[music plays]

[knocking]

Hello?

I need help. [gasps]

Come in.

Look, sorry, what's wrong with you?

- My dad.
- Yeah, what about your dad?

He got mad.

Got mad?

Where is he now then?

He passed out.

Well, he must be out looking for you by now. Surely?

What about your mum? She must be...

No, she's not there anymore. She's away.

When's she coming back?

In a few days. I don't know.

[sighs] I don't know what you want me to do.

I didn't know where else to go.

I was walking for ages...

There's no way I'll be able to find my way back.

It's too dark now.

Have you not got a phone? You could
ring someone to come pick you up.

[crying] No.

I've got a phone... you can...

- It doesn't... it doesn't work.
- I can't go back home.

I don't know what to suggest. Look... I've had a drink.

I can't even drive you anywhere.

[gasps] Can I not just stay here?

Sorry, it's not that I don't want to help. It's just...

I'll go in the morning.

My dad won't even notice if I'm not there tonight.

I left him a note, saying I was at my friend's.

[crying] He probably won't even see until tomorrow.

[crying] Please?

[birds singing and trees blowing]

[gasps]

Morning. I was just about to wake you.

What time is it?

Erm. It's seven o'clock.

I'll just meet you downstairs then. Okay?

You're not going to get very far.

Pardon?

Keys.

- Oh.
- In the kitchen, on the hook.

I was thinking, maybe you should
tell the school what's been going on?

- No.
- They might be able to help you.

What are you gonna do until your mum comes back?

Probably just ask my friend or something.

Well don't tell anyone you've been staying here.

I don't want no trouble. Yeah? Just keep me out of it.

Okay.

[TV news report] The police are still
searching for 12 year old girl Molly Harding.

She was last seen leaving school
grounds around 3 pm, last Monday.

Her brother Gary issued a
statement earlier this morning.

She was her normal, happy self that morning.

I don't think she ran away.

I know that the police are
doing everything they can, but...

if there's anyone out there...

that knows anything. That can help...

I just need her back.

I want my sister back.

Turn this shit off!

I'm sick of hearing about it!

It's already depressing enough. Can't cope!

- Same again mate?
- Yes. Obviously.

- Same again.
- It's Wednesday afternoon. What are you doing in here?

Drinking this shit.

Prick.

Hey, I heard that! Anyway, why aren't you working today?

Why don't you pour me a drink?

Getting pissed, are we? Charlotte's gonna
love that. Doesn't she live with you now?

Alright, Grandma. I'll do what the fuck I want!

Rick. Mate.

Well, it's all on my shoulders.

- Look, Kate. - Katie
- We know what we're doing.

- Ka-tie, we know we're doing.
- Yeah, it's not our fault that we're under-staffed.

We're on it.

Are you.

Do you hate us, Kate?

Yeah, Kate, do you hate us.

I really do have time for this today.

Yeah, well neither do we. We could be doing it now...

but Instead, we're sat around talking about it.

Maybe you're the distraction.

[phone rings] Look, I've been asked from the top
to get an update on where we are with everything.

I don't have much confidence right
now that you two are on track. so...

[phone continues ringing] Oh, that's mental!

Pick it up.

Hello.

[Rick] Busy?

I've got a few minutes.

Everything alright?

I don't know.

I've fucked up.

What do you mean?

What have you done?

It's Charlotte...

we're just not getting on.

You need to make more of an effort
with her, Rick. You already know this.

I'm trying.

I just can't fucking do it.

Well, don't stress me out about it.

- [Sound of a glass smashing and laughter]
- Where are you?

- Out.
- Jesus, Rick! It's 2 pm.

Look, I don't know what you want me to say,
but I know getting drunk isn't the answer.

She needs to be your priority,
now that she's living with you.

I just... I just don't know.

I thought you said you wanted this, Rick?

- [Guys in the office] You go.
- Okay, let me first.

[Cheering in the office] Look,
I'm really going to have to go.

[Guys shouting in the office] You're gonna have to
figure this on out on your own. You can't keep asking me.

[Birds singing]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Bad, innit?

- What?
- What's happening.

What?

It's been a week now.

Actually crazy.

Oh.

I spoke to her every day as
well. She was actually really nice.

I didn't really know her.

I can't face going to school.

- Have you not been going?
- No.

Anyways, I'll probably be moving again soon,

so it don't really matter

What's your Instagram?

Do you have the time?

