Bay of Fires (2023) s02e02 Episode Script
The Chosen
You know, your town
isn't even on the map.
MAGDA: Still? After all these years.
Money attracts attention.
You have made the town porous.
That's impressive.
Clay duck becomes an alien,
with multiple suckered arms
plummeting towards Earth
from the planet Zooton.
Do I look like I care about some pledge
from some squalid tin-pot sect?
He is immortal.
You have two choices.
Take over where Frankie left off
I don't cook drugs.
Then increase our payment by 50%.
How?
We're hitting more banks this time.
You know your stories,
please stick with them.
The manager's gonna need a word.
Run, dickhead!
How bad is it?
Looks like the Russians noticed too.
Shit.
Stella Heikkinen.
Who the hell is this?
The new queen kills the old queen.
I didn't kill Frankie.
(GUNFIRE)
No, her brother did.
Then it is time for you to don
your crown and run my business.
I won't have anything to do with drugs.
That's disappointing.
- (GUNSHOT)
- (YELPS, SCREAMS)
So what would you have me do?
JEREMIAH: Leave.
I can't.
(DOG WHINES)
MAN: Good girl.
Good girl.
Yeah. He's a very bad man.
He can shoot me left nut if he isn't.
Yeah, they're always
bad men, aren't they?
They always have to die.
He owes me 58 big ones.
It's only money, John.
It's not just the money.
He's done bad things.
He's robbed his mother and
he poked people's eyes out.
- Good girl.
- There he is.
Pork pie hat.
What's wrong?
He's got a dog with him.
A dachshund.
Who cares? I didn't ask
you to shoot the dog.
It will traumatise the dog,
seeing his owner killed.
- What?
- Especially a dachshund.
They're very sensitive.
My uncle had two of them.
They could tell exactly when
he was going to leave the house.
Fuck the dog. Just
take the hit, will you?
I'm not leaving a dog
tied to a dead man.
Alright, look, I've got a
guy down there on the ground
and he is going to take
care of that dachshund.
You sure?
Would I lie to you?
You're like a brother to me.
Take the hit.
(GUNSHOT)
Come on, let's go.
(DOG WHIMPERS)
Cheer up.
(WHIMPERS)
Connor?
Hey!
Just tidying up in here.
Sammi says my car arrived yesterday.
Yes, it did. Yeah,
meant to tell you. Yeah.
Great.
What's it like?
It's good. It's good. Looked good
coming off the trailer anyway.
- It's over here, you want a look?
- Yes, please.
And Jeremiah's offered
to check it out for me.
Has he?
Well, check this out.
Oh, wow.
Oh, I love it.
Eh?
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
Was this slick here before?
Slick?
Yeah, here.
Jesus, transmission fluid?
Blimey. Didn't even check it out.
Is there a problem?
Yeah, transmission leak.
Oh, no.
Oh.
You drive it out of here anyway.
I could do without
oil all over the floor.
Not with a transmission leak, you won't.
Wouldn't make it into the street.
Probably just a loose bolt or something.
How long until you can fix it?
(SIGHS) This weight
shouldn't be falling on me.
Three days.
No charge.
I should have checked it out.
Looks like I need to borrow your truck.
Yeah, three days.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
Strangers are still finding
their way into the town.
I'm paying for border
security and protection,
none of which is happening.
Well, you can consider it
a little something towards
your spiritual betterment.
That's not what we agreed.
And I'm still being
pressured over Frankie's debt.
They want me to pick
up where she left off.
So now you're considering
drug trafficking?
Is that right?
I mean, that's a big change of heart.
How quickly you succumb to wickedness.
And do you really think I
give a crow's peck about you?
Or that sad detritus of a town?
I watch you going about your tiny lives.
You're a bacterial blight.
Nothing more.
But a reckoning is coming, Stella.
What if I stop paying our donation
and let pestilence run amok?
(LAUGHS)
By all means, you go ahead and do that.
And then perhaps you'll
see what the benefit was.
(STOPWATCH BEEPS)
48 seconds.
Pathetic!
It's four seconds better than last time.
Luck, not skill.
You're too tense.
Stiff like a plank of wood.
You wanted calm, this
is how you find calm.
I'm not a plank of wood, I
just have trouble breathing.
You said you know this stuff.
So teach me, what's the secret?
Stop breathing!
Number one rule we
had in the Olympics
What, you competed in the Olympics?
Solo synchronized swimmer.
How does that work?
You hold for four minutes
and you look pretty while
doing gymnastics in the water.
You sit at the bottom of the pool
and look like a lumpy
bullfrog for 46 seconds.
And I know I can do better.
Mm. Maybe.
Breathe in through the mouth.
And while you're down there,
think about how you're going to
get me all the money you lost.
Go.
We need to talk to you.
Everyone in town wants to know
what you're doing
about getting our money.
We haven't been paid in two weeks.
Two weeks, three days, actually.
I've still got eight
payments left on my card.
And I need a new ski outfit.
You promised us untold riches.
I delivered and you
promptly squandered it.
Did a single one of you even think
of investing some of the money?
- Hmm?
- Why would we do that?
So you could
Forget it.
Because of your relentless greed
it got shut off.
So you're working on it, then?
Getting the money flowing again?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
(DOOR CLOSES)
How much money do I
actually have in my account?
Like $80,000 and something.
Is that all?
Hands off the keyboard, lady.
Sacred space.
If you mess up the security
wall, everyone is exposed.
So what do you need?
I read something, admittedly,
a few days ago now,
but it should still stand.
Gus Norton is moving from Allied
Holdings to Resnick Equity.
So their share price will
drop dramatically overnight.
But in the wings is Edwina Hayes.
Never heard of her.
Well, if she gets the job, and she
will, she's a rock star, it'll fly.
They could trade up by 60%.
We could make some easy money.
On stocks and shares?
Well, it's worth a try.
We need to get rich quick.
You and everyone else on the planet.
I don't want to be a drug maker.
So invest everything
I've got and watch it.
If it climbs like I think, it
should hit high around noon tomorrow,
and then we sell.
OK.
That is impressive.
It really is.
Hey, darling.
Is that a roast chicken?
I got it from the cafe. It's not bad.
That must have cost you at least $38.
Not necessarily.
What does that mean?
It didn't necessarily cost $38.
You stole it?
They've been ripping us off.
Everyone steals,
especially in this town.
Not everyone here is a thief.
Mmm. But some of them
are just murderers.
I don't want you
turning into a criminal.
It's just half a chicken.
That's how it always starts,
with just half a chicken.
Right. And next time, I
might take a whole chicken.
