00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:02,369
Dan doesn't work Fridays,
and Ben's on nights.
184
00:15:03,137 --> 00:15:05,874
Okay, honey, and if you
see your brother,
185
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:09,143
just give me a quick call.
I mean, I know you're okay.
186
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:12,614
I just need to hear your voice.
Love you. Bye.

[sirens wail in distance]
190
00:15:23,123 --> 00:15:25,058
Open the gate.
191
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:28,328
My husband's in there.
Milton Osborne?
192
00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:30,899
Open the bloody gate!
193
00:15:30,964 --> 00:15:32,901

[guard speaks indistinctly]
196
00:15:38,138 --> 00:15:40,340
Where's the mine?

[gravel crunches]
198
00:15:47,782 --> 00:15:50,951
Have you guys got a procedure
if something like this happens?
199
00:15:51,018 --> 00:15:52,486
How far away is the mine?
200
00:15:52,554 --> 00:15:54,955
Can we walk up there,
or is it a drive? How far is it?
201
00:15:55,022 --> 00:15:56,558
You can't go up there, mate.

-Son?
-Yeah.
206
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:11,138
Just heard on the radio.
207
00:16:11,205 --> 00:16:13,140
-Are the boys okay?
-Uh...
208
00:16:13,207 --> 00:16:15,142
Uh, I don't know. I mean, I...
209
00:16:15,209 --> 00:16:18,111
[chuckles] I don't know
what I'm doing.
210
00:16:18,178 --> 00:16:20,682
Looks like you're packing.
211
00:16:21,716 --> 00:16:24,552
I don't know where it is.
Up a mountain somewhere?
212

-Two have come out.
-Milt?
216
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:50,210
No, cop said they walked out.
There could be more.

-[radio static]
221
00:17:15,870 --> 00:17:17,437
Come on.
222
00:17:17,505 --> 00:17:18,840
No signal. Come on. We're in
the mountains. You know that.
223
00:17:18,907 --> 00:17:20,909
Yeah, I know we're in
the bloody mountains.
224
00:17:20,975 --> 00:17:22,744
I can see them.
225
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:32,185
Something good
will come of this.
226
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:34,254
Like what?
227
00:17:35,389 --> 00:17:37,592
Yeah. I don't know what.
228
00:17:38,392 --> 00:17:41,161
I can tell, right?
229
00:17:46,901 --> 00:17:49,102
[cell phone rings]
230
00:17:49,904 --> 00:17:52,105
Yeah?
231
00:17:55,810 --> 00:17:58,111
What?
232
00:18:02,115 --> 00:18:05,118
[machine beeps steadily]
233
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,855
Mum.

[softly] Daniel.
235
00:18:09,356 --> 00:18:11,559
Mum... Sorry.

-I stink.
-[chuckles]
237
00:18:13,962 --> 00:18:15,897
You okay?
238
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:17,899
Did you...
239
00:18:17,966 --> 00:18:20,434
Did you see-- Did you see Ben?
240
00:18:22,269 --> 00:18:23,671
Your boy's a hero.
241
00:18:23,738 --> 00:18:27,075
-What?
-He saved my husband's life.
242
00:18:27,742 --> 00:18:30,678
-[breathes shakily]
-Did you see him?
243
00:18:30,745 --> 00:18:32,680
[Daniel sobs]
No, no, no, no, no.
244
00:18:32,747 --> 00:18:34,882
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. Shh.
245
00:18:34,949 --> 00:18:36,684
It's okay.
246
00:18:36,751 --> 00:18:39,152
-You're okay. You're okay.
-[sobs]
247
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:40,888
You're safe.
248
00:18:40,955 --> 00:18:42,090
You're safe. You're safe.
249
00:18:42,155 --> 00:18:44,726
-You're safe, honey.
-[sobs]
250

Hey, Nev.
252
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:58,171
Hey, Nev! Was Ben in the mine?

-Hi, darling.
-Hi, Mum.
261
00:19:36,511 --> 00:19:40,280
[sniffles] Have you
heard anything yet?
262
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:43,250
Yeah, not yet. Any minute now.
263
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:47,955
Is Casey with you?
264
00:19:48,690 --> 00:19:50,625
Yeah.
265
00:19:50,692 --> 00:19:52,426
Good. Well...
266
00:19:52,492 --> 00:19:56,196
get some sleep.
I'll call you first thing.
267
00:19:56,263 --> 00:19:58,066
-Love you.
-Okay.
268
00:19:58,132 --> 00:20:00,200
Night, Mama.

-You'll be all right?
-Yep.
273
00:20:31,264 --> 00:20:33,201
Mrs Rockhouse.
274
00:20:33,266 --> 00:20:35,268
Mrs Rockhouse.
275
00:20:35,335 --> 00:20:37,205
Mrs Rockhouse?
276
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:39,707
Sonya? How is your son?
277
00:20:40,074 --> 00:20:43,211
We just want to know
if he's all right, Sonya.
278
00:20:43,276 --> 00:20:45,213
Your husband works
for the company?
279
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:46,681
It's ex-husband, all right?
280
00:20:46,748 --> 00:20:48,816
Can you get out of the way,
please? It's enough.
281
00:20:48,883 --> 00:20:51,552
It's Peter Whittall.
Stuart, it's Peter Whittall!
282
00:20:51,986 --> 00:20:53,221
Peter?
283
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,690
-Mr Whittall!
-[reporters clamour]
284
00:20:55,757 --> 00:20:59,827
Sarah here from 31 News.
I have a few questions, please.
285
00:20:59,894 --> 00:21:02,697
Peter, do you have anything
to say to the families
286
00:21:02,764 --> 00:21:03,765
of the...
287
00:21:05,933 --> 00:21:06,734
Right, uh...
288
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:10,204
I just wanted to say that
I know this is not easy,
289
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:13,040
and I just wanted to be here
with you this morning
290
00:21:13,107 --> 00:21:17,044
to let you know the information
that-- that I know.
291
00:21:18,679 --> 00:21:20,181
Yeah.
292
00:21:20,248 --> 00:21:21,616
So I, uh...
293
00:21:23,217 --> 00:21:25,052
I know the night you've all had.
294
00:21:27,255 --> 00:21:29,456
Pike River Coal is a family.
295
00:21:30,258 --> 00:21:32,994
Your men are my men,
296
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:36,197
and we'll not rest till we get
them home again safe and sound.
297
00:21:36,264 --> 00:21:38,933
Peter, have any more got out?
298
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,434
Uh, not yet.
299
00:21:41,869 --> 00:21:43,070
But we're hopeful.
300
00:21:43,137 --> 00:21:45,840
We've got Mines Rescue
up there, ready to go in.
301
00:21:45,907 --> 00:21:47,642
When are they going in?
302
00:21:47,708 --> 00:21:49,577
As soon as the gas
comes down, Rowdy.
303
00:21:49,644 --> 00:21:52,113
So you've talked to the boys
down there, have you?
304
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:53,848
Yeah, no.
305
00:21:53,915 --> 00:21:55,650
Not yet.
306
00:21:55,716 --> 00:21:57,852
[sighs] the lines are down.
307
00:21:57,919 --> 00:21:59,687
[scattered murmurs]
308
00:21:59,754 --> 00:22:02,557
But we know where they'll be--
309
00:22:02,623 --> 00:22:04,659
in the fresh air base.
310
00:22:04,725 --> 00:22:09,462
It's got everything they need.
You know, it's got water, air.
311
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:14,035
There's a pipeline. You just
turn it on, and out it comes.
312
00:22:15,703 --> 00:22:20,041
Now, there's enough there
to last for seven days.
313
00:22:21,509 --> 00:22:23,911
But we'll have them back
before then.
314
00:22:29,283 --> 00:22:32,385
[indistinct chatter]
315
00:22:33,254 --> 00:22:35,756
Do you mind putting your
contact information here?
316
00:22:35,823 --> 00:22:38,759
Yeah, doesn't Pike
have our numbers?
317
00:22:38,826 --> 00:22:41,596
We do try. It's on
the personnel forms,
318
00:22:41,662 --> 00:22:44,265
but the guys
don't always fill it in.
319
00:22:44,332 --> 00:22:46,868
Oh. And you work
for Pike, do you?
320
00:22:47,201 --> 00:22:50,204
Health and safety manager.
Neville Rockhouse.
321
00:22:50,271 --> 00:22:52,306
Oh. Question for you, Neville,
322
00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:56,077
if it's so bloody safe,
how come it blew up?
323
00:22:57,078 --> 00:22:59,080
Come on. Let's get back.
324
00:23:07,088 --> 00:23:09,090
[police radio chatter]
325
00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:22,402
[soft, pensive guitar music]
326
00:23:28,408 --> 00:23:31,812
This was a large-scale plan.
I brought this one along
327
00:23:31,879 --> 00:23:35,049
to show you the full length
of the tunnel.
328
00:23:35,116 --> 00:23:38,252
Whereabouts do you think
my husband, Milton Osborne,
329
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,154
and his guys would have
been working?
330
00:23:40,221 --> 00:23:41,622
Well, Milt and the Subtech team,
331
00:23:41,689 --> 00:23:43,456
they were working
down the south here,
332
00:23:43,524 --> 00:23:45,393
so not too far from
a fresh air base.
333
00:23:45,458 --> 00:23:48,596
Three days since an explosion
at the Pike River Mine
334
00:23:48,663 --> 00:23:51,599
in New Zealand, authorities say
it is still unsafe
335
00:23:51,666 --> 00:23:53,401
to send rescue crews
underground.
336
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:56,404
General Manager of New Zealand
Mines Rescue Trevor Watts
337
00:23:56,469 --> 00:23:58,639
-says it could take...
- [doorbell rings]
338
00:23:58,706 --> 00:24:00,440
...about two hours to
reach the men by foot
339
00:24:00,508 --> 00:24:03,110
once they're given the
clearance to begin the rescue.
340
00:24:03,177 --> 00:24:06,213
In the mine are 24 New
Zealanders, two Australians,
341
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,448
two British citizens
and one South African.
342
00:24:08,516 --> 00:24:11,352
Hi, I'm Jenny. This is Sam.
We're just wondering if, um,
343
00:24:11,419 --> 00:24:12,920
-you've heard anything.
-Hey, Leash.
344
00:24:12,987 --> 00:24:15,122
Leash, shut the door.
No! Get out of here!
345
00:24:15,189 --> 00:24:16,657
[door slams, dog barks]

