Did this car run into you?
- It was a beer truck.
Bloody gay beer truck hit
me fair in the guts.
- How'd you lose your hat?
- Didn't lose it, it's
right here on my heat.
- There's another cowboy!
I'm sorry, you gonna hold me or what?
- Yeah, well
you're driving me crazy!
- Ooh, you have her, she
was blocking taz's way.
Hey come on bro, come on bro.
- Hi, is Hank there?
No, no, it's just his mom,
just haven't heard from him in awhile.
- At least when he was in
jail we knew where he was.
- I think it's great, and
I'm really proud of you.
- Thank you.
- When's the launch?
- Next Tuesday.
I imagine you can't?

Which witch has the tallest hat?
Which witch has the fattest cat?
Which witch could eat a spider?
Which witch has a frog inside her?
Which witch can cast a spell?
You must beware, 'cause you
can never tell. - Can never tell.
Oh wow!
Thank you, darling.
Can I steal her?
I wanna take her to my
book launch with me.
- Doesn't Perry know his lines?
- Perry can't come.
- I bet you I'll win!
- I went out without my
husband of couple weeks ago,
I had a great time.
- Svettie.
I want you to come with me. - What?
You do? - Yeah,
we'll drive to the city.
- A little bit of shopping.
- Couple of glasses of champagne.
- We have a little fun.
- Hmm.
Backa!
I'm gonna steal your wife.
Just for one night.
She's gonna come to my book launch.
- Why does that make me nervous?
- Because it should.
- That means yes.
- Randy
to the line, golden.
- Just remembered,
used to go to the dogs
with me old man when I was a kid,
'cause I haven't thought of me
old man for about five years.
- Young
bribe doing it easily.
Young bribe by 40.
- See, they're dodgy with
the odds on our race.
- What about your old man,
he's all right, is he?
- Oh yeah, he's cool, he's
done some shit, you know?
- Yeah, well, I don't
want him involved, mate.
- He's not gonna be involved,
just me brother Kieran.
And I'm not telling nothing neither.
- I don't know much about
this family shit, Steve.
- Hmm, you haven't met my family.
Can you just chill, all right?
Better go, here's my man.
- You missed
your session last week,
can you tell me why?
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- It's a condition of your
parole that you attend
these anger management sessions.
I'm gonna have to contact
your parole officer
and let him know you're not
fulfilling your obligations.
- You wouldn't dob on me, would ya?
- Hank, right now you have options.
I don't wanna see those
taken away from you.
And I would like to try
and work with you.
- Oh yeah, we do need to work together.
Have you seen this?
That cowboy that taz thought
she hid in her car,
his name's Tom daugherty.
We should've taken him to
hospital straight away.
He was sitting on those
injuries, then suddenly,
Dead.
What are we gonna do?
- There's no we.
This is a session here.
What you and I have to talk about it
is why you haven't been
turning up. - Yeah, I know, I know!
And we can talk about that Perry,
I guess I'm just really
worried about taz.
- Taz is not an issue for discussion.
- Geez, I wouldn't downplay
me own daughter like that.
- Any connection between my daughter
and this newspaper article has
got nothing to do with you.
- I reckon we should
just keep quiet, yeah?
And let's not go in and
encounter the cops just yet.
In my experience it's better to
wait for them to come to us.
Best not let my parole officer
know anything either.
I reckon we should just
keep all the information
we've got between us
pretty quiet, yeah?
- Oi, dad!
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Joey's still asleep, mate.
- Oh, I need to show you, there's
a black snake by the shed.
- Right, I'll
have look mate, now go on.
- Hank's on his way home.
- Is that something you know,
or something you think's gonna happen?
- No, called this morning.
- I'm out of here.
- Great, I got my job
interview tomorrow.
- Don't worry honey,
you'll get your job.
Where are you going?
- Noodles.
- When did you
two get back together?
- I'll be back later, all right?
- It's gonna be a shit fight
when Hank finds out about Joey.
- Can I get you a coffee?
- No thanks.
Health department.
Yeah, can you put me through
to forensics, please?
Thanks.
Hello, can I speak to
Ken carnie, please?
Bugger.
Yeah, Perry luscombe, Ken knows me.
Can you ask him to give me a call?
Thanks.
Shit.
- Someone you know mate?
- That's my counselor.
- You kick my car?
- What are you talking about mate?
- It was you, wasn't it?
- I woulda done a
better job than that.
- You think I'm a bloody idiot?
- No, I think you're
my girlfriend's father.
- What?
- Shit, look, I didn't wanna tell you,
but that's why I couldn't leave Sydney.
- Because of taz?
- What, have you got
a problem with that?
I'm not good enough for your daughter?
- You leave her alone.
- Well, it's a bit late for that mate.
Look, don't worry she still loves you.
She got that lava lamp you
gave her beside her bed.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Jesus.
- Ko!
- Bloody faggot.
- Oh, Ken, yeah, hi.
Yeah, thanks for calling back.
Look, I'm dealing with
a trauma patient,
and I need to find out something
about a Tom daugherty.
Yeah, he was a cowboy in
the town with the rodeo.
Apparently he died of
internal injuries yesterday.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Canadian?
No, no.
No, it's fine, thanks, wrong man, yeah.
Idiot.
Taz, it's me, call me when
you get this, will you?
- I can't believe I made that speech.
How bad was I?
Oh, thanks for coming.
Perry never wants to do anything,
and when I finally get him out
he just spends the
whole night asking me,
"when are we gonna go home?"
- Hey, who's Lucas?
- Yes, I noticed that, he
cornered you for ages.
What was he talking about?
- Said, "you had a lot of history."
- He was my best friends boyfriend,
I fell in love with him,
had an affair with him.
And then the whole thing exploded,
and then, she, Kirsten, never
spoke to me again, so.