OK, this is not funny.
You know, you used to have
some ambition at least.
I mean, where is the son
I knew in Melbourne? Hmm?
When did you know me in Melbourne? Hmm?
Just do something worthwhile. Yeah?
Seize the opportunities.
What opportunities?
What can I do here?
Any ideas?
Plenty.
Plenty of ideas.
What about an apprenticeship?
Hm? You don't want to go to school.
Why not talk to Connor?
Connor's gone.
What?
- Yep, lava.
- And the toaster oven.
- I've got that. Yep.
- My driving gloves.
The sheepskin-lined driving gloves.
And my espresso maker
Italian imported.
Golf clubs, new set.
Since when do you play golf?
I was going to learn, mate.
What's going on here?
It would appear there
has been a major theft,
which I'm currently investigating
as part of normal police procedure.
Who stole what?
ALL: Connor.
His current whereabouts
are currently unknown.
Maybe he's dead.
Like Manfred.
OK, so what Sorry,
what did Connor steal?
Pretty much everything.
Any sign of a water pump?
No, but you'll see one jet ski.
My 85-inch smart screen
It's not up to me to fix this.
OK, I'm not your mother.
You are an adult.
Seriously, I don't know
how he could fit all this
in just a caravan and Stella's car.
My ne
(SIGHS)
No! No, no!
- We need to find him and kill him.
- Hey
Kill the man who's been living
with you for 20-odd years?
I didn't say it wouldn't be sad.
Well, that's a relief.
What's a relief?
He didn't take my water pump.
Deal with it.
Hey
(ALL SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER INDISTINCTLY)
I've got the gloves,
I've got the palm trees
If Connor can get out of here
without anyone noticing, so can we.
I don't know.
In what? He's stolen my car.
My truck.
Sorry, your truck?
The same one that doesn't
have a second gear?
I don't need a second gear. I just
go straight up from first to third.
These people are relying on me.
I'm a good boss and they owe me.
I spent all my money protecting
them and keeping the town safe.
You know, I wanted to
make their lives better
and all they did was buy shit.
Then stop trying to protect them.
Someone has to. I can't leave now.
I read a calendar quote once.
It said, "I've never faced a
problem too big to walk away from."
Wow, that's a great philosophy.
If this is about Luang
Prabang, spare me.
If you really want to help
me, go speak to my son.
- (SIGHS) Why me?
- Steer him in the right direction.
A couple of good whacks over the ear?
No! No. No hitting.
Worked for my old man.
No violence.
You know, I lost the egg money once.
My old man made me spend the
day cleaning out the septic tank.
Yeah, that's more what I mean.
Tough love.
Father, the garden is not
producing as it was before.
Not since your wife left.
She didn't leave.
She was drawn to the fires of hell.
Where she'll burn for eternity.
She cursed the vegetable
garden before she left.
The crop is dead.
Or
It's dying.
Then burn it.
And replant it.
As you say, Father.
May we have an audience with you?
We were hoping that you
might see it in your heart
to grant us permission to be wed.
And you're of an age to procreate?
Yes.
Well
you're of good stock.
Your offspring will be strong.
So we have your blessing?
I will confer with God.
Fear not God's decision.
He doesn't make mistakes.
They're all here for the arrival?
Oh, yeah.
Every single one of us, brother.
I thought I was the only one.
Welcome.
Ta.
For the lights.
Thanks.
Been any contact yet?
No, not as yet.
But they're up there.
They're watching us.
Yeah, I reckon they were
tracking me on the way in.
Is that so?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I've been a person of
interest to them for some time now.
Well, you know what?
I reckon you're going to find out why.
Real soon.
Thank God you're just in time
for the momentous event, brother.
Want another beer?
Oh, no. I've got me own brew.
Can't trust what they put
in your drinks these days.
Mind control.
Got to the beer too, have they?
First it was chocolate, then shampoo.
Yes, sirree.
Beer, potato chips,
peanut butter, anchovies.
Even toothpaste.
I had to avoid the
indoctrination, now, hey?
No, no truer word was said.
They won't be happy until
they turn us all into robots.
Maybe I'll have one of yours.
Yeah, go ahead.
Help yourself.
I'm 93% self-sufficient.
Yeah?
Even make my own clothes.
This suit, 100% rubber.
Stops the magma rays dead.
Lovely stitching.
Yeah, yep.
Gets a little bit clammy
in the summer months,
but you know, that's the price you pay.
Word is these visitors are
from a Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
Yeah, they could be hostile.
Or they could be friendly.
They don't always want to take you
up to the mothership and probe you.
Sometimes they just want
to offer you a better life.
Yeah.
It's always what I thought
happened with my Evelyn.
Lovely name.
Friend?
My wife.
Oh.
22 years gone now.
She went to the corner shop for a
roast chicken, just never came back.
How many times have I heard that story?
That's the way they like to snatch 'em.
Never been able to eat
roast chicken since.
Eggs too, I expect.
Yeah.
That lot over there,
they've been eating nothing but
chicken for the past two days.
The family?
Yeah.
When the visitors dropped to
see you back in the year dot,
they were all reds.
Every single one of us has
been descended from them.
Thought that was just a rumour.
No, no, no, no rumour, nah.
Fact.
They say some of the redheads
are still in contact
with the mothership.
Maybe those ones.
Be advised, give them wide berths.
Don't go stern at the redhead.
They're holier, brother,
holier than me and thou.
Yeah, right.
Another beer, friend?
No, I'm alright.
(WIND HOWLS)
OTIS: You do know ghosts
can't logically exist, right?
I know what I hear.
Yeah, but like, if ghosts
can go through walls,
there's no way they're going to
get caught up in a piece of string.
They will if the string
has been dipped in salt.
I read it in the Book Of Spectres,
Apparitions And Ghouls
In The Modern World.
Otis, stop what you're doing, please.
Jeremiah needs to talk to you.
Right now?
Yep.
Time you got off your backside
and bring your damn jacket.
Where are we even going?
I need some help to unblock
the septic tank at home.
Seriously?
Got some gumboots in the truck for you.
Outside, right now!
I'm serious, mate. Let's go.
I don't believe this.
Tough enough?
So what's the good news?
How did we go?
Well, I did warn you, didn't I?
Really?
It crashed.
I sold when you told me to, but
you lost 96 cents on the dollar.
Shit.
That's the last of it.
I am totally broke.
Looks like it.
Guess that narrows the options?
Options?
I don't have any options.
Not anymore.
(THUNDER CRACKS)
So this is where misery is born.
Do we have everything we need?
Uh
Might need some more barrels,
extra drain tubs, rubber tubing.
