who torched him want to kill.

The bastard was mad to give you a bullet.

Came out of nowhere and just shot at everything

what moved.

That was planned as peaceful expedition.

Man it was a mess.

Who shot first?

What role does that play?

It matters.

They are dead.

The only important thing is that we act as a unit.

I will not lie.

Does that mean you give blame me?

Is it all my fault? Just mine

Is that what you mean

Okay, get down with you.

Come on, both of you. Down. OK then.

It's the responsibility of those who make history

record these too.

Stay like that.

OK.

Finished.

Well.

You're from one certain reason here. For what?

It did a couple of years ago Months.

A bunch of black ones Bastards devastated everything.

The cattle killed lit fire everywhere.

Galbay, bring this Water over here!

Are you waiting! Here!

They are called the wild gang.

They come from everywhere.

One man has them all brought together.

Baywara.

A bunch of savages, fugitives. The bastards are everywhere.

The wild gang! You are here!

Go on, go on, go on!

Those black bastards will pay for it!

Go Go go! Go on, go on, go on!

Two weeks ago are they have gone too far.

You have a white one Woman killed.

Why?

There is always a “why”.

This Baywara is a Survivor from your mess.

The same stone spear.

Since you joined us in Let down

they watch us out very attentive to the south.

The Commissioner speaks of a large-scale punitive expedition,

around this gang Bring judgment.

you can imagine what happens

if this Baywara gets a vote.

Maybe come then get the truth out.

Is such a thing with the truth. Once it's out, it's out.

And she raises questions on.

For example:

How are your balls back then landed in two whites?

Fortunately we could who convince up there

that there are other ways to settle this matter.

Eddy?

We'll both do it alone.

We track them down approach us quietly

and eliminate Baywara and his gang.

Don't tell me that that doesn't haunt you.

That you don't want to have off the neck.

And I have to just shoot him?

I think i would be better off If I shot you both off

I tell you, he sees the whole thing with humor.

That was not a joke.

Boy,

we survived the war because we stuck together.

Trusted us.

And we will do this also survive. Together.

You'll bleed for that!

Who are you?

What do you want?

Baywara. He is my uncle.

Come on, spear me.

Then you can tell my uncle that you killed his nephew.

Leave him alone!

Uncle?

Gutyuk?

Gutjuk.

Welcome.

Woe to those who one Bring house to the other

and one field to another move until there is no more space

and you alone own the land.

We're talking about murder here of a white woman.

Tommy has nothing to do with this gang.

The ranch is new. He has there helped. He is a good boy.

John, we have to go with him talk. You know, why.

Thank you.

Who is the boy?

This is the boy you pulled out of the pond.

You wanted something from me, sir?

-Correct. Tommy, right? -Yes, sir.

You tell me now what you know about the fire

and maybe I'll let you then keep breathing. Does that sound good to you?

Come on boy everyone knows something.

Eddy.

Hang on! You belong to the gang, right?

And you have your friends led to the ranch, right?

Eddy!

Damn tell me what you know!

Stop it Eddy!

Stop it!

Go down! Get off me!

What's wrong with you?

Damn shit. So much to avoid causing a stir.

Will you kill my uncle?

It all depends on you.

Do you know where he is

If I help you, he too what do you do then?

Will you protect him?

I do my best.

That's all I can do.

Come here, take it easy.

He knows more than he does can be noted.

So he's on their side?

Yes.

And you let go of that lure little bastard into the trap?

If he focuses on it, notice he maybe not what I'm up to.

And that would be?

I will call him Use bait.

I'm talking to Braddock

and his sister.

You know it's my idea was to bring you in, right?

Yes I thought so.

Our mistake.

Is that how you see it? Our mistake?

Yes, that's how I see it.

And why are you grabbing me then because of this boy?

I will be the same Don't make mistakes twice.

It's an absurd idea.

Tommy is not a tracker.

And I doubt he will either just has a clue where the gang is.

He says something else.

And do you believe him?

The mission station will of course be compensated.

So you can use this church maybe finally finish building.

Then definitely come more people too.

