How long have you known the deceased? - ANNA: This is Becky. Becky is our wonderful new nanny. Can I get your number so that I can book you again? - I've got a card. - Thank you. Ray. - Jake! Help! - How could you not see a toy in the cot? - We were so busy fucking that your baby almost strangled himself. - OK, stop. Anna is way more of a danger to them than anyone. - You didn't strap them into the back of a car and drive so fast that you could have killed them. - You've got no right to judge Becky or anyone, not when you've done 10 times worse. - (THUD!) - (GROANS) - (PANTS) She'll trip up again, and when she does, we'll be there to catch her. - Mummy won't let anybody hurt you. (BOTH LAUGH) - You're OK. - Look how fast I can go. (GIGGLES) - It's OK. (LAUGHS) Keep running around. And if you just pull that trigger... (LAUGHS) Oh, good boy. Good boy. You're OK.

Maybe he saw her and he just couldn't help himself. But no, no, no, no. They've been together for months. She was the woman that he was with back home. (SIGHS) I wasn't crazy. It was her all along. - Why didn't you confront your husband? - I have to figure out what they're planning. 'Move to Melbourne. It will be good for us. You can get your career back, hire a nanny.' Oh! It's all so deceptive. I have to be smarter than them. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) www.able.co.nz Copyright Able 2021 - Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs... - Anna. It's just Anna. - All right, Anna. Are you and your husband currently separated? - It's complicated. - Hmm. - He's a lawyer too. That's why I'd rather not give too many details. - All right. Now, you're obviously not local. - (SIGHS) We emigrated two months ago. My husband is Australian. The kids are British ` 5 and 10 months. - So dual citizens? - They're dual. I'm on a spouse visa. (SCOFFS) The move happened quickly. He said that that was the best thing for me for now. Will I be able to take the children back to the UK? - You're seeking sole custody? - Well, the courts usually favour the mother, right? - Well, it depends on the circumstances. If he remains here, you're effectively moving the children to another country. - Their home country. - He can argue that you're creating a situation in which he would not have access to` - He has created the situation. - In any case, we would need to prove that the children are better off with you and not your husband. - Our son could have died the other day under his care. - Is there a report of this incident with the police or...? - There is, yes, with the hospital. - Good. - (SIGHS) They somehow made it look like I was to blame. They? - He's fucking our nanny. - (SIGHS) - Please just tell me what I have to do. - Is there anything else that has been documented? Anything that your husband can use against you, besides what happened the other day?

Uh, can Phil afford to lose you? - Well, I think he can manage. Can you pass me the water? - Yeah, sure. You, uh, you doing OK with those? It's not some sort of reaction? - It's not these. Thank you for looking after me. (TENSE MUSIC) (DOOR CLICKS) - I don't know. She says it's some kind of stomach bug. - Mm, well, I guess it wouldn't kill you to spend a full day at work. - (CHUCKLES) You're killing me right now. - Good morning. You're not feeling well? - No. - Lots of rest. Plenty of fluids. - Make sure you eat something, OK? I'll check on you later. - (CHUCKLES) Apparently, I'm part of the family now.

You are part of the family. - (DOOR CREAKS) - (EXHALES) - (SIGHS) - Whoa. You're really not well. Here, let me do that. - No, it's OK. It's OK. I still have a few minutes till it... (TENSE MUSIC) - How did you get that? Anna? - I'm fine. - No, you're not. What happened? - (SIGHS) I guess you heard us arguing the other night. It's a wonder we didn't wake the kids up. (SIGHS) He just gets so angry. (OMINOUS MUSIC) - Sorry. Are you saying Jake did this? - Look, I'll get Oliver. You take Grace to kindy.

I know it's from your childhood, so I didn't know... - I'll get rid of it. - Uh, what you said before about Jake ` I'm not really sure that I understood. - I shouldn't be dragging you into this. (SIGHS) Years ago ` I must have been about your age ` I remember seeing this documentary about abused women, and I remember thinking to myself, 'How could anyone let that happen? 'You know, how could your self-esteem be so low? You never think it's gonna happen to you, but then admitting it and saying the words out loud to someone, (SIGHS) that's not easy either. - Yeah, but Jake? I mean, he doesn't really seem like` - Yeah, like the type? - Yeah. - For the first few years, he wasn't. Things were amazing. He made me feel like I'd never felt before. (SIGHS) I know what you're thinking. How can I stay with him? (SIGHS) He can be so charming,.. when he puts his arms around me and he tells me that he's sorry, then he leads me up to the bedroom. (SIGHS) It can be intoxicating, you know? The sex. I'm ashamed to say it, but it gets me each and every time. (GROANS) I have to be so careful around him, Becky. (TENSE MUSIC) And now that you're in the house,... I need you to be careful too. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (BIRDS CHIRP) Liam? - What are you doin'? - Hi. - Hi. - (CHUCKLES) Hi. I, um` I wasn't sure if you were done for the day. - About to go. - OK. - Aren't you missing something? About this big, cries a lot. - Yeah. No, he's up at the house. Anna didn't go into work. (BIRDS CHIRP) So, I've been thinking about what you said to me the day that I moved in. - My friendly warning, which you clearly ignored. - Yes. (CHUCKLES) And I was wanting to know a bit more about it, if that's OK. - You live with them. You probably know more than me. - Yeah, you'd think that, right? I don't know. It's like when you're in the middle of something, it's really hard to keep perspective, you know? (SIGHS) OK, so you said Anna was highly strung, but you didn't say anything about Jake. - He seems pretty laid-back, except for when he's around her. - Yeah, I know. I know. I just... I feel like there's two sides to every story. - Always. - Mm. OK, so Jake's side ` do you ever think that he could really lose it? Like, lose his temper? - Has something else happened? - No. No, I'm just... I'm just trying to figure out their situation, you know, so I can better support them. - Are you sure? - Yeah. No, it's fine. - Whatever's going on, if it's making you feel uncomfortable, you shouldn't stay. No job's worth that. - Honestly, I was just asking. I was curious. Never mind. (CHUCKLES) Also, if you don't want people going in your shed, just shut the door, mate. See ya. - Yeah. (ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY, PEOPLE CHATTER) - (SIGHS) (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Ah. Glad to see you're feeling better. - Thanks. - Hey, um, so, I don't have to tell you that these guys get a bad rap these days. Uh, everybody wants no sugar, low this, low that, and they are changing their name. - What to? - Uh, not sure. Uh, they are currently working on a new menu, but they wanna go in a healthier direction. - So you want me to design a logo for a company that doesn't know what it's gonna call itself? - (CHUCKLES) We really wanna land this account. - Mm. It sounds like a task you'd give to somebody when you have nothing else for them to do. - (CHUCKLES) - Leave it with me. - Great. Thanks. - (PHONE RINGS) (PEOPLE CHATTER) - (BIRDS CHIRP) - (GRUNTS) - (GRUNTS) - Oh, again!

