Not one of them.
Are you travelling on a Swiss passport? GJ's a Swiss national.
How are your knees? Pardon? You will go down hard.
Bang.
The search will bring you low.
To the ground.
On your two knees.
That's right.
No one likes it.
Face in the dirt.
- Hi.
- Turangi: Hey.
Steve.
He asked if you could give him a call the minute you came in.
Where were you? We were expecting you home last night.
Robin: Hi, it's me.
Steve: When are you coming home? Hi, mum.
Where's your commitment, Robin? It's getting ridiculous.
Come on, Steve.
She's a 12-year-old girl.
What do you expect me to do? (Steve sighs) I don't like what's happening to you.
(sighs) So how long have I got? Not long.
- I don't deserve you.
- Come on.
No, I mean it.
I've gotta go.
Why don't you just marry him? Yeah, why don't I? (sighs) I'm hoping he'll find someone better.
Do you love him? I don't know.
Oh, fuck.
I never got to the doctor's appointment.
Shit, it was yesterday, right? Mum, what happened? No more chemo.
That's good.
Isn't it? Isn't it? Yeah, it is good.
I don't have to put any more poison through this body.
Well, what did he say? There's more here and there's more here.
And it's not going away.
That's it.
Do you want a cup of tea? (people talking indistinctly) (Johnno talking indistinctly) (tap running) (door opens) (sighs) Get out of the way.
Move away.
Move.

Let's go.

Don't worry about it.
You just do the searching, okay? Pull over, please.
(coughs) Nothing to do with me, is it? No.
Mitcham loves to find people's soft spots and poke them.
The only person who ever had it over him was his mother.
She used to flog him with his father's belt.
Bloody horrible woman.
Terribly bitter.
What, are you two friends? No, no one's ever really friends with Matt.
Still, I'm close enough to regret it.
Afternoon.
Come on, what kind of handshake's that, huh? Sweaty.
We need to check through the house and all the sheds.
I'll do the sheds.
You go on in.
What the fuck's going on? You said you'd resist this.
Er, it wasn't possible, Matt.
(vehicle approaching) (indistinct talking) Sara: Just eats meat, drinks beer.
Eats meat, drinks beer.
Delia: A real man's man.
Sara: Yeah, well, maybe.
Matt: Hey.
If you want to use a toilet, you can use my own suite.
I saw two ladies leaving.
Must have been the cleaners.
I know.
Hopeless, aren't they? Your boss wants you.
(Al speaking indistinctly) Robin? Okay, we're on our way.
Bye.
Well, it looks like we've got our guy.
Wolfie's hung himself.
He left a suicide note.
What about Tui, Al? What's happened to her? (engine starts) Sarge: (singing) I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'cause for 24 years I've been living next door (grunts) to Alice Why did he put the panties on his head? - (police siren wailing) - Let's go.
Hey! Hey! What are you doing here? Get off the path.
He was helping me, Detective Sergeant.
- Right.
It's Sarge, isn't it? - Yeah.
Well, get off the path, now.
I fucking found him down on the tree.
You what? You found him, did you? Yeah.
On the tree with the fucking undies on his head.
- Is that right? - Yeah.
Okay, well, you're a suspect.
You're in a lot of trouble, son.
Howe, take him back to the car.
(stuttering) Oh, a suspect? What are you, Einstein? You're just gonna pick the first bloke who shows up? - Brilliant police work, that is.
- Hey! Howe: Come on, Paul.
Come on.
Paul: Fuckin' arsehole! Robin? (Robin reading) "I am sorry for what I done.
"I sorry to mother who must know I die happily in sleep.
" Died in his sleep.
Al: Howe! - When's the photographer coming? - He's on his way, sir.
Any sign of that girl? No.
(crickets chirping) Detective Sergeant.
He's got a pile of video equipment, sir.
- Any tapes? - Yeah, boxes of them.
Now, you're OCCS tonight, okay? Sir, I'll have nightmares.
No, you won't, you'll be awake.
Sausage on the Barbie, if you want.
There's no need for an ESR.
It's pretty clear it's a suicide.
Put those in the car, mate.
Al.
Tell me it's too small for her.
