Little fishies swimming...
Run!
Good morning, Mrs. Campbell.
We need to speak
with your husband.
Is he around?
He's out doing an honest day's
of work, but you knew that.
You only come here
when the men are gone.
Where's your lovely girls?
None of ya business.
You're trespassing.
You know that?
The Mission Manager
gave us approval.
Kids are hiding, are they?
Maybe,
but I wouldn't go
looking for 'em if I was you.
There's all sorts of things
hidin' in dark places
around here.
Things that we know
and you don't.
Gubba man! Run!
Oi!
Oi!
Get the girl.
I'll get the boy.
Where are ya?
What have you got, mate?
I reckon she's in there.
Well, righto,
go on and get her.
Go on.
Nah.
Nah, I don't think so.
-Let's call it a day, hey?
-Sure.
Come on.
Aggie?
I'd like to celebrate
this coming together
of our two great companies.
My new best mate,
Victor Finlay.
But also, the woman--
sorry, the person
who has done the most
to close this deal -
Sarah Bishop.
She kept us both
coming back to the table
even when we were too stubborn.
Hey, Vic?
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Thank you...
- 'Woman slash person'.
'Slash person'!
Hi, Brett.
Helluva job, Sarah.
Mm. Thanks, Brett.
Hey, you would've gotten there.
Yeah, maybe.
They couldn't resist helping
a pregnant woman.
Keep telling yourself that,
champ.
It's, uh, not what's down
there, it's what's up here.
Yeah, buddy. Just man up.
Take the L.
Take it like a...
you know... like a man.
Mmm.
Ugh.
Hey, Becky. Becky!
I think they're lining you up
for bigger things.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
Just take my word for it,
they are.
Now drink up -
we're celebrating.
I can't drink alcohol.
Oh, it's just a sip.
Hey, how's it going with your,
uh... what do you call her?
-Your birth mother?
-Mm, all right, I guess.
Oh, it's a little bit weird.
I always wondered
what she was like,
but I never expected... her.
How so?
I dunno, she keeps telling
Chloe these Dreamtimey stories.
We've got nothing in common.
And she lives
up near the border
so it's not like
I can just tell her to go home.
But Fergus loves her.
House on fire, those two.
Well, you gotta dump him.
Husbands getting on
with their mothers-in-law?
First sign of the apocalypse.
Oh, speaking of
the apocalypse...
Need a lift?
Thanks, my girl.
This is Becky.
Hello, bub.
What have you got there?
Looks heaps heavy.
Just something to cook
for Sarah tonight.
Be good for your blood.
For you and the baby.
Oh. Thanks... Ruth.
Hey, got ya now. You got
nothin'.
Hey, babe.
Hey.
Hey, Becky.
-Hey.
-This is my brother, Ray Boy.
Delighted to make
your acquaintance.
I... am Ray.
Ray Boy.
No, it's just Ray,
the Boy is silent.
You might wanna get a shot,
Becky - he's got the hep.
Oh, charming.
-How'd the merger go, babe?
-Yeah, not too bad.
Uh, she's being modest.
It was huge, and it would've
completely fallen over
if it wasn't for
our Little Miss Fixit here.
I knew I married up.
That was smart of me.
Yeah, good stuff, Sare.
Becky, um, are you a merging
company business lawyer too?
It's called Corporate Law,
Agent Dipshit.
Mummy!
I drew you a picture.
- Ooh!
- Hey...
Agh!
- Argh!
- Mummy?
- Sarah!
- You right?
Come on, babe.
Bub, it's all right.
Everything will be all right.
Babe.
- I'm right here, babe.
- She's bleeding.
We've got
a placental abruption.
I want
an immediate IV line in.
- Get ready to transfuse.
- She's losing blood.
Catch up, people. Is it in?
-Give me an answer.
-Yes, Doctor.
Going into
cardiac shock!
Hold her down. I need
to get the baby out uninjured.
Baby straight to the ICU.
That's flatline.
Cardiac Resus. Defib
and another blood bag.
Start the code.
Get rid
of the transfuse.
Come on now. Are you in?
Blood bag?
Start the code.
Stand clear.
- Come on.
- Quickly.
- Clear!
Clear!
Shh.
-What a beautiful boy.
-Yeah.
Sare.
Whoa, sorry. This is
far too many visitors.
You're all gonna have to go.
Fergus, you can stay, mate.
And Sarah's mum, eh?
Yeah, of course.
I-I... I meant Ruth.
Well, whoever your mum is,
she can stay.
Fergus,
can I see you in the hallway
for a second, mate?
Now, you need to do everything
for her, mate.
She needs total rest.
It's a miracle
they're both still alive.
Um...
Uh, even though
they're fine now,
there are all sorts
of flow-on effects
-from something like this.
-Yeah. Ca... cardio, um...?
Well, cardiac arrest, yes.
But, I mean...
the stress of the body
basically rebooting itself.
She died on that table. There's
no telling what comes next.
You understand
what I'm saying?
Good man.
All right, now you
take it easy, please, Sarah.
Mm-hm.
I'll check on you later. Okay?
They've got jobs.
He's a carpenter.
She's a lawyer.
I know... they've got jobs.
They're both very good at them.
Sorry, Dr. Barnes.
And thank you for everything.
No, you're welcome.
I'll see you in a bit.
What was that about?
Nobody or nothing
better try take this baby.
My sister was stolen.
That was years ago.
Besides,
hospitals don't steal babies.
You were taken from me
from a hospital.
Whose fault was that?
I suppose the government
said it was mine.
Anyway, daught...
...it had to be spoken.
Wake up!
Do you guys
want an omelette?
- My favourite!
- Oh, I would love one.
Why did Jacob
take so long?
Babies come
when they're ready.
We can't rush them.
Okay.
Babe? Babe! Sarah.
Sarah, what's wrong?
You feeling all right?
Did you drop 'em?
Sorry. I... I must be tired.
Why don't you call Ruth?
Come give you a hand while
you get back on your feet.
I don't need Ruth to tell me
how to cook eggs.
I'll finish breakfast.
Nah, I'll do it.
-No, babe, I'm fine.
-Babe, seriously.
It's all good. I'll do it.
Here.
Take this bloke.
Me and sissy'll do it.
-Sister?
-Yes.
Wanna help Daddy
cook breakfast?
Yes!
- You right?
- Yeah.
I'll stay.
No. You go to work. I'm fine.
Anyway, someone has to
keep this family
in the lap of luxury.
Yeah, right. I wish I made
your kind of money.
Hey, you play
your cards right,
I'll leave you everything
in my will.
Get outta here!
Then I'm gonna do that,
and then do one,
then just a bit on that one...
You look after Jacob
so he doesn't get lost.
Now I'll get the tea
and the water.
Can you hold the cups?
Where's your brother?
Oh, my God!
It's all right.
Shh, shh, shh.
