01x05 - Curtis

[bunniefuu]

You'll never know what it feels like

to look in the mirror

and wish it was somebody else.

Somebody who other people didn't

want to beat, or k*ll, or bury alive.

Somebody with a wife, kids.

Normal.

Somebody who hears

a song about k*lling a h*m*

and don't think it's about him.

Somebody who don't watch his back

on an empty street.

Who fixes his lisp

by biting his tongue.

Who corrects his limp wrist

by nearly breaking it.

Who talks about f*cking women

until even he believes it.

Who walks and talks

like a real man.

People ask for a girlfriend,

I say "What, only one?"

They call me a stud.

Nobody tell you that

being normal is f*cking hard.

Just get them to stop seeing you

and you're fine.

And nobody saw me.

Nobody but you, Millie.

My desk.

Didn't know they were assigned.

So you just colonize it.

Detective Millie Black.

Curtis Hamilton.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's the Bernell case.

It's been updated with the coroner's

report and the time of death -

Thank you, Daniel.

And when I asked how you knew,

you said I looked like

I have something to hide.

Something to lose.

I wake up every morning asking

if this is the day I lose everything.

The day it's all ripped to pieces.

Where're you staying in the UK?

156 Leathwell Road, Lewisham.

With Martisha Wilson.

- Relative?

- Yes.

- Daphne?

- Yeah.

- Hi, I'm Kyle.

- Hi.

- Let me help you with that.

- Okay.

I'll be your driver.

I hope you packed sun cream.

You two are gonna get along like a

house on fire. Am I right, G?

I just have to pick up

a few more of your crew.

I'll be right back.

Everyone have a good flight?

Right, just give me your bags

and then jump in.

You tell me once that

by the time you reach 12,

you already lost everything.

Nothing to lose make you reckless.

And good police.

Let's go, everybody out.

And I think that as long

as I don't get too close to the fire,

I might even become

a better cop working with you.

Instead you burn everything down.

These are for you.

Go on, that's yours.

Drinks.

On the house.

Send the first one in.

You. Come on.

Passport.

Make us a cup of tea.

Miss Val say she have one family

waiting for me in Buckinghamshire.

Me gonna be nanny for the children.

That job's gone.

We've found something else for you.

So you don't fall behind

with your debt.

Already owe us 6K

for getting you here.

But Miss Val say -

I don't give a f*ck

what Miss Val says.

Sit down.

You're here now

and it's about what I say.

Anything else you want us

to keep safe for you?

Phone?

I sold it.

Well, we can let Samuel and George

know that you've arrived safely.

That's your boys' names, innit?

As long as you do what I say,

you don't need to worry about them.

Okay, f*ck off.

Sorry.

Pia?

Pia?

Pia?

Hey. Pia?

Anybody else here from Jamaica?

1270 Hanway Road, E12.

810 Blackthorn Close, E15.

53 Nessfield Street, E11.

Stennet.

It's my job on the line, so yes.

Hey.

Why the hell you don't

return my calls?

I'm not much use on these pain meds.

Where's Black?

She never brought in the Fenton girl

and no one's seen her

since the harbor.

I have no idea.

Yeah? You two're bench and batty.

Maybe she's giving me

space to recuperate.

The last time I heard from her,

I came straight to you.

Or was it somebody else

who sh**t Freddie Somerville?

You did the right thing.

As soon as you hear from her,

you phone it straight in to us.

Super?

And if Black don't do

the right thing soon,

it might be more

than just her career done.

I'd hate to lose

any more good detectives.

Understand me?

Aye.

Everybody out.

Go on.

This stop is twelve floors.

You've got two hours.

No talking. No bullshit.

Just spick and span.

You Jamaican

or you just stealing our tunes?

We've met?

Here?

No, me just arrive.

But you look familiar.

Jamrock then.

Leon, them call me, Leon Douglas.

It's an uncle you remind me of.

Him sound like a handsome fella.

You good?

Everything kriss. You?

Keep your head down. It gets easier.

Did anybody else

come through three weeks ago?

Another Jamaican woman? Pia?

Or a nine-year-old boy?

Romeo? He arrived same time.

What pickney goin' do here?

But I know that they came.

Lindo?

Ahmed?

Ahmed? What you want with him?

You know Ahmed?

Too well. He ran the building site

I used to work at till

Can't do much damage

with a mop now, can I?

One good thing.

At least here, it never gets cold.

