I got him!
I got him!

Sid, breakfast's ready.

I got him!

Tommy!

Oh, for goodness sake.

Tommy, get up.

You'll be late
for school.

Oh, I�m up, mom.

You're not taking that
in the house.

- Gotta show mom.
- Bad enough killing it.

What you got there,
Sid?

It's the one that's been
killing the chickens.

Well, skin it now,
but hurry up.

Your breakfast
will get cold.

- I got him, dad!
- See you clean that rifle.

- And I only used one shot.
- You heard me.

Morning, Sally.
- Morning, Mrs. O'Brien.

Bit nippy this morning.

- Was the hot water okay?
- Just fine.

Two or three
sausages?

Oh, look,
I�m gonna be late.

Tea and toast
will be fine, thanks.

Can't start the day
on an empty stomach.
Sid, hurry up.

Now, you're not going
to school like that, I hope.

- All right, mom.
- He got the fox!

There's a clean shirt
in the ironing basket.

- Bloody thing
got three chicks.
- I told you before.

Well, it did.

Sid skinned it
to take it to school.

Stop teasing, you two.

Miss Jones has enough
funny smells around that
schoolhouse as it is.

Eric brought
an opossum to school
for the science table.

And cripes,
was that on the bugle.

You could smell it
all the way

from here to Saturday,
eh, miss?

It's not the smell, Tommy.
The opossum was already dead.

He didn't shoot it.

And he didn't stay up
three nights in a row

so he's falling asleep
in class.

Oh, well,

foxes don't wait
till after school, do they?

Never mind.

Holidays coming up soon.

Bet you'll be glad.
Going away, are you?

Oh, wouldn't have your job
for anything.

Bet I could shoot
as well as Sid

when dad lets me
use his gun.

- Bet I can, miss.
No, you can't.

Bet I can.

- Gotcha!
- You missed.

No, I didn't.

Oh, gross.
Yuck!

Tommy.

You always spit
on a dead animal
for luck.

Come away from that thing.
Stop dawdling.

No running until
we're past the pub.

You little cheat.
I'll belt you.

Last one through the gate's
a pig's bum.

Hey, wait for me!

Got you now,
you little cheater.

Bye, dad.

You just watch it,
Richard!

That's a good kick.

I'm the king
of the castle!

You're a dirty rascal!

Come on, Leanne!

One, two, three.
One, two, three.

Piggy on the railway
picking up stones.

Along came a train
and broke piggy's bones.

"Hey," said piggy.
"That's not fair."

Tommy. Tommy.

It's your turn,
Tommy.

"Pooh," said the engine driver.
"I don't care."

Oh, great kick.
Straight to him.

...the dirty rascal!

- Derek, it'll stunt
your growth.
- Shut up!

My dad says so.

- I'll tell.
- You do and I�ll bash you.

Miss Jones, Derek gave me
an indian burn.

- Ooh.
- He's not really hurt.

He's just
putting you on.

What a creep, Toby.

Derek Atchenson.

It's the same thing
every morning, isn't it?

Does it make you feel good
to make little ones cry?

Come on.

Only two more weeks.

Mom said he couldn't stay up
three nights in a row,

and dad said someone
had to get that fox.

And Sid stayed up
all night.

Derek, is there
any possible reason

why we have to go through
this ritual every morning?

Possible reason.

And Sid shot the fox.
Blam!

- Blasted his stupid guts...
- Tommy, for your information,

and yours, Sid...

for your information,
Sid and Tommy,

animals are not
put on this earth

expressly to be
mutilated and spat on

by capricious young boys.

- What's capricious, miss?
- I know.

It's a kind of pizza
with black olives
and chopped meat.

Oh, gross.

Sounds like
Kenny�s face.

Leanne,
where's your SRA card?

Your SRA card.

Tommy O'Brien,
go to the back
of the class. Now!

Sue, have you
finished the name slips
for the science table?

Yes, miss.
- Well, put them
on the table.

Sarah, have you and Toby
finished coloring
your Australia?

- Can I use the sticky tape?
- Yes. Be careful
with the scissors.

- Derek keeps stabbing me
with his ruler.
- Liar! I do not.

Miss Jones!
- What?!

- There's Mac
the Mouse, miss.
- Fascinating, Tommy,

- but we're not
having news this morning.
- I really see him.

It's "saw him,"
and will you get back
to the corner?

But he's out there.
I seen him creep past
the window.

Will you all get back
to your seats this minute?!

Miss Jones,

there's Pussy Cat
and Mac the Mouse

and another animal
out there.

They're hiding,
but I saw them.

So did I.
I really did.

I wasn't fooling.
Sue saw them too.

