December Boys
|
| 00:01:35 |
Hello. |
| 00:01:36 |
When I think about that time... |
| 00:01:39 |
...it's not the heat, |
| 00:01:43 |
...or even the boys I remember... |
| 00:01:46 |
...so much as a sense of anticipation. |
| 00:01:50 |
The constant belief |
| 00:02:23 |
I wouldn't say we had it bad... |
| 00:02:26 |
...since it was all most of us knew. |
| 00:02:30 |
It was only there was something |
| 00:02:34 |
...and we might never catch up. |
| 00:03:02 |
Lights out, boys. |
| 00:03:10 |
May you be blessed |
| 00:03:14 |
Amen. |
| 00:03:32 |
Sparks. |
| 00:04:04 |
Someone's coming. |
| 00:04:45 |
I don't remember who wrote |
| 00:04:49 |
...but I'd bet money |
| 00:04:53 |
Just look at it. |
| 00:04:58 |
This is where I lived |
| 00:05:02 |
This is where I lived until, |
| 00:05:05 |
...I was rescued by a dream. |
| 00:05:18 |
These were my best friends. |
| 00:05:19 |
Spark, Spit and Maps. |
| 00:05:24 |
My real name's Vernon, |
| 00:05:29 |
No reason to go into that right now. |
| 00:05:32 |
Today's the first of December... |
| 00:05:36 |
...the December boys |
| 00:05:40 |
They say the best place to start |
| 00:05:43 |
So, first off, you better know |
| 00:05:50 |
-Happy birthday. |
| 00:05:52 |
Thanks, Sister. |
| 00:05:57 |
Thank you. |
| 00:05:58 |
Everybody ready? |
| 00:06:12 |
lt's about the smokes. |
| 00:06:13 |
l told you |
| 00:06:16 |
-l didn't put them there. |
| 00:06:35 |
Enter. |
| 00:06:46 |
Come in, boys. |
| 00:06:52 |
Father Scully... |
| 00:06:54 |
...this is James, Donald, |
| 00:06:59 |
Better known as Maps, |
| 00:07:04 |
They're our December boys. |
| 00:07:08 |
-Happy birthday. |
| 00:07:11 |
We have a little surprise for you. |
| 00:07:15 |
Oh, it's a pleasant surprise. |
| 00:07:18 |
A benefactor has left |
| 00:07:21 |
...and l've decided to send everyone |
| 00:07:25 |
As this is your birthday month... |
| 00:07:28 |
...l felt it fitting |
| 00:07:30 |
We're going on a holiday? |
| 00:07:32 |
You'll be staying |
| 00:07:35 |
They're great friends |
| 00:07:38 |
lt's a town called... |
| 00:07:40 |
...Lady Star Cove. |
| 00:07:43 |
lt's a special place... |
| 00:07:46 |
...on the sea. |
| 00:07:51 |
On the sea? |
| 00:07:58 |
Yes. |
| 00:08:00 |
lt could be |
| 00:08:08 |
I had this spiritual antenna |
| 00:08:13 |
That's why I could see things |
| 00:08:16 |
When I looked at Our Lady, I knew. |
| 00:08:19 |
I knew she'd chosen me |
| 00:09:08 |
Maps. |
| 00:09:30 |
It was more than being orphans |
| 00:09:34 |
Or even our friendship. |
| 00:09:38 |
It was like destiny. |
| 00:09:40 |
Cross swords. |
| 00:09:43 |
We were even given |
| 00:09:45 |
All for one, and one for all. |
| 00:09:59 |
The further we traveled |
| 00:10:02 |
...the more it seemed like we were |
| 00:10:07 |
...a world where all the doors |
| 00:10:10 |
...and anything was possible. |
| 00:10:35 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |
| 00:10:44 |
The most bone-rattling, |
| 00:10:48 |
...death-defying act |
| 00:10:52 |
The Wall of Death! |
| 00:11:00 |
The one, the only, |
| 00:11:05 |
...Fearless Forte! |
| 00:11:42 |
-You all right there, boys? |
| 00:11:45 |
-Come along. |
| 00:11:48 |
Right you are. |
| 00:11:51 |
Boys, this is Petty Officer |
| 00:11:54 |
Father. |
| 00:11:56 |
Petty officer. |
| 00:12:01 |
As you can see, |
| 00:12:05 |
Boys, l'd like you |
| 00:12:07 |
...and the skipper |
| 00:12:11 |
Nice to meet you. |
| 00:12:12 |