I'm sorry, my dad's going to be wondering where I am.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Well, you're very lucky, because
my boyfriend is being a right idiot.

He's been proper off with me for the past
two days, which is not like him at all.

He asked me for some photos the other day, Right.

So I sent him some, and he didn't even reply.

It annoyed me because he promised me
he'd meet up with me if I sent them to him.

Do you live this way?

No, I don't.

Right. I'll see you later. Bye!

How's it going?

Yeah, I'm just trying to download these reports.

You don't have to do all this, you know.

I'm aware it was very last minute,
and I don't want you overworking.

No, it's fine.

Honestly, it's erm... erm...

Sorry.

- What were you saying?
- You look tired.

- I just hate not being around her anymore.
- Who?

Oh, my daughter. Sorry.

I know that was really random.

She's with her dad in the week
now, I see her every other weekend.

It's... It's been a really strange transition.

Well, I think there's too much pressure

on the mother to be the full time parent.

You need to think about yourself, too.

I just can't help but worry when she's with him.

I always have this feeling that
something is going to go wrong.

She is really sensitive and he can be a bit...

okay.

When are you seeing her next?

Erm... Sunday.

Well, on Sunday, talk to her. See
how she feels about everything.

There's no point in you dreaming
up a situation that isn't there.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I know she'll be fine.

Well, the support is here if you need it.

And this...

This could be great for you.

Head office are looking for a new area manager.

I know you could do it.

Come in then.

Shoes.

Sorry.

You can sit down you know. I don't bite.

No luck finding anywhere then?

No, I asked my friend but I wasn't allowed.

Did anyone see you come here?

No, I was just talking to this one girl.

What girl?

- She's just from my school.
- What girl? She followed you here?

- Do she didn't. It was just...
- How far did she follow you?

- What did I say to you! All I wanted was...
- SHE WENT THE OTHER WAY!

I was trying to help you.

[upset] I'll go.

I'm sure your dad's going to have
a search party out for you by now.

No, I left him a note.

As long as I'm going to school, he won't care.

I said that I was at my friend's house.

I do it all the time.

My friend's mum's ill, so I can't stay this week.

He probably won't even find it until today.

But... he won't care.

So you say your mum's away?

Yeah.

- And how long is she going to be away for?
- Until Sunday.

So you're homeless until then?

Yeah.

Look, I'm going to trust you with
what you told me about your dad.

And if you want to stay here, then you can.

But you've got to promise me..

You don't tell anyone that you're staying here.

You go to school as normal.

And on Sunday, when you see your mum,

you tell her what your dad's been doing to you.

- You promise?
- Promise.

Good girl.

[Music]

Food?

Do you want some food?

No, thank you.

All right.

Suit yourself.

Don't move!

[loud hit]

You haven't told me your name yet.

Charlotte.

Charlotte. That is a pretty name.

[Cries]

[Laughing] It's just a spider.

[Toilet flush]

[Music]

[Roy on the phone] Ok yeah. How long will that be?

Yeah, brilliant. Alright. Thank you very much. Cheers.

[Slams phone down]

Oh, there you are. Won't be long now.

[Quiet breeze]

What do you normally do, when you're not at school?

Not much really, since moving in with my dad.

I'm sure we can find something to do.

Oh!

[Drawers opening]

- Do you have kids?
- What?

The game.

Oh, yeah. Loads, yeah.

They're all locked in the basement.

[Laughs]

I'm joking!

No, no, I never did, erm...

Never had the time, really.

No, this is just an old game.

Are you gonna play this, or what?

Okay.

Right.

Who's gonna go first then?

I will.

Alright, as you're the guest...

After you, my lady.

[Loud knock at the door]

That was quick.

Not a peep.

Okay.

[Gasps]

[Shhhhhhh]

Evening.

- You alright?
- Didn't fancy your usual?

No, not tonight.

Thanks very much.

- That's £17.65 please.
- Yeah, alright, hold on, one sec.

You'd think I'd know how to get here by now,

but that country lane gets me every single time.

I mean, I'm surprised you're not
going crazy being out here, on your own.

- Keeps me out of trouble, doesn't it.
- Oh, I love these!

You don't see many of these nowadays, do ya!

Check you out with your fancy camera.

You know, I had one of these ages ago, at my wedding.

He didn't want them, but...

I just liked how the pictures
turned out. I prefer them to digital.

- They've just got something about them, haven't they.
- Yeah, they take a good picture.

