- Which witch can ride a broom?

Which witch.

♪ Mornin', is risin' ♪

- There once was a witch called lil

who had an incredible skill.

Her husband would wait
in the bed until late.

While she would sneak out to kill.

Kill!

Kill!

Or maybe toil and trouble?

Lil,

come on back to bed.

I can help you find your inner witch.

- I'm working, Perry.

- At 3:30 in the morning?

Didn't you know that
work hours generally

extend from nine A.M. till six P.M.

Or maybe seven.

- Knowing Casey, she's
gonna arrive really early.

Spect all of this to
be really polished.

- Lil, she knows we've gotta fire.

- You don't know her, Perry.

She's

- I know you.

And I know what your thinking.

- You wish.

Which witch is in the flat?

She really needs a hat.

(Light music)

(Cows moo)

- Oh.

- What?

- Casey is walking up
our very own hill.

- Shit!

- I gotta go get changed.

- Oh!

What about me?

- Oh.

- Shit!

Shit!

Hang on!

Very funny.

- Ah!

Casey!

- My god!

This country life's a bit flawed.

I couldn't even get my car up the hill.

- Casey, this is magnificent.

- So when do you people get
dressed in the country?

- You're pretty bloody early.

- Ah now...

- I thought we should
get an early start.

But, uh, I brought lots of goodies.

- And a couple of bottles
of yummy wine for later.

Why don't I show you around.

- Right.

I'll put these away.

- You were really lucky.

- Mm, I think it was one
of the most indescribable

moments of my life.

- That's not like you.

And you're really gonna rebuild?

- Yep.

We have professional help this time.

Hey patto, this is a
friend of mine, Casey.

- Hi.

- Casey, where's the sunshine band?

(Laughing)

So is that your car
parked down the drive?

- Yes.

I couldn't get it up that bloody hill.

- Just need to reverse
the front wheel drive ta

get 'em up the hill like that.

I can show you later if you want.

- Well, that'd be good, patto, thanks.

- So, where's your ol' man?

- He'll be out in a minute.

- Wow!

This is pretty incredible.

This is supposed to be
living someone's dream, heh?

- Yep, mine.

'Bout time you made it up here.

Take you for a proper
walk after breakfast,

show you 'round.

- Eh, this is fine.

Gotta very good visual right here.

'Sides, we've gotta work, work, work.

- My god, Casey, you've
only just arrived.

We're gonna eat some of that
yummy food you brought up.

Then we're going to break
the comfort zone, Casey.

We're going to walk, walk, walk.

- Uh.

(Laughing)

- Svetti?

What are you doin' watchin' TV?

Guys, where's your mother?

Carter?

- Gone.

- Gone where?

- Spending uncle Jeff's money.

- [Cartoon] I simply cannot
render your likeness with

you squirreling so.

- Did she leave a note or something?

Guys!

- Dad!
- Dad!

- I want some answers.

Why aren't ya dressed for school?

- Because mom isn't here.

- Well, where is she?

Did she say when she
was gonna come back?

What the bloody hell does that mean?

- Don't know, dad.

- Uh, okay.

I need you guys dressed
and ready for school

in five minutes.

Starting from now!

Go!

Go!

(Light music)

Two days.

Shit, svetti.

(Dialing tones)

- Hello.

- Yeah, Jeff, it's backa.

Can you pick up the kids
after school today?

- What happened to their parents?

- Ah, just, got a lot on.

I gotta meet with Bryce
when I get back here

in time for the two of
us when it comes to it,

I've gotta back hoeing job.

I'm gonna meet a guy about
joining up, you know.

- Do they still have a mother?

- Yeah, she's just, she's not around.

Can you do it or not, Jeff?

- What time do you want them back?

- You know, just
sometime before dinner.

Thanks.

- My name is svlitlana Burke.

I have a booking.

- Sure.

One moment please.

Yes, Ms. Burke.

I just need a credit
card imprint please.

- I wanna pay cash.

- Sure.

- I pay for my own now, okay?

(Speaking in foreign language)

(Light music)

(Papers rustling)

- Hello?

Room service?

Oh, okay.

This is room 702.

Um, is the caviar real,
or is it cod fish roe?