Why did you do that?
I didn't.
There'll be no lying
in this house.
Now, don't pick him up.
Do you understand?
Chloe, I asked you a question.
-I said, do you understand?
-Yes!
Sister, tell Daddy
the truth.
Sister?
I didn't move Jacob, Daddy.
It's all right, bub.
Come here.
I'll tell you what,
I'll clean up
and Chloe will help me, eh?
Yes, Daddy.
And if you need to,
go and have a rest, babe.
Yeah.
Hello?
Little girl... are you lost?
He's coming.
Hey.
You right?
Yeah.
I think I... just...
...had a bad dream.
Oh, babe. Come over here
and sit down here with us.
Do you want to ring your mu--
uh, Ruth?
-Can you stop with that?
-Yep.
Daddy,
do you have to go?
Daddy has to
go to work, Clo.
Love you, Daddy.
Bye, baby.
She'll come round.
- Just really tired.
- Mm-hm.
Finding it a little bit hard
to get back up after this one.
I suppose that's normal,
though.
Isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty normal.
Um...
I'm gonna give you
something to help you sleep.
Oh, no, I just need something
to give me a bit of a boost.
A good night's sleep
will give you a boost.
Mummy, can I sleep in here?
'Course, baby. Come on.
Sarah,
I've got to go to work.
Or do you want me to stay?
Sarah.
No. Go.
Here, good boy.
-I'll see you this arvo.
-Mm-hm.
You up?
I'm up!
Hey.
Shh, shh, shh.
Hey. Hey.
What game
do you like to play?
That's my favourite.
My mum would never
let me play it,
but we could sneak it.
But I live here.
What's your favourite?
What do you mean?
He's watching you.
Oh, my God. Ruth.
-You scared me.
-Hello, bub.
Hurting less and less each day,
but I'm feeling
more tired each day, too.
And you trust that whitefella?
Well, he's a doctor.
Just askin'.
And to what do I owe
this pleasure?
Hmm?
Well, I thought you were going
back up to where you're from.
What's brought you here?
What's brought me here?
I'm just saying,
why are you here?
Yay!
Uh, we can't do a smokey thingy
in here.
Why not?
The smoke detectors
will go off.
We'll get fined
thousands of dollars
if the fire department turn up
and there's no fire.
-Well, take the batteries out.
-No.
I'm not going to disable
the alarm system in my home
for some bloody...
superstition.
Mummy!
Well, can I put some ochre
around the place?
What are you doing?
You're staining the wall.
Can I put some on Jacob?
Can we, please, Mummy?
Yes, but make it quick.
- Yay!
- Okay.
Here.
Ruth!
In the name of Jesus Christ!
He just needs to swallow some.
You can't feed a baby dirt.
-Sarah, just listen to me--
-I'll have some, Nanny Ruth.
I want to be safe.
Look, you have to go. I can't
have this stuff in my home.
- Sarah, just listen--
- No, Ruth.
I'm sorry.
I'm asking you to leave.
-Nanny Ruth, don't go!
-Bub...
I don't want you to go!
Can't you stay?
I don't want you to go.
Nanna see you soon,
okay?
You look out for that Moogai,
my baby girl.
Don't tell her that.
Come on, Chloe.
Hey, don't you listen to her,
okay?
But, Mummy,
I already talked to him before.
That man with the long arms.
He's not scary. I like him.
-Stop lying!
-You're hurting me!
There is no man
with long hands.
She's putting stuff
in your head.
Nanny Ruth doesn't lie.
Mummy, you're hurting me!
-She's just a crazy old lady!
-Let me go!
She's not your real nan
and she's not my real mother.
Let me go!
Mum.
What for? Like, superstition
or something?
Yeah.
I told her she couldn't do it.
Was I wrong?
God no.
Regardless of
anyone else's beliefs,
it's your house
and you make the rules.
Mum?
Mmm?
Is there something wrong
with me?
Your father and I
thought you were perfect
when you were brought to us.
And you're perfect now.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Yes.
This'll come out all right.
Oh, darling.
Hey... everything's fine.
How's Chloe?
Welcome to the world
of mothers and daughters.
I'll go and see
how this little pumpkin is.
Thanks, Mum.
Come on. Can you hurry up?
Okay.
-Here we go. In there.
-Bye, Mummy.
- Bye, baby, bye.
- Come on in.
-Sarah?
-Yeah.
-Could I grab five minutes?
-Yeah, of course.
So, are you all right?
I mean, how are things at home?
Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm fine.
Just a bit under pressure
since the little man
came into the world.
I mean, that's to be expected.
I heard the birth
was difficult.
Where did you hear that?
Fergus and I were talking, just
about how things were going
when he dropped Chloe off
the other day.
Um... okay.
Well, if there's anything
we can do to support you
or anything,
you just let us know, yeah?
No.
Bye, baby.
-Hey, stranger.
-Hey.
Becky, it's 11 a.m.
Oh, well, you know
the old saying.
No.
Who gives a rat's arse
about the time?
But, seriously,
he's incompetent.
I don't even know
why he's there.
Oh, why do you have to be
so mean?
I'm not being anything,
I'm speaking the truth.
Why are you defending him?
I'm not defending him.
He's just...
Just what?
Just...
...not me.
Yes! See? Exactly. Truth.
Okay, now,
the real reason I'm here.
There's an opportunity at work
if you come back sooner
rather than later.
-What's that?
-The Featherstone acquisition.
What do you think?
-I think wow.
-And what do you think
about putting me on
as your right hand?
I think yes.
Okay. Here's what I'm thinking.
Now, I know you like Brett,
or don't hate him
like I do or whatever,
but we have to get rid of him,
at least sideline him.
He's been sniffing around this
acquisition since you left.
And I know...
Sorry.
I just want to see
if he stops crying.
-The baby?
-Yeah.
Is he crying right now?
Can't you hear that?
All good?
Yeah. He's fine.
Shit! What's the time?
I've got to get Chloe!
Wish I went to a school
this fancy when I was a kid.
Chloe goes to
an all-girls Catholic school?
-Hey, I turned out all right.
-Yeah, you did.
Oh, wait, I gotta get this.
Mummy!
Chloe's had a really great day,
but I just wanted
to talk to you
about some of the bruises
on her arm.
Excuse me?
Have you been drinking?
I had a glass of wine
with a girlfriend.
Well, I can't let Chloe go.
I'm not allowed
to let any child leave
with an intoxicated parent.
I am not intoxicated.
-Come on, baby.
-Yes, you are.
-No, I'm not!
-Mr Norton!
She was intoxicated.
And it's up to my discretion,
right?
She's never given me
any problems before.
How about getting
my story first?
I'm the one who's been wronged.
She made me drop my baby.
How can I make you
drop your baby?
-What did you say to me?
-So, what happened, ma'am?
My friend came to visit me.
We had a couple of
glasses of wine - with lunch.
