- KID 1: Asha! - WOMAN 1: Asha, come out now.
MAN 1: Asha, where are you?
KID 2: Asha, where are you?
(ominous music playing)
KID 1: Asha!
- KID 2: Asha. - MAN 1: Asha!
KID 3: Asha!
(boat engine revving)
(unsettling music playing)
(birds chirping)
(birds cawing)
ANTON: We're moving the search to the other side.
Asha hated it here.
Once she meets Mommy, she won't hate it.
She said she had television.
- Dolls. Food whenever she wanted... - Asha has the Devil in her, Amy.
She was tempting you, trying to turn your back to the light.
Come on.
Come on!
(suspenseful music playing)
- KID 1: Asha? - KID 2: Asha.
KID 3: Asha!
- (telephone rings) - (Hannah pants)
Hello?
We've just turned off the freeway, Hannah.
Please have the children ready,
and tell Asha Mommy's very excited to meet her.
(call ends)
(footsteps approaching)
HANNAH: Your mother's coming.
Go tell them, Aaron.
Go.
(yells) Go!
AARON: Mommy's coming.
- KID 1: Asha! - KID 2: Asha!
KID 3: Asha!
- KID 4: Asha! - KID 5: Asha!
- AARON: Mommy's coming! - KIDS: Asha!
Asha!
(whistles)
For every minute your sister's not found, it's an hour in the Hole.
- KID 1: Asha? - KID 2: Asha!
- Where are you? - MAN: Asha!
- KID 3: Asha! - KID 4: Asha!
Asha?
KID 5: Asha!
- KID 6: Asha? - KID 7: Asha.
- KID 8: Asha! - KID 9: Asha!
(ominous music playing)
KID 10: Asha!
KIDS: Asha! Asha! Asha!
KID 11: Asha!
HENRIK: Come on!
Fan out in a straight line.
Follow me. Follow me.
(ominous music continues playing)
I've found her!
(theme music playing)
BILLY: Can I please, please, please have a lunch order?
FREYA: No. No, I made you
- a very yummy cheese sandwich. - REPORTER: There are no new leads
in the search for missing Woodfield girl, Carrie Anderson.
Her family are pleading
- for any information. - BILLY: But Harry has one every Friday.
CARRIE'S MOTHER: If anyone has seen anything,
- or knows anything... - Grab your bag, Bilbo.
All right, have a good day.
- BILLY: Bye, Mama. - (school bell rings)
Harry!
MS. LE: Hi, Billy.
- HARRY: Billy, how are you? - STUDENT: Bye bye.
- HARRY: Good? - BILLY: Good.
Oh. Hey, Freya.
Um, the Moms of 2C, we were saying we deserve a night out. What do you think?
Yeah, sounds great.
JENNY: Yeah, leave the hard work to the dads for once.
Geoff is so seriously useless.
At Harry's birthday, he got a migraine from blowing up one balloon.
- Like, one balloon. - Yeah.
(both chuckle)
- WOMAN: Careful, kids. - I mean, not that I'm complaining.
I mean, being a single parent, I can't imagine...
Oh, it's fine.
It's all I've ever known.
MS. LE: Get to class.
Oh, was it a one-night stand?
Oof. What I would do to have one of those right now.
- (Jenny chuckles) - (chuckles awkwardly)
MS. LE: Freya?
Have you got time for a quick word?
- Oh, text me. - Yeah.
- Hey. - Hey.
Um, I just want to check in with you.
- Okay. - Yeah. Um...
Is everything all right at home?
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah?
FREYA: Yeah.
It's just that, um, it's school protocol...
to follow up on any injury.
Oh, you're talking about Billy's black eye.
- MS. LE: Mm. - Yeah, um...
He was behind the door and-- And I opened the door
and I didn't realize he was behind it.
Yeah, of course. I totally understand.
Sole parenting is hard.
It was an accident.
That's all.
My mom was right there. She saw the whole thing.
Have we got your mom's details on file?
MS. LE: No.
