Glitch (2015) s03e01 Episode Script
Season 3, Episode 1
1 PHIL: Everything that lives must die.
And I exist to enforce that.
- WOMAN: Are you OK? - PHIL: Yeah, I'm fine.
G'day, Beau.
Hi.
Aah! - JAMES: What's wrong? - We need to get her to surgery.
We lost her there for a minute.
- And you know what you need to do? - Yeah.
(GUNSHOT ECHOES) Paddy! Paddy! We never got sick here before.
The effects of the original experiment are fading.
Which is why the boundary's shrinking.
I'm Owen, by the way.
Kate.
I like your style.
It's quite a story, if you're ready to hear it.
You think you can't help me but your body can.
No! Aaaagh! HEYSEN: Your fingers! WILLIAM: They came back, like you said.
If you can do this, then you can bring Elishia back, using her work.
(WHIRRING) (GASPS) (GUNSHOT) Oh! (GUNSHOT) You survived.
That's excellent.
You're in my debt now.
Last time I came to this fence, I got sick.
The experiment worked.
- Didn't bring Elishia back, though.
- (SIGHS) SARAH: There's a land of the living and a land of the dead.
And the bridge is love, the only survivor, the only meaning.
(RAGGED BREATHING) (BREATHES HEAVILY) Mum? (THEME MUSIC) (BREATHES RAPIDLY) (GROANING) (GRUNTS) (BREATHES RAPIDLY) - (SCREAMS) - Oh Sorry, I don't understand.
Uh Thank you.
I sleepwalk sometimes, but usually with my nightie on.
Is this China? No, this is definitely Yoorana.
Yoorana.
Yoorana.
My name's Belle.
Belle, um Belle Donohue.
Belle Dono hoo.
(GRUNTS REPEATEDLY) (GRUNTS) (SOBS) (EXHALES LOUDLY) I've never come this far before.
I really have to go home.
What are you gonna do? Why don't you come with me? Ow! Ow (SCRAPES STONES) Thank you.
I really like Chinese food.
Chicken chow mein, and sweet-and-sour pork.
But my absolute favourite's honey prawns.
Have you ever tried honey prawns? Look, I'm feeding her very small amounts, but she's she's still getting a lot of a lot of reflux.
Well, do you sit her upright when you feed her? No, I'm hanging her upside down! Of course I sit her upright.
Well, um, mixing formula and breastfeeding can be tricky No, no, there's no breastfeeding.
She's never gonna be breastfed again, OK? Look, I just need you to tell me which of these is best for treating reflux, OK? Is it the Gold Natural Plus, is it the lactose-free, is it the Infant Organic or fuckin' goat's milk? Just tell me.
Should we go in and rescue Jackie? Nuh.
With those prices, let her have a dose of him.
Have you tried Sarah again? I've already left three messages.
She doesn't want to speak to me, Mike.
Yeah, it's postnatal depression.
Right.
So you're a psychiatrist now, are you? She should be breastfeeding.
Something's up.
Hmm.
- Going with goat's milk.
- Oh! Oh, yeah, excellent choice, mate.
Right, so, let's get this little poppet home for her nap.
(SIGHS) (ENGINE STARTS) You know, once I woke up in a park, with ants all over my face.
Ants, like, in my mouth.
It was horrible.
What? Can you speak any English at all? (INHALES) (EXHALES) You know, you shouldn't smoke.
It's a disgusting habit.
(SING) Dang-dang-dang-dang Dang-dang-dang-dang, dang! Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang, dang, dang, dang, dang (INHALES) Pah! Ding-ng-ng-ng, ding, dang! Marijuana? No.
Sorry, you can't come to my house if you're a drug addict.
What? You.
You know, that's just rude.
I am sorry.
Look, it's the old water wheel.
We used to come here with our fellowship.
Oi, you, come here.
New batch of celestials.
All right, we'll get 'em settled.
Now, no stealing, no whoring and no working any of the white man's claim.
Yes, boss.
Well, tell 'em.
That's it? Right, if any of you want to find this (SPITS) then you're gonna need to buy this.
It's a gold licence and it costs 30 shillings per month.
Right, you, you, come with me.
Hey.
(BELLE GASPS) No.
Don't.
Luke, don't! Luke, don't! Don't, I'll fall! "All you who labour and are heavy " You pushed me.
- No, I didn't! - Mum! Mum, Luke's gonna fall! Belle Donohue, get down here right now, before you break your neck.
No, but it was Luke who pushed me! You're the oldest.
Have some common sense.
Belle, why aren't you with the youth circle? Seriously, young lady, do you want to be placed under discipline again? Belle! (SCREAMS) What's wrong? I think I had one of my turns here at at the wheel, and I fell.
You on two feet now.
I know.
Hey, you can speak English.
I remember.
My name Chi.
Chi Wai.
Tam Chi Wai.
Tam Chi Chi.
Chi need money.
Licence.
Get gold.
Well, I can give you some money.
- You have money? - Yeah, a little bit.
Come on, it's this way to my place.
You know, I'm a really good saver.
I've still got all my Christmas money.
Where is money? It's in my piggy bank.
- Money in pig? - Yeah.
