Who scared the wallaby?

Now, son.

You're scaring the animals away.

What are we going to eat?

Just watch and learn.

One day your time will come

to be a hunter.

Okay son?

Hey, you hungry?

Bush plums. Keep you going.

I want this spear.

No, this is mine.

I am the snake. Baywara.

I strike like lightning.

My name is Baywara.

I am the snake.

And you.

Your totem is the crocodile.

Your name is Gutjuk, means hawk.

This is your dance.

It's okay.

Please help us.

Station men are chasing us.

It's okay, they're friendly.

Why is Gutjuk in such a hurry
to grow up?

He only wants to be with the men.

Gutjuk, come here.

Wallaby's ready to eat.

Sit down with your mother.

He needs to learn his place.

Gutjuk, come back.

Station owners got the police
because we killed a cow.

Tell them it's okay
We don't want it, okay?

I understand. You may stay.

But only for one night.

I don't want trouble for my family.

What are we waiting for?

Nobody else will shoot,
Okay?

Yeah, I'm here, Eddy.

What are you doing?

Watch him, Eddy.

It's our land we should fight.

How far away are they?

I think we lost them.

Baywara. Stop.

God!

What are you saying?

What are you telling me?

I'll come back.

Breathe through here.

That's good.

Stay under. I'll be back.

Did I shoot him?

And whoever lives,

will never die.

I am the resurrection.

Turn your head.

And my light.

Turn your head.

And the one who lives, believes in me
whoever it is,

will never die.

Passed. I held you.

Slow down. Calm down.

What are you doing?

Get that damn thing.

Nothing.

All good.

Can you look at him

Come on, buddy.

Get.

Did you hold?

Where is his family

What happened?

Travis, are you okay?

Yes.

Nothing. Come on.

What will we say to Moran?

The three of us have to be one.

Braddock.

Sit down.

I think we can tell him what happened.

OK.

Mcguinness

The blacks that burned it
about killing

He was talking to everybody around here.

To get a bullet in someone
was dying.

It just popped up.

He fired at anything that moves.

This was going to be an expedition in peace.

My friend, it was total chaos.

Who fired first?

Why does this matter?

It does.

They died.

The main thing is,
we act together.

I do not lie.

So are you blaming me?

Is it my fault? That is all.

Is that what happened?

17 dead.

John.

Children.

Come on.

Claire.

My brother is in a mess.

You had the responsibility.

You can tell Moran whatever you want.

I won't stay for this.

My children, my family.

Who did this to my family?

Wak Wak, my beautiful daughter.

My beloved daughter.

Baywara my son, look at me.

You'll be okay.

I will heal you.

Okay, let's go buddy.

The little one.

Travis. Police coming.

Okay.

Moran. What does he want

OK, crash.

Crumble, both of you collapse.

Sit down.

History makers to record it.

it is their responsibility.

That's it.

Don't move.

It's done. Beautiful.

You came for a reason.

What?

It started a few months ago.

Some black cunts
It burned down and it was ruined.

They killed the animals,
They burned the farms.

Galbay. Get that water here!

Hang on. I came.

They call them wild gangs.

People gathered from everywhere.

Get them together a man
collected. Baywara.

A handful out, fugitives.

Get the horses!

The scum is everywhere.

The wild mob. They're here.

Where are those scum?

Shoot, shoot.

Those black assholes
will pay for it.

A few weeks ago
They crossed the line.

They killed a white woman.

Why is that? There's always a reason.

This is Baywara from your shit
of those who survived.

Same stone spear.

Since you left us

There are many eyes above us from the south.

Commissioner this gang
large diameter for download

He will punish him with a discovery.

If Baywara gains strength
I don't need to tell you what will happen.

Maybe the truth will come out.

The facts are funny.

Does it come out?
And questions follow.

Like how two men

Found with your two bullets?

Fortunately officials,
to solve this situation

We've been able to convince there are other ways.

Eddy.

It's just you and me
We'll take track of it.

Baywara entering quietly
and we'll take down his gang.

That you don't always mind

and from that
Don't say you don't want to get rid of it.

And shoot it
Are you saying that will provide this?

If I shoot you both right now

I think I would be more comfortable.

I will give you a humorous side to it.
I said he would find it.

I'm not kidding.

Boy, we war
staying together

We survived trusting each other.

Now we'll get through this together.

Help.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Baywara. He's my uncle.

Go on, spear me.

You can tell my uncle
you killed his nephew.

Leave him.

Uncle?

Gutjuk?

Welcome.

House after house

You who buy land on land,
Everyone else got kicked out of there

when you live alone on a large land
what pain you will suffer.

A white woman
We're talking about his murder.

Tommy has nothing to do with this gang.

It's a new farm.
He was helping too.

He's a good boy.

John, why should we talk to him?
You understand it must.

