The Water Diviner
1
Allahu Ekber!
Allahu Ekber!
Allahu Ekber!
I think we're close, mate.
I think we're very close.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Told you there was water there, didn't I?
Told you.
Lizzie?
Everything alright?
Arthur's worn through
the toe of his boot again.
What does he do?
The boys are all in bed.
They're waiting for you
to read to them.
- I'm bone-tired, Lizzie.
- Oh, come on.
You know this is their
favourite time of the day.
Prince Hussain called to the man
and asked him why the carpet
he wished to sell was so expensive,
saying, "It must be made of something
quite extraordinary."
The Merchant replied,
My Prince,
your amazement will be
all the greater when I tell you that
it is enchanted.
Whoever sits on this carpet,
closes his eyes
and says the magic word 'Tangu'
may be transported through
the air in an instant.
Wherever his heart
desires to be."
I hit water at 15 feet.
Bit brackish but good pressure.
With water we'll be able to
put stock in that valley block.
They didn't even
wipe the mud off it.
It's been four years, Liz.
You're so clever.
You can find water
but you can't even find
your own children.
Why can't you find them?
You lost them!
Come on, Art!
You won't win any medals
up there, mate!
Yeah, it's two hours
back to Rainbow,
we've got to get a wriggle on!
- You got that?
- Yeah.
I reckon I got it by now, Dad.
Arthur...
keep me bloody head down.
I know.
- Love you, Dad
- See you, Dad!
Lizzie?
Lizzie!
Lizzie?!
Lizzie!
Lizzie!
You understand,
in all conscience,
I could not bury your wife
in consecrated ground
if I thought she had taken
her own life.
Consecrated ground is
his promise to the faithful.
She fell in and drowned,
so your conscience is clear.
Three sons killed.
That was quite an ordeal
for Eliza.
As the book of Job teaches us,
God sets these trials for a reason.
Many families in the district
have made similar sacrifices
for king and country.
You know, you have a gall
coming in here,
making demands.
You haven't stepped inside
this place for four years,
you haven't been to confession,
you're all but lost to God.
Yes.
And you and God can feed me
to the pigs for all I care.
But you knew this woman.
She was here every Sunday.
I've dug the grave,
I made the coffin,
all I'm asking you to do
is say some words
and throw some dirt.
That cart of yours...
...would make a useful
benefaction for our community.
An offering to God.
Well, He might as well
take that too.
I'll find them, love.
I'll find them and I'll bring them
home to you.
Nearly there.
Thank you.
Not now. Later. Thank you.
Major Hasan Bey to see
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes
- at the War Graves.
- We know who he is, mate.
Righto.
Four years ago
they'd have given me a VC
for shooting that bastard.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes,
may I present Major Hasan Bey.
Major Bey was commander of...
Just Major Hasan.
- Bey just means Mister.
- Yes. Indeed.
Mr Bey gave you boys hell
at Lonesome Pine, Sir.
We all know who Major Hasan
is, Lieutenant. Thank you.
Merhaba. Hosh geldieniz.
Hosh Bulduek.
Turkce biliormusunuz?
Ah...
English?
I see you have finally taken
the Peninsula.
Yes.
Lost the battle, won the war.
will show you to your accommodations.
Perhaps once you've refreshed
we could meet in my tent?
- Thank you.
- Right this way.
While I'm here, I thought
I'd make myself useful.
If you have any horses
that need any work,
Preferably something
with a bit of pep.
Ah, Sergeant Tucker,
