A forest.

Now, for many of us, the forest represents different things.

It may be a magical place.

A place of adventure.

It may be a place of play.

It may also be a place of fear.

A place of hungry wolves or conniving witches.

A place where children go and never return.

But it may also be a home.

A place where families are born.

Where they grow.

Where they prosper.

Where a parent teaches its child the ways of the world.

Which, of course, includes its dangers.

Because it's the parent's intuition, isn't it?

To protect.

No matter the cost.

Because sometimes, no matter how hard you try to shield yourself and your

from the dangers of the world,

Sometimes, life had other ideas.

Because there comes a time in every life when its world is changed forever.

For the life affected, the question then becomes, how does it cope?

Or maybe they become angry, bitter, twisted, hell -bent on revenge.

Because what happens is the forest fights.

You have a shot there.

No.

What have you?

Yeah.

So you're not coming?

Do you know what, Simon? I'm going to tell him.

I am. Because after everything you've said to him, everything you've promised,

you just can't be bothered. You're going to be sick if you

play that in the car.

Benji. Benji, come on.

Come on, bloody thing.

Off anyway now, shall we? Yeah, we're, uh... This thing is Dad's family.

Oh, family's, eh?

The only thing worse than your own is someone else's. You can choose your

partners, but you can't choose your in -laws, am I right?

Mine are a nightmare.

Catching Hammond, I think, is the best thing I can do.

Sorry about that, love.

They've been tearing around these roars there for weeks.

But they're up to something, though.

You mark my words.

Something criminal.

Friend of mine the other night got driven into a ditch, he did.

Car's completely right off, so we got off lightly, if anything.

Excuse me, can you pull over? Oh, yeah, sure.

You're going to be sick.

All right, OK.

Get up.

Get it up, get it all up.

That's it, and again.

Better? Come on, sit down for a minute.

Give it a minute here.

You OK?

You won't want to listen to me in the future.

I thought Dad was picking me up.

Yeah, well, he got delayed.

What happened?

Nothing, just a work thing.

You're getting deported, aren't you?

Deported. You and Dad.

Not married anymore.

No, Benji.

No, we're not getting deported.

Come on. He's going to meet us at your grandma's.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, so come on, get in the cab.

Benji, come on.

He's just like what my little boy used to be like.

Less than five minutes down the road and he'd be spewing up his guts.

And then the cheeky get to blame me for it.

Hey, sucking on a sweet.

That's what used to take his mind off things.

Cheeky little bugger.

Is everybody alright?

Is everyone okay?

It's okay.

I'm going home.

Thank God.

Mom,

they're doing well.

Trust her to make us go and wait like this.

Well, you know what taxis are like, especially round here.

Andrew, kitchen roll.

Isn't Simon picking them up?

Simon? Simon's not coming.

Our brother has a work due, apparently.

At least he had the decency to let us know.

Well, why don't you give her a call?

I would do, but I don't have any signal here, do I?

Um, landline?

How do you have it disconnected?

Why? Mother kept calling the police.

Your mother.

I thought I told you to watch her.

Sit there.

I was.

Just don't let her out of your sight.

Well, actually, you're not my real mum.

You'll get fat, you know, if you keep eating those.

Will I?

You'll balloon like a bouncy castle.

Bounce, bounce, bounce.

They're here.

What was that?

Thanks, Grandma.

That's not freaky at all.

Yeah, we're on our way back now.

Everything on track?

No work, trust me.

What?

I've got to go.

Call me when...

What?

If it's really as dangerous as you claim, surely we'd be safer inside.

Okay, well, what about the driver?

We just left him.

Oh, his problem.

Harriet, no. Well, it is.

I'll go.

What? No.

I can try and get him to signal. Call for help.

Andrew! I don't know. It's up to him. Maybe it's for the best.

Anything?

She's pretty toothy.

What was that?

Behind me.

Grandma? Grandma?

Grandma?

