out of me. But uh, he's actually

quite cute. -So I'm keeping him

at the squat.

-No you're not. Are you mad? You've gonna have to start

thinking with you head

stab a woods, instead of your big

souled head. [Star] Listen Einstein I

couldn't exactly leave him

half run over on the road, now could I? Anyway, he doesn't

want to go home. He has beef with his folks. [Mick] Beef with his folks

ain't staying with us. Probably kidnaped him and

straight to jail. [Star] He might not

be staying with you,

but he's staying with me. Here, Milo. -Where are you going?

-To camp! [Star sighs] Come on. Mick is just f***ing with you

head, we want you to stay. They're all gonna be gone

when you get there. Come on Milo. Please. Come on. [officer] Sweet tea does help,

believe it or not. [officer] Now I just need to

take down any new details, so, anything that might help the

team that are already out

there looking for Milo. My father's investigator found

Milo's rucksack on the road. -And where was it found?

-[Brand] In Naas. -Close to the ansap.

-Alright. -On the road to Dundee?

-[Brand] Yes. [Nadia] He's never

been anywhere alone. He wouldn't know how

to take care of himself. He's probably lying

in a ditch somewhere, -dead.

-Madam, please, I. [trembles] -[officer] Now is Milo

on medication.

-No. Yes. [trembles] His cream is still

in his rucksack. Sorry this is his medication? No, it-it's just skin cream. [officer] Sir, would you

just let her speak. What kind of medication

is it madam? It's for his skin. But we haven't told him

the truth. Nadia this has got nothing to

do with any medication. [officer] Sir, would you mind

leaving the room for a moment? Yes, yes, I would mind. My wife's obviously upset,

I'm not leaving her. Sir, you need to step outside. [scoffs] we have nothing to hide here. [officer] Well then it doesn't

matter now does it? What did you tell her? I told her everything. Give me your bag. -Why?

-Just give it to me. You can walk home. [dog barking] [grunting] [moaning] I don't intend spending

the best years of my life, doing time. Again. I've been thinking Mick. Maybe we should go to Amsterdam

instead of Portugal. I mean, we blend in more there. And you could just pull grass, without having to look over your

shoulder the whole time. Theses knees are hot

dry thermos babe, pain relief I can get anywhere. Tell you what though, That rich kid could turn out

to be a God send. And what the fucks

that supposed to mean? [dog growling] [Star] You can come

back in now love. [dog barking] [Mick] Hey, careful

with that kid. -Where does it go?

-[Mick] just put it over there

near the telly for a minute. [Star] Jesus Mick,

you can't keep everything. [Mick] What if we want

to fish again? Good boy. What do you reckon? Where the f*** do you think

he's going to go? You ok? Come on. [whispers] A**hole. [Nadia] He's Milo, my son. Can you please call this number

is you see him? -[Mick] Do you only have

books in your room kid?

-[Milo] Yeah. We have a huge telly

in the lounge. [Mick] Lounge you call it? And your mother,

does she work? No she never works. Don't you think it needs

more dry paper? [Mick] Na, fire burns

in the inside. And it needs air. -[Mick] Ah f*** it.

-Hold it, I'll go get some

more dry paper. Na, just get me

a jetty hand there. -Yeah.

-[lighter clicks] Ah. So you see kid. You always have to have

a plan B. [Mick] Ah kid, standing digging

out her old 60's collection. That means the parties

officially started. [Mick] Babe. -Mm, that's delicious babe.

-[Star] You like it? [indistinctive chatter] [chuckles] I'm alone on the dance floor [Star] Something about him. [dog barking] [Mick] What do you mean? [Star] I told him I'd take

him home, Mick. Not to we have a nice fat

wedge in our pot. Oh listen you soft

hearted hippy, if we don't get to Portugal

we're f***ed. Anyway, what the kid don't know, won't hurt him. Do you want me to

get more petrol? -Bit of a pyromaniac are ya?

-[chuckles] Are you alright love? Your skin feels a bit rough. [door opens in distance] Milo, are you sure

you're alright in there? I'm fine. [Star] Jesus sake Milo,

how many creams do you need? Hey listen, Milo. I'm sorry but money's really

tight at the moment. How about we just take

one jar alright? I have money,

I can pay for them. [heavy breathing] [Mick] Alone, with no

telly in his room. Sunbed lounge Jacuzzi, medium sized BMW, re-touched touch. He should be able to get

about five thousand cash. Will the bank housing way. Plus of cars out,

legitimate expenses, and they, uh, make up of fifteen percent. Let's say about five thousand,

seven, eight, five. To be fair,

what do you think? Smell me Mick. You can see why it cost

a fortune. For God sake's dear, you can't

afford to be lifting stuff

at a time like this. I didn't lift it. He bought me it. Go on. -Smell me.

-[sniffs] F*** me. That kids full of surprises. How much do you reckon? It's his money. Little f***er is spoilt,

gets whatever he wants. Mm, you're right. He was hysterical. [Mick] My ass is hysterical. He's playing you

like a cheap violin. -Have you got any glue?

-[Star] Get it yourself. You hysterical a**hole. [Star] Milo. You're not hungry? He's locked himself in. That's my boy. [Brand] I apologize for what

happened at the police station. I agree Nadia we have

to do absolutely everything

that we can to get Milo home safely, and, I think that you are doing

a fantastic job. But his disappearance and

his condition are two

separate things. I just want him back. [Brand] Read it. Bright colored pencils,

moving ever up and down, the indigo sky. It's what he wants

for himself. A bright and carefree future-- -We just say no to

everything he wants.

-No. No, no, no. We made a deliberate decision, to keep him sheltered. So that he would grow up

confident and free. So that he wouldn't be picked on

or start feeling inferior. He's not confident. And he is picked on. I just want my son back. [Brand] So do I, Nadia. I just don't want you blabbing

about his condition. Imagine how much worse

things would be for him

if everybody knew. Look. I am absolutely sure that we

are going to find him soon. And when we find him,

yes I agree, he deserves to know the truth. But he also deserves

to hear it from us. Come here. [Mick] Mm, smells

delicious babe. Alright, I'm off. -Where to?

-To find a good spot

to do our little, trade off. I'm worried Mick. He's been in there for days. Don't be. When he smells those eggs. Hey get off. Listen Mick, all those creams. It's not just a fetish. There's

something wrong with him. [Mick] We can't exactly call

in a doctor now can we? Well what if he's dying? [sighs] God. I can't believe how f***ing good

you are with kids, babe. Should've given ya

some of your own. Milo? Listen, Mickey's gone out, it's just me and you. I made soldiers. -Will you just tell us,

what's going on?

-[sobbing] I know you've got something

going on with your skin. A rash or whatever it is. Look Milo, I love ya. And I want to help ya. And Mick loves me,