And, oh, I'm going to need
that $5,000 we agreed on.
You'll get it. Once this is
done and I can access the cash.
Right.
Great. What else?
Uh
Ammonium chloride, acetone.
Oh, evaporators.
Frankie put them over here.
(CLATTERING)
So, don't
Don't even worry about that stuff.
I'll fix that up later.
So when can we get started?
Um, well, I was in charge
of crushing and extraction.
And then Frankie would
come in in the, um
you know the filtration
and pressing stage?
But, yeah, she wrote it all down
on a piece of paper somewhere.
What, wrote it down?
You don't remember it?
No, it's a lot of steps.
Yeah.
Tarquin?
Tarquin.
Yeah?
I need you to find that piece of paper.
This is a matter of life and death.
My life and my death.
No worries, I'll check
my other pair of pants.
I am the conduit of God.
I am the prophet.
I come to you with a message.
There will be three marriages.
(MEMBERS CLICK ROCKS TOGETHER)
Sarah, you will be bound to Ezekiel.
Leah, you will be bound to Noah.
Becca, you have been granted
the highest privilege.
You have permission to be wed to me
and from this day on to be my wife.
You will have the honour of
ushering through the line
But I thought
You thought what?
That God had made an error?
No.
The honour is yours to obey,
Rebecca, not to question.
You will be the Holy Mother
and be given all the glory
that comes with being my wife.
And through me, and only me,
you will be closer to God.
You may prepare for the wedding.
(CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
We shouldn't be meeting in here.
You're betrothed to the Father.
No, I'm marrying you.
No, that's that's impossible now.
One of the girls heard
from Mother Bethel.
She's made a house in the city.
I don't care, and you shouldn't either.
If we ever wanted to
leave, we could go to her.
Our role is to stay here
and serve the Father.
We could marry outside.
Why would we want to do that?
Because I want to be with you and
I thought you wanted to be with me.
His choosing you is a blessing.
You'll be honoured to marry the Father.
But it is you I care for.
Please, Rebecca, go back to your room.
I'm so sorry, Evelyn.
I should have come with you.
MAN: Thank you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you for coming, ma'am.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for coming, ma'am.
WOMAN: Thank you so much. Thank you.
Is there a wake after the service?
Yes.
Catered?
MAN: To those who loved Robert,
man of integrity and principles
husband to Rebecca and father
to Courtney and Hamish
and my very good friend
here's to you, Robert.
Keep a seat for us on the other side.
(WOMAN WEEPS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- WOMAN: It was a lovely service.
- Cheers. Thank you.
Hi. How are you? Thanks for coming.
Brother-in-law.
Wife's brother.
She's devastated, as you can imagine.
But I'm Robert's wife.
First wife's brother.
Excuse me.
What happened to
cleaning the septic tank?
(LAUGHS)
Oh, we can do it later if you like.
(BOTH LAUGH)
- One more?
- Yeah.
I'll have one.
Vodka.
Make it a double. Put it on his bill.
Kayaking?
He said you took him kayaking.
So did you even say anything to him?
Or Thanks.
Yeah. I told him we
might go fishing later on.
So you did nothing?
I let him talk.
The last thing that boy needs
is someone yelling
directions at him right now.
Direction is exactly
what he needs right now.
And what happened to the tough
love? Cleaning out the septic tank?
(LAUGHS)
I didn't talk to my old man for
six months after he made me do that.
Is that what you want?
You know what?
Forget it. Forget Thursdays.
Forget all of it.
You can come over our place for
tea Thursday night if you want.
I might do that.
Cool.
You can cook.
Here it is.
There's some samosas left.
I could wrap some up, you
can take them with you.
Better than letting them
go to waste, isn't it?
Where do you call home, son?
- (JEREMIAH LAUGHS)
- WOMAN: Just with your ears, yeah?
Amazing.
(CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
(LAUGHTER)
See ya. (LAUGHS)
Hey there.
So listen, about today
Thanks for organising the kayaking.
Seriously cool.
And you should come along next time.
Oh.
Well, good. I'm glad I thought of it.
Goodnight, sweetie.
Goodnight, Mum.
Cornflakes?
Isn't it a bit late for that?
I'm still hungry.
I want to try the new honey.
OK.
(SCREAMS) What is that?!
Wh
Oh, um
I've reached an age.
I think I'm ready.
Uh-huh. For what?
For us to be together in Luang Prabang.
So, um, let's go.
Now? You're joking, right?
Yeah, we're packed and ready to leave.
We need to think about this.
I've been thinking all night. Let's go.
Well, I haven't been thinking about
it all night. I've been asleep.
I knew it.
You haven't even spoken to him about it.
It was his plan to leave
town and start a new life.
No, it was my idea and you rejected it.
And having thought about
it, I am now acting on it.
Mwah!
We'll meet you at your truck.
- Come on, kids.
- Yuck.
Bags in the back, yeah?
(DOORBELL CHIMES)
MAN: Well, fuck me.
If it isn't Sean McDougall.
(DOOR BUZZES, UNLOCKS)
So, how long has it been?
15 or 16 years?
(SCOFFS)
I figured you'd slipped
into witness protection,
so many out to get you.
But here you are.
And you brought your
own chair with you, too.
I had a close encounter.
They took everything.
They took entire families.
Where you been hiding
out all this time, then?
I mean, mass abductions
ain't that unusual,
but they usually leave the
caravans and tents behind.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
So, what brings you
back into my town, then?
Looking for a loan, John.
Just some money to get back home.
Where is home, then, Sean?
I'm going to pay you back,
obviously, with interest.
- (KETTLE DINGS)
- Oh, yes, no doubt you will.
No doubt.
But, the thing is, you see,
is I haven't loaned anyone a
dollar since I was 12 years old
and got stiffed.
And I'm certainly not
going to start now.
It's just some travelling money is all.
We all need some travelling money, Sean.
But, I tell you what,
there might be a way that I
might be able to help you out.
See, I've got this full
book that needs thinning.
Plenty of walking stiffs out
there and no one to hit them.
No, I stopped shooting people, John.
More or less.
I'm not that not that guy anymore.
Yeah. Yeah, you've
moved on now, have you?
You're just a guy who walks
around with a pink flamingo.
Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
You know, a pocket full
of cash will go a long way
to helping you disappear again.
I ain't done a hit in 20 years.
It's just like riding a bike.
Only more fun.
I don't suppose that dachshund
is still alive, is it?
What dachshund?
The one you went back
for after the Seddon hit.
You did go back for it, didn't you?
Oh, yes, that dachshund.
