[opening theme playing]
[indistinct chatter over PA]
- Got the tickets? - Right here.
Right.
Listen, this has my number programmed into it.
When you find somewhere to stay, give me a call.
Yes, Mum. Yep.
Just because the boundaries disappeared, doesn't mean you'll be safe in Melbourne.
Never been safe for me here, has it?
There might be others around, like Phil and Sarah.
Why do they keep coming for us?
Oh, will you two Nanas stop worrying? It's done and dusted.
Hey, Charlie, can you pop the bags on the bus, please?
- Sure. - [woman] Excuse me.
Don't you hog the window seat.
Listen, I... I've written on my statement
about how Pete got me to plant that t-shirt.
I'm gonna to send it to Homicide, ask them to reopen the case.
Try and get Kevin Brunner exonerated.
What's the point?
I wanna make it right.
It's too late.
Damage has been done.
[bus engine starting]
- [Charlie sighs] Ready? - Yeah.
Okay, last thing.
This should be enough for a place to stay and some food, all right?
Promise me you'll call me when you get there.
- Yeah. - Dress warm.
- Always carry an umbrella, all right? - [Kirstie] Bye.
[Charlie] See ya.
What's it like in the city?
Don't know, I got myself...
murdered before I could find out.
There's a thousand bucks here.
That's enough for a year.
Don't be stupid, it's like two months tops.
I thought you told Chris we'd be two days?
No matter what,
I'm never coming back to this shithole.
[Charlie sighs]
[bus horn honks]
I'm not gonna miss the freaks of Yoorana,
I can tell you that much for free.
[both chuckle]
[both laugh]
[Charlie] How do they build them so high?
Trust me,
it is gonna look even better from our five-star penthouse.
Look, I don't have any ID.
Sorry, I can't help you.
- Maybe we should go. - Where? We've tried everywhere else.
Can't you just take the cash?
All right. 150.
You gotta be kidding. That's double.
Two nights.
[Charlie] Thank you very much.
Enjoy your stay.
For 150 bucks,
it better have its own fucking spa.
[man] I told you, I didn't fuckin' take it.
- [woman] Fuck you! - [man] I didn't take it!
This isn't the penthouse, is it?
[both laugh]
I had it so planned out back then, you know?
Move to the city,
get a job as a waitress or in some bar
go out every night. Have a fucking life, finally.
So, is that what you're gonna do now?
Yeah. What's stopping me?
I'll be in the, ah, en suite.
Yeah.
[man] I fuckin' told ya! I didn't do it!
[man continues shouting indistinctly]
[police siren blaring in the distance]
[water dripping from faucet]
[sobbing]
- Kev? - I love you Kirstie.
You don't have to say that, you know. I'm still gonna sleep with you.
All right. Virgin to virgin.
You wanna do it?
[sobs]
Did you really mean it?
About never going back to Yoorana?
'Course I did.
What will I do in the city?
You could be a cop...
or a bus driver...
You wait.
We're gonna take this place by storm.
[phone ringing]
- [man from phone] Hello? - Where is Heysen?
[man] I can pass her anything you have to report.
William Blackburn...
put up a fight.
He's not just some civilian.
Someone else is helping him.
So who else might that be?
A local cop,
Sergeant James Hayes, he might know something.
[cleaner] Doctor.
- Hello? - We found something.
Sir...
[in Swedish] ...we have a problem.
We're going in here!
[soft music playing]
[tense music playing]
[man] Ready, Charlie?
Nah, nothing here I like. Let's go.
[Kirstie] Come on, go, go, go!
[Kirstie] Run! Come on!
[Charlie] Wait.
Why are we running?
Ta-da. Five-finger discount.
- You stole it. - It was overpriced anyway.
You gotta take it back.
No way. Wearing it to Blade tonight.
I don't think I wanna go.
Oh, shut up! You're goin' and you'll love it.
[tense music playing]
[groans]
[thud]
[suspenseful music playing]
[groans, grunts]
What the fuck!
