105
00:28:36,923 --> 00:28:40,509
How easy to believe
in the common good,

106
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:42,553
when that belief

107
00:28:42,678 --> 00:28:46,140
is rewarded with status,

108
00:28:46,265 --> 00:28:48,226
wealth

109
00:28:48,351 --> 00:28:49,518
and power!

110
00:28:58,736 --> 00:29:01,113
How hard to believe
in the common good.

111
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:06,410
When every fibre of my being

112
00:29:06,535 --> 00:29:09,121

113
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:13,668
that the awesome forces
I have helped to create

114
00:29:13,793 --> 00:29:17,380

of madmen!

115
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:23,803
I've been gagged by the volume
of my own corruption!

116
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:27,890
Is it not fitting, then,
that I be president...

117
00:29:29,392 --> 00:29:34,563

118
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:42,655

Aah...

122
00:30:47,553 --> 00:30:48,637
Ah!

123
00:30:50,723 --> 00:30:53,059

125
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:37,686
All right, where are you?

126
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:41,816
Where are you?

127
00:31:44,151 --> 00:31:46,570
Where are you?

128
00:31:51,826 --> 00:31:54,328
Where is he?

129
00:31:56,747 --> 00:31:59,166
If you don't come out,
I'll shoot the kid!

130
00:32:33,909 --> 00:32:36,036
And now I am God.

131
00:36:12,753 --> 00:36:15,631
- 'Hello.'
- G'day.

132
00:36:15,756 --> 00:36:18,425
- 'How are you?'
- Pretty good. Whaddya know?

133
00:36:29,103 --> 00:36:31,021
UV's up a bit.

134
00:36:32,272 --> 00:36:34,066
Keep an eye on that.

135
00:36:59,216 --> 00:37:01,009
It's not real.

136
00:37:10,978 --> 00:37:12,730
God, it's good to see someone.

137
00:37:20,446 --> 00:37:22,573
So, I went into my sister's room...

138
00:37:25,117 --> 00:37:26,660
and she was gone.

139
00:37:29,037 --> 00:37:30,581
I mean, gone.

140
00:37:33,792 --> 00:37:35,210
Just...

141
00:37:36,295 --> 00:37:37,755
disappeared.

142
00:37:42,968 --> 00:37:46,263
I hung around for about two weeks
after that. I don't remember much.

143
00:37:46,388 --> 00:37:48,849
- It was pretty bad.
- Guess you were a little crazy.

144
00:37:50,476 --> 00:37:52,276
I didn't decide I was
president of the world.

145
00:37:54,313 --> 00:37:57,399
It was really strange
walking through the hospital in the dark.

146
00:37:58,942 --> 00:38:00,611
No sound.

147
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:02,446
Empty beds.

148
00:38:05,532 --> 00:38:08,452
- I was quite shocked when I saw the baby.
- Baby?

149
00:38:08,577 --> 00:38:10,788
Yeah, not just that it was a baby.

150
00:38:11,914 --> 00:38:13,874
I didn't look too closely.
There were maggots.

151
00:38:15,334 --> 00:38:17,169
That means there must be flies.

152
00:38:18,253 --> 00:38:20,506
No. The Effect happened
three weeks ago.

153
00:38:23,342 --> 00:38:25,177
The baby hadn't been dead that long.

154
00:38:27,429 --> 00:38:29,389
Something's changed.

155
00:38:30,766 --> 00:38:32,601
I can't quite measure it.

156
00:38:33,435 --> 00:38:35,145
But I can feel it.

157
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:41,401
It's as though we've been
shifted sideways, you know?

158
00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:44,404
North Pole's still up north,

159
00:38:44,530 --> 00:38:47,741
but the water keeps going down
the plug hole the wrong way.

160
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:51,912
I get the feeling...

161
00:38:53,413 --> 00:38:55,332
we're either dead...

162
00:38:56,458 --> 00:38:58,252
or in a different universe.

163
00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:22,442
Are you in a different universe?

164
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:25,737
Are you a woman?

165
00:39:29,283 --> 00:39:30,868
Or a child?

166
00:39:47,175 --> 00:39:48,886
I've got this theory.

167
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:52,097
I believe people's faces are soft,
like plasticine.

168
00:39:52,222 --> 00:39:55,350
They're not rigid, like bone,
as doctors would have us believe.

169
00:39:56,894 --> 00:39:59,897
And the shape of the face is determined
consciously by the brain.

170
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:02,900
So, if your brain has got a low capacity,

171
00:40:03,025 --> 00:40:05,485
you would be both ugly and stupid.

172
00:40:06,278 --> 00:40:07,881
But if you've got a reasonably good brain,

173
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:09,883
then it's up to you to decide
how to use its energy.

174
00:40:09,907 --> 00:40:13,410
You could be reasonably attractive
and reasonably intelligent,

175
00:40:13,535 --> 00:40:16,914
or you could be smart, but ugly.

176
00:40:19,625 --> 00:40:22,169
Or beautiful, but stupid.

