♫ What happened to ♫

♫ The world we knew ♫

♫ When we would dream and scheme
and while the time away? ♫

CHARMIAN: I was dreaming
about you last night.

You´d just been born, and when
Dad saw you, he started to cry.

Was he sad?

No, he was crying
because he was happy.

People can cry
when they´re happy too.

You look so much like him now.

-What are you doing?
-I´m writing a poem for school.

Can I see it? You´re taking
a lot of trouble with it.

NICKY:
Not till I´ve finished.

[ Laughs ]

Wonder when those lazy brothers
of yours are going to get up.

Dad said in his last letter
he´s found some work.

Do you think you´d like to live
in South America?

He says the people
are very friendly there.

Or would it be too hard to leave
all your school friends?

I want to live where Dad is.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Hey, hello, my friend.

-Hello, Mr. Mike.
-Anything for me?

We have a money order
from Australia.

And this morning a letter
arrived to my house.

Adaulto, you don´t know
how happy you´ve made me.

I can eat tonight
and read about my children.

God bless you.

VAL:
So what does he say?

CHARMIAN: He says the work comes
in fits and starts.

Because he has no permit,
he can only take on casual jobs.

"If it wasn´t for the money
you send me,

I think I´d be
out on the streets."

[ Sighs ] I hate to think of him
out there all on his own.

In his last letter, he said he
was sure

he could use your passport
to reenter Australia.

-Bit too soon, isn´t it?
-I wrote and told him that.

I said
maybe this time next year.

I just don´t know if it can wait
that long.

The boys miss him so much.

Nicky, especially.

And the worst thing is,
he´s better off without us.

We´re his greatest danger.

MIKE: Haynes children,
out with the bags.

All right, boy?

I´m taking you on holiday
next time, eh?

Once we´ve saved up
for the motor.

Yes.

With the move,
we´re broke at the moment.

CHARMIAN: Don´t be silly.
It was nice to have the company.

-MIKE: See you soon.
-CHARMIAN: Bye.

Goodbye, you.
Thanks again.

-Bye, darling.
-Bye, darling.

Bye, car!

-In you get, Twiz.
-You´re going.

-TWIZ: Oh!
-NICKY: See you soon.

MIKE:
Here you are.

CHARMIAN: Bye.

See you soon.

Seat belt on, please, Nickpops.

[ Vehicle door closes,
engine starts ]

So who´s hungry?

-Me.
-Yeah?

Oh, God.

Okay, baby?

Val, get Twiz.

MIKE: Nicky?

Good boy.
It´s all gonna be okay.

MIKE: Nicky?

Who´s a brave boy?
Are you okay?

Are you all right?
Can you see?

Oh, God.
Good boy.

-Twiz, does it hurt anywhere?
-My back.

CHARMIAN: Okay.

The ambulance will be here soon,
okay?

What´s the matter with Nicky?

Nicky?

-MIKE: Nicky?
-Nicky? Nicky?

-MIKE: Nicky?
-You okay?

Oh, God!
Val!

Take the baby!

You be a brave boy and stay
with Auntie Val, okay?

-Mummy´s gonna look after Nicky.
-Nicky?

Nicky, can you hear me, love?

Come on, mate.
Come on, mate.

Are you calling an ambulance?!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Siren wails ]

I think his eye´s okay, Charm.

It´s just a nasty gash.

CHARMIAN: Oh, God, hold on,
my darling. Please hold on.

[ Tires screeching,
vehicles crashing ]

What´s going on?!

MIKE: Move the car!
Move!

We´ve got a sick boy here!

[ Siren wails ]

Charm?

Charm?

He´s dead, isn´t he?

He´s dead, isn´t he?

NURSE:
He was dead on arrival.

There was no hope
in resuscitating him.

I´m so sorry.

[ Wails ]

[ Sobbing ]

No!

[ Sighs ]

Read it to me please, Joan.

It´s the last thing he wrote.

"Lonely was Ned Kelly,
lonely am I.

In a crowd of other people,

lonely is a wife
without a husband,

lonely is a lost child
in the street,

lonely is a parent
without a child."

That´s beautiful, Charm.

