Time for your session, Joni.

We're going to do something else today.

Are you okay with that, Joni?

I thought we might try something a little bit different.

I've been doing some reading on how seances work.

Could you show me how you did it?

I think so.

Okay.

First we have to... invite a spirit.

Okay? Now we ask a question.

My name is Zara, with a Z.

What's your name?

Hi, Levi.

Levi, can you play a game with us?

Now, I wonder, will Levi still be able

to move the glass?

How will we know what he's trying to tell us?

Should we continue?

Okay.

Are you still there, Levi?

Is there something you'd like to ask?

Levi... Where's Gracie?

What do you see, Joanie?

Does it make any sense?

Huh.

Have you slept?

No, not really.

Bob said there was some excitement during the night.

An understatement?

I slept like a baby.

Well,

I'm dying to hear Mina's version of events.

I'm sure you'll tell it better.

Well, you're coming with me to the Darling's and then I think you and me

sit down and have a bit of a chat.

Great. I love our chat.

You know sarcasm is the lowest form of humour yet, I know.

Lulu at the bed.

Did she? I could do that. I've got it. I said I've got it. Okay.

Hey, babe. You all right?

What did you have at night last night?

I had a bad dream.

Can you tell me about it?

There was something scary in the forest.

We're going to go home really soon, okay?

Promise.

Why do I have to do this?

Well, think about it as part of the consequences from last night.

Pinnate of just little bullshit.

I don't even know, James, darling. It's just some random old man. It's not some

random.

Okay, he meant a lot growing up.

To you. To the town, Mina. He helped a lot of people through the church,

jobs. Then you do it. Oh, yeah.

You need to learn to care for your community, Mina. The world doesn't

around you. I do care.

This is not my community.

You need to stop pushing me.

What? Mina, I'm so close to losing it right now.

Fine.

But I'm only doing it this one time.

And I'm not putting in any expression.

Dad?

Joanie's here, and she brought her daughter, Mina, to read for you.

Dad, I said it's Joanie. Don't shout more. I heard you the first time.

He's been reading this together with Frankie.

Dad, you enjoyed this? Yes, yes, yes.

Tripling water had made a pool, deep and beautiful.

And delicate ferns had crept tenderly to fringe its edge.

The black thorn built among the grass -like reeds.

The wild duck made frequent dark zigzag lines against the sky. From the trees,

the bellbird, the coachwhip, the twinger filled the air with sound.

If not with music.

And the black snake, the brown snake, the whip, the diamond, the death -addled

rod gently among the bones and muscles, and held themselves until they were in

the spot.

I swear,

Peter, only mow the grass when you're here.

What? Why?

Duh, he's showing off for you.

Don't be stupid.

He's hot, yeah.

He was your cousin.

Well, you admit it. He's hot, though.

He always looks so sad.

Tell me how his parents died again.

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Gracie!

Ask me what?

Go on. Ask him. He doesn't mind.

What don't I mind?

Nothing.

Just don't listen to her. It's evening.

You took my locket. This offer is from gave it to me. Why? Don't touch me. Give

it back.

Ow! What the fuck? Ow!

Stop! Stop!

Just stop.

I'm fucking bleeding, bitch.

Hey!

She started it. No, I didn't.

You better go home, Johnny.

Well... Do your penance.

Forgive me, Lord, for my sins.

Forgive the sins of my soul and the sins of my body.

I was sacred, and I am Lord.

Thank you.

Bob's taking us for gelati via the scenic route.

Now that I can get a double goop.

Double? Was it torture, darling?

It was fine.

It was actually quite nice.

Well, well, well. The mysteries of dementia.

Though some people say it makes people a little more... Careful, Patty.

Tolerable.

You coming for gelati?

Well, Mina's supposed to be feeling the consequences.

Quality mother -daughter timing.

Well... I won't get in the way of your plan.

Go on.

You sit back there and hold on tight.

That's the way. Okay, well, I'm going to go out for a bit, so I'll see you

later. Good girl, Lou. Hold on.

Okay. Off we go. Bye, Mom.

Here we go. This is fun.

Can you tell me again what happened in the forest?

I already told you.

So the killer, Levi...

He got out of the game and he possessed your friend.

You'd believe it if you saw it. I'd believe you saw something truly

out there. I do.

But there's a perfectly rational explanation.

Explain it to me, then.

You can't, can you?

Because it wasn't just me. Mina saw it as well. And what about Caitlin and

Sienna and the others who were actually playing?

Talk to them. You'll see.

I'd like to. I will.

I really want to understand what's going on.

Bye.

Mum, anything new?

No.

I promised her that I would speak with the other kids and I would like to do

that. Can you set that up for me?