Okay.

And do you have any blinis?

Blinis.

No, not beans.

Blinis?

B-l-i-n-i-s.

Okay, ask the chef.

And ask him about the caviar too.

(Truck rumbles)

- You wanna talk to me
about somethin', backa?

- Have you spoken to svetti lately?

- She taken off?

- Yeah.

You don't know where I
can find her, do ya?

- I know she needed some time out.

That'd be good for you guys.

- Thanks, Beck.

I'd better get going.

I'll see ya.

(Truck starts)

(Light music)

- Stacey.

- What?

When'd you get back?

- Couple of days ago.

Been stayin' out at
nom McKinley's place.

He lent me his caravan for a while.

- Yeah, right.

- Is that bracelet new?

- I got baptized for dad.

I'm late cause of the trauma session.

- Do you wanna catch up later?

- Yeah, maybe in about five years.

- You can't cut me out like that, Fifi.

- Yeah, well, you can't
just run away, come back

and think that everything's
gonna be the same, Joey.

Let go.

(Truck rumbles)

(Horn beeping)

- I gotta couple of hours
work at the Robinsons.

Could use your help.

- When's it for?

- Now.

- We can pick up the
backhoe on the way out.

- Can't you get someone else to do it?

- Well, yeah.

I probably could.

But I'm asking you.

- Geez, backa, all right.

(Door slams)

- I could do without the attitude.

So luisa fella's screamin' at him,

tryin' to get him to stop.

Mike shows up.

Says he's gonna shoot the dog.

- Mike did?

- Yeah.

To stop eris.

Anyway, it must've worked out,

cause neither of them
shot the bloody dog.

Mike managed to get him
in the car and take

him back to station.

- Guess that led eris right
to luisa, didn't we?

- Uh, dog's run off now I can find it.

Bloody true magician.

That shit can really effect people, eh?

- He's lucky he had a
dog to take it out on.

- You alright, Joey?

You know Fifi's gone through a bit,

and so are you.

But it's tough to be the one left

when someone takes off.

- I don't want to talk about
me and Fifi, all right?

- Okay, sure.

I reckon this one's a go.

Now you can do the
next one if you like.

You know I remember when svetti
was pregnant with Carter?

I never used to know whether
to hug her or hide in a hole.

- Geez, backa, what do ya on about me?

- Sometimes I wish the
old man was still alive.

You woulda listen to him.

(Engine starts up)

(Television starts up)

(Relaxing music)

- Lind do.

Lent.

Lind do,

shut.

00:15:32,969 --> 00:15:34,136
And champaign.

- When I first came up here,

it was like you could cough
and hear bird sounds.

I know that sounds really boring, but

when you start to recognize
each different one,

or each different plant...

Is this really boring?

- No!

- Yes.

Look, I can see that you're so cute.

And it's terrible that
you had that fire.

And I'm sorry to come up
here and hassle you about

a deadline, but we've
got an international

publisher interested.

You could make a real
career out of book

illustration, you know.

- I know.

Don't move.

- Lil, I'm serious!

- I know.

- What?

- It's just a leach.

- What!

- Stand still, Casey!

Casey stand still!

Come on, stand still.

There.

- Oh my god!

Look at my shoes!

- It's just the leaches.

Come on, we better go back.

- Ah!

- You right?

- Get them off me!

- Okay, where ya cigarettes?

- Ah, yeah.

They're in my bag.

I definitely need a fag.

You've got one.

Run me your phone.

- So do you.

- Ah.

- To the leaches.

What?

- You just burn them off like that?

You're just disgusting, you know?

How could you be this stuff.

- Stop being so pathetic.

- Just get them off me.

- Uh, I was, uh, just gonna
make myself a cup o' tea.

I'll come back later.

(Laughing)

- They're crafty little buggers.

They get inside your pants.

- You've done a very good job
with the shed, you know.

- Mm

- don't know why you wanna
live in mud bricks.

Imagine it's some kinda me Tarzan
and you Jane sort a thing.

- Mud brick houses like
normal houses, Casey.

- Yeah, I know.

Pretty funny, though.

Perry as Tarzan.

- Oh wait, watch it.

