Original subtitles

You know, love.

Got yourself a new set of wheels.

It's not a crap you're driving.

You're calling my van a pile of crap.

It looks like that piece of shit Ted used to have.

Jesus, woman, there's a fucking welcome.

What are you doing here? You called me, didn't you?

I got a message saying I was needed. Here I am.

Maybe you'd had a couple of rum.

What if I did?

You right, love?

Yeah, I'm great.

Looking a wee bit shabby on it. Great to see you too, Walt.

So what are you doing up here?

I wanted to be here, all right.

In that case, I'm your man.

Hungry?

You're in bloody miracle.

That's me, all right.

I've divided up the maps and marked the places where Mum usually goes.

Van and Mum are already searching around by pick and save. That's your one.

And that is where it is. Where the hell is it?

Lady Slob.

Morning.

Hey. Hi.

Who asked you in the house?

I did, because he's helping.

Use this prick.

He'd need a map to pick his nose.

We have the rego of the car from CCTV outside the hospital.

Now, I forwarded that on, but you don't have any idea where she might have

headed? No.

So she hasn't been in touch?

No.

We'll find her. Don't worry. Like you did, Cherie. You couldn't find a whore

a brothel. That wasn't Zane's fault.

Zane? It's his name.

Not what I call him.

Rancid piece of pork scratching. A boil on the arse. Hey, shut it.

You might not give a shit, but we need to find her. Unless you've got a better

way of doing it, we'll take his help.

Now, I stress that this is a priority, given her possible state of mind.

Slutty's not mental.

Okay, we're just covering all the bases.

What bases? I think they're talking about suicide.

No, Mum wouldn't do that. If you lost a baby, you know, you mightn't have any

reason to live.

And then, you know, you might have a fatal accident because you were like...

Casey! You've got to concentrate.

I'm sorry.

Look, we just have to keep looking and we'll find her.

Yeah, okay.

Keep looking.

Okay.

I'll show you out. Yeah, cheers.

We'll be fine, sweetie.

What's with the suit shape?

Piss off.

Oh my God, what have you been doing?

Morning, Pascal.

Did you just do it with him?

Not just now.

But you did do it. Piss off, okay?

I'm not going to ever shout at Senator Jane. Yeah, you do that.

What the hell are you doing?

Nothing. Our family is in crisis, our mother is missing, and you're slutting

about with Hayden Peters.

Everyone's a slut here, it's not me. You hate Hayden Peters. Look, is that

really important right now?

Is that why you dumped the lovely Ranger Grahams? You could get it on with

Hayden Peters.

Has anyone heard from Mum? No, and don't change the subject. I demand to know

what the hell is going on here.

The reader.

Oh, these are good.

Did you really get these from that place in Tawakorewa?

Of course.

How did you get them to open so early?

I had my ways.

Last time I saw you, you reckoned you were pregnant.

I was.

What happened?

Came early, didn't turn out so well.

I might have a shower and get changed.

Yeah, good idea.

So I had a shower, got dressed.

I couldn't face it.

So I kept on walking.

Couldn't go back, couldn't go home, couldn't have my car.

So you stole the fucking car? No, I didn't steal a car. Yes, you did. No, I

borrowed it. Well, if you don't plan on going back, how does that work? I'm

going to work it out, all right? It was the only way I could do it, and I needed

to do it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, love, I'm not criticising, all right? I reckon

it's great.

Getting back on that horse.

How'd you break the ignition?

Nail file.

Oh, that's my girl.

Bugger off.

Hello?

Shit, we're into dinner. You!

I thought I made myself clear last year.

Dennis, how are you, mate?

I'm not your mate, you bloody hooligan. Oh, let's watch our language, Dennis.

Beer? I don't want your beer.

You're not staying here, not again.

You don't have a booking, and you will not camp illegally, drink, litter, or

light fires. Why are you not camping, Dennis?