That's going to be a tough sell. I mean, you know your Caitlin's mum is, right?

What?

Lucky you're not afraid of the Samantha's anymore.

Hmm.

Okay.

Hand me some contacts?

Yeah.

Hi, Samantha.

Janie! So nice to see you.

Jay has actually asked if I could just come and speak with the other kids after

the party last night.

Yeah, Katie said they were holding a vigil.

How's your feelings today?

Bit of hyper -excitement, that's all.

Caitlin! Don't do drugs.

Could I have a quick word with her?

Oh, hon, I don't know if that would be appropriate.

Oh.

I don't mean to be rude, but Katie's still upset since her dad left.

I don't want anyone upsetting her more.

I didn't know that. I'm sorry.

It wasn't another woman, if that's what you were thinking.

Pokies.

Hey, um, are you Lewis?

I'm not talking to any more cops.

I'm not a cop. Actually, I'm a friend of Frankie's.

You ever have an hallucination before?

I mean, yeah.

Once on Liquid Acid, I saw a dragon in some moth.

Pixies, normal shit, you know?

But what happened at the party, that was different.

Really?

What happened?

Well, we were all playing just for laughs, you know?

Then Caitlin started, like, fitting. I thought she was faking it at first,

but...

Then it hit me too.

You think there's a chance it was just a bad trip?

Maybe, but half the girls didn't take anything, so... And have you had

traumatic happen in your lives recently?

Like a car accident or lost? More traumatic than our best friend going

and a burnt fucking skeleton showing up.

I'm grounded.

My mum's more into guilt tripping.

You know, like, do you feel like you've let yourself down?

Could be worse, I guess.

She's also making me read to the elderly.

James Darling?

Yeah.

Frankie used to do that. He thought she was greasy half the time.

So creepy.

I don't know.

Kind of sweet.

And sad.

Your mom's been talking to Caitlin and the others.

She's freaking everyone out.

Sorry.

You know, they're doing a stay -once the night Gracie disappeared.

What?

But mom doesn't believe in that stuff.

Caitlin's mom told her they had to lock your mom up in a lunatic asylum.

God, what is Caitlin's problem? I mean, I told her it was bullshit, but...

Yeah, go ahead.

Ruth, darling, you've been spotted out on the old fire trail. Can you check

she's okay?

Uh, yeah, copy that.

Hey. What?

Christ. Sorry.

You scared me.

You going to help?

Mum was so good.

She never gave up hope Gracie was alive.

Never stopped looking, campaigning, telling anyone he'd listen.

Laura took Mum.

They're still every day.

Mum prayed every day.

You know the carpet there.

Begging God to bring Gracie home.

Every day for 27 years.

Her body was less than 5km away the whole time.

What kind of a God?

Can we play truth or dare?

Dare.

Truth.

Is it true that Mum and Gracie used to do seances?

I see.

It's what everyone's saying.

It was a tragedy what happened to Gracie.

A horrible crime.

There's rumours that they were messing with spirits. You believe in that stuff,

right?

I believe there are forces out there, things that we don't totally understand.

So you do?

Spirits didn't take Gracie away. No.

A man did that.

How do you know it was a man?

Statistics.

Did Mum go to an insane asylum?

That's an unkind way of putting it. Who told you that?

Caitlin's mum told Caitlin and then she told Raffi.

Your mother was traumatised.

I tried to help her, but in this town, gossip, the reminders,

she didn't stand a chance.

Hello.

Um, where is Paddy?

Up the back.

Have you eaten?

Yeah. Okay, well, dishwasher and teeth now.

Teeth now, please.

Excuse me.

How are you feeling?

What?

I know you don't need...

Did you used to believe in all that stuff?

Like spirits?

No. I mean... I don't believe everything that Paddy says.

Okay, you remember what her cure for warts was?

Yeah, put a sixpence on a crossroad at midnight. Yeah, exactly.

Bedtime for Lulu. Bedtime, please.

Good girl. Thank you. Go brush your teeth and I'll see you in a second.

Okay, Mama.

disappeared, you ran from the shack, leaving the girls there?

Yeah. I left them there.

And then where did you go?

To Anita. And she'll verify that?

Speak up.

Yeah.

She'll verify that.

Come on, Billy. Stop fucking around.

Tony. Jay.

Please, please, please, don't. I didn't do anything to grace you. Please.

Please, please, please, please.

Fuck off. Get the fuck off.

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Fuck off.

Please.

Please, Jay.

So what are the kids saying happened?

They think during the game they released an evil spirit, Gracie's killer,

who possessed them all and showed them visions of Gracie's death.

And the professional opinion?

Well, most of them have recent trauma, right? Death, parental breakup, which

makes sense on an individual level.

but it also makes them vulnerable for a thing called mass sociogenic illness.