(HORN BEEPS) Can you hear that? - (HORN BEEPS) - (CALLS IN CANTONESE) OWEN: You all right? Yeah.
There's nothing happening here either.
- All right, go easy.
- No, I mean, I I feel fine.
I don't feel sick or anything.
The whole boundary must have disappeared.
Are you sure? Yeah, I mean, well, this is the last exit.
Well, do you still want to go to Adelaide? Yeah! How long's it gonna take to drive? - About eight hours straight through.
- All right.
I'll let Charlie and Kirstie know.
Right.
You can sleep and I'll drive.
Do you think I should call Mum? You know, prepare her? How would you do that? Surprise! Don't have a heart attack, but I'm not dead anymore.
Yep.
- Yeah? - What could possibly go wrong with that? - Yeah.
- (LAUGHS) All right.
All right, you drive.
I'll come up with a better plan.
I just need the right soundtrack.
- All right, I drive, you deejay.
- Deal.
Goodbye, bridge! Goodbye, Yoorana! - (LAUGHS) - Whoo! - I need to get my chops out - Just wait, please.
Just wait please, Mum.
They'll freeze if you put 'em up there.
- No, they're fine.
Leave them there.
- They should be going in the door.
You don't need to do that many.
- Just relax.
- I'm relaxed! Good.
So, how long do you think you might be staying with us, then? Really? I didn't know there was a time limit.
I've rung Sarah and I've left a few messages.
Oh, Mum, I specifically told you to give her some space.
Well, I'm worried.
Nia's my granddaughter No! Fuck that.
I'm her father, OK? - I make the decisions.
- MIKE: Hey! This is still our house.
OK, well, if you wanna chuck me out, just chuck me out.
Don't be stupid.
Listen.
Why don't you and I go out and have a beer? She's gonna wake up soon.
I have looked after babies before, you know? Of all temperaments.
Yeah, all right.
Over here.
Must be one of the new families.
You wait here while I sneak in and get you money.
LUKE: Hey! Stop! Oh, my God.
Who are you? What are you doing in my room? - Mum! - Mum! - Dad! - Mum! - In here! - What? Who is that? No, no, no, no, no, no.
"Fear thou not, for I am with thee.
Be not dismayed, for I am thy God " I'm sorry, what is it? Why do you look so weird? Is this real? Are are you seeing this? Yes, Luke, we are.
Why did you call him Luke? Anne, be careful.
It's all right.
Shh.
Shh.
Mum, I'm sorry.
Everything's all right.
JUDITH: What's going on? Get out.
Who is that? Belle? Duncan? (WHISPERS) Let's go downstairs.
That's Judith and her daughter, Grace.
And this is Luke.
Your brother.
How could it ? I don't understand.
Everything's all right.
We're gonna take care of everything.
I promise.
(SOFTLY) Lock the gate.
JAMES: We're going to Lightbridge, aren't we? MIKE: Yeah.
Why? For some reason, your GPS is showing a map of São Paulo.
Eh? I just bought that.
Some kind of glitch.
Now, uh, I might be getting a bit long in the tooth, but I don't miss much.
There's, um Well, there's obviously something going on with Sarah.
Look, she's - She's gone.
She's gone.
- Jesus.
I'm sorry, mate.
Why'd she leave? It doesn't matter why.
- Yes, it does.
- It doesn't.
I can look after Nia.
Yeah, but that's not the point.
Is there someone else involved? - A third party? - For Sarah? God, no.
- Well, for you, then? - No, of course not.
You know, we always thought you rushed into things too fast.
No, Sarah and I we knew what we wanted.
Listen, why don't you leave Nia with us for a little while? You go back home, you sort things out with your wife.
- It's too late, Dad.
- No, it's never too late, mate.
You just need to spend some quality time together.
You don't understand, Dad.
Sarah's Sarah's gone and she's never coming back.
- (SIGHS) - James, what's happened? Everything's fucked, Dad.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, hey, it's OK.
Every crisis has its fix.
You've got a beautiful little girl.
(CRIES) I'll just I'll just be back in a sec.
(SNIFFS) (PANTS) Fuck.
(THUMP!) (EERIE MUSIC) (PANTS) (MUSIC SWELLS) (PANTS) You OK? Yeah, I think you're right.
I need to go back to Yoorana.
Right, well, can we have lunch first? Yeah.
Let's make it quick, though, 'cause I need to book a flight.
Cheers, son.
Mmm.
Ah, that's good stuff.
Hey! What are you doing here? Where Belle go? I can't understand you, mate.
Belle Donohue.
Belle Donohue's dead.
She bring money.
I told you, she's dead.
Now, piss off! Go on! Get outta here! I can't believe it.
She looks exactly the same.
It breaks my heart.
But how's it possible? You know how.
Do you think we can save her? Belle, there's a lot that's happened and a lot that's changed.
And I know that this is very frightening for you.
It is for all of us.
But as your mother, I can and I will explain everything.
Drink this.
Many of the families in our fellowship have gone.
They were weak.
They lost faith.
But our family has never wavered in our holy promise, Belle.
Not once.
I I promised a friend of mine that I would help.
He's gone.
But he helped me when I woke up from sleepwalking.
You weren't sleepwalking, Belle.
- I wasn't? - No.
