00:00But so is every firm in Adelaide, so...
00:02If I worried about what every other firm was doing, I wouldn't have made it this far.
00:05Eyes on the prize, Tammy.
00:19There we go.
00:21Well finished.
00:23Too good, too good.
00:26Alright. Here.
00:28That's yours.
00:29Come on, good girl.
00:31Come on.
00:32What, you know what, Lollipop?
00:34Well, you've got to be brave like your sister.
00:36That's not my sister.
00:37Well, she's your cousin, or what?
00:39Then she's your sister.
00:49Hi, you've called Lauren Ford from Ford Lawyers. Please leave a message.
00:53Wait, what is the point of having a phone if you never use a card?
00:57Judge.
00:58No, don't.
00:59You know, you're busy down south, making big mob money while I'm up here, just saving lives.
01:04You're lucky your parents are here to help me with Bob.
01:06Your niece misses you, you know.
01:08Come back when you can, then, because I've got the longest, dustiest drive ahead of me.
01:13All right.
01:14Love you.
01:15Miss you.
01:16Let it end.
01:17This again.
01:18Why is God on it?
01:19Mm-hm.
01:20Let's open this again.
01:39What's going on, Eddie?
01:40I'm sorry, baby, you okay?
01:51You are a work safety hazard.
01:54Spank me later and we'll be even.
01:57We'll see what happens after half a bottle of Rosie, won't we?
02:10It's Mum, sorry.
02:13That's all right.
02:16Hey, Mum, what's up? Are you okay?
02:22Where, where, where are you going?
02:25No.
02:32Hello, Mary.
02:34Hey, how are you?
02:35What's happened?
02:37Hey, you talked to me.
02:40For now, my sister, she...
02:49Swim out to me, I think everyone feels so close.
02:58I swim out to sea, I feel so lost or can't breathe.
03:05What I want to do, this.
03:28What can I take?
03:30Hm, Hm, Hm.
03:46That, that, that, that, that, that...
03:48Trav, I'm so sorry.
04:00I'll just get the bags, never.
04:03You hop in, Lauren.
04:05You're going to the front with me.
04:07In you go.
04:08There's one.
04:10And there's two.
04:15Trav, where do I sit?
04:16You're on the throne.
04:18Don't forget to buckle up.
04:24Nice to see you, love.
04:25You too.
04:26Don't you've forgotten about us.
04:27It's been a while since you used to be back up here in Darwin.
04:30Okay.
04:45You didn't pay for this, did you?
04:47You did?
04:50How much?
04:51You can't put a price on freedom, love.
04:54She needs a lick of paper for a set sale, but there's plenty of life in the old girl yet.
04:59Retirement.
05:00Oh, here we come.
05:02Slow down.
05:08Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:08Slow down.
05:10Slow down.
05:11Slow down.
05:12I'm bloody crying.
05:13I'm bloody crying.
05:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:18God.
05:18Jesus Christ, Dad.
05:22Is one dead person not enough for you?
05:23All right, Ned.
05:33Now'd you get.
05:34Gladly.
05:37I'll leave the bags, mate.
05:39You're looking after Bob.
05:41Me?
05:41Looking after Bob's dress.
05:42She's probably in her room.
05:44She's been keeping to herself since, well, you know.
05:46Still, my casser, hey, sir, casser.
05:49So, crack yourself a tinny, but...
05:51Don't touch the rose, eh?
05:52That's mine.
05:53Mi casser, if mi casser.
05:55Where are you going?
05:56Sorry business.
05:57We're in our arrangement.
06:00Couldn't we have talked about this on the five-hour flight up here?
06:03We've got things to do.
06:04You've got things to do.
06:05Get used to it.
06:06Yeah, but my thing is babysitting a grieving child who hardly knows me.
06:10We're going to the morgue, Ned, eh?
06:11Do you really want to come?
06:14Come on.
06:16Let's get this over with.
06:17I guess it's my turn to ride the loo.
06:20I think Ned might have shat himself, so don't forget it, Flash.
06:30I think Ned might have shat himself, so don't forget it.
07:00Ooh.
07:04Yeah.
07:06Oi!
07:08Oh, hi.
07:09It's a fridge, not a hat.
07:11I know, yeah.
07:14Then why'd you stick your head in it?
07:15I was just getting a...
07:17Yeah, never mind.
07:19Hey, it's me, your Uncle Ned.
07:22Remember me?
07:23Maybe.
07:24I'm Lauren's husband.
07:26Remember, we went to the zoo?
07:28Wang Wang.
07:29And what are you doing here?
07:30I'm here to...