177
00:40:26,381 --> 00:40:29,051
I thought one didn't get a hangover
with champagne.

178
00:40:30,302 --> 00:40:31,762
So did I.

179
00:40:33,138 --> 00:40:37,225
Now, if you got really lucky,
you could have an exceptional brain,

180
00:40:37,351 --> 00:40:42,230
and you could be both extremely beautiful
and highly intelligent.

181
00:40:42,356 --> 00:40:43,440
Like me.

182
00:40:45,776 --> 00:40:48,528
- Do you make all that up yourself?
- Yeah.

183
00:40:50,530 --> 00:40:51,990
Gee, you're beautiful.

184
00:40:53,033 --> 00:40:54,534
Hey...

185
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:56,286
Are you calling me stupid?

186
00:40:56,954 --> 00:40:58,372
No, no.

187
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:00,707
Wouldn't do that.

188
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:41,540
No maggots.

189
00:41:43,041 --> 00:41:44,668
She was calling for help.

190
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:49,047
She was definitely alive after The Effect.

191
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:16,366
Pull over.

192
00:42:23,957 --> 00:42:25,584
What's wrong?

193
00:42:27,419 --> 00:42:30,505
Does it look to you
like the sun's pulsating?

194
00:42:33,467 --> 00:42:34,760
No.

195
00:42:36,595 --> 00:42:38,430
No. Doesn't to me, either.

196
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:59,576
Mr and Mrs Smith?

197
00:43:16,051 --> 00:43:18,720
- This one's yours.
- Thanks very much.

198
00:43:20,222 --> 00:43:22,724
If we find anyone alive,
what do you think they'll be like?

199
00:43:25,477 --> 00:43:27,521
We might find all manner of horrors.

200
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:31,358
Politicians.

201
00:43:33,735 --> 00:43:35,362
Transvestites.

202
00:43:38,657 --> 00:43:42,119
I think we should look in places
where people are either trapped

203
00:43:42,244 --> 00:43:43,745
or too afraid to leave.

204
00:43:44,496 --> 00:43:45,956
Mental hospitals, prisons.

205
00:43:46,665 --> 00:43:48,250
That sort of thing.

206
00:43:49,417 --> 00:43:51,169
Then let's hope we don't find anyone.

207
00:43:51,294 --> 00:43:52,838
We have to look.

208
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:04,850
There you are.

209
00:44:19,447 --> 00:44:21,616
Run out of words?

210
00:44:25,537 --> 00:44:26,955
Where are we sleeping?

211
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,124
I'm sleeping over there.

212
00:44:30,667 --> 00:44:32,627
Thought you might say that.

213
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,768
This one'll do.
The keys are in it.

214
00:44:51,438 --> 00:44:53,315
I still don't like it.

215
00:44:53,940 --> 00:44:55,650
Don't be beautiful.

216
00:44:56,860 --> 00:44:59,487
It's simple - I'll cover that side
of the river, you cover this.

217
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:05,869
- Call me every half hour.
- Yeah.

218
00:45:06,411 --> 00:45:08,163
OK.

219
00:45:26,723 --> 00:45:28,725
'Zac, can you hear me?'

220
00:45:32,479 --> 00:45:34,231
Joanne, come in, please.

221
00:45:34,356 --> 00:45:36,691
'Zac, I'm at the hospital.

222
00:45:36,816 --> 00:45:38,193
'Where are you?'

223
00:45:38,318 --> 00:45:41,321
I'm driving past the university.
Everything OK?

224
00:45:41,446 --> 00:45:43,657
'Yeah. I'm just going in.'

225
00:45:43,782 --> 00:45:45,575
OK. Call you in half an hour.

226
00:47:03,862 --> 00:47:05,447
'You there, Zac?'

227
00:47:07,365 --> 00:47:09,826
Hello? You OK?

228
00:47:11,036 --> 00:47:13,246
'I felt really strange a few seconds ago.

229
00:47:13,371 --> 00:47:14,956
'Where are you?'

230
00:47:15,790 --> 00:47:19,961
Er... I'm at Mental Street and Hillcrest.

231
00:47:20,086 --> 00:47:23,423
- There's nothing here.
- 'Was there anything at the university?'

232
00:47:25,967 --> 00:47:27,302
Not a thing.

233
00:47:27,427 --> 00:47:30,638
'Call you later.
But keep in touch, though, eh?'

234
00:47:30,764 --> 00:47:33,141
OK. Over and out.

235
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:52,369
Are you trying to tell me

236
00:47:52,494 --> 00:47:54,996
that you and your white-coated cronies
up the road there

237
00:47:55,121 --> 00:47:57,874
really had something to do with this?

238
00:47:57,999 --> 00:47:59,501
Don't know.

239
00:48:00,293 --> 00:48:02,504
It was an American idea.

