ECHOING CHILDREN'S SINGING

CHILDREN: # And it's from the old
I travel to the new

# Keep me travelling along
with you. #

Right, so which one's the oval?

This one! Iris, well done!

So which part are we
going to do next?

CHILDREN: Petals!
The petals. That's right. Well done.



So, dab your sponge into the paint,
just like you did with the circle.

That's a very big petal
you're doing there!

That's great, well done, Charlotte.
That's very good!

Right, start finishing doing
your petals

and we're going to move on
to the next shape in a minute.

That's beautiful! Well done, Lola.

Very good choice of colour.
Better? Yeah, it's just your hair.

So you're going to dunk your finger,

and then you're going to paint
the stalk in a straight line

from your flower, all the way down
to the bottom of your picture.

A bit more on there.
Everyone, show me your hands.

How mucky are your hands?
Very mucky!

Who's got the muckiest hands?

CHILDREN: Me!
SHE GASPS



Now, what we're going to do is,
we're going to stay

in these partners. So when we go out
on the street, I need you

to remember who your partner is.
CHATTER

That one is beautiful! OK.

All right, let's go.

CHILDREN LAUGH, CHATTER

Oh, hey, hey, hey! Get back.

Get back, please!
Who's your partner?

Get with your partner!

CHATTER

We're going to say hello
to everybody. Give them a wave!

SIREN BLARES

Go back down there,
left, left again.

INAUDIBLE

Right, everyone up by the side
of the fence here.

Straight down, this is where
we're going to see the bikes.

There we go!

Keep going down.
Keep going down. Straight down!

Straight down. Hi, Dad! Hey!
Let's see if we can see the bikes.

KATE: Right behind the barriers.

SHE SQUEALS, LAUGHS

MAN ROARS, CHILDREN SQUEAL

Here you go.

Do you know how many points that is?

Oh, for God's sake. Have it, woman.

Give it to me AFTER the weigh-in.

Fine. I'm going to save it for you.

But I don't even know
why you are still going -

cos you look great.

Any excuse to get out the house.

Even if it does involve
a talk on complex carbs.

Isn't wine a complex carb? Mm.

Oh, no. No!

No, don't tempt me.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm just a bit bored
of it all, to be honest.

But the embryos go back in
next week, so...

It'll be worth it this time.

It will.

I have a good feeling.

What are they doing?

What dickheads!

They shouldn't be allowed near fire.

Cheers. Cheers.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Look at Tom!

They're at it again.

Last weekend, I had them.

The weekend before that...
Just tell her to fuck off.

I'll tell her if you want.
No. Don't. Don't!

SHE CHUCKLES

It's two hours. No, it's not!

What?! It's every fucking time!
It's not every fucking time!

Hiya. Hiya.

Sandra wants us
to have the boys Sunday.

Oh.

Just for a few hours.

Yeah. I don't mind.
Just bring them round whenever.

Thank you, Jess.

See? That's how it's done.

I don't mind, Steve. I don't mind.

Oh, mate, what's happened?

He burnt his arm.
He was poking the fire.

Aw, come here!
Let's go and sit down.

Well done!

You have been such a brave boy.

Hasn't he been a brave boy, Iris,
eh? You have it.

Aw-w-w!

What do you say? Thank you.

You're a lovely girl.

What you going to call it?

Bradley.

LAUGHTER
Bottle of white wine. What kind?

That's it.
Literally any old crappy stuff.

Shove the lamb on a rack, couple of
carrots, couple of onions...

KATE: Celery!
..celery. Yeah.

Shove it in the oven. That's it.
Sounds amazing. Yeah. It is.

It's really amazing.
What time do you want us?

7.30? OK. Perfect!

Don't let me drink.

Jess, as your GP,
one drink won't do you any harm.

You see? This man knows. Yes.

See you, mate. Night, mate.

Night, darling. Bye, boys!

BOY: Night, girls!

THEY LAUGH

Sleep well. Night, Kate.

Night-night. Night, Steve.
You sleep well. You too.

Night, girls! Bye!

Come on!

Nigh-night!

