The Offing (2025) Movie Script
1
Neviah.
Mother?
Wise in all fates.
Teach me to speak in thy tongue.
So that I may hear your whispers in the wind...
And heed your warnings in the waves.
In thee, I trust to guide my way...
Through raging seas churned by the currents of time.
Past the bloodied waters of yesterday...
And into the storms to come.
You are working on an hourly rate of nineteen dollars.
But I take out $60 a day for your accommodation and food.
Hi.
That works for me.
Please don't shower for more than five minutes.
The hot water is limited here.
You'll be sharing a room with Neviah.
Hi.
Nice to meet you, I'm Freya.
Go get your things.
Neviah will get started on dinner.
It's a little light on the salt, Neviah.
Sorry.
Where'd you get that from?
My mother.
It's pretty.
So do you like working here?
Yes.
That's good.
Are you from the area?
Neviah?
I grew up in the city. What about you?
Um...No I've...
I've never been there before.
Really?
Oh.
Well you should definitely go sometime.
No, I don't think Agnes would like that very much.
Have you been working here long?
I have to get up early tomorrow,
so I should probably go to bed.
Okay.
Well, goodnight.
Sorry.
It's okay.
These tend to make me feel better after a long day.
Oh, thanks. Thank you.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Um, just a bit of homesick.
It just... it feels strange
taking out the family caravan without the family.
Does your family travel a lot?
Um, yeah, we used to...
We used to try to get out of the city.
Get some fresh air.
Although my sister was more of the outdoorsy one.
You kind of remind me of her, actually.
Do you have any siblings?
No.
Why aren't you with your family?
Um...
We lost someone.
And it just really took a toll.
I just wanted to move away from it all.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay. It's okay.
Thank you for the biscuit.
Push!
Push! Keep pushing!
The babe won't come.
Big day?
Big day.
I feel bad.
You're like out there doing all this work
and I'm in here.
Doing this.
No, it's, um... it's okay.
Every task bears equal weight.
Want one?
Thanks.
Um, well, I should probably get back outside.
Yeah.
Thank you.
The past few months have been nice with you around.
I like it here.
Yes.
Well...
I'm sure my life would have been a lot easier
if I learned to ask for help a bit earlier.
Well, you...
You've done a wonderful job with the property on your own.
You are a good worker, Neviah.
But don't get stuck here.
The isolation takes a toll.
I'm used to being alone.
That's the problem.
- Neviah needs the extra help, she does--
- You clearly have no experience on a farm.
I have no need for you here.
You'd be better off going home.
Fine.
I'm leaving.
What happened?
Agnes just decided she doesn't need my help anymore.
Freya I don't... I don't understand.
Could you, um, help me find my keys?
I just... I can't find them.
I think we all know I'm not really cut out for this kind of work.
Well, where are you gonna go?
I'll probably just find somewhere to stay tonight,
and then I'll decide from there.
Do you want to leave?
It'll be an adventure.
I'm coming with you.
Really?
It's just this...
this place reminds me too much of home, and I...
I just really want to get away from it all.
And I feel like there's just so much that I haven't seen.
And I think I need an adventure too.
Yeah.
But we shouldn't leave like this.
Okay, Freya, we need a plan.
I know somewhere nearby we could go.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Let's go.
Hold on.
-What?
-Just give me a sec, wait.
Don't go anywhere, okay?
We look to the inside...
For warmth.
For comfort.
We remain loyal to our people.
To our family.
We need not venture...
into the dangerous world beyond.
Not unless it is the will of our Mother.
It's important for us to stick together.
Chickens who stray too far from the coop...
Are too often struck by a bit of prey.
Don't drift too far.
Don't leave.
Okay, sorry,
I almost forgot my toiletries.
You know it's gonna get dark soon, Freya.
Mhmm
Do you know where we're going?
Why don't we just see where the road takes us?
I just feel like we should have
maybe thought this through more.
We'll be fine.
We just....
We just need to go with the flow.
Her blood has flowed.
But barren are her eyes.
And if the eyes cannot serve the cause.
Then the womb must.
Fine.
I'll go get the map.
Okay.
So... Where should we go next?
Um, I-
I don't know what the options are.
We could stay here, for a few more days.
Somewhere with work.
Well, look, we can find work anywhere,
but I have money saved up to keep us going for a couple months--
Yeah, Freya, I...
I really think we should find somewhere with work.
Okay.
But I really want a break.
Okay, um, we could...
go up to the mountains.
Or...
a town nearby?
Um...
I mean, maybe we could go somewhere near the city?
That way it'd be easier to find work-
What about the beach?
Yes.
And there are plenty of spaces along the peninsula.
Yeah?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, can you just
get out and help me reverse.
Uh, okay.
Um, okay, uh, go...
Go to the right.
To the right?
Yeah, for a bit.
Wait, wait, wait, Freya, Freya!
You're gonna hit a tree.
So go to the left, I think.
Yeah, just keep going.
Wait, Freya, Freya, stop!
There's a stick.
I- I moved it so you- yeah, keep going.
Yeah.
You should go for a swim.
Um, no, I'll just wait for you.
No, seriously, it's gonna get cold soon.
Go on.
Are you sure you don't need my help with anything?
Yeah, I'll join you in a sec.
No swim?
Not a big fan of seaweed.
Yeah, ew.
Wait...
Why don't we go suss out the neighbors?
You know, see if anyone's hot.
I mean, I can't go in anyways, because I've got my period.
Neviah?
Is everything all right?
You know what's funny?
Mmm?
Everyone here's really old.
Like, it took them this long to realize
that this is the life.
Yeah, or it took them this long
to be able to save up to even be able to live the life, more like it.
True.
Either way, the Grey Nomads have got it right.
I can't imagine going back to normal life.
I just don't think I can.
Everything here's just so...
Freeing.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my God, see that girl over there?
Well the woman, to be fair.
Yeah?
She came here after her husband of 30 years came out as gay.
But it was definitely a messy divorce, for sure.
Aww...
And the poor bitch is still trying to convince herself
that he didn't just marry her because she looks like a man.
Freya, she's still married.
How can you tell?
She's wearing a ring.
Oh yeah, true.
That's so unfortunate.
Mmmm.
No fucking way.
Oh my God.
He's gotta be confused about something.
The shirt.
Ew.
He hates his life.
-Wait, why is it orange?
-He hates it.
Freya, he hates his life.
No one would actually wear a color like that
-with that with that complexion.
