You've always
had bad dreams...
...ever since you were tiny.
You'd wake up screaming
in your cot...
...as if the world
had ended.
But your world hadn't
even started to end
until last summer.
Up until then, you'd had
a perfect childhood.
Not a worry in the world.
Not a care in your heart,
not a stain in sight.
Do you remember?
Do you remember
what it felt like?
Mom and Dad
still so in love.
You, their beloved daughter.
Oh, ! ime gusta, me gusta!
I'm 15! I don't want to see that.
Oh, grow up!
Until that moment...
on the balcony,
when everything changed.
When Dad's hands
started to tremble.
And he said
in full daylight,
how strange it's dark.
That was the end
of your perfect childhood.
It's multiple sclerosis.
It's funny.
The grief
is making me strong.
But it's making you weak.
I've waited so long.
But the time is close now.
The time for me to come.
With no one there
to stop me.
You will disappear.
And no one will know it.
Hey, baby.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Okay. Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
Let's try that again.
Good afternoon, John.
Good afternoon.
Lovely to see y'all.
I'm delighted to see
so many of you turned up
after last week's
insalubrious auditions.
But, hey, you'd do anything
to get out of maths class,
wouldn't you?
Ah, you would, wouldn't you?
Right.
Without further ado.
Macbeth...
Drew Fraser.
Your new neighbor.
Thank you.
Dan Jones,
his understudy.
Well done, Dan.
Gus Philips...
you will play Duncan.
Peter Lane will play Banquo.
Now...
the most important character
in the Scottish tragedy.
Who's going to be
that cruel, insidious,
beautiful queen?
Fay Delussey...
why don't you
come join us?
Now, Fay, come on.
Her understudy
will be Monica Meldrum.
It's okay,
you can smile, Monica.
It's allowed.
Sara Simpson...
Lady Macduff.
You're gonna have to rehearse
with Drew, like, every day.
Don't even get me started.
Don't look
so smug, Delussey.
You do know why you got
that part, don't you?
Uh, raw talent?
Talent, my ass.
He just feels sorry for you.
That's all.
You got a pity part.
Everybody here
feels sorry for you
because your father's dying.
Don't listen
to a word
of what that
loser says.
Yeah, totally.
She's just jealous.
Are you sure you're
all right, babes?
Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
You swear?
Honest.
Anyway, I'll see you guys later.
Okay, bye.
Bye!
Bye.
Bye.
Bye, chicken.
Nice!
Hey!
Drew, what the hell?
You look like you've
seen a ghost.
Don't do that.
Sorry.
Nice pictures.
Thanks.
I got to run.
I'm later already.
Okay. Bye.
A man has been
arrested in connection
with the abduction and suspected
murder of a teenage girl...
Fay.
I didn't hear you come in.
How are you?
The fog's awful.
Yeah, it's bad, isn't it?
Probably why Mom's late.
Yeah, probably.
How was your day?
I got the main part
in the school play, so...
Oh, well done.
That's wonderful.
Your mum will be thrilled.
...on the night
the victim went missing.
The victim has been staying
with her aunt...
Ah.
...and had left the residence...
It's terrible, isn't it?
Not much older
than you.
Promise me you'll
be careful, darling...
Oh, Dad, don't be such a nutter.
I just want you
to be safe.
Okay?
Hey.
Fay.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing.
It's nothing, honest.
You can always talk to me, love.
- I couldn't get a bus.
- Okay?
I'm not going anywhere soon.
I had to walk back.
Almost got lost.
How are you, darlings?
Fine, yeah.
Good.
Yeah?
Fay?
Yeah, all right.
Well, um...
how was school?
Tell Mum your news.
You tell her.
Faces
In the fog
Howl at the moon
Like a dog
And you
You haunt me
Oh, you
Haunt me
You can't hide
from your fears,
however hard you try.
I've waited so long.
And you
Haunt me
So long.
You haunt me.
Good morning,
Mrs. Brennan.
Morning, Mrs. Delussey.
Fay.
Hi.
Everything all right?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Such a wonderful head of hair.
Oh.
You'd never think I had
hair as lovely as that.
Oh, no!
Not again!
This lift is always
the one to break down,
ever the even one.
Can you explain me that?
They were both put
in at the same time.
Strange.
Kill someone someday.
It's a hazard.
I'll have to get in touch
with that lazy landlord.
Ah!
Mustn't be late for school.
Oh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
Yes, but she was quite
right yesterday
to take the stairs.
She's got young legs.
She should use them.
I took the lift
yesterday, Mrs. Brennan.
Don't be daft.
Yesterday, I saw you
going down the stairs.
Plain as day.
Seriously, I haven't used
the stairs since we moved in.
Bye, Mrs. Brennan.
Bye, now.
Bye, love.
'Tis safer to be
that which we destroy
than by destruction dwell...
Um...
Dwell in doubtful...
Okay.
Okay, stop.
It's okay.
Fay...
I need you to relax.
Okay?
Just take a breath.
'Tis safer to be
that which we destroy
than by
destruction
dwell in
doubtful joy.
Okay?
Try again.
'Tis safer to be that
which we destroy
than by destruction dwell...
In doubtful joy.
Dwell in doubtful joy.
I'm sorry. I can't
concentrate.
I've learned
it, but, um...
Monica.
Look, today's the first day
of rehearsal.
I want everybody to note that.
This is the first day
of rehearsals.
No one's going to criticize you.
I'm certainly not
going to judge you.
And no one's paying for this.
Okay.
In the staff room, there's a DVD
of Roman Polanski's
version of Macbeth.
Francesca Annis gives a
brilliant performance in it.
I want you to go
take a look at it, okay?
I'll go get it
now, shall I?
Great.
And, Fay, relax.
Meanwhile...
Um, let me see.
Andrew. Center
stage, please.
Hello?
Is someone in here?
Help, someone, help!
Help! Somebody help me!
Help! Somebody help me!
What's wrong?
Why are you screaming?
Someone was coming after me.
Well, who was it?
I don't know.
What the hell?
Who's been tampering
with my lights?
I didn't touch your lights.
Someone was coming after me.
Why was someone following you?
I don't know. They were coming.
Are you sure this wasn't just, like, your
imagination or... It was not my imagination.
Someone was
running after me.
You causing a scene, Fay?
What, the main part
not enough limelight for you?
Yeah, look, come on,
enough fun and games, now, yeah?
Go home, now. Go home.
All right, guys,
let's get
out of here.
When did Monica
leave the rehearsal?
She left
after you did.
You think
it was her?
Well, Lady Macbeth,
I never thought you'd
take method acting
so seriously.
Piss off, Drew,
it's not funny.
Monica Meldrum is totally
trying to screw with my head.
Yeah, and succeeding,
by the look of things.
Jesus, relax.
Sorry.
Want me to walk you home?
Mum's coming
to pick me up.
All right, well, I'll, uh...
I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Bye.
Bye.
How was school?
How did the
rehearsal go?
Oh, great.
Yeah, it was brilliant.
I totally nailed it.
In fact, everything's brilliant.
Almost too good
to be true.
