Neeks?

Neeks!

What now?

Come here, look.

I'm doing my history assignment.

Hey, true history happenin' right here.

What are you lookin' at?

Satellite.

Nah, nah, nah. Come here. Look.

[Groans]

What?

[Tyson groans]

There. Look there.

See? But look wider.

See that dark emu?

Don't look at the stars. Look at
the dark space around the star.

There. You see him?

He's beautiful.

[Tyson sighs]

Our mob have been lookin'
at that for , years.

Hey, you know what,

some white fella comes along
and calls it negative space.

Nah.

Nothin' negative about that.

Nothin' negative about being dark.

Hey, you know what they should call it?

Tyson Walker space.

Ask me why.

- Why?
- 'Cause I'm dark and deadly.

- [Laughs]
- There? See, you're laughin'.

That's a dad joke.

Hey, look out. She finally calls me Dad.

Thank you, daughter.

Oh, that bloody sucker got me!

You're the one that got
too close to his fangs.

Yeah, I'm the one that
staked him good too, OK?

- Where were you?
- You told me to stay back.

You sure it's not a firebite?

Neeks, don't even say that.

Do you know what to do with a firebite?

I'm not talkin' about a
scratch like this here, bub.

I'm talkin' about a firebite
that turns you into a sucker.

All right? Hurts like hell.

Your blood's boilin',
you're lost forever.

I never want that to
happen to me. You hear me?

I never want that to happen
to me. I'd rather die.

So you don't hesitate,

you don't ask any questions,
you don't muck around.

Stake straight through the heart.

Even if it's me, bub.

Hero's life, Neeks. You've
gotta make those tough decisions.

You get me?

k*ll a firebite fast. I got it.

Yeah.

See, you're like me: dark and deadly.

Here. Pound it.

- No.
- Come on!

- Nuh.
- Pound it!

[Clicks tongue]

Dolphin!

Yeah. [Laughs]

[Dramatic music]

[Chains rattle]

[Eleona] Hey. Shh, shh. It's all right.

It's all right. Shhh!

Shh, shh. I'm here. I'm here.

I'm here. I know.

Listen... Listen to my voice, all right?

You trust me, you trust my voice.

The darkness is going
through your veins like fire

and it is burning up your
humanity and your memories,

and it hurts now, but it
will not last forever, OK?

Don't fight it.

Those memories will
come back in a few years,

so no need to fight it now.

All right? You can trust me.
I'm gonna take care of you.

It's all right. Shhh.

[Lucas] It's all I could salvage.

Hold still, hold still. Tyson.

It's uncomfortable, isn't it?

Yeah. Here we go. There we go.

[Tyson grunts forcefully]

Well, this is perfect.

[Music plays nearby]

Hey, El, not working at the bar today.

No, Razz. Listen.

I got these opals.

I need to change them for
cash so I can rent a room.

I got a heap more. How much do
you reckon I can get for these?

Jeez.

If they're all like that,
you could buy the whole place.

[Weakly] Give me blood.

Where'd she take Tyson?

- Blood.
- No!

- Please?
- Tell me where she would go!

Where would she go?

[Rock music]

This all we got?

That'll do.

It's only a few of us
left, so we gotta be ready.

How's Rona?

Left Smokey to watch her.

It's gonna be a long road, but...

They're making her comfortable.

Can't imagine what she's seen.

You heard from Shanika?

I need to ask you questions.

Kitty, it'll just break your heart.

If I'm gonna stay, I need to know.

He got a firebite. That's
what the old fellas call it.

His body moves like his blood's on fire.

It's agony.

He's gone.

Can't we get him back?

No.

So... what do we do?

Shanika's taking care of it.

Poor bastard.

He's gonna be wanting his own
people's blood for eternity.

Loved that dickhead.

He knew.

He went thinkin' every
woman in town loved him.

[Sniffs]

You stay...

... you fight.

[Dramatic music]

[Vehicle approaches]

[Car door opens]

[Car door shuts]

[Pants]

Come on. Come on.

Enough of that. Here, drink. Drink.

Hey, come on.

Drink!

You need the blood, right?

It's already helping
to heal you. Come on.

Yeah. It's good, innit?

Mmm. That's right.

Hmm. Very good. All
right, there you are.

- [Tyson groans]
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Bad, bad, bad. Don't snatch.

[Eleona] Need me to hold
it, do you? Here, you try.

That's right.

Ahhh! Ahh.

[Lucas] This place is empty.

Lots of space.

[Tyson slurps]

Think of what you could do and
build. Colony for the taking.

[Tyson slurps]

You wanna see my fangs, Lucas?!

Boo!

You want others to do the hard,
dirty work, don't you? Hmm?

And then when things go bad,

you can't be accused of any wrongdoing.

That falls on others, doesn't it?

Some people would call that cowardly.

You're right, Eleona.

A colony would never follow me.

They follow power.

And they've seen yours.