And I get to hear you humming.

Where is this building site?

Near Gants Hill Roundabout.

So that's only, what, twenty

minutes away?

I think you say you just arrive?

Hey. You're not in m*therf*cking

Africa anymore.

Get back to work. Move.

This come out of your pay.

Lazy b*tch.

f*ck it.

I'll be two seconds.

- Hey, you seen Ahmed?

- No.

Seen Ahmed?

Hi, have you seen Ahmed? Ahmed?

Hi, excuse me. You know Ahmed?

You know Ahmed? You seen Ahmed?

No, no no no.

You're lying. You're lying.

No, I'm not lying.

Yeah listen. No trouble. Look.

Look, look, look

I don't want to make your life hell.

But I will. Okay?

See that Toyota there?

My colleagues

can't wait to arrest you.

Your next f*g break you have

will be at Brook House.

Have you heard of it?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah of course you have.

Immigration removal center.

Or you answer my questions and

get rid of me in a minute.

Is that Ahmed there?

Nobody see Ahmed for a while.

Okay, well is he working

at another site?

If he work other site,

why everyone look for him?

Fine, do you remember

when you last saw him?

A couple of weeks ago

he not show up. Big fuss.

You don't know where he is.

Not at all.

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

Thank you.

Janet's dead.

You're gonna to have to get Corsica

and his Bombers

to deal with Black, alright?

If I don't go home

now that Freddie's dead,

the Yard's going to get

a bit f*cking suspicious.

Are you threatening me?

I just took a knife in the back

mopping up

after your f*cking brain trust.

Where the hell you been?

Met business.

Have you found Black

and the Fenton girl yet?

No, the team is more focused

on finding the rest of the Bombers.

And Black's partner is saying

that he hasn't seen her.

Yeah, I mean that's what he says.

She sucks her partners in,

manipulates them.

f*ck knows how, but it's

exactly what happened in London.

I'll call you later.

Meera. It's Millie.

What the f*ck are you doing here?

Long story.

Jesus, Millie. On your own?

That's the stupidest thing

I ever heard.

What were the JPF thinking?

Sanguis Meridian

are f*cking ruthless.

They're thinking that these parents

are never going to see

their son again

and that the boy is going to die

thinking that everyone abandoned

him in a f*cking hideous world.

It's not the Wild West.

There are protocols,

not to mention teams of people

who work on this stuff.

And are they as kosher as Holborn?

He f*cked our whole case. It's hard

for the JPF to know who to trust.

I don't trust anyone.

And even the good guys over here

don't have anything on Romeo.

And what have you got?

Ahmed.

He was the one that told Freddie

Somerville that Lindo had Romeo.

And he's gone to ground now but -

Ahmed Adala.

Sanguis lieutenant

in charge of taking

and placing the orders for labor.

Yeah, I looked into everything the

Met's got on Sanguis for you.

Ahmed's body was found a week ago,

washed up on the Isle of Sheppy,

beaten to a pulp.

f*ck.

There was someone

arrested for his m*rder.

Nico Danvers,

he's got a load of previous,

uncorroborated Sanguis affiliations.

He's awaiting trial in Belmarsh.

Okay great, yeah, let's go see him.

There's no way

I can get you in there.

Not unless the JPF put in a request.

Okay.

Well, I do have this.

It's a list of addresses that

I got off my handler's SatNav.

Romeo and Pia weren't

at the sh*thole that I was at.

But maybe they're at one of those.

We should check them out.

Alright, you can borrow

some of my clothes.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Is there any news on Holborn at all?

No. Nothing.

Take it slow, baby.

Stop fussing. The fresh air is nice.

You can get me a bun, please?

Okay. You want something to drink?

A Coke. And a smile?

Oh shut up.

Hey Delroy.

Hello?

Curtis, I need you to make sure that

Daphne and her family are safe.

If there's ever a time

they're in danger, it's now.

Are you there?

Raas, give me a moment

to think how I feel

about the fact that you're alive.

I'm fine. I found my old partner.

She doesn't know I'm here

without JPF's blessing,

but she's still useful.

You hear yourself?

Using your friend.

Lying to her and yourself.

You have no g*n, no badge, no ID

I know a forger in Hackney.

I'll track him down.

What about Bis? She okay?

Nobody in the Gully

catch sight of her.

And home?

You serious?

JPF have eyes on your house.

I don't tell them where you are,

but they're not idiots, Millie.

