It's already been used,

and it's cold.

You'll feel better afterwards,

you'll see.

Now, now.. Turn around.

Let me help you.

Don't be scared.

That's the way to do it.

You remember, don't you.

Oh!

Hurt myself

with that damn..

Sorry.

No.. No!

It's okay,

it's just a draft.

Just some clothes

on the floor.

Everything's fine, okay?

There's nothing to be scared of.

Trust me.

They've nothing.

Nothing whatsoever,

not even a lead.

I know you spoke

to joseph today, neve,

Down at the police station.

He came to school.

He wants to punish

those bad people

Who did all that nasty stuff

at your house.

So that's why

he's persevering.

You do understand?

And also, so it doesn't

happen again.

I've already said it.

It's the house.

We can call

your father's sister later.

The one who lives

in the states.

Wouldn't you like

to see her, or speak to her?

It's my belt.

One of the trouser loops

is broken,

And the belt

keeps rising up.

It itches.

Someone at school

thought you were my sister,

That you'd come back.

Ryan!

My dead sister mary.

You were friends

when you were little.

Your daddy

was her doctor.

She had cancer.

Fee, fie, foe, fum!

Finished, finished,

finished, finished!

Lucy, please.

Hey, give that back!

Give it back!

Hey!

That's enough.

If you're not back

at the table

By the time I've counted to ten,

you're going straight to bed.

One..

Two..

Nat, we're all out of beer.

Three..

Four..

I'll get some.

Ryan and lucy,

come help me pick a bottle.

Yaay! The cellar!

The cellar!

I'm not scared.

You're a scaredy cat.

No, you are.

No, I'm not. You are.

Ryan, no running.

We used to have

another little girl, but, em..

..She died.

We didn't say anything,

Because it happened

a long time ago.

That's all.

And we didn't want it

to upset you.

Ryan, just I'm gonna

switch the light back on.

Did you knock it over?

That doesn't matter,

don't cry.

Neve?

Oh!

Nat?

Nat?!

Stay where you are!

You have to..

Nat!

You okay?!

Are you hurt?

daddy.. Daddy!

What happened here?

Daddy!

Daddy!

daddy..

Are you hurt, ryan?

No.

Shh, shh.

Neve?

Oh, neve..

What..?

Neve!

Leave her alone, okay?

I'll put these two to bed,

And then I'll

I'll be right back, okay?

Sorry.

Let's throw everything away

that could harm anyone,

And we'll sort out the rest

tomorrow, okay?

Nat, this is impossible.

Have you seen

what she's done?

It's not the same

for ryan and lucy.

They were bumping

into everything.

And scared.

They hurt themselves.

But her..

Why did she..

I don't know, lucas.

Don't you think she got scared

by all the screaming

And the noises in the cellar?

Maybe it reminded her

of that night.