We came here
to pick up my daughter.
And this teacher
made a snap judgement
and now she's casting
aspersions on my character.
Is this true, ma'am?
Did you both share
a glass of wine over lunch?
Uh, no, that's not correct.
I... I wasn't drinking.
Breath-test her.
Sarah, don't be ridiculous.
Oh, so you believe her,
but you don't believe me?
Ma'am,
as I explained--
No, I don't think so.
Come on, Chloe.
-You're hurting me again.
-Let her go
or this will be
a criminal matter.
You do not want to end up
in court opposite me.
If you touch me, it'll be
assault on an officer.
What happens
when you touch me?
If you don't calm
down, I will arrest you--
Babe, what's... what's...
what's goin' on?
Wait for me in the car.
Come on. Come on, bub.
Why did you lie?
Because I just--
Why did you fucking lie?
-I just--
-Why did you fucking lie?!
Because I can't have
police records
saying I was drink-driving
during work hours.
I could be fired.
I'm not like you.
Sarah, come on! Can you see
where I'm coming from?
Sarah!
Why didn't you stick up for me?
As soon as I say something,
I'm the angry black man.
Nek minnit,
they be looking at my record.
Oh, that was a lifetime ago,
Fergus.
Yeah, they don't care.
Did you tell
that prissy dickhead
that I was having
a difficult time with Jacob?
I told her that
it wasn't an easy birth.
But in my defence,
I didn't know it was a secret.
Don't get smart with me,
Fergus.
You made me look like an
idiot in front of that bitch.
-I just told them that you--
-She tried to pity me.
She, who is one
fucking step - -
from being a nanny, pitying me!
We're taking Chloe
out of that second-rate
shit-school.
Mummy, no! I like Miss Miller.
She's my favourite.
You did say it was the best
school in the district.
Baby, you are going to thrive
wherever you are
because you can see things
those fucking troglodytes
can't even imagine.
-It's done.
-Okay.
And Becky, I--
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to put you in that position.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Babe.
I just need to feel this way
until I don't
feel this way anymore.
Jump in, baby.
He's coming for them.
Babe?
What are you doing?
I'm waiting.
For what?
The little girl
said he was coming.
What?
What girl? Chloe's here.
The other little girl.
The other little girl?
Nothing's there.
Hey, just relax.
She said he's watching us,
waiting.
For what?
For his moment.
He thinks
I'm gonna be careless.
So he can take them.
Take who?
The children.
Hey, come on.
You need to sleep.
I'm not gonna get caught out.
I'll stay up.
I'll make sure nothing happens.
Sarah?
It's okay.
I'm here now.
You need to rest.
Okay?
I'll watch over you,
I'll watch over everyone.
All right?
What do you
want to do about Chloe?
I'll look for another school.
If you need me,
call me.
Sarah.
I heard you, Fergus.
I told you, I'm fucking fine!
Ruth.
What do you want?
I just came to see
my granddaughter.
- Well, I've got a lot on, so--
- Nanny Ruth!
Hello, my baby girl!
I'll draw you,
me and Boy Boy.
Okay, baby.
Uh...
-Are you--
-I'm fine.
If one more person asks me how
I'm doing, I'm going to scream.
Are you seeing children
with white eyes?
They're the stolen ones.
The what?
The children
stolen by the Moogai.
Aggie?
Are they gone?
Yes.
Something we escape.
- Hang on!
- Don't let go!
Sometimes we don't.
Aggie!
You keep this.
It will protect you.
You can't let the Moogai in.
A little girl said some bloke
was gonna steal the kids.
- I gotta go.
- Okay, bye.
Who was that?
Oh, just the foreman.
How you feelin'?
Get it into ya. You'll feel
better after having a feed.
The foreman?
Yeah, just checking up on me.
Here you go.
Fergus, do you believe me?
Yeah, of course, babe.
Yesterday was nuts.
And forget Becky - she's not
welcome here anymore.
No. I mean, do you believe me
about the little girl?
I accept that you...
saw something.
But it's all good, babe.
I'm here for ya.
We're gonna
get through this together.
Anything else
you want me to drink?
Hm?
Mmm!
Mmm!
Delicious.
Yeah.
I think I'm gonna
go and lie down.
I'm suddenly so tired. I don't
know what's come over me.
You right?
Stop asking me that.
And get rid of that thing.
Ruth said it would keep
the bad spirits away.
It worked, didn't it?
Sarah! Here! Here! Hey!
They're in there!
They're in there!
What? What?
I don't know what's happening!
We're gonna get through this.
It's gonna be okay.
I love you. We'll
get through this together.
I'm... I'm gonna
get you some help.
-No! I don't want anyone's--
-Babe.
Get rid of it!
-But your mum said--
-She is not my mother!
She just gave birth to me.
Now throw it out!
Big bro, I've got you covered.
Ray, this is serious.
I need you
to look after my kids for me.
If there's any trouble,
ring us straightaway.
We're not going anywhere.
Quick visit to the doc
and we'll be straight back.
I'm not leaving my children.
Sare. Sister. Come here.
Come here, come here,
come here. Look, look, look.
I know I'm a disappointment
to everyone
and I might be
all about the ladies.
But...
...anyone hurts your kids...
...I'll fucking kill them.
Okay?
Uncle!
Piglet! Hello, bub.
- How have you been?
- Good.
That's good.
Have you been practising
your poker skills?
Yes.
That's good, that's good.
Then I can take your money.
I've been...
seeing things.
Okay. Like what?
A little girl.
And she's been telling me
about a man.
With long hands.
And he wants to take my kids.
I mean...
No, I-I mean...
I dreamt her, okay?
Somet-- Like...
I didn't see her, I dreamt her.
Or, sometimes, I dream of her
and sometimes I see her.
Mm-hm.
And how have you been sleeping?
Sleep-deprived people,
they can't think straight, they
can't make informed decisions,
can't maintain balance.
That's why I gave you the
medication, to even you out--
Look, fuck your medication,
all right?
I stopped taking it.
Even when you crushed those
pills and put 'em in my wine--
It was for your own good.
- For my own good?!
- Listen, listen.
It's my diagnosis
that you are exhausted,
but I think you're also
suffering from psychosis, so--
Yep, fine.
Just write the prescription.
I'd like to admit you.
Admit me?
I'd like you to stay
for a couple of days
and let's go from there.
No.
No, I am not going to leave
my children
so that the Moogai
can take them.
I understand how you feel,
but, right now, you...
...are a danger
to your children.
Fergus has mentioned
the incident.
-Oh, what the fuck, Fergus?!
-I didn't call it that.
I just told him
you were in a tough place--
Sarah, the best thing
for you right now is rest.
Now, Fergus
is your next of kin.
If he gives permission for you
to be taken into our care,
then it'll allow you
to get the rest you need.
-You set this up.
-No. No, I didn't.
