Storm Boy (2019)

1
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:03,248
Lookout post.

2
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:04,874
Clear for miles.

3
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:06,418
Now, you'll never get lost.

4
00:02:11,756 --> 00:02:12,716
Dad!

5
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:14,801
Dad, no!

6
00:02:23,727 --> 00:02:25,103
Didn't sleep on the flight?

7
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:26,813
Not much.

8
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:30,900
- Well, I'm glad you could make it.
- Of course.

9
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:33,820
I'd never miss today.

10
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Despite my busy schedule.

11
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,325
How was the Danube?

12
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:40,702
Not blue.

13
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:44,289
It's all part of the walkabout.

14
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:48,918
I'll have Adam drop you back
after the vote. Shouldn't take long.

15
00:02:50,086 --> 00:02:50,920
Thanks.

16
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:53,048
Maddie's looking forward
to seeing you.

17
00:02:55,091 --> 00:02:57,844
- How is she?
- She's missing her mum.

18
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:01,473
<i>No mining in the Pilbara!
Keep the Pilbara safe!</i>

19
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,849
What's all this?

20
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:05,727
<i>No mining in the Pilbara!</i>

21
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:09,689
<i>Keep the Pilbara safe!
Hands off the Pilbara!</i>

22
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:14,152
<i>No mining in the Pilbara!
Hands off the Pilbara!</i>

23
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,113
Mr Kingley! Mr Downer!

24
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:21,659
Mr Kingley, are you here to vote?
Can I get a statement, sir?

25
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:27,415
Will you be voting yes
to leasing the farmland?

26
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:29,376
Mr Kingley!

27
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:34,673
- You go in, I'll talk to the hands.
- Thought we had this all under control.

28
00:03:34,839 --> 00:03:35,882
We do. Just ignore them.

29
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,426
Okay, you look after Michael.
I will take care of this.

30
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:41,054
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
Ladies, ladies, please.

31
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:47,060
All right. The decision to lease
the farmlands for sustainable mining

32
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,604
has the support
of all local communities.

33
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:53,983
After the votes, King Pastoral will
release a full statement outlining

34
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,236
our intentions in the region.

35
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,988
- Mr Kingley.
- Thank you very much. Now, go home.

36
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:02,492
Sir, do you even care?
Do you have a conscience?

37
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:08,415
I'll come for you
once everyone's assembled.

38
00:04:22,721 --> 00:04:25,724
- Maddie, hi.
- Grandpa, you've gotta stop him.

39
00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:29,060
<i>- Dear, no. What do you mean?
</i>-My father.

40
00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:30,395
<i>But are you okay?</i>

41
00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,564
- I tried to call you.
<i>- Know what he's doing?</i>

42
00:04:32,731 --> 00:04:36,818
If I was 18...
If I was on the board, I'd stop him.

43
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:38,778
<i>I'll send you a link.</i>

44
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:42,323
Madeline...

45
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:43,825
I'll just be a minute.

46
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:47,412
No phones during school hours.
Madeline, now!

47
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:49,873
Just read it.

48
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,958
<i>- I gotta go.
- Thank you.</i>

49
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,795
Pick it up at the end of school.

50
00:05:07,724 --> 00:05:08,808
Mr Kingley.

51
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:11,770
- We're ready for you.
- Sure.

52
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,026
- Just come through.
- This budget is very impressive.

53
00:05:18,193 --> 00:05:20,862
We'll just be a couple of minutes.
Wanna take a seat over there?

54
00:05:21,404 --> 00:05:22,238
Sure.

55
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:27,369
Just make sure,
we're supposed to call a specialist.

56
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,871
Cal. Julie.

57
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:34,334
- Michael. Good to see you.
- Michael, how are things?

58
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,712
I'd say there's a storm a-brewing.

59
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,758
You'll never guess what I found.

60
00:05:41,925 --> 00:05:44,469
Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs.

61
00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:47,347
- Where'd you get them?
- Singapore.

62
00:05:48,515 --> 00:05:50,809
- Oh, Michael.
- You don't have to share.

63
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:51,976
I bought a stash.

64
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:22,007
Oh, Jesus!

65
00:06:44,654 --> 00:06:45,488
Michael!

66
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,199
Michael, be careful!

67
00:06:56,291 --> 00:06:57,459
What the heck was that?

68
00:06:58,168 --> 00:07:01,004
You okay? No glass get you?

69
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:02,255
I'm fine.

70
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,591
We're gonna have to reconvene
tomorrow for the vote.

71
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:06,426
Room's a mess. I have to fly to Sydney.

72
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:09,804
I thought we were planning
to have dinner with Maddie.

73
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:11,765
I can't. I have to romance
the investors.

74
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,516
So we can make a toast to Sonia.

75
00:07:14,851 --> 00:07:18,271
I'm sorry, but you know how it is.
We'll all go out tomorrow.

76
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:21,691
She sent me this.

77
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,236
Oh, Jesus. Look, it's not an issue.

78
00:07:25,403 --> 00:07:28,948
The land's been deregistered. You saw.
The elders are at the table with us.

79
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:33,078
- She was pretty angry.
- You know what it's like at that age.

80
00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:37,040
Thinking everything your father does
is wrong or corrupt.

81
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,000
It's nothing. I promise you.

82
00:07:41,252 --> 00:07:43,046
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yes.

83
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:45,548
Tomorrow, Malcolm.

84
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:47,759
It's important.

85
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:49,969
Tomorrow.

86
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:56,476
- Is he gonna be all right?
- He'll be fine.

87
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:10,133
Did you see the birds?

88
00:09:12,594 --> 00:09:13,970
You're supposed to knock.

89
00:09:14,721 --> 00:09:18,224
That's the deal.
I don't lock, and everyone knocks.

90
00:09:21,353 --> 00:09:24,147
Did you see them on the beach?
The pelicans?

91
00:09:24,314 --> 00:09:26,107
- Did you read the article?
- Maddie...

92
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:29,361
- Did you read it?
- It's your dad's company now.

93
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:31,029
It was yours once.

94
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:32,864
Yours and Mum's.

95
00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:36,368
In no time at all, you'll be sitting
on the board with your quarter share,

96
00:09:36,534 --> 00:09:39,579
- and you can debate your dad.
- It'll be too late by then.

97
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:42,207
They'll have dug up half
of Western Australia.

98
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:45,377
I'm just a link to old clients.
I don't make policy anymore.

99
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:48,421
This will ruin the waterways and destroy
their indigenous homelands.

100
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:51,466
- It's not right. You must see that.
- What do you want me to do?

101
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:53,760
- Stop him!
- I can't do that.

102
00:09:54,386 --> 00:09:55,929
You're just like everyone else.

103
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,598
- Gutless!
- Don't say that, Mads.

104
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:03,395
- Not today.
- Mum would've been disgusted with you.

105
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:17,826
And no.

106
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,830
I didn't see anything on the beach.

107
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:29,457
Grandpa.

108
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:38,758
Grandpa.

109
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:47,517
I'm sorry about shouting.

110
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:52,063
I know none of this is really your fault,

111
00:12:53,356 --> 00:12:54,941
but I just get so angry.