Outta the way.

- Where are the drawings?

- Okay.

They're on that bottom shelf.

Over there.

But I think we should discuss an actual

schedule for this.

- Yeah.

Just hurry up and do 'em.

- Well, that' helpful.

(Phone beeping)

- Hello.

Hi peg.

No, I can't right now.

All right.

Okay, I'll be there
in about 20 minutes.

Bye.

Ah, Casey, there's this old woman

called peg has hurt her
leg and can't drive.

And I'm the designated driver, so, um,

apparently she doesn't have
any food in the house.

I'm gonna have to take her shopping.

- Well, why didn't you just
tell her that you were working?

- I have to do it.

Sorry.

Look we'll do this when we come back.

She's a real trip.

(Car running)

(Door shuts)

- You can stay in the car.

- Have a nice country life.

- He wasn't trying to shoot luisa.

He was tryin' ta shoot the bloody dog.

And seein' as you guys
don't know anything

about what happened, I think
you should shut your mouths

and stop telling stories about it.

I loved that dog like a kid.

- What's that for?

- I though you could put
your groceries in it.

- I don't need a basket.

I need a trolley.

- Toot toot.

Hi mena, how are you?

- Ah, good thanks.

I look, I hope they didn't
put you off the cwa.

- No, but I have joined
the fire brigade.

- Ah, well, you should come
back to another meeting

soon anyways.

You're an artist, aren't you?

We've got an excellent
arts and crafts meet

coming up next week.

We're thinking about
having a Chilean day.

Do you know anything about Chile?

- Ah, pena shae?

- Would've been quicker to
have got the trolley myself.

Mena, would you mind helping
me with my trolley please?

- If you have any more
thoughts about Chile,

let me know.

(Trolley rattles)

- I think I'm supposed
to wait in the car too.

- Talk about which witch
has lost her hat?

How'd ya get roped into that job?

- Don't ask.

- Hey, what's with the fugly posters?

- You don't wanna know.

- Yeah, I do.

- Well, I don't know the whole story.

But, this guy, eris,
is a veggie gardener.

And apparently his dog, fugly,
went berserk and dug up

all the garden, so he was pretty upset.

Pulled out a gun and
tried to shoot him.

He missed him, so then his
wife chased after fugly

through town, trying to shoot
him and she got arrested.

- Wow!

This place is real redneck territory.

Well, are you gonna
start carrying a gun?

- This guy's a bit upset.

He went through that
burn and everything.

- If you'd have been in a burn out,

would you pull out a gun and
try 'n shoot something?

Hmm, I feel a story coming on.

Move over mugly.

Here comes fugly! - Here comes fugly.

(Laughing)

(Birds chirping)

- Fifi's not here, Joey.

- I came to talk to you.

- Me?

- Yeah.

- What, man to man?

- Yeah, sorta.

I just wanted to know if I could ask,

you know, well, what me and Fifi were.

I know you know she's pregnant.

I just wanted to...

- Spit it out, Joey.

- Is Fifi all right?

- Yeah.

She's pretty good.

- Good, cause I wanna do the
right thing by her, you know.

- And what's that, Joey?

- I came back for her.

- Good.

Well, what do you want me to say?

Welcome to the family?

She'll be all right, mate.

bedford any more.

- Well, what if he changes his mind?

It's gonna be a bloody big year, Bryce.

We need everything we've

- [Bar tender] Good evening, madam.

What can I get for you?

- I'd like a bottle of bollinger.

- Are you Spanish?

- No, I'm Russian.

- You're not gonna pay
for that champaign.

Put it on my tab, buddy.

- I will pay.

We can share it.

- What's you're name?

- Svlitlana.

- John O'Conner.

- I'm Angus.

Call me Reggie.

You got to come join us.

Have a skeed of those men over there.

The bloke here, that's Sean.

The one on his left is Dan the man.

And that little fellow
there, that's Brandon.

Yeah, and after you find
we're all happily married,

well, except Dan the man, but
I'll protect you from him.

So what's a Russian doin'
in this bloody hick town?

- Good question.

Can I get a glass?

- [Bartender] Certainly.

- What are you doing in this hick town?