Shh!
Sit down all of you.

She's always telling us
what to do.

I'll be glad
when she's gone.

I hope we get
a new teacher...

I realize we only have
a fortnight to go,

but before we all
chuck off our shoes

and do what we like,
we should remember

the school inspector
is coming next week.

And until
he leaves,

we will continue
with our work.

Thank you.

That's better.

Derek,
lock the front door quickly.

But...

lock the door!

Toby's out there.

He went to the toilet,
remember?

Children, I want you all
to stay where you are.

No one is to move.

There are guns,
and no one must get hurt.

Just sit quietly,
and do as I say.

What do
you people want?

We're going
on a picnic.

Are we, miss?

I think we are,
Toby.

Get 'em into the van.

All of 'em.

And be bloody quick
about it!

Move!

Quick, sit down.

Richard,
sit in your seat.

All right,
children,

please listen
carefully.

We have to go
with these men.

Don't be afraid.

I'm sure they mean
no harm.

Stand up,
go quietly to the porch,

and pick up your cases.

Now!

I going to get
the first aid kit.

Come on.

Move.
Move.

- But I haven't got my case.
- I don't care! Get in!

Leanne!

Put her in the van
with the others.

Get in there, girlie.

- Leave it.
- If I don't answer it...

just leave it!
Come on, get in
the bloody van. Move!

We did it!

Yahoo!

Two, maybe three
phone calls.

One, one, one.
Eh?

I'll bet one phone call.

With nine kids,
they won't stall.

The money will come floating
from the bloody sky.

Shut up!

Hold on to the little ones.

Are you all right?

- Children, let's have a song.
- Shut up!

Yes, Sue?

I want to be excused,
miss.

Does anybody else
have to go?

Will we be
stopping soon?

Excuse me.
I'm speaking to you.

The children
are uncomfortable.

They need to go
to the toilet.

They probably need a drink
and something to eat.

I'll wet myself
if we don't stop, miss.

Don't worry, Sue.
If you wet yourself,
I�m sure father...

shut up.

Right,
everybody out.

Girls over there.
Boys over there.

Hey, I reckon the teacher
would be good for a gang bang.

Tommy, go.
Hide nearby.

When we've gone,
go for your life.

Get to a house,
use the telephone.

Break in
if you have to.

- I'll go.
- No, I�m going.

Don't argue now.

For christ's sake,
Derek.

Has everyone finished?

Yes, miss.

Whose is this?

Mine, miss.

It's all right, Toby.
Don't worry.

Here you go.

Tommy's making
a run for it.

Pass the word
not to say anything.

Hurry up, Leanne.

I'm gonna have you
before this is over.

Come on,
sweetheart.

Piggy on the railway
picking up stones.

Along came a train
and broke piggy's bones.

"Hey," said piggy.
"That's not fair."

"Pooh," said the engine driver.
"I don't care."

That's Tommy's line...

stop!

Stop the van!

Back up!

Out!

- You have 10 seconds
to get that kid back

Or I�m gonna kill
this one!

One...

- two...
- Tommy!

...three...

Tommy!

...four...

- Tommy, come back!
...five...

- it's no good, Tommy.
They know.
...six...

- please come back, Tommy!
...seven...

eight...

I�m sorry, Tommy.
I had to.

The man's got a gun
on Toby.

Come on!

Watch it.

Where are we, miss?

Right, follow me.
Come on.

Hurry up.

Come on.
Move it.

Let's go.
Come on.

Move out.
Come on.

Hurry up.

Move it, you.

- Where do you
reckon we are, miss?
- I don't know, Richard.

- I reckon we're headed
about north by...
- quiet!

Look, they're only kids.

Surely you can't expect...

you got no
bloody choice, lady.

Now move!

I think, children,
we're going to have
an adventure.

Are we at the picnic
now, miss?

Sid and Derek,

you two climb down
and see what it's like.

Doesn't look
too bad, miss.

I reckon if we just
slide down it,

we'll be okay.

Come on, Derek.

For once just do
as you're asked.

It's okay, miss.

It slides down
for a few feet...

come on.
Come on.

Right, kindergarten,
first and second classes,
line up.

You're to let
your cases down first,
then go after them.

- Who's going to go first?
- Oh, me, miss.

I'm sure you are, Tommy,

but Leanne go first,
then you.

Go on.
Give your hand.

Don't!

Here you go,
darling.

Come on.

You're gonna love this.

Wait, Tommy,
let Narelle go next.

- But you said...
- don't argue.

Just let Narelle
go next.

Is it very dirty?

Oh, for goodness sake,
just go.

It's a piece of cake.

I'm hungry.

