Kangaroo (2025) Movie Script
YTS.LYTS.LWelcome back to 'Rise and Shine Australia'
and pull on your budgie smugglers
'cause Sydney's favourite weatherman
is taking us to Bondi Beach.
I'm Chris Masterman
and this is
'Rise and Shine Australia' weather.
That's right, folks.
Today I'll be bringing you the weather
live from Bondi Beach
where I'll be following
a group of lifeguards
to find out exactly what
makes a true hero tick.
Isn't that right, guys?
Guys?
No. Don't you dare.
Don't you...
And welcome to Bondi.
I guess that's back to wardrobe for me
and, uh, back to you in the studio.
Uh...
And... out.
Great. Hey, thanks so much, guys.
OK. That was...
- Did that work?
- Let's pick it up
from the sound end
for the regional report, yeah?
OK. No, I don't want
anything. Hey, Liz. Liz.
Hang on. Liz. Wait up.
Uh...
Is it tr...
Is it true that Ted's looking for
a new host for 'Rise and Shine'?
Oh, you know I can't discuss that.
Yeah, I know that.
I know that. But come on.
I think... I think he's looking for someone
who's into current affairs.
I can do that.
Ask me anything.
The capital of any country.
Denmark.
The capital of any country
that speaks English.
Canada.
OK. That's a terrible example, but come on!
I've been doing the weather for six years.
I'm sick of being the guy
that gets water dumped on him.
Chris, that was your idea.
No, Pants Off Friday was my idea.
- The wet T-shirt was...
- Look, do you know what?
You want to be host and you
want to be noticed by Ted,
show him that there is
more to you than just... this.
Right. OK. Got it.
More what?
Come on, get the ball, Lachlan!
Yes, yes! Here, here, here!
- Casper! Get it!
- Go, go, go!
- Pass it here!
- Pass it!
Pass, pass, pass!
- Oi! Pass it here! Oi! Here!
- Catch!
- Ready?
- Go, Casper!
Yeah! Good one, Freddy!
Good kick, Freddy!
Hey, it's the new kid.
What's her name again?
Charlie.
Could you kick us the ball?
Nice rat.
She's not a rat.
Whoa!
Whoa.
Come on, guys.
What's her problem anyways?
Has she moved here for good?
Casper, she just lost her dad.
You have to hide or Mum will freak out.
Thanks for letting me know.
You know who that was, eh?
Starts with 'S', rhymes with 'cool'.
Charlie, you can't keep wagging school.
The headmaster asked if
we need to see a counsellor.
I mean, next thing
they're gonna be calling
Child Services on me.
In case you haven't noticed,
I'm having a nervous breakdown here.
Maybe you should go
call that counsellor, then.
I'm gonna have to put
one of those eartags on you
like they do with kangaroos.
Have to catch me first.
So, as a weatherman,
I've been thrown into
a number of life-threatening situations,
so, yeah, I've had the word 'hero'
flung at me from time to time.
But you guys,
you're the real heroes.
Go on, tell us the secret,
Jonesy.
Well, uh, I don't know if
you'd call us heroes, but...
- What the...?
- ..we just keep people safe.
- Is that a shark?
- No, it's a dolphin.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. It's a baby dolphin.
It's trapped in the pool.
I called them, Jonesy!
ORCA are on their way!
Looks like a baby shark.
Here. Hold this. Phil, Phil, on me.
On me.
Chris, what are you doing?
Just keep following
on me!
Dude, dude, don't touch it!
Well, it's in trouble.
I can't just leave it there.
There's a reason they come into the beach.
Chris!
Mate, we've called ORCA.
Get out of the water.
Not on my watch.
Get that dolphin out on the water.
Time to go home, mate!
It's going back out to sea!
Hey?
- He's free! Whoo!
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
In a tragic twist
of the dolphin rescue yesterday,
the baby dolphin has been
found dead on Bondi Beach.
Jonesy, what happened?
The dolphin swam in
just to have a bit of a rest.
I told the weatherman not to touch it,
but he just wouldn't listen.
According to experts,
it had been suffering from a lung disease
and swam into the shallows
for some much needed rest.
We've yet to hear from
the Channel 6 network.
Might have known you'd blow it.
We just ignore it, right?
I don't want anyone talking to the press.
