swinging back and forth like a...

Dalton:
Don't say it.

Mathers:
I've heard it too often and in

too great a detail for it to be false.

No, it can't be.

What's so funny?

It's nothing.

So, every morning without fail,

she'd make me rub her cold legs

and she would sing to me softly

about the sea.

But, by God, wouldn't she fart on me

when I was down there.

A case of the six o'clock farts

would send my eyes burning.

You're standing there

with this great big f***ing arse.

Christ almighty!

Them were farts you could

smell through your ears.

- What the hell are you talking about?

- Women, lad.

If they didn't have c*nts,

you'd throw stones at them.

What?

Oh, we were just relating

as to what the two of you

were doing in the bushes.

We were getting wood for the fire.

- Do you think it funny?

- Aye.

It has humour.

One question, Robert.

Is it true that Travers here

was a ticket-of-leave man

before you met?

I speak for myself.

So, Robert, is it true that Travers here

was a ticket-of-leave man?

Travers:
No.

I had no ticket of leave.

I heard you had land.

And sheep to tend.

Is that true?

Oh, I had a lease of land

promised to me, yeah.

But time... It takes time...

Here you are, huh? All the land

you could possibly desire.

You must have been quite a catch,

Mr Greenhill.

Come on. Come on, Ned.

I'll guide you through it.

Come on. Come on, Ned.

You're coming with us.

Yeah. You're coming with us.

You're coming with us.

Bodenham:
Leave him.

He's holding us back.

Kennerly:
Come on.

Come on, Neddy.

Come on.

Bodenham:
Just f***ing leave him!

Come on!

This is not Table Mountain.

Cooee!

You'll be fine!

- F*** this.

- Kennerly:
Wait!

- F*** this!

- My nose is f***ing cold!

Kennerly:

We've got to stop here for Brown!

Bodenham:
Leave him!

- Come on.

- Leave him.

Kennerly:
Wait!

Wait!

We have to stop here for the night!

- Not here! No! I said leave him!

- Aye!

Greenhill:
We leave no-one!

We rest here!

Dalton:
We'll freeze up here!

This is madness!

I'm heading to lower ground!

Dalton:
I'm following him!

For once he's right!

Pearce! Let's head down!

Mathers:
Head down!

Come on!

Come on.

Leave him!

That the last of it?

Where in hell are you taking us,

Captain?

East.

We'll hit the settled districts

before long.

What do we eat?

We've no food left.

And I'm tired of carrying

these godforsaken pots.

- And for what use?

Be quiet Dalton.

No. We'll starve.

There's nothing out here.

He said we were to escape by boat.

Not to walk to our deaths!

This fool doesn't know where he's going!

You heard your man. We're headed east.

Do you miss the flogging?

Easy. Easy, lad. Easy.

Kennerly:
I witnessed a young chavy
