Close the door.

Keith's in town.

We have an hour.

I have to tell you something.

I almost had Keith's baby.

But I didn't know if I loved him.

So...

I went and had it fixed.

I told Keith I lost it naturally.

It's really bad of me, isn't it?

No.

No?

Not to me.

Get out of the fucking car.

Hey, what are we doing here?

Well, Dorrigo...

This is it, mate.

What do you reckon?

It's all mine, mate.

All of it.

Down to the river.

Mine and Amy's.

I bought it for her.

I'm going to build her a house here, mate.

A little quiet, peaceful spot to get away from the pub.

I know how she likes to get away.

Yeah. This is what honesty and hard work will get you.

Honesty and hard work.

Better get dressed.

How's business?

Slow.

Did you shower?

Beg your pardon?

Did you shower before you get into my bed?

Don't you mean our bed?

Oh, you know I hate it

when you get in all sweaty and dirty up the sheets.

Yeah, don't worry, Keith. I showered.

Dorrigo and I were thinking

maybe we could all go to lunch tomorrow.

We're visiting the Robertsons.

He could come.

I'm not his babysitter, Amy. Dorrigo can go to the barracks.

We've got plans.

I'll let him know.

You done with this?

"As though to breathe were life

Life piled on life

Were all too little and of one to me

Little remains

But every hour is saved from that eternal silence

Something more, a bringer of new things and vile it were

For some three suns to store and hoard myself

For some three suns to store and hoard myself"

Go on.

"Free hearts

Free foreheads

You and I are old"

- Will you sit? - I can't.

Sit...

- I can't. - Stay...

I've got to keep working.

Keith's around.

I ship out on Wednesday.

What?

Three days from now.

Wednesday, I'm leaving.

Where?

They said they'll give us further instruction

when we reach the Pacific.

What's going on?

Nothing, I just broke a plate.

Mind you don't cut yourself.

Pass. Eight spades.

I saw Alexander Quinn down the street today.

Oh yeah, how'd he look? Happy?

He was looking very sheepish.

He wouldn't even look me in the eye.

Well, you know, he's best friends with Eve.

That poor woman's a wreck,

trying to look after three children

while he's running around courting one.

You know, Carmel and I are the same age.

- Really? - Hm-mm

She looks younger.

Wow. Thanks, Elsie.

Stop it. You are gorgeous.

That Carmel though, she's cunning.

She knew very well what she was doing,

sleeping with a wealthy lawyer.

What was she doing?

How do you mean?

Well, what was she being so cunning about?

I mean, do you think she's doing this all for the money?

- All what? - All of this...

So we can talk about her like she's the devil.

You're talking like she's the victim here.

- Not some little harlot. - Oh, come on, love.

Well, maybe they're in love.

Cheating's not love.

It's easy. It's pathetic.

Do you really think that, Elsie?

Yes, I do.

Don't you?

Let me think.

I think a love not named can be a love all the same.

Slow down, Keith.

Okay, slow down.

Just stay in the car. You're scaring me.

You lie to me now and that's, that's it for us.

Lie about what?

Why Amy?

Why with him?

He's my fucking nephew.

That's cruel. Even for you.

- Would you take me home? - No!

You are not lying in my bed until you tell me the truth.

You think that I don't know you? I know you, Amy.

"A love not named is still a love"?

In front of my fucking friends?

I was talking about Alex and Carmel.

You just look me in the eye and you tell me

that you are not sleeping with Dorrigo.

Are you fucking him in my bed?

Our bed?

Are you?

Just tell me the truth, Amy.

There's nothing going on, Keith.

Alright.

Okay.

We're good together.

We are.

Hello.

He knows.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Keith's fine.

Did you tell him the truth?

Dorrigo, you have to go back.

To what?

Amy?

To Ella.

To normal.

I can't.

Why?

It's too late.

I'm Keith's.

And you're Ella's.

It's not true.

It's the only thing that's true.

But you're going to be all right.

We're going to be all right.

Take care, Dorrigo.

What's wrong?

I just needed a break

from being paraded around to your father's friends.

It's a good thing, Dorie. We're getting you work.

I'm grateful. I am. Very, very grateful.

But what?

Do you think your father would consider me

so capable of surgery if I wasn't fucking his daughter?

Excuse me!

I have spent my entire life attending my parent's parties.

You can do it for one night.

There!

There's the surgeon.

Bring him over a Scotch. He prefers a blend.

What do you care?

Because you are to be great.

You just haven't realised it yet.

Got the pool man coming today.

- Yeah? - Hm-mm.

- What time? - About four.

- Will you be around? - Hm-mm.

