I went into her room just now,

and she was so scared,

As if I was gonna..

You've got to speak with tanya

straight away.

This is not normal!

Lucas..

We can't give up on her

At the first problem

we encounter.

She is traumatized.

We'll see tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

no, please!

Aah!

What the hell

are you doing there?

Go home!

Didn't you hear me?

Get outta here.

Get lost!

Are you coming outside

with me?

Help us, please.

Help us.

Please.

please..

Mommy!

Shut up!

No.

No!

What's going on?

Who's doing that?

Make it stop.

Make it stop!

Make it stop!

I'm not doing anything,

mummy!

What is it?

What is it?!

peter.. Peter!

Let her go, mummy!

Please, I'm begging you!

Neve!

Neve.

Neve, can you hear me?

Jenny will pick

the little ones up

From school,

don't worry about that.

Neve says she hasn't seen

peter or emily.

They've disappeared.

Couldn't get anything

out of her.

It's just a coincidence.

I'm not sure.

There are fingerprints

of several children

All over the house,

and neve's are amongst them.

It doesn't prove anything.

She could have left them

there anytime.

What?

What do you think

neve has done?

You think she murdered

an entire family?

Nobody's saying that, nat.

But the circumstances

Surrounding both

murder scenes

Are very similar.

And she ran away

from your house

Just when it was happening.

So?

She can't even remember

who killed her parents.

I don't know,

that's what she says.

Children are very easily

influenced.

And these people,

these..

..Murderers..

Maybe she knows them.

Or maybe she's listening

to what they tell her.

I just..

I I don't know.

What?

Lucas..

Say something!

Maybe it's best just to keep her

out of the way for a while.

Everyone knows everyone's

business around here.

People are superstitious.

They're gonna start

imagining things.

No, she must go

back to school as normal.

You must tell people

to stop talking rubbish.

And I'll do the same.

She'll never get over this

if nobody helps her.

What about your daughter?

She's the same age as neve,

isn't she?

And she has a birthday party

next week,

You should invite neve.

It would suit you to keep her

cooped up here,

But henry helped your

little girl when she was tiny.

People protect themselves.

They protect their kids.

That's all.

No one's going to leave you

in the lurch, nat, okay?

I'll come by tomorrow.

But I'm asking you

to do one thing.

Keep an eye on her.

She mustn't go out alone,

or sleep by herself.

We can't find her

wandering the streets.

how many different species

Can you name

from memory?

..According to

the estimated figures,

Between five and a hundred

million different species
