Today we are going to pretend to be trees.
We're gonna be tall, wonderful green trees...
...with really long branches.
And lush leaves. So if you stand up for me.
What's that noise? Can anybody hear it?
Wind.
Wind...
And then suddenly... there's a storm!
Bye! Bye!
Hey! How's the house hunting going?
Yeah, uh, it's okay. It's just been going on and on.
Take my advice. Pounce now. Market's going through the roof.
Yeah. We're gonna drop into the estate agent's later. So-
Well don't get left behind Gemma.
Bye.
Who did that to the poor baby birds?
I don't know.
Maybe it was a cuckoo?
Why?
Because it needed a nest.
Why don't it just make its own nest?
Because that's nature.
That's just the way things are.
I don't like the way things are. It's horrible.
Well...
...it's only horrible sometimes.
Molly!
Bye Miss Pierce.
Bye.
Hey there, little lady.
Come a little closer.
Ah, ah...come on, Mister Tree wants to get to know you.
Ah there you go. There you go.
Argh! Argh!
Ow, ow, ow! My bark!
Argh!
- Hey. - Hi.
Mm, so how am I at the tree game?
- You're, you're pretty mediocre. - That's good.
Ah...sad little things.
It's cruel.
Okay. There you go.
Hey, come on, show some respect, right?
Did you knock them down? No, I did not knock them down.
I'm a professional. Come on. How dare you.
A professional weirdo. Yeah, but professional.
I'm gonna get my own wheels one day.
Just you wait. I'm gonna have like a big...
...you know, muddy gardener's van.
- Sounds delightful. - Yeah.
Are you gonna change your T-shirt?
- What? - Your T-shirt.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
- Shit. - You stink.
They do judge me. Your mom is the worst offender too.
- Well she's hardly ever there. - She's there all the time.
Well she came with the apartment.
Yeah.
Hello.
We're just erm...looking-
- Yeah. - For something-
And you are?
I'm Gemma. This is my boyfriend, Tom.
Hey, what's up?
Gemma and Tom.
Lovely to meet you!
Well it's lovely to meet you too...Martin.
Yonder is a wonderful development.
Both tranquil and practical.
It has all you'd need and all you'd want.
And as for the prices...
...it's no wonder these houses are getting snapped up.
I know what you guys are thinking.
Suburbia.
But there's more to Yonder than what you see in these images.
We've lovely people.
All sorts of people ready to move in.
It's going to be a diverse community.
Something different. A nice blend.
Where's it located?
Near enough.
And far enough.
Just the right distance.
We could take a look if you like?
Do you have a vehicle?
- Oh shit. Unfortunately we... - Yes, we do outside.
Good. I'll get my keys. You can follow me.
We could arrange an appointment at a later date if you'd prefer?
But like I said...
...homes at Yonder may not be available for much longer.
It's not exactly what we're looking for...
...but erm, I suppose it's...
Worth a look.
Good. We're all happy then.
Jesus, Martin, you are one strange and persuasive mother fucker! Oh...
- Ready. - Yeah, ready.
Ready.
Okay. Here we go.
Okay...
Let's get this over with.
Okay.
Welcome to Yonder.
Thank you.
Number 9.
Many homes have the pretense of being ideal.
But these homes really are ideal.
Please go through.
Toasty.
- It's... - Yeah.
The living room.
A room to live in.
Memories will be made in the ample spaces...
...between these walls.
Come.
- Okay, it's good. It's good. - Yeah.
I love it. I love the single hue.
A welcome tipple.
I'm, I'm driving.
Perhaps a strawberry.
Oh no, I'm...I'm driving.
Blue for a boy.
You've got it all worked out.
Number 9 is not a starter home.
This house is forever.
The perfect environment for a young family.
Do you have children?
No. Not yet.
The master bedroom.
Yeah.
If you follow me to the back garden.
A haven of nature.
It's good. It's nice here.
If you wanna...
...live here, there's a lot of space.
So when are people due to move in?
Martin?
Martin...
Hello?
Yo?
- His car's gone. - Huh?
His car's gone.
Good. Now lets get the fuck out of here.
Okay dokes.
Bye bye!
That guy was so strange.
Yeah. Wait...
No, no, I don't think this is the right way.
Yeah, this is the way we came in.
Nah, is it?
Yeah.
Wait...
What, you think it was back there?
Yeah, I think it was back there.
Lemme just see what's round here though.
Number 9 again.
Did we just do some kind of loop?
What the fuck?
Wait, did we...did we leave the door open?
How've we just...
Want me to drive?
- No, I'm good. - Yeah? You're good?
Cos I think we're literally going in a circle.
Tom...
Alright...
Gimme the wheel.
What?
What difference is that gonna make?!
Okay, come on. Gimme a go.
- You wanna go? - Yeah.
- You wanna go on the car? - Yeah.
What are you, six?
Yeah, I'm six. Come on, just move over.
Fine...
I'll give you...
...a go.
A little go at the car.
Okay, lets go.
- Do you have your phone? - Yeah.
Anything?
No, there's no coverage in either of them.
Great.