112
00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:59,612
I once believed in things
like you do, Maddie.

113
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:03,283
Things that were special to me.

114
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:18,798
You okay, Grandpa?

115
00:13:21,176 --> 00:13:23,094
How are you, Mads?

116
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:24,179
I'm fine.

117
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:28,308
Well, I'm seeing birds.

118
00:13:31,353 --> 00:13:34,022
The beach I grew up on was filled
with them.

119
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:40,070
I had problems with my father,

120
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:41,696
just like you.

121
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:45,658
I was angry.

122
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:46,951
I didn't talk.

123
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:49,412
I was so...

124
00:13:52,791 --> 00:13:54,751
I don't know why I'm telling you all this.

125
00:13:55,794 --> 00:13:57,629
You go to bed.
I'll see you in the morning.

126
00:13:57,796 --> 00:13:59,214
I can stay up.

127
00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:03,885
- I don't wanna leave you out here alone.
- I'm fine.

128
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:08,348
It's just...

129
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:11,101
Mum.

130
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:14,771
Her birthday.

131
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,314
Yeah.

132
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:25,198
You're looking more and more like her
every time I see you.

133
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:32,789
Tell me about growing up on the beach.

134
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:35,375
Mum never told me anything.

135
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:43,091
Please?

136
00:14:49,347 --> 00:14:51,057
It was called Ninety Mile Beach.

137
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,187
I lived there for most of my childhood.

138
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:03,778
<i>My home was a little shack,</i>

139
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:08,241
<i>perched on a long stretch
of sand hills and scrub.</i>

140
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,037
<i>Just down south in the Coorong.</i>

141
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,334
<i>Shallow water on one side
and a massive ocean on the other.</i>

142
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:20,628
<i>We left the city.</i>

143
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:24,716
<i>My dad wanted to be as far away
from anyone as possible.</i>

144
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:29,804
<i>We'd go for days and weeks
without seeing another person.</i>

145
00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:33,516
<i>I spent my days on the sea.</i>

146
00:15:37,187 --> 00:15:39,272
<i>And my nights doing home school.</i>

147
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:43,360
"Now, tell us. What's your name?

148
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:49,240
Percival Wemys Madison, the...

149
00:15:49,407 --> 00:15:52,660
- The Vicarage."
- Vicarage.

150
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:54,913
It's a priest's house.

151
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:01,920
"The Vicarage, Harcourt Street.

152
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:07,384
Antone... Anthony, Hants."

153
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:11,721
<i>And in the mornings,
I watched the birds.</i>

154
00:16:14,182 --> 00:16:16,935
<i>The world might have seemed harsh
to my dad and me...</i>

155
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:19,646
<i>but not to them.</i>

156
00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:22,190
<i>They were home.</i>

157
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:46,047
I didn't really know any other life.
I was cut off from the world.

158
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:49,592
Then one day, the world came to me.

159
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:07,003
He's come in again.

160
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:10,799
- Needed supplies. Kero.
- How's his boy, say?

161
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,008
He said he's fine.

162
00:18:12,175 --> 00:18:14,302
It's not right.
A boy living alone out there...

163
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:15,553
Leave him be.

164
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:19,766
Here you are.

165
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:25,188
- Settle up next time?
- No worries.

166
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:37,158
That's all town's talking about.

167
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:39,160
Ten thousand acres.

168
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:42,455
See, the hunters want it for shooting.

169
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:45,792
The other folks wanna turn it
into what they call a sanctuary.

170
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:50,797
- It's a safe place for the birds.
- Well, what do you think will happen?

171
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:52,590
I think the vote'll be close,

172
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:55,802
but, knowing people,
they'll probably side with the hunters.

173
00:18:56,219 --> 00:18:57,971
Who cares about a bunch of birds?

174
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:00,158
It's a midden.

175
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:06,706
Proper white man word is "midden."

176
00:20:07,791 --> 00:20:09,709
They used to crack shellfish here.

177
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:11,169
Good tucker.

178
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:13,338
Where do you come from?

179
00:20:14,798 --> 00:20:15,799
Just about.

180
00:20:18,259 --> 00:20:19,135
You scared of me?

181
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:21,221
No.

182
00:20:22,138 --> 00:20:23,807
Fingerbone Bill's my name.

183
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:29,479
You know what I call you?

184
00:20:34,651 --> 00:20:37,320
Because you walk in the big blow,
I've seen you.

185
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:40,490
I've seen you too.

186
00:20:41,324 --> 00:20:42,325
See.

187
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,163
We know each other.
No reason to be scared.

188
00:20:48,665 --> 00:20:51,334
My people made camp here,
long time ago.

189
00:20:51,501 --> 00:20:53,253
No white fellas.

190
00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:56,297
For thousands of years,
just black fellas.

191
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:04,222
Well, if I lived here back then,
I'd have been a black fella.

192
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:06,599
Reckon it so.

193
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:10,020
Hey, you're right. Telling it proper.

194
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,305
There'll be a storm soon.

195
00:21:47,182 --> 00:21:50,226
When pelican is killed,
there'll always be storm.

196
00:21:59,027 --> 00:21:59,861
Look!

197
00:22:05,283 --> 00:22:07,410
- They're alive.
- Yeah.

198
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:10,246
The other birds will look
after them, right?

199
00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:13,208
It's not their way, <i>Mantawu Mgauriri</i>.

200
00:22:13,375 --> 00:22:14,793
We can't let them die.

201
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:17,087
They're too young.
There's nothing we can do.

202
00:22:18,713 --> 00:22:19,923
They won't die.

203
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:49,327
Good to go.

204
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:13,977
Morning.

205
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:16,479
Michael!

206
00:23:18,356 --> 00:23:20,442
Oh, God.

207
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:25,363
I must have fallen asleep,
I completely crashed.

208
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:35,290
Thanks for the coffee, Angela.

209
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,088
Thought you might need
a hair of the dog, Grandpa.

210
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:48,762
Go on, then. I'll take a wallop.

211
00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:52,557
- One wallop coming right up.
- Come on!

212
00:23:52,724 --> 00:23:55,435
Finish your coffee.
You gotta get a move on.

213
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:57,729
I've got my first two periods free.
It's fine.

214
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:02,442
God.

215
00:24:05,278 --> 00:24:07,572
So tell me more about the birds.

216
00:24:08,823 --> 00:24:10,909
I thought you weren't interested.
You fell asleep.

217
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,119
No, I heard it all.

218
00:24:13,912 --> 00:24:14,829
Tell me.

219
00:24:16,539 --> 00:24:17,499
Yeah?

220
00:24:19,084 --> 00:24:24,130
Oh, I had no idea what to do next.
How to keep those birds alive.

221
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:27,550
Grab some grass.

222
00:24:31,096 --> 00:24:33,556
<i>There were no vets
on Ninety Mile Beach.</i>

223
00:24:33,723 --> 00:24:35,975
<i>Or libraries to look stuff up.</i>

224
00:24:46,611 --> 00:24:48,321
- Here you go.
- Thanks.

225
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:51,032
- Come on in.
- Your father here?

226
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:53,159
No, it's okay.

227
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:54,327
Come in.