240
00:48:02,629 --> 00:48:05,131
They were experimenting
with energy transmissions

241
00:48:05,256 --> 00:48:07,175
through a grid surrounding the Earth,

242
00:48:08,218 --> 00:48:10,595
aircraft, drawing directly from that grid,

243
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,306
so they wouldn't have to refuel.
That sort of thing.

244
00:48:14,099 --> 00:48:16,309
Of course.

245
00:48:16,434 --> 00:48:20,313
An exclusive all-male club
playing God with the universe.

246
00:48:24,275 --> 00:48:26,444
We were just one small unit

247
00:48:26,569 --> 00:48:29,072
in a whole network of stations
around the world.

248
00:48:29,197 --> 00:48:31,408
Acting simultaneously.

249
00:48:31,533 --> 00:48:33,034
Besides...

250
00:48:35,286 --> 00:48:37,330
We might not have been responsible.

251
00:48:38,248 --> 00:48:39,707
God may have just blinked.

252
00:48:39,833 --> 00:48:42,460
God blinked and the whole world
disappeared?

253
00:48:45,088 --> 00:48:49,467
A world of noisy, brawling,

254
00:48:49,592 --> 00:48:51,845
wonderful human beings.

255
00:49:00,854 --> 00:49:02,313
God, I miss them.

256
00:49:13,783 --> 00:49:15,368
It's all right.

257
00:49:26,754 --> 00:49:29,257
- Hello?
- 'Dr Hobson, this is reception.

258
00:49:29,382 --> 00:49:32,802
'I suppose you realise you must
vacate your room by 10 o'clock.

259
00:49:32,927 --> 00:49:36,055
'And, are you aware there is
an extra charge for your guest last night?'

260
00:49:36,181 --> 00:49:38,683
Didn't realise I had to pay for it.

261
00:49:40,393 --> 00:49:42,270
You don't get anything for nothing,
you know?

262
00:49:42,395 --> 00:49:44,606
Come back to bed.

263
00:49:49,736 --> 00:49:51,654
- Thank you.
- Anything else, sir?

264
00:49:52,822 --> 00:49:55,742
- More crumpet?
- Sorry, love, crumpet's off.

265
00:50:15,136 --> 00:50:17,847
- See you one o'clock in the plaza.
- OK, then we head south.

266
00:50:19,432 --> 00:50:22,977
- We go back.
- We'll discuss that at lunch.

267
00:51:13,236 --> 00:51:14,821
There are a number of constants

268
00:51:14,946 --> 00:51:17,699
which have never been known to change
in the history of science.

269
00:51:18,866 --> 00:51:21,494
One of these is the unit charge
of an electron.

270
00:51:23,162 --> 00:51:25,498
In an experiment I have just conducted,

271
00:51:25,623 --> 00:51:28,585
I have established that
this charge has changed

272
00:51:28,710 --> 00:51:32,380
and, in fact, is oscillating
between two new values.

273
00:51:33,798 --> 00:51:35,466
I cannot measure these values,

274
00:51:35,592 --> 00:51:39,470
as it seems the amplitude
of the oscillation is increasing.

275
00:51:43,933 --> 00:51:48,396
I can only conclude
that the fabric of the universe

276
00:51:48,521 --> 00:51:50,481
has not only altered...

277
00:51:51,232 --> 00:51:53,318
but is highly unstable.

278
00:51:57,572 --> 00:51:59,657
God knows where that leaves us.

279
00:51:59,782 --> 00:52:01,784
<i>'Hello, man cher.</i> '

280
00:52:03,870 --> 00:52:05,163
Joanne, is that you?

281
00:52:05,288 --> 00:52:07,999
Oh... you mean there is someone else?

282
00:52:09,584 --> 00:52:12,795
Hey, you know you're the only girl
in the world for me, sweetheart.

283
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,422
OK.

284
00:52:16,424 --> 00:52:17,842
<i>Au revoir, cheri.</i>

285
00:52:17,967 --> 00:52:19,761
I'm on me way.

286
00:54:10,413 --> 00:54:12,206
Freeze, mister!

287
00:54:21,883 --> 00:54:23,551
You alone?

288
00:54:25,261 --> 00:54:27,013
You seen anyone else?

289
00:54:29,348 --> 00:54:31,100
Up against the truck.

290
00:54:45,823 --> 00:54:47,408
Turn around.

291
00:54:55,917 --> 00:54:58,377
'Zac, are you there?'

292
00:55:05,009 --> 00:55:06,719
'Zac?

293
00:55:10,056 --> 00:55:11,682
'Zac?

294
00:55:12,475 --> 00:55:14,185
'What's holding you up?'

295
00:55:29,659 --> 00:55:30,868
You tell lies.

296
00:55:30,993 --> 00:55:34,080
No! Well...
what would you have done?

297
00:55:34,205 --> 00:55:36,249
- How many of you?
- Just her and me.

298
00:55:38,584 --> 00:55:40,545
Two of yous?

299
00:55:43,464 --> 00:55:45,424
Switch it off and cruise.

300
00:56:07,488 --> 00:56:08,948
- Look...
- Come on!

