(Whimpers)

Go.

(Dog yelps)

(Whips Olive repeatedly)

Argh! Argh!

She broke out through here.

Usual story - off to see

her boyfriend at New Norcia.

Mmm.

The tracker brought her back.

Ah, yes, Moodoo.

Mr Neal tells me that

your probation period is up,

and that you wish to return to

the Kimberleys, is that right?

Of course, your daughter

is here, isn't she?

There would be no question

of her going.

She would have to stay here

and continue her training.

I think for the time being,

it would be best

for all concerned

if you were to remain here,

Moodoo.

I'd be prepared to consider

your case in a year or so,

but, er, until then...

Now, about those little ones

from Kalgoorlie.

Those babies -

where their mothers?

They got no mothers.

Nobody here got any mothers.

I got mother.

Come on, they're lining up.

Let's go.

(BELL RINGS)

(Whimpers)

(Sobs and whimpers)

(HAUNTING MUSIC)

(Whispers) Bad place.

Make me sick.

These people.

Sick.

Make me sick.

(BELL RINGS)

Come on, make your beds!

Nice and tidy!

If you've already done it,

get to the church now.

Hurry up!

Stop dawdling.

Molly, take the bucket out.

Now, the three of you,

go up to the church.

Come on, you kids,

get up there, you're late!

Hurry up!

Now! Now!

(BELL RINGS)

(THUNDER CRACKS

AND RUMBLES)

Come on, get your things.

We're going!

Where we going?

We're going home, to Mother.
