Alice is then sent to live with her estranged grandmother, June (played by Sigourney Weaver), who runs Thornfield, a remote flower farm that also serves as a refuge for women escaping domestic abuse. At Thornfield, Alice learns the "language of flowers" – a way to communicate unspoken emotions and truths through native Australian wildflowers.

00:08:13My name's Sally.
00:08:16I'm the librarian here.
00:08:18What's your name?
00:08:21I'm Alice.
00:08:24Alice Hart.
00:08:25Alice Hart.
00:08:34How old are you?
00:08:36I bet you're old enough to have your own library card.
00:08:39Would you like one?
00:08:45There you go.
00:08:46I don't know about you, but I am starving.
00:08:54Should we have a cup of tea and something to eat
00:08:56while you decide which books you want to take home today?
00:09:00I just popped the kettle on.
00:09:01It's definitely Clem Hart's daughter.
00:09:21She's got bruises all over her little arms.
00:09:29She must have walked here.
00:09:32Please, John, just come down.
00:09:34If you call that search party, she's, uh, she's here.
00:10:01Yeah, she just walked right in through the front door.
00:10:07She's, um, yeah, she's safe and sound.
00:10:11Cheers.
00:10:12No, no, thank you for calling, mate.
00:10:13I really, uh, yeah, I really appreciate the time.
00:10:18Bye-bye.
00:10:18Bye-bye.
00:10:48Bye-bye.
00:11:18I don't know.
00:11:48You let Daddy do all the talking, okay?
00:11:58Hey, mate.
00:11:59Hey.
00:12:00I apologise for turning up unannounced.
00:12:02Can I come in?
00:12:03Come on through.
00:12:13Can I get you a cup of tea, or...?
00:12:16No, no.
00:12:17Don't go to any trouble.
00:12:18Sorry about the mess.
00:12:19No, no.
00:12:21Just following up after Alice's visit to the library.
00:12:24Ah, yeah.
00:12:25She's an adventurous little thing.
00:12:27Scared the pants off everyone, but, uh...
00:12:30No harm done.
00:12:34Look, I won't waste your time.
00:12:36The librarian reported seeing bruising on Alice's arms and legs.
00:12:40Alice is always climbing trees.
00:12:42Rough-housing with the dog, mate.
00:12:43Gets yourself covered in bruises.
00:12:49Is this your dog, Alice?
00:12:52Yeah?
00:12:53What's his name?
00:12:55Toby.
00:12:57Toby to blame for all these bruises?
00:12:58You didn't mean to hurt me.
00:13:11Well, uh...
00:13:12You left these behind.
00:13:20Sally wanted me to tell you they're all yours for the next four weeks.
00:13:22And then maybe Mum can bring you into town and you can borrow some more.
00:13:29That'd be good, wouldn't it, Alice?
00:13:35Right, mate.
00:13:36Well, um, how about I show you out?
00:13:38I mean, you said, no, I do not, um...
00:13:39You know, I can't always do it.
00:13:40And someone told me you don't want to.
00:14:06I'm so grateful.
00:14:07At the end of its life,
00:14:35the phoenix would build a nest before erupting into flame,
00:14:41its body consumed by fire,
00:14:45only to arise from the ashes reborn,
00:14:56made new again.
00:15:05At the end of its life,
00:15:11the phoenix would be the same.
00:15:15The phoenix would be the same.
00:15:19The phoenix would be the same.
00:15:25Alice.
00:15:39Alice.
00:15:41Alice.
00:15:43Alice.
00:15:45I'm taking Mum for her check-up.
00:15:47It won't be long, puppet.
00:15:49You stay here, okay?
00:15:53Be good.
00:15:55Alice.
00:15:59See you later, pup.
00:16:03How about I bring you back a photo of the baby,
00:16:07so you can see what he looks like in there.
00:16:11We'll pick you up some more books from the library if we have time.
00:16:16Can we keep a selkie story?
00:16:18We've already read that.
00:16:20Alright.
00:16:21Come on, Agnes.
00:16:31Fire is an element that requires three things to burn.
00:16:57friction, fuel, and oxygen.
00:17:27It's okay, Toby.
00:17:33It's okay, Toby.
00:17:57Time to run around.