The thing is though, if you loose your
pictures, you just can't get em back.

I lost all ours.

Probably why he divorced me.

Maybe I should have married you instead?

Keep the change.

Oh, Thanks babe.

- You sure?
- Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Thanks a lot.

See you.

[door closing]

[Old film playing on TV]

[TV sound muffles]

[TV sound becomes clear again]

I thought you said your house phone was broken?

What?

Last night. The phone. You said you couldn't use it?

Yeah, yeah.

I sorted it. It was, erm.. It was the wires.

Look, are you hungry? You're not eating much, are ya!

I'll tell you what. Look. Let's put
this away. Have this later, yeah?

[Tense music]

What do you think you're doing?

[Nervous] Water.

I'm sorry. Have some water.

Common, drink it. You've got
to go to school in the morning.

I'm sorry.

[Music]

[Birds singing]

[Door knock]

Hello, Roy.

Are you Okay, Roy?

You look at bit stressed.

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Look, why don't you sit down? We've got
a lot of things we need to go over today.

Look, Is this going to take long?

I know you don't like any of this, Roy.

From what I've seen, you're doing really well,

but that's not going to stop them back
at the office, sending me out here, is it?

I know.

And it's nothing personal. Just doing my job.

So why don't we help each other
out and I can leave you in peace?

Let's get started with this then.

Is there something bothering you, Roy?

What?

How have your mood swings been lately?

Are you taking anything to help manage them?

- What mood swings?
- Roy.

No, I'm fine.

I'm doing alright. It's no problem.

- Shall we just get this done then, yeah?
- Yeah, fine.

Have you got access to a mobile, tablet, laptop,

or any other device that connects to the Internet?

No.

Look, Roy. I know you don't like going through
this, but it is what it is, I'm afraid.

If you do use any of these devices,

you need to ensure they're
not connected to the Internet

unless they can store a
history of your internet usage

for us to monitor.

Have you been looking for work?

- No.
- A job might do you good.

If it's something you want
to consider, then obviously

you have to ensure that it meets the guidelines.

So, you can't do any work or take
part in any recreational activity

that could put you in contact
with a person under the age of 16.

Do you think I'm stupid?

No, Roy, I don't think you're stupid.

I just have to read through your conditions with you.

There's only a few more, and then
you probably won't have to see me again.

For a while, at least.

So the remaining conditions of
your SHPO state that you mustn't use

a computer to download photographs
of anyone under the age of 16.

You must not enter or remain

in any house where anyone
under the age of 16 is present.

And lastly, you must not travel

or attempt to travel to a different country.

Are we done?

Look, I'm not contacting anyone.
I'm in the middle of nowhere.

I know Roy, and like I've said before,
I'm really pleased with your progress.

You're doing fine. More than fine.

You're not the only person
I have these meetings with,

and between you and me, some of the others...

What I'm trying to say is that if anyone is going

to learn from this and build
themselves a better life, it's you, Roy.

But in order to help you do that,

I need to go through the detail of the order with you.

I've got to know that you're cooperating
and that you're on the right track.

So I need to say that..

Breaking any of these SHPO conditions alone

is in itself a criminal offense.

Which carries a maximum
penalty of five years imprisonment.

I know.

I know.

I'm on your side, Roy.

So, you need to sign here.

It's to say you've read the conditions
and that you agree with the order.

See, that wasn't too bad, was it?

Now you can get on with the rest of your day

and do what you were doing when I got here.

Yeah, I've been quite busy, to be honest. So...

I'll just see you out, yeah?

Yeah.

- What do you mean?
- She was talking dead slow..

And sometimes didn't even know what she was saying.

I'd ask something, she'd turn away
mid-sentence and then look back

- and just nod.
- Maybe she thought you were dull.

Nah, it was proper weird. You'd think
she'd be more talkative on a first date.

Sure she wasn't deaf.

Stay here. Won't take long.

Actually, you.

What have you two morons got for me?

I'll erm... I'll get it for you, later today.

And you think that's okay?

No answer?

- What do you think, Sugar Tits?
- No, it's not okay,

- but I'm sorting it.
- I told you...

- I don't want to do business with him anymore.
- He said he needed the extra money.

I don't give a shit, what he needed!

This is business, not fucking charity!

- You know what he's like.
- Grant, he's a fucking kid.

Get me my money.

[Mobile phone rings] Get the fuck out of here!

Is she still with you?

Yeah, it seems like she wants to stick around.

