The Australian Outback.
This has been our home for 80,000 years.
White miners stripped our land of opals
and left behind a maze of tunnels.
Blackfellas tell stories of monsters living down below.
Most dismiss them as myths and legends.
But I know different.
The monsters are real.
They've been here for centuries.
And they'd finally found the perfect place to live.
Hey, newcomer. If you're gonna live here, let's be clear.
You work...
... us.
There's a blood hunter on my trail.
Deal with it.
Some heroes stand against them, the blood hunters.
Blackfellas dedicated to killing these monsters.
But they haven't been seen in a long time.
But this isn't a story about a hero.
- What was that? - Don't know. Must've been a roo.
Told you that roo bar'd be handy.
What you drawing there?
History presentation today.
- No! - It's so boring.
They want me to do my paper on Australia Day.
Hey, look, true history happenin' right here.
Yeah, well, hope she's tied properly.
- Help me! - Hang on. Let's check.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Yeah, she right.
Oh! Ohh!
I can't take this anymore.
You know, Neeks, we should just kill them where we find them.
You won't let me go down.
This is the only way I can track 'em.
Yeah, all right. Let her suck on that dust.
Come on. We need to get ready.
Nah. Just wait.
Dirty old cow. You could've put some bloody undies on.
Why are you doing this to me?
Please! Help me, please!
Hey! One more word outta you and I'll put that right...
Hey, Tyson, don't kill it.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
She should shut her hole, though.
Hey!
Neeks, look, opal. That's gonna get us new hubcaps.
I can get you all the opals you want!
Ah, shut up!
You wait!
I'm gonna kill all you blackfellas!
You're an ugly one.
Hey, how's that map lookin'? Which way this time?
I bet you that opal she went east.
Nah. West.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Bouzzz!
Take that, ya blood-suckin' bastards!
Ya messin' with the master blaster now!
Go! Go! Gahhhh... Yah!
Whoa! Whoa!
Headin' out to community
to sell this opal to Black Elvis.
You need to check if that was a roo you hit.
Yeah, yeah, later.
Tyson!
Can't you just pull up like a normal person?
Just for once.
Hey, gate to gate.
You're the one humbugging me saying you'll be late.
I am late. I got no sleep last night.
Ohh, hero's life, Neeks.
I didn't choose it. It chose me.
Hmm.
Not gonna help my history report.
Ohhh! Bossy little thing.
Hey! Lunch!
Hey!
Trained ya good, didn't I?
Hey, eyes to the ground, Neeks.
And the convicts built all the roads and buildings.
That's why my dad says the convicts were heroes, not crims.
Shanika.
You're up.
You wanna call it Australia Day?
Well, we call it Invasion Day.
This is the true history of Australia.
Not your convicts.
Or your roads.
This is before them.
My people lived happily, looked after the land.
Tyson says there was just an occasional punch-up.
But it was all cool.
And then they came.
They claimed our land because they reckoned nobody lived here,
but that was a straight-up lie.
They came over here with their weapons,
not just guns and vials of smallpox.
that had secret creatures on the bottom of that ship
that would rip and kill and tear our mob apart.
There was 11 of them.
What were they?
Vampires.
That attack on the shores of the Sydney harbour
was the first of many.
And the beginning of this war.
They quickly became addicted to the blackfella blood
and they couldn't get enough.
But that was always the British plan.
They went all over Australia, stalking us from the shadows.
But our mob are still standing strong
and still fighting today.
Hmm.
She's drunk, just like the rest of them.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Shanika!
? I keep thinking about giving up everything at home ?
? Thinkin' about leaving home ?
Must've been a big roo.
Look here.
Ah, this is crap.
You blind?
That's solid.
Give you $500 for it.
$600 at least, brah.
I could be in town talking to
any one of those whitefella dealers,
but I'm here supporting black business.
- Coralee, sis. - What?
Bring over $550.
How much?
$550.
Thank you, bub.
Try not to come round here wasting our water, ya know?
Love you.
Yeah.
Chuck in that doll there too.
Shanika too old for dolls, or what?
Nah, she right. Here.
For Froggy. Tell him we're square now.
Heya.
Hey.
- Hey, Aunty Maria. - Had some action, eh?
Yeah, last night we got a real crusty old one.
Maybe next time you might wanna wash
your vampire blood off somewhere else.
Hey. I've been keeping this mob safe, haven't I?
When's the last time you saw a vamp on the community here?
Traps are clear, we got 'em on the run.
Big shot here, eh?
Oh, you right there, my daughter?
Yeah, Dad. I got this.
Shanika beep mapping the tunnels there.
Good little sidekick that one.
Oh, be careful about teaching Shanika
about your blood hunting.
I'm not a blood hunter.
You hunt vampires, don't ya?
Hey, I hunt vampires my own way.
You wanna keep your voice down.
This mob got enough to worry about here.
Just do your job and don't bring it here.
That's our deal.
Copy that.
Ahh.
Nah!