(SIGHS) - Hey, uh, I think, um` I think Anna might be cottoning on. No, about the job, not about Becky. - (SIGHS) Right. Well, it won't be for much longer. - Still think it's a good idea, me keeping her on? - What choice do I have? Can't have her in the house. I'd love to divorce now, but it'll be obvious I only moved her over to get the kids here. - Is that gonna change in a couple of months? - That's the advice ` get the kids settled, show I've tried to help Anna, and I have. - Mate, I know. You've... You've got the patience of a saint. - You` You think you can come up with a few more things for her to do? Keep her occupied a while longer? - Yeah, mate. Of course I can.

(TENSE MUSIC) - Night. - Night. - Becky... What I told you, you haven't said anything to Jake, have you? - No. - Oh, good. God, he'd be so angry with me if he knew I'd been talking to you. And he's, uh` he's already in a bit of a mood. I don't wanna make him worse. Night-night. - Night. - Of course he did. - It wasn't like that. - Got straight on the phone and gave you a full report. - He's concerned about you, Anna. - Concerned? - Yes, your whole attitude, it's completely off. - Oh, and what should my attitude be? - Well,... - Please, please tell me. ...can you at least pretend to be grateful? - Grateful for what? That your old mate Phil has given me a phoney job? - It's an opportunity, and you're stuffing it up! - The way I always stuff things up? Is that it? - Oh, just pull your head in! (THUD!)

Uh, Grace couldn't run into kindy fast enough, and I just put Ollie down. - I'm not just checking in on them. I, um... I wanted to apologise for last night. I was so annoyed with Phil. Jake did his usual job of defending him. You must have heard us going at it. - Oh, no, I was pretty tired. - Well, obviously, I have some tough decisions to make, but I don't want you to feel like your future isn't important too. - Sorry? - Well, it must be playing on your mind,... being in the house while all of this is going on. - Yeah, a bit. - You` You must be thinking about Jake too? Maybe even feeling a bit scared yourself. (TENSE MUSIC) Becky? - Uh, I'm just trying to figure things out. - This shouldn't be on you. I don't want you to feel like this is a situation that you can't get out of. If you wanna quit, Becky, I will understand, OK? And if you're worried about leaving while Jake is in the house, then don't be. You know, you can just go one day while` while he's at work. You can... You can leave, and you will never have to see him again. - (BREATHES SHAKILY) - Becky? Sorry. Um,... I think I hear Ollie waking. - Just think very hard about what I have just said. (MUSIC CONTINUES) - OK. (PEOPLE CHATTER) (MUSIC FADES) (SIGHS) (TV PLAYS, CHILDREN LAUGH) - Oh, thank God for cartoons, huh? They never get old. (VEGETABLE PEELER SCRAPES) So, how was work? - Good. I apologised to Phil for being so high-maintenance. - Well, that's something. - I think we should give him another bottle of wine. He liked the Cab Sav. Would we miss that Merlot, the '99 that your cousin got us for our wedding? - The Porter Hill? It's a bit exxy, don't you think? - You did say I should be more grateful. - Did I? - Becky, would you mind nipping down to the cellar and having a look for it? I` I unpacked it, I think. - Yeah. Of course. (CARTOON PLAYS ON TV) - Why don't you go upstairs, have a bath, relax? I'll do dinner, watch the kids. - Sure. - Was it a Cab Sav or a Merlot? (EXHALES) I think it was a Merlot. A... Porter Hill Merlot. - Bec. - (CHUCKLES) This could be a lot better organised, huh? - (SIGHS) Becky. Hey, look at me. What's going on? - (SIGHS) Was it some kind of accident? - What are you talking about? - Because I know that you would never hurt anyone, not intentionally. And I just need you to tell me so that I can understand, or I can try to understand. - (SIGHS) Understand? - Anna showed me her bruise. - What the fuck? What, she said I hit her? Oh my fucking God. No way, Bec. I never laid a hand on her. - The other night in your room, you said that she fell over. - Yeah, she must have. - Yeah, but there's been other times as well, OK? - Well, how the fuck would I know what she's doing? That's why you've been weird with me? You... What, you think I'm some kind of wife-basher? - No. Well, yeah. No, I have` I've` I've been shocked, OK? And I just need to hear your side