[woman over radio] The debate
over the cause of the fertility
crisis continues to rage both
in the scientific
and political arenas.
The question around
whether the virus
or the vaccine itself
is to blame remains
-unanswered.
-[vehicle approaching]
In related news, fresh
waves of protests have erupted
across the country defying
new lockdown and
quarantine laws.
[crackling radio static]
[man on radio] Police
and military are struggling
to regain control,
especially in regional areas
where groups of armed
citizens have established
a number of checkpoints
limiting travel
across the country.
This comes as groups
on both the far right and--

Flinders Island has become
the latest
island to sever
ties with the mainland,
with local militia
seizing control
of all ferry operations.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister
has addressed the nation
this morning amid fresh
calls for his resignation.
[Prime Minister]
Humanity is experiencing
its greatest
existential threat,
and I fear that our world
has never felt more divided.
In the face of such adversity,
our task now is to cling
to what little hope remains.
Yes, this... fertility crisis
has... left us facing
a challenge that feels
increasingly... impossible.

When can I see her?
There is another package.
-No, no, that wasn't the fu--

You want to see your wife?
Show him.
She doesn't have long.
Do this, and you can see her.

What are you
gonna call that one?
Fluffy.
Why is it called Fluffy?
[girl]
'Cause it looks like you.
- [soft chuckle]
-Yeah, and you smell funny.
[chuckles]
The orange one
looks like the mom
'cause she's the biggest.

[man] Mom sold her.
The fucking bitch sold her.
I never fucking agreed to that.
She wasn't for sale.
Oh, lad, that's right.
She gave you a little bit
of a hard-on, didn't she?
I fucking loved her, you idiot.
[motorcycle rumbling closer]
You're gonna do whatever
it is you fucking do.
You're gonna find
out who took her...
...where she's heading...
...and where the drop is.
[exhales]
[clicks tongue]
Say, "please."
Pretty fucking please.
[engine humming]
[soft lullaby singing]

[vehicle door closes]
Stop!
Stay the fuck back!

You open your mouth...

Speak! [echoing scream]
She sells seashells

Hey boy, you on the channel?

Hey, fucking deepshits.
[chuckles]
Are you there or what?
Smiley, where are
you little brother?
Round and about.
What have you got for me?
I've got a white van... heading
north about ten Ks out
of Old Mate's Trading Post.
[tense music]
[muffled "Ave Maria"
plays through speakers]
[man] G'day Chip,
I haven't seen
you here in a while.
Fuck off, I'm not in the mood.
[man] Oh, still overflowing
with mirth, I see.
[sighs]
I'm here for a pickup.
Pick up? Well...
What happened to me
other mate, the old fella?
I didn't think they'd
send you out this way.
I liked the old fella.
-[sighs]
-I don't know if I like you...
[laughs]
Just pissing you about.
Old fella was a wanker.
[pours drink]
Where's the package?
If I knew, I'd tell you, but...
I'm not gonna tell you 'cause
I haven't got a fucking clue.
Either you're
early or they're late,
and that is not good.
Have a drink.
Makes me nervous.
And I don't like
getting nervous.
[slurps]
[low grunt]
Alright...
I'll need some diesel.
What you need, mate...
is a fucking root,
but...
...given the way you look,
[sighs] diesel'll have to do.
Yeah, God bless you too!

Where is the girl? Where is she?
-Where is the girl?
-What the fuck?
Take it easy, man.
[man] Fuck, do you
want any fucking more?
-I'm not fucking--
-[man 2] Alright!
I'll get the fucking
keys out of the
fucking car and open it up.
Fuck me! Alright,
just calm down!
[Smiley] Open the van!

I said slow down.

[baby starts crying]
[baby crying intensifies]
-[phone beeping]
-Fuck.
[phone beeping]
-[man over phone] Where are you?
-A baby?
A fucking baby!
And the girl?
No. She wasn't there.
Okay.
Delivery at sunset.
I'll send coordinates.

[unsteady breathing]
[man] Who were they, back there?
[stifled sob]
What'd they do to you?
[sniffling sobs]
[quiet sobbing]
Where are you headed?
There's an island.
It's still safe.
[scoffs]
-It's not an option.
-[whispering] Yes, it is.
[sighs] I've heard...
...they have a school...
A hospital. A community.
[man] Forget it.
It is impossible.
It always seems impossible
until it's done, right?
[sharp inhale]
I heard that somewhere.
[baby starts crying]
Hold it upright.
Sometimes they
swallow air and it hurts.
[soft grunt]
There you go. That's it.
[baby settles]
[baby burps]
[man huffs]

[music continues]
You've got a baby.