- Well, we're making a
shit load of money.

That's what we're doing.

- You must be very clever
to make shit load of money

in fox cove.

- You know anything about
the hotel business?

- Well, we do.

This hotel days are number.

That's for sure.

- It's easy money business buddy.

We'll be getting all types of tourist

flocking to deep creek.

Come on.

Come and join us.

- We'll be puttin' deep creek
on the Australian map.

- It's gotta be bigger than that, mate.

Spa resorts are what
they're talkin' about

all over the world.

- Sounds interesting to me.

- Well, we haven't signed yet.

But we're pretty bloody close.

Being Russian, you'd
know all about spies.

What we're really interested
in, is finding out how you

came to arrive in this
god-forsaken place.

Wanna join us over
there for some chips?

- Backa?

- Thanks, uncle Jeff.

Sorry I'm late.

- Where's the Russian?

She left?

- She's out for the night.

- Did you see if her
passport was missing?

You okay?

Do you want me to take the
kids back to my place tonight?

- No.

No, it's fine.

Jeff, I can look after my own kids.

- I'll leave you to it.

- Hi, dad.

- What you watchin'?

- Dad?

- Yeah?

- You gotta help me with my work.

- Right.

- Mom?

- Yeah, she's not here, darlin'.

- When's she coming home?

- When's dinner?

- Ah, just, watch some TV
for a second, darlin'.

I'll fix us dinner in a minute.

(Electric buzzing)

- We gotta blackout, dad.

- Did you do that, Perry?

- Where is he?

- He could be in a scary movie.

Perry?

Ah!

Don't do that!

(Laughing)

Turn the lights back on.

- Hey, I didn't turn them
off in the first place.

They're probably just a fuse.

Where's the torch?

- A lot of missed country life.

- There we are.

Go on, I'm going to trip the fuse box.

- Could be more than a fuse.

Microwave's off too.

Some candles up here somewhere.

- Fuse box is all right.

- Sorry about this, Casey.

- Seems to be a conspiracy.

Did you call up energy Australia?

- Ah, good to see you have a
cool head in a crisis, Casey.

- Ah, just when I thought I was going

to see the witch's hat.

- Here I can't get the pad, hey.

Give me the torch back.

- Oh, it's a recorded message.

Apparently, there's been
some problems in the area.

Hope to have the power back
on in the next few hours.

- Great!

There goes dinner.

- I'm starving!

Where is there somewhere
else we can eat?

- We could go to the ballo.

They'll have a generator.

- Mm.

- We could have the blackout special.

You, you have to stay in the car.

(Laughing)

- G'day, g'day.

- Backa.

- Backa, this is my friend, Casey.

- Hey.

How's it goin'?

You get caught by the blackout too?

- Yes, and everyone
else in for the moment.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Backa.

- Sharpie.

You know lil and Perry?

- G'day lil, Perry.

I'm sharpie.

His girlfriend, noodle.

And I think you know Fifi.

- Hi.

- G'day, Casey.

Where's your sunshine band?

(Laughing)

- I think I might grab
that table over there.

Hey, you guys wanna come?

We can play I spy.

Should be fun in a place like this.

- Hey, is svetti back?

- Who's missin'?

- Eris.

- You see, that's what
happens when you get a dog.

I know how he feels.

I woulda shot it myself.

- Yeah, I heard about that.

What's the story?

- You guys got nothing
else to talk about?

- What?

- Gossip and small towns,
not a good mix down.

- Well, this is some big night out.

Lucky I dressed up.

- I've got different
priorities to you Casey.

- Careful, Casey, this is lil's friends

you're talking about.

- Very funny.

- I spy with my little eye,

something beginning with qua.

- Come on patto, don't
give us a chance.

- I was just going out for now.

- Um,

- Yes.

- Okay, Carter, you have a go.

- G'day.

I heard you were joining the rfs.

- Yes.

- 'Scuse me, have you
seen eris or luisa?

- They've gone into hiding.

- Same as fugly.

- I love this fugly stuff.

(Laughing)

(Beeping)

- Ah, I outta go organize the kids.

I'll see you there, mate.

- Is that a fire call?

- Yeah.

- Can me and Casey come?