of the story. - Well, hear this. I would never hit a woman. Never. I thought` I thought you knew me better than that. - I do. - Really? Because you're looking at me like I'm some kind of monster. - Why would she lie? - Why? Because she's crazy. That's why. This is what she does. She makes shit up. She's gone and thrown herself on the floor or God knows what, and now she's got you believing it. Oh God, what if she tells the cops? I won't have a hope in hell of getting the kids. That's the way it goes these days. Wow, she's more unstable and dangerous than I thought. You see this? This is exactly why I have to get the kids away from her. - You will. Hey, we will. - Yeah, you know what, Bec, if you're having doubts` - It's the whole reason` I'm not. I'm not, OK? I'm with you. - But for you to even consider that I would do something that cowardly, that horrible, it's like you don't even know me at all. Are you with me or not? - ON MONITOR: I am. I am, OK? She's a liar. (TENSE MUSIC) (BIRDS CHIRP) - Maybe it's the meds. (SIGHS) She gets this way if she doesn't take them correctly. Just totally unpredictable. I mean, these injuries she's inflicting on herself ` we need to make sure she's not showing anyone else. - Why don't you just file for a divorce now or separate, at least? - Bec, you know we can't do that, especially not now. It's too risky. We have to keep building our case. Bec, the one thing we've got going for us is that she trusts you. - This is so messed-up. - You just need to keep taking care of Grace and Oliver, Bec. Protect them from her. Protect me. Bec? - It's not how I thought it would be. I mean, I don't know how I thought this would be, but it's not this. - We have to see this through. - Yeah, it's easier for you. You go off to work. I am here all day, and there is nothing else I can think about. - Well, just` just think about us, our future together. - Do you really believe she'll go back to the UK without the kids? She does love them. - Yeah, her love is toxic. and she is one step away from a breakdown. I've seen it before. Look, when the time is right, I'll call her family. We'll make it a joint effort, get her to check back into the clinic. Then even if she does come back to Australia, we'll have custody by then. - It's a lot. - Yeah. I tell you what ` I'll take the whole day off, drop Anna at work. Oliver can go to day care. - Yeah, but won't Anna know that? - Can't imagine Oliver's gonna tell her. Come on. We need to get back to us. - I gave her an out,... and I thought she would do the right thing, but she chose him. Neither of them have a conscience ` none whatsoever. (PEOPLE CHATTER, BIRDS CHIRP) - You need to take control of your future, like I'm taking control of mine. - I do. You're taking control? - Well, I'm too old to be doing this. I've got two little grandkids waiting for me on the other side of the Tasman. - The Tasman? - Mm. We're moving to New Zealand, back to my roots. Well, life's too short for us to be here. I'm... I'm sorry I couldn't do more. - (LAUGHS) - What's so funny? - Oh, I should be apologising to you. I'm here pouring my heart out, and I hardly know anything about you. I'm sorry. (CHUCKLES) Are you married? Do you love your wife? - Not any more. (CHUCKLES) - Oh. - Well. I'm... pretty fond of my husband. - (CHUCKLES) - We haven't made it legal yet, but, well, it's only been 30 years. Why rush? - How did you meet? - I picked him up in my taxi. - And you fell in love? - With the meter running. - Does he still make you laugh, even though he probably drives you mad sometimes? - (CHUCKLES) He does, and he does. - Treasure that, won't you? Never let that go. Promise me. - I promise. - I am not gonna let them take my children. (BOTH BREATHE HEAVILY) - What's wrong? - (SIGHS) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - You know what? (SIGHS) I've got something that'll help you relax. - Mm? And what's that? What, drugs? What are you doing? I've still gotta pick up the kids. - Yeah, it's not for hours, and it's just... just a little bump. It'll have worn off by then. Come on. Come back to me.

It must be that stomach bug that you had. - Where's Becky and Oliver? - You didn't`? You didn't see them on the way in? They just left. - Left to go where? - The park and then to, uh, pick up Grace. - Is Oliver OK? - Yeah, he's` Well, he's great. - Why`? Why are you home?

