Give me the map.
Oh, you think you can
capture it, is that it?
I've already put things
in motion,
I've changed the will.
I've informed the tribe.
You'll be doing
all this for nothing.
It might be for nothing,
but I hope you've
said your goodbyes.

Goodbye.

Go on, you.
[barking]
Ahh.
Tristan.
Tristan, open up.
Oi!
[dog whimpers]
Max, wait! Max!
Max!
[flies buzzing]
-Hey!
-Oh!
You're a d*ck.
What you gonna do about it?
What's this?
It's what we call
a dead kangaroo, mate.
Very funny.
What happened to it?
That I'm not so sure about.
Oi, Max, out of it.
[whistles]
[dog whimpers]
Well, whatever it is,
I think Mr. Skippy here
has skipped his last skip,
haven't you, Skip?
Welcome to the country, Nick.
You having fun?
[scoffs]
Anyway, I am parched.
Good to see you.
-Wash your hands or something.
-[chuckles]
You coming?
[dog barking]
You got any sparkling water?
Some La Croix?
-Uh, no, your highness.
Got some beer.
-Bit early, isn't it?
[scoffs] Been here two seconds,
you're already telling me
what to do.
-That's a record, mate.
-You'd better take a shower,
you grub.
[scoffs]
So, why did you
call me out here?
[sighs] Gimme a chance
to get my feet up, mate.
Please.
Right, so, a couple of days ago,
I get a letter from Granddad.
Here we go.
It's marked about a month
before he d*ed.
Someone must have
passed it along to me.
Okay, well, why
do you need to see me?
Oh, don't know.
Just thought maybe you might
be a little bit interested.
Also it's marked
to both of us, so...
it's not just for me.
"Dear Tristan and Nick,
hope this letter
finds you well."
"Sorry I can't be there
with you both."
"I'm sure you're both growing
into good young men."
"I made sure
you'd get this letter
to know my dying wish,
that my acres of land are given
to the local aboriginal tribe."
"They've been a great help
with my research
and are good friends."
"Tristan, I've...
Tristan, I've placed the land
and decision in your hands."
"I trust you know
the right thing to do."
"Nick, I need you to be there
now for others
as I was there
for the two of you."
"I tried to give you boys
the life you deserve."
"I have every confidence
you'll make the best
of your situation."
"Love you, boys."
"Granddad."
So, there's
this local developer,
wants to buy the land off me.
Tristan, you understand that
Granddad's property has been
in the family for generations?
-Yeah, I know that.
-It's a lot of land, mate.
Well, they're willing
to pay a lot of money.
-How much?
-A lot.
But it's obviously
not what Granddad wanted
so I thought I'd check in
to see what you think.
Well, it's right here,
in his own handwriting.
It's up to you.
Up to me.
You drove hundreds of kilometers
to tell me that it's up to me.
Okay. That's awesome,
it was really worth the trip.
So glad you came.
Thanks, mate.
Where you going?
Uh, that would be up to me.
Just wait. I'll unpack
my ute and come help.
-[dog barking]
-So...?
Max, wait...
Fine.
Bit of manual labor, eh?
Look, I'm sorry about in there.
I just... I didn't want
to tell you what to do.
What do you want to do?
[sighs]
I don't know, Nick.
Just... should act
like a brother for once.
Help me out.
Personally, I think you should
do what Granddad wanted.
Whatever.
Oi! [snaps fingers]
Come on.
-[Tristan groans]
-What do you reckon?
It's a croc?
Yeah. If one magically swam
this far down south.
Doubt it.
[snarling]
[barking]
[branches cracking,
leaves rustling]
[barking continues]
Come on, whatever k*lled the roo
is obviously sticking around.
That's great.
[dog whimpers]
[contemplative music]
[banging on door]
G'day. Garvey's the name.
You must be Tristan.
-I'm Nick, that's...
-No, I'm Tristan.
-What's up?
-Your grandfather
spoke of both of you.
I didn't expect both of you
here today, though.
-You expected us--
-No, it's okay.
I think I saw you
in one of Granddad's photos.
Your grandfather was a fine man
and a very, very good friend
of our people,
which is why
I'd like to talk to you.
-Oh...
-Why don't I leave
you boys to it, eh?
Right. [laughs]
You know what,
let's just go out this way.
So, you got
the letter I sent then.
Right, so you sent that to me?
Yeah, your grandfather asked me
to keep it in safe hands
until the property could be
handed over to the local tribe,
and the time's come now.
Right.
How would you feel
about a cash payment instead?
'Cause this developer
is willing to give me
serious--
You know, the land here,
it's part of us,
we're a part of it,
it's inseparable.
You can't take one
from the other.
It's sacred to us.
Like this land
that we're on now.
Look, your grandfather
had great faith in you, son.
I know you'll make
the right decision.
-How about you give me a call
when you're ready, eh?
-Yep.
All right, son.
He said he sent us that letter
at Granddad's request.
And he's gone.
Yep.
Don't you want some answers?
Uh... only if you do.
Wanna call him?
Thanks for your help,
by the way.
It was awesome!
[Nick] Got any left?
Wait, it's not too early
for you, is it?
That's funny.
-[sighs]
-[dog whimpers]
[owl hooting in distance]
Eh, I was thinking before,
do you remember that time
when I saved you? Hmm?
You know,
from the kids next door.
You were in, like, your sixth.
Jeez. That was a while back.
Yeah, but they were big kids.
All I saw was you flying
down the back steps,
jumping on
the biggest kids' shoulders
and smashing him
on the side of the head.
Yeah, and then I grabbed
that cricket bat
and just started
smashing everyone.
Yeah, you always
had a lot of fight in ya.
Yeah.
What did he mean by research?
-What?
-In Granddad's letter.
He said the local
aboriginal tribe helped him
with his research.
I'd be more concerned
about what he said about you.
You know, the helping others.
I have helped others.
You know, even Dad
helped us after he left.
[Nick] Stepdad.
You just abandoned me, Nick.
Me and Mum.
[dog snarls]
[creature roaring]
What the f*ck was that?
[branches cracking,
trees clattering]
[creature snarling]
We better go inside.
Yeah, uh-huh.
[Nick] Max, inside.