No, the truth is you've been in a coma.
A coma? You've been in a coma for a long time, Belle, and you've just come out.
I don't feel so good.
You're gonna be fine.
What's going on? HEYSEN: Can you understand me? Perfectly.
- Are you comfortable? - Yes.
There is no pain receptors in the brain so you shouldn't feel any pain.
Just focus on what I'm saying to you.
And Dr Goldman is going to stimulate various parts of your brain and and you tell me what you recall.
And what will that do? We need to understand how your brain differs from the others.
Kate, Kirstie and Charlie regenerated from remnant DNA, but you returned from clinical death, like Dr McKellar.
So, tell me anything that happens to you while we conduct this process.
Any memories, any thoughts, any strong emotion.
Can you do that for me? Yes.
So what happened after the accident on the oil rig, when you came back? It took me a while to remember who I was.
My whole life.
And I knew I had to get back to Yoorana.
That I had a purpose.
To return Dr McKellar.
(ELECTRICAL BUZZING) And that was your only purpose? I thought it was.
- (BEEPING) - What is happening? The brain activity's unusual.
It suggests two systems running simultaneously.
OK.
And where did this idea, this this purpose come from? I don't know exactly.
So, you were driven for no reason? No, no.
It's It's like breathing.
You don't need a reason to breathe.
And the others like you, that policeman, Vic Eastley, and and Sarah.
We're all part of it.
And Dr McKellar? - She's part of it too? - No.
No, McKellar triggered us, our response.
- By bringing back the dead? - Yes.
Can we stop now, please? Uh yes.
Of course.
I think we've got enough for now.
So, are are you all right? I'm fine.
Thank you.
That was excellent.
Perhaps you still have a purpose to fulfil.
Hello? Hello, Mum, let me out! Please sit down.
- Why'd you lock the door - I told you to sit down! Now, we put you in the bed because you had another one of your turns.
Like at the water wheel? Yes, which is how you fell into a coma.
So, we need to pray.
We need to pray for your immortal soul, don't we? Yes.
Well, get down on your knees.
Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and Forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
We will.
We will deliver you from evil.
Belle! I'm a bad person, aren't I? You have sinned, Belle.
But with this miracle, you've been returned to us, which means that we have a chance to save you.
Do you want us to save your soul, Belle? Yes, of course I do.
That's my good girl! I love you, Mum.
Oh, I love you too, my darling.
Do you remember this place, Belle? It's where we pray to our Lord and he hears our pleas.
(CONGREGATION MUTTERS AND PRAYS) Child of God kneel.
(MUTTERING CONTINUES) Are you, Belle Donohue ready to receive the light of the Lord? I am.
(MUTTERING STOPS) I'm I'm ready to receive the light of the Lord.
Wait.
What what are you doing? You told us yourself, you wandered off.
We can't have that happening again.
- Wait, where are you going? - We need to prepare, sweetheart.
Prepare for what? You said you wanted us to save your soul.
Yes.
And you took the cross, you prayed with me.
- I won't run away.
- We should just kill her now.
- Luke! - Enough.
Dad! Mum Mum! Help! Mum! Come back! Mum! MUM! (TYRES SCREECH NEARBY) (BRAKES SQUEAL, HORN HONKS) I'm not gonna miss the freaks of Yoorana, I can tell you that much for free.
You gonna miss anything? Not the fuckin' boundary, or having to hide from some crazy dickhead.
(LAUGHS) I'll miss Kate.
Just you wait till I take you to Blade.
Sounds painful.
Everyone says it's the most amazing disco.
What's a disco? (LAUGHS) It is where you're finally gonna get laid, Charlie Thompson.
I promise, it is gonna be raining men in Melbourne.
We're not lookin' back.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) (BOTH LAUGH) Evening! So, this is the great artist you keep telling me about.
Ha.
Chi very fast.
Run like wind.
Sing and dance.
Sing and dance? That'll be about as useful here as teats on a bull.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Patrick Michael Fitzgerald and I believe I have a real fuckin' job for you.
Honoured to meet you.
Stop your bowing and scraping.
You and I are gonna make each other as rich as two bastards.
You right, mate? I'm sorry, mate, I don't speak Cantonese.
You speak English? Yes.
- Are you hungry? - Yes.
Come on in.
Best Chinese in town.
Actually, the only Chinese.
So, where are you from? I am Tam Chi Wai.
From Canton.
Trevor Yang, Yoorana.
Where is Chinese camp? I don't know what you were expecting, mate, but this is it.
Did you lose your tour group? I have no group.
No home.
Nothing.
Belle promise money, but then there is bad man.
Right.
Look, why don't I make a phone call? And while you're waiting, anything you like, mate.
What do you like? Beef and black bean? Crispy fried skin chicken? Honey prawns? Yes.
Honey prawn.
All right, prawns it is.
Oh, look, it's Trevor from the Golden Dragon.
Look, this Chinese bloke's just walked in and he seems like he's got a bit of a screw loose.
Yeah.
I don't know.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) So, this whole palaver's done to appease their hungry ghosts so the buggers can stop causing trouble in the here and now and can move on to the heavenly realm.
Oh, yes.
