- Hey, Rachel watch the door.

- Do you want your jacket?

- No, I'm all right.

- Did you lock it?

(door slams wall)

(gentle music)

- Go on, jump.

- Rachel.

- I was kidding.

- Well, I reckon I could.

- Yeah, but we're not going to find out, are we?

- Or we'll put you back on your lead.

- Yeah, I was two and it wasn't a lead.

- It wasn't a lead, it was a safety harness.

- (laughing) It was a lead.

(Rachel barks)

- You were in one, too, you know.

Are you okay?

- You know I'm not very good at ships.

- Well, it's a ferry, it's not an Atlantic crossing, Neil.

- I don't like ferries much either.

(gentle music)

(cranking)

(engine revs weakly)

(engine chokes)

(car horns honking)

Yes, thank you.

- Sorry!

(engine revs)

Thank you.

(dramatic music)

Oh, Neil, could you get the kids some water?

- Yeah.

- And chocolate.

Chocolate.

(Neil coughs)

- Er, petrol.

Um, number one.

(cashier speaking foreign language)

And uh, some water, please.

(cashier speaking foreign language)

Sorry, and...

- Good idea.

Long drive with the kids, chocolate always helps.

- [Cashier] Merci.

- Yeah.

- Think I'll follow your lead.

(cash register beeping)

(candy rattling)

(kids exclaiming)

- Yes!

- Don't get any on the seats.

Here you go.

- Share, thank you.

Share.

- Mm, thanks, Dad.

- There you go.

- You're a good man, Neil.

(dramatic music)

- [David] How can part of the garden be in Spain

and part in France?

- [Liz] Well, think about it.

I mean, the border's got to be somewhere.

- [David] Hola, bonjour, hola, bonjour.

- [Rachel] Shut up!

- [David] You shut up.

- [Rachel] I still don't see why we have to

go camping anyway.

- [Liz] Now, look it's only for the journey

and once we get there, we're gonna be in a house.

(trunk bangs shut)

(door bangs shut)

- [Neil] Wow.

Look at that.

- [Liz] Look at it.

- [Neil] Whoa, cows!

Oh!

I think it's cows.

- You should put some cream on.

- It's not that hot.

- You'll burn.

- It's right on the border, about half an hour inland.

- And where are we now?

- Hmm.

We are-- (mobile rings)

Pete.

Yeah, now is good.

No, it wasn't March, we delivered in January.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pete says hello.

- Hi. - Hi, Pete.

- Hello, Pete.

- No, it was definitely January, do you remember?

- [Liz] I've told you I can't see it.

- The D58O.

- Yeah, I know what it's called, I just can't see it.

- It's a red line.

- Yes, there are lots of red lines, Neil,

I just don't know which one it is.

(upbeat music)

- Just pull it out.

- So, milk and a baguette.

But only if it looks fresh.

- Put this, that corner over there.

Where are you going?

- The shop.

Wait for me!

- First time?

- Sorry?

- I recognized your car.

- The petrol station.

Did the chocolate work?

- Well, nothing works a hundred percent with my kids.

You look like you could do with some help.

- Yeah, it's been a while.

- 10 years on the canvas until um,

well, we thought we deserved a change.

- Not sure we'll last 10 minutes.

- (laughs) Hi, I'm Simon.

- Neil.

Hi.

This is my wife, Lizzie.

- Hi.

So we're going to have somewhere to sleep tonight?

- You'll want to move the pegs further out.

There's not enough tension in the ground sheet.

Here.

(campers chattering)

(shopkeeper speaks foreign language)

- That's it.

Just those, please.

- Okay.

- Hey.

One advantage of four solid walls,

the beers are always cold.

- Cheers.

- So, what is she, um, mid-seventies?

- Uh, '73.

- She must take a lot of time and money.

And an understanding wife.

- He married the wrong woman.

- (laughs) Not me.

- Hello!

- [Child] Mum, Mum!

- Coming, love.

- Well, I'm in the business, classic cars, that helps.

- It makes me jealous.

I'm in IT.

- Merci.

- Salut.

- Hi.

- You English?

- Yeah.

- Nicholas.

- Er, Rachel.

- I'm David.

- Can you give this back to Mum?

- You do it.

- Go.

- I'm very pleased to meet you.

- Oh, merci.

- I'm David.

- You speak French?

(Rachel replies in French)

- All right.