You should know that Rick told me about the affair.

I'll stay at Jessica's tonight.

You know the worst thing you did to me, Dorrigo?

You made me hard.

For you, sir.

You're fucking joking.

The tax man said I owe money.

Those fuckers find me here.

Sorry, sir.

Bit of a slow day today.

Lieutenant-Colonel,

Nakamura wishes to speak with you.

You may have a parasite in your blood.

But my main concern is cerebral malaria.

If we don't treat it, your brain will swell,

and your body will go into seizures.

Shabu helps.

You need medical attention, Major.

Do you know of Kintsugi?

No...

My wife, she likes this very much.

She puts together broken pottery with gold,

and makes it even better than before.

You are to do this to me.

San-byaku-juu.

San-byaku-sa-juu-ni.

San-byaku-yon-juu.

San-byaku-juu-san.

San-byaku-ni-juu-shi.

You! Leader today...

Leader! Leader!

Come on, Frank. Up you go, mate.

Oh, fuck!

You right, Frank?

You right?

Come on! Go fucking over there.

I'm just, I'm going to have something to eat,

then I'll catch up, okay?

Go! I'm the fucking gang leader.

It's a fucking order.

Fuck you!

See you in a bit, Sheepie.

Oh fuck!

Get up.

If he can't walk, he is useless to us.

Send him back.

Sick house.

San-byaku-juu.

San-byaku-sa-nuu.

San-byaku-ni-juu-san.

San-byaku-yo-juu.

San-byaku-san-juu-ni.

The Railway Command Group

have issued new orders.

What is this final order...?

We can't send them one hundred prisoners.

With the shorter completion time,

we need those one hundred extra men.

It can't be helped.

Progress is slow at the border...

How will we get them there?

They are to march of course, on foot.

Many will die, sir.

Probably.

But this is for the Emperor. It must be done.

Do not embarrass me here, Major.

You are to find a way to accomplish the mission.

Stand up!

No more rest!

Get up! Work!

Do your work!

Harder!

Work faster!

Harder!

Where the fuck have you two been?

Having a rest.

Well, we got counted this morning.

Don't need to be back there until evening parade, so...

Hey, you can't expect the other boys to pick up your slack.

It's not fair.

Like any of this is fucking fair.

I don't care what you do.

I just, I care if anyone else suffers, okay?

No one's going to know.

And you'll keep your fucking mouth shut, won't you?

Come on! Please!

Fall in to be counted.

Tell him.

Today at the railway, the head count was two short, sir.

Who was missing?

I'm sorry I do not know Major.

I counted again, and the men are all present.

Where were they earlier?

I do not know that either.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Hey, I should be able to count on you.

Enough!

Managing prisoners is your job Major Nakamura.

I warned you not to embarrass me.

Okay, sunshine, okay...

The men who are missing today are to come forward.

If those who refuse to work will not admit to their laziness,

because they are cowards,

then someone else is to speak and tell us who it is.

Insolence will not be tolerated!

Who is the squad leader today?

I'm afraid I don't see him.

Go find him.

Run!

Run!

Run!

You know what I keep thinking about, sir?

Yeah, what's that?

Nikitaris's Fish Shop.

As a kid, Mum and I would go every Friday.

We'd always order the same thing.

Two couta, some chips, and buttered bread.

- That sounds good. - Yeah...

Yeah, but it's not the food I'm thinking of, sir.

No, it's those fish...

Swimming around in circles in this great big tank,

waiting for the fryer.

It's not natural, sir.

Just like it's not natural, any of us, being here.

If I ever make it back home, sir,

I'm going to go straight to Nikitaris's Fish Shop.

I'm gonna scoop up all those fishes,

take 'em to the docks and set 'em free.

Get 'em back to where they belong, sir.

We make it back, I'll help you rob the place.

Thank you, sir.

I'm just gonna wash my hands, Frank.

- Hm-mm. - I'll be right back.

Someone speak up.

If you don't step forward, the squad leader will be punished.

Sick!

Byoki!

Mistake! That man is sick.

They took him from my hospital.

Shut-up!

This man is sick! This man is sick!

Get in the line!

Byoki!

I am the commanding officer here.

He needs to listen to me. That man is sick!

Byoki! Stop!

Major! Stop this now!

Enough. Enough. He's sick.

Major?

Stop it!

Join the lines.

Please! Please!

Respect!

You respect me!

No! No! No...

Do it!

Please...

help me.

Please, help me.

Hey!

Stand him up.

I did not say to stop.

Understand?

Get yourself together. You hear me?

Speak!

Speak!

Speak.