[cell phone rings]
348
00:24:23,264 --> 00:24:25,199
-Hon?
-Hey, Mum.
349
00:24:25,266 --> 00:24:27,001
A lady came from...
350
00:24:27,068 --> 00:24:29,637
-the magazine.
-What did she say?
351
00:24:30,271 --> 00:24:32,206
[sobs quietly]
352
00:24:32,273 --> 00:24:34,474
[breathes anxiously]
353
00:24:38,012 --> 00:24:40,047
Tell me, Leash.
354
00:24:40,514 --> 00:24:43,150
She was asking about Dad.
355
00:24:45,019 --> 00:24:47,088
[sobs quietly]
356
00:24:50,458 --> 00:24:53,694
-Your kids need you.
-[sighs]
357
00:24:56,364 --> 00:24:58,265
Milt needs me.
358
00:25:00,167 --> 00:25:03,004
What if he comes back
and I'm not here?
359
00:25:04,505 --> 00:25:06,240
He'll know where to find you.
360
00:25:16,417 --> 00:25:19,053
[soft, uneasy music]
361
00:25:34,869 --> 00:25:36,804
[helicopter blades whirr]
362
00:25:36,871 --> 00:25:39,140
Greymouth is a place of hope
right now, but as...
363
00:25:39,206 --> 00:25:41,575
An army of high-tech gadgetry
is being deployed
364
00:25:41,642 --> 00:25:43,144
at Pike River, including...
365
00:25:43,210 --> 00:25:45,346
The Prime Minister John Key's
flying to the West Coast
366
00:25:45,413 --> 00:25:47,516
this morning ahead of
that latest meeting
367
00:25:47,581 --> 00:25:49,116
with the families...
368
00:25:49,183 --> 00:25:52,319
Four fuckin' days, Gary.
What are you playing at?
369
00:25:52,386 --> 00:25:54,155
Don't make trouble, Mr Drew.
370
00:25:54,221 --> 00:25:56,323
Nah, nah, you're out of
your fuckin' depth.
371
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:58,159
We can't just charge in.
372
00:25:58,225 --> 00:26:00,361
We need to make sure
the recovery is safe.
373
00:26:00,428 --> 00:26:01,495
[quiet murmuring]
374
00:26:01,562 --> 00:26:03,164
-Recovery?
-The-- The rescue.
375
00:26:03,230 --> 00:26:06,367
No, don't you fork-tongue me,
mate.
376
00:26:06,434 --> 00:26:08,169
Your mouth's telling one story,
377
00:26:08,235 --> 00:26:10,371
and your eyes are
telling another story.
378
00:26:10,438 --> 00:26:12,640
You need to walk in truth!
379
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:16,444
Fuckin' pig.
380
00:26:17,244 --> 00:26:19,380
Fork tongue?
What's he going on about?
381
00:26:19,447 --> 00:26:21,182
[door thuds]
382
00:26:21,248 --> 00:26:23,184
You know what you've
gotta do, Peter.
383
00:26:23,250 --> 00:26:24,985
You're gonna have to
seal the mine.
384
00:26:25,052 --> 00:26:26,387
-[indistinct murmuring]
-no.
385
00:26:26,454 --> 00:26:27,655
No.
386
00:26:27,721 --> 00:26:29,156
You can't.
You can't bury them alive.
387
00:26:29,223 --> 00:26:31,158
-We won't do that.
-You're a mining man,
388
00:26:31,225 --> 00:26:33,260
same as me,
so you know what I'm saying.
389
00:26:33,327 --> 00:26:35,362
-No way. no.
-[murmuring continues]
390
00:26:35,429 --> 00:26:37,398
We have not given up,
391
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:39,667
and we will not give up.
392
00:26:46,474 --> 00:26:49,677
[indistinct conversation]
393
00:26:53,481 --> 00:26:56,016
[bird chirps]
394
00:26:56,083 --> 00:26:58,886
[on TV] The hole will be used
to take air samples,
395
00:26:58,953 --> 00:27:02,223
but it will also allow rescuers
to hear anyone talking.
396
00:27:02,289 --> 00:27:04,625
The names of the 29
have not yet been released,
397
00:27:04,692 --> 00:27:07,828
but more and more of those
names are now being reported.
398
00:27:07,895 --> 00:27:10,064
-The police say...
-Oh, yuck. No.
399
00:27:10,865 --> 00:27:15,769
[vehicle doors close outside,
indistinct voices]
400
00:27:15,836 --> 00:27:18,105
[cell phone chimes]
401
00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:23,144
-[engine starts outside]
-Huh.
402
00:27:23,444 --> 00:27:25,813
"Significant update."
403
00:27:36,924 --> 00:27:40,127
[quiet,
indistinct conversations]
404
00:27:56,911 --> 00:27:59,146
[assembly quietens]
405
00:28:02,850 --> 00:28:06,921
Good afternoon.
I've just come from the mine.
406
00:28:07,589 --> 00:28:10,424
We've been monitoring
the situation, as you know,
407
00:28:10,491 --> 00:28:11,926
very closely.
408
00:28:12,426 --> 00:28:15,530
Got the Mines Rescue guys
up there donning on their gear.
409
00:28:15,597 --> 00:28:18,465
This morning, we were told
it's looking good.
410
00:28:18,533 --> 00:28:21,001
The gas is down. no. [applause]
411
00:28:22,803 --> 00:28:24,738
[cheering]
412
00:28:24,805 --> 00:28:26,740
Folks. Folks.
413
00:28:26,807 --> 00:28:29,009
Please, calm down.
414
00:28:30,811 --> 00:28:33,714
There's been another explosion
at the mine.
415
00:28:33,781 --> 00:28:36,016
[murmuring rises, fades]
416
00:28:36,717 --> 00:28:37,818
All the men are dead.
417
00:28:37,885 --> 00:28:41,755
-No!
-[crowd exclaim, shout angrily]
418
00:28:41,822 --> 00:28:43,757
[screaming]
419
00:28:43,824 --> 00:28:44,758
[weeping]
420
00:28:44,825 --> 00:28:47,861
[wails]
421
00:28:49,330 --> 00:28:52,466
You really fucked us over,
didn't you?
422
00:28:52,534 --> 00:28:55,269
[shouting, wailing, weeping]
423
00:28:55,336 --> 00:28:58,472
-[cries]
-[crowd clamour, wail]
424
00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:00,474
We'll get the guys home.
425
00:29:00,542 --> 00:29:01,475
[low, dark music]
426
00:29:01,543 --> 00:29:04,245
You fuckin' lied to us!
427
00:29:06,347 --> 00:29:08,482
Whatever it takes,
we'll get them home.
428
00:29:08,550 --> 00:29:10,484
[sobs]
429
00:29:10,552 --> 00:29:11,653
-When?
-I honestly don't-
430
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,588
-[sobs] When are you...?
-I don't know.
431
00:29:13,655 --> 00:29:15,256
-When? When?
-I honestly don't know.
432
00:29:15,322 --> 00:29:17,358
-But soon. By Christmas, I hope.
-When? When?!
433
00:29:17,424 --> 00:29:19,493
-[man speaks indistinctly]
-No, no, by...
434
00:29:19,561 --> 00:29:21,195
Christmas, I hope.
435
00:29:21,262 --> 00:29:24,298
We'll bring them home.
Whatever it takes.
436
00:29:24,365 --> 00:29:28,302
-[angry, indistinct shouting]
-We'll bring them home.
437
00:29:28,369 --> 00:29:32,172
[dark, ominous music
pulses, builds]
438
00:29:36,578 --> 00:29:40,447
[dissonant, distorted tones]
439
00:29:44,818 --> 00:29:47,756
[dark music continues]
440
00:29:53,595 --> 00:29:56,864
[music pulses, fades slowly]
441
00:31:03,832 --> 00:31:05,866
[sobs]
442
00:31:31,693 --> 00:31:33,894
[exhales sharply]
443
00:31:51,713 --> 00:31:55,082
[soft, uneasy music rises]
444
00:32:01,723 --> 00:32:04,925
[sighs slowly]
445
00:32:29,551 --> 00:32:33,721
[bell tolls in distance]
446
00:32:39,561 --> 00:32:41,596
[bell tolls]
447
00:32:42,362 --> 00:32:46,233
[Anna] Home by Christmas,
Peter. That's what you said.
448
00:32:46,601 --> 00:32:48,302
Well, that's--
that's what I hoped.
449
00:32:48,368 --> 00:32:51,506
I need my husband.
He can't stay there.
450
00:32:51,573 --> 00:32:53,173
I need to bury him.
451
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,542
[indistinct murmuring]
452
00:32:56,578 --> 00:32:58,111
Look.
453
00:32:59,379 --> 00:33:01,315
There were flames a mile high
454
00:33:01,381 --> 00:33:04,519
shooting out of the shaft
for 10 days.
455
00:33:04,586 --> 00:33:06,688
The men are gone.
456
00:33:06,754 --> 00:33:08,723
They'll be nothing but ash.
457
00:33:09,323 --> 00:33:11,926
-Well, prove that.
-Oh, come on, Bernie.
458
00:33:11,992 --> 00:33:13,393
How do you expect me to prove
459
00:33:13,460 --> 00:33:15,630
the non-existence of something
that's not there?
460
00:33:15,697 --> 00:33:17,532
Just go in and get
my son Michael.
461
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:19,366
-Yeah.
-His mother wants him home.
462
00:33:19,433 --> 00:33:22,637
-Okay, sit down, Mr Monk.
-No, I'm sick of your bullshit.
463
00:33:22,704 --> 00:33:25,707
-This is not your meeting.
-Well, whose meeting is it?
464
00:33:25,773 --> 00:33:28,710
[indistinct murmuring]
465
00:33:28,776 --> 00:33:30,778
I'll hold a meeting of my own.
466
00:33:32,780 --> 00:33:34,782
Gonna hold it outside.
467
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:46,794
[door opens]
468
00:33:47,629 --> 00:33:49,797
[door closes]
469
00:33:55,369 --> 00:33:58,006
-Can you move?
-Sorry.
470
00:33:58,071 --> 00:33:59,574
God.
471
00:33:59,641 --> 00:34:04,144
[Peter] Look. Look, I know
this is hard for all of us.
472
00:34:22,329 --> 00:34:24,832
[Gary] I am truly sorry.
473
00:34:25,198 --> 00:34:27,134
There is nothing more we can do.
474
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,971
Thank you, Gary.
The thing is, some fires...
475
00:34:30,038 --> 00:34:31,506
-Listen.
-...they burn underground
476
00:34:31,573 --> 00:34:32,907
-for 40 years.
-Listen!
477
00:34:32,974 --> 00:34:34,742
-You've gotta know that.
-Listen!
478
00:34:36,343 --> 00:34:38,111
For five days,
479
00:34:38,178 --> 00:34:40,147
we were lied to.
480
00:34:40,848 --> 00:34:42,817
Five days!
481
00:34:43,818 --> 00:34:45,820
Our men were dead.
482
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,222
Every miner on the Coast
knew that,
483
00:34:49,289 --> 00:34:51,826
and they also knew
it was going to blow again.
484
00:34:51,893 --> 00:34:54,696
But did these bozos listen?
485
00:34:55,195 --> 00:34:56,764
You should never have been
in charge,
486
00:34:56,831 --> 00:35:00,233
and you shouldn't be
in charge now.
487
00:35:02,402 --> 00:35:04,438
We need to get ourselves
a lawyer.
488
00:35:04,505 --> 00:35:07,441
I know someone.
I'm going to call him.
489
00:35:07,508 --> 00:35:10,477
So are you with me?
Or are you with these clowns?
490
00:35:10,545 --> 00:35:13,681
I'm with you, Bernie. Fuckin' A.
491
00:35:13,748 --> 00:35:15,482
[murmuring]
492
00:35:15,550 --> 00:35:18,753
Fuck it. I'm with you, Bernie.
493
00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:22,690
[indistinct conversations]
494
00:35:22,757 --> 00:35:24,726
Yeah, fuck it.
495
00:35:25,325 --> 00:35:28,529
[indistinct conversations
continue]
496
00:35:29,229 --> 00:35:31,532
[sniffles]
497
00:35:32,332 --> 00:35:34,535
It's your call.
498
00:35:37,337 --> 00:35:39,540
[seagull caws]
499
00:35:44,344 --> 00:35:47,582
Do you want me to
pack your stuff, Son?
500
00:36:09,871 --> 00:36:14,274
I can't stop thinking about
him burning, Pete.
501
00:36:16,778 --> 00:36:18,513
[softly] You wanna stay?
502
00:36:18,579 --> 00:36:21,281
No, no. I've got work.
503
00:36:25,385 --> 00:36:27,588
I can't leave him.
504
00:36:28,422 --> 00:36:31,324
[breathes shakily]
505
00:36:31,391 --> 00:36:33,594
[whispers] I can't leave him.
506
00:36:44,371 --> 00:36:48,275
[seagull caws]
507
00:36:48,341 --> 00:36:50,812
[hand brake clicks,
engine turns off]
508
00:36:57,217 --> 00:36:58,251
[spoon clinks]
509
00:36:58,853 --> 00:37:01,455
If everybody'd like to just
gather round. Thank you.
510
00:37:01,522 --> 00:37:04,391
-We can start.
-Thank you.
511
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,196
This is Colin. He's our lawyer.
512
00:37:08,261 --> 00:37:09,564
-Hey, Colin.
-Hello.
513
00:37:09,630 --> 00:37:12,166
He's also my brother-in-law,
so he's cheap.
514
00:37:12,232 --> 00:37:14,168
I'm actually free. [laughter]
515
00:37:14,234 --> 00:37:16,137
Well, that's what I meant.
516
00:37:16,204 --> 00:37:17,839
Well, um,
517
00:37:17,905 --> 00:37:19,473
as I see it,
518
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:22,744
the key thing is to have a voice
in what happens next,
519
00:37:22,810 --> 00:37:24,712
a united voice.
520
00:37:24,779 --> 00:37:28,448
There are 29 families here,
all wanting the same thing,
521
00:37:28,516 --> 00:37:29,449
to get the men home.
522
00:37:29,517 --> 00:37:31,284
And we need some bloody answers.
523
00:37:31,351 --> 00:37:34,589
We want to know why this thing
blew. What happened up there?
524
00:37:34,655 --> 00:37:37,592
That's not-- That's not our--
That's not our job. I mean,
525
00:37:37,658 --> 00:37:41,596
there's a Commission of Inquiry
for that. Our purpose
526
00:37:41,662 --> 00:37:44,599
is to ensure that the promise
made to you is kept...
527
00:37:44,665 --> 00:37:45,900
[murmurs of agreement]
528
00:37:45,967 --> 00:37:48,401
...that your men
will not be abandoned.
529
00:37:48,468 --> 00:37:49,604
-Right.
-Fuckin' oath.
530
00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:52,173
-Exactly.
-Anna.
531
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,175
Yeah.
532
00:37:54,242 --> 00:37:55,576
What's he doing here?
533
00:37:55,643 --> 00:37:58,713
-Excuse me?

