Dawn

[click of door latch then squeak of door opening]

Can I help you?

Come inside, out of the cold.

Have you got any kids?

No, well yes. One, but he's grown up now.

Are you alright?

It's quite a business you've got here.

I can make some tea if you'd like some.

Would you like some tea?

What are you doing mum?

Put your seatbelt on.

[electronic beeps of cash register]

Thirty six eighty.

Hello.

- You at the house? - Yeah!

You find it?

No, still looking.

Can you do a search on the plate?

- Yeah, okay. - Keep it to yourself yeah?

Sure. I found the hospital.

- I'll text you the address. - Okay, thanks.

[soft rhythmic music with vocals]

My lawyer's handling this.

Your lawyer's the one who suggested I talk to you.

You need to leave it.

She could have killed me.

If you go to the police...

it won't be long until the media finds out.

You don't want a bunch of reporters camped out in your front yard.

I don't care about that.

Did she say anything?

She asked me about my kid.

I'll sort it!

Don't have much time, you know.

I'll find her.

No police.

You alright in there?

Come here.

Roll the window down.

Are you alone?

Do you see anyone else?

Where are you headed?

North!

Can you get out of the car please.

- Why? - Just get out of the car.

- How do I know you're even a cop? - Look, it's fine.

Come on.

Have you been drinking?

I wish!

I'm going to have to get you to walk the length of your car.

It's this way, go on, here.

Stop there.

Can you touch your toes?

Are you serious?

Okay, we're done.

There's a motel about 30 k's along this road.

They'll have a room, I suggest you get some proper rest.

It's not safe to sleep out here in your car.

Night!

Okay.

Steph.

Steph?

Hello!

- Hello. - Have you got a room?

Yeah.

How much are they?

A hundred a night.

Payable in advance.

Eighty bucks for key and damages,

- You stay a seventh night, you get that free. -Okay.

Fill this out and sign the bottom.

- And I'm going to need some ID. - I don't have any ID.

What are you going to do?

I have a hundred and eighty cash though, do you want it or not?

Check out's at 10 a.m.

That's in six hours. You stay any longer and you'll have to pay.

It is what it is.

Hey you.

Come on!

Have they got a pool?

It's too cold to go swimming.

Come on, you've got to put something warm on.

Here, put that on.

I don't want you wandering off without me, okay?

Steph!

Stay close and keep the door locked.

Okay.

[clink of ice then crunching of ice]

- What? - Can we go outside?

No...

Because I want you where I can see you.

You can come too.

Why can't you sit still for one minute?

You've always got such ants in your pants, haven't you?

We can't stay in here forever.

Sure we can.

It's boring.

Can I go outside now?

I need to hide the car.

Come on.

Hi...

Have you seen this woman?

She might have been here yesterday.

Are you with the police?

Well, I used to be.

Didn't like the hours.

If you want to know something...

she stocked up on junk food.

People usually only do that when they're about to hit the highway.

Five years of working in this place will teach you that.

I'll take those.

You can grab another pack, fifty cents.

Three dollars.

Steph!

Yeah?

You need to trust me now, okay?

Okay.

Are we in trouble?

Not you...

just me, I'm in trouble.

Why?

Because I hurt someone real bad.

Okay.

- Good night. - Night.

Seven dollars.

Can I set up a tab?

Hi Carl.

I never got your name.

No, you didn't.

Thanks for walking me home, but I can take it from here.

Why? You got a husband or something?

I...

Look at that!

Mine or yours, up to you.

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this anyway?

I bet you say that to all the girls you pick up off the highway.

Yeah. Pretty much.

I don't want you coming to my door.

Yeah, no problem.

If you do that again...

I can hit you back.
