OLDER GEORGIA: Can we try this again?

Margaret, would you mind?

Michael, do I still have you?

There have been some killings that look similar.

Similar how?

OLDER GEORGIA: I don't know, Frank.

ANTON: Boyd is right, Katyushka.

Tolliver has done something.

There is something wrong with this place.

Kate Reynolds is alive.

-Georgia saw her die. -I didn't.

-ELLE: She's missing, my boss. -Ugh!

ELLE: Detective Inspector Millie Farah.

Arggh!

That's a street kitchen van from the church.

I've been in it.

I know who Kate Reynolds became.

-A gift for your birthday. -(FRANKIE CHUCKLES)

I'm so lucky to have you.

(CLEARS THROAT)

-I have a watch. -I know.

I thought this one was a bit more grown-up.

Uh, do you like it? See how it looks.

My mother gave me my watch.

And now I'm giving you this one.

You haven't seen your mother in nearly a decade.

That's not the point.

Hey!

OK, you're OK. You're good, sweetheart. You're good.

Where's Frankie?

TONY: She's safe, she's fine, but she...

GEORGIA: Did they get him?

Who?

Callum Parrish.

Did they get Callum?

(WHISPERS) OK, you listen to me, alright?

It's just me talking now,

but it's not gonna just me for too much longer,

so when the... when the cops talk to you,

you need to say as little as possible.

You give me a chance to find you a good lawyer.

I don't need to talk to a lawyer.

-Stop, stop, stop. -I need to talk to Charlie.

-I need to talk to... -Stop, stop fucking talking!

J-just...

Just fuckin' stop talkin'. Stop.

What do you think happened out there?

They had Kate Reynolds. They were torturing her...

-No, no, no. -or something like that.

You shot two people.

You shot two people in front of your little daughter!

-What do you mean, two people? -You shot Callum Parrish.

He'll live.

Kate Reynolds is dead.

Who says that?

-Does Callum say that? -Yeah, Callum.

Yeah, and Frankie.

They both say that.

Frankie!

-Frankie! -Hey, hey.

We don't know that she's in danger.

What, you think Kate Reynolds

became my daughter's assistant on a whim?

We don't know that Margaret O'Connor is Kate Reynolds.

It's her. She and Callum Parrish have taken Frankie.

-MICHAEL: George. -GEORGIA: Frankie!

George!

Frankie?

-Frankie! -Hi.

I'm Michael Thorne.

Are you gonna open the kitchen or what? I'm fuckin' hungry.

We're with the Police Department.

-Well, you're not a cop. -Was a cop.

-I was a florist. Time, eh? -Huh.

We're looking for a woman named Margaret O'Connor.

-Do you know her? -I don't like her.

She's the fuckin' devil!

Frankie?

Frankie!

OK.

Have you seen this guy around?

(YELLS) Hello? Frankie!

It's me.

(WISTFUL MUSIC)

(KEYS JANGLE)

Yeah, I seen him.

ELLE: You sure? Where?

Come by the church a bunch. Talkin' to her.

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

MICHAEL: Didn't I tell you?

Callum Parrish has been visiting Margaret O'Connor.

What more proof do we need?

When you said he came by and talked to her,

who did you mean?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

The minister. Frankie!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, Frankie.

What have you done?

FRANKIE: Kate Reynolds is dead.

She died 37 years ago.

F-F-Frankie!

(WHISPERS) Wh-what's going on?

I need you to listen.

CALLUM: Remember when you were in NA, looking for a sponsor?

I do.

You were so lost, so confused.

But I helped you, didn't I?

I helped you become what you are.

I told you God had a plan.

Now look. (CHUCKLES)

Was I right?

(CHUCKLES)

Why me? Why did you come to me?

Well, you must realise by now that you are special.

You see things, you feel things

from the other side.

And one day, we will do extraordinary things.

-Do I have to? -Yes, you do.

I can show you again in the book...

No, I...

