[indistinct whispering]
[whispering stops]
What are you doing just
standing there, staring?
God, she gives me the creeps.
Here, make yourself useful.
Come on, then.
Now go to your room.
[sighs] Not until breakfast.
Eating snacks ruins your teeth.
And I will be inspecting
your teeth,
just to make sure you're not
snacking behind our backs.
[indistinct whispers resume
and then fade]
[distorted, ominous whispering]
[Mother] This wine's nice.
Are you deaf as well as dumb?
Bed. Now.
Thought I could sense something.
[air rushing]
[indistinct whispering]
Silence!
[moans loudly]
- [glass shatters]
- [screams]
[Mother] What the hell
was that?!
[panting]
[girl yelps]
Hannah!
What have you been doing?!
Look at me! I said what...
What have you been doing?
What have you been doing?
[screams, then whimpers]
What have you been doing?
Look at me!
Look!
[continued whimpers
and short screams]
If you carry on misbehaving,
- [exhales deeply]
- Okay?
- [quiet whimpers]
- Have you calmed down?
And you know what she
likes to do, don't you?
[soft whimpering]
So be a good girl.
[whimpers loudly, screams]
- [child giggles]
- [door opens]
- [Father] Ah!
- [gasps]
- You little...
- [screams] No!
- [Father] Here comes Mother.
- [screams]
What's the little b*tch
been up to now?
[whimpers]
I warned you never
to put her photo up again!
See? I warned you, Hannah.
I warned you.
- Right. Come here!
- [screams]
Now!
- [sobs]
- [Mother] Shut up!
Hold still, Hannah.
That's it. That will teach you
a lesson, Hannah.
[Hannah sobs, muffled]
Won't it?
[Father]
You were warned, Hannah.
- You were warned.
- [Mother] Exactly.
How dare you disobey us.
Hands! Got to stick your arm in!
Arms at the back. That's it.
- [Mother] Huh!
- [moans]
Darling.
Darling, darling.
We don't want
to leave any marks.
[whimpers]
Be good, Hannah, or next time
I'll tape up your eyes
and nose as well.
[door closes]
[indistinct whispering]
[whimpers]
Get in there! Get in there!
[sobbing]
Is that what you think
we deserve, Angel?
A curse?!
Nice idea!
I'll keep them as a souvenir!
[screaming]
No, no, no.
Enough. Enough. Enough.
Fine, but we'll keep her
locked up
she tried to do to us.
I'll kill you both.
Well, she's got more spirit
than Hannah.
[Mother laughs] She'll never
betray us again.
Give me the key.
I'll lock her up.
[Father] Okay.
[lock turning]
[footsteps retreating]
[birds singing]
[Mother] Hannah!
Do you want to be late
on your first day?
[grunts]
[footsteps approaching]
[Hannah moans]
You're lucky this is the first
day of your new school
or I'd tie you up again...
tighter.
[sighing]
God's sake, hurry up.
Eat faster.
[disgusted groan] Go hungry!
[Mother] I'll just be through
that window, okay?
Speaking with your teacher,
Miss Palmer.
Growing up so fast.
This time next year, you'll be
She must be new.
She's sitting with her mummy.
[girl] Aww, poor little baby
still needs her mummy.
- [laughter]
- [girl 2] Loner.
[Mother] Look, I'm not gonna
deny it,
but it has been very difficult.
No, I can imagine.
But we never give up.
Well, she's continuing
to see her speech therapist.
Anything I can do
to help her to speak.
That's really all we want.
She's just too high-functioning
for other schools
to take her on.
Elena sounds perfect.
What's her background?
Well, she was born
in the Czech Republic.
Um... she's wonderful
with the children.
She's very perceptive.
Hannah's going to be
in good hands.
Good.
Hi. I'm Katie.
Don't have to be so rude,
I was only trying to be nice.
Yeah. Trying to be nice.
What's the matter,
cat got your tongue?
Weirdo.
Katie?
You think I didn't see?
See what? I was only
trying to be nice.
It's important I make you
aware of something.
Not everyone in life
sees and feels things
exactly the same as others.
You see, Hannah has a condition,
something called autism.
Something you will learn more
about when you get older.
But for now,
you need to treat her
exactly the same as you would
treat your friends.
You called her a weirdo,
didn't you?
Didn't you?
Do you understand?
Yes, Miss. Sorry.
Now you know why,
try to be nicer next time.
Otherwise, I will speak to Miss
Palmer about your behaviour.
Okay?
[footsteps approaching]
You'll be fine here, sweetie.
Had a nice chat,
told them all about you.
It'll just take you
a little time
to get used to your new school.
Okay?
Be careful.
You tell, I'll make it
so miserable for you,
you'll end up like your sister.
Now, come on.
Time to dazzle your new heads.
[footsteps approaching]
She had it tough with bullies
in her previous school.
That's why her parents
moved her here.
Watch out for her, just in case.
I will.
So, how high-functioning
is Hannah?
Um... very, actually.
She was diagnosed with
non-verbal autism
at the age of four, but
she hasn't spoken since birth.
Wow. Well, I'm so very
fascinated with autism.
It's, you know, one of
the reasons why I love my job.
I know that autistic people
can be super intelligent.
Yeah. Just be aware that her
mother brought to my attention
- some other issues.
- Like what exactly?
Well, she doesn't cope very well