No, I'm the idiot because

now I might lose my job.

I'm close, Curtis. I just need you

to hold them off a little longer.

Once I find Romeo, I will talk to

Barracat, look after you. I promise.

Says the woman

who only looks after herself.

So you do know where she is.

Don't even think of lying to my face.

Why you protecting her?

I'm not

Now that Holborn turn up, they're

going to find her soon enough.

Where they find him?

He called Stennet.

Who did?

Holborn.

Wait, he's alive?

Why wouldn't he be?

I don't know, I just

f*ck.

sh*t. That's Pia.

That's her.

I recognize her

from her passport photo.

Just keep doing what

you're doing okay, don't react.

Me and my friend are police officers

and we're going to get you

out of here, okay?

Please keep doing my nails.

I don't want to

cause you any trouble.

But I need to know where Romeo is.

Everything alright, ladies?

Yeah. So far so good.

Did this place have another name?

Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

It was Aspirationail.

Till we took it over.

Do you have any organic polish?

Romeo. You flew in with him.

Then what?

Look, I'm not going

without an answer, so

Them drop me here.

What about him?

Him go on.

In the minibus with Kyle?

Cheekbones, big smile?

If you're not 100% happy,

let me know,

and I'll get one of the more

experienced technicians to take over.

Bliss is a trainee.

No, she's doing great.

We'll come back

and we'll get you out, okay?

Don't.

They'll go after my family.

Ready? Yeah, almost.

So, what's the next address?

If he was the last one

on the minibus.

The rat trap they brought me to,

but Romeo was never there.

He got handed somewhere

not on the f*cking list.

I've got to run an errand in Hackney.

It's personal.

Drop me at the overground?

You got two hours, Gayle

You look like sh*t, Gayle.

Who are you really?

Who sent you?

What do you have against Ahmed Adala?

Never heard of him.

Well that's not true.

I mean you must be sick

of his name already,

and you haven't even

got to trial yet.

Who asked you to do it?

Do I look like I take orders?

Just because you're

somebody's b*tch

The thing is I already know

whose b*tch you are, Nico.

Lindo's.

Millie Black.

How do you know my name?

How the f*ck do you know my name?

Listen. Can you hear that?

Sounds like

a little boy screaming for his mum.

Are you Lindo?

Are you Lindo?

Where is he? Where is Romeo?

Listen. If anything happens

to that kid and I mean anything,

I don't care if you're in Belmarsh,

Old Bailey, or Brazil

I will hunt you down

and take your f*cking bollocks off.

Alright, alright, alright.

Let's go.

Come on.

Visit's over.

Keep walking.

f*ck's sake, Millie.

I can't trust you

for a f*cking second.

I made a breakthrough.

I think he's Lindo, Meera.

He knew who I was. Everything.

I don't give a sh*t, Millie.

Using my login to

interfere in an active case?

What, did you think

I wouldn't find out?

We've got to go in. See my governor.

Your boss is going to have

to eat some serious sh*t

to square it all with mine.

The JPF don't know I'm here.

Oh my god.

You don't change.

You know what really f*ck me off?

Is I haven't changed either.

I'm still falling for your bullshit.

You disappear without a goodbye.

I don't hear from you

for over a year.

And then you show up at my door

and lie to my f*cking face.

I'm sorry.

More bullshit.

It's been hard, Millie.

Getting back on track, after Victor.

We did everything right. We just

didn't get there in time.

You're not the only one who has to

carry that with you.

We could have been there for each

other, Millie. Like normal partners.

I could have helped you

with this case. Instead,

I've got to report you.

Or you could just not tell anyone

that I came back here

and give me a head start.

Victor haunts me, Meera.

Time is running out for Romeo.

What you still doing here then?

Thank you.

You can see yourself out.

Truth is, you didn't lose everything.

You threw away

more than you ever lost.

I don't think you can

even tell the difference.

Hey, I just want to talk.

Hear me out.

Just stop.

Stop.

f*cking hell, Black.

I'm not trying to k*ll you.

I need your help.

You think I give a f*ck

what you need?

No, but you want Romeo.

- Where is he?

- I don't know.

- But you do know about Lindo.

- I don't.

Bullshit. You m*rder a school girl,

you best know the who and why.

I didn't plan on

k*lling anyone, Millie.

Don't act like she'll be the last.

No. There was supposed to be one more.

But k*lling you won't end this.