301
00:56:16,831 --> 00:56:19,083
- She's not there.
- You'll find her.

302
00:56:29,051 --> 00:56:30,428
Come on, come on.

303
00:56:41,731 --> 00:56:43,441
'Zac, where've you been?'

304
00:56:43,566 --> 00:56:45,401
Why didn't you answer me?

305
00:56:45,526 --> 00:56:47,612
This bloody radio!

306
00:56:49,655 --> 00:56:52,450
'I thought
I was gonna be alone again.'

307
00:57:40,831 --> 00:57:42,333
<i>Kia ora.</i>

308
00:57:56,681 --> 00:57:59,016
Whey-hey!
Hide the bottle. It's a cop.

309
00:58:00,184 --> 00:58:03,020
Straight face! Straight face, please.

310
00:58:36,929 --> 00:58:38,723
Fish.

311
00:58:38,848 --> 00:58:41,350
- Fish in that stream.
- Baby ones.

312
00:58:41,475 --> 00:58:43,269
Yeah, that makes sense.

313
00:58:43,394 --> 00:58:44,895
The fish eggs settle
on the river bed.

314
00:58:45,021 --> 00:58:47,273
The male fish swims along
dropping sperm on them.

315
00:58:47,398 --> 00:58:51,694
So, if the sperm was released
before The Effect, and penetrated after,

316
00:58:51,819 --> 00:58:53,696
there's be fish.

317
00:58:55,865 --> 00:58:58,284
For a while there,
I thought I was dead.

318
00:58:58,409 --> 00:59:00,578
He thought he was God.

319
00:59:06,042 --> 00:59:09,045
- Why did you think you were dead?
- Cos I was.

320
00:59:11,172 --> 00:59:13,716
I was in the bush down south
with a mate.

321
00:59:14,550 --> 00:59:15,885
Well, sort of mate.

322
00:59:30,357 --> 00:59:34,028
'As I began to go unconscious,
I could see it all happening.'

323
00:59:35,738 --> 00:59:38,032
I was watching from high up.

324
00:59:39,033 --> 00:59:41,619
I could see him,
and I could see myself.

325
00:59:42,661 --> 00:59:44,914
It was really peaceful.

326
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:46,999
'Like a weight had been lifted off.

327
00:59:53,589 --> 00:59:55,758
'There was another thing.

328
00:59:55,883 --> 00:59:58,594
'Like a light, a long way off.

329
00:59:59,845 --> 01:00:03,182
'I was travelling towards it,
yearning to reach it.

330
01:00:03,849 --> 01:00:06,560
'Suddenly, I felt the whole weight of life
crash back on me.'

331
01:00:08,771 --> 01:00:10,272
I was so disappointed.

332
01:00:10,397 --> 01:00:13,109
You felt that
if you could reach that light,

333
01:00:13,234 --> 01:00:14,985
you'd never want to come back again.

334
01:00:27,164 --> 01:00:28,499
Happened to me.

335
01:00:31,085 --> 01:00:33,587
- The same.
- The moment of death.

336
01:00:34,171 --> 01:00:37,591
The Effect happened at the exact moment
of death, and that's why we survived.

337
01:00:40,219 --> 01:00:42,972
- Is that what you think?
- I reckon.

338
01:00:43,097 --> 01:00:45,558
For a while there
I didn't know what I was.

339
01:00:45,683 --> 01:00:48,018
And when I found
I was alone in this world,

340
01:00:48,144 --> 01:00:49,979
I thought I was a ghost.

341
01:00:53,232 --> 01:00:54,859
It was really sad.

342
01:00:56,735 --> 01:00:59,405
I reckoned if I was here and alive,

343
01:00:59,530 --> 01:01:01,615
I'd better head north
to look for survivors.

344
01:01:02,575 --> 01:01:04,368
And if I was a spirit,

345
01:01:04,493 --> 01:01:06,829
I thought I'd better
head for Cape Reinga.

346
01:01:07,872 --> 01:01:09,999
Either way, I was heading
in the right direction.

347
01:01:11,083 --> 01:01:14,003
So there's just the three of us.

348
01:01:15,796 --> 01:01:16,839
Well...

349
01:01:18,048 --> 01:01:20,551
you're alive and so am I.

350
01:01:20,676 --> 01:01:22,386
How about you?

351
01:01:31,145 --> 01:01:32,813
I suppose so.

352
01:01:45,075 --> 01:01:46,619
Hey!

353
01:01:49,663 --> 01:01:52,017
- What do you think of him?
- Oh, he plays the odd bum note.

354
01:01:52,041 --> 01:01:54,126
Oh, come on.

355
01:01:54,793 --> 01:01:57,046
Nah, I think he's great.

356
01:01:57,755 --> 01:01:59,673
I see you made the beds.

357
01:01:59,798 --> 01:02:02,259
Mm-hmm. One, two...

358
01:02:05,846 --> 01:02:07,681
It's ironic.

