I thought we was going riding?

No.

- But you said. - No, I'm workin' here.

Do you... do you know what you just cost me?

The mare was pickin' up on your bad mood. That's why she didn't cooperate.

- Yeah, and whose fault's that? - Yours.

For sinkin' a shitload of piss yesterday.

See, this is why I don't want fuckin' kids.

Hello?

You need these.

Hey, Gidge.

Morning, Dick.

Looks like you're taking care of business, ay?

Yeah. - Ahh. I mean, the poor bugger.

Have you got anything that can cut a lock?

Well, bolt cutters? What do you need them for?

Have you got any?

Nah. I used to have a pair.

Leant 'em to someone. Never come back.

Shit.

Yeah, oh... well, I've got a hacksaw?

- Oh, yeah, that'll do. Yeah?

Where does he live?

- Adelaide. - What's his address?

- I dunno. - Maybe you should just wait here.

- He might call again?

Come on.

Come on.

Alright! Family meetin'.

- What for? I'm turning over a new leaf.

See, Robyn here...

Hmm?

Robyn here's just given me a spray that's got me thinkin'.

It's time I stepped up and became a father.

So that's what I'm gonna do.

Steve.

- Whatever. I gotta find Gidge.

- Who's Gidge? - My boyfriend.

- You got a boyfriend? - Robyn needs our help to find him.

- Don't you, Robyn? - Cheryl, I told you last night.

You can't just get rid of her.

Oh, darling, I'm only trying to help.

Steve!

- Hmm?

Oh, yeah, and, um...

Karen's pregnant too.

And?

What?

Yeah. So that makes three.

Only three, ay?

Well, actually, there might be a few more down the highway.

They can come and live with us as well.

You philandering fuckhead!

- You what? - Don't think you're gonna get a cent,

you gold-digging trollop!

That's rich comin' from you.

Everyone knows you only married him for his old man's money.

- How dare you! - Ow! Ow!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Girls, girls, girls!

- Relax! Hello, Robyn.

Get off me! - G'day, everyone.

I'm Detective Burke. This is Detective Wills.

- Oh, you took your fuckin' time. You're coming with us.

- No. I gotta go find Gidge. Nah, come on.

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey... - Calm down, Robyn.

- Don't touch me! - Get your hands off my bloody daughter!

Nah, come on.

You must be the father, then.

- Yeah.

Well, you can come too, mate.

She needs a guardian.

No bloody way. I got responsibilities here.

I got a stud to look after. Got a couple of kids on the way.

- Come on, mate. - Hey, hey!

Get ya bloody hands off me, mate!

Hmm?

It's alright, sweetheart.

I got ya.

Yeah, and she did all that for me.

I did it for my pop.

Why? You only had three weeks left on your sentence.

Don't say nothin' until we see a lawyer.

You gotta find Gidge.

Hey, look, forget about this Gidge.

- He's in trouble. - What kind of trouble?

I dunno.

Probably got something to do with that dead woman in his father's caravan.

What dead woman?

Gidge's dad killed a woman, and then we found the body.

Now he's in trouble. And he's at home.

Bob killed a woman?

Yes. That woman he was with.

- His wife? No, that's not his wife.

I don't believe it. Bob wouldn't do that.

Psst! Psst!

Well, I seen it.

- Mick, turn around. - What?

- Do it!

Ohhh!

Ha-ha! Gidge!

Gidge, it was the lamp!

She electrocuted herself!

I didn't kill her. Isn't that great news?

You can let me out now!

Why are you wearing a suit?

Oh, she deserves a decent burial, son.

You leavin' that caravan here? Uh, yeah.

You know, lost the, uh, lost the key, silly me.

Oh, just forward on that hacksaw. You'll fuck the blade.

- Right. - Lucky for you, I brought in the big guns.

- Oh, no, that's-- - Just need some power.

Dick, you don't have to-- No.

I appreciate it but really you don't...

