00:00Charlie, there's a lot I need to say to you, but I'm going to start with the bees.
00:24They get born, then right away they're working, getting the pollen.
00:30Bringing it back to the hive.
00:33That's what they were born to do.
00:37Work for the hive.
00:40Make it strong for the queen.
00:45Because the queen, she's the centre of everything.
00:50Everyone knows a hive is only as strong as their queen.
00:56Sometimes she dies.
01:00Gets sick.
01:04Just gets jack of it all.
01:08When you're going, can't we talk about this?
01:13When she's gone, stuff really starts to fall apart.
01:16Shame was the one who was meant to take over.
01:30I owed his son like Dad did from Grandad.
01:34But now it was just me.
01:35Last man standing, Matty.
01:41And all I had to do was stay.
01:51Thing is, sometimes, all I could think about was leaving.
01:57Again.
01:58To the people who are dead.
02:21Fear was the one who got out.
02:22Of course.
02:23The man woke me up, Mrs.
02:24Yeah.
02:24Ray up the road needs drivers, two or three.
02:48I'm not sure how many are in the dorm there, but some of you boys who work there all know.
02:53Six to a room.
02:54It's better than now.
02:56Parker's over at Mullawar, four drivers.
03:01And six max.
03:03Let's hope for a better outcome next season then, eh?
03:09Oi, Trent.
03:14He's sorry, he's just, he's doing his best.
03:19It's crop failure.
03:20I know it's fucked but...
03:21Yeah, you seen the bees?
03:22What?
03:23The bees.
03:24You seen them in the last two days?
03:26I saw one the other day but...
03:27Go look at the bees, then tell me this was fucking crop failure.
03:33Your dad...
03:34I love the old cunt.
03:35But he's fucked us, Matty.
03:40I love the old cunt.
03:42But he's fucked us, Matty.
03:47So...
03:48He was trained.
03:49He seemed a bit...
03:53How's Trent?
04:16He seemed a bit...
04:17Yeah, he's fine.
04:18He's just a bit...
04:20Hey.
04:21Don't feed him in here.
04:23No.
04:24He spotted a brown snake today, he damn near saved me life.
04:27Didn't you?
04:28Who?
04:29Boy.
04:30Who?
04:31Yeah.
04:32Have you seen the bees this week?
04:35No.
04:36They alright?
04:37They've been better, I reckon.
04:40Mights, maybe.
04:42I'll take a squiz.
04:43No, don't worry, I'll sort it out.
04:46Look at this, pofter.
04:49No fucking clue.
04:56I've just been wondering the pesticides this year.
05:00I saw them in the stock room, there's no new barrels.
05:03Same ones as last year.
05:05What'd Trent say?
05:07Nothing.
05:08Just like, if they're old, shouldn't we have...
05:11I told that fuckwit the same thing I'll tell you.
05:13A year doesn't fucking matter.
05:15Does not fucking matter!
05:17There's no good spending money when you've still got stock, that's good!
05:21Now, the crop fucking failed.
05:23It's shit, but it happens.
05:25And you can bet I'm as happy as fucking Larry that I saved 10k on pesticides this year.
05:30It's running about.
05:32Climbing those gun protect all things.
05:35Turn that shit off!
05:37It's gonna be quiet for-
05:39It's gonna be quiet though, but it'll be quite married with 26.
05:42You can make a fall.
05:44You can make a fall.
05:45Oh, just kill it...
05:46Just kill it after a while.
06:08Fuck.
06:26You have reached the message bank.
06:32You have reached the message.
06:33You have reached the message bank of zero.
06:48Matty, I'm driving. What's going on?
06:50Shane, Dad's fucked something up.
06:52No.
06:53He's really fucked something up.
06:55Oi, language, mate. You're on speakerphone. Augie's here.
06:58Say hi, Uncle Matt.
07:00Hi, Uncle Matt.
07:02Hey, Augie.
07:05What's wrong? What did Dad do?
07:09You reckon you could come home for a bit?
07:12What? Why?
07:15Can we talk off speakerphone?
07:17Yeah, sure, but I'm pulling into school.
07:19I'll give you a call tonight, okay?
07:23Okay.
07:24Sometimes, all of a sudden, it got too much.
07:27Yeah?
07:28This feeling building in my gut.
07:36And I had to get away.
07:37Anywhere I could.
07:39Anywhere we'd do.
07:40But usually it was the one place.
07:53For a while it'd work.
07:55But lately...
07:56It didn't.
07:57It doesn't fucking matter!
07:58It doesn't fucking matter!
07:59It doesn't fucking matter!
08:11It doesn't fucking matter!
08:12No!