(SINGS IN CANTONESE) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) Still, can you believe how fucking shite it sounds? (BOTH SING IN CANTONESE) (APPLAUSE) Hey, Chief.
Prawns are hot.
What? Hungry Ghost Festival.
It is not pipe.
I am not mad.
We are hungry ghost! Ghost must be set free! Um, hey! Belle is ghost too.
Professor Heysen? - David Goldman briefed you? - Yes.
Everything you need is in here.
Is there a priority? Well, it's impossible to state how valuable each of these individuals are.
Start with this one.
He'll be the most difficult.
Your recovery is incredible.
Thank you, David.
Start collating the data.
I'll be up there soon.
Can I go now? You got all the answers you need, didn't you? We know some about what Dr McKellar did, but not how she discovered it.
Or even the chemicals she used at the cemetery.
We ran tests, and the soil shows similarity to a crystalline limestone known as the Stone of Kings.
So? It's also called the Jerusalem Stone, because that's the only place in the world where it exists.
I don't care about that.
I've helped you enough.
I saved your life.
- What more do you want from me? - Real results.
Concrete, repeatable results.
You want to bring someone back.
Who? This is Agnes and Isabelle.
My daughters.
They were 11 and 8 when they died.
It doesn't matter how.
You you don't need to know.
I was there and I I saw it happen.
So, when I when I came here and I I saw the possibility to see them again The work that we are doing, you and I, could help make that happen for others as well.
Where are you going? Uh, I've got a call with the board in Sweden.
No-one else can know about this.
My team already knows and when they get the latest data No, no, you can't do that.
- I can and I will - Listen, this is wrong.
Who are you to tell me what I can or can't do? - This has to be contained.
- Stop! (CHOKES) (THUD!) Shit.
Ah, fuck! (DOOR OPENS) Hey, Belle, wake up! Wake up! There you go.
What are you doing? What do you want? Listen, Mum lied to you.
You weren't in a coma at all.
Why why would she lie to me? You've got to get away.
Where? Anywhere away from here.
OK? (GASPS) Judith.
What are you doing? Get back inside now.
Where's Grace? She's asleep.
Stay away from her.
She's dangerous.
But it's Belle.
Look at her, Luke.
It's her.
Belle's gone long ago.
And now her earthly body's been possessed by a demon.
- I'm not a demon.
- Should I shoot it now? No.
Her soul must be released, or she'll be in torment forever.
What if she's not possessed? What if this is the miracle I prayed for? What are you talking about? What if she's the prophet? That is blasphemy.
What is wrong with you?! What is wrong with YOU? (GASPS) Get in the house and take care of your daughter! (WEEPS) Mum! Repeat after me.
My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
ALL: My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS) My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
ALL: My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
His blood protects me against all evil.
ALL: His blood protects me against all evil.
(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS) Mum, I'm not a demon! Please, I'm not! Then how did you come back? How has my daughter, after 15 years, come back?! I don't know! I renounce all evil spirits and declare them to be my enemies! ALL: I renounce all evil spirits and declare them to be my enemies! We must release the demons from her.
Disobedience! Masturbation! Gluttony! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! ALL: The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! (BELLE STRUGGLES, WHIMPERS AND GASPS FOR AIR) Keep going.
Don't stop.
It's all right.
She'll come back.
Have faith.
Trust me.
Mum what did you do to me? It's proof.
See? Mum, get out of here.
Let her burn! - We need to finish this.
- Wait, don't leave me! Mum! I'm not afraid of you, demon.
Mum! Dad! Come back! Help! (SCREAMS) Mum! (GROANS) I am coming! Chi! We go out window.
Come on! Give us today our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses No! (ANNE CONTINUES MUTTERING PRAYER) (SOBBING) BELLE: So how did you do that? (CHI SPEAKS CANTONESE) Magic candle.
It's just a lighter, Chi.
That was family.
I don't think that I was sleepwalking when you found me.
I think I died.
I die too.
Maybe Dad's right.
Maybe me and you, maybe we are demons.
No.
We not demons.
We hungry ghost.
Gates of hell open and our spirits free.
We need release before gates close again.
OK.
So, we're hungry ghosts.
Yes.
You help me, I help you.
- Mm.
- We both get to heaven.
(CAR APPROACHES) Careful.
Hi there.
I'm Chris Rennox of the Yoorana Police.
Listen, um, you wouldn't happen to be Belle Donohue, would you? How did you know that? I got a call about a Chinese man lost in town.
From the Golden Dragon.
I spoke to Trevor and I thought I might just have a look up at the cemetery.
Look, there's some people around here might want to hurt you.
But I promise, if you come with me, you'll be safe.
W Why we trust you? I know you came from the cemetery.
I know you're scared and confused.
We are.
And we're we're really hungry.
OK.
Come on.
It's OK.
You go win her back, champ.
Goodbye, old man.
So, you gonna say sorry before you go? I'm sorry.
And don't worry, Nia will be fine.
You're an amazing mother.
You always have been.
Goodbye, my girl.
It's only for a few days.
Yeah.
(ENGINE STARTS) (NIA FUSSES) See ya, Daddy.
(FUSSES) We'll give you a lift.
We're not running a taxi for crazy people.
I can't believe you've never been to karaoke.