Yeah, I mean, it'll blow over
in a day or two.
Right?
- Dolphin killer!
- You should be locked up!
Well, I didn't know it was sick!
Move! Just move!
Why do they hate me? That dolphin...
- Made you a hero for 24 hours.
- I was trying to help.
No, you were trying to go
viral to get noticed by Ted.
Because you told me to get noticed.
I did and... and you did
and... and it backfired
and I'm really sorry.
But maybe just see this
as a blessing in disguise.
A chance to really think about
your priorities.
My car!
I meant your life priorities.
Hey.
Just... take some time out.
Maybe just try listening to this.
Who knows, it might
actually make you happy.
Now, just go, OK?
What do we want? Masto out!
When do we want it? Now!
Just give it a go, Charlie.
For me?
Come on, Freddy!
Hmm.
You're out. Out!
Everyone in the class! Hurry up!
Mate, it's Chris.
Look, I don't know if you've heard, but...
Oh, you have?
And I know I said no to anything regional,
but I've been thinking a lot
about it and I...
Oh, you did.
And Channel 9 has always been the goal, so...
Fine. So, that's a definite no or...?
OK.
You are awesome.
You deserve your fame.
In the midst of chaos, there is also...
Yeah?
Chris, Joel Warberton here.
Warberton Productions.
And they don't mind that I... I kind of...
No, no, no, no. That'll blow
over in a couple of weeks.
That's fine.
Good-looking Aussie guy
that loves the outdoors...
You're exactly what they want.
We've been trying to find
someone like you for ages.
And now...
Now?
Well, now we can afford you.
Look, um, Sydney's an amazing...
an amazing place to work...
We're thinking Broome.
I love Broome.
Yeah, I actually grew up in WA.
I... I own a Chevy Corvette.
It was my dad's.
And, uh, in my 20s,
we drove it up the coast.
Even better.
Drive it over there,
we'll feature it in the show.
Stick it on the billboard.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
'Masto's World'.
'Masto's... World'.
And by the time you get over
there, we'll have the money.
We'll see you in Broome.
Um, my name is Shauna.
Chris Masterman is a monster.
He never cared about that dolphin!
He only cares about himself.
He's all "Me, me..."
Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures.
A lot more intelligent
than Chris Masterman.
"Oh, thanks for lunch, Mum.
"So many starving children in the world.
"Glad I'm not one of them."
Two words - eat up.
Dad always got us
fish and chips on Sundays.
Hey.
Hey, Mum. Hey, Dad.
Chicken's on the table. Help yourself.
Hey, I got my mouth
all ready for fish and chips.
Ralph...
What did I say?
How long are you gonna
keep this up, Charlie?
You're acting like I moved you
to the North Pole or something.
Oh, my...
Charlie! Not again!
- Shoo!
- Mum, please!
- Get out! Go on! Out!
- Mum, don't!
- Get out!
- Stop. You're scaring them.
Good!
Now you know how I feel
every time they come into your room.
Only three this time.
Is the back gate open for them?
Yep.
Charlie, they'll be fine.
That's where they belong.
And I told you a thousand
times before, no more roos.
- Someone else can save them.
- That's not fair!
Dad would've helped them.
But you don't care about him.
You don't care about Dad.
Of course I care.
You don't think I miss him too?
Why did we leave, then?
I can't do this by myself, Charlie.
I needed to come home.
This town sucks!
There's no-one here!
Nanna's here, Grandad's here, I'm here.
I wish Dad was here and not you!
Well, he's not.
It's just me now.
So... please just... clean this mess up.
Now, don't say anything stupid, will you?
Well, what's that supposed to mean?
Mmm.
Mm.
Why don't you get her one of those oodles?
You know, those fancy dogs
people have in the city.
They look like skinny sheep.
Just leave it, Dad.
No, but they've still got a dog's brain.
- Ralph.
- What?
You'll be right, bub.
You'll get through this.
You're strong.
Ohh!
Hey, Ken, where's Barbie?
Yeah, righto.
Here we go.
- Usual, Trap?
- You know it!
Absolutely stinging for one of these.
Ugh! Friggin' hot out there.
Am I adding this to your tab?
Yeah, ta.
Something funny?
No, I think it's a nice touch.
What do you mean?
Cordon Bleu... out here.
I mean... can you imagine?