How do you have a baby?
Impossible... right?
[soft grunt]

[reverberating engine noise]
[deep rumble]
["Ave Maria" plays on speakers]
[grunts]
If you know where
to look, you can still
find the best things.
[Smiley laughs] You got it.
Old Mate's camera's
still fucking work.
Alright, so she--
she... gets out
of the truck and--
and then jumps
into that Land Cruiser.
Who is he?
I never met him 'til today.
Fucking baby, eh? [chuckles]
Ain't that something?
[stutters] Let me guess...
You're the big daddy, eh?
And she's done a runner on you?
Mm, she don't like
your crackers anymore,
hmm?
No... that's not it.
Someone stole her.
You--
You're not happy...
...and now you
want her back again.
That it?
You know...
...problem is...
...if she's what
I think she is...
...then I know the blokes
what brought her here.
[tense music slowly builds]
And if your little
birdie escaped, I mean...
...you dumb cunts are
fucked either way.
-[man laughs]
-[scoffs]
[through laughter]
Dumb cunts.
When my brothers
and I were little...
...our mum was...
a pretty nasty piece of work.
We'd make ourselves
scarce as much as we could.
We had a couple
of old berry trees.
The sweetest
blueberries you ever had.
We played this game where...
...you throw the berry
as high as you could.
And if you didn't catch it
in your mouth...
...the others
would get a free hit.
If you caught it...
[sighs]
...then you'd live to
fight another day.
Unit!
Good boy.
So I tell you what.
Catch this...
...we'll go on our
merry little way.
If you don't...
Are you ready?
[tense music slowly swells]
[man inhales]
[loud exhale]
May I?
[soft chuckle]
To life.
[pleased sigh]
[inhales sharply]
[exhales]
[grunts]
[whispering] I was really hoping
you were gonna catch it.
Because, between you and me...
...I never liked
hitting my brothers.
I did it 'cause I had to.

-This is where I drop you off.
-No, no, no.
-No!
-There's a checkpoint just
-over that ridge. Th--
-No, you can't--
It's your best option.
I need to go to a--
a boat or a ferry.
I'm-- I'm going to the island.
-[man scoffs] No, you're not.
-Yes, I am!
No one gets in
or out of the island.
-Do you understand? No one!
-[woman] You're not
listening to me!
As far as you're concerned,
there is no island.
-If I don't make it...
they will take me.
-[man] I can't help you,
-I'm sorry. I can't help you!
-They will take her and me!
-I can't help you!
-[baby lets out a cry]
[baby fussing]
[sighs] Oh, fuck.
[baby grunts]
[sighs]
[softly] Fuck.
[keys jingle]
In the back,
in the pull-out drawer,
there's 50 grand.
Take it. It's yours.
Why?
[man] Bribe the cops...
and buy your way to freedom.
[wind blowing]
Go before I change my mind.
You'll need both hands.
Put the key in,
hold it to the right,
and then with
your other hand, lift
the latch and it'll open.

[woman]
There were other girls too.
They kept some of us.
Others were sold.
They would, um...
A few of the girls
fell pregnant.
It wasn't unusual.
Until they always lost it.
But I didn't.
And she came...
...healthy.
Perfect.
-[woman] Where are we?
-[handbrake engages]
What happened here?
Same thing that happened pretty
much right across the country.
The government just...
stopped servicing
remote towns like this
when the third wave really hit.
And then...
...'cause it was cheaper
than moving bodies,
they just... sealed it off.
Where are you going?
I was here about a month back,
so there might be
a few basics left.
-I'll come.
-[man] No.
You stay here.

Lock the door.

She... has a baby.

We were just passing through.
To get some bits and pieces...

Can-- can I see it?
That's enough.
Out, out, get out!

I'm gonna need my gun back.
Alex. [panting]

What's your name?
Mac.
[baby whimpers]
[softly shushing]
[baby starts crying]
They can't control
their arms yet,
so sometimes they
scare themselves,
so you gotta wrap them up tight.
[baby fusses]
[sighs]
Just put her in there.
[baby wailing]
[softly shushing]
There you go.
[shushing]

[softly] That's better.
Whose toy was that in your car?
I'm sorry.

