Willow?

You saw her face, right?

She looked completely freaked out.

Was it kind of scared,

kind of trapped?

We've built a community here

that warrants fierce protection.

We have built a family

that is both strong and fragile.

Eugh!

Chubba?

Loch?

Loch!

Eugh!

Jesus Chubba!

Duncan's been arrested.

Yeah, I know, mate.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Sydney.

In Duncan's car?

He just got busted

with five pounds of Ice.

I don't think he's gonna be using it.

But what am I supposed to do?

What do you mean?

You didn't do anything.

No, I mean if Dunc's in jail

and you're pissing off,

what the f*ck am I supposed to do?

You guys are my friends!

I don't

I don't have any other friends.

For f*ck's sake, Chubb!

Look, mate,

a little bit of tough love for you.

You are a lovely bloke

but you are a bit wet.

Just do your own thing.

What does that mean?

I dunno.

Just get into yoga

or take some mushrooms

or f*ckin' learn the ukulele.

Just

Alright,

OK. OK, Chubba, you'll be OK.

You left your

No! Jesus! Ow!

What the f*ck, Chubba?

Please don't call me Chubba.

Sorry. Fine.

What's with the

You can call me Father.

I don't wanna call you Father.

Well, tough tits.

What's with the handcuffs?

Well, we both know

how angry you can get.

Why are they fluffy?

It makes them more friendly.

Why are they fluffy?

It makes them more friendly.

How are you feeling? Any better?

Yeah.

I healed you. With Reiki.

With Reiki and

IV antibiotics.

One of our sisters was a nurse.

Right. Thanks.

Hey, Chubb

Don't call me that!

Mate, I really,

really need my phone.

I have to call my brother.

Can't let you do that.

You don't understand.

My daughter is

Can't let you communicate

with people outside of this room.

What? Why? Why not?

Because you know about me.

So?

Well, they believe that

I grew up in the slums of Mumbai.

You f*ckin' idiot, Chubba.

Don't call me that!

The slums of Mumbai?

Mate, you grew up

in the cafes of Bellevue Hill.

Yeah, I know where I grew up.

Your dad was a hedge fund manager.

Shut up, you sh*t face!

Are you f*ckin' kidding me?

You are not allowed to talk to me

like that anymore.

I am a leader and I have respect.

I am a leader and I have respect.

And it is very impressive, mate.

Honestly, I didn't think you had it

in you to grow such a stupid beard.

You're just a bully.

You're the one who's

got me handcuffed to a couch!

It's a divan!

Why are you here then, mmm?

Why am I here?

Mate, if I knew the answer to that,

I'd start my own pervy sex cult.

It is not a pervy sex cult.

It looks pretty pervy.

Big fanny blanket there.

It's a lily.

Sexy non-binary

dancing happy pants twins.

What do you want from me?

I don't want anything from you.

I'm here helping a friend.

Ooh, well, there's a first time

for everything then,

isn't there, DJ Lock?

Meg needs to talk to Linda,

that's all.

And I need my f*cking phone

so I can call my f*cking brother!

Fine.

f*ck!

Let's see what this Meg

has to say then, eh?

Hey, Father?

What?

If you so much as touch her,

I will burn your f*cking theme park

to the ground.

I'm sorry.

You were a surprise.

I should have WhatsApp-d you, eh?

My mistake.

I thought that

we could go for a walk.

You're not going to take me back

to Guru Hairy McStarey, are ya?

Hello?

Anybody?

Hello? Hello?

Hippies?

Eugh!

Eugh!

f*ck!

You sound like a crow.

Who's that?

That's what crows say.

Hey, Barley! Hi, little mate.

How are you going?

Hey, Barley?

I accidentally got locked in again.

You have to do contemplation.

Definitely.

And I have contemplated heaps

but I have to get out now

'cause I have to find my phone.

My um

My little girl is flying on

a big plane to see me

and I need to make sure

someone's there to meet her.

Wanna use my phone?

You have a phone?

It's secret.

Well, I am fantastic with secrets.

Barley?

What's those?

Oh, those? They're handcuffs.

Why are they fluffy?

They're more friendly.

Here you go.

That's your phone?

Yep. I use it for games.

Right.

Hello? God?

Yeah, it's Lucky. This isn't funny.

No, silly.

What!

This is amazing!

You are amazing.

f*ck!

f*ck!

Hill. I need a hill.

Hey, Barley, you know how

you know how to sneak out?

Can you show me? I won't get you

in trouble, I promise.

Please, please?

f*ck!

Barley's my um

He's my half brother, eh?

Barley's my um

He's my half brother, eh?

Yep.

How old is he?

Six.

He's six.

How long have you been here for?

6.5 years.

So, we both came

here pregnant then.

Nothing.

Sorry.

What are you sorry for?

How's your dad?

He He's good.

And Matty?

He's 23, right?