You're older.

What's this good news?
-News? What's--
-You called, remember?
Said you sold a heap of my sh*t.
Invited us around
to come and have a party.
Don't remember
calling you, mate.
So, what, you didn't
sell any of my sh*t?
Yeah, well, I sold
some of your sh*t.
I just don't remember calling.
But I must have.
My bad.
All right, okay, all right.
Party's on.

Hey-hey-hey! It's fucknut!

No, you're not.

Hey, get out!

Uh, something's
happened to Jason.
You better come out.

Uh, I guess.
Uh, Nick's out looking for him.
He's, um... yeah.
How long's he been gone for?
[chuckles] A while.
Hey, be right back.
It's called knocking, you know?

You are just... wow.
But I like him.
Yeah.
All right, well...
I'm gonna go finish off.

What... Jason!
[Nick] Okay, ready?
-[sighs]
-Oh!
[laughing] What happened to you?
Oh, f*ck this crazy
voodoo forest sh*t, BJ.
-We gotta get outta here.
-He's off his face,
he could have seen anything.
Did you see anything, Nick?
No.
Whoa!
Wake the f*ck up to yourself.
Seriously, no more dr*gs
for that man.
All right, look, party's over.
Let's just get him back inside.
[Kate] Thank you
for finding him.
-Come on, princess.
-No.
I'm gonna stay out here
for a bit.
I wouldn't stay
outdoors if I were you.
Fine. I'm staying
in the house tonight.

Hmm.
What the hell is this?

That'd be odd.
I live here, remember?
You know, you're...
you're not what
BJ makes you out to be.
[scoffs] I'm really not.
Hey.
I wanna make you breakfast.
I got nothing in the fridge,
unless you want beer.
Hmm-mm. No.
So I'm going to go

Did you...?
I'll admit it was nice
to see him after ages,
but...
I don't know.
You guys talked it over?
Have you?
What's there to talk about?
I don't know, maybe the fact
that you still hate him?
What...? I don't hate him.
You know, it's like,
after Mum and Dad divorced,
he could have grown a pair
and manned up.
No, he started
to f*ck off to the city instead.
And your dad,
have you heard from him at all?
No. Never really expect it,
but at least he sent us money
to keep us afloat.
Um, are we done here,
by the way, or are we gonna keep
walking around and around...

walk and talk,

Don't! [laughs]

