Dark Touch Page #2

And your brother?

Not necessarily about

what happened.

We can talk about before.

Your own memories.

Did I tell you

about the day

I ate all the caviar

My parents had put aside

for an important dinner?

Do you know

what caviar is?

Ow!

Neve.

Are you okay, sweetheart?

Is something the matter?

Tell me.

They're silly, aren't they?

When I'm finished

with these two,

I'll give you a bath, okay?

But not with them,

Because you're a big girl

now.

Is is lucas home yet?

That's enough, you two.

Come on, now.

You know, neve,

you really must have a wash.

I've left towels and soap

in your room,

But you haven't touched them.

It's been too long now,

really.

It can't go on like this.

It can't.

I I'll help you.

Okay.

Head back so it doesn't

sting your eyes.

Your'e it!

You be it.

Come on, kids.

Come on, stop fooling around,

you need to get dressed now.

Lucy, you.. Ryan!

he didn't touch me!

Neve?

Neve?

What is going on?

I can't have this.

I'm sorry, neve.

This is ridiculous.

Come on, get up.

Stand up.

Neve..

No!

Come on.

Neve, the water is not clean.

It's already been used,

and it's cold.

You'll feel better afterwards,

you'll see.

Now, now.. Turn around.

Let me help you.

Don't be scared.

That's the way to do it.

You remember, don't you.

Oh!

Hurt myself

with that damn..

Sorry.

No.. No!

It's okay,

it's just a draft.

Just some clothes

on the floor.

Everything's fine, okay?

There's nothing to be scared of.

Trust me.

They've nothing.

Nothing whatsoever,

not even a lead.

I know you spoke

to joseph today, neve,

Down at the police station.

He came to school.

He wants to punish

those bad people

Who did all that nasty stuff

at your house.

So that's why

he's persevering.

You do understand?

And also, so it doesn't

happen again.

I've already said it.

It's the house.

We can call

your father's sister later.

The one who lives

in the states.

Wouldn't you like

to see her, or speak to her?

It's my belt.

One of the trouser loops

is broken,

And the belt

keeps rising up.

It itches.

Someone at school

thought you were my sister,

That you'd come back.

Ryan!

My dead sister mary.

You were friends

when you were little.

Your daddy

was her doctor.

She had cancer.

Fee, fie, foe, fum!

Finished, finished,

finished, finished!

Lucy, please.

Hey, give that back!

Give it back!

Hey!

That's enough.

If you're not back

at the table

By the time I've counted to ten,

you're going straight to bed.

One..

Two..

Nat, we're all out of beer.

Three..

Four..

I'll get some.

Ryan and lucy,

come help me pick a bottle.

Yaay! The cellar!

The cellar!

I'm not scared.

You're a scaredy cat.

No, you are.

No, I'm not. You are.

Ryan, no running.

We used to have

another little girl, but, em..

..She died.

We didn't say anything,

Because it happened

a long time ago.

That's all.

And we didn't want it

to upset you.

Ryan, just I'm gonna

switch the light back on.

Did you knock it over?

That doesn't matter,

don't cry.

Neve?

Oh!

Nat?

Nat?!

Stay where you are!

You have to..

Nat!

You okay?!

Are you hurt?

daddy.. Daddy!

What happened here?

Daddy!

Daddy!

daddy..

Are you hurt, ryan?

No.

Shh, shh.

Neve?

Oh, neve..

What..?

Neve!

Leave her alone, okay?

I'll put these two to bed,

And then I'll

I'll be right back, okay?

Sorry.

Let's throw everything away

that could harm anyone,

And we'll sort out the rest

tomorrow, okay?

Nat, this is impossible.

Have you seen

what she's done?

It's not the same

for ryan and lucy.

They were bumping

into everything.

And scared.

They hurt themselves.

But her..

Why did she..

I don't know, lucas.

Don't you think she got scared

by all the screaming

And the noises in the cellar?

Maybe it reminded her

of that night.

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

Inhabit our planet.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Neve..

Aren't you coming outside?

Yes.

why is she here?

It's her..

..The murderer.

She killed 'em.

Killed her family,

and peter and emily's mum.

Hey!

What's going on here?

Come on, break it up.

Break it up.

What are you doing?

Why are you being so mean?

Lucy!

Come on, come on.

Stop being so nasty.

Neve, wait. Neve!

Back, back.

Come on, go play.

Come here, come here.

You're having

your birthday party,

I want you to invite her