How's he? Is he still living

at home in Karingunna?

Sister.

Nice shades, bro.

Come with me, please.

No. f*ck off.

Sister?

Please tell your daughter

to come with me.

Whatever.

Come on, fuzz face. Let's ride.

I don't know what

your relationship is with Lock

but you mustn't let him

poison your soul.

He's a cynic.

He'll never be happy

and he believes in nothing.

I'd rather believe in nothing than

whatever sh*t you're feeding Linda.

I'm feeding her oxygen.

I'm feeding her love.

I'm feeding her oxygen.

I'm feeding her love.

Eugh.

I'm feeding her hope.

You're touching my leg.

Come, please.

You could stay with us

if you like, Meg.

Be with your mother.

'Cause all you have to do

to achieve real peace is

What the actual f*ck?

Where is he?

How would I know? You don't

Where is he?

I don't know. Hey, get off!

What are you doing?

Face the hand.

What?

Face the hand!

Don't! Get off!

Just face the hand!

Eugh!

Eugh! Ow!

Sorry, sorry.

Another flaming penis

Sorry. Sorry.

It's alright, it's alright.

It's OK.

It was just a bit scary.

Oh, I bet.

Hey, thank you.

Don't tell anyone that I've gone, OK?

Don't tell anyone about my potato.

Deal-eo.

See you.

Hello? Hello?

Sweet vag.

So creepy.

Six-nine-six-nine.

Oh, Chubba,

that genuinely makes me sad.

Three. Butt for ens

Butt for ensuite

Three four one one eight.

Butt for ensuite because

f*ck! Come on, Lucky!

You've known this number

for 20 f*cking years.

Butt f*ck!

f*ck.

Eugh!

Eugh!

Oh, sh*t.

Lucky?

Oh, sh*t!

Chubba?

If you call me Chubba one more time

I swear I'll

Sorry. Sorry.

It's just a habit.

Oh f*ck, my head.

Is that a sabre? It's a samurai

sword, sh*t for brains.

Oh, right.

What? Why shouldn't I have

a samurai sword, Lucky?

A samurai sword's

not ironic enough for you?

I bet you wouldn't say

that to an actual samurai.

I probably wouldn't say that

to an actual samurai

if I stumbled upon

an actual samurai.

You're not funny.

I'm f*cking semi-conscious

is what I am.

What is that?

No, I just

I just found this lying around.

Who did you call? Who did you call!

I didn't call anyone.

Just tried to text

my f*ckin' brother.

Oh, this is so pathetic.

Oh, boo-hoo. I'm so self-sabotaging.

Let's all have a big man sad.

You have the nerve to judge me.

I'm not judging.

I was never judging you, mate.

It's just teasing.

Teasing is what men do to each other

to share their self-loathing

round a bit.

Chubb, it's an act of generosity.

Chubb, it's an act of generosity.

Don't call me Chubb!

Eugh!

f*ckin' hell, Chubba!

I'll k*ll you!

Eugh!

Hi.

Hi!

Your head's bleeding.

My head's bleeding!

Oh shut up, Captain Handsy.

What the f*ck?

What's with the sex swing?

It's just a swing.

Screw you.

I sit on it when I'm playing FIFA.

I had sex on it once. So what?

I don't know.

I think once is enough.

- I think that makes it a sex swing.

- It's not a sex swing!

So, is that what

this scam's all about,

just a sad high school nerd

trying to get laid?

Just a sad high school nerd

trying to get laid?

I'm allowed to get laid.

We're all adults.

Really? It's just adults?

Of course just adults,

you sicko.

I don't know.

Just going off precedent.

Where there's gods,

there's grubs.

So, what else?

What else what?

Well, sex, tick.

Tax avoidance, obvs.

What's the side hustle?

There's always a side hustle.

The people who join us

choose to give up everything.

Some of them were very rich which

is usually why they were very sad.

So, you lie about being a guru

and then you convince them to

give up all their worldly belongings,

their shoes and their tech

and their alcohol,

and then you take their money

and spend it on

shoes and tech and alcohol?

No, I invest it. In hedge funds.

And I spend the dividends on

You're such a f*ckin' hypocrite!

So what?

I am made happy by shoes

and swords and cocktails

and VR hentai.

And swords and cocktails

and VR hentai.

And they are made happy by

the absence of shoes,

by the absence of all of that.

But they're trapped.

They were already trapped.

It's a binary, brother,

you're either on that side

of the fence or this side.

Except for the Father.

You get to have a shoe in both camps.

Yeah, well, it's my bloody camp!

See?

Did you know about this?

Well?

It's nice.

Nice?

f*cking hell. Nice?

You could

You understand that

you don't have to stay here, Linda.

You understand that

you don't have to stay here, Linda.

Mum?

You, you

Lucky, can you say something, please?

Linda, if you wanna leave we can

We can leave.