359
01:02:07,806 --> 01:02:09,558
Of all of us,

360
01:02:09,683 --> 01:02:12,353
I thought I'd be the one
most equipped to handle...

361
01:02:13,312 --> 01:02:15,981
whatever it is that's happened.

362
01:02:16,106 --> 01:02:18,275
I used to enjoy being a loner.

363
01:02:20,819 --> 01:02:22,655
And then you came along.

364
01:02:28,285 --> 01:02:30,704
I'm thinking about the three of us now.

365
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:34,166
Not just you and not just me.

366
01:02:41,966 --> 01:02:42,967
Hey Api,

367
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:45,803
- play us another song which we can sing.
- OK.

368
01:05:29,383 --> 01:05:33,011
'If the oscillations in the sun
continue to increase at the present rate,

369
01:05:33,137 --> 01:05:36,473
'the sun must collapse in a few days,
taking everything with it.

370
01:05:37,349 --> 01:05:41,812
'Computer analysis is needed immediately
for a more accurate prediction.'

371
01:05:45,023 --> 01:05:48,026
You know, the interesting thing
about friendships is,

372
01:05:48,152 --> 01:05:49,528
is that they're not logical.

373
01:05:49,653 --> 01:05:52,674
You know how somebody'll come up to you
and ask you why do you like so and so,

374
01:05:52,698 --> 01:05:54,843
and you'll give them all these
interesting reasons why you do,

375
01:05:54,867 --> 01:05:58,078
but you've actually made them up
after you've decided you like them.

376
01:05:58,203 --> 01:06:01,099
I reckon you decide that you like somebody
in the two seconds that you meet them.

377
01:06:01,123 --> 01:06:02,666
You stick to it regardless.

378
01:06:02,791 --> 01:06:07,171
So, if you like them, you're gonna find
good things in all the bad things they do.

379
01:06:07,296 --> 01:06:11,258
And if you don't, you're gonna find bad
things in all the good things they do, eh?

380
01:06:11,383 --> 01:06:13,302
The other thing is,

381
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:15,053
you tend to like people who like you.

382
01:06:15,179 --> 01:06:16,972
And what did you decide about me?

383
01:06:19,057 --> 01:06:20,601
Guess you like me.

384
01:06:22,186 --> 01:06:23,770
Why was your mate trying to kill you?

385
01:06:27,191 --> 01:06:28,609
Cos I killed his wife.

386
01:06:29,735 --> 01:06:32,237
Killed his Wife? Why?

387
01:06:32,362 --> 01:06:34,364
It was necessary.

388
01:06:37,534 --> 01:06:38,785
Necessary.

389
01:06:38,911 --> 01:06:41,330
And who decides
when it'll be necessary?

390
01:06:42,748 --> 01:06:45,876
And when'll be the next time
that you decide that it's necessary?

391
01:06:48,754 --> 01:06:51,006
Who the hell do you think you are?

392
01:06:51,131 --> 01:06:52,633
God?

393
01:06:59,056 --> 01:07:00,265
You're not God.

394
01:07:23,997 --> 01:07:26,291
Joanne, look, something
really strange is happening.

395
01:07:26,416 --> 01:07:28,256
I don't quite understand it,
but we're gonna...

396
01:07:31,213 --> 01:07:33,924
- What's the matter?
- Leave me alone, please.

397
01:07:37,636 --> 01:07:39,346
What's happened?

398
01:07:41,890 --> 01:07:44,101
Look, I got something
really important to tell you.

399
01:07:44,226 --> 01:07:46,436
We went through all that shit last night.

400
01:07:46,562 --> 01:07:49,356
I'm not talking about last night,
I'm talking about the sun!

401
01:07:50,482 --> 01:07:52,776
You wanna talk about the sun?

402
01:07:52,901 --> 01:07:55,153
Go and talk to that God out there.

403
01:07:56,363 --> 01:07:57,864
Listen to me!

404
01:07:59,658 --> 01:08:01,451
Take your hands off me.

405
01:08:01,577 --> 01:08:02,703
What are you doing?

406
01:08:09,751 --> 01:08:11,295
Api...

407
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,520
How soon can you get your gear together?
We've gotta head up north.

408
01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:18,885
- But you just got here?
- Yeah, I know.

409
01:08:19,011 --> 01:08:20,846
But please, mate, how quickly?

410
01:08:20,971 --> 01:08:23,390
- My place not good enough for you?
- No, no. It's not that.

411
01:08:23,515 --> 01:08:27,477
- Look, I'll explain it along the way, OK?
- Are you in charge here?

412
01:08:30,063 --> 01:08:33,442
OK. Yeah, if that's the way you want it,
yes I am. Yes.

413
01:08:33,567 --> 01:08:36,111
She came back crying.
What did you do to her?

414
01:08:36,236 --> 01:08:39,031
- What were you doing?
- I'm in charge, remember?

415
01:08:39,156 --> 01:08:41,116
Joanne, get your arse into gear.

416
01:08:41,241 --> 01:08:43,952
We're leaving straight away.

