All language subtitles for The Straits 2012 S01E03 Yawor My Lovely 720p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

Hello...

I want Montebello.

How did this man know where to
find you? He had no warning.

Just once, OK?

Do you know why I slept with you?

I thought you might want
to support him.

I want him to be in charge
of this family.

Shut up. It's Noel's job.
You'd be great.

I'm just looking at
our accounts online

and I've noticed
a few of them are blocked.

Five shut down in the last week.

I'm not sure putting Sissi
on the books is a good idea.

She's a young girl
with a good life in front of her.

Boss, do we have any
property investments, locally?

Nothing. Your dad likes to keep
his assets liquid.

Theme music

They walk around in circles
round about the grave

They hide up in the mountains
for 100 days

25 women sing cascading down
Sun i kamap, sun i go daun

The devil will take your soul

The devil will take your soul.

How'd everything go?
Yeah, good.

I'll take 'em up today.
I've set up a halfway meet.

Good. Go careful.

What did you get your mother?
Patio heater.

What did you get her?

Hey, can you remember
to check the glasses tomorrow?

Last time we used Hardings
they were filthy.

That I can do.

Nuts.

Mm. The bag was already open.

Where's Gary?
He's packing.

He's got to go back. A few days off
the island can be explained away.

But a week? Starts to look like
we're not interested.

I don't think he is interested.

Somebody shot a gun
at our house up there.

If proper respect was being shown,

we would have known about that man
the moment he stepped ashore on Zey.

It's time certain families
were reminded about certain truths.

You're getting worked up.
No mocking me, Harry.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary.

Where did that come from?

I love it when
I can really feel you like that.

I want to spend all day
in bed with you.

I don't know
why they can't get a cab.

Well, why pay for a cab
when you have a daughter-in-law?

Isn't that the island style?

She loves you.
One day, maybe.

Well, I love you.

Oh, and remember -

'cause you're the one
I'm doing this for.

I live for you.

How much?
Um, better make it 12 kilos, uh?

That's a lot of pumpkins.

How many oranges do you think,
baby boy?

How would I know, Mum?

Ah, better make it
six kilos of oranges, too.

You pay for this. I'll head
across the road and get our meat.

Oh, and park in the disabled spot.

I got a sticker.

How long will you be?

I didn't realise being a cow
to your daughter-in-law

was a registered disability.
Sorry.

We don't have to be like this,
do we?

No, I just... I just don't want
any confusion, that's all.

I'm not confused.
You know what I want.

And what if I talked to Marou?

He'd never believe you.
Maybe.

But he wouldn't look at you
the same way again.

Who's grown a backbone?

Come on, wouldn't want you
to miss your flight.

What have I done?

Look, this accounting thing.

Give it a few more weeks.

If you're still not happy,
we'll reassess. We will.

What's happened?

I can't talk to you about it.
You can talk to me about anything.

It's not just...

.. some trivial shit.

What is it?

It's not the only one
he's bought this year, Dad.

There's one in Sydney,
Perth, Singapore.

All through a dummy company

with Paddy as sole director
and beneficiary.

How much have I lost, all up?

3.5 million.

Over the last three years.

All of it untraceable.

Before then, I don't know.

You are sure about this?

What's going to happen?

I'll talk to him.

Way up among the islands

Way up in the Coral Sea

Two things always go together

The middle sisters and memories

Just a crazy ukulele...

Morning.

Do you want to open
them boxes up for me, please?

No.

I'm supposed to ask, that's all.

I understand, bala.

It's important you take
your job seriously, huh?

How you been? Busy?

Nah.

Do you know next week's
my last week here?

I want to go back to TAFE
and finish off my art course.

When did you decide this?

Oh, no, it's OK, Auntie.

Tommy Wongai's going to take over.
It's all been arranged.

We'll have a yarn
about it later, Barry.

Yes, Auntie.
Good.

Don't worry, mate.
She's going home tomorrow.

At least the garden looks good, eh?

It's all good.
Paddy's been working on it.

