- Motor bicycle. Very fast.

But...

"Cow." Honda.

- H-h-how'd you know I was here?

- Your brother... uncle Gary.

Right. "Uncle Gary."

- So, what do you want?

- Want? - Yeah.

I- I...

I- I don't understand.

Nothing seem like your words.

- Nothing looks same... no like picture

cards. - What do you want?

I want to see you. I want to see

Mrs. Jenny, Aiden, Maggie.

They aren't real, okay?

- Wh... what this mean?

- It means they don't exist. - Why?

You really shouldn't have

come here, you know?

Sorry, Miss. Visit's over.

Visiting a prison can be a

very confronting experience.

Everything is wrong.

I ask stupid questions.

Ah, it's probably

not your fault.

Mr. Randall doesn't

get many visitors.

Everything is wrong.

My car is over there.

Well, technically, she's got to be missing for

48 hours before she's considered missing.

- But she is missing!

- Not technically.

- Hey, mate. How'd you go?

- Hey, good, mate.

- Fletch is in the office.

- Thanks.

- How'd you go?

- Yeah, good. Um...

Mrs. MacNeil lost her job,

so she missed a payment,

- but she said she could pay next week,

at the latest. - Stupid woman.

She'll get her husband

killed if she's not careful.

- Hey, Brian. Good. Good. - Dad,

she said she could pay next week.

Can't you tell the guys

to leave him alone...

Yeah.

No, cool.

Just one... MacNeil.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You are not gonna let them

bug you... do you understand?

- Get back to your cell.

- Tommy. - Ta-ta.

You sprung?

It's MacNeil's wife.

Hands up, MacNeil.

- It's your warning.

- Please, no!

You know the rules.

Get him up, Dwight.

Now, you listen to me,

all right?

You tell wifey on the outside

that she respects my timetable,

and then I'll respect you.

You understand?

Then we won't have

all this nonsense.

You didn't see anything, okay?

Hey! He asked

you a question.

Leave him alone, Brian.

He's okay.

His brother always

pays on time.

- How many years have you known

Mr. Randall? - Many years.

We talk in letters...

and picture card.

Ah. Nice.

- And did he ask you to come to

Australia to visit him? - No.

- I come with orphanage.

- Orphanage?

- We sing for choir festival.

- Oh, right. I love music.

My daughter plays the

piano really beautifully.

Unfortunately, she's...

she's given it up.

- Thank you.

- That's okay.

Go inside!

She has disobeyed the

regulations.

All meeting with sponsors should

be organized through our orphanage.

- It's a waste of our time.

- I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

There's no evidence that my client

was involved in MacNeil's beating.

I'm aware of that.

This protection-money

racket, cashish...

Is this the head guy,

Tommy Fields?