Father, we thank God |
| 00:12:16 |
May his grace light your paths... |
| 00:12:19 |
...and give you the appropriate wisdom |
| 00:12:25 |
-Amen. |
| 00:12:27 |
Petty officer, show the new recruits |
| 00:12:30 |
...and l'll finish in the galley. |
| 00:12:33 |
Well, have fun, boys. |
| 00:12:35 |
Thank you, Father. |
| 00:12:36 |
Right. |
| 00:12:38 |
Step this way. |
| 00:12:40 |
Welcome aboard. |
| 00:13:08 |
All right, mateys. |
| 00:13:11 |
lt's been a long day. |
| 00:13:13 |
Time to settle down. |
| 00:13:18 |
And we'll let the Old Specific |
| 00:13:27 |
Good night, boys. |
| 00:13:41 |
The ocean's loud. |
| 00:13:44 |
-l didn't think it'd be this loud. |
| 00:13:48 |
The Old Specific. |
| 00:13:49 |
Hey, Spit, have a look at this. |
| 00:14:01 |
Hey, what's that? |
| 00:14:03 |
l suppose you know |
| 00:14:06 |
Really? |
| 00:14:10 |
Now l'll have company. |
| 00:14:14 |
Knock it off, both of you. |
| 00:14:16 |
l'm trying to relax. |
| 00:14:21 |
You hear that? |
| 00:14:24 |
ls he coming? |
| 00:14:29 |
Listen. |
| 00:14:35 |
My ass is snoring. |
| 00:15:04 |
Come on, mate. |
| 00:15:34 |
Last one in's a rotten egg! |
| 00:15:37 |
Really? Looks like |
| 00:15:40 |
Come on, Mist. |
| 00:15:45 |
Come on, Misty. |
| 00:15:46 |
-Come on. |
| 00:15:53 |
Have a look at this. |
| 00:15:55 |
Spark, come on. |
| 00:15:56 |
Yeah, coming. |
| 00:16:01 |
Hey! |
| 00:16:04 |
Hey! |
| 00:16:05 |
-Hey, fishing boat. |
| 00:16:08 |
-Hey. |
| 00:16:09 |
Hey, over here. |
| 00:16:11 |
Look. |
| 00:16:15 |
Come on. |
| 00:17:15 |
Hey, fellows. |
| 00:17:26 |
Somebody's set themselves up. |
| 00:17:35 |
Check out the cordial. |
| 00:17:40 |
-Maps. |
| 00:17:41 |
Don't take any. |
| 00:18:03 |
Hey. |
| 00:18:05 |
Who wants a ride? |
| 00:18:46 |
Coming back down. |
| 00:18:55 |
Hey, guys. |
| 00:18:57 |
What is it? |
| 00:19:00 |
Find out. |
| 00:19:37 |
She was the most beautiful woman |
| 00:19:41 |
...other than Our Lady. |
| 00:19:43 |
Sleek as a seal. |
| 00:19:46 |
Mind you, I hadn't seen |
| 00:19:51 |
Sparks. Come on. Sparks, get up. |
| 00:19:56 |
Come on. Get up. |
| 00:20:06 |
We heard you were coming. |
| 00:20:15 |
l'm Teresa. |
| 00:20:19 |
This was as close as I'd come |
| 00:20:23 |
But whatever ideas I had |
| 00:20:26 |
...quickly climbed into the back seat. |
| 00:20:30 |
How did you get these names? |
| 00:20:33 |
We call him Spark |
| 00:20:36 |
...and nearly set the orphanage |
| 00:20:43 |
And you? You are Spit? |
| 00:20:49 |
My dad flew a Spitfire during the war. |
| 00:20:53 |
-And you, you like maps. |
| 00:20:56 |
He's got a birthmark on his chest |
| 00:20:59 |
l'm all right. |
| 00:21:04 |
lf he doesn't want any, |
| 00:21:15 |
And why are you Misty? |
| 00:21:17 |
Because he's a waterworks. |
| 00:21:22 |
Okay. l'm going now. |
| 00:21:25 |
Fearless is home tonight. |
| 00:21:41 |
Who's that? |
| 00:21:43 |
That's Shellback. |
| 00:21:47 |
ls Henry a person or a fish? |
| 00:22:35 |
O, my good angel... |
| 00:22:39 |
...whom God has appointed |
| 00:22:42 |
...watch over me during this night... |
| 00:22:45 |
...and protect me... |
| 00:22:47 |
...from evil in my thoughts |
| 00:22:53 |
ln the deepest hour of darkness... |
| 00:22:56 |
...let your presence lead the way... |
| 00:22:59 |
...to righteousness... |
| 00:23:02 |
...and goodness. |
| 00:23:14 |
Boys. |
| 00:23:16 |
God cares nothing for motorcycles. |
| 00:23:38 |
Henry. |
| 00:23:45 |
-You're gonna get us in trouble. |
