01x05 - Episode 5

Post by bunniefuu »

The morning that my
wife died, she seemed tense.

She said that she had made the
decision to sack her assistant.

It's just so weird,

because last night you
said, 'I wish it would

burn to the ground.'

I didn't mean it.
No, of course not.

Your support has just
meant the world to me,

so I really hope you
can rely on me too.

Of course.

Paul Brooks,

you're under arrest for
the m*rder of Dean Walsh.

The suspected m*rder weapon
was found in your apartment.

You put it there, didn't
you? Why would I do that?

If I've made a mistake, I
want to put things right.

It's too late. I'm being questioned
about the m*rder of my own wife.

A bribe?

His wife died. He wasn't
thinking straight.

It's corruption, Ollie.

Why would you tell me?

I saw the way you
looked at your sister.

You know exactly what
I'm talking about,

who she really is,
and you don't like it.

Don't tell her I came here.

Dad, we have to cut her off.

Sorry, excuse me,
what are you doing?

This is my house.
That's my stuff.

You said you were done.
You said you were done

with chasing potential
murderers around.

Margie, how long have
you been lying to me?

Mummy, please, can
you just let me in?

Oh, God!

You scared me!

What are you doing?

The kids say that
they like schnitzel,

so you know, I'm
making schnitzel.

In the dark?

Well, I didn't want to wake you.

A lifetime supply.

They'll freeze.

It's 1am.

I'm sorry. I just haven't

slept alone in 15 years.

Turns out I've forgotten how.

Yeah, first night's
the weirdest.

You think there's gonna
be a second night?

No, I didn't mean that,

just that I get it.

Well, I'll try and be more quiet

with my schnitzel
making. Ah...

Come on.

Ugh. This is hideous.

I'm doing you a favour, Mum.

Clara?

Morning.

Oh, good. You're a night
and a morning person.

Sleep well? I reckon I got

a good, solid 45 minutes.

For some stupid reason I decided
to check my e-mails at 3am.

I saw that the wedding
rings we ordered are ready.

Thanks for letting
me share your bed.

No problem. It's been a
while since I've had to.

What? Are you saying
you haven't, you know...

..since the divorce?

Ooh, it has been a while.

I kissed Daniel. What?

As in 'kiss' kissed? Yep.

OK, just to be crystal clear,

was it like a hello kiss,
or like a, 'Hello!' kiss?

Well... I know.

Just because, you know,
you... Hate the guy. I know.

Do you often kiss
men you dislike?

I'm gonna get that.

Kids, grab your
things, Dad's here.

Coffee? And before you ask,
yes, I've only got instant.

That'll be a no.

Snob.

I'm not a snob, I'm Italian.

Uh-oh.

You're doing that
thing with your ear.

The 'I have something to say
and don't know how' thing.

I got a call from the
insurance company this morning.

And?

They've approved the
payout for the fire.

Oh! Well, that's great.

Maybe not 'great' great, but
I get a deposit for a house,

you get to re-open
the furniture store.

It's a silver lining at least.

Isn't it?

The thing is, I've
crunched the numbers,

and my half isn't enough
to rebuild the business.

At least not in Sydney.

Canberra is another
story. Canberra?

Yeah. I've been
talking to my brother.

What if we all moved down there
and opened the new store with him?

We?

It'd be a really great
thing for the kids.

You mean a really
great thing for you.

Well, there is another option,

and that is you re-invest your
share back into the business.

You're actually serious.

That way I can stay in Sydney,

and I wouldn't have
to take the kids.

Take? What do you mean take?

I will rip that ear off
if you don't answer me.

Look, the last thing I want
is an ugly custody battle...

Oh, really? ..but the way

you've been behaving... I
thought we were over this.

And I thought you were
done with Heidi Lang.

Do you think I like this?
Do you think I wanted

my furniture store to burn down?

None of this is my fault, Clara.

Right. Have you
two got everything?