228
00:24:54,494 --> 00:24:58,415
This is his house. We have not met.
I'll stay out here.

229
00:25:07,716 --> 00:25:10,635
It's gonna be okay. Gonna be okay now.

230
00:25:11,344 --> 00:25:12,178
Hear me?

231
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:14,472
What you gonna feed them?

232
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:19,477
- Dad's got some bait.
- They can't eat proper fish.

233
00:25:20,103 --> 00:25:21,187
They're too small.

234
00:25:35,493 --> 00:25:38,288
- What's that?
- Help them not get sick.

235
00:25:41,332 --> 00:25:42,542
How are you gonna feed them?

236
00:25:44,085 --> 00:25:46,338
Reckon you're gonna have to do it
like their mum does.

237
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:51,468
I can't do it like their mum. They stick
their head in her mouth and she...

238
00:25:52,886 --> 00:25:54,137
Chucks up into them.

239
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,307
I can't do that. It's...

240
00:26:03,855 --> 00:26:05,065
I've got an idea.

241
00:26:14,074 --> 00:26:16,701
I don't think this is a good idea!

242
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,706
In fact, I'm sure it's a bad idea!

243
00:26:21,873 --> 00:26:23,333
Just do it!

244
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:38,848
Special one.

245
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:41,267
It's good.

246
00:26:44,979 --> 00:26:46,773
Please. Please.

247
00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:58,118
- It worked.
- Give them as much as they'll take.

248
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,829
Get them strong, <i>Mantawu Mgauriri</i>.

249
00:27:02,163 --> 00:27:05,875
- Where are you going?
- Gonna wash good in the rain.

250
00:27:06,042 --> 00:27:07,460
I smell something fierce.

251
00:27:48,877 --> 00:27:51,671
What's that smell?
You've been cutting up fish?

252
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:55,008
- I've got something to show you, Dad.
- What's all over you?

253
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:58,470
I used the outboard
to make some food. They like it.

254
00:28:00,597 --> 00:28:02,057
Where did you find them?

255
00:28:03,058 --> 00:28:04,476
In the sand hills.

256
00:28:04,642 --> 00:28:07,145
Hunters killed their mum.
Fingerbone said they would've died

257
00:28:07,312 --> 00:28:08,897
- if I hadn't brought them home.
- Who?

258
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:11,274
Fingerbone. He helped me.

259
00:28:12,817 --> 00:28:14,319
He said he didn't wanna come in.

260
00:28:14,486 --> 00:28:16,321
He said it wasn't right
if you weren't home.

261
00:28:16,946 --> 00:28:18,156
He's my friend, Dad.

262
00:28:19,866 --> 00:28:22,160
He said to be like their mum.
She pukes down their throat.

263
00:28:22,327 --> 00:28:24,788
- I wasn't gonna do that.
- No.

264
00:28:24,954 --> 00:28:25,872
So I made this.

265
00:28:26,706 --> 00:28:28,041
Dad, can I keep them?

266
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:33,171
- Well, the little one looks pretty weak.
- Please? I'll look after them good.

267
00:28:34,255 --> 00:28:35,924
Let's just see how we go.

268
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:45,975
Good day.

269
00:28:47,811 --> 00:28:48,645
Good day.

270
00:28:49,354 --> 00:28:50,188
I'm Tom.

271
00:28:51,356 --> 00:28:52,190
Hideaway Tom.

272
00:28:52,941 --> 00:28:54,901
- That's what they call you.
- I know.

273
00:28:56,611 --> 00:28:59,906
- This your idea, then? The birds?
- No.

274
00:29:00,699 --> 00:29:01,825
I just helped.

275
00:29:02,617 --> 00:29:05,578
- It was <i>Mantawu Mgauriri's</i> thought.
- Sorry?

276
00:29:05,745 --> 00:29:07,997
<i>Mantawu Mgauriri</i>, that's his name.

277
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:12,794
I haven't seen him this excited
in a long time.

278
00:29:14,045 --> 00:29:16,339
He'll proper take good care
of the birds.

279
00:29:17,048 --> 00:29:19,009
Let's hope they make it
through the night.

280
00:29:24,055 --> 00:29:27,726
Can I come back in the morning?
See how they're doing?

281
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:31,021
I don't see why not.

282
00:29:52,876 --> 00:29:54,169
You're the littlest.

283
00:29:59,049 --> 00:29:59,966
Come on.

284
00:30:00,675 --> 00:30:02,135
Gotta keep eating.

285
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:09,684
Please.

286
00:30:17,275 --> 00:30:18,234
Dad.

287
00:30:19,611 --> 00:30:21,237
Could I use your scarf?

288
00:30:26,451 --> 00:30:27,702
Promise to give it back?

289
00:30:30,747 --> 00:30:31,581
Promise.

290
00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:55,647
Aren't you getting into bed?

291
00:30:56,981 --> 00:30:59,859
No, I'm just gonna sleep
down here with them.

292
00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:02,070
So they know someone's here.

293
00:31:06,157 --> 00:31:07,242
It's a good idea.

294
00:31:09,411 --> 00:31:10,245
Night.

295
00:31:11,371 --> 00:31:12,330
Good night, Dad.

296
00:31:45,405 --> 00:31:46,948
Please don't die.

297
00:32:13,516 --> 00:32:14,476
Come on in.

298
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:41,544
I brought him into bed. It's warmer.

299
00:32:47,676 --> 00:32:48,802
They didn't die.

300
00:32:52,847 --> 00:32:55,934
They're going to, aren't they?

301
00:32:56,101 --> 00:32:59,312
- Those birds were tough.
- They're gonna die.

302
00:32:59,479 --> 00:33:00,313
I know it.

303
00:33:01,356 --> 00:33:04,943
Excuse me, Michael.
Adam's here to drive you.

304
00:33:08,238 --> 00:33:09,406
Do you have to go?

305
00:33:12,033 --> 00:33:12,909
For the vote?

306
00:33:13,076 --> 00:33:15,578
- Yeah.
- So Dad's back?

307
00:33:15,745 --> 00:33:18,415
- I imagine so.
- I hate him.

308
00:33:18,581 --> 00:33:20,417
- Maddie.
- I do!

309
00:33:28,049 --> 00:33:30,301
Maddie. Mads?

310
00:33:33,263 --> 00:33:34,597
Why are you still here?

311
00:33:34,764 --> 00:33:37,142
It's still early.
I could do with the exercise.

312
00:33:38,184 --> 00:33:42,022
Do you fancy a morning's constitutional
on the rocks?

313
00:33:48,778 --> 00:33:51,573
I had to feed those birds
eight times a day.

314
00:33:53,491 --> 00:33:55,660
Even Dad tried to help out.

315
00:33:57,287 --> 00:34:00,206
There. I call it "Tom's twister."

316
00:34:00,999 --> 00:34:04,711
Put your oil, your fish, your kelp,
and whatnot...

317
00:34:04,878 --> 00:34:06,046
Put her in there.

318
00:34:09,257 --> 00:34:11,301
"Sim Sala Bim." Instant muck.

319
00:34:11,468 --> 00:34:13,303
Until you can start
feeding them whole fish,

320
00:34:13,470 --> 00:34:15,305
it's gotta be better
than using my outboard.