417
01:08:44,077 --> 01:08:47,539
Listen, honky, haven't you noticed?
Things have changed around here.

418
01:08:47,664 --> 01:08:51,752
The white boss went with the rest of them.
There's just you and me now.

419
01:08:51,877 --> 01:08:54,129
Look, it's complicated enough
for people like me

420
01:08:54,254 --> 01:08:57,633
- without trying to explain to people like you.
- People like what?

421
01:08:57,758 --> 01:08:59,259
Will you listen to that!

422
01:09:05,223 --> 01:09:08,477
OK. If that's the way you want it.

423
01:09:20,864 --> 01:09:21,865
You coming?

424
01:09:22,449 --> 01:09:24,785
I wouldn't ride with you
if you were the last man on Earth.

425
01:09:26,286 --> 01:09:27,871
I'm working on it.

426
01:09:55,107 --> 01:09:59,361
'It would seem that Domingo's
Operation Flashlight is still intact.

427
01:09:59,486 --> 01:10:02,614
'Self-energising from
the entire balanced grid.

428
01:10:02,739 --> 01:10:05,242
'And now this is somehow
affecting the sun.'

429
01:10:42,863 --> 01:10:43,905
You!

430
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,328
If you don't stop, I'll shoot.
And I don't care which one.

431
01:10:50,454 --> 01:10:52,598
I'm not going to live with two of you
at each other's throats

432
01:10:52,622 --> 01:10:54,583
trying to prove which one is God.

433
01:10:54,708 --> 01:10:58,336
If you don't believe me, try it.

434
01:10:58,462 --> 01:10:59,546
You don't trust...

435
01:11:00,422 --> 01:11:02,090
For Christ's sake!

436
01:11:02,215 --> 01:11:06,052
Look, that bloody thing's been worrying me
for over a year now.

437
01:11:06,178 --> 01:11:08,597
I knew there was something wrong
with that project.

438
01:11:08,722 --> 01:11:10,682
And I said nothing.

439
01:11:10,807 --> 01:11:12,726
Can you be more guilty than that?

440
01:11:13,727 --> 01:11:16,146
You condemned yourself to death.

441
01:11:16,271 --> 01:11:20,358
On the morning of The Effect,
you were trying to kill yourself.

442
01:11:25,447 --> 01:11:27,282
What you gonna do about it?

443
01:11:27,407 --> 01:11:29,117
Don't know.

444
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,828
You trying to tell me
you jokers caused all this

445
01:11:31,953 --> 01:11:33,830
and you can't even fix it?

446
01:11:33,955 --> 01:11:35,874
Well, we never did know the full story.

447
01:11:35,999 --> 01:11:38,251
The Americans withheld information.

448
01:11:39,628 --> 01:11:43,215
Are you monkeying with the universe
without even knowing what you're doing?

449
01:11:45,592 --> 01:11:48,261
Nobody realised what was happening.

450
01:11:48,386 --> 01:11:51,223
We trusted them.
They were on our side.

451
01:11:51,348 --> 01:11:53,892
You can't be that dumb.

452
01:11:54,017 --> 01:11:56,353
They might as well tell the Russians
as tell you jokers.

453
01:11:56,478 --> 01:11:59,856
Besides, they don't tell you,
you don't tell us...

454
01:11:59,981 --> 01:12:02,108
You're all the same to me.

455
01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:04,110
Well, I've told you now.

456
01:12:06,738 --> 01:12:08,365
You tell lies.

457
01:12:13,161 --> 01:12:14,830
Try it again.

458
01:12:22,254 --> 01:12:23,338
Same result.

459
01:12:23,463 --> 01:12:25,757
Those two lines that meet.
What do they mean?

460
01:12:26,550 --> 01:12:30,720
It's a time scale.
That's the point of maximum instability.

461
01:12:30,846 --> 01:12:32,848
About six o'clock tomorrow morning.

462
01:12:32,973 --> 01:12:34,891
What happens then?

463
01:12:35,016 --> 01:12:37,102
Well, I think it's The Effect.

464
01:12:38,103 --> 01:12:39,563
It's gonna happen again.

465
01:12:45,193 --> 01:12:46,653
Zac?

466
01:12:49,281 --> 01:12:51,324
- Joanne?
- Api?

467
01:12:52,325 --> 01:12:53,994
Hey!

468
01:12:56,746 --> 01:12:57,831
Yeah?

469
01:12:58,456 --> 01:12:59,916
Zac?

470
01:13:00,417 --> 01:13:02,002
Api?

471
01:13:03,336 --> 01:13:05,297
Where are you?

472
01:13:08,633 --> 01:13:10,719
Api!

473
01:13:13,138 --> 01:13:15,140
Zac?

474
01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:18,602
Api.

475
01:13:18,727 --> 01:13:21,354
Joanne? Where are you?

476
01:13:25,108 --> 01:13:27,527
- Joanne!
- I'm in here.

477
01:13:29,195 --> 01:13:30,822
Joanne?

