Original subtitles

Beautiful, isn't it? No matter how many times I go away, I always come back and

it's beautiful.

Does that make sense?

No, but I know what you mean anyway.

Sydney Centre, Juliet Oscar Charlie, maintaining 1 ,000 with runway 07.

Oscar Charlie, you are number one for runway 07.

If you discovered your girlfriend's budgie had died, would you A, tell her

offer a shoulder to cry on, B,

Let her discover it herself and stay clear for a few days.

See, buy a replacement and hope he doesn't notice.

Well, B, obviously.

What, let her find out for herself?

Yeah, you would.

Well, I didn't kill her.

Well, if you choose B, you may as well have.

This is bizarre. Why do you read this? I promise you, stealing sunglasses isn't

my style. You can have them if you really want them.

No, they don't suit me.

Are you sure? I got them for nothing anyway.

Well, thanks, guys. I believe I owe her. How was your flight?

Terrific. Your pilots are a nice change from fat guys with epaulets.

Well, I'm the only one, but we're working on it, aren't we, Shay?

We are.

Are you a pilot, mate?

So how many more of you are there?

Eight? Well, if you include Ando, which I don't.

Have you got a guy called Gibbs, Scott Gibbs?

I booked a flight.

I thought you might be the pilot. I'd surprise you.

Okay, I'm surprised. Now get out.

Hey, God.

It's water under the French. Come on, mate.

Piss off, Dennis.

Scott.

I'd better sign for my flight, huh?

It was a nice flight.

Anytime.

So, uh... Who is he?

It's my father.

Mrs Masters?

Yes, that's right.

Yeah, hi, Lauren Allen. We spoke on the phone.

Oh, yes, hi.

Chris?

This is Chris Manning, our chief pilot.

Gillian Masters.

Hi. Hello.

Chris is going to take you for your first lesson.

I'm not quite ready yet.

That's okay. I explained.

He'll wrap you in cotton wool.

You'll be fine once you're in the air.

Here goes.

I'm just saying he seemed like such a nice guy.

I'm just saying you wouldn't know.

Anyway, it's none of your business.

Yeah, OK.

Sorry.

Anyway, he's gone now. Let's just forget it, eh?

He's coming back.

He's booked a flight for two and he's asked for you.

No way.

You drive him, I won't.

OK, let's run through the checklist first.

It's a win.

Oh, sorry.

Okay, let's go from the top.

Switches off.

Yes.

Throttle closed.

It is.

Handbrake on.

Sorry, what did you say?

The handbrake. Is it on?

Oh, right.

Yes. Okay.

Set the mixer rich and crank the throttle.

You sure that's the mixture?

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous I can barely think straight.

Hey, it's okay.

I know you're nervous, but it's all right.

Well, maybe this is not such a good idea. Maybe I should just go home.

No backing out now.

You sure you want to do it in a twin engine? Yeah.

Yeah, this is what I started on, but I haven't done a proper landing yet. I'm

really sorry.

Stop apologising.

How long since you played?

19 years. Wow.

That's a while between take -offs.

What happened?

Oh.

Kids, marriage, mortgage, you know.

Oh. Life, you mean.

Yeah.

Now it's time to do something for me.

And is he a good pilot?

He's terrific.

He's a lot more together than I was at his age.

Hell. I had a five -year -old, no job, and about three cents in the bank.

Scotty! Scott, hi.

Speak of the devil.

Come and join us.

She's not your type, Dennis.

Sorry about that.

I've never seen him like this.

He's a lot like his mother.

That is one very nice piece of realism.

Is that what you're into?

Well, that's what this is all about.

Well, why don't we land so you can really check it out? No, no, no, that's

great.

Tell me, how far do you think it is from the front door of the resort to the

landing strip?

Four k's, maybe just under.

Do you mind if I ask you something?

Not at all.

What's the problem between you and Scotty?

Why do you ask?

He's my friend.

Okay, you're doing fine. Just ease off in the mixture.