00:49:52,827 --> 00:49:54,394
Stop saying flaps.
710
00:49:54,461 --> 00:49:57,899
Flaps. What, flaps?
Just open them.
711
00:49:57,966 --> 00:50:00,300
[both laugh]
712
00:50:00,835 --> 00:50:02,737
[squeals, farts] No!
713
00:50:02,804 --> 00:50:04,706
Oh, no! [giggles]
714
00:50:04,772 --> 00:50:08,576
[Sonya giggles,
speaks indistinctly]
715
00:50:08,643 --> 00:50:11,311
When I arrived,
there was nothing.
716
00:50:11,779 --> 00:50:15,282
It was a mountainside
and a feasibility study.
717
00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:17,919
Essentially, I was brought on
to build the mine
718
00:50:17,986 --> 00:50:19,453
from the ground up.
719
00:50:20,655 --> 00:50:22,590
There was one toilet
720
00:50:22,657 --> 00:50:25,392
for 60 men underground.
721
00:50:25,459 --> 00:50:28,596
I'm quoting from
a worker's testimony.
722
00:50:28,663 --> 00:50:30,397
'Most of the guys
723
00:50:30,464 --> 00:50:33,801
'had to resort to
going on the ground...
724
00:50:34,468 --> 00:50:38,171
'digging their own little hole
like a dog.'
725
00:50:38,238 --> 00:50:40,708
Interesting snapshot.
726
00:50:41,241 --> 00:50:44,546
Incident report
from a shift deputy.
727
00:50:44,879 --> 00:50:48,816
'Fire and explosion hazards,
inadequate ventilation,
728
00:50:48,883 --> 00:50:52,419
'inadequate leadership,
inadequate work standards.'
729
00:50:52,486 --> 00:50:54,689
That word again and again,
730
00:50:55,690 --> 00:50:57,457
inadequate.
731
00:50:57,525 --> 00:51:00,227
This is months before
the explosion.
732
00:51:00,294 --> 00:51:04,431
Gas sensors not working or
transmitting incorrect readings.
733
00:51:04,498 --> 00:51:07,434
Methane spikes reaching
explosive levels.
734
00:51:07,501 --> 00:51:10,137
This happened on more than
20 occasions.
735
00:51:10,203 --> 00:51:12,674
Fireballs shooting
out of the walls.
736
00:51:12,740 --> 00:51:15,910
These men are saying
over and over...
737
00:51:15,977 --> 00:51:18,278
'Do something. Do it now!'
738
00:51:21,983 --> 00:51:23,718
Hmm. Now,
739
00:51:23,785 --> 00:51:26,721
the fresh air base
that you mentioned
740
00:51:26,788 --> 00:51:31,091
after the first explosion as
a place of safety for the men,
741
00:51:31,158 --> 00:51:32,560
did it have a door?
742
00:51:32,627 --> 00:51:35,663
My understanding is
there was a door.
743
00:51:36,163 --> 00:51:40,500
And in this fresh air base,
there were self-rescuers?
744
00:51:40,568 --> 00:51:43,771
-As I understand it.
-And a first aid kit?
745
00:51:44,772 --> 00:51:46,206
As I understand it.
746
00:51:46,273 --> 00:51:48,776
As you understand it.
747
00:51:51,579 --> 00:51:54,782
Had you ever been in there?
748
00:51:56,183 --> 00:51:58,753
II never went into it, no.
749
00:51:58,820 --> 00:52:00,822
[murmuring]
750
00:52:06,995 --> 00:52:11,799
Here's what Daniel Rockhouse
found when he went into it.
751
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,603
He found an empty
shipping crate...
752
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:18,806
gaping open,
full of toxic smoke.
753
00:52:19,607 --> 00:52:23,544
No compressed airline, no water,
no self-rescuers.
754
00:52:23,611 --> 00:52:27,982
A place that had, in fact, been
decommissioned weeks before
755
00:52:28,049 --> 00:52:31,686
and contained nothing
that could sustain human life.
756
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,557
Despite all warnings...
757
00:52:37,391 --> 00:52:40,293
the worst that could happen
did happen,
758
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,563
and a desperate man
sought refuge.
759
00:52:43,363 --> 00:52:45,566
And this is what he found.
760
00:52:46,366 --> 00:52:48,569
[low, tense music]
761
00:52:51,371 --> 00:52:53,273
[door creaks open]
762
00:52:53,340 --> 00:52:55,543
-[water trickles]
-[pants]
763
00:52:56,544 --> 00:52:58,546
[sobs]
764
00:53:10,390 --> 00:53:12,560
Oh, here.
765
00:53:17,397 --> 00:53:19,600
-There you go.
-Much obliged.
766
00:53:21,401 --> 00:53:23,538
You were frickin' awesome.
767
00:53:23,604 --> 00:53:25,606
Mm.
768
00:53:34,381 --> 00:53:36,851
I hate driving when
it's like this. Just...
769
00:53:36,918 --> 00:53:39,721
Yeah. You can stay
in the bus if you want.
770
00:53:41,388 --> 00:53:43,356
-Want to?
-Oh, yeah.
771
00:53:43,423 --> 00:53:46,326
Come on. We'll have to
run for it, though.
772
00:53:46,393 --> 00:53:48,328
Oh. I don't really run.
773
00:53:48,395 --> 00:53:49,329
Aargh! Aah!
774
00:53:49,396 --> 00:53:51,331
-Aah!
-[cackles]
775
00:53:51,398 --> 00:53:54,902
-Aah! how far away is it?
-[laughs]
776
00:53:57,270 --> 00:53:58,606
Where's your man?
777
00:53:58,673 --> 00:54:01,374
-Home. He had to work.
-[toothbrush scrapes]
778
00:54:01,441 --> 00:54:03,376
What does he do?
779
00:54:03,443 --> 00:54:05,680
He's a soundie for bands.
780
00:54:06,279 --> 00:54:08,381
-He used to be a roadie. [spits]
-Oh.
781
00:54:08,448 --> 00:54:11,219
[water trickles]
782
00:54:11,284 --> 00:54:12,385
[spits]
783
00:54:12,452 --> 00:54:14,655
Milt loved music.
784
00:54:16,891 --> 00:54:18,626
He had a great voice.
785
00:54:18,693 --> 00:54:23,631
Him and Alisha used to do
YouTube karaoke. [chuckles]
786
00:54:23,698 --> 00:54:27,902
And at all the Fire Service
do's, he'd get up and sing.
787
00:54:28,703 --> 00:54:31,839
Yeah, he was
a volunteer fireman.
788
00:54:31,906 --> 00:54:33,941
[soft, ambient music]
789
00:54:34,307 --> 00:54:36,911
Big outdoor guy, but...
790
00:54:37,712 --> 00:54:40,848
he had a really soft side
to him too.
791
00:54:40,915 --> 00:54:42,917
He liked icing cakes.
792
00:54:43,718 --> 00:54:46,854
He sounds like such a nice guy.
793
00:54:46,921 --> 00:54:48,923
[music fades]
794
00:54:49,924 --> 00:54:51,926
He was my world.
795
00:54:53,928 --> 00:54:56,631
[rain patters outside]
796
00:54:56,697 --> 00:54:58,633
I nearly didn't go out with him.
797
00:54:58,699 --> 00:55:00,935
-No way. Really?
-Yeah.
798
00:55:01,301 --> 00:55:03,838
He asked me so many times,
799
00:55:03,905 --> 00:55:06,373
and I said, "No."
800
00:55:07,942 --> 00:55:09,544
[sighs]
801
00:55:11,579 --> 00:55:13,915
I worked in a pub, and...
802
00:55:14,715 --> 00:55:18,886
he used to come in. He knew
I had Wednesday afternoons off,
803
00:55:18,953 --> 00:55:21,488
and he just kept trying.
804
00:55:21,956 --> 00:55:23,423
Just...
805
00:55:24,759 --> 00:55:26,961
He was older than me, and...
806
00:55:28,328 --> 00:55:30,998
I thought...
807
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,704
I don't know what I thought,
but I just... I wasn't into it.
808
00:55:36,771 --> 00:55:38,940
-Mm.
-And then...
809
00:55:39,607 --> 00:55:41,341
one day, he said,
810
00:55:41,408 --> 00:55:43,343
"If you don't want to come,
811
00:55:43,410 --> 00:55:46,681
I will never ask you again,
but...
812
00:55:46,747 --> 00:55:49,684
please just go
for a drive with me."
813
00:55:49,750 --> 00:55:54,789
And, oh, I wasn't doing anything
else, so I said, "Okay." And...
814
00:55:55,189 --> 00:55:58,391
And when he showed up
at my house, he had this...
815
00:55:58,458 --> 00:56:00,728
little piece of paper
stuck to his chin
816
00:56:00,795 --> 00:56:03,731
where he'd cut himself
shaving... [laughs]
817
00:56:03,798 --> 00:56:07,935
'cause he'd been going so fast.
He didn't wanna be late.
818
00:56:08,002 --> 00:56:10,004
[chuckles]
819
00:56:10,504 --> 00:56:13,007
And I just-- I...
820
00:56:13,808 --> 00:56:18,012
I knew. I knew that afternoon
that I'd marry him.
821
00:56:25,987 --> 00:56:28,421
I won the lottery.
822
00:56:29,790 --> 00:56:31,993
He was the rock in our family.
823
00:56:32,994 --> 00:56:34,929
The best dad,
824
00:56:34,996 --> 00:56:37,698
the best husband.
825
00:56:37,765 --> 00:56:40,134
He nursed me through cancer.
826
00:56:44,171 --> 00:56:48,776
And I thought we'd get old
together, unless I went first.
827
00:56:53,514 --> 00:56:56,050
It's a real love story.
828
00:56:56,517 --> 00:56:58,152
Yeah.
829
00:57:00,855 --> 00:57:05,026
It must be terrible
losing a son, but...
830
00:57:05,826 --> 00:57:10,064
I reckon it's worse
losing a husband.
831
00:57:10,131 --> 00:57:13,634
No. Nothing's worse
than losing a child.
832
00:57:15,403 --> 00:57:17,638
[softly] Yeah. Oh...
833
00:57:20,207 --> 00:57:24,345
I'm sorry. I--
I shouldn't have said that.
834
00:57:24,412 --> 00:57:26,614
You can say whatever you want.
835
00:57:35,222 --> 00:57:38,192
There were numerous warnings
of a potential catastrophe
836
00:57:38,259 --> 00:57:42,129
at Pike River. In the drive
towards coal production,
837
00:57:42,196 --> 00:57:47,134
the company failed to meet their
responsibilities under the law
838
00:57:47,201 --> 00:57:52,606
and exposed their workers
to unacceptable risks.
839
00:57:52,673 --> 00:57:55,609
Every day, these men
walked into danger,
840
00:57:55,676 --> 00:57:57,912
and no one cried halt.
841
00:57:58,713 --> 00:58:01,649
The mine was new.
It was not fully built.
842
00:58:01,716 --> 00:58:05,653
Its health and safety systems
were not adequate...
843
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,924
[poignant, melancholic
string and piano music]
844
00:58:19,734 --> 00:58:22,603