| 00:23:50 |
My dad had one, only bigger. |
| 00:23:52 |
Bullshit, your dad died |
| 00:23:55 |
Get down. |
| 00:23:57 |
Somebody say |
| 00:24:00 |
We was just looking. |
| 00:24:04 |
That what you call it? |
| 00:24:06 |
We're here on holiday. |
| 00:24:08 |
My dad had a bike just like this. |
| 00:24:12 |
That so? |
| 00:24:13 |
l saw you on the Wall of Death. |
| 00:24:16 |
l saw you go through the fire |
| 00:24:19 |
You must be about |
| 00:24:27 |
-You boys like a thrill, do you? |
| 00:24:31 |
Who's first? |
| 00:24:36 |
l've been on a bike before. |
| 00:24:38 |
l'll go. |
| 00:25:25 |
Faster. Faster. |
| 00:25:46 |
Yes! |
| 00:26:41 |
At least someone's |
| 00:27:07 |
How you going? |
| 00:27:10 |
Good night. |
| 00:27:13 |
See you later. |
| 00:27:21 |
''How you going?'' |
| 00:27:22 |
You'll be up her |
| 00:27:27 |
Come on, give us a go. |
| 00:27:29 |
Why do we have to be stuck here? |
| 00:27:31 |
-That's easy. |
| 00:27:35 |
l'm not stuck. |
| 00:27:47 |
Go. |
| 00:27:49 |
Go. |
| 00:27:55 |
The least you can do |
| 00:27:58 |
Hip, hip, hurray! |
| 00:28:00 |
Boys. |
| 00:28:02 |
Thanks, Luce. |
| 00:28:03 |
-Yeah, thanks. |
| 00:28:04 |
That is the same sort of thing |
| 00:28:08 |
l was there in the church |
| 00:28:10 |
...come to the end of the sermon, |
| 00:28:13 |
''Therefore, many are cold |
| 00:28:17 |
And it was the middle of winter. |
| 00:28:21 |
You know, it's good |
| 00:28:23 |
-Give Tess some girl company. |
| 00:28:28 |
Still looking for work in Darwin. |
| 00:28:31 |
Five minutes to dinner. |
| 00:28:33 |
-Thanks, darling. |
| 00:28:37 |
Hey, he just swiped your beer. |
| 00:28:41 |
Let them have their fun. |
| 00:28:44 |
Wait for me. Wait. |
| 00:28:46 |
l don't expect it's a picnic |
| 00:28:49 |
For all you hear, |
| 00:28:52 |
They're well cared for. |
| 00:28:54 |
Yeah, l'll bet they are. |
| 00:28:57 |
l think l'll go and see |
| 00:29:01 |
Still, it's not the same |
| 00:29:04 |
lndeed, it isn't. |
| 00:29:06 |
l think Tess blames me |
| 00:29:10 |
Her country. |
| 00:29:12 |
We're supposed to be |
| 00:29:17 |
You know, maybe it's the accident |
| 00:29:20 |
Well, there's no substitute for family, |
| 00:29:24 |
You're not saying |
| 00:29:26 |
No. |
| 00:29:28 |
l'm not saying that. |
| 00:29:30 |
lt's just... |
| 00:29:33 |
...you get to a point, you know? |
| 00:29:35 |
You start to see things |
| 00:29:39 |
Sure never pictured |
| 00:29:45 |
The pity of it is, |
| 00:29:48 |
...just like those boys next door, |
| 00:29:53 |
And here you are, |
| 00:30:03 |
You got a point there, Father. |
| 00:30:05 |
We want a kid... |
| 00:30:08 |
...and they need parents. |
| 00:30:11 |
We could just line them up |
| 00:30:34 |
They get you? |
| 00:30:35 |
What happened? |
| 00:30:37 |
My glasses got knocked off. |
| 00:30:40 |
We saved you some. |
| 00:30:45 |
l'm going to bed. |
| 00:30:55 |
Come on, Spit. |
| 00:31:40 |
Dad. |
| 00:31:48 |
Thank you, Vernon. |
| 00:31:51 |
More tea? |
| 00:31:53 |
There you are. |
| 00:31:55 |
l want you all to take notice... |
| 00:31:58 |
...of how sharp young Vernon |
| 00:32:04 |
Good on you, son. |
| 00:32:16 |
You all right? |
| 00:32:24 |
lf it's all right, |
| 00:32:28 |
That'd be lovely, Vernon. |
| 00:32:31 |
O Lord, we beseech thee |
| 00:32:35 |
...and thank you for the food |
| 00:32:40 |
Amen. |
| 00:32:45 |
Got you. |
| 00:32:48 |
Hey, get back. |
| 00:32:50 |
No. Don't leave me here. No. |
