Tommy!
Tommy, wait!
All right, Gabby.
- Whoo! - The party's here!
Come on, come on. I didn't come here to fucking wait.
Come on. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Come on, my Gabs. Come on. Just a little one.
- For me? For me? - No, not for you.
- You know I don't want to. - All right. More for me.
- No, you're not. - No, you're not.
No, you're fucking not.
Hey. Fucking what are we doing?
- Hey! - I'm not fucking waiting.
All right, geezer. How's it going? Wait me turn?
- Back the fuck up. - Oh!
Who's this pedo?
Wait your turn?
- No! - Oh, shit!
What the fuck?
I'll fucking kill him! Fuck you!
I wanna dance. Come on, fucking come on!
- Whoo! - Whoo!
I'll get it then.
Come on, Gabby. Come on.
- I don't want any. - Stop saying no to me.
I'll do it.
That's more like it. Good fucking girl.
Gabby!
Where are you going next? Where are you going next?
- Oh, fuck off. - Where are we going now?
Where are we?
Whoa!
Chill your fucking beans.
Whoo-hoo!
Fucking buzzing!
Fucking shitting me? Get the fuck off him!
- Ow! Don't touch me! - Fucking slag!
- I will break your fucking arm if you do that again! - Fucking hell!
Hey, you getting a bit jealous, yeah?
Not you getting a little bit jealous?
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm fucking off. Hey, you! Hey, you!
- Come home with us. - No!
- Please. - I love me a night walk.
- No, you fucking don't! - Yeah, I fucking do.
- The streets need me. - The streets fucking need you?
The city is mine.
Will you come back!
- Come on! - Where are you going?
Have fun with us!
I am the king! And I'm fucking out!
You all right?
Don't you want to have a look?
- Katrina? - Yeah.
Nice to meet you.
- Please take a seat. - Thanks.
Well, thank you for agreeing to meet me.
It's nice to meet you, yeah.
Um... do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
Of course.
Do you have any children?
No. No.
Uh, do you have any...
distinguishing marks?
I don't understand.
Distinguishing marks. Uh, moles, missing teeth.
- Any tattoos, any deformities? - No, nothing like that.
Finally, do you smoke?
- No. - Wonderful.
It's important we hire someone without any...
- addictions. - I don't have any addictions.
That's fantastic.
Everything seems legal and above board.
If you wouldn't mind just signing here.
Yes, Princess?
Okay, um...
Yeah, I'm sorry. Don't worry. I'll ta... I'll take care of it.
Ms. Rina!
Good morning.
No, we... we said eleven o'clock!
- Uh, yeah. - It's 10:22.
I caught an earlier bus.
You know, the sooner I start, the sooner I finish.
Yeah, but eleven o'clock means eleven o'clock.
Sorry. I won't do it again.
- So, what, you caught the bus? - Yeah, I didn't realize
how far out you are from the city.
Well, that's why I gave you the map!
Oh, never mind. Never mind. Please, follow me. Follow me.
Raise your hands, please.
- May I? - Yeah.
- Uh, could you empty your pockets, please? - Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
Good. Okay.
Ah, no. We don't use phones in the house.
So...
You can put everything else back in your pocket.
Mm.
Your job profile online stated that you were prepared
to perform non-standard tasks.
Oh, no. Please. Please don't look worried.
That's not what I was thinking.
- Oh. - I had something else in mind.
But I can refuse?
It would mean the end of our collaboration.
Uh, confidentiality agreement, however, would still be binding,
whether you choose to work for us or not.
I made you some ginger.
Kathryn, this is Ms. Rina.
Hopefully, she's going to help us out around the house.
Good morning.
Uh...
let me show you the rest.
This room is Kathryn's pride and joy.
We have a lot of Shakespeare here.
Rare editions, mostly inherited.
We moved up north after Kathryn's father passed.
It's much more spacious than our other house.
London has changed. Have you ever been to London?
- Mm-mm. No. - You're not missing much.
This is my son.
Hi. I'm Jonathan.
I'm ten, and I like Disney films and football!
Hi, I'm Katrina.
- You can call me Rina. - Hi. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
Yay!
And this is our bedroom.