[music softens]
848
00:58:52,466 --> 00:58:55,002
It's perfect.
849
00:58:55,403 --> 00:58:57,705
Okay, great.
850
00:58:57,772 --> 00:58:59,974
Let's mark it.
851
00:59:00,775 --> 00:59:02,977

Sonya?

[music fades]
855
00:59:25,032 --> 00:59:27,635
-Gidday, mate.
-Sorry, who are you?
856
00:59:27,701 --> 00:59:31,705
Helen Kelly.
I phoned you about Ben.
857
00:59:32,606 --> 00:59:34,241
Yeah.
858
00:59:34,809 --> 00:59:36,911
No, thanks.
859
00:59:40,815 --> 00:59:43,751
It was a workplace death.
860
00:59:43,818 --> 00:59:45,853
There should be compensation.
861
00:59:46,821 --> 00:59:50,991
-It's not about money.
-No, I know that, mate.
862
00:59:52,726 --> 00:59:54,995
[chairs continue thudding]
863
00:59:56,831 --> 00:59:59,500
Just in case
you change your mind.
864
00:59:59,568 --> 01:00:01,335
Don't want it.
865
01:00:12,847 --> 01:00:15,584
I don't want anything
to fucking do with it.
866
01:00:15,649 --> 01:00:17,151
-Why not?
-Cos she's a trade union
867
01:00:17,218 --> 01:00:19,787
shit-stirrer.
I've seen her on the telly.
868
01:00:19,854 --> 01:00:22,456
Protesting is
what it's called, eh?
869
01:00:22,790 --> 01:00:24,258
Yeah, well,
it pisses people off.
870
01:00:24,325 --> 01:00:26,794
-So?
-Ben wasn't even in the union.
871
01:00:26,861 --> 01:00:29,763
Right? He didn't even
sign a contract.
872
01:00:29,830 --> 01:00:33,667
-Are you kidding, Son?
-No, I'm not kidding!
873
01:00:37,071 --> 01:00:38,806
Fuck them.
874
01:00:40,741 --> 01:00:43,911
-Fuck them!
-Why don't you fight, Son?
875
01:00:43,978 --> 01:00:45,980
Hey? Instead of blowing off
the only person
876
01:00:46,046 --> 01:00:48,182
-who's ever tried to help ya?
-Well, she is not the one,
877
01:00:48,249 --> 01:00:50,184
and if she gets on to it,
then I'm just gonna look--
878
01:00:50,251 --> 01:00:51,986
-What are you afraid of?
-I'm gonna look like
879
01:00:52,052 --> 01:00:54,054
a big stroppy bitch
with my hands out!
880
01:00:54,121 --> 01:00:55,389
Right.
881
01:00:57,758 --> 01:00:59,326
Well, you're not.
882
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,295
Okay?
883
01:01:10,905 --> 01:01:13,073
[soft, pensive music]
884

01:01:32,927 --> 01:01:34,361
-What he's doing?
-Yeah.
886
01:01:34,428 --> 01:01:36,565
All care and no responsibility.
887
01:01:36,631 --> 01:01:38,866
-Exactly.
-Sorry. We're closed.
888
01:01:38,933 --> 01:01:41,335
Oh, uh, I don't want a drink.
889
01:01:42,803 --> 01:01:45,873
My husband used to work at Pike,
after it blew.
890
01:01:45,940 --> 01:01:49,877
helping the cops with the
underground cameras.
891
01:01:49,944 --> 01:01:52,146
What underground cameras?
892
01:01:53,914 --> 01:01:56,116
Don't say where you got it.
893
01:02:01,722 --> 01:02:03,123
[door opens]

[keyboard clacks]
896
01:02:10,965 --> 01:02:12,800
-No, no, wait. There.
-Hmm?
897
01:02:12,866 --> 01:02:14,501
There.
898
01:02:17,972 --> 01:02:20,174
Is that...?
899
01:02:20,975 --> 01:02:23,177
It's a man.
900
01:02:24,979 --> 01:02:26,847
Look at him.
901
01:02:27,915 --> 01:02:29,750
He could be sleeping.
902
01:02:30,818 --> 01:02:33,588
[low, uneasy music]
903
01:02:33,655 --> 01:02:34,822
[key clacks]
904
01:02:34,888 --> 01:02:36,524
What's that?
905
01:02:39,994 --> 01:02:42,196
It's not burned.
906
01:02:43,197 --> 01:02:45,199
Fuck this.
907
01:02:47,001 --> 01:02:48,936
[music continues]
908
01:02:49,003 --> 01:02:50,938
"Men are gone".
909
01:02:51,005 --> 01:02:53,207
Yeah, right.
910
01:02:54,008 --> 01:02:55,476
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
911
01:02:55,543 --> 01:02:57,211
Go back. Go back. Go back.
912
01:02:58,012 --> 01:02:59,780
Go in there.
913
01:03:05,886 --> 01:03:08,222
[low, eerie music]
914
01:03:14,028 --> 01:03:16,263
[sobs quietly]
915
01:03:21,902 --> 01:03:24,238
Hi, darling.
916
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,242
[sobs]
917
01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:30,244
Hi.
918
01:03:34,048 --> 01:03:37,418
[music builds slowly]
919
01:03:51,533 --> 01:03:54,736
[Bernie] The police had
these images from day one.
920
01:03:54,803 --> 01:03:57,037
Yeah.
921
01:03:57,104 --> 01:04:00,007
We were told "nothing but ash".
922
01:04:00,074 --> 01:04:03,277
-Yeah.
-Well, what's the story?
923
01:04:05,747 --> 01:04:08,482
First thing is I want to give
you absolute reassurance
924
01:04:08,550 --> 01:04:10,918
that we are committed
to getting the boys out.
925
01:04:10,984 --> 01:04:13,020
Nothing's ever changed
from that.
926
01:04:13,087 --> 01:04:15,022
Well, so what's the holdup?
927
01:04:15,089 --> 01:04:16,825
Is your government
with us or not?
928
01:04:16,890 --> 01:04:20,528
When people tell you that
we're not, I hate to say it,
929
01:04:20,595 --> 01:04:22,831
but they're really playing
with your emotions.
930
01:04:22,896 --> 01:04:26,033
You're the number one group
that wants to get those men out;
931
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:28,235
quite frankly,
I'm the number two.
932
01:04:28,902 --> 01:04:33,040
It's not an issue of money.
It's not an issue of time.
933
01:04:33,107 --> 01:04:35,275
We just wanna get them out.
934
01:04:35,342 --> 01:04:37,612
[applause]
935
01:04:39,146 --> 01:04:41,315
We've had promises before, John.
936
01:04:42,116 --> 01:04:44,118
We want action.
937
01:04:44,918 --> 01:04:50,157
Show me a plan for re-entry,
a safe and credible plan.
938
01:04:50,592 --> 01:04:52,893
Good. Thanks very much,
Prime Minister.
939
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,865
It is good to know that you're
behind us on this. Thank you.