-He's confused.
He's confused.
He's...looking for something or...
He's coming over. What the fuck?
Hey 'Orange Shirt.'
Hey, uhh, 'Blue Jeans.'
Hey.
Pleasure.
And you?
Neviah.
Neviah?
-Mhmm
-Well it's lovely to meet you too.
So are you guys talking about everyone that walks past
or just me?
Just you.
Yeah, just you.
What are you guys reading?
Wow.
I love Camus.
Yeah, it's a cute beach read.
Yeah, existentialism.
It's really interesting.
Mmmm.....
Yeah what do you mean by that?
-You know.
-Existentialism?
Life, purpose, all the good stuff
that keeps you up at night.
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't call The Stranger existentialist, but...
Wouldn't you?
No--
It's all about life, death, meaning, lack thereof...
I mean, I don't know if you can get any more existentialist than that....
I mean I certainly can but...
Our Mother...
Wise in all fates
holds the futures of all men.
It is her blood that blesses our waterways, skies and earth.
As of today....
It too flows through your sacred body, Neviah.
The future flows through you.
Neviah?
Neviah?
Vi?
What?
Do you want to go?
Where?
Bonfire, tonight.
- It'll just be me and a couple of the locals
- Please, do it for me.
And hopefully you two.
No thanks.
Hey, 'Headband.'
Hey, 'Black Shirt.'
And umm.. It is... Neviah, right?
Hey, listen, it's really cold over here,
so why don't we come by the fire and we can have a chat?
Okay.
Maybe I'll learn your real name.
No, I'll never tell.
Wanna bet?
Oh my god. That's funny.
Dance with me.
-Morning.
-Morning.
How'd you sleep?
All right.
What about you?
Good.
Um, you weren't home until really late.
Yeah...
I got a bit distracted.
But I'm sorry. I know that's not a good excuse.
I should have...
-No, it's fine.
-Given you the heads up.
-No, it's fine don't worry about it.
-Yeah.
I was just really tired.
So what happened after I left?
Good morning, Freya.
Morning.
Did you have a good rest?
Mmm, yeah you left me pretty tired.
You guys want to hang out today?
Sure.
-Okay.
-I'll swing by later.
-I'm sorry. I-
-Stop. Just leave it. Just leave it.
Okay, that's good.
-Okay. Please.
-Plenty, plenty, plenty.
I'm gonna get in trouble for this.
Ohhh.
The elixir helps to free the mind.
And better your sight.
See and speak the truth, Neviah.
Oh God...
Oh my God.
What's going on?
What's going on?
Do you wanna come in?
Please, it's so nice in here.
Freya?
Freya?
Freya!
You sure you're okay?
You don't need me to come and tuck you in?
Oh my God. You scared me.
Where were you?
With Tyler.
Um... I-
I couldn't find you. I was worried.
Yeah. No, we went for a drive.
You're not yourself.
What?
No... I'm fine.
I'm so fine.
Wait, we should do something tomorrow.
Just us?
Okay.
Yeah?
Wait. Did you say yes?
-Yep.
-Yeah. Okay. Cool.
Do you wanna come in?
I'm alright.
Really?
Please, it's so nice in here.
I don't wanna get wet, Freya.
Please...
Will you come in later?
Maybe.
Okay. I'm holding on to that.
Freya?
Freya?
Freya!
Where are you going?
Neviah?
Look ahead, Neviah.
To the offing.
What did you see?
What did Mother Frigg show you?
A woman?
Bright lights.
Tall buildings.
What you speak of is a lie.
Hey, hey, Vi are you okay?
I'm sorry. I-
No, no, no. You don't need to be sorry.
I-I'm not good at swimming.
Hey, no. I'm so sorry.
How about we just skip the beach tomorrow?
Really?
Yeah. Why don't we find something else to do?
The Summer Carnival's on.
Do you wanna go?
Just us.
-Yeah?
-Okay.
I'm sorry.
it's okay.
I've never done anything like this before.
Really?
You know my mom used to take me to the Royal Melbourne Show all the time.
Were you and your mom close?
Um...
-Fancy seeing you here.
-Hey.
Hello, Naya.
Hey, listen.
I've got a couple of spare tokens,
and if you haven't been on 'Freestyle' you absolutely have to.
Yeah, no. We were just heading over there now.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's perfect. We can go together.
But it's kind of a two person ride though.
Do you want me just to go and then...
I'll come back.
I can do that. I promise.
Do you wanna take this?
Okay, I'll be back. Really quickly.
Okay?
Yeah, I just want this over with.
Sit down, have a drink.
I can't.
Ah, come on.
Don't embarrass me in my own office.
I'm not, it just, this isn't fair to me...
Or to your family.
Okay, I'm sorry.
We don't have to take it that far again, though.
Just, please.
Come here.
Don't touch me.
I think I'm... gonna report this to HR.
We both know I never wanted any part in this.
You think people are gonna believe that?
Come on. The Party won't take you back
if they find out you've been sleeping your way to the top.
You'll be throwing out your entire political career.
Just...
Sit down.
Ten minutes.
That's all I'm asking.
I can't do this.
I want to leave.
You can't walk out.
I don't wanna be a part of this anymore.
Your role is important, Neviah.
You may not have the gift that once flowed through our forebears
but you can serve the cause in other ways.
Our kin is the future.
They will be our salvation.
Everyone has been through this.
Your mother included.
Vi, can we talk?
Is it our duty to please men?
No, no.
Pleasure should be mutual.
What do you mean?
I mean, it doesn't-
it doesn't work if it's not fully reciprocated.
If only,
one person is getting something out of it.
Right.
So if...
So you mean I can just-
leave at any time
if I'm not getting anything out of it?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
I mean, my mum did.
What was she like?
Amazing.
Yeah.
I miss her.
How did she die?
She's not dead.
Well, then why aren't you with her?
Well...
She, she just-
She thought it'd be better if I was on my own for a bit.
Our mother communicates her love
in a thousand different ways.
I'm sure she just wants what's best for you, Freya.
Yeah.
I mean,
what's best isn't always what's easiest.
But yeah.
What about you?
What's your mum like?
She...
She was strong.
Is she no longer with us?
I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry about the carnival too.
Uh, no, it's okay.
My mother used to tell me
not to let the sun go down on my anger.
No point acting out of spite, so.
Yeah.
It's so good seeing you smile.
That doesn't mean stop smiling.
Well, the content should not gloat.
