(speaking Japanese)
Go.
(music playing)
Greece is all ruins.
It's just for tourists.
I'm glad we came here.
If we combine our savings,
we could buy an apartment next year.
I might even be working out here for about a year.
Here?
Don't you like Australia?
It's the biggest branch outside Japan.
With the experience that I'd get,
I should be up for a promotion.
They like people with international experience.
Your salad,sir.
Thank you.
I wonder if he's a real Greek?
Are you all right?
I'm just a little tired.
You don't want to go back to Japan tomorrow,do you?
Hello.
You're still here?
Yes. It's our last night.
Have a farewell drink with us.
Back in Tokyo, they would never forgive me...
if I didn't entertain you on your last night.
I'll only keep him for one drink,Mrs. Takada.
I won't be long.
This is one of our employees, Yukio Takada.
How do you do?
Please excuse him, he's on his honeymoon.
Thank you for everything.
Enjoy yourselves tonight, won't you?
Midori-chan?
Midori?
Man:You saw her leaving the lift?
Yes,sir.
And she was heading towards her room?
Yes. I got off on this floor to deliver a fax.
And that was the last time you saw her?
Our camera's there. And 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?
Maybe she's just pissed off. Couldn't stand him or something.
It was their honeymoon.
Got something. Staff entrance.
(phone buzzes)
The hotel manager's just had a call.
It was her.
Hmmm.
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 his wife has rung
and all she said was that she was kidnapped.
Your wife rang the hotel manager
and said she'd been kidnapped.
That was all she said.
Does he have any idea why she'd be kidnapped?
Do you have any idea why she was kidnapped?
No!
TV:And now an update on the kidnapping
of the Japanese honeymooner.
...she was gone.
It was the last night of our honeymoon.
I don't know why she's been kidnapped.
If the kidnappers are watching this,
please give me back my wife.
I beg you!
Please, give her back to me!
Shit!
Like this.
So she paid you to take her out this way.
I felt sorry for her. She said she hated her husband.
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 going to 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.
Your wife rang one number in Tokyo over and over.
It was the manager of the company she worked for.
His name is Sadao Kinugasa.
The Japanese police spoke to him.
It appears his wife and Sadao had a relationship.
The Japanese police spoke to him.
It appears your wife and he had a relationship.
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.
She planned to leave you here in Australia.
The manager was going to fly out here
and they would 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.
I can have you back on a plane to Tokyo in a few hours.
She destroyed me.
Go back to Japan.
I can't!
I'm a laughingstock.
Why don't you come and stay with me until things settle down?
You can't stay here.
(phone rings)
Hello?
"Dear Yukio,
How can I apologize to you for what I've done?
I don't think you'll forgive me,
no matter what I say.
I have no idea what I am going to do in the future.
What I've done is unforgivable.
I hope you never meet another woman like me.
I am really,really sorry."
Dad?
This is the fellow I was telling you about.
You drive a car good?
Oh,he's brilliant.
This is Gullbuddin, my brother,
and Tony, a good friend of the family.
Butchers don't do it right.
Has he done this sort of thing before?
No,but he's the best driver I've ever seen.
What's your name?
Colin.
Are you going to help us?
Well,are you?
Yeah,all right.
Why are you doing this?
I need the money.
He had a crash repair business. It went broke.
He owes money.
Now,I am going to trust you.
If you let me and my sons down,
then I'm going to kill you.
What if they let me down? Are you gonna kill them?
I hope...
you drive fancy as you talk.
I do.
Here.
I don't need a gun,mate.
- Take the gun. - Hey,I'm just the chauffeur.
You do what we agreed.
We share the risk.
Hey,I'm doing you a favor. You carry a gun.
Woman:Next.
Next!
Teller five,Miss.
Thank you.
Can you change?
Mmm-hmm. I have to see your passport.
Okay. Here.
- This is a robbery! - Down! Get down!
Get down on the floor! All of you!
Everybody down! On the floor!
Get down!
Fill that up!
Move!
Shit!
Put the fucking screen down!
Let's go! Let's go!
Fucking put it down!
- We're out of here! - What about him?
- Come on,let's go! - What about him?
- We can't leave him there! - It's too late. Let's go!
Come with me. Come on!
Everybody stay down! Stay down!
Put your guns down!
I swear I'll shoot her!
Get in the fucking car!
Move it! Come on!
Move it!
Oh,shit!
Where'd the bloody coppers come from? The stupid bastards!
- What happened to Tony? - The fucking idiot's dead!
He was supposed to watch the fucking teller,
- the stupid bastard. - Shut up!
What are you doing? She's seen you!
So fucking what!
You fucking take care of her,now!
Jesus fucking Christ!
Shut the fuck up, or I'll fucking kill you,all right?
- Come here! - No! No!
- What are you doing? - She saw us.
You can't just kill her.
She didn't do anything.
Stay in the car,Colin.