Look, if you wanna go,
let's just go!
Fergus, you've done
the right thing by coming here.
This is something
that can only be treated
with modern medicine.
What are you doing, Sarah?
Hey, don't touch me!
You need to rest. All right?
-You need to rest.
-Fergus...
Fergus!
Fergus, you have to believe me!
Fergus! Protect our babies!
I know it doesn't
feel this way,
but she's in the best place
she can be.
- Come on.
- The Moogai is coming
for my children!
Watch them, Fergus!
Don't you let them
out of your sight!
Keep them with you!
Stay with them!
No, Mummy's resting
at the hospital.
But Kitty's here.
She'll keep you warm.
Sleep now.
And Uncle Ray Boy
will make you pancakes
in the morning for breakfast.
Okay.
Let me out!
Let me out!
He's coming for them!
Now you can stop fighting.
Chloe! Wake up! Chloe!
Chloe!
Come on, baby.
Go downstairs, jump in the car.
No, you hang up.
No, you hang up.
What--
Oh, wait, wait, wait there,
lovely one.
Fergus.
This place is empty.
You wanna come over?
Wait here, bub.
Look after your brother, okay?
Visiting hours
are over, sweetheart.
I know, but I signed my wife
in here earlier today
and I'd like to sign her out
now, please.
- Sarah Bishop?
- Yeah, that's her.
Is there something
I need to sign?
No, because
she can't leave.
She stays here until she's been
seen by a supervising--
-But I changed my mind.
-I understand that, sweetie,
but she can't leave.
Wait here, baby.
I'm gonna get Mummy, okay?
Watch them.
-Young man!
-Watch them.
Young man!
You can't be in here!
If you don't leave,
you will be escorted out.
I'm calling the police.
Sarah!
Sarah!
Fergus.
Oi.
What are you doing?
Fergus?
Sarah! Sarah!
I'm so sorry.
I should've believed you
no matter what.
Where are the kids?
Come on.
Ruth, it's real.
The Moogai's real.
It's after us.
I've got Sarah and the kids.
We're coming to you.
Yeah, we're on our way. We're
driving up to your place now.
I know we'll be safe there.
One of us should stay awake.
You sleep.
I will.
Wake me up
if you get too tired.
Clo?
Fergus?
She's gone!
Chloe!
Chloe!
- Chloe!
- Chloe!
Babe! Babe!
Oh, no, no.
Chloe! Chloe!
Oi!
Oi!
Fergus!
Baby.
Baby. What are you
doing out here?
We'll be there just after dark.
We just need to get to Ruth's.
She'll protect us.
Fergie. Yes,
you're close. But hurry up.
It will follow you, son.
It won't stop now.
You need to get here
before dark.
Yeah, I will.
...allegedly helped
his wife break out of
a mental health facility...
Hurry up, baby.
...they are
considered dangerous
and not to be approached...
You look familiar.
Do I know you?
Nah.
You sure?
Can't place the face.
You one of the local Blacks--
No, uh, Indig--
You local?
Not really.
I'm not from around here.
What, you play
football or something, do ya?
Nah. I'm just a lowly tradie.
Oh, half ya luck.
Uh, what's your name?
Mate, he asked ya,
what's your name?
So...
...what's your name?
...it's believed
that they are also travelling
with their two children...
He'll get them now.
He's here.
Don't move!
Stay down, mate!
Don't move.
Hey, lady. Lady!
Mummy, me and Jacob
have to go now.
Hm?
- No! No!
- Mummy.
He's gonna take care of us.
-No!
-Mummy!
You are not going to
get my children!
Mum, he's going to
take care of us.
Jacob!
Please!
He's gone, Mummy.
I'm gonna go with him.
No.
My baby, stay with me.
Stay with Mummy.
No, baby.
Chloe!
You're not taking my children.
Fergus!
Help me.
Chloe!
Fergus...
Help me...
Oh, my darlin'.
- He took Jacob.
- I know.
-He took my baby.
-I know.
He took Jacob.
I'm sorry.
I judged you.
I thought you were
less than me.
I didn't understand.
Please forgive me.
I forgive you, my baby.
All right, bub.
Jump out
so we can help your mum up.
Come on.
Push through the pain.
Here.
We're here.
Jacob's down there.
What about Chloe?
She comes with us.
She's part of this too.
Mm-hm.
Are you sure
we're safe?
It's sleeping.
He's here.
This is where our babies
came into the world.
This is where
we'll make our stand.
You lay down here with him.
You need to rest.
It's gonna be a long night.
Come on, my baby girl.
We've got work to do.
All the children
the Moogai has stolen.
Who is she? I've seen her.
She's been haunting me,
bringing the Moogai to me.
That's my sister.
Your Aunty Agnes.
She's been protecting you.
You've all endured...
...so much.
The Moogai won't
be able to see them now.
But you'll have to lure it
into the circle.
Take Jacob.
- Okay.
- That's it.
Here, Boy Boy.
Stick. Stick.
The stick.
Dig deep. Deeper.
Even deeper. That's it.
That's it.
Shh.
Run! Run! Go and hide!
Oh!
Argh!
I've been bitten!
I'm sorry.
No.
Argh!
Mummy, help me!
No!
He's here.
Mummy!
- No!
- Hey!
You wanna see something scary?
Don't go.
Please.
I'm...
I'm so sorry
for not keeping you safe.
You found me out there.
You brought me home.
I should've done more for you.
I'm... I'm sorry.
I love you, my girl.
I love you...
Mum.
Did you hear that?
Hear what, baby?
Come on.

This story's right
This story's true
I would not tell
Lies to you
Like the promises
They did not keep
And how they fenced us in
Like sheep
Said to us
"Come, take our hand"
Set us up on mission land
Taught us to read
To write and pray
Then they took
the children away
Took the children away
The children away
Snatched from
Their mother's breast
Said "This is for the best"
Took them away
The welfare
And the policeman
Said
"You've got to understand
"We'll give to them
What you can't give
"Teach them how
To really live"
"Teach them how to live"
They said
Humiliated them instead
Taught them that
And taught them this
And others taught them
Prejudice
You took the children away
The children away
Breaking
Their mother's heart
Tearing us all apart
Took them away
One dark day on Framlingham
Came and didn't give a damn
My mother cried
"Go get their dad"
He came running
Fighting mad
Mother's tears
Were falling down
And Dad shaped up
And stood his ground
He said, "You touch my kids
And you fight me"
And they took us
From our family
Took us away
They took us away...

Run!
Good morning, Mrs. Campbell.
We need to speak
with your husband.
Is he around?
He's out doing an honest day's
of work, but you knew that.
You only come here
when the men are gone.
Where's your lovely girls?
None of ya business.
You're trespassing.
You know that?
The Mission Manager
gave us approval.
Kids are hiding, are they?
Maybe,
but I wouldn't go
looking for 'em if I was you.
