Estranged Page #3

came along

and changed everything.

What did you do

to my dad?

I made it right.

And Callum?

Worthless.

Just like your dad.

One way or another...

you're going to be

part of this family.

Never!

Yes.

Never.

Please! Please don't

let him do this.

Please don't.

Please, please, please!

Please.

Katherine, please listen.

Mum, help me.

Please.

It's for the best.

Just be brave.

Please!

Please...

Please! Please!

No! Stop!

Please don't!

Clean yourself up.

He might not show it,

but Daddy really does care for you.

I don't have to be nice to you.

Don't believe me?

Dig Callum up and see

what I did to him.

Now let's try that again.

When Katherine was

a young girl,

I gave her a rabbit.

Every day she fed it,

played with it.

But one winter,

it got so cold,

all the animals died.

We had nothing to eat.

So, Father took the rabbit

and broke its neck.

He had to... so that

he could feed us.

Katherine cried for weeks.

Sometimes sacrifices

have to be made.

Sometimes you have to do...

horrid things to protect

the ones you love.

There's no point hiding.

Come on, girl.

You know it's no use.

No! No! No!

Just one more.

You need your strength.

Eat.

There's two of you now.

Good girl.

Good girl.

A pregnant girl shouldn't be

living in a basement.

You're really upsetting Mummy.

A real mum wouldn't

let this happen.

We're only taking what's ours.

You think this'll make

all this yours?

It's still my house.

No, it's our house.

We've had it for ages.

No one cares.

You know, the villagers don't know that

your daddy's dead.

To be honest, they wouldn't give

a hoot even if they did.

He wasn't... gregarious.

Do you know what that means?

It doesn't have to be like this.

You can have

your old room back.

Be part of a real family.

All you have to do is ask.

Open the door.

Night night.

It's a really good way

of expressing yourself.

Just paint what you feel.

Close them.

You were always the favorite,

even though

you were never there.

Mum always said

you were special.

It was an accident.

I slipped.

I'm sorry.

Can I live upstairs again?

I promise I'll be good.

How did you sleep?

Better.

We have a surprise for you.

Wait till you see this.

You're going to love it.

It's absolutely beautiful.

That's it.

Now then,

come on.

There we are.

Here she comes.

Here we are.

There.

And... surprise!

Father and Laurence spent

all night fixing it.

It was yours

when you were a baby.

What do you say?

Thank you.

I haven't seen you smile

for so long.

They told me...

that they would kill you

if I said anything.

See, they were

just the staff.

They tended the land,

they cooked, they cleaned,

and this is their revenge.

To make you suffer...

and to make me serve.

What did my dad do?

Thomas, drinks.

Sweet dreams.

-I'm cold...

-I knew you couldn't be trusted.

You stupid child.

Gonna learn?

Get up!

Will you take this to January?

I do love you.

Mum made you some milk.

January?

Why do you think I'm special?

Because of this?

Just calm down.

I don't want my baby to live.

Not here. Not with you.

Please.

Put it down.

What'll you do?

Shoot me?

You're insane.

And whose fault is that?

I want to leave.

I want to leave right now.

Why? No one else wants you.

Why else am I special?

Is it because Daddy never

wanted to f*** you?

Stop it.

And he never will.

He'll never love you

like he loves me,

and neither will Mum.

You'll always come second best.

Go on.

Do it.

Kill me.

This is not just about you!

I won't tell Daddy about this.

It'll be our secret.

For years, they watched

your father's decline,

waiting for their chance.

And when Callum called

about the accident,

they took their revenge.

See, your father,he forced himself

on one of the coal workers.

He got her pregnant.

Then, when the baby was born,

he took it off her

and he raised it as his own.

And the woman you thought

was your mother,

she couldn't live

with the guilt.

All of the staff knew.

We just had to watch you grow up

and keep everything a secret.

And your real mother,

she knew everything,

so she told you,

and that's why you ran away.

Who is she?

Who's my mum?

You already know the truth.

We have to go.

We have to go now.

Please.

Please, Miss.

Give me the gun.

Go on.

January, hello.

You need to calm down

and think about this.

I'd never hurt you.

I love you...

my little sister.

So I guess that blow job's

out the window.

What the f*** is going on?

Not in my f***ing house!

You f***ing b*tch!

Mum.

I'm so sorry.

I'm going to miss you.
