﻿1
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,031
Oh, no!

2
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:27,672
Sorry.

3
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:40,984
- Hi.
- You're late.

4
00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:42,694
You said seven.

5
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:45,314
You'll have to feed the boys
at the cinema.

6
00:01:45,314 --> 00:01:46,657
What cinema?
What are you talking about?

7
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:48,275
You promised to take them
to a film.

8
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,370
Yeah,
but what about this?

9
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,285
I'll buy them a pizza, they
watch a movie on the telly,

10
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:55,783
they get to bed early.

11
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:57,250
I've got a ton of work to do.

12
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:58,835
They've been ready to go
for an hour.

13
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:00,625
Fine.

14
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,464
And try to be happy
around them.

15
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:05,005
- Smile more!
- I smile!

16
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,970
Wait, wait, wait.
What am I... What am I seeing?

17
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:11,511
Oh, just some doggy flick.

18
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:13,508
Oh, Christ. Kill me now.

19
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:15,556
I'm not the one
that promised him a puppy.

20
00:02:15,552 --> 00:02:17,304
No, I didn't.
It was a misunderstanding.

21
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:18,772
He's lonely.

22
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:21,563
New city, new school,
no friends.

23
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:23,777
He cries every day.

24
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,400
<i>Jesus.</i>

25
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:28,903
Isn't he a bit old to cry?

26
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:31,243
Why not get him a dog?

27
00:02:31,234 --> 00:02:33,657
M...

28
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:36,453
Because they...smell, you know?

29
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:38,200
And...and they lick things.

30
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,248
Dead things in alleys
and...and...

31
00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:42,496
...and then their own bum,
and then your face.

32
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:43,918
- Gross!
- Right.

33
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:48,335
And they crap everywhere.
They get fleas.

34
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,882
They die.

35
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:54,261
It's a bad idea, trust me.

36
00:02:56,051 --> 00:02:57,894
- You promised.
- No, I didn't promise.

37
00:02:57,886 --> 00:02:59,479
It was...

38
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:02,099
Can we not talk about it,
please? Alright?

39
00:03:03,642 --> 00:03:05,940
- What's that'?
- Hmm?

40
00:03:05,936 --> 00:03:08,735
I'm just happy to be out
with my boys.

41
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:09,947
It's a smile.

42
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:12,034
You're scaring me.

43
00:03:13,902 --> 00:03:15,119
Right.

44
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,538
Can you tell him to be quiet?

45
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:24,959
Do you mind?

46
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,140
Alright.
PJs and brush your teeth.

47
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:02,928
on, Nicholas!

48
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:07,182
Oh, crikey!

49
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:12,396
Alright, time for sleep.

50
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:13,772
Did you like the movie?

51
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:15,445
It was alright.

52
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,158
You cried.

53
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:18,527
No, <i>I</i> didn't.

54
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:19,824
I saw you.

55
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,993
It was hay fever.
Come on, get your head down.

56
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:23,661
Dad, I saw you crying.

57
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:26,627
Son, I'm too old to cry.

58
00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:28,165
Now, come on.

59
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:30,004
But wouldn't it be great?

60
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,498
What?

61
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:33,375
To have a dog.

62
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:35,218
A dog like Red.

63
00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:37,671
Lights out.

64
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,914
- Blue.
- What?

65
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:08,494
His name was Blue, the dog.
Not Red.

66
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,211
You mean the movie actor dog?

67
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:11,796
His name was Koko.

68
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,507
No, I mean the real dog.

69
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:16,672
The one the movie was based on.

70
00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:17,840
How do you know?

71
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,806
<i>'Cause he was mine.</i>

72
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:25,886
I called him Blue.

73
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:30,683
And he was the first real mate
I ever had.

74
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:41,656
When I was about your age,

75
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:44,495
I was living in Sydney
with my mum, your nanna.

76
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:49,497
And my dad, your grandfather,

77
00:06:49,492 --> 00:06:51,415
had just passed away.

78
00:06:54,998 --> 00:06:56,750
<i>We were both very sad,</i>

79
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,469
<i>but your nanna was...</i>

80
00:06:59,461 --> 00:07:01,964
<i>...well, she was very, very sad.</i>

81
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:09,805
<i>So it was decided she should go
to a special place</i>

82
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:11,397
<i>to try and relax for a while.</i>

83
00:07:13,642 --> 00:07:15,644
<i>Like</i> a <i>holiday?</i>

84
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:18,480
Yeah. Sort of.

85
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:23,952
And I was sent to stay with
my grandpa, your great-grandpa.

86
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,788
He owned a station,
Warndurala Station,

87
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:28,453
way out west in the Pilbara.

88
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,917
Just south of Dampier,
where the movie took place.

89
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:36,340
It was so far away, I had to
take three planes to get there.

90
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,355
Watch the snakes!

91
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:17,422
<i>It was mind-blowing
to be in such</i> a <i>new place.</i>

92
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:20,834
<i>It was like Mars.</i>

93
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:25,214
<i>Red. Huge. Fantastic!</i>

94
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:29,138
This is totally stupid!

95
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,809
<i>I know it's hard to imagine,</i>

96
00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:36,479
<i>but back then, as a boy,
I was different.</i>

97
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:40,816
<i>I wasn't what you'd call
the outdoors type.</i>

98
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,190
<i>And truth be told...</i>

99
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:48,370
<i>...I was scared.</i>

100
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:57,416
<i>(mum</i>

101
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:07,385
Epimethius!

102
00:09:20,477 --> 00:09:22,946
<i>And then there was Grandpa.</i>

103
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,899
Why are you riling up my horse?

104
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:28,152
H-he was trying to kill me!

105
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:32,872
What's wrong with it, Grandpa?

106
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:33,911
Tallulah was hit by lightning.

107
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:38,082
She hasn't been the same since.

108
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:41,173
She's blind in one eye and now
she thinks she's a bull.

109
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,676
In future, you don't go
in that paddock, understand?

110
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:48,672
OK. Yes, sir.

111
00:09:51,174 --> 00:09:52,471
Come on.

112
00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:57,272
Does lightning hit
a lot of things?

113
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,606
No.

114
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:01,643
But it's crazy dangerous
when it does, right?

115
00:10:01,643 --> 00:10:02,815
Yes.

116
00:10:02,811 --> 00:10:04,313
How do you not get hit
by lightning?

117
00:10:04,312 --> 00:10:06,314
- You be careful.
- How do you be careful?

118
00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:07,907
Can you tell by the clouds
or something?

119
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:09,025
Yes.

120
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:10,868
So you just stay inside
when you see those clouds?

121
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:11,907
No.

122
00:10:11,903 --> 00:10:13,951
- Are there any crocodiles'?
- Not many.

123
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,291
- They can eat you?
- Yes.

124
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,580
And the worst snake
is a death adder?

125
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:19,998
Yes.

126
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,746
What happens if you get bitten?

127
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:22,838
You die.

128
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:24,458
But not from
the spinifex snake?

129
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:25,800
Nope.

130
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,920
Which is different
from the king brown?

131
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,717
Yes.

132
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:31,885
And you can die
from a red-back spider?

133
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:33,383
Yes.

134
00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:35,556
It's like everything out here
can kill you or something.

135
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,522
I don't remember
you talking so much before.

136
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:41,107
Well, last time you saw me,
Grandpa, I was two.

137
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,726
I wasn't talking yet.

138
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:44,398
Try and remember that.

139
00:10:46,938 --> 00:10:48,406
Grandpa?

140
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:50,901
Thank you.

141
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:54,571
Who else was gonna take you?

142
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:07,585
<i>So, Dad, were you</i>
a <i>cowboy? A jackaroo?</i>

143
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,053
- A real jackaroo'?
- No.

144
00:11:10,044 --> 00:11:11,512
Oh.

145
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,472
Well, not at first.

146
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:15,216
So, what did you do?

147
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:17,844
I swept.

148
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:32,488
<i>I also watered
Grandpa's orange tree.</i>

149
00:11:34,611 --> 00:11:37,785
<i>Which he loved
more than life itself.</i>

150
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:41,368
<i>And there was homework.</i>

151
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:44,371
<i>Correspondence sets
I was supposed to complete.</i>

152
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:48,000
Peter paid no attention
t0 his grandfather's words.

153
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,047
Boys like him
are not afraid of wolves...

154
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:55,265
<i>But mainly, I listened
to Grandpa's records.</i>

155
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:02,431
Peter paid no attention
t0 his grandfather's words.

156
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,853
Boys like him
are not afraid of wolves.

