but it's spread further now.

So they can't operate anymore.

So that's one

good thing at least.

So, what happens now?

Good question.

Did you run away?

You make it sound so dramatic.

You've no family?

Just me and my Mum.

My Dad died a few years ago.

That's where I got it from,

his side of the family.

But I got his smile, too.

So, it all balances out.

Right?

Will she come here

looking for you?

Maybe.

You can sit beside

me if you want.

That's great!

How did you do it?

- Where? Here?

- Blow hard!

- You're eating it.

- It's wild garlic.

I think I could find my

way back from here.

Thank you, James.

I had a really nice time.

I would hope.

Well, I'll see you around.

Mae West O'Mara!

Mae!

We've checked every inch

of the building and grounds.

So, I think it's time

we widened the search.

These are by P which is Greek to me.

Think we should

dredge the river?

No, she didn't kill herself.

Mae is not the kind of

angsty teenager who's

going to do herself in.

She loves life!

And that's the problem;

that's why she left.

Maybe you should go home,

get some rest.

I'm not going anywhere

until you find my daughter

and bring her back safe.

Liam?

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry I didn't

say anything before, it's that...

I didn't want to

get Mae into trouble.

What are you talking about, Liam?

I know which way she went.

James?

Are you okay?

What happened here?

You're bleeding.

I'm sorry.

What?

Are you okay?

We've got a lot of ground

to cover before dark.

Mae!

Mae!

That's enough for tonight.

We'll start back here

in the morning.

Sergeant!

Can't we just...

just another hour?

Is that your mother?

Why didn't you go out to her?

And just leave you here?

You should have.

It's okay.

You shouldn't be here.

You should have gone long ago.

You said you'd...

go as you said.

I'd never even know you were here.

You're the one who came after me.

I can't have people coming here.

You need to go back.

They're not going

to hurt you, James.

What are you afraid of?

You're not safe here.

You think I'm in danger?

Why?

Why do you want me to go?

'Cause...

no one can be around me.

Because I can't stop it.

I can never stop it...

not here...

not at the farm...

not at the Reformatory.

People have been dying

around me all my life.

No one knew

what had happened.

But it happened again

at the Reformatory.

And..

I could...

I could feel it welling up in me...

I could hardly breathe.

I tried to fight it back, but...

it was too late.

The lads...

closest to me were already...

Couldn't hide from it anymore.

It was my fault.

All I could think of was to run.

At the far end of the grounds,