Enough?

A bit more.

Sorry. Perfect.

This is life.

How can you look so relaxed?

Because you're doing great.

I feel sick.

Well, it would help if you breathe.

Sorry.

And just loosen your grip a little bit.

All right.

We'll head out in the training area.

Have a go at climbing, turning, stalling, all that stuff.

Okay. And Gillian?

What?

Breathe.

I didn't mean to embarrass you, but... Scotty, you might like to know why your

dad wanted to see the rec room.

It's because he thought you might be there.

Yes, so what?

Look, I know it's none of my business, but don't you think you're being a bit

hard on him?

Why don't you give him a chance?

He had had a long time to get to know me.

Why now?

Why don't you ask him, Scotty?

You could do it.

Just ease along with the trip and lay down like a chook.

Please.

Well, like an eagle.

Or an albatross.

The plane will land. It's not that hard.

I'm just not ready yet, Chris.

Why not?

It's got a lot to do with flying towards the ground at a high speed.

You sure?

All right, next time.

Maybe.

Sydney Centre.

Echo Whiskey Victor is 0 -1 miles, maintaining 9 ,000. Request clearance.

Echo Whiskey Victor, you are identified at 0 -1 miles. We'll cancel the diet

track directly.

Maintain 9 ,000. Contact approach at 4 -5 DME.

Are you sure you don't want a drink?

Look, I didn't come here to make friends, OK? So don't get any ideas.

You can't just walk back into my life after 15 years. It doesn't work like

It hasn't been 15 years. You walked out when I was eight.

Look, we've been through all that.

I said I'm sorry. How many times do I have to apologise?

You walk out on me and Mum, and you say you're sorry as if you bumped somebody

in the street. I can't believe that.

I'm here on business.

I wanted to see you.

I'm sorry, but I did.

So you expect me to ignore everything and just carry on as if nothing had

happened?

Look, I'm saying that I'm here and I want us to be friends.

What is wrong with that?

Well, there's only one thing left to conquer after a landing.

What's that?

The crowd at the safari boat. Oh, I thought that was just the pilot.

Well, what are you?

Alan, hi.

Hi, darling.

Alan, this is Chris Manning.

He's my instructor. This is Alan, my husband.

Chris? G'day.

What are you doing here?

Oh, you'd never believe it.

Michael Marsden was getting a flight and he saw you two heading out. He called

me at the office.

Small world.

Dinner just.

I hope I didn't ruin any surprise.

No. No, darling, I'm glad you're here.

How's she going? Can she fly?

Well, she will be able to once she learns to breathe by herself.

No.

Well, thanks again.

Hey, what?

See you later.

Thanks. Bye.

Alan, I'm really glad you're here. I was going to... Get going.

No, you said you would meet me. You said. So I got there early, just in

Scott. I waited for you. I mean, I waited till it got dark, Dennis, and

kept waiting. This stupid little kid on a street corner waiting for his dad to

keep a promise.

I'm still waiting.

I'm sorry.

How could you do that? What happened? Did you just forget or what? I got

up. I kept calling till about eight that night. There's no answer. Then I had to

be on a plane.

Yeah, well, I learned, okay? It was very hard for me, Dad.

But I learned that I didn't need you anymore.

Scott, I'm saying it's different now. Things have changed. I'm asking for a

chance. No, just forget it, okay? You go to hell. That's what I came here to

tell you. You stay out of my life!

Thanks, mate.

Hi.

Hi, Pilot.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to tell you in person. I'm not doing any more lessons.

What?

You can't quit now. You're carving it up.

I've just got too much on.

Well, give somebody else a flick.

I thought you said you were doing it for you.

I am.

I was.

Well, there you go.

Look, I am sorry for the inconvenience, but it's just not possible.

Okay.

Thanks for your support, Chris.

I really appreciate it.

Do I have to watch your every move?

You're 40, Gillian, not 14.