[sipping]
[gulps]
[soft emotive music]
She was six.
There was a
bush fire at our farm.
[scattered raindrops on roof]
I was moving sheep
into another paddock.
She came looking for me.
And I just couldn't...
...find her.
She was right there.
[distant thunder rumbles]
It was just-- just...
...the smoke.
The smoke gets you
before the flames.
[music continues]
Earlier...
...when you were in the store...
[sighs] ...I nearly--
I mean...
...I don't know
if I can do this.
Any of this.
I don't think
I can keep running.
We run as long as we have to.

[sighs]
My name's Aliah.
[music fades]
And the baby?
I don't know yet.
[sighs] That's about
where they were keeping me.
[Mac] You sure?
In the room I was in...
...there was an old map in it.
But no... not sure.
Aliah, the people
that I work for...
...were gonna sell your baby.
And I was meant
to collect her...
...and deliver her to them.
But you weren't
part of that deal.
The problem is...
...they have my wife.
She's sick.
And she needs constant care
that I can't give her.
They're keeping her alive.
So I do what I'm told.

But I'm gonna
get you to that boat.
And we're gonna hope
that the island takes you...
...so that you and her can
get the life that you deserve.

Flinders Island has become
the latest
island to sever
ties with the mainland,
with local militia
seizing control
of all ferry operations.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister
has addressed the nation
this morning amid fresh
calls for his resignation.
[Prime Minister]
Humanity is experiencing
its greatest
existential threat,
and I fear that our world
has never felt more divided.
In the face of such adversity,
our task now is to cling
to what little hope remains.
Yes, this... fertility crisis
has... left us facing
a challenge that feels
increasingly... impossible.

[unsteady breathing]
[man] Who were they, back there?
[stifled sob]
What'd they do to you?
[sniffling sobs]
[quiet sobbing]
Where are you headed?
There's an island.
It's still safe.
[scoffs]
-It's not an option.
-[whispering] Yes, it is.
[sighs] I've heard...
...they have a school...
A hospital. A community.
[man] Forget it.
It is impossible.
It always seems impossible
until it's done, right?
[sharp inhale]
I heard that somewhere.
[baby starts crying]
Hold it upright.
Sometimes they
swallow air and it hurts.
[soft grunt]
There you go. That's it.
[baby settles]
[baby burps]

You've got a baby.

Impossible... right?

If you know where
to look, you can still
find the best things.
[Smiley laughs] You got it.
Old Mate's camera's
still fucking work.
Alright, so she--
she... gets out
of the truck and--
and then jumps
into that Land Cruiser.
Who is he?
I never met him 'til today.
Fucking baby, eh? [chuckles]
Ain't that something?
[stutters] Let me guess...
You're the big daddy, eh?
And she's done a runner on you?
Mm, she don't like
your crackers anymore,
hmm?
No... that's not it.
Someone stole her.
You--
You're not happy...
...and now you
want her back again.
That it?
You know...
...problem is...
...if she's what
I think she is...
...then I know the blokes
what brought her here.
[tense music slowly builds]
And if your little
birdie escaped, I mean...
...you dumb cunts are
fucked either way.
-[man laughs]
-[scoffs]
[through laughter]
Dumb cunts.
When my brothers
and I were little...
...our mum was...
a pretty nasty piece of work.
We'd make ourselves
scarce as much as we could.
We had a couple
of old berry trees.
The sweetest
blueberries you ever had.
We played this game where...
...you throw the berry
as high as you could.
And if you didn't catch it
in your mouth...
...the others
would get a free hit.
If you caught it...
[sighs]
...then you'd live to
fight another day.
Unit!
Good boy.
So I tell you what.
Catch this...
...we'll go on our
merry little way.
If you don't...
Are you ready?
[tense music slowly swells]
[man inhales]
[loud exhale]
May I?
[soft chuckle]
To life.
[pleased sigh]
[inhales sharply]
[exhales]

[whispering] I was really hoping
you were gonna catch it.
Because, between you and me...

hitting my brothers.
I did it 'cause I had to.

-No!
-There's a checkpoint just

-No, you can't--
It's your best option.
I need to go to a--
a boat or a ferry.
I'm-- I'm going to the island.
-[man scoffs] No, you're not.
-Yes, I am!
No one gets in
or out of the island.
-Do you understand? No one!
-[woman] You're not
listening to me!
As far as you're concerned,
there is no island.
-If I don't make it...
they will take me.
-[man] I can't help you,
-I'm sorry. I can't help you!
-They will take her and me!
-I can't help you!
-[baby lets out a cry]
[baby fussing]
[sighs] Oh, fuck.
[baby grunts]
[sighs]
[softly] Fuck.
[keys jingle]
In the back,
in the pull-out drawer,
there's 50 grand.
Take it. It's yours.
Why?
[man] Bribe the cops...
and buy your way to freedom.
[wind blowing]
Go before I change my mind.
You'll need both hands.
Put the key in,
hold it to the right,
and then with
your other hand, lift
the latch and it'll open.

