My name is Rene.

I'm a mother.

And I'm just starting to love my daughter.

Have a seat.

How was your day?

Welcome home.

Hey...

Are you gonna stay there?

Hi.

Hey, how are you doing?

Yeah, good.

This is my wife, Rene.

Molly's in the bedroom, sleeping.

Did you need me to stay a bit longer?

No, no you can go.

I'll walk you out.

It was nice to meet you.

Do you want something to drink?

Do you wanna see her?

You're awake, huh?

You're not asleep?

Hey, look who's here.

Look who's here.

Mommy's here.

Do you want to hold her?

No.

For tablets?

His Medicare covers the cost, right?

Unfortunately these drugs

aren't on the PBS list yet.

Are there any other options?

I'm afraid that's it Mrs. Gardner.

As you are aware his body hasn't responded

to any of the treatment methods.

I'm sorry Mr. Gardner but...

this will be your father's last hope.

We can go.

It's not nearly as good as your cooking.

I think she's hungry.

She fell asleep.

Rene?

Here you are.

Is everything okay?

Why do you have a one-eyed

fish in the bathtub?

This is your fish.

It was in a small fish tank but...

the tank got a crack in it the day

you had your car accident.

So I put the fish in here for now.

Just make sure you keep this door closed.

The cat shouldn't get in here.

Come on, let's finish dinner.

I'm not hungry.

I want to brush my teeth and get some rest.

Okay.

Your toothbrush is the one on the left.

This is your wedding ring.

I'll just put it over here.

You can put it back on

whenever you're ready.

What?

You want to sleep alone, don't you?

I need some time.

I understand.

I'll sleep on the couch.

I'm just gonna get my work clothes

and I'll be out of your way.

Your pyjamas are in here.

Sleep well.

I'll see you in the morning.

That's our life savings.

There's no other option.

We can save money again.

We can't save his life later.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Let's go and tell him that we're gonna

pay for his treatment.

He could use some hope at this point.

You do it.

I have to get to the child-care center.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I'm pregnant again.

What?

Babe?

Babe?

Good morning.

I've made Molly's meal.

Would you feed it to her?

I'm late for work.

I'm only on half a day today, alright?

See you soon.

Hey.

Is Molly asleep?

Why aren't there any photos of Molly?

Because you didn't want anyone else

to have her photos except for you.

They were all on your phone.

It broke in the accident.

What about my parents?

Are they alive?

You haven't been in contact

with them for years.

You didn't want them in our lives.

Have you...

Have you seen our backyard?

Come on, let me show you.

It was your favorite place.

You loved it out here.

You used to say it was

like living in a forest.

Do we own the house?

One day we will.

What do you do?

Anything really.

At the moment I'm working in a supermarket.

It's short term but it

pays the bills for now.

And me?

You worked in child-care.

But...

you quit your job to take care of Molly.

Can I help you?

Mrs. Darcy?

Yes.

Rene Darcy?

Yes.

I'm detective Greg Miller.

What can I do for you?

Is...

Mr. Darcy home?

No.

I've been informed that you're recovering

from a recent car accident. Is that correct?

Yes.

Do you remember what happened?

No.

Nothing?

I see.

Do you mind if I come in?

Yes.

Why didn't you call me?

Didn't get a chance.

And I don't have your number.

I'm sorry I...

I keep forgetting that

you don't remember...

things.

Here.

Give me a call whenever you need.

I've got keys to the house so

I won't knock on the door.

You don't need to answer

the door to anyone. Okay?

Have you fed Molly today?

Just baby formula.

Didn't know where her food was.

Here, I'll show you how to make it.

Happy?

We're missing one of your socks.

It will show up.

What's wrong?

I'm pregnant again.

What?

When did you find out?

Two weeks ago.

I didn't know when would be

a good time to tell you.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Mommy has got you.

Come in.

Hey.

Hey.

I made you herbal tea.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

Is Molly with you?

Is Molly with you?

Is she with you?

Where is she?

What's going on?

I don't know where she is.

I've looked everywhere.

All of her things are gone.

It must be that guy.

What guy?

That guy I told you about.

Said he was a detective.

I think it was him in the car.

I saw it a few times.

We should call the police.

To tell them what?

To tell them that Molly is missing.

Who's Molly?

Our daughter.

Honey,

we don't have a daughter.

What the hell are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

I'm calling the police.

To tell them what?

Is this...

Is this what?

This is because of the accident.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Babe, it has always been

just the two of us.

We have no children.

Here.

Call the police and tell them that

our imaginary daughter has gone missing.

The number's triple zero,

in case you don't remember.

And when I woke up this

morning, she was gone.

I called my husband first. I

thought he would have her.

She didn't know who I was.

She couldn't even remember her own name.

It has been a tough couple of weeks for us.

She's going through a lot, you know.

I see.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why are you doing this?

Ma'am, please calm down.

Calm down?

My daughter is missing...

my husband is pretending that I'm crazy...

and...

and instead of helping me

you're telling me to calm down?

Ma'am,

we've contacted the base to

provide further information.

We should hear back from them soon.

Patrol sixteen, this is base. Message over.

Patrol sixteen, copy.

Stand by.

Mrs. Darcy

your husband is right.

You've never had a child.

I do have a daughter...

and she's missing.

Go and find my daughter

and bring her back to me.

Do you have any witnesses?

Has anyone seen you with your daughter?

The baby-sitter.

She was here when I got

home from the hospital.

Do you have her name or contact details?

I don't. Ben dealt with her.

There was no baby-sitter.

Do you have any photos of your daughter?

All of my photos were on my mobile phone.

It got destroyed in the car accident.

Tell them.

Officers please forgive us for this.

My wife has been going through

a lot since the accident.

Any of her belongings?

Clothes? Milk bottle?

Her dummy? Anything at all?

They're all gone.

Everything was gone this morning.

Mrs. Darcy,

we cannot investigate a missing child

if there's no proof that the

child has ever existed.

There's no birth certificates

recorded under your names.

Please call us if you find anything.

Nappies.

I put them in the bin all the time.

I did it last night.

What did you do?

Where is my daughter?

Mrs. Darcy calm down.

Thank you officers.

Again, I'm really sorry about this.

Mr. Darcy, what hospital was

your wife in after the accident?

The Blackfield hospital.

We may need to contact her doctor

regarding her condition...

Who was her doctor may I ask?
