Willow?
You saw her face, right?
She looked completely freaked out.
Was it kind of scared,
kind of trapped?
We've built a community here
that warrants fierce protection.
We have built a family
that is both strong and fragile.
Eugh!
Chubba?
Loch?
Loch!
Eugh!
Jesus Chubba!
Duncan's been arrested.
Yeah, I know, mate.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Sydney.
In Duncan's car?
He just got busted
with five pounds of Ice.
I don't think he's gonna be using it.
But what am I supposed to do?
What do you mean?
You didn't do anything.
No, I mean if Dunc's in jail
and you're pissing off,
what the fuck am I supposed to do?
You guys are my friends!
I don't
I don't have any other friends.
For fuck's sake, Chubb!
Look, mate,
a little bit of tough love for you.
You are a lovely bloke
but you are a bit wet.
Just do your own thing.
What does that mean?
I dunno.
Just get into yoga
or take some mushrooms
or fuckin' learn the ukulele.
Just
Alright,
OK. OK, Chubba, you'll be OK.
You left your
No! Jesus! Ow!
What the fuck, Chubba?
Please don't call me Chubba.
Sorry. Fine.
What's with the
You can call me Father.
I don't wanna call you Father.
Well, tough tits.
What's with the handcuffs?
Well, we both know
how angry you can get.
Why are they fluffy?
It makes them more friendly.
Why are they fluffy?
It makes them more friendly.
How are you feeling? Any better?
Yeah.
I healed you. With Reiki.
With Reiki and
IV antibiotics.
One of our sisters was a nurse.
Right. Thanks.
Hey, Chubb
Don't call me that!
Mate, I really,
really need my phone.
I have to call my brother.
Can't let you do that.
You don't understand.
My daughter is
Can't let you communicate
with people outside of this room.
What? Why? Why not?
Because you know about me.
So?
Well, they believe that
I grew up in the slums of Mumbai.
You fuckin' idiot, Chubba.
Don't call me that!
The slums of Mumbai?
Mate, you grew up
in the cafes of Bellevue Hill.
Yeah, I know where I grew up.
Your dad was a hedge fund manager.
Shut up, you shit face!
Are you fuckin' kidding me?
You are not allowed to talk to me
like that anymore.
I am a leader and I have respect.
I am a leader and I have respect.
And it is very impressive, mate.
Honestly, I didn't think you had it
in you to grow such a stupid beard.
You're just a bully.
You're the one who's
got me handcuffed to a couch!
It's a divan!
Why are you here then, mmm?
Why am I here?
Mate, if I knew the answer to that,
I'd start my own pervy sex cult.
It is not a pervy sex cult.
It looks pretty pervy.
Big fanny blanket there.
It's a lily.
Sexy non-binary
dancing happy pants twins.
What do you want from me?
I don't want anything from you.
I'm here helping a friend.
Ooh, well, there's a first time
for everything then,
isn't there, DJ Lock?
Meg needs to talk to Linda,
that's all.
And I need my fucking phone
so I can call my fucking brother!
Fine.
Fuck!
Let's see what this Meg
has to say then, eh?
Hey, Father?
What?
If you so much as touch her,
I will burn your fucking theme park
to the ground.
I'm sorry.
You were a surprise.
I should have WhatsApp-d you, eh?
My mistake.
I thought that
we could go for a walk.
You're not going to take me back
to Guru Hairy McStarey, are ya?
Hello?
Anybody?
Hello? Hello?
Hippies?
Eugh!
Eugh!
Fuck!
You sound like a crow.
Who's that?
That's what crows say.
Hey, Barley! Hi, little mate.
How are you going?
Hey, Barley?
I accidentally got locked in again.
You have to do contemplation.
Definitely.
And I have contemplated heaps
but I have to get out now
'cause I have to find my phone.
My um
My little girl is flying on
a big plane to see me
and I need to make sure
someone's there to meet her.
Wanna use my phone?
You have a phone?
It's secret.
Well, I am fantastic with secrets.
Barley?
What's those?
Oh, those? They're handcuffs.
Why are they fluffy?
They're more friendly.
Here you go.
That's your phone?
Yep. I use it for games.
Right.
Hello? God?
Yeah, it's Lucky. This isn't funny.
No, silly.
What!
This is amazing!
You are amazing.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Hill. I need a hill.
Hey, Barley, you know how
you know how to sneak out?
Can you show me? I won't get you
in trouble, I promise.
Please, please?
Fuck!
Barley's my um
He's my half brother, eh?
Barley's my um
He's my half brother, eh?
Yep.
How old is he?
Six.
He's six.
How long have you been here for?
6.5 years.
So, we both came
here pregnant then.
Nothing.
Sorry.
What are you sorry for?
How's your dad?
He He's good.