(Nicholas speaks French)

(Rachel laughs)

- How do I look?

- Well, your legs are white.

- Is that the best you can do?

- I'm really trying.

- Thanks very much.

- One night, just tonight.

- And after, you go where?

- Uh, to my aunt's house, it's near Spain.

- Oh.

- How about you?

- To surf.

- Oh, near here?

- No, um, more south.

You know for the waves, the very big waves.

- (laughs) Cool.

- Oh, great, thanks.

You hungry?

- No, I'm fine.

Where's my cricket stuff?

- Well, it's probably still in the back.

- Oh, right.

- Hey, who's this?

- Oh, this is Toby.

We're going to the beach.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Let's go.

- Alright, bye.

- See you.

(campers chattering)

(dramatic music)

I can't drag him away from a screen at home.

It's either the TV or his computer.

- I know what you mean.

Mine are exactly the same.

Both of them, in fact.

- You know, we haven't met properly.

I'm Liz.

- Linda.

(bat smacks ball)

(girls speaking in foreign language)

(Simon laughs)

- We don't even figure, mate.

Not a beep on the radar.

- You know you're getting old.

- Where you headed?

- Um.

Liz's sister, Sarah's got an old farmhouse down here.

Her and her husband are going on painting holidays.

He struggles to paint a wall.

- (laughs) Our regular spot's a little further over.

The last wilderness in Western Europe.

Your kids'll love it, ours do.

- So are both of yours boys?

- Ah, boy and a girl.

- Oh, right, that's like us.

- Ah!

How's that?

- Er...

Marginal, but out.

- Oh, God! (laughs)

I don't know the first thing about cricket.

- You on a motorway from here, then?

- Yeah, the back roads.

Couple more nights then we'll,

you know, no need to rush.

(girls laughing)

(man speaking foreign language)

- [Liz] It's time to go, David!

- I'm gonna have a go at bat, hang on.

There you go.

- Okay.

- Can I go over to Toby's after we've eaten?

- Oh, well, let me check with his mum.

- That's not his mum.

(tense music)

- No, I'm not hungry.

- Eat.

- Dad.

- Yeah?

- Aunt Sarah's house, how far is it from Hossegor?

- Why Hossegor?

- Well, it's on the coast.

- Yeah, I know where it is.

- No, just these people I met, they're going there.

- What people?

- Um, Nicholas.

- Nicholas?

Who's Nicholas?

- Well, he's French.

- Well, it's a group of them going there,

I just thought I'd go there.

- Go where?

Who with?

- Dad.

- You can go, but just not late.

We've got an early start in the morning.

- Yeah, back by 11.

- Mum!

- Give me your hand.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's working fine.

11 o'clock.

- Okay.

(funky music playing)

- Ah, in the summer surf,

in the winter (speaking foreign language),

the mountains.

- Snowboarding.

- Yeah.

In the winter, snowboard.

- I went with my school last year.

I wasn't very good, though. - Thanks.

Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- I think you'd look good.

- Fell over a lot.

- Everybody fall over when they start.

That's usual.

(Nicholas laughs)

(zipper zipping)

- He's flat out.

- Yeah, it's been a long day.

- I really wish you'd thought about this earlier.

- He just asked us to pop in, you know.

- And normally you're so good at saying no.

- One drink.

(Liz groans)

Okay.

(knocks)

Hello.

- Hey, come up.

- [Liz] Hi.

- Um, you'll have to breathe in.

Well, you won't need to.

Here we go.

It's just um, local wine.

- Local to here?

- Oh, we've got a house in the mountains,

not far from Pau.

I get a few dozen bottles in each year.

(Linda sighs)

There.

Won't get another peep out of them.

- Cheers.

Yeah, the kids prefer to sleep in a tent.

- Yeah.

Both of yours settled down nicely, have they?

- Well, one out of two.

It's a minor triumph.

- I don't like ours to stay up late on the first night, see?

- Well, it was out of my hands.

Rachel went to the shop to get some milk

and she came back with a date. (chuckles)

- Really?

She's a bit young to be off with someone she just met,

isn't she?

- [Neil] Did you hear that?

- She's 16.

- You don't look old enough to have a daughter that age.

Half that age.

- Well, I'll drink to that.

(glasses clink)

- Cheers.

- So, where is the house of your aunt?

