Hi, Freddie.

Terry, what are you doing?

Oh.

What did we talk about?

What kind of criminals get caught?

The dumb ones.

No fuck-ups.

All right?

I'm not spending the rest of my life in a

concrete box simply because you couldn't stick to a plan.

Understood?

Now, let's get this done.

You know this.

Once you step inside here, you're in.

No more of this pussy shit.

Mate, we do this together.

Alright?

The way Dad would have wanted.

While we start, we're gonna finish.

Okay, now I know we're wearing gloves but

try not to touch anything you don't have to.

Now take a seat.

You're clean, you can sit.

okay

All right, so, Roger will be here about

5.30 tonight to brush and re-shoe Freddy.

The buyer will turn up at seven.

You'll see I've mapped everything out, so we'll be

ready about half an hour to an hour before Roger turns up.

Why is this buyer coming at 7 p.m.

to try and put Freddy into a horse float?

What kind of idiot loads a horse in the dark?

I reckon Freddy will get spooked, don't you?

Not our concern.

Roger organized it, and he's with Mum all day.

Besides, mate, it works beautifully with our schedule.

The chances of anyone seeing us leave at

night is the same as when we came in this morning.

Minimal at best.

Now, you'll see that I've set the alarm for final idiot checks and exit, 6.15.

You know, I still don't understand why we're here for the whole day.

Because there's a lot to prepare.

We're only gonna have half an hour or so to deal with.

To deal with Roger.

What's with all the cleaning?

You've got like seven cleans in here.

Six.

Mate, human emotions being what they are, if we leave the

cleaning till after the fact, we're likely to miss something.

I think you're gonna be surprised, Terry, how quickly the day's gonna go.

There's a lot to cover.

Oh, I can see that.

And a lot of the stuff I don't remember us ever discussing.

These other things, you've got ice, junkie rehearsal, electrocution.

Tess, Terry, look at me.

As Dad would always say, failing to plan is planning to fail.

I know that, Jeff.

It's just a little intense seeing it all written down like this.

You've done it like a to-do list.

It is a to-do list.

It's exactly what it is.

You know what, just forget this.

Let's just keep moving, can we?

All right.

Okay, well, let's synchronize watches.

Seriously?

I'm very serious.

No shortcuts. Yeah, but couldn't you have just said, what

time do you have, instead of synchronize our fucking watches?

Bro, what time do you have?

I don't.

Because like most normal human beings, I use my phone to tell me the time.

But you've taken that from me, remember?

♪

♪

Find it?

Yeah.

We'll have to put it back afterwards.

I'll make a note in the agenda.

Doesn't work.

Wind it, give it a tap.

Dad used to say it had a heart for a battery.

Give it enough attention, it'll work.

What's that?

Toothache.

Alright, let's synchronise watches for 7.14.

It's time to ring mum.

Hey, it's Geoff.

Geoff, Mum, your son, Geoff.

Yes, you know, we've just arrived.

No, it's great.

It's good to spend some time together.

Big city, Sydney.

Very loud, very noisy.

No, no, no, he's off shopping.

Of course he wants to talk to you, Mum.

He's out, he's buying chocolate.

Chocolate's for the kids or something.

No, no, no.

Not chocolate.

Not chocolate.

Boys don't eat chocolate.

What?

Sue doesn't allow it.

You should be.

When Mum sent the boys chocolate at Easter, Sue spent a whole night on it.

I begged her not to, but she wrote this three-page

essay on the negative impact of chocolate on kids.

Don't ask me what it is.

I don't get it.

But, Mum, trust me, Mum knows they can't have chocolate.

You there?

Mum?

You misheard me.

No, no, no, he's buying them for Mum, for me.

How's your blood?

Your blood levels, Mum?

The markers, are they up?

OK, well, what did the doctor say?

No, I hope you're not calling him Dr Vindaloo to his face, Mum.

He's there to help you.

All right, and the chemo that's happening today?

And what about Roger?

Is he staying back with you, or is he still seeing the guy about Freddie?

Freddie the horse.

The horse, Mum.

Right, right.

-Good. -So, happy thoughts, huh?

For the chemo.

-Positive. -Thinking. -Yes.

All right.

I love you, Mum.

Mum?

I said...

Anyway, we're good.

Roger's gonna be here at 5.30.

You're sure sad phones can't be traced?

Yes, mate.

It's half the reason why people buy them.

Are you confident our phones made it to Sydney?

The courier company will send the package back on Monday and

the GPS will show that our phones had a glorious weekend in Sydney.

We're good.

Hmm.

What is there to rehearse?

