Looking for Grace Page #2

---

Nothing.

Nothing.

Tom.

Tom.

Oh, hi, Susie.

Is Dan there?

No.

No, I'll try him on his mobile.

Oh, come on, Dan.

I know you know it's me.

Answer.

No, not going to

leave a message.

So you want all

this done as well?

Uh, yes, please.

Well, it counts as two

so it's going to be extra.

How much extra?

$2.26 with GST.

Oh.

Well they didn't say

that on the phone.

You probably didn't

tell them how big it was.

I think I would have.

Look lady, do you want

your linens cleaned or what?

Yes, thank you.

I do want my sectional cleaned.

I wouldn't have booked

you if I didn't.

Question is do you

want to clean it?

No.

Steve.

Doesn't do any good.

It's a con.

Steve.

Come here.

What?

What?

What are you doing?

Can't lose that job.

Just being

honest with her.

Yeah, don't be honest.

This is a business.

You don't be honest in business.

I'll say sorry to her.

Don't say a bloody thing.

Sorry about that.

We'll get it done right away.

We'll be in and out

before you know it.

No, now hang on a minute.

Hang on.

Is that with or without

the extra $250 whatever?

With.

It'll be with.

No.

No, no thank you.

Forget it sorry.

Sorry, lady.

Look, it does work, really.

Truly, it is very effective.

And it won't long.

I think it just gets

mixed up with the one that

does all the cleaning.

But people love it.

Sorry about before.

For what?

Well, you seem to be making

yourselves comfortable.

Just get on with it.

Please yourselves.

She's a bit touchy, isn't she?

Oh, hi, Susie.

Is Dan back?

Oh, he can't still

be getting a bun.

Has he been back yet?

Did you tell them

that I called before?

Did you tell him

that I called before?

Well, I'll just try him

on his mobile again.

Jesus.

Oh.

Babe?

Got to have the latest

phone, does everything,

could cook you a chook

if you wanted it to.

Well, here's an idea, Dan.

I call, you answer.

A phone that answers.

Sh*t.

Oh, bugger.

Darling.

Grace.

Grace.

Woo-hoo.

Yeah, hi, it's me.

Think you better come home.

Just come home.

What does that mean?

Don't know.

Well, could mean anything.

Yes.

I mean, did she

come home from school?

I don't know.

We've called?

Yes.

And?

Went straight

through to messages.

Oh, I don't know.

She's probably at

Sapphire's place.

I don't think so.

Why not?

Think you better take

a look in the bedroom.

Whose bedroom?

Our bedroom.

Why?

Just look.

You're being very strange.

Has Grace robbed us?

Us?

Yes, us.

Well, how much was in there?

A bit.

How much is a bit?

Quite a bit.

Well, how much?

Well I don't-- they've

taken the bloody bank bag.

Dan.

About $7,000.

$7,000?

Give or take.

In cash?

Yes, in cash.

Well, that seems

like quite a lot.

Well, I didn't want to leave

it lying around at work, did I?

Lying around?

Lying around in

a safe at work.

Well, what about the bank?

Well, I was taking it to

the bank and-- and-- and I got

caught with it.

Caught?

Yes, caught.

She's not going

to phone, is she?

Don't think so.

Should call the police.

Suppose so.

And what do I say?

You tell them that

your daughter's missing.

And someone stolen

$7,000 out of your safe.

Oh, God.

OK.

That's a-- that's a

pretty good photo of her.

I found that one.

Approximate height?

I'm not good with that.

She'd probably come

up to about here.

Whatever.

Do you want me

to use the good China?

What?

Do you want me to get

down mom's good cups?

Oh.

No, don't know

why you'd do that.

Well, some of

these are chipped.

It's not a party, Julie.

I know.

Do you want a seat, Rosemary?

Yeah.

Yeah, give her a seat.

Thanks.

So I-- I just

need to get this.

Sure.

Hello?

I just don't understand why

they don't just get out there

and look.

Because they've got to

do these things carefully.

Excuse me, Mrs. Drake.

Is this the most recent

photo of Grace you have?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'd say so.

I might have a more

recent one at home.

Do you want me to

go home and look?

Um, well, no.

This one was taken this year.

I just don't think

you could have--

That was at a birthday.

I've got one from

from Dan's birthday.

Do you want me to drive

home and get them?

That was a fortnight later.

I just don't see she could have

changed that much in two weeks.

It's just my camera

takes a better photo.

I think this one will do.

I could email it to you.

It's fine, really.

You sure?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Kitchen's a bit cramped.

It's not really made

for this sort of event.

It was um, that

was Jennie Ambrose.

She said she wants to come

over here with Damien.

Why?

I don't know.

She says she wants

Damien to talk to us.

Damien?

Damien, speak.

Well, I don't know for sure.

Just tell them

what you told me.

Look, all I said was

that they've probably

gone to see Death Dog.

What's Death Dog?

A band.

Where?

I don't know.

Damien.

They might be

playing in Ceduna.

Ceduna?

That's days away.

I think it is only 1 and 1/2.

No, no.

Ceduna-- got to be--

it'd be two-- at

least 2 and 1/2.

Dan.

What?

I don't really know.

They might not be.

You told me that they

were playing in Ceduna.

I think.

I really don't know.

Can I please go now?

Who's Death Dog?

They play hardcore.

Really?

Denise, you in there?

Oh, God.

It's just

that Jenny's going.

All right, I'll be

there in a minute.

Did you want to say goodbye?

Good on you, Jenny.

You did the right thing, there.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, thank you, Jenny.

Yes, thank you, Jenny.

I'm sure it'll be all right.

It's not like her, you know.

Sapphire's a good kid.

So is Grace.

I better go, too.

Do you need a lift, Rosemary?

No, I'm all right.

I drove here.

By yourself?

Yes, Denise.

Because Dan could give

you a lift if you need.

I'm fine, Denise.

Oh, that bloody,

tight-lipped--

Let--

Oh, just leave it, Julie, OK?

Just leave it.

Yeah.

Very, very good

always, at ball games.

Right.

And I think--

Rosemary's leaving.

Rosemary?

Yes, Sapphire's mom, Rosemary.

She said she's going

to drive herself.

I think you better go check.

Right.

Um, you've met Tom, haven't you?

Yeah.

Met Tom.

On your own?

You want a cup of tea?

Oh, no.

No thanks, Susie.

It-- it must be hard.

Yeah.

I guess the biggest

fear is murder?

Or rape.

Told her that I wouldn't be more

worried about rape than murder.

Or just never knowing,

never finding her.

That'd be hard.

I mean, they never

found Greta's kid.

Who's Greta?

Oh, you remember Greta.

She was-- used to work

at Baker's Delight

and she kind of shook

a bit, especially

if she got flustered.

That-- that was really weird.

Odd kid.

Got mixed up in drugs, I think.

You don't remember her?

No, I don't remember her.

You don't remember Greta?

Up

No.

Dan might.

Was she unhappy, do

you think, Denise?

I don't know, Susie.

You should try

and get some sleep.

Don't be stupid.

Well, one of us

should get some sleep.

Why do people always think you

should try and get some sleep?

I don't know.

Why do you think
