Directed by Geoff Murphy, the film follows scientist Zac Hobson (Bruno Lawrence), who wakes up one morning to find Earth entirely devoid of human life. As he explores deserted cities and decaying infrastructure, Zac confronts profound loneliness and gradually descends into psychological breakdown. Eventually, he meets two other survivors—Joanne (Alison Routledge) and Api (Pete Smith)—each with their own backstory tied to the mysterious “Effect.” Together, they attempt to stop an active energy grid experiment believed to have caused the apocalypse. However, their plans—and relationships—spiral into sacrifice, moral ambiguity, and metaphysical uncertainty. The film ends with Zac awakening on a strange beach under a ringed planet, suggesting another world, dimension, or purgatorial afterlife

00:10:50Hello?
00:15:20There's nobody in administration.
00:15:26You did it this time, Perrin.
00:15:33International corporation, eh?
00:15:40Well, you got everybody, including yourself.
00:15:49Ultra glass level, now extended.
00:16:19I'm Delenco, Texas.
00:16:33Analysis of these programs by our own computer indicates that the programs being supplied are incomplete.
00:16:39It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Delenco HQ are deliberately withholding information.
00:16:44I am unable to continue blindly working on a project of such phenomenal destructive potential.
00:16:51Accordingly, there is only one course of action open to me.
00:16:58Zack Hobson, July 5th.
00:17:01One, there has been a malfunction in Project Flashlight with devastating results.
00:17:07Two, it seems I am the only person left on it.
00:17:14Three, Perrin has been incinerated at the grid control.
00:17:18Four.
00:17:20I've been sealed into the lab, so I have set up a gas device in the washroom hoping to...

00:24:12Ha.
00:24:14Ah.
00:24:17Ah.
00:24:44Ah.
00:24:47Ah.
00:24:52Ah.
00:24:55Ah.
00:25:00Ah.
00:25:05Ah.
00:25:08Ah.
00:25:10Ah.
00:25:14Ah.
00:25:18Ah.
00:25:23Ah.
00:25:26Ah.
00:25:29Ah.
00:25:35Ah.
00:25:39Ah.
00:25:41Well, I don't think that's the right thing to do.
00:25:59I honestly and sincerely believe that.
00:26:01It is your country's duty as part of the free world to pursue all avenues of technological
00:26:06research that contribute to our position, thus maintaining the balance of power that
00:26:11exists in the world today.
00:26:12Now, I cannot overemphasize this point because you can rest assured that even as I speak,
00:26:17this is what the other side is doing.
00:26:22What are you trying to do to destroy the...
00:26:24I'm taking over.
00:26:28Look, I haven't got time to talk to you.
00:26:42I'm a very busy man.
00:26:43Besides, you've had your turn.
00:26:44I have dedicated all my scientific knowledge and skill to projects which I knew could be
00:27:14put to evil purposes.
00:27:19For the common good, they said.
00:27:23How easy to believe in the common good when that belief is rewarded with status, wealth
00:27:42and power!
00:27:53How hard to believe in the common good when every fiber of my being tells me that the awesome
00:28:05forces I have helped to create have been put into the hands of the hands of mad men!
00:28:13I've been killed by the vomit of my own corruption!
00:28:19Is it not fitting then that I be president?
00:28:21Of this quiet earth?
00:28:34I've been condemned to live.
00:28:36hasn't it all.
00:28:39I've been condemned to live.
00:28:42Sleep hard are now.
00:28:51Sleep hard!
00:28:53Sleep hard!
00:28:55Sleep hard!
00:28:56Sleep hard!
00:28:56Sleep 之 曖!
00:28:57Sleep hard!
00:28:57Sleep 。
00:28:58Sleep hard!
00:29:00rise!
00:29:03c 白!
00:29:34Ah. Ah. Ah!
00:29:46Where is he?
00:30:04All right.
00:30:23Where are you?
00:30:27Where are you?
00:30:32Where are you?
00:30:39Where is he?
00:30:40If you don't come out, I'll shoot the kid.
00:30:46Where are you?
00:31:16And now I am God.
00:31:21Where are you?
00:31:24Where are you?
00:31:26I don't know.
00:31:56I don't know.
00:32:26I don't know.