Smiling is not gloating.
I like being here.
Yeah, me too.
I don't know...
Don't you think everyone seems more relaxed here?
I just feel like the locals are just so welcoming.
And they always say hi to you.
Yeah, it was like that where I grew up.
Really?
But that was just cause
everyone knew each other.
I wish I had that.
Yeah, you definitely don't.
I just feel like...
Where I was from, it was just so rushed and...
busy and there was like no sense of community
and that's kind of all I want.
I guess over here, everyone's just trying to escape reality.
I could never go back to reality, ever.
Reality sucks.
I'm so happy we crossed paths.
You know, I could not have done this without you.
Any of it.
Doesn't it get tiring, assuming the worst in everyone?
We'll be friends forever, Neviah.
We can just like keep doing this together.
Freya, you're never even around half the time anymore.
Then we can go on and on and on.
Do you wanna go to the lighthouse today?
I saw you looking at it the other day and...
Could be fun.
I'd probably rather just stay here.
I know you'll like it once you're there.
Please.
It would be cool if we checked it out.
I don't know, Freya.
Please.
It's so pretty here....
Um, I'm actually getting a bit cold,
so, should we just head back?
It's like 30oC.
Yeah, but, uh, the wind is strong.
Right.
Is something up with you?
I don't know, you just seem detached.
No, it's nothing, I-
I'm just like stressed about...
money and stuff.
Yeah.
Look, but you know we have
enough money to keep us going for a couple weeks.
I mean, I told you that I let you know,
it's gonna be okay.
Uh, yeah, look, I might-
I might actually just head back to the caravan, I'm kinda tired.
Can you not?
Why?
Because you can't just run from like
any form of confrontation.
This isn't a confrontation, Freya.
Well, maybe it should be.
It's just, I feel like you're hiding something from me.
I'm not.
I'm not, okay?
Sorry, I'm just...
I'm just used to being on my own,
so, I don't know, it's just...
I know, but if you opened up to me more then...
I could like try to help you.
Like I'm on your team.
I don't wanna talk about this right now, okay?
But that's a problem,
Neviah, you can't just not talk.
Can you please just drop it?
Okay, you don't need to keep prying into my life
-all the time.
-I'm not prying.
I just wanna know if you're okay.
Okay, well, it's none of your business.
I'm just trying to help you, seriously.
Yeah...
Yeah but Freya you don't actually wanna help.
Okay? You just want people to think that.
Why do you assume the worst in everyone?
Okay, doesn't it get tiring?
I'm-
I'm tired of feeling like I don't have a say in anything.
I mean, I don't even know where you are half the time anymore.
And it's-
It's so easy for you to just sit there
and pretend to come to the rescue,
but it doesn't help, okay?
It never helps.
If anything, it just makes it worse.
Okay.
Fine, if that's how you really feel, you can be left alone.
What happened?
What's wrong?
It's alright.
She'll come around.
She knows you care about her.
She thinks I only care about myself.
Do you believe that?
I mean...
Is it selfish to encourage someone to speak up,
even if they're not ready to?
Depends why you want them to.
So they have someone to talk to?
Because speaking up helps other people too.
I don't know.
Maybe I've just been too insistent
and not even just with Neviah.
You can talk to me.
It's a long story.
When has that ever stopped you?
Okay, well...
a few months ago,
I heard some fucked up shit about this politician.
He had inappropriate relationships with his female employees.
And...
I decided to reach out to a few of them.
Apparently, he was forceful and he would threaten them.
And they were so afraid to speak out at first.
But then,
But then eventually we were able to
collect evidence against him and...
I mean, we even got this recording.
Wow.
Good on you for
taking action against someone like that.
I mean, we didn't really even take any action.
I really, I wanted to report him.
I wanted him to get fired and...
Some of the women, they got overwhelmed.
And they wanted me to delete all of it.
I guess it's out of your hands.
Sounds like you've done everything you can.
I mean, I've still got everything on a USB.
I just, I find myself listening to the recordings over and over again.
And I just can't get over what he did.
And I don't want him or anyone else to
just think that they can get away with it.
And I still want to do something about it.
I want to do something bigger.
But...
I don't know. I'm just conflicted.
And I don't know if that makes me selfish.
Maybe you should just
put it away for a while.
Focus on what's in front of you.
Who's in front of you.
Are you okay?
If I can't see the fates of man, they'll make me a Bearer.
We could go somewhere else.
There's nowhere else for us to go.
We could go to the coast.
It's dangerous out there.
I don't believe that anymore.
This is our home, Lucy.
We can't just leave.
We don't belong here.
It's not right for us to stay.
We could find a new home.
Together.
Do you ever miss home?
Sometimes.
Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like
it can get a bit lonely here.
Because you're never with the same people for too long.
Just means you get as many fresh starts as you want.
Yeah...
I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.
Me and Neviah haven't really talked in a few days.
I just think...
When you're in the same place for too long, you...
start racking up debts.
Doing things you don't want to do to pay them off.
I don't think friendships have to be that transactional, though.
Maybe not.
I just wish I could go back to being a kid, you know.
Everything was so simple then.
Yeah, you never had to fear being alone.
There was always someone by your side.
Someone to look out for you.
No matter what happened.
I could use one of those now.
Yeah. Yeah we all could.
Don't let it get to you.
It's going to be okay.
Neviah?
Yeah?
Do you think we'll ever get out of here?
Of course.
And when we do, we're going to be happy.
Nothing will get in the way of that.
Promise?
Promise.
Freya?
Do you want to go to the beach tomorrow?
I've been thinking about what you said.
I'm sorry.
No. You were right.
I've been such a bitch.
And...
The whole thing has made me reconsider a lot of things.
And I think I just need to prioritize what really matters
rather than getting caught up with the wrong things
and the wrong people.
So does that mean you're going to stop seeing Tyler?
No. That's not really what I mean.
I-
I did something really selfish.
Before we met.
And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it
since our talk.
What happened?
I found out that...
someone had hurt a bunch of women.
And I really wanted him to suffer for it.
That's not-
How is that selfish?
Well...
It wasn't really about helping the women.
I just- I just wanted to get back at him.
After what he did to my family.
I don't- I don't understand.
Did he hurt your family?
Um, not in the same way, but yeah.
I- I wanted to get back at him because-
Because...
He's my dad.
Your dad?
Yeah.
My mom left him after she found out he was having an affair at work.
And then I later found out
that it wasn't just one woman and that...