Kathryn's in there at the moment,
so we won't disturb her.
Uh, it's crucial that all objects
remain in their place.
My wife hates it when things are out of order.
And she'll, uh, well...
She'll only take it out on me.
Can I come with you?
I'm just going to show Rina the cellar.
I really appreciate you not screaming,
as there really is no cause for concern.
He's just a bit sick and we're gonna make him better.
I can assure you, no one ever has,
nor ever will be harmed in this house.
Ms. Rina, look, I checked the status of your visa.
I ran a background check on you.
I can see you've had a really rough start here.
- I don't know what you mean. - I mean,
especially with your removal order.
That is being reconsidered.
I'm sure it is.
But with your past,
it might not be so easy for a girl from Macedonia.
Listen.
I'm not judgmental.
And I'm sure you...
you didn't have much of a choice doing what you were doing.
Would you like me to
have a word with my friend at the Home Office?
No. No, please don't.
I'm sorting it out.
Very well.
There'll be no outside cleaning products
brought into the house.
The products we use are eco-friendly,
non-toxic, chemical free. We are a zero-waste household.
We take this very seriously.
Please, take off your jacket.
And when you do clean the cellar,
please remember not to take to heart
anything Tommy may say to you in a state of stress.
And if you do feel threatened,
please don't hesitate to use these items.
Safety off.
Safety on.
As for the spray, that's pretty obvious, really.
Just mind your own eyes.
Oh, don't be scared.
I promise you.
You'll not be harmed in this house.
Hey!
Who the fuck are you?
Listen, listen, come here! Undo me! All right?
Please, I feel dead sick. Just come here and undo me.
Oi! Oi! What are you? Deaf?
Don't fucking ignore me! Look at me.
Just come and help me out. Quickly, before they come back.
Just come and undo it.
Please, quickly, while they're away.
No, no, no! Fuck!
Miss Rina? Miss Rina? Is...
Sorry. Did everything go all right?
Yeah. I only went down there to, you know, put on the washing.
Look, I know it may look unconventional,
but believe me, um, we won't be keeping him there for long.
Tommy's going through a rebellious phase,
you understand?
Everywhere is lovely and clean. Really.
Thank you. You've done a really lovely job.
Um, so, I think that's it for today.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Good, good. I'll see you on Thursday.
Two days a week? Like in the contract?
- Yeah. - Yes?
- Yes. Uh, Thursday. Great. - Thank you.
Studies have shown classical music
can improve memory and reduce stress
- to overall mental well-being...
...and even improve children's performance in school.
Knock, knock.
- Who's there? - Ida.
- Ida who? - Ida like to be your friend.
Sunshine made the pizza.
You have to eat something, Tommy,
so you might as well eat this.
That wasn't very nice.
I'm gonna fuck you up so badly when I get out of here.
Just watch. I'm gonna fucking twat you.
I swear down, I'm gonna fucking rip off your skull,
and then I'm gonna stab you in the dick.
Did... did he like the pizza, Dad?
Yes. Yes, he loved it.
What have you done?
I have everything under control.
What the fuck did you electrocute me for?
It was self-defense, Tommy.
We're watching porn together now?
Let's relive some of your greatest hits, shall we?
Here we fucking go!
No way!
Oh, my days!
Oh, this is so jokes!
I got so many views on this one, you know.
Tell me that's not the sickest thing you ever saw.
Look at that!
No! No! Yes!
Fucking mad lad! Go on, you...
Absolute scenes, mate! Look at me.
Criminal damage. Driving under the influence.
Taking without the owner's consent.
Reckless endangerment.
And do you think all of this is funny?
Did I fucking stutter?
Come on! That's pretty sick. Don't even lie.
Yes, you're right. Yes, it is sick.
I should have been a fucking movie star.
This is not a movie, Tommy. This is real life.
Did you know that over 3,551 accidents
happen each year
due to drunk-driving-related incidents in the UK alone?
Wow, man, you really are one talented motherfucker.
There are 11 cases of deaths...
Just keep watching.
And please, don't use the M-word.
Shockingly, one in 20 fatal crashes in the UK
is attributed to drunk driving.
So, stay safe.
Chapter Two.