Thank you.

Who is the child?

He's the kid you brought out of the stream.

Do you talk to me
did you ask sir?

- That's right. Tommy, right?
Yes sir

To me about the fire
If you tell me what you know

I let you breathe

Sounds nice?

Come on son.
Everyone knows something.

Eddy.
One second.

You're with the gang, aren't you?

You took them to That farm.
Eddy!

Tell me what you know.

Let him go, Eddy!

Leave!

Get your goddamn hands off me.
Get out!

What's wrong with you?

Damn it.

Good thing you took it quietly.

You will kill my uncle.

Look, it's up to you.

Do you know where?

If I could help you find
what are you going to do?

Would you keep him safe?

I will do my best.

I can say that much.

He knows more than he says.

So with them.
Yes.

And your shit is a trap
will you let it drag

If his mind is there maybe
He doesn't see what I'm doing.

What is that?

Using it as bait.

I'll talk to Braddock.

With his brother too.

Where do you want me to put it?

Just put it on the table.

It was my idea to bring you here
you know, right?

Yes, I guessed it.

Our fault.

Do you see that?
Is it our fault?

Yes it is.

Then why for this boy
Are you letting me go?

I don't make the same mistake twice.

This is a ridiculous idea.

Tommy is not a stalker.

And knowing where the gang is
I doubt it.

He doesn't say that.

And you believe him.

Of course we pay for the mission.

To finally finish the church
I help you.

You bring more people.

No.

This is not your decision,
isn't it?

They went for it.

Go to Baywara.

Tell him I'm bringing the police
out to him.

- Okay?
- Yes, I heard you.

I was gonna come and find you.

I know.

Look after yourself.

It's their war not yours.

Don't trust them.

If something happens to him

I'd better not see your face again.

Take off that saddle.

It'll be just you and me.

Where do you think you're going?

You don't need me here.

Of course there is.

What do you think he will do there?

Travis' sense of duty,
there is no consciousness of loyalty.

It is a problem.

Why just you and me?
Don't you worry?

No.

So what's your name?

- Tommy, sir.
- It means Tommy. Bullshit.

Is that the name your mother gave?

Not my mom.

Where are we g oing?

I thought you were the tracker.

What will happen when we find him?

We' are going to convince him to come in .

How do we do that?

That's why you're here.

Tea is too weak.

Another fella coming.

What is he doing here?

Do you have a problem with Walter?

I can handle with Travis myself.

I don't need that halfcast bastard.

Eddy, that is not the way to talk about an
officer.

Give me a couple of days.

Half a dozen that won't say a word
I'll get the guy.

- Son ...
- And I can figure It out.

We tried your way.

Walter makes no mistake.

Walter!

Bad fella that one.

Queensland native policeman.

He kills his own.

He's watching me.

Gutjuk.

It means falcon.

My name is Gutjuk.

It's good to know.

What are we doing here?

When you're high

You control everything.

Take a look.

- What do You see?
- Getting closer.

Yes it is.

Now, if we are going to work together,

You better learn how to shoot.

Yeah, okay.

Did you understand? Lie face down.

Spread your feet.

Stay steady, okay?

Constant. Yeah, behind
leaning against your shoulder.

Keep calm.

Get him up.

Give the bullet to the barrel.

This is it.

Now pick something.

And shoot.

Damn it. Too noisy.

Yeah, come on dear.

This time, stay calm.

Give the bullet to the barrel.

That's it.

OK. Breathe slow and
Gently pull the trigger.

God.

This was very good.

Was very good.

When it's high,

when to hit
you can check it.

I saw someone from the gang there.

To save your uncle's life
You have one chance right now.

When I'm in control.
Do you understand?

Where is she?

You know.

Damn it.

Do you think he knows we're here?

Are you afraid

In queensland
I thought it would be braver.

I ran into that Travis.
One time.

I'm afraid I'm not stupid.

Our doubts betray us
Walter.

He on the hill Eddy?

Did he come to kill my uncle?

No, I think he's here for us.

Friend of you?

He was my scout in the war.

He would choose goals,
I would download it too.

Yes. So...

Bush plums.

It is a good food source.

I was used to that in the war.

I'll save it for later. Get.

I thought the war was over.

My uncle Baywara,
he was my teacher.

I think if he had a chance
It would be a different type of man.

How anyone will be

I don't think you got a choice.

Fuck you go.

The smell of it
They take it from far away.

How is it here for so long
you survived

With my wit.

I think they rose up.

- They took action.
- So?

So stop here
It makes no sense.

- Your friend ...
- He's not my friend.

Then why not catch up to him
are you so scared

Have you ever seen how he fired?

I say that too.

I think I'll have a piss.

To look at a situation
There are many ways, Walter.

Is that so?

One is your way.
Black man way.

To me this is imprudent and
there is no certainty.

