REPORTER: Police have revealed an eyewitness saw a man talking to Carrie
shortly before she disappeared.
He's a loose cannon, sure, but kidnapping a kid?
Leaving you in that hot car? You could have died.
(cries)
FREYA: Maybe Max doesn't want to be part of my life.
JOE: Amy, you wrote in your diary that Henrik took Asha home
a few days after he kidnapped her.
Henrik's parole's been approved.
I said, "Leave it alone, Amy!"
These people are trying to bring down Maitreya
and destroy everything we've worked for, and you can stop that.
COLIN: Interpol confirmed
an Adrienne Beaufort cleared customs in Paris,
but they lost track of her after that.
WILKES: Find me a watertight charge and I'll have Interpol
-slap a red notice on her. -Thank you.
(upbeat music playing)
(upbeat music continues playing)
POLICE OFFICER: They're approaching the chateau now.
OFFICER: Bonjour.
COLETTE: Bonjour.
(in French) Delivery for Madame Beaufort.
-I'll see Madame gets it. -No. She needs to sign.
(deep sigh)
-Bonjour. -Bonjour.
Express delivery from Dr. Latham for Madame Beaufort.
Thank you very much.
Sign here, please.
Adrienne Beaufort, you are under arrest.
Colette! Colette!
(overlapping shouting)
-Hands in the air! Don't move! -(in English) There's been a mistake.
My name is Ada Smith. I'm an Australian citizen.
(in French) You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
-Colette! -(officer mutters in French)
Bring me a change of clothes, my makeup bag and my lawyer!
In that order!
POLICE OFFICER (on radio): We have target in custody.
(all cheer)
(breathes deeply)
POLICE OFFICER: She's coming home, boys.
(all cheer, applause)
Amy! Turn on the news.
REPORTER: The notorious cult leader extradited…
-They got her. -…on charges of child abuse,
forgery and welfare fraud,
arrived in Melbourne today ahead of her trial
after spending six years avoiding arrest
in a lavish chateau in the south of France.
(reporters clamoring)
(camera shutters click)
After working closely with Interpol to track her down…
-CHRISTINE: Thank God. -…a spokesman for state police
expressed relief for victims and their families.
-It'll all be over soon, bub. -REPORTER: Adrienne Beaufort
will now finally face justice.
(theme music playing)
(suspenseful music playing)
(screams)
ANTON: Get in!
(car door closes)
PRESENTER 1: The man is not a local
and is described to be in his mid to late 30s, so…
PRESENTER 2: She found sheltering in an abandoned…
-You took her, didn't you? -What's going on?
You took that poor little girl to Blackmarsh.
-Mom! -Carrie Anderson. I know it was you!
Can you hear yourself? You are losing it.
I saw the mattress down in the hole.
The teddy bear and the biscuits.
I'm gonna tell the cops everything.
You know, it's Billy I feel sorry before, having you for a mom.
Don't you say that.
Don't you ever say that!
-ADRIENNE: Enough! -Hey!
-ADRIENNE: Enough! -(grunts)
Where are you going?
FREYA: I have to tell them.
I can't have the police coming here, Amy.
Not with my situation.
Well, that's on Anton.
I can't help what I saw.
What did you see?
There was someone kept down in the hole at Blackmarsh.
What? That place is condemned.
They've been threatening to demolish it for years.
Bryce says they've got squatters down there.
No, no.
No, I swear that little girl was there.
We're family, Amy.
We take care of these matters ourselves.
Anton is sick in the head, Mom. You know that!
Your brother's had his troubles. He needs us.
I'm your mother.
I love you both, but you're the one I depend on.
You're the one I can trust.
Be kind to your brother.
And no police.
Good morning, Freya. Did you bring her shopping?
Er, no, but I will.
MO: Your mother wanted it cleaned.
Old favourite, apparently.
Oh.
You should have left her in the loony bin.
What did you do?
Nothing.
-(gate buzzes) -(rain pattering)
(gate rattles, buzzes)
(foreboding music playing)
(wind blowing)
Twenty-two years and they can't even send a car to pick you up?
(seatbelt clicks)
You wanna tell me now where Sara McFetridge is?
Really?
Still loyal after everything they did to you?
Thank you for the lift.
(foreboding music playing)
(gate closes)
(indistinct chatter)
(inmates shouting)
(Bryce sighs)
BRYCE: Maitreya.
