Bazza, don't be a d*ckhead.

- See you later, sweetheart.

- [Men laugh]

[Men laughing]

[Ben] F***ing a**holes.

Bunch of morons. Honestly.

- Yeah. Forget about it, Ben.

- No, I should've smashed him.

- [Ben] I should've T'ai Ohi'd his ass.

- [Kristy laughs]

[Ben] I'm serious.

[Men chattering]

The weather's sh*t.

Yeah. All of a sudden.

I think it's the start

of the wet season, so...

[woman 1] That's beautiful

over there, isn't it?

That light coming up through

the mountains. It's gorgeous.

I hope it doesn't rain.

[Ben] what?

- I said I hope it doesn't rain.

- Man, it's gonna be cold tonight.

I mean cold.

Great.

[Kristy humming]

Hey, I think that's the start of it.

[Kristy] So it's in there?

You've got to climb over the top?

Um, yeah.

- [Thud]

- Aw!

- [Woman 1] What was that?

- Rock.

[Women laugh]

[Ben] There's just nothing out here.

[Kristy] I know. It's great.

[Ben] Here we go.

Wolf Oreek Orater!

- [Kristy] Orater! We're here!

- [Woman 1] Whoo!

[All] "Walking trail."

- [Ben] "Allow, three... Three hours."

- [Kristy] Three hours?

Is that three hours to get all the way

to the middle or to get up to the top?

- [Ben] I imagine it's to the top.

- [Woman 1] It's to the top.

[Ben] No camping. Hiking's allowed.

Put rubbish in your bin

and no fires. OK.

[Kristy] Right. Great. Let's go.

- [Ben] Wow. Madame.

- [Woman 1] Thank you.

- [Ben] Wolf Oreek awaits you.

- [Woman 1] Oh, wow!

[Ben] Wolf Oreek!

Wow.

[Squawking]

- It's a souvenir...

- [shrieks]

[Laughing]

[Thunder rumbling]

What is with this weather?

- Maybe we should take an umbrella.

- Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

What do you want to take?

- [Kristy] All of it.

- [Woman 1] All what's in the Esky.

- And who's carrying all of this?

- [Woman 1] You are. [chuckles]

- [Kristy] Just all of it.

- All right, three hours.

- Let's do it!

- [Woman 1] Let's go.

[Ben] Oh, wait.

[Kristy] Oh, there's poo everywhere!

Yay! We're on the poo planet.

[Kristy singing]

[Woman 1] There's another skull. Look.

They're bones!

Oh, my God, there's bones everywhere!

[Thunder rumbling]

[Ben] What are you doing?

It's not raining that bad.

[Kristy] Yeah, it is.

It's freezing. I've got no jumper.

- [Woman 1] Where did the meteorite go?

- [Ben] It's in the middle.

- [Woman 1] Just went into the ground?

- [Ben] Yeah.

Look how good it looks. Ooo-ooh!

Oome on!

Whoo!

Here.

You all right?

[Woman 1] Wow. That's impressive.

[Ben] You're looking at one of the

biggest meteorite craters on the planet.

They reckon the explosion

from the impact

would've been like 200 nuclear bombs

going off at the same time.

Some guys discovered it

scouting for an oil company in 1947.

Imagine being

the first person to see it.

Hey. Let's go.

[Ben] You all right?

[Rain falling]

- This is great, Ben.

- Yeah. Thank you.

It's fantastic. Thank you.

Such a sweetheart, aren't you?

Loving it.

Yeah. It's great. [laughs]

[Ben] Sorry. I didn't know.

It'll clear.

Give it a couple of hours.

[Kristy] Thank you.

Back soon.

Where are you going?

I wonder why the meteor hit here.

In this place. Nowhere else.

[Thunder clapping]

Maybe it was drawn

to something in the Earth.

- Like when lightning strikes.

- Hmm.

- Yeah?

- Hmm.

- Hi.

- Hey.

[Ben panting] That's awesome.

[Chuckles]

[Both laughing]

I was wondering what

that would be like.

[Woman 1] Kris, what's the time?

Uh, don't know.

Watch has stopped.

It's like Niagara Falls!

[Ben] Whoo!

[Shivering]

- Hey, have you got the time?

- Nah. It's busted.

I'd say it's about 7:00.

So about an hour till dark.

We'll make it back to Halls Oreek, easy.

Kristy's watch stopped too.

- Bullshit. Did it really?

- Yeah.

What, batteries or something?

[Woman 1] You got the keys?

[Laughing]

Make sure you warm her up first.

- [Ben] It's weird weather, eh?

- [Woman 1] Yeah, I reckon. God.

- [Keys jangling]

- [Ben] See you later, Wolf Oreek.

[Silence]

- What's wrong?

- I don't know.

Did we leave the lights on?

[Woman and Ben] No.

Is it... Is it in gear?

- [Ben] No. Try... Try again.

- [Key turning]

- [Ben] No. Try... Try again.

- [Key turning]

- [Silence]

- [Whispers] F***.

- [Sighing]

- [Ben] OK.

[Ben chuckles] Sh*t.

Uh, pop... Pop the hood.

It's probably just

the battery terminals.

[Ben] This one...

[muttering under breath]

Do you know what you're looking for?

[Laughing]

[Kristy] Oh...

Are you gonna tell Liz?

[Chuckles] I've got a feeling

she already knows.

I'll go see what I can do.

- [Mumbles]

- [Kristy] Did you hear that?

- [Ben] You didn't leave the lights on?

- No.

No.

F***er.

Looks like we might be

spending the night.

- This is f***ed.

- [Door slams]

[Low] B*tch.

[Thunder rumbling]

[Makes whooshing sounds]

I am your father.

[Breathes noisily]

[Sighs]

[Ben] Do you think it means anything?

I mean, the watches

and the car not working.

- What do you mean?

- [Ben] Well...

You know the stories I was telling you

last night about the UFOs and stuff.

And when they were around,

well, things stopped working.

[Ben] Oould be the same kind of thing.

Ben, I really don't think we need to be

talking about that right now.

OK.

There's something out there.

- And it ain't no man.

- No, no. I saw some lights.

- [Ben] Where?

- Right... Right there.

- [Kristy] There.

- [Ben] What the hell?

No, no, no.

Don't f***ing... What?

- [Kristy] It might be a car!

- Well, it might not be a car!

- [Ben] That don't look like no car.

- [Liz] Sh*t. It's coming this way.

F***, it is coming this way. Sh*t.

- [Kristy] F***!

- [Ben] F***. It is coming this way.

- Should we run?

- [Ben] No, no, no!

Just stay in the car! Don't move.

Hold on.

Hang on, it's a car.

[Kristy] How do you know?

It's a bloody car! Sh*t!
