OLDER GEORGIA:
Can we try this again?

Margaret, would you mind?

Michael, do I still have you?

There have been some killings
that look similar.

Similar how?

OLDER GEORGIA:
I don't know, Frank.

ANTON: Boyd is right, Katyushka.

Tolliver has done something.

There is something wrong
with this place.

Get the child!

Kate Reynolds is alive.

-Georgia saw her die.
-I didn't.

-ELLE: She's missing, my boss.
-Ugh!

ELLE: Detective Inspector
Millie Farah.

Arggh!

That's a street kitchen van
from the church.

I've been in it.

I know who Kate Reynolds became.

[FRANKIE SIGHS]

-Francesca.
-Oh, Margaret.

I was a million miles away.

What's this?

-A gift for your birthday.
-[FRANKIE CHUCKLES]

I'm so lucky to have you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

-I have a watch.
-I know.

I thought this one
was a bit more grown-up.

Uh, do you like it?
See how it looks.

My mother gave me my watch.

And now I'm giving you this one.

You haven't seen your mother
in nearly a decade.

That's not the point.

Hey!

OK, you're OK. You're good,
sweetheart. You're good.

Where's Frankie?

TONY: She's safe, she's fine,
but she...

GEORGIA: Did they get him?

Who?

Callum Parrish.

Did they get Callum?

[WHISPERS]
OK, you listen to me, alright?

It's just me talking now,

but it's not gonna just me
for too much longer,

so when the...
when the cops talk to you,

you need to say
as little as possible.

You give me a chance
to find you a good lawyer.

I don't need to talk to
a lawyer.

-Stop, stop, stop.
-I need to talk to Charlie.

-I need to talk to...
-Stop, stop f*cking talking!

J-just...

Just f*ck' stop talkin'. Stop.

What do you think happened
out there?

They had Kate Reynolds.
They were torturing her...

-No, no, no.
-or something like that.

You shot two people.

You shot two people in front of
your little daughter!

-What do you mean, two people?
-You shot Callum Parrish.

He'll live.

Kate Reynolds is dead.

Who says that?

-Does Callum say that?
-Yeah, Callum.

Yeah, and Frankie.

They both say that.

Frankie!

[KNOCKS]

-Frankie!
-Hey, hey.

We don't know
that she's in danger.

What, you think Kate Reynolds

became my daughter's assistant
on a whim?

We don't know that Margaret
O'Connor is Kate Reynolds.

It's her. She and Callum
Parrish have taken Frankie.

-MICHAEL: George.
-GEORGIA: Frankie!

George!

Frankie?

-Frankie!
-Hi.

I'm Michael Thorne.

Are you gonna open the kitchen
or what? I'm f*ck' hungry.

We're with
the Police Department.

-Well, you're not a cop.
-Was a cop.

-I was a florist. Time, eh?
-Huh.

We're looking for a woman
named Margaret O'Connor.

-Do you know her?
-I don't like her.

She's the f*ck' devil!

Frankie?

Frankie!

OK.

Have you seen this guy around?

[YELLS] Hello? Frankie!

It's me.

[WISTFUL MUSIC]

[KEYS JANGLE]

Yeah, I seen him.

ELLE: You sure? Where?

Come by the church a bunch.
Talkin' to her.

[DOOR SQUEAKS]

MICHAEL: Didn't I tell you?

Callum Parrish has been visiting
Margaret O'Connor.

What more proof do we need?

When you said he came by
and talked to her,

who did you mean?

[UNSETTLING MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

The minister. Frankie!

[TENSE MUSIC]

Oh, Frankie.

What have you done?

FRANKIE: Kate Reynolds is dead.

She died 37 years ago.

F-F-Frankie!

[WHISPERS] Wh-what's going on?

I need you to listen.

CALLUM: Remember when you were
in NA, looking for a sponsor?

I do.

You were so lost, so confused.

But I helped you, didn't I?

I helped you become
what you are.

I told you God had a plan.

Now look. [CHUCKLES]

Was I right?

[CHUCKLES]

Why me? Why did you come to me?

Well, you must realise by now
that you are special.

You see things, you feel things

from the other side.

And one day, we will do
extraordinary things.