What was that?
- I see something.
A rock?
I'll go and have a look.
A turtle!
- Oh my god, look
at it, it's still alive.
- What can we do?
- Can we take it to a vet?
I don't know, can we pick it up?
Oh god, what should we do?
- We have to do something very quickly,
I don't think it is very happy.
- We'll have to take it with us.
- I'm not picking it up.
- All right, well
you hold it while I drive.
- No!
I'll drive, you hold it!
- Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Open the boot.
- G'day, you're just the
bloke I wanted to see.
I think I need to report
something to the police.
- Yeah, what?
- Look, I feel really bad about this,
but I'm doing anger management
sessions with Perry luscombe,
and, well we came out
after the session,
and he bloody clocked me.
Hey, look, those guys
were with me though,
and saw him do it.
Look, I don't know wanna
dog on the guy but,
you know, I've gotta go back to him.
I don't know if I'm gonna have
to protect meself, you know?
- How about I have a word to Perry?
See what he's got to say?
- Yeah, I reckon he's feeling
pretty bad about it.
Look, I'll be over me mom and
dad's, I'll be waiting for ya.
All right...
- ah, you're a bloody
idiot, you know that?
- What are you talking about?
I'm just making sure that...
- We don't wanna
draw attention to ourselves,
you get it?
- Yeah, right-o, just
looking after me territory.

- No he's not.
- Yeah, he is.

it out of the house
'cause you ain't gonna last here long!
- Get out, I'm getting dressed!
- Hey now.
Hey, well now I'm enjoying the show.
Ooh, that's it, ooh.
Never thought I'd see a relative
of Jeff Burke's living in this house.
- Well we're one big happy
family these days, mate.
- Oh yeah, well why'd
Fifi put a lock on?
- 'Cause she heard you
were coming back.
- Oh, good come back mate.
If your stuff's not out,
I'm throwing it out.
Get it?
- Hank, lay off, all right
we'll do it tomorrow.
There's plenty of room.
- God, it's just like Romeo and Juliet
with you two, isn't it, hey?
Burkes and the sharps.
- When'd you start reading?
- Come on Kieran!
- Get off!
- Come on, I apologized!
- I said, get off!
- If I apologized you'd help me.
- Gotta go fif.
- Get off.
- Come on Kieran, I'm sorry.
- You crossed the line Hank.
- Yeah, I know, I'm a piece of shit.
Look, I respect you for
standing up to me.
Look, do you want in
on this job or not?
You'll make a few bucks, and look,
I need someone I can trust.
I'm counting on you.
- Yeah, I'll think
about it, all right?
- Oh look, it's Romeo and
Juliet in the balcony scene.
Wanna meet my friends, Joey?
- Joey, can you give me
a lift down to horsey?
Sharpie, I'll be back in a moment.
- Right-o.
- Hey, so where is your girlfriend?
- He doesn't need to tell you,
he only just got her back.
- What are you talking about fif?
- Some people around here
can speak for themselves.
I never liked Joey.
- Yeah, you wouldn't know
your ass from your elbow.
What are you laughing at
Kieran, it's you he did it to?
- G'day.
- You wanna beer?
- No thanks, on duty.
- Oh, we
won't dob on you mate.
- I just wanna talk to
Hank and his two friends.
Gonna get some details.
- About what?
- I'll talk to you
inside if you like Hank?
- I'm just enjoying the
late afternoon sun.
It's been a bit of time without
it, if you know what I mean.
You should take a seat, got
nothing to hide from me family.
- What's going on?
- My bloody counselor punched me.
- He reckons you trashed his car.
- I didn't trash his car.
- Okay, then what are
you gonna do about it?
- Don't know yet.
- Well there is no sunset
clause in this one.
I'll give you a day or
two to think about it.
Perry seems like a
pretty good guy to me.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, right, I'll
think about it then.
- Hey, Perry.
- Mike, what'd he say?
- We're a bit in limbo at the moment.
I had tried to dissuade him.
- Hmm.
- Hank's a shit bag, but shit
bags have their rights too.
- Yeah.
What's my worst possible scenario?
- Worse case scenario, you'll
be charged with assault,
you will go to court,
you'll be found guilty.
You'll have a criminal record,
then you'll be struck off.
I'll let you know when I hear anything.
- Yeah.
- Perry, I don't think
he'll go through with it.
But if I were you, I wouldn't
be making Hank sharp an enemy.
- I'm just mixing up some resin
so we can try and hold
his shell together.
- You've done this before?
- Does it work?
- Well, we'll keep here
for a couple of days,
see how he goes.
All we can do it hope that
this poor little fella
will get back to his natural
habitat and survive.
- Well, thank you Mr. vet.
- It's my pleasure.
You should come and visit.
The turtle that is.
- Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
- Both of you.
- Thank you.
He liked you, that man.
- Maybe the cracked shell was a sign
that I should run off with the vet.
- Nah, too much competition.
He'd always put the animal first.
Besides the smell.
- Oh, I don't know, I don't
mind the animal smell.
- When I first met
backa he used to sleep
in his underwear, and then
wear it again the next day.
- Don't start me up.
- And then I didn't know
he picked his feet.
- Oh, no!
I used to go out with
a guy that did that.
So, did you ever work out
who bought the dobra?
- No, but I'm planning another
one, hidden this time.
- You make much money outta that?
- Well, I hope to make enough
so that svorish uncle
Jeff leaves us alone.
Don't tell backa.
- Mm.
- Do you still tell Perry everything?
- No, I guess not.
I didn't tell him I kissed Joey.
Don't tell me you didn't know?
Backa saw us!
- Why did you kiss him?
- Oh, I don't know.
I've always been a bit
dangerous like that.
- Kids are in bed.
- Do you want one, do you want one?
- Oh yeah, okay.
- Backa doesn't drink much these days.
