Thanks for coming tonight.

People love you

and they need all the

enjoyment they can get, right?

First the factory closes,

and then this damn bypass.

Uh, we all hope you aren't out there

helping in the construction too much.

- Uh...

- Right? Are you?

Uh, how's the, uh, the head?

You gonna be

all right tonight?

Don't, uh, don't

kill yourself out there.

- I won't.

- You, you know... you know what I meant.

- [crowd cheering]

- [announcer] And good evening,

ladies and gentlemen,

girls and boys,

you're with Seth Grimes

from 97.1,

the Country Smile on your dial.

Catch me 7:
00 to 11:00 weekdays.

Now it's a perfect evening

for our own Drop Bears

to take on the Kookaburras

in this match for charity.

Oh, wait, hold the phone,

ladies and gentlemen.

We have a, uh, special player

out on the field tonight.

A blast from the past,

the big man himself,

put your hands together for the

ex-captain, Matty Simmons.

- Go, Matty! Whoo!

- [cheering]

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

[cheering, applause]

Go, Matty!

Hey, big man. I think

you, uh, forgot your helmet.

That's funny.

Look, mate, there's a talent

scout up here from Melbourne,

so just stay out of my way,

all right?

[cheering]

- [whistles]

- D*ckhead.

Okay, bring it in, lads!

Bring it in.

I don't know why, why we

let her run off on her own.

Because it's Bella.

What, do you think we're gonna find her under

the grandstand making out with the town hunk?

- No.

- Mom, look.

Anyway, maybe I'll have

a look around for her.

I'll meet you guys

back at the van.

Okay. Bye.

[announcer]

And there's the bounce.

- Simmons takes it in hand.

- [cheering]

[announcer] Big kick there

from Jimmy Stiles.

[cheering]

[shouting]

Get up! Get up, baby!

[announcer] Flying above the

pack there, Jackson! Amazing.

And makes no mistake putting it

through the sticks.

Simmons a little slow to warm up this

quarter, but there's more to come.

Yes!

- Look, you get the teddy bear.

- Thank you.

[man] Everyone's a winner.

[woman] Yeah. Cocktails.

[announcer] Looks like the Kookaburras

are starting to take control.

- [cheering]

- Simmons, pick it up!

- Okay, go.

- Ready?

- [whistle blows]

- Oh!

- Sh*t.

- What the hell was that?

- Piss off, blondie.

- What?

Whoa. And there's some heated words

there from the old and new captains.

- There's...

- You two break it up. Come on.

We're down by two.

[Peter]

Oh, Bella, there you are.

Have you any idea how

worried your mom is?

I texted her.

Town has no reception.

Well, look, for the rest of the trip,

let's just stay together, okay?

No wandering off

on your own.

Think you can just come back into our

lives and start telling us what to do?

[crowd silences]

What? What's happened?

[sighs] Charity gigs.

No more, Seth. No more.

[loud rumbling]

[explosions]

What? What's this? Do you

know anything about this?

No, not at all.

Marcus, what is that?

Take cover!

[screaming]

Stay! Stay here!

Stay here! Matt!

Vanessa, stay there!

Run, Jimmy!

Go, go, go, go! Go!

- [grunts]

- [screaming]

Matt! Matt!

Marcus!

- Amelia!

- Marcus, come here!

[speaking in alien language]

[screaming, shouting]

Come on. Hey, this way.

- [Peter] Bella!

- Daddy!

Bella!

Bella, Bella, let's run!

Let's go!

- Marcus. What the...?

- Where's your mom? Where's Helen?

- Where's your mom?

- Ah!

- Mom!

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

- Where's your mom? Sh*t.

- Mom, Mom!

[speaking alien language]

Mom! Matt, Matt, let me go!

Let me... Mom!

- Mom!

- Let's go.

[speaking alien language]

[screaming]

Get out of there!

Move, move!

- Where are we gonna go?