I don't believe you. We are enjoying the peace and quiet of this beautiful

beach, as is our right in a free country.

Or at least we would be enjoying it if it weren't for some jumped -up prick in

walk socks who's shitting all over it with his Nazi bullshit.

Is that what you're doing, Dennis?

I'm going to give you a warning. Good, you've given us your warning. Now why

don't you fuck right off?

All right, but I'm not going anywhere.

And you'd better pick up those cans and the paper, especially the plastic rings.

If you're a bird or a seal, they're a death trap.

I've missed him.

Yes, oh, my.

No, she's not here, bro. Yeah, I'll check the bogs, eh?

Yeah, of all the places she'd go, why would she be in the bogs at Rusty? Well,

don't know, but we've got to check.

She's not here.

Yeah, should we check the meds?

No, if she wouldn't go in there, there's things like shit.

Hey, um, can I look at the map for a sec?

What was that?

I don't know.

You just gave him the knot.

I couldn't help it, bro. My head just did it. You know, we had the rusty, we

were passing the bar, and it was like automatic.

There's no such thing as an auto beard.

I didn't mean it.

No, he's pouring it.

Yeah, but it's not my fault my head got confused.

You've got to pay for it now.

If we've got to pay for it, then we might as well drink it. Well, some of

you know, it'd be a waste otherwise.

Okay, but just a small one, okay? We don't want to miss her.

The thing is, bro, if she's moving, then we could have already missed her, and

there's no way to know that we did miss her.

Yeah.

It's a freaky thing, bro, you know, thinking about that little baby and how

can all go so wrong.

Out of nowhere, bro.

Well, it wasn't out of nowhere.

What do you mean? She knew there was something wrong?

No, it was prick face.

Not Mr. J.

No, my prick of a brother, man.

Anyway, Mandy, I know you and Mum haven't talked for quite a while, but if

does by any chance show up, could you give me a call back on this number?

Because we're all getting pretty worried about her.

Okay?

Come on.

Get it all off.

It's off.

I haven't got any tog.

Well, it's nothing I haven't seen before, love.

Nah.

Too cold for skinny dipping.

There's always ways to warm up.

They're right.

You could light a fire. That'll do it.

You might need one if you're planning on staying.

What about the kids?

What about them?

You'd really bugger off and leave them?

They're not little anymore, Wilson.

They never bloody listen to me.

Jethro doesn't, that's for fucking sure. Oh, what's he done now?

Doesn't matter now.

You always were too soft on that boy.

What, and you've never played favourite?

How is my princess?

She's a lot poorer than she used to be, thanks to your psycho ex -girlfriend.

At least she's not with Nicky Gregan.

No, she's with a cop now.

Oh, shit. How's that an improvement?

Oh, he's all right.

You would say that, wouldn't you?

I thought we were talking about the kids.

How's our difficult youngest?

She's good.

She's actually the best of the lot.

Loretta? Yeah, yeah. I mean, she never says anything that's nice or popular,

she always tells the truth. You know, I reckon I should have listened to her a

hell of a lot more often.

Jesus, wet. The world really has gone mad.

We haven't done anything.

There is a total fire ban in the area, as indicated on the signs.

I don't see any fire.

What's that then?

That is a pile of driftwood.

Didn't get piled all by itself, did it?

Nature's a wonderful thing, Dennis.

You think you're so clever.

But if everyone did what you're doing, the environment would be at risk from

fire, contamination from ashes, and then where would we be, eh? We didn't light

this fire.

Right, so there are no ashes.

And I'm not everyone. I'm a mother who's lost a child.

And it's not some bird or some seal. It's a baby. So can you just piss off

leave us in peace? Because that is all I came here for was some fucking peace.

Okay.

But you better not like that.

Or anything else.

And I'll be watching you.

Bugger this.

It's time for a real drink.

Rum in the car.

No, I'm not that fucking desperate.

Yeah, look, I'm calling everyone I can think of.

If I hear anything... Thanks, Jethro. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Jethro.