You can't be.

You've just had breakfast,
Richard.

That was hours ago.

I'll say
when it's lunchtime.

Come on, Sarah,
I�ll hold you.

Let fern down first.

Ready?

Come on, Toby.
Be a big boy.

You'll come,
won't ya?

Course I will.

Ready, steady, go.

I can manage,
thank you.

- All right?
- What are they gonna
do with us, miss?

I expect they'll ask
a ransom for us.

And then the police
will catch them,

and we'll all be home
very soon.

And the cops will kick
their bloody teeth in.

If I had dad's gun,
I�d blow their stupid guts out.

- Enough, Tommy.
What's a ransom?

You don't know?
Geez, you're dumb.

No, she's not.
She's a very brave girl.

You're all very brave
and I�m proud of you,

but let's not fight.

I reckon we can
climb out of here.

You don't think
they'll leave it unguarded.

Tommy O'Brien,
get down from there.

- Aww, miss.
- What if you should fall?

Get down. Now.

- I'm not allowed
to do anything.

Oh, Toby,
please be quiet.

Is that all
they're gonna do, miss?
Just ask for ransom?

Of course it is.

What else could they do?

Come on, Toby.

We're gonna have
our lunch now,

and you're gonna make
the sandwiches all soggy.

Now take out
your lunches,

but you're to only eat
one thing.

Aww, miss,
I�m starving.

Yeah, miss.

I could eat
10 million sandwiches.

Well, I�m sorry
to hear that.

If we get back...

when we get back,
I�ll shout everyone

a hamburger
at Koolburra.

Yay!

I want a double bacon
and egg burger.

I want
a pizza capricious.

Settle down,

and remember to eat
just one thing.

We've got to make
our food last.

This is like that film
about those guys

in the lifeboat
on TV, miss.

They were only allowed
one sip of water a day.

Now we need a fire,
eh, miss?

That would be nice,

but we don't have
any matches.

Yeah, too bad
nobody here smokes.

Maybe we could rub
two sticks together.

Maybe we could rub
Derek's legs together.

We want to make fire,
not butter.

Doesn't matter anyway.

There's nothing to burn
in here.

If it will make you
feel any better, Sue,

I forgot my lunch too.

Here, miss,
have some of mine.

Oh, mom's given me tomato.

There you go.

Do you like tomato sandwiches,
miss Jones?

Listen, everybody take the hand
of the person...

stop it!
Will you stop it?!

Yay, Derek.

We need something
to burn.

Paper.

Quick.
Give it to me.

Wad it up good.

It'll burn longer
that way.

Okay, we're going to be
all right now

because the rock
means something.

Can anyone guess?

It means
they've gone away, miss.

Good, Narelle.

They wouldn't just put
the rock there

for exercise,
would they?

I want you
to arrange your cases

and put the food
away safely,

then come and sit
in the circle.

We're gonna have
a council of war.

Come on.
Quickly.

Okay, kids.

We must start
to use our brains.

What is the first thing
we should do?

Narelle?

Well, I�m gonna climb up and see
if I can shift the boulder.

- I'll help you, miss.
- Me too.

Thanks, Tommy,
but there's only room

for three, and I think
Derek has more bulk.

We don't know how long
those men are gonna be away,
so we better get started.

Yeah, let's shift
that sucker.

What do they think
we are, a bunch of kids?

Ready, set, push.

Push.

Push.

It's no use, miss.
We can't do it.

Oh, god.

Oh, miss,
I�m thirsty.

Will someone
give Derek a drink?

Anyone else who needs it
can have one too.

He can have some of mine.

Ah, geez, Narelle.

This isn't drink.
It tastes oily.

I've given him
my salad dressing, miss.

Must have got
the wrong bottle.

Tricked you, Derek.
Good one, Narelle.

You'd better not
try that again, Narelle.

Sorry.

Does anyone have
a small jar or tin?

Will this do?
I've got a can.

What about string?

Shoelace.
Give me a shoelace.

What are you gonna do,
miss?

A lamp.
You're gonna make a lamp.

- Like our project
on Eskimos, right, miss?
- Will it work, miss?

I don't know.
It's certainly worth a try.

Derek.

Ooh.

Oh, why did it go out?

Is it gonna work?
I want to go home.

Good. Go!

Shut up, Toby.

Miss, tell him
to shut up.

Ahh.

She's a goer.

Beauty, miss.

Now we've got
a light.

See, Toby.

Careful.

Hey, the smoke's
going out through here.

- There must be another way out.
- It's probably just a draft.

- Let's have a look.
- No, it's too dangerous.

What if someone
were to fall?

We don't know what's
through there.