And Matty?
He's 23, right?
How's he? Is he still living
at home in Karingunna?
Sister.
Nice shades, bro.
Come with me, please.
No. Fuck off.
Sister?
Please tell your daughter
to come with me.
Whatever.
Come on, fuzz face. Let's ride.
I don't know what
your relationship is with Lock
but you mustn't let him
poison your soul.
He's a cynic.
He'll never be happy
and he believes in nothing.
I'd rather believe in nothing than
whatever shit you're feeding Linda.
I'm feeding her oxygen.
I'm feeding her love.
I'm feeding her oxygen.
I'm feeding her love.
Eugh.
I'm feeding her hope.
You're touching my leg.
Come, please.
You could stay with us
if you like, Meg.
Be with your mother.
'Cause all you have to do
to achieve real peace is
What the actual fuck?
Where is he?
How would I know? You don't
Where is he?
I don't know. Hey, get off!
What are you doing?
Face the hand.
What?
Face the hand!
Don't! Get off!
Just face the hand!
Eugh!
Eugh! Ow!
Sorry, sorry.
Another flaming penis
Sorry. Sorry.
It's alright, it's alright.
It's OK.
It was just a bit scary.
Oh, I bet.
Hey, thank you.
Don't tell anyone that I've gone, OK?
Don't tell anyone about my potato.
Deal-eo.
See you.
Hello? Hello?
Sweet vag.
So creepy.
Six-nine-six-nine.
Oh, Chubba,
that genuinely makes me sad.
Three. Butt for ens
Butt for ensuite
Three four one one eight.
Butt for ensuite because
Fuck! Come on, Lucky!
You've known this number
for 20 fucking years.
Butt Fuck!
Fuck.
Eugh!
Eugh!
Oh, shit.
Lucky?
Oh, shit!
Chubba?
If you call me Chubba one more time
I swear I'll
Sorry. Sorry.
It's just a habit.
Oh fuck, my head.
Is that a sabre? It's a samurai
sword, shit for brains.
Oh, right.
What? Why shouldn't I have
a samurai sword, Lucky?
A samurai sword's
not ironic enough for you?
I bet you wouldn't say
that to an actual samurai.
I probably wouldn't say that
to an actual samurai
if I stumbled upon
an actual samurai.
You're not funny.
I'm fucking semi-conscious
is what I am.
What is that?
No, I just
I just found this lying around.
Who did you call? Who did you call!
I didn't call anyone.
Just tried to text
my fuckin' brother.
Oh, this is so pathetic.
Oh, boo-hoo. I'm so self-sabotaging.
Let's all have a big man sad.
You have the nerve to judge me.
I'm not judging.
I was never judging you, mate.
It's just teasing.
Teasing is what men do to each other
to share their self-loathing
round a bit.
Chubb, it's an act of generosity.
Chubb, it's an act of generosity.
Don't call me Chubb!
Eugh!
Fuckin' hell, Chubba!
I'll kill you!
Eugh!
Hi.
Hi!
Your head's bleeding.
My head's bleeding!
Oh shut up, Captain Handsy.
What the fuck?
What's with the sex swing?
It's just a swing.
Screw you.
I sit on it when I'm playing FIFA.
I had sex on it once. So what?
I don't know.
I think once is enough.
- I think that makes it a sex swing.
- It's not a sex swing!
So, is that what
this scam's all about,
just a sad high school nerd
trying to get laid?
Just a sad high school nerd
trying to get laid?
I'm allowed to get laid.
We're all adults.
Really? It's just adults?
Of course just adults,
you sicko.
I don't know.
Just going off precedent.
Where there's gods,
there's grubs.
So, what else?
What else what?
Well, sex, tick.
Tax avoidance, obvs.
What's the side hustle?
There's always a side hustle.
The people who join us
choose to give up everything.
Some of them were very rich which
is usually why they were very sad.
So, you lie about being a guru
and then you convince them to
give up all their worldly belongings,
their shoes and their tech
and their alcohol,
and then you take their money
and spend it on
shoes and tech and alcohol?
No, I invest it. In hedge funds.
And I spend the dividends on
You're such a fuckin' hypocrite!
So what?
I am made happy by shoes
and swords and cocktails
and VR hentai.
And swords and cocktails
and VR hentai.
And they are made happy by
the absence of shoes,
by the absence of all of that.
But they're trapped.
They were already trapped.
It's a binary, brother,
you're either on that side
of the fence or this side.
Except for the Father.
You get to have a shoe in both camps.
Yeah, well, it's my bloody camp!
See?
Did you know about this?
Well?
It's nice.
Nice?
Fucking hell. Nice?
You could
You understand that
you don't have to stay here, Linda.
You understand that
you don't have to stay here, Linda.
Mum?