Yeah. This house must be kept tidy.
I've been trying, Mum.

We'll serve our guests
on the verandah, yeah?

Can't we leave it?
Marou explained who's who.

This is not just about introductions.

The people on this island need to be
reminded WHO Gary Montebello is

and which family he represents.

Eddie, stack of washing up to do.

I hurt my foot, Auntie.
So?

You don't wash up with your foot!
Get up, eh?

Can I invite some people?

No, I'll invite all the guests.
Oh, great.

Gary,

it's not social.

This is strategy, yeah?

Eh!

Who are you?

My name is Joseph de Costa.

I am a friend of your son,
Gary Montebello,

from Cairns.

Indian?

Yes, from India.
Ah!

Cook rice?

Curry? Yeah, oh, good.

Them mob coming today,
them love curries.

You cook two types
and plenty of rice.

Yeah? Well, get going.

What are you standing there for?
Get rid of that rubbish!

G'day.

Sorry, mate.
Didn't, ah, see your house.

This your property?

That's right. Just the one night?

Yeah, flash-looking scope
you got there. What is it, army?

It's the new AGON.

But, er...

.. she keeps pulling
fractionally down.

I don't know what's wrong with it.

Spent much time up north?

It's just that the further north
you go,

the more the humidity
affects the scope.

Didn't think about that.
Just the tiniest fraction.

But could be enough
to be putting you off.

Thanks.

Wanna stick around for a cuppa?

Oh. Gotta put my tea on.

My wife's in Brisbane doing a course.

Hunting trip?

That's the plan.

Good pig shooting north of here.
What are you hunting?

Jammy bastard keeps me goggling
at his fish tank

for two hours, like a prick.

When I finally get in
it's 'scan this, scan that'.

800 bucks initial consultation.

800 bucks, Harry.

Know how many times
I could get my dick sucked for that?

YOUR dick?

And more scans this afternoon.

I know it sounds excessive,
but this bloke knows what he's doing.

Apparently he's the best there is.

I'd just rather not be
thinking about this stuff now.

You'll be right.

Just like the old man, eh?

It's not cancer.

Men like us don't die of cancer.

Yeah, so instead of playing safe
and shooting to his midfield,

this goalie just goes boom!

Ball flies like a tracer bullet
through the air

straight up the pitch, past everyone
and bang, into the back of the net.

The balls of it, Harry.
It's unbelievable.

How far out was he?
95 yards.

Some goal.

It's more than a goal.
It's a statement.

Gave me such a buzz, Harry,

to think that life could still have,
I don't know, miracles like that.

The balls of it, eh?

Exactly.

Beer?

Cheers, no.
I've got that biopsy today.

So.

How's that daughter of mine doing?

Feeling her way.

Caught her at the books this morning,

worrying some problem.

Good for her.
She even asked me a question.

Actually asked me a question
about the business.

All about some company we had

with a lot of real estate assets
on its books,

and you as sole director
and beneficiary.

Can't say I was any help.

I was sure you'd have
an explanation, though.

Yeah, I do.

The question's whether you want to
ruin a fishing trip listening to it.

Unless you're asking me something
altogether different.

It's been a long time since you
offered to show me the books.

Do you think I'm trying
to rip you off?

Like I need this bullshit now.

Bullshit? 3.5 million of my money?

That you control,
that you never told me about?

I saw the house on the crescent.

I would have given you money
if you asked. Why?

Shit, Harry,

I put my neck on the block
every day for your family.

You think what I do is easy?

You know they've got
a whole government department

that's trying to work out what I do.

You know, one slip up,
I go away for life, and this...

.. this is the thanks.

Take the house. Take it.

I can go away.

I used to babysit your kids,
for Christ's sake.

Yeah. You're family.

Please, Harry.

Relax.

Anything happened to you,
I'd have nobody to go fishing with.

Come on.

Have a beer.

One won't hurt you.
Looks like you need one.

Had me going there.

Two types of curry! Yum.

Eddie, about that Raskol, mate.
It was bad business, I know it.