Shut up! Harrison!

What? Don't do that.

Why not?

Because it's mean.

She's annoying.

You're annoying.

He's dead, isn't he?

The driver.

No.

No, Josh was with him.

It'll be okay.

Try not to think about it, okay?

When's Dad getting here?

Soon.

He'll know what to do.

It's creepy, isn't it?

What is that?

I don't know.

She's been painting them for weeks.

Brought you some clothes.

Oh, thanks.

They're Harriet's, so... I'll be careful.

Where'd he come from?

In that crash, do you reckon?

No.

Not too clean.

Staying at that motherfucking house is my guess.

What's he doing out here?

Fuck knows.

Take him back to the truck.

Wimp. Harrison!

What?

Come here, please, darling.

Why? Because I said so.

What are you laughing at?

Um, darling.

So sad.

What's that, Grandma?

I don't know why you bother.

She's lost it. She's all... Darling.

It's his son and... Grandma?

No. Not my Simon.

Harrison!

What?

Oh, Simon.

It's Benji, Grandma. Oh.

Cromwell? Cromwell?

Where's Harriet?

Where's Harriet? Did you see her?

Dad!

Dad!

Shut the fuck up!

What's up, guys? How's that?

Come on!

Do you think it's supposed to be the creature?

What?

What's she doing?

I think you're gonna wanna see this.

Should I?

Are you not seeing what I'm seeing?

There's a tree, a massive fucking tree in the middle of the road.

And it's all Simon's fault.

Insisting that we all come down just because he didn't want to spend a

alone with his fucking kid.

And then, and then what happened?

The bastard didn't even show up.

Simon.

It's Ben, your grandma.

Where are they?

Where's Dad?

Simon.

He's out playing in the park.

Can't you do it? No.

Why? Because they need my help.

Can't Grandma do it? No, Grandma...

Minji,

I want you to do it for me.

Please.

Right,

so when we're ready...

You gave me the signal to drive. Exactly.

Then? Don't know.

You do. I don't. I've just explained this to you. It's not rocket science.

I don't understand why I have to do it. Because I've asked you to and I need you

to, okay?

Benji, drive!

Watch your grandma.

Andrea.

What

are you...

Is he okay?

Why aren't you watching Grandma?

Where is she?

Grandma? Grandma!

She's there.

What the fuck do you want?

Fucking thing!

Sorry.

What's that smell? Shh.

Stay here.

Benji, I mean it. Stay here.

Mary?

Mary? Mary, it's me, Zana.

Mary.

Mary,

it's me, Donna.

Hey.

You okay?

You're gonna stay with me and Benji, Mary.

It's okay.

It's okay, okay?

We're worried about you. It's not safe.

It's not safe.

It's death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death. Death. Death.

Benj!

Benj! What the hell are you doing? Mum, I just thought I saw something. Come on,

could you not listen to a word I said?

You better go in disguise.

Mary, Mary, shh. You're a fake.

So there's a little boy, Harrison. He's 15. He's on his own. We need to call the

police. I think it's best we get you back two hours.

There's a satellite phone there.

And there's another guy, Josh.

He's 30.

Don't worry, love. We'll look after you.

We'll get you back, get you warm, call the police. We'll work out what to do.

You'll be safe there.

With me.

Where? So we're gonna give the police a call now, yeah?

You okay?

Joe?

Joe, is that you?

Joe?

Job, is that you?

It's all right, Michael.

It's me.

You can lower your weapon. I thought you might have been...

Shut the fuck up!

You better have a fucking good explanation.

Let's try not to swear at one another.

Are you fucking kidding me? Will you please stop swearing? How do you know

men?

It's complicated.

Oh, it's complicated. Do you know what's complicated, Simon? Your son has just

seen his uncle dead on the road.

That's complicated.

I did tell you, didn't I? I did tell you not to come.

Is that all you've got to say? None of you were supposed to be here.

I wanted to look out for Benji.

