DOM: Tell me you found him.
More importantly, the money.

GERALDINE: You show
up. Hugo goes missing.

ANDY: Somebody framed me.

Do you think that Andy
k*lled his own father?

- Oh, yeah.
- Hallelujah.

Alrighty, here we go.

You don't wanna miss one
of Maureen's c*ck.

ANDY: Trevor picked me up.

He started smoking the
same brand cigarette

as whoever was
watching us at Hugo's.

If Trevor did it, then
the money might be here.

Found me.

What did you put
in the c*ck?

I'm not a smoker.

ANDY: So if it wasn't yours,
who gave you the cigarette?

CASSIE: Something's going
on with Gareth and Leon.

They have way more money
than an unemployed dead sh*t

and a station hand
would normally have.

[SIGHS]

[PHONE PIPS]

I've woken up in the Earth Room.

I'm still a bit out of it.

The big question is...

[UNSETTLING MUSIC]

what the hell is xylazine?

I think I have the answer.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

[SINGSONGS] Cassie!

Would you like some coffee?

No, thanks. I don't
know what's in it.

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

It was just a micro dose.

Didn't feel very micro to me.

Yeah, well, first time
can throw you a bit.

What, you didn't
have a good time?

I wouldn't know.

Well, I would.

- And I reckon you did.
- Yeah, I reckon you did too.

- And we took good care of you.
- MAUREEN: Yes.

We always take good
care of our guests.

We found you out in the street,
so we brought you back inside.

MAUREEN: Put you
straight to bed.

Where's Andy?

Uh, yeah, well,
um... [CLEARS THROAT]

Yeah, Andy and Trevor had a
barney about some cigarettes.

Cigarette. Just one
particular cigarette.

A cigarette?

Yeah, it was one that
I bummed off Gareth.

Then Andy said he was
going out for a whiz

and, uh, well, didn't
see him again after that.

So when he didn't
come back, I, um...

- CASSIE: Thanks for everything.
- Oh.

Well, no coffee, then?

- Oh, I'll have it.
- Will you?

You gonna sneak off and have a
little cigarette with it too?

Don't be like that.
Jesus, you f*ck one goat.

MAUREEN: You don't get
cancer from f*cking a goat.

- [BIRDS CAW]
- [UNSETTLING MUSIC]

Xylazine.

A common cattle tranquilliser

that some thrill seekers
like to take in micro doses.

[BIRDS CAW]

I could tell you the
history of the drug,

but right now I
need to find Andy.

Is he wasted somewhere?

Passed out from all the fun?

Or is he like his father

dead?

Oh, hi. I'm looking

Yeah, right. Well,
he's not here.

OK, no, that... No worries.
Thanks. [LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]

LEON: What... what
did you want with him?

I didn't think you
two were, um...

Oh, no, no. Nothing like that.

Um... I was gonna
interview him, actually,

for my podcast.

Right.

What, about cattle and sh*t?

Oh, no. Um, just about the town.

Said he was gonna tell
me about the people here.

The history of the place.
That sort of thing.

[SCOFFS]

You should have
f*ck' asked me.

I've lived in this town way
longer than bloody Gareth.

f*ck, he's never here anyway.

If you wanna know what
goes down in Bidgee,

I'm your man.

Right. OK.

Yeah?

[ENGINE IDLES]

No, no, it's the

I'll meet you at the
southern platform.

It's where they load
the livestock, you know?

Yeah, yeah, that's the one.

Wait, if the boat's
already there, tie it up.

I'll drop the rope

It's a sound recording.

Oh, right. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah.

f*ck' stupid. [CHUCKLES]

I want to paint a picture
of the m*rder*d man.

So tell me about you and Hugo.

You're both into UFOs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[IGNITES LIGHTER]

[WATER BUBBLES]

[SPLUTTERS]

Oh, f*ck. First
one always canes.