- Well, uh, they've bought this farmhouse,

but I've never been there before

- Ah. - Salut!

- Hey!

(Nicholas and girl speaking French)

- Bonjour.

- Bonjour.

- This is Arnelle.

- Mm.

- My sister.

- Ah.

- Um, would you like a beer?

- Yeah, please.

- [Arnelle] Okay.

- So they bought a farm?

- (sighs) We wanted our kids while we were young.

It was a conscious decision.

- [Liz] We weren't that organized.

- I was organized.

She just couldn't resist me.

- Oh, it was that way around?

- [Neil] Believe me, I put up a fight.

- Really?

- Well, a sporadic resistance.

- I wanted to be fit enough to

do things with them, you know.

- That is a nice thought till you realize

what they actually want to do.

- Well, at least you're still young enough to say no.

- You heard me say 11, didn't you?

- She'll be back soon.

- She'll be back when she feels like it.

- She's on holiday, Neil.

And it's not the holiday she wanted.

- Rachel wanted to go to Turkey on her own.

- Actually, it was Greece and she was with her friends.

- I hate the idea of a holiday without our kids.

- Well, it'll happen one day, Linda.

- She's right.

You can't lock 'em up even if you wanted to.

- Yeah, but our kids want to be with us.

- Neil?

- No, thank you.

Got a lot of driving to do in the morning, so.

- We should probably make a move, actually.

- Well, there's another bottle here.

- Hate to admit it, but she's right.

- Oh.

- All right, well, here.

Take it with you.

- Oh, no, you're fine, really.

- Oh, I got plenty more.

- Okay, thanks.

Sleep well.

- See you tomorrow.

- [Liz] Actually, we're getting up pretty early, so.

- Well, I'll maybe see you tomorrow.

- [Neil] Yeah. - Bye.

- [Simon] Bye.

- [Linda] Night night.

- Fuckin' hell.

(Linda laughs)

(upbeat pop music playing)

- [Nicholas] It's just here.

- Oh.

It's wicked!

(van door slams shut)

- These are pictures of me doing stuff with my friends.

My fairy lights and the fridge.

- Do you live in here in the mountains?

- Ah, everywhere I go.

- Isn't it cold?

- Not that bad.

♪ It's a simple picture ♪

♪ How dangerous can we be ♪

♪ When today could be our last ♪

♪ When I fall over ♪

- So you didn't think they were odd?

- I thought that wine was pretty disgusting.

- A little love at least.

- So...

(sighs) One child asleep, the other one engaged.

- [Liz] What about your phone?

- It's off.

- It is now, but what about tomorrow?

- It's 20 past.

- She'll be back any minute.

(rock music playing)

- Hey, anyone speak English here?

English?

No, oui?

Hi, I'm looking for my daughter, Rachel, she's...

She's, she's not here, is she?

Rachel.

Hi.

Oh, Jesus.

- Dad.

- Uh, this one's mine.

For the next couple of years, anyway.

Come on, time to go.

- But it's only 10:30.

- Nice try, we're on French time.

- Just 10 minutes?

- Not even two now.

- Sorry.

- Goodnight.

- Bye.

- Uh, I am Nicholas.

- You might want to um, the music.

People are trying to sleep here, okay?

Rachel.

Hey.

So what part of back by 11 didn't you understand exactly?

How old is he, four, five years older than you?

- I'm not a child anymore,

I could leave home if I wanted to.

- You're 16.

- I'm old enough to vote.

- You've gotta be 18 to vote.

- I wouldn't want to vote anyway.

- Listen, I make the rules while you're under my roof, okay?

- We're not under your roof, we're in a tent.

- It's my tent.

It works the same way.

- Hi, Rachel.

- Hi.

- You have a good time?

- Yeah, I did until my dad turned up.

(Simon scoffs)

- Every father's the same.

They worry.

Comes with the territory.

You'll always be his little girl.

- Yeah, but I'm not a little girl anymore.

- I can see that.

You're all grown up and your parents are the last to know.

- (sniffs) Yeah, he doesn't know anything about me,

he's never around.

Is that what you're like with your daughter?

- My daughter's a little bit younger than you.

She's still a girl, she's not a...

- You, bed.

Now.

I said bed, go on.

- 'Night, Rachel.

- 'Night.

- I'd appreciate it if you didn't encourage her.

- Oh, you remember what it was like at that age.

