Original subtitles

- How many are in the house, mate?

- Five, five.

- We've got another body down here.

Of all the children who was dad's favourite?

- Arawa would be least.

She and he never saw eye to eye.

- It would be easier

if you just left.

- Poor boy.

- Would you like me to come?

- Its okay, mate.

That won't be necessary.

Robin one shot to the head.

Margaret one above the eye.

Laniet hit three shots.

she probably survived the first.

Stephen one to the hand

and one to the top of the head.

Arawa, one to the forehead.

Maybe the noise wakes her.

She wonders, what the fuck is going on?

She gets up to have a look.

The shooter's coming towards her.

So she ducks back into the room.

The shooter up fires a shot that misses her.

One shot, two holes

because the curtain was folded like this.

Then he follows her into the room.

The victim backs away

or maybe she's down on her knees,

praying for her life.

When he shoots her at close range.

- All these flowers and cards

and calls of support has been nonstop.

They were all very loved.

There's no doubt about it.

That says something, doesn't it,

That people care just goes to show that.

- I wanna see the newspaper.

- Oh, love.

- And you leave it for a while.

- No, I wanna see it.

Thanks.

- You wanna take everything

with a grain of salt.

David, put it down.

Come on.

- What did they look like?

- At peace.

All were shot in the head.

So it would have been quick

except poor Stephen.

I'd say he put up a hell of a fight.

- They are coming?

They are coming?

- No, David.

- They're coming.

- No, no don't start.

- They lied to me

they were awake.

They knew.

- Who?

Your family, you mean?

- They were awake,

they would have seen them.

Its black hands.

I didn't take away my family.

I can't stop them.

- What are you saying, David?

What do you mean?

dying.

- Who's dying, David?

Your family?

David did you see your family dying?

David were you there?

- What?

No, no.

I only saw my mum and dad.

They were already dead.

- Don't leave me.

You can't leave me.

I love you.

Please let us be together forever and ever.

- Yes.

No, I can't.

- Why not?

- Cause I'm a fish just swimming around

in this little Chaplin river.

- I love fish and chips. - What?

- Oh, my God,

I am a fish.

- I love your scales.

- Let's swim away together.

Upstream.

- When we spawn, what then?

- At least will die in each other's fins.

This isn't Romeo and Juli-net.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry

but a fish?

Charlotte?

Oh, my God, everyone,

this is Charlotte.

She's like my oldest friend from Bayfield.

What are you doing here?

This year has been a bit of a write off.

too much partying to be honest.

So I thought I might as well enrol.

- Yeah, might as well.

- So how's the family.

- Yeah, great.

Mom and dad are just the same.

Dad's still principal down at Taieri Mouth.

Stephen's nearly 14.

Would you believe?

- I see Laniet around sometimes.

- Oh, yeah.

Her and mom weren't getting on.

So she's flatting in Russell street now.

But David's coming to uni soon.

- I thought he would be finished by now.

Yeah, he tried the Zoology thing,

but didn't really work out

but like they say,

first you don't succeed.

- Says the overachiever.

- I am not.

- Once a head girl,

always a head girl.

- They're here.

oh, lovely.

- We made it.

- Come on in.

Everyone's out the back.

- Stephen.

Don't get Casey worked up.

She'll bite someone.

- She won't.

She's a good dog.

- Casey.

Leave her alone she's fine.

She's my dog.

- My dog Sasha was way better.

Still don't ever forgive the council for putting her down.

- Yeah.

Cause she bit someone.

- Arawa, come tell uncle Bob

about queen of Heather.

She's competing this year.

We're very proud.

- My teacher suggested I sign up.

First place is a trip to Sydney.

So I thought, why not?

- I can go with you.

Oh, Well,

I'd have to win first.

- You take the Delasi out of Scotland,

but you can not take Scotland out of Delasi

- Don't you just hate Arawa.?

She's so good at everything she does.

- I'm doing summer Shakespeare.

You should come, 'The Tempest'.

You know, like we are such stuff as,

dreams are made on.

- Cool, yeah.

to be clear.

- That's great.

- How's that?

- There we go.

- You mean like this?

- That's the one.

You look just like David.