00:32:56I don't know.
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:56I don't know.
00:34:26I don't know.
00:34:56I don't know.
00:35:26It's not real.
00:35:35Oh, it's good to see someone.
00:35:47So I went into my sister's room.
00:35:56And she was gone.
00:35:58And she was gone.
00:36:03I mean, gone.
00:36:04I just disappeared.
00:36:11I hung around for about two weeks after that.
00:36:18I don't remember much.
00:36:19I don't remember much.
00:36:20I don't remember much.
00:36:21I don't remember much.
00:36:23I don't remember much.
00:36:25It was pretty bad.
00:36:26Guess you went a little crazy.
00:36:27I didn't decide I was president of the world.
00:36:30I don't know.
00:36:31I don't know.
00:36:32I don't know.
00:36:37I was quite shocked when I saw the baby.
00:36:40baby.
00:36:41Yeah, not just that it was a baby.
00:36:47I didn't look too closely.
00:36:48There were maggots.
00:36:49That means there must be flies.
00:36:50No.
00:36:51The effect happened three weeks ago.
00:36:55The baby hadn't been dead that long.
00:36:59Something's changed.
00:37:01I can't quite measure it.
00:37:04But I can feel it.
00:37:08It's as though we've been shifted sideways.
00:37:12Yeah.
00:37:13North Pole's still up north.
00:37:15But the water keeps going down the plug hole the wrong way.
00:37:20I get the feeling we're either dead or in a different universe.
00:37:31Are you in a different universe?
00:37:51Are you a woman?
00:37:54Or a child?
00:37:59I've got this theory.
00:38:17I believe people's faces are soft like plasticine.
00:38:20And not rigid like bone, as doctors would have us believe.
00:38:24And the shape of the face is determined consciously by the brain.
00:38:28So, if your brain's got a low capacity, you would be both ugly and stupid.
00:38:33But if you've got a reasonably good brain, then it's up to you to decide how you use its energy.
00:38:37You could be reasonably attractive and reasonably intelligent.
00:38:40Or you could be smart, but ugly.
00:38:44But ugly.
00:38:45Or beautiful, but stupid.
00:38:53I thought one didn't get a hangover with champagne.
00:38:55Oh, so did I.
00:38:56Now, if you got really lucky, you could have an exceptional brain.
00:39:04And you could be both extremely beautiful and highly intelligent.
00:39:08Like me.
00:39:10Do you make all that up yourself?
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:12Gee, you're beautiful.
00:39:13Hey.
00:39:14Are you calling me stupid?
00:39:15No, no.
00:39:16Wouldn't do that.
00:39:28I don't know.
00:39:58No maggots.
00:40:06She was calling for help.
00:40:10She was definitely alive after the effect.
00:40:28Pull over.
00:40:37Pull over.
00:40:46What's wrong?
00:40:46Does it look to you like the sun's pulsating?
00:40:55No.
00:40:58Nah, it doesn't to me either.
00:40:59Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
00:41:19This one's yours.
00:41:37Thanks very much.
00:41:38If we find anyone alive, what do you think we'll be like?
00:41:44We might find all manner of horrors.
00:41:49Politicians.
00:41:53Transvestites.
00:41:54I think we should look in places where people are either trapped or too afraid to leave.
00:42:03Mental hospitals, prisons, that sort of thing.
00:42:07Then let's hope we don't find anyone.
00:42:09We have to look.
00:42:10There you are.
00:42:36Run any other ways?
00:42:37Where are we sleeping?
00:42:44I'm sleeping over there.
00:42:47Thought you might say that.
00:42:48This one will do.
00:43:03The keys are in it.
00:43:07I still don't like it.
00:43:10Don't be beautiful.
00:43:10It's simple.
00:43:14I'll cover that side of the river.
00:43:15You cover this.
00:43:19Call me every half hour?
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:21The keys are in it.
00:43:40Jack, can you hear me?
00:43:47Joanne, come in, please.
00:43:48Jack, I'm at the hospital.
00:43:51Where are you?
00:43:52I'm driving past the university.
00:43:54Everything OK?
00:43:55Yeah, I'm just going in.
00:43:57OK, call you in half an hour.
00:44:10OK, call you in half an hour.
00:44:40OK, call you in half.