No.

You actually have that not even to decide.

You took a bite.

Go to Baywara.

Tell him i'm the Bring the police to him.

Yes.

All right?

-All right? -Yes, I heard you.

I wanted right away still come to you.

I know it.

Take care of yourself.

It's their war, not yours.

Don't trust them.

If anything happens to him

I want you here never see you again.

Take the saddle down.

Just the two of us

Where do you want to go?

You don't need me here.

Sure I need you.

What do you think what he'll do out there?

Travis doesn't feel anything Sense of duty, not loyalty.

That's a problem.

Why just you and me?

Doesn't that worry you?

No.

What's your name?

Tommy, sir.

Tommy, huh? Nonsense.

Did your mother give you given the name?

Not my mother.

Where do we go?

I thought you were the tracker.

What is happening, when we find him?

We persuade him to face.

How do we want to do that?

That's why you're there.

The tea is too thin.

There's another one coming.

What is he doing here?

How so? Do you have what about Walter?

I can handle Travis on my own.

I need this dirty one Half-blood for it not.

Eddy, that's not the way to talk a law enforcement officer, understand?

Let me a couple of days.

I can do a half Find a dozen men

- who won't say a word ... -Boy.

and I take care of it.

We have it open Tried your kind.

Walter does no mistakes.

Walter!

This is a bad guy.

An aboriginal from the Queensland Police.

Kill his own people.

He's watching me.

Gutjuk.

That means falcon.

My name is Gutjuk.

Good to know.

What are we doing here?

From a higher position from here you can control everything.

Have a look.

What do you see?

Everything is coming towards me.

Exactly.

Do you know when we when we work together

maybe you should rather learn to shoot.

Yes. OK.

Do you understand? Lie down on your stomach.

Feet apart. Stable position, okay?

And now put the piston down so on the shoulder. Stay calm.

Push the plunger against the Shoulder. Now recharge once.

OK then. Pick a destination.

And

shoot.

Crap!

That's loud.

Yes. Is not a toy.

This time

keep it calm. Charge once.

OK then.

Breathe very calmly.

Now pull the trigger slowly.

Sky!

That was pretty good.

That was pretty good.

And from a higher position you have the overview

when to attack.

I have a couple back there seen by the gang.

I'll give you one chance save your uncle's life now

under mine Control. Do you understand?

Where is he?

As you wish.

Crap.

Do you think he knows that we are here

Are you worried?

I figured that out Queensland would be tough guys.

I'm Travis met by chance.

Just one time.

I am worried, because i'm not stupid.

Our doubts are traitors, Walter.

On top of the Hill,

is that Eddy?

Does he want to kill my uncle?

No i think he

he's here for us.

He's your friend.

He was mine Observer, at war.

He has the goals for me selected and I killed her.

So yeah I mean

Bush plums.

Good bush food.

Got me at war used to this.

I love them up for later. Here.

I thought that War would be over.

My uncle, Baywara,

he was my teacher.

If he's a Had a chance

then he would be a become a different man.

I don't know if anyone is can choose what to become of him.

Away, get away!

Go away!

They can eat it smell miles away.

How have you been so long survived out here?

Brains.

I think they're back got up and move on.

And?

There is no point here sit around and wait.

Because of your friend.

He is not my friend.

Then why do you have such Afraid we might catch up with him?

Have you ever seen him shoot?

That's what I wanted to say.

Uh, I have to piss for a moment.

There are many types, one Look at the situation, Walter.

Yes?

One of them is yours Kind that of the Blackfellas,

which in my opinion is daring and without precision.

As an ex-military, I believe that Precision is the key.

Sure, sometimes we can get on leave your Blackfella hocus-pocus.

But at the moment of the attack at the moment of contact

there is nothing better than thorough military planning.

Travis.

Walter.

Where's tommy

Tommy, I know that you're here somewhere!

Come out or he's dead!

That doesn't scratch him, Eddy.

Tommy!

You cannot do that.

What the fuck up

Moran says none of which comes back.

One step to the right.

Damn it black bastard.