As a former soldier I'm certain
I believe he's the lock.

Sure, to black man bullshit
once in a while we can count on.

But in the moment of encounter,
at the moment of contact,

Without wise military planning
Nothing works.

Travis.

Walter.

Where's tommy

Tommy, I know you're here.

Don't show up or he'll die.

You don't care, Eddy.

Tommy!

You can't do that.

What the hell are you doing?

Nobody will come back, said Moran.

Move to the right.

Damn black shit.

Tell Moran when you return
The plan has changed.

Now I do things my way
i will.

So why would he do this?

Because to watch my back
you didn't come, did you?

I don't want to hit you again
Walter.

So get out of Queensland
turn back.

It's you

OK.

Drop it, Eddy.

Get it, Eddy.

Leave.

Take his gun.

Keep your eyes on him.

I got him. He's no trouble.

He's old and slow.

Short and fat.

He has hair like a woman.

Are we going out again?

I'm waiting for a man.

You're waiting for a man.

When will they come?

You know, in this war,

Have you ever fired?

Do you know what the scout does?

You just don't find the target.
You certify you're dead.

You watch her head explode.

You see the pool of blood
dead staring eyes.

You have to remember that, Walter.

It is Travis who is good among us.

Gutjuk you did well.

You're finished with the mission.
Your life starts now.

Yes. Okay.

Where are we going?

Your grandfather's country.

What are you going to do with him?

I think he's a good man.

Don't worry.

If I wanted your friend dead
I would have killed him back there.

Is she your woman?

She's nobody's.
Too wild that one.

Your son's mob are coming.

Is that your grandson?

There's a white man.

Why did you bring him here?

We can use him to bargain.

I don't want anything to do with this.

Father, you said if I was in trouble
you would help me.

Not when you do something like this.

Then let's cut him to pieces.

No. This madness stops now.
Take me to him.

I guess you're in trouble.

Shut up.

You've got a big nose.

I don't care. I just want him dead.

Grandpa, do you have any power
wants to know.

Is that your grandfather?

Yes.

What does he want?

It is up to him to judge his son.
Not for you.

His son's gang killed a woman.

He will not give you his son.

Then your whole family
It's putting it in danger.

But if it comes with you
will his family be safe?

I do not know. I do not know.

I do not think so.

He wants to talk to your boss.

OK. Yes, I can do that.

I have to get my gun back.

Give him back his gun.

I don't like this idea.

You can't trust them.
You know what they did.

I want you to look after this place.

We need to make peace.

You're going to get him killed.

You understand?

You're a mission boy
pretending to be a man.

You don't know what you're doing.
You're weak.

You're all weak.

Cowards.

Cowards who talk when they should fight.

You're going on the word
of a white man?

And a mission boy?

You don't speak for me.

- Be careful.
- Yes, sir.

I heard nobody accepted.

With this gang around everyone
He's afraid to send his men.

Is there anything else I can do?

So I got rifle training

and I spent two months in Alice Springs.

Rifle training?
I'll tell you what you can do.

Go there, grab a rifle,
go east about a mile and a half

and be our watcher,
like an eagle.

I can do that.

My nephew.

Ok, everyone directly
look at the camera.

Don't move.

Look straight into the camera.

Don't move.

Now.

For guarantee
one more.

What the hell have you done?

I speak some of your language
so I can translate for you.

Are you the woman
who raised my grandson?

My brother and I.

Thank you. But my grandson
can speak for me.

See this crown on the badge?

He represents the king.

King of the British Empire.

And I'm attached to
it's their laws.

See the shiny thing on his hat?

Makes him think he's boss.

For my grandfather, uncle
He came to bargain.

For Baywara.

I'm not here to bargain.

Look, your uncle broke the law.

From what laws
He asks what you mentioned.

What?

This is my life.

It comes from the ground. Mother nature.

You came from beyond the sea.

My laws are perfect.
Consistent.

It makes us one.

Baywara is his son.
Those judgments, not you.

Makarrata. Get the balance.

I understand the balance.
But in this country ...

In my country.

In this country...

... we all follow the same laws.

Now, fairly to your son Baywara
behave

I'll be sure.

This is called justice.

Are you for justice?

Of course.

Then to the man who killed my family
do this justice.

My uncle didn't start this.

You started it.

Do we respect your laws?
do you want

Give us justice too.

Look, I'm not a politician.

I just follow the law.

What you want
It's not my decision.

I have people I have to talk to.
What I have to persuade.

Did you understand?

And surrender your son,
it helps.

The gang raided Kurtz's farm.
There are two dead.

Your damn boy and his gang
He raided another farm.

Baywara just attacked another station.

Our conversation is over.

Damn it.

We all have to go.

We need to look after our own.

We have to find Baywara
and warn him.

No. He's brought this on himself.