-Hey, what--
-I wanna be with Tristan.
You wanna be with Tristan?
f*ck you. You f*cked him once.
Becky, come on.
I miss you.
Yeah, but you had your chance.
I'm not going to sit around
waiting for you
to get sick of Anya.
I'm done!
Whatever!
You'll be back!
[Rebecca] f*ck you.
[BJ] You always come back.
Oh, um, that reminds me.
Can we stop off
at that developer's site office?
-He called?
-Yeah.
Take the money.
Yeah?
I thought you wanted me
to give it to the local
aboriginal tribe.
I know what I said, Tristan.
Jesus, you don't
have to bite his head off.
What?
I'm sorry, I...
I just don't want you living
out here alone anymore, okay?
Oh.
Cash money!
Where is Bec?
Bitch is still down there.
When we get home,
can you get some new friends?
-What are you doing?
-Coming with ya.
-You all right to stay?
-You go then.
This is nice, I like
what the bulldozers have done
with the environment.
What's he want
to talk to you about?
I'm guessing money.
Money's good.
[scoffs] I wouldn't know.
Monday. Monday.
Hey, Tristan,
it's good to see you again.
-Yeah.
-Yeah. Who's this guy,
your bodyguard?
He's my brother.
Oh, okay, family.
-John.
-Nick.
Come in.
Okay.
It's not much, and it's home.
Gee, I'm sorry about the flies.
It's par for the course,
I'm afraid.
So, you just have to sign
these papers
and you can be off
to your beach house
and surfing your days away.
You surf?
Uh, no, not really.
What about you? You surf?
No.
Oh, okay, two for two.
Well, whatever you do
from now on, you, uh...
you're going to be
doing it in style.
And this developer,
what's he, uh, gonna be, um...
developing?
Well, I... I never can answer
that with my clients.
I mean, he can build
a nuclear-powered
60-lane bowling alley,
if he's dropping
that kind of cash, am I right?
Am I right? [chuckles]
And, uh, what is, um...
what does this bit mean here?
[John] Whatever is on
the property at the time of sale
is owned by the new purchaser.
So, what it means is,
water tanks,
old cars, buildings.
Whatever's there, they own it.
Okay, cool.
Um, that's all
sounding pretty good to me,
so, uh, I reckon, Nick?
I think you should take a day
to look at the fine print.
Um... [softly] I thought
you just said in the car...
No, I know what I said.
So, yeah, I'll, um, just take
a day to think about it
and then is it all right
if I give you a call tomorrow?
Yeah, sure, no, you just
take all the time you need.
Thanks.
What's that?
[John] Oh, it's just
some aboriginal art.
I don't know, I just...
I like it as art.
I've had it a long time now.
Well, I think we're done here.
Talk tomorrow, Tristan.
Not a lot of construction
vehicles here for a, uh,
nuclear bowling alley.
Oh, don't worry,
they're going to be here.
Who's worried?
-I'm telling you
the guy's a bloody liar.
-You just met the bloke.
Yeah. And I'm almost certain
he's been sneaking
around the place.
-Last night with Jason?
-And the night before.
-Hey, I bet that sick bastard
k*lled that roo.
-Sure, why not?
What? A kangaroo?
What are you talking about?
When city boy got here,
we found a roo that had been...
well, was dead.
But I really don't think
that a real-estate agent
is gonna be trying
to scare off the residents.
-Why did he have
night vision goggles?
-Where?
In the boxes he had lying
around, you idiot.
-I don't know.
-Nick, calm down!
f*ck it.
Last night when I found Jason,
I looked up to the bush
and there was a dark,
shadowy figure
with red eyes
staring right back at me.
I couldn't work out
what it was at the time,
but the goggles in his office
were the exact eyes I saw.
Here we go again, you see,
where Nick just doesn't
tell us sh*t.
That's okay because muscles here
is gonna save the day, right?
More like save
your own skin as usual.
The guy's up to something.
Think, maybe he's trying
to get in your head,
get you to sell
this place for cheap.
Mate, just come back
with me tonight,
and I'll prove it to you.
Yeah, and then
what's gonna happen?
Pull off the mask and go,
"Oh, look,
the monster was old man Richards
the whole time!"