(INHALES SHARPLY) You have got a spare tyre, right? Uh, sorry to bother you, but, um, we've got a flat tyre.
Are you guys an item? (PANTING) Stop! Hello? Police and ambulance?
And I exist to enforce that.
- WOMAN: Are you OK? - PHIL: Yeah, I'm fine.
G'day, Beau.
Hi.
Aah! - JAMES: What's wrong? - We need to get her to surgery.
We lost her there for a minute.
- And you know what you need to do? - Yeah.
(GUNSHOT ECHOES) Paddy! Paddy! We never got sick here before.
The effects of the original experiment are fading.
Which is why the boundary's shrinking.
I'm Owen, by the way.
Kate.
I like your style.
It's quite a story, if you're ready to hear it.
You think you can't help me but your body can.
No! Aaaagh! HEYSEN: Your fingers! WILLIAM: They came back, like you said.
If you can do this, then you can bring Elishia back, using her work.
(WHIRRING) (GASPS) (GUNSHOT) Oh! (GUNSHOT) You survived.
That's excellent.
You're in my debt now.
Last time I came to this fence, I got sick.
The experiment worked.
- Didn't bring Elishia back, though.
- (SIGHS) SARAH: There's a land of the living and a land of the dead.
And the bridge is love, the only survivor, the only meaning.
(RAGGED BREATHING) (BREATHES HEAVILY) Mum? (THEME MUSIC) (BREATHES RAPIDLY) (GROANING) (GRUNTS) (BREATHES RAPIDLY) - (SCREAMS) - Oh Sorry, I don't understand.
Uh Thank you.
I sleepwalk sometimes, but usually with my nightie on.
Is this China? No, this is definitely Yoorana.
Yoorana.
Yoorana.
My name's Belle.
Belle, um Belle Donohue.
Belle Dono hoo.
(GRUNTS REPEATEDLY) (GRUNTS) (SOBS) (EXHALES LOUDLY) I've never come this far before.
I really have to go home.
What are you gonna do? Why don't you come with me? Ow! Ow (SCRAPES STONES) Thank you.
I really like Chinese food.
Chicken chow mein, and sweet-and-sour pork.
But my absolute favourite's honey prawns.
Have you ever tried honey prawns? Look, I'm feeding her very small amounts, but she's she's still getting a lot of a lot of reflux.
Well, do you sit her upright when you feed her? No, I'm hanging her upside down! Of course I sit her upright.
Well, um, mixing formula and breastfeeding can be tricky No, no, there's no breastfeeding.
She's never gonna be breastfed again, OK? Look, I just need you to tell me which of these is best for treating reflux, OK? Is it the Gold Natural Plus, is it the lactose-free, is it the Infant Organic or fuckin' goat's milk? Just tell me.
Should we go in and rescue Jackie? Nuh.
With those prices, let her have a dose of him.
Have you tried Sarah again? I've already left three messages.
She doesn't want to speak to me, Mike.
Yeah, it's postnatal depression.
Right.
So you're a psychiatrist now, are you? She should be breastfeeding.
Something's up.
Hmm.
- Going with goat's milk.
- Oh! Oh, yeah, excellent choice, mate.
Right, so, let's get this little poppet home for her nap.
(SIGHS) (ENGINE STARTS) You know, once I woke up in a park, with ants all over my face.
Ants, like, in my mouth.
It was horrible.
What? Can you speak any English at all? (INHALES) (EXHALES) You know, you shouldn't smoke.
It's a disgusting habit.
(SING) Dang-dang-dang-dang Dang-dang-dang-dang, dang! Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang, dang, dang, dang, dang (INHALES) Pah! Ding-ng-ng-ng, ding, dang! Marijuana? No.
Sorry, you can't come to my house if you're a drug addict.
What? You.
You know, that's just rude.
I am sorry.
Look, it's the old water wheel.
We used to come here with our fellowship.
Oi, you, come here.
New batch of celestials.
All right, we'll get 'em settled.
Now, no stealing, no whoring and no working any of the white man's claim.
Yes, boss.
Well, tell 'em.
That's it? Right, if any of you want to find this (SPITS) then you're gonna need to buy this.
It's a gold licence and it costs 30 shillings per month.
Right, you, you, come with me.
Hey.
(BELLE GASPS) No.
Don't.
Luke, don't! Luke, don't! Don't, I'll fall! "All you who labour and are heavy " You pushed me.
- No, I didn't! - Mum! Mum, Luke's gonna fall! Belle Donohue, get down here right now, before you break your neck.
No, but it was Luke who pushed me! You're the oldest.
Have some common sense.
Belle, why aren't you with the youth circle? Seriously, young lady, do you want to be placed under discipline again? Belle! (SCREAMS) What's wrong? I think I had one of my turns here at at the wheel, and I fell.
You on two feet now.
I know.
Hey, you can speak English.
I remember.
My name Chi.
Chi Wai.
Tam Chi Wai.
Tam Chi Chi.
Chi need money.
Licence.
Get gold.
Well, I can give you some money.
- You have money? - Yeah, a little bit.
Come on, it's this way to my place.
You know, I'm a really good saver.
I've still got all my Christmas money.
Where is money? It's in my piggy bank.