It's not fake?
I think I'd know a fake
if I saw one.
Uh, I'll take a sparkling water, thanks.
Icelandic Glacier, if you have one.
We get that pumped directly from a mountain
called Eyjafjallajkull.
It's in Iceland.
I was just asking.
Is there a menu?
Yeah. Ham sandwiches.
You don't have like a... a salad?
No, because then I would
have said ham sandwiches...
and a salad.
So that's the entire menu?
Yep. The full degustation.
Right.
I will take, um, the sandwich
and can I have lettuce inside?
No, because I don't have lettuce
because I don't have salad.
If you want salad,
you could go to the Lebanese
place just down the road.
It's right next to Jamba Juice
and the Sushi Spot
in the spiritual wellness centre.
OK, you don't need to be so bloody rude.
Hey! Aren't you that guy who
killed a dolphin in Sydney?
Yeah!
Oh, yeah! I seen that on telly!
It's him, it's him.
The fish killer.
Ah!
Aw, 'bye, fish killer!
Huh!
Can you take us for a cruise?
A cruise? No. Um...
Can you not touch it, please?
Over there, over there.
- Like this?
- Yes, like that.
How come?
Because it's a collector
and I'm asking you not to touch it.
I've got one just like it.
Don't touch it!
Watch out, leadfoot.
That bin's a collector.
That's actually a really cool car.
Couldn't be happier!
Oh!
Ohh!
Come on!
Oh!
Oh!
Not again.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey.
You OK?
Hey.
- Why did he do that?
- Ha! What a loser.
Poor dolphin.
See? Told you it was him.
So he's, like, famous?
Why is he looking so happy?
Hey!
Look who's back!
- Oh.
- What's he doing here?
Where's his car?
Oh, Gucci store's next door.
That's funny.
Now get that horrible thing out of here.
Look, mate...
Oh, sorry. I was talking to the kangaroo.
Someone's gonna have to look after it.
What happened to its mum?
I sort of...
knocked her over.
"For the Angel of Death
spread his wings on the blast,
"and breathed in the face
of the foe as he passed."
Yeah.
Thank you. That's very helpful.
It's Lord Byron.
Murray here is a Rhodes scholar.
Out here.
Can you imagine?
OK.
Did I offend you?
I know your type.
My Corvette is a mess.
I need a mechanic. Can you please help me?
This is a hotel, not a kennel.
Get out.
OK, fine, but if she dies,
it's blood on your hands.
OK? Thank you so much.
You've been very helpful.
You're welcome.
Tourism Australia should
put you on a... retainer.
Not a bad idea.
Wonder what they'd pay.
Thought you might need
some help with your car.
Who are you?
I'm Charlie and this is my Uncle Dave.
He's a mechanic.
Can you fix a classic Corvette?
Yeah, nah, but I'll give it a crack.
She looks pretty hungry.
Come on, mate, jump in.
Nah, just kidding, bro.
Go on, in you get, in you get.
Come on.
It's a long way to walk, bro.
Come on, are you getting in or what?
I hate this town.
Seatbelts.
Please tell me that's Vegemite.
Tastier than that.
We begin with some kangaroo goona.
Gonna need new gaskets.
Adult roo poo.
Oh, ho, we'd better call the undertaker
for your cooling system.
Joel Warberton.
Leave a message.
Joel, um...
Ah, that's not good.
I've had a bit of a prang
and, uh, I... I need to push back.
A few days.
Can you... can you give me
a call when you get this?
It's... it's Chris, by the way.
When it's all mixed,
then you've gotta pour the water in
and push the poo through down like that.
Yeah, gets all the good stuff out.
Voila!
Poo milkshake.
Joeys love it.
My dad taught me how to look after roos.
It's in our blood.
There you go.
That's great. So he can take her.
He's dead.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Plus, you probably don't know this,
but us mob have a custom out here -
whoever does what you did
to the mother kangaroo
has to take care of the joey... or else!
Or else what?
You don't want to know.
OK.
Isn't there some kind of
animal shelter I can take her?
How long's that gonna take?
How long's a piece of string?
Yeah, about a week.
- A week?
- Mmm.
Is there...
Is there a motel around here?
Well, there's Jesse's pub.
Yeah, that won't work.
No pets allowed.
I don't have a pet. This is not my pet.