- We must stay here.
- We can't just sit here.

We've gotta do something
while they're still gone.

No, Tommy.
I can't risk it.

You must think
of the littler ones.

I thought this was
a council of war, miss.

- Who said they had a can?
- Oh, here, miss.

Good. We'll make it
into a lamp as I�ve done
with the other one.

And when he's finished,

Sid and I are going to do
a bit of exploring.

Oh, no, miss.

Goody, miss.
Don't go.

I'll go.

No, you won't.
You went last time.

Quiet, you two.
You're not to worry.

Derek and Narelle
will be good guards,

and Sid and I
won't be very far away.

Here, miss.

I reckon
we should take this one.

See how it leads down
along the damp line?

Well, when you get lost
in the bush,

you always follow
a stream downhill.

I'm sure it'd be
the same underground.

That'll just
take us deeper.

We're on a mountain,
though.

Maybe you better lead.

Derek, do it properly.

Hold on, miss.

- We can't climb up there.
I could.

You probably could,
but what about me?

I could go along
and get help.

What if you got killed
or something?

No, I can't allow it, Sid.
It's much too high.

Maybe there's some
better holes further on.

- Tommy's right.
- Pardon?

Nothing.

Which way now?

Listen! Water.

- What?
- Water. Listen.

Look, miss.
I can see it.

The water must come out
somewhere, mustn't it, miss?

Look.

That must be daylight.

We found it.
We're out.

You stay here, Sid.

I'm going through.

But that water
would be freezing.

I practice in the shower
every morning.

Shit, I thought
you'd snuffed it.

Language, Sid.

Well, what
did you find?

There's a way out.

I knew it!

- How many shoelaces
we got left?
- Two.

How many
did we start with?

I don't remember.

That's it, miss.

What do we do now?

Piggy on the roadside
eating dead cat.

Along came a truck
and squashed piggy flat.

Along came the sun
and baked him like clay.

Along came the wind
and blew him all away.

Rat spit, cat tip.

Give it back.

Derek, leave her alone.

- Sarah, come and sit down.
No.

Sid, I�ll have to ask
for your shirt.

- I'd use mine,
but it's too damp.
- Not my clean one.

- Mom'll freak.
- Come on.

Give me it.

Derek,
leave them alone!

Listen.

Derek!

Be quiet!
Be quiet.

- Who's there?
It's only us.

Miss,
Derek took my lamp.
I did not!

Did you find a way out?

What on earth
have you been up to?

We found a way out.

We're all going
to leave here,

- but we have to
cross a stream.
- How deep, miss?

I don't know.
It doesn't matter.

- Hands up,
those who can swim.
Toby can't swim.

- Can so.
- Cannot.

All right,
all right.

- Who has the shoelaces?
- Here they are, miss.

You and Sid
get the lamps going.

You're gonna need oil
and more of Sid's shirt.

Okay, get your
things together.

Can you take this?

Thanks.

I don't think
it's big enough.

Oh, go on, Derek.

- If I can, you can.
- I'll get stuck.

I'll push.

- Sid, there are rocks
falling in here!

Quick.
Give me your lamp.

Quickly!

Quick, go on.
Through there.

And keep ahold
of one another.

Sue, collect all the food
and put it in one of the cases.

The rest of you,
take off your clothes

and put them
into your bags.

Try and keep them
as dry as possible.

I'll take
the matches, miss.

Mom makes
the driest sandwiches

this side
of the Simpson Desert.

Those kidnappers are so gonna
get a surprise, eh, miss?

I should think
they will, Richard.

I'll take
the little ones first.

Over here, Toby.

Sit on the ledge,
and I�ll lift you in.

Are we going home now,
miss?

Yes, Toby, that's
exactly where we're going,
and this is the way.

- Do you like swimming?
- It's a bit cold.

Don't worry, all right?

Here we go.

Toby, can you hold
your breath for me?

- Yes.
- Let me see.

Very good.
Excellent.

Now we're gonna play
a little game.

When I say, I want you
to hold your breath

and close your eyes tightly,
see if you can

keep them that way
until I tell you to open them.

Okay?
Very good.

Ready, steady, go.

Now.

Good boy, Toby.

Good boy.

Try and dry off
as much as possible.

I'll be right back,
okay, Toby?

- Toby?
- Okay, miss.

Good boy.

Okay, Toby's through,
and he's got a message for you.

He says it's easy squeezy.

So who's next?

Sarah?

Not too tight.
I've got you.

Okay, same as Toby.

Where's miss?

Don't know.

You stay here
and get warm.

Tommy and me will
bring the others through.

Wait, I�ve gotta...

you don't gotta
do nothing.

