh, we're looking
for Ezekiel Iesul.

Uh, what is this about?

Uh, he's not in any trouble.

Uh, we've just got a few
questions for him

and we think he might be
able to help us.

I doubt that.
Zeke died last year.

Zeke was sick, but we
didn't have Medicare.

Eventually, we went
to the hospital,

but by the time we got
there it was too late.

I'm so sorry, Mary.

But why are you looking
for my husband?

Well, (exhales) I'm
investigating an old case

down in Ashford.

The same time that Ezekiel

was working down there in '94.

Is this about the lost boys?

Um, what lost boys
are you talking about?

Ezekiel, he had two
cousins from Vanuatu.

They went missing
in Ashford 25 years ago.

What happened?

Zeke was supposed
to protect them.

His two cousins, they
were sons of a chief.

And when he didn't
protect them,

he brought shame
to this family.

But it wasn't his fault.

They just disappeared.

Was this ever reported?

Well, no. See,
Zeke was here illegally.

And you think the police
are going to care

about a couple of
kids from Vanuatu?

Zeke, he wanted to go back
and he wanted to keep looking,

but he was scared.

He was frightened of Ashford.

Frightened of what?

He said there was
darkness in Ashford.

The enemy lived there.

And then when he couldn't
find them two boys,

he got angry and
he hurt someone.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

Mary, I want you to
be truthful with me.

Who did he hurt?

I don't know.

Mary.

I don't know who he
hurt. He didn't tell me.

But my Zeke,

my Zeke, he was a gentle
and kind man.

But he said the enemy
got inside him that night

and he just lost control.

(tense music)

Mary?

Yes.

How did you get this?

That's a friend of Zeke's.

He sends a card
every Christmas.

Do you know him?

(intense music)