[SNORTS]

Yeah. He was in contact
with the Alpha 'Centurians'.

Centaurians?

Yeah. Centurians. Yeah.

OK. Um, so actual contact?

Yeah, like, been communicating
with them for months.

Ask, uh, Shoshanna.
She worked for him.

Have you seen anything?

I see what you did there.

What did I do?

Yeah, the way you flipped
it from Hugo and back to me.

You're pretty bloody
good at this, aren't ya?

Thanks. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

[SLURPS] Mm.

I've seen 'em.

Yeah. And not just the lights.

Like, actual fully
functional spacecrafts.

You stick around
here long enough,

you'll f*ck' see 'em too.

Why do you think they're so,
uh, interested in Bidgee?

Oh, well, that's the thing
with Alpha Cennies, mate.

Unpredictable.

The Greys, they're different.

They're pretty much
like you'd expect.

You know, they hang
around America and Sweden.

They don't like our
hemisphere very much.

Mm.

And what about the
other people here?

[SCOFFS]

Bunch of f*ck' losers, mate.

They'll probably say, "Oh, it's
a weather balloon or some sh*t."

They just... they
don't want to believe,

no matter how bloody
obvious it is.

OK.

Apart from extraterrestrials,
any other memorable moments?

[WATER BUBBLES]

Uh... [EXHALES]

Hippies?

Yeah, there was this one
time over at Charmaine's,

these hippies booked
out two caravans.

They go to bed, they leave the
candle on - f*cking dumb arses,

and whooshka!

The whole place goes up, right?

Both caravans burnt down
to the f*ck' ground.

I wondered what
happened to those.

Yeah, but the weird
thing is, right?

This is what's really weird.

Nobody remembers
seeing any hippies.

So... Not that that really
means anything, though.

Can be pretty bloody hard

to keep track of
people around here.

Do you think it's a coincidence
that the caravans burnt down

and Hugo's body turns
up in his burnt-out car?

f*ck. Incineration.

You're a bloody natural at
this, Cassandra, aren't ya?

LEON: OK.

So I feel like I've given you

all the goss on
everyone in town,

so what else?

Well, what about you and Gareth?

Any secrets you wanna share?

Well, why would me and
Gareth have secrets?

Oh, no reason. I
just thought maybe...

What if you tell me a
little bit about you.

- Me?
- Yeah.

[STAMMERS] About?

Like, what the f*ck
are you doing here?

Oh. [CHUCKLES] I'm
here for the podcast.

Bullshit.

No, seriously, I heard about

the missing man,
Hugo, and thought...

Not Bidgee.

Here.

My house? What are
you doing at my house?

I thought Andy came over here.

Nah.

Not Andy. No.

Wouldn't know where he is. So...

[CHUCKLES]

[BIRD TRILLS]

[SPARSE MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

[PANTS]

Well, thanks for that info.
I'm... I'm just gonna...

Hey, did Gareth tell you
about his plans for Indonesia?

A little.

Um, are you going with him?

Did he say I was going
with him, did he?

He didn't mention it.

He didn't?

No.

Sorry. So he said I wasn't
going or he didn't mention it?

Which f*cking one?

Uh... he said he was going.

He said he was
thinking about going.

Without me?

He did mention something
about you and him.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Well, what about me and him?

Oh, just...

I don't know. [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

You wanna know,
though, don't ya?

Nah, not really. I
just need to get going.

Got stuff to do.

Alright.

Come on, then.

Where are we going?

Out the back.

Out the back why?

Because that's
where the shed is.

What's in the shed?

All your answers.

You said you wanted
to know about me

and... and... and
Gareth and Indo,

so, yeah, we gotta
go out the shed.

Can't you just tell me?

Well, yeah, I could.

- [PHONE PIPS]
- But, um...

I wanna show you,
Cassandra, so... let's go.

It's just through the back door.

What? It lives in the shed.
I'm taking it back. Come on.

He and Leon are selling them