I can do it,
and you can't.

Tommy and me
are great swimmers,

and we're used to the
cold.

So you just leave it
up to us, okay?

Here.
Take my hand.

It's all right,
Sarah.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Come on.

I don't like
going underwater.

Can't you swim?

I'll help you.

Oh, that's better.

- Oh, miss, look at that.
- Shh!

Oh, look.
Over there.

Can we light
a fire now, miss?

Yeah, that's
a good idea, miss.

Did you keep
the matches dry?

The matches are okay,

but I don't think
we should start a fire yet.

Sid's right. Those men
might still be around.

I don't think
we should risk it.

Now, come on.
Let's move over there.

Oh, we're missing
"Gilligan�s Island."

Naw, I seen this "kojak" once
where the robbers

picked up the ransom money
on this really fast motorcycle.

My dad's got a motorcycle.

He could borrow it
to the cops.

No, the kidnappers
used the motorcycle,
not the cops.

Yeah, but the cops
have got helicopters

with infrared and lasers.

I bet they're looking for us
all over the place, eh, miss?

I should say at least 10

not counting the ones
without infrared.

But how will they know
where to look?

We must be miles away
from the school.

We could always
soak Derek in salad oil

- and use him for a beacon.
- Oh, shut up.

Let's have
something to eat.

Are the sandwiches
all right?

What kind
do you want, miss?

There's peanut butter
and banana,

but they're
a bit squishy.

You kids
help yourselves.

And don't eat
too fast.

Eh?

He said I should climb up
and take a look around.

Maybe I can see
a house or something.

Yeah, good idea,
but I think I�d better go.

Geez.

Sidney.

Everyone try
and get some rest.

Go to sleep
if you can.

I won't be too long.

Sid,
you're in charge.

There's a house
a couple of miles away.

This is like
that film on TV.

Don't you do anything
but watch TV?

Of course I do.
Doesn't sound like it.

Everything's like
something you've seen.

Sarah, you're getting heavy.

- How much further, miss?
- I don't know. Not far.

- We'll be having
something to eat soon.
- I could eat a whole bullock.

I could eat
the whole world.

- I could eat the whole
bloody universe.

I wonder what they'll do
when they find out
we got away.

I hope
they go berserk.

- We beat them, didn't we?
- Yeah, now they won't
get their ransom.

You said it was only
a couple of miles.

We'll just have to walk
some more until we
get there, Derek.

- I wish my daddy was here.
If we'd stayed
in the cave,

we'd probably be
getting something
to eat right now.

Whinge,
whinge, whinge.

- But miss said that...
- I made a mistake, Derek.

Teachers can
make mistakes too.

I'm sorry,
but I�m doing my best.

Yeah, shut your neck,
Derek.

I saw a man upon a stair,

but when I looked
he wasn't there.

How about a big dinner
with baked potatoes?

And gravy.

I love baked buds.

My mum makes them
all crispy and yummy
on the outside.

My mom does too

with roast pumpkin
and carrots.

My favorite dinner
is lemon chiffon.

That's not a proper dinner,
stupid.

A dinner's the part
with the meat and stuff.

Lemon chiffon is part
of a dinner.

There, smarty.
Narelle said.

I smell roast lamb.

Hey, we're nearly there.

Goodie!

Rippah.

Won't be long now.

Come on, Toby.
It's not long now.

Nearly over.

Good evening.

My name is Sally Jones.

I'm the teacher
from sunny flat.

These are the children
from my school.

Some men tried
to kidnap us and...

may I use your phone?

Phone.

May I use
your telephone?

Oh.

Sorry, dear.

Shut up!

Where do you think
you're going, towhead?

Get out
of the car, boy!

Oww.

Hey.

Come here.

You bastard!

Oh, I wish
you'd try it.

Go on, run.

Run. Run.

Hey, what do you think
you're doing?

Sid, it's all right.

Look, I wonder
if we could have
something to eat.

The children are
so hungry and tired.

Your dinner's back
at the bloody cave.

We were bringing it to you
before yous pissed off.

So now yous can
bloody well go without.

Well, what are you
gonna do with us now?

We're gonna have to take
the old buggers with us, Jim.

I told you,
no bloody names!

Sorry.

What are we gonna do
with them?

That dinner
you were serving up,
dish out four places, granny.

You got anything
to drink, digger?

Not much.

Just a bit of sherry.

Perfect.

Get it.

Hope she gives us
lots of spuds.

I don't think
the food's for us,
rich.

It's okay.
There's no windows,

and the double doors
bolt from the outside.

Right.

Well, get them all
out there into it.

But it's cold.
My husband's not well.

You mustn't put him
out there.

