your mum have then, Noel?

It was a guesthouse.

I trashed it.

Was it a big place?

Yeah, it was fairly big.

Well... do you... should we

go back to your place then?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Be nice.

- Yeah, you could come

back to mine. - Yeah.

- Glad you waited for me.

- I didn't.

How did you learn

to play like that?

I practiced.

For how long?

200 years.

That's how it feels anyways,

doesn't it?

Passed around a teacup.

Raised some cash for you.

It's not much.

Thank you.

That piece of paper.

That's my phone number.

I don't have a phone.

So... ni... nice to meet you.

Good-bye.

Ella! Look who I found!

We're damsels in distress.

Oh.

Do you know what Noel is, Ella?

He's a knight in shining armor

come to deliver us from evil,

aren't you?

This is my little baby sister.

- Hi.

- Hello.

There we go. Ah...

Been looking for you everywhere.

- Can't find my keys.

- Oh...

Oh... I'll just open up.

Come in.

Look, I'm trusting you, Camilla.

- Don't.

- I won't.

Look, I'm not saying it's tidy.

It was a hotel once.

And a boarding house.

My mum had the top three floors.

Used to do B-and-Bs, you know?

Families and that.

Then it was more,

you know, the welfare lot.

It's a bit run down now,

but she wouldn't let it go.

Loved the views,

you should see.

Fantastic view of the

pier from up here.

Lovely.

This is the dining area.

Well... it's nice.

Yeah... it's lovely.

It's a bit of a state, like I said,

but I wasn't expecting company.

Tell my sister where

her room is, love.

Yeah.

Ella?

I'll show you to your room.

I went 'round the house and...

Smashed things up.

I didn't wanna look at myself.

Camilla said that, um,

you lost your mum too.

She's your legal guardian.

How brave of her.

I understand what

she's had to do.

Do you?

Well, she needs money.

Well, what I'm saying is,

um... I don't care.

You can stay.

Thank you.

Only those prepared to

die will find eternal life.

Go on, go on.

- This is the end.

- Of what?

Of time.

Good boy...

Ooh...

- Who was he?

- It's in the past, Ella, let it go.

- Who was he?

- He was a f***ing monster.

I should get a medal

for what I did to him.

- Will we move on today?

- Are you tired, my love?

Well...

I reckon that we should hang on

here for a few days, don't you?

Yeah, we can lay low,

get some rest, get some money.

I could start up one of my old

businesses like in the old days.

- You don't have to do that.

- Oh, come on, Ella.

Look at this place, it's perfect.

We'd rake it in.

Why don't we find another way?

It's all right, angel.

I'll make sure you're not involved.

I'm sorry, Noel.

Oh...

I was worried I dreamt you.

I thought I'd wake up