And now

they're threatening my family.

There's only one way out

for both of us.

There's no getting Romeo

without ending Lindo.

What did you find in Belmarsh?

She knows you're here.

We don't have much time.

What makes you think Lindo's a she?

What the f*ck man? I'm police, man.

Don't move - Down - Hands up.

I said I'm police.

Please, please, please.

Turn around.

What the f*ck.

Where's your partner?

What the f*ck Stennet?

All of this because

she break protocol?

Bredda,

protocol breach yesterday.

Is m*rder now.

Let's go.

Please. Curtis.

Hellshire fisherman haul

Janet Fenton's body

from Kingston Harbour

in the morning catch.

You think I know something

about that Stennet?

I think

if Black had followed protocol

and brought Janet in

like she was supposed to,

she'd be alive.

I also think,

that when your whole life

is one secret,

you chat nothing but lies.

Daniel

don't disappoint us.

I want to speak

to the Superintendent.

Barracat not about to save you, or

your boyfriend.

Talk up, boy.

You were right that

I had something to lose.

Someone.

I still can't believe

I risked everything

just to take a b*llet meant for you.

You know as soon

as we find Romeo

I am arresting you

for Janet's m*rder.

Yeah, well, one thing at a time.

How did Lindo get to you?

About six months ago, she presented

herself as an informant.

She knew I ran a task force,

scored some wins

against the Tottenham gangs.

Was open to opportunities.

She knew you were dirty.

She offered me the chance

to take down Sanguis Meridian,

and make a little

money along the way.

I'll bet. In that order.

So, Sanguis and Lindo are rivals?

No. More like affiliates.

A few weeks ago

she asked me to track down

a Sanguis soldier

who had crossed her.

Ahmed.

Lieutenant in charge of labor.

He was the link between

Sanguis and the Somervilles

for trafficking people

out of Jamaica.

Pretty smooth little operation.

Until Romeo.

Sanguis never dealt in kids.

So Lindo saw an untapped market,

but Ahmed ran his mouth

and Freddie drew a line.

Yeah, he called the Met.

Told me what Ahmed told him.

I tracked down Ahmed,

and then I flew to Kingston to make

sure the leak stopped with Freddie.

You know, when

I left Belmarsh yesterday

I felt pretty certain

I'd just met Lindo.

- Nico Danvers?

- Yes.

There's definitely a connection.

Nico was in the same prison wing

as a Jamaican named Corsica.

He was deported

after serving his time.

Given a mission

to put together a crew.

The Bombers.

f*ck.

So Nico Danvers works for Lindo.

There'll be a common thread.

It's Ahmed.

She sent you to track him down;

Nico's in prison for his m*rder.

Well, the dead can't talk.

Well, next of kin can.

Your unit have a file on Ahmed?

Finally put her down.

Colic.

Ever heard of Sanguis Meridian?

Everyone who lives here knows -

How about Lindo?

Someone that we know

that Ahmed associated with -

Nico Danvers?

I told the police everything.

But you didn't tell them

about Gants Hill.

The construction site where

they were trafficking people.

He went there every day.

I went there myself.

Saw Ahmed's whole operation.

Dream homes built on nightmares.

I don't know anything about his work.

Sorry, excuse me a second.

Hi, did you follow up

on those addresses?

Great, send me a list

of the property owners.

Since he is gone, she won't stop.

Well, she gave us f*cking nothing.

Alright, we need to

pick up Kyle, the driver.

I know his route.

That's him.

f*ck.

This is the nail salon where Pia was.

It's closed up.

We know what you do here.

Got the full corporate tour.

sl*very was outlawed

centuries ago, love.

Where is Romeo Lawrence?

And where are the girls

who work here?

I preferred you as Daphne, b*tch.

You smug little prick,

I will f*ck you up.

The girls are back at the flat.

They've been reassigned.

- Where's the boy?

- I don't know.

Ahmed Adala's your mate, right?

Yeah, we know all about

his little side hustle.

Kids are not really Sanguis' kind of

product, but Ahmed knew better.

Then they pulled him out

of the river mud.

So what do you think Sanguis will do

when they find out

you're Ahmed's runner?

No, come on. I f*cking swear.

Swear to the f*cking gangsters under

the knife when they pin you down.

- I was just pick up, drop off.

- Dropped where?

Right here. Outside.

That's a lie. You stayed

in the minibus, you both did.

