Yes.

Home?

Mother...

home is where we came from.

Stop it!

See?

I hate you.

Sarah...

I can't stand this any more!

Sarah?

Sarah?

Please open the door.

I'm gonna count to three,

and on the count of three

I want you to open this door.

Don't test me on this!

One...

Come on. Sarah. Sarah?

Did you take these?

Oh my God, Sarah. Sarah, come here.

Come here, come here.

That's a girl.

Come here, baby.

Oh, Sarah...

That's it. Come on.

Sarah? Sarah?

Don't die.

Don't you want the dark

to come out of your head?

Yes.

Don't you wanna be clean of it?

Yes.

Don't you want me back, mum?

Yes, I do.

Then this is the only way.

Stop!

There. That's it.

How could you do such a thing?

No.

I don't know where it came from.

It just happened.

It just happened.

You killed her.

Oh God, oh God!

I just want a second chance.

Please God, I want a second chance.

The dead don't get second chances.

Mother.

You know what this is, don't you?

It's the end.

No, no, no, no, no...

I want a second chance.

The dead don't get second chances.

I'm not dead.

I'm not dead.

Oh yes you are.

Don't you remember?

We fell from the Stumblehead.

The water filled your lungs.

No... I'm alive.

I'm alive. I'm alive.

I'm alive. I'm alive.

Yes, yes, a drug overdose!

Please, now!

Oh God. Sleeping pills.

Some kind of sleeping pill!

Okay. Okay.

Don't die.

Don't die on me.

I'm alive.

I'm alive. I'm alive.

It's all right... It's okay.

It's all right.

You're alive.

I'm alive.

One of the living for one of the dead.

I'm alive!

Mum.

Sarah.

- Mummy. - Sarah?

Mum, is that you?

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Where are you?

I'm here.

Sarah, are you in there?!

Sarah! I can't... I can't open the door!

Sarah!

Mum.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Oh God, I wanna tell you...

I need to tell you...

I am so sorry for being so selfish.

I'm so sorry for everything.

And I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Mum.

Baby... Oh my baby, oh my baby.

Oh my baby.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Daddy.

Daddy!

Oh, Sarah!

James.

Okay.

Under water?

I, I kept calling for help.

I kept calling for mum.

James.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe you've come back.

She was right. She was right.

Daddy.

Where's mum?

Oh, Sarah, she...

I'm sorry.

Your mother...

I'm right here.

Listen to me,

Sarah... she loved you so much.

She did a very brave thing.

James, I'm right here.

But she's gone now.

Look at me.

No.

It's just the two of us.

I can take care of ya.

Look at me.

No.

It's all right, Sarah, it'll be fine.

I'll take care of ya.

No, no, no.

Look at me.

No.

No.

I can.

Come here.

It's not...

It's all right.

It's okay.

I wanna go home, daddy.

Please.

Take me home.

Yes... we will.

I want you to forget, Sarah.

Mum.

I want you to be happy and

to forget all about this.

Dad. Me.

I love you baby.

I love your dad too. I know that now.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Is that who you're looking for?

What?

You won't find her here.

What?

What did you just say?

You're not Sarah. You're her.

You're in her.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're not Sarah.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

You brought your daughter back, Adelle.

You did a very brave thing.

Why?

When I was lost...

I kept picturing this one thing.

One thing I wanted more than anything.

Cos I knew...

one day...

I wouldn't have to picture it any more.

And what did you picture?

I can't tell you.

It's a secret.