You're carrying on like a bloody schoolgirl. Don't, Alan. I came here to

the lesson. Oh, is that right?

In a pub with our pilot.

God, you look ridiculous.

Stop it, Alan, please.

He is a nice man.

Oh, nice. So it's nice now, isn't it?

Is this some sort of a midlife crisis?

You've got three children, Gillian.

And look at your hair. How long have you been wearing it like that?

For God's sake, Alan.

I have cancelled the flight.

Come on.

A. Stop and change the tyre for her.

As if.

B.

Accelerate and look the other way. Or C.

Drive straight past with a comment to your passenger about feminism.

You've just got to give us a hand. They're picking on me.

I'd stop and help her, I hope.

You're a girl. That doesn't count.

Yeah, Jimbo. It's only for men.

And what are the options again? If it's only for men...

Why is it in a women's magazine?

Because men read it.

Tell Lauren what you got.

He got a ghost caveman.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you just about to head off?

Yeah, I've got to run to Kilgandra.

Can't cancel my lessons.

Of course you can.

Good.

Can we go now?

I really want to do this.

Are you all right? Maybe we should leave it till tomorrow. No, no, I don't... I

want to do it now. I want to do it right now.

OK.

Let's go.

Just relax.

Okay, I'll come.

Big Sky, here comes Whiskey Victor.

Big Sky, Chris, how's that storm front?

Say, we're smack bang and we've got a 12 ,000 foot ceiling.

We're putting down, we'll sit it out.

Gotcha, Chris. Big Sky.

Here comes Whiskey Victor.

What if lightning hits the plane?

It's already had.

Don't worry, it's part of the instrument. more than that.

Not what?

Hang on, this is going to be a tad rough.

Hello, straight out, how much they cost?

Or C, leave the receipt in a place where you know she'll find it. I wouldn't buy

her pearls in the first place. No, that's not the point. And I wouldn't

that much on her anyway.

Yeah, but if you did.

Shay, that weather warning on the central west, can you check with Chris

if he'll be delayed?

Already did.

Oh, and?

You have to get back. It's critical.

I'm sorry.

But the storm's passed.

Yeah, I know.

But there's no way I can take her from this paddock in this light.

I'm sorry.

But we have to.

Well, we can call the base and notify your husband if that's... No.

No, I don't want him to know where I am.

Where's my wife?

With me. Is she with him?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Gillian Masters. She's

flying instructions. And where is she?

Gillian, um... Well, she's not here, if that's what you mean. I haven't seen her

since before lunch.

Go home, Scotty.

You're making the place look untidy.

Do you want to, uh...

Come up to the safari bar and get legless.

No.

Hey, look, I'm taking your old man up north tomorrow. Why don't you come?

It'll be you to fix it.

Why not?

Cut it out with the self -indulgence. Scotty, what have you got to lose?

Oh, I'll think about it.

Would you think I was interfering if I told you you were acting like a

Yep. Yeah? Well, you're acting like a dickhead.

He's not what he seems, Jimbo.

He's a con man, you know? He's always got an angle.

He doesn't care who he treats. I mean, he can be whatever he wants.

It's his life.

I tried to get to know him before, believe me.

He's life to me.

It's worth it.

I'll radio the pilot and find out. Did you settle down?

Well, you can call whoever you like. I'm not leaving here until that bastard

brings my wife back. Mr Masters, I run this company. If your wife was with

Manning, I'd know about it.

Echo Whiskey, Victor.

Ah, yeah, go ahead, Chris.

The storm's passed, but I've had to land in a fairly rough paddock, and I'm

going to hang here overnight.

Ah, excuse me. Yeah, OK.

Ah, listen, Chris, this might sound a little weird. I don't suppose you've got

Gillian Masters out there with you?

Why do you ask?

I have a husband here and he seems to think you might know where she is.

Sorry, no idea.

Don't kick me out, Scott.

How did you find me? Lexi gave me your address.

And so did your mate Jimbo.