- Oh God.

- Oh, oh, oh, here she is.

- Laniet is just taking photos

for my queen of Heather application.

- Oh, yeah.

Reminds me, I've got to get those papers and photos from Scotland

but I met your grandmothers.

Yeah, well.

I better get this inside.

Mind your head.

- its not like he's even gonna be here for Christmas.

- Thanks, mom.

Are you okay?

He is still paying for your rent.

Isn't he?

- Yeah. but its not like I could actually afford

to have a life.

Its not my fault if I have to...

- What?

- You don't wanna know.

- Stephen, stop.

Its not funny.

- Can we open our presents now?

- Maybe just wait for mom.

- Yeah, we gotta wait for mom.

- Thanks, sis.

- Its okay.

Merry Christmas.

- Thanks.

Whose this one for?

That's for dad.

Just leave it there.

Hey, is mom awake yet?

- I took her a coffee.

Well, this is for you.

Its my favourite.

- Thanks.

Mom, you getting up?

We're doing presents.

- No, not today.

- But you have to.

What about Christmas lunch?

I'm not getting up into the atmosphere out there Arawa.

We're not clear.

And its making me ill.

You and David need to sort it.

- But that's not fair.

Dad's not even here.

- Just don't shout at me.

- You're being so unreasonable.

Why can't we be a normal family for once?

- Apologize.

I mean it.

Arawa, you say that you're sorry.

- its Christmas.

- Who can tell me what today is?

- Its Jesus' birthday.

- And we call it?

Would you like to get that one for me?

So I can put it under the chair?

Arawa what have you got?

wow, lovely.

- Stop.

- Thank you.

- For you, David.

There you go.

Thanks Arawa - You're welcome.

where are you going?

- I'm just going out.

- Who with?

Some friends from my drama group.

- I can take you.

Its okay.

I'm already getting picked up.

So don't worry about it.

- Have you talked to mom yet?

its been weeks, Arawa.

- its not my fault.

That's my ride.

Bye.

- Wow, This is amazing.

Where am I?

A rubbish dump.

A rubbish dump.

- Oh, look.

What a lovely used nappy.

Hi,

I'm a princess.

A clown.

- Clown.

A clown.

- We're all clowns here, aren't we?

- Oh, we are, we are, yes.

- That was marvellous.

Well done.

- Oh well, it wasn't just me.

- You're gonna make a wonderful teacher.

Your whole future is ahead of you.

Don't let anyone try and stop you.

- Thanks dad.

Anyway, I should...

- I'd give you a lift

if you don't mind waiting for a bit.

- I mean that's okay.

My friends, you know.

- Will you help me clean up?

- No, I'm doing the washroom.

- There's nothing to eat.

- Well, if you help

with the dishes then I'll go to the supermarket.

- Wrong.

- Do the dishes.

- No.

- Stephen

Did you do it cause I say so?

- Yeah. Cause that works.

- The devil gets in, you know.

when we think bad thoughts,

it makes our bodies unwell.

How does that feel?

- So good.

- Was there something you wanted to say to me?

- Sorry for yelling at you.

- That's all right then.

That shoulders always been a bit dicky.

- Mum.

What are we gonna do about David?

- How do you mean?

- He's being such a pain.

Especially with Stephen,

always trying to boss him.

He tries and acts like dad

but he's not.

- Father's not much chop either.

- Why don't you just,

why don't you just get a divorce

and lots of people do.

- Your father won't agree.

- Why not?

He's hardly ever here anyway.

And when he is, its just...

- I'll have a word with David.

This is the fourth time, David.

The fourth time I've had to talk to you

about the state of the house.

The untidiness of everything and the garden.

And there's no point in blaming others.

There's no caring or giving up here

on the other side of my curtains

and I am so angry at the continued sufferageness.

- Casey, come on.

Come on, Casey.

Come on, Casey.

Come on.

Oh,,

what's that you got there.

- Its my report for teacher's college.

- Well, this is outstanding.

A's.

Attitude, excellent.

Well done.

- You can't tell mom.

- Oh, she'll wanna know.

- Yeah, but she'll tell David

and he's already stressed

about going back to varsity.

- A's.