Goodnight! Night.

That was lovely, wasn't it?

Perfect.

I really don't give a shit, Steve.

I know you don't, but... Bodhi!
DOG WHINES

..she takes the piss.
It's almost every weekend.

I know. I know she takes the piss.

But it doesn't matter.

You know, I'll just take them
to the park or something.

You're too good.

I just can't be arsed
with the arguing.

DOG WHINES

Dad. Jess.

There's a burglar.

ECHOING VOICES

Last one there is a rotten egg.
Oh, wait up.

Right... Mum. Yes, love?

Did you bring the candles?

I put them in and I'm sure of it.

Mummy and Nana Ruth made a cake
with sparkles on it.

And you can eat the sparkles.

You can eat the sparkles?!

Well, isn't that lovely?

How are you, Mum?

We couldn't have gone bowling?
Charlotte's choice.

You don't argue
with a five-year-old, do you? Eh?

Iris, wait!

Iris, wait for us.

RHYTHMIC BEEPING CONTINUES

LAUGHTER
How did that get in?

Oh! Go, Elliot, get in. Score now.
That's not fair!

DOGS BARK
KIDS SHOUT

If your mother says one word...

She's not going to say anything.
Not with me here.

She can't help herself.
It's like Tourette's.

Just ignore her.
I can take her out if you want.

Suplex. Frog splash.
Get her in a headlock.

AH! Come on.

FIRE ROARS, RAGGED BREATHING

Pull over.

Pull over!

PANICKED BREATHING

HE BREATHES DEEPLY

BREATHES HEAVILY

I tried to help. I know you did.

I tried to get them out, didn't I?
I know you did. Breathe.

Didn't I? Look at me.

DOOR OPENS

How are we going to tell the boys?

WATER RUNS

DOOR SQUEAKS

Were all the bodies found
inside the house?

Yeah, why?

Pine needles...

..in Emily's pyjamas...

..in her feet.

And look at this.

See here?

They've all been injected
with something.

Any idea what?

Toxicology are getting back to us
as soon as they can.

Might be time to give
the Glasgow boys a call.

Aye.

MAN: Everything that lives...

..has its time on this planet.

All the animals...

..all the flowers...

..all the people.

Ready?

Yeah.

We all have time to do the things
we like doing,

like...laughing,

and dancing,

and playing with our friends.

Most people get lots
and lots of time...

Why don't you get a seat in there
and I'll...I'll go and fetch her?

..and they live to be very old.

But, sometimes...

..people only get
a little bit of time.

HIS VOICE CRACKS

Last night something very sad
happened.

And I know it's very hard
to understand.

Charlotte...

..and Iris and Emily may not
be with us any more...

..but they're all together
with their mummy now.

Let's take a moment to remember
our wonderful friends, shall we?

Let's remember them happy...

..and playing together.

And we hope that Dr Kendrick gets
better very soon.

DRIPPING WATER

One origin, do you think?

The kitchen, by the looks of it.

What sort of timeframe
are we looking at?

Kate made a call to Carol,
her mother-in-law, at 11:23.

Carol couldn't hear anyone
on the line, so she hung up.

The first emergency call was
15 minutes later.

This was padlocked?

Yeah.

From the outside.

Christ.

Go on, then.

Hurry up.

Just one thing to share, OK?

Just eat it quietly.

I've got it.

All right, Elliot?

I'll open it.

Hi.

CRYING: Oh, Jess...

Oh...

Hi, Carol.

How is he?

Maybe it would be best
if he just went.

Come on.

You don't mean that.

She was on antidepressants?

A dose of 10mg.

Ah...which you'd just dropped?

Down from 20, yes.

She had a hard time
after Charlotte was born.

The birth was traumatic, but she was

feeling much better in herself,
so...

Was it depression?

Or anxiety?

A combination.

She WAS feeling much better
in herself.

You not enjoying the film?
It's for babies.

Why don't you go upstairs
and watch...

No. Play with your computer, then.

What's the point?
It's not even interesting.

Go and play upstairs. Are you
hungry? Get a wee bit of chocolate.

