The Water Diviner

Allahu Ekber!

Allahu Ekber!

Allahu Ekber!

I think we're close, mate.

I think we're very close.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Told you there was water there, didn't I?

Told you. (Laughs)

Lizzie?

Everything alright?

Arthur's worn through

the toe of his boot again.

What does he do?

The boys are all in bed.

They're waiting for you to read to them.

- I'm bone-tired, Lizzie. - Oh, come on.

You know this is their favourite time of the day.

'Prince Hussain called to the man

and asked him why the carpet he wished to sell

was so expensive,

saying, "It must be made of something

quite extraordinary."

The Merchant replied,

"My Prince, your amazement will be

all the greater when I tell you that it is enchanted.

Whoever sits on this carpet, closes his eyes

and says the magic word 'Tangu'

may be transported through the air in an instant.

Wherever his heart desires to be."'

I hit water at 15 feet.

Bit brackish but good pressure.

With water we'll be able to

put stock in that valley block.

They didn't even wipe the mud off it.

It's been four years, Liz.

You're so clever.

You can find water

but you can't even find your own children.

Why can't you find them?

You lost them!

Come on, Art!

You won't win any medals up there, mate!

Yeah, it's two hours back to Rainbow,

we've got to get a wriggle on!

- You got that? - Yeah.

I reckon I got it by now, Dad.

Arthur...

Look after me brothers and keep me bloody head down.

I know.

Love you, Dad - See you, Dad!

Lizzie?

Lizzie!

Lizzie?!

Lizzie!

Lizzie!

You understand, in all conscience,

I could not bury your wife in consecrated ground

if I thought she had taken her own life.

Consecrated ground is his promise to the faithful.

She fell in and drowned, so your conscience is clear.

Three sons killed.

That was quite an ordeal for Eliza.

As the book of Job teaches us,

God sets these trials for a reason.

Many families in the district have made similar sacrifices

for king and country.

You know, you have a gall coming in here,

making demands.

You haven't stepped inside this place for four years,

you haven't been to confession,

you're all but lost to God.

Yes.

And you and God can feed me to the pigs for all I care.

But you knew this woman.

She was here every Sunday.

I've dug the grave, I made the coffin,

all I'm asking you to do is say some words

and throw some dirt.

That cart of yours...

would make a useful benefaction for our community.

An offering to God.

Well, He might as well take that too.

I'll find them, love.

I'll find them and I'll bring them home to you.

Nearly there.

Thank you.

Not now. Later. Thank you.

Major Hasan Bey to see Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes

- at the War Graves. - We know who he is, mate.

Righto.

Four years ago they'd have given me a VC

for shooting that bastard.

Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes,

may I present Major Hasan Bey.

Major Bey was commander of...

Just Major Hasan.

- Bey just means Mister. - Yes. Indeed.

Mr Bey gave you boys hell at Lonesome Pine, Sir.

We all know who Major Hasan is, Lieutenant. Thank you.

Merhaba. Hosh geldieniz.

Hosh Bulduek. Turkce biliormusunuz?

Ah...

English?

I see you have finally taken the Peninsula.

Yes.

Lost the battle, won the war.

Well, Sergeant Tucker here

will show you to your accommodations.

Perhaps once you've refreshed we could meet in my tent?

- Thank you. - Right this way.

While I'm here, I thought I'd make myself useful.

If you have any horses that need any work,

I might go for a little ride.

Preferably something with a bit of pep.

Ah, Sergeant Tucker, acquaint Lieutenant Greeves

with Widowmaker.

She could use a workout.

With pleasure, Sir.

Now, we've already started work in this area,

in the Nek down to Hill 971.

I assume they briefed you fully at the war office.

We would appreciate your help locating our dead.

Your dead?

Lost over 10,000 ANZACS here on Gallipoli

and still don't know where half of them are.

Some were buried properly

but a lot of the graves have been lost, overgrown

or washed away, or their crosses were pilfered

for firewood after we evacuated.

Retreated.

You were here?

First Light Horse.

What do you need of me?

Well, the land has changed,

but you know the area better than anyone.

I was hoping you could help us

locate the companies we lost track of.

We can start in the morning.

We lost 70,000 men.

Here.

At Çanakkale.

For me, this place is one big grave.

I don't know what you chaps were belly-aching about.

This is a veritable Garden of Eden.

If your troops had taken this hill on the first day,

we would have been finished.

How close did we get?

There.

There you go, Sir. Your Garden of Eden.

Joshua? Where are the boys?

Ed, Henry, let's go home.

Run!

Come on, Ed!

Boys?

Boys?!

Art! Ahhh!

Ed!

Get down!

It's alright, boys. It's alright.

Good on you, Art, for not leaving your brothers behind.

Hey, Ed, what's the magic word?

The one that makes the carpet fly?

- Tonga? - Tangu, you wombat.

That's it - Tangu.

Come on, cuddle up. Get tight, close your eyes.

Ed's peeping, Dad.

Ed, close your eyes.

It only works if your eyes are closed.

Alright, boys, let's get out of here. All together.

Tangu!

Bugger off, the pair of you.

Go away. No.

- No? - No.

Anything you want my mama can make.

Hot water, no Germans.

No. Clear off.

Beautiful hotel.

Best room.

I'm going to Gallipoli.

- How do I get to Gallipoli? - Huh?

I want to go to Gallipoli.

- Mister? Mister? - Gallipoli.

Come to our hotel.

Beautiful hotel. Beautiful view.

Anything you want, my Anne can make.

Maybe you can help me. I'm going to Gallipoli.

No, you're not.