It´s all in there.

We ruined his little life.

No, Charm,
you can´t think like that.

He missed his dad so much.

He loved his life.

He loved you.
He loved his brothers.

He -- He was a bright, happy
little boy.

I had such hopes for him.

I couldn´t go to university,

but I was determined
he´d go in my place.

He was so talented, Joan.

[ Crying ] And now he´s gone.

Oh, God, how am I gonna tell
his father that he´s gone?

[ Rooster crows ]

Yo yo?

A letter arrived at my house
this morning.

Mm.

I had a feeling
I´d hit the jackpot today.

[ Slow instrumental plays ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

RON: My darling wife,

my poor sweet love.

All the bitterness and anger
in the world

won´t bring our little Nick
back to us.

He was a happy chap, and he
gave us many happy memories.

Let us use them.

I don´t want to mourn anymore

because that belongs
to the dead.

I want to feel joy in my heart

whenever my thoughts turn
to the little boy

we called Handsome Harry,
Nickpops, and even Sherby Dab.

I don´t believe
he has gone anywhere.

I know he is part of me and
he´s with me with his trains

and his Lego
and his shining morning face.

Wherever I go,

I´ll always have him with me.

[ Sobs ]

[ Engine starts ]

I´ve been getting
a lot of letters from strangers.

JOAN:
I hope you´re not reading them.

Someone sent one the other day

saying they were glad
my son was dead,

that it was justice
for all the wicked things

my husband has done.

There´s even been vile letters
addressed to the boys.

Such ugliness in people´s souls.
Sometimes I despair.

I´m thinking of
going back to study.

Full-time?

You´ve got no mortgage,

and I suppose, financially,
you could just about handle it.

I need to be doing something
that stretches me.

Taking up a degree
as a single mother

would certainly stretch you.

Be careful it doesn´t break you.

What does Ron say about it?

That´s the worst bit.
I don´t know.

Are you still writing
to each other?

His letters have dried up.

I just don´t know
how he´s coping.

[ British accent ] Excuse me?
Hello! Jesus!

What have you got to do to get
a drink in this bloody joint?!

It´s a long time since I´ve
heard an accent like that.

Serviço, por favor.

Cachaça for my amigo.

Hi, I´m Constantine.
My friends call me Conti.

I´m --
Oh, no, what am I today?

Oh, yes.

Mike Haynes.
How do you do?

And the answer to your question
is "starting."

You´re wondering,
from the state of me,

if I´m starting or finishing
my evening.

Well, that suits me fine

because I´d like to get
absolutely legless tonight.

Spoken like a gentleman.

[ Clears throat ]
Here´s, um...

120 cruzeiros.

All my worldly goods.

Let´s see how far
that gets us.

MURIEL:
Dear Charmian,

Gillian and I
read of the terrible news

of the death of poor Nicky.

We have not stopped crying

and cannot imagine
what you must be going through.

It occurred to me that you
might need the enclosed

now that you have to
support the boys on your own.

All my love, Mum.

I´m sure you know
I have an unusual background.

I know who you are, Mrs. Biggs,

and I´m not interested
in any of that.

What I am interested in
is your ability as a student.

As you can see,

I have all the necessary
academic qualifications.

I was even offered a place
at Birmingham University,

which I was unable to take up.

Yes, but that was 13 years ago.

I assume you haven´t been
keeping up your studies

for the last 13 years.

No, I´ve been raising a family.

Eight GCE O levels,
two A levels --

English Literature
and French.

You are amply qualified.

But I question why you´d want
to put yourself through this --

a mature-age student
with young children to support.

Sir, I can´t promise
I will graduate.

But I can promise
I will give you my absolute all.

I recently lost my son.

He was only 10, but already
he was showing great promise.

And it was my dearest wish
that he should go to university

to study for the degree
that I missed out on.

Now that we´ve been granted
leave to stay in Australia,

I would like to do this.

For him.

-So now you´re not hungry?
-No.

Come on, Twiz.

If I don´t know what´s wrong,
how can I help you?

Come on, please tell me
what´s wrong, darling.

You can tell me anything.
You know that.

They said I´ll have to go
to prison when I grow up.