- We could take turns at the study group,

my place and then Arawa's.

- Why don't we just use the library?

- Because we can't have pizza.

- My place is kinda uncool.

- Library works for me.

We can get pizza.

- I might catch you guys up later.

David.

Hey.

- Hey.

- How's your day going?

- Great.

My music teacher's is impressed with me, very impressed.

He said that I'm so far ahead

of all the other students here, that

I probably shouldn't even be here, so.

Is that your boyfriend?

- No he's just my friend.

- Know guys only want one thing.

- I know I'm from Youth Opera

and I thought he was nice In a goofy kind of way.

But and my boyfriend told me the story

in their final year at Bayfield,

David told them about this girl

who lived on the next street over.

He said he could rape her and get away with it.

If he used his paper as a cover story.

- Okay. That's creepy.

- Come on.

Oh, they were like 17,

which is a stupid boy talk.

- Except there was like a book

with times written down and everything.

- Do us a favour.

Don't say anything to Arawa.

She really cares about him.

- I still got an hour and a half for classics.

If you wanted to go to the library and study.

- I mean, we can meet for lunch.

Most days you're free.

I just started the study group.

Also, you won't have to drive me anymore.

Fingers crossed.

I'm going for my license.

- Why would you wanna do that?

- So you don't have to drive me.

- I don't mind.

- its just something I want to do, you know?

I want my independence too, okay?

- You don't even have a car.

- I could use mom's as well, i said that.

- Well no, I'm using it most of the time.

- You can use your bike some times.

David.

- I'll see you at home.

Maybe you can get your boyfriend to give you a ride.

- Just get some glasses.

- Mom would kill us

if she knew we were doing this

but I don't care, we live here too.

- I hear it.

But I don't believe it.

- Hey, I can be bad if I wanna be.

- So you and Matt,

what's his story?

- He's my best friend.

Even if David doesn't approve.

- And...

- He's my best friend and I love him to bits.

- And...

- Sex always makes things too complicated.

- Not always.

- My parents used to all the time

Like In PNG

and we could hear them doing it.

And the door would be open

and we would sneak in and listen.

Gross.

Did you hear that car?

- Relax I'm the one smoking.

Not you.

- I know.

Just David will be home soon, so.

- So?

- okay.

So he's got a gun

Yeah.

Its only meant for rabbits.

Sometimes he just walks

around the house holding it.

Kinda freaks me out.

- What's he gonna do?

- I don't know.

- Are you serious?

- No.

This family is so fricking full

of secrets... you don't wanna know.

- Hello, is Arawa about?

I wanted to see

if she was free to babysit Saturday.

- I do say.

- Have you been away?

- Sorry.

- I haven't seen you around lately.

- No, I've been in bed, six weeks.

You should try it.

Like I have such a fresh perspective.

- I wanted to say about your guttering.

Wayne mentioned it to Robin.

When it rains, it pours off your roof.

- What about it?

- its a eroding the bank by our shed.

- Well, its all coming down.

The house, I mean.

We're building a new one.

Spick and span.

- I know you've been planning it for a while.

You'll mention it to Arawa?

About the babysitting?

- I saved the liver and kidneys for Casey.

- Please, don't.

It makes her breath stink.

Hey, have you done the washing?

Where's all my stuff?

I don't know.

- David I'm gonna be late for work.

- Maybe it got mixed in with my stuff.

Yeah, I'll go take a look.

- No, its fine.

I'll go.

- Arawa, no.

- God, David, do these look like yours?

You've got one job in this house.

- That is not true.

And you're never home these days.

- excuse me.

- Things are gonna be changing with the new house.

- Who says I'll even be here then.

- You're not going anywhere.

- Arawa.

- Hi guys.

- Can we build a fort?

- that's a good idea.

- Have you got pillows?

- Yeah.

And what about blankets or sheets?

Lots of those.

- Oh, that's what we need.

- Hey, kids.

Time to go brush your teeth.

- Hey, if you hurry

We might have time to build a Fort before bed.

- Yay.

- You are so good with them.

Come on, Wayne will be late.

I was talking to your mum.

She said that plans are coming along nicely

for the new house.

- Yeah, yeah.