There's all sorts of things
hidin' in dark places
around here.
Things that we know
and you don't.
Gubba man! Run!
Oi!
Oi!
Get the girl.
I'll get the boy.
Where are ya?
What have you got, mate?
I reckon she's in there.
Well, righto,
go on and get her.
Go on.
Nah.
Nah, I don't think so.
-Let's call it a day, hey?
-Sure.
Come on.
Aggie?
I'd like to celebrate
this coming together
of our two great companies.
My new best mate,
Victor Finlay.
But also, the woman--
sorry, the person
who has done the most
to close this deal -
Sarah Bishop.
She kept us both
coming back to the table
even when we were too stubborn.
Hey, Vic?
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Thank you...
- 'Woman slash person'.
'Slash person'!
Hi, Brett.
Helluva job, Sarah.
Mm. Thanks, Brett.
Hey, you would've gotten there.
Yeah, maybe.
They couldn't resist helping
a pregnant woman.
Keep telling yourself that,
champ.
It's, uh, not what's down
there, it's what's up here.
Yeah, buddy. Just man up.
Take the L.
Take it like a...
you know... like a man.
Mmm.
Ugh.
Hey, Becky. Becky!
I think they're lining you up
for bigger things.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
Just take my word for it,
they are.
Now drink up -
we're celebrating.
I can't drink alcohol.
Oh, it's just a sip.
Hey, how's it going with your,
uh... what do you call her?
-Your birth mother?
-Mm, all right, I guess.
Oh, it's a little bit weird.
I always wondered
what she was like,
but I never expected... her.
How so?
I dunno, she keeps telling
Chloe these Dreamtimey stories.
We've got nothing in common.
And she lives
up near the border
so it's not like
I can just tell her to go home.
But Fergus loves her.
House on fire, those two.
Well, you gotta dump him.
Husbands getting on
with their mothers-in-law?
First sign of the apocalypse.
Oh, speaking of
the apocalypse...
Need a lift?
Thanks, my girl.
This is Becky.
Hello, bub.
What have you got there?
Looks heaps heavy.
Just something to cook
for Sarah tonight.
Be good for your blood.
For you and the baby.
Oh. Thanks... Ruth.
Hey, got ya now. You got
nothin'.
Hey, babe.
Hey.
Hey, Becky.
-Hey.
-This is my brother, Ray Boy.
Delighted to make
your acquaintance.
I... am Ray.
Ray Boy.
No, it's just Ray,
the Boy is silent.
You might wanna get a shot,
Becky - he's got the hep.
Oh, charming.
-How'd the merger go, babe?
-Yeah, not too bad.
Uh, she's being modest.
It was huge, and it would've
completely fallen over
if it wasn't for
our Little Miss Fixit here.
I knew I married up.
That was smart of me.
Yeah, good stuff, Sare.
Becky, um, are you a merging
company business lawyer too?
It's called Corporate Law,
Agent Dipshit.
Mummy!
I drew you a picture.
- Ooh!
- Hey...
Agh!
- Argh!
- Mummy?
- Sarah!
- You right?
Come on, babe.
Bub, it's all right.
Everything will be all right.
Babe.
- I'm right here, babe.
- She's bleeding.
We've got
a placental abruption.
I want
an immediate IV line in.
- Get ready to transfuse.
- She's losing blood.
Catch up, people. Is it in?
-Give me an answer.
-Yes, Doctor.
Going into
cardiac shock!
Hold her down. I need
to get the baby out uninjured.
Baby straight to the ICU.
That's flatline.
Cardiac Resus. Defib
and another blood bag.
Start the code.
Get rid
of the transfuse.
Come on now. Are you in?
Blood bag?
Start the code.
Stand clear.
- Come on.
- Quickly.
- Clear!
Clear!
Shh.
-What a beautiful boy.
-Yeah.
Sare.
Whoa, sorry. This is
far too many visitors.
You're all gonna have to go.
Fergus, you can stay, mate.
And Sarah's mum, eh?
Yeah, of course.
I-I... I meant Ruth.
Well, whoever your mum is,
she can stay.
Fergus,
can I see you in the hallway
for a second, mate?
Now, you need to do everything
for her, mate.
She needs total rest.
It's a miracle
they're both still alive.
Um...
Uh, even though
they're fine now,
there are all sorts
of flow-on effects
-from something like this.
-Yeah. Ca... cardio, um...?
Well, cardiac arrest, yes.
But, I mean...
the stress of the body
basically rebooting itself.
She died on that table. There's
no telling what comes next.
You understand
what I'm saying?
Good man.
All right, now you
take it easy, please, Sarah.
Mm-hm.
I'll check on you later. Okay?
They've got jobs.
He's a carpenter.
She's a lawyer.
I know... they've got jobs.
They're both very good at them.
Sorry, Dr. Barnes.
And thank you for everything.
No, you're welcome.
I'll see you in a bit.
What was that about?
Nobody or nothing
better try take this baby.
My sister was stolen.
That was years ago.
Besides,
hospitals don't steal babies.
You were taken from me
from a hospital.
Whose fault was that?
I suppose the government
said it was mine.
Anyway, daught...
...it had to be spoken.
Wake up!
Do you guys
want an omelette?
- My favourite!
- Oh, I would love one.
Why did Jacob
take so long?
Babies come
when they're ready.
We can't rush them.
Okay.
Babe? Babe! Sarah.
Sarah, what's wrong?
You feeling all right?
Did you drop 'em?
Sorry. I... I must be tired.
Why don't you call Ruth?
Come give you a hand while
you get back on your feet.
I don't need Ruth to tell me
how to cook eggs.
I'll finish breakfast.
Nah, I'll do it.
-No, babe, I'm fine.
-Babe, seriously.
It's all good. I'll do it.
Here.
Take this bloke.
Me and sissy'll do it.
-Sister?
-Yes.
Wanna help Daddy
cook breakfast?
Yes!
- You right?
- Yeah.
I'll stay.
No. You go to work. I'm fine.
Anyway, someone has to
keep this family
in the lap of luxury.
Yeah, right. I wish I made
your kind of money.
Hey, you play
your cards right,
I'll leave you everything
in my will.
Get outta here!
Then I'm gonna do that,
and then do one,
then just a bit on that one...
You look after Jacob
so he doesn't get lost.
Now I'll get the tea
and the water.
Can you hold the cups?
Where's your brother?
Oh, my God!
It's all right.
Shh, shh, shh.
Why did you do that?
I didn't.
There'll be no lying
in this house.
Now, don't pick him up.
Do you understand?
Chloe, I asked you a question.
-I said, do you understand?
-Yes!
Sister, tell Daddy
the truth.
Sister?
I didn't move Jacob, Daddy.
It's all right, bub.
Come here.
I'll tell you what,
I'll clean up
and Chloe will help me, eh?