How old?

Young.

You better be careful. You know how these things go.

I'll need to check it out,
before business can go ahead.

Look.

I'll get something over to you later. Alright?

The sooner the better.

Alright.

Just leave me alone.

Let me go home.

Oh, I saw you weren't at school again today.

Why's that? You crying over your dead Mum?

- That's none of your business.
- Well, that's where you're wrong. You see,

because you're in my school, and
everyone's business is my business.

- I just don't want to get in your...
- Woah!

[laughs] I've heard all about you, Chloe.

You went to my mate, Chelsea's School last term?

She told me all about you and your attitude.

She also told me about your special
little relationship with your dad.

Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!

Oh, there's no need to get all touchy.

Personally, I wouldn't be complaining.

Like, your dad is like... a little bit cute.

And also, I wouldn't tell her to shut up, if I were you.

Don't act all innocent.

We know what your dad does you, when he puts you in bed,

and we can both see how much you love it.

Hmm? Yeah?

You think you're so grown up, don't you?

But the truth is, you're just a little tramp.

Does it make you feel good,

talking down to me like this,
in front of your little puppet?

- Excuse me? I'm my own person.
- [Shhh]

I don't know who you think you are! Hmm?
Talking to me like that, but I know your type.

Oh, God, don't start crying.

- Excuse me, what are you doing?
- Pardon?

- I asked, What are you doing?
- I'm sorry, who are you?

- It doesn't matter who I am, but she's crying.
- But that's not my problem.

And who are you?

I'm sorry, Who is this.

What are you asking me for? I
don't hang around with little girls.

- It's fine.
- It's not fine.

You can't let people talk to you like that.

I'm sorry, why is there a ten
year old here, speaking to me?

- Are you okay?
- We should go.

That's right.

Go back crying to your mums.

You little losers.

Her mum's just died, Ryan. Have some respect.

Jesus Christ.

So, are you going to tell me who they were?

- Just some idiots, from school.
- Why were you crying?

It doesn't matter.

I'm meeting him, finally.

- Who?
- Jake.

My boyfriend. Look.

Oh. Is he coming to yours?

God, no. Like I'd like I'd let him anywhere near my dad.

I'm meeting him near Vocation Park.

Isn't that like, half an hour from here though?

Yeah.

Right, I need to go and get ready.

[Match strike]

[Intense music]

[Music ends] [Gasps in pain]

[Sound of the door opening]

Sorry about last night. I hope I didn't scare you.

I've found something for you to wear,
so you don't have to sleep half naked.

Oh, sorry, I forgot my coat.

I did knock.

It's erm... It's probably in the kitchen.

Were you expecting someone else?

What? No.

- It's not that. I just...
- Look, it's alright, Roy.

You're allowed to have visitors. Who is she?

Actually, it's noon, really.

Look, it's fine if you seeing
someone. It's not against the rules.

You're only human.

I think it's great you're getting yourself out there.

What does she think about all of this?

Haven't told her yet.

It's not exactly something to shout about.

Obviously, you're gonna be honest and open with her.

I've got some stuff if you want to read about it.

I'm not being funny. She could turn up any minute,

wonder who you are.

I'm just not ready for that conversation right now.

No, I appreciate that it's difficult.

Like I've said, you're on a really good path now,

and I think this could be really good
for you. The start of a new chapter.

- Look, why don't I talk to her?
- No, it's fine. I'll talk to her.

- Look actually...
- No, I said I'd talk to her!

Have you got nowhere else you need to be?

Oh, I forgot to mention that we've just been told that

these spot-checks are going to be
more frequent for the time being.

- Ok, yeah. That fine.
- Just thought you should know.

Yeah, that's alright.

- Have a nice evening.
- Right. See ya.

[Door opens]

[Music builds] [No audible sound]

[Birds singing]

It just looks so small.

What do you think happened to it?

Probably run away from it's mum.

Too little to look after itself.

[Soft music plays] [Sound of water splashing gently]

[Water splashing gently]

- Are you decent?
- Don't come in!

I got you this to wear.

For bed. It's not new, but...

it's better looking around in...

Erm, do you wanna take it?

[Tense music]

[Door knock]

Hang on a sec!

[Drawer closing]

Yeah, it's alright!

[Sobbing]

What have you... What's wrong?

[Charlotte sobs] What's happened?

I don't know. It's never happened before.

- Oww!
- Where's this blood come from?

