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.

I thought he loved me.

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

a trailer pretty soon.

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!