Mitzi.
Oh, you know, I treated
it like it was a prince.
It only went belly-up a couple
of months back there now.
Died in my arms.
I was heartbroken.
Here we go, Joey Talarto.
It says here he's hiding
out in northern Thailand.
They'll never find him.
You know her?
Nah, just looks like
someone I used to know.
Yeah, rich bitch.
She crossed some Russians
over some corporate shit.
Now she's on the run.
They sent some Chechens after
her but they disappeared.
So she's still on the run, is she?
Eh.
Oh, nah, too late for this one.
They're sending a a
talisman out after her.
A talisman?
Only six in the world and
no-one knows who they are.
She'll be sliced up
finer than sushi meat.
Right. Who's next?
Oh, here we go.
35-year-old car salesman
with a gambling problem.
Easy 10K.
It's an ArmaLite.
What?
My weapon. It's an ArmaLite. AR-180.
I prefer the Colt AR-15.
That's all I could get.
Jesus Christ, your finger's missing.
Only half of it.
It's not missing technically,
it's at home in the fridge.
I was going to try sewing it
back on but it wouldn't look much,
especially trying to
do it with my left hand.
I had a cousin who tried
that with his big toe
Yeah, right, yeah.
Yeah, you can still shoot though?
I mean, that's your
trigger finger, isn't it?
Yeah, I can still shoot.
Most of the time.
Good, because this
has to be clean, right?
This man is a bad man.
What's he done?
Oh, he's
he's burned people's houses down
and he's poisoned kids' dogs,
sunk a bloke's boat,
and he owes me and a bunch of
other blokes a lot of money.
Why did he poison dogs for?
How should I know? Bloke's a sicko.
Hey!
Hey, I've got to warn you!
They're going to kill you.
- (LAUGHS)
- Nothing I don't already know, mate.
- You know how it is.
- Not the fags.
I mean, they will,
but not as fast as the
people you owe money to.
Who are you?
I'm the bloke they hired to kill you.
- Oh, shit.
- You've got to go.
You've got to get out of town.
(SCOFFS) How, mate?
I'm bust, alright?
Here.
That's all I got.
I know who you are.
I know where you're from.
You just do me one favour.
You see my wife, Evelyn, you
tell her I still love her, OK?
- Evelyn?
- You can't miss her.
She's got a sunflower frock on
and light green Angora cardigan.
It was quite chilly that day.
Um
What day?
You've got to go.
Get out of here. They'll be here soon.
Go.
Go!
JEREMIAH: No-one's following
us. I think we're clear.
Great.
Yeah, you know, maybe we
shouldn't go to Luang Prabang.
You just told me that's
where you wanted to go.
I said that to get you moving.
As if I can live in a place
with that constant humidity.
What's Luang Prabang?
It's a place we're
not going, sweetheart.
OK. Thailand.
Well, the same.
One season. Hot. I get
irritated in the heat.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I can't imagine you
ever getting irritated.
This is just getting better and better.
Paris.
That's where we should go.
It's got a temperate
climate, stylish architecture.
I can't speak French.
You can learn.
I can't live in Paris.
Everyone's unpleasant.
And I can't speak French either.
Well, Milan, then.
(SIGHS)
I can consider Fiji.
What is your ambition in life?
To spend all day wandering
around in a sarong?
Some days I might want to wear shorts.
We should have talked about this.
I did talk about it.
You should have listened.
Can you stop driving so erratically?
I'm not driving erratically.
You are winding all over the road.
It's called avoiding potholes.
Anyway, wherever we do end
up, it's going to be great.
It's a brand-new start.
Shit.
We can either run them over
or ask them nicely to move.
I think the second option has
the least chance of success.
I'll go talk to him.
You're not going to stop us leaving.
If you want to run, you go right ahead.
We won't get in the way.
That'll be his task.
You see, I've entered into
an arrangement with him.
He's going to continue to
support the good work that we do.
So any agreement that you
and I had, it's cancelled.
Start the motor.
- What did he say?
- Start reversing.
- For 12 kilometres?
- (ENGINE REVS)
What's that noise?
- (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)
- (GEARS GRIND)
- (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(GEARS GRIND)
(ENGINE REVS, GEARS GRIND LOUDER)
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
What are you doing here?
So you're here to swim laps or is
there something I can help you with?
I'm here to help you.
But we didn't get a
chance to talk earlier.
You left in such a rush.
I wasn't in the mood for conversation.
I'm concerned that you would think
that you could leave before
you'd fulfilled your obligations.
I think you should seek your stimulation
closer to home from now on.
I don't see much travel in your future.
That is assuming you want a future.
And do you come to me pure,
ready to serve God as two entwined,
to obey the prophet
without question or doubt?
BOYS: If it is God's will.
I speak with his voice.
And do I have witnesses
devoted and true?
ALL: Yes, Father.
It is my destiny now to take a wife.
So said my vision.
Praise me for I am eternal.
(ROCKS CLATTER)
Now it has come that I am to share
my immortality with this girl,
so she be blessed with a
long life equal to my own.
I will guarantee her a
life exceeding 200 years
and that will be my
gift to her as she
Oh, please!
Sorry.
Am I interrupting
something important here?
Vicky.
I thought I was dead.
But it turned out I was
just at the bottom of a lake.
So once I crawled my way out of there
and then had the four bullets removed,
it turned out
I was as good as new.
Well, I'm very relieved to hear that.
You're not going to ask me questions
about our dear brother Arthur?
He lived longer than he was meant to.
Mmm.
He loved you.
Oh, please.
That kind of love is nothing
more than a trade for attention.
(LAUGHS) So
What's going on here, then, hey?
It's time I married.
Her?
But she's just a kid. She's barely 18.
And with my gift of immortality,
she will remain 18 for eternity.
Don't tell me you've come to actually
believe your own deluded crap!
I am immortal.
I am a prophet given
the gift of eternity.
Oh
Bless.
Mmm!
How divine!
(CONGREGATION GASPS)
(LAUGHS)
(GURGLES)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
(SOBBING)
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't you waste your time mourning him.
He was never anything more
than a self-serving fake.
Turns out
I'm the immortal one.
MAGDA: You have been gone for 427 days.
What on earth happened to you?
All that matters is that
I'm home now. Come on.
Frankie returns from the dead
and your plan is to just watch?
STELLA: We've got several other psychos
I've got to deal with right now.
I hope you don't mind
me dropping around.
Can we talk about a
business arrangement?
And what would you bring to the table?
Well, we weren't expecting
you till next week.
We're with Special Ops.
It's part of a separate inquiry.
Don't you worry.
