- [TYSON] Neeks! Bring us up!
- [WINCH RATTLES]

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

Neeks, go! [GRUNTS] Neeks!

- [VAMPIRE GRUNTS]
- [TYSON] Oh, sh*t!

- [TYSON] Oh, no! No!
- [ROPE WHINES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Shanika.

[BIRD SCREECHES]

[GRUNTS]

Neeks?

We should make new weapons.

And go to the clinic -
get bandages, medicine -

for when we go back down.

We can't do that. You
nearly k*lled us both.

All right? That was stupid.

You know the rules!

What about Mum? We need to...

We got to think of ourselves,
is what we need to do.

She's gone. All right?
There's no saving her.

[ZIPS BAG]

[TYSON] You here to help with the renos?

Tyson.

[METALLIC CLINKING]

Shanika...

Yeah. What about her?

I, um...

Kitty?

I found her all banged
up and, um... I...

I had to call Welfare.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You are shittin' me.

[ENGINE REVS]

[ENGINE ROARS]

[MAN] Shanika will be
placed in a group home

unless you're prepared to cooperate.

[TYSON] Well, I'm here, aren't I?

The biggest concern we have

is Shanika hasn't been going to school.

Nah. I can explain
that. Her woman problems.

There's also concern about
her physical wellbeing.

Nah, I can explain that
too. OK? She's a clumsy kid.

Every time I take her roo
sh**t', she's down a hole.

- Tyson...
- She's up a tree.

Uh... she's around weapons?

And she handles the weapons?

She's not there to root spiders, mate.

Of course she handles the weapons. OK?

She's a cr*ck sh*t too. And
you wanna see her gut a pig.

Oh, Jesus. Listen, Tyson. She is a risk!

Nah, nah, nah. Richard, we are all good.

[RICHARD SIGHS]

We want to complete a parental plan:

home inspections, supervised visits,

no firearms,

dr*gs and alcohol testing.

You're not gonna get her back
unless you sharpen up, OK?

[SCOFFS LIGHTLY]

[BANGS TABLE]

[TYSON SIGHS]

Did you hear what I said?

I heard what you said.

And I'm not a f*ckin' idiot.

[BROODING ROCK MUSIC]

[FLAMES CRACKLE]

[WHISPERS] I got you.

[GLASS SMASHES]

[ENGINE ROARS]

[WOMAN] All right.

Let's say our prayers.

For what we're about to receive,

may the Lord make us truly grateful.

[SCOFFS]

[WOMAN] Everyone, eat.

[WOMAN] There a problem, Shanika?

I'm not hungry.

[WOMAN] Are you sick?

[SHANIKA] No.

[WOMAN] Do you have allergies?

No.

Then you can eat.

Drink.

I thought he k*lled
the last blood hunter.

These tunnels echo, idiot.

All it took was some boomerang
and a little girl in nappies!

We've begun cleaning up.

The losses were quite substantial.

We'll make more.

[MOUTHY VAMP] Piss weak.

[MOUTHY VAMP] You heard me.

There's been nothing but
deaths since you came here.

[FLESH SQUELCHES]

[GROANS]

Lucas.

Move her to my chamber.

[SHANIKA] What happened to my stuff?

[GIRL] They searched for
knives, razors, weapons.

They even confiscated a
library card from me once.

- Why?
- I can turn anything sharp.

They probably thought the same for you.

I got this in a fight.

Well, you can't smash in here.

The last girl that swung at
Jenny went straight to juvvie.

Thought this was juvvie.

[SNORTS]

This is the place
where they care for you.

You can borrow some of my clothes.

Nah. I won't be in here much longer.

Tyson will come get me tomorrow.

Lucky you.

And no sign of them at camp.

[TUTS] Are we just telling
everyone about suckers now?

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

You know he just lost
his brother and sister?

Yeah, well, we all lost people.

Maybe I should go find the
real blood hunter. Where is he?

He's dead.

They found him.

Neeks and I caught the
tail end of the show.

Oh, so you brought this young
girl into all this danger?

Yeah. I did, old man.

And that's none of your business, is it?

Hmm?

Well, this community is my business.

Tyson, we need protecting.

[TYSON] Yeah, well, I'll
be protecting the pub.

[SHANIKA] Piss off.

She's not gonna believe
a scrappy little gin

who thinks she's tough, huh?

She's OK.

- She's not OK!
- [SEB CHUCKLES]

[JENNY] Is there something
you want to share, Shanika?

Maybe Shanika wants to confess.

Another crazy black girl, huh?

Keep going. Come on!

[JENNY] All right. Settle down.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[JENNY] Everyone go do their chores.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

[JALINGBIRRI] Blood
hunters are fearless.

They put the safety of the
community above all else.

Above revenge.

[w*apon CLICKS]

[JALINGBIRRI] Above family.

Because above all else...

..vampires must be destroyed.

That... is the path of the blood hunter.

Self-sacrifice.

Loneliness.

And death.

[JALINGBIRRI] The thirst of
the colonisers is never-ending.

is a boomerang through
