Dropped him.
Oh, that was a stupid move. That uppered you up.
Argh!
Dropped him.
Yeah, that one. Yes, come on.
OK. Boom-boom.
You nearly had him, old man.
[Sighs]
Silly old blood hunter. [Sighs]
[Phone message alert trills]
What, you digging for China?
You won't need that big a hole. There's not much left of him.
Here.
I found that. Thought you might want it.
You wanna talk about it?
Nah.
Fine. We'll clean up, we'll bury him, then we'll take off.
Why?
Well, because if you look around, little girl,
someone gave our location away.
I'm not a little girl. And I'm not going with you.
-Why not? -Because.
I got no time for this teenage crap, Shanika.
You know I can tell when you lie to me.
Don't be stupid.
Is Mum dead?
-Look, we got no time... -Is she dead?
We gotta pack up and get outta here.
Tyson, I'm asking you a question!
I don't know, alright? I didn't see her die. There! OK?
Is she a bleeder? Who knows?
[Wind howls]
Yeah.
Now, are we good?
We good? Ssst!
Ohh! Oh-ho! Fuck!
[Groans]
Ahh!
[Door squeaks open]
Fuck!
Smokey!
Hey! What happened?
[Chatter in the background]
Stay here. I'll get you some water, OK?
[Man] Smokey said bad spirits did this.
Well, rum is a particularly bad spirit.
-It's made me do awful things. -What the fuck did you just say?
Ma'am, this is a crime scene.
Then do your job instead of being a racist dickhead.
I need you to leave.
Where's the dialysis machine?

I know you're a deadly shot,
but you gotta be smart about this, Neeks.
You mean smart like you?
Did you even pass first grade?
Oh. Big woman, big mouth now, huh?
I gotta know if Mum's down there!
We don't go down there, bub. Look where it got Jalingbirri.
At least he tried. What are you? A failed blood hunter?
Oi!
[Sparse music]
[Sighs]
[Sighs deeply]
Big rain comin' there. Look.
Yeah, that thunder gonna shake that country, and you watch...
..all those goannas that live underground there,
they're gonna wake up, they're gonna get real excited...
..'cause that rain has made the land come alive again.
Plenty to eat.
Ahhh.
Big rain comin'.
You know, Jalingbirri taught me that yarn.
You think it's easy buryin' someone you know?
Wouldn't know.
Jalingbirri taught me not to bottle that shit up.
[Sighs]
Alright, this is the truth, Neeks.
There's a King Vampire here in town
and we are sittin' ducks 'cause now they know where we live.
How do they know where we live?
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
And I need your help.
For what?
We're gonna catch a vampire, we're gonna ask him.
While we're at it, we'll see where they keep their bleeders,
if they got any, 'cause if you wanna go down there,
you gotta be sure.
Sorry about, um...
Oh, no, no, no, no. You're right, bub.
We're gonna need more weapons, though.
[Intense music]
[Bird caws]
I'm sorry, Smokey.
Sorry's not gonna bring Coralee back.
It's not gonna bring my brother back.
[Aunty Maria] I was always told not to tell.
I made up stories to keep the kids safe.
Worked for years, but...
[Smokey] No, don't. Don't give me that sacred story bullshit.
I seen it last night at the clinic.
In full fucking close-up.
Spirits or whatever.
They killed Coralee and they took her.
We've got no chance with these things, you know?
We'd best pack up now.
I'm leavin'.
Might as well say our goodbyes.
No. No, you can't go, Smokey.
We're gonna need fighters.
Blokes like you who are not afraid.
The right way or wrong way,
we've fought for too many years to save this country.
I'll be buggered if I'm giving up now.
I'm gonna go down swingin', my old friend,
and we need your help!
I don't care if I'm the first or the last.
I'm gonna stand up and fight them.

[Rock song plays inside]
Alright, so you tilt the glass, you pull on the tap
and not too much head.
Yep. Easy.
Most of 'em have just spent 12 hours mining,

the less they care about the head, so...

[Song ends]
Did you know that in vampire lore,
a King is the only one allowed to create new vampires?
I didn't know that about suckers.
I reckon a few of them would break the lore, though. I would.
These blood hunters are deadly.
I don't get it. Why'd you leave?
They're full of shit, that's why.
Don't look full of shit to me.
Yeah, well. Come on, let's get some sleep.
Why?
'Cause if we're gonna catch a vampire tomorrow,
we need to be on top of our game.
That blood hunter nonsense is a waste of time.
[Intense rock music]
So, it'll give us enough power to run the blood machine.
[Vampire King] It'll do for now.
Survivors of the wars will be coming from all over the country

You don't worry about that. Worry about me!

With all this Coralee stuff, I forgot to come out.
He left town.
Somebody...must have told people that he was with me.
Don't look at me.
Hmm!
Don't look at me like that.

You were alone and you were cryin'.
And they wanted me to leave you there.
But I couldn't do it.
I just... I dunno. I...
I couldn't leave you there, bub.
So I picked you up...
..and then I brought you here.
