My mother's vindaloo recipe.
WOMAN: The two men who just entered are here to kill you.
Who are you?
The only person currently trying to keep you alive.
We're heading to Mystery Bay.
We actually bought a house there.
Why would you do that?
Why is everyone staring at us?
They're mostly a friendly bunch. Most of us.
JODIE: Our new arrival was just here. Is she dangerous or not?
She's frightened of something.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
(CEMENT SLOSHES)
Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh.
Come on, mate, you've been at this for an hour.
Do you gentlemen recall me querying YOUR work?
Do you recall me asking, "Why did you shoot this gentleman
"in the temple, not the heart?"
No.
'Cause that's not my area of expertise.
Listen, mate, we need to get out of here.
(SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE) Well...I mean, if I were to...
..hurry things now,
and tomorrow the foreman comes along
and he says to his people, "Oi, fellas!
"This is not up to scratch..."
(SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE)
"Tear it all up."
Imagine his surprise when this gentleman pokes his foot up.
Well, whatever quarrel your boss had with this gentleman...
..this is his last resting place.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)

A few dairy farmers off to milk their cows.

Who or what is Princess Bettina?
My goat.
You've named it already?
Iris has a name for everything. Or haven't you noticed?
It is not our goat. It is vermin left on the property by drug dealers.
We're not staying here long anyway.
Thank you, God!
We'll find somewhere else around here.
Screw you, God.
What place next, a meth lab maybe?
Come on. (GOAT BLEATS)
It IS my goat!
Iris, how can it be your goat?
We just got here.
Now it will go to a good, loving home.
Awesome. Give away the one thing that might make her happy.
She's happy! We're all happy!
Here we go! Happy! Happy! Come on.

It's gone from 15 minutes to 30.

Why is the real-estate-agent man hiding under the desk?
Mr Pike?
Francis Pike, could you please open this door?
We can see you.
This has now become a police matter.
Alright.
Come on, kids.
(CALLS OUT) Can you tell me where the police station is now?
What do you want to talk to them for?
Well, that's a matter for us.
Do you know where it is?
How did the station burn down?
20 litres of petrol and a match.

(KNOCKS) Hello?
Hello?!
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hello!
(KNOCKS)
MAN: (INSIDE) Yep! Hold up! (MICROWAVE BEEPS)
Coming!
Who are YOU?
My name is Stella Heikkenin.
My children and I just moved here.
We bought the Gurvan place.
When? Yesterday.
You bought the Gurvan place?
Yes.
What, you moved in yesterday?
Yes, but that's not what I'm here about.
I'm here to report a crime.
Who sold it to you?
It transpires that we are living over a major marijuana operation.
Francis sold it to you?
You heard what I said, didn't you?
Francis Pike sold you the Gurvan place?
I think we've thrashed that out as much as we possibly can.
Well, marijuana is not a big issue here.
I... I think you're missing my point. And your pants, for that matter.
(CLEARS THROAT)
My children and I are living directly above a commercially sized crop.
Now we have to move out and find new accommodation,
but the real-estate agent...
Francis Pike.
I... I know his name.
..is hiding.
(MICROWAVE BEEPS)
Right, well...
Uh...
Can you give me a minute? The rest of my uniform's still drying.
Maybe go get a coffee.
OK. Well, where?
I don't drink it.
OK. Thanks.
We'll...
..see you later.
DRIVER: Come on, rockstars! Let's go!
The prophet will pick you all up tonight.
I will deal with this customer first.
How much is the bread?
And the potatoes?
And the carrots and the beans?
Do you have a card for every question?
(HORSE WHINNIES SOFTLY)
What's your favourite colour?
Go to the school
or the government will cause us problems again.
It's only for three weeks.
The bread then.
Some carrots, potatoes,
and some beans.
Pay and be gone.
You...
..talk to no-one.
Caleb, you see no-one talks to her.
Of course.