- [Charlotte cries]
- NO! DISGUSTING! GET IN HERE!

SORRY! [Crying]

Get in there. ARMS UP! [Charlotte cries out]

[Silence]

I... I managed to get most of the blood out of this.

I'm so sorry. I know I overreacted.

I just... I just can't stand the sight of blood.

I've always been like it.

I want to go to the shops and
get you what you need. Alright?

[Door opens and closes]

[Sound of a door latch]

[Ominous music]

[A mobile phone vibrates]

[Mobile phone vibrating]

[Vibrating stops]

[Intense music builds]

- What are you doing in here?
- Sorry. I thought I heard a noise.

- It's probably the ghost.
- What?

It's alright.

It doesn't eat little girls.

Look, I've got those things for you.

I've left them in the bathroom.

If you come downstairs, I've
got a surprise for you. Okay?

[Tense music plays]

There you go. Alright?

I've heard that's what you're supposed
to give a woman, this time of the month

[Laughs] You're a woman now.

Go on then.

- I'm sorry if I scared you earlier.
- You didn't.

- It's just that I wanted..
- It's fine.

Okay.

[Flashback sound of Charlotte crying]

[Quiet countryside ambiance]

[Light switch]

[Tense music]

[Tense music builds]

[Birds singing] [Trees blowing in the breeze]

Could I get a glass of water, please?

Yeah, sure.

Have you ever seen one of these?

What?

[Camera clicks]

Yeah, I think my grandad used to
have... Did you just take a picture of me?

You know, I completely forgot
I had it, because it's been..

Did you just take a picture of me?

Yeah, I just wanted to show you the camera.

Can I see it?

Yeah.

- I mean, to be honest the flash don't work..
- NO THE PICTURE!

Yeah.

You look nice.

No I don't.

Shouldn't you be getting on to school?

I'm going to be out today, so you might be back before me.

You're gonna need the back door keys.

You do know if anyone found out about us,

and what you're doing here.
Social Services would take you away,

and you'd never see your mum again.

Trust me,

you don't want to get caught in the system.

Is that what happened to you?

You gonna go to school like that, are you?

Oh, yeah, I can't be late.

Just think, you'll be seeing your mum again soon.

[Traffic noise fades in]

I don't know.

Well, shouldn't he be back by now?

I don't know!

That helps, thanks.

You're asking me questions I can't answer.

I feel like we're exposed here,
I don't like standing around.

It's been about 15 minutes now.

Woh, woh, he must have heard you. [Grant cries out in pain]

- WELL? - We're done!
- Grant?

- We're done. It's over!
- What happened to your face?

- There was six of them. They've taken the lot.
- Fuckin hell.

I fucking knew it! I fucking knew it!

They've never asked me to meet them there!

Look, just calm down Surely
there's something we can do?

You don't know half of it!

- So they took the lot of you?
- Yeah!

This is my last fuck up.

There's no coming back for me on this!

- He's gonna kill us!
- You'll be lucky if that's all he does!

- What do we do?
- You've got no idea!

This here, isn't the half of it.

Hey, we just need to calm down...

- and we can sort...
- Mate! Mate!

You don't understand.

I've been doing this a long time.

I've seen shit.

Get in a car.

Look, if you fuck up, you're finished!

There's no second chance.

- GET IN THE CAR!
- We won't come up like his swanky politician mates.

- He doesn't give a shit if we're around!
- Just get in the car!

- She said no.
- I don't get it.

Don't ask me again.

- You've got the biggest house.
- No!

[Sighs] Oh well. It'll just be the two of us.

Yeah... about that...

Is that still a thing?

Your mum's thick...

She's just a bit worried about me getting pregnant.

Tell her not to worry. I'm not going to get you pregnant.

I'm on the pill.

- Oh, my god. There's that kid.
- What?

- That fetus that got in your face.
- Oh yeah. So weird.

- I know. She proper told you.
- Excuse me?

I just mean, like.

No, no, she didn't say anything to me.

She just...

What's she doing?

- I'm gonna go and have a little word with her.
- What?

I said, I'm gonna go over there and
I'm gonna have a little word with her.

About what?

- Get up! Come on, now.
- Gonna be late for school. Hang on.

Come on! Okay.

- What is she doing?
- Shhh!

I don't know.

God, she's so strange.

She must live there.

What we gonna to do, wait for her to come out?

[Phone vibrating]

FUCK!