- Please...
- shut up!

You mongrel!

Out! Out! Out!

Move! Out!

Come on, move!

Move!
Bloody move!

Out!

Move, move, move!
Hurry!

Move! Go!

Get in the barn!
Run!

Get in there.
Hurry up!

Come here, you silly
old bitch.

Come here
when I tell ya!

Did they shoot
the old lady, miss?

I don't know.

Miss, will the man
get better?

No, he won't
get better.

Shut up!

I'm sorry, Toby.

It's all right.

Miss, I�m cold.

Yes, Leanne,
we all are.

Come on, Sarah.

Narelle,
take Leanne and Sue.

We could start
a fire now, miss.

Yes, yes.

I seen this
"hill street blues"

and the cop said
as long as the bad guys

had got their masks on,
you're all right.

Yeah, they could
just go away,

and we wouldn't
even know who they were.

Oh, let me, Narelle.

With that much straw,
the flames would reach the roof.

I want out!
It's all gone wrong.

Yeah, whose idea was it
to blast a kid an hour?

Sid,
light the fire.

The whole thing's
turned into a bloody nightmare.

- I'm splitting!
No, you're not!

Are they gonna
kill us, miss?

Kill each other
by the sound of it.

- I seen this...
- quiet!

Miss, do you think

they're gonna kill
one of us every hour,
like they said?

I don't know,
Leanne.

I don't think they meant
to kill the old man.

It's made things
different.

But if they kill us,
then they won't

get their money,
will they?

If we're dead, then...

Oh, miss, don't cry.

Please don't cry.

Don't worry.

I'm all right now.
I'm all right.

Looks like two of them
have driven away,

but I can't see
who's left behind.

Miss.

Yes, Sid?

Do you know
how to catch a rabbit?

No, Sid.

Well, it's funny

because you come up at him
from the front.

Head on.

See, rabbits can't look
straight ahead,

so you come up at him
from his blind spot,

which is head on.

And do you think
we could catch a rabbit?

Remember, if it's
Father Christmas,

we don't go through
with it.

Understand?

Sid,
do you understand?

Now, are we ready?

You must be cold.

Why don't you
warm yourself a bit?

Come on, children.

Scrunch over
and make some room.

All right, children.

What should we
sing now?

...and eats the jelly
between your toes.

- I'm tired, miss.
- Me too.

All right, then,
go over there

a little out of the firelight
and have a rest.

Anyone else?

I've got some
chocolate biscuits, sir.

Would you like one?

- Is that a real gun, mister?
- Of course it is, silly.

Gosh.

Don't you get scared
that it might go off?

Nah.

You gotta let that up
before it shoots.

I hope you don't
let it up.

Have you ever
killed anyone with it?

Wow, I�ve never seen one
cut down like that before.

Bet you could rob
a bank with that.

Ooh, yes,

and get lots
and lots of money.

Okay, kids, are you
ready for a lullaby?

Yes, miss.

Sit up straight, then.

He shot Tommy!

Tommy's dead!
Tommy's dead!

Tommy!

Oh, god,
what have I done?
Will you get back?!

He's not dead.
He's hurt.

But if you don't
get back,

I won't be able to see
how badly.

It'll be all right, tom.

Don't worry.

You'll be okay.

Sue, get the bag.

Tommy?

Can you hear me,
Tommy?

Good girl.

Sid, Derek,
go the house.

Grab any food you can.

Bandages,
antiseptic.

Quickly.

Don't spend
longer than two minutes
in the house.

If you hear the van,
grab what you can and run.

Narelle,
help me with Tommy.

What about
the phone, Sally?

They'll have cut it.

Don't waste time
with that.

Sue, Leanne,
put out the fire.

Children, this way.

They're after us.

Are ya there?

Oh, god.

What's the matter?

It's all right.

It's just Sid
and Derek.

You had us worried there
for a minute.

All right?

Where are we going,
miss?

I don't know.
Just keep walking.

Come on, kids.

You'll keep warm
if you move quickly.

We should have taken
the car.

I don't think so.

On foot, we're just
as good as they are.

We can spread out.

Look, miss.

Oh, we did
put out the fire, miss.

It doesn't matter,
Sue.

I thought I saw a man.

They've come back.

Come on. Toby.

Miss Jones,

I want to be excused.

Anyone else needs to go
to the toilet, go now.

Quickly.

Don't you need
to go, Toby?

Can I sit by you?

Of course you can,
silly.

There's something here
in the bushes!

Where are you?
Sue?

Give me a cooee.

Cooee!

He'll get her.

Cooee!

Stand still, Sue.

Probably only
a wombat.

Where are you, Sue?