Yes, Daddy.
And if you need to,
go and have a rest, babe.
Yeah.
Hello?
Little girl... are you lost?
He's coming.
Hey.
You right?
Yeah.
I think I... just...
...had a bad dream.
Oh, babe. Come over here
and sit down here with us.
Do you want to ring your mu--
uh, Ruth?
-Can you stop with that?
-Yep.
Daddy,
do you have to go?
Daddy has to
go to work, Clo.
Love you, Daddy.
Bye, baby.
She'll come round.
- Just really tired.
- Mm-hm.
Finding it a little bit hard
to get back up after this one.
I suppose that's normal,
though.
Isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty normal.
Um...
I'm gonna give you
something to help you sleep.
Oh, no, I just need something
to give me a bit of a boost.
A good night's sleep
will give you a boost.
Mummy, can I sleep in here?
'Course, baby. Come on.
Sarah,
I've got to go to work.
Or do you want me to stay?
Sarah.
No. Go.
Here, good boy.
-I'll see you this arvo.
-Mm-hm.
You up?
I'm up!
Hey.
Shh, shh, shh.
Hey. Hey.
What game
do you like to play?
That's my favourite.
My mum would never
let me play it,
but we could sneak it.
But I live here.
What's your favourite?
What do you mean?
He's watching you.
Oh, my God. Ruth.
-You scared me.
-Hello, bub.
Hurting less and less each day,
but I'm feeling
more tired each day, too.
And you trust that whitefella?
Well, he's a doctor.
Just askin'.
And to what do I owe
this pleasure?
Hmm?
Well, I thought you were going
back up to where you're from.
What's brought you here?
What's brought me here?
I'm just saying,
why are you here?
Yay!
Uh, we can't do a smokey thingy
in here.
Why not?
The smoke detectors
will go off.
We'll get fined
thousands of dollars
if the fire department turn up
and there's no fire.
-Well, take the batteries out.
-No.
I'm not going to disable
the alarm system in my home
for some bloody...
superstition.
Mummy!
Well, can I put some ochre
around the place?
What are you doing?
You're staining the wall.
Can I put some on Jacob?
Can we, please, Mummy?
Yes, but make it quick.
- Yay!
- Okay.
Here.
Ruth!
In the name of Jesus Christ!
He just needs to swallow some.
You can't feed a baby dirt.
-Sarah, just listen to me--
-I'll have some, Nanny Ruth.
I want to be safe.
Look, you have to go. I can't
have this stuff in my home.
- Sarah, just listen--
- No, Ruth.
I'm sorry.
I'm asking you to leave.
-Nanny Ruth, don't go!
-Bub...
I don't want you to go!
Can't you stay?
I don't want you to go.
Nanna see you soon,
okay?
You look out for that Moogai,
my baby girl.
Don't tell her that.
Come on, Chloe.
Hey, don't you listen to her,
okay?
But, Mummy,
I already talked to him before.
That man with the long arms.
He's not scary. I like him.
-Stop lying!
-You're hurting me!
There is no man
with long hands.
She's putting stuff
in your head.
Nanny Ruth doesn't lie.
Mummy, you're hurting me!
-She's just a crazy old lady!
-Let me go!
She's not your real nan
and she's not my real mother.
Let me go!
Mum.
What for? Like, superstition
or something?
Yeah.
I told her she couldn't do it.
Was I wrong?
God no.
Regardless of
anyone else's beliefs,
it's your house
and you make the rules.
Mum?
Mmm?
Is there something wrong
with me?
Your father and I
thought you were perfect
when you were brought to us.
And you're perfect now.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Yes.
This'll come out all right.
Oh, darling.
Hey... everything's fine.
How's Chloe?
Welcome to the world
of mothers and daughters.
I'll go and see
how this little pumpkin is.
Thanks, Mum.
Come on. Can you hurry up?
Okay.
-Here we go. In there.
-Bye, Mummy.
- Bye, baby, bye.
- Come on in.
-Sarah?
-Yeah.
-Could I grab five minutes?
-Yeah, of course.
So, are you all right?
I mean, how are things at home?
Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm fine.
Just a bit under pressure
since the little man
came into the world.
I mean, that's to be expected.
I heard the birth
was difficult.
Where did you hear that?
Fergus and I were talking, just
about how things were going
when he dropped Chloe off
the other day.
Um... okay.
Well, if there's anything
we can do to support you
or anything,
you just let us know, yeah?
No.
Bye, baby.
-Hey, stranger.
-Hey.
Becky, it's 11 a.m.
Oh, well, you know
the old saying.
No.
Who gives a rat's arse
about the time?
But, seriously,
he's incompetent.
I don't even know
why he's there.
Oh, why do you have to be
so mean?
I'm not being anything,
I'm speaking the truth.
Why are you defending him?
I'm not defending him.
He's just...
Just what?
Just...
...not me.
Yes! See? Exactly. Truth.
Okay, now,
the real reason I'm here.
There's an opportunity at work
if you come back sooner
rather than later.
-What's that?
-The Featherstone acquisition.
What do you think?
-I think wow.
-And what do you think
about putting me on
as your right hand?
I think yes.
Okay. Here's what I'm thinking.
Now, I know you like Brett,
or don't hate him
like I do or whatever,
but we have to get rid of him,
at least sideline him.
He's been sniffing around this
acquisition since you left.
And I know...
Sorry.
I just want to see
if he stops crying.
-The baby?
-Yeah.
Is he crying right now?
Can't you hear that?
All good?
Yeah. He's fine.
Shit! What's the time?
I've got to get Chloe!
Wish I went to a school
this fancy when I was a kid.
Chloe goes to
an all-girls Catholic school?
-Hey, I turned out all right.
-Yeah, you did.
Oh, wait, I gotta get this.
Mummy!
Chloe's had a really great day,
but I just wanted
to talk to you
about some of the bruises
on her arm.
Excuse me?
Have you been drinking?
I had a glass of wine
with a girlfriend.
Well, I can't let Chloe go.
I'm not allowed
to let any child leave
with an intoxicated parent.
I am not intoxicated.
-Come on, baby.
-Yes, you are.
-No, I'm not!
-Mr Norton!
She was intoxicated.
And it's up to my discretion,
right?
She's never given me
any problems before.
How about getting
my story first?
I'm the one who's been wronged.
She made me drop my baby.
How can I make you
drop your baby?
-What did you say to me?
-So, what happened, ma'am?
My friend came to visit me.
We had a couple of
glasses of wine - with lunch.
We came here
to pick up my daughter.
And this teacher
made a snap judgement
and now she's casting
aspersions on my character.
Is this true, ma'am?
Did you both share
a glass of wine over lunch?
Uh, no, that's not correct.
I... I wasn't drinking.
Breath-test her.
Sarah, don't be ridiculous.
Oh, so you believe her,
but you don't believe me?
