[car engine and music stop]
So is your mum in?
Mum died of drugs.
Oh, I'm sorry. That's very sad.
Yeah, my dad's really sad.
-And where do you go to school?
-I do school here.
Oh, OK.
I'll just say hello, hmm?
Yeah?
[magpies warble]
[door creaks]
[fly buzzes]
Dad?
[Michael] Yeah?
Someone brought me home.
Hi.
[Michael] Who the fuck are you?
-Um, well, I--
-[Hedwig] You'd better go now.
I just wanted to make sure
that Hedwig got home safely.
I'm Katia.
She always gets home safely.
-She's a smart girl.
-I can see that.
She's a talented artist too.
Mm-hm. If you say so.
Well
So Hedwig says that you, you homeschool.
So?
It's just I'm a teacher too.
Principal, actually, at Elysium College.
Not a traditional school.
We focus on critical thinking,
music and the arts.
I think Hedwig might enjoy it.
I'm able to waive the fees,
you know, for certain students.
[whispers] I won't wear a uniform.
There's no uniforms.
You really want to go to
one of them posh schools?
Hang out with those rich little fucks?
I don't mind.
Please?
[sighs]
I'm going for a smoke.
[gentle music]
[children shout happily]
[laughter and squealing]
[Katia] Marcus is winning!
Race, race!
Kick your legs! Kick your legs!
[Boy] You're not a witch,
you're just a lonely freak.
[Hedwig] I am a witch!
Why won't you just believe me?
-You're just trying to get attention.
-I'm not!
You see this rock? I'll show you.
[children jeer]
[girl] What's she gonna do now?
I bleed into this water.
All those who touch it
will have troubles and woes
for all of their days.
[gasping]
-Oh, my god!
-She's a witch!
Let's go!
[screaming]
Hedwig's a crazy witch!
Hey, hey, hey, it's OK. Hey.
Hedwig!
Hedwig, come here.
It's OK, you're not in trouble.
No, Scout, maybe Hedwig
needs a little space.
It's OK. I'll be friends.
Hedwig?
That was a trick, wasn't it,
with the rock?
They're all afraid of you.
They think you're a witch.
[Hedwig] I don't care.
Are you a witch?
He's not here.
[Katia] Your dad?
Where is he?
He needs space sometimes.
Oh, OK.
And, uh, when is he coming back?
Maybe tomorrow.
So, um, why don't we leave him a note,
and then, and then you stay with me tonight, yeah?
[sombre music]
[crickets chirp]
Who sleeps in here?
Nobody.
But you can tonight.
[quietly] It's soft.
Yeah.
So tomorrow we'll have some breakfast
and, uh, then we'll see
if Dad's come back.
Thanks.
[whispering]
[young Katia] Moeder?
[woman] No, not moeder.
Soon we will be zusters.
Sisters.
[eerie music]
[gasps]
[Hedwig] I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
There, see? No harm done.
Sheets can be washed.
You were making noises before.
Oh.
Yeah, I I have bad dreams sometimes.
Can you stay?
I'm scared.
[sighs]
I know a song for scary times.
[sings lullaby in Dutch]
[car door shuts]
[magpies warble]
Hey, angel.
[Hedwig] Dad.
[gulls call]
Look who's coming.
What is it?
[gasps] It's a cat!
-It's a cat!
-It's a cat!
[Katia] They're such happy little things.
[Saranya] She's here full-time now?
No, no, not all the time.
You know, some nights.
Well, most nights.
It's good for her to have a safe place.
[Saranya] You're a saint.
No, no, I'm not a saint.
[birds chirp]
[cat purrs]
[uplifting music]
I love you.
Me too.
[eerie music]
[door bangs]
Hedwig.
Scout loves you live here.
She'll come back, hey?
[tearfully] No, she won't.
I hate it here.
Could I, um
could I have some money?
What for?
You know, everyone's leaving.
You know, Scout's going to Juilliard
and I'm I'm stuck here.
-You're moving too fast
-And I want to go to acting school.
just need to slow down!
You know that I want to
go to acting school. You know.
Yeah. [sighs]
Fine.
I'll do it myself.
Saranya gave me a job.
-Saranya?
-Yeah, she believes in me.
-Oh.
-So I sent off my audition.
I'll get out of this
fucking bullshit town.
I don't think it's wise.
Give it back. Fucking let go!
I just care about you, you know?
That's all.
[sighs]
I've had enough of your care.