07:32I don't know, really.
07:34I guess I'm...
07:35I'm your babysitter.
07:37But you're not a baby anymore, are you?
07:41So anyway, what do you want to do?
07:44I couldn't think of anything that would do the vanilla bean more justice, except maybe
07:53a crumb caramel, which is my all-time favourite dessert.
07:56What's your favourite?
07:58Crumb caramel.
07:59Oh, that looks gammon.
08:01How do you know if you've never tried?
08:03It's always annoying when mum says that.
08:05If it looks gammon, it is gammon.
08:07Simple pimple.
08:08Yeah, now she died, eh?
08:15Yeah.
08:23My dad died too.
08:27I was a bit older than you.
08:28I was a teenager, but...
08:30He had an accident as well.
08:34You know what mum used to do every time I felt sad?
08:39Uh, make crumb caramel?
08:41No, that's too yuck.
08:42A makeover!
08:43What colour nail polish do you want?
08:49Hurry up!
08:50I don't have no dad!
08:56Um, you alright?
08:59Oh.
09:00Oh.
09:03Um, Lauren and Ned are pretty chuffed when I picked them up in the old candle van.
09:08Uh, you got a feeling for it?
09:11What?
09:12Well, is there anything you'd like me to add?
09:14A kettle or an ironing board or...
09:16Oh, yeah, old Trevor.
09:18As if we're going anywhere after what just happened.
09:20Oh, I thought it might be nice to get away after these...
09:24Well, you know.
09:26Sleep under the stars?
09:28Just the two of us?
09:29Bob needs us close.
09:31Get your head out of the sand.
09:42Oh.
09:42Oh.
09:43Oh.
09:44Oh.
09:44Oh.
09:45Oh.
09:45Oh.
09:46Oh.
10:17And I literally have a doubt in my head.
10:18Chicken-up curry chicken or something?
10:20Yeah, but being my sister hasn't got to put more room in the car, isn't it?
10:23Lauren, look at this mess.
10:25What's that?
10:26You've got to clean it up, Mum.
10:27Relax.
10:28Jesus.
10:29It's not pasty enough, Nettles.
10:31Dana, Dana, how you doing?
10:33That's an improvement.
10:34Good.
10:35Oh, hi.
10:36Cousin Leroy and, um...
10:39Cousin Shani.
10:41Yeah, boys, don't be making a mess now.
10:44You taking care of my cousin, Lauren?
10:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:48Try to.
10:49Just checking.
10:50I'll get my brother to flog you.
10:51Get up, Mum!
10:52No, Kimmon.
10:53I wouldn't do that to you.
10:54Come on, outside.
10:55Hey, enough now.
10:56Come on, outside.
10:57Outside.
10:58Get up, get up.
10:59Come on, Cuba.
11:00Don't worry.
11:01I have salmon.
11:22Ah!
11:23Ah!
11:24Ah!
11:25Ah, my eyes.
11:26Cream got in my eyes.
11:27You're not meant to put it on your eyes.
11:28Ah!
11:29Yeah, I don't.
11:30I don't.
11:31Ah!
11:32Trevor, go and put him under the hose.
11:33Go on, Ada.
11:34Don't put him under the hose.
11:35He's not an animal.
11:36Stop laughing at him, you mum.
11:37He's from down outside.
11:38He's made enough mess as it is.
11:40Who are you going to clean all of this up?
11:41Me.
11:42This little black duck.
11:43Quack.
11:44You were right.
11:45Cooler said in a small voice.
11:46The island is a big and scary place.
11:47I should never have convinced you to come on this trip.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:49I bet you wished you stayed in your borough.
11:50Do you think I'll find Mum again when I die?
11:51I, um...
11:52Aunty Sharny reckons Mum will come back as a bird.
11:53Uh, uh, maybe.
11:54Maybe.
11:55Maybe.
11:56Maybe.
11:57Maybe.
11:58Maybe.
11:59Maybe.
12:00Maybe.
12:01Maybe.
12:02Maybe.
12:03Maybe.
12:04Maybe.
12:05Maybe.
12:06Maybe.
12:07Maybe.
12:08Maybe.
12:09Maybe.
12:10Maybe.
12:11Maybe.
12:12Maybe.
12:13Maybe.
12:14Maybe.
12:15Maybe.
12:16Maybe.
12:17Maybe.
12:18Maybe.
12:19Can Uncle Ned do stories?
12:21I like his funny accents.
12:22I can do accents.
12:23No, can't.
12:24Like this one.
12:25Lame.
12:26Like this one.
12:28Not funny.
12:29Like this one.