CALLUM: Four deaths to echo the deaths from the past.

It's what was missing.

But I found it.

Now I understand.

Do you understand the part you're going to play?

Yeah.

CALLUM: You are perfection.

(FRANKIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Callum showed me that I was special.

That I'd suffered for something.

That there was a plan to it all,

a purpose.

And this is it.

Your purpose was to kill three innocent people?

(MILLIE CHOKES)

It had to be done.

(SCOFFS)

You don't understand, but it had to be done.

Why don't you help me, Frankie?

Why don't you help me to understand?

They didn't suffer.

They were numbed. They were asleep.

And they weren't innocent.

A rapist, a con man and a parasite.

-They all deserved to die. -(MILLIE SIGHS)

Do you know that things

that Damien Tovey said about my mother on that show?

Oh, look, we'd all like to kill a podcaster.

FRANKIE: I had to do it.

Do you know why it didn't work before?

Because the vessel wasn't strong enough.

It killed Kate Reynolds because she wasn't prepared,

but I'm prepared!

Echoing the deaths of the past,

it strengthens the vessel!

It's in the book.

(GROANS)

(LAUGHS)

Why are you laughing?

Oh, I don't know, Frankie.

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

It's just that I'm dead, aren't I?

And you're fucking insane.

(LAUGHS)

I want you to know

that they didn't suffer when I killed them.

But you will.

Because you brought my mother into this.

She was safe in there, Millie.

She was safe.

And you dragged her into this.

-So you'll suffer. -(SOBS)

(MICHAEL SIGHS)

Is Georgia still upstairs?

Yep.

Do you think she knew?

Bit of it, maybe.

Is she gonna be OK?

(SIGHS) Probably not.

No-one really is in the end, so...

There's a car coming for her.

To take her back to Havenbrook.

Listen, I don't want to do this, but...

can you wait with her till it comes?

I gotta head back.

-Gotta try and figure out... -I know where she is.

You're asking me to convince my boss

to charter a plane

to a radio telescope that's been abandoned since 1987.

I'll bet it's not abandoned anymore.

Just wait with her, yeah?

Yep.

(SNIFFS)

(WISTFUL MUSIC)

(SOBS)

(MICHAEL SIGHS)

(GASPS SOFTLY)

-It's not your fault. -(GEORGIA SIGHS)

(VOICE BREAKS) I should have protected her.

Callum will have her out there at Parrish Station.

Yeah.

I tried to tell Hardy.

Don't know if it'll fly with the brass.

But you'll go, though, won't you?

I'm going.

-Yes. -Yeah.

-(WHISPERS) Yeah. -(FLASK CLINKS)

Who was Margaret O'Connor, then?

I think she was just Margaret O'Connor. Just a lady.

Just a nice old lady.

Well, she wasn't that nice.

(SOBS AND LAUGHS RUEFULLY)

Oh!

(MICHAEL EXHALES)

He's got my baby. (SOBS)

He's twisted her.

And I don't know what to do!

What do I do?

How can I save her?

Well, George...

I'm gonna go kill a guy in the desert.

And you're welcome to come.

(DOOR BUZZES AND SQUEAKS OPEN)

MICHAEL: We're OK, thanks, Izzy.

(DOOR THUDS)

You bash me now, I'm gonna look like a real dickhead.

Lockwood's been trying to reach you.

Your dad too.

You know he sprung for a silk, right?

That's a mortgage on the house right there.

-I didn't ask him to do that. -Yeah, well, he has.

He's telling me -

and fuckin' hell, George, he has to have this wrong -

that you're demanding to stand trial.

I am.

You have rigged the indictment lottery here.

-I didn't kill anyone. -Institutionalisation.

Take some meds. Chat to a shrink. Paint a fuckin' mural.

Out in a decade. Less, maybe.

-Take the deal. -I didn't shoot her.

Take the deal.

How'd she die?

Have you seen her body?

Has anyone?

Charlie? Or does Callum run the place now?