321
00:35:24,207 --> 00:35:28,211
We are never going to sleep again.

322
00:35:29,087 --> 00:35:30,255
Never!

323
00:35:32,007 --> 00:35:33,133
You using my glass?

324
00:35:40,724 --> 00:35:43,935
You'd think I was granddad pelican,
the way they're turning to me for food.

325
00:35:44,102 --> 00:35:45,478
Well, you sort of are now.

326
00:35:46,896 --> 00:35:49,482
Look at this bloke,
sitting up like he owns the place.

327
00:35:49,649 --> 00:35:50,817
That's Mr Proud.

328
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,529
- Oh, you've named them?
- Yeah.

329
00:35:56,031 --> 00:35:59,659
This is Mr Ponder
because he's very wise and serious.

330
00:35:59,826 --> 00:36:01,327
Mr Proud, Mr Ponder.

331
00:36:02,245 --> 00:36:04,956
What about this little bloke?
What's he then, Mr Peep?

332
00:36:05,832 --> 00:36:07,292
It's Mr Percival.

333
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,462
Like the boy in the book I read.

334
00:36:11,629 --> 00:36:13,840
The smallest and the weakest...

335
00:36:14,549 --> 00:36:15,800
but he doesn't die.

336
00:36:18,219 --> 00:36:20,680
Well, you keep feeding him...

337
00:36:22,557 --> 00:36:24,059
he'll grow up to be big and strong.

338
00:37:56,651 --> 00:37:57,986
Go on. Hey, just wait.

339
00:37:58,361 --> 00:37:59,863
Be patient, please.

340
00:38:00,030 --> 00:38:03,992
Would you just...?
Knock it off! Settle down. Oi, stop.

341
00:38:05,326 --> 00:38:06,161
Go on.

342
00:38:07,912 --> 00:38:08,872
Happy now?

343
00:38:13,543 --> 00:38:15,754
Ten pounds a day they're eating.

344
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,255
Ten pounds.

345
00:38:17,422 --> 00:38:19,132
More than we eat in a week.

346
00:38:26,431 --> 00:38:28,308
Over here, Mr Proud. Ready?

347
00:38:30,268 --> 00:38:32,562
Here you go. Grab it. Thattaboy.

348
00:38:33,730 --> 00:38:36,691
Come on. Come on, Mr Ponder.
Come here. Here, guys.

349
00:38:39,486 --> 00:38:40,945
Get it. Come on.

350
00:38:41,112 --> 00:38:42,697
That's it, Mr Percival.

351
00:38:44,949 --> 00:38:47,786
Come on, I know you want it. Kick it.

352
00:38:56,294 --> 00:38:58,129
You want hit it right now? Come get it.

353
00:38:58,630 --> 00:38:59,964
Give it to Percival.

354
00:39:46,845 --> 00:39:47,679
What are you doing?

355
00:39:50,473 --> 00:39:52,225
Just talking to the land.

356
00:39:52,392 --> 00:39:53,685
Paying my respects.

357
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:25,467
No, I'm not going out today.
You can catch your own brekkie.

358
00:40:32,015 --> 00:40:35,018
Hey. I don't care how much racket
you make. I'm not going out!

359
00:40:35,185 --> 00:40:37,604
Hey! You hear me? Piss off!

360
00:40:38,313 --> 00:40:39,606
Get out!

361
00:40:41,107 --> 00:40:44,527
Go. Shoo! Get away, go. Shoo.

362
00:40:44,694 --> 00:40:47,280
- Please, just go.
- Get out of here, you mongrels.

363
00:40:47,447 --> 00:40:49,366
You guys are gonna get us
into big trouble.

364
00:40:49,532 --> 00:40:52,369
Is a little bit of privacy
too much to ask for?

365
00:40:52,535 --> 00:40:54,037
In the middle of nowhere!

366
00:40:55,121 --> 00:40:57,832
- Can't you talk to them, Mr P?
- Get out!

367
00:40:57,999 --> 00:40:58,917
Dad's going nuts.

368
00:40:59,876 --> 00:41:03,463
Get out, you mongrels. Get out! No!

369
00:41:04,130 --> 00:41:04,964
No way!

370
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,551
You wanna buy fish?
You catch your own, don't you?

371
00:41:49,718 --> 00:41:52,303
Yeah, well, got a couple extra mouths
to feed, don't I?

372
00:41:56,891 --> 00:41:58,018
It's amazing.

373
00:41:59,185 --> 00:42:00,353
That's one word for it.

374
00:42:17,454 --> 00:42:20,707
You can use your special glass now.
We're done with it.

375
00:42:20,874 --> 00:42:22,959
Thanks, I think I'll stick with this.

376
00:42:32,802 --> 00:42:34,596
They're gonna have to go back soon.

377
00:42:36,848 --> 00:42:39,809
- Go back where?
- Well, where they belong.

378
00:42:41,603 --> 00:42:44,272
We can't afford to keep feeding them,
and even if we could,

379
00:42:45,231 --> 00:42:47,650
- a life in captivity...
- This isn't captivity.

380
00:42:47,817 --> 00:42:49,110
You know what I mean.

381
00:42:50,612 --> 00:42:52,489
Wild things need to be free.

382
00:42:53,531 --> 00:42:56,701
These birds could live
to be 30, 40 years old.

383
00:42:56,868 --> 00:42:58,745
You can't look after them all that time.

384
00:43:01,456 --> 00:43:03,875
They need to be with their own kind,
raise families.

385
00:43:08,296 --> 00:43:12,717
Son, you saved their lives.
It was a wonderful thing that you did.

386
00:43:14,302 --> 00:43:15,970
It's nearly time to set them free.

387
00:43:25,230 --> 00:43:29,067
- When?
- When they can fly, I suppose.

388
00:43:29,234 --> 00:43:30,735
You still have to teach them.

389
00:43:31,861 --> 00:43:33,905
So they can survive when they go.

390
00:43:34,989 --> 00:43:37,450
Right now these birds think
everything comes from a bucket.

391
00:43:46,459 --> 00:43:48,461
See? It's easy.

392
00:43:50,797 --> 00:43:52,173
See? You want it?

393
00:43:53,341 --> 00:43:56,011
Yummy fishy. Now... Now you try.

394
00:43:56,177 --> 00:44:01,850
Okay? Now you... Now you gotta drive
the little fishies into the shore, okay?

395
00:44:07,063 --> 00:44:09,441
Flap your wings.
You gotta do it again, okay?

396
00:44:09,983 --> 00:44:12,402
Ready? Drive them into the shore.

397
00:44:15,613 --> 00:44:16,489
See?

398
00:44:18,116 --> 00:44:19,367
Yummy fishy.

399
00:44:27,751 --> 00:44:29,461
Try that again.

400
00:44:29,627 --> 00:44:30,879
He's a good boy.

401
00:44:32,255 --> 00:44:33,381
You're a lucky man.

402
00:44:39,971 --> 00:44:41,473
Why are you out here, Bill?

403
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:45,268
The same as you.

404
00:44:48,021 --> 00:44:50,190
Didn't much like
what happened to me in the world.