Because, oh, how they shall pay.
isn't even on the map.
MAGDA: Still? After all these years.
Money attracts attention.
You have made the town porous.
That's impressive.
Clay duck becomes an alien,
with multiple suckered arms
plummeting towards Earth
from the planet Zooton.
Do I look like I care about some pledge
from some squalid tin-pot sect?
He is immortal.
You have two choices.
Take over where Frankie left off
I don't cook drugs.
Then increase our payment by 50%.
How?
We're hitting more banks this time.
You know your stories,
please stick with them.
The manager's gonna need a word.
Run, dickhead!
How bad is it?
Looks like the Russians noticed too.
Shit.
Stella Heikkinen.
Who the hell is this?
The new queen kills the old queen.
I didn't kill Frankie.
(GUNFIRE)
No, her brother did.
Then it is time for you to don
your crown and run my business.
I won't have anything to do with drugs.
That's disappointing.
- (GUNSHOT)
- (YELPS, SCREAMS)
So what would you have me do?
JEREMIAH: Leave.
I can't.
(DOG WHINES)
MAN: Good girl.
Good girl.
Yeah. He's a very bad man.
He can shoot me left nut if he isn't.
Yeah, they're always
bad men, aren't they?
They always have to die.
He owes me 58 big ones.
It's only money, John.
It's not just the money.
He's done bad things.
He's robbed his mother and
he poked people's eyes out.
- Good girl.
- There he is.
Pork pie hat.
What's wrong?
He's got a dog with him.
A dachshund.
Who cares? I didn't ask
you to shoot the dog.
It will traumatise the dog,
seeing his owner killed.
- What?
- Especially a dachshund.
They're very sensitive.
My uncle had two of them.
They could tell exactly when
he was going to leave the house.
Fuck the dog. Just
take the hit, will you?
I'm not leaving a dog
tied to a dead man.
Alright, look, I've got a
guy down there on the ground
and he is going to take
care of that dachshund.
You sure?
Would I lie to you?
You're like a brother to me.
Take the hit.
(GUNSHOT)
Come on, let's go.
(DOG WHIMPERS)
Cheer up.
(WHIMPERS)
Connor?
Hey!
Just tidying up in here.
Sammi says my car arrived yesterday.
Yes, it did. Yeah,
meant to tell you. Yeah.
Great.
What's it like?
It's good. It's good. Looked good
coming off the trailer anyway.
- It's over here, you want a look?
- Yes, please.
And Jeremiah's offered
to check it out for me.
Has he?
Well, check this out.
Oh, wow.
Oh, I love it.
Eh?
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
Was this slick here before?
Slick?
Yeah, here.
Jesus, transmission fluid?
Blimey. Didn't even check it out.
Is there a problem?
Yeah, transmission leak.
Oh, no.
Oh.
You drive it out of here anyway.
I could do without
oil all over the floor.
Not with a transmission leak, you won't.
Wouldn't make it into the street.
Probably just a loose bolt or something.
How long until you can fix it?
(SIGHS) This weight
shouldn't be falling on me.
Three days.
No charge.
I should have checked it out.
Looks like I need to borrow your truck.
Yeah, three days.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
Strangers are still finding
their way into the town.
I'm paying for border
security and protection,
none of which is happening.
Well, you can consider it
a little something towards
your spiritual betterment.
That's not what we agreed.
And I'm still being
pressured over Frankie's debt.
They want me to pick
up where she left off.
So now you're considering
drug trafficking?
Is that right?
I mean, that's a big change of heart.
How quickly you succumb to wickedness.
And do you really think I
give a crow's peck about you?
Or that sad detritus of a town?
I watch you going about your tiny lives.
You're a bacterial blight.
Nothing more.
But a reckoning is coming, Stella.
What if I stop paying our donation
and let pestilence run amok?
(LAUGHS)
By all means, you go ahead and do that.
And then perhaps you'll
see what the benefit was.
(STOPWATCH BEEPS)
48 seconds.
Pathetic!
It's four seconds better than last time.
Luck, not skill.
You're too tense.
Stiff like a plank of wood.
You wanted calm, this
is how you find calm.
I'm not a plank of wood, I
just have trouble breathing.
You said you know this stuff.
So teach me, what's the secret?
Stop breathing!
Number one rule we
had in the Olympics
What, you competed in the Olympics?
Solo synchronized swimmer.
How does that work?
You hold for four minutes
and you look pretty while
doing gymnastics in the water.
You sit at the bottom of the pool
and look like a lumpy
bullfrog for 46 seconds.
And I know I can do better.
Mm. Maybe.
Breathe in through the mouth.
And while you're down there,
think about how you're going to
get me all the money you lost.
Go.
We need to talk to you.
Everyone in town wants to know
what you're doing
about getting our money.
We haven't been paid in two weeks.
Two weeks, three days, actually.
I've still got eight
payments left on my card.
And I need a new ski outfit.
You promised us untold riches.
I delivered and you
promptly squandered it.
Did a single one of you even think
of investing some of the money?
- Hmm?
- Why would we do that?
So you could
Forget it.
Because of your relentless greed
it got shut off.
So you're working on it, then?
Getting the money flowing again?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
(DOOR CLOSES)
How much money do I
actually have in my account?
Like $80,000 and something.
Is that all?
Hands off the keyboard, lady.
Sacred space.
If you mess up the security
wall, everyone is exposed.
So what do you need?
I read something, admittedly,
a few days ago now,
but it should still stand.
Gus Norton is moving from Allied
Holdings to Resnick Equity.
So their share price will
drop dramatically overnight.
But in the wings is Edwina Hayes.
Never heard of her.
Well, if she gets the job, and she
will, she's a rock star, it'll fly.
They could trade up by 60%.
We could make some easy money.
On stocks and shares?
Well, it's worth a try.
We need to get rich quick.
You and everyone else on the planet.
I don't want to be a drug maker.
So invest everything
I've got and watch it.
If it climbs like I think, it
should hit high around noon tomorrow,
and then we sell.
OK.
That is impressive.
It really is.
Hey, darling.
Is that a roast chicken?
I got it from the cafe. It's not bad.
That must have cost you at least $38.
Not necessarily.
What does that mean?
It didn't necessarily cost $38.
You stole it?
They've been ripping us off.
Everyone steals,
especially in this town.
Not everyone here is a thief.
Mmm. But some of them
are just murderers.
I don't want you
turning into a criminal.
It's just half a chicken.
That's how it always starts,
with just half a chicken.
Right. And next time, I
might take a whole chicken.
OK, this is not funny.
You know, you used to have
some ambition at least.