That's all right. Don't worry about it.
You got the rego, didn't you?
Yeah. I already wrote it down.
- Which way did he go? - I don't know.
- Why would I know that? - See all the holes out here?
Could be one of those for all we know.
Have you thought about the paperwork on this?
Oi, you mob!
Look there, them big holes will gobble you up.
Home time now.
Keep your eyes down.
You pushed me! You pushed me!
Here you go, babe. Right.
Tyson, I need vegetables.
Yeah, there's vegetables in the fried rice there.
Look! Peas, carrots...
- Whatever the hell that's... - They're this big!
- Oh! - We don't even need this much.
You got money left for my school lunch tomorrow?
Here I am celebrating a win, you got nothin' but complaints.
You're turning into a proper little teenager now.
I need a proper sleep.
I need proper veggies and I need to study.
Oh, jeez, anything else?
Yes. You promised me a pony.
Oh! I'll round ya up a couple of donkeys in the morning.
Top pocket.
Don't know why we bother anyway.
There hasn't been a sucker on the bus for ages.
Yeah, well, this is our job, pest control.
Got to protect the community.
Our blackfella blood's like crack to them.
Hey. Hey! Hey! You're spillin' that in there.
- I just cleaned up. - Don't look clean.
I cleaned it at Black Elvis's joint.
Here, look. I got you something.
For doing your big presentation.
Use her for target practice.
I told 'em about vampires.
What?
It's true history.
How many times have I told you? You can't tell people.
All they do is panic, get in the way.
Well, they didn't believe me, anyway.
Yeah, you wanna hope they didn't.
You know what? I'm taking this back.
No!
What? No. No. You wrecked it. You wrecked it.
Beautiful moment and you wrecked it.
Here. We're on.
Come on.
Yeah. Show us your fangs.
There won't be any.
What's it gonna be?
Is it the hogs or the man?
- Can we go now? - Nuh!
One more stop.
All righty.
Quick check inside, make sure there's no suckers,
- Then straight home. - I need sleep.
Just do your homework.
20 minutes, tops.
Hero's life, Neeks.
This is the hero's life?
Tyson!
Right.
Hey, ya old bastard.
Hey! Look out!
Guard up! Guard up! Guard up!
Ladies, nothing sadder than an empty glass
in front of an empty chair.
How are ya going? Yeah, you good? You good?
Ahhh!
How are we doin'?
Tyson Walker, Opal City welcome party.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Thank you, my dear.
To us!
There. There we go. There we go. You know you love it.
Ahhh.
Just gonna have a joom.
Yeah, hang on, I'm nearly done. Save me half!
Grab that other basket, El.
Did you save me half?
Elvis?
El...
Elvis!
Oh! Elvis!
No!
And I was like, "Brahs, you put a finger on her,
I'm gonna have to put some fingers on you."
And I just grabbed him like this here
and bop, bop, bop, dropped him.
Got plenty more stories like that.
Ellie, you should come join us. Rep your nation.
I'm working, dick.
Mm-hm.
So, uh, what brings you to Opal City?
A modelling assignment?
So the whole tunnel's built underground
because of the heat, you see.
Is that why this bar's underground?
Uh-huh. Then there's the isolation
Hundreds of miles from the nearest town.
But when you see that flash of colour, it's all worth it.
Did ya tell her you shoot kangaroos for a living?
Oh, my God, the strippers are here!
Getting over.
What, not even a dance, Sarge?
Go fuck yourself, Walker.
Mate! The cheek I get from the strippers these days.
Yeah, thanks, mate.
We've got an abandoned truck on the highway. No-one in it.
You hear anything about it?
Have you asked around?
? Sometimes I feel nothing ?
? But hurt in my chest ?
? Almost thinking... ?
Hey, Tyson, what are you doing?
Tyson!
Hello, Kitty cat.
You don't get to call me that anymore.
Come on. We're still friends.
I'm taking them opal hunting.
Who's Sporty Spice here?
This is Alma. She's my new housemate.
She'll be working nights at the clinic.
Maybe I do need a health check.
Tyson Walker, you need more than a check-up.
You know what I need, do you?
- G'day, I'm Tyson. - Alma.
- Alma, where are you from, Alma? - Melbourne.
I should give you a Welcome to Country, then.
I think your welcome's been warm.
- Oh! - Hey!
Get out of here! Go on! Go!
Bloody miners.
He used the same bloody line on me.
Yeah. "Welcome to Opal City."
Yeah, You'll get used to it.
See ya, Bob.
Hey, Neeks.
Neeks!
Hmm?
What's the difference between a racist and a vampire?
What?
One got a really small brain.
Hey, Neeks.
Shanika!
What?
How come you never call me Dad?
What?
Just try it, like, once.
No.
Just say, "Hey. Hey, Dad. You're deadly."
Nuh.
"Love you, Dad."
Well...
... call me Mum, then.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, calm down.
Calm down. Hey. Hey.
It's me.
Chill out.