Do you know what you're doing? Has he pressured you in any way? - No. - If he has... - No, it's... It's not like that. - Really? Cos all the questions that you were asking me... - He loves me. And I love him. (GROANS) - Becky. - (GROANS, COUGHS) - Am I allowed to ask how it started? - The crisps. It was 1 in the morning. That's all that was for sale ` just one packet of crisps, so he offered to split them with me, and that's how we met. (SIGHS) Walker's bloody crisps. Oh, the things that he told me,... about how Anna treated the children. I mean, she endangered them. It was just one thing after another after another. And he knew that he had to leave her, but he had to get the kids back here before he could do it. - Was there another reason why you were asking about his temper? - No. Look, I can't get into it right now. OK? Jake has a plan for us and for her. He's gonna get her the help that she needs. (SIGHS) Can we go? - Yeah. (BIRDS CALL) (LOW, TENSE MUSIC) (CHIMES TINKLE) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) - Hi. - Hi. Hi. Was everything OK today? - Yeah. No, it was fine. - Are you sure? It's just when I got home, you and Oliver were gone. - Oh. No, I, um` I took Ollie out for a bit before we picked up Grace. Jake didn't tell you? - He did, yeah. I just wondered why you left. Was Jake the reason? You can tell me if he was. - No. (SIGHS) No, I just wanted to get out of the house. - Oh. And where'd you go? - The shops. Ollie was OK when you put him down before, wasn't he? - He was fine. - OK. - As long as you are too. - I'm all good. Oh, what you said the other day about Jake ` have you told anyone else about that? - Why do you ask? - Oh, I just wonder what other support you have. - You are the only one I trust. (SIGHS) - (SIGHS) All right, well, I... I might have a shower, unless you need me for anything. - Oh, no, no, no, no, go. - OK. (TENSE MUSIC) (MUSIC SWELLS) - (GROANS SLEEPILY) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (MUSIC SWELLS) (MUSIC FADES) (BIRDS CALL) If you wouldn't mind documenting it, mate? Just something on a letterhead showing what a complete nutter she is. You know what? Attach that fast-food task you gave her. Yes. Reckless is a great word. Righto, mate. Thanks. (SIGHS) Well? - Well, what? - When you left here, you were going to give Phil a bottle of wine. How did you go from that to telling him to fuck off? - I was angry. There's not enough work for me there. - Oh, OK, and that's how you repay him for giving you a chance? - (SIGHS) - Jesus, Anna, you going back to work was supposed to be good for your state of mind ` give you something to focus on. - Yes, Jake. - All right, yeah, great. So, now what? We've hired Becky. The kids love her. - Oh, I want her to stay on. I'll look for another job. How's that sound? - Yeah, I mean, I think it's the right move. - Maybe Phil could be persuaded to write me a reference? A favour for an old mate. Do you think he'd do that for you? - I could probably talk him into it. - Thank you. Hey, (SIGHS) do you think Becky's OK? - Oh, she's obviously picked up on the tension. - Mm. Well, I'll reassure her. She's been such a good support to me. She's a good kid, isn't she? (SIGHS) (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Come in. - Hi. - Hey. - No, no, no, don't get up. Don't get up. Oliver's fine. (SIGHS) - Has something happened? - We're all in control of our futures, right? That's what I'm doing. I'm taking control. I'm leaving Jake. (TENSE MUSIC) - When are you gonna tell him? - I can't. I can't. You know how volatile he is. I have to protect Grace and Oliver. - What do you mean? - Look, I need to set up a safe house. Do you know what I mean by that? - May` Maybe` - It's somewhere I can... I can live with the children, somewhere I can escape to. I need you to help me set it up. - Me? - And of course you can come with us. It will be furnished, but I'll need to move some personal items. We can start beforehand with` with things that he won't notice gone ` toys, uh, clothes. I need it to feel as familiar for those kids as possible. - OK, is all of this actually necessary? - I can't be too careful around him, Becky. Look, I know I'm asking a lot of you, and you don't have to give me an answer now. Just... Just think about it. (TENSE MUSIC) (BIRDS CHIRP) - (SIGHS) Hey. - Hi. You OK? - No. You'll never guess what she's asked me to do. It's way too much. - OK, calm down. What's going on? - She wants me to move the kids to a safe house, and she wants me to help her set it up for her. - Well, have you found out if she's told anyone else? The lies about me hitting her. - She says that she hasn't. - OK, good. (CHUCKLES) This could work for us. - What? How? - Well, we've been waiting for her to do something ` something big we could use against her. - OK. - If she takes the kids without my permission, if she goes as far as setting up another house for them to live in, that's abduction. We can call the police on her. - Are you sure? She could still claim that you're hitting her. - She's got no proof, and you'll be able to say she's making it up. Bec. - Yeah, I'm here. How would I prove that? - Well, you'll say you've seen her self-harm. Becky, you have to do that for me, for us. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - Of course. - OK, good. She'll have no case, but we've got a case against her. I've got all the documents ready ` hospital and police records, statements from Caroline and Phil ` but yours is gonna be the most powerful. You're the one who's been in the house. Becky? - Yeah, I'm just thinking about everything that can go wrong. - Nothing will go wrong. This is exactly what we've been waiting for. We'll prove that she's crazy once and for all. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) - Forgive the mess. One container load, and we're still unpacking. - Oh, it's a big move. - Yeah. - Thank you. - Throw in a 5-year-old and a toddler, and it is madness. Hey, I'm Jake. - Hi. Oh, I just assumed that you'd be British too. - Nope, Melbourne boy. - Oh, so you've moved the family back home. - Oh, it's all I've heard for years. Australia this, Australia that. - Yeah. We like to think we're pretty special. - And you are. No, it's, um` It's good to be here. - Thanks for sending this through. - I've been looking after kids since high school. You guys will be my fourth family. If I get the job, of course. - Most recently working for the McEwans in... Warrna... - Warrnambool. - Ah. - Cathy said she spoke to one of you? - Yeah, that was me. I may have slightly cross-examined her. - (CHUCKLES) Occupational hazard. Lawyer. - Well, you should ask questions. Looking after kids is the most important job in the world. And you must be anxious about going back to work too. - (CLEARS THROAT) I assure you, I don't take the responsibility lightly at all. - I think you should meet Grace and Oliver. (TENSE MUSIC) - (SIGHS) (OMINOUS MUSIC) - (BIRDS CHIRP) - (SIGHS) (GASPS) Did you get in OK? - Yeah. I put all the boxes in the living area, like you said. - Oh. And? - It's nice. It's cosy. - It's the best I could do at short notice and on a budget. I want you to think of it as your home too. You're not having doubts, are you? - (SIGHS) I just don't wanna let you down. - Do you think Jake has any inkling? - None at all. - Then there's nothing to worry about. (INHALES) We'll move all your stuff over tomorrow when Jake's at work. - If you think that's best. - And then Saturday we'll... make the final move. I'll make sure Jake's not home. Thank you. I won't forget what you've done for me. (TENSE MUSIC) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) I see Gracie's glued to the iPad again. - Oh, I'm listening out for them. - I think you should go to the beach house ` have a look at some of my ideas for the redecoration. - Sure. - What about Saturday? I'd like to get the designer started ASAP. I would go too, except I've promised the kids I'll take them to that Mexican street fair. Gracie's excited. She's been learning about different cultures in kindy. - Ah, it's good stuff. - And, besides, you'll be more objective without me there. You could take the sports car. It needs a run. - (INHALES) It's a hell of an idea. (PENSIVE MUSIC) (INSECTS CHIRP) SOFTLY: Hey. - How's it gonna work? On Saturday. Just... talk to me. - I'll go to the beach house, like she asked. I'll come home later. You'll all be gone. I'll wait a few hours, long enough to become worried, then I'll go to a station. THROUGH MONITOR: I'll call you, and that's when you'll say she's taken the kids. And maybe I'll put you on speaker. The police can hear the whole thing. - And what exactly will I say? - That she's stolen them. That... she's dragged you into her crazy plan. She's lost the plot. (SCOFFS) Bec, I'm not asking you to lie. This is what she's doing, right? - Yeah, but if the abuse comes up, I have to say that I've seen her self-harm. - Yes. Yes, Bec, you have to. You have to protect me from her sick games. I mean, that's what we agreed on, right? - THROUGH MONITOR: Yeah, we... (SIGHS) I'm just scared. I'm scared that something's gonna stuff up. - It's OK. (TENSE MUSIC) You look so beautiful right now. THROUGH MONITOR: You take my breath away, Bec. Same way you did the first day I saw you. - I'm going to bed. (MUSIC FADES) - You going somewhere? - Don't ask. - Not looking after the kids today? - Just... not now, OK? - Excuse me for being worried about you. - No, you're right. You're right. I'm sorry. It's really nice that you care. I'm not really sure why you do, but it's nice. (SIGHS) - I'm a nice guy. (CHUCKLES) (BIRDS CHIRP) - WHISPERS: You are a nice guy. (SIGHS) Oh, sorry. - It's all right. - (BREATHES SHAKILY) - You said he's got a plan? Jake? (PENSIVE MUSIC) - Yeah. (SNIFFLES) (SIGHS) It's like... Like, one minute, I think that everything's gonna be fine. And then the next minute, it's like the most messed-up thing ever. - What category does the red rope fall into? - Mm. Oh, he's got a kinky side. - I figured that. Are you cool with it? - I was in the beginning. It might've gone a bit far lately. - The 'tying you up' part or getting you wasted when you should be looking after the kids? - Both. - It seems to me like he's got all the power. - No. - And maybe you're in over your head. - It's not like that. - Then why are you going along with it? If you're so unhappy, the least you can do is just move out. - I can't. - Get your own place. - No, it's` It's not really an option for me. - Because he won't let you? No, because... (SIGHS) I don't have anywhere else to go. (BREATHES SHAKILY) (SOMBRE MUSIC) (SNIFFLES, SIGHS) Sorry. Sorry. Oh. (MUSIC CONTINUES) - (SIGHS) Whatever his plan is,... it's only gonna get messier. He's always going to have a wife or an ex-wife. - (SNIFFLES) I know. - And if he doesn't respect you now what he's doing to Anna ` how do you know he's not gonna do that to you too? (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC FADES) - (GROANS) - Ow! Hey! - Don't sneak up on me like that. - The door was open. - (SIGHS) What are you even doing here? - Wanted to see it for myself. Boy, she's really got you slumming it, huh? - It's not funny. - It's a little bit funny. - It's not. I've had to unpack all of my