I told him not to.

Well, it wouldn't have done any good.

Your boss told me to.

You've finally done it, Scott. You've got yourself a family without realising

it. They all really like you.

Hey, this is good.

Did you set all this up yourself?

You still don't understand, do you?

You don't get it.

No, I'm sorry, mate. I don't.

Couldn't even turn up at my mother's funeral.

You spent 12 years of your life with her and you couldn't even be bothered doing

that. I told you, I could not get away. Listen, can you hear yourself?

You're always trying to sound like you're some kind of businessman. You

had a prior engagement. I couldn't make it. Can you hear how ridiculous... Look,

she was dead, okay? And I needed you there.

Surely they couldn't have found it.

It's okay.

I'm not that hungry.

Help me keep warm.

If you're so sure he's lying, I suggest you come back in the morning.

Oh, you bet I will.

And if he's been anywhere near my wife, I'll come down on this place like a...

Will you stop bullying me?

Are you making threats, Mr Masters?

I hope that wasn't a threat. I don't tend to like them. They get my back up.

I'll see you in the morning.

Yeah, you do that.

That's the truth. Oh, yeah, but you hurt her her whole life.

I know.

And you insult her, too. I mean, she's your wife, Dennis, and you couldn't be

bothered turning up to her burial.

Scott, look at me.

I was in prison.

I did a deal with some guys and it went wrong. It was stupid.

I couldn't tell you because, believe me, I was too ashamed.

In prison?

For 18 months.

I knew that if I told you you'd want to come and see me and I could not stand

that.

I didn't want you seeing that your old man was nothing but a jailbird.

You should have told me. I couldn't.

I've been to her grave, Scott.

I've said my goodbyes.

I wanted him as a father.

Like everyone else.

Well, you've got one, mate.

I'm here.

Yeah, my dad.

He was the one who encouraged me to get my license.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, the three boys already had theirs, so...

It just seemed like the logical thing to do.

I always tried to do what they did.

And I thought all country kids rode horses.

Oh, what a discovery.

So then you met Buggerlug.

Buggerlug.

He was everything my mother wanted.

Sophisticated, wealthy, educated.

Warring. Conservative.

Oh, well, that's a good reason to get married. No.

I loved him.

It all happened so fast. Suddenly, there I was. I had a big house, a husband,

three kids.

And then one day, last year, I looked in the mirror and I realised I was 40

years old.

There I was. I was a wife, a mother, a friend.

Customer?

I was defined by everybody else. I didn't know who I was anymore.

So did you tell him?

Yeah, I tried to.

And he just saw it as some sort of embarrassing female crisis.

Let me tell you something.

Flying ain't no embarrassing female crisis.

You're just saying that because you're my instructor.

And you should listen to your instructor, not your hubby.

Thank you, Mr Instructor.

Morning.

Hey, look at you. Nice threads.

Don't encourage him, mate.

Look, you take him. I'll stay here.

Okay, I'll try.

Why don't you come in here with me?

I'll stay here. Why not?

After you, Dan.

Thanks, mate.

Well, that's not fair.

A girl wouldn't do that for a bloke. Exactly.

Why did that make us the insensitive ones?

Are you guys this backlash I've heard about?

Yeah.

Yes, we are.

Well, maybe you are.

Number eight.

Your girlfriend is feeling sick and asks you to go out and buy tampons at the

chemist.

Do you, A, refuse and tell her that's women's business?

Yeah, that's a good option. True.

B, reluctantly agree and come back with toothpaste, a bottle of shampoo,

sunscreen and cough lollies as well. Well, maybe you need all those things.

Well, C...

Give her a lecture on the value of organisation and forethought.

Is there a deal where you just go out and buy them?

Can I help you?

Sir? Sir?

Okay, where's my wife?

It's all right, Shane.

Was he back yet?

No.

Well, how long is he going to be?

I don't understand all this. Why are you so sure Chris is with your wife?

way Chris would take a passenger on board without letting me know. It just

doesn't work like that. We'll see.