- Money in pig? - Yeah.
(HORN BEEPS) Can you hear that? - (HORN BEEPS) - (CALLS IN CANTONESE) OWEN: You all right? Yeah.
There's nothing happening here either.
- All right, go easy.
- No, I mean, I I feel fine.
I don't feel sick or anything.
The whole boundary must have disappeared.
Are you sure? Yeah, I mean, well, this is the last exit.
Well, do you still want to go to Adelaide? Yeah! How long's it gonna take to drive? - About eight hours straight through.
- All right.
I'll let Charlie and Kirstie know.
Right.
You can sleep and I'll drive.
Do you think I should call Mum? You know, prepare her? How would you do that? Surprise! Don't have a heart attack, but I'm not dead anymore.
Yep.
- Yeah? - What could possibly go wrong with that? - Yeah.
- (LAUGHS) All right.
All right, you drive.
I'll come up with a better plan.
I just need the right soundtrack.
- All right, I drive, you deejay.
- Deal.
Goodbye, bridge! Goodbye, Yoorana! - (LAUGHS) - Whoo! - I need to get my chops out - Just wait, please.
Just wait please, Mum.
They'll freeze if you put 'em up there.
- No, they're fine.
Leave them there.
- They should be going in the door.
You don't need to do that many.
- Just relax.
- I'm relaxed! Good.
So, how long do you think you might be staying with us, then? Really? I didn't know there was a time limit.
I've rung Sarah and I've left a few messages.
Oh, Mum, I specifically told you to give her some space.
Well, I'm worried.
Nia's my granddaughter No! Fuck that.
I'm her father, OK? - I make the decisions.
- MIKE: Hey! This is still our house.
OK, well, if you wanna chuck me out, just chuck me out.
Don't be stupid.
Listen.
Why don't you and I go out and have a beer? She's gonna wake up soon.
I have looked after babies before, you know? Of all temperaments.
Yeah, all right.
Over here.
Must be one of the new families.
You wait here while I sneak in and get you money.
LUKE: Hey! Stop! Oh, my God.
Who are you? What are you doing in my room? - Mum! - Mum! - Dad! - Mum! - In here! - What? Who is that? No, no, no, no, no, no.
"Fear thou not, for I am with thee.
Be not dismayed, for I am thy God " I'm sorry, what is it? Why do you look so weird? Is this real? Are are you seeing this? Yes, Luke, we are.
Why did you call him Luke? Anne, be careful.
It's all right.
Shh.
Shh.
Mum, I'm sorry.
Everything's all right.
JUDITH: What's going on? Get out.
Who is that? Belle? Duncan? (WHISPERS) Let's go downstairs.
That's Judith and her daughter, Grace.
And this is Luke.
Your brother.
How could it ? I don't understand.
Everything's all right.
We're gonna take care of everything.
I promise.
(SOFTLY) Lock the gate.
JAMES: We're going to Lightbridge, aren't we? MIKE: Yeah.
Why? For some reason, your GPS is showing a map of São Paulo.
Eh? I just bought that.
Some kind of glitch.
Now, uh, I might be getting a bit long in the tooth, but I don't miss much.
There's, um Well, there's obviously something going on with Sarah.
Look, she's - She's gone.
She's gone.
- Jesus.
I'm sorry, mate.
Why'd she leave? It doesn't matter why.
- Yes, it does.
- It doesn't.
I can look after Nia.
Yeah, but that's not the point.
Is there someone else involved? - A third party? - For Sarah? God, no.
- Well, for you, then? - No, of course not.
You know, we always thought you rushed into things too fast.
No, Sarah and I we knew what we wanted.
Listen, why don't you leave Nia with us for a little while? You go back home, you sort things out with your wife.
- It's too late, Dad.
- No, it's never too late, mate.
You just need to spend some quality time together.
You don't understand, Dad.
Sarah's Sarah's gone and she's never coming back.
- (SIGHS) - James, what's happened? Everything's fucked, Dad.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, hey, it's OK.
Every crisis has its fix.
You've got a beautiful little girl.
(CRIES) I'll just I'll just be back in a sec.
(SNIFFS) (PANTS) Fuck.
(THUMP!) (EERIE MUSIC) (PANTS) (MUSIC SWELLS) (PANTS) You OK? Yeah, I think you're right.
I need to go back to Yoorana.
Right, well, can we have lunch first? Yeah.
Let's make it quick, though, 'cause I need to book a flight.
Cheers, son.
Mmm.
Ah, that's good stuff.
Hey! What are you doing here? Where Belle go? I can't understand you, mate.
Belle Donohue.
Belle Donohue's dead.
She bring money.
I told you, she's dead.
Now, piss off! Go on! Get outta here! I can't believe it.
She looks exactly the same.
It breaks my heart.
But how's it possible? You know how.
Do you think we can save her? Belle, there's a lot that's happened and a lot that's changed.
And I know that this is very frightening for you.
It is for all of us.
But as your mother, I can and I will explain everything.
Drink this.
Many of the families in our fellowship have gone.
They were weak.
They lost faith.
But our family has never wavered in our holy promise, Belle.
Not once.
I I promised a friend of mine that I would help.
He's gone.