But they'll never follow a
vampire that doesn't k*ll.

[Matthew] Of course they
won't. You're pathetic.

Oh, Matthew.

Just leave it. Leave us!

I'll leave you, but I'm not
leaving here without him.

[Snarls]

You tainted our bloodline
by turning a black.

Oh, of all the ignorant things!

You bow down to this whore, Lucas?

The King will have both your heads.

I don't see him around.

I'll find him...

... and restore him.

[Growls, then snarls]

[Flesh squelches]

[Vampire gurgles]

Pathetic! You don't
even hide it anymore!

[Groans]

Go! Lucas, get him!

[Snarls]

Shh, shh, shh, shh. It's all right.

[Matthew] We'll keep coming
until you k*ll the dog.

OK. Settle. Settle.

- [Pants]
- Listen. Listen.

Calm. You're all right.

Calm. Settle. Down.

Good. Good boy.

That's right. That's right.

That's some healing blood
you have there, Shanika.

[Puts book down]

[Thump!]

I'm doin' the talking.

You came here on the first ships.

One of the first eleven.

Who sent you?

Kings of distant lands.

Why'd you come?

The empire enticed us with black blood.

You suckers need to learn your place.

We are superior in every way.

You're just food.

And you're just a disease.

Then why am I alive?

Eleona.

She's taken Tyson... and...

She turned him?

Where will she have gone?

Nah.

[Chains clink]

Chains off first, then I'll tell you.

You'll k*ll me.

I won't.

You have my word.

We want the same thing, Shanika.

- [Suspenseful music]
- [Pants]

[Groans]

[Pants]

[King] You realise you have no time.

[Pants]

Right this second,

he's losing his human
self, his identity,

his memories, everything.

If he lives long enough,
his memories will return.

[Pants]

[King] But that's if he lives that long.

Soon he won't even know your name.

Or his.

How long's it take?

Some can hold it for a few
days, a week, even, but...

... depends on their strength

and I don't think he's got much of it.

Tyson's strong!

Mmm. Maybe.

And I'll stop you all!

Stop being a child.

[Shanika groans]

[Pants, then groans]

[Grunts]

[Shanika groans]

You just lost control and it
would've cost you your life

if it wasn't for the fact
that I'm a man of my word.

You have so much strength, Shanika.

I've known it since the
first moment I saw you,

but mentally and
emotionally, you are weak.

And the only way you're
going to get what you want

is if you embrace your darkness.

That's where your power lies.

And I can help you with that.

[Chains clink]

- [Rock music plays]
- [Glasses and bottles clink]

[Man slaps Eleona's butt]

Nice.

You can't be behind here.

You can't tease me
like that, sweet cheeks.

Unless you want to pay
for a piece of that, eh?

[Scoffs]

You can't be behind here.

[Grunts, then snarls]

I know your type.

Like to play hard to get, eh?

- [Eleona screams]
- [Thump!]

Yeah, you're right.

You got me pegged.

Why don't we take this outside, yeah?

[Laughs] Yeah.

All right.

I'm comin' for ya.

Get out of here.

My daughter.

[Kitty] She's doin'
good. She's fighting.

I can see where you get it from.

I f*cked up.

We never should have gone back down.

It's my fault Tyson's not here.

You did what you had to do for family.

So did Tyson.

[Intriguing music]

Once upon a time,

there was a dressmaker...

... and she wanted a quiet life.

She wanted to raise her family
in the Australian outback.

[Chuckles]

She dismissed monsters

as myth and legend.

And then he found her.

She thought monsters should
be kept in the shadows.

But that's no place for monsters.

Tyson, come!

Wait here.

I sat with him.

And I covered him up.

Thank you.

Well, we'll carve some stakes
for you. Anything else you need?

- Me?
- Yes, you.

Tyson taught you for a reason.

You're the next blood hunter.

Eh? What?!

What did you say?

That's man's business, not yours!

She's more skilled than any
male blood hunter I've seen.

- Yeah, right. Get over here.
- And that's all our business.

If you don't like it, you can leave.

I'm out of here.

I'm making all the
community decisions now.

- [Hector] Ohh!
- I'll keep an eye on him.

I'm with you, Shanika.

We need to find Eleona.

- Go on. I won't be long.
- [Tyson pants]

Go on. There you go.

[Cage door squeaks]

Ellie?

Are you bloody mad?

- [Lock clicks]
- What's he doing here?!

Well, why, he's too young.
I can't leave him on his own.

[Spud] Well, he can't be left here.

Hey, Spud.

- [Cage rattles]
- [Spud groans]

Are we gonna have some sort of problem?

[Spud] No. No.

[Snarls]

No. No problem.

[Eleona] Oh, that's good.

[Groans]

I'm gonna go get some
blood from the fridge.

Why don't you two make friends?

You remember Tyson.

What the f*ck?

[Snarls]

Oh.

Yeah. OK.