Can't I ring you at home or something?

I'm waiting right here because I want to talk to that bastard. Okay.

Not with him, eh?

Mr Masters!

I have never been so insulted. No, I'm not. Come on, hold on.

Where the hell do you think you are?

That is my wife.

Where the hell have you been?

That's my wife. Get out of here.

Gillian, no.

Gillian.

Can she fly it?

Yes, she can fly it.

Sooner or later, she's going to have to come down. Come on.

Call the tower. Tell them I'm coming over. Try and talk her down.

If anything happens to my wife... Yeah?

It'll be your fault.

Here we are, gentlemen.

It shows us.

What sort of business are you in?

Oh, it's... I've got to talk to some guys about an import -export deal.

Lexie said it was something about real estate.

Oh, yeah, there's a real property component in it, but that's not the

What do you mean by import -export exactly?

What does it sound like?

Dad, it sounds like euphemism for something.

Look, I told you.

From now on, I'm going straight. Don't mess up my big chance.

Okay, what do I do?

Jimbo, will you stick by the plane?

I'll be back. Okay.

Come here for a second.

Now, I want you to stay by the plane for 15 minutes.

Then I want you to take that car and pick me up at the front door of the

What are you up to?

All I'm asking you to do is to pick me up. Remember, exactly 15 minutes.

Sullivan? That's right. This is my partner.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

This way.

I

knew

it. Let's go.

What do you mean, let's go? I'm going back.

He said to wait.

Don't do it again. What did I tell you?

Scotty, you can't abandon him. Not with blokes like that.

He's doing his own juice. I don't give a damn.

Scotty, you can't.

I've got her on a long approach.

She wants to talk to you.

Echo with you, Victor. This is Chris Manning at flight control.

Julian, can you hear me?

Chris?

Can you help?

What are you up to?

I thought we were a team.

I know. I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I... Don't apologise.

It's OK.

Take it easy.

Chris, I can't land. I don't know what to do. Yes, you do.

I don't know how I'm going to... You can do this, Gillian.

I can't. Yes, you can.

You're in control of the plane. You can do it.

Just like I'm beside you.

And I'll talk you through it one clip at a time. All you've got to do is calm

down and listen.

All right?

Gillian?

Three minutes to go.

You shouldn't be doing this.

Are you kidding? This is great fun. You're lucky.

My dad's a dander.

I'll kill him.

Check out what he's wearing.

I think we'd better head him off at the park.

He's got nothing to do with me.

Your old man's in trouble, Scotty.

Scotty?

Yeah?

Uh, sorry.

Go.

Wait, that way.

Just wait there.

Looking good.

Are you tracking exactly parallel?

Yes. I think so.

Good.

That's runway 3 -4 ahead of you.

Wind is 3 -0 degrees at 15 knots.

That's about 10 knots across from you.

Meaning? Meaning you just have to allow for drift as you turn onto base.

It's okay, Gillian. We've done all this.

We went through it all, remember?

Yes, I know.

I know, I just thought... It's okay.

Just listen closely.

We'll be back here in no time.

Now, do your final checks.

Brakes, undercarriage in the mix.

Right.

Now, reduce your power to 1700 RPM and hold the nose up.

You're going to have to wait until your speed comes back into flat extension

range. That's the white area.

Right. There.

Good.

I want you to put out 10 degrees of flap.

Reduce speed to 120 knots.

It's at 120.

That's good.

You're doing great.

How high are you?

800 feet.

800. Okay.

I want you to put out 20 degrees of flap.

Reduce speed to 95 knots.

I think I'm a bit low.

Okay. That's all right.

Just increase your power.

Keep your speed at 95 knots.

Okay.

Good. You're ready to turn.

And remember, turn a little bit early to allow for the crosswind.

I can't do it, Chris.

Gillian, of course you can. I can see you're doing fine.

Just track along the extended centre line.