What have they done to you?
They denied bail.
Can you believe it? A flight risk.
Their minds are small.
They can't see the future like we can.
You have to get me out of here, Bryce.
We will, Adrienne.
We have the best lawyers money can buy.
You don't see the way they look at me. They'll hurt me.
Like they think I did to my own children.
I've seen the look in their eyes.
These people are criminals.
They're capable of anything.
We'll get you out.
I know you will.
(sombre music playing)
Don't come again.
I don't want you to see me like this.
Guard.
(key clanking)
CHANCELLOR: Bryce, we need to talk.
This, um, business in the papers.
It's a witch hunt.
A shameless abuse of taxpayer money.
It's not the abuse in question here.
-Nothing is proven. -Yet.
And given the impending trial,
the Board feels it might be appropriate for you to, uh…
step aside.
You want me to resign?
It's front page, Bryce.
This is a place of learning, of new ideas.
Whatever happened to freedom of inquiry?
The matter of heresy has been raised.
Heresy?
I've been here 27 years.
Master of the College for 25.
I'm the most published academic in the faculty.
The Board is unanimous, Doctor.
Garrison.
BRYCE (on phone): After everything Maitreya has done for you.
We had an arrangement.
Not after what I saw at Blackmarsh.
You think you can drag us down? Drag me down?
We have you on tape, Colin.
How do you think you'll survive the police force
once they know what you really are?
(dramatic music playing)
(telephone ringing in distance)
WILKES: Yeah?
-You got a minute, Inspector? -Yep.
What is it, Garrison?
I'm gay.
Was there something else?
No.
That was it.
Righto then.
(uneasy music playing)
(indistinct chatter)
(uneasy music continues playing)
(indistinct chatter)
(door opens)
(suspenseful music playing)
Carrie.
(exhales deeply)
I don't want to hurt you.
I just need to know if you've…
if you've seen this man before.
Is this the man that took you?
I need you to look closely.
-It's really important. -NURSE: Excuse me,
how did you get in here?
The light shines on me.
-What did you say? -NURSE: Who are you?
I don't know her. What are you doing in here?
Tell me what you just said.
Get, get out. Get her out.
DEROSA: Miss Heywood?
I have to pick my son up from school.
Tell us first what you were doing in that hospital room, Miss Heywood.
(ominous music playing)
I was just trying to help.
The last thing I'd ever do is hurt that girl.
What do you know about her disappearance?
I… I followed it on the news.
Half the country followed it on the news,
but they didn't break into her private ward.
Aren't I supposed to get a phone call?
(telephone clanks)
(line beeping)
(sighs, sniffles)
(line trilling)
(cell phone ringing)
-Saad. -FREYA: Joe, it's me. I'm in trouble.
("Ma Vlast" by Vltava playing)
(thumping on door)
FERRET: Turn that fucken shit down! You hear me?
(door thudding)
Can't hear meself think with that wog bullshit playing!
(grunts)
That is Bedrich Smetana's Ma Vlast!
(Ferret groans)
(grunts)
(Ferret coughs)
What's wrong with you, mate?
(Ferret pants)
-OPERATOR: Hi. You've called Freya. -WAYNE: Hey, little man.
Please leave a message.
-There he is. (grunts) -(Billy laughs)
Oh, good to see you. Sorry I'm late.
Wanna grab your bag?
Hey, I'm Billy's father, Wayne.
Hi, I'm Sylvie.
Uh, Freya's not answering her phone.
She's caught up with something. I tried to get here as quick as I could.
-Let's hit the road, Bill. -Okay.
I'm sorry, but you aren't on the parental authority form.
-I'm his dad. -He is.
Well, the school needs confirmation from his mom, unless you're registered.
Freya was very particular about that.
Right. Well, she's not reachable at the moment.
I'll keep trying.
Why can't we go?
Soon, mate, soon.
(knocking, door opens)
Can I have a word?
(telephone ringing)
She's one of the cult kids from Lake Eildon.
When that schoolgirl was abducted and never found,
I was on the task force.
You know, she's pretty messed up.
Cut her loose.
(groaning sigh)
You're free to go.
(dramatic music playing)
(dramatic music continues playing)
HENRIK: You can stop following me now.
I have nowhere to go.