00:45:10You there, Zach?
00:45:17Hello? You OK?
00:45:21I felt really strange a few seconds ago.
00:45:23Where are you?
00:45:26I'm at Mantle Street and Hillcrest.
00:45:29There's nothing here.
00:45:30Was there anything at the university?
00:45:35Not a thing.
00:45:37Call you later, but keep in touch there, eh?
00:45:40OK, over and out.
00:45:41Are you trying to tell me that you and your white-coated cronies up the road there really had something to do with this?
00:46:05Don't know.
00:46:06Don't know.
00:46:08It was an American idea.
00:46:09They were experimenting with energy transmissions through a grid surrounding the Earth.
00:46:14Aircraft drawing directly from that grid so they wouldn't have to refuel.
00:46:20That sort of thing.
00:46:21Of course.
00:46:22An exclusive all-male club playing God with the universe.
00:46:27We were just one small unit in a whole network of stations around the world acting simultaneously.
00:46:37Besides, we might not have been responsible.
00:46:45God may have just blinked.
00:46:47God blinked and the whole world disappeared.
00:46:51A world of noisy, brawling, wonderful human beings.
00:46:57God, I miss them.
00:47:19It's all right.
00:47:27Hello?
00:47:32Dr. Hobson, this is reception.
00:47:34I suppose you realise you must vacate your room by ten o'clock?
00:47:37And are you aware there is an extra charge for your guest last night?
00:47:40Didn't realise I had to pay for it.
00:47:44You don't get anything for nothing, you know.
00:47:47Come back to bed.
00:47:54Anything else, sir?
00:47:56More grumpet.
00:47:57Sorry, love.
00:47:58Crumpet's off.
00:48:03Oh!
00:48:18See you one o'clock in the plaza.
00:48:19Okay, then we head south.
00:48:22We'll go back.
00:48:23We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:24We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:25We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:26We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:27We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:28We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:28We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:29We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:30We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:30We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:31We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:32We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:33We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:34We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:35We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:36We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:37We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:38We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:39We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:40We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:41We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:42We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:43We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:44We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:45We'll discuss that at lunch.
00:48:46There are a number of constants which have never been known to change.
00:49:16In an experiment I have just conducted I have established that this charge has changed and in fact is oscillating between two new values.
00:49:31I cannot measure these values as it seems the amplitude of the oscillation is increasing.
00:49:38I can only conclude that the fabric of the universe has not only altered but is highly unstable.
00:49:50God knows where that leaves us.
00:49:57Hello, my dear.
00:49:59Joanne, is that you?
00:50:02Oh, I mean there is someone else.
00:50:05Hey, you know you are the only girl in the world for me, sweetheart.
00:50:10Okay.
00:50:11Au revoir, chérie.
00:50:14I'm on my way.
00:50:16I'm on my way.
00:50:17I'm on my way.
00:50:23BIRDS CHIRP
00:52:12You alone?
00:52:17You seen anyone else?
00:52:21I'll get the truck.
00:52:22Turn around.
00:52:38I'll get the truck.
00:52:48Zach?
00:52:48Zach?
00:52:48Zach?
00:52:49Zach?
00:52:50What's holding you up?
00:53:04You tell lies.
00:53:21No.
00:53:22Well, what would you have done?
00:53:24How many of you?
00:53:25Just her and me.
00:53:27Two of yous?
00:53:29Switch it off and cruise.
00:53:34Switch it off and cruise.
00:53:36Look, come on.
00:53:42Look, come on.
00:54:04She's not there.
00:54:05You'll find her.
00:54:12Come on, come on.
00:54:28Zach, where have you been?
00:54:30Why didn't you answer me?
00:54:32It's bloody radio.
00:54:34I thought I was going to be alone again.
00:54:42Good morning to all, come on.
00:54:46I see you unexpected questions.
00:54:49What's mine?
00:56:20Fish in that stream.
00:56:22Baby ones.
00:56:23Yeah, that makes sense.
00:56:25Fish eggs settle on the riverbed.
00:56:27The male fish swims along dropping sperm on them.
00:56:29So if the sperm was released before the effect and penetrated after,
00:56:33there'd be fish.
00:56:34For all there, I thought I was dead.
00:56:40He thought he was God.