There were other girls too.
They kept some of us.
Others were sold.
They would, um...
A few of the girls
fell pregnant.
It wasn't unusual.
Until they always lost it.
But I didn't.
And she came...
...healthy.
Perfect.
-[woman] Where are we?
-[handbrake engages]
What happened here?
Same thing that happened pretty
much right across the country.
The government just...
stopped servicing
remote towns like this
when the third wave really hit.
And then...
...'cause it was cheaper
than moving bodies,
they just... sealed it off.
Where are you going?
I was here about a month back,
so there might be
a few basics left.
-I'll come.

You stay here.

I'm sorry.

She was six.
There was a
bush fire at our farm.
[scattered raindrops on roof]
I was moving sheep
into another paddock.
She came looking for me.
And I just couldn't...
...find her.
She was right there.
[distant thunder rumbles]
It was just-- just...
...the smoke.
The smoke gets you
before the flames.
[music continues]
Earlier...
...when you were in the store...
[sighs] ...I nearly--
I mean...

if I can do this.
Any of this.
I don't think
I can keep running.
We run as long as we have to.

My name's Aliah.

And the baby?
I don't know yet.
[sighs] That's about
where they were keeping me.
[Mac] You sure?
In the room I was in...
...there was an old map in it.
But no... not sure.
Aliah, the people
that I work for...
...were gonna sell your baby.
And I was meant
to collect her...
...and deliver her to them.
But you weren't
part of that deal.
The problem is...
...they have my wife.
She's sick.
And she needs constant care
that I can't give her.
They're keeping her alive.
So I do what I'm told.
[soft somber music]
But I'm gonna
get you to that boat.
And we're gonna hope
that the island takes you...
...so that you and her can
get the life that you deserve.

I buried her, okay?
Bullshit.
Oh...
I buried her...
...right there...

Go on, look for yourself.
Oh, yeah?
So how'd she die?
She had a fever.
There's nothing we could do.
[sighs]
I don't know where she is.
Like everyone.
She couldn't breathe.

There was nothing we could do.
Well, this is a

Look, I'm-- I promise you.
I promise you.

You'll give me another.

[metallic click]
[panicked screams]
[sobbing]
You're the hero, huh?
[Aliah sobbing]
What did you do to my daughter?
Your daughter...
...is alive.
-No!
-[Mac] I know where she is.
-No!
-Shut up!
Hey, hey! You let her go,
and I'll take you to her.
-[Aliah] No!
-[man] Shut the fuck up.
[through panicked sobs]
No, no, I lied. I lied.
The baby's not yours.
The baby's not yours.
I was pregnant--
I was pregnant before
you found me, I swear.
Please!
Please, please, please, please.
Is that fucking right?
-She is lying.
-[Aliah] No!
-No!
-[Mac] She told me it was yours.
She had no reason to lie.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
I want everything
back the way it was.
I want justice.
I want her.
I want my daughter back.
And-- and I can get you
to your daughter.
-No!
-[man] Shut up!
[Mac] Listen, listen, listen.
You let her go...
and I'll take you to her.

You gotta go that way, okay?
You gotta trust me.
Come on, come to me. Come to me.
[sobbing]
-No.
-[Mac] You're gonna go, okay?
I'm not leaving. [sobs]
You're alright-- hey, hey, hey.
Hey...
[whispering] You take
care of yourself, okay?
You're gonna--
you're gonna be fine.
-I won't leave you.
I won't leave you.
-[Mac] You're gonna be fine.
Hey... [shushes]
You gotta go.
You gotta trust me...
You gotta go!
[breathing heavily]
I'll find her.
-[sniffles]
-[Mac] Maybe...
But at least I bought
her some time.
[panting]
You should've run...
while you had the chance.
Yeah...
But I'm about done with running.
[panting]
[sniffles]
I'm so sorry.
For everything.
[sharp inhale]
[sniffles]
[stifled sob] Come here.
[pained sobs]
Go.

Take me to my daughter now.