You, you
Lucky, can you say something, please?
Linda, if you wanna leave we can
We can leave.
We can leave right now.
We'll get Barley
and we'll just go. Hey?
He's a fucking fraud.
Don't you see?
You live like a nun
and he's got a fucking sex swing.
It's just a swing.
I don't know
what you want from me!
I'm not your mum, Meg.
I couldn't be your mum.
I wanted to but
I don't need anything from you. OK?
I don't want anything.
You don't understand.
I just I just want you to be OK.
I don't want you here.
Why? Why would you want to be
near me? I tried to hurt you!
Why? Why would you want to be
near me? I tried to hurt you!
Why? Why did you come here?
Why are you here?
You know,
I follow you on Instagram?
Really?
I've never seen you post.
I don't post. I'm not a millennial.
I've never seen you post.
I don't post. I'm not a millennial.
So, why do you have Instagram?
You know,
cats falling off shit mostly.
But what I really love
is I love seeing photos
of you and Avery.
And you're at posh dinners
and drinking champagne,
raising money for the fuckin'
Sydney Interpretive Dance Collective
or some shit.
And you post photos
of some on your phone.
Same phone you couldn't pick up
for four fuckin' years to call me,
while I'm off at school
in bum-fuck nowhere,
three hours a day on a boiling hot
bus, trying to get homework done,
trying to concentrate.
You know, trying not
to worry about Dad.
And here you are with your shiny
teeth and your shiny girlfriend.
And here you are with your shiny
teeth and your shiny girlfriend.
It makes me wonder
if back then when I met you
and you made me believe that you
gave a shit about me, if I was just,
I don't know, just like
this stupid little girl
and I made it all up in my head.
And the whole thing
That whole thing was just,
you know just nothing.
So many times I wanted to
No, but then I find
Mum's letters, right?
And Dad's freaking out.
And I'm fucking pregnant
to that big, gorgeous idiot
and I don't know
what the fuck to do.
But of course, you know,
I don't want to get rid of the baby
'cause Mum got rid of me
and I know what that feels like.
That feels like
That feels like shit.
Your whole life.
Your whole fucking life.
And I know that
that doesn't make sense
And I know that
that doesn't make sense
'cause when I get rid of
mine it's not gonna
it's not gonna know, you know?
But nothing does.
So I come, I come to find you
'cause I need someone.
Lucky, I needed one
fucking person to help me,
to take care of me for once.
And I knew it wasn't gonna be Linda.
I came to find you.
Lucky, get down!
Fuck!
Find them.
They're probably heading for
the river or the Gungardie road.
Go, go, go, go! Hurry up!
OK.
OK what?
Billie lands in 22 hours.
It doesn't matter, it's too late
No, it's not. No, it's not.
We just need to find a way
back in the commune.
Back in? Why?
Jobs.
How did you get out?
Eugh!
Here.
OK.
Yep.
Whoa!
Go, go, go.
Wait.
It's in the jar.
Shit. Which jar?
In the
There's four jars!
The middle one. The tall one.
The tall one.
Quick as you like, mate.
Quick, quick, quick.
Is this yours?
Yep. Yep. Yep.
OK.
Come on.
Bacopa!
Hi, Sage.
Your real name's Tammy, right?
Geert said you might be hungry.
If you want to come, you have
to come now. Grab your stuff.
No stuff.
Keep searching, we must
find them. The Father is furious.
Shh.
Maybe you should
sit in the Discomfort Tent.
Oh for fuck's sake.
Chrysanthe come in.
Yes, Sage?
The children said that
they saw the man and the girl
down by the bottom gate.
Come on.
Just go. Go, go, go.
I need this.
Are you going?
Bye, Barley.
When you're a bit bigger,
I'm gonna come back
and I'm gonna take you
on a huge adventure.
OK?
Would you say hello
to your dad for me?
And Matty?
Yeah. Yeah.
They'll
They'll be really glad
to know you're OK.
Bye, Linda.
Oh, look! A sex swing.
Now what?
Find car keys.
Car keys. I saw car keys.
Find car keys.
Car keys. I saw car keys.
Cable. Got a cable.
I've got car keys!
Lucky! Fuck's sake. Come on!
This is my
Oh, good, he's got shoes.
He's got so many bloody shoes!
Mine's that one.
Let's go.

Oh, you are very sexy.
Meg, what are you doing?
I'm coming.
Get in the car! Come on!
Shut the fuck up!
Meg!
Can you get in the fucking car?
Lucky, drive.
I don't know why the
Open the fucking door!
No, no, no!
What was under the tarp?
What was under the tarp?
Go get 'em!
Weed!
Always a side hustle.
Christ, I almost feel sorry for him.
No, fuck him! He's a liar.
Anyway, it's mostly vodka,
