- 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
- No mining in the Pilbara!
- Keep the Pilbara safe!
- 19
- 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,849
- What's all this?
- 20
- 00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:05,727
- No mining in the Pilbara!
- 21
- 00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:09,689
- Keep the Pilbara safe!
- Hands off the Pilbara!
- 22
- 00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:14,152
- No mining in the Pilbara!
- Hands off the Pilbara!
- 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
- - Dear, no. What do you mean?
- -My father.
- 40
- 00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:30,395
- But are you okay?
- 41
- 00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,564
- - I tried to call you.
- - Know what he's doing?
- 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'll send you a link.
- 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 gotta go.
- - Thank you.
- 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
- My home was a little shack,
- 139
- 00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:08,241
- perched on a long stretch
- of sand hills and scrub.
- 140
- 00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,037
- Just down south in the Coorong.
- 141
- 00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,334
- Shallow water on one side
- and a massive ocean on the other.
- 142
- 00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:20,628
- We left the city.
- 143
- 00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:24,716
- My dad wanted to be as far away
- from anyone as possible.
- 144
- 00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:29,804
- We'd go for days and weeks
- without seeing another person.
- 145
- 00:15:31,389 --> 00:15:33,516
- I spent my days on the sea.
- 146
- 00:15:37,187 --> 00:15:39,272
- And my nights doing home school.
- 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
- And in the mornings,
- I watched the birds.
- 154
- 00:16:14,182 --> 00:16:16,935
- The world might have seemed harsh
- to my dad and me...
- 155
- 00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:19,646
- but not to them.
- 156
- 00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:22,190
- They were home.
- 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, Mantawu Mgauriri.
- 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
- There were no vets
- on Ninety Mile Beach.
- 223
- 00:24:33,723 --> 00:24:35,975
- Or libraries to look stuff up.
- 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, Mantawu Mgauriri.
- 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 Mantawu Mgauriri's thought.
- - Sorry?
- 276
- 00:29:05,745 --> 00:29:07,997
- Mantawu Mgauriri, 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 Ngatji.
- 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 Nori, or pelican, is killed.
- 418
- 00:45:43,702 --> 00:45:46,329
- See, Nangai, my father, told me,
- 419
- 00:45:46,496 --> 00:45:49,666
- if you look after Ngatji,
- 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.
- - Are you on your way
- 464
- 00:53:34,839 --> 00:53:36,966
- - to the board meeting?
- - Shortly.
- 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.
- - Michael.
- 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
- It's important.
- 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 felt real loneliness
- 484
- 00:54:33,356 --> 00:54:34,816
- for the first time.
- 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 Nangai.
- 505
- 00:56:51,911 --> 00:56:53,371
- He was a tribal elder.
- 506
- 00:57:00,128 --> 00:57:02,380
- He taught me everything
- about the land.
- 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
- Jenny and Belle, my little girl.
- 513
- 00:58:06,444 --> 00:58:09,823
- They... They went to get ice cream.
- 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
- From that day on, Mr Percival refused
- to ever leave my side.
- 526
- 01:00:03,144 --> 01:00:04,854
- Not for an hour.
- 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
- He's in there.
- 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
- This is Mum.
- 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
- Newspapers, radios.
- They all picked up on the story.
- 604
- 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,602
- Mr Percival was famous.
- 605
- 01:14:38,353 --> 01:14:40,647
- - So was I.
- -This way, Mr P.
- 606
- 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,245
- Everyone in town was happy
- for Mr Percival and me.
- 607
- 01:14:57,622 --> 01:14:58,957
- Maybe not everyone.
- 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'm showing Maddie something.
- 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 am.
- 649
- 01:19:35,108 --> 01:19:36,651
- Is Cal Evans there?
- 650
- 01:19:37,318 --> 01:19:40,822
- - Jesus, Michael. Where are you?
- - I'm in the past, Cal.
- 651
- 01:19:40,989 --> 01:19:42,073
- Look at this.
- 652
- 01:19:43,491 --> 01:19:45,243
- I know I'm old.
- 653
- 01:19:45,410 --> 01:19:48,580
- My mind's half shut,
- but I still got a few teeth in my head.
- 654
- 01:19:48,747 --> 01:19:51,291
- Did you manage to find
- your copy of the original charter?
- 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
- Does it say under revision 18B
- 658
- 01:19:58,048 --> 01:20:00,759
- that the board has the right
- to delay any vote
- 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
- - of exceptional circumstances?
- -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
- So do we have three?
- 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
- There are
- no exceptional circumstances.
- 667
- 01:20:29,162 --> 01:20:30,622
- My granddaughter, your daughter,
- 668
- 01:20:30,789 --> 01:20:34,250
- who owns 25 percent
- of your company, Malcolm,
- 669
- 01:20:34,417 --> 01:20:37,295
- I'm afraid she's about
- to have a nervous collapse.
- 670
- 01:20:37,462 --> 01:20:39,339
- What? No, she's not.
- 671
- 01:20:39,506 --> 01:20:40,590
- Oh, yes, I am.
- 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'd call that exceptional circumstances.
- - So would I.
- 674
- 01:20:46,596 --> 01:20:49,265
- - We need to postpone the vote.
- - Get her off the phone, Michael.
- 675
- 01:20:49,432 --> 01:20:52,602
- This will make no difference.
- I'll still win the vote after the review.
- 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
- and sitting on the board,
- and she can argue against you.
- 679
- 01:21:02,028 --> 01:21:05,281
- - Give people time to reconsider.
- - They don't wanna reconsider.
- 680
- 01:21:05,448 --> 01:21:08,410
- - No one wants to reconsider.
- - We gotta go, Mal.
- 681
- 01:21:08,576 --> 01:21:10,912
- We'll see you at that dinner
- we were planning for Sonia.
- 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."