Pete, make a new perimeter, and call the ESR.
I want them here as soon as they can.
Tell the others it's a negative on removing the male body, okay? Don't cut him down.
Leave him up there.
- (gunshot) - Oi! (gunshot) (breathing heavily) There's a grave.
We have to wait for forensics.
(exhales) Have you got company? (exhales) No, not now.
- (keys clanking) - (Engine starts) (dogs barking) Tea? Wrapping paper.
Do we have any wrapping paper? - Hello? - Yep, right down the bottom.
(dogs barking) (gate bell rings) Dad, the girls are here.
Right.
Well, I want them to finish those trimmings.
There's a lamp just at the back.
Tell them that needs fixed.
And get them to clean those beakers out, okay? Dad, should I let them in? They'd better not fuck me about.
Haven't got time for it this morning.
Morning.
Matt: Narelle, do we have any sugar? Terry: Straight downstairs.
Delia: Morning.
Morning, Delia.
Yeah, she got hit by a fucking car.
She's in the hospital, mate.
Not doing too good, either.
He completely lost it.
He spent all the money.
The deal we had is if it's not paid for, it doesn't leave here.
'Cause otherwise what you're asking me is to trust you.
And all I can say to that is you must be fucking joking me.
Get the fucking money.
(machine whirring) (guitar playing) (car approaching) Hi.
I was wondering if you'd, uh, - Like these? - No! No! No, no, no, no.
So you want to come have dinner with me? Yeah, why not? (guitar playing) What's that, band practise? Oh, we have these meetings.
Everyone's welcome, you know.
You can come if you want to.
- Is she going to be there? - Maybe.
(sobbing) GJ: Why are these people closing their eyes? They're meditating, GJ.
Wake up! Matt: I've got a question.
Is there such a thing as the human mind? Human mind, wow.
Is someone speaking? What is the nature of the human mind? Plotting and scheming.
Planning and calculating.
That is the nature of mind.
Constant thought.
Recent research tells us that the universe is not infinite.
(clicks tongue) so what I want to know is Who's this guy? - Bunny: Matt Mitcham, the girl's father.
- Matt Mitcham.
What I want to know is, When you get to the edge of the universe, What's there, hmm? Don't know.
Not going there any time soon.
Ah.
What do you see? Ask something a little bit more personal.
This is personal.
My guess? Hmm.
You're not going to like it, mister.
(smacks lips) So what is it? What's beyond the void that's so frightening? What's so scary? A lost little girl.
Your girl, Mr Matt.
Your kid.
With a secret growing inside.
Would you call the photographer, please? Al: Where the bloody hell's Lee? Howe: They headed off towards the lake.
Al: What? Well, get him immediately.
Howe: Taking a piss, sir.
Al: I don't care what he's doing.
Get him here now.
Robin? All right, everyone.
Mic on? (camera clicking) ESR officer: Peeling back the bloodstained towel.
(camera clicking) (video camera whirring) Al: What the bloody hell is that? - Looks like an animal.
- Man: It's a dog.
(exhales) (camera clicking) Robin? Go get four of the guys and check the property for any further burials.
You can go, um, 100 metres beyond this boundary.
You still think he's done something? Well, his note said he's sorry for something and I'm sure it's not for euthanizing his dog.
Come on, Al.
Someone's obviously been harassing him.
Look at his house.
What do you expect? He was exposed.
No wonder he hung himself.
(mobile chimes) (mobile beeping) (knock on door) You might want to look at this.
Zanic's video.
(polka music playing in video) Hey.
Up.
Can I have it? Wolfgang: (on video) ja! Ja, that is so good.
(panting) Does Wolfie have a blue hoodie? Whoever shot this did.
Doesn't everyone have one? Well, darling haven't you changed? And I could shout but I've learned to use a level voice instead of following my heart out Have you got kids? I've got so many choices Can I be left alone, please? A memory (blowing bird call) (chuckles) (Tui laughing in video) Tui: (singing on video) well, darling haven't you changed? And I could shout but I've learned to use a level voice instead of following my heart out the angel says that it was meant was always meant to be a memory (knock on door) Uh, I've brought my Canadian.