I mean, where is the son
I knew in Melbourne? Hmm?
When did you know me in Melbourne? Hmm?
Just do something worthwhile. Yeah?
Seize the opportunities.
What opportunities?
What can I do here?
Any ideas?
Plenty.
Plenty of ideas.
What about an apprenticeship?
Hm? You don't want to go to school.
Why not talk to Connor?
Connor's gone.
What?
- Yep, lava.
- And the toaster oven.
- I've got that. Yep.
- My driving gloves.
The sheepskin-lined driving gloves.
And my espresso maker
Italian imported.
Golf clubs, new set.
Since when do you play golf?
I was going to learn, mate.
What's going on here?
It would appear there
has been a major theft,
which I'm currently investigating
as part of normal police procedure.
Who stole what?
ALL: Connor.
His current whereabouts
are currently unknown.
Maybe he's dead.
Like Manfred.
OK, so what Sorry,
what did Connor steal?
Pretty much everything.
Any sign of a water pump?
No, but you'll see one jet ski.
My 85-inch smart screen
It's not up to me to fix this.
OK, I'm not your mother.
You are an adult.
Seriously, I don't know
how he could fit all this
in just a caravan and Stella's car.
My ne
(SIGHS)
No! No, no!
- We need to find him and kill him.
- Hey
Kill the man who's been living
with you for 20-odd years?
I didn't say it wouldn't be sad.
Well, that's a relief.
What's a relief?
He didn't take my water pump.
Deal with it.
Hey
(ALL SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER INDISTINCTLY)
I've got the gloves,
I've got the palm trees
If Connor can get out of here
without anyone noticing, so can we.
I don't know.
In what? He's stolen my car.
My truck.
Sorry, your truck?
The same one that doesn't
have a second gear?
I don't need a second gear. I just
go straight up from first to third.
These people are relying on me.
I'm a good boss and they owe me.
I spent all my money protecting
them and keeping the town safe.
You know, I wanted to
make their lives better
and all they did was buy shit.
Then stop trying to protect them.
Someone has to. I can't leave now.
I read a calendar quote once.
It said, "I've never faced a
problem too big to walk away from."
Wow, that's a great philosophy.
If this is about Luang
Prabang, spare me.
If you really want to help
me, go speak to my son.
- (SIGHS) Why me?
- Steer him in the right direction.
A couple of good whacks over the ear?
No! No. No hitting.
Worked for my old man.
No violence.
You know, I lost the egg money once.
My old man made me spend the
day cleaning out the septic tank.
Yeah, that's more what I mean.
Tough love.
Father, the garden is not
producing as it was before.
Not since your wife left.
She didn't leave.
She was drawn to the fires of hell.
Where she'll burn for eternity.
She cursed the vegetable
garden before she left.
The crop is dead.
Or
It's dying.
Then burn it.
And replant it.
As you say, Father.
May we have an audience with you?
We were hoping that you
might see it in your heart
to grant us permission to be wed.
And you're of an age to procreate?
Yes.
Well
you're of good stock.
Your offspring will be strong.
So we have your blessing?
I will confer with God.
Fear not God's decision.
He doesn't make mistakes.
They're all here for the arrival?
Oh, yeah.
Every single one of us, brother.
I thought I was the only one.
Welcome.
Ta.
For the lights.
Thanks.
Been any contact yet?
No, not as yet.
But they're up there.
They're watching us.
Yeah, I reckon they were
tracking me on the way in.
Is that so?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I've been a person of
interest to them for some time now.
Well, you know what?
I reckon you're going to find out why.
Real soon.
Thank God you're just in time
for the momentous event, brother.
Want another beer?
Oh, no. I've got me own brew.
Can't trust what they put
in your drinks these days.
Mind control.
Got to the beer too, have they?
First it was chocolate, then shampoo.
Yes, sirree.
Beer, potato chips,
peanut butter, anchovies.
Even toothpaste.
I had to avoid the
indoctrination, now, hey?
No, no truer word was said.
They won't be happy until
they turn us all into robots.
Maybe I'll have one of yours.
Yeah, go ahead.
Help yourself.
I'm 93% self-sufficient.
Yeah?
Even make my own clothes.
This suit, 100% rubber.
Stops the magma rays dead.
Lovely stitching.
Yeah, yep.
Gets a little bit clammy
in the summer months,
but you know, that's the price you pay.
Word is these visitors are
from a Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
Yeah, they could be hostile.
Or they could be friendly.
They don't always want to take you
up to the mothership and probe you.
Sometimes they just want
to offer you a better life.
Yeah.
It's always what I thought
happened with my Evelyn.
Lovely name.
Friend?
My wife.
Oh.
22 years gone now.
She went to the corner shop for a
roast chicken, just never came back.
How many times have I heard that story?
That's the way they like to snatch 'em.
Never been able to eat
roast chicken since.
Eggs too, I expect.
Yeah.
That lot over there,
they've been eating nothing but
chicken for the past two days.
The family?
Yeah.
When the visitors dropped to
see you back in the year dot,
they were all reds.
Every single one of us has
been descended from them.
Thought that was just a rumour.
No, no, no, no rumour, nah.
Fact.
They say some of the redheads
are still in contact
with the mothership.
Maybe those ones.
Be advised, give them wide berths.
Don't go stern at the redhead.
They're holier, brother,
holier than me and thou.
Yeah, right.
Another beer, friend?
No, I'm alright.
(WIND HOWLS)
OTIS: You do know ghosts
can't logically exist, right?
I know what I hear.
Yeah, but like, if ghosts
can go through walls,
there's no way they're going to
get caught up in a piece of string.
They will if the string
has been dipped in salt.
I read it in the Book Of Spectres,
Apparitions And Ghouls
In The Modern World.
Otis, stop what you're doing, please.
Jeremiah needs to talk to you.
Right now?
Yep.
Time you got off your backside
and bring your damn jacket.
Where are we even going?
I need some help to unblock
the septic tank at home.
Seriously?
Got some gumboots in the truck for you.
Outside, right now!
I'm serious, mate. Let's go.
I don't believe this.
Tough enough?
So what's the good news?
How did we go?
Well, I did warn you, didn't I?
Really?
It crashed.
I sold when you told me to, but
you lost 96 cents on the dollar.
Shit.
That's the last of it.
I am totally broke.
Looks like it.
Guess that narrows the options?
Options?
I don't have any options.
Not anymore.
(THUNDER CRACKS)
So this is where misery is born.
Do we have everything we need?
Uh
Might need some more barrels,
extra drain tubs, rubber tubing.