157
00:12:07,268 --> 00:12:09,316
<i>Jimmy Umbrella was our cook.</i>

158
00:12:09,312 --> 00:12:13,408
<i>He hated the sun
and always carried an umbrella.</i>

159
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,151
<i>He cooked for everyone.</i>

160
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:16,448
Righto, boys, here we go.

161
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,572
<i>The stockmen ate
out by the cookhouse.</i>

162
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:21,074
<i>There was the helicopter pilot,
Bill Stemple,</i>

163
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:24,624
<i>and brothers
Little John and Big John.</i>

164
00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:33,465
<i>The biackfeiias ate at their
camp, called Gujarala.</i>

167
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:43,642
Thank you, my darling.

168
00:12:43,638 --> 00:12:47,688

only a few years older than me</i>

169
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:49,607

170

Comb your hair.

172
00:13:03,658 --> 00:13:06,582
<i>Jimmy Umbrella cooked
three meals</i> a <i>day</i> -

00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:12,258
<i>and hot beef for dinner.</i>

176
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:16,550
What's the matter?

177
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:18,765
Nothing, sir.

178
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,679
You're not talking.

179
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:22,348
You don't like me talking.

180
00:13:22,343 --> 00:13:23,720
Never stopped you before.

181
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,267
What is it?

182
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:27,432
It's my birthday.

183
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:31,569
What do you want for a present?

184
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:34,822
A salad would be nice.

185
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:40,078
What else?

186
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:41,491
I was thinking
my mum would call.

187
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:42,830
She didn't.

188
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:45,495
Could I try to call her?

189
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,289
We're not going to talk
about your mother.

190
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:55,922
Come on.

191
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:10,934
Happy birthday.

192
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:13,561
Oh! I thought it was
gonna be a horse!

193
00:14:13,561 --> 00:14:16,440
A horse?
How old do you think I am?

194
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:18,942
This was 1969.

195
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:22,491
Horses were out. Motorbikes
and helicopters were in.

196
00:14:22,487 --> 00:14:23,989
Did you know how to ride
a motorbike?

197
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:25,661
Of course I knew
how to ride it.

198
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,497
Oh, nooooooo!

199
00:14:29,577 --> 00:14:31,375
Eventually.

200
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,840
Aaarghh!

201
00:14:37,752 --> 00:14:39,550
<i>The fact was,</i>

202
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:42,594
<i>it was lonely being in</i> a <i>new
place without any friends.</i>

203
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:45,264
<i>Seemed like everyone had</i>
a <i>companion already.</i>

00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:46,727
Epimethius!

205
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,141
<i>Big John had Little John.</i>

206
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:51,562
<i>Jimmy had his umbrella.</i>

207
00:14:53,184 --> 00:14:54,902
<i>Stemple had his guitar.</i>

208
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,606
Those warriors at Wave Hill...

209
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:02,827
<i>Taylor Pete had his politics
and land rights issue.</i>

210
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:05,322
Gonna be a big one, boys!
Get in! Get in!

211
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:06,743
Durack, get in there!

212
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,003
What's going on?!

213
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,996
Cyclone coming!

214
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:15,964
<i>And Grandpa...</i>

215
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:21,463
<i>...had his gramophone.</i>

The roof is anchored
to half-inch pipes

217

00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:40,736
No!

223
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,080
- Stemple?
- Yeah?

224
00:15:52,076 --> 00:15:53,953
Get into the air. First off,
we've got to find the mob.

225
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:56,376
Help those that are bogged
or trapped.

226
00:15:56,372 --> 00:15:58,670
Little and Big,
you get out to the west end.

227
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:00,134
Durack and Taylor Pete,

228
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:02,470
you come with me
to the northern plateau.

229
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:03,930
What about me?

230
00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:05,969
You look for
the loose chickens.

231
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,308
Who's gonna drive?

232
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:09,594
I won again!

233
00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:52,970
Hello.
Where did you come from?

234
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:56,516
OK, OK, don't worry.
I'll get you down.

235
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:01,942
Oh, you're a mess.

236
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:05,033
Do you have a name? No?

237
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,368
I'm gonna call you Blue.
Because you're blue.

238
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:19,296
Blue! You're red!

239
00:17:19,288 --> 00:17:21,336
You're red!

240
00:17:21,332 --> 00:17:23,585
I have a good feeling about us.

241
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:25,302
I think we're gonna be
best mates.

242
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:31,930
Shhh.

243
00:17:48,192 --> 00:17:49,694
Where'd you put him?

244
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:53,827
I know you're not asleep.

245
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,049
You even know whose that is?

246
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:06,760
He's nobody's dog, Grandad.
I found him. His name's Blue.

247
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:09,255
Looks more red to me.

248
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:12,429
His name is Blue,
his colour is red.

249
00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:15,224
- That makes sense to you'?
- Yes.

250
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:17,392
He's from Gujarala.

251
00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:20,141
Durack's cousin's visiting
from Wyndham.

252
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:22,235
The pup's from his bitch.

253
00:18:28,316 --> 00:18:29,738
I'll talk t0 him.

254
00:18:29,734 --> 00:18:32,613
Thank you! Thank you, sir.

255
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,239
On one condition.

256
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:36,457
Dogs don't sleep in the house.

257
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:55,671
Where's my bloody
shaving cream?

258
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:00,221

00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:08,566
Plain as day, Jimmy.

263
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:09,685
Are you a vet now?

264
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:11,153
No, but I bloody well know

265
00:21:11,145 --> 00:21:12,613
strychnine poisoning
when I see it.

266
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,528
- Could be rabies.
- Don't think so.

267
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:16,070
Look at the foam on his mouth.

268
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:17,659
Marlunghu.

A What?

270
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,954
That fella,
he's a trickster marlunghu.

271
00:21:25,701 --> 00:21:27,294
He is.

272

276

Would you like some jam

277
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:33,102
Whoa, boy! That was fast.

278
00:22:34,228 --> 00:22:35,571
You know,

279
00:22:35,563 --> 00:22:38,066
if we could figure out a way
to make money from fast eating,

280
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:39,783
we could get mighty rich.

281
00:22:40,818 --> 00:22:42,536
Ready?

282
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,540
Don't be a scaredy-cat.

283
00:22:46,532 --> 00:22:48,785
It's probably like
all the other caves.

284
00:22:48,784 --> 00:22:50,457
Nothing big, nothing scary.

285
00:23:10,139 --> 00:23:11,436
You see this, Blue?

286
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:12,979
You go first.

287
00:23:15,853 --> 00:23:17,275
OK.

288
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:19,990
I'll go first.

289
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:21,484
No big deal.

290
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:37,796
Blue, you gotta get in here
and see this.

291
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:39,634
It's amazing.

292
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:41,470
We can use this as a hide-out.

293
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:43,339
We'll be the Ned Kelly
of the Pilbara.

294
00:23:43,339 --> 00:23:44,966
I'll be Ned, that is.

295
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:46,888
And you'll be my best mate,
Joe Byrne,

296
00:23:46,884 --> 00:23:49,478
scourge of the North West.

297
00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:52,394
We'll bury our gold in here
and have orgies.

298
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:55,063
It's an awful snug place
for orgies, I reckon.

299
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:57,903
Not exactly sure what they are,
but I know all true robbers...

300
00:23:57,895 --> 00:24:00,694
Jeez!

301
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:02,487
Don't do that!

302
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:06,195
What's that?

303
00:24:17,373 --> 00:24:19,296
What is it, Blue?

304
00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:31,099
Let's get out of here!

305
00:24:46,777 --> 00:24:48,529
That was scary, Blue.

306
00:25:07,756 --> 00:25:09,474
You're late.

307
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:11,309
Sorry about that.

308
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:13,395
Can you keep a secret?

309
00:25:13,387 --> 00:25:14,809
Only me and Blue know.

310
00:25:14,805 --> 00:25:16,478
Well, I can keep a secret
if a dog can.

311
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:19,693
He doesn't like
to be called that.

312
00:25:19,685 --> 00:25:21,813
A dog?

313
00:25:21,812 --> 00:25:24,361
We found a cave
in Gregory's Rock.

314
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:26,233
That's not a place
for whitefellas.

315
00:25:26,233 --> 00:25:28,031
- You know it?
- Of course I know it.

316
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:30,280
That's Mukkine's Cave.
Only Bunaga men go there.

317
00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,249
Manguny place, that is.
Dreamtime.

318
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,163
How do you know
it's Dreamtime?

319
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:37,082
'Cause I've been there.
On Walkabout.

320
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:39,250
Is walking about hard?
I mean, all that walking...

321
00:25:39,246 --> 00:25:42,546
Don't be daft. I didn't walk.
I took me ute.