-Who did?
-Douglas and Gordon.

Those little shits.

They´ve been on your back
the whole time.

I´ve been down to that school
about them already.

They said
because Dad has been in prison,

when I grow up,
I´ll have to go to prison too.

Darling, look at me.
Listen.

You won´t have to go to prison.
You´ve done nothing wrong.

Dad´s coming home, isn´t he?

I hope so, Twiz.

When he does, I´ve got
all his tools ready for him.

[ Laughs ]

Well, that´s good.
He´ll like that.

You tell those boys
your dad is not a bad man.

He did what he did for us.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Who is it?

Hey, Charm, it´s me.

Craig.
Can I come in?

It´s so great to see you.
I haven´t seen you in ages.

No.

Congratulations on
getting into uni.

What are you studying?

At the moment, English,

early British, French,
and European history.

Wow.
That´s a lot on your plate.

That´s great.

It´s so good to see you.

It´s good to see you too.

I think about you
all the time.

How´s Lindy?

Um...

Things aren´t going so well
at the moment.

A lot of arguing.

She can be a very difficult
woman to live with.

Oh. [ Clears throat ]
That´s a shame.

So I wondered if, um,

maybe you fancied
coming out for a meal.

As families?

No, just -- just you and me.

Is that a good idea?

Well, I want you to know
that I´m...

I´m gonna ask Lindy
for a divorce.

Oh, you seemed
so happy together.

It´s a bit difficult

when there are three people
in a relationship.

Three? Who...

Come on, Craig.
You can´t say that to me.

You must know
how I feel about you.

-I´m married.
-Only in name.

Look, Ron isn´t here for you,
Charm, I am.

He hasn´t been
for a long time.

I´m flattered, Craig.
Honestly, I am.

But in spite of everything
that´s happened,

I´m still Ron´s wife.

-Saúde!
-Saúde!

[ Groans ]

Wa-hey-hey!
Whoo-hoo!

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Speaking Portuguese ]

-[ Men laugh ]
-What did she say?

She said if you want to
put your hand there, fine,

but if you leave it there,
it´s another matter.

What´s the form
with these girls, then?

They´re not whores, you know?
They´re good-time girls.

They like to be taken out
by a good-looking guy

and given a present,

You should take them shopping,

buy them some clothes
or something.

[ Both moaning ]

Jesus wept!

Fuck.

O´LEARY: "Who is the third
that always walks beside you?

When I count, there is
only you and I together.

But when I look ahead
up the white road,

there is always another one
walking beside you."

Eliot is referencing here

the account of an actual
Antarctic expedition

where the explorers,
in their exhaustion,

had the constant delusion that
there´s always one more of them

than could actually be counted.

Eliot originally considered
titling the poem...

-♫ What does it take ♫
-TWIZ: It might be this one.

♫ What does it take ♫

♫ To win your love for me? ♫

Charmian! Hey.

You said to bring the boys
if I couldn´t get a babysitter.

-Come in.
-[ Woman laughs ]

Uh, it´s okay.
I´ll see you at uni tomorrow.

Don´t be silly.
Come on.

The guys would love
to meet them. Come on.

-♫ Just got to know ♫
-♫ Got to know ♫

♫ Ooh, baby... ♫

So...

Who here can eat
the most chocolate cake?

Me, easy.
He´s only four.

But because he´s four,
he´s cuter.

-Aren´t you?
-Yes.

-[ Laughs ]
-All right, eat up.

♫ My papa said, "Son, don´t let
the man get you ♫

♫ Do what he done to me" ♫

Come on.
No hiding away.

I feel so old.

I´m actually not that old,
but I feel ancient tonight.

Don´t be daft.
You look great.

I think I must be
a terrible mother,

bringing them to a party.

Loud music and booze.
And other things.

[ Laughs ]

I just had to
get out of the house.

Things were starting to
close in on me a bit.

You know, I really admire you,
Charm.

Bet it´s not easy being you.

The boys help
concentrate my mind.

Studying hard so I can get
a good job at the end of this.

I need to support them.

It´s so shitty
they can´t see their dad.

Can´t you just sneak off
one weekend,

take them to see him?

