Or is that something maybe I should be

asking the federal police about?

Jesus f***ing Christ.

You know I'm really okay with having this conversation with you

when you have f***ing settled down.

But right now with this you realise

you're probably killing our child.

I need you to get out of here.

I need you to get out of here. Alright?

- Alice?

- Just get out of here!

- Stop it!

- Mom!

Oh hey cheeky.

I'm going to go out for a little while, okay?

I don't want you to go out.

It's gonna be alright.

I'll go and see if she's in her room.

- Hi

- Hi

Did you want to come inside?

- I keep trying to call you...

- I need you...

...to stop contacting Dave.

I need you to leave us both alone. Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Is that why you came here?

Just don't f***ing do it!

Steph.

Okay?

Just don't do it.

We've got kids.

I can't f***ing leave him. Alright?

I can't f***ing to anything.

It's just...I don't...I shouldn't have to deal

with you being there all the time.

Do you understand?!

Are you drunk?

I need you to respect my situation.

What about my situation?

Al?

Have you ever thought about what I

might be going through in all this?

Al?

Alice?

Thank you.

No man. I'm good.

Whiskey, yes? Whiskey? Cigarette?

- Yeah, cigarette?

Do you want her?

You like? That's good.

Huh? Girl?

It's nice girl. It's a real very cheap.

No man. No.

I just...I...you know I come here,

I just want to have a drink. You know just a drink.

You know what? Actually I'm going to go.

It's all good.

I need more fluid. I need another bag of...

I need another cannula.

Just relax. Just relax.

Am I going to have to push?

You'll be okay.

The last thing in the world I need right now is a girl.

How much? 20,000 cover it?

20,000?

Yeah, thanks friend.

You know what? Have all that. There you go.

- Thank you.

- One minute. Okay. Hey.

You like her? You like now?

You like now?

- To f***?

- Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no...Get away from me man.

No, no, no. She's just a little girl!

No, no, no. Don't touch me man.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

Don't you f***ing touch me!

Sister, go and get those six units of blood.

Hurry!

The baby is just going to go into intensive care

to make sure she's breathing alright. Okay?

We can't take you down there right now

we just need you to get you checked out

by the obstetrician before go in.

Well she's going to the best place. Okay?

Then we can show her down there.

We need that obstetrician here. Right now.

Sister, quickly just check that blood pressure again.

I need the f***ing blood now!

Where's the blood?

No!

Okay...I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

I'm cool. Sorry. Sorry.

Don't f***ing touch me, man!

Go!

You f***ing tell them them I'm leaving. Alright?

- He's okay.

- He's okay.

- I'm going to come back with the police!

Get the f*** out of here.

- Where did you come from?

- Just keep moving.

- I want to know why you f***ing speak Cambodian man?

- You should have kept your f***ing mouth shut.

- How do you know those guys?

- What were you doing there?

I was f***ing taken there man.

I didn't even know where I was going.

Alright. Alright. Alright just shut up

and listen to me for a second.

- No, no, no. What were you doing in the children...

- Listen to me.

- ...f***ing brothel?

- Shut the f*** up and listen to me for a second.

F***ing listen to me!

That was the Vietnamese mafia you were pushing around in there, mate.

and they're not playing f***ing games with you.

Do you understand?

You're in there screaming about the f***ing police!

Sh*t!

F***!

Look man, I don't know about the kids.

Alright that's nothing to do with me. Okay?

I do a bit of business with these guys.

- Business?

- We were having a drink. That is it.

Whatever else they're involved in -

there's nothing I can f***ing do about it.

What business? Huh?

Listen, just keep your f***ing mouth shut

and watch your back.

What business?

Dave give me all the money you've got.

- What?!

- Give me the f***ing money!

Shut up!

- You want that, do you?

- Shut up Dave!

Come on!

I want Mommy.

I know you do, cherub.

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Yeah?

Do you want me to read you a story?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I want Mommy.

I'm home!

Yep.

Your mum doing the kids run in the morning

if you can do the afternoon.

Have a meeting.

Call if you can't. Thanks.

Can't sleep?

Nelly.

How's Gracie?

She seemed okay tonight.

Dave, I don't want her coming home to this.

I had a chat with Mum yesterday.

I'm going to take Max and Holly over there

while I look for a place for me and the kids to live.

You know it's...

...I just don't think it's fair on them anymore.

And with me gone all the time at the hospital...I...

I really...I don't think that either of us are

doing a particular good job of um...

...looking after them at the moment.

I know what happened to Jeremy.

Watch your back.

- Dave give me all the money you've got.

- What?

Give me all the f***ing money you've got.

Shut up Dave! Dave, shut up!

Shut up Dave!

Hey? Yeah?!

Come on man!

F*** you!

Your family.

Come on!

It's not finished.

Come on!

No police.

- You forget.

- Sure.

You go home now.

It's finished. Okay?

Okay, yeah.

Come on!

F*** you!

Come on!

I guess...that...

...maybe two missing tourists is too big a deal.

Too many questions.

But one guy...

...one guy can go missing. Maybe.

But they've been to our house, Al.

I've seen what they can do.

I've seen what they can do.

I love you.

I love you so f***ing much.

You guys.

I'm so scared all the time.

It's for you and for the kids.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe anymore.

I can't f***ing breathe. I can't...

It's like I've got a f***ing a...

It's like I've got someone sitting on my chest

and I can't breathe anymore.

But...most of all...

I don't know how I'm going to live...

...with it.

Knowing it was my fault.

Hey

- Thanks for coming.

- That's alright. I appreciate the call.

Why don't we go out on the balcony?

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind.

Somewhere that's private. That's all.

Thank you.

Yes! Good boy!

Good boy! Good job!