322
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:45,044
Well, did you notice anything
strange in the cave?

323
00:25:45,044 --> 00:25:46,921
What did you see?

324
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,048
There was a white stone
in the pool.

325
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:50,300
I tried to get it,

326
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:52,097
but Blue started barking
at something fierce,

327
00:25:52,092 --> 00:25:53,344
something I couldn't see.

328
00:25:59,433 --> 00:26:00,855
What?

329
00:26:02,019 --> 00:26:03,396
That's not very good.

330
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,397
What do you know of Mukkine?

331
00:26:05,397 --> 00:26:06,694
Nothing.

332
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:16,705
Mukkine was a great ngarluma,
a magic man.

333
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:20,250
Many years ago,
he shot this humbug constable

334
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,964
who chained all of Mukkine's
mob by their necks

335
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:24,958
and pegged them to this tree.

336
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:27,586
Mukkine shot him dead.

337
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:32,092
Plenty of coppers came from
all over just to kill Mukkine.

338
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:36,016
But Mukkine made fools
of all of those coppers.

339
00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:39,311
They needed a blackfella
to track a blackfella,

340
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:40,853
and they got one.

341
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:43,352
Parker Knight from Roebourne.

342
00:26:43,352 --> 00:26:46,447
Parker Knight, he shot Mukkine,

343
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:50,284
but you can't kill a Maban man
unless you take his spirit.

344
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:53,821
So <i>as</i> Mukkine lay bleeding,

345
00:26:53,821 --> 00:26:56,244
he put his spirit
into that water,

346
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,709
into Yirramala pool,

347
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,873
in that cave.

348
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:04,214
That's what Blue saw
and was barking at.

349
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:06,174
Mukkine's spirit.

350
00:27:06,166 --> 00:27:07,713
I tell you true.

351
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:09,711
That white stone
that you found in the pool,

352
00:27:09,711 --> 00:27:11,429
that's Mukkine's stone.

353
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:13,173
That holds his power.

354
00:27:13,173 --> 00:27:14,720
A weapon, it is.

355
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:18,892
He points that thing at you
and you die. Cursed.

356
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,434
And now that he knows you,

357
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:23,183
he might take his stone
and he'll come looking.

358
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:24,730
Why would he come
looking for me?

359
00:27:24,726 --> 00:27:27,104
- You stole his land.
- I didn't steal nothing.

360
00:27:27,104 --> 00:27:30,859
Your family, Mr Hudson, you
whitefellas take everything.

361
00:27:32,192 --> 00:27:34,741
I don't want no spirit
coming after me and Blue.

362
00:27:36,363 --> 00:27:38,536
You're gonna need a token
for protection.

363
00:27:44,204 --> 00:27:46,377
This is it.

364
00:27:46,373 --> 00:27:48,626
Very strong magic, this one.

365
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:52,596
What's in the tin?

366
00:27:54,047 --> 00:27:55,390
His name's Ted.

367
00:27:57,593 --> 00:27:59,766
He's our pet.

368
00:27:59,761 --> 00:28:01,308
Blue has a pet?

369
00:28:01,305 --> 00:28:03,023
Well, yeah.

370
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:06,067
- Trade.
- Done.

371
00:28:15,402 --> 00:28:18,372
Yahoooo!

372
00:28:19,907 --> 00:28:21,659
Crazy wadjbala bloke.

373
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:28,506
on, yeah!

374
00:28:28,498 --> 00:28:30,125
18-10.

375
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:56,401
Would you shut up?!

376
00:29:04,534 --> 00:29:06,002
What do you think
you're doing?!

377
00:29:05,994 --> 00:29:07,337
He won't shut up.

378
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:09,707
When I sing, he won't shut up.

379
00:29:09,706 --> 00:29:11,424
Must be the dumbest dog
I've ever met.

380
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:13,714
Hey, what are you talking
about? He's smarter than me.

381
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:15,132
That's not a recommendation.

382
00:29:16,213 --> 00:29:17,886
Can he do any tricks?

383
00:29:17,881 --> 00:29:19,633
Can he sit?

384
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:20,930
He's already sitting.

385
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:23,679
No, like sit down,
shake hands, roll over.

386
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:26,353
No? Nothing?

387
00:29:29,810 --> 00:29:32,484
What about play dead?
Can he play dead?

388
00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:34,197
Hey. Hey, Blue.

389
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:35,611
Can you be dead?

390
00:29:38,318 --> 00:29:39,865
We'll start off with
a few of the easy ones

391
00:29:39,861 --> 00:29:41,113
to shut him up.

392
00:29:41,113 --> 00:29:43,411
Like sit. You know how to sit.

393
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:45,034
Everybody knows how to sit.

394
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:47,411
Ready, set, sit.

395
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:53,083
OK, OK. You probably don't
understand the process.

396
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:56,087
I give a command, you perform
it. That's what a trick is.

397
00:29:57,212 --> 00:29:58,634
I'll show you how it works.

398
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:01,429
You give me a command
and then I'll do it.

399
00:30:01,425 --> 00:30:04,224
Then we can switch places. OK?

400
00:30:04,219 --> 00:30:06,688
Go ahead. Give a command.

401
00:30:08,765 --> 00:30:10,893
See? Easy. Try something else.

402
00:30:32,289 --> 00:30:35,338
Jimmy! Another plate.

403
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:37,007
We're going to be having
company.

404
00:30:44,217 --> 00:30:47,312
Michael, this is Mr Hancock.

405
00:30:47,304 --> 00:30:49,272
Ah.

406
00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:51,437
So, you're Cate's boy?

407
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:53,060
- Yes, sir.
- Yeah.

408
00:30:53,060 --> 00:30:55,188
Well, I remember your mum
when she was

409
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:57,906
no more than, 0h, yea high.

410
00:30:57,898 --> 00:30:59,900
She had the prettiest smile.

411
00:31:01,234 --> 00:31:02,986
Comb your hair.

412
00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:06,616
Oh. Allowing dogs
in the house now?

413
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:08,117
Oh, Blue has privileges.

414
00:31:08,116 --> 00:31:09,493
You're getting soft.

415
00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:12,167
Mr Hancock here
is up at Mulga Downs.

416
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:15,006
<i>When</i> he's up at Mulga Downs,
which isn't so much these days,

417
00:31:14,998 --> 00:31:17,000
he has other,
more important interests.

418
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,422
What are your other
interests, sir?

419
00:31:20,003 --> 00:31:21,175
Allow me.

420
00:31:24,674 --> 00:31:26,017
Now, that -

421
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:28,432
that is the future
of this land.

422
00:31:28,428 --> 00:31:32,023
Not that mob of wild shorthorns
in the bush out yonder.

423
00:31:32,015 --> 00:31:33,733
Your grandpa thinks
he's a futurist

424
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:35,568
'cause he got rid
of his horses

425
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,564
and now he musters with
motorbikes and helicopters.

426
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,315
But I call a spade a spade,

427
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:43,785
and you can't make a spade
without that there.

428
00:31:44,861 --> 00:31:47,330
- What is it'?
- Iron ore.

429
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,165
We have iron ore
on the property, Grandpa?

430
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:50,329
Not enough.

431
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:53,625
But if you go
180 miles thataway,

432
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:55,714
they're building the biggest
mine on the planet,

433
00:31:55,705 --> 00:31:57,127
Mount Tom Price.

434
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:58,717
And then they're gonna run
the railroad

435
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,335
straight through
your grandpa's property

436
00:32:00,335 --> 00:32:01,928
to get to Dampier.

437
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,298
- Is that good?
- No.

438
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:05,640
Isn't it our land?

439
00:32:05,632 --> 00:32:07,179
I can't stop it.

440
00:32:07,175 --> 00:32:09,394
Not if it's in the public's
bloody interest.

441
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:11,263
- You could sell it.
- Ha!

442
00:32:11,263 --> 00:32:13,231
Taylor Pete said
it isn't even our land.

443
00:32:13,223 --> 00:32:14,645
Taylor Pete?

444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:16,393
This is our land.
I have the deed to prove it.

445
00:32:16,393 --> 00:32:17,861
But it was their land.

446
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,696
Haven't you got
anything stronger

447
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,907
to go with this tucker, Ronald?

448
00:32:21,898 --> 00:32:23,320
Take your meal into your room.

449
00:32:23,316 --> 00:32:24,613
Yes, sir.

450
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:32,705
I've neglected
the boy's education.

451
00:32:32,701 --> 00:32:34,294
Oh, he'd be off to school
in the big smoke

452
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:35,754
soon enough, wouldn't he?

453
00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:37,167
Next year.