- What are you doing here? - Phil!
- It's my house! - You're meant to be at work.
You're fucking paranoid.
[whimpering]
I took an early mark, all right?
Someone's coming for me.
Hmm? Could be you.
You're not making any sense, Phil. You know that?
[breathing heavily]
You owe people money.
Is that why you are laying low?
I did the wrong thing.
You're only human, right?
I broke the rules.
What rules?
What are you talking about?
Listen, mate...
I think you'd better go home.
I can't.
Well, Kath will take you back, she always does.
They could be at Kath's right now.
Who?
[scissors clank on floor]
[upbeat dance music playing]
[Charlie] Is this Blade?
I cannot believe I am actually here.
Bit of a dump!
I fucking love this song.
["You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" playing]
♪ You spin me right round, baby ♪
♪ Right round like a record, baby ♪
♪ Right round round round ♪
♪ You spin me right round, baby ♪
♪ Right round like a record, baby ♪
Stop it. Hey.
Stop.
- What's the problem? - People are watching. It could be...
dangerous.
[emcee] All right, my lovelies!
Tonight we're goin' all the way back to the eighties.
Some of us never left!
The time of big hair, big shoulder pads
and great drugs.
Are you ready?
[all cheering]
[emcee] All right.
Question one, which song gave Madonna a number one single
in 1989 in both the USA and the UK?
[Kirstie] "Crazy For You!"
- [crowd cheering] - [emcee] Yes! Second question!
[ominous music playing]
[man] Charlie, wait!
Not far now.
[man 2] Hello, fellas.
[man 2] Good one, Charlie.
It's him. He lured me here.
[grunting]
Fucking nancy boy.
[grunting]
[gasping]
[sobs]
[crowd cheering]
Bonus question. Are you ready?
As I'll ever be.
I'd say cast your mind back to the eighties
but lookin' at you, sweetheart, you've done less miles than my G-string.
You'd be surprised.
All right, finish the words of this famous eighties song.
"You in that dress, my thoughts, I confess...
verge on dirty."
♪ Come on Eileen ♪
♪ I swear what he means ♪
♪ That this moment ♪
♪ You mean everything ♪
All right! Kirstie, trivia superstar.
You won the bonus prize.
Don't put it all in your mouth at one time, okay, sweetheart?
- Did you see that? - Hey, can we go?
I've never won anything in my life.
I wanna leave, now.
No way! Go find a boy to pash.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Okay. Shit, wait up!
[Kirstie] I could have my own bar.
Eighties night every night of the week.
They'll be lining up.
New car, big house.
I'm starving. Are you fuckin' starving?
Maybe we could sell this.
[Charlie] What is this place?
[Charlie] Family Planning?
- What's that do? - Solves a problem, that's what.
[upbeat music playing]
- [Kirstie] Hello. - [man] Gidday.
Get out of here.
Oh, God. It's so hot.
It stinks.
What do you, uh, want me to do with your meat?
Oh, shit.
Kirstie.
[retching]
[Charlie] Excuse me.
[man] Oh.
It's not my birthday, is it?
I'm sorry?
You're in my room...
- handsome. - No, this is my room.
- I paid. Are you okay? - [man giggles]
I might need some help finding my abode.
I'll help you.
[Charlie] All right.
- Which are you? - This one.
My home studio.
- What do you think? - It's lovely.
[sighs]
You're a man.
Yeah. Well, not most people's idea of one.
Can you do me a favor?
I'm clearly drunk as a skunk.
[sighs] Can you, uh...
take these off for me?
[man] Careful.
Don't rip them.
They're my last pair.
You just, uh... undo the snap.
There.
I know.
I'm Raf, by the way.
Charles... Thompson.
But everyone calls me Charlie.
Charlie Thompson.
Where have you come from?
[Raf sighs]
Yoorana.
[Raf chuckles]
'Course you have.
I should... I should go.
[Raf] Bloody hell.
You look like an angel.
Did you know that?
It's the last thing I am.