Yep.

I mean, nope.

Right. Give mum a cuddle.

Mmm.

OK, I'll see you
two munchkins soon.

Bye, Mum!

Just think about what I said.

Who is it? Since when
do you put the chain on?

Since I found out my fiancBee is
still chasing a potential m*rder*r.

OK, fair enough.

Oh, come on, let me in. I'm
not wearing any sunscreen.

Trish, please. I'm
frying out here.

Another 30 seconds
and I'll be crackling.

Thank you.

So, the jeweller e-mailed.

The wedding rings are ready.

I can grab them after
work if you want.

Trish? Is this cold feet?

No! My feet are warm. Hot, even.

You said you were done. You said
you'd moved on from the trial,

and now I find out you've been
sneaking around behind my back.

It's like you've been
having an affair.

Wait, what? That is a big no.

I mean, Clara and I

shared the same bed but
absolutely nothing happened.

What? Clara's straight.

She kisses boys. I mean,
ones she doesn't even like.

I absolutely... I didn't
mean that kind of affair.

And all of this secretive
behaviour in my book says...

It's an emotional affair.

It's not like that.
It's just that...

The more we dug,
the more we realised

that what we thought was the
truth, what we heard in court,

it wasn't the whole story.

So?

So, we were asked to deliver
justice, but we didn't.

Not for Belinda. Belinda?

Who's Belinda?

The victim. Belinda Brooks.

Right, sorry. It just...

It didn't feel right to
turn our backs on her.

I can understand that, and I kind
of respect you for caring so much.

You do? Yeah.

But that doesn't explain
why you lied to me.

We've always shared everything.

We've always
supported each other.

This, Margie...

It feels like you're
punishing me for something.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Well, denying it isn't helping.

OK, well I don't
know what to do then.

Take the sunscreen with you.

Awesome, you're here!

Heidi. Hey.

I didn't know you...

Did we agree to meet here?

You said you did this class,

and I thought I'd like
to be stretchy too.

Oh, crap. Forgot
my water bottle.

At the office.

Must have left it
there. Ugh. Annoying.

But I can't do yoga dehydrated.

I'd better get back.

I'll see you another time.

Uh, before you go,
I wanted to ask,

what were you doing talking
to my brother the other day?

At lunch?

Two days later, out the
front of my parents' house.

Oh, right. Yeah. I
lost my credit card.

I thought I must have dropped it

so I went back, and
I bumped into Angus.

Well, it looked like a
pretty intense conversation.

I mean, I drove past,
I saw you two chatting.

I'm sorry.

I know it's wrong getting involved
in other people's families,

but the way he treated you
at lunch, I didn't like it.

So I went over there to tell
him to cut you some slack.

Thanks.

There aren't a lot
of people in my life

who would go into
bat for me like that.

It didn't work, though.

What?

So much has happened.

It's official -

Angus is the new CEO
of Lang Ventures,

and his first order of
business was to cut me off.

He's even kicked me
out of my own home.

Straight cis white
men. Ugh. Am I right?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'd better get back.

Hey, is there any chance

I could stay with you
for a couple of nights,

just until I figure
something else out?

Oh, um... I can
handle a lumpy couch.

I'm no princess.

It's just now's not a good time.

I've got Margie crashing. Oh.

And the kids need their
routine, with things not great

between me and Dom at the moment.
Wait, what's he done this time?

Huh? Oh,

it's fine. He's fine.

It's just we had

a tiny tiff this
morning. About?

It's no big deal.

Come on.

The insurance money came through,
and if I do re-invest my share

back into the business, then Dom
will have to move to Canberra.

He wants to take
the kids with him.

Wait, Clara, you're not
giving him that money.

No. I mean, I don't think
I should either, but...

But that fire was what you needed
to get your life back on track.

I'm not sure I needed

a fire, exactly...
But it's what

you've always wanted.
Your own place.

Weren't you grateful in the end?

