Not yet.

Like I said before, it's a job.
No, I'm not fucking doing this r

Arsehole!
Bitch.
Liar.
Can I help you?
Detective Richards, I'm here to
Miss Lee a few questions.
Is she in?
Little Sammy Lee.
Wow
Is that really you?
Those were happier times.
Tragic.
Such a young age.
Look
I'm going to have to ask you a f
questions about your relationshi
with your mother.
I don't think I can help.
I haven't seen or spoken to her
So you won't know if anyone want
to harm your mum?
I don't know anything about her
I don't think I can help.
So
I've read you've become a bit of
a truth exposure, hm?
What's the title of the--
the column you write?
No, don't tell me.
That's it.
Be sure your sins will find you
You've exposed some
high-profile people's
dirty laundry over the years, hm
Very good.
Can imagine it's--
not made you very popular.
Well, not amongst the savory cha
What's that got to do with
my mother's death?
I suppose you used to get in a f
threats then again, Sammy.
What?
A few threats, eh?
What does it-- you always say, S
That's it.
Nothing stays buried.
Nothing stays secret.
Be sure your sins will find you
Found this--
On the body?
This was inside.
Now the question I'm asking myse
is what does a 20-year-old murde

I don't know.
Don't you find it strange that t
would leave this pinned to the b
I don't know.
Who's the message for?
I don't know. I don't know.
Who's the message--
I don't know!
Get out!
I will find the truth, Sammy.
Get out!
I will, Sammy. Believe me.
Get out!
And remember, Sammy, secrets hav
way of revealing themselves.
Get out!
You okay?
She's got nothing to do with thi
Who was she?
Need some fresh air.
Do you want me to come with you?
No, I just need to get out
of here for a bit.
Mum
Love you.
You're my best frien
Are you Sammy?
Yes.
Some man asked me to give this t
What, man?
I'm so confused. I can't
believe we kissed.
Please meet me at the abandoned
grove so we can talk about it.
Please don't tell M...H.
I don't believe you. It can't be
Only happen once you have
to get rid of it.
No one can ever find out, especi
not M. It would devastate her.
Please, I'm begging you, don't
tell anyone...H.
Who's Henry Falls?
Where did you find that?
Don't avoid the question.
A boy I knew when I was younger.
Is he my dad?
I told you the story of who your
Yeah, but I'm not eight
years old anymore.
And I know you were 16 when you
Can we stop pretending like I'm
old enough to know the truth?
Is he my dad?
I'm not doing this right now.
it's a simple question, yes or n
I'm not doing this right now!
Is he my dad?
Just...
Stop.
Please, it's not that simple.
Come on.
Come on.
I thought I could do this withou
but I'm losing my mind here.
And on top of that, Eva's asking
Just... please... come.
I keep thinking if there was som
that I could have done...
If there's something I could hav

