Elishia!
Hello.
It's William, isn't it?
Mate, you can't stay here.
- Come back to my place... - Elishia is gone.
I have no purpose here anymore.
Okay. C'mon.
Come with me. Get in the car, hey?
Are you all right?
She... She's still here.
Mate, when's the last time you had something to eat?
Or, or drink?
- C'mon, let's go... - I saw her!
- Elishia is here somewhere. - All right.
James asked me to look after you guys, and that's what I'm gonna do...
- So, come with me... - I have to find her!
Do not try and stop me.
William...
William!
Shit!
My God!
Is he alive? Are you okay?
Is he dead?
- Oh! - Shit, shit!
- I thought you killed him.
Can you stand?
- No. - Oh!
I'm all right.
Oh, my God.
Shit!
It was you.
I saw you.
If you saw us why the hell did you back into the road?
Isha, stop it. Stop it. I'm just so sorry. I tried to swerve.
You're lucky you're alive. What were you thinking?
Isha, shut up!
You're not Elishia.
No. My name's Millie.
Then why did I see you?
I think he hit his head.
You were with me in the city...
and the lights.
Yeah. The... The city, that's where we're going.
- Oh, my God. He's bleeding. - Can we get off the road, please?
Do you have a car somewhere?
There's a servo down the road. I just...
Maybe we should take you to get cleaned up, okay?
I saw something that hasn't happened yet.
- In the future. - He needs some water.
I'm searching for concussion.
How's your vision? Have you got a headache?
Do you want a mint?
Are you nauseous or dizzy?
Come on. We will take you to the servo. Yeah.
Um, you can get in our car.
- Oh! Ah!
Don't get blood on me!
Sorry, I'm returning this on Monday.
Can you walk?
Do you think he's homeless?
Dunno.
He's definitely on the spectrum.
Do you recognize this?
Uh, it's the Melbourne Star.
- This is what I saw. - You paying for his sanger?
Uh, yes, sure. And the postcard. Thank you.
What's your name?
William Blackburn.
This is Isha and Sophie.
Is this where you work? Noregard?
No. I took that.
Okay.
Do you want to change into this?
It was my fiancée's.
He's chucking it. It was going to the Salvos.
- Shit! What happened to your back? - Sophie!
Are you a doctor?
No. God, no. I'm a physicist.
You know, science?
You're a scientist?
Like Elishia?
Who is Elishia?
A friend?
Colleague?
Isha and I, we work together.
Um, Sophie's an old mate. We went to the same school.
Where you from?
Yoorana.
Do you have family there? Someone who could come and get you?
No, they're all gone.
Where were you going?
I wanna go here.
Okay. We'll give you a lift.
There's something not right about him.
Yeah, I, I saw a movie where a guy tricked people into picking him up,
then he butchered them.
He's not a psycho, he's just kinda... sad.
He's sexy.
Those marks on his back?
I mean, do you think he likes it rough? 'Cause I'm up for whatever!
- My God. - This was supposed to be a fun night out.
We're not running a taxi for crazy people.
I almost killed him. The least I can do is give him a lift.
We're from Canberra. Larnaca.
We're spending the weekend in town because Millie got a new job,
and we're celebrating! Yoo-hoo!
But it's in Chicago, which sucks.
- How's Adam taking it? - He's not.
You could always stay put.
I mean, if I was engaged to Adam, we'd never leave the house.
You should see his abs.
Are you okay, William?
Yes.
Thank you for transporting me.
This is my favorite view of the city.
I never get sick of it.
This is where I need to be.
Gidday.
I'm looking for some people.
Friends of mine.
Might have stopped by here.
Have you seen 'em?
No, I just started my shift.
Sorry, mate.
Mate, I need a favor.
Can you run an ANPR check for me on this rego, see if it pings anywhere?
P, Papa. V, Victor. L, Lima.
Three, zero, seven.
Copy that.
It's closed. You can't get up there 'til morning.
No, it was somewhere else.
Up high, looking across.
You were there with me.
I don't know why.
You should know I have pepper spray in my bag.
And if you're like a lunatic or something, I will use it.