Ma'am,
as I explained--
No, I don't think so.
Come on, Chloe.
-You're hurting me again.
-Let her go
or this will be
a criminal matter.
You do not want to end up
in court opposite me.
If you touch me, it'll be
assault on an officer.
What happens
when you touch me?
If you don't calm
down, I will arrest you--
Babe, what's... what's...
what's goin' on?
Wait for me in the car.
Come on. Come on, bub.
Why did you lie?
Because I just--
Why did you fucking lie?
-I just--
-Why did you fucking lie?!
Because I can't have
police records
saying I was drink-driving
during work hours.
I could be fired.
I'm not like you.
Sarah, come on! Can you see
where I'm coming from?
Sarah!
Why didn't you stick up for me?
As soon as I say something,
I'm the angry black man.
Nek minnit,
they be looking at my record.
Oh, that was a lifetime ago,
Fergus.
Yeah, they don't care.
Did you tell
that prissy dickhead
that I was having
a difficult time with Jacob?
I told her that
it wasn't an easy birth.
But in my defence,
I didn't know it was a secret.
Don't get smart with me,
Fergus.
You made me look like an
idiot in front of that bitch.
-I just told them that you--
-She tried to pity me.
She, who is one
fucking step - -
from being a nanny, pitying me!
We're taking Chloe
out of that second-rate
shit-school.
Mummy, no! I like Miss Miller.
She's my favourite.
You did say it was the best
school in the district.
Baby, you are going to thrive
wherever you are
because you can see things
those fucking troglodytes
can't even imagine.
-It's done.
-Okay.
And Becky, I--
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to put you in that position.
Sarah.
Sarah.
Babe.
I just need to feel this way
until I don't
feel this way anymore.
Jump in, baby.
He's coming for them.
Babe?
What are you doing?
I'm waiting.
For what?
The little girl
said he was coming.
What?
What girl? Chloe's here.
The other little girl.
The other little girl?
Nothing's there.
Hey, just relax.
She said he's watching us,
waiting.
For what?
For his moment.
He thinks
I'm gonna be careless.
So he can take them.
Take who?
The children.
Hey, come on.
You need to sleep.
I'm not gonna get caught out.
I'll stay up.
I'll make sure nothing happens.
Sarah?
It's okay.
I'm here now.
You need to rest.
Okay?
I'll watch over you,
I'll watch over everyone.
All right?
What do you
want to do about Chloe?
I'll look for another school.
If you need me,
call me.
Sarah.
I heard you, Fergus.
I told you, I'm fucking fine!
Ruth.
What do you want?
I just came to see
my granddaughter.
- Well, I've got a lot on, so--
- Nanny Ruth!
Hello, my baby girl!
I'll draw you,
me and Boy Boy.
Okay, baby.
Uh...
-Are you--
-I'm fine.
If one more person asks me how
I'm doing, I'm going to scream.
Are you seeing children
with white eyes?
They're the stolen ones.
The what?
The children
stolen by the Moogai.
Aggie?
Are they gone?
Yes.
Something we escape.
- Hang on!
- Don't let go!
Sometimes we don't.
Aggie!
You keep this.
It will protect you.
You can't let the Moogai in.
A little girl said some bloke
was gonna steal the kids.
- I gotta go.
- Okay, bye.
Who was that?
Oh, just the foreman.
How you feelin'?
Get it into ya. You'll feel
better after having a feed.
The foreman?
Yeah, just checking up on me.
Here you go.
Fergus, do you believe me?
Yeah, of course, babe.
Yesterday was nuts.
And forget Becky - she's not
welcome here anymore.
No. I mean, do you believe me
about the little girl?
I accept that you...
saw something.
But it's all good, babe.
I'm here for ya.
We're gonna
get through this together.
Anything else
you want me to drink?
Hm?
Mmm!
Mmm!
Delicious.
Yeah.
I think I'm gonna
go and lie down.
I'm suddenly so tired. I don't
know what's come over me.
You right?
Stop asking me that.
And get rid of that thing.
Ruth said it would keep
the bad spirits away.
It worked, didn't it?
Sarah! Here! Here! Hey!
They're in there!
They're in there!
What? What?
I don't know what's happening!
We're gonna get through this.
It's gonna be okay.
I love you. We'll
get through this together.
I'm... I'm gonna
get you some help.
-No! I don't want anyone's--
-Babe.
Get rid of it!
-But your mum said--
-She is not my mother!
She just gave birth to me.
Now throw it out!
Big bro, I've got you covered.
Ray, this is serious.
I need you
to look after my kids for me.
If there's any trouble,
ring us straightaway.
We're not going anywhere.
Quick visit to the doc
and we'll be straight back.
I'm not leaving my children.
Sare. Sister. Come here.
Come here, come here,
come here. Look, look, look.
I know I'm a disappointment
to everyone
and I might be
all about the ladies.
But...
...anyone hurts your kids...
...I'll fucking kill them.
Okay?
Uncle!
Piglet! Hello, bub.
- How have you been?
- Good.
That's good.
Have you been practising
your poker skills?
Yes.
That's good, that's good.
Then I can take your money.
I've been...
seeing things.
Okay. Like what?
A little girl.
And she's been telling me
about a man.
With long hands.
And he wants to take my kids.
I mean...
No, I-I mean...
I dreamt her, okay?
Somet-- Like...
I didn't see her, I dreamt her.
Or, sometimes, I dream of her
and sometimes I see her.
Mm-hm.
And how have you been sleeping?
Sleep-deprived people,
they can't think straight, they
can't make informed decisions,
can't maintain balance.
That's why I gave you the
medication, to even you out--
Look, fuck your medication,
all right?
I stopped taking it.
Even when you crushed those
pills and put 'em in my wine--
It was for your own good.
- For my own good?!
- Listen, listen.
It's my diagnosis
that you are exhausted,
but I think you're also
suffering from psychosis, so--
Yep, fine.
Just write the prescription.
I'd like to admit you.
Admit me?
I'd like you to stay
for a couple of days
and let's go from there.
No.
No, I am not going to leave
my children
so that the Moogai
can take them.
I understand how you feel,
but, right now, you...
...are a danger
to your children.
Fergus has mentioned
the incident.
-Oh, what the fuck, Fergus?!
-I didn't call it that.
I just told him
you were in a tough place--
Sarah, the best thing
for you right now is rest.
Now, Fergus
is your next of kin.
If he gives permission for you
to be taken into our care,
then it'll allow you
to get the rest you need.
-You set this up.
-No. No, I didn't.
Look, if you wanna go,
let's just go!
Fergus, you've done
the right thing by coming here.
This is something
that can only be treated
with modern medicine.
What are you doing, Sarah?
Hey, don't touch me!
You need to rest. All right?
-You need to rest.
-Fergus...
Fergus!
Fergus, you have to believe me!
Fergus! Protect our babies!