- I remember what I was like

and that's more than enough.

(Simon laughing nearby)

- Hey do you want to keep this bottle from last night?

- No.

- (laughs) Shall I throw it?

- Actually, let's keep it.

Might give it to Alex.

- [Simon] Hey, you two calm down in there!

- Right, stop messing about, sit down.

- You do what your mother says.

- Jesus Christ, I don't believe this.

- [Liz] What is it?

- Come and look.

- Oh, yeah.

Maybe we scraped something.

- Well, we didn't scrape anything.

Someone's taken a key to this.

Where's Rachel?

- Hey, Neil.

What's happened?

- Someone's keyed the car.

- Will it come out?

- Well, yeah, with a lot of hard work.

- Listen, um, I didn't mean to tread on any toes last night.

- Oh, no, no, you're fine.

- Great.

Have a good trip.

- Yeah, you too, bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

David.

- Yeah?

- Have you been to the toilet?

- Oh, I'm all right.

- Will you go to the toilet, please?

Once we're on the road, we're on the road.

- [David] Well, we could always stop by the road.

- Just go.

(mobile ringing)

(sighs) Where is Rachel?

Yeah?

(sighs) Right.

- I'm sorry about last night, my dad is--

- Oh, no, he's your dad.

- Do you want some coffee?

- Oh, no thanks, we're leaving.

I have to go.

- Oh, okay.

Bye. - Bye.

- Bye.

I'd like to go to the beach someday.

I'd like to you know, surf.

- Will you come to Hossegor?

- Maybe, I hope so.

- Well, I give you my telephone.

You uh, you call me.

- Uh-huh.

Okay.

- It's 561...

(gentle music)

- Tell Derek it's a hobby on his time,

but on our time it's called a job.

Hang on.

Hey! (snaps)

What do you know about this?

- About what?

- Use your eyes, somebody scratched the car.

- What, you think I did that?

- No, that's not what I'm saying,

but what about your friends, the surfer dudes?

- Why would they scratch your car?

- Get off the phone.

- Yeah, Pete.

No, listen, you're just gonna have to get back to him.

- There you are.

- (sighs) I wanted to say goodbye to Toby.

- Yeah, well, why didn't you?

- His parents didn't know where he was.

- Come on, let's go.

(motor revving)

(gentle music)

- "A stunning example of Roman Byzantine architecture,"

could you slow down please?

"Built over a period of 400 years."

- Do we have to go to a cathedral?

- Can't we go swimming?

- Look.

Look at the pictures, it's absolutely beautiful.

"Topped with five huge domes and extensively renovated

during the um--" (mobile ringing)

- It's work, I've gotta get this.

Yeah, tell me what they said.

(sighs) Right.

Right, go on.

Yeah.

Don't forget to lock your doors.

Yes.

Ah, Pete, listen to me, would you?

Yeah.

Yes.

- Hey, it's free to get in.

- Okay, bye.

(bells tolling)

- I still don't understand why

I wasn't allowed to bring my phone.

- Were you gonna pay the bill?

That's why.

- What are they listening to?

- Um, well, it's probably an audio guide.

- Can I have one?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because we've got the book.

- (mockingly) "Because we've got the book."

(mobile ringing)

- I'll be two minutes.

Get him off that thing.

- Yeah?

- [Liz] Hey, (whistles) come down.

Don't jump. - Yeah.

(women speaking in foreign language)

- I thought you were coming back inside.

- Yeah, I was just about to.

- Please don't make me do this on my own, Neil.

- [David] I'm hungry, when's lunch?

- Me, too.

- Um, why don't you two go and play over there?

Go on.

Go on!

(mobile rings)

Don't answer it.

- I have to get this, it might be important.

- It's not this important.

Come on, it's not that important, don't answer it.

- Yeah, hang on.

- I need to deal with this, Lizzie.

- This isn't gonna work.

- It's the business.

What do you want me to do, ignore it?

- When we're on holiday, yes.

Look around you, Neil, look.

Look at what other people do.

Jesus, Pete makes it work.

You know, he takes holidays, he takes weekends.

- Don't bring up Pete as a solution,

he's part of the problem.

- Don't.

- What pays the mortgage, what covers the bills,

is that our problem?

- Can I have the phone, please.

- What?

- The phone.

Hello?

Yes, he's on holiday!

(Liz grunts)

It is two weeks to save 17 years, Neil.