[Retching]

[Cries]

Oh look, she's pregnant.

Get out!

Excuse me?

You need to get out!

- Oh, what is it with you and just telling me what to do?
- SHANNON!

No, you're not going anywhere
until we've had little chat.

No, seriously, leave it now!

No, I want to have a chat with her first!

- She can't just keep going round...
- We need to get out of this house!

- Yeah, we should go!
- You can't keep telling me what to do!

- What is it with you?
- No, I told you I didn't want to come here!

- I said earlier, why are we even bothering?
- Your attitude is disgusting!

- Alright, you've been giving it to me all day!
- Why don't we...

[The sound of a car door] SHHH!

Why are you freaking out so
much? It's just your dad, isn't it?

If he finds out I've not gone to school, he'll kill me.

Bit extreme.

Yeah, then he's going to wonder why you're
in his house, and what you're doing here.

Fuck. My mum's gonna kill me.

[Shuffling noises]

[Footsteps on stairs]

[Clicking phone buttons]

[Thudding noise]

[Phone vibrates]

Hello mate. Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way. Ten minutes.

For fuck's sake.

Stupid girl. [Mumbling]

Well, open it then!

[Gasps] He's locked it.

- What does that mean?
- It means he locked the door.

I know what it means, but what does it mean?

- Think it means we're fucked, Shannon.
- Well the front door then!

- It's locked. He's locked that as well.
- MOVE!

[Door handle sound]

It's locked!

Well, what are we going to do?

RUDE!

[The sound of Charlotte searching through drawers]

Errr! A selfie? Really?

No, Ryan.

I'm trying to get us out of here. There's no service.

- What time is it?
- It's 5 to 10.

Mum's gonna kill me.

Thought you said you'd skipped school before?

No, I didn't.

Anyway. What is taking her so long?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[Heavy breathing]

[Busy traffic noise]

You're late?

I'm really sorry.

I had to go back. I forgot something.

Always fucking excuses with you, Roy.

Have you brought it?

Ooh... 12?

Dunno. Yeah, something like that.

She's a pretty girl.

I thought she'd be perfect.

She is.

I've already got somebody in mind for her.

So it's definitely on then?

You sure we're in the clear on this one, Roy?

It's not how we normally do things.

Yeah.

Noone's coming looking for
her, if that's what you mean?

By the time they get the search
party out, she'll be long gone.

Take these. They'll put her out nice and quick.

[Roy] Are you sure they're gonna knock her out?

I don't want her waking up half
way through and it getting messy.

[Neil] They'll put a horse out.

[Roy] I'll ring you when she's out and ready.

Oh, Roy!

If you fancy having a go on her yourself,

Not too rough, hey.

Damaged goods are never good for my business

[Laughs]

What you gonna do if that actually opens?

You gonna fly out?

Don't see you coming up with any solutions.

You're about as much use as that embryo down there?

What's with your attitude suddenly?

Because I'm sick of getting into these

situations, because you need your
ego boosting. I could be at school now,

but... oh no!

Mrs. Big Bollocks wanted to have a go at Pampers!

[Charlotte whispers] He's back.

- We can get out the front door.
- Won't he see us?

Well, if he goes in the kitchen, we might have a chance.

If we go now, we can make it in time for the last lesson.

- No, no, you can't tell anyone you were here.
- We're not stupid!

[The sound of a kettle boiling]

[The sound of plates being put away]

He's shut the door. Quick.

Just go!

You're back early! Close that! [Door slams]

Letting all the heat out! Excuse me.

Have you just got back from school?

I thought I'd be back a lot
later than this, to be honest.

What's wrong with you?

I wanna go for a walk.

What you talking about? You just walked from school.

Please. I just need some fresh air, [crying]

You probably just need a drink of water, or something.

No, can I please have the key?

- No you can't have the key. Look...
- No, Please!

You look really pale. I'll get you some water.

Sit in there!

[Crunching]

You're probably just overexcited.

You're seeing your mum on Sunday.

So, only a couple more days.

When I was little, and I missed
people, I'd get excited, you know?

You'll be alright.

Bet you've got loads of things to tell her.

[Tense music]

There you go. That'll sort you out. Alright?

Right. Watch a bit of telly shall we?

If you fancy something?

Oh you're joking me!

Batteries. Hold on.

Have you been going through this drawer?

Found some!

Right.

Should do the trick.

What do you want? Some cartoons?

I don't really like them.

[Old film plays on the TV]

Come on, drink up.

