Dropped him.

Oh, that was a stupid

Argh!

Dropped him.

Yeah, that one. Yes, come on.

OK. Boom-boom.

You nearly had him, old man.

[SIGHS]

Silly old blood hunter. [SIGHS]

[PHONE MESSAGE ALERT TRILLS]

What, you digging for China?

You won't need that big a hole.
There's not much left of him.

Here.

I found that. Thought you might want it.

You wanna talk about it?

Nah.

Fine. We'll clean up, we'll
bury him, then we'll take off.

Why?

Well, because if you
look around, little girl,

someone gave our location away.

I'm not a little girl.
And I'm not going with you.

- Why not?
- Because.

I got no time for this
teenage crap, Shanika.

You know I can tell when you lie to me.

Don't be stupid.

Is Mum dead?

- Look, we got no time...
- Is she dead?

We gotta pack up and get outta here.

Tyson, I'm asking you a question!

I don't know, all right? I
didn't see her die. There! OK?

Is she a bleeder? Who knows?

[WIND HOWLS]

Yeah.

Stay here. I'll get you some water, OK?

[MAN] Smokey said bad spirits did this.

Well, rum is a particularly bad spirit.

- It's made me do awful things.
- What the f*ck did you just say?

Ma'am, this is a crime scene.

Then do your job instead

You mean smart like you?

Did you even pass first grade?

Oh. Big woman, big mouth now, huh?

I gotta know if Mum's down there!

We don't go down there, bub.
Look where it got Jalingbirri.

At least he tried. What are
you? A failed blood hunter?

Oi!

[SPARSE MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

Big rain comin' there. Look.

Yeah, that thunder gonna shake
that country, and you watch...

... all those goannas that
live underground there,

they're gonna wake up, they're
gonna get real excited...

... 'cause that rain has made
the land come alive again.

Plenty to eat.

Ahhh.

Big rain comin'.

You know, Jalingbirri
taught me that yarn.

You think it's easy
buryin' someone you know?

Wouldn't know.

Jalingbirri taught me not
to bottle that sh*t up.

[SIGHS]

All right, this is the truth, Neeks.

There's a King Vampire here in town

and we are sittin' ducks 'cause
now they know where we live.

How do they know where we live?

I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.

And I need your help.

For what?

We're gonna catch a
vampire, we're gonna ask him.

While we're at it, we'll see
where they keep their bleeders,

if they got any, 'cause
if you wanna go down there,

you gotta be sure.

Sorry about, um...

Oh, no, no, no, no. You're right, bub.

We're gonna need more weapons, though.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[BIRD CAWS]

I'm sorry, Smokey.

Sorry's not gonna bring Coralee back.

It's not gonna bring my brother back.

[AUNTY MARIA] I was
always told not to tell.

I made up stories to keep the kids safe.

Worked for years, but...

[SMOKEY] No, don't. Don't give
me that sacred story bullshit.

I seen it last night at the clinic.

In full f*cking close-up.

Spirits or whatever.

They k*lled Coralee and they took her.

We've got no chance with
these things, you know?

We'd best pack up now.

I'm leavin'.

Might as well say our goodbyes.

No. No, you can't go, Smokey.

We're gonna need fighters.

Blokes like you who are not afraid.

The right way or wrong way,

we've fought for too many
years to save this country.

I'll be buggered if I'm giving up now.

I'm gonna go down
swingin', my old friend,

and we need your help!

I don't care if I'm
the first or the last.

I'm gonna stand up and fight them.

[SONG ENDS]

Did you know that in vampire lore,

a King is the only one
allowed to create new vampires?

I didn't know that about suckers.

I reckon a few of them would
break the lore, though. I would.

These blood hunters are deadly.

I don't get it. Why'd you leave?

They're full of sh*t, that's why.

Don't look full of sh*t to me.

Yeah, well. Come on,
let's get some sleep.

Why?

'Cause if we're gonna
catch a vampire tomorrow,

we need to be on top of our game.

That blood hunter nonsense
is a waste of time.

[INTENSE ROCK MUSIC]

So, it'll give us enough
power to run the blood machine.

[VAMPIRE KING] It'll do for now.

Survivors of the wars will be
coming from all over the country

to build our colony: we're

We can get one of our

We're gonna grow our numbers.
