Your salad, sir. Thank you. Midori-chan. Midori-chan. Midori. You saw her leaving the lift? Yes, sir. And she was heading towards her room? Yes, sir. I got off on this floor to deliver a fax. And that was the last time you saw her? Our camera's there and at the staff door. So that's the hour? Between when he left to have a drink and when he arrived in his bedroom. Kind of cute, isn't she? Well, maybe she was just pissed off, couldn't stand him or something. It was their honeymoon. Got something. Staff entrance. The hotel manager's just had a call. It was her. Mmm. All she said was that she'd been kidnapped. That's all? Yes. And then she put the phone down. How much English does he understand? A little. Tell him that his wife has rung, and all she said was that she was kidnapped. Does he have any idea why she'd be kidnapped? No. Now an update on the kidnapping of the Japanese honeymooner. Shit. Like this. So she paid you to take her out this way? I felt sorry for her. Said she hated her husband and she wanted to leave him. We know where she is. Paradiso motel. The manager just called. Come on, let's go! Use the key this time. Police! Down on the floor! An international code. Yeah. Japan. Same number over and over again. Could have gone anywhere, bish. Hey. Who's gonna pay the bill? His wife rang one number in Tokyo over and over again. It was the manager of a software firm she worked for, a man by the name of sadao kinugasa. The Japanese police spoke to him. It appears his wife and sadao had a relationship. And she planned to leave him in Australia. The manager was going to fly out and they'd live together, but at the last moment he got cold feet. Thank you... Mr. bishop. He took that well. You think? Well, I mean, he'd be the most publicized cuckold in Japan. Hello. Sayonara. Dad. This is the, uh, fellow I was telling you about. You drive a car good? Oh, he's brilliant. This is, uh, gullbuddin, my brother, and Tony, a good friend of the family. Butchers don't do it right. What's your name? Colin. Are you gonna help us? Well, are you? Yeah, all right. Why are you doing this? I need the money. Now I am gonna trust you. If you let me and my sons down... Then I'm gonna kill you. What if they let me down? You gonna kill them? I hope... You drive fancy as you talk. I do. Ha ha ha ha ha! Here. I don't need a gun, mate. Take the gun. I'm just the chauffeur. You do what we agreed. You share the risk. Hey, I'm doing you a favor. You carry a gun. Next. Next. Teller 5, miss. Thank you. Can you change? I have to see your passport. Here. Get down! Down! Down! Get down! Get down! Get down on the floor, all of you! Get on the floor! Everybody down! On the floor! On the floor! Get down! You tellers there! Fill that up. Do it! Aah! Jesus! Put the fuckin' screen down! Let's go! Let's go! Put it the fuck down! We're outta here! Come on! What about him? Come on, let's go! What about him? We can't leave him there. It's too late, mate, too late. Come on, let's go! Come on, you're coming with me. Come on! Everyone stay down! Stay down! Aah! Let's go! Don't shoot! I swear, we'll shoot her! Get in there. Get in the fuckin' car. Move it. Come on. Aah! Shit. Where'd the bloody coppers come from, the stupid bastards?! What happened to Tony? The fuckin' idiot was supposed to watch the fuckin' tellers, the stupid bastard! Shut up! What do we do? She's seen you. So fuckin' what? You fuckin' take care of her now! Fuck! Aah... Shut the fuck up or I'll kill you! Come here! No! No! What are you doing? She saw us. You can't just kill her. She didn't do anything. You stay in the car, Colin. You stay in the fuckin' car! Ohh! Get down! Down! Stay down! Murderer! Brother! Ah, Jesus. Go back to the car. Go back to the car. She didn't do anything, man. She?! Who the fuck is she?! You killed my brother! Just stay there. Stay there! You fuckin' traitor. Car! I'm gonna come and get you! You'll never get away with this! I'll find you! Get in the car! You're a fuckin' dead man! You're a dead man, you hear me?! You're gonna fuckin' die, man! It's her, and she left these behind. She dropped it during the robbery. I had it translated. It's an apology to him. He said, "why is she doing this to me?" You're on your own. It's safer if you stay here. He took her hostage! If he'd listened to me, he wouldn't be shot! You trusted him. You give him the gun... And he killed your brother. Hello. I want to speak to mahood. It's Colin. Colin? You know it was an accident with your brother, mahood. You said to me no one would get hurt. I'm not gonna pretend I'm not angry, Colin. Th-things just got a little out of hand, eh? You know? Uh, wh-what about you? Uh... You ok? You, uh... You need some money? No, I'll manage, mate. Look, uh, things got a bit messy, didn't they? Just... Thought I'd try and do you a bit of a favor. Where are you, mate? I'm in the middle of nowhere. I'll call you when I get to