478
01:13:43,209 --> 01:13:44,753
You OK?

479
01:13:54,179 --> 01:13:56,932
Your calculations are wrong.
It's too soon.

480
01:13:57,766 --> 01:13:59,351
No.

481
01:13:59,476 --> 01:14:01,394
That was just a tremor.

482
01:14:01,978 --> 01:14:04,147
Next time that happens,
it'll be the real thing.

483
01:14:04,272 --> 01:14:07,025
Your calculations
are a waste of time.

484
01:14:07,150 --> 01:14:08,777
You reckon the grid is balanced?

485
01:14:08,902 --> 01:14:11,988
OK. We take the sand out,
the grid collapses.

486
01:14:18,912 --> 01:14:19,913
Didn't work.

487
01:14:30,173 --> 01:14:32,842
- Neat, eh?
- He's an artist.

488
01:14:38,556 --> 01:14:39,849
Are you sure there's enough?

489
01:14:43,728 --> 01:14:45,355
How much you reckon we need?

490
01:14:46,189 --> 01:14:47,607
A ton?

491
01:14:48,942 --> 01:14:50,652
We take a truckload.

492
01:14:50,777 --> 01:14:53,405
So, Perrin throws the switch,

493
01:14:53,530 --> 01:14:56,491
The Effect happens,
and everyone disappears.

494
01:14:56,616 --> 01:15:01,705
But our little effect is happening again
tomorrow morning.

495
01:15:02,872 --> 01:15:06,001
Now there's no Perrin, no switch.

496
01:15:06,126 --> 01:15:09,671
So maybe The Effect and the grid
are totally unrelated.

497
01:15:10,672 --> 01:15:13,091
- You mean like that boy with the stick?
- Eh?

498
01:15:13,216 --> 01:15:14,718
The boy with the stick.

499
01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:17,470
Remember that massive
power blackout in the States?

500
01:15:17,595 --> 01:15:20,432
The whole east coast
was out for about six hours.

501
01:15:20,557 --> 01:15:23,018
They reckon this boy
was on his way home.

502
01:15:23,143 --> 01:15:25,228
He was pissed off about something.

503
01:15:25,353 --> 01:15:27,897
And he whacked this power pole
with all of his might.

504
01:15:28,023 --> 01:15:30,900
And, at that instant,
his whole world went black.

505
01:15:31,526 --> 01:15:33,486
And he thought he had done it.

506
01:15:33,611 --> 01:15:36,031
- What do you reckon?
- Well...

507
01:15:36,156 --> 01:15:39,743
I reckon The Effect was a cosmic event,
like the creation.

508
01:15:39,868 --> 01:15:42,829
And nobody has ever
explained that properly.

509
01:15:42,954 --> 01:15:45,582
On the other hand,
perhaps nobody disappeared.

510
01:15:45,707 --> 01:15:47,125
Only me.

511
01:15:47,250 --> 01:15:48,668
I am The Effect.

512
01:15:48,793 --> 01:15:51,421
- And us?
- You're not real.

513
01:15:51,546 --> 01:15:53,423
You're in my mind.

514
01:15:53,548 --> 01:15:55,508
You're God.

515
01:15:55,633 --> 01:15:58,845
I actually do think it's the grid.
Besides, it's our best bet.

516
01:15:58,970 --> 01:16:00,638
So I'll get the other truck.

517
01:16:02,098 --> 01:16:04,267
We're not real.

518
01:16:04,392 --> 01:16:06,728
You were born under
the shadow of Pirongia.

519
01:16:07,645 --> 01:16:09,189
Down that way.

520
01:16:09,314 --> 01:16:12,525
Patupaiarehe.
The red-haired people of the night.

521
01:16:15,528 --> 01:16:16,780
Maybe you're not real.

522
01:16:20,825 --> 01:16:22,494
Real enough.

523
01:16:53,066 --> 01:16:56,778
Oh, well. I suppose if this works,
we all live happily ever after.

524
01:16:57,612 --> 01:16:59,989
- Don't we?
- Hopefully.

525
01:17:01,074 --> 01:17:03,493
- All three of us?
- We have to.

526
01:17:04,619 --> 01:17:07,330
It's easier for me
because I like both of you.

527
01:17:09,124 --> 01:17:11,292
But you do prefer him.

528
01:17:16,965 --> 01:17:19,551
I get a really strange notion sometimes.

529
01:17:21,261 --> 01:17:26,558
Sometimes I feel as if you and Api
have known each other a long, long time.

530
01:17:28,059 --> 01:17:31,479
As though I'm the victim
of some huge conspiracy.

531
01:17:31,604 --> 01:17:34,315
And you and Api have been sent
to be my guardians.

532
01:17:37,152 --> 01:17:40,572
I feel almost as though you pass
secret messages when I'm not looking.

533
01:17:40,697 --> 01:17:42,866
Perhaps we do.

534
01:17:43,491 --> 01:17:45,702
There's some pretty odd things about Api.

