(dramatic music) (birds chirping)

- Tai San?

- What?

- Can anyone learn to meditate?

- Surely this isn't your scene.

- Correction, it wasn't.

Then I met you.

- You used to think I was a space cadet.

- Then I got to know you better.

- Tuned into my essence.

- Right!

- Picked up the vibes.

- [Lex] That, too!

- Found a soul connection.

(dog barks)

(romantic music)

(barking echoes)

- Where's Dal?

You have got a lot of explaining to do.

- Look, I don't know about all that soul business.

But I do know you've got (mumbles).

- I have?

- And I was wondering if you could be like my

spiritual teacher?

- If I wasn't so enlightened, I'd be flattered.

- That's cool the way you handled life and...

- And?

- Stuff?

- Like rituals and chanting and...

- Getting it on.

- There's a surprise.

- So I thought maybe we could carry on doin' it.

You know, when I teach a pupil go to bases.

- Sure.

There's just one problem.

- What?

- There's a strict rule.

- Anything you say.

- Spiritual teachers never get it on with their pupils.

- Never?

- Ever.

(dramatic music)

- Are you hungry, sweeting?

(baby coos) You are.

'Course you are.

That's my baby.

That's my little girl.

(bird coos)

(tribal music)

- That's called making an entrance!

- Never been the shy, retiring type.

- (chuckles) Heading somewhere?

- Looking for you.

- Who are you?

- A traveler, a friend.

- You knew we were here?

- I thought you were.

Same thing.

- Sort of like a sixth sense.

- Yeah, we've all got it, even you.

- If it doesn't involve a screwdriver,

I wouldn't count on it.

- There are lots of skills you don't make enough use of.

Like coordination.

(mysterious music) (rooster crows)

- Wow!

Looks like we've got ourselves an entertainer!

- How'd you find us, really?

- Smell of breakfast.

(group laughs)

Now, how about three?

(group laughs)

- Look what the wind's blown in.

- I don't for a minute imagine you're thrilled to see me.

(dog whines)

- You said it.

Where's Dal?

- I'm sorry.

- He didn't come with you?

- There's only me.

(dog whines) - You've got a nerve.

(loud clattering) (groans)

- Well, what do you want?

- I've brought you a coffee.

Two sugars, isn't it?

- Thanks.

- Jack?

- Yeah?

- Can I borrow your Gameboy?

- Yeah, I suppose.

Well, I don't know where it is.

- Here it is.

- Oh, okay.

- Thanks.

(soft splash)

- Hell!

- Didn't think we'd be seeing you here again.

- I expect you didn't much want to either.

- You said it.

Where's Dal if he isn't with you?

- He's hanging out with a bunch of Nomads we met.

- [Amber] Nomads?

- He's in his element, sleeping out under the stars.

- We were worried about you.

- Speak for yourself, Cloe.

I'm furious with her.

- I deserve it.

- Greasing won't help!

- Waltzing off, dumping your child on us

and then crawling back in here when you've run out of food!

- But there was lots to eat!

(baby coos)

I wanted to come home.

This is where I belong. - Pity you didn't think

of that before you did a bunk.

- Why don't we let her explain?

- Who asked you?

- I live here, too!

- Patsy's right.

It's only fair to hear her side of the story, too.

- And you're always telling us to be fair, Amber.

- Alright.

Some of us are interested to know

why you've come back, Trudy.

- I've been running away for ages.

From Zoot,

Bray,

you guys.

Even my own baby.

I don't wanna run anymore.

- Until your next little crisis?

(dramatic music) - Go on.

- It's time I grew up.

Faced responsibilities.

- High time.

- And I've come to say I'm sorry for everything.

And I'm gonna make it up to you all.

- We've heard it all before.

- It's different this time, truly!

I want to stay!

(dramatic music) (baby coos)

And I want my baby back.

- But for how long?

- Until she fancies chucking her at Salene again.

- Even you've been a better mother to the kid

than she has!

- Thanks for the compliment.

I think.

- You have to admit.

You don't exactly have a great track record.

