Tomorrow, When the War Began Page #3
Corrie, c'mon! Please! Please.
Come on.
- Where are they now?
- I don't know. -Guys!
Kevin! Oh my God!
What happened to you?
I thought that you're ahead of me,
so I just... I just ran.
Ellie said that if anything
was to happen to run.
- Oh my God!
- Go!
C'mon, c'mon...
Let's go.
- I hurt my knee.
- C'mon, we gotta keep moving.
- Are you alright?
- No. I cut it. Jesus!
Give me your shirt. Quick.
Singlet, it's better. Quick.
Get me a stick or something.
Stay here.
Ellie, hurry up!
Quick, get back!
- Will this do?
- Yeah, quick.
- Ellie, they are coming.
- Alright.
Light it.
Light it.
Corrie, we gotta get out of here.
Get up, c'mon. Ellie, let's go!
Hang up.
She wasn't much older than I was.
And she looked just as scared.
I'll never forget her.
- Ellie, we don't have time.
- Come on!
Thank God!
We heard an explosion.
- Yeah, that was us.
- Are you alright? -Yeah.
Flip! There he is. Good boy!
Where did all those
soldiers come from?
Where did you get this thing?
Wait, where's Robyn and Lee?
- They haven't come back yet.
- It's almost 6 a.m.
We were just about
to give up on all of you.
- We have to go and find them
then, don't we? - Ellie...
- Homer, we have to go find them.
- It's daylight now.
- I'm not leaving them.
- We're not leaving them.
We'll come back tonight
when it's safer.
Yeah cause there'll be soldiers
crawling all over town by now.
I mean... after what you did.
We will find them.
Ellie, I promise.
El... El... come on.
- Wait, just...
- No, don't touch me.
- Sit down over there.
- Are you alright?
- I'll get us some food.
- Thank you.
- So, any idea whose army it is?
- We didn't exactly stop to ask.
We'll ask Robyn. She's good
with flags and things like that.
- All I can say is they are not greek.
- It doesn't matter who they are,
because they're here.
We just got to deal with it.
Alright, mate. Calm down.
No, seriously, what difference
does a flag make?
Fi made this for you.
- Yeah.
There are soldiers everywhere.
We crawled all the way
back to Robyn's.
Not bad for a first date.
The others told me what happened.
El.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's theirs.
It's all theirs.
- You're changing.
- Yeah?
- For better or worse?
- Better. Definitely better.
Looks good.
Fi'd always say
she'd be a doctor.
You're gonna have to forgive him
sooner or later, you know.
He just left us, Ellie.
He just ran and left us.
Do you remember how many
hours we used to spend up here?
You mean the tea parties?
We were so innocent
back then. And now I...
I feel like we were innocent
right up until yesterday.
We didn't believe in Santa Claus
or anything like that.
You know, we believed
in other fantasies.
We believed we were safe.
I guess that was the biggest
fantasy of them all, right?
Do you ever think we'll see
Robyn and Lee again?
That's one of ours!
How many planes do we have?
One less now.
How's this?
I'm going to Wirrawee with Ellie
and we look for Robyn and Lee.
You three go back to my place
and load up the Landrover.
Seems a hell of a risk
going back into Wirrawee.
What if it was you
they're going back for?
- Don't ask me to go with you.
- He's not.
Good, because
I'm not bloody going.
Jesus, Kevin. Everything is
a risk from now on.
We can't sit around here forever.
The biggest risk is to take no risk.
Alright. But if we can't stay here
where do you want us all to go?
Hell.
- We're not taking your teddies.
- Not all of them, just one.
- We can't take things like that.
- Why can't we?
This isn't a picnic, El. We have
to start acting like soldiers.
One mistake and... it's all over.
- Can we take my mom's crowns and sashes?
- Yeah, and photos. Don't forget photos.
Geez, we're gonna need
Look, if you can take teddies,
crowns and photos,
I might aswell take my dad's
bloody football trophies.
Oh, and dog food for Flip.
Lots of dog food. Write that down.
- He can eat rabbit.
- What about wire cutters?
Now that's a great idea.
Two T's.
- What about guns?
- We'll take our own guns.
- Just turn it off.
- No, I can fix this. Hang on.
The pipe's burst again.
So, we've got plenty of
ammo for the rifles,
and a full magazine for that.
I got it!
What's that?
We forgot to have someone on watch.
Don't touch the curtains.
Spread out!
Go into different rooms.
If you see anything, yell out.
But stay hidden.
Flip!
Flip, get inside!
It's here!
- Did they see you?
- I don't know.
Homer!
Ellie!
Stay still!
Good thing you're so skinny.
Hey guys, I think it's coming back.
Flairs. They're marking the house.
- Thanks a lot, Homer.
- No one asked your opinion, mate.
- They know we're here now. - Of course they
know. They saw us through the window.
But they didn't know we had guns!
Let's get out of here.
C'mon, let's get out of here, now!
Go, go, go...
Go, go, move it!
Run!
- Run!
- Flip!
- Leave him!
- No!
Homer was right.
Hell was the only
safe place for us now.
But first we had to find
Robyn and Lee.
- What's wrong?
- The Heron Bridge!
Jesus, look at them all.
They are coming up from
Cobbler's Bay.
I bet you this is one of
the first places they captured.
It's probably
Yeah. And our bridge
gives them direct access to it.
I've always hated that bridge.
Come on, we have to
get to Robyn's house.
Robyn!
Ellie?
- How did you know it was her?
- That's her dad's walking stick.
What was she gonna do,
beat us with it?
Ellie, thank God!
- Are you hurt?
- No, no, I'm fine.
Where is Lee?
He's been shot.
Wait here a minute.
Someone should go with her.
All clear. Let's go.
Robyn. Go, go, go...
- Don't point that thing at me.
- This is dr Clement.
It's okay, he's my dentist.
- Dr Clement, it's me. It's Robyn.
- Quiet down, the lot of you.
Don't you know there's
Shine that here.
- How is it? - He was lucky.
The bullet went right through.
- Thank you. - You picked the hell
of a weekend to go camping.
We heard the planes,
but we didn't see any...
That's how they did it.
Freighter planes and container ships.
Took all the ports and runways
in the first 24 hours.
News said there was some
kind of explosion at the airfield.
None of us paid much attention to it.
Next thing you know,
they are rolling across the bridge
in their tanks and trucks,
rounding up everyone, taking
them all to the Showground.
Lee's whole family.
Yours too.
- And mine? - Yours I don't
know anything about.
What about my parents?
George and Martha Yannos.
- Did they ever get
their teeth fixed? - No.
- Then how the hell would I know who
they are? - I was just asking, doc.
I've been hiding in the closet
living in my own piss and sh*t, just
waiting for them to come and find me.