How did this happen?

Why would she do it? I don't understand.

Mr. Mathis, if you're half as intimidating with your wife as you have

me, I think you're at this pretty obvious.

You wouldn't be any relation to Paulie Sullivan, would you? The bouncer down at

the tap?

He's a big bloke. He's got your ears.

I thought not.

Is Alex home, you guy?

Yeah, yeah.

Yes, sir.

You can get up in a minute. Hurry.

Yes, sir.

Now, I want you to bring the power back.

Put it at full flat.

And keep your speed at 95 knots, OK?

But focus on the threshold of the runway and apply directly to it.

OK. I'm doing... God, what are those trucks for?

You think I'm going to crash, don't you? No, Gillian, no.

You're doing fine.

The truck's our only procedure.

Don't let them put you off. I can't do it, Chris. I'm blowing off course.

No, you'll be fine.

Get to the right rudder to point the aircraft straight along the runway. I'm

blowing off course. I'm too high, Chris. I can't do it.

I'm losing it, Kripa. I'm too high. I can't do it. Okay.

Okay. Okay, that's all right.

Abort the landing.

Just go around.

It's okay, Juliet.

We can see you. You're okay.

Just breathe and try to relax.

You'll be all right.

We'll just try again.

We'll just call that a dress rehearse.

It's got to be this time.

Okay.

Checking on our fuel for now.

You two wait right here.

Yes, sir.

Go, go, go!

Right,

I got you.

Now bring the power back, put out full flap, bring the speed back to 69.

on the threshold of the runway and aim to fly to it.

You're over the threshold.

Good. Don't look down.

Look ahead to the end of the runway and close the throttle.

right rudder to point the aircraft along the runway.

I'm blowing off course again. No you're not, no you're not.

That's the cross breeze.

Stay calm.

Now I want you to lower your left wing to stop the plane drifting and start to

hold off.

Aim to touch the left wheel, then right, then the nose wheel.

I'm done.

Thank God.

Okay.

How you doing, Paula?

Still breathing?

Yeah, just.

Take that whiskey, Victor.

I'm back.

Thank you, Chris.

the hell going on okay

I know it doesn't look good. Damn right!

All I've done is relieve some bad eggs of filthy money. No one innocent's been

hurt. Nothing bad's happened. So now you're Robin Hood, are you? Next you'll

telling me you're going to set up an orphanage for abandoned children, huh?

quite, but I... You just don't stop, do you? Look, Scott, I've got to tell

you... Just shut up, okay? Just shut up! I don't want to hear it. One more word

out of you and I'll land and put you out...

God, you're safe.

Come on, I'll take you home.

Could you let me go, please, Alan?

I... Thank you.

Thanks for everything.

You keep it.

You're a fly now.

Are you coming, Alan?

How long do you reckon that'll last?

As long as she wants.

Look, that's it. I'm just saying no more from now on. Scott, listen to me. No,

for the last time, get out of my life. Scott. No, listen to this.

Look, forget Mum.

Don't forget everything I've told you. I don't want you around because you're a

loser.

You're a nothing.

Have you done to him?

What have I done?

This isn't fair, Scotty. He needs you.

Oh, he needs me. That's a laugh.

Scotty, he's got big problems.

Oh, yeah, you bet he has. You know what's going to happen to him? He's

go to jail again, Lex.

Do you know why he's been so desperate to make things up to you?

He died.

What?

He told you this?

I don't believe this.

It's true. He's got cancer.

He's made it up, okay? He's conned you.

He wanted to get to know you, but he didn't want you feeling sorry for him.

No, just him.

Scotty. Dear Scott, sorry I stuffed up again.

I know now I shouldn't have involved you in that job.

When I saw how hurt you were, I realised that's all I've ever done.

For what it's worth, I'm very proud of you.

I would have liked to have known you better.

Anyway... This money is for you. Please accept it.

With love, your dad.

P .S.

Of course, I've had to take out some expenses.