00:17:58Just take a deep breath,
00:17:59I'll pick you up.
00:18:00I hope I'll make you up here.
00:18:02It's okay, Toby.
00:18:03I'll make you up here.
00:18:04I'll show you the next day,
00:18:06for the next day.
00:18:07I'll be right back when we close our eyes to the people.
00:18:09I won't be right back.
00:18:10I'll leave you in here.
00:18:11I'll let you all know.
00:18:12You notice the eyes of theródolons.
00:18:14I've opened here.
00:18:15I've opened here.
00:18:16I'll be right back.
00:18:17I'm sorry, Toby.
00:18:18It's okay, Toby.
00:18:20I've opened here.
00:18:21I'll be right back.
00:18:22I've opened here.
00:18:23I've opened here.
00:18:24I've opened the door.
00:18:25I've opened here.
00:19:56Hi, sweetheart. What's going on?
00:20:16Fire. The Hart House.
00:20:19What? Atlas was just here.
00:20:24Call you when I know a bit more.
00:20:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:21:16I didn't know you were friends with her hearts.
00:21:20Oh, a bit.
00:21:23Well, it's good for you to be here.
00:21:30They're taking her to theatre.
00:21:32Alice is already upstairs.
00:21:46Alice is here.
00:22:16Alice is here.
00:22:46Alice is here.
00:23:16What the hell happened out there?
00:23:36Is this our fault?
00:23:38Agnes.
00:23:58Agnes.
00:24:00Agnes.
00:24:02Agnes.
00:24:32Agnes.
00:24:42Agnes.
00:24:43Just brings it all back.
00:25:05Being in that hospital.
00:25:13She's in the same room as the Gemma died.
00:25:19I'm not.
00:25:20So we have two fires, one on the shed and the other which killed Clem started here in the
00:25:48child's bedroom.
00:25:51The accelerant's been used, it's most likely kerosene.
00:25:55I'm not.
00:26:02I'm not.
00:26:04I'm not.
00:26:06I'm not.
00:26:08I'm not.
00:26:09I'm not.
00:26:10I'm not.
00:26:11I'm not.
00:26:13I'm not.
00:26:14I'm not.
00:26:15I'm not.
00:26:16I'm not.
00:26:18I'm not.
00:26:19I'm not.
00:26:20I'm not.
00:26:21I'm not.
00:26:22I'm not.
00:26:23I'm not.
00:26:24I'm not.
00:26:26I'm not.
00:26:27I'm not.
00:26:28I'm not.
00:26:29I'm not.
00:26:30I'm not.
00:26:31I'm not.
00:26:32I'm not.
00:26:33I'm not.
00:26:34I'm not.
00:26:36I'm not.
00:26:37I'm not.
00:26:38I'm not.
00:26:39Excuse me.
00:27:06This is a crime scene.
00:27:10I have to ask you to leave.
00:27:14I'm Clem's mother, June.
00:27:18I want to see my son.
00:27:21And I want to see his family.
00:27:27Ella still isn't conscious.
00:27:30But you can talk to her.
00:27:33She can probably hear you.
00:27:36Butterfly bush.
00:27:54Butterfly bush.
00:27:56Means second chances.
00:27:58But she has multiple fractures.
00:28:05Her right lung is collapsed and there's damage to her trachea from a trauma.
00:28:09What kind of trauma?
00:28:12Looks like she's been choked.
00:28:16And the baby?
00:28:17We had him airlifted to a neonatal unit in Sydney, but realistically, a baby born at 25 weeks, 700 grams without his mother, the outlook isn't good.
00:28:30When can I bury my son?
00:28:32Um, well, maybe we should take a walk.
00:28:40There'll be a coronial inquest.
00:28:42It'll be months, I'm afraid.
00:28:47So, may I ask why you've had no contact with your son?
00:28:49Did you know Agnes?
00:28:59Nope.
00:29:02And Alice?
00:29:05Clem sent me a cryptic message nine years back, so I assumed there was a child.
00:29:10But he didn't leave a return address.
00:29:20Let me know when I can make arrangements.
00:29:24Yeah, of course.
00:29:24Where are you staying in town?
00:29:26I'm not.
00:29:27She's going home.