You don't want to break the custom, Chris.
Really bad luck if you do.
Oh, yeah, custom.
Custom? What's... Charlie?
What happens? What's the custom?
Charlie, what's the custom?
Charlie?
- Hey, Nan.
- Charlie...
Who's your friend?
What's the custom?
You're not thinking of
taking her home with you,
are you, love?
Nah. He's gonna look after her, Nan.
And who's he?
This is Chris.
He's the one from the news.
The one who killed the fish?
He's reading our sign.
Don't stare. Pretend we're
talking about your foot.
What's wrong with my foot?
We're being discreet.
Then why are we talking about it?
- Can I book a flight?
- Where are you heading?
Broome.
Broome town, eh?
- That's where we used to live.
- Oh.
You're gonna have to
go from Alice to Sydney
to Perth to get there.
I just came from Sydney, so...
He could do Kununurra, then Perth.
- What, and stop in Kalgoorlie?
- Not if he goes via Karratha.
- On Bush Air?
- Yeah!
May as well put him on a blind camel.
You can't put...
Actually, we do have
some lovely camel treks
if you're interested.
I don't want a camel!
I just want a direct flight to Broome.
- OK, love. Keep your shirt on.
- Ah.
For now.
But, seriously,
there are no direct flights.
Hmm.
The flight to
Kununurra is next week.
Maybe he can stay at your...
guest house.
The guest house?
Oh, yeah, guest house.
Lovely atmosphere. Massive bathroom.
You'll love it.
A flash film crew stayed here once.
Eh, Grandad?
Yeah. Well, it's where
they stored their equipment.
Uh...
There you go.
Hold on.
Oh!
No snakes. All good.
Uh...
Where's the massive bathroom?
Ta-da!
Out there. Just choose a tree.
The internet?
It's patchy here.
You can get three bars
on top of the pub roof,
but don't let Jesse catch you.
Her password's 'deadmeat'.
OK, listen, I'm... I'm Chris Masterman.
I'm a weatherman on a Logie
Award-winning television show
and I hate saying that,
because that's not who I am.
- You just said it was.
- Yeah, uh...
Yeah, well, of course it's who
I am, but it's not who I am.
Look, I'm not staying
in a shed with no toilet.
Well, look at that.
Right at home.
Here you go.
This is your new home.
We'll let you two get cosy.
- Uh...
- I left her some milk.
Is there at least a... a spa or a sauna
where I can take a shower?
- Big shower there.
- Just look up!
OK, seriously, though,
sh-should I be worried
about those dark clouds?
You're the weatherman. What do you reckon?
Uh...
Hey, what are you doing?
Get some sleep.
This is my bed. That is your bed.
Righto.
There you go.
OK. Hmm.
OK.
Come on. Ah-uh.
My bed. No, no.
Not our bed.
Night-night.
OK. Stay.
Shh, shh.
OK. This is just for tonight.
OK? After that,
we'll find you a proper home.
OK.
OK. Just one night, OK?
Come on.
OK. That's...
That's very sweet. Yeah.
Don't get any ideas.
Uh... No.
I need to go to the toilet.
You're up early.
I'll make us some breakfast.
I already had some.
Someone's in a good mood.
Dad's jacket!
Forgotten something?
This.
Do you want me to, uh... clean this?
OK.
Hmm.
Liz...
Liz, I'm on the air. I...
You named her Liz?
Breakfast!
Oh!
Um...
Um, no, I'll, uh... Thanks.
I'll, um... I'll order in.
- Hm... Oh!
- I got you a pillowcase.
Oh. Thank you.
That's very kind.
It's for her, dummy.
Yep.
Makes them feel like they're in a pouch.
I'll come back after school.
Oh.
Yep.
Hey.
Wait.
Wait!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait. Wait. Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'll take the apple.
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
There must be someone
who'll look after her.
You know the deal.
You're Liz's mum now.
- Her name's not Liz.
- Yeah, it is.
I've gotta go to school.
I'll catch you later.
Uh...
Ow. Ow.
Oh!
Ohh! No, no, no, no! The rain...
Not the Prada! Great. Perfect.
What am I gonna wear now?
You're that weatherman.
Cute!
Yeah, she is, isn't she?
I meant you.
Oh!
Thank you.
Dorinda, is it?
