How long have you known the deceased?

Hi. Hi.

This is Becky. Becky's our wonderful new nanny.

Something's not right in this house.

I am not my past.

You must be wondering what you've walked into.

Jake cheated on me in London and now I think he's doing it again.

He's always messaging someone.

I've seen the name come up. Mummy.

Can I get your number, so that I can book you again?

I've got a card. Thank you...

Ray.

I haven't been taking my medication.

Thank you.

BABY CRIES

Someone wants their brekkie.

I might have to leave you here all day. Ha-ha!

See ya.

Well, you're the evil temptress, aren't you?

Scrambled eggs with cream.

It's Jake's favourite.

He's never going to want to let you go at this rate.

Hello, my darling. Hello.

Has he been awake long? Oh, no, he only just got up.

Oh, and I let Grace get stuck into that box of your toys.

I hope that's OK.

These were Mummy's toys when she was a little girl.

Hey!

Quack, quack. That's Daddles the Duck.

Do you know, she was my favourite, too.

And I always hoped that I would have a little person

that I could share them with one day, and now I do.

Mummy, you're stinky.

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Well, if you've got everything sorted down here,

I might pop upstairs for a bit.

Yeah, we're good, aren't we?

Maybe don't serve me and Jake up just yet.

We might be some time.

Even in Australia, the drought's got to end sooner or later.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

Well, it's got the blood pumping, that's for sure.

Which is a very nice way to start the day.

Let me show you.

Yeah, and you will be too in a minute.

Well, erm, maybe we can make tonight an early one.

Good.

Num, num, num, num.

Sorry.

Sorry, bubba.

Erm...

You know what we could do?

We could have a teddy bear picnic.

Ooh! That sounds fun.

You're smiling.

What did I miss? Oh, nothing. Yet!

But... tonight's the night.

Hey, maybe you can organise a special dinner for us?

Sure. Chocolate, oysters, Viagra in the soup.

Whatever works, I will try it. Yeah, that's fine.

God, listen to me oversharing again.

No, it's cool.

Do you know, I think it just feels like the fresh start

that I dreamed of.

I'm really happy for you, Anna.

Good luck with your meeting today.

All the more reason to have a lovely dinner waiting for you

when you get home.

I am so sorry for everything that I've put you through.

I want you to look at me the way you used to. Do you remember?

You said I was so beautiful that it took your breath away.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

I want to be that couple again.

Same time this week.

Erm, sorry, next week, same day.

Thank you.

Morning. Phil. Yeah? Can we make some time to go through

the designs I did for the Westcott Group? Oh, yes, yes.

They would love to see a few more options.

Oh, what were the issues? Was it the colours? Or the fonts?

No, no, they love what you did. They just... They need...

They're hard to please.

Can I speak to someone? No, no, no, just play.

Have some fun. Now, if that's not a dream brief, I don't know what is.

I have to take this, but we can talk about this a bit later, OK?

It's great exercise. It really tones you up.

I'm saying Pilates is good for your health.

OK, now you're really sounding like an old man.

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

I feel like I could be organising your afternoons a lot better.

Yeah.

Tell me if I'm out of line asking you this,

but are you considering a divorce?

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you...

That's when it really gets messy. We'd know better than anyone.

You're a really good dad.

Yeah, I'll write a report of everything that happened.

SOFT MUSIC AND BABY GIGGLES

Come on, little man.

Go to sleep, all right?

Yeah, you're a good boy.

Good boy. Come on.

You've got to go to sleep...

I don't want to tire you out.

OK, apparently you've got a big night planned with your wife.

Yeah. No, she told me.

She's probably out buying some sexy undies for you right now.

She kept going on about how great things were

and how the drought was about to break.

You know, really fun stuff for me listen to.

Well, good.

I don't plan to share.

I just want to make that very clear.

SHE GIGGLES

You're enjoying this. Yes, you are.

I have waited all morning for you to come home.

And I've been torturing myself with these ridiculous scenarios, OK?

So stop efljoYing it-

Mm... Nice save.

Just now.

Oh, is that right?

SHE LAUGHS What the hell is that?

Mm.

SHE CHUCKLES

Ollie.

Hi.

Jake! Help!

Where is he?

What happened? I'm so sorry.

Where is my son?

His obs look good, but we need to keep him

for a few more hours, just to make sure.

It could have been a lot worse.

Obviously, we want to make sure something like this

doesn't happen again.

Babies shouldn't have anything loose in their cot.

No toys, no cords...

We are always so careful about that sort of thing.

It only takes one slip up, unfortunately.

What does she mean, one slip up?

What was it doing in his cot?