Do the maths.

Now, your phone is that way

and your family is going this way, you choose.

Lunch, guys.

Lunch?

(Neil sighs)

It was hard work getting back up that hill.

Ooh.

I needed crampons and a rope.

I didn't look for it, of course I didn't look for it.

Look, I know I've gotta just put the whole thing down

for a couple of weeks and...

- You know, it's serious, I'm not messing around.

- Yeah.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Who wants a drink?

- Bonjour.

(Rachel speaking foreign language)

(gentle music)

- [Neil] The whole place is shut down.

The whole town's shut.

- [Rachel] Why is everywhere so deserted?

- [Liz] Well, everybody goes on holiday in August.

It's like a national tradition.

- [David] Where do they go?

- [Liz] The coast.

The mountains, countryside.

- [David] But this is the countryside.

(gentle music)

(David shouts)

(Rachel laughs)

- Hey!

- Hey, hey.

Tears before bedtime.

- I'm not doing anything.

- [David] Oh, I submit, I submit, I submit!

- [Liz] I'm up for it.

- I think it would be about an hour.

- [Liz] Mm.

- Maybe more.

If we don't get lost again.

- Did you say where we were going?

- Who to?

- Simon and Linda.

- Uh, yeah, I think so.

- Oh, thank God for that.

Hey, let's go somewhere else.

Let's find another campsite.

- Because they're odd?

- Mm, no, because their wine's terrible.

- Won't have to drink their wine again.

- Oh, yeah, you wanna take that chance?

- Mm, okay, you're right.

Change of plan.

- Where are we going?

- Somewhere else.

- Where's that?

- [Neil] So this is nice, isn't it?

- [Liz] It is, isn't it?

I like it.

- Not a white van in sight.

- It was irrational.

I know it was irrational.

- Well, you're allowed to be.

- Just not too often, right?

- Every now and then's fine.

- It's time to eat.

- Come on, you two.

Do you want some more?

- Mm, please.

- Rachel, you want some?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Can I have some wine?

- No.

(Rachel laughs)

- Well, could we at least go swimming tomorrow?

- Maybe.

(groans) Oh God, we picked the hardest

piece of ground in France.

The lumpiest, anyway.

- Oh, stop whining.

- I'm not at my best outside, okay?

- Didn't bother you the first time,

on my parents' front garden.

- Well, that was wet.

Not hard.

- Yeah, well, I ruined a good skirt.

- It was worth it, though.

- Was it?

First time.

I don't know, I really liked that skirt.

- Yeah.

(both laugh)

Did you?

- Yeah.

- Oh, did you?

I liked what was inside it.

(both laughing)

Shh, the kids.

(eerie music)

Oh, wow.

Oh, it's gonna be hot again.

- [Liz] Yeah.

- It's gonna...

I don't believe it.

- What's the matter?

Are you sure?

Oh, look, it might not even be them.

- Look at the canoes.

- How is that possible?

What are the chances that they could end up,

you know, here?

- Right next to us.

(Neil sighs)

Uh, what do you want to do?

- Well, I can't face a conversation.

Do you want to just go?

- Yeah.

- Right.

We're hitting the road.

(trunk slams shut)

- [Neil] They couldn't possibly have known.

We didn't know!

We stuck a pin in the map.

- [Liz] They must have looked for us.

- In what, 10, 20 campsites?

- Well, it couldn't be a coincidence.

- It's gotta be.

They have no reason to look for us.

- Who's looking for us?

- [Liz] Nobody.

- Oh, you've gotta be joking.

I don't, look!

- Is that them?

Well, how did they?

- I don't know.

He's slowing down.

- Well, maybe he's got a problem.

- He's definitely got a problem.

How am I doing that side?

- You're fine, why?

- I'm going to overtake.

(suspenseful music)

He's speeding up.

He's speeding up.

- Neil.

(car horn honks)

- Let me through!

- Dad, there's a car.

- Yeah, I can see it, I can see it, I can see it.

- Look, just leave it, just leave it.

Just let him go ahead.

Neil! - Dad!

- Neil!

- [Neil] Shit.

All right, sod this.

(car horn honking)

- Pull over!

- Dad, what are you doing?

- [Liz] Don't, Neil.

(Simon laughing)

- [Neil] What the hell are you playing at?

(Simon laughing)

- You should have seen your face.