Okay.
The meat smell is making me feel sick.
You all right?
I'm fuckin' pregnant.
Really?
How?
How do you think?
- No, but we died. - Yeah.
And you haven't... since we...
- Have you? - As if.
Must have been pregnant before.
So that means it's Kev's, yeah?
Of course it's Kev's!
Hey! Hold up!
I just wanna talk to you.
What I ever do to you, huh?
Fuck off, Pete Rennox. Ya prick.
You keep saying shit like that about me in this town,
- people might believe it. - Good.
Where do you think you're going?
Get off me!
Get away!
[front door closes]
[car engine starts]
[grunts]
- Get out of here or I'll fucking kill you. - Put it down.
- No way. - Beau!
[Beau whispers] Oh, shit.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
You killed Paddy.
It was Sarah Hayes.
She's not here now.
How? You kill her too?
She was already dead.
I'm back.
I wanna protect you all.
You? From what?
- Just... - No.
Who you calling?
James. Yeah. This is Beau.
Phil's at my house threatening me. Come as fast as you can.
[phone beeps]
He's comin' for you.
Stay back!
I mean it.
Fuck off!
[indistinct chatter]
[coughs]
[laughs]
[boy] Uh-oh.
[Phil] Don't worry, boys, you're not busted.
[boy] Shit. Oh, man.
- What do you want? - What I said.
To protect you all.
- We don't need your protection. - But you're gonna need it.
Why?
You got the day off school, have you?
I didn't feel like it.
You're gonna feel like going tomorrow?
What's the point of school?
Most people out here getting shot.
Turning into ash and shit.
You miss him, don't you?
Paddy?
He'd never fucking shut up.
I'm sorry, Beau.
You've had a rough trot.
I saw you, you know?
Doing some weird stuff with that policeman.
I needed to find out some things so I could do my job.
Anyway, I'm not doing that anymore.
How come?
[sighs] 'Cause none of that stuff feels important to me right now.
- And I want more for my life. - Like what?
You.
Your mum...
Kylie.
My family.
[tense music playing]
[voice mail] This is Beau. Phil's at my house threatening me.
Come as fast as you can.
The lava flow is the third natural disaster
to hit the continent this week.
With devastation still visible after hurricane Celia.
[James] Come. We need to go.
It's getting worse...
fast.
Phil's still alive. He's in Yoorana.
[woman from TV] Ash clouds from the volcano are disrupting...
[James] We need him.
...air travel and satellite communication.
I'm gonna call Phil and get him to meet us... Ow!
[sizzling, bang]
[car engine starts]
[Mark] Gidday, how's it goin'?
- Can I help you? - Yeah, I'm looking for a Sergeant Hayes.
Uh, he's on leave, but I'm the duty officer.
Right. I'm looking for some missing people.
- And your name is? - Paul Reid.
I'm a private investigator.
Right.
- Sorry, who'd you say sent you? - I'm looking for some locals.
Kirstie Darrow, Charlie Thompson, Kate Willis.
And someone hired you to find these people?
A concerned party.
I'm gonna need a name.
If you know where they are, I can put my employer's mind at ease.
Sure. But I'm gonna need a full statement from you.
My mistake.
Sorry to have wasted your time.
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - [Chris from phone] Kirstie.
- Are you guys all right...[static] - Hello?
- Where are you? - Chris?
Ah, City Vista Motel.
- [phone static] - What?
Look, I think it started again.
- Someone's come looking. - What?
Kirst...[phone static]
Kir... Can you hear me?
You're gonna have to come home.
Sorry, Chris. Bad line, I can't hear you.
[dial tone]
[dance music playing on phone]
[car engine starts]
[Chris] Don't go anywhere.
Don't open the door to anyone. Okay?
No, you need to see my family and tell them what you told us.
But you can't leave.
All right? You have to stay here.
There's a guy with a mangled ear looking for you.
If you see him, run.
Yeah, but if you just talk to them...
No one can know that you're here, okay?