Sorry, bro. Mum says
I have responsibility issues.

I'm not cleaning up your shit like
that again. I'm not your jap boy.

I hear ya. Joe neither.
He was a man for you that day.

Hey, it won't happen again.

Yeah, Kitty,
until the roof gets fixed,

I've been wanting to ask you
if it be alright

if we can have church services
here underneath your house.

Three weeks, a month at the most.

We'd be honoured to have
your church services here, yeah?

Thank you.

Now.

Perhaps you can clear
this one up for me.

Whatever.

Seems somebody shoot a gun
at our house.

A madman, be coming from PNG.

Oh, I be listening.

When my husband heard this,

straight away he want
to sell the crayfish factory,

take all our business
back to the mainland.

But that wouldn't suit anyone.

Would it?
No, true.

But, you know,
somebody must have known

there was an outsider
here on the island.

And why nobody tell my son?

Kitty, this one
be proper big mistake.

Mm.

Yeah, I speak.
It won't happen again.

That's all I want.

For my family to be safe.

Uh.

Ah.

I hear Tommy boy wants to be
the quarantine officer.

So how long are you here?
Just the school holidays.

Oh, OK. You like school?

Who likes school?

Yeah.
You're Gary Montebello, aren't you?

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
And you're, um -

Bridget.
Bridget.

Yep.
Yeah. Yeah, I remember you now.

Where from?

I've seen you on Facebook?

Facebook? I live on an island
where everyone knows everyone.

Why would I need Facebook?

Hello, bala.

Hey. I want you to stay on, yeah?

That quarantine job very important.

I spoke to Tommy's mother.

She understands
how things need to be.

Tommy'll get his turn.

But right now,

our family needs continuity.

True?

Yes, Auntie.

Good. Then we're settled, eh?

Wa.
Wa.

No, don't get up, bala.
Finish your kaikai, eh?

Some sop sop in there,
you still hungry, yah?

Gary.
Yes, I remember you.

Gary.

I may go have a lie down.

You go say a proper goodbye
to your elders.

Yawo, me old mate.

Best of British.

Did you see Paddy?

What did he say?

It was like you thought.

He's been stealing from us for years.

Jesus.

Really?
Yeah.

I mean, it's just a shame
that he didn't come to me first.

I'm so sorry, Dad.

What's going to happen now?
He's gone.

Extended holiday.

Left you in charge
of all his accounts.

OK.

Where?

Peru.

Why Peru?

Argentina, then.

South America's good.

It's hard to track people down there.

Choose an itinerary.

Let me know tonight

so we can all be on the same page
about this.

What did you do, Dad?

What did you do?

Dad!

What did you do?

He stole three million plus.

What do you think happened?

No.

Love.

We can't be soft.

That's what we're like.

The world comes after us, all of us.

You, your mum, Gary.

Sissi.

Sissi!

Sissi, come back here!

OK, remember you're part
of a big family on this island.

That means there are things
you might have to do

that you might not want to do.
Yes, Mum.

And remember, everyone's watching you
all the time.

Goodbye, Aunty. Have fun tonight.

We will, Eddie. And, baby boy -

stay away from Bridget Titui.

Yes, Mum.
And no parties, Eddie.

No, Aunty.

I'm relying on you both.

She's relying on you, bala.
Yeah, you too, mate.

What's happening to the world?

Hey, do you want a bite of this?

Ooh!

Hey, what did you end up doing
with that Raskol, anyway?

Got him something on the roads.

You hungry?

They've just started doing that.
They think it's funny.

Should I be worried?

Is it alright if I ask Sammy
to take us to the movies?

Just so you can concentrate
on the party

without the kids running around.

OK.

I'd do something about that.

It'll fester.

30-year anniversary.
Bet they have a pig, eh?

Oh, two, brother, three.

And a cake.

20 cakes.

Beer, wine, champagne.

Mm, what are you drinking?

Raskol trade.

Pure alcohol
and powdered whisky flavour.

Cheeky on the palate,
but you get used to it.