[jaunty piano music]
Hello, Scout.
You're looking well.
[Scout] Hedwig!
Sorry!
[jaunty piano music continues]
Well done. Well done, everyone.
That's it for today.
One more rehearsal,
and you will all be perfect.
Oh, Lou. Hello.
Is everything OK?
[eerie music]
[Saranya] Both are my heart.
I do not know where they are.
It's the worst kind of nightmare
for a mother.
[Journalist] The search continues tonight
for two young women
who witnesses claim
had a heated altercation.
[Lou Gracie] Both 20 years of age,
and well known to each other.
[Journalist 2] The search resumes
for Eden woman Hedwig Shelley,

was discovered in Eden bushland yesterday.
[Hedwig] I've had enough of your care.

[Scout] Katia!
Hedwig?
Scout.
Katia, I've, um, I've done something.
I need a place to stay.
OK.
[sniffles]
Come on.
[Scout] It's like she was just here.
Yeah, kept all her things.
She'll come back.
I know she will.
She loved it here.
Yeah.
Now, are you going to tell me
what happened?
Um
I can't, Katia.
Well, that won't do.
You know, why are you running away?
Why can't you go home?
[sniffles]
[exhales heavily]
OK.
Well, we'll talk in the morning.
It's good to have you here, Scout.
Whatever the reason.
[waves crash]
[eerie music]
Can you please help me?
[Ezra] Hey.
You can't be a cop, OK?
[birds call]
[insects buzz]
[Scout] This way.
Cam?
I'm a police officer.
Can you come out, mate?
I just want to know about Hedwig.
It's OK.
It's alright, he's gonna help.
It's OK.
Come here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Cam] I didn't do anything.
Katz, stop.
You lied to me.
They're gonna fuckin' kill me.
[Scout] This isn't what we agreed!
[Cam] You're fucking crazy, man.
Someone else hurt her. It wasn't me.
Cam!
-Police. Move on.
-Maybe Hedwig's not dead.
-Move on.
-She's What?
Come on.
Someone sent me a text.
I think it was her.
Settle down.
Where is she?
-I don't know.
-Where is she?!
-I don't know!
-Settle down! Just leave it, OK?
Katz, what are you doing?
Leave it!
[engine starts]
-Hey, what the hells going on?
-Fuck off, Huck.
[wind chimes clang]
[sighs heavily]
[groans]
[Saranya] Scout?
What's going on?
-Why was Detective Katz here?
-Oh, Mum, just don't
-Just don't worry about it.
-Don't worry about it?
Huck says that boy is wanted for murder!
-OK!
-This is our home.
-OK, OK.
-How am I supposed to keep you safe?
Well, you didn't keep Hedwig safe,
did you, Mum?
She was dealing to my clients.
Yeah, you thought that's what it was.
Or was Huck looking at her
the way he looks at me?
[gasps]
[whispers] Oh, my
Oh, baby. I'm so sorry.
[tearfully] I'm so sorry.
Where are you going?
Tell me what's happening.
I want you to tell me
when things are wrong.
Everything's wrong.
Hi.
Hey.
You OK?
I'm looking for Katz.
I haven't seen him in today.
He's probably off looking after his mum.
Oh.
Um thanks.
Something wrong?
Maybe I can help.
No, I'm fine.
[eerie music]
You can't be here.
[Scout] Katz!
He's here, isn't he?
Katz! Katz!
Fine!
What are you doing here?
[Ezra] Cam is assisting with my inquiries.
Why didn't you take him
to the police station?
Because you asked me not to be a cop.
He's in trouble.
It's best that you leave this alone now.
Hedwig is gone, and I'm supposed to what,
just forget about it? About all of this?
What is going on here?
[thud]
-Oh, Jesus.
[woman] Ezra, come quickly! She's fell!
-Scout, can you just go home?
-Katz, just
[Cam] Safer here.
From what?
-[woman] Ezra.
-[Ezra] Come on. Up you get.
-[woman] It hurts.
-[Ezra] Up you get.
The text.
What did she say?
Said to let her go.
You know, she never drew me.
Do they live at the temple squat?
-They don't know anything.
-No?
-No.
-Well, maybe your friends are hiding her.
They're not part of this, Scout,
so just let it go.
Part of what?
[Ezra] You can't be out here.
OK, all of this, we have to keep it quiet.
Do you understand?
Cam, inside.
-Cam!
-Yeah.
[Ezra] Scout, go home.
[door slams]
[up-beat music]
[laughter]
That your blood runs cold ♪
Hey. Who do you know?
Um, I
This isn't a tourist attraction.
You need to know somebody here.
I know Hedwig.
I saw you guys at the party.
Well, she's not here.
[woman] Hey.
You're the lost-and-found girl.
Scout.
Look, I just I want to talk.
Well, we don't, so piss off.
Kris!
Sorry. We're a little suss
with strangers right now.
You wanna see his room?
You know, we used to joke about them
being the perfect couple.
This is weird, but cute.
How, um how long were they together?
They weren't together.
I think that was the whole point.
Kindred spirits, I guess.
You're in love with her.
The night she disappeared
we were, um, fighting physically.
And I made a mistake.
I, um, I tried to
Sorry.
We've both lost someone we needed.
Cam kept everyone together here, you know?
Now it feels all broken.
I just miss him.
[sombre music]
[sobs]
He's OK.
Hope so.
No, I um I spoke to him.
He's OK. He's fine.
Just um, just don't say anything.
[uplifting choral music]