And I have a fiancée, so this isn't going anywhere
if that's what you were thinking.
I understand.
I have no intentions.
You really are not like other guys.
Do you have any friends in town? Does Elishia live here?
Elishia is dead.
God, I'm so sorry.
When did she...
A few days ago.
Oh, shit.
- I'm sorry. I...
Millie!
I kinda have to go.
I have to stay with you.
Okay. Come have a drink.
Owen?
Yeah, around the back.
I must have dozed off.
I think we drove over a nail or something.
Oh.
Do you want help changing it?
You have got a spare tire, right?
- It's flat too. - Are you serious?
I've been meaning to swap it for ages.
Um...
well, I guess we gotta call roadside assistance.
I think there's a number on the windscreen. Can you read it out?
Yeah.
Uh, 1-800-160-401.
There's no signal.
We're in a dead spot.
Well, I guess we wait for someone to drive past.
We passed a pub about five minutes ago.
We can call from there.
- Sounds good to me. - Yeah?
Could use a beer.
Yes, I could. Yes, I could.
Beer sounds bloody great.
Sorry. I thought it was open.
Well, there's a Ute here. Someone's gotta be around.
You don't wanna just hitch to the next town?
We're here. We might as well ask.
- Hi! - Hey!
Um, sorry to bother you, but, um, we've got a flat tire
and our phone's got no signal
so we're wondering if we could borrow your landline.
Uh, yeah. I... I don't actually have one right now.
Uh... I've got some spare tires out the back.
Why don't you come in and have a look?
Okay.
Excuse the mess, I'm renovating.
So, what are you driving?
- Land Cruiser Ute. - All right.
I'll just go and check. Back in a second.
It's one of your mates.
Oh, yeah, it's dodgy work.
- Ears look like shit. - Do they?
Sorry, guys. I got nothing for ya.
Thanks for looking.
Um, you wouldn't be able to give us a lift somewhere, would you?
Um... yeah, I would. But I'm... I'm actually waiting on a plumber
and I don't wanna miss him.
Uh, will it be long? Maybe we can wait.
Yeah, of course. No worries.
- Your phone's on flight mode. - What?
- Look! - Oh, shit! I...
- I didn't wanna wake you before. - Two bars.
We can probably call roadside assistance with that.
All right, cool. I'll give em a buzz.
Reception's better outside.
- Ah, thanks. Right. Won't be a sec. - Uh-huh.
Uh, relax. Can I get you a drink?
Oh, we won't be long here, but thanks.
I've got cold beers in the fridge.
- Oh, nah. - Okay.
So where you guys from, anyway?
Ah, Yoorana.
- Ah. - Mm-hm.
Going to?
Adelaide.
Ah.
City of Churches.
Mm-hm.
Are you guys an item?
Yeah.
Mm-hm.
Why?
Just making conversation.
Oh, right.
You know, I'm just gonna go, um, see if he needs...
No, just sit... sit down. Relax.
- Um, you know what? We really... - Look, Adelaide's not going anywhere.
And it's shit anyway.
Can you just move a sec, please?
Where are you going?
Are they coming?
Yeah. About an hour and a half.
Oh. Well, sit down, I'll grab us some beers.
We're going. Thanks.
- Why? - Let's go.
What... What's the problem?
- I thought you wanted a beer. - Just...
Let's get to the car.
Kate, get back inside!
How do you know my name?
Owen...
- Grab her!
No!
- Stop! - Get her inside!
Owen, what are you doing?
Relax, it's okay. It's okay.
- Calm down! - Don't hurt her!
- Hey! - What the fuck are you doing?
- Get some flex, I'll tie her up. - We're not gonna tie her up.
Okay? We agreed.
Agreed to what?
Stop struggling, Kate.
- Let me explain. - What the fuck?
I'll tell you everything. Okay?
Get her a drink.
- I don't want a fucking drink. - Okay.
Kate.
Okay.
Okay, Kate...
Kate, I need your help.
Kate!
- I told you to tie her up! - Shut up!
Kate, Kate, I am not gonna hurt you. Just...