Just trying to help.

Yeah, right.

We might head out, hit the park.

Are you coming back?

Of course I'll be coming back.

See you, Loretta.

Mainly, I'll be bringing Jane back.

Wayne, just... That's Jethro again. He can go fuck himself.

Okay. Thanks.

May I refine off your thing?

That was the, uh, general director.

I want to bring him home, but, uh, I want to be with him.

Well, I'll come with you.

You don't have to.

But I want to.

It'll be fun.

I'll just have a shower and I'll get changed.

I'll go with him. No, I will. It's not like you've been very helpful or

sensitive. Well, I'm not going. No, because you had to search in your

area and then report to HQ.

You mean you?

Yeah, someone's got to care.

Look, Mum will just be on a bender. She'll be passed out somewhere and then

she'll come home with the mother of all hangovers.

That is a terrible thing to say.

It's an accurate thing to say.

You'd better have a shower, Hugh.

I just want you to know that I do care about slutty pants.

Oh, that's great, dear. I haven't finished.

I've got a son.

Just the one.

He might not even be mine, but to lose him, it would crack my heart.

Thanks for that, dear. I haven't finished yet.

I might be going away for a very long time, but there are a few things in my

life that mean something.

I only haven't turned out to be such a bad bastard.

So it would be my honour and privilege...

To break my bail conditions and go with you to the funeral parlour. You don't

have to do that, kid.

You're like a son to me.

Well, I knew I actually thought of you as a father thing, kid.

I showed you the traps for young players.

Fixed you up with tasty biscuit and the lean tobs. Yeah, OK, fine.

So I can go then?

As long as it gets me a shower.

Butter!

My last play.

Home, sweetheart.

G'day.

Hey, I'll get the... No, no, no, it's all mine. Fine, I've got money. Listen,

will you stop bloody arguing for one bloody minute?

I'm buying you a drink.

I'll fit your arse down.

Hello.

Could I have a bourbon neat and a rum and coke, please?

I'm sorry.

I kept on trying to drive and read the map and then...

I couldn't stop crying, and I couldn't read the map, and I couldn't see the

road. It's okay, Casey.

Can't believe Cheryl ran off at a time like this.

Poor Wayne.

Yeah, we all feel like that, but she's still my mother.

I just feel so terrible.

What's it got to do with you?

Well, we were there, you know? We were winding her up.

Well, you were.

Well, and you were.

I just don't know how she didn't know there was something wrong.

Why didn't she have an amnio? I mean, I'm going to have one and I'm only 30.

course she didn't want one.

She said she'd never be able to terminate if something went wrong.

And it wouldn't show up on amnio anyway.

Right.

Well, hey, um, I cleared a space on the table for the, you know, the coffin.

Oh, that's great, Casey.

But you can't put a body on a table. It's tuppy.

Shit. Right.

No worries, Casey. I'll see you soon.

Oh, God, I'm such an idiot.

Jiggy, how much fucking money have you put in there?

Oh, just my spare change.

So, you're doing all right, are you?

I make do. Mm -hmm. What's up to?

Bit of this, bit of that. What's your name?

Name of who?

Lotus Slapper.

What makes you think there is one?

Because I know you.

I'm just keeping my head down.

Doing what?

Taking opportunities as they present themselves.

You mean you're taking whatever presents itself?

Hey, I wanted to go straight.

Kind of lost the reason when a certain person told me to piss off.

Yeah, she did.

Struppy woman she is.

What would she know anyway?

She seemed pretty certain at the time.

Going straight.

Who's that fucking kid?

You can have all the best intentions in the world and life's still going to

smack you in the back of the head, isn't it?

Point of even fucking trying.

You haven't done too bad.

What?

Waving my knickers on the moral high ground.

Sexy knickers.

I don't know anything anymore.

You know something.

You called me.

Yeah, I did.

Oh, this fucking song.

Fucking awesome song. Oh, fuck.

