off the drugs

and into full-time jobs.

Look, I know some of you

mob are worried about your...

your sacred sites

and protecting your culture.

But at Furnace Creek,

we pride ourselves

on our environmental

and our cultural record.

We hold our hands out

to walk together down

this new pathway to the future

with the approval of this

new exploration agreement.

Let's just jump to it

and I'll invite

the Broken River

council board members

to come up here to give their

autographs of approval in front

of youse all here today.

Thank you.

Jimmy.

Jimmy!

Hey, old man.

You want a ride?

Lookin' for that girl?

Chinese one, eh?

Yeah, you know something?

My grandfather

saw first white man here.

He come on a camel.

Then the Chinese men come.

They said they all

look for the gold stone.

And they follow

the same God.

Money god.

I know why you came here.

I know your face.

Just like your father.

What, you knew him?

He be taken away

when he was a young boy.

Then he came back a man

and he said he had a son.

Must be you.

[bang]

See that bird?

You hit 'em with the car.

Next time you be careful.

Look after him. Protect him.

They need more time

to understand.

But when you need him,

they save your life.

They'll find the water,

just the middle of nowhere,

in the desert.

Clean water, too.

[chuckles]

Yep. I show you something.

What?

What you really come here for.

Don't worry, not far.

That way.

[Jimmy singing

in foreign language]

[continues singing]

[continues singing]

[no audible dialogue]

[whispers] Hey.

What's wrong?

Well... I'm thinking

of gettin' out, Maureen.

I'm thinking to quit

while I'm ahead.

Quittin'?

But Johnny,

we're so close.

Old Jimmy walked out

of the signing ceremony.

What? Tommy told me there'd

be no problem with Jimmy.

Yeah, well, he is.

He's a big f***in' problem.

Already told

the suits down south

we've got the green light.

Maybe he wants more money.

I'll have a chat to Tommy.

No, no.

He's the type

you can't buy.

You know,

he doesn't go to church.

Hasn't touched a drop

of the grog we've

been runnin' out there.

The old ways

are in his blood.

Probably hold off

until he f***in' dies.

Maybe we could speed things up.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

F***in' sh*t, no. No, no.

Johnny, we got so much

at stake here, remember?

Just leave it with me.

I'll do everything.

Okay? Okay, babe?

Hey, Josh. Back again?

Yeah, looks like it.

Business or pleasure?

Pleasure.

[orchestral music plays]

Where you from?

A small town

a long way from here.

You?

A small town,

long way from here.

What's your name?

Mei.

How'd you get here?

It's a long story.