things. You've got me pretending like I'm gonna be living here as well. Do I even unpack? You know, what if I don't and she checks, and then she knows I'm not on side? Because she will. - You might be overthinking it, Bec. - Am I? I don't... I don't feel like I am. - (SIGHS) - How do I know this is all gonna work out for me? - Bec, we've been through` - Do you respect me? - Wow. (SCOFFS) Where is`? Where is that coming from? - I need to know that I am not just the nanny who gave you a good time or the girl who helped you get rid of your wife. - Stop. (CHUCKLES) Close your eyes. - Jake, I` - Bec, just` just` Come on. Close your eyes, please? WHISPERS: Go on, you can do it. - OK. - Thank you. Well, this is definitely not the way I planned it, but here we go. I want you to imagine a tropical beach ` white sand, crystal blue water, our favourite crisps flown in from the other side of the world. OK, open them. I've been carrying it around, trying to find the right moment. I guess now is as good as any. I don't want you to ever doubt my love for you, Bec, and my respect. - Are you serious? - Very serious. Very serious. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. As soon as we can, I want you to be my wife. So, Becky Hart,... will you marry me or what? - (CHUCKLES) Yes. - Thank God for that. - (GIGGLES) (PENSIVE MUSIC) (BIRDS WARBLE) A flying lemon? - No. - (BABBLES) - A piece of cheese? - No. - Well, I` I give up. - It's a bumblebee. - Oh. I (BUZZES) see him now. - (BUZZES) Oop, he's on your nose! - Daddy! - Oop! (BUZZES) Ugh, he's on me now! - Daddy! - Hold still. He's gone behind your ear. Don't move. See? It was a piece of cheese. - (BABBLES) - Still on for the Mexican festival? - Yeah. You still good for the beach house? - Looking forward to it. - (BABBLES) (TENSE MUSIC) (INSECTS CHIRP) - (SIGHS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (SIGHS) (PHONE KEYPAD CLICKS) (MUSIC SWELLS) (CELLPHONE VIBRATES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (SEAT CLICKS) (MUSIC SWELLS) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (MUSIC SWELLS, FADES) Have a look at the Pinterest boards ` see what I'm thinking for each room. - Sure. (REVS ENGINE) Have fun at the festival. - Are you clocking off? - Got my cousin's wedding, remember? - Oh, that's right. Enjoy. (SIGHS) Hey. Uh, there's a slight change of plan. I want you to wait a little while and then go after him. - Why? - Just tell him that I forgot to give him the paint charts. I` I've got some inside. - Why do you want me to do that? Because it's gonna take me a while to pack. I don't want him to come back before I'm done. To keep him occupied until, say, 2pm, challenge my ideas, do whatever and then meet me at the apartment. Can you do that for me, Becky? Please? Thank you. I'll go and get the paint charts. - (EXHALES) - What's going on? - (SIGHS) Nothing. (SIGHS) It'll all be over soon. (BIRDS CHIRP) - Be honest with yourself. If it's not all right, all you have to do is say the words, 'It's not all right.' - (SIGHS) Hello? Jake? Hello? - (GLASS CLINKS) Hi. (CHUCKLES) - Couldn't resist. - Mm. - If she's gonna force you to drive down here, we should at least take advantage of it. - Well, she is paranoid about you busting her. - Ah, she's unravelling, like I knew she would. - (CHUCKLES) - How were the kids? - Oblivious to it all, I think. - Mm. Thank God they'll be away from her soon. - No. No, I shouldn't. - It's hours until you have to meet her. - No, I've still gotta get all the way across town. - Just one glass. We haven't officially celebrated our engagement yet. - (SNORTS) OK. (CHUCKLES) - Did you bring it? - I did. - Oh. (EXHALES) That looks good on you, Mrs Fallmont. - Hey! Who said I'm changing my name? - Oh. - Hmm? - My bad. - (LAUGHS) - But for now, let's, um` let's pretend it's, what do you reckon, six months from now? - Mm. - We're in our beach house, designed to your specifications. - Sure. - (CHUCKLES) And the only thing we have to do is be together. - OK. - Thanks for coming over. - Oh, it was nice to hear from you. - Grace is so excited about the fair. I can't believe I double-booked myself. You know, she wants to see all of the performances. (SIGHS) - (CHUCKLES) - And, of course, I wanted to see you one last time, before you move to Auckland. - I've been wondering how you were. - I'm good. Taking control of my future, like you told me to. Hmm. - This'll be good practice for those grandkids of yours. - You will be joining us later? - Absolutely. Hey, little Grace. This is Ray. He's been a very good friend to Mummy. - Hello. - (OLIVER CRIES) - Hello, Grace. - Oh, I have put him down. - It's all right. - I've packed an extra bottle just in case you need it. WHISPERS: Hey, hey. Now, listen, remember our deal? You be a good girl for Ray, and I am gonna come and meet you very soon, OK? (BOTH BREATHE HEAVILY) - (SIGHS) Fuck, I've missed this. - (CHUCKLES) Me too. - I'll get us a top-up. - Ah, no. No, no, no. I shouldn't. - (CHUCKLES) (EXHALES) Fuck, you are so hot. Mmm. Don't move. - (SIGHS) (GROANS) (EERIE MUSIC) (OMINOUS MUSIC) What are you doing? - Oh, it's just a` just a little bump. - What the fuck are you doing? - I'm` I'm helping you relax. - No. I have to go and meet your wife. I have to go and convince the police that she's abducted your kids. - Which she is. - I have to keep my head about me, and you're fucking drugging me! - Christ! - I can't do this. - You're making too much of this! - I don't think so! (GRUNTS) - No! No. - No! Don't touch me! - No! - (CRIES) - Bec, I wanna fuck you! - No! - (GRUNTS) - (CRIES) - Calm down! - (GRUNTS) You're hurting me! You're...

