The Flood

Marlee, come on. Get in the cart.

- I left the damn skillet. - It doesn't matter. Leave it.

You won't be saying that at breakfast.

- Water's rising too fast. - I know where it is.

- I'll be quick. - No!

Dad, the water.

It's alright, darling.

Your mother knows what she's doing. She won't be long.

Jarah, stay here. I'm going for your ma.

Jarah, do as I tell you. Stay here.

I won't be long, OK?

I love you.

Ah!

Father Patrick says kissing is the devil's work.

- It is. - Until you're 21.

I'll never be that old.

Not if you stay cheeky.

Let us begin.

Paddy.

We'd like to have a word with your, uh... flock.

We're about to begin our service, Mr Wilson.

Mayor. It's Mayor Wilson.

Sister.

Government's decided you're to become wards of the state.

Means government decides what's best for you.

These are grown people. They can care for themselves.

Powers that be disagree.

These mission lands are to be reclaimed.

You can't do that.

Already done.

You and your children

will be reassigned to properties

where help is needed.

Postings are all nearby.

My wife needs a seamstress.

We just live around the corner.

This is...

I'm gonna alert the church superiors about this.

I am your superior.

You will bend the knee, my son.

Sister, if you could assemble the children.

- Of course. - No!

They go soft or hard, either way.

You decide.

Good girl.

Now, don't worry, little chickens.

We're going to have a lovely picnic.

There'll be swimming and tea and cakes.

Alright. You go with them, alright?

And you do what they say. Your dad and I will come find you.

Alright? Now, listen to me.

You be good. No cheeky.

Be quiet, invisible.

Alright? You do what they say and they won't hurt you.

Your dad and I will come find you, I promise.

I promise.

I promise we'll come find you.

We'll come find you.

We'll come find you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Good boy. Yeah, thanks, mate.

Shirt could use a wash.

Pile's over there.

You do it.

Well, come on. Not gonna bite.

I'm only joking!

Well, keep going.

Haven't you got work to do?

Go on.

Now take it off.

Hello, darlin'. Hey, you wanna see something?

Yeah, come on. Before the fox finds it.

- I need her. - Yeah, you'll manage.

Take me. I'd like to see.

Yeah, I know you would.

But this is just for my special girl.

Come on, you'll like it. Promise.

Paddy's coming home.

Go wash up and clean out the storeroom.

Yes, Da.

Grumpy old Da!

Haven't you learnt your lesson?

You have to let her go.

Where is she?

That's no longer your concern.

Where is my daughter?

I'd hate to see you being punished by Jackson again.

She's with people who love her, being properly cared for.

What's that?

Where'd it come from?

It's mine.

Sure is pretty. Just like you.

Real pretty.

Think I might get a bit more dirty before I clean up.

Go see if Pam needs help with dinner.

- Said she needs yours. - Binda...

You tell the boys I'll be there in 10.

Tell Pam she'll be a while after.

Go on.

And Binda...

..I love you.

Uh! And?

I love you too.

Good girl.

Oh!

Getting a bit big for her britches, that one.

Oh, little church mouse.

Hey, mousie mousie?

Good thing I don't come here for conversation.

You wanna me, Wanna?

Hmm?

You want me?

Tell me you want me.

Tell me.

I want you.

Lie down, sweetheart.

Look at me.

Tell me you want me.

Tell me you love me.

I love you.

Contact!

Take cover!

Hey, Waru.

What time is it?

Ah. Beer o'clock, brother.

She's right. It's the RSL.

I owe you a beer.

Our country owes us a bloody beer.

Come on, mate. You're with me.

Hey, look what the cat dragged in!

- Welcome home. - It's good to be home, Mrs B.

- Jim. - Minto!

Very proud of what you've done, son.

Thank you, sir.

How about a pint for a couple of returning warriors?

Members only.

Well, sign us up.

You're alright.

Taught you better than this, Waru.

Can't teach 'em, Da.

Monkey brains.

I fought for you mob.

This is not your place.

I reckon I've lost my thirst.

You stay, brother.

They're your people.

Where's Jarah and Binda?

They took 'em.

Government took everyone.

All these bloody lies!

I'm taking back what's mine, brother.

- Morning, ladies. - Paddy.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Knorre...

Knorre!

Quick! Go, go!

- Binda! - Dad!

- We gotta go, bub. - Kelly!

- Kelly! - Come on!

Step away from my girl.

- He's my dad. - I'm your dad now!

She loves me.

Doesn't even know who you are.

Binda, go see Pam.

Binda, I said go see Pam.

Lights out, goggles.

Ahh!

Come on!

Kelly!

Help me.

Come on, help me!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow...

Ahh!

Call the constable.

And send for your brother.

Where is he?

He killed my son.

Let the woman alone to eat.

No more sacrament for you.

Neale!

He's no hero. Killed those men. I saw it.

If your child was stolen...

..and sent to hell...

..what would you do?

Sometimes,

life is the hell.

Eat.

Bad things are coming.

Da.

Come on, boys. Let's get a drink, eh?

Where do you reckon they're headed?