They were too in love...
They wouldn't...
He wouldn't.
And I keep wanting him to come i
through the door and saying,
"I'm okay, Mum.
I'm okay."
What do you want?
um
Hi, I'm really sorry to bother y
I was just wondering if a Mrs. J
Falls still lives here?
Why?
I'm Sammy Lee's daughter.
Sammy Lee?
Haven't heard that name in a lon
I'm sorry to do this, but
I'd really like to
ask you some questions about
your son, Henry.
That was happier times.
Thank you.
How old was he in that picture?
He'd have been about 16 when thi
Such a beautiful boy.
Been so quiet here without him.
I'm sorry.
Such a long time ago.
I found this in my mum's things.
I'm sorry to bring up old memori
but I'm just trying
to find out a little bit more ab
my mum's childhood.
Because, well, she doesn't
really talk about it.
erm
I just feel like I could underst
her a bit more if
I knew what she was like and who
she was friends with.
The three of them were inseparab
Every chance they had, they'd be
on some adventure together.
Completely oblivious.
We could all see it coming,
even if they couldn't.
They were growing up, you
know, usual things.
Hormones mixed with curiosity.
Started to change things.
What happened?
My son, Henry.
So loyal and gentle boy trapped
these flowering young women.
Totally ill equipped to navigate
love and friendship.
Michelle.
Captured his heart.
Love's so complicated when you'r
Everything seems so permanent.
Nothing's ever permanent.
It changed things between them.
Three suddenly became a crowd.
Something that was so innocent a
gave way to hurt and jealousy.
And jealousy can drive you mad.
It can make us do unspeakable
things to each other.
Things we can't take back.
My poor innocent boy was caught
in a spider's web.
Lured in by forces out of his co
One moment of weakness.
Set it all in motion.
That was that
The damage was done.
They told me he lured her
into the forest.
Forced himself on when she fough
And in a moment of passion turne
desperation, he struck her.
What he had done
He couldn't undo.
So riddled with regret and remor
in a moment of insanity
and love
My beautiful boy sealed his fate
I know your sins.
I'm really sorry about your son.
You have his eyes.
Are you Detective Richards?
What?
This is for you.
What the f k?
[DOOR KNOCKING
What do you want?
I'm here to ask your mother a fe
follow-up questions. Is she in?
Um. She's asleep.
That's a beautiful necklace.
What?
Turtle love.
Yeah, yeah, why?
Hm, a symbol of friendship and l
Okay.
Look, Mum's asleep, so you shoul
probably come back another time.
Strange, I find one similar on
your grandmother's body.
What?
Killer left this.
Seems a strange thing to leave
at such a brutal crime.
It's almost personal, I'd say.
Why are you telling me all this?
Who's the message for?
It's as if the killer was leavin
a message or a reminder.
Who's it for?
Suppose I'll figure out pretty s
Anyway, sorry to bother you. Lis

Okay.
Mum?
Ava?
Ava, are you here?
Is this you?
God, I wish.
It's Michelle.
What was she like?
She was stunning in every way.
She lit up every room she entere
Her laugh was contagious.
I loved her. Well, everyone love
God knows why she wanted me
as a friend, but...
She did.
Why have you never mentioned her
I don't know.
There were so many things in my
past that hurt so much,
I think I just decided at one
time to bury them.
And all of the good got lost
with all of the bad.
Like Henry.
Please.
I don't know how to answer
that. Just try.
Is Henry my dad?
I have a right to know.
I know you do.
It's just not easy for me to ans
I just need to hear you say it.
Is
Is Henry my dad?
Yes.
Why have you never told me
about him before?
How do you tell your little girl
her father never wanted her?
That he chose someone else
over her. Over us.
I hated him.
I hated him for such a long time
You know, when I look at you,
I have no regrets.
So, yes, Henry might be your
biological father,
but he's nothing more.
Don't owe him anything.
So let the past stay in the past
Nothing good ever comes from
digging it up.
I can't.
I'm sorry I know this is going t
you, but a part of me is missing

He's a part of me whether
you want to accept
that or not, or whether he
accepted me or not.
Why are you punishing me?
How am I punishing you?
Can't you see? I'm heartbroken.
I'm grieving.
How can you be heartbroken over

How could you keep this from me?

How could you be so selfish?

I'm sorry, Ava.
Oh love. Are you ok? Come here.
Sorry, I didn't know where to go

Henry
he's my dad.
You have his eyes.
You're my only connection to him
I've lost so much time not knowi

I feel like I'm losing her.
It won't, and you're not.
Well, it feels like it.
Well, if it feels like it, then
just talk to her.
Just tell her how you feel.
She'll get it.

But in her defence, sometimes

Now, look, Kiddo, can you do
me a massive favour?
And please, just try and

deep and find a bit of empathy
for your mum.
Just remember, she's just

from her whole life.
And you're asking her to run
through these events
and emotions that she's had buri
for two decades.
Yeah, it's going to take some ti
I know she wants to talk to you,
have a little bit of patience
with her, OK?
Because reliving that kind
of trauma, that's...
It's not going to be easy.