Where is the boy?

I brought him around the back,

out of sight.

He got out, into this car.

What kind? Who was driving?

I didn't see.

What about the destination

or the buyer?

What?

He's not going to

f*cking Disneyland, Kyle.

A f*cking pedophile.

Where is Lindo?

What?

What about Nico Danvers?

Did he bring Romeo here?

Who is he to Lindo?

There is no Lindo, man.

So, who has the boy?

He's gone, alright?

Who, Kyle?

Who is selling him? And how?

You better get me in protection.

Are you taking

the f*cking piss out of me?

Give us something worth

protecting, you piece of sh*t.

Lindo is the alias they're using

to sell that kid online.

Online?

Get the hell off me.

Hold him overnight.

If this is where

they did the handoff,

then whoever runs this place

must be trusted by Lindo.

Natalie Halliday.

I'm guessing this is

the manager I saw yesterday.

She's just a kid basically.

Is there any files on her?

Age roughly?

Twenties?

Black.

Yeah.

I mean it's pretty clean.

Couple of minors,

stabbing incident in 2009.

Implicated via joint-enterprise.

Wasn't even holding the knife.

Nothing in the last 10 years.

Doesn't look like anyone.

Well, maybe that's the point.

Multiple foster parents,

'97 to '05

sh*t.

Last foster parents surname,

Halliday.

She took their name.

Are there any birth records?

Her mother's name

Danvers.

f*ck.

That joint-enterprise case in '09

guess who was holding the knife.

Nico Danvers.

Her brother.

The system split them up

but couldn't keep them apart.

So, she keeps clean,

works her way up the Sanguis ranks,

and sits in this place all day

watching the traffic,

tilling up profits in her head.

And she wants that.

For herself and her brother.

Dreams bigger, changes the

business plan, breaks up their M.O.,

and finds a way to use the pipeline

but stay anonymous

under the alias Lindo.

There's a string of addresses

in her name.

We can get to her.

But Romeo first.

Yeah.

I know a darknet specialist.

Hey. Sorry

You don't even know

what to be sorry for.

I tell Stennet all he wanted

to hear about Millie Black.

Every single thing.

What you want? A cookie?

Please, Daniel

All of this is just stuff,

we can fix it.

When I was 16,

men came and attacked me.

I begged them to just gunbutt me.

Bust my head as hard as they want.

Take a finger,

take an eye.

Just don't k*ll me.

If I was there, I would have

told them to beat me instead.

You have to know that.

Every bruise, every scar,

a lesson you know

Are you for f*cking real?

That's what your mother taught you

before she started acting

like you were never born?

Scars teach nothing more than

stay away from whoever caused them.

And if I had learned

that damn lesson,

I'd stay away from you.

Alright.

Stay here.

Only haunt I know

no one will bother me.

Except Detective Black.

Why did you agree to see me?

My mother always said I have

an overactive imagination.

Always seems to gravitate

to the one I failed.

The one we failed.

You can say his name.

Victor.

You're looking for a boy.

Of course you are.

I need your help.

He's being sold on the darknet.

I have a user alias that

you could use to track the markets.

Lindo.

What?

You expect to find

this one alive, Detective?

I have to.

Yep.

You alright?

I'm fine.

We're on.

We can find Romeo.

I thought I told you

to stay in the car.

Started to worry about you.

Jesus, Millie.

How the f*ck did she find us?

Let's go.

We're on.

Yeah, that's him.

That's him.

He's alive.

This is old.

He already sold.

When?

3:18 pm yesterday.

Maybe delivered by now.

What, less than 24 hours?

A lot can happen in a day.

We should hand this over

to real police now.

By the time you go through

the Met red tape, it'll be over.

Who's the purchaser?

Unknown.

Must be a new buyer.

- What, you have his name?

- Alias.

This is how this works.

You know that.

f*ck's sake, come on.

There must be something.

Okay, look.

The paint is blistering here,

and here.

And look, the light position of the

shadow on the right side of his face.

And in the left corner

of the screen

there's something.

Can you enhance here?

Look at the pattern on that curtain.

Could be any house in London, Millie.

Is there audio on the feed?

Rewind again.

Have you got any way of

cleaning it up a bit, maybe

scrub out the white noise?

Loop that.

No, just that moment.

Sounds Eastern European.

That's a TV.

It's Albanian.

Is that a baby?

Jesus Christ, we were right there.

Millie?

