Did you sleep? Yeah. Did you? Yeah. The bed was weird. Yeah. So when'd you go? What? When'd you go? I don't know. A long time ago. Got eight stitches. You all right? Saph? Please, Sapphie. Saph, I can't just leave you here. Don't even know if it'll stop here for you. It'll stop. You don't know that. Don't worry. It'll stop. What about Death Dog? I don't care. Yes, you do. I don't.

Promise. All right. I'll call you, OK? Check. Saph, are you there? What? He's a kid. Do you wanna come sit down? You OK? Yeah. You miss your friend? No. Sweet dreams. Where have you been? Morning love. Out the back. This girl wants to know if her boyfriend paid for his part of the bill. No, haven't seen him. Where is he? He's gone, apparently. When? Early this morning, apparently. Sorry. No, didn't even see him. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter. I just thought he might have. I'll pay. That's all I've got, sorry. It's $3.60 short. I know. I'm sorry. Go on. Tell me something I don't know. Go on. Get out. What? Don't look at me. I didn't check him in. He's not there. Right. He'll be back around two. That's fine. Do you want me to call him? No, no, it's all right. Do you want to leave a message? I'll come back. Are you OK? Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I'll come back. I could call. What's your name? Doesn't matter. Just your first name will do. It's all right. I'll come back. Are you sure? Yeah. Thank you. Shit. Grace. Grace. Where are you going? Grace. Grace. Dan. What? Damn it. Shit, shit, shit, shit. Grace. Hey, come on. Angus. A lazy waddle down the Monash during peak hour was always going to ruffle a few feathers. But darting didn't stop these little guys from breaking free from mom to embark on some line hoping of their own. Come on, mate, you eat some of that? I don't really like it. Come on. Good day. Look at this. Peter, what's the kid's name? Philip. How many legs has it got? No, I'm serious. Has it got pinchers? Has it got wings? Just trap it. Get a jar, put the jar over the top, get a piece of paper, slide it behind, put the jar-- hun, stop screaming. Stop screaming. Stop screaming. Yeah, OK. I know you're scared. The spider's probably scared. Listen, just go and stay in Phillip's room tonight. Look, hun, I'm going to be back in a couple of days. It'll move around. I'm sure it's going to avoid you like the plague. It was a joke. It was a-- It was a-- hello? Do that. Come on. Clean up. Do you want to go first? All right. Not much to crow about. Especially as they're on the 82 shore. Honey? I don't think this stuff's working. I don't think this stuff's working. What? Nell? What? This new toothpaste you bought, I don't think it's making any difference. Well you've only just started using it. It's supposed to make teeth whiter, isn't it? Something like that. Well, it isn't. Well, don't use it then. Well, because it says it makes teeth whiter. It should make them whiter. This stuff got a guarantee? Nah. Can you see my teeth when I talk? What? Can you see my teeth when I talk? I don't know. Have you wiped that mirror? Yeah, yeah. What do you think? Any whiter? I'm not sure if it works on false teeth. Oh, why not? False teeth a little whiter? Got you. Oh, what are you doing? What about a bit of crumpet? No. Come on. No, Tom. It's delightful in the morning. Tom. What? Oh. No, no. Tom. Could you, could you get up? You're on my bad knee. Oh, sorry. Oh. Are you all right? Oh, Tom. Darling. What? It was just a fun. You OK? Oh, there-- there's not much happening here. So look, I could come home. At the office. I could pop home. Oh, fair enough. Yeah. Oh, oh. I suppose I'd better let you get on with your day. Yeah. All right. Lazy waddle down the Monash during peak hours. Yeah, yeah, fine. No problem. Much obliged. Thank you, thank you very much indeed. All right, bye. That's a job. David's passed it on. Oh, what is it? Missing teenagers. Girls. How old? I don't know but they've stolen some money, too. Oh, how much? Quite a bit, I believe. Poor parents. Yeah. I'll go with them. Not at this hour. Look, they'll be in a hell of a state. They want someone to talk to. Surely Davis already talked to them. No, look, he said that there's no more the police can do at this stage. Tom. Don't worry. Don't worry. I promise you, I won't be long, all right? Bye. Three pairs. Maybe I should take five. Why would you need five? Well, I don't know how long I'm going to be, do I? Well, it's not going to take that long, surely. No, probably not but you never know. Well, you can't be away from the office for five days, can you? No. Well