- How was your trip?
- Oi.
Good, we had a lot of fun.
- Really?
- Mm, it was good, I'm
glad svettie came.
Perry doesn't like to
come to those things
and I'm sick of going on
my own, so that was good.
I got quite a good
response for my book.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, it was good to see, you know?
Go out, get in a good city.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah,
I can see the trouble
you two girls would get into.
Yeah, she's a bad influence.
Hey, what happened to you guys?
I thought you'd be back earlier.
- I ran over a turtle.
And we had to stop and find the vet
and then go to the
next town and several.
- And then on the way
home we told each other
secrets about our husbands.
- No, you did not!
Oh, I'm in trouble, don't
believe a word she said.
- What, not even the fact that
you have very large hands?
What is it about blokes
that they love the idea
of large hands, don't they?
- The fingers, size of the fingers.
Don't worry darling, I
already told her were huge.
- And svettie also told me
that you sent nude polaroids
all the way to St. Petersburg.
- Svettie, what are you?
- You're so cute.
- Can you call Perry, tell him
to get over here, please?
- I think backa needs some back up.
- I'm serious.
- All right.
- Hey, you.
- Hey, darling, it's me.
- Hi.
- Did you get all my messages?
- Yeah, yeah, sorry.
- I'm right at svettie's
having a drink,
do you wanna come over here?
- I don't wanna really go out.
- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
You just do whatever
you have to do, okay?
- All right, right-o.
- All right, I'll see
you when you get back.
- Okay, bye.
Hmm, I don't think he
wants to come out.
- You wanna stay anyway?
- He's in a bit of a dark mood,
I might get home, actually.
But thank you very much.
See ya later. - Awe.
- I'll see ya.
- Well, thank you very
much for last night.
I had such a good time.
I think you should just
do it, get pregnant now
and don't tell him.
Perry's reliable, he'll calm,
he can analyze it all later.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Kid's missed you.
Something wrong?
What's wrong?
Svettie?
What happened between
saying goodbye to lill
and coming back in here?
Svettie, you pissed off with me?
- Why didn't you tell me
that lill kissed Joey?
- Are you kidding?
- No, what kinda
relationship do we have
if you keep secrets from me?
- Lill is a bloody
idiot for telling you.
- She's not, she's my friend.
- Svettie, I love you, but you
can't keep your mouth shut.
- I don't want you to
have a secret with her!
She's my friend.
- She's your friend, she.
Do you know what?
Fair enough.
Baby, all I'm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How'd you go today?
Well, the launch went quite
well, thanks for asking.
There was quite a lot of press,
and there was lots of champagne.
Bit hungover, actually.
It was quite good fun.
And then on the way home I
ran over a bloody turtle.
Can you believe that?
Well, do you want to
tell me what I've done?
- There's bigger stuff going
on at the moment, lill,
it's not always about you.
- Well, I don't know Perry, so
you're gonna have to tell me.
- There's a young man in my care,
and I failed at caring for him.
I not only failed at my job.
I've pushed him further down a path
that he's come to me to get off.
I've made a terrible
mess of his recovery.
And I don't know what to do now.
- What are you talking about?
- I've mismanaged my role as a father.
- What's this got to
do with you being a parent?
- I just wasn't listening.
I let him get to me.
It's Hank.
Hank.
Well,
he tried to blackmail
me, and then I hit him
when he told me he was
sleeping with taz.
What?
- Just, us.
It's
you,
first wife, and everything
that comes with that.
Always be first.
- All right.
- So, where are we
gonna pick up the monies?
- Somewhere we know
we're gonna get noticed.
- Don't worry, I
know the perfect place.
- It ain't worth it
if it's gonna be under 20.
- It'll be worth it, all right?
- All right, well
you pay your brother
outta your share.
- Awe mate, everyone
gets a fair share.
- Can you try and respect something?
And can you guys please keep it down?
I've got a job interview tomorrow.
- Oh, oh, that's right sorry,
you're gonna be a
glorified check out chick
for the royal fire service.
Oh, Fifi.
Hey fif,
I'm up for a job too, do you
want me to tell you about it?
- Your sister's pretty nice, mate.
- Aye, a good one
mate, I'm pregnant.
- I'm gonna be at Jeff's place
early tomorrow morning.
- Are you taking those crackers to bed?
- Yep.
- He was target practice
for a good couple of weeks after that.
- I thought went to bed.
- Oh no, not when there's
some action happening man.
- Oh, you're right.
- Kieran get us a beer, will ya?
- There's none left.
- You're wife's a good cook Mr. sharp.
Better than the grub in prison.
- Yeah.
- How would you know?
- I've done some time.
- Yeah, right, good one sharpie.
- Yeah.
I did a one nighter for parking
fines back in the '70s.
The duck sucked.
- Shit, dad, don't be a goose.
- Yeah, I knew a guy who knew a bloke
that did time in America.
Sued the department of
corrections, or whatever.
'Cause they weren't letting
him practice his religion.
Druidic vampire.
They weren't supplying
his vampiring needs.
And he reckoned he should
be allowed sexual access
to a vampress.
- Going out tonight, shall we?
- Awe, get off it!
- Lazy boy.
- Get off him.
Get off him you poopter!
Watch yourself.
- Right-o.
- Sit down, yeah give me some.
- Who's driving?
- Hey Hank,
you're driving, mate.
- Right-o.
- Hank, Hank, stop!
Stop, Hank, Hank, what are you doing?
- I'm gonna pick up
something in fox cove.
- You can't drive.
- Yes I can Fifi, I got
my license before you.
- You're on parole, you'll
get done if you're picked up
and you're over the limit.
- There you see?
You do care about me.
- Don't do the crime if
you can't do the time.
- Yeah.
- Kieran!
- Come on Kieran.