What are we doing, Curtis?

I thought you'd left.

Oh?

Don't get enough TV show

where the g*y people either

break up or drop dead?

Who is this?

I miss the old Curtis.

Really?

f*ck no.

You've reached Meera,

please leave a message.

I know you don't want

to hear from me

but I found Romeo.

He's in one of the terraced houses

on the Ravenscourt Estate.

Jacquard curtains.

I'm here.

I'm going in.

Shut the f*ck up.

Are we alone?

Yeah?

Where are the keys for next door?

Where are the f*cking -

Do you know what?

No. My baby.

Here.

If you call anyone,

if you f*cking move an inch,

you will never ever see her again.

Do you understand?

Who are you?

I'm Millie.

And I have come to find you.

From a long way.

I'm so happy I did.

Romeo, who is that downstairs?

And did he hurt you?

My uncle and my auntie, they say.

No. No love.

Do you wanna see your parents?

Mean my mum and dad?

Yeah.

You miss them?

You want to go home?

Yeah?

I know what it's like-

Romeo.

We're going on our trip today.

And we're going to meet a new friend,

who's so excited to see you.

Gonna have so much fun.

Come on, there's a surprise

for you downstairs.

Now, people dress up smart

in London Town.

Check this out.

Do you like it?

Should we go try it on?

I think you're going to look

really cool in this.

Romeo.

It's alright love.

It's ok.

It's ok, I'm here for you, come.

What the f*ck is wrong with you, huh?

Where were you taking him?

And who is the buyer?

Don't you move.

Don't move.

Romeo, listen to me, okay?

It's alright. It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, you're coming with me.

I've got a g*n, Natalie.

It's okay, it's okay.

Hey, touch one hair on his head

and I will f*cking k*ll you.

Trafficking a child

k*lling Ahmed, the Somervilles

Serious stuff, Natalie.

But you can still walk out of this.

Put the g*n where I can see it

and come out.

That ends with Nico and me in prison

waiting to get knocked off

by Sanguis lieutenants.

No, thank you.

If you put down the g*n,

I will find a way to help you.

Oh, yeah?

And what about my brother?

You're trying to save him.

Believe me, I get it.

But the cost is too high.

I won't leave him holding the bag.

Like you did when you were kids?

I read your foster care files.

What happened to Nico

after you were separated

wasn't your fault.

Well he deserved better, right?

So did you.

I'm not the only one that's coming.

I've got backup on the way.

Please, Natalie.

Put down the g*n.

Are you Romeo?

Listen Romeo, I need to find Millie.

Millie, the lady that helped you.

Do you know where she is?

This house here?

Would you mind?

Yes, come on.

Armed police.

Natalie Halliday.

She fled and she's armed.

Millie, oh my god.

- It's okay, it's just a graze.

- Jesus, Millie.

- Did you see Romeo?

- He's outside.

Control this is Thakur,

I need an urgent ambulance

please at the Ravenscourt Estate.

I've got a person down, thank you.

Romeo's okay.

I want to go home.

I want my sister.

Funny thing

I'm the one they stripped

to the bone.

But you're the one

walking out of here bare.

Your badge. Your g*n.

Your reputation.

Yourself.

And yet I don't think

they took anything

you didn't give away

in the first place.

All of that plus family too.

You gave it all away

when you boarded that plane.

All I wanted was to be so normal

that when I die nobody would have

a f*cking thing to say.

But it's normal that's the f*ck.

Normal cost me everything,

and I just about lose it anyway.

So f*ck normal.

And f*ck nothing to lose.

Because who I have to lose

waiting for me at home.

Romeo?

Romeo?

Romeo, come in now.

Come, come.

Daddy made brown stewed chicken.

You saved that boy, Millie.

But how much family destroyed

to save one?

Win one, you lose two.

You've reached Bis.

Now state your biz.

Bis. It's Millie.

I'm home.

For good this time.

I know I know.

I wish I knew where you were.

I like to imagine

you're somewhere big.

Bigger than the Gully.

Bigger than that damn house

I tried to lock us into.

I'm sorry, Bis.

Part of me wants to blame the ghosts,

but they were never the ones

doing the haunting.

It was always me holding onto them,

holding onto sh*t long gone.

I understand now we can't go back.

I don't want to anymore.

What I want

is for you to know

I love you.

I sold the house.

Everything in it.

And I hope they bulldoze it all

to the f*cking ground.