00:56:41Why did you think you were dead?
00:56:49Because I was.
00:56:51I was in the push down south with a mate.
00:56:55Well, sort of...
00:56:56As I began to go unconscious, I could see it all happening.
00:57:14I was watching from higher.
00:57:18I could see him, and I could see myself.
00:57:22It was really peaceful.
00:57:24Like a white beam.
00:57:25There was another thing.
00:57:35Like a light.
00:57:36A long way off.
00:57:38I was traveling towards it.
00:57:40Yearning to reach it.
00:57:42Suddenly, I felt the whole weight of life flash back on me.
00:57:45I was so disappointed.
00:57:49You felt that if you could reach that light,
00:57:51you'd never want to come back again.
00:58:05Happened to me.
00:58:08The same?
00:58:09The moment of death.
00:58:11The effect happened at the exact moment of death,
00:58:14and that's why we survived.
00:58:15Is that what you think?
00:58:18I reckon.
00:58:19For a while there, I didn't know what I was.
00:58:22And when I found I was alone in this world,
00:58:24I thought I was a ghost.
00:58:29It was really sad.
00:58:32I reckon if I was here and alive,
00:58:35I'd better head north and look for survivors.
00:58:38And if I was a spirit,
00:58:39I thought I'd better head for Cape Ranger.
00:58:43Either way, I was heading in the right direction.
00:58:45So there's just the three of us.
00:58:50Well,
00:58:51you're alive, and so am I.
00:58:55How about you?
00:58:56How about you?
00:58:56I suppose so.
00:59:07I suppose so.
00:59:08What do you think of him?
00:59:24Oh, he plays the old bum nut.
00:59:26Oh, come on.
00:59:28Nah, I think he's great.
00:59:31So you made the bits?
00:59:33Mm-hmm.
00:59:34One, two.
00:59:38It's ironic.
00:59:40Of all of us, I thought I'd be the one most equipped to handle.
00:59:46Whatever it is that's happened.
00:59:48I used to enjoy being a loner.
00:59:53And then you came along.
01:00:00I'm thinking about the three of us now.
01:00:03Not just you and not just me.
01:00:08Hey, R.P., play us another song, which we can sing.
01:00:16Okay.
01:00:17Let old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind.
01:00:27Let old acquaintance be forgot for the sake of old man's time.
01:00:37We'll take a cup of kindness, yeah, for the sake of old man's time.
01:00:58Kyle
01:01:01Oh, we're always good.
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:03Hey.
01:01:04Hey.
01:01:09Hey.
01:01:10Hey.
01:01:11Oh, we'reaking rocks.
01:01:14Hey.
01:01:15Hey.
01:01:16Hey.
01:01:16Hey.
01:01:17Hey.
01:01:18Hey.
01:01:19Hey.
01:01:19Hey.
01:01:20Hey.
01:01:22Hey.
01:01:24Hey.
01:01:26Why I am

01:02:44If the oscillations in the sun continue to increase at the present rate,
01:02:57the sun must collapse in a few days, taking everything with it.
01:03:01Computer analysis is needed immediately for a more accurate prediction.
01:03:09You know, the interesting thing about friendships is that they're not logical.
01:03:13You know how somebody will come up to you and they'll ask you why do you like so-and-so?
01:03:16And you'll give them all these interesting reasons why you do,
01:03:18but you've actually made them up after you've decided you like them.
01:03:21I reckon you decide that you like somebody,
01:03:23in the two seconds that you meet them, you stick to it regardless.
01:03:26So, if you like them, you're gonna find good things in all the bad things they do,
01:03:30and if you don't, you're gonna find bad things in all the good things they do, eh?
01:03:34The other thing is, you tend to like people who like you.
01:03:38And what did you decide about me?
01:03:41Guess you like me.
01:03:43Why was your mate trying to kill you?
01:03:49Because I killed his wife.
01:03:52Killed his wife?
01:03:53Why?
01:03:54It was necessary.
01:03:59Necessary?
01:04:00And who decides when it will be necessary?
01:04:04And when will be the next time that you decide that it's necessary?
01:04:06And who the hell do you think you are?
01:04:12God!
01:04:20You're not God.
01:04:21Joanne, look, something really strange is happening.