I wish I could.

But I have no idea
where he is.

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Groaning ]

What?

-[ Pounding continues ]
-I´m coming.

-[ Pounding continues ]
-All right, all right.

All right, all right!

All right.
Hold your horses.

Raimunda?

I need to speak to you.

This is my new apartment.
How the hell did you find it?

How you get new apartment?

[ Sighs ]

Oh, you know,
I had some jobs come in.

I decided to take the plunge.

I may be
on my ass again next month.

No, don´t go in there,
Raimunda.

[ Shouting in Portuguese ]

[ Women arguing in Portuguese ]

Please.
Calm down.

-Calm down, okay?
-She must go!

This isn´t necessary.

Darling, don´t slam the door!

[ Exhales sharply ]

Shit.

Look, come on, Raimunda.

I told you
I don´t want a relationship.

Then why do you keep fucking me?

Well, that´s...
It...

[ Sighs ]
Because I´m weak.

-But I´m with Lucia now.
-No. She must go.

-Why?
-Because I´m pregnant.

I mean, she´s crazy.

How could
she possibly prove it´s mine?

I mean,
I told her I´d pay for her

to go and see the old nurse
and get rid of it,

but she just sits there
watching TV

and shouting at me
in Portuguese.

I can´t get her
out the apartment.

It´s a fucking nightmare.

[ Sighs ]

To tell you the truth, Conti,

I´ve had enough.

I´m sick
of bumming around here.

I miss my family.

Listen, I was thinking, mate,
um...

When you take your trip
back to London,

why don´t you try and put
some feelers out for me.

Yeah, see if you can´t find
a journalist

interested in coming out here
and doing my story.

Isn´t that a bit risky?

I just want to score one last
payday for Charm and the boys.

You know,
if it gets me rumbled, well...

All the other train robbers have
done deals on their sentences.

Bruce, Charlie, Buster.

At least
I´d have a clean conscience

knowing my family
were looked after.

-Is it ready yet?
-Go and wash your hands, please.

They´re clean.

Wash your hands
and go and get your brother.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Come here.
Are you all right?

LINDY: Don´t touch me!

-Stop it!
-CRAIG: Get in the car, Lindy.

Get in the car.

Get in the car!

Charm, I´m so sorry.

-She followed me here.
-That could have hit my son!

-You keep away from my husband!
-Lindy. Lindy!

I´m not doing anything
with your husband.

Is that what he´s told you?

Look, I will pay
for the window, okay?

What is wrong with you?
Why don´t you leave me alone!

-Then you stay away from him!
-Just shut up, for God´s sake!

I´m not doing anything
with him!

I don´t want your husband!
I just want my own!

CRAIG: Get in the car.
Get in the car.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Jet engine roars ]

Ron, this is Colin MacKenzie
from the Daily Express.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Biggs.

I have to say --
no offense, Constantine --

but at the back of my mind,

I couldn´t get rid of the idea
that this was some sort of hoax

and we´d never actually
get to see you.

Well, it´s me, all right.
And for 35 grand, I´m all yours.

[ Laughs ]

So, what do you want to
ask me?

Well, I suppose we should
go back to the beginning

and ask where it all began.

May I?

[ Click ]

Where it all began.

Well, I suppose you could say

it all began
with a girl on a train.

I was in love.

The only time
I´ve ever truly been in love.

It was for the price
of a deposit on my house.

That´s why I got involved.
Make sure you get that bit in.

And Sod´s Law, I won that amount
anyway on the horses

the week before the job.

[ Both chuckle ]

But I´d met the old man

when I did some renovation work
on his house.

And then Bruce said they needed
a train driver.

Unfortunately,
when the time came,

he couldn´t move it
down the track.

But he still got his money.

[ Chuckles ]

I couldn´t imagine
being locked up for 30 years.

Remember, there was no parole
back in those days.

Wandsworth was supposed to
be impregnable,

but in the end, the escape
was pretty straightforward.

In Melbourne.
That was the happiest time.

All the money from the robbery
had gone,

and we were just a young couple
raising our kids

off the back
of our own hard graft.

You were working on a
construction site at this time?