You wanna go out on the lake? All right.
You know, Tui sings really well.
We should have brought the wine.
Be nice to have a glass out here.
Yeah, I don't drink.
What about the other night at the bar? No, that was a soft drink.
So you've no excuses.
So Are we going to do it again? It's complicated.
Don't you think? No.
Going to fish? Can't we do a bit more of the wrong thing before we do the right thing? - (indistinct talking) - (Robin laughing) I found a place.
There's this old teak opium house.
It's up near the Thai-Cambodian border.
And the rivers there run right down out of the mountains, And there are these small poppy plantations.
Scattered out there through the rainforest.
People there were really good to me.
But, after a time, I just became an addict.
Just a fucking arsehole.
I ran out of money.
I ran away.
They caught me trying to get across the border.
I got processed.
Ended up in this This hell hole.
Just concrete wall and floors, and a hole in the ground for the toilet.
Dad, He just said, "stuff you.
" How many years was it? It was eight.
The last few there were a lot easier.
My mum, she really stepped up.
She helped me pay for food, medicine.
I was able to study law.
Shocked? No.
What do you think? Johnno: You know, you were my first kiss.
Was I yours? Robin: First long kiss.
Can I do this properly? Like in bed? I don't know.
I don't wanna fall for you.
We can make it the last time.
Johnno: Do you have to work in the morning? - Why? - I want to go for coffee.
(breathing heavily) Robin: No.
No coffee.
I'm about to get married.
I don't want to fall in love.
Wear it.
(blues song playing) Here.
Hey, turn the music down.
Sara.
Mark: Turn the fucking music down.
- What is it? - (Music volume turning low) Oh, yeah.
- Fertiliser.
-Awesome.
I want some of that, eh.
It's methadrone, bro.
Here.
There you go.
Gives three to four hours' stimulus, Mild euphoria, enhanced appreciation of music, Some erotic overtones.
Who's this old fucker? Mate, that's Doctor Shulgin.
Berkeley, California legend, okay? He discovered and experimented with over 230 psychoactive drugs.
Living legend.
Good man.
Yeah, that's nice.
That's nice.
Where'd the shit come from? (clears throat) It's good.
You reckon the old man'll go for it, Marky? (machine whirring) Hey, just do a halvie ya, bro.
We'll be peeling you off the walls.
- Oh! - Terry: What'd I just say? - I'll be all right, mate.
- (Chuckles) No, you won't, bro.
(chuckles) No, you won't, bro.
(all laughing) This is really good.
(giggling) All: No! My first date in years.
Uh, this is not a date.
It's an apology.
If I wanted a date, I would have asked Bunny.
Okay, I'm I'm kind of confused.
So how did Bunny get in with that, uh.
- GJ? - GJ.
GJ, yeah.
Oh, they met in rehab.
Who was in rehab? GJ was in rehab? - No, no, no, she was visiting someone.
-Hmm.
And they got talking.
Bunny said, "you're the first person who's ever really spoken the truth.
"Wherever you want to go, wherever you want to be, "I'll pay for it.
" GJ said, "let's see if you really mean it.
" And she put her finger on the map (taps table) like that.
And now here we are, Paradise.
She put her finger on a map? Yeah.
Yeah.
Here we are.
How are you handling Paradise? - Beautiful.
- Yeah.
Got quite a history, you know.
No, I didn't know.
Adam and Eve, Garden of eden.
Hmm.
The coming of the serpent.
Serpent.
Wow.
Right.
No, not me.
(laughs) No, not you.
No, the first guy that moved in there killed his wife and kids.
Burned the house down.
Next family, The silence nearly drove them mad.
Thought they could hear the kids wailing through the walls.
One day, they just got up and left.
Is it really true? You should tell Bunny.
I bet you Bob Platt didn't.
Why don't you tell her yourself? Okay.
So how do I get a date with Bunny? I think it's time to go home.
To your place.
That's what I wanna do.
You have some of that, eh, you'll be fucked for work tomorrow.
Okay, don't talk to me unless you're going to keep to the present tense, okay? Don't want to hear about anything else.
(stuttering) just pisses me off.