OK.
(STEAM HISSES) Hop in, I'll drive you back.
You're on fire.
No, it's just water vapour.
Jump in.
Did you find out why Francis Pike was hiding under his desk?
He might be going to a conference.
Under his desk?
He was probably on his way.
Um...
Uh...
Alright.
Buckle up.
Well, are you...are you taking notes or getting prints or anything?
Mm-hm, yes.
Well...
Uh... Yep.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Right. I can confirm this is definitely a crime scene.
You think?
Most likely.
And what will the police do about it?
Full report.
The works.
And... Oh!
Actually...
Police tape.
Um..... Hold that. Right.
And, uh...
..you hold the end there.
I'll just unspool that. Ow.
Sorry.
Watch your fingers.
Oh, have you got scissors?
It's OK. I'll...
I'll just unroll the lot.
Ow.
Oh, jeez, there's a lot more over here.
Oh, wow.
WOMAN: Hello?! Anyone home?
Yoo-hoo?!
Oh!
Hello, kids.
Where's Mummy?
Does your dog have rabies?! Oh, no.
Not so much these days.
(GOAT BLEATS)
Hi! Hi.
I'm your new neighbour!
Frankie McCleish.
I live over the hill and a bit along.
I saw you'd moved in,
so, I thought I'd pop by and say...
..welcome.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I see the police have beat me to it.
Yes, we bought the place
only to discover a drug operation underneath the house.
Really? Mm.
Bless.
Never would have thought in THIS little town.
Oh, don't mind him. That's Arthur.
He's a bit shy.
Got you working there, Jason?
Mm-hm.
You couldn't be in better hands.
I brought you a welcome casserole.
Oh, thank you! That is much appreciated.
As long as it's not roadkill.
Oh, um...not that we... We just don't eat native animals.
My son here, he's a, um... a vegetarian.
Your son?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm gonna rustle you up something else instead...
Oh... ..from the supermarket.
Tell me, do you know anything about the trucks
roaring through here last night?
Oh, I have been complaining about that for years.
You are the central point of axis for five different properties.
All your neighbours have a legal right of way through your place
because you're at the start of the five-ways.
Francis Pike sold it to them.
I heard.
(CHUCKLES)
Might be good to have some new blood in town
and a couple of wee kiddies to join our little community.
Oh, he really should have told you.
Bless.
Tell you what -
I'm gonna make you one of my CWA apple turnovers.
No roadkill in that.
(BOTH LAUGH)
That's if your son has no objection to boiling apples.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Bless.
(LAUGHS)
Thank you!
What a lovely woman.
Mm.
So, uh...
..Constable, what happens now?
Oh, the investigation's underway.
Meantime, I'll send someone by to fix your floor.
I know a very good guy.
Well, we can't stay here tonight.
I'll...
I'll get the floor sorted!
(CALLS OUT) No, we... We can't stay here tonight!
Copy that!
(MUFFLER RUMBLES)
Always tell it's you by that muffler, Frankie.
Bless!
Brought you an apple tart.
Oh, yeah. Why would you do that?
Oh!
Apologies for being a good neighbour.
Aren't we Mr Grumpy this morning?
(GROANS)
I hear...
..we've a new resident.
Have we, indeed.
Surely Francis told you he'd sold the old Gurvan place.
I'm sure he will presently.
Oh.
So, he acted alone. (SIGHS)
Again.
After last time... Leave him be.
He just wants to be busy and useful, give himself a purpose.
No issues there.
Just last time he did that,
it caused quite a kerfuffle
and a lot of heartbreak.
It was a while back. These are different times.
They certainly are.
Who knows?
Might be exciting to have a few new faces in town.
After all these years.
Tell us if Francis turns up.
Enjoy the tart.
Leave him alone, Frankie.
You want me to do something, sister?
Not right now.
Maybe later, sweetie.
(ENGINE SHUTS)
(GOAT BLEATS)
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
Hello. Can I help you there?
No, I'm good. Thanks.
Well, perhaps what I should have said is,
"What do you think you're doing here again?"
Right. You're the 'very good guy' he knows.
None of that wood even matches.
All I could get my hands on in a hurry.
Well, the floor will look like a deranged patchwork quilt.
Yeah, it won't look too special. Have you got carpet?
I don't care. We won't be staying here for long.
And who is paying for this? Not me.
Fair enough.
Wait. I need it done.
But Francis must pay for this.
It's called legal responsibility.
Good luck with that.
We haven't even negotiated a fee.
$45 an hour.
$30.
(SNIFFS)
You know, this is not how I like to do business.
I like things to be straight and clear and above board
and costed at the outset.
Strange choice of town to live in then.
(DOOR OPENS)
Graham?
Francis?
I was wondering when you'd show.
Did they come looking for me?
Well, Frankie's been around. People are talking.
A woman rang me out of the blue on the old number.
Wanted a house for them.
The old number?
That hasn't rung for 11 years. How is that even possible?
I'm telling you it rang, Graham.
Who was this woman? I don't know.
But she knew you.
She wanted me to sell a house to a family, not rent it.
She give a name? No.
Can't be the woman I know. She moved on years ago.
Oh, you...you should have referred it to me.
You know what can happen in this place.
Yeah, well, I am my own man, Graham.
I used to take enormous pride in my work.
Ohh... Ah, ah, concreting,
building,
cleaning windows, disposing of bodies.
You name the job, I always committed 100%.
But still, still all the trouble you caused last time
not discussing it with anyone.
Two deaths.
You should have heard me on the phone.
I was confident.
I sounded like a real real-estate agent.
And I crunched that deal.
That's industry speak.
You crunch it.
Or you close it.
You... You need to lie low, Francis, for a while.
Just let me...
Just let me smooth this out.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I was made the real-estate agent,
and I was just doing my job.
Could you make, like... a wombat shape in the middle?
You ever play snake hopscotch?
No? How long will this take?
Tomorrow.
Kids, we're going to find alternative accommodation
until Mr...
..uh...finishes the floors.
Where are you gonna stay?
I saw a motel on the... on the way here.
We can go there.
Could you possibly drive us?
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
Are you sure the children are OK? Ah, they'll be right.
Bit of pain never hurt anyone.
This is the first...instalment.
I need to finesse my banking arrangements
before I can pay all of it.