- Get it right,
- Hey, here we go boys.
- There we go.
- Yeah man, time
to kill some rabbits.
- Hank, where are you?
Hank!
- Hi, Jeff, it's Perry lumscombe.
Look, I can hear gunshots
coming from the valley.
Yeah.
Right, okay, thanks Jeff, bye.
- What's going on?
- A couple of idiots with guns.
Don't go out there just yet
- don't think it's Hank, do you?
- I'm bloody sure it's Hank.
He's doing this to wind me up.
Just don't go out in case there's
an accident or something.
- Well, where's the shots coming from?
Should we call Jeff?
- Yeah, I just did.
Backa's round at his place,
he's gonna go out and investigate.
- Oh, Perry.
I'm sorry.
- I haven't slept all night.
He won't press charges, he hasn't
got the patience for that.
I know him, I know the way he thinks.
He's just doing this to needle me.
No, this is all about me
being able to do my job.
- Well, we know you can do that.
- I don't know if I can, lill.
- Just forget that he's with
taz for a minute, okay?
What would you do then?
- But he is with taz.
However I deal with Hank,
it's gonna effect her.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh!
- Hank, you can't shoot here.
This is Jeff's land, you know
that, you're trespassing.
- Oh, sorry mate, I didn't
realize this was Jeff's land.
- What are you after?
- Oh, we're getting some rabbits.
Mom thought shed make a
rabbit stew for tea.
Hey.
Maybe you and the family
should come around later?
Hey, have some rabbit stew.
Oh, me mom makes a blinder rabbit stew.
- Yeah, thanks, all right.
I'll see how we're going, hey?
Kieran's back at the car, I
told him to wait for you there.
- All right.
- Sorry mate.
Didn't realize we were on
anyone else's property.
Not bad, aye?
- The position really requires
good administration skills.
Apart from that, from the
things I've outlined,
brigade support, operational
response, equipment,
which I'm sure you have a handle on.
- 435, we're at the
scene, and we have the boy.
Well, I guess this is where
you'd maybe like to ask me a question?
- Yeah.
The administration stuff, can
you run that by me, please?
- Pretty straight forward.
Word processing, maintaining
the internal tracker system,
routine correspondence, taking
care of travel arrangements.
Taking meetings, transcribing.
There's a call coming, you up to it?
- Yeah, I am Bryce, I
really want this job
it's just that - let's see how you go.
- I've had some stuff
happening at home, so.
- Yeah, you're a little
confused, I know.
Okay, go to house 5038
marked for ingram
you'll have to activate
the pages for ingram,
janderburg, and fox cove.
- Yeah, on to it.
Ingram, janderburg, what?
- Fox cove.
- Fox cove.
- G'day.
- Hi, just thought I'd let you know
I sent the shooters home.
- Great, they know
they were trespassing?
- Well, it was Hank and Kieran sharp
out shooting rabbits,
when they shoulda known,
but Hank doesn't normally follow rules.
- No, I've gotta go.
Thanks for coming by backa,
I appreciate it.
- Hey, what happened to you
last night?
Svettie and lill practically
annihilated me.
- Oh, you enjoyed every bit of it.
- See ya.
- Bye.
- Perry called.
He wants to see you at 11.
- Kieran, come here.
- I told him you'd be there, Hank.
- See the rabbits we got you, mom?
- Couple of beauties, hey, Mrs.
sharp?
- Yes, I see.
- I don't want you
hanging out with him,
you know what I'm saying?
If you wanna get involved in this world
you pick your shit, and
this isn't it, mate.
All right, Kieran?
- Giving him a little pep talk, huh?
Oh, don't go out in the
big bad world with Hank.
Know you're the one who
put us in there sharpie.
Hi, Joey!
Hey, you got 10 bucks,
you wanna go buy us a couple of beers?
- Leave him alone!
- It's all right fif, I
can fight my own battles.
How'd you go?
- If I wasn't so bloody tired
I woulda done all right.
- Checking out
the check out girl.
- What's wrong with you?
- With me?
- You're gonna end up back in
jail, is that what you want?
- Is that what you want?
At least I won't end up with a Burke.
- Shit, Hank, there's
more out there than that,
don't you see that?
You make me wanna cry.
- I better get going.
- What, to your counselor?
- Yeah.
- What for?
- Well, I've gotta keep
me mom happy, mate.
Can I borrow your car?
- Yeah, you can have it.
- I couldn't hear a word
that he was saying to me
the whole time.
And he must think I'm a complete idiot.
- Babe.
- And I want this job, Joey,
and I wanna keep doing it
after I've had the baby.
- That's good, that's good.
- I don't want my kid
to turn out like him.
- He won't fif.
- Well then something terrible's
gonna happen to Hank,
and nobody's trying to stop it,
and he's gonna drag Kieran in with him.
And mom and dad are so, they
just, they tip toe around Hank!
I don't get it!
- Well babe, you know they're
his parents, you know?
They love him, that's all.
- It's just a bunch of shit.
- What is?
- Family is.
And it hurts so much,
it's worse than breaking
up with someone.
I don't wanna do that.
I wanna give my kid something else.
- We will.
- How do you know?
- Oh, I just do.
- Come in.
I- g'day.
- Thanks for coming.
Sit down.
I'm not gonna say anything
to the parole board.
I don't think you deserve
to be treated like that.
I wanna be honest with you Hank.
There's a word in mental health,
it's actually an important
word in anger management.
Empathic failure.
Basically, it's when people
stop listening to each other.
Empathic failure
probably happened to you
from the time you were a boy.
- Yeah, yeah, whatever.
That's nice. - No, wait a minute,
I haven't finished, please.
I didn't listen to you when you told me
you didn't trash my car.
I'm sorry.
I was basically just
Stunned by your little
disclosure, and I didn't listen.