- Anywhere but here, kid.

Sh*t!

[Bella] Hey! Hey!

Come here! Hey, guys!

This way!

Jenny! Samuel!

- Matty, Matty!

- I'm shot.

You gotta help me. What if it's an artery?

I'm bloody toast.

- Hey, is this your van?

- Yeah.

- Jenny! Samuel!

- Let's go, let's go.

Peter! Peter! Dad!

Hey, is that your daughter?

We gotta go! Let's go!

Yeah. I told them to meet me back here.

I can't leave without them!

Hey, I promise you I'll help you

get the rest of your family back,

- but right now we need to go.

- [Bella] Dad!

Or she is dead!

Ah! Dad!

Get in.

Saddle up.

[screaming]

Amelia! Come on!

[shouting]

Close that!

Close that!

- Vanessa! Come on!

- Come on, man! Start the car!

Yeah, man.

I'm doing my best with this.

[engine revs]

- Vanessa!

- Amelia!

Over here! Wait!

Come on!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

We're getting close!

- Jimmy!

- No!

Jimmy! Jimmy, come on!

[screaming] Jackson! Jackson, please!

Jackson, we have to go!

- Jimmy!

- Please, Jackson, leave him!

No, I can't just leave him!

Jimmy!

Jackson, get up! Please!

Come on. Now!

- [whispers] Jimmy.

- Get in! Get in!

Sh*t.

[shouts]

Go! Go!

Get out of here!

Careful!

Whoa! Let's go!

Wait a minute! Get out of the way!

I've got this!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

[screaming]

Get out of the way.

[screaming]

Left, left, left!

- Hey, what's your name?

- Peter.

- You sure about this, Peter?

- I hope so.

- Hold on.

- [Peter] Oh, sh*t.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- No, it's okay, it's okay.

I'm a nurse. Vanessa.

Seth, 97.1, you know,

the country smile on your dial.

- Sorry, I don't...

- Oh, that's all right. No one does. [grunts]

Can someone tell me

what the hell is going on?

- [static]

- It's a terrorist attack.

Hey, babe, you okay?

You hurt?

- Sh*t. I don't like the look of this.

- Oh, crap!

- What do we do now?

- Keep going!

- Did anyone see that?

- Sh*t, it's behind us!

- Can this thing go any faster?

- This is going faster.

Oh, my God! We're doomed!

- [gunfire]

- That was Air Force, one of ours.

Keep the engine running.

Move.

Hey, whoa, whoa.

Hey, do you think

this is a good idea,

just stopping out

here in the middle,

in the, like, in the open,

in the... Jesus.

[Matt] Jesus.

- What are you looking for?

- Markings.

Pilot.

What if the

pilot's still alive?

I don't think

that's gonna be a problem.

Why not?

It's not a man.

Drone, maybe.

[Marcus] Matt! Amelia!

[Matt] Get back in the van.

- What are you doing?

- You staying? You coming? What's going on?

- Dude, crap or get off the pot.

- Matt.

Just drive. Drive.

Leave him.

[Arnold] Matt?

Matt, is that you?

Oh.

Bloody good to see you.

We're all up sh*t creek

now, eh, boys?

Dennis?

What the hell are you doing

in the back of Arnold's Ute?

Do you have any idea how hard it is

to jump in the back of a moving car?

- Are you hurt?

- Huh?

- That's not mine.

- [Arnold] Hey, I know you.

You stole my fruit

two weeks ago, didn't you?

Boy, if I ever

bloody catch you...

Are you seriously blowing up over some

fruit after what we've just seen?

Besides, I know

where we can hide.

Come on, then.

Good luck.

We'll follow you.

[aircraft whooshing overhead]

[Arnold] Hey!

I used the bypass.

It is quicker.

Hey, you okay?

- Ness, talk to me.

- They just started shooting.

- I know, babe.

- Everyone, our friends, Jimmy.