- Tom... - What?
Number fucking 9 again.
Fuck this.
Oooh you are not doing that in my car.
I'm opening a window.
Such a jerk.
One second, I'm stressed.
Okay. Lets go. Thank you.
Number 9.
Why the fuck do we keep seeing number 9?
I haven't seen a single car. There's nobody here.
If I see another...
- ...row of green houses... - Okay, who the fuck...
- ...I'll lose my mind. - ...lives in this place?
This shit is not possible, okay? It's just not possible.
We got in here and he obviously got out...
Tom, we have gone this way.
- I have gone this way that's... - All right, no, no, just...
- Just let me figure this out... - ...where you took the wheel.
Please, can you just listen to me once
I think we should take a left.
I know what I'm doing.
We've done this five or six times.
Just goes on and on and on.
It's empty.
Oh my god.
Hello?!
Hello?
Let's go inside.
No taste.
I've never heard such silence.
No.
Come here.
Alright, hold the base with your foot.
Be careful.
Okay...ooh.
Well, what do you see?
Tom? What do you see?
Hey maybe, maybe we should follow the sun.
We'll...we'll cut through gardens, we'll jump over fences.
Wha-whatever it takes, alright?
We're gonna get out of here.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I gotta stop, I gotta stop.
- Tom, there's a light! - What?
There's a light!
Holy shit!
- Hello? - Hello!
Hello?
What's happening?
What the fuck?
Come back!
Help!
Come back!
What have you done?
I'm sending out a smoke signal.
Oh my God...
Hi...
It's a boy.
Someone must be watching.
There must be some way out of here.
Everywhere has a way out.
Yeah, well maybe Gemma, if you didn't say no...
...to every other God damn house we looked at...
...we wouldn't have ended up here!
So I'm to blame?
How is this my fault Tom?!
I'm sorry Gem.
It's just this place is making me crazy.
The food here makes me feel sick.
Creepy little mutant.
Measure me!
Measure me! Measure me!
Am I bigger today?
Yes. You're bigger today.
I grow as fast as a dog.
That's right.
What is a dog?
We already told you what a dog is.
Woof, woof, woof!
Yes. Woof, woof, woof, woof.
Woof, woof, woof, woof...
Are you...overwhelmed again, mother?
I am not your mother.
Who IS my mother?
God knows.
Dog knows! Dog knows! Woof, woof, woof...
Yum, yum.
I don't know why we do this.
They never seem to come...
...when we're waiting to bash their brains out with a pick.
It's futile.
Yeah, like putting an S.O.S. on the roof...
...when planes never seem to pass, right?
Yep.
Watching.
That boy...
...is always watching.
That's not a boy.
Coffee?
Yeah, sure.
This is pointless. It's just weird muck.
The box has gone.
Did you, did you move the box?
Tell me.
- Where are the roots? - Tom!
Where's the subsoil. Where's anything?
Its gone. I was right here. I was standing right here.
I was looking at the road.
Tom?
Tom?! Stop!
- Stop! - Gemma, please!
Just let me dig, okay?
This is something I can do. Please just let me do this.
You were digging all day.
- All day, Tom. - Yeah.
Why?
It's gotta have a bottom.
It's gotta, gotta lead to somewhere.
- Where? - I don't know.
Australia.
Yeah, maybe.
Or hell.
No.
No, we're already there.
Right, I'm gonna head back out.
Oh well, wait for me. I'll come with you.
Yeah well, we only got that, the one spade.
Well, I could use the pick.
You know, it kind of comes off in clumps now, but thanks.
Woof, woof!
Woof, woof, woof, woof!
Woof, woof!
Woof, woof, woof, woof!
There's like a smell in this car.
It's not bad, it's just like...
..it's like a real smell.
- Have you noticed it? - Yeah, yeah.
I like it. I've just been...
...breathing it in.
Pretending that I'm home.
The battery still goes. Jesus!
Tom...
Tom! You okay?
Tom!
Are you alright?
Let me see.
Are you okay?
We can't be with you all the time.
People like to be alone sometimes, okay?
Do you understand?
Not being with each other all the time.
Forget it.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, mother.
I'm not your mother.
What the fuck?
What do you want? We've fed you.
What do you want?
Jesus, say what you want! What do you want?
Shut up....shut up!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Gemma please, just let me do this, okay?
This is something I can do. Just please Gemma, let me do this.
Fucking disgusting.
Please Gemma, just please.
Do you know that?
Just please let me do this.
You're fucking disgusting!
Sorry.
It's okay.
I am fucking disgusting, you know that?
I am fucking disgusting.
You gonna dig today?
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Do you feel like you're making progress?
Yeah.
Yes well, I'm gonna erm... I'm gonna get back to it.
Thanks.
Go to bed! Go to bed!
Listen to me, go to bed.
Stop, stop.
Gemma...
No.
- On. - No.
What am I supposed to do with him?
Whatever.
What are you doing?
Tom!
I'm locking it up. I'm gonna starve it.
Tom...Tom!
Gemma, stay!
Alright. Get in.
Come on...
Give me the keys.
