[clank]
Maybe you'd like me to
kick you out of the house...
and then you can see what
it's really like out there.
Is that what you want?
Huh?
No, Ma.
I want to stay here with you.
Stop your ranting.
You're making my

My car died.
Um...
We don't have one.
You don't have a phone?

'Cuz you look really familiar.
Please. Can you just go away?
[clock ticking]
[slurred singing]
You gonna kiss me, baby...
What are you doing up?
Couldn't sleep.
Where's the food, Ma?
Quit pestering me.
Ma!
If you won't give me any money,
why don't you let me get a job?
Well, how many
times have I told you?
It's a dangerous
world out there.
Very, very dangerous.
Now let me have a nice
relaxing drink...in peace.
Haven't you had enough?
Ahh!!!
Don't you ever

[snoring]
[birds chirping]
Hey, darl.

She's looking for
some action, mate.
C'mon guys, leave her alone.
What's the matter with ya?
It's just a bit of fun.
You on your way home, beautiful?
Whacha been up to
all night, darling?
Maybe she's a vampire.
Ooooh, you can suck
on my blood, baby.
I've got something better
than blood for you to suck on.
[laughing]
[intense music plays]
?
- She's mine.
- She's not yours.
Guys!
Kev!
This is fucked, mate!
Well, fuck off then!
Ahh!!!
Get off me!
You afraid of me, darl?
You should be.
You should be very, very afraid.
Kev! Back off!
Chill out, mate!
What the fuck's going on here?
You two looking for something?
Good. Now piss off!
[door squeaking, closes]
[gasps]
Where the hell have you been?
I went to the toilet.
[scoffs]
You went to the toilet?
What do you think I am?
A fucking idiot?
Where the fuck were you?
Where?!
I went to get something to eat.
You left the house!
I was hungry, Ma!
Ahh!!!
Ma! Please don't!
No, Ma! No!
Shut up!
No, Ma, please!
I swear to God, Billie...
If you mess with me,
I'll fucking kill you!
Do you think I
enjoying doing this?
Do you?
[crying]
Because I don't!
I just want you to
stop your lying.
I'm sick and tired of your
fucking...disobeying me.
I know what
you're doing, Billie.
I wasn't born yesterday,
you know.
You going out and
meeting boys, aren't ya?
No, Ma. I'm not.
Making out, doing drugs...
Having a good time.
No, I'm not doing
any of those things!
But you'd like to,
wouldn't you?!
Well, darl...
So did I when I was your age.
But I didn't get to...
So you won't either.
Billie, come here,
I've made you something to eat.
C'mon, honey.
I didn't go all the way to
the shops and back for nothing.
[chains rattling]
Where do you think you're going?
Can't eat anymore.
Stay with me, honey.
Keep me company?
You know I was about your age
when Patrick gave me this?
We were so in love.
Talked about getting married,
having three children.
That's how many
I told him I wanted.
And he didn't mind.
He wanted three children too.
Three boys.
And look what I got...
A fucking girl..
A fucking bastard girl!
Ma, I've heard all this before.
Wasn't my fault your daddy
was waiting for me,
following me that day.
Wasn't my fault you insisted
on growing inside of me.
And your grandmother...
Know what she did?
She beat me senseless.
You remember that, Ma?!
[eerie voices]
Oh, shit!
Ma, what is it?
Ma!
You were so desperate
to be born.
Desperate and determined
to ruin my life!
It's all your fault
I turned out like this.
It's all your fault!
I - I deserve so much better.
You fucked up my life.
Well and truly fucked it up!
Shut up, Ma.
I hate you! I hate you!
Shut up!!!
[breathing heavily]
[chains rattling on floor]
Ma?
Ma?
Ma? Ma?!
C'mon, c'mon!
Somebody?
Is anyone there?
Somebody help!
Someone?
Somebody there?
Help me, someone!
Someone!
What's going on?
Are you okay?
You alright?
Come round to the back.
Okay. This way.
Is she breathing?
Yeah.
Is there a key for the chain?
Uh... In a jar.
Up there by the window.
Let's get her in the car.
You can see your mother now.
[ominous, sustained tone plays]
[eerie, faint voice]
Do you want me
to take you home?
No.

[seagulls squawking]
[eerie voice]
[very dark music tones]
[gasps]
Piss off, bitch!
Hey...
You know what
I feel like doing?
I just want to take
this car and keep driving.
And go where?
Anywhere. I don't care.
Somewhere far from here.
You should come with me.
What?
You mean...
leave and never come back?
Yeah.
Well, what about my mother?
What about her?
Well, she's pretty sick.
I can't leave her now.
You've got to get
out of that house, Billie.
It's dangerous.
If you don't leave now,
you might not
get another chance.
I'll look after you, Billie.
You know I will.
[ominous, sustained tone]
Okay.
I'll go with you.
I'll go grab my stuff.
I'll come pick you up soon.
You mean, we're leaving tonight?
The sooner the better.
