I have to keep these guys locked

up in here now for the most part,

'cause people take them for food.

These guys came to me.

People just drop them off

and ask me to look after them

while they went away somewhere

or because they had to go

somewhere or do something,

and none of them ever came back.

I guess they've gone

looking for money.

Do you want me to take

a look at your cuts?

No.

Hey.

How ya going?

I'm well.

Um, do you wanna take a chair

while I have a look at you?

It hurts.

Do you want to take your hand away?

That doesn't look too bad.

That looks good. You just

need to keep this clean.

Tell me where your brother is.

I'll take you to him.

Tell me where your brother is.

Mmm.

He's gone south a long way from here.

I'll take you to him, I promise.

I'm just gonna get you a T-shirt.

Get up. We're leaving.

Maybe we should ask

what the lady says.

Get up.

- What was that sound?

- It's a car coming.

What car?

I don't know.

That's two cars.

- How long till they're here?

- A minute, maybe.

Who is it?

Get your rifle.

- Do you know them?

- Go and get your rifle.

Tell me what's going on.

Who are these people?

Get up. We're leaving.

Get up.

Where are we?

I'm hungry.

Go and get some food?

You're gonna start talking to me.

What?

Don't f***ing "what" me.

Where are we going?

I can't tell you nothing more

than I already told you.

I don't give a sh*t what you

think you've already told me.

Start f***ing talking to me!

Don't.

Do you even know where we are?

- What?

- Where are we?

Where are we?

I don't know.

You don't f***ing know?

So, how are you gonna

get to where you're going

if you don't know where

the f*** you are?

Do you even understand

what I just said, half-wit?

We're going to Carloon.

We're going to Carloon.

I just asked that lady how

to get to Carloon from here.

I was gonna do that anyway

and you would've heard me

and you would've asked her what I

said, figured out what I said anyway.

I was gonna tell you anyway.

You wanna know so bad.

But you don't know exactly where

in Carloon we're going exactly,

so, I'm still in control here.

You don't know exactly where

in Carloon we're going,

so you got to take me with you.

I'm taking you with me

because if I get to Carloon

and your brother's not there,

I'm gonna slit your throat.

What you want with my

brother so bad, hmm?

Who are you?

I'm Rey. Is that what you mean?

Why are you here?

Me and my brother came out for

the mines. Like everybody else.

Why's your brother in Carloon?

That's where he was gonna go.

Why are you here and your

brother's in Carloon?

They had to get going

in a big hurry.

Why?

Why did he have to get