Elliot asked
if he was gonna die too.

You didn't tell ME that.

Yes, I did.

What did you say?

Oh, I don't know, just some crap
about how,

you know, we'd always keep him safe.
When?

When did you tell me that?
This morning.

It just felt kind of, like,
hollow, you know?

Like, "Your friends are dead,
there's a psycho out there,

"but, hey, everything's gonna be
fine." There's not a psycho

out there. Four people have been
murdered, Simon.

I think we can be pretty sure.
No, what I'm saying is...

It must be a stranger.
Let's not speculate.

They were asking about Kate's
medical history. Mark.

Well, it's not a massive secret,
is it?

After Charlotte, you mean?

It was hard for her, wasn't it?
Poor thing.

It happens, believe me.
It's hormones.

It has to be random.
It's not random. Simon.

It's not fucking random.
It's not a stranger...

OK. You're drunk. It's Tom.

Jesus.

Simon...

I'll just go and check on the kids.

HE VOMITS

HE SOBS

And you're sure it's all right
for Molly to stay?

Yeah. God, yeah. I'll just drop her
back tomorrow. It'll be fine.

I'm so sorry. It's fine.

Go easy on him.

Bye. Bye. Bye, Simon. You all right?

Bye. Bye. Thanks, darling.
Text me when you get back, yeah?

I will. Cheers. OK. Night-night.
Night. Bye.

Ow.

DO they think it's Kate?

I know. Sorry.

It'll be a stranger.

It's not Kate.

LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING

EXCITED CHATTER

Charlotte! Let me see.
She's fine, she's fine.

Nana, Charlotte's fallen down!

Oh, darling. She's fine.

Why was she on her own? You're just
a wee bit soggy, aren't you,

darling? We weren't far away.

Why wasn't somebody with her?
She's fine.

Someone should've been with her.
Oh, fuck off, Carol!

Grandad! Charlotte's hurt.
It's all right. No harm done.

Charlotte's hurt herself.

Just a wee fall, she's fine.

El, El, El.

I'm just checking if she's OK.
What's wrong with Mum?

Jesus, she was trying to help.

What? Nothing.

Can we not have a nice time,
just for one day?

Always have to be about you?

Fine.
Go, if you're gonna be like this.

Take the kids. Fine.

Come on, don't be a prick. Kate!

Kate.

She OK? She does my head in
when she's like this.

I'll go. Are you sure?

Not really. Thank you.

Kate, I'll come with you.

Come on. Come on, kids. Bye.
Come on, girls.

It's Charlotte's birthday.
Leave the girls.

Steve, we're going back.
But I don't want to go.

We're just gonna get in the car, OK?

Did it hurt them, the fire?

No. They were all asleep.

It really, really hurt
when I touched it.

They were asleep, baby.

They were all fast asleep.

Stevo!

You lot all right? Yeah.

You see the bodies?

What they look like?
Resident Evil?

Stay off the nox for one night,
eh, Dylan?

Stop it!

Nice work on the padlock, Steve.

And this... Yeah, this one's
for you. Thank you.

FROM COMPUTER: Try again.
Aw, bad bounce.

Dad! OK, ready? Go.

Arrrgh!

Hey, Doc! What are you doing?

Is this your patient?

Patient Iris.

What's wrong, Iris? I hurt my leg
at football, again.

Oh. I think the doctor's gonna
take care of you, don't worry.

Oh, smoking a spliff on a school
night?! Ooh. Is that on? No?

It is, you bastard. Turn it off!

Turn it off!

MOBILE RINGS AND VIBRATES

Sergeant Campbell speaking.

No, it's mine!

Mummy! It's what they do,
mother-in-laws.

You know, it's why they're here.
You know, to make you feel bad.

Iris, it's Charlotte's go.
But she had it before.

I don't care. Give it to her. No!

Mummy... I mean, why do you care
what she thinks, anyway?

Mum! I mean, it's Tom that matters.
And he fricking adores you.

It's mine. Is that right?
But Iris, I'm really bored.

I don't care. Mummy!

Just give it to her!
Give it to her now!