-[Anya] Give it a rest!
-BJ was right,
you're not a brother.
You just think about yourself.
Go to hell, Nick, seriously.
f*ck me!
He's just still mad
about you leaving him.
Yeah, you think?
What are you gonna do about it?
I'm gonna go to the study,
see if I can find a reason
that scumbag Richards
would be hanging around.
Okay. Let's go.
Let's go.
-What's up?
-Nothing. Just Nick.
That's what I've been
trying to tell you, brother.
Hey, man, what's going on?
Ah, not much.
Hey, where's, um, Bec?
She went for a swim.
A few hours ago now. Whoa.
Where is she?
[water running]
-[Jason] Bec!
-[Kate] Bec!
Bec!
Hey!
Bec!
[Rebecca, voice echoing]
Come over.
Come follow me.
[man screams]
When did you last see her?
What is this,
a f*cking interrogation?
-When?
-Mate, I told you,
last time I saw her,
she went to the billabong
to have a swim.
We're gonna have to
keep looking for her.
I'm gonna go get torches.
-What did you do?
-Know what, Kate? I don't
think I like your attitude.
-If you did something,
I'm going to the cops.
-[chuckles] Well...
You weren't like this last night
when we were making out.
assh*le.
That was a colossal
waste of my time.
Just because
we didn't find anything
doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Are you okay?
-Bec's missing.
-What? Since when?
-Since we left this morning.
-Really?
If you're going to look for her,
take Max with you.
Oh, I can take your dog,
but you're not coming?
Scared of
the real-estate man, huh?
I'm going to go see him now.
Oh. Braver than we thought.
Come on, Max.
I should go with them.
They're going to need some help.
Hey, wait, I need your...
I need your help.
Oh, what the f*ck?
Jason, I need to talk to you.
Last night, I didn't even know--
Anya, the fucknut took the van!
Anya's going with Nick.
f*ckin' bitch,
she knew where I kept my keys.
In the ignition.
-Buff my sh*t.
-Eat a d*ck!
Hey, guys, shut up
for a second, would ya?
Now, I don't care
what's going on with you guys,
but we need to focus on trying
to find Bec, all right?
-Now, I say that we start
looking for her down--
-No, no, no.
I'm gonna run this thing so we
can get it over and done with.
Leave the rat here.
-[dog whines]
-Mate, I actually had a plan.
Look, all I'm trying to do is
help you find your girl, bro,
but if you don't want my help...
[Tristan]
Mate, it's not like that.
I'm just concerned because
it's really easy to get lost,
and at nighttime
we've got no hope.
Plus, Nick decided
not to stick around as usual.
Well, that's what Nick
does best, isn't it?
Does it look
like anyone's there?
Does it look like
I have X-ray vision?
Can't see any cars.
Might just wait a minute, eh?
-[horn honks]
-Jesus!
[whispering]
I think the coast is clear.
Mm-hmm.
Quick, oh, my God.
Get in the back, go!
-Who is it?
-I don't know.
[whispering] Stay down.
Hi, how are you doing?
So, what's
a pretty thing like you
doing all the way out here?
Oh, um, my car's
not starting, but, um,
thanks-thanks for asking.
Do you need help?
No, no, no, that's fine.
My fiancés on his way.
I just spoke to him.
Fiancé?
Yep. Uh, two months today.
Well, I hope he gets here soon.
You don't know what's out here.
Lions and tigers and bears.
Oh, my.
Oh, my.
My God.
Where do you find these people?
You okay back there, Detective?
[Nick] No.
[grunts]
I thought yoga
was big in the city.
-Yeah.
-[laughing]
I liked your story
about the fiancé.
Wait, are you and BJ
getting hitched?
God.
No.
It is a real
engagement ring, though.
You kept it.
I've regretted
that decision every day
for the last seven years.
When he left us.
Who?
Sam.
-Your dad?
-Stepdad.
But that bastard took my family
for everything it was worth.
Someone had to step up,
someone had to provide.
Tristan was just a kid, and...
I know it's no excuse,
but I didn't have the guts
to look you in the eye.
It was a long time ago.
I think the rain's stopped.
You should probably get in there
in case he comes back.
I can't believe old slut chops,
f*cking off with Nick
like that.
She say anything to you?
Just that
