Michael, do I still have you?

Callum Parrish.
Did they get Callum?
(WHISPERS) OK, you listen to me, alright?
It's just me talking now,
but it's not gonna just me for too much longer,

You give me a chance to find you a good lawyer.
I don't need to talk to a lawyer.

- I need to talk to... - Stop, stop fucking talking!
J-just...
Just fuckin' stop talkin'. Stop.
What do you think happened out there?
They had Kate Reynolds. They were torturing her...
- No, no, no. - ...or something like that.
You shot two people.
You shot two people in front of your little daughter!

He'll live.
Kate Reynolds is dead.

Frankie?

I'm Michael Thorne.
Are you gonna open the kitchen or what? I'm fuckin' hungry.
We're with the Police Department.
- Well, you're not a cop. - Was a cop.
- I was a florist. Time, eh? - Huh.
We're looking for a woman named Margaret O'Connor.
- Do you know her? - I don't like her.
She's the fuckin' devil!
Frankie?

OK.

I do.
You were so lost, so confused.
But I helped you, didn't I?
I helped you become what you are.
I told you God had a plan.
Now look. (CHUCKLES)
Was I right?

Why me? Why did you come to me?
Well, you must realise by now that you are special.
You see things, you feel things
from the other side.
And one day, we will do extraordinary things.
- Do I have to? - Yes, you do.
I can show you again in the book...
No, I...
CALLUM: Four deaths to echo the deaths from the past.
It's what was missing.
But I found it.
Now I understand.
Do you understand the part you're going to play?
Yeah.
CALLUM: You are perfection.
(FRANKIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Callum showed me that I was special.
That I'd suffered for something.
That there was a plan to it all,
a purpose.
And this is it.
Your purpose was to kill three innocent people?
(MILLIE CHOKES)
It had to be done.
(SCOFFS)
You don't understand, but it had to be done.
Why don't you help me, Frankie?
Why don't you help me to understand?
They didn't suffer.
They were numbed. They were asleep.
And they weren't innocent.
A rapist, a con man and a parasite.
- They all deserved to die. - (MILLIE SIGHS)
Do you know that things
that Damien Tovey said about my mother on that show?
Oh, look, we'd all like to kill a podcaster.
FRANKIE: I had to do it.
Do you know why it didn't work before?
Because the vessel wasn't strong enough.
It killed Kate Reynolds because she wasn't prepared,
but I'm prepared!
Echoing the deaths of the past,
it strengthens the vessel!
It's in the book.

I want you to know
that they didn't suffer when I killed them.

I gotta head back.
- Gotta try and figure out... - I know where she is.
You're asking me to convince my boss

That's a mortgage on the house right there.
- I didn't ask him to do that. - Yeah, well, he has.
He's telling me -
and fuckin' hell, George, he has to have this wrong -
that you're demanding to stand trial.
I am.
You have rigged the indictment lottery here.
- I didn't kill anyone. - Institutionalisation.
Take some meds. Chat to a shrink. Paint a fuckin' mural.
Out in a decade. Less, maybe.
- Take the deal. - I didn't shoot her.
Take the deal.
How'd she die?
Have you seen her body?
Has anyone?
Charlie? Or does Callum run the place now?
MICHAEL: I'm fuckin' sorry!
Is everything alright?
We're fine, Izzy. It's fine.
I can't...
I cannot let this fuckin' thing claim everyone.
Have you thought about Frankie?
What a trial would do to her? Media attention?
They'll try to get her to testify.
She says you shot Reynolds.
She's been through a lot.
Next year, you want her visiting you for Christmas
in a place like this?
If you won't do it for yourself, do it for her.
George.
(MICHAEL EXHALES)
You know, he's persuasive, that Callum.
I just say this 'cause whatever he's got Frankie believing,
she's not the first one.
I know.
Yeah. Reynolds. Tolliver.
Some very well educated people believe that bullshit.
Yeah.
'Cause it is bullshit, right?
Might feel a little better if I heard you say it,
that you know it's bullshit.

Where's Georgia? I just spoke to a uniform at the rectory

I dropped her back at Havenbrook hours ago.

Didn't I call you? Called someone.
No, you didn't, but listen,
we've pulled some airline records.
Frankie Webb has taken five trips to Barrawin
in the past six months.
Barrawin's the closest town to that...

You didn't have to kill her.
She wasn't part of the plan.

I'm not sure that she did.
She chose to pry, to interfere. That's a choice.

Let those who have passed away tell their stories through me.

I didn't want to do this show.
It's been three months since Damien died,
three months since the second massacre at Parrish Station,
and we have, in a sense, some closure now.
Michael Thorne died in his rescue attempt
and will be remembered in the media nationwide
as the hero of Moorland.
Millie Farah, having survived the massacre,
is currently listed by the Police Department
as being on extended leave.
I can actually speak about this now.
I worked with Millie during the search for Damien
three months ago.
I consider her a colleague and a friend.
Callum Parrish's body was found in the radio tower.
The official medical report puts the cause of death
as heart failure,
although that report is heavily redacted.
Unfortunately, the only other two people
who might be able to shed light on this
are unavailable for comment.
(HEARING AID TRILLS)