I thought you were going to have a heart attack.

- Are you out of your mind?

What's the matter with you?

- [Simon] Hey, easy, Neil, calm down.

- No, no, that was so dangerous what you did back there.

- Well, I didn't think it was gonna be that hard.

I thought you had a bit more under the bonnet than that,

a bit more oomph.

- My family is in the car!

- Yeah, you're right.

You're right.

I apologize, it was stupid.

Okay?

Why were you pulling alongside me?

- [Neil] Why was I?

I was trying to overtake you for God's sake.

- [Simon] I thought you wanted a bit of fun.

- [Neil] Fun?

- Well!

What are they like?

And you know what they say about men with big cars.

- Neil didn't do anything wrong.

- Oh, yeah, charging along like a rhinoceros.

Kids in the back and all.

'Morning.

- Hi.

- He was just trying to get past.

- Putting their foot down, they love it, don't they?

(Rachel scoffs)

- [Neil] Just leave it, okay?

Just leave it.

Just leave it.

- Hi, Rachel.

- Hi.

(door bangs shut)

- Sorry about that, everyone.

- It's okay.

(motor revving)

- [Neil] Bye bye.

- Be seeing you.

- [Neil] Okay, they've gone.

- [Liz] Can we get to Sarah's today?

- Well, they're not expecting us till tomorrow.

- They really wouldn't mind.

- We've still quite a way.

- I just really wanna get there now.

- Okay.

We're not going that way, though, okay?

They're going that way, we're going that way.

♪ Reach for me ♪

♪ I can't wait another day without you ♪

- What is it?

- I'm not sure.

♪ Take me to higher ground ♪

- [Liz] Oh, God.

(engine clunking)

- Can you hear that?

(car horn honking)

Oh, no!

- No, it can't be.

Oh my God, it can't be.

(suspenseful music)

(tires screeching)

- [Neil] Hold on, hold on!

- Is everyone okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine, but Dad--

- [Liz] Neil.

- That's it.

- Wait, Neil, wait!

- [David] What are you doing, Dad?

- You stupid bastard.

- Sorry about all the noise.

I was just trying to attract your attention.

I could see that your tire was flat.

Is everyone all right?

- Yeah, yes. - Yeah, sorry.

- Do you want a hand changing it?

- Oh, no, we're fine, thank you.

- You sure?

- Yeah, thank you.

- Drive safely.

- All right, sorry.

Sorry!

- Who's that?

- We're gonna have to get all the stuff out of the boot.

(camper motor revving)

Sorry, mate.

- [Liz] Thank you!

- Ah. (zipper zips)

(Liz sighs)

- Geez!

Look at this.

- [Liz] Oh, what is it?

- I think it's part of a tent peg or something.

We must have driven over it this morning at the campsite.

- Well, wouldn't it have gone flat earlier then?

- No, not necessarily.

It might've been okay till we hit a bump.

- You know, Linda knelt down by the side of the car.

I saw her in the mirror.

I thought she'd dropped something.

- No, she didn't.

- Why not?

Oh, come on, you thought he was

trying to run us off the road.

- I overreacted.

And it wouldn't be for the first time

and that's me saying it.

Come on, let's go.

- How much further is it?

(engine sputtering)

(Neil sighs)

(engine sputtering)

- [Liz] It's on.

- [Neil] It's on?

- [Liz] Yeah.

- Okay, switch it off. (sighs)

It could be the fuel pump, but I can't see anything.

- Mm.

Well, how far back was the last village?

- Uh, a couple of miles, maybe more.

- What you looking for?

- Pete might have an idea.

- (scoffs) I don't believe you went and fetched it.

- Yeah, it's a good job I did now, though, isn't it?

- Yeah, but that's not the point, you know?

It wasn't about whether--

- Shit.

- What is it?

- Can't get a signal.

I'm gonna have to walk back to the village.

- No. (clears throat)

You stay here.

You try and fix the car an I'll call Pete.

- I'll go with you.

- Oh, no, love, you stay here with your dad, all right?

It's too far for you to walk.

Um, Rachel?

- Yeah?

- [Liz] Do you want to come for a walk?

(engine sputtering)

- [Neil] Yeah, now.

Okay, switch it off.

(gentle music)

- Oh, thank God it's open.

(patrons chattering in foreign language)

Bonjour.