Mum.
944
01:05:08,342 --> 01:05:09,844
Mum!
945
01:05:09,910 --> 01:05:11,945
Come quick.
946
01:05:15,182 --> 01:05:17,585
[on TV] Right, let's go
to Lloyd Burr live
947
01:05:17,652 --> 01:05:19,987
-from the Wellington newsroom.
-Almost a year since...
948
01:05:20,053 --> 01:05:21,455
Oh, fuck. Where's
the, um, thing?
949
01:05:21,523 --> 01:05:22,690
There.
950
01:05:22,757 --> 01:05:24,491
...it's just been announced
former Pike River
951
01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:27,629
Chief Executive Peter Whittall
is to face 12 charges
952
01:05:27,695 --> 01:05:29,096
under the Health and Safety Act.
953
01:05:29,163 --> 01:05:30,732
Families spokesperson
Bernie Monk says
954
01:05:30,799 --> 01:05:33,267
it's time those responsible
were made accountable...
955
01:05:33,333 --> 01:05:36,203
Oh, shit. they are gonna
take him down. [chuckles]
956
01:05:36,270 --> 01:05:39,106
...and he's looking forward
to seeing Mr Whittall in court.
957
01:05:39,173 --> 01:05:40,642
- Mr Whittall...
-[cell phone rings]
958
01:05:40,708 --> 01:05:42,844
-Oh, this is...
-...could not be reached
959
01:05:42,911 --> 01:05:45,345
for comment,
but it's understood
he will contest the charges,
960
01:05:45,412 --> 01:05:48,315
with a court date
likely to be late 2012.
961
01:05:48,382 --> 01:05:50,117
Yeah. Hi!
962
01:05:50,184 --> 01:05:52,119
Are you watching?
963
01:05:52,186 --> 01:05:54,221
Oh, fuckin' far out.
964
01:05:54,689 --> 01:05:58,158
They're gonna do it.
It's fuckin' happening.
965
01:05:58,992 --> 01:06:01,995
I know. I can't. I just, like...
966
01:06:02,062 --> 01:06:03,798
cannot believe...
967
01:06:04,164 --> 01:06:06,333
[remote thuds]
968
01:06:08,803 --> 01:06:11,238
[pensive, curious music]
969
01:06:29,022 --> 01:06:31,425

[music ends]
972
01:06:41,870 --> 01:06:45,439
Suck on that. Now they
have to go through with it.
973
01:06:49,276 --> 01:06:52,279
What the hell are you
playing at?
974
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,048
-What's wrong with it?
-Everything.
975
01:06:55,115 --> 01:06:57,819
It's homemade. It's aggressive.
976
01:06:57,886 --> 01:06:59,186
It's embarrassing.
977
01:06:59,253 --> 01:07:01,689
-I'm not embarrassed.
-To the government.
978
01:07:01,756 --> 01:07:03,490
They've given us
everything we want,
979
01:07:03,558 --> 01:07:06,661
and it looks like you're just
throwing it back in their faces.
980
01:07:06,728 --> 01:07:09,029
With respect, it's naive.
981
01:07:09,096 --> 01:07:10,230
Why?
982
01:07:10,297 --> 01:07:13,200
Because it's not the way
things are done.
983
01:07:13,267 --> 01:07:16,236
Well, I... wanna say how I feel.
984
01:07:16,303 --> 01:07:19,039
Well, say it to us,
over a drink.
985
01:07:19,106 --> 01:07:21,743
Not to some bloody paper
when we've got the ear of the
986
01:07:21,809 --> 01:07:24,746
Prime Minister, and he's giving
us the very thing we want.
987
01:07:24,812 --> 01:07:26,246
I'm pushing him.
988
01:07:26,313 --> 01:07:28,016
Men like that don't like
to be pushed.
989
01:07:28,081 --> 01:07:32,219
So, what, I'm supposed
to just sit at home knitting,
990
01:07:32,286 --> 01:07:34,889
-waiting for the phone to ring?
-Settle down. God.
991
01:07:35,289 --> 01:07:37,592
We've gotta work
with them, Anna.
992
01:07:37,659 --> 01:07:39,661
There's a lot going on
behind the scenes.
993
01:07:39,727 --> 01:07:44,231
Look, we've hired experts,
international people.
994
01:07:44,298 --> 01:07:48,235
They've made a plan. This,
all this, this is what it takes,
995
01:07:48,302 --> 01:07:52,774
not some pissy little sign
hanging from the bridge.
996
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,275
It feels like the only thing
I've done for Milt
997
01:07:55,342 --> 01:07:56,678
in two fuckin' years!
998
01:07:56,744 --> 01:07:58,513
Yeah, all right,
but you didn't ask!
999
01:07:58,580 --> 01:08:00,748
I didn't know
I had to ask, Bernie.
1000
01:08:00,815 --> 01:08:03,216
[Colin] It's the
family group, Anna.
1001
01:08:03,785 --> 01:08:06,054
A united voice.
1002
01:08:06,788 --> 01:08:09,524
Oh, just bloody
pull your head in.

-You kicked their bloody arses.
1006
01:08:33,982 --> 01:08:36,316
No, no. I got a growling.
1007
01:08:36,383 --> 01:08:39,119
Well, you set the wheels
in motion. That's what you did.
1008
01:08:39,186 --> 01:08:42,222
Yeah, but there's wheels
within wheels.
1009
01:08:45,727 --> 01:08:47,629
-They don't wanna do it.
-You getting

on this, are you?
1011
01:08:50,531 --> 01:08:52,867
You've gotta trust yourself.
1012
01:08:53,701 --> 01:08:56,904
-You know what you know.
-[Pete] Yeah.
1013
01:08:58,472 --> 01:09:01,509
There's good and evil
in this world.
1014
01:09:02,710 --> 01:09:05,913
And if you pay attention,
you'll know what's coming.

In the matter now
before the court,

the Department of Labour versus
Peter William Whittall,
1039
01:12:03,758 --> 01:12:06,493
a decision has been made
that this prosecution
1040
01:12:06,561 --> 01:12:08,763
is not going to proceed.
1041
01:12:09,564 --> 01:12:11,966
Mr Whittall is now
formally discharged
1042
01:12:12,033 --> 01:12:15,903
in relationship to all 12
charges before the court.
1043
01:12:17,071 --> 01:12:20,775
In consideration, Mr Whittall
has offered a voluntary payment

of $3.41 million
to the families.
1045
01:12:25,112 --> 01:12:28,481
The prosecution have provided
to the court all the names
1046

of the family members
and their bank account details.
1047
01:12:32,587 --> 01:12:35,523