Didn't Becky see it? she was putting Oliver down to sleep.

Our son could have died!

I'm so sorry. How could you not see a toy in the cot?

I have no excuses. I'm just... Were you distracted?

Were you on your phone? And how did Grace even reach in?

You can't have been watching her either.

No!

I don't want her anywhere near my children.

Why are you defending her?!

All right.

But I don't want her left unattended around my kids.

SIREN

Well, I'll pack up...

and I'll be out of the house before Anna gets home.

Ollie almost died.

I thought he was dead.

I'm never going to forget it. I can just see him lying there...

No, I dropped the toy in the cot, OK?

I put it in there. We were so busy fucking

that your baby almost strangled himself.

Is she? ls she actually?

No.

She wants me out.

I heard her say it.

Hello, my darling.

Grandma!

Ooh.

Oh, Grandma's got some yummy pasta ready for you.

Oliver's at the doctors. I know.

But they're looking after him and he'll be home real soon.

Now, do you want cheese on your pasta? Yes, please.

Maybe you could help me get that sorted.

How on earth did this happen?

And she left it with Oliver?

An oversight?

How could she be so reckless?

Does she realise how serious this is?

Well, I'll make sure she does.

My grandson's in the hospital.

I am not going to sit back and say nothing.

Too forgiving of her.

Hey.

The doctor needs to sign off before we're allowed to leave.

She should be here soon.

He's already been through way too much for a little boy.

I still don't know how she was even able to reach in.

What?

Well, what's that got to do with Oliver?

Hey.

That still doesn't make it your fault.

Her job is to look after our children.

Why aren't you as angry as I am?

I do.

I mean, she's been very supportive of me.

But the bottom line is, I don't trust her any more.

I'm sorry...

but I want her gone.

Hi.

How's he doing?

OK. ls there anything I can help with?

No.

I've put your duck on a high shelf.

Maybe it can go out in the next hard rubbish collection...

I'm going to put him to bed. Grace is already asleep.

I've, erm, got some dinner for you. I'll warm it up.

Sleep tight, darling.

Mummy won't let anybody hurt you, OK?

How did you get there so fast?

The hospital, when Oliver was first brought in.

Why did Becky call you and not me?

What happened to your tie?

Well, you had it on this morning, didn't you?

I don't know why you're being so defensive.

You make it sound like you're hiding something.

AUDIBLE THROUGH WALL:

I'm curious, that's all.

I don't want this to be a fight.

I didn't.

Oh, you have been dying to throw that in my face all day.

Yes, and I haven't stopped tormenting myself since!

I asked you a question.

No, no, no, it wasn't...

LOUD THUD Ah!

WHISPERS: Anna?

Is everything OK with the kids?

Yeah.

I just wanted to be near them.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I know that you're probably sick of hearing me say it, but I am.

ANNA SIGHS

You know, I was the best parent in the world

until I actually had children.

But I had high standards for other people, let me tell you.

"Why do you bother having kids if you're just going to have a nanny?"

Cloth nappies. Organic food.

Definitely no dummies. God.

I cringe when I think about how...

"judgmental I was.

I'm definitely in no position to be judging you.

No, I should have seen the toy in the cot.

You weren't expecting it to be there.

It's my job to keep your kids safe.

You didn't strap them into the back of a car

and drive so fast that you could have killed them.

Oliver was only...

only a couple of months old.

I'd worked myself into a state.

I'd convinced myself that Jake was, uh...

Oh, I don't know what I was thinking.

I grabbed the keys and I piled the kids into the back-seat,

and the next thing I knew, I'd crashed into the embankment.

The police said it was a miracle that nobody was harmed.

It sounds like you weren't well.

No. No, I wasn't.

When I used to hear other mums

banging on about post-natal depression...

l thought they were just looking for sympathy.

Karma's a bitch, isn't it?

I don't know why Jake puts up with me.

He's been so good to me and all I do is find fault.

I pushed him too far.

Same as I always do.

I don't want you to go.

Are you sure?

You made a mistake.

We can move past it.

BIRDSONG

Mm.

She had post-natal depression.

You know, she might not be over it.

Yeah, but, like, shouldn't she be getting professional help now?

You know, I heard something crash last night.

Mm. I heard this, like, really loud thud coming from your bedroom.

And then I thought I heard Anna crying, as well.

Mm.

It's OK.

Maybe.

Yeah, how long are you thinking?

Yeah, but is it, like, weeks, or is it, like, months?

OK.

You've got to go to sleep, bubba.

Come on!

Oh, Grace!

Hey. Oh. Oh, sorry. Careful.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

I was concentrating on Ollie and I wasn't watching.