01:04:46I don't quite understand it, but we're gonna...
01:04:48What's the matter?
01:04:51Leave me alone, please.
01:04:57What's happened?
01:04:57Look, I got something really important to tell you.
01:05:03We went through all that shit last night.
01:05:05I'm not talking about last night.
01:05:07I'm talking about the sun!
01:05:09You want to talk about the sun?
01:05:11Go and talk to that God out there.
01:05:15Listen to me!
01:05:16Take your hands off me.
01:05:20What are you doing?
01:05:28Arpy.
01:05:28How soon can you get your gear together?
01:05:33We've got to head up north.
01:05:34But you just got it.
01:05:35Yeah, I know.
01:05:36But please, mate, how quickly?
01:05:38My place not good enough for you.
01:05:40No, no, it's not that.
01:05:41Look, I'll explain it along the way, okay?
01:05:44Are you in charge here?
01:05:47Okay.
01:05:49Yeah, if that's the way you want it.
01:05:50Yes, I am, yes.
01:05:51She came back crying.
01:05:52What did you do to her?
01:05:53What were you doing?
01:05:54I'm in charge, remember?
01:05:56Joanne, get your arse into gear.
01:05:57We're leaving straight away!
01:06:00Listen, honky.
01:06:01Haven't you noticed?
01:06:03Things have changed around here.
01:06:04The white boss went with the rest of them.
01:06:06There's just you and me now.
01:06:08Look, it's complicated enough for people like me
01:06:10without trying to explain to people like you.
01:06:12People like what?
01:06:14Will you listen to that?
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:22If that's the way you want it.
01:06:27You coming?
01:06:37I wouldn't write with you
01:06:38if you're the last man on Earth.
01:06:41I'm working on it.
01:06:42It would seem that Delinco's Operation Flashlight
01:07:11is still intact
01:07:12self-energizing from the entire balanced grid
01:07:15and that this is somehow affecting the sun.
01:07:18You coming fromwear?
01:07:31You coming from now.
01:07:31You coming from now,
01:07:32the hospital?
01:07:32You coming from now.
01:07:33You coming from now?
01:07:35No?
01:07:37No!
01:07:37I'm not going to live with two of you at each other's throats trying to prove which one is God.
01:08:05If you don't believe me, try it.
01:08:09You don't trust me!
01:08:11For Christ's sake!
01:08:13Look, that bloody thing's been worrying me for over a year now.
01:08:17I knew there was something wrong with that project, and I said nothing.
01:08:21Can you be more guilty than that?
01:08:24You condemned yourself to death.
01:08:26On the morning of the effect, you were trying to kill yourself.
01:08:35What are you going to do about it?
01:08:37Don't know.
01:08:39You trying to tell me you jokers caused all this and you can't even fix it?
01:08:43Well, we never did know the full story.
01:08:45The Americans withheld information.
01:08:48You monkey with the universe without even knowing what you're doing?
01:08:54Nobody realized what was happening.
01:08:57We trusted them. They were on our side.
01:09:00Ha! You can't be that dumb.
01:09:02They might as well tell the Russians and tell you, jokers.
01:09:05Besides, they don't tell you, you don't tell us.
01:09:08You're all the same to me.
01:09:10Well, I've told you now.
01:09:14You tell us.
01:09:15You tell us.
01:09:21Try it again.
01:09:30Same result.
01:09:31Those two lines that meet, what do they mean?
01:09:34It's a time scale.
01:09:35That's the point of maximum instability.
01:09:38About six o'clock tomorrow morning.
01:09:40What happens then?
01:09:41Well, I think it's the effect.
01:09:45It's gonna happen again.
01:09:51Zack.
01:09:56Help me!
01:09:58Hey!
01:10:04Zack!
01:10:06Up here!
01:10:08Where are you?
01:10:09Where are you?
01:10:10Where are you?
01:10:11How are you?
01:10:14How are you?
01:10:16How are you?
01:10:18Zack?
01:10:22Hey!
01:10:24Where are you?
01:10:26Where are you?
01:10:30Joanne!
01:10:31I'm in here!
01:10:34Joanne!
01:10:39I'm in here!
01:10:40I'm in here!
01:10:41I'm in here!
01:10:42I'm in here!