You stay in the fucking car!
Get down! Down!
Stay down!
(gunshot)
Buddin! Buddin!
Aw,Jesus!
Go back to the car.
She didn't do anything,man.
She?! Who the fuck is she?!
You killed my brother!
Stay there... stay there.
You fucking traitor!
I'm gonna come and get you!
You'll never get away with this!
I'll find you!
You're a fucking dead man!
You're a dead man, you hear me?
Mahood:You're going to fucking 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.
(laughing)
(speaking Japanese)
He said, "Why is she doing this to me?"
(engine failing)
You're on your own.
You're safer if you stay here.
He took a hostage.
If he listened to me, he wouldn't be shot.
You trusted him.
You gave him the gun...
and he killed your brother.
(phone rings)
Hello.
I want to speak to Mahood.
It's Colin.
Colin?
You know it was an accident with your brother.
You said to me no one would get hurt.
I'm not going to pretend I'm not angry,Colin.
Things just got a little out of hand,eh?
You know?
W-what about you?
Are you okay? Do you...
do you need some money?
No,I'll manage,mate.
Look... things got a bit messy, didn't they? You know?
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.
Aaahh!
We get gasoline for the car?
Can you get me a hamburger?
Hamburger?
Yeah,hamburger. Just... right over there.
Hamburger.
- Okay. - Yeah?
Hungry?
Are you coming to the dance tomorrow night?
Not with you.
Christ,I've never seen one without a camera before.
(laughter)
Uh,excuse me...
can I have a hamburger?
Sure,what would you like on it?
A hamburger.
- Do you want the lot? - "A lot"?
Waitress: The lot-- bacon,lettuce...
cheese,tomato,sauce?
- The lot. - Uh...
(truck starting)
What in the hell are you doing with my truck?
Don't you realize that stealing is a crime?
You are so lucky I'm not on benzedrine today...
otherwise,I'd be doing a lot more than hurting you.
I think I'll ask what his hamburger wants.
Thank you.
No! Don't do that!
Piss off!
Naughty boy!
You let our standards slip...
by interbreeding with inferior races,
and before you know it,
we'll be breeding half-wits and mongrels!
- You okay? - Yeah.
Agghh!
(horn honks)
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.
Well,why don't you just give yourself up?
Tell 'em I kidnapped you and forced you to help me.
No.
Don't you wanna get back to Japan?
No...
I don't want go back.
I have no future there.
Many people in Japan,
they have no true life.
Everybody has dream,but they're 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 dreamed...
that I could have a new life.
It was all my fault.
I think I should have told Yukio the truth from the beginning.
(bird calls)
What is that?
It's a kookaburra.
Kookaburra?
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.
(alarm sounds)
I hate people staring at me when I eat.
Sorry,Bish.
Yeah,so what?
This morning at a country bank.
This morning?
It looks like they're a team.
The police think they're a team.
I'll kill her!
What did 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?
Well,you seem to me to be a pretty close-knit family.
He was a bad boy.
So it would seem.
Do you know who those people are?
No.
Well,my bet is...
that the bloke in the balaclava shot your son.
We'll keep an eye on them.
(prayer calls)
Christ,fancy living here with that yodelling five times a day.
You may as well be in fucking 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.
He's always been wearing a balaclava...
so nobody knows who he is.
He's travelling across country.
He'll check into a motel...
and use his real name.
We'll check every day.
I will be vengeance.
(sheep bleating)
There's no A.C.
No... fair enough.
I'll give you $250 off.
- Indicators don't work. - Oh,it's only a fuse.
Handbrake'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 is great.
- You got any welding gear? - Yep.
- Can I use it? - Be my guest.
It's $25 an hour.
Two hours minimum.
Thank you.
(horn honks)
What a spunk!
Spunk?
It's when you give a blow job on the first date.
Blow job?
Something to do with whales.
I can breathe!
I-- can-- breathe!
They robbed the bank in this town.
I'm going to find her.
But you don't know where she is.
I can find out.
There are not many Japanese in the countryside.
I've read this. I'll track her down.
Leave it to the police.
But they don't want to kill her like I do.
Yukio,stop this! Go back to Japan!
Only after I've killed her.
I want you to get me a gun.
I can't do that!
Get me a motorbike and get me a gun,
and you'll never see me again.
I hope you don't find her.
All I want is to ask her why she embarrassed me
in front of millions of people.
I went to some effort to get this,
and it can't be traced.
Is there a safety catch on this?
How would I know?
It looks like a toy...
I think that's enough practice for today.
(buzzing)
(agitated)
What are you doing?
Changing our fate.
Shit!
Are you okay?
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 heading?
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 okay. 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?
'Cause they're fucking wankers,that's why.
They know nothing about classical music,
and nothing about accordions.
(playing "Flight of the Valkyries")
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 fucking know,pal?
Why don't you just stop fucking playing,mate?
Fucking make me!