a town. Aah! We get gasoline for the car? Can you get me a hamburger? Hamburger? Yeah. Hamburger. Just right over there. Hamburger? Ok. Ok. Hungry? Christ, I've never seen one without a camera before. Ha ha ha! Uh... Excuse me. Can I have a hamburger? Sure. What would you like on it? A hamburger. Do you want the lot? A lot? The lot--lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sauce. The lot. Uh... Aah! What the hell are you doing with my truck? Don't you realize that stealing is a crime? You're so lucky I'm not on benzedrine tonight. Uhh! Otherwise, I'd be doing a lot more than hurting you. Uhh! I think I'll ask what his hamburger wants. Thank you. No! Don't do that! Piss off! Naughty boy! Ohh! You let our standards slip by interbreeding with inferior races, and before you know it, we'll be breeding half-wits and mongrels! Aah... Uhh! You ok? Aah! Why didn't you just tell him? I was coward. He was so desperate to marry me. And my parents says... It's a good choice. I thought I could do it... But I was wrong. Why don't you just give yourself up, tell him I kidnapped you and forced you to help me? No. Don't you want to get back to Japan? No. I don't want to go back. I have no future there. Many people in Japan, they have no true life. Everybody has dream, but they scared to make dream come true because they are raised in a certain way. That's why... I liked sadao. He was my lover. He said... We would live here... You know? We would have a future. But he was too scared to live. I was stupid. But I dreamt that I could have a new life. It was all my fault. I think I should have told yukio the truth from the beginning. What is that? It's a kookaburra. Kookaburra? Mm-hmm. It's a bird. The bird? The bird laughs? This is strange country. I can breathe here. What do we do now? Keep on going? Not without money. I know how to get money. From a bank. I've had enough of banks. We can do better than your friend. When we do it... We can't go backward. Aah! I hate people staring at me when I eat. Sorry, bish. Yeah? So what? This morning at a country bank. This morning. Looks like they're a team. What'd he say? He said... She's a strange woman. She's one in a million, all right. Were you in on the robbery with your brother? No. So he did it without your knowledge. I was not my brother's keeper, all right? You seem to me to be a pretty close-knit family. He was a bad boy. So it would seem. Do you know who these people are? No. Well, my bet is... That the bloke in the balaclava shot your son. We'll keep an eye on them. Christ, fancy living here with that yodeling 5 times a day. You might as well be in fuckin' Arabia. Can you hack into systems? What sort? You know, American express or something like that. Sure, given time. What about hotel/motel chains? Check it out. Well, he's always been wearing a balaclava. So nobody knows who he is. He's traveling across country. He'll check into a motel... And use his real name. We'll check every day. I will be vengeance. There's no a.C. No. Fair enough. I'll give you 250 off. Indicators don't work. It's only a fuse. Hand brake's fucked. Well, don't park on any hills. All right, 300 off. That's it. Done. Good. We'll leave that for 30 minutes. Nice hands. Ooh. What? Nice lines. Except for that one. What does it mean? You or somebody important to you dies suddenly. When? I don't know. Palms don't have dates. See? I've got a line like yours. But the rest of your palm's great. You got any welding gear? Yep. Can I use it? Be my guest. It's 25 bucks an hour. 2 hours minimum. Thank you. What a spunk. Spunk? It's when you give a blow job on the first date. Blow job? Something to do with whales. Whales. Ohh! I can breathe! I can breathe! What are you doing? Changing our fate. Shit! Hell! You ok? Jesus. The japs taken over heaven, too? You're lucky we didn't kill you. You call that luck? Unless you've got a bottle of scotch. Where are youse two headin'? My dad's got a farm outside rileytown. Rileytown. I used to shear sheep down there. What's his name? O'brien. I know him. Did a season for him. He's ok. Top man in his field. Why are you out here? Couple of smart bastards kidnapped me in the pub last night. Pissed as they were. They dropped me out here. Why? They're fuckin' wankers, that's why. They know nothing about classical music... And nothing about accordions. Whoo! Maybe your mates know something about noise pollution. What the fuck do you mean by that? Don't you know any other tunes? This isn't a tune, mate. This is a masterpiece. Hey. Why don't you play something we all know? What would you fuckin' know, pal? Why don't you just stop fuckin' playin', mate? Fuckin' make me! Maybe I fuckin' will. All right. Bit of radio, hey? I should hang on to this and do your mates a favor. Just give it here and get fucked. Look after yourself, smiley. Yeah, thanks for the lift. Which way's that motel? About an hour down