And no one to see.
You're not a detective anymore.
(tires screech)
-FREYA: I am so sorry. -(car door opens, closes)
-Mom! -Oh, hi.
Oh, sorry.
WAYNE AND FREYA: Whoo!
I'll put your name on the list first thing in the morning.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just a bad day.
You two seem to be getting along.
He's a good kid.
Maybe we did something right for once.
You did that all on your own.
Max is ignoring my calls.
I can barely get a word out of her myself these days.
But she came looking for me.
And then all of a sudden, she's just shutting me out.
I don't get it.
Teenage girls.
They're brutal.
I really messed things up with her.
We were young.
At least I had an old man to show me the way.
You didn't have anyone, Freya.
REPORTER 1: The notorious cult leader is facing a prison sentence…
REPORTER 2: The trial of Adrienne Beaufort…
-on multiple charges. -…begins today.
With the prosecution expected to call a former child member
of the disgraced cult to the stand.
-You okay? -Yeah.
(siren blaring in distance)
JOE: Come on.
Now remember what we talked about, okay?
When they call you to the stand, don't make eye contact with her.
Just tell them the truth, about the abuse,
and how she told you what to write, to blame Henrik.
But why would they believe me?
I already lied once.
You were 13, Amy.
You're not on trial here.
-She is. -ANTON: Amy!
Hey, Ames, come on, don't do this.
-Anton. Anton, excuse us. -Don't believe their lies.
What, are you gonna listen to him? He doesn't care about you. Come on!
-GUARD: Step away please! Move back! -ANTON: Ames!
Get off me. It's your mother!
-GUARD: Calm down, okay? Please. -ANTON: Your mother!
(cell phone rings)
JOE: Hello?
Hey. Yeah, we just got home.
I wanna say thank you for, you know, pulling a few strings.
Colin told me that
they're not sure the Anderson girl was abducted.
I know Anton's a stuff up, but…
maybe he didn't do this.
(bottle clanking)
ANTON (whispers): Come on, come on, come on. Get in.
Your old man is gonna lose his shit.
Hey, so you called your mom yet?
Why would I? She left me for dead.
Yeah, still, without her, we wouldn't have us.
Families have got to stick together.
(light music playing)
We must open the door to receive the radiance.
Darkness will lure us with promises,
tempt us with riches.
But we must never stop seeking the light,
and the grace of the unknowable truly…
Damn it!
(sighs)
(screeches)
Hey, come on. Go easy.
-Why? -Gotta be at your best.
-What for? -Meeting Grandma.
-What? -(Anton laughs)
-Now? -Yeah.
You wait until you see where she lives.
Oh, big fuck off mansion. (laughs)
Yeah, my mom, she can walk through time.
-What does that mean? -Oh, you'll know when you meet her.
Oi. Oi. (laughs)
(burps)
(laughs)
(door closes)
(key clanking)
Anton, is that you darling?
Mommy. Look who I brought you.
At last.
Hello, angel.
-Hello, Grandma. -(laughs)
What do you see when you look at me, Max?
I, uh…
I don't know.
-A criminal? -No.
But you've read about me, haven't you?
What do they say?
They say that you should be in jail.
They would say that, wouldn't they?
Nothing frightens these people more than a woman who follows her own path.
They say that your children hate you.
Does Anton hate me? Your mother?
She visits every day.
I guess not.
My enemies have kept me prisoner in my own home.
But not in here.
In here, I'm free.
What about you, Max?
Are you free?
Yeah.
I mean, free from what?
The past.
Must have been hard for you.
Little girl without your mommy.
Ah… (nervous chuckle)
-My dad did his best. -Oh, of course, he did.
Fathers have their role to play.
But in the end, it's mothers who give life,
who bear us, bring us into being.
Within them is our world itself.
They are home.
I was very fortunate.
My mother and I were very close.
But you?
Where was your mother all those times you needed her?
When you scraped your knee?
Lost your first tooth? Had a bad dream?
(sobs)
She wasn't there.
No, she wasn't.
And that's not fair, is it?
No.
You need someone to be there for you.
Your brother too.
Children need to be loved, Max.
Families need to be together, no matter what.
That's why I told you how to find her.
(sniffles)
Um, I need the bathroom.
Upstairs, on your right.
(sniffles, sighs)
(creaks)
We were so happy.