535
01:17:47,495 --> 01:17:50,540
Are you worried about
why his mate was trying to kill him?

536
01:17:50,665 --> 01:17:52,292
Yeah.

537
01:17:52,417 --> 01:17:54,502
He killed his mate's wife.

538
01:17:56,296 --> 01:17:59,340
She was in love with him
and he rejected her.

539
01:17:59,465 --> 01:18:01,634
So she committed suicide.

540
01:18:01,759 --> 01:18:05,597
And... and he felt
he was responsible.

541
01:18:05,722 --> 01:18:07,432
So did his mate.

542
01:18:10,435 --> 01:18:12,312
That's really sad.

543
01:18:15,481 --> 01:18:18,526
The things I've learned about people

544
01:18:18,651 --> 01:18:20,486
in the last few weeks.

545
01:18:22,155 --> 01:18:24,282
You needn't worry about me.

546
01:18:25,491 --> 01:18:27,702
Whatever happens,
I can handle it.

547
01:18:32,415 --> 01:18:33,750
Look out!

548
01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:41,549
Api! I knew there was something
I forgot to tell him.

549
01:18:56,022 --> 01:18:58,650
- What do you reckon?
- Blow it up?

550
01:18:58,775 --> 01:19:00,652
I'll push it out of the way.

551
01:19:02,820 --> 01:19:04,572
Hey, Api.

552
01:19:06,157 --> 01:19:08,493
- Be careful.
- No sweat.

553
01:19:53,079 --> 01:19:55,081
He's going an awfully long way back.

554
01:19:58,626 --> 01:20:00,753
- Surely he's not...
- No.

555
01:20:09,220 --> 01:20:10,680
He is!

556
01:20:19,772 --> 01:20:22,400
- Anybody coming?
- See ya.

557
01:20:59,729 --> 01:21:01,731
Api. You read me?

558
01:21:06,027 --> 01:21:07,945
Api. Come in, Api.

559
01:21:33,679 --> 01:21:37,517
- Here comes the boss.
- Answer your bloody radio, Api!

560
01:21:37,642 --> 01:21:39,435
Give him a bit of a squeeze, eh?

561
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,145
What the hell are you doing?

562
01:21:42,230 --> 01:21:43,773
Api!

563
01:22:14,762 --> 01:22:16,722
- We can't go any closer.
- Why?

564
01:22:16,848 --> 01:22:18,558
The lab's so hot with ionisation,

565
01:22:18,683 --> 01:22:20,393
it'd be like walking
into a microwave oven.

566
01:22:20,518 --> 01:22:21,644
Are we safe enough here?

567
01:22:22,812 --> 01:22:24,439
It's about a mile away.

568
01:22:25,523 --> 01:22:29,193
- Looks like we didn't bring enough.
- Shall we take a look?

569
01:22:46,836 --> 01:22:48,546
The lights are still on.

570
01:22:48,671 --> 01:22:50,756
Yeah. It's powered by the grid.

571
01:22:55,303 --> 01:22:58,556
We'll know whether the grid's collapsed.
The lights will go out.

572
01:22:58,681 --> 01:23:00,892
If we ever get the truck in there at all.

573
01:23:02,059 --> 01:23:03,978
Who's gonna take it in?

574
01:23:05,104 --> 01:23:07,356
I got something back in the city
that could do this job.

575
01:23:07,482 --> 01:23:10,860
It's a radio control unit.
I've used it on a lawn mower.

576
01:23:12,111 --> 01:23:13,988
Will it work on a truck that size?

577
01:23:14,530 --> 01:23:16,908
- We can adapt it.
- Have we got time?

578
01:23:19,118 --> 01:23:20,620
Think so.

579
01:23:21,621 --> 01:23:24,916
If I leave now,
I'll be back in two hours.

580
01:23:38,346 --> 01:23:39,597
Like me to come with you?

581
01:23:41,474 --> 01:23:44,268
- Best you stay.
- OK.

582
01:25:13,024 --> 01:25:15,192
What do you think will happen?

583
01:25:17,069 --> 01:25:19,363
He'll return with the radio device.

584
01:25:20,281 --> 01:25:22,575
Probably won't work
on a truck that size.

585
01:25:25,786 --> 01:25:27,663
So I'll drive it in.

586
01:25:29,373 --> 01:25:31,584
Why you?

587
01:25:31,709 --> 01:25:33,794
Cos I'm the driver.

588
01:25:35,004 --> 01:25:37,673
Anyway, it's easier for me.

589
01:25:38,799 --> 01:25:41,427
My old kuia's looking after me.

590
01:25:45,765 --> 01:25:48,726
- What's that?
- It's the truck!

591
01:25:53,522 --> 01:25:54,982
How long's it been?

592
01:25:55,107 --> 01:25:56,817
About twenty minutes.

593
01:25:56,942 --> 01:25:58,736
He can't have gone at all.

594
01:26:12,124 --> 01:26:13,626
He tells lies!

595
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:18,065
- It's started.
- Zac?