she was glad to see him.
What's that?
Just fucks me off.
[sighs] Jeez, it's quiet.
Yeah, well, it's country,
it's supposed to be quiet.
I mean, this is really quiet.
It's never this quiet.
No, I know kangaroos
and stuff like that,
they can't k*ll you
but they can box you.
Seen Facebook, man,
those drop bears.
Vicious little f*ckers
with those teeth.
[switch clicks]
Who the hell is this guy?
[dog whining]
[distant roaring]
BJ did something to her,
you know that, right?
[Jason] I don't know anything.
Seems like you were pretty keen
to get down his pants
last night.
Jason, I said I was sorry.
I was drunk,
and he made a move on me,
like he does every girl.
God, can't you see,
he's always gonna
treat us like sh*t?
He's poison.
And you are such a nice guy,
but you need
to stand up for yourself.
[creature snarling]
Is that the dog?
[ominous music rising]
Hey!
[creature roaring]
[feet pounding,
creature snarling]
Jesus, Bec! What are you
doing out here?
We've been looking
all over for you.
[distorted voice]
Come with me.
Bec?
Come with me.
[ominous music]
Come follow me.
[dog barking]
Bec? Bec! Bec!
God!
Get help!
Get some bloody help!
[gasping]
What's going on?
[gasping]
Kate! Swim, babe! Swim!
Come on, you can do it!
[Kate sobbing]
Kate! Swim, Kate!
Come on!
Swim!
[Kate shrieks]
Kate!
[creature snarling]
[snarling continues]
[snarling fades]
-Great help you were.
-What was I supposed to do?
Didn't have to follow.
You know what, BJ, I've just
about had enough of you.
I listened to your advice,
I listened to everything
you have to say.
May as well listen
to this guy, no offense.
[pounding on door]
[pounding]
[pounding]
Dad?
What's going on here, Garvey?
What is this thing?
Is Richards trying to scare
my brother off the land,
is that it?
Richards is the least
of your problems.
You know what's going on,
you worked it out.
No. That is bullshit.
It's not bullshit, son,
it's true.
We need your help.
Hey! You okay?
No, I'm not.
What the f*ck is he
talking about?
It turns out my grandfather
was a cryptozoologist.
A what now?
Someone who researches
mythical creatures.
-And he studied bunyips.
-[scoffs]
-I know it sounds
f*cking insane.
-It does.
And you dragged me out here
and didn't tell me
anything again,
and you expect me to believe
this fantasy story--
It's not fantasy, miss,
it's reality,
and if you can stop
the domestic, we need to go.
Now.
Can't believe you lied to me.
Actually, I can believe it.
I didn't think you
were gonna believe me.
-f*ck, I don't believe me.
-f*ck, I'm an idiot.
That scumbag Richards
will be hanging around.
Is everyone okay?
Who the f*ck is that guy?
Shut up, BJ.
Dad, what are you doing here?
This reunion's great,
but we need to get
the f*ck out of here.
We're not going anywhere.
[g*n cocks]
Hello, Tristan.
Okay, what the actual f*ck
is going on here?
Son, you and I need to talk.
Your dad, huh?
Anything good on?
sh*t!
I'm sure he's fine.
If Garvey is telling the truth,
that means Richards does have
something to do with this.
And I bet he's
at the property right now.
And if Garvey's just crazy?
Then Richards is some old creep
who likes to play dress-ups.
And he's also f*cking crazy.
Point taken.
Okay.
I'm sorry I haven't
contacted you in years.
But why now?
And how do you know Richards?
This creature...
is what k*lled your grandmother
and eventually your grandfather.
Now, Mr. Richards
wants nothing more
than to stop this thing
before it can k*ll again.
And I agreed to help because
I knew you were out here, son.
[scoffs] Okay, well...
What was that I just saw
with Rebecca coming out
of the water like that?
And Rebecca is?
She's, uh,
a good friend of mine.
She's, um, this girl
that I've been...
-Anything else happen?
-Well, Nick's out there
with Anya,
you know, that girl that
he was seeing, and Kate,
Jason's girlfriend,
she just got dragged
under the water...
-Hey, um...
-Don't worry,
I'll go back and warn him.
If Richards is already there--
Stop worrying about me.
You must have
a lot of questions.
So, it looks like the whole