MICHAEL: I'm fuckin' sorry!

Is everything alright?

We're fine, Izzy. It's fine.

I can't...

I cannot let this fuckin' thing claim everyone.

Have you thought about Frankie?

What a trial would do to her? Media attention?

They'll try to get her to testify.

She says you shot Reynolds.

She's been through a lot.

Next year, you want her visiting you for Christmas

in a place like this?

If you won't do it for yourself, do it for her.

George.

(MICHAEL EXHALES)

You know, he's persuasive, that Callum.

I just say this 'cause whatever he's got Frankie believing,

she's not the first one.

I know.

Yeah. Reynolds. Tolliver.

Some very well educated people believe that bullshit.

Yeah.

'Cause it is bullshit, right?

Might feel a little better if I heard you say it,

that you know it's bullshit.

(PHONE BUZZES)

-MICHAEL: Hardy. -ELLE: Where are you?

Where's Georgia? I just spoke to a uniform at the rectory

and he said that...

I dropped her back at Havenbrook hours ago.

Thought I told you that.

Didn't I call you? Called someone.

No, you didn't, but listen,

we've pulled some airline records.

Frankie Webb has taken five trips to Barrawin

in the past six months.

Barrawin's the closest town to that...

-I know where it is. -Right, OK.

Well, it's not simple.

Could take me a few hours to pull a team together.

What did you say?

Can't hear you. Can you speak up, please?

-Just stay where you... -Hello? Hello?

What would I be upset about?

Well, your assistant, uh, Mary, was it?

Margaret.

You didn't have to kill her.

She wasn't part of the plan.

Well, she made a choice.

I'm not sure that she did.

She chose to pry, to interfere. That's a choice.

(NECKLACE CLINKS)

Just you and me now, hm?

It's simpler. (CHUCKLES)

I've waited 37 years, and it's time again.

Do you feel it?

The synchronicity?

Yes.

Are you ready?

I am.

I'm very proud of you. (CHUCKLES)

at a normal life.

MICHAEL: What's that?

She never stood a chance.

some of the things that I've done,

What things?

TONY: Oh, look, love, your mum's sick,

and that's why she's in hospital.

She's gonna get better, but when you're sick,

sick in the brain, you do things that...

I'm not sick.

You... George.

And, Frank, if people try and tell you that...

-Oh, George! -No, look at me. Frankie.

Hey.

If people try and tell you

that I'm sick, I'm not, OK?

(TONY SIGHS)

-Frankie, when you're older... -Alright, we might...

We might try this another time, eh?

-Dad. -Nuh. Some other time, I think.

Come on, love, let's go.

Because I'm not worthy.

You can leave or die, it makes no difference to me.

Don't hurt her.

KAYLA: That's all I've ever wanted to do.

Let those who have passed away tell their stories through me.

I don't see myself as a podcaster

or a journalist or an entertainer.

I consider myself, in many ways,

a vessel.

And a DJ.

I didn't want to do this show.

It's been three months since Damien died,

three months since the second massacre at Parrish Station,

and we have, in a sense, some closure now.

Michael Thorne died in his rescue attempt

and will be remembered in the media nationwide

as the hero of Moorland.

Millie Farah, having survived the massacre,

is currently listed by the Police Department

as being on extended leave.

I can actually speak about this now.

I worked with Millie during the search for Damien

three months ago.

I consider her a colleague and a friend.

Callum Parrish's body was found in the radio tower.

The official medical report puts the cause of death

as heart failure,

although that report is heavily redacted.

Unfortunately, the only other two people

who might be able to shed light on this

are unavailable for comment.

(HEARING AID TRILLS)

GEORGIA: There we are.

(GENTLE AMBIENT MUSIC)

KAYLA: All I've ever wanted to do

was tell stories,

because stories have power.

In this room, right now,

they're just sound, vibrations in the air

passing from a speaker to your ears.

But stories are the way we understand the world

and ourselves.

But first...

building a website should be fun.
