Watch the Sunset (2017) - full transcript

In a single afternoon a man comes to grips with the power of his past when his estranged family becomes tangled in its web.

It's just when I get
off of it I hate it.

Every day it's about you know,
if I don't get the money,

I'm just gonna be like this.

People, including
the ex-chief commissioner

Christine Nixon, says let's
give us back the heroin days

anytime over the
current problem of ice.

It's almost the reverse
but with the same outcome,

that is they were
in poverty, gangs,

drug cartels, and full prisons.

And the deaths that were
happening from drug overdoses

with heroin, the deaths
that they have from murders



and violence from ice users.

A 13-year-old boy started
on it, and then he

and a group of guys
break into a house

and the women was
there and was pregnant,

and they slashed her up.

He's in and out of jail,
and he's only just 15,

since he was 13, and
he's a lovely kid.

But that substance makes
him into a monster.

Every day,
six, seven times a day,

the paramedics come
straight up Swanson Street,

up under Langley's, and
I've never seen it before.

Probably in the last six or
seven months it's happened.

Before that there
was, you never saw it.

I can see like people



that are 14, 15
that are doing ice.

I can see it in their eyes.

These are the
most out of control,

most violent human beings
I've seen in my life,

and I've been around
for a long time.

In your entire career?

Absolutely.

And I wanna
thank the police officers

who have been giving us a
very comprehensive briefing

on the ice scourge.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Hey.

Hey, I just need to talk to you.

Don't touch me!

Just need to talk to...

Get the fuck away from me!

Sally!

Hey, can you
lay that down come on...

We're in the
middle of a lesson.

Well, I'm sorry.

- Look...
- Sorry.

Do you mind?

Look, it's fine,
I need my daughter.

No that's, no that, you sure?

Yes, I have.

Look, I really don't
think it's in Joey's best...

Don't you fuckin' tell
me what's best for my kid.

Come on, let's go darling.

They got this girl
in from the rippers.

And what?

It happens all
the time, but this time Char

was goin' around and
just, got outta hand.

One after another, you know.

So, then what?

And she was hurtin',
and I couldn't be there.

They passed her around
like a piece of meat

and fed her drugs
so she'd do anything

they'd want her to do, and I,

I couldn't help, I couldn't
help with any of it.

Figured, what if that was you?

So, I fuckin' lost it.

Oh, fuck.

I got the girl out,
got her to a motel

around the corner
and I came to see ya.

Oh Jesus, Danny,
you're a fuckin' idiot.

I couldn't help
but see you, Sal.

So where is she

there, she'll be fine.

- Where do I go?
- You don't know that,

I don't know, I don't
know where to go.

Jesus, Danny!

Direct me, Sal, I need
some fuckin' directions.

I want my baby.

Just stop

As long as I get there.

You don't know if she's