(Rachel speaks French)

- Telephone?

(barkeep speaks French)

- Merci.

(men laughing)

- I need the toilet.

- All right.

- Oh!

- Hey, Pete, it's me.

No, no, no, no, I'm fine, I just,

well, you know, we've got a problem with the car

and I was just wondering if...

Please, please, just stop it.

I can't um, I can't do this anymore.

- Okay, try it now.

(engine revving weakly)

Switch it off.

(eerie music)

(toilet flushing)

(Rachel strains)

(outer door clicks open)

(footsteps)

(door rattling)

Yeah, now.

(engine revving)

Yes, you beauty!

- I can't, okay?

I just, look, I've already told you I can't.

I gotta go.

Okay, bye.

- Who are you talking to?

- What are you doing with that?

- Well, who were you talking to?

(car horn honking)

- [Liz] How'd you fix it?

- Come on, out you get, fun's over.

The indicators are dead, but the engine's good.

- So it's safe to drive?

- Yeah, unless you wanna spend the night here.

- Oh yeah, not particularly.

- Okay, I don't think we'll make it to Sarah's, though,

we're gonna have to find another campsite somewhere.

(tense music)

- [Liz] What's this?

- [Neil] I don't know.

- [Liz] Were you speeding?

- [Neil] We were barely moving!

- [Liz] We must've done something wrong.

- Bonjour.

(officer speaking French)

Uh, no.

- What did we do wrong?

(officer speaking French)

- Miss, missed.

- Missed?

A boy is missed.

- You mean missing, a boy's missing?

Where from?

- Uh, the boy is missed from his parents.

- What boy?

- [Officer] Have you seen him, this boy?

- That's Toby.

- Who?

- Toby.

- Yeah, David was playing with him

at the first campsite we stayed at.

Yeah, we've seen this boy.

My son played with him.

Um, would've been the day before yesterday

at a campsite we were staying at.

- What's happened?

Oh, this is ridiculous.

- [David] (sighs) I'm thirsty.

- [Liz] Where are you going?

- I'm stretching my legs if that's okay.

- Mum.

- Oh, it won't be much longer, love.

- I'm gasping.

- Please.

- No, no, no, you stay here, guys.

(David sighs)

- [Cop] He's probably, we think, just run away somewhere.

- An English boy in France?

- We have a beautiful country.

You stayed at the La Tranche campsite for just one night.

- Yeah, how'd you know that?

- From the register.

We have everybody's name.

And did you see this boy again after he was with your son?

- No, we left early the next morning.

(cops speaking French)

Hey, do you think they're talking

to everyone at the campsite?

(cops speaking French)

- If I need to speak again with you,

where can I contact you?

- Well, we'll be staying with my sister,

Sarah, and her husband and we should be there tomorrow.

- Yeah, tomorrow afternoon sometime.

- Do you want me to write the address and phone number?

- [Cop] Please.

(Neil sighs)

- You keeping a lookout?

- Oh no, I was...

I was just thinking about that poor boy's parents.

- Yeah.

Well, you heard what the police said,

it's probably nothing.

- Hey, um, do you think it could be anything to do

with Simon and Linda?

- (laughing) What?

No.

Why would anyone with kids want to steal any more?

- Mm.

(spray can spritzing)

Yeah, we got lucky, didn't we?

- It wasn't luck.

- (quietly) Hey, Neil.

Neil.

- What?

- I couldn't sleep.

- Try closing your eyes.

- I'm serious.

- Me, too, it helps.

- What's that?

- What?

- That.

- (sighs) It's a car.

- It's coming this way.

- Oh, Lizzie.

- [Liz] No, listen.

- It's just a car.

- [Liz] It's coming over here.

(car doors banging shut)

- It can't be them, can it?

- Wait, wait, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

- I'm trying to see who it is.

(zipper unzips)

It's nothing.

It's not a van.

It's not even interstate.

- I want to go to Sarah's.

- (sighs) We're going to Sarah's,

that's the whole point of this trip.

- [Liz] No, I mean now.

- Oh, Lizzie.

- I want to go now.

I just, I don't want to stay here anymore.

I want to go now.

(tense music)

- At least I'll have the satisfaction of waking Alex up.

(slight thudding)

- What was that?

- [Neil] Don't know, an animal, probably.

- What kind of animal?

- A small one.

- [David] Dead one, you mean.