I've been thinking about
different ways in which I
failed taz as a father.
Now I find myself doing
it all over again.
Only this time with you.
- I'm a psychopath,
Perry, you can't help me.
- No you're not.
You're had a difficult childhood
that led to all kinds of
negative thought patterns.
But, you can change your thinking.
You're strong, and you're
very bloody clever.
Right now you have a choice.
- Where were you mate?
Hey?
We gotta get going.
Back next week, right?
What's the matter, mate?
- Nothing.
- Don't tell me he got to ya.
- Shut up, all right?
- You are a loser.
- Yeah, I'm a loser.
You guys are bloody faggots, mate!

Bloody gay beer truck hit

- Didn't lose it, it's
right here on my heat.
- There's another cowboy!
I'm sorry, you gonna hold me or what?

- Ooh, you have her, she
was blocking taz's way.
Hey come on bro, come on bro.
- Hi, is Hank there?
No, no, it's just his mom,
just haven't heard from him in awhile.
- At least when he was in
jail we knew where he was.
- I think it's great, and
I'm really proud of you.

- Good book?
- Yeah.
Which witch has the tallest hat?
Which witch has the fattest cat?
Which witch could eat a spider?
Which witch has a frog inside her?
Which witch can cast a spell?
You must beware, 'cause you
can never tell. - Can never tell.
Oh wow!
Thank you, darling.
Can I steal her?
I wanna take her to my
book launch with me.
- Doesn't Perry know his lines?
- Perry can't come.
- I bet you I'll win!
- I went out without my
husband of couple weeks ago,
I had a great time.
- Svettie.
I want you to come with me. - What?
You do? - Yeah,
we'll drive to the city.
- A little bit of shopping.
- Couple of glasses of champagne.
- We have a little fun.
- Hmm.
Backa!
I'm gonna steal your wife.
Just for one night.
She's gonna come to my book launch.
- Why does that make me nervous?
- Because it should.
- That means yes.
- Randy
to the line, golden.
- Just remembered,
used to go to the dogs
with me old man when I was a kid,
'cause I haven't thought of me
old man for about five years.
- Young
bribe doing it easily.
Young bribe by 40.
- See, they're dodgy with
the odds on our race.
- What about your old man,
he's all right, is he?
- Oh yeah, he's cool, he's
done some shit, you know?
- Yeah, well, I don't
want him involved, mate.
- He's not gonna be involved,
just me brother Kieran.
And I'm not telling nothing neither.
- I don't know much about
this family shit, Steve.
- Hmm, you haven't met my family.
Can you just chill, all right?
Better go, here's my man.
- You missed
your session last week,
can you tell me why?
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- It's a condition of your
parole that you attend
these anger management sessions.
I'm gonna have to contact
your parole officer
and let him know you're not
fulfilling your obligations.
- You wouldn't dob on me, would ya?
- Hank, right now you have options.
I don't wanna see those
taken away from you.
And I would like to try
and work with you.
- Oh yeah, we do need to work together.
Have you seen this?
That cowboy that taz thought
she hid in her car,
his name's Tom daugherty.
We should've taken him to
hospital straight away.
He was sitting on those
injuries, then suddenly,
Dead.
What are we gonna do?
- There's no we.
This is a session here.
What you and I have to talk about it
is why you haven't been
turning up. - Yeah, I know, I know!
And we can talk about that Perry,
I guess I'm just really
worried about taz.
- Taz is not an issue for discussion.
- Geez, I wouldn't downplay
me own daughter like that.
- Any connection between my daughter
and this newspaper article has
got nothing to do with you.
- I reckon we should
just keep quiet, yeah?
And let's not go in and
encounter the cops just yet.
In my experience it's better to
wait for them to come to us.
Best not let my parole officer
know anything either.
I reckon we should just
keep all the information
we've got between us
pretty quiet, yeah?
- Oi, dad!
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Joey's still asleep, mate.
- Oh, I need to show you, there's
a black snake by the shed.
- Right, I'll
have look mate, now go on.
- Hank's on his way home.
- Is that something you know,
or something you think's gonna happen?
- No, called this morning.
- I'm out of here.
- Great, I got my job
interview tomorrow.
- Don't worry honey,
you'll get your job.
Where are you going?
- Noodles.
- When did you
two get back together?
- I'll be back later, all right?
- It's gonna be a shit fight
when Hank finds out about Joey.
- Can I get you a coffee?
- No thanks.
Health department.
Yeah, can you put me through
to forensics, please?
Thanks.
Hello, can I speak to
Ken carnie, please?
Bugger.
Yeah, Perry luscombe, Ken knows me.
Can you ask him to give me a call?
Thanks.
Shit.
- Someone you know mate?
- That's my counselor.
- You kick my car?
- What are you talking about mate?
- It was you, wasn't it?
- I woulda done a
better job than that.
- You think I'm a bloody idiot?
- No, I think you're
my girlfriend's father.
- What?
- Shit, look, I didn't wanna tell you,
but that's why I couldn't leave Sydney.
- Because of taz?
- What, have you got
a problem with that?
I'm not good enough for your daughter?
- You leave her alone.
- Well, it's a bit late for that mate.
Look, don't worry she still loves you.
She got that lava lamp you
gave her beside her bed.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Jesus.
- Ko!
- Bloody faggot.
- Oh, Ken, yeah, hi.
Yeah, thanks for calling back.
Look, I'm dealing with
a trauma patient,
and I need to find out something
about a Tom daugherty.
Yeah, he was a cowboy in
the town with the rodeo.
Apparently he died of
internal injuries yesterday.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Canadian?
No, no.
No, it's fine, thanks, wrong man, yeah.
Idiot.
Taz, it's me, call me when
you get this, will you?
- I can't believe I made that speech.
How bad was I?
Oh, thanks for coming.