process has been sped up.
It's been sped up?
It's definitely got one,
maybe two.
Jesus Christ, Sam.
I mean,
that's just f*cking perfect.
Man, we still don't know
what happened to Rebecca.
Something's not right, man.
The thing got Kate.
Now all these private
m*llitary dudes,
all decked out and all over us.
No ID, no nothin'.
There's still one girl left.
We can lure it out with that.
Okay. But you have
to understand,
this is years in the planning.
Hey... [snaps fingers]
You know what this is
worth to the company?
Who's paying these guys?
Where did they come from?
What do they want?
They test it,
they're weaponizing it.
Calling it whatever,
it's more money than you
and I can ever dream of.
-Everybody just needs
to do their job.
-Okay.
[a*mo clip clicks]
-So do your job.
-[clip clicks]
So have you got any weapons?
Yeah.
Something is all wrong.
These guys...
[Richards sighs]
So...
how would you boys
like to be rich?
Two ball.
Thanks, by the way,
for looking out for the family.
I really needed it.
The support I mean.
Obviously the money.
Just nice to know
that someone cared
'cause Nick didn't.
Sure.
-Happy to help.
-No, I mean it.
It was just really good
to know that--
Jesus Christ, Tristan,
just... give it a rest.
Okay.
That-a-boy, stay.
-So you understand?
-Yep.
-[BJ] Anya's gonna be safe
the whole time?
-[Richards] Sure.
Kids have been briefed,
they're gonna help us out.
Tristan, how many vehicles
do you have here?
I got my old truck,
but I don't know where
the keys are to Nick's ute.
-Oh, that's okay.
-And these g*ns are gonna
take this thing down?
My men take it down,
then they net it.
Okay, you guys are just backup,
no one needs to be a hero.
-Then we find Kate?
-Then we'll find Kate
and Rebecca.
-Dad.
-[Richards] Ever sh*t
a g*n before?
Yeah, video games.
What's going on? Come on.
I need you to call Anya,
tell her she's in great danger.
Needs to get back here
as soon as she can.
Okay, if she's in great danger,
then shouldn't I tell her to go
as far away as possible?
You need to trust me.
You owe me this.
When the Rainbow Serpent
created the Earth,
she also created
one wise man, Biami.
She gave him the power
to protect land,
tribes and people,
and all the animals.
One man didn't like this,
you see?
He went and ate
the sacred totem animals.
This enraged Biami.
Biami decided to punish him.
But during their fight,
this tribesman
took on spirit form.
That man became Bunyip.
[creature snarls]
Bunyip swore vengeance
on all the tribes
and all the people
across the land.
His evil spirit
infested all the waters
and all the billabongs.
It would devour
anybody who went down there.
It would destroy anybody
who would try to stop him.
Nobody ever could.
So this thing,
it's still out there?
It always is and always will be.
That is the way of things.
All the tribes and people
living under fear of Bunyip,
they asked Biami
for his help and protection.
So Biami decided
to cage Bunyip
in his gunyah, his home,
that water hole,
for all eternity.
Three women had decided
to test Bunyip's power
and went down to the waterways.
But instead of k*lling them,
devouring them,
he gave them the gift
of eternal life,
making them his forever.
They became evil spirits
as well.
They lurk in the waterways.
They lure the other men,
women and children, drown them.
They allowed Bunyip to travel
beyond his gunyah.
It's happening once again.
Three girls,
two already under his spell.
Tristan!
Kate!
BJ!
Tristan?
[dog whimpers]
Max?
[door closes]
-Hey, sweetheart.
-[mumbled protests]
Waiting on your fiancé?
How's your wedding plan?
I've seen your dress-up shop.
I don't know what you're
playing at, but let me go.
Hello, Anya.
Sam? Help get this off me.
You're Richards' client.
Is this the part where
you tell me your grand plan?
-What the f*ck is going on, Dad?
-Tristan, help me!
-Anya! You okay?
-BJ, what the f*ck?!
Tristan, just shut it!
This is called
doing what you have to.
[BJ] The girl wasn't
part of the deal.
Yeah, I tend to lie a lot.
-BJ, I think you should
let Tristan go.