That he was making them do things they didn't want to.
And-
they just weren't ready to speak up about it.
What- What happened?
Well, I was really angry.
I was tired of waiting
so I decided to confront him myself.
I told him that if he didn't resign, then...
I'd leak all the evidence I had.
And I- I thought he might have been considering it,
but then-
But then a bunch of men rocked up to my house.
And...
They got aggressive
and they threatened my mom
and they accused me of blackmail.
And my sister was there too.
Is-is that why you're not
staying with your family right now?
Yeah.
My mom said that I didn't know what he was capable of
and that...
given that the police seemed to be on his side,
that I should either give it up or...
leave to protect myself and my sister.
I'm- I'm so sorry, Freya.
It's okay.
That must have been really hard.
Yeah.
It's okay now, now that I've left.
You know, I'm just gonna wait till the women are ready.
And then-
I don't know, maybe I can still do something about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess
people just have their own way of dealing with that.
Back at home, if-
If a man laid with a woman against the will of our Mother,
they would have his phallus removed.
Perhaps they could do that to your father.
Yeah?
Maybe.
Just a suggestion.
No, it's a good one.
Yeah.
Well, I just wanted to say...
I'm here for you, Vi.
And I'm sorry if I've been distracted
and haven't acted like it.
Okay?
I really am.
I think me and Neviah are ready to move on.
-Mm?
-Yeah.
She seemed really happy today.
So I guess I'm happy too.
Although I feel like I should probably be with her right now,
you know, and
talk things through properly.
I really like this top.
Is this vintage?
Yeah, it's from Salvos.
Oh, it's nice.
Yeah, Neviah got it for me.
Is that so?
I'm just worried.
What if she still thinks that I expect her to open up more and-
Maybe I'm too pushy, am I too pushy?
I think you just need to relax.
Are you even listening to me?
Of course.
No, but you're clearly distracted.
Freya, I know you've had a stressful few days,
but I think it would be healthy for you to just...
take your mind off things for a little.
Are you being serious?
Okay, I'm just gonna hang out with Neviah.
Oh come on, you guys already made up.
Just take the win--
Stop.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
Neviah? Neviah?!
Where have you been?
I was at the beach.
I just, I lost track of time.
Freya, what happened?
I don't know, I just found it like this.
Was it a robbery?
I don't think they took anything.
I've been seeing this man watching us. Do you-
Do you think it's related?
Wait, what do you mean?
I don't know.
I just keep seeing the same guy around. I-
I feel like he might be following us or something.
We need to leave.
Well, I mean, shouldn't we just talk to the police first or something, Freya?
They're not gonna help us. Trust me.
Let's just go, okay?
Neviah, please, can you just trust me?
Please, okay?
We just need to lay low for a bit
and then we can always come back here.
Okay.
Okay?
Alright.
We'll leave early tomorrow morning, okay?
Is that everything?
Yeah.
I'm just going to the car.
We need to go.
Lucy, come on.
I can't.
What do you mean, Lucy? Let's go now.
My family's going to be here now.
You should go.
Please.
No, Lucy, he'll-
He'll hurt you.
He can't.
Not until I've carried out my duty.
Take this.
What am I gonna do with it?
Use it.
If he catches up to you.
Alright, let's go.
Freya, I made a mistake when I was younger.
I came from a bad family.
And I couldn't stay there, so I ran away.
I just, I left my sister behind.
And I just kept walking.
I didn't stop, and I don't know, it feels like I still haven't.
I feel like I keep running away from everything,
and I'm sick of it, Freya.
I'm sick of leaving people behind and starting over.
I just, I don't want to do it anymore.
But Vi, you were a child, you know,
you can't beat yourself up about that.
Yeah, but I feel like I'm gonna keep doing the wrong thing
and people are gonna suffer because of me.
You created a path for others to follow.
And you never know, maybe
your sister found a way to escape as well.
Yeah, I'm just, I'm sick of running away.
You know, one day...
We'll be running towards something, okay, I promise.
I- I promise you can pick where we go next time.
I would love to go to the city one day.
Mmm.
I've always wanted to go and...
See the bright lights
and the tall buildings.
Well...
Once everything blows over with my dad,
then I'll take you.
And maybe you can meet my mom.
There's a walking track we could check out.
Or a tunnel?
We could go to a tunnel tomorrow.
A tunnel?
Yeah?
No?
This is the kinda place where people get murdered, Freya.
No, it's so cool, let's check it out.
Fine.
Shut up, you're literally asking to get stabbed.
It's fun, try!
It's gonna rain.
How can you tell?
You can feel it in the air.
It's like a heaviness.
It's almost suffocating.
It's quite peaceful, actually.
Everything's so quiet.
The calm before the storm.
Freya, I don't think this is gonna end well.
What do you mean?
Something bad is gonna happen here.
Wait, why do you think that?
Because I've seen it.
And I don't think we can just run away this time.
I keep seeing things before they happen.
And the more I try to resist them...
The more inevitable they feel.
What have you seen?
There's blood everywhere.
It's on my hands, and it's in my hair.
I think I'm gonna hurt someone.
Freya, someone...
Something is after us.
And I thought maybe if we move fast enough,
we could outrun it somehow.
But the more we run,
the closer it gets.
Like fate is closing in on us.
We're gonna get out of this, Vi.
I know everything seems hopeless right now.
But we'll get through it together.
It's like we're all just drifting in a current we can't change.
Swimming against it is futile.
You're right.
Trying to swim against the current won't change its course.
But maybe you can choose a different stream.
The scary thing is, I-
Even if I had a choice...
I don't know which stream, I'd pick.
I'm so tired of being the prey, Freya.
I want to hold the knife.
We can't keep letting people hurt us and just get away with it.
Morning.
Morning.
Do you wanna have a picnic today?
Um...
Yeah--
Okay, well, I'll start setting up, and then...
Why don't you wear this?
Tyler, what are you doing here?
Freya, you need to give me the USB.
Wait, what's going on?
Just hand it over.
-You won't ever see me again.
-Wait, just--
just explain to me what the fuck's going on.
Just get the USB and we'll talk.
-Wait--
- Freya, please.
Okay, yeah.
Why do you need this?
We just wanna know who you've been speaking with.
That's it.
We won't bother you anymore.
Wait, what do you want with them?
Just to talk.
Just hand it over.
Have you been watching me this whole time?
You're working for my dad?
Tyler?
Let's just get this over with.