And, oh, I'm going to need
that $5,000 we agreed on.
You'll get it. Once this is
done and I can access the cash.
Right.
Great. What else?
Uh
Ammonium chloride, acetone.
Oh, evaporators.
Frankie put them over here.
(CLATTERING)
So, don't
Don't even worry about that stuff.
I'll fix that up later.
So when can we get started?
Um, well, I was in charge
of crushing and extraction.
And then Frankie would
come in in the, um
you know the filtration
and pressing stage?
But, yeah, she wrote it all down
on a piece of paper somewhere.
What, wrote it down?
You don't remember it?
No, it's a lot of steps.
Yeah.
Tarquin?
Tarquin.
Yeah?
I need you to find that piece of paper.
This is a matter of life and death.
My life and my death.
No worries, I'll check
my other pair of pants.
I am the conduit of God.
I am the prophet.
I come to you with a message.
There will be three marriages.
(MEMBERS CLICK ROCKS TOGETHER)
Sarah, you will be bound to Ezekiel.
Leah, you will be bound to Noah.
Becca, you have been granted
the highest privilege.
You have permission to be wed to me
and from this day on to be my wife.
You will have the honour of
ushering through the line
But I thought
You thought what?
That God had made an error?
No.
The honour is yours to obey,
Rebecca, not to question.
You will be the Holy Mother
and be given all the glory
that comes with being my wife.
And through me, and only me,
you will be closer to God.
You may prepare for the wedding.
(CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
We shouldn't be meeting in here.
You're betrothed to the Father.
No, I'm marrying you.
No, that's that's impossible now.
One of the girls heard
from Mother Bethel.
She's made a house in the city.
I don't care, and you shouldn't either.
If we ever wanted to
leave, we could go to her.
Our role is to stay here
and serve the Father.
We could marry outside.
Why would we want to do that?
Because I want to be with you and
I thought you wanted to be with me.
His choosing you is a blessing.
You'll be honoured to marry the Father.
But it is you I care for.
Please, Rebecca, go back to your room.
I'm so sorry, Evelyn.
I should have come with you.
MAN: Thank you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you for coming, ma'am.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for coming, ma'am.
WOMAN: Thank you so much. Thank you.
Is there a wake after the service?
Yes.
Catered?
MAN: To those who loved Robert,
man of integrity and principles
husband to Rebecca and father
to Courtney and Hamish
and my very good friend
here's to you, Robert.
Keep a seat for us on the other side.
(WOMAN WEEPS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- WOMAN: It was a lovely service.
- Cheers. Thank you.
Hi. How are you? Thanks for coming.
Brother-in-law.
Wife's brother.
She's devastated, as you can imagine.
But I'm Robert's wife.
First wife's brother.
Excuse me.
What happened to
cleaning the septic tank?
(LAUGHS)
Oh, we can do it later if you like.
(BOTH LAUGH)
- One more?
- Yeah.
I'll have one.
Vodka.
Make it a double. Put it on his bill.
Kayaking?
He said you took him kayaking.
So did you even say anything to him?
Or Thanks.
Yeah. I told him we
might go fishing later on.
So you did nothing?
I let him talk.
The last thing that boy needs
is someone yelling
directions at him right now.
Direction is exactly
what he needs right now.
And what happened to the tough
love? Cleaning out the septic tank?
(LAUGHS)
I didn't talk to my old man for
six months after he made me do that.
Is that what you want?
You know what?
Forget it. Forget Thursdays.
Forget all of it.
You can come over our place for
tea Thursday night if you want.
I might do that.
Cool.
You can cook.
Here it is.
There's some samosas left.
I could wrap some up, you
can take them with you.
Better than letting them
go to waste, isn't it?
Where do you call home, son?
- (JEREMIAH LAUGHS)
- WOMAN: Just with your ears, yeah?
Amazing.
(CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
(LAUGHTER)
See ya. (LAUGHS)
Hey there.
So listen, about today
Thanks for organising the kayaking.
Seriously cool.
And you should come along next time.
Oh.
Well, good. I'm glad I thought of it.
Goodnight, sweetie.
Goodnight, Mum.
Cornflakes?
Isn't it a bit late for that?
I'm still hungry.
I want to try the new honey.
OK.
(SCREAMS) What is that?!
Wh
Oh, um
I've reached an age.
I think I'm ready.
Uh-huh. For what?
For us to be together in Luang Prabang.
So, um, let's go.
Now? You're joking, right?
Yeah, we're packed and ready to leave.
We need to think about this.
I've been thinking all night. Let's go.
Well, I haven't been thinking about
it all night. I've been asleep.
I knew it.
You haven't even spoken to him about it.
It was his plan to leave
town and start a new life.
No, it was my idea and you rejected it.
And having thought about
it, I am now acting on it.
Mwah!
We'll meet you at your truck.
- Come on, kids.
- Yuck.
Bags in the back, yeah?
(DOORBELL CHIMES)
MAN: Well, fuck me.
If it isn't Sean McDougall.
(DOOR BUZZES, UNLOCKS)
So, how long has it been?
15 or 16 years?
(SCOFFS)
I figured you'd slipped
into witness protection,
so many out to get you.
But here you are.
And you brought your
own chair with you, too.
I had a close encounter.
They took everything.
They took entire families.
Where you been hiding
out all this time, then?
I mean, mass abductions
ain't that unusual,
but they usually leave the
caravans and tents behind.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
So, what brings you
back into my town, then?
Looking for a loan, John.
Just some money to get back home.
Where is home, then, Sean?
I'm going to pay you back,
obviously, with interest.
- (KETTLE DINGS)
- Oh, yes, no doubt you will.
No doubt.
But, the thing is, you see,
is I haven't loaned anyone a
dollar since I was 12 years old
and got stiffed.
And I'm certainly not
going to start now.
It's just some travelling money is all.
We all need some travelling money, Sean.
But, I tell you what,
there might be a way that I
might be able to help you out.
See, I've got this full
book that needs thinning.
Plenty of walking stiffs out
there and no one to hit them.
No, I stopped shooting people, John.
More or less.
I'm not that not that guy anymore.
Yeah. Yeah, you've
moved on now, have you?
You're just a guy who walks
around with a pink flamingo.
Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
You know, a pocket full
of cash will go a long way
to helping you disappear again.
I ain't done a hit in 20 years.
It's just like riding a bike.
Only more fun.
I don't suppose that dachshund
is still alive, is it?
What dachshund?
The one you went back
for after the Seddon hit.
You did go back for it, didn't you?
Oh, yes, that dachshund.
Mitzi.
Oh, you know, I treated
it like it was a prince.