We can leave right now.

We'll get Barley

and we'll just go. Hey?

He's a f*cking fraud.

Don't you see?

You live like a nun

and he's got a f*cking sex swing.

It's just a swing.

I don't know

what you want from me!

I'm not your mum, Meg.

I couldn't be your mum.

I wanted to but

I don't need anything from you. OK?

I don't want anything.

You don't understand.

I just I just want you to be OK.

I don't want you here.

Why? Why would you want to be

near me? I tried to hurt you!

Why? Why would you want to be

near me? I tried to hurt you!

Why? Why did you come here?

Why are you here?

You know,

I follow you on Instagram?

Really?

I've never seen you post.

I don't post. I'm not a millennial.

I've never seen you post.

I don't post. I'm not a millennial.

So, why do you have Instagram?

You know,

cats falling off sh*t mostly.

But what I really love

is I love seeing photos

of you and Avery.

And you're at posh dinners

and drinking champagne,

raising money for the f*ckin'

Sydney Interpretive Dance Collective

or some sh*t.

And you post photos

of some on your phone.

Same phone you couldn't pick up

for four f*ckin' years to call me,

while I'm off at school

in bum-f*ck nowhere,

three hours a day on a boiling hot

bus, trying to get homework done,

trying to concentrate.

You know, trying not

to worry about Dad.

And here you are with your shiny

teeth and your shiny girlfriend.

And here you are with your shiny

teeth and your shiny girlfriend.

It makes me wonder

if back then when I met you

and you made me believe that you

gave a sh*t about me, if I was just,

I don't know, just like

this stupid little girl

and I made it all up in my head.

And the whole thing

That whole thing was just,

you know just nothing.

So many times I wanted to

No, but then I find

Mum's letters, right?

And Dad's freaking out.

And I'm f*cking pregnant

to that big, gorgeous idiot

and I don't know

what the f*ck to do.

But of course, you know,

I don't want to get rid of the baby

'cause Mum got rid of me

and I know what that feels like.

That feels like

That feels like sh*t.

Your whole life.

Your whole f*cking life.

And I know that

that doesn't make sense

And I know that

that doesn't make sense

'cause when I get rid of

mine it's not gonna

it's not gonna know, you know?

But nothing does.

So I come, I come to find you

'cause I need someone.

Lucky, I needed one

f*cking person to help me,

to take care of me for once.

And I knew it wasn't gonna be Linda.

I came to find you.

Lucky, get down!

f*ck!

Find them.

They're probably heading for

the river or the Gungardie road.

Go, go, go, go! Hurry up!

OK.

OK what?

Billie lands in 22 hours.

It doesn't matter, it's too late

No, it's not. No, it's not.

We just need to find a way

back in the commune.

Back in? Why?

Jobs.

How did you get out?

Eugh!

Here.

OK.

Yep.

Whoa!

Go, go, go.

Wait.

It's in the jar.

sh*t. Which jar?

In the

There's four jars!

The middle one. The tall one.

The tall one.

Quick as you like, mate.

Quick, quick, quick.

Is this yours?

Yep. Yep. Yep.

OK.

Come on.

Bacopa!

Hi, Sage.

Your real name's Tammy, right?

Geert said you might be hungry.

If you want to come, you have

to come now. Grab your stuff.

No stuff.

Keep searching, we must

find them. The Father is furious.

Shh.

Maybe you should

sit in the Discomfort Tent.

Oh for f*ck's sake.

Chrysanthe come in.

Yes, Sage?

The children said that

they saw the man and the girl

down by the bottom gate.

Come on.

Just go. Go, go, go.

I need this.

Are you going?

Bye, Barley.

When you're a bit bigger,

I'm gonna come back

and I'm gonna take you

on a huge adventure.

OK?

Would you say hello

to your dad for me?

And Matty?

Yeah. Yeah.

They'll

They'll be really glad

to know you're OK.

Bye, Linda.

Oh, look! A sex swing.

Now what?

Find car keys.

Car keys. I saw car keys.

Find car keys.

Car keys. I saw car keys.

Cable. Got a cable.

I've got car keys!

Lucky! f*ck's sake. Come on!

This is my

Oh, good, he's got shoes.

He's got so many bloody shoes!

Mine's that one.

Let's go.

Come one!

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Oh, you are very sexy.

Meg, what are you doing?

I'm coming.

Get in the car! Come on!

Shut the f*ck up!

Meg!

Can you get in the f*cking car?

Lucky, drive.

I don't know why the

Open the f*cking door!

No, no, no!

What was under the tarp?

What was under the tarp?

Go get 'em!

Weed!

Always a side hustle.

Christ, I almost feel sorry for him.

No, f*ck him! He's a liar.

Anyway, it's mostly vodka,

it won't burn much.

Go get 'em!

Where's the other car?

Well, as long as the fire

doesn't reach the