405
00:44:58,490 --> 00:44:59,657
That's it, Mr Ponder.

406
00:45:02,202 --> 00:45:03,203
See, you get it.

407
00:45:05,246 --> 00:45:06,956
Yes, finally!

408
00:45:07,123 --> 00:45:08,875
Well done, Mr Ponder.

409
00:45:10,293 --> 00:45:12,587
Well done, Mr Percival. That's it.

410
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:15,548
It worked, Dad. I got it.

411
00:45:16,716 --> 00:45:18,134
Good work, everyone.

412
00:45:22,138 --> 00:45:24,391
Pelican is <i>Ngatji.</i>

413
00:45:25,892 --> 00:45:26,810
My friend.

414
00:45:27,727 --> 00:45:29,104
They can teach you many things.

415
00:45:32,399 --> 00:45:36,111
Some say, long ago, they were men.

416
00:45:36,277 --> 00:45:39,364
Riding in canoes,
watching over everything.

417
00:45:39,531 --> 00:45:43,535
That's why there be a storm
if <i>Nori</i>, or pelican, is killed.

418
00:45:43,702 --> 00:45:46,329
See, <i>Nangai,</i> my father, told me,

419
00:45:46,496 --> 00:45:49,666
if you look after <i>Ngatji,
</i>then they will look after you.

420
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,993
See? Just like that.
Then you start flying.

421
00:47:07,619 --> 00:47:08,870
Flap your wings.

422
00:47:11,873 --> 00:47:12,791
Wings out.

423
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,588
Ready? Wings out.

424
00:47:18,755 --> 00:47:22,133
Ready? Come. Flap your wings.

425
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:23,426
Come on.

426
00:47:23,593 --> 00:47:24,928
Flap your wings.

427
00:47:26,888 --> 00:47:28,098
Good job, Mr Proud!

428
00:47:29,891 --> 00:47:31,810
Ready? Like this.

429
00:47:31,976 --> 00:47:32,852
That's it.

430
00:47:35,438 --> 00:47:37,065
Flap your wings. Come on.

431
00:47:38,525 --> 00:47:40,860
That's it. Well done, Mr Ponder.

432
00:47:56,543 --> 00:47:58,128
How'd you go today?

433
00:47:58,294 --> 00:48:00,213
Mr Proud and Mr Ponder picked it up.

434
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:02,340
Mr Percival will get it tomorrow.

435
00:48:03,299 --> 00:48:05,010
You must be a good teacher.

436
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:08,865
I know you can do it, Mr Percival.

437
00:49:10,367 --> 00:49:11,701
Seen your brothers do it.

438
00:49:19,042 --> 00:49:19,876
Ready?

439
00:49:21,336 --> 00:49:24,756
Wings out. Flap. Flap. Flap.

440
00:49:24,923 --> 00:49:26,257
Good, go. Come on.

441
00:49:28,176 --> 00:49:31,179
Yes! Good job, Mr Percival.

442
00:50:15,140 --> 00:50:17,142
Can I hold Mr Percival?

443
00:50:18,977 --> 00:50:20,562
He won't go anywhere.

444
00:50:22,397 --> 00:50:23,314
Okay.

445
00:51:03,355 --> 00:51:06,149
All right. Let get this over with.

446
00:51:07,817 --> 00:51:10,445
Off you go now. Go on.

447
00:51:10,612 --> 00:51:12,405
It's time to look after yourselves.

448
00:51:13,365 --> 00:51:15,241
Off you go now. Go on.

449
00:51:15,950 --> 00:51:16,951
Off you go.

450
00:51:18,912 --> 00:51:19,954
Off you go.

451
00:51:33,885 --> 00:51:34,803
Michael.

452
00:51:40,058 --> 00:51:41,309
Goodbye.

453
00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:44,813
Lead the pack, Mr Percival.

454
00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:48,733
Look after yourself.

455
00:51:50,443 --> 00:51:51,361
Go on.

456
00:52:05,291 --> 00:52:06,209
Go on.

457
00:52:08,253 --> 00:52:09,254
Just go.

458
00:52:12,382 --> 00:52:14,592
What are you waiting for? Just go!

459
00:52:54,674 --> 00:52:58,094
I knew it.
I knew it was gonna end like this.

460
00:52:58,261 --> 00:53:01,306
Any story that's good has to go wrong
before it gets better.

461
00:53:01,473 --> 00:53:02,640
So does it?

462
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:08,646
Wait here a tick.

463
00:53:32,962 --> 00:53:34,673
- Michael.
<i>- Are you on your way</i>

464
00:53:34,839 --> 00:53:36,966
- to the board meeting?
<i>- Shortly.</i>

465
00:53:37,133 --> 00:53:39,719
Just squeezing in
my weekly Zumba class.

466
00:53:39,886 --> 00:53:41,930
Oh, Cal, for heaven's sake.

467
00:53:42,097 --> 00:53:43,723
They say it's good for me.

468
00:53:43,890 --> 00:53:46,476
Listen, have you still got a copy
of the original charter?

469
00:53:46,643 --> 00:53:49,187
- The one we drew up for King Pastoral.
- Of course, I do.

470
00:53:49,813 --> 00:53:52,732
- Could you bring it into the meeting?
- What are you up to?

471
00:53:54,150 --> 00:53:55,860
- Just bring it.
<i>- Michael.</i>

472
00:53:56,027 --> 00:54:00,115
It takes three board members to initiate
any alteration to a meeting agenda.

473
00:54:00,281 --> 00:54:01,866
Can you talk to Julie?

474
00:54:02,033 --> 00:54:03,618
She always votes with Mal.

475
00:54:03,785 --> 00:54:05,662
I think he reminds her
of her dead husband.

476
00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:07,580
Talk to her, would you?

477
00:54:07,747 --> 00:54:08,748
<i>It's important.</i>

478
00:54:11,334 --> 00:54:13,920
- Is everything okay?
- I hope so.

479
00:54:16,798 --> 00:54:17,757
Where were we?

480
00:54:19,009 --> 00:54:20,135
The birds.

481
00:54:21,052 --> 00:54:21,970
You just let them go.

482
00:54:25,807 --> 00:54:28,018
I was as sad as I'd ever been.

483
00:54:30,895 --> 00:54:33,189
<i>I felt real loneliness</i>

484
00:54:33,356 --> 00:54:34,816
<i>for the first time.</i>

485
00:55:35,085 --> 00:55:37,003
I looked for Mr Percival today.

486
00:55:39,673 --> 00:55:41,299
You shouldn't be doing that.

487
00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:43,259
I didn't see him.

488
00:55:44,552 --> 00:55:45,720
None of them.

489
00:55:47,931 --> 00:55:49,808
But I saw the hunters.

490
00:55:49,974 --> 00:55:51,768
Not far from the nests.

491
00:55:53,436 --> 00:55:54,979
Don't worry, all right?

492
00:55:55,730 --> 00:55:58,900
Vote's next month. Bit of luck, we'll get
the point turned into a sanctuary.

493
00:56:03,530 --> 00:56:05,573
You said you didn't trust people
to be smart.

494
00:56:05,740 --> 00:56:06,950
I changed my mind.