Sue, where are you?

You're okay now.

There you go.

Come on, Sue.
It's all right.

Blow your nose.
There's a good girl.

I haven't got
a hankie.

Who's got a hankie
for Sue?

Well done.

Tommy?

Oh, thank god.

How's he doing?

He's not bleeding
so much now.

Tommy?

It hurts, miss.

- Is it bad?
- Pretty.

I'm going to pick
you up now.

It'll probably hurt,

and I don't want you
to be brave.

If I hurt you,
you yell out

and I�ll know
to be more gentle.

All right?
Here we go, then.

You're okay now.

Miss,
did we get him?

Bloody yes.

You're hardly hurt at all
compared to Dabby Duck
and pussy.

You're doing twice as well
as they are.

Pass me the gun,
Sid.

Maybe you better
take it.

- Was it a wombat?
- Don't know.

Come on.

We should have stayed
in the barn, miss.

The police would have
found us.

They would not.

We would have been
getting shot right now.

One every hour,
they said.

Shut up, Derek.

They don't shoot kids.
Not really.

Please don't quarrel,
children.

I know you're tired...

Goodness sake,
what is it?!

Miss, I think
it's Richard.

He's fallen down somewhere,
and I can't find him.

Richard,
where are you?

Richard?

I'm down here, miss.

I feel down a hole
and hurt my legs.

It's all right, rich.
Here, come on, take my hand.

It's probably
twisted a little.

Can you put
your weight down?

Miss, I found
a real good cave.

Oh, Sid,
I would have thought

you'd have had
enough of caves.

Here, Toby.

Put this over there.

Look what I got.

I love chocolate biscuits.

We just grabbed stuff.

There wasn't time
to look properly.

Sid and Derek,

I could kiss you both.
You didn't happen
to bring

the kitchen sink,
did you?

Couldn't, miss.
It was all bolted down.

- How about a can opener?
- This do?

I should think that
will more than suffice.
Thank you, Sid.

Now, what does everyone
say to a hot dinner
in our new home?

- You bet, miss.
- You might need this.

Sorry.

Nearly through.

Come on,
stiff upper lip.

You're a right one,
Tommy.

Why didn't you dodge
the bullets?

I was too busy.

Too busy talking.

What is it, Derek?

I heard something.

I think
it was the van.

I can't hear anything,
Derek.

What on earth were you
doing out here anyway?

Standing guard, miss.

Wake me at 4:00.

I'll take over.

Shit,
how'd they find us?

Are they there,
miss?

We're gonna have
a party tonight, bitch!

Father Christmas
will be back then!

He fancies the young one
with the big tits!

So don't go away.

We have to run.
We got away before.

No, I�ve done
too many wrong
things already.

It was our running
that got the old
couple killed

and Tommy shot
and Sarah nearly drowned.

No, this time
we're gonna stay put.

If we don't put up
any resistance,

we might be all right.

But you heard what they said
about you and Narelle.

Filthy
slime-sucking animals!

You deserve to die!

If I was god,
I�d kill ya.

Frightening little kids
and threatening girls

with, with...

Miss, it's not fair.

It's not fair.

We'll show them fair!

Sid and Derek
are right.

We've got to fight them.
We outnumber them
four to one.

- Beauty, miss!
- We have to let them
know what it's like

to be frightened.

Miss says we're
gonna get 'em now
and she's real angry.

- How?
- I don't know yet,

but we're going to do it.

I don't suppose you boys
have any bright ideas.

That's what he'll look like
when we're finished with him!

Now we're gonna find
some sticks.

They must be tough
and long.

We're going to need
lots of lovely, sharp spears.

What for, miss?

To tickle them with.

I'm the king
of the castle.

We'll get those
dirty rascals.

We'll get the dirty rascals.
We'll get the dirty rascals.

That's a terrific
spear, Derek.

Thank you.
I think I should
do all the spears.

Yes, I think
you should.

Do mine real sharp,
Derek.

Make mine a beauty.

I want mine to kill him,
to spear him right
in the heart.

What d'ya reckon,
Tommy?

Nice.

Rock, rich.

Brilliant.

Pass it up.
Good boy.

The traps
are nearly ready, miss.

Good.

Better be careful
out there.

Santa's the one
to be careful.

What is it, Narelle?

Well?

It's the curse, miss.

I've got it.

And I don't have any,
you know, things.

Don't worry. I'm sure
we can find something.

I'm so scared, miss.

I'm so scared
of what they're gonna do.

Narelle?

Have you seen
Narelle?

She's not here.

I can see that.

Well, I thought
she'd just gone
to the toilet,

but she never
came back.

How long has she
been gone?