then, what's the point of taking five pairs of underpants? Well, it's only underpants. You don't have to do this, you know. I know. Then why do it? Money, I guess? No, we've got enough. Look, do you want me not to go? That's not the point, surely. Look, I'll give it up next year. You say that every year. Anyway, what else would I do? Read a book? You can't read a book all day. Better make more use than that. Oh, well, if you want to be useful, mow the lawn. But you've got the lawn looking so lovely. Oh, I don't know, Tom. Are you, are you going to go and stay at Chery's? Why would I do that? Well, I thought you might be lonely. Oh, for goodness sake. All right. So, do I pay for you, too? No, no. It's all part of the arrangement. Are you sure? Yes. All right. Look, I'm going to go out to the car. All right, bye. No, Dan, it's not all right. Jesus. Better get going. Two spring rolls. Tom. Can't sleep? Can't sleep. Nothing. Nothing. Tom. Tom. Oh, hi, Susie. Is Dan there? No. No, I'll try him on his mobile. Oh, come on, Dan. I know you know it's me. Answer. No, not going to leave a message. So you want all this done as well? Uh, yes, please. Well, it counts as two so it's going to be extra. How much extra? $2.26 with GST. Oh. Well they didn't say that on the phone. You probably didn't tell them how big it was. I think I would have. Look lady, do you want your linens cleaned or what? Yes, thank you. I do want my sectional cleaned. I wouldn't have booked you if I didn't. Question is do you want to clean it? No. Steve. Doesn't do any good. It's a con. Steve. Come here. What? What? What are you doing? Can't lose that job. Just being honest with her. Yeah, don't be honest. This is a business. You don't be honest in business. I'll say sorry to her. Don't say a bloody thing. Sorry about that. We'll get it done right away. We'll be in and out before you know it. No, now hang on a minute. Hang on. Is that with or without the extra $250 whatever? With. It'll be with. No. No, no thank you. Forget it sorry. Sorry, lady. Look, it does work, really. Truly, it is very effective. And it won't long. I think it just gets mixed up with the one that does all the cleaning. But people love it. Sorry about before. For what? Well, you seem to be making yourselves comfortable. Just get on with it. Please yourselves. She's a bit touchy, isn't she? Oh, hi, Susie. Is Dan back? Oh, he can't still be getting a bun. Has he been back yet? Did you tell them that I called before? Did you tell him that I called before? Well, I'll just try him on his mobile again. Jesus. Oh. Babe? Got to have the latest phone, does everything, could cook you a chook if you wanted it to. Well, here's an idea, Dan. I call, you answer. A phone that answers. Shit. Oh, bugger. Darling. Grace. Grace. Woo-hoo. Yeah, hi, it's me. Think you better come home. Just come home. What does that mean? Don't know. Well, could mean anything. Yes. I mean, did she come home from school? I don't know. We've called? Yes. And? Went straight through to messages. Oh, I don't know. She's probably at Sapphire's place. I don't think so. Why not? Think you better take a look in the bedroom. Whose bedroom? Our bedroom. Why? Just look. You're being very strange. Has Grace robbed us? Us? Yes, us. Well, how much was in there? A bit. How much is a bit? Quite a bit. Well, how much? Well I don't-- they've taken the bloody bank bag. Dan. About $7,000. $7,000? Give or take. In cash? Yes, in cash. Well, that seems like quite a lot. Well, I didn't want to leave it lying around at work, did I? Lying around? Lying around in a safe at work. Well, what about the bank? Well, I was taking it to the bank and-- and-- and I got caught with it. Caught? Yes, caught. She's not going to phone, is she? Don't think so. Should call the police. Suppose so. And what do I say? You tell them that your daughter's missing. And someone stolen $7,000 out of your safe. Oh, God. OK. That's a-- that's a pretty good photo of her. I found that one. Approximate height? I'm not good with that. She'd probably come up to about here. Whatever. Do you want me to use the good China? What? Do you want me to get down mom's good cups? Oh. No, don't know why you'd do that. Well, some of these are chipped. It's not a party, Julie. I know. Do you want a seat, Rosemary? Yeah. Yeah, give her a seat. Thanks. So I-- I just need to get this. Sure. Hello? I just don't understand why they don't just get out there and look. Because they've got to do these things carefully. Excuse me, Mrs. Drake. Is this the most recent photo of Grace you have? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd say so. I might have a more recent one at home. Do you want me to go home and look? Um, well, no. This one was taken this year. I just don't think you could have-- That was at a birthday. I've got one from from Dan's birthday. Do you want me to drive home and get them? That was a fortnight later. I just don't see she could have changed that much in two weeks. It's just my camera takes a better photo. I think this one will do. I could email it to you. It's fine, really. You sure? Yeah. Sorry. Kitchen's a bit cramped. It's not really made for this sort of event. It was um, that was Jennie Ambrose. She said she wants to come over here with Damien. Why? I don't know. She says she wants Damien to talk to us. Damien? Damien, speak. Well, I don't know for sure. Just tell them what you told me. Look, all I said was that they've probably gone to see Death Dog. What's Death Dog? A band. Where? I don't know. Damien. They might be playing in Ceduna. Ceduna? That's days away. I think it is only 1 and 1/2. No, no. Ceduna-- got to be-- it'd be two-- at least 2 and 1/2. Dan. What? I don't really know. They might not be. You told me that they were playing in Ceduna. I think. I really don't know. Can I please go now? Who's Death Dog? They play hardcore. Really? Denise, you in there? Oh, God. It's just that Jenny's going. All right, I'll be there in a minute. Did you want to say goodbye? Good on you, Jenny. You did the right thing, there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, thank you, Jenny. Yes, thank you, Jenny. I'm sure it'll be all right. It's not like her, you know. Sapphire's a good kid. So is Grace. I better go, too. Do you need a lift, Rosemary? No, I'm all right. I drove here. By yourself? Yes, Denise. Because Dan could give you a lift if you need. I'm fine, Denise. Oh, that bloody, tight-lipped-- Let-- Oh, just leave it, Julie, OK? Just leave it. Yeah. Very, very good always, at ball games. Right. And I think-- Rosemary's leaving. Rosemary? Yes, Sapphire's mom, Rosemary. She said she's going to drive herself. I think you better go check. Right. Um, you've met Tom, haven't you? Yeah. Met Tom. On your own? You want a cup of tea? Oh, no. No thanks, Susie. It-- it must be hard. Yeah. I guess the biggest fear is murder? Or rape. Told her that I wouldn't be more worried about rape than murder. Or just never knowing, never finding her. That'd be hard. I mean, they never found Greta's kid. Who's Greta? Oh, you remember Greta. She was-- used to work at Baker's Delight and she kind of shook a bit, especially if she got flustered. That-- that was really weird. Odd kid. Got mixed up in drugs, I think. You don't remember her? No, I don't remember her. You don't remember Greta? Up No. Dan might. Was she unhappy, do you think, Denise? I don't know, Susie. You should try and get some sleep. Don't be stupid. Well, one of us should get some sleep. Why do people always think you should try and get some sleep? I don't know. Why do you think she wrote sorry mom? Because she is. And why not, sorry dad? Don't know. Or, sorry mom and dad? I don't know. I'm going to look. What? Where? Ceduna. We-- we can't do that. Well, I can't stay here either. You can't just go driving into the night. Well, it's better than lying here, isn't it? Well, all right. Then I'm coming, too. The money is the problem. That's what worries me. All that money and a little girl on her own out in the middle of nowhere. Is she sensible? Yes. No. Well, not really. You know, you wouldn't call this sensible. Well, she's as sensible as her father. Would she flash the money around? No. Probably. I mean, she's not likely to be in a pub somewhere, is she? You know, shouting the bar? No. Or is she the sort of teenager who might think, yeah, he looks like a fun sort of a bloke? You know? And go out with him? Or get into a car with him or-- Oh, God. No, no, I don't think so. What do you think, Dan? I don't know. I don't know anymore. No. No, she wouldn't. Right. That's good. That's good. That's good. And now this friend of hers, God, what's her name? Sapphire. Sapphire. Sapphire. Sapphire. That's right. Yeah. They're just good friends, are they? Yes. Friends, that's good. That's good. I mean, you know, you-- you can't take anything for granted these days. Oh, no. Look, they're friends. All right. That's good. That's good. They're just friends. But usually it's nothing, right? Usually it's all about some blow they've had with a boyfriend. A boyfriend you know nothing about and they just turn up at their uncle's. She doesn't have an uncle. Or their aunt's. But this-- this Death Dog stuff, that's good. That gives us some comfort. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Death Dog stuff's good. I don't think we'll need to be checking the dental records on this one. What is the story with the money? Money, didn't bank it. Why not? I hadn't got around to it. Why not? Well I-- I went to the bank on Friday and just as I got to the door they locked it. It was that woman with the glasses. You know her. She put it-- she-- so she saw me. And she just ignored me. Well, what about Monday? I think we need to change banks. Monday. Oh, I forgot. You forgot. Yeah. You forgot you had $7,000? No, I didn't. I just forgot to go to the bank, all right? Why was there so much cash? Because George wanted to pay me in cash. Why? I don't know. It's George. He's always got a reason for things. You give him a special deal? No, I didn't. I didn't. I-- look, I got him a little-- Oh, Dan. What? How special? He-- he's-- nearly paid full price. Full price. Nearly full price. What's happening with our accounts? Well, I haven't paid them. How many of them haven't you paid? Well, I haven't paid any. There's no money in the bank, All right? Well, I didn't know my own daughter was going to rob me, did I? No. Guess you didn't. You asleep? No. You been asleep? No. Don't you want to get out of these? No. Get in your nightie. No. Get you something? Like what? Anything. Cup of tea. No. I would like my daughter back. I know. I'll find here, babe. Come on. I'll make you a cup of tea, OK? No bickies. Who's that? No, it's nothing. Just Rosemary again. Dad used to say the worst time is the night time. What for? Everything. Anything. When did he say that? Whenever there was something wrong. When was there ever anything wrong in your family? It's true though, isn't it? Things do seem better in the mornings, do they? Yeah. Sometimes they seem worse. Had to tell him about the Kit-Kat. Did you tell him? Yeah. What did they say? What? About the Kit-Kat. I'm pleased you told them. Yeah. Yeah, he said-- he said, you'd be surprised how many people try and get away with it. Wonder if they ever chase after them. What? It's not much point chasing after him for a Kit-Kat, is there? I suppose not. So they do get away with it, don't they? I suppose so. All right. All right. Thanks. Right. So Susie's heard from Rosemary. Sapphire's sitting in some police station or something somewhere. And Grace? She's left her at a bus stop with bloke. What bloke? I don't know. Some bloke they met on the way. Well, what bloke? She wouldn't say. Susie says that Sapphire says that we have to ask Grace. Oh, Dan. I'm just telling you what she said, all right? Well, what bus stop? I don't know. Some bus stop on the way. Rosemary's driving up there now to get Sappho. Rosemary's driving by herself? I suppose so, yeah. In her car? I guess so. What? Well, what? Hey. That's her. That's Grace. I don't think so. It is. Oh? It is. Look. Oh, Dan. What's she doing? Stop. Stop the bloody car. What? Careful. Wait till I stop. Don't. Grace. Grace. Denise. Grace. Denise. Grace. Where are you going? Nowhere. What? Nothing What did you say? Nothing. What are you doing? Nothing. Grace's feet stink. They really stink. Can't you do something about it? Look, it's just her shoes. Can you pass me one? See? It's her shoes. Oh, I forgot. Thanks. Made your point? OK. Jump out and put them in the boot. Go on. Go and do it. Where'd she go? You'll have to talk to her. It's all right, darling. It's just smelly feet. Come on. Hey, it's all right. Shit. You have a brother. He's a-- eight years older than you. Yeah. Had him when I was 17. Where is he? Don't know. I've-- I've tried to, but they say he doesn't want to make contact. Can he do that? Apparently. Thanks. Yeah, well, I was going to tell you when he said it was all right but he never did. His name's Jack, at least it was. Named him after his dad. Who was Jack? Oh, just boy that I loved. Least I thought I did. He was all footballer. He had thick, black hair. Does dad know? No. Not yet. Are you going to tell him? Yeah. Yeah. I think I will. Wowie. Hey. Yeah. How cool is this? Good. Right? Wow. Wowie. How cool? Think I'm going to vomit. Yeah, look, Dan, maybe we should just-- No. No, no, no, no, it's-- What? Just-- no, no, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. I'm just-- it's-- it's gone, it's gone back down. I'm-- I'm-- I just-- I need it. I mean-- come on, I really, I really want-- I really want to-- I-- I want to make-- you know, I really want you. Come on. Can we just take-- can we just take one moment? Just-- Look, it really doesn't