Neviah!
Neviah.
Mother?
Wise in all fates.
Teach me to speak in thy tongue.
So that I may hear your whispers in the wind...
And heed your warnings in the waves.
In thee, I trust to guide my way...
Through raging seas churned by the currents of time.
Past the bloodied waters of yesterday...
And into the storms to come.
You are working on an hourly rate of nineteen dollars.
But I take out $60 a day for your accommodation and food.
Hi.
That works for me.
Please don't shower for more than five minutes.
The hot water is limited here.
You'll be sharing a room with Neviah.
Hi.
Nice to meet you, I'm Freya.
Go get your things.
Neviah will get started on dinner.
It's a little light on the salt, Neviah.
Sorry.
Where'd you get that from?
My mother.
It's pretty.
So do you like working here?
Yes.
That's good.
Are you from the area?
Neviah?
I grew up in the city. What about you?
Um...No I've...
I've never been there before.
Really?
Oh.
Well you should definitely go sometime.
No, I don't think Agnes would like that very much.
Have you been working here long?
I have to get up early tomorrow,
so I should probably go to bed.
Okay.
Well, goodnight.
Sorry.
It's okay.
These tend to make me feel better after a long day.
Oh, thanks. Thank you.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Um, just a bit of homesick.
It just... it feels strange
taking out the family caravan without the family.
Does your family travel a lot?
Um, yeah, we used to...
We used to try to get out of the city.
Get some fresh air.
Although my sister was more of the outdoorsy one.
You kind of remind me of her, actually.
Do you have any siblings?
No.
Why aren't you with your family?
Um...
We lost someone.
And it just really took a toll.
I just wanted to move away from it all.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay. It's okay.
Thank you for the biscuit.
Push!
Push! Keep pushing!
The babe won't come.
Big day?
Big day.
I feel bad.
You're like out there doing all this work
and I'm in here.
Doing this.
No, it's, um... it's okay.
Every task bears equal weight.
Want one?
Thanks.
Um, well, I should probably get back outside.
Yeah.
Thank you.
The past few months have been nice with you around.
I like it here.
Yes.
Well...
I'm sure my life would have been a lot easier
if I learned to ask for help a bit earlier.
Well, you...
You've done a wonderful job with the property on your own.
You are a good worker, Neviah.
But don't get stuck here.
The isolation takes a toll.
I'm used to being alone.
That's the problem.
- Neviah needs the extra help, she does--
- You clearly have no experience on a farm.
I have no need for you here.
You'd be better off going home.
Fine.
I'm leaving.
What happened?
Agnes just decided she doesn't need my help anymore.
Freya I don't... I don't understand.
Could you, um, help me find my keys?
I just... I can't find them.
I think we all know I'm not really cut out for this kind of work.
Well, where are you gonna go?
I'll probably just find somewhere to stay tonight,
and then I'll decide from there.
Do you want to leave?
It'll be an adventure.
I'm coming with you.
Really?
It's just this...
this place reminds me too much of home, and I...
I just really want to get away from it all.
And I feel like there's just so much that I haven't seen.
And I think I need an adventure too.
Yeah.
But we shouldn't leave like this.
Okay, Freya, we need a plan.
I know somewhere nearby we could go.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Let's go.
Hold on.
-What?
-Just give me a sec, wait.
Don't go anywhere, okay?
We look to the inside...
For warmth.
For comfort.
We remain loyal to our people.
To our family.
We need not venture...
into the dangerous world beyond.
Not unless it is the will of our Mother.
It's important for us to stick together.
Chickens who stray too far from the coop...
Are too often struck by a bit of prey.
Don't drift too far.
Don't leave.
Okay, sorry,
I almost forgot my toiletries.
You know it's gonna get dark soon, Freya.
Mhmm
Do you know where we're going?
Why don't we just see where the road takes us?
I just feel like we should have
maybe thought this through more.
We'll be fine.
We just....
We just need to go with the flow.
Her blood has flowed.
But barren are her eyes.
And if the eyes cannot serve the cause.
Then the womb must.
Fine.
I'll go get the map.
Okay.
So... Where should we go next?
Um, I-
I don't know what the options are.
We could stay here, for a few more days.
Somewhere with work.
Well, look, we can find work anywhere,
but I have money saved up to keep us going for a couple months--
Yeah, Freya, I...
I really think we should find somewhere with work.
Okay.
But I really want a break.
Okay, um, we could...
go up to the mountains.
Or...
a town nearby?
Um...
I mean, maybe we could go somewhere near the city?
That way it'd be easier to find work-
What about the beach?
Yes.
And there are plenty of spaces along the peninsula.
Yeah?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, can you just
get out and help me reverse.
Uh, okay.
Um, okay, uh, go...
Go to the right.
To the right?
Yeah, for a bit.
Wait, wait, wait, Freya, Freya!
You're gonna hit a tree.
So go to the left, I think.
Yeah, just keep going.
Wait, Freya, Freya, stop!
There's a stick.
I- I moved it so you- yeah, keep going.
Yeah.
You should go for a swim.
Um, no, I'll just wait for you.
No, seriously, it's gonna get cold soon.
Go on.
Are you sure you don't need my help with anything?
Yeah, I'll join you in a sec.
No swim?
Not a big fan of seaweed.
Yeah, ew.
Wait...
Why don't we go suss out the neighbors?
You know, see if anyone's hot.
I mean, I can't go in anyways, because I've got my period.
Neviah?
Is everything all right?
You know what's funny?
Mmm?
Everyone here's really old.
Like, it took them this long to realize
that this is the life.
Yeah, or it took them this long
to be able to save up to even be able to live the life, more like it.
True.
Either way, the Grey Nomads have got it right.
I can't imagine going back to normal life.
I just don't think I can.
Everything here's just so...
Freeing.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my God, see that girl over there?
Well the woman, to be fair.
Yeah?
She came here after her husband of 30 years came out as gay.
But it was definitely a messy divorce, for sure.
Aww...
And the poor bitch is still trying to convince herself
that he didn't just marry her because she looks like a man.
Freya, she's still married.
How can you tell?
She's wearing a ring.
Oh yeah, true.
That's so unfortunate.
Mmmm.
No fucking way.
Oh my God.
He's gotta be confused about something.
The shirt.
Ew.
He hates his life.
-Wait, why is it orange?
-He hates it.
Freya, he hates his life.
No one would actually wear a color like that
-with that with that complexion.