GRAHAM: Jeremiah, is that your ute I hear?
It is, Graham. How're you going?
Oh, I'm an ornament to the game.
(CHUCKLES)
Is that you, young Jodie?
No, it isn't. I brought a lady and her two kids.
They bought the old Gurvan place.
What, has Francis... Yes, Francis Pike did sell it to me.
Did he just? Mm.
WOMAN: All booked out! No rooms!
Bong Cha, these folks need a room just for a night or so.
All booked out. No rooms.
Next motel 30 kilometres that way.
I bet you can find them one room.
They'll pay you, subject to her finessing her banking arrangements.
I'm Iris.
You've gotta get these people off my hands.
Hello, Iris. I'm Graham.
And your mum is...
Stella Heikk...inen.
Heavy on the syllables. (CHUCKLES)
It's a motel. It's your whole business model.
How much money will she pay? How old are you, Iris?
42. You can charge what you want...
Oh, that's a lovely age.
I think that he's heard enough.
Check-in 4:00PM. The room isn't ready.
Haven't you got something sooner?
We are still cleaning. (SIGHS)
OK, guys, we'll go check out the car.
We're going to need it to get out of here.
Can we go help Jeremiah instead?
I am really 10, last month.
You had me fooled.
(GIGGLES) (CHUCKLES)
Right, well, you... you will bring them back?
Right, I'll take that as a yes.
Here.

Never mind your car. Pull!
Pull what? I'm here about my car.
The lever. Pull it.
Oh!

That's impressive.

It's my gift.

Well, can you visualise my car?