But he helped me when I woke up from sleepwalking.
You weren't sleepwalking, Belle.
- I wasn't? - No.
No, the truth is you've been in a coma.
A coma? You've been in a coma for a long time, Belle, and you've just come out.
I don't feel so good.
You're gonna be fine.
What's going on? HEYSEN: Can you understand me? Perfectly.
- Are you comfortable? - Yes.
There is no pain receptors in the brain so you shouldn't feel any pain.
Just focus on what I'm saying to you.
And Dr Goldman is going to stimulate various parts of your brain and and you tell me what you recall.
And what will that do? We need to understand how your brain differs from the others.
Kate, Kirstie and Charlie regenerated from remnant DNA, but you returned from clinical death, like Dr McKellar.
So, tell me anything that happens to you while we conduct this process.
Any memories, any thoughts, any strong emotion.
Can you do that for me? Yes.
So what happened after the accident on the oil rig, when you came back? It took me a while to remember who I was.
My whole life.
And I knew I had to get back to Yoorana.
That I had a purpose.
To return Dr McKellar.
(ELECTRICAL BUZZING) And that was your only purpose? I thought it was.
- (BEEPING) - What is happening? The brain activity's unusual.
It suggests two systems running simultaneously.
OK.
And where did this idea, this this purpose come from? I don't know exactly.
So, you were driven for no reason? No, no.
It's It's like breathing.
You don't need a reason to breathe.
And the others like you, that policeman, Vic Eastley, and and Sarah.
We're all part of it.
And Dr McKellar? - She's part of it too? - No.
No, McKellar triggered us, our response.
- By bringing back the dead? - Yes.
Can we stop now, please? Uh yes.
Of course.
I think we've got enough for now.
So, are are you all right? I'm fine.
Thank you.
That was excellent.
Perhaps you still have a purpose to fulfil.
Hello? Hello, Mum, let me out! Please sit down.
- Why'd you lock the door - I told you to sit down! Now, we put you in the bed because you had another one of your turns.
Like at the water wheel? Yes, which is how you fell into a coma.
So, we need to pray.
We need to pray for your immortal soul, don't we? Yes.
Well, get down on your knees.
Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and Forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
We will.
We will deliver you from evil.
Belle! I'm a bad person, aren't I? You have sinned, Belle.
But with this miracle, you've been returned to us, which means that we have a chance to save you.
Do you want us to save your soul, Belle? Yes, of course I do.
That's my good girl! I love you, Mum.
Oh, I love you too, my darling.
Do you remember this place, Belle? It's where we pray to our Lord and he hears our pleas.
(CONGREGATION MUTTERS AND PRAYS) Child of God kneel.
(MUTTERING CONTINUES) Are you, Belle Donohue ready to receive the light of the Lord? I am.
(MUTTERING STOPS) I'm I'm ready to receive the light of the Lord.
Wait.
What what are you doing? You told us yourself, you wandered off.
We can't have that happening again.
- Wait, where are you going? - We need to prepare, sweetheart.
Prepare for what? You said you wanted us to save your soul.
Yes.
And you took the cross, you prayed with me.
- I won't run away.
- We should just kill her now.
- Luke! - Enough.
Dad! Mum Mum! Help! Mum! Come back! Mum! MUM! (TYRES SCREECH NEARBY) (BRAKES SQUEAL, HORN HONKS) I'm not gonna miss the freaks of Yoorana, I can tell you that much for free.
You gonna miss anything? Not the fuckin' boundary, or having to hide from some crazy dickhead.
(LAUGHS) I'll miss Kate.
Just you wait till I take you to Blade.
Sounds painful.
Everyone says it's the most amazing disco.
What's a disco? (LAUGHS) It is where you're finally gonna get laid, Charlie Thompson.
I promise, it is gonna be raining men in Melbourne.
We're not lookin' back.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) (BOTH LAUGH) Evening! So, this is the great artist you keep telling me about.
Ha.
Chi very fast.
Run like wind.
Sing and dance.
Sing and dance? That'll be about as useful here as teats on a bull.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Patrick Michael Fitzgerald and I believe I have a real fuckin' job for you.
Honoured to meet you.
Stop your bowing and scraping.
You and I are gonna make each other as rich as two bastards.
You right, mate? I'm sorry, mate, I don't speak Cantonese.
You speak English? Yes.
- Are you hungry? - Yes.
Come on in.
Best Chinese in town.
Actually, the only Chinese.
So, where are you from? I am Tam Chi Wai.
From Canton.
Trevor Yang, Yoorana.
Where is Chinese camp? I don't know what you were expecting, mate, but this is it.
Did you lose your tour group? I have no group.
No home.
Nothing.
Belle promise money, but then there is bad man.
Right.
Look, why don't I make a phone call? And while you're waiting, anything you like, mate.
What do you like? Beef and black bean? Crispy fried skin chicken? Honey prawns? Yes.
Honey prawn.
All right, prawns it is.
Oh, look, it's Trevor from the Golden Dragon.
Look, this Chinese bloke's just walked in and he seems like he's got a bit of a screw loose.
Yeah.
I don't know.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) So, this whole palaver's done to appease their hungry ghosts so the buggers can stop causing trouble in the here and now and can move on to the heavenly realm.