You're gonna have to hurt me if you wanna keep me here.
Please, let me explain. Okay?
Please.
Amy's dying.
- Who the fuck is Amy? - She's my sister.
And she's got breast cancer, stage four.
The doctors have given up on her, but I haven't.
And... there's this clinic in the States, they do these experimental
blood transfusions, but...
I can't get a visa. It's like a hundred grand.
Kate, I lost both my parents to cancer, I can't lose her too.
So I thought maybe...
Maybe you can help her.
Maybe you can save her life.
How, Owen?
You came back...
from the dead without cancer.
You... You said your cells regenerated
and... and maybe whatever did that is... is in your blood
and it could regenerate her immune system.
- Are you serious? - I... I know it sounds crazy.
But I'm out of options.
- Oh, Jesus, Owen. - No, please.
Please, Kate. I'm begging you.
Why didn't you just ask me?
Bringing me here and holding me like a bloody hostage.
Because I thought you'd say no and I'd never see you again.
Sh... She doesn't have much time.
And if I still say no, you're gonna take my blood by force?
If we have to.
- And who... who is this? - This is Robbie. He's just a mate.
We met inside.
But I'm back on my feet, now. This is my pub.
Oh, that's great.
Hey, please. Please!
- Please, help her. - Jesus, Owen!
If I do this...
you'll let me go?
I... I swear...
I swear, as soon as it's done.
I promise.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Bring her here.
Thanks you so... Thank you so much.
Are you gonna call her?
Yeah.
Ah.
You already did call her. Okay.
That wasn't roadside assistance. Okay.
Stupid.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah, no you're not.
You're not.
He said you're a nurse. So you know what you're doing?
- Yeah. - Well, get on with it, then.
Don't talk to her like that.
How do you even know if we're the same blood type?
It was on your medical records.
Let's get ready.
♪ I'll forgive, woo! And forget ♪
♪ If you say you'll never know ♪
♪ But it's true... ♪
I can't believe you've never been to karaoke.
She's very loud.
That's just Sophie. Give her an anthem and there's no stopping her.
Captain William Blackburn.
I've come to minister the sacrament of penance.
To free you from your sins.
To reconcile you with God before you pass into his care.
Death will not absolve your sins, William.
You need to confess before God.
I have nothing to confess.
How is this possible?
Did you do that?
How?
Who are you?
What are you?
I was captain of the Hegarty...
when it ran aground.
It splintered and shattered.
And we were swallowed up by the black water.
I drowned.
And then I came back from the dead.
That's impossible.
The only man who has returned from the dead
was our Lord Jesus Christ.
And yet here I am.
Back with purpose.
Are you some kind of angel?
Those are just stories for children.
I am no creature of God.
William?
I know what I am.
I died and came back like Phil.
Like Vic and Sarah.
But if I came back like them, I must have a purpose like them.
William, are you all right?
You don't look too good.
Is everything all right?
William?
Look.
Oh, my God.
You two okay?
I just saw it with my own eyes.
What?
We saw water suspended in the air.
That's the martinis talking.
I saw it too.
What's going on here?
Just Millie and her theories again.
What did you know of this?
My new job's at Fermilab.
Experimental physics.
There's a lot of data coming in that we can't explain.
Things like this.
Seriously, those YouTube videos are faked.
And the rest of it is probably down to climate change
- Yeah. - No, it isn't.
The universe is expanding all the time,
ever since the Big Bang, rippling outwards accelerating,
except it can't do that forever.
Eventually it will tear.
There's some of us that believe that that process has just begun.
- All the evidence is anecdotal. - I just saw it with my own eyes.
It all started with that lead electromagnetic spike three weeks ago,
and there was a second one this week.
And since then,
there been GPS going haywire,
gravitational anomalies.
Basic physics, the rules of the universe are being undone.
It's happening fast.
Can we go? I want cocktails fast.
Yep! Come on!
Bye, Will! You should call yourself that.
It's way hotter. William makes you sound like a grandad.
See ya.
I should go. Will you be okay?
You cannot leave, I need to know more.
- I know what happened three weeks ago. - I really need to go.