| 00:32:53 |
-No fair. |
| 00:32:55 |
-l got you already. |
| 00:32:57 |
-You're it. |
| 00:33:00 |
lf you get me, |
| 00:33:05 |
Hey, you can't run around |
| 00:33:33 |
Where is my precious Misty? |
| 00:33:35 |
He's been adopted. |
| 00:33:38 |
He was always the best of the lot. |
| 00:34:17 |
You the one living in the cave? |
| 00:34:19 |
l don't live there. |
| 00:34:26 |
You can come up if you want. |
| 00:34:35 |
You one of them orphan kids? |
| 00:34:37 |
Yeah. |
| 00:34:40 |
-What's your name? |
| 00:34:43 |
So, what are you observing? |
| 00:34:46 |
You had a good look at these rocks? |
| 00:34:48 |
l've seen them. |
| 00:34:50 |
Haven't you noticed |
| 00:34:53 |
They are weird-looking. |
| 00:34:57 |
They were left here by aliens. |
| 00:35:00 |
Same as Stonehenge. |
| 00:35:04 |
Kind of. |
| 00:35:05 |
Well, it's the same. |
| 00:35:07 |
When they come back, |
| 00:35:11 |
People from outer space? |
| 00:35:12 |
Of course. |
| 00:35:26 |
l don't guess you see |
| 00:35:28 |
Nuns, mostly. Nuns. |
| 00:35:33 |
Yeah, l've seen some of those. |
| 00:35:37 |
Want some? lt's my last one. |
| 00:36:16 |
By the way... |
| 00:36:18 |
...my name is Lucy. |
| 00:36:21 |
Good to meet you. |
| 00:36:33 |
-Hey, look, what's that? |
| 00:36:36 |
Come on, Spit. |
| 00:36:38 |
-Hey, wait up. |
| 00:36:40 |
Dirty trickster. |
| 00:36:49 |
Look at all this. |
| 00:36:56 |
Oh, check out the net. |
| 00:36:59 |
And this is a spear. |
| 00:37:08 |
What the hell |
| 00:37:17 |
We was just looking around. |
| 00:37:21 |
Seeing as you can see so well, |
| 00:37:27 |
That's a heavy line you got there. |
| 00:37:31 |
When it rains, Spark's the best |
| 00:37:36 |
You see a creek around here, boy-o? |
| 00:37:38 |
He's worried l'll catch Henry |
| 00:37:44 |
What do you know about Henry? |
| 00:37:47 |
A fish is a fish. |
| 00:37:51 |
Henry's a king of fishes. |
| 00:37:55 |
He was swimming in these waters |
| 00:37:59 |
He's bigger and smarter |
| 00:38:03 |
Get lost. |
| 00:38:14 |
Can't l make a suggestion |
| 00:38:18 |
lt's not a suggestion. |
| 00:38:21 |
For chrissake, Tess. |
| 00:38:24 |
All right? l'm not saying |
| 00:38:27 |
All l'm saying |
| 00:38:29 |
...adopting one of those kids |
| 00:38:36 |
l talked to someone |
| 00:38:39 |
lt's possible. |
| 00:38:41 |
That's all l'm saying. |
| 00:38:45 |
So you've decided. |
| 00:38:49 |
No. |
| 00:38:52 |
Tess-- No-- |
| 00:38:55 |
Tess, you're not listening to me. |
| 00:38:56 |
No. lt's your fault |
| 00:39:13 |
Whoa, look at that. |
| 00:39:16 |
-Come on, put some more on. |
| 00:39:19 |
She's getting naked. |
| 00:39:23 |
No. Guys, wait. |
| 00:40:22 |
Quick, run. |
| 00:40:31 |
l'll yell. |
| 00:40:34 |
Misty, l know there's gotta be |
| 00:40:37 |
...so why don't you come out |
| 00:40:40 |
l promise nothing |
| 00:40:44 |
No. |
| 00:40:47 |
Just remember, |
| 00:40:49 |
...and soon we'll all be back |
| 00:40:52 |
That's what you think. |
| 00:42:28 |
Boys... |
| 00:42:30 |
...l have great news. |
| 00:42:34 |
Father Scully |
| 00:42:37 |
Clean slate. |
| 00:42:41 |
-Great. |
| 00:42:43 |
-Ripper. |
| 00:42:49 |
Next. |
| 00:42:52 |
Vernon. |
| 00:43:02 |
What's troubling you, son? |
| 00:43:03 |
Bless me, Father, for l have sinned. |
| 00:43:06 |
How long is it |
| 00:43:08 |
About three weeks. |
| 00:43:12 |
l've had some unclean thoughts. |
| 00:43:15 |
And l pulled a face |
| 00:43:19 |
ls that all? |
| 00:43:20 |