Just say what's happening now, okay? Right now.
Whatever's happening now.
Anything else, just keep to yourself.
I don't wanna hear about it.

Put those in the car, mate.
Al.
Tell me it's too small for her.
Pete, make a new perimeter, and call the ESR.
I want them here as soon as they can.
Tell the others it's a negative on removing the male body, okay? Don't cut him down.
Leave him up there.
- (gunshot) - Oi! (gunshot) (breathing heavily) There's a grave.
We have to wait for forensics.
(exhales) Have you got company? (exhales) No, not now.
- (keys clanking) - (Engine starts) (dogs barking) Tea? Wrapping paper.
Do we have any wrapping paper? - Hello? - Yep, right down the bottom.
(dogs barking) (gate bell rings) Dad, the girls are here.
Right.
Well, I want them to finish those trimmings.
There's a lamp just at the back.
Tell them that needs fixed.
And get them to clean those beakers out, okay? Dad, should I let them in? They'd better not fuck me about.
Haven't got time for it this morning.
Morning.
Matt: Narelle, do we have any sugar? Terry: Straight downstairs.
Delia: Morning.
Morning, Delia.
Yeah, she got hit by a fucking car.
She's in the hospital, mate.
Not doing too good, either.
He completely lost it.
He spent all the money.
The deal we had is if it's not paid for, it doesn't leave here.
'Cause otherwise what you're asking me is to trust you.
And all I can say to that is you must be fucking joking me.
Get the fucking money.
(machine whirring) (guitar playing) (car approaching) Hi.
I was wondering if you'd, uh, - Like these? - No! No! No, no, no, no.
So you want to come have dinner with me? Yeah, why not? (guitar playing) What's that, band practise? Oh, we have these meetings.
Everyone's welcome, you know.
You can come if you want to.

(sobbing) GJ: Why are these people closing their eyes? They're meditating, GJ.
Wake up! Matt: I've got a question.
Is there such a thing as the human mind? Human mind, wow.
Is someone speaking? What is the nature of the human mind? Plotting and scheming.
Planning and calculating.
That is the nature of mind.
Constant thought.
Recent research tells us that the universe is not infinite.
(clicks tongue) so what I want to know is Who's this guy? - Bunny: Matt Mitcham, the girl's father.
- Matt Mitcham.
What I want to know is, When you get to the edge of the universe, What's there, hmm? Don't know.
Not going there any time soon.
Ah.
What do you see? Ask something a little bit more personal.
This is personal.
My guess? Hmm.
You're not going to like it, mister.
(smacks lips) So what is it? What's beyond the void that's so frightening? What's so scary? A lost little girl.
Your girl, Mr Matt.
Your kid.
With a secret growing inside.
Would you call the photographer, please? Al: Where the bloody hell's Lee? Howe: They headed off towards the lake.
Al: What? Well, get him immediately.
Howe: Taking a piss, sir.
Al: I don't care what he's doing.
Get him here now.
Robin? All right, everyone.
Mic on? (camera clicking) ESR officer: Peeling back the bloodstained towel.
(camera clicking) (video camera whirring) Al: What the bloody hell is that? - Looks like an animal.
- Man: It's a dog.
(exhales) (camera clicking) Robin? Go get four of the guys and check the property for any further burials.
You can go, um, 100 metres beyond this boundary.
You still think he's done something? Well, his note said he's sorry for something and I'm sure it's not for euthanizing his dog.
Come on, Al.
Someone's obviously been harassing him.
Look at his house.
What do you expect? He was exposed.
No wonder he hung himself.
(mobile chimes) (mobile beeping) (knock on door) You might want to look at this.
Zanic's video.
(polka music playing in video) Hey.
Up.
Can I have it? Wolfgang: (on video) ja! Ja, that is so good.
(panting) Does Wolfie have a blue hoodie? Whoever shot this did.
Doesn't everyone have one? Well, darling haven't you changed? And I could shout but I've learned to use a level voice instead of following my heart out Have you got kids? I've got so many choices Can I be left alone, please? A memory (blowing bird call) (chuckles) (Tui laughing in video) Tui: (singing on video) well, darling haven't you changed? And I could shout but I've learned to use a level voice instead of following my heart out the angel says that it was meant was always meant to be a memory (knock on door) Uh, I've brought my Canadian.