-Do I have to?
-Yes, you do.

I can show you again
in the book...

No, I...

CALLUM: Four deaths to echo
the deaths from the past.

It's what was missing.

But I found it.

Now I understand.

Do you understand
the part you're going to play?

Yeah.

CALLUM: You are perfection.

[FRANKIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Callum showed me
that I was special.

That I'd suffered for something.

That there was a plan to it all,

a purpose.

And this is it.

Your purpose was to k*ll
three innocent people?

[MILLIE CHOKES]

It had to be done.

[SCOFFS]

You don't understand,
but it had to be done.

Why don't you help me, Frankie?

Why don't you help me
to understand?

They didn't suffer.

They were numbed.
They were asleep.

And they weren't innocent.

A r*pist, a con man
and a parasite.

-They all deserved to die.
-[MILLIE SIGHS]

Do you know that things

that Damien Tovey said
about my mother on that show?

Oh, look, we'd all like to k*ll
a podcaster.

FRANKIE: I had to do it.

Do you know why
it didn't work before?

Because the vessel
wasn't strong enough.

It k*lled Kate Reynolds
because she wasn't prepared,

but I'm prepared!

Echoing the deaths of the past,

it strengthens the vessel!

It's in the book.

[GROANS]

[LAUGHS]

Why are you laughing?

Oh, I don't know, Frankie.

[BREATHES RAGGEDLY]

It's just that I'm dead,
aren't I?

And you're f*cking insane.

[LAUGHS]

I want you to know

that they didn't suffer
when I k*lled them.

But you will.

Because you brought my mother
into this.

She was safe in there, Millie.

She was safe.

And you dragged her into this.

-So you'll suffer.

Is Georgia still upstairs?

Yep.

Do you think she knew?

Bit of it, maybe.

Is she gonna be OK?

[SIGHS] Probably not.

No-one really is in the end,
so...

There's a car coming for her.

To take her back to Havenbrook.

Listen, I don't want to do this,
but...

can you wait with her
till it comes?

I gotta head back.

-Gotta try and figure out...
-I know where she is.

You're asking me
to convince my boss

to charter a plane

to a radio telescope that's been
abandoned since 1987.

I'll bet it's not abandoned
anymore.

Just wait with her, yeah?

Yep.

[WISTFUL MUSIC]

[MICHAEL SIGHS]

[GASPS SOFTLY]

-It's not your fault.
-[GEORGIA SIGHS]

[VOICE BREAKS]
I should have protected her.

Callum will have her out there
at Parrish Station.

Yeah.

I tried to tell Hardy.

Don't know if it'll fly
with the brass.

But you'll go, though,
won't you?

I'm going.

-Yes.
-Yeah.

-[WHISPERS] Yeah.
-[FLASK CLINKS]

Who was Margaret O'Connor, then?

I think she was just
Margaret O'Connor. Just a lady.

Just a nice old lady.

Well, she wasn't that nice.

[SOBS AND LAUGHS RUEFULLY]

Oh!

[MICHAEL EXHALES]

He's got my baby. [SOBS]

He's twisted her.

And I don't know what to do!

What do I do?

How can I save her?

Well, George...

I'm gonna go k*ll a guy
in the desert.

And you're welcome to come.

[DOOR BUZZES AND SQUEAKS OPEN]

[DOOR CLOSES]

MICHAEL: We're OK, thanks, Izzy.

[DOOR THUDS]

You bash me now, I'm gonna
look like a real dickhead.

Lockwood's been trying
to reach you.

Your dad too.

You know he sprung for a silk, right?

That's a mortgage
on the house right there.

-I didn't ask him to do that.
-Yeah, well, he has.

He's telling me -

and f*ck' hell, George,
he has to have this wrong -

that you're demanding
to stand trial.

I am.

You have rigged
the indictment lottery here.

-I didn't k*ll anyone.
-Institutionalisation.

Take some meds. Chat to
a shrink. Paint a f*ck' mural.

Out in a decade. Less, maybe.

-Take the deal.
-I didn't sh**t her.

Take the deal.

How'd she die?

Have you seen her body?

Has anyone?

Charlie? Or does Callum
run the place now?