When you feel anger or aggression rising,
take a moment to pause before responding.
A few deep breaths or counting to ten
can help you regain control
and prevent an impulsive, aggressive reaction.
Practice compassionate communication...
...using language that promotes understanding
- rather than division. - No!
- What the... - When frustrated, try to frame your thoughts
in a way that fosters connection.
Princess,
would you pop down with me to see him?
Our first lecture went really well,
but I'm sure he'd benefit
from seeing someone other than just myself.
It'll do you good.
I promise.
Tommy.
Tommy, what happened to your toilet?
What have you done, Tommy?
Kathryn! Go upstairs, please!
Princess, go upstairs!
I'm really sorry about that.
That was my fault. That was too soon.
Can I run you a bath?
I promise, I'll take care of this.
- Dad? - Yes, Sunshine?
- It... It doesn't matter. - No, it does matter.
Go on. What were you going to say?
Do... Do you think Charlie would mind if I read his comics?
I think he'll be fine with that.
But just... don't tell your mother, okay?
It'll be our little secret.
Thank you.
Oh, awesome. You're moving in with me?
You pedo!
You got everything in there? Pajamas, toothbrush, lubricants?
I don't appreciate the way you've violated my wife.
Violated? Are you mad?
- You owe her an apology. - Do I fuck.
You two should be apologizing to me.
I'm the bloody victim here.
That's the problem with your generation.
You always tend to gravitate towards some kind of victimhood.
I'm gonna fucking obliterate you the second I get out of here!
I swear down! You're already dead, you scum!
I'm gonna fucking rip off your skull.
I'm gonna fucking rip off your wife's skull
and make your son fucking watch it.
Your weird, little, fucking ugly son.
Fucking nonce!
I'm gonna grab that fucking slag
of a wife of yours.
I'm gonna fucking chop her head off
and fucking cut her into pieces,
and fucking feed her to you, you scumbag, fucking cunt!
I absolutely hate every single...
Ow! Ow, what the fuck?
The fuck? Fuck.
Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy!
Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy!
Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy! Bad boy!
Bad boy!
Dad?
Is everything okay?
Everything's fine, Sunshine.
Nothing for you to worry about.
I've done my algebra and... and my geography.
Do you think I could play with Tommy soon?
- Absolutely. - We don't have to play.
Maybe we could watch a film with him.
I... I think that's a wonderful idea.
But maybe not just yet.
Have I done something wrong, Daddy?
Look who's back.
I get it. Keep doing your thing.
You clearly don't have a problem working in fucking Guantanamo.
- I can't help you. - Fucking knew you were foreign!
I could tell just from looking at your ugly face.
You fucking bitch!
Go back to your own country, you leech!
Piece of shit.
Ms. Rina,
is Tommy being unpleasant to you?
Broke my heart when I had to discipline you.
But you didn't give me a choice.
The way you behave is completely unacceptable.
We treat each other with respect in this house.
Now, you owe Ms. Rina an apology.
You're a fucking sick bastard, you.
I'm sorry. No! No, no, no. I'm sorry, okay?
- I didn't mean it. - Not to me.
Well?
I won't do it again.
There. See?
Wasn't so difficult, was it?
- Is that all? - Yes, Ms. Rina,
thank you very much.
I brought you some painkillers.
And Sunshine has prepared a little surprise for you.
Tommy...
we're not psychopaths.
That should do.
Oh, a movie. Awesome. What are we gonna watch?
Me shitting the bed when I was four?
Something a bit more glorious.
The Guns of Navarone. War classic.
A story of courage and friendship against all odds.
Actually, do you mind if we watch something else?
And what would that be?
Kes maybe?
It's Charlie's favorite film.
You're the programmer today, Sunshine.
I think that's a wonderful choice.
Come on, Kes!
Kes!
This is the best part. Come sit.
Well done, Casper.
The most exciting thing I've ever seen in my life.
Great.
Thrill of a lifetime, lad.
Let's have a look.
Isn't it beautifully marked?
Think I've had enough.
Take me down.
Pause.
Did you like it?
As if I weren't depressed enough living in a dungeon.
Now, can I get some sleep?
Of all the films he could have chosen...