- No, no. Get back in the house. - Give me the key! Tom...
- Tom... - Gemma, come on!
Tom, give me...the keys!
I am not looking after it okay? You will leave it there.
Don't play with it. Don't feed it.
Don't have anything to do with it. You will let it starve.
Let me up!
Look, it had you acting like you're its fucking mother!
Okay? You're putting it to bed at night...
...you're telling it not to watch cartoons!
Tom, let me up!
Look, I'm sorry, but I will not let you help it.
Okay, if they don't want it to die, they'll come for it.
It's up to them.
What if they don't come?
What are we supposed to do? Do we just sit here
and wait for him to die?
- It. - What?
It. Not him.
Stop saying him.
If it dies, maybe they'll let us go.
Hey, it's okay.
He's not gonna hurt you, I promise.
You can come out.
I'm sorry.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you.
Can you hear me?!
(coughs) I can hear you.
He'll get tired soon.
And he'll go to sleep.
You should go to sleep too.
Have a dream.
What's a dream?
It's erm...
It's like all sorts of moving pictures in your mind...
...but no one else can see them.
I've never had a dream.
Well...
Close your eyes and try.
I know you're in there. You fuckers are gonna die.
You hear me? I know you're down there.
What lovely sky we have.
It is lovely to live under a lovely sky...
...and a lovely house with lovely houses...
...all around us.
You're such a mystery.
You're a mystery and I'm gonna solve you.
I'm a mystery! I'm a mystery!
Do you see that cloud?
What's that cloud in the shape of?
A cloud.
That's right.
Do you see that other cloud?
Yes?
What's that cloud in the shape of?
- A cloud. - Yes.
Another cloud-shaped cloud.
All the clouds here are shaped like clouds.
Perfect, sickening...
...little clouds.
Do you like clouds?
Where I come from...
...clouds come in all shapes and sizes.
Some of them look like faces and some of them look like dogs.
Woof woof!
Woof! Woof!
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
Did you see the boy?
He's gone missing.
Well, so have we.
Hello?
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Where were you today?
I was solving a mystery.
Really?
What did you discover?
Lots.
Lots? Like what?
Lots and lots.
Did you meet anyone when you were solving your mystery?
I met you when I was finished.
Did you meet anyone else?
Anyone you've never met before?
Who?
I'm not allowed to say.
Let's play a game.
Let's play pretend.
Pretend to be me.
Whatever.
Can you pretend to be Tom?
Gemma, stay!
- Will I do a dog? - Yes, please.
Woof, woof, woof!
Is there anyone else you can do?
Someone you met today?
Pretend to be that person?
Are you...overwhelmed again, mother?
I am not your mother!
Are you overwhelmed?
I want...to go...home!
Silly mother.
You are home.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Do you mean that?
Or is that sarcasm?
Are you being - sarcastic?
No.
But you don't really mean that I'm welcome. Right?
I was being polite.
Why are you being polite?
Is it fear?
Probably.
You need to eat something.
I'll try.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
Why didn't I let you kill him when he was young?
Cos you're a, you're a good person.
Thanks.
You like playing this game, don't you?
Oh...oh!
Tom!
Gemma?
Gemma!
Tom!
Gemma...!
Gemma!
Tom?
Gemma...
Gemma!
Tom...
It's locked. Locked.
Hey!
Open the door!
Let us in!
Open! Open the door!
Open the door!
Tom.
Tom?
Tom.
Please...please, please.
Please. You need to help us.
'Cause he's getting sicker and sicker.
Please, you can't leave him this way.
You know, maybe it's time he was released.
Do you remember...
..the wind...Gemma?
Before we got here?
Yeah.
The wind was great.
I never realized how much I liked it.
I'm glad that guy stood you up.
You looked so glum.
I didn't know if it was okay for me to go over...
...and like talk to you.
You looked so glum and so cute.
I can't even remember what I said.
You didn't say anything. You just...
...stood next to me.
Oh shit.
That's creepy.
You told me I looked like I needed a drink.
You did.
You said I looked like I needed one too.
Hm-mmm.
And I can't,
I can't remember what happened after that.
Yes, we drank.
Yeah.
We drank and...we drank.
Tom...
Tom, what happened then?
Then I...
I must've fallen over.
And woken up on... on your couch.
And the sun was in my eyes. I couldn't see anything.
I didn't know where I was.
You looked like you came out of the sun.
I could just see your silhouette.
And then when I, when I finally saw you,
I realized where I was.
And you spoke to me.
What did I say?
You asked me if I wanted some scrambled eggs.
And?
And that was that.
Yeah.
That was that.
I kind of felt like I was home.
Because of you.
I'm...I'm home right now.
Tom.
Tom?
Tom.
Tom...
What am I?
What is this?
What am I in this?
You are a mother.
- A mother? - Yes.
Someone who prepares her son for the world.
What does a mother do then?
She dies.
You go to sleep now.
Have a nice dream.
All we wanted...
...was a home.
Silly mother.
You are home.
I'm not your fucking mother.
Pardon?
I said,
I'm not your fucking mother.
Whatever.