It's a matter of life and death. Do you understand?
Don't let her out of your sight, okay?
I'll be back soon. I'm going to the city.
So where are these friends of yours supposed to stay?
The couch folds out,
and there's a spare set of sheets in the cupboard in the hallway.
Won't be long.
Wait, stop!
What's wrong?
You're gonna hurt yourself.
Couple of geniuses I am left with.
It's pasta night.
I hope one of you knows how to cook.
Thanks, but we're not staying.
Good.
Wait. Where are we going?
Home.
- They tie you up. - [Belle] They were just scared.
Maybe if I explain it to them like Chris did, then they'll see.
Do you wanna come?
Yes.
Okay.
Thanks.
I got something called breakfast burrito.
- And two coffees. - How much did you spend?
- Twenty-two dollars. - Shit, Charlie.
I bought this too.
Kirstie Darrow...
will you marry me?
What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm trying to help.
How's that supposed to help?
This is what I can do.
Raise the baby with you.
Get up.
I mean it. Get the fuck up.
We'll go back to Yoorana. I'll find a place to live.
I'll get a job.
It's not gonna happen.
- Why not? - 'Cause I don't want the baby.
I don't want it.
You won't be alone. I'll be with you.
I'm having an abortion. I'm not keeping it.
No, you can't do that. That's dangerous. You could die.
Jesus, Charlie.
Times have changed. You just take a pill, or something.
It's still an innocent life.
I don't even know who the father is, okay?
- That doesn't matter. - It matters to me.
The baby's done nothing wrong. You can't kill it.
You don't get it.
We've had a second chance at life.
- And you wanna be a murderer. - [chuckles]
After all we've been through.
I just want it to be over.
Why can't... it just...
be fucking over?
- You're being selfish. - Selfish?
This is a life
growing inside you. You can't take that away.
You fucking hypocrite.
You shot yourself in the head, remember?
[phone ringing]
- Hello? - [Chris from phone] Charlie, listen.
- I'm coming to get you. - Not now, Chris.
- [Charlie] Kirstie... - Watch it!
Shit.
Sorry.
Fight with your girlfriend?
She's... she's not my girlfriend.
You're bleeding.
- Hey. Bubba. - Bubba.
All right. Bubba.
Okay. Bubba
- What the hell are you doing here? - Mum.
Beau, can you put Kylie down for me, please? Give us a sec.
Yeah.
- I'm really sorry. - I don't wanna hear it!
- I don't wanna hear this! - I don't blame you for being mad.
Oh, well, that's a relief.
- Look, I just... I just wanna explain. - Yeah?
Explain what you were doing at Noregard with that woman?
I was on a job.
- A job? - Yes. Just personal security.
I wanted to make some cash to pay you back for everything.
[laughs] This smells like bullshit.
Look, I know I've been a shit husband.
Okay, I get it.
You heard about the money from the Fitzgeralds, didn't you?
No.
And now you think you're gonna get a free ride.
Money? No, I don't care about any money.
Get out of my house.
Kath...
Well, what happened?
He bought me lunch.
He cleaned up. He even cleaned the bathroom.
- I thought I told you to leave. - Just fixing the door.
I asked you to fix that months ago. What's the rush all the sudden?
Look, one thing I learned,
none of this is gonna last forever
so I better go after what I want while I can.
- What is it that you want, Phil? - You.
Okay? Our family.
Although I know I don't deserve you.
I know that.
Just whatever you need...
tell me.
I'm not going anywhere.
You should really see a proper doctor.
I'm all right.
So you gonna tell me what happened?
Mm.
Mysterious.
[chuckles] Okay.
You're gonna have a sexy scar there, I reckon.
Those fairies sure seem to like you.
They're disgusting.
[Arthur] Next time...
get your hands dirty.
[gasps]
I'm sorry.
What for?
I don't wanna hurt you.
W... Were you planning on it?
I hurt people.
Yeah, well, we've all done that.
No, I mean...
I mean, punching, kicking...
really hurting...
people like you.