Its gonna be really amazing.

I'm gonna have a dawn for watching the stars

and even a water feature

in the garden where we can just sit

and think or whatever.

Its going to be really cool.

- Wow. It sounds very nice.

It all started with John Bain Mackay,

founder of the Bain clan.

- Started, by the Cullen's don't you mean?

We were early settlers, in gan eden.

- We have a long history

of service with the Presbyterian ministry.

- Well, my speech has meant to be personal.

You know about what my Scottish heritage means to me.

- Marvellous. Let's hear it.

- Oh, its not ready.

Anyway, Rose Campbell will win.

She's been Scottish dancing

since she was five.

- I'm sorry there wasn't a whole lot

of Scottish dancing to be had

when you were growing up in New Guinea.

- We had some wonderful square dancers.

- You're not helping Robin.

You're going to be the Belle of the ball.

And that Rose Campbell is very plain.

- its not a beauty contest, mom.

Do you think its a bit...

- its perfect.

Never be ashamed of your body.

its as God intended.

thanks to the new wonder bra.

It'll take some time getting used to it.

- Mom.

- Wonder bra.

- What's going on?

- Wonder bra, David.

- Arawa has balls to attend

for the competition.

His sponsors donated these.

- She looks beautiful.

Oh, guess what?

The breakfast they're having at Yuna, same space.

I'm going too.

- I think its just for contestants and sponsors.

- I know I rang up Munis

and one of the chaperones couldn't make it.

So I'm taking his place

So we can go together.

- You know, that's really neat.

- Now, you boys can leave

cause we have another dress to do.

David likes to be involved.

That's all.

- Yeah, I know.

But sometimes its a bit much.

Now he won't leave me alone.

- Well, he's your brother.

He cares about you.

- Hey, mom.

How would you feel about me getting a flat?

I don't mean now.

Not right away,

but maybe next year

- God told me this was your year

to make the most of your abilities.

It doesn't mean you can turn around and ruin everything.

- I didn't mean to upset you.

- Maybe I should just tear up all my plans

and designs and drawings

and buy a little apartment for me and Stephen

and leave the rest of you to your selfishness.

Oh, this is your father.

He's even picked us all with the bell.

I need to clear the room.

I need to clear all the rooms.

- You have to come skiing with us

this semester break.

- I'll try.

- You have to.

So boring being stuck

in Monaco with just my family.

Oh, poor you.

- I might catch you guys up later.

- But we're having lunch in the cafeteria.

- Yeah, but I should probably sit with David.

- He's big enough and ugly enough

to take care of himself.

- He can make his own friends.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Can I talk to you?

- Come on, pretty lady.

Join us for the beer.

Come on.

You play your cards, right?

You and I could do a bit of business together.

- Daren.

- She doesn't even know what we're talking.

Bet she doesn't.

- She's done a few jobs before.

She a real goer,

my sister, ask anyone.

Relax we were just... giving you shit,

You'll get used to it.

Don't worry about it.

Make yourself at home.

- I went by your work.

They said you don't work there anymore.

- I, they gave me the boot.

It wasn't my fault.

- Well, does dad know?

You have to come home, Lani.

People talk.

Stuff gets around.

- Darren and me?

We're just mates.

- I know what he is Lani.

What do you think mum and dad would feel

if they knew about it.

It would break their hearts.

Breaks my heart.

- Its all right for you,

I mean, you're the golden girl.

Everyone loves Arawa and I'm the fuck up.

- Hey, Hey,

I wasn't saying that.

- I know you're ashamed of me.

- I'm not.

I care about you.

- Why?

Such a loser.

- No, you're not.

You're my favourite sister.

- I'm your only sister.

- You used to be so sweet and happy.

Even if you were in a pig stye.

- Hey.

- Something's never change.

- Hey.

- What are you doing?

- The computer and stuff.

Someone could steal it.

So, I'm keeping it locked when I'm not here.

- All right, if you've got the car keys.

Where are you going?

- Just to take pictures.

- Who with?

- On my own.

- I'll drop you off.

- Leanne, hi.

- Hi, Arawa.

Is Laniet here?

- Oh, no just me.

- Okay.

I haven't seen much of her lately.