- Uh, no. - (cell phone ringing)
- You don't. - Perhaps you can add them to Billy's file?
- Yeah. - In case we have to verify anything
- for our report... - Sorry, I actually have to get this.
Hey Mo, is everything okay?
(foreboding music playing)
(door opens)
FREYA: Hello?
MO: Freya, hey.
I found her tracker in the laundry basket.
Mrs. Beaufort is not safe wandering around out there
- on her own. - Yeah, I know.
I'll have to put it on my daily report and if this keeps happening,
- the agency will insist on 24-hour care... - It's okay, Mo, it's okay.
You don't have to do that. I'll find her. I always do.
(Freya breathes deeply)
(suspenseful music playing)
ADRIENNE: Hands down.
Have you been eating sweets again?
Come here, my darling.
Welcome home, my angel.
We're so happy to have you here.
ADRIENNE: Go back in the line.
ANTON: I found her for you, Mommy.
Asha ran away.
She was hiding up a tree, but I found her.
(ominous music playing)
You make your mother very proud, Anton.
Maitreya, I can explain.
ADRIENNE: Not only do you kidnap a child, but then you allow her to escape.
- It was Amy's job to take care of Asha... - Do you want to destroy us, is that it?
TAMSIN: No.
Abigail's roots are showing, Annabelle's getting fat
and Adam is scratching like a leper.
(doorbell dings)
(indistinct chatter)
(Freya sighs) Mom.
You can't keep leaving the house on your own.
BRYCE: She's not on her own.
If you want to take Mom out, you need to inform the agency.
- FREYA: They have a duty of care. - BRYCE: As do you.
Looking after your mother doesn't involve locking her up in a dark house
with a... with a tracking device, like some sort of criminal.
Exercise, sunshine and intellectual stimulation.
In my book, that's duty of care.
(inhales deeply)
Come on, Mom. Let's get you home.
- Come on. - BRYCE: Careful. Careful.
Wonderful to see you, Maitreya.
ADRIENNE: Lovely to meet you.
As always.
ADRIENNE: Is Mommy coming to pick me up?
You'll be surrounded by carers 24/7 if you keep disappearing.
You don't want that, do you?
No, Amy.
No elkhounds in the morning.
(soft piano playing)
(utensils clanking)
Sit!
(chairs screech)
ADRIENNE: Asha.
Darling, come.
(piano continues playing)
Asha?
(utensils clanking)
HANNAH: Abigail, wash. Adam, dry.
Angela, sweep. Aaron, put the bins out.
Neatly, please.
Gently.
ADRIENNE: A present, for my favorite, special,
beautiful Princess Asha.
You're Mommy's favorite.
Come in, Amy.
Run along, my angel.
ADRIENNE: Shut the door behind you.
(car approaching)
- (Freya panting) - (camera shutter clicks)
- (car horn honking) - (gasps, sighs)
(car engine revs)
The van matches the description of the one
that abducted Carrie Anderson near Woodfield.
FREYA (over phone): The same van has been hanging around my house.
- POLICE OFFICER: Right. - Detective Joe Saad called the station.
Requested you look into it.
- (door opens) - Who's he?
Well, he's retired now, but he-- He pulled some favors.
No, it doesn't work like that.
He'd have to file a report like anyone else.
POLICE OFFICER (over phone): And... (sighs)
(car door closes)
...there's nothing in the system.
(exhales sharply)
ADRIENNE: How are you, Amy?
Good.
Good is closely aligned with right.
Is it possible, I wonder, to feel good when one hasn't done right?
No.
So what are you, Amy?
Not good.
Do you think "sorry" might be the word you're looking for?
Yes. I'm sorry.
For?
For not realigning Asha.
No, Amy.
For not watching Asha.
For not finding Asha?
You're not trying hard enough, Amy.
(ominous music playing)
SARA: I wanna go home!
(breathes deeply)
ADRIENNE: Do you want me to help you?
Did you betray your family?