You wanna go out on the lake? All right.
You know, Tui sings really well.
We should have brought the wine.
Be nice to have a glass out here.
Yeah, I don't drink.
What about the other night at the bar? No, that was a soft drink.
So you've no excuses.
So Are we going to do it again? It's complicated.
Don't you think? No.
Going to fish? Can't we do a bit more of the wrong thing before we do the right thing? - (indistinct talking) - (Robin laughing) I found a place.
There's this old teak opium house.
It's up near the Thai-Cambodian border.
And the rivers there run right down out of the mountains, And there are these small poppy plantations.
Scattered out there through the rainforest.
People there were really good to me.
But, after a time, I just became an addict.
Just a fucking arsehole.
I ran out of money.
I ran away.
They caught me trying to get across the border.
I got processed.
Ended up in this This hell hole.
Just concrete wall and floors, and a hole in the ground for the toilet.
Dad, He just said, "stuff you.
" How many years was it? It was eight.
The last few there were a lot easier.
My mum, she really stepped up.
She helped me pay for food, medicine.
I was able to study law.
Shocked? No.
What do you think? Johnno: You know, you were my first kiss.
Was I yours? Robin: First long kiss.
Can I do this properly? Like in bed? I don't know.
I don't wanna fall for you.
We can make it the last time.
Johnno: Do you have to work in the morning? - Why? - I want to go for coffee.
(breathing heavily) Robin: No.
No coffee.
I'm about to get married.
I don't want to fall in love.
Wear it.

-Awesome.

Gives three to four hours' stimulus, Mild euphoria, enhanced appreciation of music, Some erotic overtones.
Who's this old fucker? Mate, that's Doctor Shulgin.
Berkeley, California legend, okay? He discovered and experimented with over 230 psychoactive drugs.
Living legend.
Good man.
Yeah, that's nice.
That's nice.
Where'd the shit come from? (clears throat) It's good.
You reckon the old man'll go for it, Marky? (machine whirring) Hey, just do a halvie ya, bro.
We'll be peeling you off the walls.
- Oh! - Terry: What'd I just say? - I'll be all right, mate.
- (Chuckles) No, you won't, bro.
(chuckles) No, you won't, bro.
(all laughing) This is really good.
(giggling) All: No! My first date in years.
Uh, this is not a date.
It's an apology.
If I wanted a date, I would have asked Bunny.
Okay, I'm I'm kind of confused.
So how did Bunny get in with that, uh.
- GJ? - GJ.
GJ, yeah.
Oh, they met in rehab.
Who was in rehab? GJ was in rehab? - No, no, no, she was visiting someone.
-Hmm.
And they got talking.
Bunny said, "you're the first person who's ever really spoken the truth.
"Wherever you want to go, wherever you want to be, "I'll pay for it.
" GJ said, "let's see if you really mean it.
" And she put her finger on the map (taps table) like that.
And now here we are, Paradise.
She put her finger on a map? Yeah.
Yeah.
Here we are.
How are you handling Paradise? - Beautiful.
- Yeah.
Got quite a history, you know.
No, I didn't know.
Adam and Eve, Garden of eden.
Hmm.
The coming of the serpent.
Serpent.
Wow.
Right.
No, not me.
(laughs) No, not you.
No, the first guy that moved in there killed his wife and kids.
Burned the house down.
Next family, The silence nearly drove them mad.
Thought they could hear the kids wailing through the walls.
One day, they just got up and left.
Is it really true? You should tell Bunny.
I bet you Bob Platt didn't.
Why don't you tell her yourself? Okay.
So how do I get a date with Bunny? I think it's time to go home.
To your place.
That's what I wanna do.
You have some of that, eh, you'll be fucked for work tomorrow.
Okay, don't talk to me unless you're going to keep to the present tense, okay? Don't want to hear about anything else.
(stuttering) just pisses me off.
Just say what's happening now, okay? Right now.
Whatever's happening now.
Anything else, just keep to yourself.
I don't wanna hear about it.