Not exactly. |
| 00:43:24 |
Oh, come on, lad. |
| 00:43:30 |
Let's say there was something |
| 00:43:34 |
You know, something you wanted |
| 00:43:40 |
And you had an advantage... |
| 00:43:43 |
...because the others don't know. |
| 00:43:46 |
What is the point in giving it up? |
| 00:43:49 |
l mean.... |
| 00:43:52 |
Look, l can't guess, son. |
| 00:43:56 |
lt'll ease your mind |
| 00:44:01 |
l heard something. |
| 00:44:03 |
Can you tell what he's saying? |
| 00:44:06 |
Something about... |
| 00:44:09 |
...big breasts. |
| 00:44:12 |
What? |
| 00:44:14 |
lf you keep this knowledge to yourself, |
| 00:44:19 |
l think you should tell them. |
| 00:44:22 |
The burdens and the joys of this world |
| 00:44:27 |
Do you understand me? |
| 00:44:29 |
l've got to share. |
| 00:44:31 |
That's right. |
| 00:44:33 |
Now, for your penance, |
| 00:44:36 |
Something else happened last night. |
| 00:44:38 |
Save it till next time. l'm cooked. |
| 00:44:45 |
Oh, Hail Mary. |
| 00:45:02 |
lt's time to come clean. |
| 00:45:05 |
Get off me. |
| 00:45:07 |
Tell us or we'll slag you. |
| 00:45:11 |
Now then, |
| 00:45:13 |
...coming out of Spit's mouth |
| 00:45:23 |
l'll tell you. |
| 00:45:26 |
Fearless and Teresa |
| 00:45:31 |
l swear. |
| 00:45:33 |
Let him up. |
| 00:45:39 |
-l swear. |
| 00:45:41 |
l don't know. |
| 00:45:43 |
Before we leave. They're gonna choose |
| 00:45:47 |
Why would they want us? |
| 00:45:49 |
Speak for yourself. |
| 00:45:51 |
We're not as old as you are. |
| 00:45:59 |
Did they say who they want? |
| 00:46:05 |
You don't know which it is. |
| 00:46:15 |
-Where are the others? |
| 00:46:46 |
My real name's Vernon. |
| 00:46:51 |
You know, |
| 00:47:06 |
Vernon, do you remember |
| 00:47:10 |
l think l do... |
| 00:47:13 |
...but maybe it was a photo. |
| 00:47:18 |
My dad was tall and tan. |
| 00:47:22 |
And my mother |
| 00:47:27 |
She was smiling. |
| 00:47:31 |
They died in a car accident. |
| 00:47:34 |
l don't know why l wasn't there. |
| 00:47:41 |
lf my parents were still alive, |
| 00:47:51 |
What's he doing? |
| 00:47:53 |
That's Socrates. |
| 00:47:55 |
Shellback says he catches fish |
| 00:48:00 |
Have you seen him do it? |
| 00:48:01 |
No, but l believe |
| 00:48:07 |
Me too. |
| 00:48:28 |
You ever think about |
| 00:48:31 |
There's no place to run. |
| 00:48:33 |
When l get 1 8, |
| 00:48:44 |
Like music? |
| 00:48:54 |
So, what do you do |
| 00:49:00 |
When it floods, |
| 00:49:05 |
We have a footy team and a choir. |
| 00:49:10 |
Can you sing? |
| 00:49:12 |
Not really. |
| 00:49:14 |
Try singing this. |
| 00:49:16 |
l'm no good. |
| 00:49:22 |
Give it a go |
| 00:49:45 |
Listen. |
| 00:50:11 |
What'd you think? |
| 00:50:12 |
That was good. |
| 00:50:20 |
That was your first kiss, l bet. |
| 00:50:29 |
l can teach you if you want. |
| 00:50:44 |
Don't get me wrong. l'm not saying |
| 00:50:48 |
All l'm saying is that |
| 00:50:52 |
You're full of it. |
| 00:50:57 |
lt's all right to be jealous, Misty, |
| 00:51:01 |
Me and Fearless have something |
| 00:51:07 |
Hey, what was that for? |
| 00:51:10 |
Get back here. |
| 00:51:14 |
Get you later, you little mongrel. |
| 00:51:54 |
We've come to tell you, Vernon... |
| 00:51:56 |
...you're to be adopted. |
| 00:51:58 |
You can stay here |
| 00:52:01 |
And now for some |
| 00:52:24 |
He's not good for much, but at least |
| 00:52:36 |
Who do you think they'll choose? |
| 00:52:38 |
l don't know. |