What did you trade for it?

They've got a little problem
with snakes.

Hey, Joe.

Hey, Joe

Where you going
with that washer in your hand?

Hey, Joe, sit down.

Joe-Joe.

Nice cleaning, man. Hey, listen.

I want to thank you for helping out.

My mum, she's a force of nature,
but - well, you saw.

Oh, she is a wonderful woman.

She cares about you so much.

If that was my mother, things
would have been much more difficult.

Ah, do you want a...

.. do you want a drink?

Mr Gary, man,
can you take me to Australia?

Mate, I just -
I want to go now.

I can't just click my fingers.

You run boats to the mainland
whenever you like.

You could take me today
if you wanted to.

He's got you there, brother.
Shut up. Today?

I think I have earned it.

He's right, bro. He's earned it.

Today?

Pain in the arse.

No wonder you love my mother.

They gave me some dugong.

Three boxes full,
so you better start liking it, huh?

How did Gary go?

He reminds me of you
when we first met.

Doesn't know what he wants, and
too bloody handsome for his own good.

I knew what I wanted
when I first met you.

You got burned yesterday.

And what happened here?

Show me.

Ah, you fool -

Have you been drinking?

A little.

Harry!

Why today?

I had a reason.

Like stuffing up our party?

No.

Sometimes...

.. you're like a child.

No more drink.

And those glasses
had better be clean.

Hey, thanks.

Things you might need
on the mainland, huh?

Thank you, Eddie.

Safe trip.

Ed.

Promised myself I wouldn't cry,
but...

Oh, just joking.

We'll see each other again. Hey!

Goodbye, Eddie.

See ya, bala.

What's in there?

He's cracked.

Yawo, Eddie!

Yawo, Joseph.

Thank you for this.
I will always be grateful.

Hey, no worries,
we just have to stop off on the way,

pick something up I need taken
to the mainland, alright?

Something like?
You won't even know it's there.

Shit!

Gary!

Are you alright?

Can you get out?

Gary, can you get out?

You wait here.
I'll go get some help, OK?

No, you have to catch your boat and
take that package for me, please.

You have broken ribs,
possibly a punctured lung.

Oh no, no...

.. it's not that painful! Shit!

I'll be right. I'll be right.

Come on.
Ohh!

Are you feeling better?

Can't you go any faster?

Snake! Shit!

Did it get you?

Oh, shit!

Only twice.
Oh my God, is it a deadly one?

It's not a friendly one.

OK. With snake bite
you have to stand still.

If I stand still,
the day I'm having,

the bush'll eat me alive.

I need a town. I need antivenom.

You need better luck.

Oh, you don't need to do that.

I'll get one of the waiters
to give it a wipe.

Sissi was supposed to take care of
the tables and chairs,

and you were supposed to remind her.

I don't know where she is.

But I'll track her down for you.

Hey, new threads.

Looking good.

You heard from your sister?

Why would I?

Tell your mum I'll be back soon.

OK.

Hey.

Hi.

She's back ten minutes

and already they're at each other
about table settings and whatever.

30 years of married bliss, huh?

What's the worst thing
you've ever done?

What have you done, Sissi?

I'm asking you.

I don't know. I broke a bloke's jaw
in a tackle on purpose.

And what had he done to you?

Well, there was just one wing spot
left in the team

and we were both going for it.

And what happened?

Nothing. I got away with it.

Half of me knew I would -
that's the awful bit.

And what's the worst thing
that's not football?

What is it?

What's Dad done?

You remember our old place on Zey?

I was three when we moved.

There was this big rainwater tank
at the side of the house.

Me and Noel used to climb in
and swim in it. Mad fun.

But Dad found us once.

He picked me up and belted the shit
out of me. No explanation.

I was so scared, Sissi.

But now I know why he did it.

Because we were being idiots.

I mean, kids drown in those things
all the time.

He was terrified at
the thought of that happening to us.

Dad's a hard bugger,
but he's always got his reasons.

Do you honestly think he's always
looking out for us?

