The Disappeared Page #2

I had to tell you, man.

(ominous music)

Testing, testing, one, two, three...

I don't know why I'm doing this, mate.

Someone said to do it.

(laughs)

Someone f***ing said...

So I'm f***ing sat here,

in the middle of

a f***ing playground, yeah,

talking to you on a f***ing recorder.

Is this where you went from?

If you're out there.

(laughs)

You know, f***ing say, dude.

Let's just know, yeah.

Let's not this in between.

You shouldn't have gone.

That wasn't fair.

What is it happened, eh?

It's quiet and quiet and quiet in there.

Freak.

You've been in our playground

talking to yourself.

What are you f***ing doing

in our playground, you prick.

First sign of madness.

[Voiceover]

Wait! Wait, where you going?

Hold this f***ing thing, huh?

What are you listening to?

Some f***ing girl band?

You're that kid whose brother

went missing, yeah?

I saw you on TV the other day.

Your dad was f***ing

crying and everything.

Everybody says your dad did it.

Your mom went missing as well, did she?

I'd be f***ing worried if I was you.

(thud)

(cries and thuds)

(laughing)

Matt?

(groans)

Matt?

Matt, you all right?

Hello.

(groans)

(water running)

So take it down, yeah.

Like, there's one thing I know about.

It's cleaning up cuts and bruises.

Do you miss your mum?

Not really, she left so long ago,

I don't think about her

that much, you know.

Tom was so young.

He never even knew her.

They're the freaks.

Beating you up after everything

that your family has been through.

Family.

Yeah, it's not much of family, really.

Dad hates me.

He blames me for what happened to Tom.

Dad was out.

We were having a party,

and Tom wanted to go to the playground.

And it was my birthday, so you know,

I'm drinking and I'm smoking and...

And by the time I come to collect him,

he was gone.

He'll be home soon.

What's with your dad, Amy?

Okay, listen, thanks. Yeah.

I'll track you there.

(door slams)

How'd your appointment go today?

Fine.

Been taking the pills?

Yeah.

Matthew.

What happened to your face?

Fell over.

(door slams)

[Matthew]

Let's just know.

Let's not just this in between.

You shouldn't have gone.

It wasn't fair.

[Tom] Help me, Matthew.

It's dark in here.

I'm really scared.

What's that you're listening to?

Nothing.

Are you sure you're all right?

(door slams)

(crying)

(gagging)

I was just on my way out, actually.

Matthew, you know how

important our meetings are.

No one said you were coming.

I just have to check that

you're settling back all right.

F***in' A.

As your care worker,

I just have to tick a few boxes.

Why did you miss

your outpatient appointment?

I was sick.

Try not to miss the next one.