Like me.
Why'd you do it?
[clumsy voice] I was scared. I didn't want it to be me.
I was... I was afraid.
And I was a coward.
I should... I should go find Kirstie.
Wait.
I know it might be hard to believe...
but I grew up in a small town, too.
I know what it feels like to be...
fucking afraid...
to have to hide.
[inhales]
[Kirstie] Hi.
I wanna see a doctor.
Have an abortion.
We have an appointment for you next week.
No, next week. I can't wait that long.
- Is it an emergency? - Yes.
- What kind? - What?
What kind of emergency?
I don't know. I just want an abortion today.
- We're fully booked today. - You said if it was an emergency...
I'll just need your Medicare Card.
I don't have a Medicare Card.
You can have a procedure without it.
You just need to pay the full price out of pocket.
- Okay. How much? - It's $580.
[sighs] I have $364.50.
So what do I do?
The procedure costs $580.
Right, I heard you the first time.
[receptionist] Can I make you an appointment for next week?
Fuck!
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
No, no. It's all right. Let me see if we can sort something out.
I'm the counselor here.
Let me start by saying you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.
Great. Can we just get on with it then?
But it would help me to know you're making an informed decision.
I'm pregnant. I don't wanna be.
How much more informed do I need to be?
Your date of birth. For the file.
[sighs] Thirteenth of May.
I'm 19.
Are you currently in a relationship?
No.
Were you in a relationship when you conceived?
Yes.
But...
not with...
fuck, I don't know.
Do you know who the father is?
Does it matter?
Usually it does.
Does the father know you're pregnant?
No fucking way that I'm telling that asshole anything.
Kirstie, if there's been abuse of any...
That is none of your business.
The pregnancy could be used as evidence.
- Jesus. - I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to sound cruel. I'm just saying...
I thought that killing it was bad and you want to put it in an evidence bag?
We don't have to tell the police if you don't want to.
[laughs]
They already know.
- And? - And I don't want to talk to them.
Did this man hurt you, Kirstie?
I wasn't the only one.
Who else?
He did it to my best friend first.
Did what, exactly?
I tried to stop him, but...
then he got to me too and the whole town worshiped him anyway.
- He did an awful thing. - [Kirstie exhales]
A criminal thing.
You say the police got to him?
No. I did.
In the end, I... [sniffles]
...made him look me in the fucking eye and see that I'm still here.
And how did that make you feel?
Did that help?
[crying] I thought it would.
But it didn't.
[sobbing] He's forgotten.
But I can't, you know. I just can't.
Because it's inside of me. And it's...
Sometimes I just wanna burn my skin off.
He raped me and this baby could be his.
[sobbing]
So how am I supposed to ever love it?
I would rather kill it than try and love it.
You know, people live with terrible damage.
He took my whole life away from me just like that.
Like I was nothing.
Like I didn't matter at all.
But you're here now.
You survived.
[sobbing]
And what you do next is entirely up to you.
Charlie, Kirstie, it's... it's Chris.
- Charlie! - [door opens]
Charlie. Is Kirstie here?
- Who's he? - [Charlie] Raf.
He's a friend.
There's... There's someone looking for you.
Could be others.
What's going on? Are... Are you in trouble?
- Is Kirstie with you? - She left.
We had a fight.
We gotta find her.
There's this. She could be here.
Oh.
Or she might have gone back to Blade.
- What the hell's Blade? - It's a bar that she likes.
Okay, you go to the bar. I'll check this place out.
We will meet back here, okay?
Okay.
I'll tell them that you rescued me from the fire
and that I'm not some horrible demon. I'm still me, Belle.
No time. Gates of Hell close soon.
If spirit not set free, we trapped here.
No, Judith will listen to me. I know she will.
- Mum, Dad! - Stop!
[car engine starts]
What'd you do that for?
We missed them.
- [Chi] Where you going? - To find Judith.
[Belle] Judith?
This is our old school here.
All the kids from my church, all my...
friends, they've all gone.