'Cause I don't.

Shit.
What?

Dad.

Let go of me. I'm not going with you.

Dad, what are you doing?

You stay out of this.

It's OK.

You need to listen to me.
No!

Listen to me.

Listen to me!

Paddy had to go.

Things he knew about us,
there was no choice.

You always have a choice.

We don't. You don't.

We can't let people off the hook.

I wish we could.

I wish I could let you off the hook.

What's that mean?
This wasn't your fault.

It would have happened one way
or another, with or without you.

But shitty things like this
will happen again and again.

Understand me.

That's part of who we are.

Right now,

you need to come home and help
your mum with the party,

and pull yourself together

for when people come around
asking about Paddy.

I can't do this.

You tell Mum about Natasha,
or I will.

Hey, my ribs don't hurt anymore.
I think I'm getting better.

This means the snake's venom
is all through your body.

Course it does.
Hey, what are you, Joseph? Christian?

Hindu.

That's karma, right?

Do you believe in it?

Yes, of course.

Have you ever seen luck
like I've had today?

It is unusually bad.
It's unnaturally bad.

Gary, this is not karma.

No? Hit by a branch,
bitten by a snake.

On the islands
they call this a curse.

The spirits are not happy with me.

We are here, come on.

Excuse me, please.
This man, he needs an anti-venom.

And he'd get some if a certain
person hadn't stolen it all.

Who would steal anti-venom?

Eddie!

Eddie Tagobe!

Eddie!

I will kill you, Eddie,
you venom-stealing arsehole!

What have I done?

What have I done?

I need a drink.

OK, just hold on.

A drink. If I'm going to die,
I want to die drunk.

Right. Look. Here is some whisky.

OK, now...

.. you try to relax.

Good. Gary, you are a good man.

I'm not a good man.

I have to tell someone
what I've done.

I can't die like this.

I can't die like this.

Hey. Let the caterers do that.

No, they'll overcook them.

Anyway, it's not in their blood.

30 years, eh?

Seem like yesterday?

Not at all.

Yeah, I remember our wedding.

Wish I could have talked to myself
back then

and said 'Pull your head in. '

This will pass. Trust me.

Hey, um,
have you seen your sister?

Nuh.

Excuse us.

Yes?

Daddy?
What is it?

Oh...

.. I've done something bad.

Are you high?

What have you taken, Gary?

Now it's gonna punish me.
What have you taken?

This is the sort of bullshit
that has to stop, hear me?

Daddy, I...

.. I slept with Lola.

It was wrong

and I lied about it.

And now it's all come back on me.

Let's talk about this
in the morning.

There's no morning.

Alright. OK.

There's no morning anymore.

Everything will be OK.

Now it's all come...

.. come back on me.

It's alright.

Dad'll fix it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, mate.

Gary?

Gary.

Gary, it's me.

You're safe.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you too.

Charlie Chuckles.
I made a joke.

Congratulations.
Kitty looks beautiful.

What was that this afternoon, Dad?

It's complicated.

Is Sissi alright?

I'll explain later, alright?

Borrow your wife for a sec?

The band is amazing.
Where did you find them?

I want you out of here.

Pardon?

You slept with Gary.

I want you out of this family.

Wow, that's crazy. Did he say that?

Out. Now.

Fuck off, Harry.

You go or I'll kill ya.

Shit.

Agh! Wrong bloody turn.

Oh. Oh, it's more beautiful...

.. beautiful.

'It was music when I first
set eyes on you.

It is music still.

Love always. '

Here, wrap it for me, will you?

Oh!

Go home now, alright?

Harry. Harry?

Shaved head, thirties...

.. goatee.

Black station wagon
with a tyre on top.

Harry?

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

Honey!
God, let your strength be ours.

Give us your courage
in whatever new responsibilities

we're forced to embrace
because of this tragedy.

Your family's going to
need someone to take over.

You're not measuring up. Get fucked.

I'm not running.

If you did happen
to run, they'll find you.

You wanted Marou.