- You mean

you won't give her back to me?

(dramatic music)

(baby coos)

(soft sobbing)

(water gurgles loudly)

- Trick is to get your hands at waist level,

throw the balls to your eye line.

- You make it look like a dawdle.

- I'll have you all experts in no time.

Catch!

- You're definitely brightening our day, Sasha!

- It was fate that we met.

- It's your feet, more like.

Just like you, I'm always moving on.

- We enjoy it that way.

- Sharing what we've got

with anyone who has a friendly face.

- Well, if you like the look of mine, I can contribute, too.

- Anything gratefully received.

- No supplies, but I do sketches, acrobatics, juggling.

- Essential survival skills?

- To survive the boredom, they are.

- Sasha, you're very welcome.

- It'll only be for a few days.

- A few days it is, then,

while we head to the tribal gathering.

- [Sasha] News to me.

What's it all about?

- It's where all the tribes and their leaders meet up.

- Chance to get together, talk and have fun!

- In that case, I'm your man!

- We noticed.

- And you're the new boy in town.

- How'd you know?

Don't tell me, sixth sense?

(dramatic music) (wind howls)

- Welcome home, Trudy.

You're back with your family now.

- You treat her with more respect than she's treated us.

- Yeah.

I don't like getting walked over.

I say she's out.

(dog whines)

- I ran away from home once and they still had me back.

- That was your mom and dad, Cloe.

This is different.

- Why, if we're family, too?

- It just is.

- We still need to know we can trust each other.

- She can be trusted to open a tin of beans.

- She's in the room and she does have feelings.

- Can we stop this negativity?

- It's called honesty, Tai-San.

- Yeah, and it's getting us nowhere.

We need to tune into Trudy

at a level where we're all one.

- What planet is she on?

- Understand she's been in a long and painful journey.

Now, she's found her inner truth.

- What's one of those?

- It means she's discovered what really matters to her.

- Like friends!

(baby coos) - Yes, Ryan.

Like friends.

- And Dal is following his own inner truth.

We should celebrate!

- How you manage to turn everything on its head,

I have no idea.

- It's a sacred art.

- Alright.

But if you so much as breathe at the wrong time...

- A celebration, then?

- Can we hold hands?

I like it when we hold hands.

(dramatic music)

- You don't need all that stuff.

- I thought I heard someone talking.

Must be my imagination.

- I mean it, Zan.

You're a knockout already.

- What do you want, Lex?

- Does there have to be a reason?

- When it's you, there does.

- Hands up, I confess.

Guilty of minor neglect.

- Major avoidance, more like.

- Only 'cause I was embarrassed.

- Now, you're really pushing your luck.

(chuckles) You don't know the meaning of the word.

- Honest, Zan.

It's about the Ebony business.

- Oh, her.

- She set me up!

- You mean you fell for her tawdry charms.

- I knew however I explained it to you,

I'd wind up looking bad.

- True.

- So I thought the best thing to do would be keep clear.

That's when I realized how much I care about you.

- Sounds like a line from a corny movie.

I don't buy it.

- What do I have to say to convince you?

- It's what you do that counts.

- Alright.

(dramatic music)

One more thing before you do that.

- What?

- Anybody ever told you you got great legs?

(relaxing music)

- Cleaning rotor?

Aren't you gonna be everyone's favorite person?

- We can't all be hunter-gatherers.

Someone's gotta stay home and Hoover.

- You don't strike me as the type.

- Got it in one!

- And you expect me to wear a loin cloth and carry a club?

- Like all the best hunters.

What about ex-boyfriends?

What do they do when their girl

suddenly reappears on the scene?

- Keep your distance.

Be polite, but wary.

- They don't start thinking they might give it another go?

- No way.

- Life moves on so quickly since it happened.

- I've noticed.

- You never know what's about to take you by surprise.

- Or who.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

- We were just discussing duties.

- And we've just finished.

- I was coming to see you anyway.

Tell me more about Dal.

- Oh, he's well and happy,

enjoying the outdoor life and space,

being close to the earth.

- On his own.