This is where I used to sit.
Me and Phoebe used to sit together here.
But we talked too much so we got separated.
[tense music playing]
[in Cantonese] Many weeks, by boat, to get to the New Gold Mountain.
It rises high in the sky, higher than the clouds...
and shines like the sun.
Can I come too?
When I have enough money,
I will buy the most beautiful costumes,
build the biggest stage in the world.
Would you like to see that?
You and your mother will come and join me there...
We'll be together.
I promise.
[Belle in English] Then I woke up and they just weren't there.
Hey, wait. Where are you going?
Wife, son. I bring to Yoorana.
That was such a long time ago.
Maybe they come back. Like us.
We would have seen them at the cemetery.
I not look then. We look now.
[Luke] Belle!
[Belle] Oh, no. It's Luke.
[Luke] Mum!
[tense music playing]
What happened there?
Uh, Professor Heysen.
She's running some tests on me.
On you? What for?
She thought something special happened to me on the oil rig.
Well, did it?
Yes.
But not in the way she thought.
Okay, that's as clear as mud.
I figured out my purpose.
And it's this family.
[baby crying]
- I'll go get her. - No, no. You stay.
Oh, oh, oh. Here, look.
Do you want? Shh. Here.
Shh.
I can take her.
You sure?
- She's done a big shit. - Yeah, I can handle it.
Hey.
- [baby moanings] - Hey.
[Beau] Oh, we need more wipes.
[Phil] Here we go.
Oh, someone had a big lunch.
[crying]
[Phil] Oh, it's all right. It's all right. Yeah.
[whispering] There we go.
There we go.
Yeah. Yeah, that's better, isn't it?
That's better.
[normal voice] Are you checking up on me?
Just wanted to witness the miracle.
- [baby coos] - She's the miracle.
She's perfect.
You're just noticing that now?
[Phil chuckles]
She's got your smile.
Nah, I got teeth.
You were smiling at me when we first met at that party...
at Cam's house, remember?
No, I wasn't smiling at you.
I was laughing at you.
Because you were such a shit dancer.
- I was just trying to impress you. - [chuckles]
- Well, it didn't work. - Didn't it?
I'm gonna teach you to dance just like your dad.
- [baby coos] - Yeah.
So don't you worry.
So, is that cop your father, or what?
Chris?
[chuckles] No. No, he's just helping us out.
I'm not stupid.
That's a bullet wound in your shoulder.
What the fuck is going on?
I don't want to get you involved in any of this.
It's a bit late.
Help! You gotta help me!
It's my father. I think he's just had a heart attack.
- He's in the van. Thank God. - I... I know CPR, but...
Have you called an ambulance?
Hey, get off me!
Want me to break it? Want me to fuckin' break it?
- It won't take much. - Let him go.
As soon as you get in that van.
- The fuck? - Please, you're hurting him.
[grunting]
[Charlie] Get Chris!
[car horns honking]
So wipes, nappies. Anything else?
Eggs, bread...
milk and tea bags.
You gonna remember all that?
How could I forget?
[gasps]
[panting]
[Phil] Kate! I need to talk to you!
Kate, stop!
- Stay back, asshole! - I'm not gonna hurt you!
Bullshit!
If I wanted to hurt you, you'd be dead by now.
What do you want?
- Kate, listen to me. - [Kate panting]
You're perfectly safe.
I could slit your artery right now and you'd bleed to death in seconds.
- You know that, right? - I know.
- Don't you move a muscle. - I won't.
I just want to help you.
- What? - I want to help you stay alive.
Why?
Because that way I can stay alive.
Oh, what the fuck?
Get up!
Where are we going?
To see James.
You can explain everything to him.
Move.
Hey!
You okay?
Got an appointment tomorrow.
Oh, shit.
I just have to accept it.
- Do what needs to be done. - Yeah.
Move on.
Listen, um...
there's another one.
- He's coming for you. - [scoffs]
[Chris] Look, we'll... We'll figure something out.