It was really nice to meet you. I'm sorry I nearly killed you.
Millie, come on!
You're not his babysitter. Come on.
I need cocktails.
Oh, God he's following us. This is getting creepy now.
Millie, come on.
Millie? Come on.
- Should we call the police? - Don't be dramatic.
Millie, do you have the car keys?
- We've been drinking. - It's just around the corner.
So walk.
William Blackburn.
Who are you?
I'm here to take you back to your friends.
Charlie, Kirstie, and Kate, mate.
They need your help.
Come on. Get in.
Get out of my way.
Oh my God!
Oh, my God!
Wait! What are you doing?
- I need to stop this! - Millie! Leave him!
Stop it!
Get off of him.
William, stop it!
- Oh, God!
William! Stop!
Enough. Enough!
Stop! We need to leave!
- Now!
What the fuck just happened? Who was that guy?
I don't know.
What did he say to you? Did he want money?
- He wanted me to go with him. - Why?
He thinks I'm of value.
- We need to go to the police! - No!
- No police. - But he attacked you.
Hi.
No, I'm okay. Isha, calm down. I'm okay.
This is a simple five-minute breath relaxation,
ideal to use at any time
throughout the busy day.
Close your eyes and allow my voice to be your guide.
The aspiration is to soothe the body
and calm the mind.
Go get some chewy?
- What's that? - Chewing gum, at the counter.
Hi. Chewing gum.
I, ah, didn't know which one to get.
Doesn't matter. Come on.
So, how are you? Was the drive okay?
Oh, I've had better road trips.
I want you to meet someone.
Kate, this is my sister Amy.
- Hi. - Owen's told me all about you.
- Hm. - You look well.
Yeah, she is.
See, I told you I wasn't crazy.
And this is Gary. He's a mate.
And you had breast cancer too?
- Yeah. - Yeah, she beat it.
You guys are a match, so transfusion's worth a try, yeah?
Thank you for offering to do this.
So, do you want a drink of something? Maybe water?
Beer?
I think we should go on with this.
Kate used to be a nurse. So she's in charge.
I'm glad someone knows what they're doing.
- I've been reading about how to do this... - Yeah, I got this.
Well, you might need some help.
I'll let you know if I want some help. Can you both leave? Thanks.
And you?
- All right.
- Did you just have a fight? - Yeah.
Owen has trouble getting close to people.
Letting his defenses down.
I know he's not perfect, but his heart is in the right spot, I promise you.
Well, he loves you.
That's pretty obvious.
He's pretty keen on you too.
We watched both our parents suffer through this.
That's why I kept it secret for a long time.
Can you just make a fist?
You might have trouble with that, it's a bit of a pin cushion.
Nah, you're doin' fine.
Is it true what Owen said?
You died and came back?
Whatever he told you...
I don't have miracle blood.
What's happening to you and I are two completely different things.
I just...
I don't want you
to get your hopes up.
I'm not doing this for me.
I have to let him try.
All right, just relax.
It's okay. I'm here.
When I was kid...
there was this moment, I remember it so clearly.
I realized I was gonna die one day.
I remember the wave of panic.
I...
I felt literally sick.
And it's something that everyone
realizes but no one...
talks about because it's just so confronting.
Mm.
I fought...
so hard...
for this thing. This... This life.
But I don't think I can do it anymore.
I'm just so tired.
I'm just trying not to be scared.
Do you think there's somewhere where we go when we die?
That this is not just the end?
I don't know.
You know, um...
...there will be no more treatment
and no more pain.
Will you be there for him?
When I'm gone?
Sure.
You know...
when it happens...
you'll be okay.
You'll let go
and be free.
How is she?
She's tired. Let's let her rest.
Cut it out.
Well, I did what you asked. I'm gonna go now.
I have to wait until Amy is safe enough to travel.
All right, I'll go on my own. Can I have the keys?
Well, what about the tire?
Shit.
- Right.
- Can you stop fucking doing that? - Are you deaf?
- Well... I need proof. - God!
- Of what? - Her story.
- No, I told you this is just between us. - Look...