You agreed to stay away from her
I did. She came to me.
I don't want her to have anythin

She's his daughter. She has a ri

The right? He never even wanted

So was I.

She's my only connection to him.
I don't care.
She's mine, not his, and not you
Nothing you tell her about him w
the fact he was a broken killer.
Please.
Stay away from her.
Well, I think this is great.

the three of us.
Why did you move us?
Ava.

can't keep avoiding my questions
Can't we just sit down and enjoy
together without fighting?
And what? Pretend like this
isn't happening.
Like you haven't been lying
to me my whole life.
Come on, Ava, that's not fair.
Fair? Seriously, I feel like
I'm going insane.
Can't you just accept this

Stop with it. I'm a selfless mum

Well, that went well.
Subtle, Ava.
I know.
I know. I'm...
I'm just so frustrated with her.
I know she's going through a lot
I'm not ignoring that, but...
I finally have an opportunity to
where I came from and why
she hid it from me.
Listen, I know kiddo, but...
is it really worth jeopardising
you and your mum have got?
Because trust me, every family
has secrets.
Yeah, I know.
Look...
When I was your age...
I did exactly the same thing.
I confronted my own mother about
we never spoke about as a family
I pushed way too hard because I
wasn't thinking about her.
I just needed to know the answer
I said a whole load of stuff
that I didn't mean.
I made a lot of accusations, unf
And guess what?
I couldn't take any of it back.
Because every relationship has i
limits, its points of no return.
That was ten years ago.
We still don't talk.
Now, I'm not saying that's going
happen to you and your mum,
but you might just want to think
about what could happen
if you keep pushing her to a pla
that she's not ready to go.
Remember what we said?
Just be a bit more patient with
Yeah, I know, but she might
never get there.
Maybe not.
But you need to decide if knowin
is worth the cost.
They know.
What I can't figure out is,
why bring her here?
There's a connection between you
mother and this place.
Maybe the connection isn't her.
What do you think?
What do you want from me?
I think you have a secret admire
And they know something about yo
I just don't know if you want
the rest of us...
to know.
You want to save me some time?
Are you going to make me
dig a little deeper?
Do it to hell.
Be careful, Sammy.
One thing I'm fairly sure of...
they are not going to stop until
little secret brings you down.
And I'll be there when you
fall on your knees.
She was always such a sad lady.
I never saw her smile.
Just for pictures.
She always seemed so lonely.
I didn't know my dad either.
Mum only mentioned him once or t
My guess is he ran as soon
as she fell pregnant.
Maybe he felt trapped.
Or even just afraid.
But I hated him.
I hated him all my life
for abandoning us.
But mum disagreed.
No, for her it was all my fault.
I ruined their so-called happy m
Short-lived as it was.
You know, I don't think I
remember a single
happy memory until I met
Michelle and Henry.
I loved them both so much.
I think we spent every waking mo

It was our happy place.
Michelle was beautiful.
Inside and out.
She just loved life. It was cont

Firstly loyal.
Handsome, of course.
Strong.
Yet so gentle.

We started growing up.
And they just fell for each othe

But his heart belonged to her.
I became so jealous of Michelle.
just seemed to get everything.
So I pushed her away.
Being around them together
drove me insane.
So my life became lonely again.
I'm not a good person.
I know what I was doing when
I asked him to meet me.
I know Michelle wouldn't sleep
with him, so I did.
Just to make him mine.
If only for that moment.
Loneliness and heartbreak can ma

He...he killed her.
And then overwhelmed by guilt.
He hung himself.
It was my selfishness that kille
No, no.
I'm wrestle every day knowing wh
to them was all my fault.
No.
And knowing that I could never,
ever take it back.
Because if I did, it would
mean not having you.
I can't imagine that.
I'm sorry I never told you befor
It's okay.
It's just such a...
sad, heartbreaking time that I s
last 20 years trying to run away
So I never wanted to put any of
this sadness on you.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Come here.
Sammy.
Are you okay?
Sammy?
Sammy?
Sorry I was miles away.
Honey?
It's fine.
It's just this whole house is fi
so many memories and a lot
of them aren't.
It was never a happy home.
Not again.
What do you mean again?
Where did you get that?
I found it on the step outside.
What is it?
It's all catching up with me, Ro
I can't escape it this time.
Escape what?
Who's found you?
My mum is dead because of me.
That's not true.
They all are.