Maybe I fucking will.
Right. Bit of radio,hey?
Man:Fucking mongrel bastard.
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 you later.
Bye.
Cretins!
A beer.
Please.
Oh,give us a break,Gloria.
Fucking ignorant cunt.
Could I have a beer,please?
You couldn't fucking get rid of me, could you,you pack of scumbags!
Look,Jonah,stop it!
Go on, get out of here!
(playing "Valkyries")
- No,don't play that tune. - That's shit!
Get it out of here.
Now throw me out!
You stop that bloody racket!
It's not a racket, it's music.
(smashing)
- How long do you wanna stay? - Just a day.
Maybe two.
Room 19.
Thanks.
Well,thank you very much.
Okay. Bye.
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?
We hire a light plane, three,four 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.
On your bike.
Look out! (dog yelps)
Now let me get this right...
you're Laurel,and I'm Hardy.
You can take the double.
I like this one.
Good night.
I really like this.
I feel like I am 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 okay...
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 wanna 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.
(Marlene Dietrich recording plays)
Good morning.
Are you looking for something in particular?
Can I have a make-up?
We don't have makeup. Just what you see.
Come here. Here.
You have a beautiful face.
Thank you.
He was going to kill an innocent woman.
I think that before you talk,
you'd 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 attached 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.
Mahood,no!
The important thing is to see what is happening to you,
which is why mirrors are a great help.
Can buy these things?
What things?
The clothes on these dolls.
- The store dummies? - Yes.
Sure,but you'll have to undress them yourself.
Yes.
Hey,Col.
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?
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 happens to you.
Once you are dead, I'll pluck out your other eye...
so you'll be eyeless in heaven.
- Hi! - Put your hands up.
Shut the door! Shut the fucking door!
Kill her!
And what was his name?
The name of the bloke that booked 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 them up properly.
Are 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 them 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?
Travelling... you know?
Just travelling.
You didn't see Colin for a long time?
Years.
Not a very close family.
- That's not very good. - Oh,I don't know.
Don't get in each other's pockets that way.
What about you?
Known him long?
No... Not so long.
I ran away from my husband...
a few days ago.
(laughing)
What are you laughing at?
Oh,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 were asleep.
No. I was just dozing.
I can't get my boots off.
- I'll help. - No,no,it's all right.
Yeah,I'll help.
Did you live here?
When I was young.
It was grass everywhere then.
Every year it got drier.
Mum was lonely. She likes people.
Dad doesn't need them.
There was lots of arguments.
One day,
Mum just ran off with this guy who was passing through,
took me and my sister to the city.
Sydney,first.
And eventually,all the way up to Cairns.
Only seen Dad a couple of times since then.
Where is she now?
Mum?
Northern Queensland... with some new guy.
But,my sister's in the Philippines,I think.
You think?
We're not a close family.
When you take these off...
we will have new lines and new fate.
But our fate brought us together.
Why would you want to change that?
I 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 blonde.
Excuse me?
You people look good blonde.
Well,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!
Jonah: I'm leaving this fucking town!
Good riddance!
Get out! Get out!
- Good evening. - Good evening.
- Beer. - Beer?
Yes. Beer,please.
Long way from home.
Japan.
Go on. Pass me. You 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. - Cam.
Bye.
I'll get the shirt back in about a week?
Son,I can wait for years.
Thanks,mate.
Take care.
Bye.
Thank you,Cam.
Bye.
Thank you.
Hello?
(operatic recording playing)
Beach.
(clanking)
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.
Where the sea? Where is the beach?
I said I don't know where she is.
You do!
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 will 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.
And 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.
I understand!
I understand! I understand!
(swearing)
Want a lift,man?
Come on. Hop in.
- Come on,it's cool. - It's hot out here.
Thank you.
Where you headed,brud'
Man,come on.
Going this way,brud'
Beach. Beach direction.
What did he say?
Don't know. I think he's been out in the sun too long,eh?
True.
- You a bit down,eh? - I want to go to beach.
The beach? Like the sea?
- Yes. Yes. - Yeah,yeah.
Okay,well,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.
(uptempo country-style music plays)
Hi. It's $25 each, thanks.
You won't be a bachelor for long.
That's the last of our money.
This is worth it.
My first time Spinster and Bachelor's Ball!
Bachelor and Spinsters.
Two 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.
(laughing)
You'd kill me?
I love you.
You don't know what love is.
Wait... wait...
I have no time.
Colin!
Why here?
It's the coldest place in town.
- All the witnesses saw her do it? - Yeah.
Then she and the guy headed south.
- And what's south? - The ocean.
It will be okay,darling.
- Tell me. - Tell you?
Tell me about the beach.
About the beach?
This was 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 were other places to go,
places I didn't know anything about.
The beach makes things better.
It fixes things.
Are you awake?
(police sirens)
Concentrate.
Left!
My feet are very cold.
(gunshot)