Pascal, again.

We're all really, really worried about you, so if you get this message, you

to call me back.

What are you doing back?

I thought I may as well do something that wasn't totally pointless.

What is that?

For the coffin.

You can't put a baby on a bear crate. I've got a cover for it, okay?

Well, what's wrong with the coffee table? Duh!

Tables are tapu.

Only if you have food on them. You won't. How do I know which ones have had

on them?

Anything? No.

Is she cool?

No, and I can't get hold of her, and it's really starting to freak me out.

me too. And you can fuck her right off. Hey, I can be here if I want. You don't

deserve to be here. I don't want you to move it!

It's a fucking first aid kit!

Bullshit! Stop it!

On the day I chose your name, your

mother recognized me. Stop it, you shit! Get the fuck off me! Stop it! Can you

just break them out? No, me and Ben's wouldn't. Yeah, go, Ben!

The world's been waiting for you.

And I've been waiting too.

Yes, you've been patient, it's true.

Because there'll be so much to do.

No, get off! No!

Get off!

Jesus Christ, stop it right now!

He shouldn't fucking be here!

Fuck off!

No, fuck you! Listen to me, everyone!

This is not G throws fault and then you just need to get your shit together,

okay?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Just don't do it in Whanganui.

Why would I do it in Whanganui?

Because that's where the tanga will be. Aye.

That's my son.

That's where I'm from.

And I hope all of you will come down for the tanga.

Aye.

Oh, Wayne.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

And nobody's fault.

And nobody's fault.

It's not bloody right, it's not.

Well, I guess this is cool.

He shouldn't be with a bunch of strangers at a time like this.

What, you mean Maoris?

I'm not a bloody racist, it's just not right, that's all.

He's from West Auckland, not from bloody Whanganui. Maybe you should take it up

with Wayne, eh? I will, don't you worry.

Wonganui.

Well, we have to go.

Maybe you could take Hayden.

Shut up.

So, what is going on with you two? I don't know.

Like, it was a mistake and you won't do it again? I don't know, okay?

Didn't you guys talk about it at all? No, we didn't.

God, you're such a slut.

Yeah, and you'd know, being the hobag queen of sleeping around.

Okay, I'm not going to get into a war of words with you. Why, because you lose?

No, because there are more important things, like being there for Wayne. And

Wonganui. Even if we have to sleep on the floor and eat fatty foods, we have

be there for Wayne.

God, he's so amazing. He's like some kind of saint.

Mum's going to go ballistic.

Well, she's not here.

It's kind of creeping me out.

Well, according to you, she's just...

gone off and got pissed.

Yeah, well, that's what she did when Nana Trish dropped dead and Papa Dave.

hated Nana Trish and Papa Dave. She thought they were mean, even though they

gave me, like, K -bars and milk bottles and frozen fuzz baths. I never got any

fuzz baths. Yeah, because you were too busy hanging out with Grandma Rita, who

they hated.

But no way could she hate her own poor little helper's baby who had something

wrong with it.

It's no one's fault.

Oh, shooty shoot.

What? Oh, my God, I should have seen that thing.

What?

So did you go on the piss? No.

He's home, Mum.

Wayne!

Okay.

I'd better go. Wayne!

I love you, Mum.

Wayne, I know where she is.

Did she call?

No, but I know.

She was at Toto Cootie Bay.

She wouldn't go to a beach at a time like this.

Well, she's got her reason.

I cannot think of a single reason why a mother would leave a child at a time

like this just to walk out without a single fucking word. Don't be mad, okay?

Why the hell not?

Because if you love someone, then I don't see how the hell you could do

something like this.

I mean, I know it's tough and everything, but for fuck's sake, if she

give a shit about that little boy.

No, you don't understand.

What's to understand?

It's happened to her before.

What is?

She had a baby girl named Helena before the twins, and she was born dead, and

her ashes are there at Tutakuti Bay.

Why don't I know about that?