I guess it just always reminds me of him.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I dreamt about him again last night.
He was walking through the gate, up the driveway,
and he was coming up to visit us,
and he looked so healthy.
So happy.
My Sparkle...
Cocaine is a powerful
and dangerous drug.
It may offer a brief sense of euphoria,
but the consequences are severe.
Damaged health, broken families,
and lost futures.
It attacks the body and clouds the mind.
Be smart. Stay away from cocaine
and stick to safe, healthy choices.
Lesson number four.
Don't let fear to take hold.
Fear always brings self-destruction.
Let go of fear.
Everything that surrounds you
is filled with love and trust.
You are not alone. You are safe.
Open your mind and invite progress.
Progress is impossible without change.
And those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy,
not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
I would like to apologize for what I did to you.
I did not behave in the way I should have.
And for that I want to apologize and say sorry.
I am very ashamed of myself
and I will not...
I promise not to do it again.
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
Yeah.
You're not supposed to throw piss at people, you know.
Yes, Tommy, I know.
Apology accepted.
I'm so proud of you, Tommy.
This isn't easy for all of us, you know.
But now I'm more hopeful that you appreciate
what it is we're trying to do for you.
For fuck's sake! What now?
I noticed that you were squinting during the film.
No, I can see fine.
Indulge me.
Whatever.
It's the same.
Fuck me!
This shit's HD! As if!
I can see everything well better.
I am glad.
Thanks... Kathryn.
Go on.
Here we go!
What's your point?
Like, I don't get it.
Let me ask both of you.
What do you think my probation officer is gonna do
when she realizes I haven't checked in with her?
They're... they're gonna start looking for me, you know.
Tommy, do you really think
I didn't run a background check on you?
- What's that supposed to mean? - There's no probation officer.
You've managed to get away with all your shenanigans.
It's quite impressive, really.
How you've managed to aimlessly float
through your whole life, completely unnoticed.
It should be long enough now that you can use the bathroom.
First things first.
- Thank fuck for that. - Why did you do that?
You try listening to that for a while,
and see if your head won't explode.
It's the calming sounds of nature.
I thought you might find it peaceful.
I've brought you some clothes.
And this. So you don't get horribly bored.
I don't read.
Well, this is usually read by 16-year-olds,
so I didn't think it would be too difficult for you.
It's not gonna be very difficult for me.
I'm not fucking thick.
Who reads books?
What's it even about? Some bloke with a tattoo?
Yes. Like you.
- May I help you? - Hi. Parcel for you.
Your signature.
Heavy.
I should close the gate.
Sure.
- Bye. Have a nice day. - Thank you.
Good boy, Tommy.
Good boy.
Sunshine...
You must never open the gate.
- I was just trying to... - It's all right. Never.
My darling.
I'm sorry.
Chris.
I found these in Jonathan's pocket
in the washing basket.
I thought I'd cleared everything out.
I'm so sorry.
Were you reading Charlie's comics?
Yeah.
You were supposed to leave them downstairs.
It was meant to be our little secret.
They're just comics, Dad.
What did you want?
I just wanted to see if everything was okay.
You know, you, uh...
feeling stressed out?
No. Not really.
No? So...
Why have you started smoking?
Dad, I... I just found them.
So you've just been carrying them around?
Is that right?
Yeah.
So why are you getting upset?
Because I...
I also smoked one, but I won't do it again.
Can I share something with you?
When I was just a little bit older than you,
I tried a cigarette.
But the most important thing
is that you didn't like it, and you won't do it again.
Is that right?
Good boy.
Daddy isn't finished yet.
You know what the problem is, Sunshine?
You looked Daddy in the eyes and you lied to him.
There's no punishment for the truth.
But there was no truth here at first.
So what has to happen?
Punishment?
No. My... my... my throat.
Never mind, my darling. Keep smoking.
Dad...
I can't breathe.
- Carry on. - Please...
Jonathan.
Destroy what destroys you.
We love you very much.
You all right?
Can I have a cig?
I don't smoke.
I know a smoker when I see one.
Listen.
I'm being serious now, okay?
I'm sorry about what happened.
You're just as fucked as I am.