What the hell is this?
We've got to go to the police.

Just stop it!
I just don't like it. I want to

He's making me out to be their
killer. I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
I know you didn't.
Oh, no.
No, don't hurt me! No!
Please!
Please don't let me! No!
Evening, Mrs. Falls.
Sorry to disturb you this late.
Detective Richards, I'm here to
ask you a few questions.
Is it okay if I come in?
Look, ah...
I'm sorry to do this,
but I need to ask you a few ques
about your son, Henry.
It's been 20 years.
Can we not just let my poor boy
Look, I understand I know it's d
but I need to know about his rel
with Sammy Lee.
They were friends.
Nothing more.
What difference does it make now
My son's a killer.
Nothing's gonna change that.
Well, recent evidence has come t
surrounding the deaths of Michel
Thompson, your son.
What evidence?
We can now prove that Henry
was hung postmortem.
what,
What are you saying?
Henry never hung himself, Mrs. F
What, what does that mean?
I believe there was someone else
there with him that day.
Who?
She couldn't have done it.
Why not?
Because, no, she couldn't have d
Why don't you telling me?
She wouldn't.
It was his.
What was this?
The baby.
He knows.
Mrs. Falls,
I'm sorry, he knows.
I told him about Ava.
He said Henry didn't kill Michel
Do you hear what I'm saying?
My boys innocent.
He was murdered.
Please tell me what he's
saying isn't true.
Sammy
was it you?
No.
I loved him.
He said he could prove it?
I didn't kill your son.
I want to meet.
No, just, I want you to understa
what really happened.
Just give me a chance to explain
Yes, okay.
Tonight's fine.
They know.
Killer.
Leave me alone.
They know.
You're not real.
Be sure your sins will find you.
Leave me alone.
She told you, didn't she?
You're wrong about me.
Is that right?
I know you did it.
Lured Henry to the forest,
hoping to persuade him to choose
now that you carried his baby.
That's right.
But he rejected you.
Didn't matter that you were
carrying this child.
Not even that could make him cho
That make you angry.
Did you decide then that you
had to kill Michelle?
I didn't kill her.
She was the last obstacle in Hen
before she was free, before
he was free to choose.
No.
Did you hope by telling her the
that she would end things with h
She didn't.
Oh no, she doubled down on
her love for him
and that only fueled your desire
I didn't kill her.
Did she see it coming?
The rock.
You had to hit her several times
Even at death, she won.
Even when gone.
Stop it.
His heart was hers.
His heart would never be yours,
Stop.
I bet that made you angry, Sammy
Stop.
Poor little Sammy Lee.
Stop.
Poor little Sammy.
Stop it.
Feeling...
weak, and
Worthless.
Pathetic, liked the little 16 ye
old I know so well.
And then in your very own words,
Be sure your sins
will find you out.
I know...
Are you okay, darling?
Ava?
Ava, is that you?
Ava, where are you?
Where are you?

So was Michelle.

Yes, you did.
You made them blame him.

she was friends with.
The three of them were inseparab
Every chance they had, they'd be
on some adventure together.
Completely oblivious.
We could all see it coming,
even if they couldn't.
They were growing up, you

Hormones mixed with curiosity.
Started to change things.
What happened?
My son, Henry.
So loyal and gentle boy trapped
these flowering young women.
Totally ill equipped to navigate
love and friendship.
Michelle.
Captured his heart.
Love's so complicated when you'r
Everything seems so permanent.
Nothing's ever permanent.
It changed things between them.

Something that was so innocent a

And jealousy can drive you mad.
It can make us do unspeakable
things to each other.
Things we can't take back.