You're right.

I should take advantage
of this great opportunity.

It's all good.

I'll find somewhere
else to crash.

Remember, stay hydrated.

So, you wanted to
show us something?

Yeah, Heidi's face.

It's been a very
intense few months, I know.

We came so close to
shutting shop, to losing

absolutely everything,
but thanks to

a little bit of luck and a
sh*t-tonne of hard work -

extra special shout-out to
you, Sarah, and to Bree.

And we did it! We
did it. Not only...

Did you see it?

Heidi's face?

The look on her
face. Oh. Yeah.

Is anyone else following this?

This video was taken the
night before Belinda died.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember
this. We watched it in court.

The DPP were trying to build
a case that Heidi and Belinda

had had a falling out. Yeah,

defence used this video
to show us that there was

no falling out. Heidi's smiling.

Sure, it looks that way, but now
I know Heidi, I know that look.

She wasn't happy.

Nope.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Where was I?

I don't know. Where were you?

Heidi got all weird when I
mentioned I might not take

the insurance money, that I
wasn't grateful for the fire.

She didn't admit
she was behind it,

but it was like she wanted me to
acknowledge her, to thank her.

And Belinda didn't mention
Heidi in that speech.

Exactly.

The night before Belinda
died, there was a work drinks.

I've been through this. I don't
know why she wanted to sack Heidi.

All I know is that she did.

Belinda mentioned something
about nearly losing the business.

There was a period
where things were tough.

Cash flow issues, debt...

But that changed?

Belinda inherited some
money after her dad died,

and she used that money
to bail out her business.

Belinda's father died? How?

The man liked his single malt.

One night he liked it
a little bit too much.

He took a tumble and he fell
down the stairs and hit his head.

Did Heidi know that Belinda
was due to inherit that money?

Belinda was his only child, but they
didn't have much of a relationship

on the account of him being a
prick, but he was a loaded prick.

Why? Do you guys
think that Heidi...

k*lled Belinda's
father for the money.

Special favour.

It's twisted.

Oh sh*t, it is.

Maybe that night Heidi got angry at
Belinda for not acknowledging her

for saving the business, and let
something slip about her dad.

That would make sense, why
Belinda wanted to fire her.

Why didn't she tell me?

Maybe Belinda didn't
quite believe it herself.

Heidi, she has this way
of telling you something

without really telling you.

The album was open.

What album?

On the day that...

I found Belinda's family
photo album open on her desk.

She must have been looking at it
the night before when she got home.

Oh, she never looked
at pictures of her dad.

I should have realised it,
though. I should have seen

that she was rattled.

She was terrified, and all I
could do was just go for a jog.

This isn't your fault.

If someone you cared
about ended up dead,

you'd blame yourself too.

Hi, Dom.

I'm Heidi. One of
Clara's friends.

We need to talk.

Wait, you can't just...

Not gonna offer me a drink?

I didn't realise that
would be so pulpy.

I've heard a lot about you.

And?

Not all of it is
great, I'm afraid.

Likewise.

I'm here because I'm
worried about my friend.

Clara told me how
you're using your kids

as a bargaining tool

to bully her into giving you her
share of the insurance money.

No.

That's not how it is.
You've got no idea

what you're talking about.
I don't need to hear

your justifications. I'm only
interested in making sure

my friend isn't screwed
over by her ex, again.

Especially since last time
didn't end too well for him,

what with his furniture
store burning down.

Heidi!

Mia, Jamie! How was rock
climbing the other day?

So fun.

I climbed the really big one.

What? Oh, my gosh! High five!

I don't think we've met.

Mandy, right? The sales manager?

Doesn't mind a married man.

Yeah, I know all about you too.

Hey kids, why don't we finish
packing your bag in the bedroom?

You said we could watch TV.

Just do as Mandy says,
OK? Good boy. Come on.

Come on, Jamie. Bye.

Bye, you two! Have a good day.