00:29:49I don't mean to charge you.
00:29:52Really?
00:29:53What a cow.
00:29:57What's going to happen to the kids?
00:30:04They need someone to care whether they live or die.
00:30:08Yeah, I'll look for another next of kid.
00:30:27I don't care.
00:30:38I don't care.
00:31:44Agnes is dead, too.
00:31:47They're both gone.
00:31:51I think he did it.
00:31:53What about the girl?
00:31:56In a coma.
00:31:57And the baby?
00:31:59Not gonna make it.
00:32:00Oh, my darling, I'm so sorry.
00:32:08We need to tell Candy.
00:32:13It'd be better coming from you.
00:32:15I'm so sorry.
00:32:45I don't know.
00:32:56I don't know.
00:33:02Mum?
00:33:03None?
00:33:15Who died?
00:33:33What are you doing?
00:33:43She's not coming back.
00:33:45No point keeping it for her.
00:33:48You can't just erase Agnes like you did Clem, June.
00:33:52And you can't erase their child, either.
00:33:55She's our granddaughter.
00:33:57The best hope that child has is to get as far away from this family as she can.
00:34:02Don't try and change my mind.
00:34:06I know you love stories.
00:34:32What shall we read?
00:34:42Bluebeard?
00:34:47No.
00:34:48Bluebeard can fuck right off.
00:34:55Rumpelstiltskin can get lost, too.
00:34:59I know this was one of your mum's favourites.
00:35:19At least it has a semi-happy ending.
00:35:21A long time ago, on the wild Scottish coast, the Selkies lived proud and free, part seal,
00:35:36part human, singing their magical songs with the voices of angels.
00:35:41Big boy!
00:35:48Every full moon, the Selkies would come to the surface to shed their seal skins and dance naked under the moonlight.
00:36:00One night, a fisherman hid away, he saw one seal woman, so beautiful, that he wanted to have her all for himself.
00:36:10So while she danced with her sisters, the fisherman stole her seal skin.
00:36:28Asshole.
00:36:29How did she get out of her skin?
00:36:31Was there blood?
00:36:32Oh, Alice, let me read.
00:36:35Okay.
00:36:35When it was time for the sisters to return to the sea.
00:36:40Alice.
00:36:49Come and have a look, Poppet.
00:36:53I even carved some of your favourite flowers.
00:36:55It's Red River, girl.
00:37:17Well, I take that means you like it.
00:37:19So the Selkie woman went with the fisherman, and over time, she fell in love.
00:37:31They had two beautiful children, a girl and a boy.
00:37:37But not even her children could make the Selkie woman forget her skin, her sisters, and the sea.
00:37:58Alice.
00:38:02It's okay.
00:38:05Deep breaths now, Alice.
00:38:06Deep breaths.
00:38:24Alice.
00:38:28There was a fire.
00:38:30At your home.
00:38:34A terrible, terrible fire.
00:38:36I'm sorry, Alice.
00:38:42Your mummy and your dad didn't make it.
00:38:55I'm so, so sorry, sweetheart.
00:38:57But you're not alone.
00:39:10But you're not alone.
00:39:13I'm here.
00:39:15And I'm going to take care of you.
00:39:20I'm here.
00:39:20I don't know.
00:39:50Knock, knock.
00:39:57Someone left a present for you at the nurse's station.
00:40:01Don't know who.
00:40:13Oh, Harry Potter.
00:40:18You don't know Harry Potter?
00:40:21Well, they're only the most famous children's books ever written.
00:40:32But we can only read if you eat.
00:40:37Because if you're eating, you can come home.
00:40:39You're going to love it, Alice.
00:40:46It's so beautiful.
00:40:49We've got your room all set up.
00:40:51We're right by the sea.
00:40:52A beautiful swing in the backyard.
00:40:54These are my famous chicken sandwiches.
00:41:03Lemon tarts and homemade lamingtons.
00:41:09Like lamingtons?
00:41:10Morning, bub.
00:41:31Is June coming?
00:41:39No.
00:41:40She left hours ago for the funeral.
00:41:44You could plant that one for Clem.
00:41:48This one's for Agnes.
00:41:50And I've got the last old man Banks here for the baby.
00:41:53Put it in between them.