Roger goes in the bath, appliance goes in the bath.

End of story.

When do we put the water in?

Well, before, obviously.

Okay, me or you?

Either.

Now or closer to the act?

I don't know, whenever.

And what appliance do we use?

Hair dryer.

She doesn't have a hair dryer anymore.

She smashed it, remember?

She's got no fucking hair on her head.

-The chemo. -Then a toaster.

They use the oven grill to do toast.

Roger thinks it's crispier that way.

Come on, you know this shit.

Well, obviously you have the answer.

He kills himself with a Tasman axe.

Yeah, why not?

Oh, no, it's got some poetry about it, I suppose.

Poetry?

Mate, this is serious fuckin' paperless.

This is Roger's first and favorite radio.

Alright, great.

So we done?

Nah.

Cord's not gonna reach from the hallway to the bath.

Let's grab an extension lead.

No, no.

Not those.

That one.

One of Dad's old ones.

Mm-hmm.

More poetry.

Oh, yeah, no, you should write fuckin' Christmas cards for Hallmark.

No, no, no, don't touch that.

What, I can't make tea?

Um, we don't want to touch anything we don't have to, remember?

Here.

You got milk?

-Leave it. -Leave it!

No, I've got gloves on.

The power.

The fridge is already on.

Mate, I'm no electrician, but you open that door, power surge.

Which means someone was in an empty house

Do you have a single memory of Mum ever opening or

taking anything out of that fucking crystal cabinet?

I still get anxious just being near it.

And the last time I got a hiding was in that chair.

Really?

Yeah.

It was at Dad's wake.

Cousins and strangers everywhere.

Drinkin', eatin', bullshittin'.

All I wanted was a quiet place to come and

eat some of Aunty Cheryl's ginger fluff cake.

I don't know how Mum knew or where she came from, but...

two bites in...

flew in like a fuckin' ninja.

She had some kind of trip wire or something in here, I swear.

Yeah.

I didn't get to the third bite.

Wallop.

Mum hit you at Dad's wake?

Oh, yeah.

A real stinger.

I never knew that.

Never told anyone.

I had my first kiss in this room.

Chrissie Holt.

Man, I was so nervous.

I practiced kissing on the bathroom towels for a week.

I fuckin' hate this room.

I'm going to take a piss.

Well, hang on, you can't piss in the toilet.

I'm sorry?

You're fucking kidding me Tez it's a septic tank.

So what water?

What about it the power when you flush

I have power a toilet the pump.

Oh You'll leave residue on the bowl, what does that matter DNA?

You know Jay we grew up in this house.

This place is riddled with our DNA.

Yeah old DNA not new.

There's a difference What So what if you want to take a shit?

Well, unless you want to put in your hands and put it in your pocket.

I suggest you hang on like a big boy

You know, the agenda, the rules, the piss bottle.

I mean, you're starting to scare me, Joe.

It's like you've done all this before.

Tez, just because I'm not walking around shivering like a

little frightened lamb doesn't mean this is any easier for me.

I mean, Jesus, the worst I've ever done is a dodgy tax return.

I'm just being methodical, that's all.

It's how my brain works.

You'll thank me for it later.

It's how I built my business up.

What, the business you sent bankrupt?

Seriously?

You're gonna make today emotional?

We're about to kill our stepfather for a block of land and an old house.

Things are gonna get pretty fucking emotional, Joe, whether you like it or not.

Well, can you just focus on the job at hand?

And we'll both get emotional tomorrow.

Job at hand.

Yes.

Oh, look.

Think of me...

like your foreman, right?

You're a brickie.

You know, when you go on a site, you see the framework, right?

It's not your job to worry about the end result, right?

It's about the process.

And in your case, it's about the bricks.

You worry about the bricks.

One brick after the other.

Brick, brick, brick, brick, brick.

Two, three hours later, we would both stand back.

Voila, job done.

That easy?

It can be.

You do know I haven't been a brickie for two years, yeah?

Nah, I mean, yeah, so what?

Well, I know you knew, because I told you when I got the new job.

Do you know what that new job is?

Look, you're gonna have to excuse me if I'm a bit rusty on 20 questions.

I've got a lot on my mind.

Besides, you probably don't even remember what I do for a living.

You're the head of state operations for that

new life insurance company, Heartbeat Services.

It's the blue building on Chapel Street.

All right.

And I know because Mum walks the corridors of the

hospital, stopping anyone that'll listen to her and raving about it.

And if she's not banging on about it, then Roger is.

Roger bullshit.

It was his first Facebook post.

I'd show you, but our phones were in Sydney.