That´s right. Yeah, they
promoted me to foreman.

They said I was trustworthy.

[ Laughter ]

[ Indistinct talking ]

Come on, then.
Let´s get back down to work.

-The train driver was hit once.
-[ Camera shutter clicking ]

That´s all.

Jack Mills hurt himself
as he fell

rather than from a blow
by any of us.

-[ Camera shutter clicks ]
-Who hit him?

Well, I can´t give you his name
because he´s never been caught.

You´re telling me
there is a Great Train Robber

who´s never been caught?

More than one.
There was three of them.

But that´s incredible.

Yeah.

And there´s one other guy.
Billy Boal. God rest his soul.

He went down for it
and died in prison,

but he had
nothing to do with it.

It´s an abs...

Hello, Ron.
Long time no see.

[ Gasps ]

SLIPPER:
I think you remember me.

And I certainly remember you.

And you´re nicked.

[ Doorbell rings ]

What is it?

We´re from the Daily Express.

I´ve got nothing to say.

Especially not at this time
in the morning. Are you mad?

We´ve come here
to tell you something.

It´s about Ron.

What´s happened?

Uh, he´s been arrested.

In Rio. He was living there
under the name of Mike Haynes.

[ Sighs ] Oh, God.

Oh, no.

Uh, here, you´d better
take these inside.

Oh!

-Did you get it?
-Yeah.

[ Indistinct talking
and shouting ]

[ Gates slamming ]

Obrigado.

Hello, Xu Xu.

What do you want?

Did you...

...go and see the old nurse
about the baby?

Oh, thank God.

Listen, Raimunda, sweetheart,
um...

Well, I´ve been speaking
to some people in here,

and there might be a way
we can, uh...

...help each other.

SLIPPER: But we have a seat
booked for him

on a flight
out of here tonight.

This has all been discussed
at diplomatic level.

My instructions are

that the prisoner
is to remain in our custody

until further notice.

I´m sorry,
Chief Superintendent Slipper.

Bloody hell.

Charm, take my advice

and don´t do a deal
with any of the papers.

If they want to do a story
about you,

accept flights and hotel
expenses by all means,

but no fee.

Another big payday might turn
the public against you,

and you have to
think about the boys.

Why would he have done
such a thing?

Why take the risk of
meeting a journalist out there?

He must have known
what might happen.

There´s something
you should know, Charm.

We´re getting information
about a Brazilian girlfriend.

Raimunda Nascimento de Castro.

She´s apparently campaigning
for his release.

So am I to be dispensed with?

Is that why he hasn´t been
writing to us?

Because he´s shacked up
with some woman out there?

[ Men shouting in Portuguese ]

[ Shouting continues ]

Oh, my poor, sweet darling.

My poor, sweet darling.

You look great, Charm.

If you´d given me some warning,

I could have lost a few pounds
for you.

You don´t need to lose anything,
hmm?

You look gorgeous.

Why did you do it, Ron?

Why take the risk?

I suppose I...

I´d had enough.

I was going to earn one last
payday for you and the boys,

and then I was ready
to turn myself in.

Yeah, but the Daily Express,
they double-crossed me.

They got the story,
but they didn´t pay me.

Why didn´t you write to me?

I kept meaning to,
but it was...

It was just too painful.

So you left me to grieve
for our son on my own?

I´m so sorry.

You know, for a long while
it´s felt like

I´ve been slowly dying
out here.

You still found time
to take up with a girlfriend.

Who is she?

Raimunda.

Do the boys and I not figure
in your plans anymore?

Of course you do.

Why are the press
making such a fuss of her?

Just don´t knock her too hard,

´cause she might just be
my ticket out of here.

What do you mean?

Well, you see, she´s, um...

She´s pregnant.

-What?
-Hold on. Just...

Look...

Look, I´m not even sure
it´s mine.

Right, but the thing is,

if we can persuade the Brazilian
authorities that it is,

then there´s a good chance
they won´t deport me.

Yeah, they won´t deprive a child
of its parent.

Raimunda´s up for it if
I look after her financially.

You mean
you could stay here openly?

Yeah, a free man.

And I could come and join you
with the boys?