495
00:56:14,249 --> 00:56:18,670
Drove cattle out here for jobs
and never looked back.

496
00:56:19,879 --> 00:56:20,964
What about the girl?

497
00:56:21,756 --> 00:56:23,299
Don't know what happened to her.

498
00:56:24,509 --> 00:56:25,844
But there was nothing I can do.

499
00:56:27,470 --> 00:56:29,681
She was promised to someone else.

500
00:56:31,016 --> 00:56:32,559
Gotta be respecting that.

501
00:56:33,893 --> 00:56:36,771
So I had to leave.

502
00:56:37,439 --> 00:56:40,483
Leave my family, leave everyone.

503
00:56:46,656 --> 00:56:47,907
I miss my father.

504
00:56:48,825 --> 00:56:49,743
My <i>Nangai.</i>

505
00:56:51,911 --> 00:56:53,371
<i>He was a tribal elder.</i>

506
00:57:00,128 --> 00:57:02,380
<i>He taught me everything
about the land.</i>

507
00:57:37,957 --> 00:57:39,125
I was married.

508
00:57:42,087 --> 00:57:43,004
We...

509
00:57:44,297 --> 00:57:47,217
We ran a petrol station,
on the outskirts of town.

510
00:57:48,677 --> 00:57:51,680
Just a temporary thing
while I got other plans sorted.

511
00:57:56,059 --> 00:57:57,519
We were having a picnic.

512
00:58:03,858 --> 00:58:06,277
<i>Jenny and Belle, my little girl.</i>

513
00:58:06,444 --> 00:58:09,823
<i>They... They went to get ice cream.</i>

514
00:58:13,743 --> 00:58:15,578
Weren't doing anything special.

515
00:58:19,916 --> 00:58:21,292
Jenny wasn't speeding.

516
00:58:30,927 --> 00:58:34,055
Sometimes I think it's best not
to have anyone to care about.

517
00:58:38,143 --> 00:58:39,686
That way you won't get hurt.

518
00:58:46,818 --> 00:58:50,030
Hell, I'd love to just go walkabout
like you fellas do.

519
00:58:53,324 --> 00:58:54,951
That can go pretty lonely.

520
00:58:57,537 --> 00:58:58,371
Sure enough, Tom.

521
00:59:34,783 --> 00:59:36,951
Dad! Dad! Dad!

522
00:59:37,118 --> 00:59:39,079
- What is it?
- It's Mr Percival.

523
00:59:39,245 --> 00:59:42,248
He came back. He can stay, can't he?

524
00:59:46,628 --> 00:59:49,255
Yeah, I suppose we can cope
with feeding one.

525
00:59:58,223 --> 01:00:02,018
<i>From that day on, Mr Percival refused
to ever leave my side.</i>

526
01:00:03,144 --> 01:00:04,854
<i>Not for an hour.</i>

527
01:00:05,021 --> 01:00:06,272
Not for a minute.

528
01:00:07,816 --> 01:00:08,692
Never.

529
01:00:58,241 --> 01:01:01,536
Okay, you stay here and I'll hide.
No peeking.

530
01:01:02,203 --> 01:01:03,830
Make sure he doesn't cheat.

531
01:01:03,997 --> 01:01:05,832
And count to 10 for him.

532
01:01:06,916 --> 01:01:09,586
One, two,

533
01:01:10,503 --> 01:01:13,923
three, four,

534
01:01:14,090 --> 01:01:16,301
five, six,

535
01:01:16,468 --> 01:01:18,845
seven, eight, nine, 10.

536
01:01:19,012 --> 01:01:21,639
All right, Mr Percival, go find him.

537
01:01:21,806 --> 01:01:22,724
Go on.

538
01:01:51,086 --> 01:01:52,837
<i>He's in there.</i>

539
01:02:10,188 --> 01:02:11,731
You told him, Dad. You told him.

540
01:02:48,518 --> 01:02:49,644
<i>This is Mum.</i>

541
01:02:51,021 --> 01:02:52,981
And that's Belle.

542
01:02:56,067 --> 01:02:57,110
I miss them.

543
01:03:01,448 --> 01:03:05,744
I don't talk to Dad about it
because I know he misses them too.

544
01:03:07,328 --> 01:03:09,414
There's nothing he can do about it.

545
01:03:17,005 --> 01:03:19,299
They would've liked you, Mr Percival.

546
01:03:21,551 --> 01:03:23,094
They would've like you a lot.

547
01:03:46,993 --> 01:03:50,622
- Vote no, people. Next Sunday.
- Vote no.

548
01:03:50,789 --> 01:03:53,249
- Vote no to the sanctuary.
- Vote no to the sanctuary, miss.

549
01:03:54,042 --> 01:03:55,960
Here you are, sir, for you.

550
01:03:57,921 --> 01:03:59,506
Here you go, Mr Percival.

551
01:04:20,652 --> 01:04:23,863
You trying to make a point?
Bringing that bird to town?

552
01:04:24,406 --> 01:04:25,824
What? No.

553
01:04:26,449 --> 01:04:29,661
Watch yourself, kid.
Bad things can happen, you know?

554
01:04:30,745 --> 01:04:31,788
Just like that.

555
01:04:33,289 --> 01:04:35,667
Don't say I didn't warn you. Come on.

556
01:04:35,834 --> 01:04:39,295
- Come on, boy, come on.
- Come on, Mr P, let's find Dad.

557
01:04:43,591 --> 01:04:45,135
No to the sanctuary, people.

558
01:05:43,610 --> 01:05:45,028
It's okay, Mr P.

559
01:05:46,946 --> 01:05:50,241
It's okay, Mr P. Stay here, Mr Percival.

560
01:05:50,408 --> 01:05:53,203
Stay, Mr Percival. Mr Percival!

561
01:05:53,370 --> 01:05:54,371
Stop, no!

562
01:06:08,176 --> 01:06:11,179
Stop! No! Mr Percival!

563
01:06:12,889 --> 01:06:13,765
Get out of it.

564
01:06:14,683 --> 01:06:17,352
- Mr Percival! Stop, no!
- Bloody bird!

565
01:06:26,027 --> 01:06:27,445
Look what you've done.

566
01:06:33,076 --> 01:06:34,244
Come on. Let's go.

567
01:07:06,401 --> 01:07:07,694
Dad.

568
01:08:24,688 --> 01:08:25,814
There he is!

569
01:08:32,987 --> 01:08:34,280
No.

570
01:09:02,684 --> 01:09:03,601
Dad!

571
01:09:20,410 --> 01:09:21,536
Dad!

572
01:09:35,717 --> 01:09:37,052
Fingerbone, help me!

573
01:09:52,525 --> 01:09:53,651
Get the rope.

574
01:10:08,458 --> 01:10:09,459
Mr Percival!

575
01:10:11,086 --> 01:10:12,671
Get down here now!

576
01:10:18,635 --> 01:10:20,387
Here. Here. See this?

577
01:10:20,553 --> 01:10:22,222
Take it to Dad. To Dad.

578
01:10:22,847 --> 01:10:25,308
To Dad. Come on. Dad needs you.

579
01:10:25,475 --> 01:10:27,060
Come on. Take it!

