Blaze

(GIRLS LAUGH AND CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)

I think it's the best one yet. I just love it.

It's so random.

(' LITTLE BUNNY FOO FOO' PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES)

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Yeah. Good.

Good boy.

So, if you're happy to swing by our house,

then maybe we can both pick up Mum and see her together?

OK.

Alright, thank you.

Hey.

Oh. Hey.

You left without saying goodbye.

I had to take a call.

You heading back in for a drink?

Hey, come on, Jake...

Jake, come on.

Hey. Hey. We talked about this.

It's never gonna happen again. OK?

Come on.

With all that eye contact over lunch?

What was that? Hey...

Jake! What the fuck?! Alright?

(CHUCKLING) Fuckin' hell.

I didn't even know you were gonna be here.

Uh-huh.

Let's just go back inside, OK?

Let go of me!

No!

Don't!

Help!

Argh! Fuck!

Oi! Hey!

Please. Please, stay away!

No! No! (SCREAMS)

- (WHIMPERS) - There we go.

Yep. (GRUNTS)

- (JAKE GRUNTS) - (WOMAN WHIMPERS AND GROANS)

Hey.

Whoa, whoa.

Hey.

(DRONING, CREAKING, RUMBLING MUSIC)

(ECHOING) Please stay away from me.

Please, stay away.

You're a bit warm, darling.

You OK?

Oh, sweetheart. Sweetheart, you vomited.

Come on. Let's...let's get this sorted.

- Up you get. - Stop moving me.

No, it's OK. It's OK.

Stop moving me.

I'm just gonna get your jumper off. Arms up.

There we go. Come here.

OK?

It's OK, come on.

Let me sleep, Dad.

Clean you up. Come on.

You take your dress off. I'm gonna get a cloth.

Hey.

Come on.

You missed dinner, darling. You hungry?

Sit down, darling.

What's wrong?

You OK?

Hey?

Blaze.

Did something happen to you?

Oh...

Oh. Jesus.

Can you confirm that this is your daughter's?

Yeah. Yep.

Forensics have also recovered a urine sample

that, at this stage, does not appear

to belong to the deceased.

We can query her further tomorrow,

but we do need to take some DNA evidence now.

Yep.

Mate, I understand this is extremely hard.

Yeah.

Would it be easier if her mother was present?

Uh, she's not in the picture.

Oh.

Well, in that case, my female colleague will accompany Blaze

to the hospital and stay with her through all the procedures.

No, I'll stay with her. I'm-I'm her dad. I'll stay with her.

(DRAGON MAKES SOFT GROWLING SOUND)

At some point today, we need to go back to the police station

to complete our statements.

No.

I'll be right there with you the whole time, Blaze.

No.

They need your help, Blaze, to find the man.

Must be starving.

There you go.

How about your favourite? Scrambled eggs on toast.

And...

..then, I don't know about you,

but I am in the mood for six hours of Lord Of The Rings.

Which should take us through to dinner. That's pizza.

And what is that topping I never let you have?

That disgusting topping? Nutella?

Yeah. Today's your lucky day.

Six hours of earnest hobbits...

..and chocolate on pizza.

Talk to me, sweetheart.

Hey?

I'm here to support you.

There's a lot of people affected by this tragedy,

but you're my priority.

It's been two weeks. How are you feeling today?

You've got a committal hearing coming up.

And so one of the things that we'll be doing together

is helping you feel clear about describing the accident

to the legal professionals who will be asking you questions.

It wasn't an accident.

OK. Well...

..just remember you did the right thing.

You told your father, and you're helping the police.

That's very brave.

I did nothing.

I don't want you to feel shame in here.

Maybe we could find some more constructive ways

to describe how you're feeling.

Dragon.

I have treated a lot of kids like you

and I can see you're feeling a lot of big things.

And we just need to contain those

so that you can feel more confident in a courtroom.

Are you having any nightmares?

You know, Blaze, you might be surprised to hear this