I left early, but, um... but Jake was still there. - OK. Sit tight. - Anna? - Goodbye, Becky. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (MUSIC FADES) (SNIFFS) Have you had a good day? You remember our little secret? - We don't tell anyone about Ray. - Good girl. (CHUCKLES) Now we get to eat all of these. - Thanks, Marge. You're a gem. I'm sure everything's fine, but if you could double-check. There you are. - Hello. - Hello, my darling. - You didn't have to come all the way over. - Any excuse to see my grandchildren, and you did sound worried. - (SIGHS) Strange, isn't it? I mean, he always picks up his phone. - Well, that was the neighbour. She was knocking on his front door. I'm sure she'll call us back. - And then I will feel very stupid for making so much fuss, no doubt. - So, what's all this? - Oh, Becky's out. Uh, I took the children to the fair. - You drove? - Well, it was close by. And it was time. Oliver's napping. - (CELLPHONE RINGS) - Sensory overload. - This is Marge now. Hello, dear. Does my son have a good explanation for giving his wife a scare? (TENSE MUSIC) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (TENSE MUSIC) - (RADIO) MAN: Yeah, copy. - It must have been some kind of robbery. - MAN: Well, there was no sign of forced entry. - Well, of course not. My son was there. He must have opened the door to whoever did this ` somebody connected to his business. I always said it was a dangerous one. I said it. I did. - Did your husband plan to meet anyone at the beach house? - Um, no. - Well, there was a bottle of champagne and two glasses. Any idea who he met with? - You're asking me do I know if my husband was having an affair? - Oh, Anna! - Well, this wasn't a robbery that went wrong. It wasn't a thief that poured him a drink and handcuffed him and tossed him into a pool! That is what you're saying, isn't it? - Well, there was also evidence of drugs at the scene. - Drugs? - Forensics will tell us more, but, yeah. - Uh, the security camera footage just came through. There were two angles. I'm wondering if you recognise this person? - (GASPS) Oh my God. - (GASPS) - Oh my God. Come on. Gracie, let's go. We'll go downstairs. - We're tracking the plates. - GRACE: Mummy! - Come on, Gracie. - Mummy! - Anna, we're gonna need to ask you some more questions. - Thanks. - Grace? Grace. She keeps asking for Mummy. What do I tell her? What can I possibly say? I thought things would be better with someone in the house. How did it come to this? (POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (TENSE MUSIC) - VOICEMAIL: You have one new message. - BECKY: It's not all right. (PANTS) It's not all right. (BREATHES HEAVILY) - You know the family?

We're here about his death. (OMINOUS MUSIC) - (BREATHES SHAKILY) (LIGHTS BUZZ SOFTLY) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) (DOOR OPENS) (PEOPLE MURMUR, RADIO CHATTER) - Where's Anna? - Hello, Becky. I'm Senior Detective Taormina. - I really need to speak with her. Does she know that Jake's...? - (MACHINE BEEPS) - Interview commences 9.15pm. I just have to confirm that you've waived your right to a lawyer. - No, I don't need a lawyer. I just need to know what happened. Did he take more drugs? - (SIGHS) Becky, how long have you known the deceased? - Six, seven months? Yeah. - (PAPER RUSTLES, PEN SCRATCHES) - So, you met before he and his wife moved to Australia? I need you to respond verbally. - Yes. We... We met in London. - And how would you describe the nature of your relationship? (WRITES) - We were in love. - So you were having an affair? - Yep. Yeah, he... Yeah. - Did his wife, Anna, have any knowledge of this relationship? - No. - Becky, what were you doing at the beach house today? (SOMBRE MUSIC) Becky? - I think that we should wait, and we should talk about this with Anna in the room. - We're interviewing Mrs Fallmont. - So, you know about the abuse? - Jake was abusing you? - No. Well, yes, but I'm talking about the way that he was hurting her. She's told you, right? - Jake would never lay a finger on me. (TENSE MUSIC) My marriage wasn't perfect. Clearly, it wasn't. - Any idea why Becky would say that? - No. - She also claims that you asked her to set up an apartment, like a safe house. - A safe what? - That you were preparing to take the kids there, that you asked her to keep Jake occupied. - I'm sorry? (SCOFFS) I'm sorry? She's suggesting I instructed her to have sex with my husband while I move into an apartment that I've never heard of? How many drugs did they take? - Just to be clear, you were helping Anna or Jake? - Well, Jake, initially. He said that Anna was lying about the abuse, and he convinced me. - So why were you helping Anna to set up the apartment? - Jake had this idea... that he could use it against her and say that she was kidnapping the kids. - So you could be together? - I'm not proud of it. And I should've put a stop to it before today. - Becky, you told Officer Garrison that you caught Jake spiking your drink with GHB. - Yeah. I was furious. And then he grabbed me here. It's like he was possessed, like a completely different person just switched in. You know, and then I started thinking, 'Maybe Anna's telling the truth. Maybe Jake is dangerous.' - You made a phone call within a minute of leaving the beach house. In that message, you repeated, 'It's not all right. It's not all right.' What did you mean? - That it wasn't. (PENSIVE MUSIC) - LIAM: I think she was just caught in a bad situation. - Mm. What did she tell you about the relationship? - I had to drag it out of her, but she wasn't cool with the drugs or the sex. - The sex? - He was into kinky stuff, tying her up. - Right. Did you get the impression that she was scared of him? Liam? - She did once ask if I thought he could be violent. - You said you saw her this morning before she left the house. Did she say anything then? - Just that... it would all be over soon. - I was referring to Jake's plan, which I was obviously having doubts about. - She is a pathological liar. She comes into my home and seduces my husband! You can't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. - Becky, we contacted