Mmm.
Look, I'm just passing through
and I need someone
to look after this little lady for a bit.
Uh-huh.
- Oh!
- Uh...
- I'm sorry.
- Ugh!
Hmm!
They'll fix the car,
no problem. No fees, nothing.
Hold up two... two sec... Wait, wait.
Oh, bless.
Bless, bless.
That is a kangaroo, my friend.
Or 'kere aherre' in Arrernte language.
Oh, right!
Very cute. Delicious.
Yeah.
I mean, she'd make a great mascot.
- Yes.
- Or an office pet.
- Yeah.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Mmm.
Oh.
I've peed less on a juice fast.
I don't suppose you'd like...
I'd rather eat my own bowling ball.
I can think of somewhere else
you can put it.
Thank you!
What I wanted to ask,
and obviously feel - hm-hm -
free to, um, say no,
is, um, would you be able to, um...
to, um...
What?
tell me the time?
12:35.
Great. Thank you. We'll be on our way.
Almost wet my own dacks.
Ahh!
Who are you?
Charlie's mum.
You always parade around naked?
No, I normally use the ensuite
off the master bedroom.
Sorry. Why are you here?
'Cause my kid comes here
and I wanna know what she's
doing with some stranger.
Right.
It's because of that, isn't it?
You know, it wasn't my idea. I...
I killed her mum.
And now...
because of the custom,
I have to take responsibility.
- The custom?
- Yeah.
Did, uh, Charlie
tell you about this custom?
Yeah.
Look, um...
I've got an appointment in Alice tomorrow.
There's a vet next door
if you wanna scab a lift.
- Thank you, um...
- Rosie.
Rosie, thank you. I'm...
Yeah, I know who you are.
Pretty sure the whole world does by now.
Oh!
Liz?
Liz?
Oh. There you are.
OK, come on out.
Come on. I need these.
I need these shorts. Out.
Out. Come on. Thank you.
OK, just stay there, OK?
Wait. Oh!
Ooh!
Ohhh!
Hey, come on. In you get. In you get.
Come on. That's the way.
OK, in you go. Yep! OK.
Yeah. All good.
OK.
We're going on a nice drive.
Coming! One minute!
- Yep, coming!
- Huh?
OK, no peeing on the vet.
Hear me?
Sorry.
What are you mob doing?
We're taking her to Alice Springs.
I'll be home for tea, Charlie.
But you've gotta look after her!
It's your fault she's got no mum.
Charlie needs to save everything.
But the roos?
They're extra-special for her.
I guess you know my history with animals.
You mean how...
It's OK.
- You can say it.
- Murdered a dolphin?
- I didn't murder it.
- What, eased its passing?
OK. OK.
Just forget it.
Charlie said you tried to help it.
Yeah, and look what happened -
I got cancelled.
Sorry.
What's funny?
I'm just...
I'm just trying to imagine
someone out here being cancelled.
Alright, all done.
How is she?
Yeah, she's good. She's healthy.
- She's a fighter, this one.
- Great, so you can take her?
- Take her where?
- Look after her. Here.
Oh, I see.
No, I'm afraid not.
There must be some kind of shelter.
Yeah, just up the road
in Ti Tree, 200km away.
Are you serious?
Who looks after them normally?
Chris, kangaroos aren't
a protected species.
And mob won't look after an orphaned joey.
I mean, without a full-time carer...
it's kinder to put them down.
I'm sorry - I know that's
harsh, but that's the reality.
We can take care of that here, if you like.
Here.
Have a think about it.
I'm sorry. She does this all the time.
She thinks you're her mother.
I'm sorry.
I miss you, Dad.
I'm curating an exhibition in Silver Gum
and I'd love to feature
a few pieces from here.
Uh, we've just got these new ones in.
We were lucky to get it, actually.
Really exciting up-and-coming artist.
My husband's.
I'm sorry.
Charlie mentioned that he died.
I figured it hadn't been too long.
Not that long.
But he left some special things behind.
I'll never be remembered for
something as special as this.
Nah, probably not.
But you've still got plenty of time, right?
I mean, you're only 40 or something?
And, you know, what I meant was...
You know, people don't
remember you by the big things
or the little things -
it's everything in between,
you know what I mean?
Do you think I look 40?
Uh...
Sorry. What were you saying?
