(waves crashing)

(distant music playing)

(music stops)

(knocks)

Hey, get up.

It's time to check the buoy.

Come on, Josh.

(Josh grunts)

Oh, no.

So you regret

proposing to my sister?

What I regret is letting you

plan my engagement party.

(chuckles)

I know.

Here, get this into you.

It's my great-gran's

hangover remedy.

Oh--!

Smells like sh*t.

Oh, God.

You're spilling it.

You know,

once you get past the gag reflex,

- it's actually not that bad.

- Yeah.

Rory...?

I'll check the buoy.

Oh, my sister's down the beach.

She wants to show you something.

(sighs)

(car door opens, closes)

(car engine starts)

(car engine fades)

Rory:
Looks like it's gonna be

a busy one. Want a hand with that?

What, you're actually gonna

get wet today?

Make a bit of a change,

wouldn't it?

(laughs)

Woman:

Hey.

I bet you've never seen

one of these.

Josh:

What is it?

Wow.

Were you looking at my butt?

No.

- No?

- Maybe.

(woman laughs)

Aww.

You look terrible.

Thanks.

It's your brother's fault.

But you smell nice.

You always smell nice.

Woman:
Are you ready

to leave all this behind?

Where you go, I go.

Well, there won't be places like this

in Singapore.

Oh, we'll come back.

Lifeguard:

Sh*t.

Shark! Shark!

(voices shouting)

(siren blaring)

Get help!

Go get help!

Rory!

Get everyone out of the water!

Joe, give me a hand.

(yells)

Rory!

No!

Rory!

- Shark!

- I can't hear you.

- Shark!

- What?

Give me your hand.

Rory!

I got you. I got you.

No.

(howls)

No!

Along with

the yearly southern migration

of the humpback whales

along the East Coast waters,

"Surfline" surfing spokesman

Jeff Tripp said

people should be very vigilant

this time of year,

as we've seen large gatherings

of sharks in the waters

following the whales

along the coast.

Now, what they're doing

is hunting the whale calves

and bait fish

surrounding the migration.

TV reporter:
So if you are heading

to the beaches,

please observe the signs

and swim only between the flags.

Great whites are expected

in the area over the next month.

And now, on a brighter note,

it's been a picture-perfect day

here on the East Coast

with blue skies

as far as the eye can see.

TV reporter:

No signs improving

for the sailors

and the windsurfers, however.

We seem to be hit

with the doldrums,

which means there are

no surface winds.

(chimes tinkling)

(distant dogs barking)

(howling)

(birds screeching)

(crow cawing)

(seagulls squawking)

(crows cawing)

(screeches)

Man in hood:

We gotta move to the car park.

Can't stay here.

(engine starts)

(man announcing over PA)

Woman:

Yes, please.

- Josh:
Hey.

- Hey.

- Jessup come by yet?

- Not yet. You're safe.

Good morning, by the way.

Yeah.

(pop music playing)

Shake your body

Shake your body

Shake your booty...

(music stops)

Why are we stopping here?

- Hey, Kyle.

- Shh.

(keypad clicks)

You're bad.

- (dog whines)

- Woman:
Hey.

(dog yapping)

Shut up.

What are you doing here?

Woman:

You scared me.

Happy anniversary.

You remembered.

11 months, baby.

It's not very much. It's just a song

playlist for when we go to Sydney.

Thank you. Thank you.

Ooh, and...

happy anniversary

to you too.

- Tell me you didn't steal these.

- Oh, Ryan.

Yeah, okay, okay,

put them back.

But then I have

nothing to give you.

Doesn't matter.

It's the thought that counts.

Put them back, okay?

Come on.

Oops, I hope we're not

interrupting anything.

You know, that's a really

cool jacket.

Thanks.

Bet it's got lots of pockets, huh?

Mind if we take a little peek?

Ryan:

She's gonna pay for it.

Just take it out of my paycheck

if you don't believe me.

Paycheck?

You're living

in a dream world, kid.

You're fired.

And you-- shoplifting,

destruction of property.

I've already called the cops.

Did you see all those birds

this morning?

There must have been

thousands.

You know, there were crows

and magpies and everything.

When did you get back?

Tina, this is what you want?

Josh, this is--

Oh, Jesus.

Josh, look at you.

Go clean yourself up.

Jessup:

No, not the customer bathroom.

I got the call.

Oh, sh*t.

(dog yapping)

(Kyle moaning)

Kyle:

Whoa! Hello.

Man in hood:

You starting to hear something

stirring around

that head of yours?

The office is at the back

of the store.

Cash pickup's in 10 minutes,

so you've got five to get out.

(gun hammer clicks)

When this is done,

we're straight.

My brother's clean

and I don't want to ever see

your face around him again.

You understand me?

Man in hood:

Whatever you say.

(kisses)

(sighs)

I want her charged

this time.

She didn't steal this.

This is hers.

We both know you're not gonna

go through with it.

Just stop,

because I'm this close.

To what?

Arresting me?

Yeah, real A-plus

parenting, Dad.

- Jaimie, you're too smart to--

- Oh, you just dropped

to a C-minus

due to lack of originality.

Okay, okay, what about this?

I'm gonna process you

this time.

You can spend the day

in lockup.

And what do you think

that's gonna do?

Maybe it's the wake-up call

you need.

Piss off.

What do you think your mother

would have thought about all of this?

Piss off!

(sighs)

(car lock chirps)

Put that on.

That's it.

- Thanks.

- Great.

Jessup:

What the--?

Give me the money.

Sh*t, man, there's no money

in the safe.

Give me the money.

All right, just--

just take it easy, okay?

(beeping)

Jessup:

You see?

Where is it?

Cashier:
Do you want

a separate bag for that?

(c*cks gun)

Man in hood:

Hey, drop that f***ing gun...

- (woman screaming)

- ...or I'll do this b*tch!

Where's the money?

You-- I said,

put the guns down!

Put 'em down!

(knocks rhythmically)

(knocking)

Thank you.

My dad was totally--

Your dad's right, Jaimes.

Not you too.

I lost my job today

because of you.

Who cares?

You hated that job anyway.

I care. I care.

Well, if it's that important

to you,

I'll go get your

stupid job back, then.

- Jaimie, just--

- No. Watch.

Oi! Freak boy

from history class, right?

(laughs)

(engine grinds)

(sighs)

(engine grinds)

(plumbing groans,

sputters)

(gunshots popping)

(women screaming)

You, get here.

- Get here.

- Tina:
No.

You, get over there.

Stay back.

- No.

- Stay back.

Woman:

Do as you're told.

What the f*** did you do?

Tina:

Josh.

Get back.

Hood:
Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey.

Don't be a hero, mate.

Stay back.

Tina.

Josh:

No!

Hood:

Stop it.

(low rumbling)

Woman:

What was that?

(rattling)

What--?

Man:

Down! Down!

- Come on.

- (child screams)

(people shouting)

Oh.

Man on video:
I should know,

I built the store.

Woman:

Hurry up. This way.

Man:

Come on, come on!

Man:

Go! Run!

(gasps, screams)

(screams)

(crashes)

(wires fizzling)

(gasps)

Hey!

Over here!

Josh:

Have you seen anyone?

Anyone else?

Anyone?

Man:

I need help.

Anybody?

Help!

- Josh:
Hey.

- Here.

Where's Tina?

Where's Tina?

Jesus Christ.

Can you help him?

I don't know what to do.