-Shut up, man.
-Richards!
-[Jason] BJ, let him go.
Richards, you listening to me?
She wasn't part of the deal!
-BJ, let him go!
-Can we focus?
Christ sakes, Richards.
Tristan, you and your friends,
back in the truck.
After all these years
of you helping out the family.
How could I have been
so wrong about you?
What help are you talking about?
To the right!
Ungag the girl.
What?
[protesting]
Feel free to scream.
-Get in there.
-Jason hit me.
Yeah, well, at least one of us
is thinking clearly.
We'll talk about
how you screwed me over later.
sh*t, sh*t!
-I think we're screwed.
-Gotta protect Anya.
We need to find Bec
and Kate and get
the hell out of here.
-Good luck.
-You too.
Lights out.
[intense music]
[distant whistling]
[whistling continues]
[bird wings flutter]
Here we go.
[whistling fades]
[creature snarling]
[screaming]
[creature roaring]
[shouting]
[shouting]
Who's got eyes on it?!
[bestial cries echoing]
Jesus Christ.
It's still here.
[blowing hollow tone]
[creature roaring]
Fire!
[creature snarling]
Come here.
Got you.
[creature roaring]
You should go back,
find Jason.
Yeah, yes, I should.
It's not holding!
Get the tranquilizer.
Jase, mate!
Jase, are you there, man?
[Jason] Am I...
Am I still alive?
We need to get
the f*ck out of here.
[creature snarling]
The Taser doesn't work here,
there's not even skin!
Get the electricity!
[electricity zapping]
[creature roars]
[Anya] Tristan!
Oh, thank God, you're okay!
This isn't happening
fast enough.
And where is Richards?
I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
Where's Nick?
Uh, there was a bonfire
and aboriginal man and Richards
and there was this suit
that looked like that thing.
Aboriginal man? Garvey?
I think so.
[creature snarling]
[electricity sparking]
[snarling]
[Sam] Tristan!
Do you see what I've done?
I've done more than anyone else
could have accomplished.
I did more than
your grandfather ever did!
[Tristan] What have you
accomplished?
You betrayed your family.
You don't know what family is!
[creature roaring]
I don't think that's
what he wanted us to see.
Me either!
[feet pounding]
[g*n f*ring]
[creature roaring]
-[victim screaming]
-[creature roaring]
Oh, f*ck that! Let's go!
Go, get in the truck!
[both gasping]
Get in, get in! Move your leg!
-Great!
-Where has it gone?!
-[glass shatters]
-[creature roaring]
-[screaming]
-Oh, sh*t!
sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!
[creature roaring]
Let's go!
Move it! Drive!
Drive!
[creature roars]
[laughing]
[screaming]
Get on! Get on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, you can do it!
Wait, where are you going?
[Anya screams]
BJ! Turn around!
Turn back!
Hey, Bunyip, over here!
[creature roaring]
[roaring fades]
[Richards] Hey, sweetheart.
Come on, now.
[creature calling]
[hollow clattering]
[feet pounding]
It's okay.
[softly] f*cking cockroach.
Oh, God damn it.
[leaves rustling,
branches snapping]
[creature breathing]
[snarling]
[screams]
[flesh tearing]
[creature snarling]
[feet pounding]
Stop the car! Stop it!
What the f*ck, mate!
We're going back for Anya!
Are you f*cking serious?
Did you see
what that thing just did?
-Are you kidding me?
-We're only going one way
and that's that way!
I've had enough of your sh*t!
And we are not leaving
without Kate, Bec and Anya,
you got it?
Now, get back in the truck
and turn around!
-All right.
-Come on!
All right, fine!
Come on!
[feet pounding]
BJ!
BJ, whatever you do,
don't turn around!
Go, go, go, go!
-BJ!
-[creature roaring]
Go!
Oh, sh*t!
BJ! Floor it!
f*ck!
[creature roaring]
Hang on!
-Hold on!
-Drive!
Whoa!
-Hold on!
-sh*t!
-No!
-[crashes]
[voices fade]
[ominous music]
[voice echoing] Tristan!
Tristan!
Jase!
Tristan!
Oh, f*ck.
Jase. Jase!
[ominous music]
You... you stay
the f*ck away from me.
Stay away!
-[ominous music]
-[screaming]
[dog barking, whining]
Max. You all right?
Trist, you here?
Tristan!
Anya?
Is anyone here?
f*ck.
Anya?
[groaning]
[gasping deeply]
Hey... BJ.
[coughing]
BJ?
Trist...
[groans]
-They're gone.
