Charlie's Country

Yeah.

Yeah.

How are you, Pops?

Yeah good!

Good morning.

You come from far away and bring us alcohol, ganja, tobacco, all bad!

G'day Luke.

G'day Charlie.

You white bastard.

You black bastard.

Have a good day.

Is that it?

I'm off then.

Pete!

Lot of rubbish in your truck.

Lot of rubbish in your head.

Charlie?

Don't just walk past.

- I don't need a big note. - No worries.

Forty-three forty cents.

But I've only got $20!

- Here you go. - Need some more?

I'm okay now.

Hey, hey, hey, not so many!

- Another one. - No.

Leave some for me!

Hey old man, bring me back a cigarette!

This house...

...this is the sort of house I want.

If it's like this house, then it'll be okay.

Sit down, Charlie.

What do you want, Charlie?

I want a house.

- You've got a house. - Nah.

Too many people.

My family.

No room, see?

I want a house for me.

Government's already given you one good house.

You wanna walk away from that,

that's your problem.

But Errol, you got a wife, ey?

No.

You get a house.

While I'm here I've got a house.

Goes with the job.

You've got a job...

...and you got a house...

...on my land.

Where's my house?

Where's my job?

Anything else you want, Charlie?

Nah.

You coming hunting?

There's a buffalo around, up the road a bit.

You not working?

Truck broke down,

waiting on a new one from Darwin.

Got the starter?

In the back.

Make way.

Let's get going.

Away you go.

Done.

Where are we going?

Where I saw some tracks.

You ready?

Good to go.

Look, there, there, there!

- Got him! - Beautiful shooting!

- Right in the heart! - Straight through the heart!

One shot and he went down.

- Watch out! - He's come alive!

Run! Run!

Turn! Turn! Shoot! Shoot!

Got him this time!

Shot him properly!

This time we both got him!

My legs are aching...

...and I'm hungry for meat.

We should have shot...

...a small one.

This one is wrecking my car.

No this is a good one, plenty of meat.

There's a car parked there!

Where?

In the trees.

It's a policeman!

A policeman's parked there!

Sit down, sit down!

Don't panic, sit down slowly.

Sit down very slowly.

I better sit down slowly too.

We're searching every car for grog, Charlie.

No alcohol comin' in here anymore.

What's in there?

Petrol, keep the car going.

You got cigarette?

Get out of the car.

Who owns this?

Me, that's mine.

And the other one was mine.

Did y'all purchase permits for 'em?

You got a license?

License? We're not gonna drive them...

...we're just gonna shoot 'em.

Smart-ass.

They've got my car...

...bugger shit.

And your rifle and my gun.

And all that tender meat.

That'll soon stink up the whole police station!

And then the maggots will be crawling through it in no time!

Pst!

Pst! Pst!

Charlie!

It's Gaz.

Charlie! It's Gaz.

Are you awake?

It's Gaz.

What do you want?

We need to camp somewhere out of the way.

I know you.

You got anywhere?

You got any ganja?

Yeah, yeah, later.

We need the camp first.

Sure, why not?

Now, Charlie...

...this is primo shit.

The best of the best.

Gonna make you really happy.

Okay?

Stop here, stop, stop.

What now?

See that tree there?

Yeah.

That's where you're gonna go.

And this road'll take you right up there.

Watch out for crocodile, too.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Oh, great.

- And? - Yeah, I'm comin'.

Wait now...

...how much for them?

Fifty, like always.

- Fifty? - Yeah.

Anything to eat?

I can't eat this.

I have no money left...

...or food.

I'm hungry.

There's lots of food in the bush.

It's like a supermarket out there.

Why don't you answer your phone?

Got no recharge left.

We need you to teach the kids...

...how to dance...

...properly.

The kids go to school now.

They don't care anymore.

We need to teach them...

...the traditional ways.

Get Bobby to teach them.

He can do it.

He knows how to lead them.

Shit.

Oh shit.

Charlie.

Hey Charlie.

Charlie, how are you?

Um, some white guys in town,

we think they might be trouble.

Selling the ol' ganja.

Heard you might be able to track 'em for us.

Come on.

I'll owe you one.

Now, I don't really like this postin' too much.

I mean, the people are nice like good ol' Charlie here, it's just...

...it's isolated, it's remote. Don't know.

I'm one for the big city, you know PC?

- Yup. - I like the high life.

Stop, stop, stop.

Stop, stop.

Get out.

That drive there means stop.

And here, came back here,

and then he went this way.

Yesterday 10 o'clock.

Damn, you black fellas are smart when you wanna be.

Jesus.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, come here.

Shh, down, down, down, down, down, down.

Come, come.

Right there. It's...

...it's two cars with a tent.

They're camping.

- Okay? - Okay.