Do you mind?

God, the next piss I'm going to take is going to be on a tree.

Did you bring the suicide note?

Can I just have a minute here?

Jesus, Tess.

I give you one fucking job to do.

What's wrong with it?

Well, I wanted a suicide letter, not a suicide memo.

Oh, I need more words.

Why am I doing this anyway?

I thought we were gonna write it together and post it online straight after.

No, no, no, neither of us are gonna be in any state of

mind to write any kind of bloody letter after the fact.

No, no, you need to do it now.

And then when we're ready, we just transcribe

it into his phone and then post it up on Facebook.

Well, why would Roger kill himself now

when Mum's only got a few months to live?

Because of what you say here.

I am weak, right?

He's weak.

You know, I just don't wanna hurt Mum any more than it has to.

You know she thinks suicide is selfish.

I mean, look at the way she talks about Dad after all these years.

Well, then we make it so that he killed himself so he could be

the first face she sees when she walks through the pearly gates.

Seriously?

Jesus, Geoff, Roger helped raise us.

We're not even killing him for what he did or what he said he's gonna do.

We're killing him for what we think he might do.

There's no might about it, Terry.

He gets the house when Mum dies.

She made that perfectly fucking clear, right?

And he's gonna sell the lot from under us and piss off back

to Queensland before she's even dead in the fucking ground.

But he might not.

Well, then we kill him for what he has done, all right?

We kill him because he left a perfectly

good woman and three kids to fuck our lives up.

Or we'll kill him because his affair with

Mum broke Dad's heart and he topped himself.

Or we kill him because, we kill him because of these radios.

He spent more time with these radios than he ever did with us.

Mate, or we kill him because he's selling your kid's favourite horse, Freddy.

I mean, whatever works for you, but we're killing him.

Roger has always been about himself.

He couldn't wait to get away from us to hang out in that bloody

work room of his twiddling knobs and playing with valves and shit.

He spent more time walking the dog and smoking weed than being with us.

No, no, no.

Mum raised us, not Roger.

It's not right that he comes to life now right when Mum's about to die.

We do this later.

We're behind schedule.

No, I'm being good.

I haven't eaten any of that. Alright, we'll speak soon.

See you, love.

We can't send photos.

We haven't got any photos.

Alright, I deleted them.

I really want to burn it into her subconscious, alright?

So Sydney, Sydney, Sydney.

Oh, hiya.

It's me.

Yeah, so me and Jay, it's all good in Sydney.

But I'll, um, I'll, uh, just thought I'd ring and say hi.

So I'll, uh, anyway, um, say hi to the kids.

So I just left a message.

What are you doing?

Tez, I'm not a fucking idiot.

Why didn't you call Sue?

You know what, just forget about it.

Tez, I'm not going to forget about it.

Sydney's our alibi if the suicide story doesn't stick.

Look, you're having a lover's tiff with Sue, I can see that.

But I want you to think about 40 years in

jail and get the fuck over it and ring her back.

She left me, okay?

So now I have no alibi that's not you, Mum or Roger.

Happy now?

Why?

Why didn't you tell me?

What does it matter to you?

I could have helped.

I've been there.

I know it's not easy.

Well, you sure make it look easy.

I do?

Yes.

We can't have any secrets with each other, not now, right?

If they investigate the suicide as a murder,

they're gonna interview more than just you and me.

Yeah, lie. Lie your ass off.

And stay free.

Or tell the truth and go to prison.

Pretty easy option if you ask me.

I'm a shit-ass liar, Jeff, you know that.

That's why she's leaving me.

What do you mean?

She asked me if I still love her.

What did you tell her?

The truth. Well, why would you do that?

Because I'm a shit-ass liar.

Not, not really.

No, I'm serious.

I've been miserable for years.

Oh, I know that.

That's obvious.

No, you should have left her years ago.

Okay, best-case scenario.

Roger comes through the front door, works his way into the

living room, sees us wearing the mask, thinks we'll rob the place.

Now, I know it sounds simple, but we should rehearse it.

You play Roger, come in, and I'll do the rest.

Yeah.

No, no, don't go out the front.

No, no, no, no, just...

Why would Roger hang himself where Dad shot himself?

Why wouldn't he do it in his work room?

For the same reason he didn't sell Dad's tractor or any of his cars.

It's guilt.

Well, that and the roof can take his weight.

All right.

-All right. -On your knees.

Roger's got a dodgy hip.

He can't even put his own socks on.

Plus, it'll hurt him.

What does it matter?

He's gonna be dead three minutes later.

There's no need for him to suffer.