When you come back say Moran that the plan has changed.

From now on I will Do things my way.

And how do you come up that shitty idea?

You are not here right now to keep my back free

I don't want to go back have to shoot you, Walter,

so piss off again Queensland. Keep an eye on him.

Come.

Put it down, Eddy.

Lay on the floor, Eddy.

No.

Down with it.

Take his rifle.

Keep an eye on him.

I have him. He is no problem.

He is old and slow.

Small and fat.

Has hair like a woman.

Are we going out there again?

Are we going out there again?

We are waiting for more men.

For more men?

When are they here?

Hey, there at war, you got there also shot people yourself?

You know what an observer does?

You're not just making the goal locate. You confirm the killing.

You watch like that Skull explodes.

You see the fog off Blood and dead eyes.

You can do one thing don't forget, Walter:

Travis is the nice one From us both.

Gutjuk, you did well.

With the mission station is Enough. Your life begins now.

Yes. Is good.

Where do we go?

To your grandfather's land.

What are you going to do with him?

I think he is a good man.

Do not worry.

If i had yours Want to kill friend

then I would have it there already done at the back.

Is she your wife

It doesn't belong to anyone. Too wild, the little one.

Your son's gang is coming.

Is that Gutjuk, your grandson?

they have one white man doing it.

Why did you bring him here?

We can do it use as a deposit.

I do not want anything have to do with it.

Father, you said you would help me when I have trouble.

Not when you do that.

Then we chop it into pieces.

No. This Madness stops now.

Take me to him

Sounds like you guys Gets in trouble.

Shut your mouth.

You have a big nose.

I don't care, he should die.

My grandfather wants to know whether you have power.

Is he your grandfather?

Yes.

What exactly does he want?

He says only he is allowed over judge his son. Not her.

His son's gang killed a woman.

He delivers to you not his son.

Then he brings his whole family in danger.

And if he comes with you will his family be safe then?

I dont know. I do not know that.

I do not think so.

He wants to talk to your boss.

OK. I can arrange that.

I would my rifle would like to have it again.

Give him back his rifle.

I do not like it.

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

You will find yourself here in the Warehouse take care of everything.

We have to make peace.

It will be your fault to be killed.

Do you understand?

You are a mission boy who pretends to be a man

You don't know what you do. You are weak.

You are all weak.

Cowards.

Cowards who talk instead of fighting.

You believe the words of a white man?

And a mission boy?

You do not speak for me.

I hear you have no prospects.

Well, they all have too much Afraid to let their men go

when the gang is free

Is there anything else I can do?

I had an education as a sniper

and was two months outside of Alice Springs.

Sniper?

I tell you something you can do.

Go in, grab it a rifle and ride about

a mile to the east then you are our early warning.

Like an eagle.

All right.

Nephew.

Well, look now please all straight into the camera.

Dont move.

Look directly at the camera.

Keep still.

Now.

We're still doing one thing, for safety.

Shit what got you you served there?

I speak your language little and can translate for you.

Are you the woman that mine Raised grandchildren?

Yes, together with my brother.

I thank you. But mine Grandchildren can speak for me.

See the crown on the badge?

She represents the king.

The king of British Empires.

And that's the law

to maintain it I have committed myself.

Do you see the shiny Thing on his hat?

By doing this he thinks

he's the boss.

My grandpa

is here, above mine Uncle to negotiate.

Baywara.

I'm over cooked negotiate nothing.

Listen, your uncle has broken the law.

He would like to know from what law you are talking about.

What?

This is my law.

It comes from the ground. From mother earth.

They come from over the sea here.

My law is perfect. Uniformly. It unites us.

Baywara is his son. He may judge him, not you.

Makarrata. The Restore balance.

I understand that the "balance".

-But here in this country ... -My country!

I said here in this country

we all hold each other together the same laws.

I'll do my best to make sure your son, Baywara,

treated decently becomes. That is justice.

Do you stand for justice?

Absolutely yes.

Then give up us justice.

For the men who are mine Killed family.

That didn't have to do with mine Uncle started.