12:32Fine.
12:34I'll go get him.
12:38When Mum pass away, there's a certain family obligation.
12:41And since Lauren is Rennell's sister...
12:43Okay, yeah, but weren't Rennell and Lauren cousins?
12:46No, that's Western way, see?
12:48I'm talking about Tiwi way.
12:50Listen, if Rennell was my brother's daughter,
12:53then they'd be cousins, but she's not.
12:56Rennell was my sister's kid, which makes her my daughter.
12:59So them two girls are same for us.
13:01They're same blood.
13:03So Barb should be calling Lauren mum.
13:05So it's like a metaphorical thing, right?
13:06Did I say metaphorical?
13:07Can we not do this tonight?
13:09When are we going to do this?
13:10The kid needs a home, doesn't she?
13:11Oh, right, okay, I think I understand.
13:13But aren't you all her family?
13:15I mean, what about you and Trev?
13:16Been there, done that, pulled the T-shirt.
13:18Plus, it's Lauren's responsibility.
13:21What about Leroy?
13:22Hey, I've got my hands full already.
13:23All right, what about the dad? What's his story?
13:25Yeah, that's a whole thing.
13:27So basically, um, what they're saying is
13:31Barb's our responsibility now.
13:33But only cultural ways.
13:35It's not set in stone.
13:36Well, I've seen 60,000-year-old rock paintings
13:39that beg to differ, but you know better.
13:40Okay, okay, okay.
13:42Uh, just, just, just, you wait a second,
13:44and, and, wait, can we just,
13:46can we find somewhere more private to talk, please?
13:48Sure.
13:49Hmm?
13:50Go on, then.
13:52Think how long it took you to go out on your own.
13:54Do you really want to throw all that away?
13:55No, of course not.
13:56All the money that we put into the cafe
13:58sunk down the drain.
13:59So start another one.
14:00We've got tuck shops up here.
14:01Private conversation.
14:03Hey, nice, I've seen this family.
14:04You don't even want kids.
14:07It's in our prenup.
14:08Private conversation's a little bit different, isn't it?
14:10Is it?
14:10Not really.
14:11She's a kid.
14:12Kids need attention.
14:14And that kid inside of his work.
14:17I spent one afternoon with Bob,
14:18and I'm sorry, but it's a lot.
14:20I understand what you're saying.
14:21See, they're acting like it's no big deal.
14:22Well, I'm sorry, but taking on someone else's kid,
14:24that is a big deal to me.
14:25Aye.
14:25Don't listen to them, Bob.
14:27I'm so sorry.
14:38It has nothing to do with Bob.
14:40It's just your mum was so...
14:41Mum did the same thing for Rennell, you know.
14:44Brought her into our home when her sister couldn't cope.
14:46Raised Rennell like one of her own.
14:48It's what our mum will do.
14:50We share the load.
14:51Why don't we support Bob in different ways?
14:53Financially.
14:53You know, pay her school fees, music lessons.
14:56We can fly her down in the school holidays.
14:59Yeah.
15:02What are you thinking?
15:04I'm thinking I love you.
15:06I love our life in Adelaide,
15:07and I don't want to mess with Dad.
15:08Right, yeah, exactly.
15:09Good.
15:11But...
15:12No boats.
15:12We don't need the boats.
15:16But look at her.
15:20She's coming round again.
15:24Surely creeping in.
15:26The time in its command.
15:29Soon enough it comes and settles in its place.
15:34The shadow in my face.
15:37There's pressure in my day.
15:39This life, well, it's slipping right through my hands.
15:50These days stand out nothing like I had planned.
15:59Control, well, it's slipping right through my hands.
16:05These days turned out nothing like I had planned.
16:13It's only May.
16:14You know how many of our mob I said goodbye to this year?
16:21Seven.
16:24Wow.
16:26That's too many.
16:28Not one of them reached the age of 16.
16:30Daffy, I'm sorry about the other night.
16:37I was out of line.
16:39The day you married my daughter on TV.
16:42It's happiest day of my life.
16:45It was also the day you became a part of this family.
16:46Family are allowed to piss each other off from time to time.
16:52Seems to be the definition of family as far as I can tell.
16:57Lauren loves you.
16:59So does Bub.
17:01It doesn't matter what I think of you.
17:03It's too small.
17:25I thought the same thing.
17:28Will they keep the worms out?
17:33Hey, listen, Bub.
17:35Do you remember when you came down to Adelaide to stay with us?
17:38Wang Wang.
17:39What's that?
17:40Wang Wang.
17:41The panda at the zoo.
17:42Remember?