- Oh, that's gross.

- (laughing) Probably a rabbit.

- It wasn't a rabbit!

- A small, white one. - Get off.

- [David] A baby one.

- [Rachel] Shut up!

- [David] Ow!

Get off.

- [Liz] Just stop it, David.

- Get!

Slam, splat!

- [Liz] David, just stop it.

- Get off! - [Liz] Rachel.

- It's him!

- Oh, she's not--

- Rachel, will you please--

Jesus!

(brakes screeching)

(loud thudding)

(Rachel screams)

(crashing)

(ragged breathing)

Is everyone all right?

- I'm fine.

I'm fine.

- Rachel?

- Yeah, I'm all right.

- [David] I don't think that was a rabbit.

- [Liz] Are you sure?

- Yeah, honestly, I'm all right.

- Stay here.

What did we hit?

Did you see what it was?

Was it a dog?

- No.

- Oh, Jesus!

- [Neil] Oh, God.

Oh, Jesus.

- Oh, God, it's Toby.

That's Toby.

Is he--

- I think he's dead, I think he's dead.

- Oh, God, oh, no.

- Oh, Jesus.

- [Liz] Oh, God.

- [Rachel] What's going on?

- Stay there!

Get back in the car.

Get in the car!

We need to get help.

- There's a light over here.

There must be a house.

- Hey, what did we hit?

- It was just an animal.

- We're gonna find someone to help get the car out, okay?

- What's on your shirt?

- Nothing.

- Um, just, just stay in the car with David.

- But, Mum.

- [Neil] We won't be long, just get in the car.

(car doors bang shut)

- [David] What's happening?

- They've gone to get some help to get the car out.

- Well, what did we hit?

- [Rachel] Just an animal.

- What sort of--

- I don't know, David, I don't know!

(trees rustling)

- What?

Hello!

Hello!

- Simon!

(television playing indistinctly)

- [Child] Hi, Mum.

(insects buzzing)

- How long will they be?

- I don't know.

- Well, where did they go?

- [Simon] Say hello.

- Hi, Mummy.

- [Simon] Hello, Mum.

- Hello, Mum.

- [Boy] Ha, ha, ha ha ha, you have to wear a life belt.

- James, stop it.

(tense music)

That's enough, James.

- [James] All right.

(static buzzing)

- Neil?

(shuddering) This is Toby's shirt.

(branch snapping nearby)

- [Rachel] Mum?

- [David] What was that?

- I'm gonna have a look.

- [David] I thought she said to stay here.

Are they back?

- [Rachel] Mum?

- What are you doing?

- Mum?

- What can you see, Rach?

(branch snapping nearby)

(tense music)

Rach?

Stop messing around, Rach!

Rachel!

Rach!

(muffled shouting)

- David!

(suspenseful music)

(Liz shouts)

Lizzie!

Lizzie!

(Liz groaning)

Hey, come on, come on.

- Ow!

- Come on, come on, let me get you.

Let's go.

- Oh, just go.

Go, go get the kids!

(suspenseful music)

- (shouting) Rachel?

David?

- What's happened?

- They're not here.

(shouting) Rachel?

- (shouting) Rachel?

- (shouting) David?

- [Liz] (shouting) David!

- (shouting) Rachel!

David! - [Liz] Rachel!

- Rachel!

- David!

- Oh, Jesus, it's them.

- Oh, God!

(suspenseful music)

Stop!

Wait!

- David!

Rachel!

- [Liz] No!

- [Neil] Rachel!

- [Liz] Stop!

(both panting)

- [Neil] The police think we killed Toby.

- We did kill Toby.

(mobile ringing)

That's your mobile.

Rachel!

- Nobody comes downstairs until they're dressed.

(doorbell rings)

- Would you please stop that!

(Simon shouting)

(tires screeching)

- I didn't plan this!

- [Rachel] Is this your daughter?

- Yeah.

- Where is she?

- She died.

- If we go to the police now, they will lock us up!

- Keep running, Rach!

- [Simon] Nowhere to go!

- They can't be far away.

We've got them, Lizzie.

- [David] Don't you hurt her!

- Unlock the door!

- No!

- No!

- We'll find some good kids

and then we'll be a proper family.

No, don't scream.

- Who are you calling?

- They made me do it!

(Rachel gasps)

- Wrong.

(Simon shouts)

(gentle music)