454
00:32:39,332 --> 00:32:43,462
Cate's still in that, uh...
hospital?

455
00:32:43,462 --> 00:32:45,556
They released her
six months back.

456
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:47,470
And didn't come
and see her boy?

457
00:32:48,592 --> 00:32:51,015
Nope. Disappeared into Sydney.

458
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:52,854
Not even a postcard.

459
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:54,814
Well, does the boy know?

460
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,149
No.

461
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,607
I don't understand her.

462
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:03,233
My daughter's a
bloody mystery, way she thinks.

463
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:06,075
Got more twists and turns
than the Fortescue!

464
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:09,905
No matter how hard
the duck tried to run,

465
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:11,703
she couldn't escape the wolf.

466
00:33:11,698 --> 00:33:14,577
He was getting nearer, nearer,

467
00:33:14,576 --> 00:33:15,873
HGQFGF...

468
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:18,748
Hey, I love this!
Peter and the...

469
00:33:21,917 --> 00:33:23,794
Are you OK, Mr Hancock?

470
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:25,340
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

471
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:26,805
Come on, dog, get off, get off.

472
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:29,967
Sorry, Mr Hancock.

473
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:31,934
Blue gets very territorial
about his sitting spots.

474
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:34,146
I wouldn't try to move him.
It wouldn't be safe.

475
00:33:34,137 --> 00:33:36,811
Yeah, well,
we'll see about that.

476
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:45,858
Feeling himself caught,

477
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:48,701
the wolf began to jump wildly,
trying to get loose.

478
00:33:59,162 --> 00:34:00,914
Hey, Lang!
Where are you, old man?

479
00:34:00,914 --> 00:34:02,882
You've fallen down
and can't get up?

480
00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:04,922
I'm coming.

481
00:34:04,918 --> 00:34:07,387
Well, you two...carry on.

482
00:34:12,592 --> 00:34:13,844
What a strange man.

483
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,476
OK, no cheating this time.

484
00:34:21,476 --> 00:34:24,355
You count to 50, and no peeking
where I hide the duck.

485
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:41,504
- YEP-
- Yep-

486
00:34:46,126 --> 00:34:48,128
- You ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.

487
00:34:48,128 --> 00:34:49,675
Here we go.

488
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,352
No!

489
00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:44,518
Come here, Blue!

490
00:35:54,110 --> 00:35:55,532
Blue!

491
00:35:57,781 --> 00:35:59,203
Epimethius!

492
00:36:05,372 --> 00:36:07,921
Hey, not fair.
No going into the paddock.

493
00:36:44,244 --> 00:36:45,712
Blue?

494
00:36:48,665 --> 00:36:50,212
Blue?

495
00:37:31,791 --> 00:37:33,259
That was crazy!

496
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:41,848
Aaaaaaah!

497
00:37:51,436 --> 00:37:53,564
What's that?

498
00:38:00,361 --> 00:38:02,284
Everything
alright, Ronnie?

499
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:13,750
Ow!

500
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:15,377
<i>~</i>
" Ow!

501
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:18,805
<i>~</i>
" Ow!

502
00:38:23,927 --> 00:38:25,804
I know the boy can be foolish,

503
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:27,806
but I counted on you
to have more sense.

504
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:38,116
Hey, Blue.

505
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:04,809
Come over here!
Come on! This way!

506
00:39:15,395 --> 00:39:17,614
<i>r Will you say maybe?</i>

507
00:39:34,622 --> 00:39:36,090
Bit sore, are we?

508
00:39:39,085 --> 00:39:40,758
I've been scarred.

509
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:43,472
That's not a scar,
mate. You want to see a scar?

510
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:47,059
Vietnam, baby. Vietnam.

511
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:48,553
That little thing?

512
00:39:52,015 --> 00:39:53,938
Wow. Did it hurt?

513
00:39:53,933 --> 00:39:55,935
Don't be daft.
Of course it hurt!

514
00:39:55,935 --> 00:39:57,778
Dunno if self-inflicted
counts, mate.

515
00:39:57,770 --> 00:39:59,864
- Yeah, well, I didn't do it.
- Was it a punishment?

516
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:01,324
Education.

517
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:02,738
I'm getting that too.

518
00:40:02,734 --> 00:40:05,453
Grandpa thinks
I'm not properly educated.

519
00:40:05,445 --> 00:40:07,322
He's hired some old woman
from Perth

520
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:08,915
to come live with us

521
00:40:08,907 --> 00:40:11,786
and make sure I do
all my correspondence sets

522
00:40:11,784 --> 00:40:13,752
all day long.

523
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:16,874
At the mission schools, all
the sisters look like goannas.

524
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:18,546
Yeah, I bet
she has warts.

525
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:21,636
Hair growing out of them.
On her nose.

526
00:40:21,628 --> 00:40:23,676
I don't even want an education.

527
00:40:24,714 --> 00:40:26,091
I remember this one boy

528
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:28,388
that the nuns had taught
a thousand lines of the Bible

529
00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:29,681
all up in his head.

530
00:40:29,677 --> 00:40:31,020
So?

531
00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:32,480
He become an idiot, he did.

532
00:40:32,472 --> 00:40:34,440
No worries.

533
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:36,480
Between you and your dog,
you're already halfway there.

534
00:40:59,999 --> 00:41:01,922
- Hello, Doctor.
- Mick.

535
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:04,046
Have a vaccination
for the lads.

536
00:41:04,045 --> 00:41:05,718
Gonna need to
gather them all up.

537
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:07,841
I was told to meet
my new tutor.

538
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,513
Mrs Marble. Is she in there?

539
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,979
Supposed to help her
get situated.

540
00:41:12,971 --> 00:41:15,190
<i>Was she old and horrible
and hairy, Dad?</i>

541
00:41:15,181 --> 00:41:17,024
Uh...no.

542
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,734
Did she have those big
nose warts?

543
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:20,603
No. No nose warts.

544
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:23,823
But she looked like
a big goanna lizard, right?

545
00:41:23,815 --> 00:41:25,317
No.

546
00:41:40,206 --> 00:41:43,335
Ugh! Then what was she like?

547
00:41:43,334 --> 00:41:46,759
Sh-she was, uh...pretty...

548
00:41:46,754 --> 00:41:48,347
...nice-looking.

549
00:41:49,507 --> 00:41:51,350
I thought.

550
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:52,764
Mick. This is Miss Marble.

551
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,762
Hello, Mick.
Please, call me Betty.

552
00:41:54,762 --> 00:41:57,140
Mick will
see you situated.

553
00:41:57,140 --> 00:41:58,642
And Who's this?

554
00:42:01,394 --> 00:42:03,317
Blue, Mrs...

555
00:42:03,312 --> 00:42:05,235
...Miss Marb...

556
00:42:05,231 --> 00:42:06,448
...Bet. ..Marble.

557
00:42:06,441 --> 00:42:07,658
Just Betty.

558
00:42:07,650 --> 00:42:10,119
Do you have bags...Betty?

559
00:42:10,111 --> 00:42:12,739
Two. But they are quite heavy.

560
00:42:12,739 --> 00:42:15,037
Oh, I'm stronger than I look.

561
00:42:27,253 --> 00:42:28,971
Oh.

562
00:42:31,674 --> 00:42:34,473
Come on. What are you doing'?
Doctor's giving shots.

563
00:42:42,351 --> 00:42:44,024
It's enough
to make one a believer

564
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:46,364
in our educational system, eh?

565
00:42:46,355 --> 00:42:48,323
It's gonna be
pretty embarrassing for you.

566
00:42:48,316 --> 00:42:49,693
What?

567
00:42:49,692 --> 00:42:52,536
- Taking a shot in the bum.
- No way.

568
00:42:52,528 --> 00:42:54,201
Look, mate,
men take shots in the arm,

569
00:42:54,197 --> 00:42:55,619
children take shots in the bum.

570
00:42:55,615 --> 00:42:56,832
It's the way it is.

571
00:42:56,824 --> 00:42:59,247
- I'm not a child.
- So you'd like to believe.

572
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:03,005
Roll up your sleeve.

573
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:05,841
Yeah, it's just a bit tight,
Doc. This might help.

574
00:43:07,543 --> 00:43:08,965
G'day.

575
00:43:08,961 --> 00:43:11,680
Don't think we've met.
Uh, Bill Stemple.

576
00:43:11,672 --> 00:43:13,299
Hello. Betty.

577
00:43:13,299 --> 00:43:14,551
Betty.

578
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:16,302
(E-'day, Betty.
Welcome to Warndurala.

579
00:43:16,302 --> 00:43:19,272
Have to give you a tour
round the station sometime.