She lit up every room she entere
Her laugh was contagious.
I loved her. Well, everyone love
God knows why she wanted me
as a friend, but...
She did.
Why have you never mentioned her
I don't know.
There were so many things in my
past that hurt so much,
I think I just decided at one
time to bury them.
And all of the good got lost
with all of the bad.
Like Henry.
Please.
I don't know how to answer

I have a right to know.
I know you do.
It's just not easy for me to ans

Is Henry my dad?
Yes.
Why have you never told me
about him before?
How do you tell your little girl
her father never wanted her?
That he chose someone else
over her. Over us.
I hated him.
I hated him for such a long time
You know, when I look at you,
I have no regrets.
So, yes, Henry might be your
biological father,
but he's nothing more.
Don't owe him anything.

I did exactly the same thing.

What I can't figure out is,

Maybe the connection isn't her.
What do you think?
What do you want from me?
I think you have a secret admire
And they know something about yo

to know.
You want to save me some time?
Are you going to make me
dig a little deeper?
Do it to hell.
Be careful, Sammy.
One thing I'm fairly sure of...
they are not going to stop until
little secret brings you down.
And I'll be there when you
fall on your knees.
She was always such a sad lady.
I never saw her smile.
Just for pictures.
She always seemed so lonely.
I didn't know my dad either.
Mum only mentioned him once or t
My guess is he ran as soon
as she fell pregnant.
Maybe he felt trapped.
Or even just afraid.

I hated him all my life

drove me insane.

I'm not a good person.
I know what I was doing when
I asked him to meet me.
I know Michelle wouldn't sleep
with him, so I did.
Just to make him mine.

Evening, Mrs. Falls.
Sorry to disturb you this late.
Detective Richards, I'm here to
ask you a few questions.
Is it okay if I come in?
Look, ah...
I'm sorry to do this,
but I need to ask you a few ques
about your son, Henry.

What difference does it make now

Nothing's gonna change that.
Well, recent evidence has come t
surrounding the deaths of Michel
Thompson, your son.
What evidence?
We can now prove that Henry
was hung postmortem.
what,
What are you saying?
Henry never hung himself, Mrs. F
What, what does that mean?
I believe there was someone else
there with him that day.
Who?
She couldn't have done it.
Why not?
Because, no, she couldn't have d
Why don't you telling me?
She wouldn't.
It was his.
What was this?
The baby.
He knows.
Mrs. Falls,
I'm sorry, he knows.
I told him about Ava.
He said Henry didn't kill Michel
Do you hear what I'm saying?
My boys innocent.
He was murdered.
Please tell me what he's
saying isn't true.
Sammy
was it you?
No.
I loved him.
He said he could prove it?
I didn't kill your son.
I want to meet.
No, just, I want you to understa
what really happened.
Just give me a chance to explain
Yes, okay.
Tonight's fine.
They know.
Killer.
Leave me alone.
They know.
You're not real.
Be sure your sins will find you.
Leave me alone.
She told you, didn't she?
You're wrong about me.
Is that right?
I know you did it.
Lured Henry to the forest,
hoping to persuade him to choose
now that you carried his baby.
That's right.
But he rejected you.
Didn't matter that you were
carrying this child.
Not even that could make him cho
That make you angry.
Did you decide then that you
had to kill Michelle?
I didn't kill her.
She was the last obstacle in Hen
before she was free, before
he was free to choose.
No.
Did you hope by telling her the
that she would end things with h
She didn't.
Oh no, she doubled down on
her love for him
and that only fueled your desire
I didn't kill her.
Did she see it coming?
The rock.
You had to hit her several times
Even at death, she won.
Even when gone.
Stop it.
His heart was hers.
His heart would never be yours,
Stop.
I bet that made you angry, Sammy
Stop.
Poor little Sammy Lee.
Stop.
Poor little Sammy.
Stop it.

weak, and
Worthless.
Pathetic, liked the little 16 ye