No more hiding, Charm.

We can live
as husband and wife again.

But what?

What´s the catch?

Before any of that can happen,
my poor darling,

you´re gonna have to divorce me.

Now, look,
it´s only for appearances,

so the Brazilians can think

that I´m serious
about bringing up this baby.

I mean, it´s a Catholic country,
isn´t it?

You want me to divorce you?

But we can get married again
when it´s all died down.

It´s just a short-term fix,
my darling.

But what would the boys think?

-[ Gate opens ]
-This way gentlemen, please.

[ Indistinct talking ]

-What´s going on here?
-Can we have some privacy?

It is a press conference.

MAN:
And what about the stories

that one of the reasons
you might stay here

is because of your relationship
with this girl, Raimunda?

Are they true?

Well, the fact is, she has lived
with me for more than a year.

Um...

And I have a great amount
of affection for Raimunda.

But my children will always be
a part of my life

and so will Charmian.

[ Sobs ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Raimunda!
Come on, baby.

Are you gonna stay in Brazil?

What are you gonna do next?
What are your next plans?

I love you.
I do.

Mr. Biggs! Mr. Biggs!
Mr. Biggs!

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Oh, for fu...

Mum?

Hi.
It´s me -- Charmian.

Charmian.

Is that really you?

How are you, Mum?

How´s Gillian and the boys?
And Dad?

Oh, uh...

Everyone is fine here.

Oh, it´s so good
to hear your voice.

-Can you speak?
-Y-Yes.

Your father´s out.

I guess he would be
at this time.

I´ve thought about you
a lot, Charmian.

I prayed for you every night
after you lost poor Nicky.

I don´t know
how I got through it.

There´s been so many times

I wished I could have talked
to you and asked your advice.

Not that you´d have
paid any attention to it.

[ Both chuckle ]

Mum, I´m going to be traveling
back out to Rio

in a couple of weeks.

Oh, uh, yes.

We´ve, uh, been following
things in the paper.

CHARMIAN: Looks like we might be
moving out there for good.

Oh, do be careful, Charmian.

It´s not a nice country,
by all accounts.

Your father says
it´s ruled by thugs.

I´m going to be going out there
for a short trip

to look at possible places
to live and things, and...

I was thinking,
on the way home,

of breaking the journey
in England

so we could come and see you --
the boys and I.

[ Exhales slowly ]

Oh, that would be nice.

Yes, I -- I´d love that.

And, uh, would Dad be okay
about it?

I´ll talk to him, Charmian.

I´ve got time to get him
used to the idea.

CHARMIAN:
So, what do you think?

It´s brilliant.

[ Laughs ]
What about you, Twiz?

Do you think
you could live here?

If Dad were with us,
I could.

[ Vehicle horns honking ]

Senhor Biggs,
are you looking forward

to seeing your English wife
and your family again?

Senhor Biggs.

Can we talk to you later?

[ Exhales slowly ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Door closes ]

Look who it is, boys.

Aren´t you gonna say hello
to your old dad?

Go on, boys.

Come on.

See Dad.
Go on.

Ohh!

Here, I can´t believe
what a big boy you are now.

I´m nearly seven.

And I hear
you´re a good footballer.

I´m quite good.

Come and sit down.
Do you want a coffee?

No.
No, no, I´m fine.

So, what are
we going to do today?

We could go to the beach.

Can we take a cable-car ride

to the top
of Sugarloaf Mountain?

I heard about Sugarloaf Mountain
on the airplane.

Can we go
on the cable car, Dad?

We can walk to it from here,
can´t we?

What sort of tools do you use
at work, Dad?

Look, the thing is, um...

Well, I haven´t really got
any time this morning.

I´ve only got an hour or so.
Then I´ve got to get back.

What?

I´ve got to keep things sweet
with her ladyship.

Sorry, love.

We´ve traveled thousands
of miles to be with you.

And I´m supposed to
be living with her,

under the terms of my release.

She thinks it wouldn´t look good

if I´m seen
out and about with you.

What are we supposed to do?

We came here to see you,
to spend some time with you.