I saw it again.
Oh, it's gone now. I'm here.
Everything's all right, right?
Tyson, wake up.
Tyson!
You need to take me to school.
Tyson!
Huh!
Tyson, you're such a...
Your presentation was ridiculous, Shanika.
- Not so smart anymore. - Piss off!
Are all blackfellas dumb?
Lucky white people came to save youse.
Darryl, stop it!
- Keep going and I'll smash you! - Didn't save your mum, but.
Shanika!
Ohhh!
Come on, Dusty Princess.
You got this, old girl.
Yeah. And then round the outer.
And that's it. Now let him go!
Oh, no. Nah. Come on!
No, no, slower. Faster, you...
Aussie Jack by a nose to young Werther...
Useless bloody horse!
Beer, thanks, bud.
Hell, and a whisky chaser. Why not?
Might get hit by a bus tomorrow.
What, like that truckie on the highway?
What truckie?
One the cops are looking for.
Found the truck empty on the minefields yesterday morning.
No body. They reckon a hit and run.
The bloke that hit him probably threw him down a mine shaft.
If this town knows anything, it's how to hide a body.
? Maybe I'll go back ?
? To the shadows. ?
Hey, Tyson. Dickhead.
Ah, fuck.
Come on!
Oh, fuck!
Blood hunters.
Tyson is your dad?
No. He's my legal guardian.
He'd be out hunting roos, workin'.
We also rang the other number listed.
What other number?
Aunty Kitty?
Kitty Sinclair.
Are you a guardian too?
No.
I'm Tyson's ex-partner, but I'm here for Shanika.
We're very concerned about the violence she's exhibiting.
She attempted to seriously assault one of her peers.
He insulted my mum.
Sounds like you've got a bully
using a young girl's grief to get a reaction.
I hope you called the other parents too.
The thing is Shanika was on her last warning.
And her behaviour is escalating.
Bullshit.
Shanika.
I'd like to speak with Tyson.
He's busy.
We understand things going on in life outside of school
that affects our behaviour.
Sometimes, it can be hard to talk about those things.
Shanika's right. This is bullshit.
When you bring that other kid in, call us.
Unfortunately, we can't have Shanika
on school grounds at the moment.
I'm suspended?
I've also had to alert Child Protection Services.
What?!
Piss off.
I'd like Tyson to meet with me
before this escalates further.
You know how to answer your phone?
Yeah. What did I do this time?
Black Elvis is missing.
Coralee said he was dragged away by spirits.
What?
I think a blood hunter is here.
A real one. I found his gear.
Do you know who?
Nah. I haven't spoken to those mob in 10 years.
This is bad, Tyson.
If an actual blood hunter is here,
then something bad's happened.
I think it's that missing truck driver. That's him.
You gotta find him.
- Nah, he's gone down there. - Then you gotta go down...
I won't go down there. You know that.
I do pest control. I'm not crazy.
Our mob are being killed, Tyson.
You gotta find this bloke.
Hey, Kitty cat!
Don't "Kitty cat" me, dickhead. I need a word.
Aunty Maria.
I'll leave youse mob to it.
If you're after a reconciliation,
then now's not the time.
If you bothered answering your phone, you'd know about school.
Why is everyone calling me today? What happened at school?
- She got kicked out. - Oh, what?!
This girl's got a good brain in her head.
And you're leading her astray like some two-bit cowboy.
Hey, my bits are good. Solid, even.
Well, Mr Solid, you can deal with Child Protection Services
because they've now been alerted.
And once they got their eye on you...
I got no time for this, Kitty. I got things to do!
Like watching roos and getting pissed?!
You're all she's got.
Yes. I'm her legal guardian. I'll deal with it.
You had your chance.
- Bye, Auntie Kitty. - See ya, bub.
Jerk!
You two still act like you're married up.
Yeah. She wishes.
I don't wanna go with Child Protection.
I wanna stay here, with you.
Who gives a shit about Child Protection?
I got bigger problems.
- What? - Get your fighting face on.
- For real? - For real.
But vamps never go into the community.
Yeah, I know.
Look, we've trained for this, right?
So we just deal with it and things go back to normal.
Hero's life, Neeks, remember?
Tyson, you're a dick.
Yeah, well, you're annoying. Stop punching kids.
- Weapons. - Yep.
All right, eyes to the ground, Neeks.
Any suckers gonna take us two on, they'd be crazy.
Nah, just a couple of cowboys there.
- Hang on. - What's going on?
Look at 'em all. They're all suckers.
- We can't take that many. - It's all right. We just need one.
Yeah, look at this
colonisin', blood-suckin', no-arse bastard.
Yeah! Come on, you little cockroach.
Yeah, go on. Get in there.
Right. We're on.
Eyes to the ground.
- Argh! - Go, go, go!
Oh, shit!
What's going on? What are you all doing here?
Hey!
Oh!
Tyson!
Hey! Eyes to the ground!
Neeks!
Shanika!