Uh, Roger?

Uh, how do we know his name's Roger?

Alright, shit features.

Sit.

Now, I'll get Roger to wear these, but

for now, we'll just work with your gloves.

I'm not worried he's gonna ask why he's gotta wear gloves.

Not particularly, or I couldn't give a shit.

No, the gloves are so that if he scratches us

during the struggle, he won't get our DNA under his nails.

You watch a lot of those crime shows?

It's always the shit under their nails that get him in the end.

All right.

How's that?

Yeah, good.

Actually, I can kind of see a little bit.

Really?

It's hard to say.

Not...

Not much.

Now, let's let me adjust it a bit.

You know, I spoke to Roger about the will.

You what?

Well, I just told him we're upset.

You know, and said it's...

it's Dad's house.

I know the intricacies of our fucking complaint, Terry.

What did Roger say?

Well, he said it was Mum's call.

But he promised when he...

when he died that he'd make sure the house was returned to us.

When he dies?

Yeah, he said he'd put it in his will

Everybody could be happy.

That's frog shit.

What about his first wife?

His real kids?

He might even have a brother and sister we've never heard about.

People he's owed money to or fucked over.

No, mate, they'll all come out of the woodwork when Mum dies.

He left his first family hanging in the

wind to come and play part-time daddy with us.

Well, same can be said about you.

You got a divorce, you cheated, you got kids to two different women.

Totally fucking different.

I love my kids.

I did everything for Mary.

That crazy bitch got everything she ever wanted.

The house, the car, that fucking Louis Devon bag thing.

She's happier now than when we were together.

No, Roger's got our dad's blood on his hands.

The older I get, the clearer that becomes.

Real mystery.

So what the fuck does Mum see in him?

I don't know.

He's just gotta buy flowers every now and then and

not hit her like Dad did, and I guess she's happy.

Hey, you shut your mouth.

You were a kid.

I saw things happen in that house you wouldn't fucking believe.

He did his best.

Dad tried real hard.

I know he made mistakes, but he fucking tried.

And who knows, if Roger hadn't have come along, he could have

come good, and we wouldn't be having this fucking conversation.

So you show some respect.

♪

Okay, so the last two rehearsals have

relied on Roger playing ball.

But if he doesn't, then we've got the last option.

The ice junkie option.

Exactly.

Okay, let's say Roger comes in and we lay out our intentions.

He does a runner.

We're not going to be able to make it look like a believable suicide.

Yeah, but I mean, think about it.

How fast do you really think he can run?

Couldn't we just grab him before he shoots out the door?

No.

We can't have bruises, no scuffs, no scratches.

A botched, fake suicide is going to create much more suspicion than a murder.

So, let's assume he's come in, freaked out, done a runner.

We need to make it look like we were ice junkies.

He came in, interrupted us while we were robbing the place off our tits.

You can just say junkie.

I don't think it matters what kind of junkie we are.

Regardless, there's a few things we're going to have to do.

First of all, we don't have to throw a whole lot of shit around.

Right?

Junkies are messy people.

Eat some food out of the fridge and get the right weapon.

I think it's the stoners that get the munchies, not the ice junkies.

Anyway, why can't we just use the gun?

Because a meth head is not going to stumble across Dad's gun.

No, no, that's never going to happen.

No, no,

we use this box cutter.

Why can't we just use a regular knife?

I've been doing a bit of research.

You know, watching a lot of YouTube videos.

Junkies caught on CCTV.

Now, I don't know what it is, but whether they're

robbing a 7-Eleven or some old chick for a

handbag, ice junkies seem to have a thing for box cutters.

So, let's be authentic.

Okay?

Yeah. Now, important thing, when we kill him, we kill him dead.

Isn't that a tautology?

I mean, if we've killed him, obviously, he's dead.

No, Tess, I think you'd be surprised.

It's not that easy to kill a man.

We can't just stab him like a fucking pincushion.

It's not good for anybody.

Yeah, especially Roger.

Exactly, because then we've got to sit around and wait for him to bleed out.

No, no, the secret is to do what the Romans did.

Now, the Romans, when they won a battle, all the

enemy would be lying around dying and injured and shit.

The Romans would mercy kill them.

Spike to the heart.

It's quicker, more honourable.

But what they wouldn't do is stab them in the front here.

It's too hard, bone.

They'd come in under the armpit, where it's soft.

Straight in under the chest, into the heart, instant death.

What, so the junkies now take their

inspiration from the ancient Romans, do they?

Well, we don't make it look obvious, right?

We stab him in a few other places, makes it look like the junkie got lucky.