matter. I think we should just forget that this even happened. What do you mean, forget it? We've get-- we-- we can't forget it. We're not going to forget it. Come on, how can we-- how can we-- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for saying sorry. What's wrong? Kids saying sorry. We'll be all right. Come on. I'm feeling better already. OK? Whoa. I do feel a bit sick. I did-- I had-- had a turkey and sage sausage. Oh, for God's sake. I just-- it just-- What is wrong with you? Come on. Come on. Look, just-- No, listen. Listen. It's perfectly fine if we don't do this, OK? And it's just-- No, no, no. No. Come on. No. We are going to do it, all right? Yes. Yeah. Come on. We've waited, waited so long. We're not going to wait any more. Oh, you smell so good. Really beautiful. Maybe we should have a little shower. I had a shower this morning, Dan. It's only 11:00. That's a stupid idea. Isn't it? It is it a thought, though. Oh, fuck. What? What? Come on, just give me a-- oh come on. I-- I just can't-- oh God, do it. God. Oh, I am such a bloody tool. I'm such a bloody tool. Can't get-- God. Oh. Bloody idiot. I can't even-- anything right, ever. Ever. You'll be all right. Oh, God. I've got you Under my skin. I've got you. Denise called. Any messages? Uh, I just said Denise called twice. Thanks. What did-- did you say where I was? I just said you were out getting a bun. I've got you under my skin. Where are you going now? Just going out for a bun. Want anything? I said to myself, this affair never will go so well. But why should I try to resist when, darling, I know so well. I've got you under my skin. I'd sacrifice anything come what might. Pine palace. Uh, yeah. Hello? What's wrong? So, uh, thanks, inspector. David. David. Give him a call. Oh look, this is the-- Tom Norris. I'm sorry. No, we-- we'll-- we'll be all right. We'll sort it out. You know, I might just grab that. My wife will think it's me. I hope you don't mind me sitting on your bed. No, no. That's all right. What's with the pot? Oh, it's jardiniere. Oh? A jardiniere. They're very expensive. Really? Yeah. You like it? No. Then how come you've got it? My aunt left it to me and my two sisters. Why do you keep it in the safe? Oh, the bloody thing's worth a fortune. My two sisters couldn't agree on what to do with it. One of them was like, oh we-- you know, we have to keep it. It's a family heirloom. And the other one was like, no, no, let's sell it. It got very ugly. So Elaine turns up in Eileen's place with a big Tongan husband, and someone pulls out a knitting needle. So in the end I had to go around there, take the bloody thing, put it in the safe. Problem solved. I have trouble with my sister, too. Oh yeah? Why? She doesn't like me doing this work. Oh yeah? Yeah, and know why? Maybe it's because she's a lesbian. Really? Yeah. Her partner, her girlfriend, she's pretty down on me, too. Don't k now why. How-- how old is your sister? She'll be 67 in June. Not that she'd invite me. Never does. Just has the girls. I'd be happy to go. If I was the only bloke there, it wouldn't worry me but says no. You might feel uncomfortable. Only she comes to mind. I don't get it. How much money was there? About $13,000. Really? How come? How come what? How come you had that much money in the safe? I was going to take it to the bank, all right? But I've been under a lot of pressure. And I was-- you know, I would have gone there this week. I-- I don't know. I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know. Rosemary's leaving. You're going to need to pull over. I need to pee. What, now? Yes, now. Bloody hell. Righto. All right. Can you keep an eye open? Yeah, yeah. Wait a minute. Righto, off you go. Can't sleep? Can't sleep. Ever had an affair, Tom? Not really. You? Not really. I came close once. What happened? Oh, failure of nerves, I guess. Doubt I could have felt any more guilty if I'd done it, if you know what I mean. Yeah. What was her name? Mary. I've never said that name to anyone before. What, no one? No. No. No one. It's quite a release, really. Do you think it's better to-- to do it or not to do it? I don't know. It's not too good not doing it. I know that much. Doesn't go away. I can't stand it. I-- but I can't stop it. And now bloody Grace. I swear, when we find her I'm not going to know whether to hug her or kill her. I just-- So you haven't-- you haven't done it yet? No, no, not really. Pretty close. Denise seems like a good woman. Yes she is, but that's the point. No. She liked my smile, at least she said she did. You have got a good smile. Really? Yeah, for a