I'm sorry... It's OK.

L... l thought she was still playing with the... Becky, it's OK.

Daddy, can you play with me?

Well, I wouldn't say no if a restaurant reservation was included.

What about you?

Yay!

Don't feel like you have to be stuck with me or anything.

That place reminds me of your mother.

Yes, to her specification.

Well, could be fun.

I'm keen if you are.

Count me in.

OK, well, I'll get a shower and then we can be on our way.

CooL

Um, what the hell?

Yeah, but how is a day at your holiday house going to help?

Me?

Even smells of Cynthia in here.

THEY LAUGH

Here, we should open the doors.

Burn sage in every room, more like.

It's a great house, though.

Oh, my God, look at this view!

BEEPING

Oh.

Don't worry, it's just, ah, alarm reminding me to take my pills.

I keep forgetting, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Are they for your post-natal depression?

They're for all my issues.

The doctor assures me that they'll keep me on an even keel.

Mm. It must be good to talk to someone, like a professional.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

But I get in there and I just...

I don't know what to say. I just clam up.

I hate that I can't even make therapy work for me.

Maybe you just need someone different.

Jake thinks it's just money down the drain

and I am starting to think that he might be right.

Oh... Are you all right?

Yeah, fine.

It's just stuffy in here, isn't it?

Mm.

Oh...

It must be off at the fuse. This has happened before.

I can check. ls there a box somewhere?

Oh, thank you.

Yes, go down to the left of the pool down the stairs,

and it's in the shed in front of you.

OK, cool.

PHONE VIBRATES

SHE SIGHS

Oh.

KEYS JINGLE

Hi. Ah, it's locked.

Is there a key anywhere?

Ah, yeah, I forgot to tell you.

It's in the bird feeder above the door.

OK, thanks.

SHE KNOCKS Yes?

I emailed some more designs.

Did you look at them yet?

Yeah. They are wonderful. Great!

So should we set up a meeting for feedback?

Look, uh, thing is,

they are probably going to get put on the back burner. OK.

It happens all the time.

PHONE RINGS You know, we do all the hard work,

and then they just give us the run around. Sorry.

Yes?

Yeah, I need it Thursday.

Yeah, I know, it's... Yeah... Well, too bad. It has to be Thursday.

I'm starting to feel like I'm working on a phantom account.

The Westcott Group, they are on the books?

Yeah. They are a client?

Yeah, they're for real.

But they haven't commissioned anything in ages.

Is there enough work for me to be here?

Pavan, you know my husband and Phil are old uni mates

but that shouldn't stop you giving it to me straight.

I didn't come on board to be decoration.

The thing is, four people were let off only a couple of months ago,

and people weren't happy when we heard you were coming on board.

But Phil said you were only here on contract.

A short-term contract?

Yeah.

SHE SIGHS

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Oh, yeah, Oliver's doing really well.

Yeah, of course.

Do you want me to bring him in, too?

Was there a problem with the paperwork?

We haven't been in Australia very long,

but my husband said that the Medicare was all sorted.

There's no issues with that.

I thought we could have a chat about how things are going at home.

Can I get you some water?

I'm fine, thanks.

And Oliver's fine, too.

He's eating well, and he's sleeping well.

And how are you doing, Anna?

Obviously, I panicked at the time.

What parent wouldn't?

But there's no point tormenting yourself over what might have been.

It's not about tormenting anyone.

Certainly, from our point of view,

it's about taking steps to make sure your family's supported.

What support do you think we need?

I've only got some of your history,

but it's fair to say you've been under some pressure.

I'm sorry.

My hiStOFy?

No-one's making any accusations, Anna.

Like I said, we're looking for ways that we can help.

I don't need your help.

I wasn't even at home when it happened.

But you gave your son the toy?

I gave it to my daughter.

I didn't know that she was going to put it in Oliver's cot.

Who told you this?

We just want to make sure

that you're aware of the resources available to you.

PHONE RINGS

Did my husband say this to Doctor Lee?

I believe he told the paramedics at the house.

The house?

He took them through the whole thing when he showed them the cot.

And does it say anything about our nanny?

There's a note here.

She was very distressed.

But your husband did a great job of comforting her.

Anna, we just want to help you.

Maybe just take a read of these.

Ray, ah, stop here, please.

I can take you up to the house.

No, just stop.

I have to figure out what they're planning.

I have to be smarter than them.

Is there anything that your husband can use against you?

I don't want you to feel like this is

a situation that you can't get out of.

Do you ever think that he could really lose it?

What are you doing?

Stop... Stop!

Can you help me?

Cut the bullshit.

This is so messed up.