17:43I, yeah.
17:45Um, so how do you reckon you'd go living down there with us all the time?
17:50Well, what about all my friends?
17:52You'd make new friends, Bub.
17:54We'd take them to see shows.
17:56They've got the biggest festival down in Adelaide.
17:58But what about Manningo Daffy and Amane Trevor and Aunty Shani and Uncle Leroy and the footy team
18:04and the green hair tie I super glued under my bed and the pillow that my cousin got me on my fifth birthday?
18:10Yeah.
18:10Yeah, you're right.
18:12That's a silly idea.
18:13Forget it.
18:13Should we open those doors?
18:19Let them in?
18:23Come.
18:23Let them out go away, go away, go away.
18:41Hey, I hear my name.
18:46It's in there in my head.
18:49Hey, I hear my name.
19:19Hey, I hear my name.
19:50It's just, it's all too hard right now, okay?
19:52I know it's harder now, but we don't have to give up our retirement plans.
19:56Of course we do.
19:57We have a kid to raise.
19:58No, no, Lauren and Ned have a kid to raise.
20:02It's their turn.
20:03You know that's not how it works.
20:04Oh, hi.
20:18Are you hungry?
20:19No, no, I'm good.
20:20What are you, babe?
20:36I haven't packed for you because I wasn't sure if, uh, well, I wasn't sure.
20:41What are you doing?
20:43I booked the return flight for tonight, remember?
20:45So change the flight.
20:46Sure, sure.
20:47Yeah, I could do.
20:47I could do.
20:48But then I'd be leaving my staff in the lurch.
20:51I'd be leaving, you know.
20:52Who cares?
20:52I care.
20:53I care, Lauren.
20:55I run the shop.
20:56Why are you suddenly being an arsehole?
20:58How?
20:58Maybe it's because our entire future is being decided by everyone out there.
21:02Oh, why a suitcase is always small on the way home?
21:05Ned, you're acting like a crazy person.
21:07Oh, yeah.
21:08I'm the crazy one.
21:09Crazy, crazy, crazy for flying home and collecting our brioche buns so that I can save the business
21:15that we spent three years building instead of rotting in a crocodile-infested sauna to
21:19raise a child who isn't even ours.
21:20Yeah, great.
21:21I'm the crazy one.
21:22Have a good flight.
21:23I'm going back to everyone out there.
21:24Yeah, of course you are.
21:25Yeah.
21:25What do you want from me?
21:27I want you to stop messing me around and give it to me straight so that I can make a decision.
21:31So you can make a decision?
21:32So we can make a decision.
21:34There is no decision.
21:35It's obligation.
21:36It's family.
21:38Look, maybe when I finish grieving my sister, I'll start grieving what we had in Adelaide.
21:43But right now, from where I stand, our life, our business, all of it in Adelaide is over.
21:50Ronell is family.
21:52Bub is family.
21:52You are family.
21:54We need to raise Bub here.
21:56We don't have to like him, but this is what our family needs from us.
22:02Hey, Lauren, I don't suppose you could grab another round of teas for the umphers and army.
22:06She's so powerful.
22:08Falling to my eyes.
22:12Falling to my eyes.
22:17Falling to my eyes.
22:21Falling to my eyes.
22:25When you know that you can let go, that you can just breathe and let it down.
22:35When you know that you can just feel it.
22:44When no words can suffice to say what you feel inside.
22:51I'll be here but you'll decide, yeah you'll decide.
22:56When you wanna fall into a mouth.
23:01Fall into a mouth.
23:05Fall into a mouth.
23:09Fall into a mouth.
23:14Fall into a mouth.
23:16Fall into a mouth.
23:18Fall into a mouth.
23:19Fall into a mouth.
23:21That you can just feel it's alone.
23:28When you feel you just wanna leave this world.
23:35When the world can suffice to say what you feel is like
23:44I'll be here, but you decide, yeah, you decide
23:48When you wanna roll it to my arms
23:53Roll it to my arms
23:54I know that you're hurting
23:57Roll it to my arms
23:59I know that if there's something
24:02Roll it to my arms
24:03I'll be here, but you decide
24:05When you wanna roll it to my arms
24:10So you wanna roll it to my arms
24:14Roll it to my arms
24:18Roll it to my arms
24:22Roll it to my arms
24:27Just fall
24:30Just fall
24:32That was a rather presumptuous kiss
24:53Was it?
24:56Had he not forgiven you?
24:58I don't
24:59Just a reminder that everyone can see everything
25:10My kiddies
25:11Welcome home
25:16Come on
25:21Come on