I get that now.
I didn't mean to be such a dickhead.
Chris told me to give you some more toilet paper.
Remind me before I go.
How about some chewing gum?
Legend!
Hey.
Whereabouts is this place?
I'm not asking for the address. Just more or less.
Don't I have a right to know where I am?
Dad.
Can I have some help?
Not just yet, Sunshine. I have to help Tommy first.
- Afternoon. - Afternoon, Constable.
- I beg your pardon? - Stop fucking around.
You're not even trying to hide it.
You can only stink more of a copper
if you read me my rights.
Did you get bored giving people speeding tickets
and decided to start torturing 'em?
Torturing people sounds rather bold
coming from someone with a record like yours
wouldn't you say?
I've never nabbed some random kid off the street,
tied them up in a basement, and abused them.
Don't be putting me in your category.
I appreciate that.
Level with me a minute. Please!
If you let me go now, I swear down,
I won't tell anyone nothing!
I'm not a snitch. I won't hurt you.
I'll leave you alone, and walk away
and forget any of this ever happened.
Please!
I swear down. I'm not joking!
My parents, my family, my mates,
they're all probably dying of worry.
And they'll comb through every fucking inch to find me.
- Everything will be fine. - No. It's not.
I'm chained in a fucking basement.
Everything isn't gonna be fine,
Christopher, you fucking dickhead!
Relax, Tommy, please.
We have a lot of time to start liking each other.
You're both not right in the head.
Yeah, who's this little lad?
Who's this little mate here?
Yo, what you saying?
You all right, son?
- Yeah, I'm good. No, I'm all right. You a bit lost?
You look like you're shaking.
Here. Do us a favor. Can you give us the time?
- What? - Give us the time, son.
Get your fucking phone out. Let me have a look.
Get your fucking phone out and let me have a fucking look.
- I'm in a hurry. - You don't look like
you're in a fucking hurry.
Do you know who you're fucking talking to?
Get your fucking arms out.
Put your fucking hands right there.
Here, hold his fucking arm.
No fucking way.
You gotta be fucking joking me!
Me fucking nan's got a better one than that.
You fucking little weirdo.
- Oh! - Oh, shit!
No! No! No! Oh, he's crying.
Is he crying? Is he crying?
You looking for mummy? You looking for fucking mummy?
Look at me! Fucking look at me when I'm talking to you.
You're on your own.
No one's coming.
No one's coming to save you now.
You're scared, aren't you? You're all on your fucking own.
I think I've had enough.
Cheer up! Come on now, cheer up.
He's fucking scared.
A plus B squared equals A squared plus 2AB,
equals 2AB squared. Yeah. Do you understand?
Do you understand? Do you understand?
Well, you're not stupid
because you've answered all the other questions correct.
So you're not stupid. So don't pretend to be stupid,
- and listen to me. - I...
A squared plus B squared equals A squared...
Chris.
Let me take over.
Do you not have something else to do?
Would you like anything else?
It'd be nice to sit at a table like a normal person.
Not like a dog. Do you know what I mean?
You read it?
Many years ago.
Some of the words in here, man...
The fuck does "in-tri-cate" mean?
Intricate.
Give me the full sentence.
"It was a riot of rockets, and fountains, and people,
in such intricate detail and color
that you could hear the voices murmuring,
small and muted from the crowds that inhabited his body."
Okay.
So, from that description,
you could say that the tattoos were detailed.
- Yeah. - So...
"Intricate" must mean really...
- Detailed? - Good.
See? You're not so stupid after all, are you?
Not just a pretty face.
Here, if I read your book,
will you hook me up with the footie scores?
And the league table in general?
It's dead weird not knowing what's going on.
I'll tell you what. I'll go one better.
For every book you read, I'll buy you a beer.
A beer?
A non-alcoholic beer.
Kathryn.
The language is still a problem, but...
at least he's reading.
I think it's time.
Give us a sec!
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday, dear Tommy ♪
Wow.
Blow out the candles and... and make a wish.
But... but don't say it out loud.
Yay!
Jonathan baked all day yesterday.
How is it?
Fucking spot on!
Oh, I mean, it's very good.