-Where is the final girl?
She's not
the final girl!
And he's my brother.
If Bunyip completes the ritual,
your girl becomes a bad spirit,
there'll be nothing we can do,
the tribes, anybody.
He'll be wreaking his havoc
right across the land.
And you of all people
should know what it's like
to give up something you love
for the greater good.
I played with you nice,
let's go!
Sam, get off me!
-We're running out of time.
-[screams]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Shh, shh, shh, shh!
[ominous music]
[BJ] No, no, no, no!
No, please!
No!
[screaming]
Tristan!
[screaming]
-Please! Oh, no!
-[feet pounding]
[creature snarling,
flesh tearing]
Come on, wakey-wakey.
[Anya groaning]
You're okay. Know where you are?
[creature roaring]
Why are you doing this?
A lot of people are gonna pay
big money for this creature.
You did all this
for some money?
I've sacrificed
everything to get this.
I trapped BJ.
You girls, you're the bait.
I brought Richards in.
I k*lled Clyde.
I k*lled Clyde.
Hey, Sam, go f*ck yourself.
[creature snarling]
[Anya straining]
This is where we found
your grandfather.
Did it k*ll him?
Bunyip was there
on the night, but...
your grandfather d*ed
of a g*nsh*t wound.
Sam.
Son of a bitch.
You get your brother,
you get the girl,
you get the man,
it'll give you time.
Time for what?
Time for me to lure Bunyip
back into his cave.
[Anya straining]
[water rippling]
[Anya] Bec! Becca, baby!
Take this.
And this.
Two bits of clay and a stick?
Ancient weapons.
We use them for ceremony
and business like this.
Kate! Kate, what should we do?
sh*t!
[creature snarling]
[feet pounding]
[roaring]
It's begun.
The ritual.
What? How do you know?
This way.
[creature snarling]
Sam.
Nick.
[Anya gasping]
No! Anya!
She's already gone,
but her death won't be
a total waste.
[electricity whirring]
No, no, no, no!
No, don't k*ll her, don't!
Don't!
She's already dead.
[creature shrieks]
[roaring]
-[Sam screaming]
-[electricity buzzing]
[roaring continues]
Bunyip, you remember me?
[snarling]
[in aboriginal language]
Anya!
[creature roaring]
Arrrrr!
Come on!
Get the girls out.
Now!
Anya, come on!
sh*t!
-Come on.
-Here we go.
Come on. Go!
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
[creature roaring]
[creature roaring]
-sh*t!
-What's wrong?
-Sam's gone.
-Oh, great.
It doesn't matter.
Are you guys okay?
We will be
when we get out of here.
Take this.
[creature roaring]
We gotta go, now!
[snarling]
Watch your step.
Look after them.
-You're not coming?
-Tristan's still down there
with that thing and Sam.
-I can't believe Sam's
capable of this.
-I can.
That's why you left
for the city.
Meet you back at the house,
all right?
I love you.
Go.
Anya, come on!
Come on!
[creature snarling,
feet pounding]
Come on!
Nick!
Trist?
Thank God. Are you okay, mate?
[weakly] Hanging in there.
[chuckles] Are you sure
you're okay?
-Nick, Nick...
-[straining]
I knew you would
save us... Nick.
[creature snarling]
It was always you.
Let's do that later, okay?
Let's get you out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-sh*t!
-[creature roaring]
Come on, man, let's go.
Come on.
-[g*nsh*t]
-[Tristan] Nick!
[Sam, laughing] I bet that
f*cking hurts, doesn't it?
f*ck sake!
He sh*t you.
Come on, Nick.
Better to die in a pool
of your own blood
than a pool of your own piss.
All right, straight down
that tunnel is the way out.
Anya and the girls
will meet you at the house.
All right? I'll see you
at the house.
-[Sam] Come on, Nick!
-Are you kidding me?
I'm not leaving you like this.
This isn't gonna be over
until I stop him.
You're in no position to--
Tristan, let it go, mate.
Please. Just go.
Please.
[Jason, in distance]
Tristan, come on!
Nick!
We'll see you
back at the house, yeah?
[groaning]
[g*n fires]
[creature roaring]
Come on.
[blowing deep, hollow tones]
[cave rumbling]
Be sure and say hi
to your friends.
[Sam screams]
Where the f*ck
do you think you're going?
[Sam] No!
[groaning]
[screaming]
-[expl*si*n]
-Nick!
[creature snarling]
[Sam screaming]
[expl*si*n]