You'll feel better, if you do.

Common, it won't kill ya! We'll do it together.

Cheers.

Go on.

You'll feel better.

Ah.. see.

[Tense music]

You alright?

I need to go outside.

No you don't.

[Crying] Please.

[Shhh]

Please..

I don't feel well.

[TV news report] Local girl, Chloe
Hemsworth has been reported missing.

Reports are saying that she was last
seen, last night, around vocation park.

She never came home.

A community search is now... [TV sound fades]

[Tense music]

[Tense music]

[Ringing noise]

[Cries]

[Sobbing]

BITCH! [Charlotte screams]

[Roy screams]

[Tense music and screaming]

[Distant screams]

[Roy mumbles angrily] [Charlotte screams]

[Loud slap]

[Charlotte screams and cries]

[Charlotte kicks Roy and he screams]

[Gasp]

[Choking]

[Roy screams in pain]

[Loud crack]

[Office ambiance]

- Adam, mate!
- Yep.

This was the tie I was telling you about.

Oh, it's not Christmas.

Wait wait wait wait.

- [Tie plays Christmas music]
- Oh, that's magical.

- [Laughs]
- Oh, I love that.

Here...

You'll never guess what I was up to you last night.

Here we go.

You know that bird I was seeing?
Well, I go out with her, right?

And her sister.

Right.

- [Tie continues playing music]
- So her sister is only 19, right?

Yeah. I know!

I know.

So we go into that bar, right?

You know that right posh one,
around the back of this place?

Keeping it classy. Got to spend
that commission, you know?

[Music stops playing] Mate? You listening?

Hold on.

No. Not hold on.

Who are you typing to? Christ!
Computer's not even warm yet!

- This is a classic, mate!
- You had sex with her sister, didn't you?

Yeah. I mean...

obviously, but mate, that
ain't even the half of it, right.

We get back to mine. Yeah?

And she pulled out this massive...

Erm, do you know if we've got any printer ink anywhere?

Fuck off, Shirley!

- Who put 10p in that dickhead?
- Shirley. [Laughing]

- What you doing?
- Er.. this.

Ah, paper rules.

Number 2.

Very important. Probably should be number 1.

You two! Why is Shirley crying? again.

Ask her.

Er, shall I print this out for head office, shall I?

You're not allowed to play, Kate.

Yeah, Kate. You're not allowed to play.

Stop calling me Kate, and get on
with what you're meant to be doing,

and give me back my chair.

- I had a dream about Shirley, last night.
- Oy oy!

[The sound of a lift beeping]

[Knocking]

Come in!

Great.

Are you going to sit down?

Yeah. Sorry.

Look, I know we've been corresponding over email,

but I just thought we should touch
base, So I can see how you're getting on.

Yeah, I'm alright.

Sorry, I'm just a bit overwhelmed at the minute.

Yeah.

With respect, this is something
that we have picked up on.

Your recent performance

levels have been declining.

Only over the past couple
of weeks, but it is noticeable.

Sorry.

It's something I just need to mention
and open up a conversation about.

Look, others have expressed concerns
about you taking on this new role.

Others? [Laughs]

You mean those two idiots out there?

Look, I know you are capable.

You can do anything.

I'm just concerned about your well-being, okay?

With the aim of requesting time off, I just.

I need you to know, there is support here,

if you do need it.

Sorry, it's stupid. I just... erm...

I think I'm just a bit overwhelmed at the minute.

Usually I can kind of just push it to the side, but

I think I'm just tired.

I just need a bit of time.

Maybe this week.

- I don't know. I just emailed.
- Yeah.

Of course.

And when you back, I'll schedule a back to work debrief.

So I can go?

Yeah, I've signed off on it.

- Okay, if you're sure?
- Yeah.

Just do something different this week.

Okay? Don't worry about work.

Just forget about this version
of yourself and just take care.

Okay. Thank you.

Okay.

Bye, Charlotte.

Look who decided to turn up.

Nice of you to join us.

Hello?

Do you need a booster seat?

Leave her alone.

Charlotte.

Char'... Charlotte!

Char'.

You alright? Shall we go chat?

- Yeah.
- Common.

Look. What's going on?

I've got the week off.

Just spoke to Jess.

What? Since when?

- This is about Rick, isn't it?
- No!

Well yeah, kind of.

I just, um.

Just need, like, a week to myself.

By your self? Char'

you've literally just moved in with him.