I know it doesn't
feel this way,
but she's in the best place
she can be.
- Come on.
- The Moogai is coming
for my children!
Watch them, Fergus!
Don't you let them
out of your sight!
Keep them with you!
Stay with them!
No, Mummy's resting
at the hospital.
But Kitty's here.
She'll keep you warm.
Sleep now.
And Uncle Ray Boy
will make you pancakes
in the morning for breakfast.
Okay.
Let me out!
Let me out!
He's coming for them!
Now you can stop fighting.
Chloe! Wake up! Chloe!
Chloe!
Come on, baby.
Go downstairs, jump in the car.
No, you hang up.
No, you hang up.
What--
Oh, wait, wait, wait there,
lovely one.
Fergus.
This place is empty.
You wanna come over?
Wait here, bub.
Look after your brother, okay?
Visiting hours
are over, sweetheart.
I know, but I signed my wife
in here earlier today
and I'd like to sign her out
now, please.
- Sarah Bishop?
- Yeah, that's her.
Is there something
I need to sign?
No, because
she can't leave.
She stays here until she's been
seen by a supervising--
-But I changed my mind.
-I understand that, sweetie,
but she can't leave.
Wait here, baby.
I'm gonna get Mummy, okay?
Watch them.
-Young man!
-Watch them.
Young man!
You can't be in here!
If you don't leave,
you will be escorted out.
I'm calling the police.
Sarah!
Sarah!
Fergus.
Oi.
What are you doing?
Fergus?
Sarah! Sarah!
I'm so sorry.
I should've believed you
no matter what.
Where are the kids?
Come on.
Ruth, it's real.
The Moogai's real.
It's after us.
I've got Sarah and the kids.
We're coming to you.
Yeah, we're on our way. We're
driving up to your place now.
I know we'll be safe there.
One of us should stay awake.
You sleep.
I will.
Wake me up
if you get too tired.
Clo?
Fergus?
She's gone!
Chloe!
Chloe!
- Chloe!
- Chloe!
Babe! Babe!
Oh, no, no.
Chloe! Chloe!
Oi!
Oi!
Fergus!
Baby.
Baby. What are you
doing out here?
We'll be there just after dark.
We just need to get to Ruth's.
She'll protect us.
Fergie. Yes,
you're close. But hurry up.
It will follow you, son.
It won't stop now.
You need to get here
before dark.
Yeah, I will.
...allegedly helped
his wife break out of
a mental health facility...
Hurry up, baby.
...they are
considered dangerous
and not to be approached...
You look familiar.
Do I know you?
Nah.
You sure?
Can't place the face.
You one of the local Blacks--
No, uh, Indig--
You local?
Not really.
I'm not from around here.
What, you play
football or something, do ya?
Nah. I'm just a lowly tradie.
Oh, half ya luck.
Uh, what's your name?
Mate, he asked ya,
what's your name?
So...
...what's your name?
...it's believed
that they are also travelling
with their two children...
He'll get them now.
He's here.
Don't move!
Stay down, mate!
Don't move.
Hey, lady. Lady!
Mummy, me and Jacob
have to go now.
Hm?
- No! No!
- Mummy.
He's gonna take care of us.
-No!
-Mummy!
You are not going to
get my children!
Mum, he's going to
take care of us.
Jacob!
Please!
He's gone, Mummy.
I'm gonna go with him.
No.
My baby, stay with me.
Stay with Mummy.
No, baby.
Chloe!
You're not taking my children.
Fergus!
Help me.
Chloe!
Fergus...
Help me...
Oh, my darlin'.
- He took Jacob.
- I know.
-He took my baby.
-I know.
He took Jacob.
I'm sorry.
I judged you.
I thought you were
less than me.
I didn't understand.
Please forgive me.
I forgive you, my baby.
All right, bub.
Jump out
so we can help your mum up.
Come on.
Push through the pain.
Here.
We're here.
Jacob's down there.
What about Chloe?
She comes with us.
She's part of this too.
Mm-hm.
Are you sure
we're safe?
It's sleeping.
He's here.
This is where our babies
came into the world.
This is where
we'll make our stand.
You lay down here with him.
You need to rest.
It's gonna be a long night.
Come on, my baby girl.
We've got work to do.
All the children
the Moogai has stolen.
Who is she? I've seen her.
She's been haunting me,
bringing the Moogai to me.
That's my sister.
Your Aunty Agnes.
She's been protecting you.
You've all endured...
...so much.
The Moogai won't
be able to see them now.
But you'll have to lure it
into the circle.
Take Jacob.
- Okay.
- That's it.
Here, Boy Boy.
Stick. Stick.
The stick.
Dig deep. Deeper.
Even deeper. That's it.
That's it.
Shh.
Run! Run! Go and hide!
Oh!
Argh!
I've been bitten!
I'm sorry.
No.
Argh!
Mummy, help me!
No!
He's here.
Mummy!
- No!
- Hey!
You wanna see something scary?
Don't go.
Please.
I'm...
I'm so sorry
for not keeping you safe.
You found me out there.
You brought me home.
I should've done more for you.
I'm... I'm sorry.
I love you, my girl.
I love you...
Mum.
Did you hear that?
Hear what, baby?
Come on.
Little fishies
Run for the water
Don't take
This little fishy's hand
Tell them
All about our story
Sing it
So that they all know
Little fishies
Swimming in the river
Little fishies
Grow legs for the land
Let's do it again.
Little fishies
Swimming in this river
Little fishies
Grow legs for the land
Little fishies
Run for the water
Don't take
This little fishy's hand
Tell them
All about our story
Sing it
So that they all know
Little fishies
Swimming in this river
For years and years
We watched them grow
Little fishies
Swimming in the river
Little fishies
Grow legs for the land
Little fishies
Run for the water
Don't take
This little fishy's hand
Tell them
All about our story
Sing it
So that they all know
Little fishies
Swimming in the river
Little fishies
Grow legs for the land.
This story's right
This story's true
I would not tell
Lies to you
Like the promises
They did not keep
And how they fenced us in
Like sheep
Said to us
"Come, take our hand"
Set us up on mission land
Taught us to read
To write and pray
Then they took
the children away
Took the children away
The children away
Snatched from
Their mother's breast
Said "This is for the best"
Took them away
The welfare
And the policeman
Said
"You've got to understand
"We'll give to them
What you can't give
"Teach them how
To really live"
"Teach them how to live"
They said
Humiliated them instead
Taught them that
And taught them this
And others taught them
Prejudice
You took the children away
The children away
Breaking
Their mother's heart
Tearing us all apart
Took them away
One dark day on Framlingham
Came and didn't give a damn
My mother cried
"Go get their dad"
He came running
Fighting mad
Mother's tears
Were falling down
And Dad shaped up
And stood his ground
He said, "You touch my kids
And you fight me"
And they took us
From our family
Took us away
They took us away...