580
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:20,856
Course, the best way to see it
is from the air.

581
00:43:20,848 --> 00:43:22,566
You ever taken a ride
in a helic...

582
00:43:22,558 --> 00:43:23,775
...helicopter?

583
00:43:23,768 --> 00:43:25,611
Next.

584
00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:31,242
Not in the bum.

585
00:43:31,234 --> 00:43:32,451
Can't hear you.

586
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:33,820
Not in the bum!

587
00:43:33,820 --> 00:43:35,117
For God's sake, speak up!

588
00:43:35,113 --> 00:43:36,581
He said not in the bum!

589
00:43:40,952 --> 00:43:42,374
Eeeh!

590
00:43:45,081 --> 00:43:47,550
Just use them
when you need them.

591
00:43:47,542 --> 00:43:49,510
And give us a holler
if it gets worse, Ron.

592
00:43:49,502 --> 00:43:51,049
Will do.

593
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:53,173
- Make sure you take 'em.
- Yeah, yeah.

594
00:43:57,635 --> 00:44:00,764
The sun on the red dirt.
Beautiful. You'll love it.

595
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:02,515
I'll have to check
my schedule.

596
00:44:02,515 --> 00:44:04,563
Betty. Walk with me.

597
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,073
Ron's a good man,

598
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:12,658
but if I could give you
a piece of advice?

599
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:14,072
What would that be?

600
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:16,905
Avoid helicopter rides.

601
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,157
I'll try to remember.

602
00:44:19,157 --> 00:44:21,455
When I see your parents,
I'll tell them you're fine.

603
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,327
It's going to be fun.

604
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:26,001
- You're not afraid'?
- Of what?

605
00:44:25,997 --> 00:44:28,250
Lonely men on a lonely land.

606
00:44:28,249 --> 00:44:29,796
I like lonely.

607
00:44:29,792 --> 00:44:31,214
Yeah.

608
00:44:44,307 --> 00:44:46,275
- Boys.
- Thanks for the shots, Doc.

609
00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:40,075
Out!

610
00:45:57,630 --> 00:45:59,098
Good morning, Mick.

611
00:45:59,090 --> 00:46:00,307
Good morning, Betty.

612
00:46:00,299 --> 00:46:02,301
Ready for a brilliant day
of education?

613
00:46:02,301 --> 00:46:03,974
You bet.

614
00:46:05,972 --> 00:46:08,725
What's that...
awful smell?

615
00:46:08,724 --> 00:46:10,601
Oh, Blue has digestion issues.

616
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:12,194
Don't worry,
you get used to it.

617
00:46:12,186 --> 00:46:13,733
There's no way
to get used to that.

618
00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:16,152
My God! It's intolerable!

619
00:46:16,148 --> 00:46:18,242
He has to go.

620
00:46:18,234 --> 00:46:19,907
But Blue has privileges.

621
00:46:19,902 --> 00:46:21,870
I can't kick him out.
It's his house too.

622
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:23,489
It's me or the dog, Mick.

623
00:46:28,035 --> 00:46:29,662
Out. Go!

624
00:46:41,549 --> 00:46:43,392
So we have Tom and <i>Sally</i>

625
00:46:43,384 --> 00:46:45,478
<i>from Summerhiil
and Mick from Warndurala.</i>

626
00:46:45,469 --> 00:46:48,518
- How are you all doing?
- Good. Over.

627
00:46:48,514 --> 00:46:50,061
<i>Good, thanks. Over.</i>

628
00:46:50,057 --> 00:46:52,480
<i>Right, today,
we're going over geometry,</i>

629
00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:54,228
<i>so can you all find
your maths workbooks?</i>

630
00:46:54,228 --> 00:46:57,983
<i>Now, let's start off with
the area of a rectangle.</i>

631
00:46:57,982 --> 00:47:00,701
<i>Let's just say you're
planning a garden.</i>

632
00:47:00,693 --> 00:47:03,993
<i>Your garden is 4ft long
and 12ft wide. How big is it?</i>

633
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:55,464
What are you doing out here'?
Eh? What are you doing?

634
00:48:03,714 --> 00:48:05,341
You sly devil.

635
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:07,935
Bit of a ladies' man,
are you? Eh?

636
00:48:10,137 --> 00:48:12,640
<i>I Mmm, jump in my car... I</i>

637
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,017
Let's go.

638
00:49:29,133 --> 00:49:30,430
I know.

639
00:49:30,426 --> 00:49:32,428
Know what?

640
00:49:32,428 --> 00:49:34,430
I know why you're looking
out that window.

641
00:49:34,430 --> 00:49:35,852
You do?

642
00:49:41,854 --> 00:49:43,697
You want to be out there.

643
00:49:43,689 --> 00:49:45,191
Oh, yes.

644
00:49:45,191 --> 00:49:48,365
Somewhere else.
Somewhere exciting.

645
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,954
You stare out there
and you think...

646
00:49:50,946 --> 00:49:53,199
..."Why can't I just run away?"

647
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:55,372
I-is that what you did?

648
00:49:56,619 --> 00:49:59,998
I got out of Perth.
It's a start.

649
00:49:59,997 --> 00:50:02,375
But I want to go to Paris,
London...

650
00:50:03,876 --> 00:50:05,753
In San Francisco,
they just had something

651
00:50:05,753 --> 00:50:07,755
called the Summer of Love.

652
00:50:07,755 --> 00:50:09,302
Isn't that wonderful?

653
00:50:10,841 --> 00:50:12,639
Don't you want to have
a summer of love?

654
00:50:13,594 --> 00:50:15,722
No!

655
00:50:15,721 --> 00:50:17,268
I mean, yes!

656
00:50:17,264 --> 00:50:19,232
Yes, of course. Yes.

657
00:50:21,143 --> 00:50:23,020
Are you alright?

658
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:25,398
S-stomach. I have to go.

659
00:50:25,397 --> 00:50:27,070
Oh, sorry. Of course.

660
00:50:27,066 --> 00:50:28,613
It's the end of the day anyway.

661
00:50:28,609 --> 00:50:30,111
OK.

662
00:50:49,463 --> 00:50:52,216
Serves you right
for being a degenerate.

663
00:50:54,343 --> 00:50:56,687
Alright, don't get your tail
in a twist.

664
00:51:00,724 --> 00:51:02,397
What do we do with this?

665
00:51:10,025 --> 00:51:12,323
Hello, Miss Abby.
It's a lovely day, isn't it?

666
00:51:19,785 --> 00:51:21,253
Come here.

667
00:51:21,245 --> 00:51:22,622
I found a snake this big.

668
00:51:22,621 --> 00:51:24,794
If that came
into my room,

669
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:26,292
I don't think I'd come back.

670
00:51:27,334 --> 00:51:29,382
- Here, I'll get that for you.
- This looks nice.

671
00:51:29,378 --> 00:51:30,971
What's he doing here?

672
00:51:30,963 --> 00:51:32,806
- <i>I</i> invited him.
- Why?

673
00:51:32,798 --> 00:51:34,300
Because I wanted to.

674
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:36,428
You know, I asked Bill
what they did on the station

675
00:51:36,427 --> 00:51:37,553
besides work.

676
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:39,055
He said all they did
was play ping-pong.

677
00:51:39,054 --> 00:51:40,977
I get the boys movies
every other month.

678
00:51:40,973 --> 00:51:42,816
And there's fishing
and swimming.

679
00:51:42,808 --> 00:51:45,027
And Roebourne has other
socialising amenities.

680
00:51:45,019 --> 00:51:46,521
Well, <i>as</i> I've said,

681
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,069
we've all gotten very good
at playing ping-pong.

682
00:51:49,064 --> 00:51:50,941
As will you.

683
00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:53,364
I'm already an excellent
player, thank you very much.

684
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,703
Is that a challenge?

685
00:51:54,695 --> 00:51:56,242
It is.

686
00:51:56,238 --> 00:51:57,956
- Thank you, Jimmy.
- Stemple sings.

687
00:51:59,867 --> 00:52:01,369
Really? What do you sing?

688
00:52:01,368 --> 00:52:03,996
Uh, rock'n'r0ll.
Bit of guitar too.

689
00:52:03,996 --> 00:52:05,543
Well, you should
sing us something.

690
00:52:05,539 --> 00:52:07,541
- Oh, later.
- Well, don't be shy.

691
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:08,793
Yeah. Please?

692
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,962
Uh...OK.

693
00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:17,510
Sounds a bit different
with my guitar, but, um...

694
00:52:28,312 --> 00:52:29,859
Blue only howls
when the kettle goes off

695
00:52:29,855 --> 00:52:31,277
and it hurts his ears.