Look, she´s almost lost the baby
once already,

and, well,
to be honest with you,

she´s in such a stew
with you lot being here,

I´m worried
it´s gonna happen again.

So she snaps her fingers,
and you jump?

Come on. If she wasn´t pregnant,
I wouldn´t be free now, would I?

Jesus Christ.

Can we at least
go down to the pool

so the boys can have a swim?

It would have to be this place
they put you up in, eh?

It´s where I was arrested.

No, look, it´s probably safer
to stay up here just now.

There´s a few journos

hanging around down there
looking for a scoop.

So why don´t we, um...

Yeah, we´ll get
some room service sent up,

and then I can come back
tomorrow morning.

I know a lovely little spot

where we can
take the boys fishing.

How about that?

Right, that´s it.
I´m going over there.

It´s outrageous leaving us
waiting like this.

Come on, you two.

-Please, Twiz.
-I don´t want to see him.

I don´t even like him.

Okay.
Suit yourself.

You can stay here,
and I´ll tell reception.

But you don´t leave this room.
You understand?

Come on.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Ah, bellissima!

[ Wolf whistle ]

Gostaria de ver meu marido.

I wish to see my husband!

My husband!

What the hell
are you playing at?

What´s up?

You were supposed to be
at the hotel at 8:00.

The boys have been waiting
for you.

Oh, sorry, it was
a bit of a night last night.

Have you any idea
how selfish you are?

-Calm down.
-I won´t bloody calm down!

This little boy -- your son --
was excited to come on this trip

because he could
finally have his own dad

instead of having to borrow
other daddies from his friends.

Twiz is so upset he wouldn´t
even leave the hotel room.

[ Speaking Portuguese ]

We came out here ready to start
a new life with you, Ron.

What?

-I´ll ask her.
-Ask me what?

She said can you come back
another time

[Laughing] ´cause she´s
feeling tired?

Tell your whore,
no, I will not leave.

And furthermore will she
get out of my husband´s bed

and put
some fucking clothes on?!

-Hey, hey.
-[ Speaking Portuguese ]

I don´t know what you´re saying,
but you can go to hell!

She´s nothing
but a cheap, common tart!

How dare she talk to me
like that, Ron?!

The divorce hasn´t gone through!
I am still your wife!

If she wants a fight,
I´ll give her one!

She thinks
she´s had it tough?!

I´ve cried myself to sleep
at night for four bloody years!

I buried my son!

I can´t believe
you´d treat us like this.

Come on.

Oh, dear God.
This is an impossible situation.

CHARMIAN:
I might not have her body,

but I´ve given you three kids.

I´m her equal facially,
and I know I´m better company.

It isn´t a competition.
She´s just helping us out.

It seems to me she´s got designs
on becoming the new Mrs. Biggs.

Anyway, it´s not the perfect,
but the imperfect,

who have need of love.

Don´t you dare
quote Oscar Wilde to me.

If you must know, I can barely
stand the sight of her.

Ron, remember in Paris,

I tried to tell you something.

It´s important.
I got pregnant.

I had an abortion.

Yeah, I guessed
it was something like that.

It was a stupid mistake,

and I´ve had a long time
to regret it.

But you were right when you said
it didn´t matter.

Tell me this is the same,

that this baby
won´t make a difference.

It´s a means to an end.

That´s all.

When are we gonna
spend some time together?

We´ve got so much
making up to do.

There´s a party tomorrow night.

We can spend some time
together there.

RON: Yeah, well, uh...
[ Laughs ]

Hey, I´m Conti.
Friend of Ron´s.

He told me all about you.

That´s Virgil, our host.

He and Ron met in a bar.

They make unlikely companions,
don´t they?

Not really. As long as
Virgil was buying the drinks.

We´re all hoping
Ron can stay free.

[ Gilberto Gil´s "Expresso 2222"
playing ]

Listen, mate, I know you´ve got
to keep Xu Xu sweet,

but your wife
is sitting over there

getting seriously pissed off.

Oh, she´s all right.
Charm knows the score.

Relax.

Cheers.

Boys.
Boys, now, listen to me.

Oh.
Come here, little one.

Look.

Say hello to your
little brother or sister.

Eh? What do you think
it´s gonna be?