Right, OK.

So what's that in layman's terms?

Have you ever heard of Girltown?

So Girltown was a boarding school in Mexico.

Hundreds of girls start showing signs of possession, right? You've got pain in

their legs, paralysis, visions of dead babies. They send in a doctor, but

there's nothing medically wrong with them.

They send in a psychiatrist who does some digging and, of course, they've all

got recent trauma.

Broken homes, abuse, and right at this time, they're all playing with balances

and black magic.

Yeah, so the psych basically puts all the pieces together and realises it's a

case of MSI. You know, it's basically maladaptive empathy.

You know, we start to mirror somebody else's physical experience, right?

All right. You yawn. She makes me yawn.

I say that I'm sick and all of a sudden you feel unwell.

Yeah. All right. So, profile fits.

What's the treatment?

I mean, cases like this usually result on their own when the heat comes out of

it. Watch and wait.

My professional recommendation is we keep the kids separated.

No communication.

Basically, until Frankie turns up.

Who spent you?

Probably better spent than mine.

Anita swept me along in all of her mad craziness. Really?

Really? Like what?

Mushroom growing.

Composting toilets.

Tentric effects.

Oh, I had no idea you were into that sort of thing.

I wasn't. Well, maybe the sex, but you?

Just normal effects for me. I meant relationships.

Um, well, yeah, I may have made some bad choices.

Nina's dad turned out to have a real nasty streak, actually.

And Lulu's dad just wasn't really interested in being a dad.

Harsh.

I never would have imagined that you and Anita would have ended up together.

Well, we haven't ended up together, have we?

Right.

Who did you imagine I'd end up with?

I don't know.

Sorry, it's not like you ever would have gone out with me.

I'm not?

It's not like you've ever asked me.

God, I have to give a letter of pay.

Yeah, so stupid.

Um, I didn't mean... Hello.

Hi, Anita.

Joanie.

Jay.

Who do we doing around today?

Yeah, I thought I'd better check in and... Yeah, look, I'm sure you're doing

your own research, but if you need any additional resources, I can point you in

the right direction.

You too.

We're bringing a civil suit against the Darlings.

Symptoms living close to turbines.

Dizziness, vertigo, hallucinations.

Sound familiar?

Yeah, it's really interesting.

I'll have to look it up. Maybe you can send me some links.

Yes, yeah, I will.

I mean, I can show you some now if you like. No, no, no. You know what? I

actually get back to the kids. So I'm going to go.

Bye, Anita.

This town is sick.

I was just thinking how little this town has changed.

Find them in the morning.

Let's lift up here.

Uh, yep, I know the way to your place, Ruth.

What are you doing here?

Well, I just... I thought if I, you know, if I could help you and your mum,

I should.

You know, you and Gracie were always... And I never thought Frankie

would turn out like that.

Like, um, like what?

A while.

We finished at 13.

She turned into a little monster.

Teenagers, who'd have them?

Sorry.

They say teenage girls are their mother's punishment.

Fucking thing.

Mr. Darling.

Mr.

Darling James.

It's Johnny.

Is it enough?

Ah, no. Okay.

Let's get you back up and inside the house, okay? Are you okay? Can you

Grandpa?

Johnny?

I gave Ruth a ride home and I saw that he was... I'm so sorry.

Come on.

You're all right. Come on, Grandad. Let's get you home.

Yes, yes, all right.

I'm not a child, you know. I know you're not.

Can you get in the back with him?

Yeah. There it is. Yeah, yeah, sure.

All right.

All good?

Yeah.

Thank you, Johnny. It's fine. It's not a problem.

So, are you going to stay around for the funeral?

The funeral? The funeral?

Yeah, of course.

Moira's been having me digitise all these old photos.

There's a bunch of you in there. Really?

Yeah, I scanned them all. You should have them.

Oh, no, you have to keep them.

They're yours.

I'd love you to have them.

Ah.

Yeah, OK.

Sure. Thanks.

I'll run you up and back. Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I want you to have them. Thanks.

Drink?

Um, sure.

Whiskey okay?

Mm -hmm.

Take a seat.

So, what was he doing, your grandfather, in the shed doing?

Penance.

We used to have to kneel on chicken grits.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

It's family tradition.

That was probably Ruth.

God, they used to fight.

I remember.

Gracie looked so... fearless.

No matter what punishment they doled out, just... just bounced off her.

Yeah, why not?

Why not indeed?

How come you never moved away?

I thought about it.

Someone has to look after the farm.

And you, who looks after you?

It's a favorite Daniel Penn.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

Morning. Morning.

You want to stay for breakfast?

I better get back to the kids.