-He's confused.
He's confused.
He's...looking for something or...
He's coming over. What the fuck?
Hey 'Orange Shirt.'
Hey, uhh, 'Blue Jeans.'
Hey.
Pleasure.
And you?
Neviah.
Neviah?
-Mhmm
-Well it's lovely to meet you too.
So are you guys talking about everyone that walks past
or just me?
Just you.
Yeah, just you.
What are you guys reading?
Wow.
I love Camus.
Yeah, it's a cute beach read.
Yeah, existentialism.
It's really interesting.
Mmmm.....
Yeah what do you mean by that?
-You know.
-Existentialism?
Life, purpose, all the good stuff
that keeps you up at night.
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't call The Stranger existentialist, but...
Wouldn't you?
No--
It's all about life, death, meaning, lack thereof...
I mean, I don't know if you can get any more existentialist than that....
I mean I certainly can but...
Our Mother...
Wise in all fates
holds the futures of all men.
It is her blood that blesses our waterways, skies and earth.
As of today....
It too flows through your sacred body, Neviah.
The future flows through you.
Neviah?
Neviah?
Vi?
What?
Do you want to go?
Where?
Bonfire, tonight.
- It'll just be me and a couple of the locals
- Please, do it for me.
And hopefully you two.
No thanks.
Hey, 'Headband.'
Hey, 'Black Shirt.'
And umm.. It is... Neviah, right?
Hey, listen, it's really cold over here,
so why don't we come by the fire and we can have a chat?
Okay.
Maybe I'll learn your real name.
No, I'll never tell.
Wanna bet?
Oh my god. That's funny.
Dance with me.
-Morning.
-Morning.
How'd you sleep?
All right.
What about you?
Good.
Um, you weren't home until really late.
Yeah...
I got a bit distracted.
But I'm sorry. I know that's not a good excuse.
I should have...
-No, it's fine.
-Given you the heads up.
-No, it's fine don't worry about it.
-Yeah.
I was just really tired.
So what happened after I left?
Good morning, Freya.
Morning.
Did you have a good rest?
Mmm, yeah you left me pretty tired.
You guys want to hang out today?
Sure.
-Okay.
-I'll swing by later.
-I'm sorry. I-
-Stop. Just leave it. Just leave it.
Okay, that's good.
-Okay. Please.
-Plenty, plenty, plenty.
I'm gonna get in trouble for this.
Ohhh.
The elixir helps to free the mind.
And better your sight.
See and speak the truth, Neviah.
Oh God...
Oh my God.
What's going on?
What's going on?
Do you wanna come in?
Please, it's so nice in here.
Freya?
Freya?
Freya!
You sure you're okay?
You don't need me to come and tuck you in?
Oh my God. You scared me.
Where were you?
With Tyler.
Um... I-
I couldn't find you. I was worried.
Yeah. No, we went for a drive.
You're not yourself.
What?
No... I'm fine.
I'm so fine.
Wait, we should do something tomorrow.
Just us?
Okay.
Yeah?
Wait. Did you say yes?
-Yep.
-Yeah. Okay. Cool.
Do you wanna come in?
I'm alright.
Really?
Please, it's so nice in here.
I don't wanna get wet, Freya.
Please...
Will you come in later?
Maybe.
Okay. I'm holding on to that.
Freya?
Freya?
Freya!
Where are you going?
Neviah?
Look ahead, Neviah.
To the offing.
What did you see?
What did Mother Frigg show you?
A woman?
Bright lights.
Tall buildings.
What you speak of is a lie.
Hey, hey, Vi are you okay?
I'm sorry. I-
No, no, no. You don't need to be sorry.
I-I'm not good at swimming.
Hey, no. I'm so sorry.
How about we just skip the beach tomorrow?
Really?
Yeah. Why don't we find something else to do?
The Summer Carnival's on.
Do you wanna go?
Just us.
-Yeah?
-Okay.
I'm sorry.
it's okay.
I've never done anything like this before.
Really?
You know my mom used to take me to the Royal Melbourne Show all the time.
Were you and your mom close?
Um...
-Fancy seeing you here.
-Hey.
Hello, Naya.
Hey, listen.
I've got a couple of spare tokens,
and if you haven't been on 'Freestyle' you absolutely have to.
Yeah, no. We were just heading over there now.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's perfect. We can go together.
But it's kind of a two person ride though.
Do you want me just to go and then...
I'll come back.
I can do that. I promise.
Do you wanna take this?
Okay, I'll be back. Really quickly.
Okay?
Yeah, I just want this over with.
Sit down, have a drink.
I can't.
Ah, come on.
Don't embarrass me in my own office.
I'm not, it just, this isn't fair to me...
Or to your family.
Okay, I'm sorry.
We don't have to take it that far again, though.
Just, please.
Come here.
Don't touch me.
I think I'm... gonna report this to HR.
We both know I never wanted any part in this.
You think people are gonna believe that?
Come on. The Party won't take you back
if they find out you've been sleeping your way to the top.
You'll be throwing out your entire political career.
Just...
Sit down.
Ten minutes.
That's all I'm asking.
I can't do this.
I want to leave.
You can't walk out.
I don't wanna be a part of this anymore.
Your role is important, Neviah.
You may not have the gift that once flowed through our forebears
but you can serve the cause in other ways.
Our kin is the future.
They will be our salvation.
Everyone has been through this.
Your mother included.
Vi, can we talk?
Is it our duty to please men?
No, no.
Pleasure should be mutual.
What do you mean?
I mean, it doesn't-
it doesn't work if it's not fully reciprocated.
If only,
one person is getting something out of it.
Right.
So if...
So you mean I can just-
leave at any time
if I'm not getting anything out of it?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
I mean, my mum did.
What was she like?
Amazing.
Yeah.
I miss her.
How did she die?
She's not dead.
Well, then why aren't you with her?
Well...
She, she just-
She thought it'd be better if I was on my own for a bit.
Our mother communicates her love
in a thousand different ways.
I'm sure she just wants what's best for you, Freya.
Yeah.
I mean,
what's best isn't always what's easiest.
But yeah.
What about you?
What's your mum like?
She...
She was strong.
Is she no longer with us?
I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry about the carnival too.
Uh, no, it's okay.
My mother used to tell me
not to let the sun go down on my anger.
No point acting out of spite, so.
Yeah.
It's so good seeing you smile.
That doesn't mean stop smiling.
Well, the content should not gloat.
Smiling is not gloating.