Well, we were all wondering what we might do
to celebrate your birthday,
and we came up with a brilliant idea.
And we guarantee that you'll be delighted.
Cool.
We just have to do one little thing first.
What's that?
Are you fucking joking?
Me head fucking wrecks after that. Can you not?
Oh, no, no. We... we promise that you won't regret it.
Will he?
La! Look! He's awake.
Where are we?
Well, we decided your birthday was too important
to be spent indoors.
- Huh. - Do you like steak?
Yeah.
So, I was once seeing this... Fuck me.
- Tommy... - That's good!
- Language. - Sorry.
So, I was once seeing this gal. Boy, was she freaky.
Every time I clapped her cheeks,
- I always used to... - Sorry. What does "clapping cheeks" mean?
I'll tell you later.
After I was finished,
- I always used to get a bit... - Tommy.
Your hair's grown such a lot. Would you like me to cut it?
- No. I like it as it is. - Me too.
You're a very good looking fellow.
It's a bit shit, this one.
I can't stand Austen.
Why you making me read it?
I think I just wanted to see how far you'd get.
Here you are, Johnny, I'll give you a game.
- Bat's just there. - All right.
You okay with losing?
Okay with losing? Hit me!
Whoa! Whoa-hoo-hoo!
Now we're talking. Oh, no!
Ah. Come on, you gotta do better than that.
Oh, come on!
That was over my head. I couldn't reach that.
Whoo-hoo!
You understand we have to go back
the way we came, don't you, Tommy?
Yeah.
Shame to be going back.
All right. Hit me with the chloro.
Smells wonderfully sweet, doesn't it?
You're awake.
Please, follow me.
There'll be two sections
which will almost provide you access
to the entire house.
First section will provide you access
from your bedroom to the toilet.
The second section, which I'm still working on,
will give you access to the downstairs.
The locks
are there for everybody's safety.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
It's great.
But, I am still on a lead, aren't I?
Please don't see it as a sign of...
distrust.
Look at it the other way.
As a sign of our trust in you and the progress you've made.
Yesterday, you were in the cellar
and now you can roam around the house.
Besides, trust isn't black and white.
Trust is... It's a process.
And it has to be built.
We really are so happy
with the wonderful guy you're turning out to be, Tommy.
Really, you make us so proud.
So proud that I gave you my special bell.
Which I hope you like.
Okay, let's see. Yeah, same size. Yep.
Okay. Yep, thank you.
So, once I remove the lock,
it gives you total access to the whole of the downstairs.
Which means you can now, uh,
sit at the... the dining table
and eat your dinner, like you said.
Remember, you said you wanted to be able to sit at the table.
Remember?
Also, you now have access to the living room,
where we can, uh...
Well, you can... you can sit, and play games, and read books.
And we can... we can watch films...
like a proper family.
Yeah?
Look at this.
Whoo-hoo!
Jonathan, come here.
- Ready? - Ready!
Here we go. Yeah!
- It works. - Do you like it?
Yeah. It's wicked.
Ah, nearly.
- Johnny boy? - Yeah?
Whose are these?
They've always been there. We bought it second-hand.
This room used to belong to someone, didn't it?
Yes.
Who?
Sunshine?
Okay. I'll be back after my bath.
Rina.
You're a bit out of sorts today, aren't you?
Like, more than usual.
You know, I'd beat the shit out of anyone
making you feel this miserable.
I'd do that for you.
They'd just have to come here to fight me, wouldn't they?
Mm. Thank you.
I have to keep this information in mind, you know?
I fancy some telly time.
- Can you let me through? - I'm afraid I can't.
Ah, don't worry about that. I'll leave you to it.
I can punch it in if you just tell me the...
Uh... but I... I don't remember.
Come on. It's only four digits.
Really. I don't know.
Oh, I see.
You just want to keep me up here with you, don't you?
I don't know.
Sorry.
Can you touch the books?
And the couch?
A bit tight.
Let's see.
Seven, eight inches extension.
- Chris. - Yeah?
I've been thinking.
Oh, careful.
We'll all be in trouble.
Do you ever do anything together?
What you mean? We do lots of stuff together.
Yeah, but like...
husband and wife.