00:41:54Your name will be written in the stars, little one.
00:42:08You know it's okay to cry for him.
00:42:24I know.
00:42:25Oh, what!
00:42:32Let's go.
00:42:33Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:42:39makers in the hour for her.
00:42:44Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
00:42:47Ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:42:51Ah, ah, ah.
00:43:23Hi, Julia.
00:43:36It's good to see you.
00:43:39We can walk in together if you like.
00:43:41I'm good on my own, thanks.
00:43:53I'm good on my own.
00:44:23I'm good on my own.
00:44:53I'm good on my own.
00:45:23I'm good on my own.
00:45:53I'm good on my own.
00:46:23Alice?
00:46:25Alice?
00:46:27Alice?
00:46:29Alice?
00:46:31Alice?
00:46:33Alice?
00:46:39Alice?
00:46:41Alice?
00:46:43Alice?
00:46:49Alice?
00:46:51Alice?
00:46:53Alice?

00:46:57Alice?
00:46:58Alice?
00:46:59Alice?
00:47:03Alice?
00:47:05Alice?
00:47:07Alice?
00:47:09I'm sorry.
00:47:15I love you.
00:47:22Yeah, it's good.
00:47:28So you've met your grandmother.
00:47:39I never signed anything.
00:47:48You can't do this.
00:47:50I can, actually.
00:47:51No, we had an agreement.
00:47:52I'm her grandmother.
00:47:53And you didn't want her.
00:47:54So, June's the only next of kin.
00:47:56The decision is hers to make.
00:47:58I'm sorry, it's...
00:48:00It's settled, then.
00:48:01Surely you can stop this.
00:48:03This is for home.
00:48:06Alice, the doctors say you're well enough to go home.
00:48:09So you're coming with me back to Thornfield.
00:48:12So point out whatever you want to take with you.
00:48:15I'd like to get going before it's too late.
00:48:30Let's start with your box of books.
00:48:39I'll let you in on a little secret.
00:48:43These books were actually a gift.
00:48:46From your grandmother.
00:48:49Because she knows how much you love to read.
00:48:51And I also know that she's going to take very good care of you.
00:48:59And keep you safe.
00:49:00I'll always be here for you, Alice.
00:49:20Always.
00:49:21Always.
00:49:27Forget him.
00:49:28I'll let you in on a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit
00:49:58I don't know.
00:50:28I don't know.
00:50:58You must be Alice.

00:51:29You must be tired.

00:51:37Why don't we get you cleaned up and we'll get youcied?
00:51:42What?

00:51:52Why don't we get you plugged?
00:51:54Why don't we do the thing?
00:51:56Hello, John speaking.
00:52:18Yeah, I'll grab it for you.
00:52:23It's for you.
00:52:25It's a solicitor.
00:52:26Sally Morgan here.
00:52:39No, I did not know that.
00:52:47I'll wait to hear from you.
00:52:53What's going on?
00:52:54Agnes changed her will four months ago.
00:53:05In the case that June was unfit or unwilling to take care of the children, she named me as their guardian.
00:53:19Well, why would she do that?
00:53:26You barely knew her.
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:33I don't know.
00:53:33I don't know.
00:53:35I don't know.
00:53:48You're right.
00:53:50I don't know.
00:53:51I don't know.
00:53:55I don't know.
00:53:55I know it's all very strange and frightening right now, Alice.
00:54:13But you're safe here.
00:54:16And I promise
00:54:17I won't ever let anyone hurt you the way my son did.
00:54:25Good night.
00:54:55I knew you wouldn't be able to leave without her.
00:55:11I just promised I'd keep her safe.
00:55:16Can we do that, Twig?
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:47I don't know.
00:56:17I don't know.

00:57:47I don't know.
00:57:49I'm lost.
00:57:50How could you?
00:57:53Alice.
00:57:54Alice?
00:57:57I am not losing another child.
00:58:04Were you ever going to tell me?
00:58:06How could I?
00:58:07I've never felt like this about someone before.
00:58:19Are you part of it?
00:58:24There's plenty of time to tell her the rest.
00:58:27There's plenty of time.
00:58:35I don't know.
00:58:37I don't know.
00:58:39I don't know.
00:58:40I don't know.