- No.

- We'll stand in the background.

- Thanks, lil, but I have
no interest in putting

out a fire.

- K, Carter, candy,
you're gonna have and go

spend the night with sharps, okay?

I'm sorry.

- We can look after them.

- Is that all right?

- Yeah, sure.

- Well, just me then.

- No, you've gotta do
but the far, far...

- I promise you won't
even know I'm there.

- Yeah, okay.

Come on, let's go.

- Hello, earth to lil,

don't take this personally, Casey.

- Sorry.

Sorry, Casey, you don't mind do you?

You'll take good care of him.

- That's when I realized I was
in the middle of this forest.

This is very scary.

(Whistles)

I was lucky, I found a road in an hour

and then a trolley bus.

Took your shin off.

- So you're not a Russian gymnast.

You're not a Russian bride.

- Don't tell me all Russian
men are alcoholic,

women are prostitute.

Who do you smile in this cliche?

- Well, you can't go.

- I'm just going to go to the bathroom.

- I hope you come back.

(Lively music)

- You wanna call a day?

- Um, actually, I'm nearly finished.

- Come to my room when you finish.

- Well, what do you want me to do?

- Nochnaya babochka

- noch nye...

- Babochka.

Night butterfly in Russian.

- Night butterfly.

- I'll take the cat Steven, patto.

You'll have to take the bedford.

Right.

- Joey didn't respond to the call.

- What?

Backa, backa what are you doing?

- I'm gettin' the crew together.

- No, you know what I mean.

It's not like we need a spare hand.

- She's comin' with us.

It'd be quicker if you helped.

- This is your call, backa.

- Could you just tell me where to find

a pair of boots that'll fit her?

- No.

I don't wanna stake my medal.

- Well then just go to the
open rowanoe will ya?

Patto what's happening?

- Can't get the bedford started.

- Well, where the hell is eris?

- Who knows?

- You'll have to drive us then.

Okay, right behind me.

(Light music)

(Speaking in a foreign language)

- Fox cove to seven this

- Have we got a powerline
down on tusa road,

just off fox cove road.

We got several spot fires started

just around the area.

- Now it's safe?
- No.

We're gonna need country energy to

turn off the power asap.

- Copy that, life saver seven,

fox cove two are already on their way.

(Door slams)

- Okay, keiran, Elly,
I need witches hats

around the live area here.

Make sure that nobody
gets within five meters

of the power line.

Hey Pete, can you take the pc,

run traffic control.

Lil, grab a torch and
stay right out the back.

Don't get anywhere near the powerline.

Lil, treat the area around
if as if it's live.

That goes for everybody here,

please just stay right away
from the powerline area.

Patto, grab a crew.

Take the cat seven.

Tear down this track here.

- Watch your backs!

- Get around the back of
the fire and deal with it.

- Okay, I gotta back up.

- Thank you.

Lil!

Get out of there now!

Ah, they shut it down.

You okay?

Okay.

Ali, take her down to where Fifi is.

Get her to help with traffic
control, all right?

(Sirens blaring)

- Oh, what a bloody idiot!

- Don't worry about it.

I once pulled a beehive
down on top of me.

(Sirens screaming)

- [Firefighter] I'm on it,
fif, I'll deal with that.

- Have you notified country energy?

- Who do you reckoned
turned the power off?

- Yeah, well I don't want
to see anyone within

five meters of these power lines.

- Okay, why don't you
listen to what I tell you

to do.

Get your crew back in the truck.

Get around to that side of the fire

and deal with it, okay?

Now would be good.

- Hey guys, come on.

- Over there, mate?

- That guy is an idiot.

- [Firefighter] Back, tell
that guy the other side.

(Fire crackling)

Give us more hose.

- Keiran, tell that guy finish off

where Roy is.

- Which witch.

(Mumbling)

(Fire crackling)

- You're a bit bloody late.

- Yeah.

- [Backa] Yeah, you guys carry on.

I gotta go and get my kids.

- Whatdya go and talk to my dad for?

- I've just been feeling
a bit bad lately.

- [Backa] Are you coming?

Coming with me, Fifi?

- Just a sec.

You know what, Joey, the burn over

wasn't your fault.