You're obviously a bit under the thumb.
Don't you wanna mix it up a bit?
It's none of your business.
Well, I was only asking.
Yeah, well, just don't.
I'm gonna make some tea.
- Would you like a cup? - Nah, you're all right.
- Shit. - Rina?
It's six o'clock.
You're usually ready and running out of the door by now.
Yeah, sorry.
Jonathan, just turn down the music.
Could you go upstairs, my darling, to your room?
Why? But I... I'm... I'm playing chess with Dad.
Do what your mum says, Johnny.
Fine.
Thank you.
Rina, come and sit down.
What's wrong? What's going on?
I think I am...
I'm being watched.
- Followed. - By whom?
Some man, I...
I don't know exactly.
I think they work for the person
who used to employ me, and...
I think they've found me again.
I mean, you can't come back and forth here on your own.
What can I do? What can I do?
I don't want to disappear, you know?
Well, you can move in here.
It's only temporary.
You can move in until we know that you're safe.
The only thing is that there's...
The only space that we have right now is in the cellar,
and that's not really suitable.
Are you joking?
No. I... I couldn't. I couldn't.
Oh, I won't take no for an answer, Rina.
She really doesn't. I can tell ya.
Uh, there's a shelter I can go to in town.
No. No.
They helped me move.
You don't need charity when you have family.
We're your family.
It's really like an upmarket Travelodge down there.
Just avoid sniffing anything they put near your nose.
Tommy.
Stay with us.
- I... - What you doing here?
You got your own shower downstairs.
Yeah, but, uh, there is no hot water, you know.
Hey! Hey.
My eyes are up here.
Are they though?
Sweet fucking dreams.
It's okay.
I'll go.
- Oh! - Tommy!
Oh.
Uh, use the bathroom for that kind of thing.
Maybe run the water at the same time.
Your suggestion got me thinking.
Maybe I should be more romantic with Kathryn.
I've had an idea,
but I'll need help from you and Miss Rina.
All right.
Thank you.
Rina?
Let me take it.
- Here you go. - Look at that.
It's like toxic waste.
What do you think?
Tastes like toxic waste.
Kathryn,
there's something I wanted to talk to you about.
Would you come with me for a second?
Absolutely.
They're all off their face in that place, right?
Yes.
- Getting absolutely fucked. - That's right.
And they're so fucked up, they don't worry about now.
'Cause if you're off your head all the time,
why do anything about it?
Do you know what I mean?
Perhaps that's one of the questions
that Huxley pose in the book.
Which is better?
Blissful stupor, or dealing with...
sober reality?
Yeah.
I get it.
Drugs are a form of escapism, Tommy.
From people's problems, and also from...
everything that's important in life.
And not just from things. From people.
People can run away from people,
even those who love them very much.
And it can hurt.
Life's shit sometimes so you have to though.
It's your only chance to...
get out your head.
A holiday.
You're reading To Kill a Mockingbird.
Yeah.
I was actually supposed to read that at school,
but I never got around to it.
You were just too busy causing trouble.
- You know how it is. - I don't.
We can talk about that one if you like.
I haven't finished it yet.

Rina, Rina, you've gotta help me, all right?
Just... You see that? You see that kitchen drawer
where they keep lots of forks and shit?
Get me something long and thin.
Quickly, please. Before Jonathan comes back.
I can't. You know that.
I should report you for this to Chris.

Please.

- How's it going? - Amazingly.
Mum's really pleased, and I...
I don't think I've seen Dad this happy in a long time, so...
Thank you, Tommy, for, you know, telling Dad to do it.
I'm happy for him too.
Now, come on. Let's give 'em some privacy.
Come on.
- Knock, knock. - Come in.
You're supposed to say, "Who's there?"
Brought you some... some cookies and some hot chocolate.
Sound. Thanks.
Ooh!
You know...
I'll never forget what you've done.
I haven't seen Kathryn that happy for years.
I might even get me leg over.
- Thank you. - Don't thank me.
Thank yourself.
You did all of this for her.
Yeah.
Why me?
- What do you mean? - Why did you take me?
I know someone else used to live here.
I know you kept another guy chained up here before me.