I like being here.
Yeah, me too.
I don't know...
Don't you think everyone seems more relaxed here?
I just feel like the locals are just so welcoming.
And they always say hi to you.
Yeah, it was like that where I grew up.
Really?
But that was just cause
everyone knew each other.
I wish I had that.
Yeah, you definitely don't.
I just feel like...
Where I was from, it was just so rushed and...
busy and there was like no sense of community
and that's kind of all I want.
I guess over here, everyone's just trying to escape reality.
I could never go back to reality, ever.
Reality sucks.
I'm so happy we crossed paths.
You know, I could not have done this without you.
Any of it.
Doesn't it get tiring, assuming the worst in everyone?
We'll be friends forever, Neviah.
We can just like keep doing this together.
Freya, you're never even around half the time anymore.
Then we can go on and on and on.
Do you wanna go to the lighthouse today?
I saw you looking at it the other day and...
Could be fun.
I'd probably rather just stay here.
I know you'll like it once you're there.
Please.
It would be cool if we checked it out.
I don't know, Freya.
Please.
It's so pretty here....
Um, I'm actually getting a bit cold,
so, should we just head back?
It's like 30oC.
Yeah, but, uh, the wind is strong.
Right.
Is something up with you?
I don't know, you just seem detached.
No, it's nothing, I-
I'm just like stressed about...
money and stuff.
Yeah.
Look, but you know we have
enough money to keep us going for a couple weeks.
I mean, I told you that I let you know,
it's gonna be okay.
Uh, yeah, look, I might-
I might actually just head back to the caravan, I'm kinda tired.
Can you not?
Why?
Because you can't just run from like
any form of confrontation.
This isn't a confrontation, Freya.
Well, maybe it should be.
It's just, I feel like you're hiding something from me.
I'm not.
I'm not, okay?
Sorry, I'm just...
I'm just used to being on my own,
so, I don't know, it's just...
I know, but if you opened up to me more then...
I could like try to help you.
Like I'm on your team.
I don't wanna talk about this right now, okay?
But that's a problem,
Neviah, you can't just not talk.
Can you please just drop it?
Okay, you don't need to keep prying into my life
-all the time.
-I'm not prying.
I just wanna know if you're okay.
Okay, well, it's none of your business.
I'm just trying to help you, seriously.
Yeah...
Yeah but Freya you don't actually wanna help.
Okay? You just want people to think that.
Why do you assume the worst in everyone?
Okay, doesn't it get tiring?
I'm-
I'm tired of feeling like I don't have a say in anything.
I mean, I don't even know where you are half the time anymore.
And it's-
It's so easy for you to just sit there
and pretend to come to the rescue,
but it doesn't help, okay?
It never helps.
If anything, it just makes it worse.
Okay.
Fine, if that's how you really feel, you can be left alone.
What happened?
What's wrong?
It's alright.
She'll come around.
She knows you care about her.
She thinks I only care about myself.
Do you believe that?
I mean...
Is it selfish to encourage someone to speak up,
even if they're not ready to?
Depends why you want them to.
So they have someone to talk to?
Because speaking up helps other people too.
I don't know.
Maybe I've just been too insistent
and not even just with Neviah.
You can talk to me.
It's a long story.
When has that ever stopped you?
Okay, well...
a few months ago,
I heard some fucked up shit about this politician.
He had inappropriate relationships with his female employees.
And...
I decided to reach out to a few of them.
Apparently, he was forceful and he would threaten them.
And they were so afraid to speak out at first.
But then,
But then eventually we were able to
collect evidence against him and...
I mean, we even got this recording.
Wow.
Good on you for
taking action against someone like that.
I mean, we didn't really even take any action.
I really, I wanted to report him.
I wanted him to get fired and...
Some of the women, they got overwhelmed.
And they wanted me to delete all of it.
I guess it's out of your hands.
Sounds like you've done everything you can.
I mean, I've still got everything on a USB.
I just, I find myself listening to the recordings over and over again.
And I just can't get over what he did.
And I don't want him or anyone else to
just think that they can get away with it.
And I still want to do something about it.
I want to do something bigger.
But...
I don't know. I'm just conflicted.
And I don't know if that makes me selfish.
Maybe you should just
put it away for a while.
Focus on what's in front of you.
Who's in front of you.
Are you okay?
If I can't see the fates of man, they'll make me a Bearer.
We could go somewhere else.
There's nowhere else for us to go.
We could go to the coast.
It's dangerous out there.
I don't believe that anymore.
This is our home, Lucy.
We can't just leave.
We don't belong here.
It's not right for us to stay.
We could find a new home.
Together.
Do you ever miss home?
Sometimes.
Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like
it can get a bit lonely here.
Because you're never with the same people for too long.
Just means you get as many fresh starts as you want.
Yeah...
I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.
Me and Neviah haven't really talked in a few days.
I just think...
When you're in the same place for too long, you...
start racking up debts.
Doing things you don't want to do to pay them off.
I don't think friendships have to be that transactional, though.
Maybe not.
I just wish I could go back to being a kid, you know.
Everything was so simple then.
Yeah, you never had to fear being alone.
There was always someone by your side.
Someone to look out for you.
No matter what happened.
I could use one of those now.
Yeah. Yeah we all could.
Don't let it get to you.
It's going to be okay.
Neviah?
Yeah?
Do you think we'll ever get out of here?
Of course.
And when we do, we're going to be happy.
Nothing will get in the way of that.
Promise?
Promise.
Freya?
Do you want to go to the beach tomorrow?
I've been thinking about what you said.
I'm sorry.
No. You were right.
I've been such a bitch.
And...
The whole thing has made me reconsider a lot of things.
And I think I just need to prioritize what really matters
rather than getting caught up with the wrong things
and the wrong people.
So does that mean you're going to stop seeing Tyler?
No. That's not really what I mean.
I-
I did something really selfish.
Before we met.
And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it
since our talk.
What happened?
I found out that...
someone had hurt a bunch of women.
And I really wanted him to suffer for it.
That's not-
How is that selfish?
Well...
It wasn't really about helping the women.
I just- I just wanted to get back at him.
After what he did to my family.
I don't- I don't understand.
Did he hurt your family?
Um, not in the same way, but yeah.
I- I wanted to get back at him because-
Because...
He's my dad.
Your dad?
Yeah.
My mom left him after she found out he was having an affair at work.
And then I later found out
that it wasn't just one woman and that...