696
00:52:31,273 --> 00:52:34,322
And when Stemple sings.
Isn't that hilarious?

697
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:35,786
Yeah, well,
everyone's a critic.

698
00:52:43,577 --> 00:52:45,124
Ever been to Paris?

699
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,043
- I have.
- What's it like?

700
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:50,004
They like cheese.

701
00:52:51,251 --> 00:52:52,798
17-17.

702
00:52:52,795 --> 00:52:55,218
- How about San Francisco?
- Nah.

703
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:57,888
- Don't you want to go?
- Why?

704
00:52:59,301 --> 00:53:02,430
It's...it's where
it's happening.

705
00:53:02,429 --> 00:53:04,056
It was 'happening'
in Saigon too.

706
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:08,067
Whoo!

707
00:53:12,773 --> 00:53:14,741
You want me to grow my hair
long and become a hippy.

708
00:53:14,733 --> 00:53:16,610
19-17.

709
00:53:16,610 --> 00:53:18,704
- You'd like that, eh?
- Perhaps.

710
00:53:21,281 --> 00:53:24,330
IAy, ay, a)',
ay, a)', a)', a)'

711
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:32,052
<i>I Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, 8y</i>

712
00:53:32,042 --> 00:53:33,464
My, <i>8y,</i> ay--- <i>I</i>

713
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:35,383
Eugh! Gross!

714
00:53:35,379 --> 00:53:37,381
Yeah. Exactly.

715
00:53:37,381 --> 00:53:39,679
Why would you even care?
She was so old.

716
00:53:39,675 --> 00:53:43,521
Well...l had that
all worked out.

717
00:53:43,512 --> 00:53:45,264
I know there's an age problem,

718
00:53:45,264 --> 00:53:47,358
but it's just six years
between me and Betty

719
00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:49,397
and six years between
Betty and Stemple.

720
00:53:49,393 --> 00:53:52,397
So the way I'm figuring,
it's all sort of a wash.

721
00:53:53,397 --> 00:53:55,900
I was engaged age 12.

722
00:53:55,899 --> 00:53:57,901
Wow! How did that happen?

723
00:53:59,111 --> 00:54:00,863
Family arranged it.

724
00:54:00,863 --> 00:54:02,706
Do you think it's stupid?

725
00:54:02,698 --> 00:54:05,247
All love's stupid,
mate. It's what love is.

726
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:07,290
Do you want to know a secret?

727
00:54:07,286 --> 00:54:09,960
Me and Big John,
we're not brothers.

728
00:54:09,955 --> 00:54:11,582
You're not?

729
00:54:11,582 --> 00:54:13,050
No, we're close.

730
00:54:13,041 --> 00:54:15,385
In fact, we're so close that
people think we're brothers,

731
00:54:15,377 --> 00:54:16,879
so we let them.

732
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:20,387
You understand
what I'm saying?

733
00:54:20,382 --> 00:54:21,679
No.

734
00:54:21,675 --> 00:54:24,269
She doesn't like me
or think of me that way.

735
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:27,185
And I don't mean the pregnant
way. That's disgusting.

736
00:54:27,181 --> 00:54:29,400
But she thinks of Stemple
in that way.

737
00:54:29,391 --> 00:54:30,768
The pregnant way.

738
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:32,645
What should I do?

739
00:54:32,644 --> 00:54:34,863
You're gonna have to fight him.
You got a weapon?

740
00:54:34,855 --> 00:54:37,108
No. Do you have one
I can borrow?

741
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:38,654
Nope.

742
00:54:40,611 --> 00:54:43,740
What about that stone?
You know, Mukkine's stone.

743
00:54:43,739 --> 00:54:45,241
You said that was a weapon.

744
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,709
- I could get that...
- That magic is not for you.

745
00:54:47,701 --> 00:54:49,829
Not for some little love-drunk
wadjbala boy.

746
00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:04,593
Hey, look at that!

747
00:55:04,593 --> 00:55:07,312
Blue's clearly a republican!

748
00:55:17,856 --> 00:55:20,405
This is how it looked
in the old days, Michael.

749
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,368
When the camp was full.

750
00:55:22,361 --> 00:55:25,581
People everywhere and...

751
00:55:25,572 --> 00:55:28,041
...hard work and sweat.

752
00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:30,001
Good times.

753
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:32,087
Really good times.

754
00:55:38,627 --> 00:55:40,425
Why don't you go
and have a good time?

755
00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:43,173
Go on.

756
00:56:18,667 --> 00:56:20,465
Mate, we need to talk.

757
00:56:31,138 --> 00:56:32,390
What do you think
you're doing?

758
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:33,686
What do you think you're doing?

759
00:56:33,682 --> 00:56:35,776
I'm doing what I do, OK?
What men do.

760
00:56:35,767 --> 00:56:37,440
Shouldn't you be off
playing with your Tonka toys

761
00:56:37,436 --> 00:56:38,858
and your painted wagons?

762
00:56:38,854 --> 00:56:40,231
Afraid of a little competition?

763
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:41,482
This isn't competition, mate.

764
00:56:41,481 --> 00:56:43,575
You know the age difference
between me and Betty

765
00:56:43,567 --> 00:56:45,490
is the same age difference
between Betty and you.

766
00:56:45,485 --> 00:56:47,533
Jesus, you're as bloody crazy
as your mum!

767
00:56:49,281 --> 00:56:50,624
Wh-what?

768
00:56:50,616 --> 00:56:52,539
Just because your mum's in
a loony bin howling at the moon

769
00:56:52,534 --> 00:56:54,582
means that everybody treats you
like a poor lost orphan.

770
00:56:54,578 --> 00:56:56,376
- Take it back!
- Just telling the truth, mate.

771
00:56:57,414 --> 00:56:59,087
What do you think you're doing?

772
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:00,550
- Fight!
- I'm not gonna fight you.

773
00:57:00,542 --> 00:57:02,636
- Fight me!
- It's not happening, OK?

774
00:57:02,628 --> 00:57:04,881
Fight me.

775
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,383
I lay a hand on you,
your dog's gonna bite me.

776
00:57:08,634 --> 00:57:10,386
Stop staring at me!

777
00:57:13,764 --> 00:57:16,517
Blue, I'm gonna fight Stemple.

778
00:57:16,516 --> 00:57:18,063
Stay clear.

779
00:57:18,060 --> 00:57:19,778
I want you to do nothing.
You hear?

780
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:21,363
But if I lose...

781
00:57:22,731 --> 00:57:24,654
...rip him apart.

782
00:57:24,650 --> 00:57:26,493
This is stupid. You're stupid.

783
00:57:26,485 --> 00:57:29,113
Your dog's stupid. The whole
bloody station is stupid!

784
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:30,238
Billy?

785
00:57:30,238 --> 00:57:32,206
Oh, there you are!
You're missing all the...

786
00:57:42,334 --> 00:57:44,803
<i>I knew it was wrong.</i>

787
00:57:44,795 --> 00:57:47,719
<i>But I was angry
and I didn't give a damn.</i>

788
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:24,843
Come on!

789
00:58:48,692 --> 00:58:50,194
Oh!

790
01:00:06,394 --> 01:00:07,896
<i>That night,</i>

791
01:00:07,896 --> 01:00:09,990
<i>it sounded like all the spirits
of the Pilbara</i>

792
01:00:09,981 --> 01:00:11,528
<i>had been let loose.</i>

793
01:00:13,318 --> 01:00:16,822
<i>And in the morning,
when I woke up,</i>

794
01:00:16,822 --> 01:00:19,041
<i>there's! been a death
at the station.</i>

795
01:00:23,829 --> 01:00:25,456
What happened?

796
01:00:25,455 --> 01:00:28,334
Hit by lightning. Again.

797
01:00:28,333 --> 01:00:31,928
It's a fact.
Lightning never strikes twice.

798
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,924
Well, she seems seriously
uninformed of that fact.

799
01:00:34,923 --> 01:00:37,301
A very unlucky horse.

800
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:40,645
One I paid $2,648 for.

801
01:00:40,637 --> 01:00:42,685
Nothing you can do
about unlucky, boss.

802
01:00:43,932 --> 01:00:45,184
Ain't that right, Mick?

803
01:01:23,597 --> 01:01:29,104
<i>I</i> And accept it that soon
you'll be drenched to the bone

804
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:36,948
<i>I</i> Then you'd better
start swimming

805
01:01:49,497 --> 01:01:50,965
I can't do it, Blue.

806
01:01:53,418 --> 01:01:55,136
What's with the dog?