Quite a while.

Sid, did you see Narelle
come out a while ago?

No.

Narelle?

Narelle,
where are you?

Oh, god.

No.

Narelle?

Narelle, where are you?

Don't worry, miss.

I'll find her for you.

Ow.

I can hear you,
Narelle.

Stay where you are.

Narelle!

I can hear you,
Narelle.

Stay where you are.

I'm getting closer.

Don't run away.

Come on, baby!

Narelle?

Narelle,
where are you?

I've got you now,
Narelle.

Sally!

Yes, I�m coming, Sid.

Coming.

Oh, it's you, miss.

I'm coming, miss.
I'm coming.

Show us
your tits, miss.

What's she doing?

He's just about
got her.

Damn it.

No, wait.
It's a trick.

Miss said to stay.

Sid, help me!

Richard,
take the lilies up there.

Don't do anything.

I'll get you,
you slut.

You little...

Help miss.
We've gotta help miss.

Don't.
Sid said.

We'll give him
a fright.

Get him, miss.

Kick him!

Sally,
over this way!

Look out!

Come here, bitch!

Sally, watch out
for the moat!

Sally?

Help me, Sid.

Are you okay, miss?

Get back.

Let her breathe.

Miss,
where's Narelle?

I don't know.

We got one, tom.

Sally pushed him
onto the stakes.

He's a goner.
Dead as a doornail.

Beauty, mate.

- One.
- We killed him!

We got him!

Stop it!

We must be quiet.

There's one left.

It's Father Christmas.

It won't be easy,
but we've got to get him.

Come on, now.

Sonny?

Sonny!

Sonny.

Sonny?!

Jesus Christ.

Bitch!

"Grendel's talon,
huge, with claws like iron,

was fastened to the gable.

A trophy
of the warrior's courage."

Is that the end, Sally?

If you stopped interrupting,
Tommy O'Brien,

you would find
that it was not.

Hey, that's like us.
We've got a trophy too.

Shut up, Leanne.
I want to hear...

- be quiet.
- Go on, Sally.

"The men gathered
and marveled at
the great limb.

Beowulf had torn it
from the monster's shoulder,

ripping the sinews.

Now it hung
in the morning air

for all the men
to wonder at."

- Afternoon, children.
- Miss Jones.

Good afternoon,
Mr. Cotter.

Miss Jones, this is
Detective Sergeant Mitchell

from pathology
in Melbourne.

He has a few questions
if you don't mind.

- I suppose it's about
the kidnapping.
- Yes, miss.

Perhaps there's someplace
we might go.

I think here will do.

There's no reason to hide
anything from the children.

We've found
the other body, miss.

Oh, really?

Well, I suppose
his family will be interested,

but it's really
of no concern to us anymore.

Yes, well,
there are some anomalies.

Indeed?

Yes, certain things
that don't tie in

with your statement.

I do wish there was
someplace we could go.

Oh, all right.

Narelle,
you take over.

Now what can I do
for you?

Sally, I don't want
to stir this up again,

but the body has, shall we say,
certain injuries on it

that don't tie in
with your statement.

- Oh?
- Miss Jones,
are you certain

you don't want
to add anything

now that the body's
been found?

Perhaps you could be
more precise.

I'll have to blunt then,
I see.

Do be blunt,
detective sergeant.

The body seems
to have been mutilated.

Unfortunately,
because of the state it...

well, what I�m trying
to say is,

although there's no hard
and fast evidence,

it's been suggested,
miss Jones,

that animals alone couldn't
have been responsible

for some of the injuries.

Without hard and fast evidence,
as you put it,

I can't help you.

You move very quietly,
Sid.

I'm sure you're all
a great credit to miss Jones,

but our enquiries...

These children
have been through

rather a lot.

They're not quite themselves
and should be left alone.

- Really, I think...
- they need rest.

Not more questions.

Sally,
to wantonly dismember...

- arrest us, then.
- I haven't come to arrest...

then go away.

Yes, I think you're right.

We'll let you all
get rested then and...

well, who knows?

Maybe we ought to tie up
the loose ends ourselves.

Good.

One, two, three,
one, two, three,

one, two, three,

one, two, three.

Very funny, Tommy.

You're gonna get it.

Now, let me see
who's the best.

You all are!

Everybody has
an early mark.

Off you go, then.

Care to play footie, Sid?

Last one home's
a pig's bum.

Thanks, Nurelle.

Piggy on the roadside
eating dead cat.

Along came a train
and squashed piggy flat.

Sid, thought you'd have
gone with the others.

Oh, they're only kids.

Well, let's go.

You'll be leaving
school soon, I suppose.

Oh, you bet.