I didn't want to let Benji down. Really?

Really? So that's the reason? Why are you begging to take him this weekend? I

didn't beg you. Oh, please.

It's your turn. You're his dad. Please, take him off my hands. That didn't

happen. I want you to want to spend time with him. I want you to want to have a

relationship with your child.

Who told them to do it?

I did.

But nothing like this has ever happened before.

You've done this before?

Wilbex have been dumping chemicals for years, but these were evidently

different. Oh, my God, we need to call the police, Simon.

No, no, we don't. Yes, you do, Simon. People have died. Your own family have

died. Yeah, and I'll go to prison.

What will Benji think, huh?

No, think about the impact it'll have on him, having a father in prison.

I don't think it'll have any impact whatsoever.

He knows exactly what it's like not to have a father around.

Zana. Zana!

Yeah. Eddie.

Eddie, are you there?

What do we do now?

Carry on as planned.

Yes, boss.

How are you getting on?

We're, uh... We're nearly there.

Let us know when you're ready.

Roger that.

Look what you've fucking gone and done now.

It's heavy.

Shut up.

Shut up!

Give me the phone.

Give me the fucking phone.

Fucking stop. Simon, stop.

Fucking stop.

Simon, we need to call the police.

Hand it over.

He might not hurt you but I will.

So fucking give it.

Let's calm all this down, shall we? Less of the histrionics.

What the hell is all of this?

On a little clear -up job, aren't we, boss?

Your husband here... Ex -husband.

...needs to, how shall we say it, cover his tracks.

Now we lay in a little trap, is all.

What sort of trap?

The plan is to draw it out of the shadows.

Draw what?

The creature that attacked you.

You're bringing it here?

It's perfectly safe.

Safe? Safe?

It's on.

believe you. I can't fucking believe you. We're safe here. Benji is safe

Nobody is safe here, Simon.

Where is Benji?

Stupid fucking thing.

You sure they feel good out there?

What do you mean?

I don't know. I mean, it's a bit cruel.

It's a fucking animal, mate. It doesn't have feelings.

I'm going for a piss.

What? No.

Can't you wait?

I'm desperate.

Fuck's sake.

Mary, Mary, look at me.

Where's Benji? Where did he go?

Up the hill.

What hill, Mary? This is pointless. Shut up.

Depend your pain of water.

Okay.

Mary, think.

Think. Where is Benji?

Gather them up.

Search. And bleed.

Kill.

Kill. Kill. Kill.

Zana, she's water.

No, no, no, no, no. Mary, Mary, look at me, look at me.

It's me.

I'm Zana.

And you know Benji. You know Benji. You love Benji.

Where is he?

Where's Benji?

Would you like some potatoes with that?

Oh, John, John, John. Mary, John, John, John.

You alright?

Are you okay?

I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?

You're safe now.

Let's get you out of here.

Eddie, come in, Eddie.

Where the fuck are they?

Will one of you fucking pick up? What?

What?

King Kick!

No!

No! No!

Joe.

There you are, you little fucking shit.

Benji!

Come. Come here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Shit.

Just give me a fucking second, yeah?

Hand it over.

Stay still.

Stay still.

Hand it over.

Hey, do it, Benji.

Do it.

Hand it over. Over.

Do what he says.

Give me the fucking thorn.

Reggie, give it to us. No.

Please, Simon.

Please.

This is you that is turning against me, pointing it. Mum, it's got nothing to do

with it. Mum lied to you.

I heard what you said.

Enough.

Give me the phone, Simon.

Come on.

It's over.

I won't let you, Donna.

I won't let you ruin my life!

Archie. Archie. Stay very still.

When I tell you, you are going to run as fast as you can, okay?

I'm not leaving you.

I'm not like him. You have to.

I should have told you about your dad.

You son of a bitch!

Crumple?

I did, Benji.

Thank you.

And I live with certain signs Cause hoping will never come to pass

What without, what without