- Oh, yeah, she went a bit wild for a while there

but she's actually working

with me at the museum cafe now.

- That's so good to hear.

I'll drop by for a coffee.

Definitely.

Anyway.

- Oh, do you want to lift home?

- Its okay.

Can you get a bus

- David's picking me up

and we can give you a ride.

Oh, you'd be doing me a favour please.

- Are you okay?

- Its not that bad.

oh, here he is, now.

Are you're coming?

- If you like.

- Thank you.

I told Leanne we'd give her a lift.

Hi.

- Hey.

- And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.

Our judges have made their decision

and a very difficult one was to.

What a lovely

and talented group of young ladies.

we have competing this year.

- All right, fourth place,

the McNicole cup goes to,

Arawa Cullen Bain.

And third place goes to Lisa Rowland.

- Hey.

- Well done.

- Thanks.

I told you Rose Campbell would win.

- You were way better.

It was rigged.

- It was just the Scottish dancing

but it was just fun to be part of it.

- Well, not as fun as actually winning.

- Yes, David.

W me.

Dad.

- Hello.

- What are you doing here?

- Have you been here the whole time?

I thought you were on campus with Laniet.

- Oh, miss your trials?

Never.

It was a lovely speech.

Lovely.

I was very moved.

Not good enough though.

- Oh, well its god that you've tried.

Your mother's not...

she had another asthma attack.

- We were actually just about

to go get her some coffee, so.

- Oh yeah.

Well, I'll leave you to it and...

- I'm glad you came.

And actually I told my friends,

I'd catch up with them afterwards.

So see you guys latter.

- How are you feeling now David?

- Better.

Thanks aunt, yeah.

- Well, that's good to hear, isn't it?

Yes. Yes.

We do need to talk the subject

of the funeral, have come up

and of course you don't have to be involved

if you don't want to.

- No, no.

I do.

I absolutely do.

I already told the lady at victim support there.

- All right, well.

- I'll need a new black top first ah.

- No, don't do that.

This isn't a bad thing.

Not in our family.

Funerals should be a celebration.

Sunday would be good.

It was our family day.

- Well, we were thinking it might be nice

if you accompany grandmother.

She's quite at frail

but she'd love to attend.

- No, no, that won't work.

Sorry. I don't understand.

- I should be walking behind the coffins by myself.

And then inside the church,

I should be singing a solo for mom

alongside the Male Choir.

Something from Faure's Requiem, I think.

And obviously for Laniet,

we should be playing.

'Who Wants to Live Forever' by Queen.

It was her favourite song.

I've actually been making a funeral tape.

Do you wanna listen?

Think Laniet should be wearing dark green or blue.

Why aren't you crying?

I think Arawa should be wearing her ball gown dress,

the blue one,

and also her Wonder bra with her gold earrings on.

All right, now.

- And it was also a 20th birthday this weekend.

So, well, we to have to have a party.

That's enough.

That's enough for now.

We can talk about all of this later

- But I know exactly what I want.

Yes, you seem quite sure.

- Yeah, I've had a lot of time to think about it.

Funerals.

We talked about it as a family.

What we wanted and things.

Except for Steven.

He wasn't really interested.

Yeah, he's always fighter.

He's a good kid.

Father, though,

he didn't go easy.

- David.

- You wanna know something?

If dad did it,

I could never forgive him.

Night, everyone.

- Night. - Oh, night, David.

Sleep well, love.

- Yeah.

- He's always been a bit of an odd one.

- The detective said I should call him

if we have any worries or concerns.

- Well, then.

- What have we got?

- I found this.

- A latency.

Where was it?

- On the floor of the youngest boy's room.

- Christ.

its taken what?

Three days to find it?

- You saw the state of the room.

David said his own glasses were away being repaired.

So, why do you reckon there was another frame

in his room and a matching Pair on Steven's floor?

According to his aunt,

David's got all kinds of crazy plans

for the funeral.

Wants to cremate his parents,

burry the siblings with a place left for him.

Family is unhappy.

But he won't be talked out of it.

- If I'm being honest,

the boss wants us to arrest him

before the funeral to avoid a fuss

but I'd like a bit more time.