MICHAEL: I'm f*ck' sorry!

Is everything alright?

We're fine, Izzy. It's fine.

I can't...

I cannot let this f*ck' thing
claim everyone.

Have you thought about Frankie?

What a trial would do to her?
Media attention?

They'll try to get her
to testify.

She says you shot Reynolds.

She's been through a lot.

Next year, you want her
visiting you for Christmas

in a place like this?

If you won't do it for yourself,
do it for her.

George.

[MICHAEL EXHALES]

You know, he's persuasive,
that Callum.

I just say this 'cause whatever
he's got Frankie believing,

she's not the first one.

I know.

Yeah. Reynolds. Tolliver.

Some very well educated people
believe that bullshit.

Yeah.

'Cause it is bullshit, right?

Might feel a little better
if I heard you say it,

that you know it's bullshit.

[PHONE BUZZES]

-MICHAEL: Hardy.
-ELLE: Where are you?

Where's Georgia? I just spoke
to a uniform at the rectory

and he said that...

I dropped her back
at Havenbrook hours ago.

Thought I told you that.

Didn't I call you?
Called someone.

No, you didn't, but listen,

we've pulled
some airline records.

Frankie Webb has taken
five trips to Barrawin

in the past six months.

Barrawin's the closest town
to that...

-I know where it is.
-Right, OK.

Well, it's not simple.

Could take me a few hours
to pull a team together.

What did you say?

Can't hear you.
Can you speak up, please?

-Just stay where you...
-Hello? Hello?

What would I be upset about?

Well, your assistant,
uh, Mary, was it?

Margaret.

You didn't have to k*ll her.

She wasn't part of the plan.

Well, she made a choice.

I'm not sure that she did.

She chose to pry, to interfere.
That's a choice.

[NECKLACE CLINKS]

Just you and me now, hm?

It's simpler. [CHUCKLES]

I've waited 37 years,
and it's time again.

Do you feel it?

The synchronicity?

Yes.

Are you ready?

I am.

I'm very proud of you.

might have had a shot

at a normal life.

MICHAEL: What's that?

She never stood a chance.

[WISTFUL MUSIC]

I know that some of the things

that have happened
over the past year,

some of the things
that I've done,

I know that
they're really confusing...

What things?

TONY: Oh, look, love,
your mum's sick,

and that's why
she's in hospital.

She's gonna get better,
but when you're sick,

sick in the brain,
you do things that...

I'm not sick.

You... George.

And, Frank, if people try
and tell you that...

-Oh, George!
-No, look at me. Frankie.

Hey.

If people try and tell you

that I'm sick, I'm not, OK?

[TONY SIGHS]

-Frankie, when you're older...
-Alright, we might...

We might try this
another time, eh?

-Dad.
-Nuh. Some other time, I think.

Come on, love, let's go.

-[STATIC DISTORTS]
-[CALLUM GRUNTS]

KAYLA: That's all I've ever
wanted to do.

Let those who have passed away
tell their stories through me.

I don't see myself
as a podcaster

or a journalist
or an entertainer.

I consider myself, in many ways,

a vessel.

And a DJ.

I didn't want to do this show.

It's been three months
since Damien died,

three months since the second
m*ssacre at Parrish Station,

and we have, in a sense,
some closure now.

Michael Thorne died
in his rescue attempt

and will be remembered
in the media nationwide

as the hero of Moorland.

Millie Farah,
having survived the m*ssacre,

is currently listed by
the Police Department

as being on extended leave.

I can actually
speak about this now.

I worked with Millie
during the search for Damien

three months ago.

I consider her a colleague
and a friend.

Callum Parrish's body
was found in the radio tower.

The official medical report
puts the cause of death

as heart failure,

although that report
is heavily redacted.

Unfortunately,
the only other two people

who might be able
to shed light on this

are unavailable for comment.

[HEARING AID TRILLS]

GEORGIA: There we are.

[GENTLE AMBIENT MUSIC]

KAYLA:
All I've ever wanted to do

was tell stories,

because stories have power.

In this room, right now,

they're just sound,
vibrations in the air

passing from a speaker
to your ears.

But stories are the way
we understand the world

and ourselves.

But first...

building a website
should be fun.