You guys were really happy.

What's he said about everything.

I haven't told him I'm going.

Right? You haven't told him?

No, I haven't.

Things haven't been great between us.

He punched a wall the other day.

Jesus.

You can't just take off

- and not tell him though, Char'.
- I know.

He's away till tomorrow.

I'll probably just leave him a note or something.

I'll figure it out.

Well, where are you gonna go?

[Laughs] He's gonna call ya.

If Rick calls... He will.

Can you tell him that you've
spoken to me and you know I'm fine.

And I will call him when I can.

Yeah, Yeah, of course.

I'm still going to worry.

You need to worry about me.

God. You need to worry about the fact that
you're gonna be left with them two out there.

Oh god. I don't even have time to think about them.

I'm still trying to settle into my routine.

When do you next see Sarah.

Well, It's every other weekend
now and I'm going back Sunday. So...

I'll see her for a bit in the afternoon.

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.

I'm just...

I just need to get out of here.

- Okay.
- I'll be back Monday.

Alright.

I'll give you a call.

[Quiet room] [Cock ticking]

[Roy's phone vibrates]

[Roy breaths heavily]

Where's mine?

Where's mine!?

[Roy groans] Picture?

[We hear Charlotte searching through drawers]

Found it.

So what am I putting then? hmm?

How much do I go for?

Jessica.

Molly.

Where is she?

Where are they all?

You must know?

I found your phone earlier.

Read your messages.

It's a good job, Really.

I knew what you went out to get.

Didn't really work though, did it?

You haven't really changed have you?

[Roy grunts in pain]

Look closely, Roy. It's been a
long time, but I haven't changed.

You always said you liked my blue eyes.

Do you remember this?

You took this picture.

Look!

That's me,

and that's Melissa.

She was only four.

Do you remember us?

She was so happy.

I have this vague memory of us and my dad

He was teaching me to right my bike,
and she tried to copy, but she fell off.

I remember being so worried

It's the only time I ever saw her cry.

And then you moved next door.

You were meant to be in there for 25 years.

And then they let you out after 18 and
gave you a sexual harm prevention order.

How's that going, by the way?

I wanted to believe that maybe you'd changed.

Maybe you felt bad about what you did,

but I wasn't gonna to risk it.

Looking like this was the easy part.

I mean, I don't exactly look 24, do I?

Especially not wearing this.

[Tense music]

I wanted to get it over with, the night I arrived.

I don't know what I thought
I'd feel when I saw you again.

I had a plan but I started to doubt myself.

In the morning, I just knew
I needed to get out of there.

I wasn't going to come back.

But after seeing you again,

I know I just couldn't let it go.

And I knew you'd let me back in.

[Sobs] Oh god.

When I came back,

everything just kept going wrong.

My plan was to drug you. Make it look like an overdose.

But then you flushed them away.

It's just a spider.

I didn't know what to do.

I was so scared that somebody might see me.

So I had to rethink.

What do you think you're doing?

I got that desperate,

I even faked my first period so I could snoop around.

I didn't know I had it in me,

to put on such a convincing performance.

But you believed every second of it.

Where's this blood come from? [Charlotte cries]

You know, after I saw your little box of secrets today,

I just wanted to leave.

I had a plan to drop them off at the police station,

send an anonymous note, and have them find you.

But things don't always work
out the way they're meant to

do they Roy?

Don't worry though...

I will leave them all out, so they see them.

[Roy groans in pain]

[Violent stabbing noise]

[Intense scream]

[Wet crunch]

[The sound of Charlotte leaving]

Roy? [Drops knife]

What the fuck happened to you? Jesus!

Hands where I can see them.

Turn around slowly.

You two fucking idiots. What are you doing here?

What's happened here then?

Looks like he's been there for a while.

Come back to clean up your mess?

Who was he?

I said, who is it?

- Fucking nobody!
- That yours?

What's it got to do with you?

- We'll test the weapon for fingerprints.
- What's going on here?

Looks like you're under arrest.

Sugar tits.

Excuse me?

You're under arrest on suspicion of murder.

Turn around.

I said turn around.

Your friend, Grant

had a lot of nice things to say
about you, yesterday at the station

That's about right.

I can rely on grant to fuck it up.

Take him out.

You're coming with me!

Who are you?

[Mike reads Ian his rights]

You're under arrest

on suspicion of murder and
several drug trafficking charges.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention when questioned
something that you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