807
01:01:55,128 --> 01:01:58,132
Oh. ..uh. . .toothache.

808
01:01:59,799 --> 01:02:02,393
Uh, about the other day...

809
01:02:04,346 --> 01:02:06,474
...I didn't mean to impugn
on your mother's sanity.

810
01:02:08,058 --> 01:02:09,480
The crazy one was me.

811
01:02:10,977 --> 01:02:13,196
Betty, she...

812
01:02:13,188 --> 01:02:14,906
...she really got me stirred up.

813
01:02:14,898 --> 01:02:17,777
We had a big old row and...

814
01:02:17,776 --> 01:02:21,747
She wants me to be
a hippy in Sydney.

815
01:02:21,738 --> 01:02:23,285
Play music on the corner
for coin.

816
01:02:23,281 --> 01:02:26,410
But what I do is fly.

817
01:02:26,409 --> 01:02:28,332
And I like this country.

818
01:02:28,328 --> 01:02:30,080
It suits me.

819
01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:34,672
With Betty leaving and all,
there's no point

820
01:02:34,668 --> 01:02:36,921
for us mates to be spitting
at each other all the time.

821
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,342
Eh?

822
01:02:40,173 --> 01:02:43,052
Wait...she's leaving? Why?

823
01:02:43,051 --> 01:02:45,804
Mate, there's nothing for her
to do here employment-wise.

824
01:02:45,804 --> 01:02:47,101
She teaches me.

825
01:02:47,097 --> 01:02:49,646
Well, she can't much do that
if you're not gonna be here.

826
01:03:04,656 --> 01:03:06,784
Oh, Mick! I'll miss you!

827
01:03:08,326 --> 01:03:10,954
Men are dumb, mean
blocks of wood.

828
01:03:10,954 --> 01:03:14,549
Whatever you do, promise me
you'll never become a man.

829
01:03:19,170 --> 01:03:20,296
Grandpa.

830
01:03:22,048 --> 01:03:23,516
Is it true?

831
01:03:23,508 --> 01:03:25,055
Sit down, Michael.

832
01:03:29,055 --> 01:03:30,682
I received a letter
from your mother.

833
01:03:30,682 --> 01:03:32,810
She's in Melbourne now.

834
01:03:32,809 --> 01:03:34,402
She wants you to come back.

835
01:03:35,854 --> 01:03:37,902
You're going to be sent to
Victoria Grammar School.

836
01:03:40,358 --> 01:03:42,406
Will I live with my mother?

837
01:03:42,402 --> 01:03:44,575
Um...no, you'll board
at the school.

838
01:03:44,571 --> 01:03:46,790
But...she'll see you
on weekends.

839
01:03:48,116 --> 01:03:49,834
When would I leave?

840
01:03:51,369 --> 01:03:52,837
In a week.

841
01:03:55,248 --> 01:03:57,046
Blue can live
at the school with me.

842
01:03:59,419 --> 01:04:01,888
No, that's...not allowed.

843
01:04:03,715 --> 01:04:06,969
Is Mum's house near the school'?
He'll stay with her.

844
01:04:06,968 --> 01:04:10,723
Your mother's not in a house.
She's in a...facility.

845
01:04:10,722 --> 01:04:12,019
She can visit you at school,

846
01:04:12,015 --> 01:04:13,392
but she's not allowed
to keep a dog.

847
01:04:13,391 --> 01:04:16,235
I can do my school here. I'll
do it really well. I promise.

848
01:04:16,227 --> 01:04:19,151
All boys your age leave
the stations for education.

849
01:04:19,147 --> 01:04:20,569
And your mother...

850
01:04:22,067 --> 01:04:25,116
...my daughter...she's trying.

851
01:04:25,111 --> 01:04:28,035
She wants to eventually...
make a home for you.

852
01:04:28,031 --> 01:04:30,830
She...she wants
what's best for you.

853
01:04:30,825 --> 01:04:32,748
She has no idea what's
best for me! She's crazy!

854
01:04:32,744 --> 01:04:34,587
Michael Carter!
You'll do as you're told!

855
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,297
We all have our
responsibilities,

856
01:04:36,289 --> 01:04:37,632
and yours is to your mother,

857
01:04:37,624 --> 01:04:40,047
and you'll respect that
and you'll respect her.

858
01:04:42,629 --> 01:04:44,427
Blue can stay here.

859
01:04:44,422 --> 01:04:46,049
I'll take good care of him
and...

860
01:04:46,049 --> 01:04:47,847
...you'll see him
when you visit.

861
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:50,637
He won't stay here without me.

862
01:04:50,637 --> 01:04:52,264
Why do you say that?

863
01:04:52,263 --> 01:04:54,265
Because I wouldn't stay here
without him.

864
01:05:05,777 --> 01:05:08,405
This whole place
can just go to hell.

865
01:05:24,212 --> 01:05:25,634
Come on, Blue.

866
01:05:37,142 --> 01:05:38,564
You got a plan?

867
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,733
- We do.
- What be it?

868
01:05:40,728 --> 01:05:42,696
We're gonna push to the
territories and become outlaws.

869
01:05:42,689 --> 01:05:44,783
Maybe after a while,
we'll find a ship.

870
01:05:44,774 --> 01:05:46,868
We're gonna work our way
to San Francisco.

871
01:05:46,860 --> 01:05:48,157
That's in America.

872
01:05:48,153 --> 01:05:49,325
Yeah, I know where it is.

873
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:50,572
You can come with us
if you want.

874
01:05:50,572 --> 01:05:52,324
Tempting, it is,
but I'll be headed soon

875
01:05:52,323 --> 01:05:54,246
to Wattie Creek and Wave Hill.

876
01:05:54,242 --> 01:05:56,085
My uncle is a Gurindji man.

877
01:05:57,370 --> 01:05:58,997
We're gonna take back our land,
we are.

878
01:05:58,997 --> 01:06:00,419
I wish you luck.

879
01:06:16,723 --> 01:06:19,772
<i>Dear Betty,
Thank you for the education.</i>

880
01:06:19,767 --> 01:06:21,064
<i>I hope we meet again,</i>

881
01:06:21,060 --> 01:06:23,779
<i>perhaps across the seas
in a summer of love.</i>

882
01:06:23,771 --> 01:06:26,445
<i>Most sincerely yours,
Mick and Blue.</i>

883
01:06:26,441 --> 01:06:28,193
Mr Hudson?

884
01:06:28,193 --> 01:06:30,537
Mr Hudson!

885
01:06:30,528 --> 01:06:32,371
I think Mick has run away!

886
01:06:37,410 --> 01:06:39,128
Come on!

887
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,043
Oh-ho! Yeah!

888
01:07:26,459 --> 01:07:28,803
It's heading towards
the homestead, Blue.

889
01:07:45,770 --> 01:07:47,989
Mr Hudson,
we're running out of water!

890
01:07:47,981 --> 01:07:49,699
- Grandpa!
- Michael!

891
01:07:49,691 --> 01:07:51,534
Michael, you go
with Taylor Pete.

892
01:07:51,526 --> 01:07:52,948
Help him refill the drum.

893
01:07:52,944 --> 01:07:55,163
Thought you would have been
a fearsome outlaw by now.

894
01:07:55,154 --> 01:07:56,656
How did it happen?

895
01:07:56,656 --> 01:07:59,079
I don't know.
Angry spirits, maybe?

896
01:07:59,075 --> 01:08:00,497
What do you reckon?

897
01:08:01,703 --> 01:08:04,172
How would I know?
They ain't my spirits.

898
01:08:49,042 --> 01:08:50,885
That fire's a marlunghu, it is.

899
01:08:50,877 --> 01:08:52,379
Everything's a marlunghu
to you.

900
01:08:52,378 --> 01:08:54,051
Only when it's trying
to kill me!

901
01:09:01,971 --> 01:09:03,223
I'll be back.

902
01:09:03,222 --> 01:09:04,644
Where are you going?

903
01:09:04,641 --> 01:09:06,268
There's something I have to do.

904
01:09:53,231 --> 01:09:55,029
This has brought me
and everyone else

905
01:09:55,024 --> 01:09:56,651
nothing but trouble.

906
01:09:56,651 --> 01:09:58,619
I was wrong to take it.

907
01:09:58,611 --> 01:10:00,705
I hope, Mr Mukkine, sir...

908
01:10:00,697 --> 01:10:02,290
...you can accept my apology.

909
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:36,908
Bugger!

910
01:10:39,694 --> 01:10:43,119
You've never
experienced true darkness.

911
01:10:43,114 --> 01:10:45,412
There's always some light.