Something good
will come of this.
1056

01:14:37,678 --> 01:14:42,717
-[cries, laughs]
-[giggles]
1062
01:14:42,783 --> 01:14:45,553
I'm... sorry, honey.
Granny's angry.
1063
01:14:45,619 --> 01:14:47,722
-[giggles]
-Ohh. [laughs]
1064
01:14:47,788 --> 01:14:51,491
Thank you for my cuddle.
I'm sorry, darling. I'm sorry.
1065
01:14:51,559 --> 01:14:53,728
-Come on.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
1066
01:14:53,794 --> 01:14:55,730
[sighs] I'm sorry.
1067
01:14:55,796 --> 01:14:59,800
[whimpers, pants]
1068
01:15:01,369 --> 01:15:03,503
[sighs softly]
1069
01:15:08,542 --> 01:15:13,848
[traffic whooshes distantly]
1070
01:15:24,291 --> 01:15:25,760
[door opens]
1071
01:15:25,826 --> 01:15:28,763
-Mate?
-[door closes]
1072
01:15:29,463 --> 01:15:32,233
Bloody hell.
1073
01:15:32,299 --> 01:15:33,901
Come here.
1074
01:15:36,103 --> 01:15:39,240
I was in the car when I heard.
I had to get off the road.
1075
01:15:39,306 --> 01:15:41,308
I couldn't-- I just...
1076
01:15:42,276 --> 01:15:44,278
Couldn't believe it.
1077
01:15:51,018 --> 01:15:54,188
Hundred ten grand
for my son's life.
1078
01:15:56,323 --> 01:15:58,192
[sniffles]
1079
01:16:01,128 --> 01:16:04,265
It's not even their money.
It's corporate insurance.
1080
01:16:04,331 --> 01:16:05,766
You're kidding.
1081
01:16:06,133 --> 01:16:10,905
No, you get killed on the job,
your boss gets a payout.
1082
01:16:14,875 --> 01:16:17,278
This is gonna kill people.
1083
01:16:19,847 --> 01:16:21,782
We can't deal with this.
1084
01:16:21,849 --> 01:16:24,051
You shouldn't have to.
1085
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,221
Do you wanna fight this?
1086
01:16:31,625 --> 01:16:33,528
How do you fight a judge?
1087
01:16:33,594 --> 01:16:37,064
[gentle, pensive piano music]
1088
01:16:40,401 --> 01:16:42,136
So, who is this guy?
1089
01:16:42,203 --> 01:16:45,339
A mate. He's happy
to work pro bono.
1090
01:16:45,406 --> 01:16:47,708
Oh, yeah? Is he shit?
1091
01:16:47,775 --> 01:16:50,579
Apparently,
he's 'frickin' awesome'.
1092
01:16:50,644 --> 01:16:51,712
Ohh.
1093
01:16:51,779 --> 01:16:53,981
Gidday, Nigel.
1094
01:16:54,381 --> 01:16:56,183
If I'm a bus driver,
1095
01:16:56,250 --> 01:16:57,718
and I'm drunk,
1096
01:16:57,785 --> 01:17:01,388
and I drive off the road
and kill my passengers,
1097
01:17:01,455 --> 01:17:03,991
let's say there's 29 of them,
1098
01:17:04,391 --> 01:17:06,093
I'm liable.
1099
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,797
My actions and decisions
led to that place,
1100
01:17:09,864 --> 01:17:13,901
and I'm charged with
dangerous driving causing death.
1101
01:17:14,468 --> 01:17:16,337
If I then say,
1102
01:17:16,403 --> 01:17:18,272
'Look,
1103
01:17:18,339 --> 01:17:21,375
"could I just pay some money
to the families
of the people I killed?"
1104
01:17:21,442 --> 01:17:23,144
Will that be sufficient?
1105
01:17:23,210 --> 01:17:27,448
"Do I really have to stand trial
for taking those lives?
1106
01:17:27,516 --> 01:17:32,419
Or can I offer my condolences
and a large wad of cash?"
1107
01:17:33,354 --> 01:17:36,357
There's only one right answer
to that question.
1108
01:17:36,423 --> 01:17:37,658
So...
1109
01:17:37,725 --> 01:17:40,562
-Okay, so it's winnable?
-It's a lay-down hand.
1110
01:17:40,629 --> 01:17:42,163
[chuckles]
1111
01:17:42,229 --> 01:17:46,700
-How long will it take?
-It's not a speedy process.
1112
01:17:46,767 --> 01:17:48,402
Maybe six months?
1113
01:17:51,438 --> 01:17:53,374
I might not be here.
1114
01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:55,376
Oh, stop it.
1115
01:17:55,442 --> 01:17:57,444
My cancer's back.
1116
01:18:05,786 --> 01:18:07,321
Why didn't you tell me?
1117
01:18:10,457 --> 01:18:12,193
I'm telling you now.
1118
01:18:14,295 --> 01:18:15,564
Um...
1119
01:18:16,163 --> 01:18:18,199
I think we--
I think we'll go, sorry.
1120
01:18:18,265 --> 01:18:21,402
We wouldn't have come if,
you know...
1121
01:18:21,468 --> 01:18:23,103
What kind of cancer?
1122
01:18:23,938 --> 01:18:26,907
Um, Hodgkin's.
It's in my lymph nodes.
1123
01:18:26,974 --> 01:18:29,310
Mine's in my lungs.
1124
01:18:29,843 --> 01:18:32,947
It's a bitch, eh?
I don't even smoke.
1125
01:18:34,114 --> 01:18:36,685
By the time they found it,
it was just everywhere,
1126
01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:38,953
spine, pelvis.
1127
01:18:41,755 --> 01:18:44,124
Are you having chemo?
1128
01:18:44,659 --> 01:18:46,460
Yeah, slow it down.
1129
01:18:46,528 --> 01:18:48,028
Can't stop it.
1130
01:18:48,762 --> 01:18:50,264
You?
1131
01:18:50,699 --> 01:18:52,701
Yeah, I'll do it.
1132
01:18:52,766 --> 01:18:53,702
I've got kids.
1133
01:18:53,767 --> 01:18:55,402
Me too.
1134
01:18:56,770 --> 01:18:58,973
You want all the days.
1135
01:19:04,111 --> 01:19:06,080
How-- How long have you got?
1136
01:19:07,682 --> 01:19:09,250
A year.
1137
01:19:09,684 --> 01:19:11,352
It's yours if you want it.
1138
01:19:11,418 --> 01:19:12,721
I have to warn you,
1139
01:19:12,786 --> 01:19:17,858
there could be a significant
cost to this if you lose.
1140
01:19:19,827 --> 01:19:21,563
What happens if we win?
1141
01:19:21,630 --> 01:19:23,797
A ruling in law...
1142
01:19:24,198 --> 01:19:28,737
that offering money in exchange
for justice is unlawful
1143
01:19:28,802 --> 01:19:31,005
and must never happen again.
1144
01:19:31,805 --> 01:19:35,142
In your names,
Osborne and Rockhouse.
1145
01:19:36,810 --> 01:19:38,747
Their names.
1146
01:19:38,812 --> 01:19:42,116
[fervent string music]
1147
01:19:47,221 --> 01:19:49,790
-Hey, Helen.
-Hi. This is Anna Osborne
1148
01:19:49,857 --> 01:19:52,393
-and Sonya Rockhouse.
-Yep, yep.
1149
01:19:52,459 --> 01:19:54,395
Okay.
1150
01:19:54,461 --> 01:19:56,196
[music ends]
1151
01:19:56,263 --> 01:20:00,167
We're here today for Milt
and Ben and all the men.
1152
01:20:00,234 --> 01:20:02,771
No one has been held accountable
for their deaths.
1153
01:20:02,836 --> 01:20:04,938
No one's even said sorry.
1154
01:20:14,848 --> 01:20:18,052
Um, that's just not good enough.
1155
01:20:18,553 --> 01:20:19,788
Okay. Come on. That's good.
1156
01:20:19,853 --> 01:20:23,490
-Uh, thank you very much.
-Thank you.
1157
01:20:23,558 --> 01:20:25,225
Oh, here we go.
1158
01:20:25,292 --> 01:20:28,663
Usual culprits.
Hello, Nigel. Leon.
1159
01:20:28,730 --> 01:20:32,299
[fervent music continues]
1160
01:20:44,713 --> 01:20:48,449
[Nigel] The families' interest
is accountability.
1161
01:20:48,516 --> 01:20:51,452
It's a curious position
maintaining innocence
1162
01:20:51,519 --> 01:20:56,290
but paying $3.41 million.
to have the charges dismissed.
1163
01:20:58,325 --> 01:21:01,730
In essence, the appellants are
putting forward a factual matter
1164
01:21:01,796 --> 01:21:05,933
relating to what we say
is a matter of considerable
1165
01:21:05,999 --> 01:21:08,402
public importance.
1166
01:21:08,469 --> 01:21:10,304
Can you tell this guy
to rack off?
1167
01:21:10,371 --> 01:21:12,339
-You're freaking 'em out, Tony.
-Rack off.
1168
01:21:12,406 --> 01:21:14,274
Great! Well, I can't use
that now, can I, Helen?
1169
01:21:14,341 --> 01:21:15,844
'Course you can.
It's a documentary.
1170
01:21:15,909 --> 01:21:18,445
At least that's what they say
it is. I think he's stalking me.
1171
01:21:18,513 --> 01:21:20,515
A documentary?
1172
01:21:26,954 --> 01:21:30,057
[low, eerie music]
1173
01:21:44,905 --> 01:21:46,340
[sighs quietly]
1174
01:21:46,407 --> 01:21:49,143
[fly buzzes]
1175
01:21:49,811 --> 01:21:53,147
-[sighs]
-[muffled laughter]
1176
01:22:01,922 --> 01:22:05,426
[moaning, creaking]
1177
01:22:05,926 --> 01:22:08,663
[tap squeaks, water runs]
1178
01:22:10,931 --> 01:22:12,232
[water turns off]
1179
01:22:16,036 --> 01:22:18,238
[whispers] See you later.
1180
01:22:19,039 --> 01:22:23,110
[water runs]
1181
01:22:29,551 --> 01:22:31,485
[Anna] This is new.
1182
01:22:32,821 --> 01:22:34,488
Not really.
1183
01:22:36,423 --> 01:22:39,293
You just haven't really
been here for it.
1184
01:22:44,064 --> 01:22:48,268
-Is he your boyfriend?
-Yes, Mum.
1185
01:22:51,972 --> 01:22:55,175
Well, I hope you're
being careful.
1186
01:22:57,978 --> 01:23:00,013
[quietly] Oh, my God.
1187
01:23:02,082 --> 01:23:04,184
[door slams]
1188
01:23:06,554 --> 01:23:08,188
[sighs]
1189
01:23:08,857 --> 01:23:10,558
[exhales firmly]
1190
01:23:20,067 --> 01:23:22,269
[birdsong]
1191
01:23:52,934 --> 01:23:56,203
[gentle, sombre music]
1192
01:24:01,275 --> 01:24:03,377
[on TV] The families
of the 29 miners killed
1193
01:24:03,443 --> 01:24:05,813
in the Pike River explosion
will learn this morning
1194
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,216
if their bid to have the mine
reopened has been successful.
1195
01:24:09,283 --> 01:24:12,020
The families have been fighting
to have the main entrance
1196
01:24:12,085 --> 01:24:15,890
to the mine reopened since
the explosions
almost four years ago.
1197
01:24:15,957 --> 01:24:18,091
-Hi, mate.
-Hi. Hi, darling.
1198
01:24:18,158 --> 01:24:19,727
Hi.
1199
01:24:21,361 --> 01:24:23,263
-You all right?
-Oh, yeah.
1200
01:24:23,330 --> 01:24:25,265
Sorry things didn't go your way.
1201
01:24:25,332 --> 01:24:27,267
Oh, we're gonna go again.
1202
01:24:27,334 --> 01:24:29,537
-Court of Appeal?
-Yeah.
1203
01:24:30,237 --> 01:24:32,272
Let us do the talking.
1204
01:24:32,339 --> 01:24:34,676
-What? Yeah.
-We'll do the talking.
1205
01:24:34,742 --> 01:24:36,343
Okay.
1206
01:24:39,313 --> 01:24:40,715
Thank you for coming
1207
01:24:41,114 --> 01:24:45,118
and for your patience during
what has been a lengthy process.
1208
01:24:45,185 --> 01:24:46,788
Certainly has.
1209
01:24:47,321 --> 01:24:49,256
We have considered your plan
1210
01:24:49,323 --> 01:24:53,061
and consulted independently
to reach our decision,
1211
01:24:53,126 --> 01:24:56,263
which is that we are not
prepared to re-enter the mine.
1212
01:24:56,330 --> 01:24:58,265
-Come on!
-Seriously?
1213
01:24:58,332 --> 01:25:01,168
-The plan was approved.
-By your people.
1214
01:25:01,234 --> 01:25:03,403
Our people had safety concerns.
1215
01:25:03,470 --> 01:25:05,272
-Over 600.
-No...
1216
01:25:05,339 --> 01:25:07,508
John, you gave your word.
1217
01:25:07,575 --> 01:25:09,409
At the end of the day,
it's not my call.
1218
01:25:09,476 --> 01:25:12,412
Oh, whose is it?
Whose call is it?
1219
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,414
This is my husband.
1220
01:25:14,481 --> 01:25:16,517
You said you'd bring him home.
1221
01:25:16,584 --> 01:25:18,753
The commitment was made,
Prime Minister.
1222
01:25:19,453 --> 01:25:22,389
[indistinct murmuring]
1223
01:25:24,157 --> 01:25:26,393
We understand
your disappointment.
1224
01:25:26,460 --> 01:25:29,396
-[indignant chatter]
-We have a proposal.
1225
01:25:29,463 --> 01:25:32,332
The Department of Conservation
is going to take over the mine.
1226
01:25:32,399 --> 01:25:35,703
The site will become
a national park.
1227
01:25:35,770 --> 01:25:38,506
-We have a suggestion.
-We will also establish
1228
01:25:38,573 --> 01:25:43,443
a Great Walk to the coast
for walkers and bikers...
1229
01:25:43,511 --> 01:25:46,146
as a memorial to your men
1230
01:25:46,213 --> 01:25:48,549
and an economic asset
to your community.
1231
01:25:48,616 --> 01:25:50,450
That's not a monument.
That's an insult.
1232
01:25:50,518 --> 01:25:52,620
What if we can get
a private company to do it?
1233
01:25:52,687 --> 01:25:54,656
Give us the mine.
We'll do the rest.
1234
01:25:54,722 --> 01:25:56,024
Let me be clear.
1235
01:25:56,090 --> 01:25:57,792
Re-entry is off the table.
1236
01:25:57,859 --> 01:26:00,995
The mine will be permanently
sealed. That's the reality.
1237
01:26:01,062 --> 01:26:03,598
We're offering an outcome
1238
01:26:03,665 --> 01:26:06,000
that will honour the miners.
1239
01:26:06,067 --> 01:26:08,002
No, no.
1240
01:26:08,069 --> 01:26:09,804
Milt...
1241
01:26:09,871 --> 01:26:13,007
wasn't a miner.
He was a contractor.
1242
01:26:13,074 --> 01:26:15,810
He was building that shithole...
1243
01:26:15,877 --> 01:26:19,847
but he hated it. And if you
think I'm gonna leave him there
1244
01:26:19,914 --> 01:26:22,249
to become part of
some tourist trap...
1245
01:26:22,315 --> 01:26:25,053
It's a two-day walk.
There's hut facilities.
1246
01:26:25,119 --> 01:26:26,420
Fuck your facilities.
1247
01:26:26,486 --> 01:26:27,922
Well, we didn't come here
to be sworn at.
1248
01:26:27,989 --> 01:26:32,126
And I didn't come here
to listen to this dribble.
1249
01:26:32,727 --> 01:26:36,864
You lot have played us
like a fuckin' violin,
1250
01:26:36,931 --> 01:26:40,835
and I'll be fucked if I'm gonna
sit here and listen to you
1251
01:26:40,902 --> 01:26:44,839
tell me that I should be happy
that thousands of people
1252
01:26:44,906 --> 01:26:48,042
are gonna walk over
my husband's grave.
1253
01:26:48,109 --> 01:26:50,044
I am not happy.
1254
01:26:50,111 --> 01:26:52,113
I will never accept it!