- Yes. - Did you betray yourself?
Yes.
And?
(voice breaking) I betrayed you, Mommy.
There we go.
(breathes shakily)
Mommy, your love binds us together as one family, one heart.
Together, we are united. Alone, we are blighted.
That's my girl.
ADRIENNE: Now go and clean yourself up.
And lower your hem.
You look like a whore in that short skirt.
(car door closes)
FREYA: Joe!
- Joe! - JOE: You must have a sixth sense!
Caught way more than I can eat.
Check this catch out.
You never called the cops.
- Freya... - I'm not a child.
You don't need to pretend.
Look, you know, you'd gotten yourself into such a state.
- I... I was just trying to reassure you. - Lying to me isn't reassuring.
Okay.
You made me doubt what I saw, made me...
made me feel crazy.
- I saw the van, Joe. - Freya, I did do some digging.
It's real.
There was no sighting of any vehicle taking that little girl.
- There was no white van? - No.
JOE: This Carrie Anderson...
she's disappeared from Woodfield.
I just think you assumed,
- because... - Asha.
JOE: Come on.
Stay for lunch.
I'll barbecue these beauties up for us.
(plate clanks)
(birds cawing)
I'm actually flattered you thought the police would act on my orders.
My name's pretty much dirt.
Oh, it's worse than dirt. They hadn't even heard of you.
Don't hold back, will you?
Oh, their loss I reckon.
Henrik's parole has been approved.
You think that might have triggered something?
You a psychiatrist now?
To be honest, I think you make a better chef.
This is really good.
22 years for a crime you were brainwashed into committing.
If I were Henrik, I'd be looking for some compensation.
Maybe a cut of The Kindred's missing millions.
He still committed a crime.
JOE: Sure.
We all know the real criminal got off scot-free.
Had any contact with her?
No.
If I could get near that mad old bitch,
I'd happily strangle the millions out of her myself.
JOE: You know, you don't have to be angry at me to come visit.
(Freya chuckles softly)
Bring Billy next time.
- I'll take him fishing. - Yeah. Yeah, he'd love that.
Freya.
Carrie Anderson... she's probably lost in the woods.
She'll make her way home.
Yeah.
FREYA: Thanks, Joe.
BILLY: Mom, do you like ants?
FREYA: Sure, as long as they're not in the honey.
Did you close the gate
- after we left this morning? - Yep.
- Did you know ants don't have ears? - No.
BILLY: Ants are my favorite. They're the most dangerous.
Some of them don't have eyes.
FREYA: Really?
BILLY: Do you know what they use instead?
Their antenna.
Ants feel vibrations through their feet. That's how they know if danger's coming.
Oh, yeah? You've been learning about ants at school?
BILLY: No, my friend tells me stuff about them.
- What friend, Harry? - No, my friend at the fence.
What fence?
The school fence?
Yeah.
FREYA: Billy...
what does your friend look like?
(shushes)
Is that what your friend did?
Billy, what did he say to you?
- Ow! - Tell me!
Ms. Le says, "My body, my boundaries."
(sighs)
Yes.
Ms. Le is absolutely right.
(breathes deeply)
(soft music playing)
AMY: There's tiny sandwiches.
And cake with cream inside. Have you tasted cake before?
First, we sing.
Then Mommy speaks and then what do we all say?
We are one, Mother and united.
- No, Asha. - I don't want to.
Ow!
Repeat after me.
Mother, your love binds us together as one family.
- One heart. - One heart.
- Together, we are united. - Together, we are united.
- Alone, we are blighted. - Alone, we are blighted.
There we go.
(unsettling music playing)
(indistinct chatter)
(camera shutter clicks)
Go and join the others.
(indistinct chatter)
MAN: Good to see you.
- Slow down. Line up. - KIDS: She sells seashells
on the seashore.
KID: You're in front of me.
(camera shutter clicks)
Take me round the back, Tavi.
Physicists like myself understand structures
to be malleable and ever-forming.
They must be, in order to survive.