01:10:43I'm in here!
01:10:45I'm in here!
01:10:47You okay?
01:10:49You okay?
01:10:51You're calculations are wrong.
01:10:53It's too soon.
01:10:54No.
01:10:56That was just a tremor.
01:10:57Next time that happens, it'll be the real thing.
01:10:58Your calculations are a waste of time.
01:10:59You reckon the grid is balanced?
01:11:00Okay.
01:11:01We take this end out, the grid collapses.
01:11:02Didn't work.
01:11:03What?
01:11:06Didn't work.
01:11:08I don't know!
01:11:10Yeah!
01:11:11I don't know!
01:11:12I don't know!
01:11:13I'm in here!
01:11:15No.
01:11:16That's fine!
01:11:18I can do that!
01:11:20So, you sort of go out of here.
01:11:21And I'm in here.
01:11:22What?
01:11:23I'm doing a bunch ofholders.
01:11:24Need it?
01:11:34He's an artist.
01:11:40Are you sure there's enough?
01:11:45How much you reckon we need?
01:11:47A ton.
01:11:50We take a truckload.
01:11:52So, Perrin throws the switch, the effect happens and everyone disappears.
01:11:58But, our little effect is happening again tomorrow morning.
01:12:03Now, there's no Perrin, no switch.
01:12:07So maybe the effect and the grid are totally unrelated.
01:12:11You mean like that boy with a stick?
01:12:13Eh?
01:12:13The boy with a stick.
01:12:15Remember that massive power blackout in the States?
01:12:18The Holy's Coast was out for about six hours.
01:12:20They reckon this boy was on his way home.
01:12:23He was pissed off about something.
01:12:25And he whacked this power pole with all his might.
01:12:28And at that instant, his whole world went black.
01:12:31And he thought he had done it.
01:12:33What do you reckon?
01:12:34Well, I reckon the effect was a cosmic event, like the creation.
01:12:39And nobody's ever explained that properly.
01:12:42On the other hand, perhaps nobody disappeared.
01:12:45Only me.
01:12:45I am the effect.
01:12:48And us?
01:12:49You're not real.
01:12:50You're in my mind.
01:12:52You're God.
01:12:54I actually do think it's the grid.
01:12:56Besides, it's our best bed.
01:12:58So I'll get in the other track.
01:13:00We are not real.
01:13:01You were born under the shadow of Pirunia.
01:13:06Down that way?
01:13:08Patubaiari.
01:13:09The redhead people of the night.
01:13:14Maybe you're not real.
01:13:18Real enough.
01:13:19The redhead people of the night.
01:13:49Oh, well.
01:13:50I suppose if this works, we all live happily ever after.
01:13:54Don't we?
01:13:55Hopefully.
01:13:57All three of us?
01:13:58We have two.
01:14:00It's easier for me because I like both of you.
01:14:04But did you prefer him?
01:14:06I get a really strange notion sometimes.
01:14:16Sometimes I feel as if you and Arpy have known each other a long, long time.
01:14:23As though I am the victim of some huge conspiracy.
01:14:26And you and Arpy have been sent to be my guardians.
01:14:28I feel almost as though you pass secret messages when I'm not looking.
01:14:36Perhaps we do.
01:14:38There's some pretty odd things about Arpy.
01:14:39Are you worried about why his mate was trying to kill him?
01:14:45Yeah.
01:14:46He killed his mate's wife.
01:14:50She was in love with him and he rejected her.
01:14:52So she committed suicide.
01:14:55And he felt he was responsible.
01:14:59So did his mate.
01:15:03That's really sad.
01:15:05The things I've learned about people.
01:15:11In the last few weeks.
01:15:15You needn't worry about me, eh?
01:15:18Whatever happens, I can handle it.
01:15:25Look out!
01:15:31Arpy!
01:15:31I knew there was something I forgot to tell him!
01:15:35What do you reckon?
01:15:48Blow it up!
01:15:50Oh, push it out of the way!
01:15:54Hey, Arpy!
01:15:57Be careful.
01:15:58No, sweet!
01:16:05Yeah, that's true!
01:16:27Okay, yeah.
01:16:28Okay, yeah.
01:16:28Okay, yeah.
01:16:29Let's go!
