[Alyssa] Normally,
I always kiss him first

[music continues]

[rumbling]

[music stops]

[James] Are you OK?
[Alyssa] Can I say something?

Can we wait?

Just for a bit, like, I don't know,
for a few days, is that OK?

[James] Yeah, of course

[Alyssa] I think it is OK
We've got, like, our whole lives

Plus, I might feel like it tomorrow

[ominous music]

[gentle snoring]

[ominous percussions]

[snoring continues]

[door creaks]

[Leslie moans in his sleep]

[dissonant chords]

[music fades]

[James] What?

Nothing

I can't believe I've got a brother

[Alyssa] I've probably got, like,
loads of them

All over the place
I know he's traveled

I've probably got family in Vietnam
or some sh*t

[James laughs]

I think I hate my dad
more than I hate my mum

Me, too

I hate both of mine,
but definitely hate my dad more

Why?

'Cause she d*ed and he didn't

She k*lled herself

[seagulls cry]

I was there

I didn't do anything

[melancholy music]

[Alyssa] What was she like?

Really kind

Really sad

She just always...

found everything a bit much, I think

- James?
- Yeah?

It wasn't your fault

[music builds]

[Alyssa] It's like we're at the edge
of the world

Like we're safe

Only... we're not

We can't stay here

- Nope
- We can't go home

[James] No

[Alyssa] We should go away
Properly away. Like, somewhere foreign

[James] Yeah

[Alyssa] Somewhere else
completely new and start again

Yeah

Do you want to do that, too?

Yes

[James] I really did want that

We could take your dad's boat

[James] We just need the keys

[music fades]

[melancholy music resumes]

[phone buzzes]

[ominous music]

[beep] If you're doing what I think
you're doing, then you're a f*cking idiot

Wherever you are,
call me when you get this

[Alyssa] It's much easier
to think someone's the answer

if you haven't seen them for years

Because they're not really real

People can't be answers
They're just more questions

Questions like:

"Why are you
such a f*cking useless dad?"

[music stops] [Leslie grunts]

Ah, f*ck!

[Leslie sighs]

Ah, Alyssa! Ah!

You came back! Oh, thank God

I was worried about you

- I was. I went looking for you everywhere
- No, you didn't

You ran over a dog, k*lled it,
then f*cked off and left me

Yeah, but after that. After all that

Wait, I k*lled the dog?

f*cking hell!

[Leslie laughs]

[Leslie] I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I was sh*t-faced

[Leslie continues to laugh]

[snorts] Oh, I'm sorry. I'm laughing
because it's bad, you know? I'm...

Can we go out on the boat?

What?

Your boat
Me and James want to go out on it

- Now?
- Yeah. Now

[Leslie sighs]

[Leslie] OK. Fine

Give me, like, ten minutes

- I need a sh*t and a Berocca
- You don't have to come with us

What do you mean?

Just mean, it's cool, we'll manage
James is a good driver

We'll have it back by lunchtime

Listen, girlie, I may not have seen you
for a few years...

but I wasn't born yesterday. OK?

So, what's the plan, then?

Sail across the Channel?

Get jobs at Disneyland Paris?

Change your names?

Who did you k*ll?

[ominous music]

What?

Your faces are on the telly

There's a reward out

[both] f*ck

Who did you k*ll?

[muffled] I'm not f*cking Judge Judy

I'm interested, is all

[phone buzzes]

[Leslie] Come on,
what did you do? Hmm?

What did you do, kiddo?

[hard] You are not taking
my f*cking boat, OK?

You don't want
to be drawing attention to yourselves

Take my word for it

OK. Everybody, just sit down,
and calm down

You're safe here, OK?

I promise

[Alyssa] Oh, you "promise," do you?

- Well, that means a lot
- Shut your f*cking mouth!

Don't speak to her like that

Or what?

Hmm?

[Leslie sniggers]

OK

OK, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

[Leslie] Look...

I'll make us a cup of tea

Yeah? Tea?

Yeah, OK

James, tea?

No, thanks

I'm gonna make you tea

[clattering]

[Leslie sighs]

Want the good news or bad news?

[Leslie] The bad news is:

we've no milk

But the good news is...

we've got biscuits

[Leslie] James?

Alyssa?

Yeah, go on, then

[music stops]

Seriously, girl, are you OK?

What happened?

You can tell me

Why would I trust you?

Come on, darling

Look, granted... I'm not the greatest

But I'm still your daddy
Of course you can trust me

Why didn't you tell me
about your little boy?

Because...

Ah, sh*t
Because I was embarrassed, OK?

Because I felt ashamed

He's called Milton

He's eight

He's weirdly good at spelling

I'm sorry, I should have said

[Leslie] Can we start again? Please?

- There was a man
- Alyssa...

OK...

[ominous beats]

We k*lled him

OK

[Leslie] Don't worry, it's OK

He was going to hurt me

[Leslie] Oh, darling

He was bad

He was really bad

[music builds]

[James] I don't know why I knew

I just did [Alyssa whimpers]

Something didn't feel right

Hey, it's OK

It's OK

[Leslie] Darling...