580
01:10:34,984 --> 01:10:36,444
Take it to Dad.

581
01:10:38,738 --> 01:10:41,700
Go, Mr Percival! Take it to Dad!

582
01:11:00,677 --> 01:11:01,761
No!

583
01:11:08,518 --> 01:11:09,352
Got it!

584
01:11:19,612 --> 01:11:20,613
Here, Mr P!

585
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:28,496
Here, Fingerbone.

586
01:11:31,458 --> 01:11:32,292
There you go.

587
01:11:56,816 --> 01:12:00,362
- Not much left. Hey! The rope!
- Fingerbone!

588
01:13:09,264 --> 01:13:10,348
Dad!

589
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,010
I can't believe it.

590
01:13:48,386 --> 01:13:49,721
It was a miracle.

591
01:13:50,722 --> 01:13:52,849
My dad was saved by a pelican.

592
01:13:54,142 --> 01:13:55,477
So it all worked out?

593
01:13:57,103 --> 01:13:58,897
It's not over yet, Mads.

594
01:13:59,939 --> 01:14:01,232
What does that mean?

595
01:14:02,776 --> 01:14:04,486
I want to show you something.

596
01:14:07,530 --> 01:14:08,907
It's a bit of a hike.

597
01:14:09,908 --> 01:14:11,534
Are you going to the board meeting?

598
01:14:13,036 --> 01:14:14,371
No, I'm not.

599
01:14:16,373 --> 01:14:18,583
One thing you'll discover, Mads,

600
01:14:18,750 --> 01:14:21,878
sometimes you forget
the best things you ever learned.

601
01:14:22,045 --> 01:14:26,591
- Like how to live like a pelican.
- What happened after the storm?

602
01:14:26,758 --> 01:14:30,720
Everything changed.
Word spread like you wouldn't believe.

603
01:14:30,887 --> 01:14:33,973
<i>Newspapers, radios.
They all picked up on the story.</i>

604
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,602
<i>Mr Percival was famous.</i>

605
01:14:38,353 --> 01:14:40,647
<i>- So was I.
</i>-This way, Mr P.

606
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,245
<i>Everyone in town was happy
for Mr Percival and me.</i>

607
01:14:57,622 --> 01:14:58,957
<i>Maybe not everyone.</i>

608
01:15:04,254 --> 01:15:09,384
A collection's been raised
to send your boy to St. Andrew's.

609
01:15:10,510 --> 01:15:12,429
Best boarding school in Australia.

610
01:15:14,305 --> 01:15:17,767
- Michael wouldn't wanna leave.
- It'd be good for him.

611
01:15:18,977 --> 01:15:20,562
A boy like that...

612
01:15:21,730 --> 01:15:23,648
he needs a proper education.

613
01:15:32,615 --> 01:15:34,826
- Malcolm.
- What the hell is going on?

614
01:15:34,993 --> 01:15:36,369
<i>I'm showing Maddie something.</i>

615
01:15:36,536 --> 01:15:39,289
The board are meeting in less
than an hour. I need you here now.

616
01:15:39,456 --> 01:15:41,708
Don't shout at me, Malcolm.
I'm a grown man.

617
01:15:41,875 --> 01:15:43,001
I'll do whatever I want.

618
01:15:43,168 --> 01:15:45,962
I've been on this deal for a year.
I don't need you to screw it up.

619
01:15:46,129 --> 01:15:48,173
Just call me when everyone's ready,

620
01:15:48,340 --> 01:15:50,550
put me on speaker
and I'll vote over the phone.

621
01:15:50,717 --> 01:15:54,554
- What are you up to, Michael?
- I'm trying to save your family.

622
01:16:01,561 --> 01:16:02,729
Grandpa.

623
01:16:03,438 --> 01:16:04,773
Oh, my God.

624
01:16:04,939 --> 01:16:07,400
So are you coming?
Or do you have to go back to school?

625
01:16:08,485 --> 01:16:09,319
Are you kidding?

626
01:16:32,133 --> 01:16:34,969
- I'm not going!
- Think of it as an opportunity.

627
01:16:35,136 --> 01:16:37,347
I don't want an opportunity!
I want to stay here.

628
01:16:37,514 --> 01:16:40,809
I can't keep teaching you,
not the way you should be.

629
01:16:40,975 --> 01:16:44,771
- No, I'm staying here with you.
- It's a big world. There's a lot to do.

630
01:16:44,938 --> 01:16:46,731
I don't care! I'm not going!

631
01:17:39,826 --> 01:17:41,286
Is this...?

632
01:17:43,621 --> 01:17:44,998
This is where we lived.

633
01:17:50,754 --> 01:17:52,005
What about the birds?

634
01:17:52,797 --> 01:17:54,841
The nesting area's way down there.

635
01:18:22,577 --> 01:18:24,037
Is that Mr Percival?

636
01:18:26,164 --> 01:18:27,165
No.

637
01:18:28,667 --> 01:18:30,085
Maybe one of his grandkids.

638
01:18:34,297 --> 01:18:35,715
I didn't understand it then,

639
01:18:35,882 --> 01:18:37,967
but I suppose my father was...

640
01:18:38,968 --> 01:18:41,471
only doing
what he thought was best for me.

641
01:18:45,266 --> 01:18:47,060
He's smart, Mr Percival.

642
01:18:50,313 --> 01:18:52,315
He needs an education.

643
01:18:52,482 --> 01:18:54,984
A life, you know? To...

644
01:18:56,653 --> 01:18:58,363
To show him there's more than this.

645
01:19:02,117 --> 01:19:04,577
Sometimes you gotta do
what you know is right.

646
01:19:06,663 --> 01:19:08,415
Even if they're gonna hate you for it.

647
01:19:29,394 --> 01:19:31,771
- Malcolm.
- I have everyone here.

648
01:19:31,938 --> 01:19:34,941
- Michael, are you ready to vote?
<i>- I am.</i>

649
01:19:35,108 --> 01:19:36,651
<i>Is Cal Evans there?</i>

650
01:19:37,318 --> 01:19:40,822
- Jesus, Michael. Where are you?
<i>- I'm in the past, Cal.</i>

651
01:19:40,989 --> 01:19:42,073
Look at this.

652
01:19:43,491 --> 01:19:45,243
<i>I know I'm old.</i>

653
01:19:45,410 --> 01:19:48,580
<i>My mind's half shut,
but I still got a few teeth in my head.</i>

654
01:19:48,747 --> 01:19:51,291
<i>Did you manage to find
your copy of the original charter?</i>

655
01:19:51,458 --> 01:19:52,959
- I did.
- What's going on?

656
01:19:53,126 --> 01:19:56,087
- Turn to page 27A.
- We're all ready for the vote.

657
01:19:56,254 --> 01:19:57,881
<i>Does it say under revision 18B</i>

658
01:19:58,048 --> 01:20:00,759
<i>that the board has the right
to delay any vote</i>

659
01:20:00,925 --> 01:20:03,261
so that an independent review
could be taken in the case

660
01:20:03,428 --> 01:20:05,305
<i>- of exceptional circumstances?
</i>-What's going on?

661
01:20:05,472 --> 01:20:07,057
Yes. Yes, it does.