It started with you.

They want us Respect your law?

Then give us our righteousness.

Listen me am not a politician.

I am nothing more as a lawman.

What you are asking of me that is not my decision.

There are people I talk to got to. Which I have to convince.

Do you understand?

And that will be easier if I can present your son.

You just got Kurtz ‘ Ranch attacked. Two dead.

Your damn son and his gang

just have attacked a ranch.

Baywara has just left attacked a ranch.

We're done here. Jesus.

Holy shit.

We all have to go.

We have to look around our people care.

We have to Baywara find and warn him.

No. He did to be responsible for yourself.

Families, come. We go home now.

We have to protect our land ourselves and our children.

There will be trouble.

If everything goes well, never see me again.

German?

This is the Mauser G-98.

Yes, they thought they were like that much better than ours.

-Very easy… -Fuck off.

Moran lets you go

Yes. A head start rather, I would say.

You can't attach it to me if you hold me here right?

You know what they're up to.

And you leave it just happened.

I will give it to you do not make it easy.

I have the old weapon of the Preacher taken. Be careful.

Where are the others, you bitch?

Now shut up.

The stupid bitch don't want to play along.

Morley!

-Morley, for God's sake! -What?

Take it easy, my boy.

I know you.

You are one of the mission niggers.

Tommy. That's his name.

What's the point, the gun up judge a white man, Tommy?

I can't even do that Wipe your ass without her ...

Don't look

Please do not…

I don't want their water.

Should i think you know what you are doing

From a higher position

can you see everything

You think like a white man.

They were good men.

Did you find her?

Yes.

Here you have mine Family killed.

Baywara, we can no longer wait for them.

We are waiting.

She belongs to us.

How many are coming?

Maybe four.

Let them come.

They send men and we do send ghosts back to them.

No. When they are on the fight are prepared, we lose.

We have to flee and make a plan.

We have to be in control.

You don't tell me what I have to do.

Listen to him.

What do you have to say

That man, Travis.

He was a soldier.

He told me that Control is the most important thing.

OK.

And he taught me that.

What a crazy kid are you?

What are you doing there?

I'm just explaining something to them.

You mean you know everything

Twelve years and one I know for sure

about the men who are mine Killed family.

They were soldiers.

Soldiers.

Understood?

Travis!

Hey

That's it for you, you ba ...

Come here.

You were that.

You don't always meet them best decisions, man.

I think that says it all.

People will look at the photo

and then think:

This is what a mad dog looks like once he's been hit.

Do you know how one Civilization being built, boy?

With bad men.

With bad men who do bad things.

That clear the way for the others who will follow.

With bad ones Men like you and me.

How did you get the idea Could you change who you are?

You're breaking my heart boy

Take a rest.

Regain your strength.

It wouldn't be particularly smart of us wanting to hang a dead man.

Don't you agree?

Will you be your way follow your uncle?

This stone.

This stone is the

Spearhead.

He is right and law.

It cannot undone be made.

The hardest stone

that there is.

I want the spear here.

No this is mine.

Baywara would have ours can become the greatest teacher.

But he has all of that lost in his anger.

Do you understand?

We didn't help him.

Listen to the wind

Listen to Father Heaven.

Listen to mother earth.

Listen to what she's telling you.

Walk with soft steps.

Stay here. Take care of yourself.

You may go the way not following your uncle.

I have on one Ranch worked.

I made the food and mopped the floor.

Boss thought I was his.

I was a girl just a little girl.

I have it mine Family tells.

He killed them all.

He has me his Given to men.

I know how it is feels like being hit.

How is it to yourself feeling worthless.

That's why you have to stay angry

and keep fighting.

Your anger is all you have.

He's dead, right?

If he were dead, would don't try here

to get more men together.

Do not worry.

He won't wait for that they come to him.

Claire.

You want to hunt Tommy.

He's a murderer.

To finish what you're facing started twelve years ago.

One can get a Don't share land, Claire.

There are people over there.

They made fire.

Do you see them?

It could be cops.

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

Let's go down and see after where the men are sitting.