Without his friends.

- He's with some great people.

He wanted to stay.

- Are you sure you didn't dump him

just like you dumped the rest of us?

- I'm telling you the truth, Amber.

- Then it's a bit hard to swallow.

You took my good mate and then came back without him.

- It was his idea to go.

- We had the same plans, him and me.

Escape to the country.

- I'm sorry.

- Doesn't do much good, does it?

I'm still stuck in this lump of concrete.

- Maybe not.

But there is something going on about there

worth knowing about.

- Other than chaos and destruction, you mean?

- There's a tribal get-together being organized.

Leaders hanging out and talking.

- What, a sort of gathering?

- To talk and trade.

The Nomads seemed really keen.

It could be a new start for us all.

(dramatic music)

(water gurgles faintly) (horse neighs)

- Stop fidgeting.

- I can't help it.

It's my nature.

- Take a deep breath, calm down, and relax.

- Easy for you to say.

- How come?

- You just seem that type.

- (chuckles) And what type's that?

- Laid back, taking life as it comes.

- It's just a decision, Dal.

- If only it was that easy.

- It's as easy as you make it.

- So if you were torn between a way of life and a girl,

what would you do?

- Which one makes your heart beat faster?

- She does.

- But?

- But my head says, "Stay.

"This is what you've longed for.

"And she doesn't love you anyway."

- Will you be happy if you stay?

- How come you always know what questions to ask?

- It's not difficult.

I just look in your eyes.

- So I should go back?

- (chuckles) I ask questions.

I don't give answers.

(baby coos)

- Sorry, am I disturbing you?

- Oh, no it's fine.

- I just came to say I'm pleased you're back with us.

- You are?

- Yeah!

It's important to stick together.

Show your solidarity but take care of each other.

- I agree.

- And if there's anything I can do to help.

- Jack, why are you really here?

- I just said...

- No, I mean the real reason.

- Well, I was just wondering.

- Yeah?

- Dal.

Is he ever coming back?

- I don't think so.

- Right.

(dramatic music)

- Is it the right one?

- Where'd you get it?

I grabbed the last dibs from the pharmacy months ago.

- It's from outside.

- You braved the Locos to get me perfume.

- It's what you do that counts.

Remember?

- I still don't get it.

I mean, one minute I'm invisible,

and the next you risk gettin' beaten up or worse for me.

- Let's just say I've seen the light.

- (scoffs) You sound like Tai-San.

I even thought you fancied her.

- Tai-San?

Me?

- Well, she is quite cute.

If you're into weird women.

- You found me out.

The fact is I was for a while.

After the Ebony thing.

- (scoffs) I knew it.

- But not in the way you mean.

- What other way is there?

- I was into her beliefs.

Not her body.

- Oh, please!

- Straight up, Zan!

Even tough Lex gets freaked out sometimes

the way things are.

- Don't we all?

- And for a while I got sucked into

being deep and meaningful.

I lost the plot a bit.

- And now?

- Nah.

Not my thing.

- Could have told you that in the first place.

- Besides, I found a...

What does Tai-San call it?

An inner truth.

(romantic music)

- You have?

- Yeah.

There's nothing that a juicy snog

with a girlfriend can't fix.

- Is that right?

Any particular girl you got in mind?

(relaxing music)

- Mind if I come in?

- No.

- I just wanted to say thank you for giving me my baby back.

Again.

- It's alright.

I don't miss the pungy nappies one bit.

- But what about Brady?

- You do sort of get used to having her around.

- You've been more of a mother to her than I have till now.

- There's the next umpteen years for you to catch up.

- I mean it, Salene.

Who knows what would've happened without you?

- Don't make me into some sort of superhero.

I'm far from it.

- If you feel that way, I might as well give up now!

- Not as a mum.

As a person.

- (chuckles) And I thought I beat myself up.

(dramatic music)

- I'm bored with this game.

It's too easy.

If only we had three,

then we could play murderer-in-the-dark down in the sewers.

- But we haven't got three, have we?

- I was just saying.

- No doubt!

Why did you have to remind me?