| 00:52:41 |
Spit's clever. |
| 00:52:45 |
Misty's the youngest, |
| 00:52:48 |
And Spark's got good energy. |
| 00:52:53 |
What about you? Aren't you good |
| 00:52:57 |
Well, l don't wanna be adopted. |
| 00:53:00 |
What's the big deal |
| 00:54:20 |
Where have you been? |
| 00:54:24 |
l think Skipper's dead. |
| 00:54:27 |
What do you mean dead? |
| 00:54:29 |
Well, lads... |
| 00:54:35 |
...the skipper's... |
| 00:54:38 |
...a bit under the weather tonight... |
| 00:54:41 |
...so l suppose it'll be |
| 00:54:45 |
Anyway, as the next |
| 00:54:51 |
...she has asked me to carry on. |
| 00:54:55 |
l think it's appropriate... |
| 00:55:00 |
...and not out of place... |
| 00:55:04 |
...to give you your Christmas gifts |
| 00:55:09 |
-Any objections? |
| 00:55:12 |
Right, good show. |
| 00:55:16 |
-Merry Christmas. |
| 00:55:19 |
-Merry Christmas. |
| 00:55:22 |
-Merry Christmas. |
| 00:55:26 |
-And merry Christmas. |
| 00:55:36 |
What is it? |
| 00:55:38 |
Well, l don't suppose |
| 00:55:41 |
...but every ship has one. |
| 00:55:43 |
lt's called a gyroscope. |
| 00:55:51 |
Keeps your vessel balanced. |
| 00:56:06 |
lt's like the ship's conscience. |
| 00:56:22 |
l'll leave the bread and jam |
| 00:56:26 |
Thanks. |
| 00:56:30 |
lf Misty's right, |
| 00:56:35 |
-Misty's always making stuff up. |
| 00:56:39 |
-l'm not going in their bedroom. |
| 00:56:42 |
Then Misty and me will go. |
| 00:56:45 |
When Bandy goes out, we'll go in. |
| 00:56:57 |
Remember, we don't know anything. |
| 00:57:01 |
...look cheerful. |
| 00:57:05 |
What happened to Misty? |
| 00:57:06 |
He's shining his glasses. |
| 00:57:14 |
Hey. Merry Christmas, boys. |
| 00:57:26 |
-Where's Misty? |
| 00:57:28 |
-He's always late. |
| 00:57:35 |
Here he is. |
| 00:57:37 |
-What do you got there, mate? |
| 00:57:41 |
Thanks, buddy. |
| 00:57:46 |
All right. |
| 00:57:48 |
Now that you're all here, |
| 00:57:56 |
Now, we weren't real sure about the |
| 00:58:02 |
-Misty. |
| 00:58:04 |
-Merry Christmas. |
| 00:58:06 |
-Merry Christmas. |
| 00:58:10 |
Merry Christmas, boys. |
| 00:58:13 |
Well, go on, open them up. |
| 00:58:23 |
-Thanks. |
| 00:58:27 |
Where's Bandy and Skipper? |
| 00:58:31 |
Well, Mrs. McAnsh is a bit sick, |
| 00:58:36 |
Okay. |
| 00:58:39 |
-All right, that's French for ''let's eat.'' |
| 00:59:22 |
Skipper? |
| 00:59:24 |
Skipper? |
| 00:59:35 |
Skipper? |
| 01:00:05 |
She wasn't such a bad old stick. |
| 01:00:09 |
She looks like a car without a driver. |
| 01:00:20 |
l saw Bandy giving her pills, |
| 01:00:27 |
l hope she didn't suffer. |
| 01:00:32 |
Well, she's probably up there, |
| 01:00:36 |
...looking down on us, thinking: |
| 01:00:39 |
''What's those silly buggers doing?'' |
| 01:00:46 |
Go on. Touch her. |
| 01:00:49 |
-l'm not touching her. |
| 01:00:52 |
Don't be a nancy. |
| 01:01:08 |
Pray with me. |
| 01:01:13 |
l'll look after her, doctor. |
| 01:01:16 |
l'll be back tomorrow evening. |
| 01:01:22 |
Father. |
| 01:01:34 |
Father... |
| 01:01:35 |
...tell the boys to come in. |
| 01:01:51 |
Sorry. We just wanted to-- |
| 01:01:54 |
Wanted to know |
| 01:01:59 |
Come closer. |
| 01:02:08 |
l'm sorry you have to see me like this. |
| 01:02:13 |
lt was selfish of me |
| 01:02:17 |
...but l thought it'd be nice to have |
| 01:02:21 |
And l was right. |
| 01:02:24 |
lt's just... |
| 01:02:26 |
...my disease won't cooperate. |
| 01:02:32 |
What's wrong with you? |
| 01:02:34 |
l got cancer. |