A boy.

A boy, eh?
Not a girl?

Okay, that´s it!

I´ve had enough.
We´re leaving.

-What´s the matter with you?
-Get off me!

No, Charm, wait.
Wait.

It´s sick, making him
touch her like that!

Come on, it was just
a bit of fun. Where you going?

-Home.
-Back to the hotel?

We are leaving
on the first available flight

tomorrow morning!

Come on.
Let´s talk about this.

We´ve been trying to talk to you
ever since we got here.

Look, Charm, just give it
another couple of months, yeah?

And then we can
all move in together.

Yeah, Raimunda and the baby
and you and the boys.

What do you think?

I don´t know
what´s wrong with you.

Boys, come with me a minute.

Conti, look after the boys
for me.

CONTI: Yeah, mate.
Go, go.

Come here, come here.
Shh, shh, shh.

Let´s go back to the hotel now
and make love, eh?

You want that, don´t you, eh?

It´s been so long, hasn´t it,
Charm?

Come on.
Let´s just do it right here.

[ Crying ] Get off me!

[ Sobbing ]

I don´t know how to handle it.

Look, if I don´t
play things right with her,

I´m gonna be deported.

You know what?
I don´t blame you.

I don´t even blame her.
I just...

I can´t stand it anymore.

Maybe I was naive.

Maybe I rushed out here
too soon.

I just...

I wanted us
to be together again.

I thought I could hack it,
go back and do my time.

But I can´t, love.

I need to be free.

Oh, Ron.

You´re confusing being free
with not being in prison.

You really think this is
what it´s like to be free?

Boys.

[ Sobbing ]

No.

[ Crying ] No, look,
I love you, Charm!

I never stopped
loving you, Ron.

Only what you´ve become.

[ Birds chirping ]

Come on, boys.
Out you get.

[ Knock on door ]

Hello, Mum.

Hello, Charmian.

Hello, boys.

I recognize you
from your photos.

-Do you know who I am?
-You´re our grandma.

That´s right.

-Charm!
-Gillian.

Look at you.
You´re so grown up.

-[ Laughs ]
-Look at your hair.

Ohh!

MURIEL: Forgive them.

They haven´t seen each other
for a long time.

-Well, come on in.
-Come on, boys.

And then this
is my fiancé, Keith.

-JAMIE: Oh! Great shot!
-CHARMIAN: Oh, very nice.

When are you getting married?

GILLIAN:
When he qualifies.

We´re saving like mad
at the moment.

Those boys are a credit to you,
Charmian.

They haven´t turned out badly,
have they?

In spite of the best efforts
of their father and I.

How is Ron?
Keeping his spirits up?

That´s one way of putting it.

The trip to Rio wasn´t
an unqualified success.

Oh. What happened?

Ron behaved very badly.

We were made to feel like
an embarrassment to him...

[ Footsteps ]

Told you he was no good.

I knew he´d let you down
in the end.

You were right, Dad.

It´s over between Ron and I.
We´re getting a divorce.

Sometimes I feel it would have
been better if we´d never met.

[ Children shouting
indistinctly ]

So are those two young gentlemen
out there my grandsons?

They look fine, healthy boys,
Charmian.

I was a good cricketer myself
when I was their age.

Did you know?

My word,
you boys are hungry fellows.

I´ve never seen anyone put away
as many potatoes as you.

CHARMIAN:
Sunday lunch is their favorite.

BERNARD: Once you´re back home,
you can come again.

Perhaps we can arrange
a cricket match, too.

Are you coming back?

It would be lovely
to see you more often.

There´s nothing
to keep her away now, is there,

not now
she´s getting a divorce.

MURIEL:
No, it´s true.

You don´t have to
wait for him anymore, love.

You´re free.

Please come home, Charm.

I´m sorry, but Australia
is our home now.

I want to go back
and finish my degree

and raise the boys there.

In a country that wants us.

Where we can feel
some hope for the future.

The future´s
full of possibilities.

The past
will only drag us down.

[ Chuckles ]

After all, what am I here?

I´m just Mrs. Biggs,
the train robber´s wife.

TWIZ: Freddy!