You have really cute kids.
They take after their mum.

It's time for you to leave.

I can't believe this
is where Belinda died.

It's a bit weird that
Paul wanted to stay

after all that.

I do wonder if he'd like to
sell when he gets out of prison.

You're using this as a
business opportunity?

Seriously? What's
wrong with that?

Got them.

Paul said it was the green
album Belinda was looking at.

There she is. A
little older than Zoe.

Look. She's with her dad.

Imagine how heartbreaking
it would have been for her

to find out why he died.

She would feel responsible.

Oh, awkward school formal pic.

Still, her dress beats mine.

What was yours like?

I don't want to discuss it.

But I won't be revisiting
salmon chiffon.

Don't worry,

Mum made mine.

There were purple sequins
involved, and feathers.

I feel like you could
have pulled that off.

No one pulls off feathers.

You could.

Oh,

you two! BOTH: What?

Are you bonking?

No! Ah!

I can sense these
things. It's my high EQ.

I can, ooh, smell the lust.

It's wafting. It is visceral.

Nothing's...

How long has this been...

Is it like a friends
with benefits thing?

We're not bonking.

Who even uses
that word? No one.

They did kiss.

What? Margie...

You told her?

You didn't tell me? How
the hell did you manage

to make this about you? I
only found out yesterday.

You've known for a day?

Can we - this is not the time or
place to discuss my love life!

You're using the L-word.

My non-love life! We're
investigating a m*rder.

We've finally found a
motive. So what now?

What are you doing, you weirdo!

I need to talk to you. I'm
not interested in anything

you have to say.

We figured out why
Heidi k*lled Belinda.

Yeah.

Heidi has this thing where
she obsessed over people

and then does them favours,
except they're not really favours.

In fact, they're the
opposite of favours.

Can you get to the point?

Heidi k*lled Belinda's
dad to save the business.

Belinda figured it out,
and when she wasn't

grateful enough, Heidi
threw her off the building.

Case closed.

Have you got any physical
evidence to back up your theory?

Well, no. But I have motive,
and that's emotional evidence.

So you've got nothing.

Can't your cop mates
find something?

I mean they never even looked
into Belinda's dad's death.

Maybe if they did
their job properly

and investigated, they
could find something.

Alright, I'm gonna go now.

OK. Yeah, um...

Sorry for lowering
your heartrate.

I can't believe Daniel and Clara
find love just as we lose it.

Yeah, it was just one kiss.

Sometimes that's all it takes.

You know when I invited you
to have a lonely hearts drink,

this is not exactly
what I had in mind.

Well, I told you I
had to see my mum.

When does it stop hurting, Margie?
When am I going to feel whole again?

You and Eliza were together for
11 seconds, yeah? You'll live.

I'm not saying it's the same
as you and Trish, it's just...

I really liked her. I've
never really liked anyone.

I'm sorry. Welcome to heartache.

The good thing about this, at
least we know you have a heart.

So did your mum and
Trish get along?

I suppose so. I
mean, mum knew her,

liked her, invited her
to Christmas and Easter.

Even introduced
her to the family.

Oh. As my flatmate.

Ouch.

I mean, it wasn't easy
for her, you know?

She came from a different world.

But it would have been nice

if she just could have
acknowledged us as an us.

If I could have just rubbed our
love in her face, just once.

OK, yeah, yep.

Sorry.

No, it's fine. I just
can't tell if you like her

or not. She's my mother.

I love her.

Doesn't mean I don't want
to k*ll her sometimes.

Where's the bloody...

Sorry.

It smells really nice.

Dom? Hi.

They're not here.

But it's my night with
them. Not anymore.

What's going on?

Dom.

She came here. That's what.

She knows where I live,
where our children live.

Who?

Heidi f*cking Lang!

She threatened me.

Pretty much admitted
to organising the fire.

She knew all about the
insurance money, too.

Not to mention scared
the sh*t out of Mandy.