Society, however, has convinced us that structures are fixed and immutable.
- AMY: Remember, follow me. - BRYCE: Therefore, it must follow
that, to accept this... is to accept our own death.
But it doesn't have to only be this way.
The reason we are here today is because our spiritual leader,
Maitreya, is showing us an alternative.
An alternative.
As members of The Kindred, and under Maitreya's guidance,
we have the freedom and the power to reinvent the structures of society
that so many assume cannot be changed.
And what better way to achieve this than through a new generation.
(classical music playing)
(breathes deeply)
Pleasure to see you.
Lovely to see you.
Walk along.
(classical music continues playing)
Welcome. My Kindred.
Welcome, all of you.
It's such a great honor to see so many of you here today.
I see so much wisdom in this room.
The wisdom of those who are not afraid.
I have had the great privilege of guiding many of your Clearings,
and I see how tall you stand afterwards.
The light that shines from you.
How life opens up
when you are truly able to let go.
Because it is only once we have been cleared
that you are ready to begin again.
These children, my children... (chuckles softly)
...they are as pure and untainted as it is possible to be.
A generation raised away from the suffocating rules of society,
nurtured under the most perfect conditions.
These children are our Kindred, all of us.
ALL: Mother, your love binds us together as one family.
- She's a liar. She's not my mother. - (feedback)
- SARA: Stop! - TAMSIN: Come with me.
SARA: Stop. Let me go!
- Let go of me! Ow. - ADRIENNE: Goodness.
Oh, I'm sorry to say even I haven't cured the world of mother-daughter conflict.

JOE: Don't supposed the enlightened get cancer.
ADRIENNE: Detective Saad. Fancy seeing you here.
JOE: Fancy.
Mind you, I shouldn't be surprised.
Mongrel dogs do tend to hang around back doors, waiting for scraps.
Scraps? (scoffs)
I'm way past scraps.
I've got a dossier on you the size of 10 phone books.
Goodness.
I'd say that's bordering on obsession.
ADRIENNE: What's your wife think?
She must be craving some of your attention.
Plenty of time for that when you're all behind bars.
Buy Dina some flowers on your way home.
ADRIENNE: Show her this other woman means nothing to you.
She's the one you really love.
(indistinct chatter)
(Judith exhales deeply)
JUDITH: I thought it was him, but I'm the one holding the knife.
And I'm not sorry.
I'm elated.
I'm dancing on a corpse and it's not his, it's mine.
(sobbing)
You've been reborn.
Know thyself, Judith, and thou shalt know the universe.
(Judith inhales deeply)
- COLIN: Sorry. - It's okay. Come, come.
(exhales deeply)
Judith, darling. Colin is hurting and I must clear him now, okay?
- Good job. - Thank you, Maitreya.
- (Judith breathes deeply) - ADRIENNE: Come.
(classical music playing)
Have you got it?
COLIN: My wife, Elena.
I think she's...
beginning to suspect who I really am.
ADRIENNE: You must release her from her pain, Colin.
You can't live a lie and you can't expect her to.
Your family is here,
surrounded by those who love and accept you.
Find your strength, Colin.
Hmm.
Yes, yes.
How was it?
What do you think they'll do to Asha?
The Hole.
She deserves it.
She wouldn't be punished if you'd let her go.
She wouldn't be punished if you'd aligned her.
I wonder who'll get the worst punishment, you or Asha.

SARA: Leave me alone! You're hurting me!
(Sara shouting)
You're hurting me! No!
(grunts) Get in!
(Sara grunts)
TAMSIN: Back!
No!
Stop!
- Stop! - TAMSIN: Get down!
(grunts, pants)
Don't you ever disrespect Maitreya again.
No! No.
SARA: No, let me out!
Don't leave me here.
No!
- I want my mom! - (Tamsin panting)
SARA (shouting): Let me out of here!
Help me! (banging on trapdoor)
Help!
Don't leave me here.
No!