Never kept anyone here. No one else was chained up.
What did you do to him?
You don't know what you're talking about.
Oh!
Oh.
Right, come on. Round these up. Right.
Show me a card trick. Go on, impress me.
Excuse me?
- Go. Go! - Rina!
- Get up! - What?
- Get up! - What's happening?
- Get up! Get up! Go! - What?
Hey! Who the fuck are you?
Get out of my house! Get out!
Get out of our house!
Kathryn, I'm so sorry.
These are my family.
I'm so sorry.
I think I have to go get my things packed up.
No! Fuck no!
- You're not going anywhere. - You can't.
I'm here to take my lump.
4-2-0-1.
- Get off her! Get off! - Get the fuck off her!
Get off him!
- No! Stop it! Tommy! - Tommy!
- Get off him! - Tommy!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
I lost Rina.
Psst.
Sunshine. Come on. It's time for bed.
Goodnight, Tommy.
How are you feeling?
I'm so proud of you, son.
You behaved like a real man.
You protected this family today.
You.
And I'll never forget that.
Thank you.
And don't you worry.
I promise, it'll never happen again.
First thing tomorrow morning,
I'll get us the best home security system
money can buy.
CCTV cameras, we'll get motion sensors,
bars.
You can help me.
We'll do it together.
Like father and son.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good lad.
Four, two, zero, one.
Tommy, what are you doing?
Tommy, stop. I have the keys! Tommy, please.
Come on. You're gonna wake Jonathan!
Fuck.
Tommy! Tommy, look. Tommy.
Look, you've been... you've been doing so well.
We're all very proud of you.
Just... just...
Just give me the gun, son, please.
Jonathan's just fallen asleep.
So, you'd better be very, very quiet...
otherwise one of you is going to have to sing to him again
because I'm not going to.
Kathryn, please stay back.
Please, Kathryn. Stay back.
You don't want to leave.
But you're not my family.
This isn't real.
You kept me chained in a fucking basement.
I've been hanging from your fucking ceiling.
You beat me up.
You've used me like a fucking puppet.
I am my own man.
I'm not some dog you can just take in.
I'm a real fucking person.
My darling, let's talk about this in the morning.
Tonight you can sleep without your chain.
I want to leave.
- Do you want a television? - No! I want to go home!
I want to fucking live!
- What about Jonathan? - Don't do that!
Do you know how fucked you are?
He's actually a decent kid,
and you're gonna fucking ruin his head,
just like you did the other one.
- Hey. - Go to your room.
Go to your room, Sparkle.
You don't get it.
It's not my room.
It's his room.
And I don't know what the fuck you did to him...
but I'm never gonna be him.
Princess.
It's over.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
We have to let him go.
Remember what happened last time?
No!
Kathryn, no! Please!
No!
No.
Tommy...
In your original statement
from the hospital,
you said that you were taken by some family.
It says here that you were a replacement for their son.
Oh, I was off me face at the hospital
- on all the drugs they gave me. - Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm still coming.
I made that shit up.
All right, so...
So, where have you been all this time then, Tommy?
Out and about, innit?
Out and about for a couple of months?
Look, I... I...
needed to be on me own for a bit,
sort myself out, you know?
Stay out of trouble.
Bit of freedom.
Were you with anyone else?
Uh, a mate.
All right, can I get a name for this mate?
Jonathan.
He's like a brother to me.
We go way back.
Right. And where is he now?
Minding his own business.
Just doing his own shit, I suppose.
Are you sure you don't want anything to drink?
No. Uh, I think I'm done here.
I'll close down the missing person's report.
You didn't have to report me.
Did you report him too?
Uh... Well,
I definitely text you a couple of times,
but there was no answer, so I...
Who was it then?
The file says it was a Gabby Tate who reported it.
Is she your girlfriend?
Just a mate.
Well, very lucky boy, Tommy.
You know, most people that get reported missing,
we end up fishing them out the river.
Yeah.
Lucky me.
Thank you.
You all right, Gabs?
Where are we going?
You'll see.
I'll drive.
All right.
Put that on.
The truth is, I wish I could disappear, Tommy.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
It smells dead sweet, don't it?
Mm-hmm.