Well, she doesn't really like to talk about it.

Right. No, no.

You know what? She's lying when it comes to doing stuff. She's really great, but

when it comes to feelings, she's crap.

Yeah, if you say so.

Look, I'll find her, and everything will be all right.

Pisco, you don't even know if she's actually there.

I do.

I'm going to find her, and then I'll call you.

You'll never do it.

Use the right butt.

If I win, you owe me.

You won't win.

What'll I owe you?

Whatever I ask for.

Deal? Fine.

You won't do it, though.

Suck on that, Buster.

God, you're an annoying...

You want a trumpet.

What was wrong with the trumpet?

Well, you could have gone for a lot more than that. Well, maybe that's all I

want. You call me up and I drive all this way and all you want's a fucking

trumpet. Oh, shit.

Well, I'm not begging, not this time.

No, no, it's close.

Fuck, she's a lazy cow.

Well, there are ways to deal with that.

Do you own me a trumpet?

So you'll be leaving money for them then?

Oh, shit, no. That cow always overcharged, remember? And then she

us because she said Loretta was always shoplifting.

She was shoplifting. Yeah, I mean, she didn't need to ban us. I mean, this

was the only store for fucking miles.

As I remember, it was chocolate?

Yeah.

Hey, this looks like the one at your parents'. Yeah.

Although theirs was a bit more of a dunger.

Oh, it had its uses.

Yeah.

One

chocolate.

I think it's a pre -tonguey, tonguey kind of thing.

Yeah, it could be.

I need a bit of a word. Sure.

After this, OK? All right.

My very sincere condolences to you, Sergeant Judd, and Mr.

Judd.

Felani, you can call me Wayne.

Really, Sergeant?

Thanks for coming, everyone.

I'm being here.

We're not all here.

Tomorrow my boy and I will be going down the line.

But before we do that, I want to give my son a name.

Now, I have been waiting for a long time for this boy.

And now it seems pretty hard that I won't get a chance to see him grow up.

But it makes no difference to me.

To how much I love this boy.

And how much my son is in my heart.

And that's why I'm naming him.

Tama o taku manawa.

Tama o taku manawa.

Theodore Judd.

Theodore? Yeah, Theodore.

Because this boy is as much part of this family as he is mine.

He's our bloody west.

And he always will be.

And even if he is lying in Whanganui, he will always

be a part of you.

I hear.

About all.

I love you.

Do you like the cuppa?

Yeah, I get followed by a bloody shot. Thanks, Laurie.

Of course, dear.

It's so sad to be home.

And I could almost, like, hear a baby crying.

You can.

It'll be Jane.

No.

Theodore.

Yeah, that's right, you old bugger.

What did you want to ask me?

It doesn't matter.

Not anymore.

Go away.

Fuck.

Go away. I'm fine, okay?

I need a lock on this door.

What? Look, I know that we're just upset, okay?

And that's why we're doing this.

But if that's the reason we're doing this, like we're tragic serial grief

bonkers or something, then we can't because it's just the situation. And the

last time we did that, things got really messy.

Wasn't so bad, was it?

Um, what about the part where I burnt your house down?

You know what?

Fuck the house.

I don't care.

We got Jane.

And I'm so grateful for that.

Yeah, me too.

Kind of.

But look, I can't be a grief bonk not again.

I can't go through that kind of pain and heartbreak not again.

You said heartbreaking.

It's exactly hilarious.

You are hilarious.

You're really fucking annoying.

I love you.

I really do.

Even though you're way more annoying than me. No, I'm not. You are.

Maybe we scared them off.

Well, we're not breaking any rules.

Not yet.

You know, this is how we used to do it.

Before we had the kerchief and all that crap.

Before Eric got the bus? Yeah, bloody Eric.

Want to stay over in my shaggin' wagon?

you get that?

Among my souvenirs.

You fucking missed it. Oh, well, you weren't missing it, were you?

Gee, you could do it, what?