Perry never wants to do anything,
and when I finally get him out
he just spends the
whole night asking me,
"when are we gonna go home?"
- Hey, who's Lucas?
- Yes, I noticed that, he
cornered you for ages.
What was he talking about?
- Said, "you had a lot of history."
- He was my best friends boyfriend,
I fell in love with him,
had an affair with him.
And then the whole thing exploded,
and then, she, Kirsten, never
spoke to me again, so.
What was that?
- I see something.
A rock?
I'll go and have a look.
A turtle!
- Oh my god, look
at it, it's still alive.
- What can we do?
- Can we take it to a vet?
I don't know, can we pick it up?
Oh god, what should we do?
- We have to do something very quickly,
I don't think it is very happy.
- We'll have to take it with us.
- I'm not picking it up.
- All right, well
you hold it while I drive.
- No!
I'll drive, you hold it!
- Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Open the boot.
- G'day, you're just the
bloke I wanted to see.
I think I need to report
something to the police.
- Yeah, what?
- Look, I feel really bad about this,
but I'm doing anger management
sessions with Perry luscombe,
and, well we came out
after the session,
and he bloody clocked me.
Hey, look, those guys
were with me though,
and saw him do it.
Look, I don't know wanna
dog on the guy but,
you know, I've gotta go back to him.
I don't know if I'm gonna have
to protect meself, you know?
- How about I have a word to Perry?
See what he's got to say?
- Yeah, I reckon he's feeling
pretty bad about it.
Look, I'll be over me mom and
dad's, I'll be waiting for ya.
All right...
- ah, you're a bloody
idiot, you know that?
- What are you talking about?
I'm just making sure that...
- We don't wanna
draw attention to ourselves,
you get it?
- Yeah, right-o, just
looking after me territory.

Hey, well now I'm enjoying the show.
Ooh, that's it, ooh.

Fifi put a lock on?

Look, I respect you for
standing up to me.
Look, do you want in

You'll make a few bucks, and look,
I need someone I can trust.
I'm counting on you.

Juliet in the balcony scene.
Wanna meet my friends, Joey?
- Joey, can you give me
a lift down to horsey?
Sharpie, I'll be back in a moment.
- Right-o.
- Hey, so where is your girlfriend?
- He doesn't need to tell you,
he only just got her back.
- What are you talking about fif?
- Some people around here
can speak for themselves.
I never liked Joey.
- Yeah, you wouldn't know
your ass from your elbow.
What are you laughing at
Kieran, it's you he did it to?
- G'day.
- You wanna beer?
- No thanks, on duty.
- Oh, we
won't dob on you mate.
- I just wanna talk to
Hank and his two friends.
Gonna get some details.
- About what?
- I'll talk to you
inside if you like Hank?
- I'm just enjoying the
late afternoon sun.
It's been a bit of time without
it, if you know what I mean.
You should take a seat, got
nothing to hide from me family.
- What's going on?
- My bloody counselor punched me.
- He reckons you trashed his car.
- I didn't trash his car.
- Okay, then what are
you gonna do about it?
- Don't know yet.
- Well there is no sunset
clause in this one.
I'll give you a day or
two to think about it.
Perry seems like a
pretty good guy to me.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, right, I'll
think about it then.
- Hey, Perry.
- Mike, what'd he say?
- We're a bit in limbo at the moment.
I had tried to dissuade him.
- Hmm.
- Hank's a shit bag, but shit
bags have their rights too.
- Yeah.
What's my worst possible scenario?
- Worse case scenario, you'll
be charged with assault,
you will go to court,
you'll be found guilty.
You'll have a criminal record,
then you'll be struck off.
I'll let you know when I hear anything.
- Yeah.
- Perry, I don't think
he'll go through with it.
But if I were you, I wouldn't
be making Hank sharp an enemy.
- I'm just mixing up some resin
so we can try and hold
his shell together.
- You've done this before?
- Does it work?
- Well, we'll keep here
for a couple of days,
see how he goes.
All we can do it hope that
this poor little fella
will get back to his natural
habitat and survive.
- Well, thank you Mr. vet.
- It's my pleasure.
You should come and visit.
The turtle that is.
- Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
- Both of you.
- Thank you.
He liked you, that man.
- Maybe the cracked shell was a sign
that I should run off with the vet.
- Nah, too much competition.
He'd always put the animal first.
Besides the smell.
- Oh, I don't know, I don't
mind the animal smell.
- When I first met
backa he used to sleep
in his underwear, and then
wear it again the next day.
- Don't start me up.
- And then I didn't know
he picked his feet.
- Oh, no!
I used to go out with
a guy that did that.
So, did you ever work out
who bought the dobra?
- No, but I'm planning another
one, hidden this time.
- You make much money outta that?
- Well, I hope to make enough
so that svorish uncle
Jeff leaves us alone.
Don't tell backa.
- Mm.
- Do you still tell Perry everything?
- No, I guess not.
I didn't tell him I kissed Joey.
Don't tell me you didn't know?
Backa saw us!
- Why did you kiss him?
- Oh, I don't know.
I've always been a bit
dangerous like that.
- Kids are in bed.
- Do you want one, do you want one?
- Oh yeah, okay.
- Backa doesn't drink much these days.
- How was your trip?
- Oi.
Good, we had a lot of fun.
- Really?
- Mm, it was good, I'm
glad svettie came.
Perry doesn't like to
come to those things
and I'm sick of going on
my own, so that was good.
I got quite a good
response for my book.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, it was good to see, you know?
Go out, get in a good city.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah,
I can see the trouble
you two girls would get into.
Yeah, she's a bad influence.
Hey, what happened to you guys?
I thought you'd be back earlier.
- I ran over a turtle.
And we had to stop and find the vet
and then go to the
next town and several.
- And then on the way
home we told each other
secrets about our husbands.