But if you're concerned about Roger, do him in the

heart first, then do all the other stabbing after he's dead.

That way he doesn't feel it.

Make sense?

So let's rehearse it.

Do you want to be the stabber, or do you want to be the stabbed?

Bleh.

Jesus, Terry, here, you're gonna have to clean all that up.

I guarantee there'll be shitloads of DNA and spew.

If things go down this way, the wise junkie

option, do you think he's gonna know it's us?

Terry, you're gonna have to get used to

the fact that it's highly likely he will.

Anyway, what does it matter?

It's not like he's gonna be around to

lay a guilt trip on your Christmas dinner.

I just don't want him to know it's me before he dies.

Here, scoop it all up, put it in the dam, wash it out.

And I'm talking spotless.

Mr. Muggins.

I'm proud of you, Tessa.

You know, through all of this, we haven't talked

about what we're going to do with the place afterwards.

Yeah, what are you thinking?

Well, the place could do with a lick of paint.

Bit of a tidy up.

We could bring the kids up and do a bit of a workin', Bea.

It'd be nice to buy new horses for them to ride.

It'd be good to bring the kids up here a bit more often, don't you think?

What are you talking about?

Are you seriously thinking of bringing the kids back into this house?

The same house we straight-up murdered their poppy in?

Well, yeah.

Mate, neither of us are candidates for

Father of the Year, but are you hearing yourself?

What I mean...

Next week or straight away, but eventually, yeah.

I mean, this is the family home.

Dad's legacy.

It is the only reason we're sitting here, right?

Yes, you're right.

And it's what Dad would've wanted.

Mate, I'm just being pragmatic.

Tez, really, for God's sake, did you really think that the two of us

would just bring our kids up here and live like the fucking Brady Bunch?

No, no, we have to sell the place.

The house has no value.

Roger ran it into the ground.

No, it's the land.

It's the land and all of his antique radios.

That's where the value is.

No.

No, mate, we have to sell.

Dad would say the same.

What are you saying?

I fancy a new job of yours.

What about it?

It doesn't exist, does it?

You don't have a job.

Jesus, Geoff, why can't you just come out and say it?

That's why we're here, not because of Dad or what's right.

You're bankrupt again, aren't ya?

Terry.

You don't have to be hard up to do bad shit for money.

If you've got none, you want some.

And if you've got some, you want more.

Jeff, if you're in trouble again, I can lend you the money.

No secrets, remember?

Look, it's not too late.

We can just leave now.

Tomorrow, okay?

We can go to the bank together.

I can take out a loan for you.

No worries.

Hey?

-I'd be happy to. -What do you say?

I'm not loaning money off my little brother.

Why not?

I mean, fuck pride, bro.

That's just... that's just bullshit that Dad fed you.

Look, I know we're different.

But I don't live my life with Dad's voice in my head like you do.

And yes, I'm sorry I wasn't straight with you at the start.

Okay, Sue has had my mind spinning.

Look, okay look, if he comes in here, he

didn't see us, everything goes as normal, right?

He goes to his car, he spends too much

Did you know my dad before you and mum got married?

Yeah.

No, not really.

Well, not early on.

You know, when I first met your mum, I'd just

flown in to install a phone to the post office.

She came in a few times, but I don't remember your father being with her.

He may have been there.

Why, sir?

So the fact that you didn't know him probably

made it easier for you when he killed himself.

Jesus, none of it was easy, all right?

You know, it was all, uh, terrible business.

Terrible business?

Yeah.

How was it, a terrible business?

Where were your father's...

No one expected it.

Most of all, your mother, who took it very hard, as you know.

And, of course, you boys.

What about us boys?

Well, not you so much, because you were

only seven, but it affected Jeff very deeply.

You know, he completely closed down for a couple of weeks.

And then when he finally did talk to me, he made it very

clear that, you know, you boys had one father and one father only.

Idiot.

Of course, I understood that.

You know, it isn't easy stepping into another man's shoes.

You know, especially under such circumstances.

You probably preferred to spend time with your radios.

Well, that's a little harsh, don't you think, Terry?

What I meant was, I respected that.

And I made it clear to him that I would never take the place of your father.

Do you know what happened back then was hard on you

both it was hard on your mother and it was hard on me

Was it as hard as leaving your own kids back in Queensland?

Okay, look, you know, I can see that you're

upset about something, so just tell me what this is.

-Do you want some milk? -No, thank you.

I don't want any tea.

You know, I've had a long day with your mother's

doctors, and I've still got a brush and shoe for Eddie.

of us say something that we can't take back, let's