(indistinct chatter in distance)
COLIN: Mate, you're drawing a long bow
if you think they're connected to the missing kid.
You reckon?
(grunts softly) Come on. Let's grab a beer.
- My shout. - JOE: You go, then.
If I find something,
Wilkes will have to approve a search warrant.
We get into Blackmarsh, we find Sara McFetridge.
(keyboard clacking)
COLIN: See you down there.
(suspenseful music playing)
(door creaks open)
(door closes)
ADRIENNE: Forgive me, Amy.
I put too much responsibility on you.
I expected you to behave like a grown-up.
To be Asha's teacher,
when you're only a child yourself.
How could I not have realized this?
Do you want to grow up, Amy?
You are my oldest daughter, the heir to everything that is mine.
It is you who must carry on The Kindred when I am no longer able.
But to do that, you must be initiated.
Are you ready for your Clearing?
Yes.
In order to go through, you must be cleared of all your sins.
That takes great courage.
ADRIENNE: Do you have that, Amy?
Yes. Yes, I do.
Then you are ready.
Open your mouth.
(Adrienne sighs)
ADRIENNE: The light shines brightest on you, Amy,
because you are the chosen one.
(suspenseful music playing)

Let me out!
Amy!

- (Sara grunts) - (banging)
(yelps)
You'll never go through if you let fear overtake you, Amy.
(breathing heavily)
(Sara grunting)
ADRIENNE: The light shines on you, Amy.
(music box tinkling)
Did you betray your family?
SARA: Help!
Help.
Amy, help me!
ADRIENNE:
You're not working hard enough, Amy.
(Amy sobbing)
(Amy mumbling)
- (screaming) - Amy!
SARA: My name is Sara.
(panting)
SARA: Amy, help me!
(sobbing)
Leave me alone!
I wanna go home!

SARA: Help. (echoing)
(ominous music playing)
SARA: Amy, help me! (echoing)
(birds chirping)
I want to go home! I hate this place and I hate you all!
(foreboding music playing)
Where's Asha?
Where do you think she is, Amy?
I don't know.
BRYCE: You have no idea?
No.
She's gone home.
You let her go?
She didn't belong here. She was never one of us.
I'm sorry.
I failed. I can try harder.
(breathes shakily)
(somber music playing)
(inhales deeply)
(exhales deeply)
(cell phone ringing)
(ringing continues)
Hello?
Amy, it's Wayne. Please don't hang up.
How did you get this number?
Look, just hear me out, okay?
(line beeps)
AUTOMATED VOICE: The number you have called is not available.
Fuck.
(car engine ignites)
(cell phone ringing)
Freya.
FREYA (over phone): You gave Wayne my number.
Yeah, he needed to speak to you.
Whatever Wayne needs, nothing's changed. You want him to take Billy?
- What? - Is that it?
(splutters) Of course not. No.
The black eye was an accident. You were right there!
Look, did you let him tell you why he wanted...
You have no right to interfere in my life.
Look, I was just, I was just trying to do what I thought was best for you.
- I'm your mother, you understand... - No, you are not.
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
- Hello. - WAYNE: Hey.
Thanks for this, Chris. Beats forking out for a motel.
Of course. We're family. Come on.
(Mo humming)
- MO: Hello? - Hey.
Any jailbreaks today?
Nope, but it is only midday.
Did you want to take your break now? I can... I can grab her lunch.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
(door closes)
FREYA: Wayne knows.
Christine told him and now, he's come to get Billy.
He's been following us,
talking to Billy at the school gate.
He knows where we live.
I can't let him do it again.
If I lose Billy...
Billy doesn't belong to Wayne.
(somber music playing)
Losing a child is the greatest pain a mother can bear.
ADRIENNE: And we know that more than anyone.
Wayne will never take Billy from you, Amy.
I promise.
(somber music continues playing)
Thank you.
Now, make me a gin and tonic before what's-his-name comes back.
Can't stand the baby food he shoves down my throat.
- (scoffs) - His name's Mohamed.