Well, you know what I do know?
Joeys don't last long without their mums.
So, you must be doing something special.
Thank you, Rosie.
I'm 35, by the way.
I'll take her up to Ti Tree
when my car is fixed
and then I'm on my way.
They'll look after her at Ti Tree.
Hmm.
Three weeks? Three?!
You said one week.
Well, your distributor cap...
Doesn't just disappear. Did
you report it to the police?
Report what?
Oh, old mate's distributor
cap's gone walkabout.
Stolen is more like it.
Great! You'll be here for the boat races.
- Oh!
- Yeah!
Yeah, fantastic. Yeah.
I'll just wait here a while longer
and watch the cast of 'Deliverance'
race boats through the middle of the desert
while my career goes down the toilet.
Well, for your information,
um, there's actually no water.
Yeah, well, except for when the rains come.
But then they have the camel race.
Yeah, see, the boats,
they don't really float.
I don't care, Dave.
I'm sorry
about the 'Deliverance' thing.
It's a good movie, that one.
You know, the bit with the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Here, here!
- Tackle him!
- Here!
- Go!
- Pass, pass, pass!
And in conclusion,
the fall of the Roman Empire
was less a fall
than a gradual slide into decentralisation.
The end.
Sweet. Thanks, Murray.
No worries. Next?
Ah, Staci. What have we got this week?
Macbeth - victim or villain?
Ah, piece of cake!
Secret lives of the witches.
"Double, double, toil and trouble..."
That's when the trouble
started for Macbeth.
The witches represent the corruption
that comes with power.
When Macbeth is first told he will be king,
he's both fascinated and repulsed.
You can come sit with us.
Really?
Yep.
Uh...
Joel Warberton.
Leave a message.
Hey, kid. Lend us your phone?
Why?
Because... I'm famous?
What have you been on?
- The weather.
- That's it?
And a dental floss commercial.
Ha! Forget it.
OK.
- 10 bucks.
- 20.
- 15.
- 20.
Fine.
That commercial was on
in Brazil, by the way.
Whatever.
Charlie!
- Hello?
- Joel!
So good to hear your voice, mate.
No, no. Charlie, Charlie,
I can't. I can't...
Hello? Hello? Who is this?
Joel, are you still there?
Chris. Hey!
Yeah, I've been trying to call you.
I'm still waiting on the car.
Uh, reckon it could be a couple of weeks.
But then we can dive into
the show. What do you reckon?
Look, we're super pumped
to get this thing moving, but, um...
there's lots of moving pieces.
Why don't you just stay put for now?
Yeah. Sure.
And once the car's fixed,
we'll see you over here.
Yeah. That sounds...
You're still here, then?
Thought you'd be getting your bum waxed.
Probably too busy handing out autographs.
Sorry, I've just gotta... Hello?
Hey, Liz. I, uh...
Chris? Whose phone are you on?
Where are you?
Thought you'd be in Broome by now.
Nope. Still here.
So go home, pretty boy!
And they hate me.
Oh, come on, Liz! A bit of dignity.
Sorry, are you talking to me?
You wouldn't believe
who I'm talking to.
Listen, what can you tell me
about Warberton Entertainment?
Oh, you didn't tell me it was him.
He's always trying to get
something off the ground
and that's where they stay.
Please, Liz.
I need my job back.
- Ch... Chris...
- Liz.
I don't know what else to do.
Please, Liz.
Uh...
I can't help you, Chris. I'm... I'm sorry.
I gotta go. Good luck, Chris.
Hey, that's another 20 bucks.
Phone?
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
What are you doing here?
I brought you some food.
Ow!
What'd you do that for?
Come on.
There's something you've gotta see.
Welcome to country.
I thought it would cheer you up.
Look over there. That's
where the pathways cross.
Pathways?
The ones they follow.
Kinda like a kangaroo highway.
That one goes all the way back
west to my dad's country.
He loved kangaroos too.
Reckoned he was one.
Liked to jump, did he?
I'm sorry. You might have
meant something spiritual.
He did like to jump.
Dad used to say we're lucky,
'cause we've got two tribes -
our people and kangaroos.
But I'm starting to forget
what he looked like.
Anyways,
this is a cool place to come
if you're feeling like crap.
Charlie.
Charlie, where are you going?
I'll just be a sec.