ANTON: But people keep trying to tell us that we weren't.
You know, the cops, the newspapers.
Interfering do-gooders.
But I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything.
Where you been?
And who was that in the van?
Max! I'm talking to you.
It's a bit late for that, isn't it?
(door closes)
(crickets creaks)
AMY: Asha!
(foreboding music playing)
Get out!
(pants)
(water sloshing)
(laughs)
(panting)
Okay.
-All right. -Come on, Leo.
Hey, make yourself some brekky. I'm just gonna run a bath.
Okay.
(sighs)
(flute trumpeting)
(water sloshing)
Billy?
What is that?
BILLY: A pipe.
Where did it come from?
-I don't know. I just found it. -Where?
Here on my drawing book.
(foreboding music playing)
That's upstairs done. Everything's locked.
(sighs)
There was someone in my house, Joe. This wasn't random.
Well, we'll get the locks changed, okay?
I can stay if you like. Let you get some sleep.
No, no, it's fine. I don't sleep much anyway.
Me either.
JUDGE: Order! Order!
Order in the court!
(indistinct chatter)
COLIN: Hey, aren't you supposed to be in court?
-They got to the jury. -Who?
The Kindred.
We need a unanimous verdict to convict, so they stacked the fucken deck.
You mean she could walk?
I swear I've seen that face.
We can get a mistrial, right?
Yeah, and then her slimy silk lawyer will string us out,
drag the AG into it and bury us in red tape.
This is him.
JOE: Rowan Tavister. Adrienne's fucking driver.
They got him on the jury.
(sighs deeply)
(dramatic music playing)
-REPORTER 1: Miss Beaufort! -REPORTER 2: Miss Beaufort!

-Thank you, Doctor. -REPORTERS: Miss Beaufort!
Miss Beaufort!
REPORTER 3: Miss Beaufort!
REPORTER 4: What are you doing, Miss Beaufort?
-Any comment. Any comment, please! -REPORTER 5: Miss Beaufort!
REPORTER (on TV): The mistrial was sensationally declared
after the discovery of a rigged jury.
But with no other jury panels currently available,
Adrienne Beaufort's lawyers and the DPP are now negotiating a new trial date.
The notorious cult leader was granted bail of one million dollars,
and asked to hand over her passport with strict conditions in place.
A spokesman for the police declined--
She can't hurt us.
(knocking)
(mellow music playing)
What do you want?
I… I spoke to the DPP.
This is just a bump in the road, that's all it is.
My mother can bend the world to her will.
She always has.
No. This is the law.
They'll set a new trial date.
They'll empanel a new jury who will find her guilty
and put her away for the rest of her days.
-I promise. -Don't.
Don't promise that.
Why couldn't you have just left her in that chateau in France?
We were safe then.
(lock rattles)
(key clanking)
It's never gonna end, is it?
ANTON: Coming through. Champagne, anyone? Yes?
Hi, Anne. Nice to see you. Simon.
(indistinct chatter)
Champagne, Aunty?
BRYCE: A bit of shoosh, please.
Uh… (clears throat)
To our master, who has finally come home.
ALL: Cheers!

(car approaching)
-Hey, Mo. -You just missed her.
She went for a drive with Dr. Latham.
FREYA: Yeah, I'm not looking for her.
(key clanking)
Anton!
You've been in my house, haven't you?
Yeah. I came to dinner, remember?
I know you left this for Billy. You're grooming him, aren't you?
(trumpeting)
Jesus, Ames, you have lost your shit.
Seriously.
What kind of person do you think I am?
A fuck up! You always have been.
Oh, and you're not?
Stay away from my house. You hear me?
Yeah, I was never there and it's not your house.

Oh, this is Tyler.
-Hello. -Hello.
Wow, look what she brought you.
ANTON: Wow.
Do you wanna go and run and show Mommy?
Go on.
(Anton sniffles)
FREYA: Why didn't you tell me?
Look, Ames, I know I've had my troubles, but I'm not what you think I am.
I'm a father now.
And I would never do anything like that to an innocent little kid.
What Aunty Tamsin did was messed up.
But that's not me.
Hey, you know Henrik just got out, right?
(eerie music playing)
Mommy's been talking to him.
Yeah, see you.
Henrik?
Hey, it's Freya. I just wanna talk.