Did you put her up to this?

What? No. I had no
idea she would do that.

Where are the kids?

Dom. Where are they?

They're at Mandy's parent's
place. Where's that?

You really think I'm
gonna tell you that?

Excuse me?

You disclosed our whole
lives to a psycho-m*rder*r.

She's already burned
down my business.

There's no way I'm letting you put
our children in any more danger.

Hey, you can't keep
my kids from me.

As long as Heidi's out there,
you're not going anywhere near them.

You made it! Ah!

Thanks for the invite.
I definitely needed

the power of the downward
dog after the week I've had.

Ha.

Oh, me too.

But also, I wanted
to say thank you.

You went to see Dom.

I don't know what you
did, but Dom called me,

told me to forget
all about Canberra.

Mmm.

That's good of him. Yeah.

And it looks like I get to keep

my share of the
insurance money, too.

So, all's well that ends well.

That's great. Oh,
that's really great.

Because I've been thinking -
now, this might sound crazy,

but maybe we need to do
something crazy once in a while.

Like? Are you ready for this?

Yeah.

Buying a house together.

Because I've been looking
around, and honestly,

you can buy three chateaus
in the French countryside

for the price of one
sh*thole in Redfern.

But if there's two of us,
and if we pool our resources,

then suddenly our options
look a lot brighter.

Oh, wow. That's interesting.

Well, I said it
was a crazy idea.

You weren't kidding.
Well obviously details

will need to be matted out,

but there's an open
house later this arvo.

We should check it
out after class.

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah. OK.

Welcome, everyone.

Please find your
comfortable seat.

Bring your hands to your heart,
and let us begin our practice.

Take a deep breath in...

..and a
gentle sigh out.

I cannot believe I invite
you to meet my mother

and you steal her
hand cream. I didn't

steal her hand cream. I
was just borrowing it.

And now I'm replacing
it. Which one was it?

Avocado and shea butter.

Purple and white tub? Yep.

Yeah...

What? Nothing, nothing.

Hey, have you tried rosehip oil?

No, no, no! Give me that.

Discontinued.

They can't discontinue it!

Rosehip has a lovely scent
and it says it soothes...

My mother has been using the
same hand cream for 35 years.

Maybe it's time
for a change, huh?

Have you tried almond oil?
Good for soft, supple skin.

So typical. You work
hard your whole life,

just so you can enjoy
the little things,

the tiny things,
like hand cream.

And does life repay
you? No. No, it just

takes and takes. It's not fair.

It's a really, really
great hand cream.

And it deserves
to still be here,

moisturizing the hands of
the people that we love.

Are you sure this
is about hand cream?

Trish.

Margie? Is everything alright?

You're right. I have
been punishing you.

What? Because I'm angry.

With me? Yes, with you.

What? Why?

Because you never let me be!

Shh, shh, shh.

My mother hasn't moved, hasn't
said a word for three years.

She just lies there like a blob.

Yes, she's alive,
but she's not here.

She doesn't know we're getting
married, or that we can.

My whole life, I was told I can't
have this, because of who I am.

It turns out now that
was all bullshit.

All I ever wanted was for my mother
to watch us walk down the aisle

and commit to one another.

But because some random blood clot
lodged in her brain, she can't.

And it's so effing unfair.

I know. I know it is. I know.

Do you?

Because you never
let me express that.

What? Whenever I feel teary

or frustrated or just even a
little bit peeved, you swoop in

and remind me of all the positives.
She's still alive, she's OK.

It's so annoying.

I'm trying to support you.

It doesn't feel like support.
It feels like denial.

I...

I'm sorry. I...

I shouldn't have
lied. I shouldn't have kept

the whole investigation a
secret. I knew it was wrong.

I'm sorry, too.

What now?

I don't know.

I really hate sleeping
by myself, though.

Eh? What do you mean you
agreed to buy a house together?

I didn't agree.
We're just looking for now.