| 01:02:40 |
Will we have to go back now? |
| 01:02:45 |
l was hoping you'd stay. |
| 01:02:50 |
Bandy's taking it hard... |
| 01:02:53 |
...and l know you boys |
| 01:03:42 |
Well, it's the calling. |
| 01:03:45 |
They say no matter how hard |
| 01:03:48 |
...if God wants you, he'll get you. |
| 01:03:53 |
But what if you just didn't do it? |
| 01:03:56 |
-l mean, you could refuse. |
| 01:04:00 |
You can't not do it. |
| 01:04:03 |
l had a teacher once |
| 01:04:07 |
She tried to fight it. |
| 01:04:09 |
She traveled through Europe... |
| 01:04:11 |
...drinking, having sex |
| 01:04:14 |
But she knew she couldn't be happy |
| 01:04:21 |
Do you think you'll get called? |
| 01:04:23 |
l sure hope not. |
| 01:04:27 |
But it's like you're metal... |
| 01:04:29 |
...and God's the biggest, |
| 01:04:40 |
So do you think you'll be a priest? |
| 01:04:42 |
Hell, no. |
| 01:04:46 |
l go to a Catholic school, |
| 01:04:50 |
They teach you other stuff. |
| 01:04:54 |
Father Maps. |
| 01:04:58 |
l've been a very bad girl. |
| 01:05:04 |
Why have you been a bad girl, |
| 01:05:10 |
Well, Father, |
| 01:05:18 |
You have? |
| 01:05:22 |
l like him. |
| 01:05:29 |
l let him touch me. |
| 01:05:40 |
Everywhere. |
| 01:06:02 |
Kiss me on the neck. l like that. |
| 01:06:11 |
Come closer. |
| 01:06:15 |
Pull down your pants. |
| 01:06:49 |
Hey! Hey! |
| 01:06:52 |
Get out of my boat! |
| 01:06:54 |
Nobody gave you permission! |
| 01:07:54 |
Serves you right. |
| 01:08:46 |
l want you to always remember me |
| 01:08:51 |
No worries. |
| 01:09:03 |
Where? |
| 01:09:05 |
Where? |
| 01:09:07 |
l can't see anything. |
| 01:09:10 |
l told you. You're seeing things. |
| 01:09:18 |
Hey, Maps, |
| 01:09:30 |
What's on your neck? |
| 01:09:37 |
What did you do? |
| 01:09:41 |
Maybe you'll figure it out |
| 01:10:10 |
Let me go. Come on, get off. |
| 01:10:30 |
Henry. |
| 01:10:35 |
l caught Henry! |
| 01:10:40 |
Yes, l caught him! |
| 01:10:43 |
Yes! l'm the best fisherman |
| 01:10:47 |
Oh, yes! |
| 01:10:51 |
Yes! |
| 01:10:53 |
Told you l'd catch him! |
| 01:11:19 |
You could have him if you want. |
| 01:11:22 |
You could stuff him |
| 01:11:36 |
Get a spade... |
| 01:11:38 |
...and give him a proper burial. |
| 01:12:56 |
Mr. Watson? |
| 01:12:58 |
What's the picture like? |
| 01:13:01 |
l'm up top. |
| 01:13:04 |
Should be something Christmassy. |
| 01:13:08 |
ls Lucy here? |
| 01:13:14 |
Lucy? No. |
| 01:13:20 |
When is she getting back? |
| 01:13:23 |
Maybe next summer. |
| 01:13:53 |
l'll give you some to take for Bandy. |
| 01:13:57 |
l don't mean to be rude... |
| 01:14:00 |
...but this is the best meal l've had |
| 01:14:06 |
lt's the best meal l've ever had. |
| 01:14:12 |
This is the best meal... |
| 01:14:15 |
...l'll ever have. |
| 01:14:31 |
Aren't you hungry, Maps? |
| 01:14:37 |
You know, l've never been |
| 01:14:41 |
You can't fish unless it floods. |
| 01:14:44 |
lt's boring. |
| 01:14:46 |
lt's a hundred times better here. |
| 01:14:51 |
How about you, Maps? |
| 01:14:54 |
Are you homesick? |
| 01:14:56 |
l like the outback all right. |
| 01:14:59 |
You can count on things out there. |
| 01:15:05 |
l guess it's what you're used to. |
| 01:15:11 |
You well and truly |
| 01:15:13 |
You might as well have said |
| 01:15:16 |
You think getting adopted |
| 01:15:19 |
You don't get it. Everyone leaves. |
| 01:15:28 |
Up to this time, Maps thought |
| 01:15:35 |
Now he realized he was hanging |