[Leslie] Darling?
[James] I k*lled him

I k*lled him
She didn't do anything

[phone] Stay where you are

- He called 999
- What?

Baby? Baby, listen to me
I'm trying to protect you

[Alyssa] You fucker!
[Leslie] Argh!

Police!
[Leslie screams]

[radio] We've found the suspects
The boy's confessed to the m*rder

Where are they?

We've traced the call to the coast road
Armed unit on its way now

[police siren]

[Leslie] Argh!
[Alyssa] You actually in the police?

Yes!

Can you stop pointing
that at me, please?

[Leslie moans]

[sirens]

[Eunice] I wouldn't do that
[Leslie] What? Why?

The Kn*fe's stemming the blood. Leave it

Have you got any antiseptic?

[Leslie] I've got some Arnica
in the bathroom

[Eunice] Let's not piss into the wind
Just leave it

You'll be fine
An armed unit's on its way

[Eunice] OK, look. We haven't got long
[James] What is going on?

I want to help you, all right? Listen

[James] We need to go
[Eunice] No

[Eunice] Can't let you do that
You can't keep running

You can't

It's better that you hand yourselves
in now, willingly, to me,

and I can help you
sort out a manslaughter plea

- Please, can you move?
- No, you have to stop

Especially you, James

- You're 18 now
- What?

- Happy birthday, by the way
- What, today?

You're eighteenth?

Why didn't you say anything?

I would've got you a present

[Eunice] I saw your dad yesterday

He told me about your mum

He showed me the picture of you all
The one in his wallet

He doesn't have one in his wallet

Is he angry with me?

No, he's worried

Your mum's worried, too

Yeah, right

She is

Your stepdad's a nasty twat isn't he?

Yeah

What'll happen to us
if we do what you say?

Nothing too bad

[Eunice] If you let me help you
[Leslie] Yeah, right

- Sorry?
- Don't lie to them

They'll lock you up
and throw away the key

Mr. Foley, that's actually not the case

They will

- Don't listen to her
- You called the police, Leslie!

Whoa! I'm trying to protect you

- From him
- Oh, really?

[Alyssa] It wasn't for the reward?

How much?

Look, you didn't k*ll anybody, did you?

- He's right
- What?

- I'll go with you. I'll hand myself in
- What? No way!

[Leslie] Listen, sweetheart,
take it from someone who knows

- You take after your mum
- What?

You have sh*t taste in men

[Leslie] Take the opportunity
to get rid of this one

Argh! What is wrong with you?

You want to know what's wrong
with me, yeah?

You

You are. You don't care about me

- You don't give the tiniest sh*t...
- Course I care. Of course I give a sh*t...

You shouldn't just make people
if you're going to abandon them

because they think they've done
something wrong their whole lives

Don't give me that victim sh*t, Alyssa

[Leslie] We can all do that
"I'm anorexic because I was adopted."

"I cheat on women
because I wasn't breastfed."

[Leslie] Everyone has a reason
for how they behave

[James] What's yours then?
[Leslie] Huh?

[James] Why are you such a prick?
[Alyssa] I love him so much

[Leslie] You know what? He's right

But I didn't come looking for you

Right? I kept away

I thought it would be best
if you forgot all about me

- We haven't really got time...
- Just give me a second

Why did you send me the cards, then?

For my birthday

[silence]

Did you even send them?

Oh, my God, was it my mum?

[Leslie] She shouldn't have done it
It's really irresponsible

I feel like I'm going mad

Hey! To be mad in a deranged...

Shut up! Shut the f*ck up!
Stop quoting yourself!

[ominous music]

Will we go to prison if we hand
ourselves in? Or juvenile? Will we?

Look, yes, possibly

- We wouldn't go to the same place?
- No, but the thing...

- No?
- No

- I'm sorry
- Why?

[Leslie] Jesus Christ!

Give me the keys to your boat

[James] She's breathing

Come on, James, we have to go now!

[fast-paced action music]

[music fades]
[Alyssa] sh*t!

[ominous music]

f*ck!

Argh!

[shout] Armed police! Armed police!
Stay down!

[policemen shout]

[Teri] Eunice, can you hear me? Eunice?

[policeman] They're on the beach!

[policeman] Move out! Move out!

Say that I kidnapped you

- What?
- Yeah

Tell them that I did it all

Then you'll be OK
Nothing will happen to you

No. No way
We're going together. Come on!

[policemen shout]

- I'm sorry
- Why?

[shout] Armed police, stay where you are!

Put down the w*apon!

What the f*ck are you doing?

[screams] James!

[g*nsh*t]

[Alyssa screams] No!
[policemen shout]

No! Get off me!

[muffled rumbling]

[James] I've just turned 18

And I think I understand...

[labored breathing]

...what people mean to each other

[rumbling intensifies]

[rumbling softens]

[piercing g*nsh*t]
