Episode 2 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door... Can you hear me? Miss?
What events lead Mo to attend Rosa's funeral?
Police say Mrs. Brennan was found hanging at her home this morning and is believed to have... Boom!
Someone's dead. Shhh!
Please. No, no, no. No, stop. Stop, stop.
Wake up. Mohammed, I can't sleep.
Bad dream?
Yeah.
Okay, come on. Was it the dragon? Next time, you tell him. I am the man of the house now. He talks to me. Okay?
Okay.
Good. Now sleep.
How does Elli convince Mo to help her with the investigation?
School tomorrow.
I can't sleep.
Wait. Someone told me, listen to whale sounds. It helps.
Whale sounds?
Hi, Mo.
I know who did it. Ellie. I tried to ignore her. I hoped she would just go away. But she showed up at breakfast.
What did you do to your sister? She said she wants to be a weir. Thanks, thanks. Okay, okay, too much.
Enough eggs, Mama. No, we have to finish the eggs.
Amna needs the box for her school project. Amna? Amna, please, Amna, be quiet. I'm here. Are you sick?
I'm fine.
You're getting skinnier, and what did you do to your hair?
What secrets does Mo hide from his family and friends?
Bismillah, you don't even look like my son anymore. And remember, you are picking your sister up. Don't forget, 3.30. 3.30, did you hear me?
Meet me at Kogan Leisure Centre.
Yo, you listen to me. Mo. 63! Back entrance tomorrow. Since Mo got a girl, he's forgotten all the mandem. Just leave me alone. All right, man, relax. We're only joking.
What do I do?
What's up with him, man?
She won't go away. But it's not just her. It's Rosa, too. I see her everywhere. She was there at breakfast, sitting across from Amna. Blue eyes, blue dress.
Hold on, one sec.
Even now, across the street.
You all right? Sorry, did I scare you? No, I'm not scared. OK, yo, I didn't mean to annoy you. I was just being silly. It's not you, Omar. So what? What is it? Trouble in paradise, is it? Trouble? Paradise? You know, your girl. What was her name again? Ellie. Ellie? Yeah. It must be her that's got you acting all weird. What? She ain't happy? What did you do? Nah, nothing.
I don't want to talk about it.
All right. Cool. We don't have to. I respect that. But you've got to talk to her.
What role does the Parnell family play in Rosa's death?
Rule number one, bro. Communication's key. Do you understand?
She won't listen.
Just try, bro. You know, more time while you think the problem ain't even a problem. Trust me, bro. I know women. Anyway, that's me, yeah? I'm out. But remember, rule number one. Yeah? Think about it. Cool. Oi, you lot. Yo, I'm gone, yeah? Peace.
New order requests.
Accept.
What? Cancel.
Hello?
Hello? Sorry, that was an accident.
Oh, I tried calling earlier.
Yeah, I've been working. I've got something to show you. Can we meet? I sent the address. You've got what?
Hey, hey, hey, stay off the edge, please.
You see that kid over there? Orange Drunks. The one those two girls with the floaties are laughing at. Watch. In a second, he's going to get out of the pool, grab his backpack, drink all his water, and swim back to the girls without saying a word. Look, look, there he goes. You asked to meet me. What? Why? To talk. You weren't answering my texts. I'm sorry, I've been... Working. Yeah, I know. Didn't think you'd come. I'm here, so we can talk. What is it? What year did you say you went to Royal Oak? Royal... Rosas, my old school. I think 2000... You must be 25 now, 24 maybe?
How does Mo's relationship with his mother affect his decisions?
24. Knew it. Knew what? You must have known Henry, Henry Parnell. Remember? Sorry, I... Come on, he was in your year, he took English too. Um, Henry... Oh, yes. Nice guy. I remember. Nice? I mean... Oh, look, look, look. Orange Trunks is on the move. Watch now. He's swimming back, right near the Mean Girls. Watch him. Circling them like a shark. Do you see it? See what? There is nothing? Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean nothing's happened. See the smile on his face? He's weeing on them. Oh, classic. I keep trying to tell his mum, but she won't have it. Ellie, tell me what you know, please. Read this. Do you need me to? I'm fine, thanks. I can read. A teenage robber was arrested last Tuesday after holding a man at knife point.
The victim, 62-year-old shopkeeper Abdul. What? What is this?