| 01:15:46 |
I never fully understood why Maps |
| 01:15:51 |
...and I never asked. |
| 01:16:09 |
--tickets for the Wall of Death. |
| 01:16:11 |
Get your tickets |
| 01:16:18 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |

Son, he's just over there. |
| 01:17:37 |
Go on. Get a move on. |
| 01:17:54 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:17:57 |
Maps. Hey-- |
| 01:17:59 |
You're shit. |
| 01:18:01 |
-Maps-- |
| 01:18:02 |
You're a liar like all the rest. |
| 01:18:05 |
You made out you're some |
| 01:18:08 |
You're worse than nothing. |
| 01:18:09 |
lt's a job, man. |
| 01:18:12 |
Stop lying. Like you could ever |
| 01:18:17 |
Like you've got the right |
| 01:18:20 |
You're a nobody. |
| 01:18:23 |
-Maps-- |
| 01:18:27 |
Maps. |
| 01:18:29 |
Do you want a lift home? |
| 01:18:31 |
Clive! |
| 01:18:34 |
Get your ass back here now. |
| 01:18:58 |
Where have you been? |
| 01:19:03 |
-Where's the others? |
| 01:19:07 |
We've been worried about you. |
| 01:19:10 |
You must let us know |
| 01:19:16 |
Son? |
| 01:19:58 |
What are you doing? |
| 01:20:04 |
Get your things. Now. |
| 01:20:06 |
We're leaving. Come on! |
| 01:20:09 |
-Get your stuff. |
| 01:20:11 |
Home. lt's all been a lie. |
| 01:20:18 |
-Just shut up and get your stuff! |
| 01:20:27 |
Misty, get off! |
| 01:20:39 |
l'm trying to look after you! |
| 01:21:14 |
Nice spot you got here. |
| 01:21:23 |
Shit. |
| 01:21:25 |
The little bloke do that? |
| 01:21:28 |
You guys fight worse than brothers. |
| 01:21:31 |
We are brothers. |
| 01:21:35 |
Leave me alone. l'll be all right. |
| 01:21:39 |
Yeah, l don't doubt that. |
| 01:21:42 |
What about the others? |
| 01:21:44 |
You just gonna abandon them |
| 01:21:47 |
You don't know anything about it. |
| 01:21:54 |
Well, at least there's something |
| 01:21:58 |
You're wrong what you said to me. |
| 01:22:02 |
Teresa and me |
| 01:22:04 |
And we would've had a load of kids |
| 01:22:08 |
l crashed the bike |
| 01:22:13 |
We used to be a team in the shows. |
| 01:22:18 |
She spent half a year in hospital. |
| 01:22:24 |
And l tried to keep it going |
| 01:22:32 |
Does Teresa know? |
| 01:22:36 |
Tess always knows. |
| 01:23:48 |
Help! |
| 01:23:54 |
Help me! |
| 01:23:57 |
Maps! |
| 01:24:00 |
Maps! |
| 01:24:03 |
Help! Help! Anyone, help! |
| 01:24:14 |
Maps! Help, it's Misty! |
| 01:24:20 |
Hang on, Misty! |
| 01:24:23 |
-What happened? |
| 01:24:25 |
-He fell off the rocks. |
| 01:24:31 |
You can't swim! |
| 01:25:04 |
Look at us. We're swimming. |
| 01:25:06 |
l'm drowning. |
| 01:25:10 |
Hang onto me, catch your breath. |
| 01:26:39 |
Shellback! |
| 01:26:56 |
Really, we tried to save you. |
| 01:26:59 |
l was trying to save you, l swear. |
| 01:27:01 |
l came into the water. |
| 01:27:03 |
l went to the McAnsh's, and-- |
| 01:27:06 |
How you feeling, boys? |
| 01:27:08 |
l'm better than l was. |
| 01:27:11 |
l gotta say, mate... |
| 01:27:12 |
...you're braver than me, going out |
| 01:27:16 |
Well done. |
| 01:27:18 |
l was just a couple of feet |
| 01:27:21 |
You were 75 yards out |

| 01:36:54 |
...realer than real... |
| 01:36:56 |
...with each of us remembering it |
| 01:37:12 |
Coming back for the first time |

Believe it or not, |

I got his letter just a few days |
| 01:37:45 |
He told me how often |
| 01:37:50 |
...and how happy he was |
| 01:37:55 |
Maps wrote me before he went |
| 01:38:01 |
And here we are... |
| 01:38:03 |