- Excuse me? - She's a freak.
We can make a fortune by selling her.
Okay, don't listen to them, that's not what's happening here.
Maybe it is.
Hey, leave her alone.
Give me that back.
We're not gonna hurt her, but what's the point keeping this quiet?
- She'd be worth a fortune. - I said no!
You are not selling me.
Sorry, babe,
but you are not leaving.
So why don't you sit yourself down and I'll grab you a beer?
No! Don't you touch me!
I said sit. Back off!
Look, you got your blood. Why do you care?
We are going to sell her.
- You can't sell a person! - You never heard of the Dark Net?
You can buy or sell anything you want, mate.
Drugs, weapons, ammo, freaks!
Someone out there will wanna study her.
No fucking way!
Well, I'm sorry, babe. You don't get a say in this.
No one is gonna buy me, guys.
This is fucking insane. Are you listening to yourselves?
What if I had a better idea?
- You got a laptop? - Why?
Because I know a company that'll be interested.
You can approach 'em direct. There'd be no data trail.
I'll show you the website.
Noregard. They have a facility in Yoorana.
Kate...
And how do you spell that? "No regard"?
Go.
Ah!
Get to the truck!
I'll get help!
Stop!
Get out, now!
Hello? Police and ambulance?
Adam will freak if he hears I brought you back here.
And Sophie's got a big mouth.
I don't understand.
He's possessive.
He doesn't want me moving to Chicago.
He'd prefer I stay in Canberra and have babies.
He wants me to choose.
Well, at least you have a choice.
What we saw tonight is proof.
Something is happening and it needs to be studied and understood.
It's bigger than me. Bigger than just my relationship.
So why is this happening?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
Have you ever heard of dark matter?
No.
It's this invisible force that bonds all matter.
It's kind of in everything, in between everything,
binding the universe together.
Well, there is a theory
that a form of energy called quintessence is driving the expansion of the universe.
And we think that works against dark matter.
The basic laws we've identified, like gravity and relativity, will unravel.
All matter will be torn apart.
People, planets, subatomic particles, even space-time itself.
The Great Rip.
And the world will cease to exist.
Not just our world. Everything.
The entire universe will be torn apart.
This is what I saw.
The future.
Oh, my God.
This is insane.
It's begun.
William?
Here it is.
Your final request.
God's canopy.
William, there may still be a way to stop your execution.
- I can intervene on your behalf. - Why would you do that?
- You said you were innocent... - I must not be saved.
No one is truly lost.
We are born, we live and we die in that order. I broke the rules.
- You can be forgiven... - No!
Because of me, this world will be torn apart.
You are not an angel.
You are the harbinger.
You call me what you will...
but tomorrow I will hang
and this world will be saved.
Take this man inside.
It's happening again.
Because Elishia brought us back.
I have to put things right.
I have to stop what's coming.
Stop what?
The end of everything.
- Hi. - Are you okay there?
Uh, do you have a phone that I can borrow, please?
- Hello? - James?
James, it's me. It's Kate.
Where are you?
I don't know.
I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere. I don't know.
I... Owen's been shot.
I think Owen's dead. And his friends... I think his friends are after me.
- I don't know what the fuck is going on. - Kate, it's okay. It's okay.
Calm down.
Listen to my voice.
Okay.
Do you have a car?
No.
Okay. That's okay. I need you to hitch a ride into Yoorana.
Go to the lake house, and I'm going to meet you there.
Okay.
Kate...
It's gonna be okay.
I'm gonna take care of everything.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thanks.
You going near Yoorana?
- Yeah. You want a ride? - Yeah.
What are you doing on the highway?
I have to get back to Yoorana.
All right. I'll give you a lift.
Why have you returned?
Just some unfinished business.
Hop in.
Where is your child?
She's in Tasmania with my parents.
So you left her?
No, not for long. Just some things I need to do.
You've injured yourself.
Yeah, that's nothing.
Get in the car.
That was a test.
I know what you are.
I am the same.
Vic, Phil, and Sarah. They were right all along.
Everyone who came back...
has to die.
Come on.