It only went belly-up a couple
of months back there now.
Died in my arms.
I was heartbroken.
Here we go, Joey Talarto.
It says here he's hiding
out in northern Thailand.
They'll never find him.
You know her?
Nah, just looks like
someone I used to know.
Yeah, rich bitch.
She crossed some Russians
over some corporate shit.
Now she's on the run.
They sent some Chechens after
her but they disappeared.
So she's still on the run, is she?
Eh.
Oh, nah, too late for this one.
They're sending a a
talisman out after her.
A talisman?
Only six in the world and
no-one knows who they are.
She'll be sliced up
finer than sushi meat.
Right. Who's next?
Oh, here we go.
35-year-old car salesman
with a gambling problem.
Easy 10K.
It's an ArmaLite.
What?
My weapon. It's an ArmaLite. AR-180.
I prefer the Colt AR-15.
That's all I could get.
Jesus Christ, your finger's missing.
Only half of it.
It's not missing technically,
it's at home in the fridge.
I was going to try sewing it
back on but it wouldn't look much,
especially trying to
do it with my left hand.
I had a cousin who tried
that with his big toe
Yeah, right, yeah.
Yeah, you can still shoot though?
I mean, that's your
trigger finger, isn't it?
Yeah, I can still shoot.
Most of the time.
Good, because this
has to be clean, right?
This man is a bad man.
What's he done?
Oh, he's
he's burned people's houses down
and he's poisoned kids' dogs,
sunk a bloke's boat,
and he owes me and a bunch of
other blokes a lot of money.
Why did he poison dogs for?
How should I know? Bloke's a sicko.
Hey!
Hey, I've got to warn you!
They're going to kill you.
- (LAUGHS)
- Nothing I don't already know, mate.
- You know how it is.
- Not the fags.
I mean, they will,
but not as fast as the
people you owe money to.
Who are you?
I'm the bloke they hired to kill you.
- Oh, shit.
- You've got to go.
You've got to get out of town.
(SCOFFS) How, mate?
I'm bust, alright?
Here.
That's all I got.
I know who you are.
I know where you're from.
You just do me one favour.
You see my wife, Evelyn, you
tell her I still love her, OK?
- Evelyn?
- You can't miss her.
She's got a sunflower frock on
and light green Angora cardigan.
It was quite chilly that day.
Um
What day?
You've got to go.
Get out of here. They'll be here soon.
Go.
Go!
JEREMIAH: No-one's following
us. I think we're clear.
Great.
Yeah, you know, maybe we
shouldn't go to Luang Prabang.
You just told me that's
where you wanted to go.
I said that to get you moving.
As if I can live in a place
with that constant humidity.
What's Luang Prabang?
It's a place we're
not going, sweetheart.
OK. Thailand.
Well, the same.
One season. Hot. I get
irritated in the heat.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I can't imagine you
ever getting irritated.
This is just getting better and better.
Paris.
That's where we should go.
It's got a temperate
climate, stylish architecture.
I can't speak French.
You can learn.
I can't live in Paris.
Everyone's unpleasant.
And I can't speak French either.
Well, Milan, then.
(SIGHS)
I can consider Fiji.
What is your ambition in life?
To spend all day wandering
around in a sarong?
Some days I might want to wear shorts.
We should have talked about this.
I did talk about it.
You should have listened.
Can you stop driving so erratically?
I'm not driving erratically.
You are winding all over the road.
It's called avoiding potholes.
Anyway, wherever we do end
up, it's going to be great.
It's a brand-new start.
Shit.
We can either run them over
or ask them nicely to move.
I think the second option has
the least chance of success.
I'll go talk to him.
You're not going to stop us leaving.
If you want to run, you go right ahead.
We won't get in the way.
That'll be his task.
You see, I've entered into
an arrangement with him.
He's going to continue to
support the good work that we do.
So any agreement that you
and I had, it's cancelled.
Start the motor.
- What did he say?
- Start reversing.
- For 12 kilometres?
- (ENGINE REVS)
What's that noise?
- (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)
- (GEARS GRIND)
- (MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(GEARS GRIND)
(ENGINE REVS, GEARS GRIND LOUDER)
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
What are you doing here?
So you're here to swim laps or is
there something I can help you with?
I'm here to help you.
But we didn't get a
chance to talk earlier.
You left in such a rush.
I wasn't in the mood for conversation.
I'm concerned that you would think
that you could leave before
you'd fulfilled your obligations.
I think you should seek your stimulation
closer to home from now on.
I don't see much travel in your future.
That is assuming you want a future.
And do you come to me pure,
ready to serve God as two entwined,
to obey the prophet
without question or doubt?
BOYS: If it is God's will.
I speak with his voice.
And do I have witnesses
devoted and true?
ALL: Yes, Father.
It is my destiny now to take a wife.
So said my vision.
Praise me for I am eternal.
(ROCKS CLATTER)
Now it has come that I am to share
my immortality with this girl,
so she be blessed with a
long life equal to my own.
I will guarantee her a
life exceeding 200 years
and that will be my
gift to her as she
Oh, please!
Sorry.
Am I interrupting
something important here?
Vicky.
I thought I was dead.
But it turned out I was
just at the bottom of a lake.
So once I crawled my way out of there
and then had the four bullets removed,
it turned out
I was as good as new.
Well, I'm very relieved to hear that.
You're not going to ask me questions
about our dear brother Arthur?
He lived longer than he was meant to.
Mmm.
He loved you.
Oh, please.
That kind of love is nothing
more than a trade for attention.
(LAUGHS) So
What's going on here, then, hey?
It's time I married.
Her?
But she's just a kid. She's barely 18.
And with my gift of immortality,
she will remain 18 for eternity.
Don't tell me you've come to actually
believe your own deluded crap!
I am immortal.
I am a prophet given
the gift of eternity.
Oh
Bless.
Mmm!
How divine!
(CONGREGATION GASPS)
(LAUGHS)
(GURGLES)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
(SOBBING)
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't you waste your time mourning him.
He was never anything more
than a self-serving fake.
Turns out
I'm the immortal one.
MAGDA: You have been gone for 427 days.
What on earth happened to you?
All that matters is that
I'm home now. Come on.
Frankie returns from the dead
and your plan is to just watch?
STELLA: We've got several other psychos
I've got to deal with right now.
I hope you don't mind
me dropping around.
Can we talk about a
business arrangement?
And what would you bring to the table?
Well, we weren't expecting
you till next week.
We're with Special Ops.
It's part of a separate inquiry.
Don't you worry.
Because, oh, how they shall pay.