[flames whoosh, crackle]
1259
01:27:26,948 --> 01:27:29,884
Those cunts were 300 million
in the hole for a death trap
1260
01:27:29,951 --> 01:27:33,154
that never gave
one shipment of coal.
1261
01:27:33,955 --> 01:27:38,126
From the day it blew, all they
had was a grave full of our dead
1262
01:27:38,192 --> 01:27:41,129
and a bunch
of insurance policies...
1263
01:27:41,195 --> 01:27:42,930
worth 80 million.
1264
01:27:42,997 --> 01:27:47,334
Can't let a handful of fucked-up
families get in the way of that.
1265
01:27:48,202 --> 01:27:50,403
That's what it comes down to.
1266
01:27:52,206 --> 01:27:54,407
-Who are we?
-[Sonya] Yeah.
1267
01:27:55,576 --> 01:27:57,545
And who are they?
1268
01:27:58,746 --> 01:28:00,148
Cops.
1269
01:28:00,214 --> 01:28:01,716
Judges.
1270
01:28:02,449 --> 01:28:04,384
Fuckin' politicians.
1271
01:28:05,186 --> 01:28:07,387
Money men.
1272
01:28:08,189 --> 01:28:10,390

Don't say anything, then.
1280
01:29:00,074 --> 01:29:02,043
You could always see it coming.
1281
01:29:02,109 --> 01:29:03,711
I couldn't.
1282
01:29:05,313 --> 01:29:07,315
Come on, Son.
1283
01:29:08,115 --> 01:29:12,520
The bullshit and the pay-offs,
the hold-ups, all that--
1284
01:29:12,587 --> 01:29:14,354
Oh, fucking great!
You worked it out.
1285
01:29:14,421 --> 01:29:16,324
What do you want, a medal?
1286
01:29:16,389 --> 01:29:17,625
No.
1287
01:29:20,261 --> 01:29:23,898
No, I just want the woman
I used to know, that's all.
1288
01:29:28,202 --> 01:29:30,403
Well, she's dead.
1289
01:29:36,177 --> 01:29:38,112
I can't live with a dead person.
1290
01:29:38,179 --> 01:29:39,714
I do.
1291
01:29:42,049 --> 01:29:43,584
Every day.

-What, this shit?!

[sliding door opens, closes]

Look. They caved.
1303
01:30:53,486 --> 01:30:55,690
They took the track.
1304
01:30:57,525 --> 01:31:00,394
What was the alternative?
I don't know.

-They won't let us, Pete.
-Mm.
1308
01:31:11,339 --> 01:31:15,743
If you really meant it, you
wouldn't wait for permission,
though, would you?
1309
01:31:19,547 --> 01:31:21,749
What's that mean?
1310
01:31:23,351 --> 01:31:25,786
It means put up or shut up.
1311
01:31:42,169 --> 01:31:45,106
-Is there someone else?
-Are you kidding me?
1312

I could ask the same question,
couldn't I?
1313
01:31:47,375 --> 01:31:50,678
But there's at least two people
in line before me.

Feels good.

with the mo up there?

Oh, Spud Pizzato.
He's got a contracting firm.
1333
01:34:27,602 --> 01:34:30,104
He lost two guys at Pike.

got a job up there next week.

-Dunno.

know that we're down here.

we're here, okay? So...