Oh, Jesus! There's a smell. Oh!

Yeah, the dog.

Blood and bone. Someone's doin' a bit of gardening, is what that is.

Dick, I really--

Hey, Rob! Rob, what are you--

Look, here's your, um...

Here's your...

- Keep it. - Yep.

See what you've done now? We're fucked!

No, you're fucked!

Hey, Gidge.

The money! Her money. The money. You can have it all!

I-I don't care, you can have it, just let me out!

Let me out, will ya?!

Listen.

I'm going now.

If there's anything else you got to say, now's the time.

I really need a lighter.

- Jesus. Hey, hey! Here. Here.

This place smells ripe.

Living next door to a sewerage plant would almost have me off me lunch.

Bet the houses are cheap, though.

Yes, Mick.

I'll go talk to him, see what he knows.

Hey.

Not against the law to mow your lawn.

Didn't say it was.

Be nice to rekindle a father-daughter relationship, ay?

Yeah.

I love you, son!

Gidge!

I love ya!

Mick, can you get over here?

Stay here.

- Hey.

Hey, what are you doin'?

You're pretty good at that.

Yeah, good boy. Come on, son.

- Oi. Hey.

Hey! Hey!

Yeah, come on, Gidge, that's a good boy.

Come on, boy.

No, don't do it!

Mate, this is your last chance.

Alright? It's your last chance.

Oi!

Oi, get back here!

Oh, no! Oh, bloody hell.

- Evil!

How did you...

What's that smell?

- Oh, that woman's in there. - Still?

Yeah, we were gonna bury her in that hole.

You're an idiot.

What are ya doin', ya drongo!

- Are you fuckin' crazy? - Mowin' me lawn!

- Turn the mower off, mate!

- What? - Turn it off!

Can't hear ya!

You see, I shouldn't have to do that.

Oi. Robyn.

- Get back in the car. - Who's this?

Oi! Get your hands off my son, you Jezebel!

Oi!

What did you call my daughter?

I called her a bloody Jezebel, you moron!

Now get off my fuckin' lawn, idiot!

Come out here and say it, mate, hey?

Hey? Who do ya think you are?

If you won't come out here, I'm comin' in there, mate!

You better be ready!

I'm comin' in! Nobody speaks to my daughter like that!

Oh, shit. Sorry.

Who shot that?

He's got a gun?

Oh, Jesus, me knees.

Agh... Christ, that smell!

This is no good, this is not good.

Ohhh...

Dad?

Yes, son?

Cops are here.

You got a woman's body in there?

No!

Your neighbour said he's seen her, mate.

Ah, sorry, Rob. They forced it outta me.

Oh, fuckin' Dick!

Come out, Bob. Leave that gun inside.

No, thank you. I like it in here.

I can't stand the sight of blood,

so you're gonna have to have a look at it for me, mate.

Alright, just breathe deep.

- Breathe in and out. That's it. - Just be careful.

Bob! Come out, we need to talk.

I need a lighter!

Who's got a lighter?

Yep, sure. Two ticks, I got one here. Hang on.

There you go.

Alright, Bob.

I'm gonna pop this through your little hole here.

You light that durry and then you come on out.

Oh, Jesus...

Ah, oh, ooh, ow!

- Agh! Ow, ow, ow, ow! It hurts!

It hurts! It hurts! Aghh!

I'm on fire!

Shit, shit, shit!

Get the fuckin'...!

- Better get in and help.

You're right.

My pop Ringer reckoned thou shalt not steal.

'Cause if you do, you're gonna get locked up.

He had a lot of sayings, that old fella.

But he's dead now.

The only lesson I learned from all of this?

If you're not gonna stick around, don't stick it in.

- You're born alone and you die alone. - Mate, I told ya yesterday you can't park there

And I'm sick of being alone.

So I'm gonna take a new road.

- With this fella.

I don't know where we're gonna go,

but thou gotta plan the escape first.