- No, you did not!
Oh, I'm in trouble, don't
believe a word she said.
- What, not even the fact that
you have very large hands?
What is it about blokes
that they love the idea
of large hands, don't they?
- The fingers, size of the fingers.
Don't worry darling, I
already told her were huge.
- And svettie also told me
that you sent nude polaroids
all the way to St. Petersburg.
- Svettie, what are you?
- You're so cute.
- Can you call Perry, tell him
to get over here, please?
- I think backa needs some back up.
- I'm serious.
- All right.
- Hey, you.
- Hey, darling, it's me.
- Hi.
- Did you get all my messages?
- Yeah, yeah, sorry.
- I'm right at svettie's
having a drink,
do you wanna come over here?
- I don't wanna really go out.
- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
You just do whatever
you have to do, okay?
- All right, right-o.
- All right, I'll see
you when you get back.
- Okay, bye.
Hmm, I don't think he
wants to come out.
- You wanna stay anyway?
- He's in a bit of a dark mood,
I might get home, actually.
But thank you very much.
See ya later. - Awe.
- I'll see ya.
- Well, thank you very
much for last night.
I had such a good time.
I think you should just
do it, get pregnant now
and don't tell him.
Perry's reliable, he'll calm,
he can analyze it all later.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Kid's missed you.
Something wrong?
What's wrong?
Svettie?
What happened between
saying goodbye to lill
and coming back in here?
Svettie, you pissed off with me?
- Why didn't you tell me
that lill kissed Joey?
- Are you kidding?
- No, what kinda
relationship do we have
if you keep secrets from me?
- Lill is a bloody
idiot for telling you.
- She's not, she's my friend.
- Svettie, I love you, but you
can't keep your mouth shut.
- I don't want you to
have a secret with her!
She's my friend.
- She's your friend, she.
Do you know what?
Fair enough.
Baby, all I'm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How'd you go today?
Well, the launch went quite
well, thanks for asking.
There was quite a lot of press,
and there was lots of champagne.
Bit hungover, actually.
It was quite good fun.
And then on the way home I
ran over a bloody turtle.
Can you believe that?
Well, do you want to
tell me what I've done?
- There's bigger stuff going
on at the moment, lill,
it's not always about you.
- Well, I don't know Perry, so
you're gonna have to tell me.
- There's a young man in my care,
and I failed at caring for him.
I not only failed at my job.
I've pushed him further down a path
that he's come to me to get off.
I've made a terrible
mess of his recovery.
And I don't know what to do now.
- What are you talking about?
- I've mismanaged my role as a father.
- What's this got to
do with you being a parent?
- I just wasn't listening.
I let him get to me.
It's Hank.
Hank.
Well,
he tried to blackmail
me, and then I hit him
when he told me he was
sleeping with taz.
What?
- Just, us.
It's
you,
first wife, and everything
that comes with that.
Always be first.
- All right.
- So, where are we
gonna pick up the monies?
- Somewhere we know
we're gonna get noticed.
- Don't worry, I
know the perfect place.
- It ain't worth it
if it's gonna be under 20.
- It'll be worth it, all right?
- All right, well
you pay your brother
outta your share.
- Awe mate, everyone
gets a fair share.
- Can you try and respect something?
And can you guys please keep it down?
I've got a job interview tomorrow.
- Oh, oh, that's right sorry,
you're gonna be a
glorified check out chick
for the royal fire service.
Oh, Fifi.
Hey fif,
I'm up for a job too, do you
want me to tell you about it?
- Your sister's pretty nice, mate.
- Aye, a good one
mate, I'm pregnant.
- I'm gonna be at Jeff's place
early tomorrow morning.
- Are you taking those crackers to bed?
- Yep.
- He was target practice
for a good couple of weeks after that.
- I thought went to bed.
- Oh no, not when there's
some action happening man.
- Oh, you're right.
- Kieran get us a beer, will ya?
- There's none left.
- You're wife's a good cook Mr. sharp.
Better than the grub in prison.
- Yeah.
- How would you know?
- I've done some time.
- Yeah, right, good one sharpie.
- Yeah.
I did a one nighter for parking
fines back in the '70s.
The duck sucked.
- Shit, dad, don't be a goose.
- Yeah, I knew a guy who knew a bloke
that did time in America.
Sued the department of
corrections, or whatever.
'Cause they weren't letting
him practice his religion.
Druidic vampire.
They weren't supplying
his vampiring needs.
And he reckoned he should
be allowed sexual access
to a vampress.
- Going out tonight, shall we?
- Awe, get off it!
- Lazy boy.
- Get off him.
Get off him you poopter!
Watch yourself.
- Right-o.
- Sit down, yeah give me some.
- Who's driving?
- Hey Hank,
you're driving, mate.
- Right-o.
- Hank, Hank, stop!
Stop, Hank, Hank, what are you doing?
- I'm gonna pick up
something in fox cove.
- You can't drive.
- Yes I can Fifi, I got
my license before you.
- You're on parole, you'll
get done if you're picked up
and you're over the limit.
- There you see?
You do care about me.
- Don't do the crime if
you can't do the time.
- Yeah.
- Kieran!
- Come on Kieran.
- Get it right,
- Hey, here we go boys.
- There we go.
- Yeah man, time
to kill some rabbits.
- Hank, where are you?
Hank!
- Hi, Jeff, it's Perry lumscombe.
Look, I can hear gunshots
coming from the valley.
Yeah.
Right, okay, thanks Jeff, bye.
- What's going on?
- A couple of idiots with guns.
Don't go out there just yet
- don't think it's Hank, do you?
- I'm bloody sure it's Hank.
He's doing this to wind me up.
Just don't go out in case there's
an accident or something.
- Well, where's the shots coming from?
Should we call Jeff?
- Yeah, I just did.