the owner of the apartment. It was an Airbnb in Jake's name. - That doesn't make any sense. - We were about to redecorate the beach house. I guess he couldn't take her there any more. Maybe they needed somewhere else to go. - Look, she was gonna live there. I moved all of her things. You can check the boxes. They're there. - What boxes? - Anna can clear all of this up. OK? All of it. You've gotta let me see her. Please. (TENSE MUSIC) (MAGPIES WARBLE) (EERIE MUSIC) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) - Anna. - Hi. - I'm sorry. I knew they were together. - She told you? - Not exactly. I figured it out. - Um, did Becky say anything to you about me? About our conversations? - Not much. - (SIGHS) The thing is ` I could have stopped this if I came forward sooner. - How? - I hate telling you, but you're gonna find out anyway. - What are you trying to say? - The way I knew they were together ` it was the GHB. It was mine. (SIGHS) I know. It was only for my own use. Jake busted me storing it in the shed. He said I could keep doing it if I gave him some. The other day, I saw Becky and she was really out of it. I put two and two together. I made the connection. - I see. - I knew she was in over her head. I told her to leave him. I think that's what she finally did yesterday. - Are you suggesting that she planned this? - Maybe. - Have you told that to the police? - I liked Becky, but I couldn't have that on my conscience. I'm so, so sorry. - Thank you, Liam. (BIRDS CHIRP, MAGPIE WARBLES) (TENSE MUSIC) (SIGHS) (EXHALES) (MAGPIE WARBLES) (SIGHS) (PEOPLE MURMUR) - Why am I still here? Why can't I talk to Anna? I just` I really need to speak to her. - Interview recommences at 7.15am. - (EXHALES) - Becky, does that ring belong to you? - It did. - Forensics recovered traces of Jake's blood on the stone. - Yeah. It scratched him, and he was bleeding. - Why didn't you tell us this earlier? I don't` I don't fucking know. I... (SIGHS) I don't understand what it has to do with anything. - If it was in self-defence, it would be in your best interests to tell us that now. - What, do you think I'm some kind of suspect? Is that why you won't let me leave? - (CLEARS THROAT) - Jake died after drowning, after an overdose of GHB. - He was wearing these. (TENSE MUSIC) - (GASPS) I don't understand. - Well, you admitted to arguing. Did it get out of hand? Did the sex go too far? - Yeah. No, it did, but we didn't even bring these with us. - Did this come off your wrist when you pushed him into the pool? (EERIE MUSIC) - No. - Did you panic? Did you go to the family home to pick up your things? - No. - Did you then continue on to the apartment to gather up the rest of your belongings? - I told you. I, um` I went to meet Anna. - When the officers got there, you were in the process of leaving, Becky. Where were you going? - (SIGHS) I don't know. I... I didn't have a plan. - Well, Anna denies ever saying that Jake was abusive or of asking you to help her to leave him. - But she did. - She also... - She did. - She also denies any knowledge of an apartment. This is what we found in the boxes. We also found items hidden in your bedroom at the family home, purchased at the same online shop. - Yeah, well, Jake... Jake bought them for us, but I` I've never seen these before. (SIGHS) - Did you want out of the relationship, Becky? Well, if you tell the truth, we might be able to reduce the charges. - What are you talking about? (TENSE MUSIC BUILDS) (BREATHES SHAKILY) OK. No, no, no. You... You have to listen to me, OK? You have to listen to me. She's done this. She's set this up and... Anna has... Anna has set this up, OK?

(GASPS) This one. That's it. Cuppa? - Um, that'd be lovely. Thanks. (CLEARS THROAT) - I thought you were going to stop looking at those things. (CLICKS TONGUE) - I think I have to see her. (DOOR BUZZES, UNLOCKS) - (PEOPLE MURMUR IN DISTANCE) - (EXHALES) (DOOR SHUTS) (VOICES ECHO OUTSIDE) - Well, I'm surprised you came,... when you couldn't even look me in the eye in court. Not once. - I think you can understand my focus had to be on the children. - Oh yeah. Oh, your children ` the children whose father you took away from them. - Would you rather they'd lost their mother? - I'd rather that I wasn't in here serving time for something you did. (CHUCKLES) (DOOR BUZZES) - Did you know that Jake was tampering with my medication? I only realised when I was throwing it out. He was mixing three different kinds together, and for all I knew, he was doing it back in London too. He wanted to drive me crazy, Becky. I think we can both agree ` he succeeded. - So that's your justification for framing me? Hmm? - (SIGHS) We all thought it would be deemed an accident. (SIGHS) Liam's evidence really changed things, established your intent. - My intent? - Your motive. Throw in a prosecutor looking to make a name for themselves... - OK, so you wanna blame this on Liam and the prosecutor? (SCOFFS) Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night. Jesus Christ. - Do you know? Wh... - (DOOR CLICKS) When you came into my home,... (SIGHS) I felt so, uh, relieved. I finally had someone to talk to. - I'm not proud of the way I behaved. - And yet you still chose to sleep with my husband. - I figured out that he wasn't a good guy, OK? I was going to do the right thing in the end. - (SCOFFS) - You do realise that, don't you? - I only have your word for that, Becky. - (SIGHS) - It didn't have to end like this. - OK, look, just one more thing ` your bruises. I know that he was capable, but did he really hurt you? (TENSE MUSIC) - Abuse comes in many different forms. Whether it's physical or psychological, it is just as bad. No woman should ever stand for that. Now, five years is a long time,... but it is nothing compared to a lifetime with Jake. And we're both free of that now. (SIGHS) (PENSIVE MUSIC) (DOOR BUZZES, UNLOCKS) (LIGHTS WHIRR) - (SIGHS) (DOOR SHUTS, CLANGS) (TENSE MUSIC) How well do you really know a person? The person you lie beside every night.

(BIRDS CHIRP) - Or do you realise when it's too late... (TENSE MUSIC) ...and everything you hold dear has been taken away from you?