What do you mean? I know

it sounds nuts, but I
didn't know what else to do.

I have to keep her close

if I have any chance of
seeing my kids again.

Dom is not going to take
your kids away from you.

He's gonna try.
And he has a point.

If she keeps popping
up and threatening him,

I can see why he wants to keep
them away from her and me.

This isn't your fault.

I invited her into our lives.

Clara, drop me a pin, alright?

Because I want to know
where she takes you.

I've gotta go.

Dad? Is everything alright?

Well there's no pool but
there's plenty of room

for a Slip N' Slide, which is
way more fun for the kids anyway.

You really think we can afford
this? I mean, look around.

Everyone else seems to
have familial support.

Oh, forget them.

We can do this on our own.

I don't want to be a downer,

but without the bank of
mum and dad in the city,

everything feels out of reach.
Like, even people with good jobs

need help from their parents.
Take Belinda for example.

Didn't her dad's inheritance help
save the business at one point?

Where did you hear that?

During the trial. Heh.

Did you see the bathtub
in the en suite?

I just love a good bath.

He died not long before
her, hey? Belinda's dad?

Yeah. Yeah, a couple
of months, at least.

What if Belinda was grieving?

Could that have been the reason
why she might have jumped?

Clara, I've already told you
Belinda didn't k*ll herself.

She wouldn't have done that.

And besides, her and her
father weren't even that close.

I mean, she barely spoke to him.

It doesn't mean she
wouldn't have been upset.

Well yeah, but he was old,
and he had a long, happy life,

and he died peacefully in his
sleep. It's a good way to go.

You know what? I don't
think this place is for us.

Let's keep looking.
I'll see you later.

Oh, OK.

Do you remember the first
meal I ever cooked for you?

Mmm. It was a beautiful chicken -
whoa, that's a lot of schnitzel.

Yeah, well that's just what
couldn't fit in Clara's freezer,

or ours, or in the deep
freezer in the back shed.

You've been butchering your
emotions again, haven't you?

Yeah.

Like when your mum first
had the stroke and you made

600 shish kebabs.

622, actually.

Mmm.

Ah!

Ooh! Ooh, they're so sparkly.

I know. I'm so glad we
went with the bling.

Yass! It's our wedding,
we should treat ourselves.

Stop, stop! It's bad luck.

Alright! Superstitious.

I love you.

I love you so much.

That's why I hated seeing
you so upset about your mum.

But it was wrong of me to
push those feelings aside.

I was treating you like
one of my patients.

Yeah, well, I
didn't need a nurse.

No. You needed a fiancBee,

who could listen, who could get
angry with you, who could...

What's going on?

I'm letting it out!

Yeah!

All the frustration
about your mother,

all the frustration
towards your mother.

Come on. Scream it with me.

You need this. Heck,

I need this. I'm not a flatmate!

She is my fiancBee!

I don't need to answer that.

No, go on.

Really? Yeah,

answer it.

Hi.

Belinda's dad died when he
fell down the stairs, right?

Yeah.

But Heidi just said
he died in his sleep.

She did it, Margie. I know it.

If we could just pin it on her.

Yeah, and we will.

But I'm kind of in the
middle of something.

Can I...

Can I call you back later?

Sorry.

It's OK.

Really?

Yeah. Just be safe, and
don't do anything stupid,

and tell me everything,
and also never, ever

share a bed with
Clara ever again.

I promise.

Look, if this is about Ollie,
he needs to just get over us.

We were never a thing anyway.

This has got nothing
to do with Ollie.

He doesn't even know I'm
here. None of them do.

OK, gonna tell me
what this is about?

Is it to do with
the bribe you took?

Well?

I want to cut a deal.

Hello?

I'm sorry to call
like this. It's OK,

but Dom's really mad, and
I don't want to get stuck

in the middle of this.

Hang on.

I'm not calling to
ask for anything more

than just to speak to my kids.