Backa's round at his place,
he's gonna go out and investigate.
- Oh, Perry.
I'm sorry.
- I haven't slept all night.
He won't press charges, he hasn't
got the patience for that.
I know him, I know the way he thinks.
He's just doing this to needle me.
No, this is all about me
being able to do my job.
- Well, we know you can do that.
- I don't know if I can, lill.
- Just forget that he's with
taz for a minute, okay?
What would you do then?
- But he is with taz.
However I deal with Hank,
it's gonna effect her.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh!
- Hank, you can't shoot here.
This is Jeff's land, you know
that, you're trespassing.
- Oh, sorry mate, I didn't
realize this was Jeff's land.
- What are you after?
- Oh, we're getting some rabbits.
Mom thought shed make a
rabbit stew for tea.
Hey.
Maybe you and the family
should come around later?
Hey, have some rabbit stew.
Oh, me mom makes a blinder rabbit stew.
- Yeah, thanks, all right.
I'll see how we're going, hey?
Kieran's back at the car, I
told him to wait for you there.
- All right.
- Sorry mate.
Didn't realize we were on
anyone else's property.
Not bad, aye?
- The position really requires
good administration skills.
Apart from that, from the
things I've outlined,
brigade support, operational
response, equipment,
which I'm sure you have a handle on.
- 435, we're at the
scene, and we have the boy.
Well, I guess this is where
you'd maybe like to ask me a question?
- Yeah.
The administration stuff, can
you run that by me, please?
- Pretty straight forward.
Word processing, maintaining
the internal tracker system,
routine correspondence, taking
care of travel arrangements.
Taking meetings, transcribing.
There's a call coming, you up to it?
- Yeah, I am Bryce, I
really want this job
it's just that - let's see how you go.
- I've had some stuff
happening at home, so.
- Yeah, you're a little
confused, I know.
Okay, go to house 5038
marked for ingram
you'll have to activate
the pages for ingram,
janderburg, and fox cove.
- Yeah, on to it.
Ingram, janderburg, what?
- Fox cove.
- Fox cove.
- G'day.
- Hi, just thought I'd let you know
I sent the shooters home.
- Great, they know
they were trespassing?
- Well, it was Hank and Kieran sharp
out shooting rabbits,
when they shoulda known,
but Hank doesn't normally follow rules.
- No, I've gotta go.
Thanks for coming by backa,
I appreciate it.
- Hey, what happened to you
last night?
Svettie and lill practically
annihilated me.
- Oh, you enjoyed every bit of it.
- See ya.
- Bye.
- Perry called.
He wants to see you at 11.
- Kieran, come here.
- I told him you'd be there, Hank.
- See the rabbits we got you, mom?
- Couple of beauties, hey, Mrs.
sharp?
- Yes, I see.
- I don't want you
hanging out with him,
you know what I'm saying?
If you wanna get involved in this world
you pick your shit, and
this isn't it, mate.
All right, Kieran?
- Giving him a little pep talk, huh?
Oh, don't go out in the
big bad world with Hank.
Know you're the one who
put us in there sharpie.
Hi, Joey!
Hey, you got 10 bucks,
you wanna go buy us a couple of beers?
- Leave him alone!
- It's all right fif, I
can fight my own battles.
How'd you go?
- If I wasn't so bloody tired
I woulda done all right.
- Checking out
the check out girl.
- What's wrong with you?
- With me?
- You're gonna end up back in
jail, is that what you want?
- Is that what you want?
At least I won't end up with a Burke.
- Shit, Hank, there's
more out there than that,
don't you see that?
You make me wanna cry.
- I better get going.
- What, to your counselor?
- Yeah.
- What for?
- Well, I've gotta keep
me mom happy, mate.
Can I borrow your car?
- Yeah, you can have it.
- I couldn't hear a word
that he was saying to me
the whole time.
And he must think I'm a complete idiot.
- Babe.
- And I want this job, Joey,
and I wanna keep doing it
after I've had the baby.
- That's good, that's good.
- I don't want my kid
to turn out like him.
- He won't fif.
- Well then something terrible's
gonna happen to Hank,
and nobody's trying to stop it,
and he's gonna drag Kieran in with him.
And mom and dad are so, they
just, they tip toe around Hank!
I don't get it!
- Well babe, you know they're
his parents, you know?
They love him, that's all.
- It's just a bunch of shit.
- What is?
- Family is.
And it hurts so much,
it's worse than breaking
up with someone.
I don't wanna do that.
I wanna give my kid something else.
- We will.
- How do you know?
- Oh, I just do.
- Come in.
I- g'day.
- Thanks for coming.
Sit down.
I'm not gonna say anything
to the parole board.
I don't think you deserve
to be treated like that.
I wanna be honest with you Hank.
There's a word in mental health,
it's actually an important
word in anger management.
Empathic failure.
Basically, it's when people
stop listening to each other.
Empathic failure
probably happened to you
from the time you were a boy.
- Yeah, yeah, whatever.
That's nice. - No, wait a minute,
I haven't finished, please.
I didn't listen to you when you told me
you didn't trash my car.
I'm sorry.
I was basically just
Stunned by your little
disclosure, and I didn't listen.
I've been thinking about
different ways in which I
failed taz as a father.
Now I find myself doing
it all over again.
Only this time with you.
- I'm a psychopath,
Perry, you can't help me.
- No you're not.
You're had a difficult childhood
that led to all kinds of
negative thought patterns.
But, you can change your thinking.
You're strong, and you're
very bloody clever.
Right now you have a choice.
- Where were you mate?
Hey?
We gotta get going.
Back next week, right?
What's the matter, mate?
- Nothing.
- Don't tell me he got to ya.
- Shut up, all right?
- You are a loser.
- Yeah, I'm a loser.
You guys are bloody faggots, mate!