662
01:20:07,223 --> 01:20:09,726
If three board members agree.

663
01:20:09,893 --> 01:20:12,062
<i>So do we have three?</i>

664
01:20:22,989 --> 01:20:23,823
We do.

665
01:20:23,990 --> 01:20:26,826
What are you talking about?
There's no reason to delay the vote.

666
01:20:26,993 --> 01:20:28,995
<i>There are
no exceptional circumstances.</i>

667
01:20:29,162 --> 01:20:30,622
My granddaughter, your daughter,

668
01:20:30,789 --> 01:20:34,250
<i>who owns 25 percent
of your company, Malcolm,</i>

669
01:20:34,417 --> 01:20:37,295
<i>I'm afraid she's about
to have a nervous collapse.</i>

670
01:20:37,462 --> 01:20:39,339
What? No, she's not.

671
01:20:39,506 --> 01:20:40,590
<i>Oh, yes, I am.</i>

672
01:20:40,757 --> 01:20:43,009
It's a serious collapse. Very, very bad.

673
01:20:43,176 --> 01:20:46,429
<i>- I'd call that exceptional circumstances.
- So would I.</i>

674
01:20:46,596 --> 01:20:49,265
<i>- We need to postpone the vote.
- Get her off the phone, Michael.</i>

675
01:20:49,432 --> 01:20:52,602
<i>This will make no difference.
I'll still win the vote after the review.</i>

676
01:20:52,769 --> 01:20:54,729
You may. Or you may not.

677
01:20:54,896 --> 01:20:58,233
But if we can delay it a bit longer,
Maddie will be 18 by then

678
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,861
<i>and sitting on the board,
and she can argue against you.</i>

679
01:21:02,028 --> 01:21:05,281
- Give people time to reconsider.
<i>- They don't wanna reconsider.</i>

680
01:21:05,448 --> 01:21:08,410
- No one wants to reconsider.
<i>- We gotta go, Mal.</i>

681
01:21:08,576 --> 01:21:10,912
<i>We'll see you at that dinner
we were planning for Sonia.</i>

682
01:21:11,079 --> 01:21:14,165
No, no, you're breaking up. Ciao!

683
01:21:14,332 --> 01:21:15,291
Michael!

684
01:21:19,045 --> 01:21:20,714
Grandpa, that was amazing.

685
01:21:21,798 --> 01:21:23,383
We've delayed him for a while,

686
01:21:23,550 --> 01:21:26,052
but it's gonna be up to you
to change his mind.

687
01:21:26,219 --> 01:21:28,930
- He'll be lucky if I talk to him for a year.
- No, no.

688
01:21:30,015 --> 01:21:32,434
You have to talk to him.
He's your father.

689
01:21:33,601 --> 01:21:34,644
Don't I know it.

690
01:21:35,770 --> 01:21:40,066
He's not a bad man.
He's just a businessman.

691
01:21:41,693 --> 01:21:43,194
And your mum, she loved him.

692
01:21:51,953 --> 01:21:55,498
I never really made peace
with my father after we fought.

693
01:21:57,834 --> 01:21:59,502
I never came back here.

694
01:22:04,716 --> 01:22:06,843
I made that decision in anger.

695
01:22:09,387 --> 01:22:11,639
It was the biggest mistake of my life.

696
01:22:13,975 --> 01:22:16,227
I don't want you to go down that path.

697
01:22:20,023 --> 01:22:24,110
- Well, I like being angry.
- Mads, there's no future in that.

698
01:22:26,029 --> 01:22:27,530
Think about it, will you?

699
01:22:28,948 --> 01:22:30,825
You have to. It's so important.

700
01:22:34,037 --> 01:22:35,080
All right.

701
01:22:36,164 --> 01:22:37,248
I'll talk to him.

702
01:22:56,893 --> 01:22:59,771
Grandpa? What about Mr Percival?

703
01:23:50,238 --> 01:23:52,323
Don't you wanna say goodbye
to Mr Percival?

704
01:23:57,454 --> 01:23:59,914
Just give it a month, see how you go.

705
01:24:03,251 --> 01:24:04,252
Come on, then.

706
01:24:31,863 --> 01:24:33,365
Mr Percival?

707
01:24:34,741 --> 01:24:36,451
Mr Percival, stop. No!

708
01:24:53,009 --> 01:24:55,512
Mr Percival! Come back!

709
01:25:00,100 --> 01:25:01,101
Michael!

710
01:25:16,741 --> 01:25:17,867
No!

711
01:25:24,457 --> 01:25:26,960
That's Mr Percival!

712
01:25:27,127 --> 01:25:27,961
Stop!

713
01:25:33,299 --> 01:25:35,760
Stop! That's Mr Percival!

714
01:25:39,389 --> 01:25:40,682
Whoa, buddy.

715
01:25:47,981 --> 01:25:50,191
Leave him alone! Leave him alone!

716
01:25:58,074 --> 01:25:59,367
He attacked me.

717
01:26:01,411 --> 01:26:02,620
You saw him.

718
01:26:03,496 --> 01:26:05,290
I had no choice.

719
01:26:05,457 --> 01:26:06,958
I warned you!

720
01:26:18,011 --> 01:26:19,512
They shot him, Dad.

721
01:26:21,556 --> 01:26:23,641
- Give him to me. Let me carry him.
- No!

722
01:26:25,935 --> 01:26:28,104
I wasn't there to protect him.

723
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:31,566
This is your fault!

724
01:27:43,013 --> 01:27:44,806
You're the best friend I ever had.

725
01:27:56,526 --> 01:27:57,861
Please don't die.

726
01:28:09,956 --> 01:28:10,790
Don't...

727
01:28:12,250 --> 01:28:13,126
die.

728
01:28:15,503 --> 01:28:17,130
I know why you did it.

729
01:29:45,802 --> 01:29:47,178
I'm ready to go now.

730
01:30:47,947 --> 01:30:49,282
Is that how it ended?

731
01:30:50,825 --> 01:30:53,244
Mr Percival's life wasn't in vain.

732
01:30:54,287 --> 01:30:58,500
After I'd gone to school, the council
heard what the hunters had done.

733
01:30:59,709 --> 01:31:01,544
They doubled the size of the sanctuary.

734
01:31:03,088 --> 01:31:06,549
Twenty thousand acres,
the largest in the southern hemisphere.

735
01:31:08,009 --> 01:31:10,220
They gave it a lease for 100 years...

736
01:31:11,513 --> 01:31:13,431
with an option to extend.

737
01:31:31,199 --> 01:31:32,867
Is that Mr Percival?

738
01:31:33,952 --> 01:31:34,953
Yes.

739
01:31:39,207 --> 01:31:42,168
A bird like him never dies.

740
01:31:46,464 --> 01:31:47,340
Come on.

741
01:32:41,519 --> 01:32:43,271
I have something for you.

742
01:32:59,788 --> 01:33:00,789
Thank you.

743
01:33:04,417 --> 01:33:06,586
I think I'll just sit here for a bit.

744
01:33:27,607 --> 01:33:29,025
What does that mean?

745
01:33:31,236 --> 01:33:32,862
It means "Storm Boy."