That he was making them do things they didn't want to.
And-
they just weren't ready to speak up about it.
What- What happened?
Well, I was really angry.
I was tired of waiting
so I decided to confront him myself.
I told him that if he didn't resign, then...
I'd leak all the evidence I had.
And I- I thought he might have been considering it,
but then-
But then a bunch of men rocked up to my house.
And...
They got aggressive
and they threatened my mom
and they accused me of blackmail.
And my sister was there too.
Is-is that why you're not
staying with your family right now?
Yeah.
My mom said that I didn't know what he was capable of
and that...
given that the police seemed to be on his side,
that I should either give it up or...
leave to protect myself and my sister.
I'm- I'm so sorry, Freya.
It's okay.
That must have been really hard.
Yeah.
It's okay now, now that I've left.
You know, I'm just gonna wait till the women are ready.
And then-
I don't know, maybe I can still do something about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess
people just have their own way of dealing with that.
Back at home, if-
If a man laid with a woman against the will of our Mother,
they would have his phallus removed.
Perhaps they could do that to your father.
Yeah?
Maybe.
Just a suggestion.
No, it's a good one.
Yeah.
Well, I just wanted to say...
I'm here for you, Vi.
And I'm sorry if I've been distracted
and haven't acted like it.
Okay?
I really am.
I think me and Neviah are ready to move on.
-Mm?
-Yeah.
She seemed really happy today.
So I guess I'm happy too.
Although I feel like I should probably be with her right now,
you know, and
talk things through properly.
I really like this top.
Is this vintage?
Yeah, it's from Salvos.
Oh, it's nice.
Yeah, Neviah got it for me.
Is that so?
I'm just worried.
What if she still thinks that I expect her to open up more and-
Maybe I'm too pushy, am I too pushy?
I think you just need to relax.
Are you even listening to me?
Of course.
No, but you're clearly distracted.
Freya, I know you've had a stressful few days,
but I think it would be healthy for you to just...
take your mind off things for a little.
Are you being serious?
Okay, I'm just gonna hang out with Neviah.
Oh come on, you guys already made up.
Just take the win--
Stop.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
Neviah? Neviah?!
Where have you been?
I was at the beach.
I just, I lost track of time.
Freya, what happened?
I don't know, I just found it like this.
Was it a robbery?
I don't think they took anything.
I've been seeing this man watching us. Do you-
Do you think it's related?
Wait, what do you mean?
I don't know.
I just keep seeing the same guy around. I-
I feel like he might be following us or something.
We need to leave.
Well, I mean, shouldn't we just talk to the police first or something, Freya?
They're not gonna help us. Trust me.
Let's just go, okay?
Neviah, please, can you just trust me?
Please, okay?
We just need to lay low for a bit
and then we can always come back here.
Okay.
Okay?
Alright.
We'll leave early tomorrow morning, okay?
Is that everything?
Yeah.
I'm just going to the car.
We need to go.
Lucy, come on.
I can't.
What do you mean, Lucy? Let's go now.
My family's going to be here now.
You should go.
Please.
No, Lucy, he'll-
He'll hurt you.
He can't.
Not until I've carried out my duty.
Take this.
What am I gonna do with it?
Use it.
If he catches up to you.
Alright, let's go.
Freya, I made a mistake when I was younger.
I came from a bad family.
And I couldn't stay there, so I ran away.
I just, I left my sister behind.
And I just kept walking.
I didn't stop, and I don't know, it feels like I still haven't.
I feel like I keep running away from everything,
and I'm sick of it, Freya.
I'm sick of leaving people behind and starting over.
I just, I don't want to do it anymore.
But Vi, you were a child, you know,
you can't beat yourself up about that.
Yeah, but I feel like I'm gonna keep doing the wrong thing
and people are gonna suffer because of me.
You created a path for others to follow.
And you never know, maybe
your sister found a way to escape as well.
Yeah, I'm just, I'm sick of running away.
You know, one day...
We'll be running towards something, okay, I promise.
I- I promise you can pick where we go next time.
I would love to go to the city one day.
Mmm.
I've always wanted to go and...
See the bright lights
and the tall buildings.
Well...
Once everything blows over with my dad,
then I'll take you.
And maybe you can meet my mom.
There's a walking track we could check out.
Or a tunnel?
We could go to a tunnel tomorrow.
A tunnel?
Yeah?
No?
This is the kinda place where people get murdered, Freya.
No, it's so cool, let's check it out.
Fine.
Shut up, you're literally asking to get stabbed.
It's fun, try!
It's gonna rain.
How can you tell?
You can feel it in the air.
It's like a heaviness.
It's almost suffocating.
It's quite peaceful, actually.
Everything's so quiet.
The calm before the storm.
Freya, I don't think this is gonna end well.
What do you mean?
Something bad is gonna happen here.
Wait, why do you think that?
Because I've seen it.
And I don't think we can just run away this time.
I keep seeing things before they happen.
And the more I try to resist them...
The more inevitable they feel.
What have you seen?
There's blood everywhere.
It's on my hands, and it's in my hair.
I think I'm gonna hurt someone.
Freya, someone...
Something is after us.
And I thought maybe if we move fast enough,
we could outrun it somehow.
But the more we run,
the closer it gets.
Like fate is closing in on us.
We're gonna get out of this, Vi.
I know everything seems hopeless right now.
But we'll get through it together.
It's like we're all just drifting in a current we can't change.
Swimming against it is futile.
You're right.
Trying to swim against the current won't change its course.
But maybe you can choose a different stream.
The scary thing is, I-
Even if I had a choice...
I don't know which stream, I'd pick.
I'm so tired of being the prey, Freya.
I want to hold the knife.
We can't keep letting people hurt us and just get away with it.
Morning.
Morning.
Do you wanna have a picnic today?
Um...
Yeah--
Okay, well, I'll start setting up, and then...
Why don't you wear this?
Tyler, what are you doing here?
Freya, you need to give me the USB.
Wait, what's going on?
Just hand it over.
-You won't ever see me again.
-Wait, just--
just explain to me what the fuck's going on.
Just get the USB and we'll talk.
-Wait--
- Freya, please.
Okay, yeah.
Why do you need this?
We just wanna know who you've been speaking with.
That's it.
We won't bother you anymore.
Wait, what do you want with them?
Just to talk.
Just hand it over.
Have you been watching me this whole time?
You're working for my dad?
Tyler?
Let's just get this over with.
Neviah!