I was having fun!

- Sorry.

Maybe we could ask that new boy, KC?

- Him?

Don't be stupid!

He'll probably hit us or steal our toys.

- Hiya.

Wanna play?

- No, thanks.

- What's the game?

- Giant Ant Attack, it's my favorite.

There are these huge, giant ants that attack you

and they've got one big, massive brain

that you have to kill.

(water gurgles)

- Wanna try juggling again?

Physical activity can take your mind off things.

Get your spirits up!

- I don't think juggling will help things.

- You and this, what's her name?

- Trudy.

- You said she didn't love you.

- She liked me, though.

We looked after Brady together.

Her baby daughter.

- Then you could pretend the rest.

- While she was here I could.

- And now you're driving yourself nuts,

wondering how she is and what might have been.

- Have you got direct access to my brain?

- (chuckles) It's written all over your face, buddy!

- I shouldn't have let her go on her own.

- That's it.

No more talking about this girl.

Find her.

- I thought you didn't give answers.

- There are exceptions to every rule.

Now, go!

(dramatic music)

- What are you doing?

- M-M-O-B.

- What?

- M-M-O-B.

- What's that mean?

- Minding My Own Business.

Are you stupid or something?

- I was only asking.

- Well, don't!

- I'm sorry about your brother.

I didn't hear anything about him or see.

What are you really doing?

- Remembering.

- What was your favorite?

- The one with the chocolate flake.

- I'll buy you one!

- What?

- Two ice cream cones, please, with flakes.

Thanks.

Here.

Mm, brilliant.

Watch out, it's dripping!

- (chuckles) You're nuts!

- Yeah, I suppose.

What?

- You forgot the raspberry sauce.

- Raspberry sauce, please!

- So why the big pow wow?

- It's Trudy. - Oh, how boring.

Can I get back to clipping my toenails?

- She's told me about a tribal gathering.

All the tribe leaders are getting together to talk.

- It sounds like a set-up.

- Hear her out, will you?

- Look, you're so naive!

It's a trap.

- And you're so suspicious!

Not everyone's out to get you!

- Speaking from experience, they are.

- If we believe that, we'd be holed up here forever.

- We need to take a risk and talk.

Whoever these guys are.

- We've gotta more contact with the outside world, Lex.

- It could be just what they're planning.

We could play right into their hands!

- Were you born cynical?

- Look, ask yourselves, why are they doin' it?

- Well, maybe they're like us, tired of struggling alone.

- Or gangs of madmen waiting to do us in.

- He's such a cheery soul, isn't he?

- What will we do without him?

- I'm up for sussing it some more.

Can't do any harm.

- Let's make a decision after that.

What do you say, Lex?

- Does it matter?

- Yes.

Your vote counts.

- And what's one vote when the other two

come from La La Land?

(dramatic music)

- Men.

They warp your brain, don't they?

- If you let them.

- I suppose you meditate it all away.

- It helps.

That and seeing them for the nerds they really are!

(chuckles)

- You know, I almost let Lex blow our friendship.

- How come?

- By (chuckles) being a jealous cow.

- Nothing to be jealous about!

- I know that now.

Lex explained it all.

- Good.

- But for a while I did think

there was something going on between you two.

- Lex and me?

No!

- I believe you.

- Good.

We only slept together twice.

Mostly as an aura balancing exercise.

- Aura balancing exercise?

You-- - Ha-yah!

- Hey!

Cut it out!

What on earth is going on?

- Ask her!

You slag!

- It's just a misunderstanding.

Zandra and I are coming from different places.

- I know where you come from.

The gutter.

(thrilling music)

(dog barks)

- I've just come to say thanks.

You guys have been really great to me.

- It's a pleasure to be of service.

- I loved hanging around with you guys.

- And we loved having you around!

- But I've decided to go and look for Trudy.

- Bad decision.

- No, I've made up my mind.

It's the right thing for me.

- He doesn't seem to understand.

Explain, Suze.

- You've given yourself to us now.

You're a part of our tribe.

- You won't be going anywhere.