Open your heart ♪

[music intensifies]
[music softens]
[birds call]
[music fades]
Hey.
You OK?
Yeah. I think.
You were getting hazy.
[Scout laughs]
I told some people about Cam.
-I had to.
-What? They can't--
I know. We're good.
She'll come back to you.
Give her time.
Dust will settle.
I wanna kiss you.
You sure?
It's just me.
Yeah, I'm sure.

[pants]
[Huck speaks distantly]
[Drysdale] She might be in trouble.
[Saranya] No, nothing.
[phone dials]
[Ezra] Scout?
Katz um, he knows.
Drysdale knows that Cam's alive.
Shit. How?
It's my fault.
OK, turn off your phone.
Go somewhere safe.
[kettle whistles]
-Don't tell me where, OK? Stay away.
-OK. I'm sorry, OK?
Stay away.
[kettle whistles loudly]
[Huck] Saranya,
you want to turn that off?
[whistling stops]
[eerie music]
[knocks on door]
[Scout] Katia!
You need to let me in!
Hedwig?
Scout.
Katia, I've, um, I've done something.
[yawns]
Morning.
Oh.
Is it OK if I wear this?
Yeah, of course.
So we'll have a coffee
and then we'll take her for a walk.
OK.
When are you due back in New York?
I don't think I'm going back.
Talent should be realised, Scout.
You know?
Whatever's happened, just leave it behind.
That's running away.
Well, sometimes running away is sensible.
You know? If the danger's real.
Are you in danger?
I think we should just
go on our walk, Katia.
[tuts]
[sighs]
Wait, what's happened?
Found someone. It's a girl.
[siren wails]
[sombre music]
[splashing]
[Scout] Hedwig?
That was a trick, wasn't it,
with the rock?
They're all afraid of you.
They think you're a witch.
[Hedwig] I don't care.
-Are you a witch?
-No.
All that magic stuff is bullshit.
My mum says being born's like magic.
What do you think would happen
if you weren't born as you?
What?
What if you were born as someone else?
Well, then you wouldn't exist.
Because that person wouldn't be you.
Do you think
it would be like being dead?
Yeah.
But you'd be dead,
so you wouldn't know.
So you wouldn't care.
My mum says when you die,
it's not like heaven.
There's no clouds or angels,
it's just spirits and energy.
Just good spirits and energy.
I don't think there's spirits and energy.
I think when you die, you're dead,
and it's just black.
Forever.