I need to hear their voice,

make sure they're OK.

Come back here, Jamie!

Mia, Jamie, wanna say hi to mum?

Yes!

Mum, did you know that methane
is cow burps not cow farts?

I can't say I did.
We made cupcakes

out of chickpea
flour last night.

They didn't turn out so great.

Sometimes the baking part

is even more fun
than the eating part.

Mum?

Sorry, sweetie. I have to go.

But I love you both and
I can't wait to see you.

Love you.

Heidi.

Hey. I'm being tried again.

What? You need to help me.

I don't understand.

Apparently the jury at my
trial was tampered with.

Wait, what? Someone's claiming

to have been bribed, which
is just crazy, right?

Uh, yeah...

I have to do the court
case all over again.

But what if the new jury
aren't as reasonable as you?

What if they find me guilty?
Clara, please, you have to help me.

I mean, how?

Well, you can make
him take it back.

Him? How do you know
the juror was a him?

What? I...

Why would I be able to
speak to this person?

You were the foreperson.
I just figured

you might have your own
suspicions on who it might be.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could help, but
I have a work function.

What? First you don't
let me stay with you,

which means I have to hide out

at my parents' farm house like a
pathetic squatter, and now this?

After everything I've done for
you, this is how you thank me?

I'm grateful.

For everything.

So you'll help me?

I'm late.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Good to see you.

We need to talk.

So have you heard?
Heidi knows.

She knows it was you,
and she's not happy.

What were you thinking?

I had to do it.

We discussed it. We decided.

What about Zoe? You
can't go to jail.

I won't. I made a deal.

Because I confessed off my own back,
they agreed to a suspended sentence,

community service, two
years good behaviour bond.

But why?

Because coming clean,

it's the only way to
keep everyone safe.

And to say I'm
sorry, and mean it.

You were right. You
wanted to vote guilty.

Everyone else agreed with you.

We should have listened to you.

What kind of community service?

Teaching.

Oh. That's good.

In prisons.

Well, you get to leave after
class, so that's also good.

Heidi is gonna be retried.

So it will be worth it.

I hope so.

It just feels like she's
always one step ahead.

Yeah. You shouldn't be
on your own tonight.

I'm staying with Margie.

She asked.

Yeah. That's a good idea.

Alright. So I'll see you round?

Yeah.

You can go with him
if you really want to,

but I don't know why you would.

Seriously? He's not worth it.

OK, fine. Whatever.

But you're totally
gonna regret this.

Sorry. A bit too
loud for libraries.

My friend, she just
dogged me again.

Sucks when that happens.

Even worse, she's done it to
hang out with this total d-bag.

We're meant to be going
to this listening party.

The new Betty Litchfield album.

You friend clearly has
some priority issues.

Are you a fan?
Yeah. Like, massive.

Zoe, why
aren't you answering?

I'm at the library.
Where are you?

Hey. Excuse me, sorry -

have you seen a young
girl? She's 16 years old.

She's got blonde,
curly hair like yours.

I think she was at that table.

Yeah? She must have left.

Do you know where she went?

I don't normally ask people where
they're going when they leave here.

Yeah.

Anika, it's Zoe's dad.

Look, I'm trying to find her.

Do you have any idea
where she might be?

Emily, it's Zoe's dad.
Have you heard from her?

Zoe, I need to know
that you're OK.

Please, if she calls you,
then you tell her to call me.

Zoe's gone. What?

She was studying in the library.

I'm meant to pick her
up. She's not here.

Have you called?

I have, alright? And she's not
answering, and that's not like her.

I've called all of her friends.
No one's heard from her.

OK, there's probably
an explanation.

Do you think she
could be behind this?

Heidi could have taken her.

You don't know that.

You said so yourself
- Heidi is volatile.

Do you know where
she is right now?

She told me she's been hiding
out at her parents' farm house.

Right.

Be careful.

Heidi!

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe!