912
01:10:45,408 --> 01:10:47,627
An exit sign or...

913
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:49,962
...a light from a phone or a TV,

914
01:10:49,954 --> 01:10:51,627
or even the stars.

915
01:10:51,622 --> 01:10:55,422
But blackness -
true blackness -

916
01:10:55,418 --> 01:10:58,012
has a power all of its own.

917
01:10:58,004 --> 01:11:00,473
It doesn't just swallow light.

918
01:11:00,465 --> 01:11:02,888
It's like it swallows
your soul.

919
01:11:25,698 --> 01:11:27,746
<i>How'd you get out?</i>

920
01:11:37,376 --> 01:11:38,844
Blue.

921
01:11:38,836 --> 01:11:40,679
<i>He saved my life.</i>

922
01:11:41,714 --> 01:11:43,933
<i>He pushed close
and I held on to his tail,</i>

923
01:11:43,925 --> 01:11:45,768
<i>and he led me out.</i>

924
01:11:55,353 --> 01:11:57,026
Stemple, up here!

925
01:11:57,980 --> 01:11:59,402
Here, Jimmy!

926
01:12:02,318 --> 01:12:04,616
Here! Take this!

927
01:12:04,612 --> 01:12:06,410
Over here!

928
01:12:17,166 --> 01:12:19,589
<i>We fought it
up to the base of the ridge,</i>

929
01:12:19,585 --> 01:12:22,464
<i>the homestead
on the other side.</i>

930
01:12:22,463 --> 01:12:25,012
<i>Nothing we did could stop it.</i>

931
01:12:28,928 --> 01:12:31,898
<i>And then</i> - <i>I don't know</i> -

932
01:12:31,889 --> 01:12:34,984
<i>maybe the spirits
changed their mind.</i>

933
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:38,771
<i>The wind turned</i>

934
01:12:38,771 --> 01:12:41,115
<i>and the fire pushed back
on itself.</i>

935
01:12:44,193 --> 01:12:46,116
<i>As suddenly
as it had started...</i>

936
01:12:47,530 --> 01:12:48,998
<i>"it was over.</i>

937
01:13:16,601 --> 01:13:18,353
I'm sorry, Grandpa.

938
01:13:20,396 --> 01:13:23,024
For running away
and other things.

939
01:13:23,024 --> 01:13:24,867
Don't know about
the other things,

940
01:13:24,859 --> 01:13:26,577
but we all run away
some time or other.

941
01:13:28,821 --> 01:13:30,664
It's how we return
that means something.

942
01:13:32,116 --> 01:13:33,663
Shows who we are.

943
01:13:42,752 --> 01:13:45,380
I'm a stubborn man.

944
01:13:47,548 --> 01:13:49,016
On a hard land.

945
01:13:51,594 --> 01:13:54,063
Never told your mother
just how much she means to me.

946
01:13:56,307 --> 01:13:58,730
But know this.

947
01:13:58,726 --> 01:13:59,943
You may go away,

948
01:13:59,936 --> 01:14:02,610
but there'll always be a home
here for you, with me.

949
01:14:02,605 --> 01:14:04,607
Just know that,
'cause that's the truth.

950
01:14:06,567 --> 01:14:08,035
I know.

951
01:15:05,418 --> 01:15:07,011
OK, then'?

952
01:15:07,003 --> 01:15:09,677
OK. I guess we'll...

953
01:15:10,923 --> 01:15:12,891
Write when you can.

954
01:15:12,883 --> 01:15:14,931
Aren't you taking me
to Port Hedland?

955
01:15:14,927 --> 01:15:16,725
No, Stemple is.

956
01:15:18,097 --> 01:15:19,974
OK.

957
01:15:19,974 --> 01:15:21,567
OK, then.

958
01:15:45,708 --> 01:15:47,631
You're taking me
to Port Hedland Airstrip?

959
01:15:47,626 --> 01:15:50,004
Yeah. I've got to pick up
some parts.

960
01:15:58,095 --> 01:15:59,563
Rub hard.

961
01:16:04,018 --> 01:16:05,565
Rub nice and deep.

962
01:16:09,023 --> 01:16:10,696
Now it'll never come out.

963
01:16:11,942 --> 01:16:14,616
It may disappear,
but it'll always be there.

964
01:16:16,155 --> 01:16:17,532
To remember.

965
01:16:26,123 --> 01:16:28,046
Blue...

966
01:16:28,042 --> 01:16:29,589
...I'm going away now

967
01:16:29,585 --> 01:16:31,929
and it's gonna be a while
before I can come back.

968
01:16:31,921 --> 01:16:34,595
I need you to stay here.

969
01:16:34,590 --> 01:16:36,217
I promise I'll come back
as soon as I can,

970
01:16:36,217 --> 01:16:37,719
but please stay.

971
01:16:39,261 --> 01:16:40,683
Stay for me.

972
01:17:46,620 --> 01:17:48,714
Stay, Blue, stay!

973
01:17:48,706 --> 01:17:50,925
Please stay!

974
01:19:26,428 --> 01:19:28,897
He didn't stay, did he?

975
01:19:30,349 --> 01:19:31,896
No.

976
01:19:44,571 --> 01:19:47,541
<i>For a while,
he hung around the station.</i>

977
01:19:54,206 --> 01:19:56,504
<i>Then I heard he visited
Miaree Pool.</i>

978
01:20:04,383 --> 01:20:06,135
<i>The northern plateau.</i>

979
01:20:09,430 --> 01:20:13,230
<i>And even hitchhiked rides into
Roebourne and Port Hedland.</i>

980
01:20:16,812 --> 01:20:20,567
<i>But his wandering went
further and longer...</i>

981
01:20:23,402 --> 01:20:24,870
<i>...and then one day...</i>

982
01:20:26,488 --> 01:20:28,661
<i>...he didn't come back.</i>

983
01:20:28,657 --> 01:20:30,079
<i>He was gone.</i>

984
01:20:31,744 --> 01:20:33,587
And Blue became Red.

985
01:20:33,579 --> 01:20:37,379
Well, I don't know for sure,
but I think so.

986
01:20:37,374 --> 01:20:40,548
That town really cared for him,
so I hope so.

987
01:20:40,544 --> 01:20:42,922
- And you, Dad'?
- Me?

988
01:20:42,921 --> 01:20:45,219
Well...you know
what happened to me.

989
01:20:45,215 --> 01:20:47,309
L...l finished school,

990
01:20:47,301 --> 01:20:50,475
I finally made it to university
in San Francisco...

991
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,148
...and then...

992
01:20:54,892 --> 01:20:57,941
...one summer,
I met and fell in love with...

993
01:20:57,936 --> 01:21:00,189
...this amazing girl
from Sydney.

994
01:21:00,189 --> 01:21:01,691
Your mum.

995
01:21:01,690 --> 01:21:06,366
I came home, got married,
started work and...

996
01:21:06,362 --> 01:21:09,206
"eventually, we were
lucky enough...

997
01:21:10,699 --> 01:21:13,452
...to have two fantastic
little boys.

998
01:21:13,452 --> 01:21:15,079
You see?

999
01:21:15,079 --> 01:21:17,958
Not all stories
end sadly, Theo.

1000
01:21:17,956 --> 01:21:19,879
Change isn't always bad.

1001
01:21:21,168 --> 01:21:24,297
The good memories we have,
we get to keep.

1002
01:21:30,302 --> 01:21:32,020
I love you, Dad.

1003
01:21:34,848 --> 01:21:36,441
Love you too, Theo.

1004
01:21:57,788 --> 01:21:59,256
Hey.

1005
01:21:59,248 --> 01:22:00,750
Oh. Hey.

1006
01:22:00,749 --> 01:22:02,217
How was your night?

1007
01:22:03,794 --> 01:22:05,637
- Mmm.
- Mmm!

1008
01:22:07,047 --> 01:22:08,640
I'm guessing it was good.

1009
01:22:08,632 --> 01:22:11,181
Listen, I was thinking -

1010
01:22:11,176 --> 01:22:13,304
and please don't
fight me on this...

1011
01:22:14,471 --> 01:22:16,018
...I think we should
get Theo a dog.

1012
01:22:17,433 --> 01:22:18,855
What do you say?

1013
01:22:24,106 --> 01:22:25,904
- Mmm.
- Is that a yes?

1014
01:22:25,899 --> 01:22:27,321
Yes.

1015
01:22:45,836 --> 01:22:48,180
<i>X Doin' the best you can</i>

1016
01:22:51,383 --> 01:22:53,932
<i>I As long as you lend a hand</i>

1017
01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:20,958
<i>r Even if they say you're wrong</i>