08:13It doesn't fucking matter!
08:14It just doesn't matter!
08:23It doesn't matter!
08:24It hasn't yet.
08:26It doesn't matter.
08:27It doesn't matter-
08:29Dad?
08:59Ruby, I'm so sorry, girl.
09:29Hey, are you okay?
09:36Come on.
09:45Here.
09:49Who's Ruby?
09:51Hmm?
09:53Last night you called Jesse Ruby.
09:56Oh, must have been up for sleep.
10:01Ruby was our old farm dog, Kelpie Cross.
10:05Before Tanny and Tiny.
10:07Before you.
10:08Before Shane, before your mum.
10:11Best dog, Ruby.
10:15She got sick.
10:18So your grandad...
10:20Actually...
10:22He got me to put her down.
10:28Myself.
10:30Shooter.
10:32I was...
10:33Nine.
10:34Ten.
10:35Fucking hell.
10:36Did be good though.
10:37Remember, I should have got you to do the same with Tanny and Tiny.
10:38Might have hardened you up a bit.
10:39Hey.
10:40Hey.
10:41Hey.
10:42Hey.
10:43They say that nobody knows the weight of the straw that broke the camel's back.
10:48The weight of responsibility.
10:49To do the right thing.
10:50To do the right thing.
10:51To be the good son.
10:53Even when everything was crumbling down.
10:54That night.
10:55Was probably the closest I'd ever been to leaving.
10:56Hey.
10:57Hey.
10:58Hey.
10:59Hey.
11:00He's gone.
11:01Hello.
11:02I'm here.
11:03I'm here.
11:04Hey.
11:05Hey.
11:06Hey.
11:07Hey.
11:08Hey.
11:09Hey.
11:10Hey.
11:11Hey.
11:12Hey.
11:13Hey.
11:14Hey.
11:15Hey.
11:16Hey.
11:17Hey.
11:18Hey.
11:20Hey.
11:21Hey.
11:22Hey.
11:23Hey.
11:24Hey.
11:25like, for good.
11:33But then I met you.
11:40And there was a reason to stay.
11:47At least for a little bit longer.
11:55Every day was fucked.
11:59Each one worse than the last.
12:08But then I'd see you.
12:11And it would almost be okay.
12:14You had this light.
12:18Even though you tried to hide it.
12:21Or maybe you just didn't know you had it.
12:25But then that feeling would return.
12:36Pressing down on me.
12:37Is this what you just did?
12:50Dad? You here?
13:20Dad? Jessie? Dad? Where are you? Have you got the gun? What's wrong, Dad?
13:40I can't do it. Please don't do anything. You won't run away. Just tell me where you are.
13:46Fuck!
13:50Good night, this is Warren.
13:52Dad!
13:54Dad!
14:00Dad!
14:02Dad!
14:13Dad?
14:16She won't run away.
14:20Dad, how about you give me the gun?
14:22I can't.
14:24Not until I do it.
14:30Jessie!
14:32Don't!
14:34Ruby!
14:36Ruby!
14:38That's not Ruby, Dad.
14:40That's Jessie.
14:48And...
14:50You don't want to hurt him. You love Jessie, remember?
14:54But I've gotta...
14:56Or I can't go back in the house.
15:00And it's dark.
15:06I know it's dark, Dad.
15:08But you can go back in the house.
15:12But you can go back in the house.
15:16I'll take you.
15:18I know I can do it.
15:20I know you can do it.
15:22I can!
15:24No!
15:26No!
15:28Very good, Warwick.
15:30Now, let's go back to the three objects I asked you to remember at the start.
15:36Can you tell me what they were?
15:40Car.
15:42Great.
15:44And the other ones?
15:46And it was fucked.
15:50Because I knew I should have been thinking,
15:54This is how I'll help him.
15:56This is how I'll make him feel okay.
16:04But the thing is...
16:06All I could think was...
16:08I just wanna leave.
16:10But I can't...
16:12I can't go anywhere.
16:14I can't go anywhere.
16:16Not now.
16:18And what cunt thinks that?
16:20What kind of a cunt thinks that about their dad?
16:22When he's sick and old and needs help?
16:44Howdy, old boy!
16:46You know, we're too happy to see me, Dad.
16:48Look at this.
16:50You know, I was thinking that, um...
16:52I could road trip it down to Perth for Dad's MRI.
16:56But if it's what they reckon, um...
16:58Ness and I were thinking of a carer.
17:02I am sorry, Matty.
17:04I know I haven't...
17:06It's okay.
17:08You met Ness and you had to...
17:10And it's who you had to...
17:12And I can't talk anyway.
17:13Oh yeah?