01:50:41,142 --> 01:50:42,276
Whoo!
1583
01:50:42,343 --> 01:50:43,844
Fuckin' did it!
1584
01:50:43,911 --> 01:50:46,581
-You're shorter than I thought.
-He's only got two bottles!
1585
01:50:46,647 --> 01:50:48,583
Yeah.
1586
01:50:48,649 --> 01:50:50,084
-You drink champagne?
-Yeah.
1587
01:50:50,151 --> 01:50:52,186
All right. Get that down ya.
1588
01:50:52,253 --> 01:50:54,088
-Yeah, look at that.
-You did it.
1589
01:50:54,155 --> 01:50:56,357
-Wow.
-Look at that.
1590
01:50:58,092 --> 01:51:01,328
"We pledge not to supply
concrete to seal the mine.
1591
01:51:01,395 --> 01:51:02,796
We stand with Pike." Ohh.
1592
01:51:02,863 --> 01:51:05,065
Every concrete firm
on the Coast.
1593
01:51:05,534 --> 01:51:06,967
Wow.
1594
01:51:07,034 --> 01:51:08,903
I've been doing this stuff
for years. This just...
1595
01:51:08,969 --> 01:51:11,105
-doesn't happen.
-So why is it happening now?
1596
01:51:11,172 --> 01:51:13,741
'Cause you're driving it,
and people are with you.
1597
01:51:13,807 --> 01:51:15,142
The media is with you.
1598
01:51:15,209 --> 01:51:18,479
You're out in front,
and you've gotta stay in front.
1599
01:51:18,547 --> 01:51:20,080
So...
1600
01:51:20,414 --> 01:51:23,384
What happens now?
1601
01:51:23,450 --> 01:51:26,420
Think, um...
You know, think next level.
1602
01:51:26,487 --> 01:51:29,123
Today is one battle,
but it's not the war.
1603
01:51:29,190 --> 01:51:31,325
What does winning the war
look like?
1604
01:51:31,392 --> 01:51:32,493
Oh.
1605
01:51:32,561 --> 01:51:35,863
-Going back in.
-That's not gonna happen.
1606
01:51:35,930 --> 01:51:37,632
-Says who?
-Government.
1607
01:51:37,731 --> 01:51:41,268
So... next step,
to win the war...
1608
01:51:44,673 --> 01:51:46,373
Change the government.
1609
01:51:47,308 --> 01:51:51,378
-[laughter, chatter]
-Kath, Kath. turn it up?
1610
01:51:51,445 --> 01:51:54,148
[on TV] And more than
anything else, in my time here,
1611
01:51:54,215 --> 01:51:57,985
I've tried to stay straight and
true with New Zealanders.
1612
01:51:58,052 --> 01:52:01,188
For all of these reasons,
I told my cabinet
and caucus colleagues
1613
01:52:01,255 --> 01:52:04,191
today of my decision
to step down as Prime Minister.
1614
01:52:04,258 --> 01:52:06,260
-[cheering]
- I absolutely believe
that we can
1615
01:52:06,327 --> 01:52:08,462
- win the next election.
-Yeah, bugger off.
1616
01:52:08,530 --> 01:52:10,532
Good bloody riddance.
1617
01:52:10,998 --> 01:52:12,233
This has completely changed
1618
01:52:12,299 --> 01:52:14,168
the political landscape
in New Zealand.
1619
01:52:14,235 --> 01:52:17,171
John Key so critical
to National's success.
1620
01:52:17,238 --> 01:52:20,174
-This changes everything in...
-This is it.
1621
01:52:20,241 --> 01:52:24,445
-...New Zealand politics, Tom.
-Go now.
1622
01:52:25,614 --> 01:52:27,815
[gentle, pensive music]
1623
01:52:28,617 --> 01:52:30,818
[printer whirrs]
1624
01:52:33,787 --> 01:52:35,557
[chuckles]
1625
01:52:35,624 --> 01:52:38,325
[ringing tone]
1626
01:52:38,826 --> 01:52:41,061
Hello. Hi.
1627
01:52:41,128 --> 01:52:43,330
Yeah, it's Anna Osborne.
1628
01:52:43,998 --> 01:52:48,435
[gentle, pensive music
continues]
1629
01:53:01,650 --> 01:53:03,250
[door opens]
1630
01:53:03,317 --> 01:53:04,719
[door closes]
1631
01:53:05,185 --> 01:53:08,322
-Not out blockading roads?
-[chuckles quietly]
1632
01:53:10,391 --> 01:53:12,126
No.
1633
01:53:12,192 --> 01:53:15,396
We're going to Wellington
with this.
1634
01:53:21,435 --> 01:53:23,170
[sighs]
1635
01:53:23,237 --> 01:53:26,173
[reads] "We, the undersigned,
commit that a new government
1636
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:30,144
we are part of will act
immediately to safely re-enter,
1637
01:53:30,210 --> 01:53:32,413
fully recover, make safe...
1638
01:53:33,213 --> 01:53:37,151
and comprehensively investigate
the Pike River Mine drift."
1639
01:53:37,217 --> 01:53:40,421
We're asking every
opposition party to sign it.
1640
01:53:40,954 --> 01:53:42,890
On whose authority?
1641
01:53:43,324 --> 01:53:44,659
The families.
1642
01:53:45,159 --> 01:53:47,428
Twenty five have said yes.
1643
01:53:48,996 --> 01:53:51,198
Oh. Off you go, then.
1644
01:53:51,265 --> 01:53:53,934
You don't need my permission,
do you?
1645
01:53:55,235 --> 01:53:57,404
Well, that's not what
we're asking for.
1646
01:53:57,471 --> 01:53:59,406
What, then?
1647
01:53:59,473 --> 01:54:01,875
Come with us.
1648
01:54:01,942 --> 01:54:03,477
A united voice.
1649
01:54:14,455 --> 01:54:16,457
[softly] Go.
1650
01:54:22,463 --> 01:54:24,465
[engines whoosh]
1651
01:54:27,034 --> 01:54:29,970
After the latest polls
showed Labour's support
1652
01:54:30,037 --> 01:54:32,239
ebbing to historic lows...
1653
01:54:33,575 --> 01:54:35,643
[bright, fervent music]
1654
01:54:54,061 --> 01:54:57,264
[bright, fervent music
continues]
1655
01:54:57,599 --> 01:54:59,266
He's bailed. Quit the job.
1656
01:55:00,067 --> 01:55:03,203
Six weeks out from
an election? Who does that?
1657
01:55:03,270 --> 01:55:05,239
They were tanking in the polls.
1658
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,743
-So who's taken over?
-Jacinda Ardern.
1659
01:55:08,810 --> 01:55:10,944
-What, that-- that young chick?
-Yeah.
1660
01:55:11,011 --> 01:55:13,981
-Can we talk to her?
-Well, she's a bit busy.
1661
01:55:14,047 --> 01:55:17,117
Yeah, well, call her.
On the phone.
1662
01:55:17,184 --> 01:55:19,420
Tell her it's us.
1663
01:55:20,855 --> 01:55:22,089
All right.
1664
01:55:22,156 --> 01:55:23,490
[ringing tone]
1665
01:55:23,558 --> 01:55:25,159
I mean...
1666
01:55:26,694 --> 01:55:28,061
it's why we're here.
1667
01:55:28,128 --> 01:55:32,065
[fervent music continues]
1668
01:55:37,004 --> 01:55:39,239
Hi, how are you?
1669
01:55:39,306 --> 01:55:41,241
It's really nice to meet you.
1670
01:55:41,308 --> 01:55:43,243
It's lovely to meet you too.
I'm Sonya.
1671
01:55:43,310 --> 01:55:45,647
Nice to meet you. Take a seat.
1672
01:55:45,713 --> 01:55:47,782
Oh, hi.
1673
01:55:47,849 --> 01:55:50,451
[indistinct conversation]
1674
01:55:50,518 --> 01:55:51,653
[music continues]
1675
01:55:51,719 --> 01:55:54,488
So, you've had a chance
to have a look at this?
1676
01:55:54,556 --> 01:55:57,191
I got that email through,
and of course we'll sign.
1677
01:55:57,257 --> 01:55:59,761
Of course we'll sign.
1678
01:56:00,260 --> 01:56:02,931
We got the commitment signed.
1679
01:56:03,397 --> 01:56:05,900
If Jacinda leads
the next government,
1680
01:56:05,966 --> 01:56:08,168
she's gonna honour the pledge
1681
01:56:08,235 --> 01:56:11,840
and re-enter
the Pike River Mine.
1682
01:56:11,906 --> 01:56:13,974
[cheering, applause]
1683
01:56:15,209 --> 01:56:16,678
They haven't got a hope in hell.
1684
01:56:16,744 --> 01:56:19,681
[on TV] Jacinda Ardern
is making re-entry
1685
01:56:19,747 --> 01:56:22,449
of the Pike River Mine
a priority,
which may well help her
1686
01:56:22,517 --> 01:56:26,186
in the polls, with the election
just weeks away.
1687
01:56:26,754 --> 01:56:29,490
[on TV] Pike widow Anna Osborne
says the deal has been
1688
01:56:29,557 --> 01:56:31,893
nearly seven years
in the making.
1689
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:33,695
[knock at door, door opens]
1690
01:56:33,761 --> 01:56:36,997
-Oh, sorry.
-Oh, you're all right, love.
1691
01:56:37,866 --> 01:56:42,202
Whoa! Are they more of those
yummy choccies?
1692
01:56:43,905 --> 01:56:45,974
Oh, my God. It's you two.
1693
01:56:46,340 --> 01:56:49,209
-You're famous.
-[both laugh]
1694
01:56:49,611 --> 01:56:50,945
I doubt it.
1695
01:56:51,011 --> 01:56:52,246
Yeah, you're on the TV.
1696
01:56:52,312 --> 01:56:54,816
I know. It's amazing, eh?
1697
01:56:54,883 --> 01:56:56,918
You are.
1698
01:56:56,985 --> 01:56:58,920
-Aw.
-Aw.
1699
01:56:58,987 --> 01:57:00,922
[chocolates rustle]
1700
01:57:00,989 --> 01:57:03,190
Thanks.
1701
01:57:06,561 --> 01:57:08,295
That's so...
1702
01:57:08,362 --> 01:57:09,831
[laughs]
1703
01:57:09,898 --> 01:57:11,198
...weird, isn't it?
1704
01:57:11,265 --> 01:57:13,300
-Yeah!
-Just people...
1705
01:57:13,367 --> 01:57:15,937
talking to us like they know us.
1706
01:57:16,004 --> 01:57:19,941
-Well, they do, kind of.
-No, they don't.
1707
01:57:20,008 --> 01:57:22,010
Yeah, they do, cos we, like...
1708
01:57:22,610 --> 01:57:25,947
we really put ourselves
out there, you know?
1709
01:57:26,014 --> 01:57:28,215
We spilled our guts.
1710
01:57:29,216 --> 01:57:32,219
Yeah, but that's not who we are.
1711
01:57:33,253 --> 01:57:35,455
I don't show who I really am.
1712
01:57:37,224 --> 01:57:39,426
I know who you really are.
1713
01:57:44,231 --> 01:57:46,433
You're like...
1714
01:57:49,236 --> 01:57:50,504
You're like...
1715
01:57:50,572 --> 01:57:54,742
the exact opposite
of what you look like.
1716
01:57:55,242 --> 01:57:57,210
You know, like,
you look all soft,
1717
01:57:57,277 --> 01:58:00,480
and people wanna take care
of you, but...
1718
01:58:06,286 --> 01:58:09,489
they don't see that strength
that's in you.
1719
01:58:10,290 --> 01:58:12,492
That amazing strength.
1720
01:58:14,294 --> 01:58:17,532
And I'm the complete
other way around.
1721
01:58:17,932 --> 01:58:19,466
I look hard.
1722
01:58:20,267 --> 01:58:23,470
I'm like, "I don't take
any shit," but I...
1723
01:58:27,274 --> 01:58:30,210
I don't have that thing
inside me.
1724
01:58:30,277 --> 01:58:32,212
I don't...
1725
01:58:32,279 --> 01:58:36,216
I don't have that self-belief,
that thing...
1726
01:58:36,283 --> 01:58:40,153
that you've got cos Milt
loved you so much.
1727
01:58:41,321 --> 01:58:43,123
You know?
1728
01:58:52,165 --> 01:58:56,704
You know, I would have given up
a long time ago
if it hadn't been for you.
1729
01:58:57,337 --> 01:58:59,741
Oh, same.
1730
01:59:02,076 --> 01:59:04,244
You're the good thing.
1731
01:59:04,311 --> 01:59:06,514
You're the good thing.
1732
01:59:08,315 --> 01:59:10,518
We're the good thing.
1733
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:15,523
-Eh?
-Yeah.
1734
01:59:17,558 --> 01:59:20,293
Yeah.
1735
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,563
[gentle, poignant piano music]
1736
01:59:27,568 --> 01:59:29,570
[kisses]
1737
01:59:32,140 --> 01:59:34,575
[music continues]
1738
01:59:35,375 --> 01:59:37,578
[cell phone rings]
1739
01:59:39,379 --> 01:59:42,550
Hi, sweetheart. Where are you?
1740
01:59:45,119 --> 01:59:46,688
No.
1741
01:59:46,754 --> 01:59:48,923
[gentle, poignant piano music
continues]
1742
01:59:50,958 --> 01:59:53,861
[on TV] There's now less than
an hour to go before polling
1743
01:59:53,928 --> 01:59:57,031
in the 2017 general election
closes.
1744
01:59:57,098 --> 01:59:59,934
After one of the most
exciting races in years,
1745
02:00:00,001 --> 02:00:02,737
unprecedented numbers
voted early,
1746
02:00:02,804 --> 02:00:05,238
but special votes
to be counted within two weeks
1747
02:00:05,305 --> 02:00:07,274
could be crucial.
1748
02:00:07,340 --> 02:00:10,545
Well, Mike McRoberts
is at SkyCity...
1749
02:00:16,349 --> 02:00:20,555
[poignant music continues,
builds slowly]
1750
02:00:59,392 --> 02:01:01,596
[poignant music continues]
1751
02:01:11,739 --> 02:01:13,373
My girl.
1752
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,710
She's my girl.
1753
02:01:17,477 --> 02:01:19,647
[whispers] She's so tiny.
1754
02:01:19,714 --> 02:01:21,816
-I know. [gasps softly]