See, in my mind then,
the clay duck becomes an alien with multiple, suckered arms,
plummeting towards Earth from the planet Zuton.
I knew if I didn't hit it,
if it got through,
life on earth as we know it would be extinguished.
The blood of billions of people would choke the seas
and cause a stench you could never get rid of.
And that's your calm place? (COCKS RIFLE)
Yeah.
Is my car drivable?
I'm waiting for parts from Korea.
It's German.
Yeah, well, that's what they tell you, isn't it?
Truth is those parts come
from places you don't want to think about.
I've got inside knowledge.
Tomorrow I expect my car repaired or returned.
Worth a try.
MAN: (IN STORE) You two are both complaining.
I can never please you both.
No, no, no, no, no. Closed again.
(KNOCKS)
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, OK.
We're closed, OK?
No, you're not. I can see people eating.
My children and I need food. You are a restaurant, are you not?
Maybe. Good.
May I see your menu?
We don't have one.
Fine, I'll have whatever Thai dishes you recommend.
Mm-hm, yes, ma'am.
(LOCK CLICKS)
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I can't eat this shit.
It's fuel. You haven't eaten all day.
It's diesel.
We have fresh food from the store. Why didn't you bring that?
OK, can you go get Iris? She needs to eat.
She doesn't eat Thai food.
Since when? Since birth.
You try and eat this. Here, eat it.
Mmm.
Mm.
Please, tell me what we're doing here.
We're trying out a different life.
OK, we tried it,
and it's a total disaster, so, let's go home.
What are we doing? Pretending to be someone else?
Eating a turd in a crappy motel room? Tell me.
I told you I needed some quiet time, just away from Melbourne.
Tell me the truth! I've told you.
You never, ever discuss anything with us.
And you don't think I might be doing that for your benefit?
No.
When Dad died, what did you do?
You made me see a therapist for grief counselling,
and you didn't even bother to show up to any of the sessions.
Because I thought it was important that you had somebody to talk to,
somebody on your side to take care of you.
They're called mothers!
You know what we spoke about, your therapist and me?
How hopeless you are
and how you always keep secrets
and how you never, ever talk anything through.
(DOOR THUDS)
Janine would never say anything negative about me!
Ugh! (GRUNTS)
Where's she from?
She's from a big palace named Jen of Grassy Fields Estates.
Oh, and that's different to... (FADES)
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(STATIC HISSES)
God!
They argued about the food being shit and then she left.
I don't know, I can't hear much.
With all this you're telling me
you can't hear what is said in a room three doors down?
OK, well, no-one's ever stayed there before.
You never bugged it.
Where's she going?
How would I know?
By looking at the cameras!
(SIGHS)
What? Nothing.
I dressed for YOU. Mm.
Are we going to the pub later?
Yeah, maybe.
Ah, that'd be right.
Keep me in suspense.
Where is the old bastard?
In the kitchen.
I heard a crash.
You said you couldn't have a drink on your new medication.
Well, what do you know?
A good deal more than you.
Well, is this new medication gonna grow me back a new leg?
Yep.
Can't a man enjoy his last fragments of life?
Oh, when did you ever enjoy it before?
Plenty of times.
Except that...
..hard times came a-knockin' early.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Well, are you gonna help me up or what?
Eventually, I s'pose.
Hang on, Dad. Come on.
Come on. (GROANS)
Up we get.
You got it? Yeah.
You're alright.
This... This new tart.
What's she like?
A bit stuck up.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, but good-looking stuck up or just stuck up?
She's got two legs and two kids, so, not your type, eh.
You know what it's for.
Use that
to take these.
How many am I supposed to take?
No idea.
Well, they don't do much anyway.
I'll take 'em later.

WOMAN: I said only in absolute emergencies,
or can't you find the toothpaste?
(ON PHONE) Can I tell you how I feel at present?
(ON PHONE) I fear you are about to.
I feel like the night I stayed at Bob Dylan's in New York.
Bob Dylan?
He had this weird place in Soho
where you can only get in by crawling through this tiny hatch door.
So, he's standing there and he tells me to "Head on up."
Bob Zimmerman Dylan?
So, I go through his hatch door
and I end up in his apartment with no windows,
and his wife says
they only have one bathroom and not to flush late at night.
I'm taking it this was a dream.
No. It was a recurring nightmare.
You know, that is how I feel being in this place.
Except it turns out that it isn't a dream,
there's no Bob fuckin' Dylan
and no usable toilet.
Where are you calling from right now?
I am on a rock overlooking some other rocks in the middle of more rocks.
Well, that should be OK.
Do you have any idea what you have put us in?
No, I've never been there
nor do I care much at the moment.
Well, before you sent me and my children into this hell,
you should have checked it out!
I am just trying to keep you safe.
I am living on top of a floorless drug empire.
The town is full of psychopaths.
There's no shop worth their name.
And they serve Yam Dum Book Foo
that could kill a horse!
You are in the safest place at the moment, believe me.
You are not hearing me.
I have sent you a photo.
I am not interested in your photographs...
(PHONE CHIMES)