Oh, yes.
(SINGS IN CANTONESE) (SINGS IN CANTONESE) Still, can you believe how fucking shite it sounds? (BOTH SING IN CANTONESE) (APPLAUSE) Hey, Chief.
Prawns are hot.
What? Hungry Ghost Festival.
It is not pipe.
I am not mad.
We are hungry ghost! Ghost must be set free! Um, hey! Belle is ghost too.
Professor Heysen? - David Goldman briefed you? - Yes.
Everything you need is in here.
Is there a priority? Well, it's impossible to state how valuable each of these individuals are.
Start with this one.
He'll be the most difficult.
Your recovery is incredible.
Thank you, David.
Start collating the data.
I'll be up there soon.
Can I go now? You got all the answers you need, didn't you? We know some about what Dr McKellar did, but not how she discovered it.
Or even the chemicals she used at the cemetery.
We ran tests, and the soil shows similarity to a crystalline limestone known as the Stone of Kings.
So? It's also called the Jerusalem Stone, because that's the only place in the world where it exists.
I don't care about that.
I've helped you enough.
I saved your life.
- What more do you want from me? - Real results.
Concrete, repeatable results.
You want to bring someone back.
Who? This is Agnes and Isabelle.
My daughters.
They were 11 and 8 when they died.
It doesn't matter how.
You you don't need to know.
I was there and I I saw it happen.
So, when I when I came here and I I saw the possibility to see them again The work that we are doing, you and I, could help make that happen for others as well.
Where are you going? Uh, I've got a call with the board in Sweden.
No-one else can know about this.
My team already knows and when they get the latest data No, no, you can't do that.
- I can and I will - Listen, this is wrong.
Who are you to tell me what I can or can't do? - This has to be contained.
- Stop! (CHOKES) (THUD!) Shit.
Ah, fuck! (DOOR OPENS) Hey, Belle, wake up! Wake up! There you go.
What are you doing? What do you want? Listen, Mum lied to you.
You weren't in a coma at all.
Why why would she lie to me? You've got to get away.
Where? Anywhere away from here.
OK? (GASPS) Judith.
What are you doing? Get back inside now.
Where's Grace? She's asleep.
Stay away from her.
She's dangerous.
But it's Belle.
Look at her, Luke.
It's her.
Belle's gone long ago.
And now her earthly body's been possessed by a demon.
- I'm not a demon.
- Should I shoot it now? No.
Her soul must be released, or she'll be in torment forever.
What if she's not possessed? What if this is the miracle I prayed for? What are you talking about? What if she's the prophet? That is blasphemy.
What is wrong with you?! What is wrong with YOU? (GASPS) Get in the house and take care of your daughter! (WEEPS) Mum! Repeat after me.
My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
ALL: My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS) My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
ALL: My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.
His blood protects me against all evil.
ALL: His blood protects me against all evil.
(COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS) Mum, I'm not a demon! Please, I'm not! Then how did you come back? How has my daughter, after 15 years, come back?! I don't know! I renounce all evil spirits and declare them to be my enemies! ALL: I renounce all evil spirits and declare them to be my enemies! We must release the demons from her.
Disobedience! Masturbation! Gluttony! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! ALL: The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! The blood of Jesus redeems me from the Devil's hands and all my sins are forgiven! (BELLE STRUGGLES, WHIMPERS AND GASPS FOR AIR) Keep going.
Don't stop.
It's all right.
She'll come back.
Have faith.
Trust me.
Mum what did you do to me? It's proof.
See? Mum, get out of here.
Let her burn! - We need to finish this.
- Wait, don't leave me! Mum! I'm not afraid of you, demon.
Mum! Dad! Come back! Help! (SCREAMS) Mum! (GROANS) I am coming! Chi! We go out window.
Come on! Give us today our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses No! (ANNE CONTINUES MUTTERING PRAYER) (SOBBING) BELLE: So how did you do that? (CHI SPEAKS CANTONESE) Magic candle.
It's just a lighter, Chi.
That was family.
I don't think that I was sleepwalking when you found me.
I think I died.
I die too.
Maybe Dad's right.
Maybe me and you, maybe we are demons.
No.
We not demons.
We hungry ghost.
Gates of hell open and our spirits free.
We need release before gates close again.
OK.
So, we're hungry ghosts.
Yes.
You help me, I help you.
- Mm.
- We both get to heaven.
(CAR APPROACHES) Careful.
Hi there.
I'm Chris Rennox of the Yoorana Police.
Listen, um, you wouldn't happen to be Belle Donohue, would you? How did you know that? I got a call about a Chinese man lost in town.
From the Golden Dragon.
I spoke to Trevor and I thought I might just have a look up at the cemetery.
Look, there's some people around here might want to hurt you.
But I promise, if you come with me, you'll be safe.
W Why we trust you? I know you came from the cemetery.
I know you're scared and confused.
We are.
And we're we're really hungry.
OK.
Come on.
It's OK.
You go win her back, champ.
Goodbye, old man.
So, you gonna say sorry before you go? I'm sorry.
And don't worry, Nia will be fine.
You're an amazing mother.
You always have been.
Goodbye, my girl.
It's only for a few days.
Yeah.