- I reckon there's somethings
that are my fault.

And I just gotta work out
which ones they are.

- [Backa] Fifi?

- Yeah.

- See ya.

- Yeah.

(Laughing)

- Darling?

Hey, what happened?

- I'm the bimbo from hell.

I almost got myself killed.

- Ah.

- I'm sorry, again.

I know I've said it a hundred times.

But I am.

And I shouldn't a forced
you into taking me.

I'm never gonna be a good firefighter.

- She likes to punish herself.

- And she's good at it.

- How are you two?

- We've been bonding.

- I would hate to think what you've

been bonding about.

- Well, for starters,
we've written a story

among other things.

And it's called, fugly is an ugly dog.

Fugly is an ugly dog.

People will talk about
him whenever they can.

'Cause even though he's ugly,

everyone's a fan.

He's very clever.

Just take it from me.

Cause we've never seen him, you see.

Not ever.

- Ah!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

- Who wants a glass of wine?

- Actually, you know what?

Not for me.

Well, thanks for looking after them.

I just, I'm gonna grab
'em and get going.

- Right, yeah.

I'll get Carter.

- Thank you.

Comin'?

Are you okay?

- Mm hmm.

Don't forget my story.

- Eh?

- Don't forget my story.

- Ah, right.

Thanks.

- You're not gonna get into
trouble for taking me, are you?

- Was it worth it?

- Yeah, we hoped.

- Thanks for looking
after the kids, Casey.

- I need a receipt.

- I don't think I can say.

- No worry.

I'll write one out myself.

Can you fax this for me in the morning?

- Sure.

- Total

$664.

I'll put the number on the top.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Good night.

- Good night.

(Dreary music)

(Crickets chirping)

(Birds chirping)

- I have to say, I never
picked you for a country girl.

- I've always liked the country.

- This place has fleas.

Look, what's the story, lil?

Do you want to end the partnership?

Because if you do, you have
to come right out and say it.

- What are you talking about?

- I can't stand this weird
country shit any more.

- What do you mean?

We just moved out here.

We had a fire.

- Lil, you spent the
whole day yesterday

doing anything you could not to work.

- Oh yeah, I created that blackout.

Like a bull in a China shop.

Life is different out here, Casey.

You just don't get that.

I'm always terrified about
showing you my work.

- That's part of the process.

I just, I don't understand
why you're here.

It feels like you're running away.

- What?

- From me.

- Look, I'm not abandoning you.

Okay, just because we moved out here

doesn't mean that it's
the end of my life.

I mean I'm not going
to give up my work.

God, I need it.

I need to be a success.

You know what?

I'm married to a 55 year old man.

We don't have much.

We just got the shed and the land.

First wife took most of it.

How much time do you think
he has left to work?

- Warned you not to
go with the old guy.

Before you know it,
you'll be pushing him

around in a wheel chair.

- No, I'll get him a motorized one.

Anyway, I thought you
two bonded last night.

- I like Perry.

I always did.

- Okay, I'll show you my work.

But they're just ideas.

Sketches.

- The first draft.

(Laughs)

(Mumbling patrons)

- Svetti, baby.

Why did you leave?

I'm so glad you're back.

Where have you been?

What happened?

- I missed you.

- I missed you too.

He's got a good plan, svetti.

We just have to meet
with him once a week.

He goes over our accounts, that's all.

- So now he's got control
of our finances as well?

You give in so easily.

- Well, why did you run
off and spend his money?

- I didn't spend all of it.

Only $664, god.

I need to be looked after sometimes.

- Maybe you can leave
me a note next time?

(Footsteps)

- Hello.

- I got your fax, svetti.

It's a pitty you didn't
send it from Canada.

- You might miss your
grandchildren too much

if I did that.

- You think it'd be me who'd miss 'em?

- 'Scuse me.

Carter, candy,

(speaking in Russian)

(Guitar music)

- I heard you were back.

You planning on living the sharps?

- Lay off, uncle Jeff.

- I wanted you to know you
can have your job back.

- Well, thanks, uncle Jeff.

But I don't want it.

- Well, it's there if you want it.

Let me know if you want to
come around for dinner.