Families come. We go home now.

We need to look after the land,
ourselves and our children.

Trouble is coming.

If all goes well,
you will not see me again.

German. This is Mauser G98.

It must be way better than ours.
It is light.

Get out.

Is Moran leaving you?

Yes. He's actually paying an advance.

While here
They can't blame me, can they?

You know what to do.

And will you allow this?

I didn't say I would make it easier for them.

I took the preacher's old gun.
Be careful.

Where are the others bitch?

- Just relax a little bit?
- Stupid bitch.

Morley. Morley, for God's sake.

What?

Take it easy, son. I know you.

You are one of your men on duty.

Tommy. That's his name.

Why to a white man
You're pointing a gun, Tommy?

Without giving our heads a business
Won't I even wipe my ass?

Don't watch.

No, please, please.

I don't want their water.

You pretending to know
what you're doing?

You stay on the high ground,
you see everything.

You think like a white man.

These were good guys.

Did you get it?

Yes.

This is where they killed my family.

Baywara, we can't wait for her
any longer.

We wait.

She's one of us.

How many are coming?

Maybe four.

Let them come.

They send men
and we'll send them back ghosts.

No. If we fight them when they're ready
we lose.

We need to run and make a plan.

We need to have control.

You don't tell me what to do.

Listen to him.

What have you got to say?

That man, Travis.

He was a soldier.

He told me control is everything.

Okay.

And he taught me this.

Are you a crazy child?

What are you doing?

I'm just explaining to him.

You think you know everything?

Twelve years, and the one thing
I learned for sure,

about the men who killed my family.

They were soldiers.

Understand?

Travis!

Hey! You are done.

Come here.

You did it.

We should talk about your choices, buddy.

I guess that says it all.

People will look at that photo
and they will say

When a rabid dog is put to sleep
it looks like this.

How to build a civilization,
do you know son

The bad guys.

Bad guys doing bad things,

for others to follow
clears the road.

They are like me and you.

You can also change who you are.
why did you think?

You broke my heart, son.

Relax.

Gather your strength.

If we try to hang a dead man
we look stupid.

Isn't it?

Are you going to follow
your uncle's path?

This stone.

This stone is the spear head.

It is the rule of law.
It cannot be undone.

Hardest stone there is.

I want this spear.

No, this is mine.

Baywara could've been
our greatest teacher.

But he lost all that to his anger.

Understand?

We didn't help him.

You need to listen to the wind.

Listen to father sky.

Listen to mother earth.

To what she is telling you.

Walk softly.

Stay here. Protect yourself.

You can't follow your uncle's path.

I used to work at a station.

I cooked food and cleaned the floor.

Boss man thought he owned me.

I was a girl ... just a little girl.

I told my family.

He killed them all.

He gave me to his men.

I know how it feels to be beaten.

To feel like nothing.

That's why you have to stay angry

and keep fighting.

Your anger is all you have.

He's dead, isn't he?

If he died, he would return here

to gather more men
they wouldn't work.

Do not worry. To come to him
will not wait.

Claire.

Are you going after Tommy?

He's a murderer.

What you started 12 years ago
to finish?

A country is not shared, Claire.

People way over there.

Fires burning.

See them?

They might be police.

- Let's go to them.
- Yes, let's go.

Let's go down,
see where those fellas are sitting.

Good Morning.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Bullets.

Throw them on the fire.

Damn it.

God!

They came! They came! The gang is here!

Ammo!

Kill them all.

- Uncle Brett, Uncle Brett!
Come in.

Keep an eye on Travis.

- Where are You going?
- I'm going with them.

It's not a good idea, John.

For killing all the scum
make sure this time.

Keep your eyes open.

Son, you'll see war soon.

It's not fair.

No!

Bruce!

Don't move, old man.

Stop or I'll shoot him.

Put down your gun.

Quickly.

On your knees.

Tommy.

Where's Travis?

Eddy!

Damn crazy ones. Take cover!

Damn it!

- Let's.
- Tommy!

What are you doing? Put the gun down.

- You too.
- They shoot you.

You're making a big mistake, kid.

These guys
You know who you are.

Son.

What he did to my family.

I'm the second top official ...

Shut up.

Please Tommy.

My name is Gutjuk.
You killed my family.

Say it!

You don't want to do that, my friend.

Son, you need to be calm.

Shut up old man.

Finally.

Slow down.

Calm down.

Say goodbye to black pi ...

Joyful. Go.

Travis!

No Eddy.

- Leave!
- Throw It, Eddy.

Give it up, Travis.
If you shoot me, I'll shoot him.

I won't download you right now
why do you think?

Look at it! This black shit,
because he cares about himself

you care more!

God knows why.

Download it!

- No!
- Shut up. On Your knees.

You have to go.

Gutjuk.

Gutjuk.

You have to go.
