Transcript
00:16Captain Rogers, sir, how do we know who leaving ship?
00:23You were saying constable, he comes alone?
00:28No, no, he's not alone.
00:42Hello Edward, so pleased you could make it.
00:46Make it? Gentlemen, I think you're mistaken.
00:52See this here is my house, therefore you're my guest.
00:56Well then, I must say, I do love what you've done with the place.
01:01Aye, well it's a real bastard to keep tidy.
01:03I chose the flooring myself, greens all the range apparently.
01:07Yes, well, my name is Captain Rogers, may I?
01:15And I know who you are. Speak your terms, Captain.
01:21My terms are simple. Turn yourself over and that bastard brother of yours and that flea-riddled plague you call
01:30family might stand a chance of living a life free and undisturbed.
01:35Aye, and what of the rest of the town?
01:37What of it?
01:38Well it's not merely my family I fight for.
01:41Fight for? Fight for? Please forgive the interruption, but since when has it ever been that murdering honourable men of
01:50the law-
01:50Forgive my interruption Captain, but since when have any of your men been considered men of the law?
01:58Rape? Murder? Unlawful arrests?
02:02See my crimes Captain, my crimes are yet to be proven. But yours, yours I hear about every day.
02:09Now hear this. For as long as I have breath in my lungs, I am the law of these lands.
02:15So unfortunately for you, that makes this my house.
02:19This land belongs to the people. And if God see faith that my deeds would be considered crimes, then let
02:24him judge it.
02:26Well Edward, it would appear that God is not here to judge.
02:32Did you not consider how this conversation would end?
02:34Oh yes, quite frankly I had, but I had simply presumed you'd turn yourself over.
02:43I've about had enough of your adolescent disposition. I'm going to arrest you now.
02:50Well as much as I would love to come with you Captain, either that's a strange warrant, or you're here
02:56without sufficient paperwork.
02:58You see, I know my rights. Now as do your men at your back. Hence why their weapons aren't raised.
03:05He has a point. So...
03:12See I dare say, the day will come, and we shall see which is right and which is wrong.
03:18No matter how long a man lives, he must come to judgement sometime.
03:25These days though, if I felt by taking the life of a man that other innocent lives would be saved,
03:33I would shoot without hesitation.
03:39No!

04:32For Edward, it's far too formal.
04:37Your name?
04:39What then, sir?
04:43Tell them my name is Ned.
04:46Ned Kelly.
04:48And this is my house.