bloke your age. Yeah. Yeah, it's very genuine, you know? And you-- and your eyes sort of crinkle up at the same time. It's-- it's-- it-- looks good. Well, thank you. Um, what does she do? Works in my shop. Oh. Yeah, I know. She's sort of the manager, really. Uh-huh. It's the sex. Can't stop thinking about it. It's there all the time. All the time. Yeah. I feel like I'm 13 again. She's got me, you know. She knows it. She just has to walk past. I'm gone, you know? It's just this-- it's like like it's in the air. She's doing something with her hair. I don't know if it's a shampoo or something, there's something. Look. I-- I don't know how Denise has missed it so far. Don't-- I think I've got it under control. Don't tell. At least not until you decide which way you're going to jump. No. I suppose not. I tried to tell Nell once. Didn't work. Problem is I tell Denise everything. Oh yeah? Yeah. Just-- just one thing then. How would Grace have been able to break into that safe? She said the combination. Oh, yeah. I couldn't get the body thing to work. Mind you, it might be better if you don't mention that to Denise. Just not right now, anyway. Oh yeah, yeah. Tom. Tom, can you hear me? Tom. Can you get out? Shit. Leave him. Tom. Leave him. What are you supposed to do? Nothing. We can't do nothing. Yeah, it'll stop. Are you supposed to put something in their mouths? No, Dan, just leave him. Shh. Shh, you're all right, mate. Shh. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. Shh. Shh. Hey. Very well. I'm sorry. That hasn't happened for years. That's all right, Tom. There? Yeah. You reckon? It's a bloke, isn't it? No. That's her. You sure? Yes. Stop. I don't think so. Stop the car. No, can't. What are you doing? Wait till I stop. Stop the bloody car. Wait, wait. What are you-- Grace. Grace. Grace. Where do you think you're going? Grace. What's his name? Jamie. Jamie what? Don't know. What do you mean you don't know? I don't know, all right? No, it's not all right. Well, he didn't tell me his second name. Grace. Dan. What? Damn it. Shit, shit, shit, shit. I hope you realized you've caused your father a lot of grief, young lady. Anyway, you better have this back. Where'd he get that? This isn't his. Why's he got it? We just thought we might need them in case something. Just needed him, all right? Well, when you go missing, you lose a lot of privileges and privacy is one of them. I wasn't missing. I wasn't lost. I knew where I was every second of every day. That isn't lost. Well, there is the issue of the money. If you hadn't stolen the money-- I took the money because I needed it. And because it was just as much mine as it was anyone else's in the family. If mom had taken it, would you be treating it as stolen? Or dad? No. No, of course not. But it's just as much mine as is theirs. We didn't treat it as stolen. You said I stole it. You took it. But if mom had taken it, would you be doing all of this? Well, of course not. But you're a lot younger than your mother. Oh, so that's my crime, is that I'm young. Oh, Grace. Sweetheart, we were worried. I know. Well, it's stolen now, isn't it? Well yeah, it's stolen now, but what are you doing about that, dad? Nothing. Where were you on Tuesday morning? At work. Why? Well, I phoned you and Susie said you weren't there. What time was that? About 11:00. I must have stepped out to get a bun or something. How long does it take you to get a bun? I don't know. Why? Well, I phoned you again and she said you still weren't there. What time was that? I don't know. Hey? She's a wonderful woman, your mother. Can you pull over, babe? I need to pee. We've just stopped. I didn't like the look of the toilets. Come on. Hello? Yeah, look, hang on a bit, will you? Hang on. What is it? Yeah? They found your money. I know. Sorry, mate. I might see if I can get some takeaway. Why aren't I allowed to go in? I don't know. It's not fair. No, it's not. She's going to be all right, isn't she? Yeah. Want to pray or something? All right. They're going to take her to Perth. I think they can do more over there. Why aren't they putting their sirens on? I don't know. Why are we stopping? What? Want some brekkie? What do they serve? Don't know. Probably cereal or toast. Yeah. Yeah? All right. Back in a jiffy. My mom died when I was six. They say you get over it. You don't really. You just get used to it. Will dad be long? No, he left when I left. You OK? Mm-hmm. So what happens now? Just go home? Yeah. Yes, darling. Want any ice cream? Got you chocolate. That all right? Yeah. I like strawberry. It's mom who has chocolate. Right. |