17:14I haven't told Dad, but...
17:16I've been thinking about leaving.
17:18Oh, you met someone, have you?
17:19Maybe.
17:20Yeah.
17:21What's her name?
17:22What's her name?
17:23Charlie.
17:24I don't know.
17:25I'm sorry, Matty.
17:26I am sorry, Matty.
17:27I know I haven't...
17:28It's okay.
17:29You met Ness and you had to...
17:31And it's who you had to...
17:32And I can't talk anyway.
17:34Oh yeah?
17:35I haven't told Dad, but...
17:38I've been thinking about leaving.
17:41Oh, you met someone, have you?
17:43Maybe.
17:44Yeah.
17:46What's her name?
17:50Charlie.
17:52And what's Charlie like?
17:56I don't know.
17:59Smart.
18:00He's smarter than me.
18:02No, it couldn't be odd.
18:05Fuck off!
18:09Charlie doesn't give a shit what people think.
18:12Doesn't get scared, just says it, does it, you know?
18:17The way they see the world...
18:19It's just...
18:21It's just...
18:25It's just...
18:27I think that's fucking brilliant, Matty.
18:30Ness and I, we...
18:32We worry about you.
18:33Stuck out here.
18:34Yeah, I like it.
18:35Out here.
18:36I know you do.
18:37But...
18:38Doesn't change the fact.
18:39The best dog of us to leave him out here on his own.
18:42Some nurse or carer, he'd fucking hate that.
18:44Well, he's not gonna be on his own.
18:46But he would be.
18:47Not necessarily.
18:49Me?
18:50Ness?
18:51Augie?
18:52What?
18:53Visit once every three years?
18:54Augie's starting high school soon.
18:58And that's fucking weird in Sydney.
18:59You've got drugs and creepy kids with a name like Gyoza.
19:04I don't know, I want him to have a normal childhood like we had.
19:08Kick the footy out in the fields.
19:09Run away from pedo priests.
19:11But so you've moved back?
19:24Not forever.
19:25But for a stretch?
19:27Hm.
19:28Maybe.
19:34You're not a shit person, Matty.
19:37But you can't keep living for someone else.
19:41And all of a sudden, there was this lightness.
19:48Because he was right.
19:51It was time to leave.
20:00I couldn't lock you up here.
20:04Because even though it felt so warm,
20:07standing in your light,
20:08it was your light.
20:10It was your light.
20:11Not mine.
20:13And I didn't want to take that from you.
20:17Because when you met me,
20:19I was already gone.
20:24But that's how it could go.
20:26Everything good.
20:28Everything right.
20:30And then out of nowhere.
20:31No!
20:38And it was weird.
20:40That morning,
20:41at that time,
20:43I knew it was the end.
20:44What do you cook?
20:45You think I don't have the taste as well?
20:52But I'm still sorry.
20:54I'm so, so sorry for what I had to do.
20:57Because everything you said,
21:09I wanted it just as bad as you.
21:12Maybe more.
21:14Maybe more.
21:32Dad!
21:34What happened?
21:37Dad!
21:39You're supposed to be...
21:41I know, I tried, Matty.
21:43Dad, don't you fucking touch me!
21:45Either of you fucking snakes!
21:47What's going on?
21:49You're fucking off then, are you?
21:51What?
21:53Shane's gonna stay.
21:55He's selling it!
21:58What?
21:59You're gonna fucking sell it!
22:01Fracking, fucking, fracking!
22:02I already told you.
22:04There's been some interest.
22:05It's a lot of money.
22:06That's all I've said.
22:07You're whipping the place up!
22:08And gutting it!
22:09Everything dead!
22:15Oh, come on, Matty.
22:17Someone's gonna fix this!
22:19Someone's gonna fix the mess that you both made!
22:29You hungry?
22:30No.
22:31I can make you something, Charles.
22:33No.
22:34How did the MRI go?
22:36We didn't make it that far.
22:38Angela's giving me a lift tomorrow morning.
22:41I can take you.
22:42No.
22:45How did the MRI go?
22:48We didn't make it that far.
22:51Angela's giving me a lift tomorrow morning.
22:57I can take you.
23:00No.
23:05Hey, Dad, I just...
23:07I'm sorry.
23:10I'm sorry.
23:14I'm really sorry.
23:18And I need you to...
23:27I really need you to forgive me.
23:37Can you please forgive me?
23:40Please.
23:46Please.
23:51And I need...
23:54One day.
23:59It needs to be today, Dad.
24:02It needs to be now.
24:03It needs to be now.
24:10Please, Dad.
24:14Please.
24:24Okay?
24:26Okay.
24:36Okay.
24:37Okay.