Oh, my God.
Please, tell me that is not Kumar.
Yes, I can identify him as Kumar Argawal,
an IT person from ProsperAus Finances.
Cause of death.
DOCTOR: He was tortured, I'd say over several hours.
He was electrocuted.
There are burn marks and he had his testicles cut off.
I know who did this.
Yes, your lover, Johann Mueller,
also known as Jakob Yahontov
and Joseff Kuznetsov.
Sadly, he is only a bit player.
I am after the person he is working for.
They would not have done this to Kumar
if they didn't think he knew something and passed it on to you.
Please, what is happening?
A war zone is happening.
If you want to stay alive, learn to adapt
and help me.

Today I found out that he is dead.
The day we left two men tried to kill me in a delicatessen.
I ran home and found Gina murdered in our garden.
Gina's dead?
So, we are in hiding.
We have to pretend to be other people.
We have to create a whole fiction for ourselves.
And we have to stay in hiding until this nightmare ends.
And if we don't, they, whoever...

..will find us and kill us.
That...
That is what is happening.

and you raised wild goats until the wicked witch killed them.
We lived a simple life.
(CAR HORN BEEPS)
CONNOR: Graham says you need a lift, yeah?
In the absence of my car, yes.
Yeah, it's tough 'round here without a car.
You might want to jump in the tray.
I've got some stuff down here. It's a bit stinky.
Goodbye, Grandpa!
Goodbye, Granddaughter!
Darling, darling, that man is not your relative.
You make up your stories, I'll make up mine.
(THWACKS HAMMER)
Princess Bettina's been taken!
To a wonderful castle surrounded by people who love and care for animals.
How do YOU know that? I just do.
I'm just collecting the last of the police tape now.
I'm a bit short of it.
Mum gave the goat away.
Yeah?
How are you gonna keep the grass down?
Yeah, how?
Um...
Otis can mow it.
OTIS: Really?
These criminals...
..will they be back, do you think?
Oh...
..probably not.
No, all illicit material is...
..confiscated.
You've taken it? Yes.
OK. Apparently.
And the floor is completely safe to walk on?
Yeah, should hold.
I'd stay clear of heavy foods.
Well, after eating the local Thai,
I don't think that'll be a problem here.
Oh, you didn't buy their Thai food, did you?
Bold move.
Cow pats with rice noodles.
Try their Middle Eastern food. You can usually survive that.
Hey, um...
..if you're worried, I can come back and camp here again.
On your veranda.
No.
No, definitely not.
No, thank you.
No.
Is that what you were doing here that first night?
Mum, come and see what Jeremiah's done!
Come on, quick! Alright!
(CHUCKLES)
Come on. (GIGGLES)
(LAUGHS)
Look - he made me a hopscotch snake with a wombat in the middle.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
Come join me!
Come on. (GIGGLES)
(MOODY MUSIC PLAYS)
(GASPS)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Oh, shit.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
Is that our car with our goat on it?
Please don't say anything to Iris.
OK.
How good is this?!
Hm! It's magical!
Alright, who's brave enough...
..to put their feet in?
No. Come on.
It's too cold. No way. Oh, come on, you wusses!
Whoa!
(LAUGHS)
Coming your way! Oh, no!
(SQUEALS) Stop! (LAUGHS)
What is that?
It's Francis the real-estate agent.
What?
You stay there.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
When can I get my family out of here?
We are not suited to this place, believe me.
Until I get to the bottom of this, no-one is safe.
It's a bit of a mystery.
You're right to be concerned.
These things need to be investigated.
I'm here on behalf of the Department of Finance.
No, there's people that you... well, you can't trust.
Same as everywhere, I suppose.
No, it's not the same as anywhere here.
What the fuck?
WOMAN: No! (SCREAMS)
No. No, no, no, no. No! Hey!