No!

Oh, they've got sentimental value, those stones.

We made the twins on that.

This van.

It's a lot like that one. It was that one. No, no, it'd be cheaper.

Of course it is. No, no, that got written off when you cleaned out that

store in 89, remember?

Yeah, yeah, and Eric was on getaway, and he drank that bottle of Karuba. You've

got a great memory, love. Yeah, I do, so don't try and bullshit me. Never would,

you know that. Yeah, right.

I had curtains to go with that duvet.

I remember.

When I used to sneak into your room.

Only thing my parents ever gave me was that.

Oh, she was a hard woman, your mother.

Kicking out a 16 -year -old pregnant girl.

I wanted to go.

Be with you.

She said if I stayed with you, I wouldn't live to regret it.

Do you? No.

I don't regret anything.

Want to go break some rules?

Yeah.

God, it's beautiful here.

Couldn't live here, but... We could get a badge.

We could.

You know how I feel.

You know what I want.

I told you, I'm not going to beg.

You and me.

Can't get away from that.

Whatever.

What about him? The cop?

He's not a cop.

He must have done something.

For you to come all the way up here.

He didn't do anything.

Bullshit.

I just wouldn't listen to him when he told me to slow down.

I knew he did something.

It wasn't his fault, it was mine.

He was born without a bit of his heart.

The left ventricle was missing.

So when he was born, there was nothing they could do.

How is that your fault?

Happened before was like before.

That is not what happened with Helena.

But it's still me.

There's something wrong with me.

And he must have known that the way he was looking at me.

That's why you took off.

It's my fault.

I can't stand it, and I can't go back.

That's why you walked out. That's why you walked out on him. You're not

to say that.

You hate him.

You wanted me to leave him.

Since when were you my fucking conscience?

You brought me here. Because you've been here before, and you know what it's

like, and I couldn't handle it then either.

Ready to do it.

I'll never be ready. You know I won't. I can't.

You can, love.

Shit.

Shit.

Oh, my God.

Ready to do it?

I'll never be ready. No, I won't.

You can.

We're scattering some ashes.

You're what?

You heard me. You will do no such thing, not here. And why the hell not?

You cannot scatter ashes or human remains of any sort.

You know what?

You can fuck off.

I look here, you young hooligan.

I'm not a hooligan.

I'm a father.

And Cheryl here, she's a mother.

And what do you think it would like for her to think she was having a baby?

Then find out that baby died. And then still have to have it.

She was perfect. No one knows why she died.

And if this is the place where we want our little baby to rest, our little

Helena, then who are you to tell us where to go?

I am very sorry for your loss.

And I will make an exception in this instance.

But, um, keep it above the shoreline, all right?

Okay. It'll be okay. We can do this.

Shit. We can do this, okay?

Helena.

We loved you so much, sweetheart.

We still love you.

We will love you.

I'll love you forever.

I know.

And we'll have more kids, and we'll bring them here, and we'll see her every

year.

We'll party on and on all the fuck out of that ranger day.

Oh shit.

Wolf.

Wolf.

It's just gone so crazy.

And why didn't you call me back? I must have left you, like, a hundred messages.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, yeah, there's no... Yeah, but you still should have called me from

somewhere. Come on. We've got to get you home, OK?

Yeah.

Have you been drinking, Mum?

You already said you would.

Just a bit.

Well, this stays here.

No, no, love, we need to get that back. No, Zane can take care of it.

Aaron's fella can pick it up with his tow truck tomorrow.

He'd do anything for me, but you need to go home, okay?

How did... How did you know I'd be here?

Well, because of Helena?

And because I know you, Mum?

Well, it's still a pretty wiggy thing that you did, and Wayne doesn't really

it, and he just thinks that you're mad at him, and he's really angry and upset.

I just went a little bit crazy, that's all.

Well, you know, that's okay.

I'm here now and I can get you some medication.

But you still need to talk to Wayne.