the road. You can't miss it. Straight ahead. Bye, Jonah. See ya later. Bye! Cretins. A beer! Please. Aw, give us a break, Gloria. Oh, he's got one! Fucking ignorant cunt. Could I have a beer, please? Hey! You couldn't fucking get rid of me, could you, you pack of scumbags? Jonah, stop it! Get out of here! Go on, get! Now throw me out! You stop that bloody racket! It's not racket, it's music. How long do you want to stay? Just a day. Maybe 2. Room 19. Thanks. Well, thank you very much. Ok. Are you sure that's him? The woman at the motel said he's with a Japanese or Chinese girl. That's him all right. How long will it take us to get there? If we hire a light plane, 3, 4 hours. We are not hiring a plane. We can be traced then. It's 14 or 15 by car. We are going to do it in my way. Come. Owns a bike. Look out! Now let me get this right. You're Laurel... And I'm Hardy. You can take the double. I like this one. Good night. Good night. I really like this. I feel like I'm alive. Good. I like you very much. Do you like me? Yes, I do. I made a mistake with my husband. I didn't love him. And my other mistake was my boss. I thought I loved him. That's ok. People make mistakes. Two bad, bad mistakes. But... You're not a mistake. Thanks. I really feel... Deep thing in my heart for you. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't want to hurt you. I'm bad luck. Bad luck for any man. I have dreamt of this even when I was awake. She's not here. Where's the jap? She left me. Where is she? You are not going to tell us. Very well. We'd sooner talk to you. I didn't mean to kill your son. There is a hurt... Here... Where my son should be. Now I have to fix this hurt. What is the saying? An eye for an eye. A hand for a hand. Well... I want a heart for a heart. Good morning. Good morning. Are you looking for something in particular? Can I have a makeup? We don't have makeup. Just what you see. Oh. Come here. Here. You have a beautiful face. Thank you. He was gonna kill an innocent woman. I think that before you talk, you best listen to me. See these eyes? They have seen a lot. I have seen men naked on stone floors, shitting themselves in fear. I have seen men with broken backs and torn-out eyes begging to be killed. I have seen men... Strong men... Weeping tears of blood when I have touched electrodes to their pricks. I have seen what men are capable of doing to other men, and what men go to is without boundaries. In Afghanistan, where I come from, I was an interrogator for the Russians after they had invaded us. People ask me why did I interrogate my own people? The answer was simple. I was good at it. Oh, God, no. The important thing is to see what is happening to you, which is why mirrors are great help. Can I buy these things? What things? Clothes on these dolls. The store dummies? Yes. Sure... But you'll have to undress them yourself. Yeah. The other one. I said the other one! A hand for a hand... Plus interest. This is only the beginning. You see my son die. You will see yourself die... But only with one eye. This eye? Or this eye? Ooh. Mahood. Pluck out his eye. Let's see if you have the guts to do it. You come from a weak generation. I'll show you how to do it. I've blinded many men, but I'll take only one eye from you so you can see what else happen to you. Once you are dead, I'll pluck out your other eye so you will be eyeless in heaven. Hi. Get your hands up. Shut the door. Shut the fucking door. Up. Kill her. What was his name? The name of the bloke that bought the room? Colin o'brien. G'day, dad. Long time no see. This is midori. Hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. What happened? Bit of an accident. Some accident. Come on. Let's get inside. Fix him up properly. You in trouble? Nothing I can't handle. 'Cause if you are... Maybe I can help. Just being here's help enough, mate. Who took all them? I take 'em to prove I exist. You see, sometimes I don't know. Rembrandt did it. Painted himself a lot. How is he? He having rest. They're beautiful. Not really. They've eaten all the grass, and they've taken the last water from the dam. Why are they doing that? The drought. I just sit here every day, watch all my land blow away. So... What are you and Colin doing out here? Traveling. You know? Just traveling. You didn't see Colin for a long time? Years. Not a very close family. That's not very good. I don't know. Don't get in each other's pockets that way. What about you? Know him long? No. Not so long. I ran away from my husband a few days ago. What are you laughing at? I forgot people did things like that. You don't like me much, do you? You think that's beautiful? Well, I don't. It's in the eyes of the beholder. Some of the most beautiful bird calls are their cries of distress... Terror. No, I don't have the energy to hate anyone. I wish I did. I thought you asleep. I was just dozing. Can't get my boots off. I'll help. No, that's all right. Yeah, I'll help. Did you live here? When I was young. There was grass everywhere then. Every year it got drier. Mom was lonely. She likes people. Dad doesn't need 'em. There was lots of arguments. One day... Mom just ran off with this guy who was passing through. Took me and my sister to the city. The city first. Eventually all the way up to cairns. Only seen dad a couple of times since then. Where is she now? Mom? Up in queensland with some new guy. My sister's in the Philippines, I think. You think? We're not a close family. Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! When you take this off, you will have new lines and new fate. Fate brought us together. Why would you want to change that? I'll tell you what. Let's go down South to the coast. We could take dad. There's a beach there. It's wonderful. I'd like that. Moon is going. Waning. The moon is waning. Moon is waning. Mm-hmm. Now I know what love is... Real love is... What I feel for you. It's real love, what I feel for you. G'day. Pie and chips. No worries. You should dye your hair blond, excuse me? You people look good blond. That was fucking embarrassing. Have you seen her? It was her? Bit hard to see with chicken soup in my eyes, but maybe. Which way they went? Jesus, that was some good stuff. Which way?! Don't yell at me. Which way?! Fuck you. Woman. Stupid woman! I'm leaving this fucking town. Good riddance. Good evening. Good evening. Beer. Beer? Yes. Beer, please. Long way from home? Japan. Go on past me! You've got plenty of room. Stop! Oh, get fucked! Stop! All right, smile. Sure you won't come? No. You always liked the sea. I wasn't as keen on it as your mother. Have a good trip. Thank you, cam. Bye. Bye. Oh, I'll, uh... Get the shirt back in about a week. Son, I can wait for years. Thanks, mate. Take care. Bye. Thank you, cam. Thank you! Hello? Beach? I want information. Where is beach? Who are you? Where is beach? I said, who are you? My wife. I don't know where she is. Aah! Where the sea? Where is the beach? I said I don't know where she is. You do! Aah! You tell me! I'll tell you. I'll tell you something... But I don't know if you'll understand me. What's your name? Yukio. Well, there's a word. It's called karma. It sort of means you can do bad or evil for a long time, but, eventually... Eventually, it'll catch up with you, and you'll be destroyed. When I was young... I was a bit of a lad. I did some bad things. I ended up in jail for almost killing my best friend. He took my girlfriend from me. I served my time, but it was bad karma, what I did. He was my best friend. Now it's caught up with me. The bad karma's this land. There's been a drought here for 10 years, and it'll continue until I die. But you, yukio... Japan started a war against China and then the world. You lose the war. What happens? You become a world economic power. Unfair. But your karma will change. Soon, yukio... Your tiny country with its millions of tiny people will get the karma it deserves-- Earthquakes, tidal waves-- Storms will destroy Japan. It will sink below the waves and drown as if it never existed. And you will die, yukio. You will get the karma you deserve. You understand? I understand. This is your karma. Aah! I understand! I understand! I understand! Aah! Aah! Want a lift, man? Come on, it's cool. Let's go. Thank you. Where you headed, brud? Going this way, man? Beach. Beach direction. What'd he say? I don't know. I think he's been out in the sun too long, eh? Oh, true. You a bit down, eh? I want to go to beach. The beach? Like the sea? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Ok. We'll drop you off in Porter. That's on the way. What do you want to go to the beach for anyway? To talk to my wife. You ain't been married long, eh? What's "b & s ball"? It's a dance for bachelors and spinsters. Is it a dance place where you can wear good clothes? Oh, yeah. Sunday best for the b & s. Hi. It's $25 each, thanks. You won't be a bachelor for long. The last of our money. This is worth it. My first-time spinster and bachelor's ball. Bachelor and spinster. 2 beers, thanks, mate. May I have this dance? Yes. I am a spinster tonight. Porter. Uh, no, man. We're not going there. Stop car! We haven't danced yet. Get down! Get down! Oh! You don't know what love is. I have no time. Colin! Oh, why here? It's the coldest place in town. All the witnesses saw her do it? Yeah. Then she and the guy headed South. What's South? The ocean. It'll be ok, darling. Tell me. Tell you? Tell me about the beach. About the beach. This is the first beach I ever went to. With my mum and dad and my sister. I didn't know it was going to be so big. It just went on and on. The horizon made me happy. Happy? It meant there are other places to go. Places I didn't know anything about. The beach makes things better. It fixes things. Are you awake? Concentrate. Left! My feet are very cold. |