I've got a surprise for you.
Their names are Lucky and Skip.
Your tribe's growing too, Chris.
No, Charlie. No can do.
Now that you've gotta wait
for your distributor cap...
Charlie, I know you stole
my distributor cap.
So what if I did?
It's not like you've got
anywhere else to be.
When it's time,
we'll bring them back to
country, where they belong,
with all the other roos.
He's still your mum.
Right?
How did this happen?
Weatherman to kangaroo mother.
You're gonna need a pouch.
Of course I am.
- Now that one?
- Too small.
Hmm!
Feel like spewing!
Hmm!
And...
it comes with accessories!
Just the pouch, I think.
And do you have anything
a little more, you know...
blokey?
You said just shampoo.
Yeah, but they get burrs and stuff.
Just saying, this is a lot of money
to spend on a little bit of fur.
And how many shampoos
and creams do you have?
That's different - I'm a public figure.
He also has bum cream.
I don't... I don't... don't have bum cream.
It's called Booty Balm.
- OK, can I just...
- Mm-hm!
Thank you.
Can I get a selfie?
Yeah, sure. I didn't know you were a fan.
Nah, it's my nan's birthday.
This will crack her up.
Look, Chris. It's a sign.
Yeah, I know. I'm reading it.
And it's not like you've got
anything else better to do.
Apart from babysit three roos.
- Hold these.
- Why? What are you doing?
Charlie, what are you...
Charlie?
He has nothing, poor thing.
But he's a weatherman!
Who could never predict the weather.
No friends, no life.
He needs this job.
He begged me.
They practically begged me.
I know a con when I see one, Charlie.
Begged!
Have you ever driven a bus?
No.
Do you know anything about the local area?
No.
So what makes you think
you're the right person for the job?
I have no life and I'm completely broke.
Welcome aboard.
Just one question.
Mm?
What happened to the last driver?
He, uh...
ran off with some bloke's wife.
- Didn't he, Ralph?
- Yeah.
Real shame job that one, hey?
So nothing horrible, though?
Nah.
Uh... werte.
Um...
'Hello' in Arrernte,
as we drive along this beautiful country,
Arrernte country.
And it's our job to protect
our places of significance
from all you crazy whitefellas.
Yeah, just joking.
What's that man doing?
Oh, no.
Ohh!
Looks like he caught a roo.
Hey, hey, you wait here.
I mean it.
- What's going on here, mate?
- Huh?
What does it look like?
Stupid roo got itself tangled
in my dingo trap.
Yeah, well, I got a busload of tourists
and some of them are kids, so maybe...
Rack off, will you?
'Cause I'm actually doing something.
Look, I've got him, OK?
There's no chance I'm letting him go.
Roo meat's worth good money, mate.
No, that's not happening.
Alright.
I said, rack off.
What, are you crazy?
What do you think you're doing?
Let me go, you mad dog! It's just a roo!
I didn't finish the job back there...
because there were kids watching.
So you get out of here. Now.
While you still got your balls.
Yeah, you'll keep, weatherman.
Watch your back.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You're right. I've got you.
Let's get you somewhere safe, mate.
Told you he was the one.
Well, his leg isn't broken. He'll be fine.
He just needs a few weeks of TLC.
You'll barely notice he's here.
Seriously, though,
there's not many blokes who
would stick their necks out
for these guys.
What do you reckon, eh?
Your new big brother.
Roger.
His name's Roger.
Hello, Roger.
Think it might be time for a bigger fence.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Hey, guys.
They're just curious.
We just wanted to check if he's OK.
He'll be right. You don't need to worry.
OK. Let's go.
You better be careful, eh?
You might make some new friends.
Just give it a little twist. Professional.
There you go, look at that.
Looks great! That'll do it.
What are you doing here?
Oh, I heard there was a roo
that hates you more than me.
- That's funny.
- Yeah.
You sure you can handle this one, mate?
He looks a bit punchy.
He's just scared.
Just giving you some brekkie.
Slow movements, Chris. Take it easy.
Five bucks says the roo guts him.
That's illegal gambling.
- Make it 10.
- Yeah?
OK, yeah. Come on.
Here you go.
Argh!
- Oh!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look behind you!
- Ooh!
- Damn!
Oh!
Ooh, that's gonna hurt.
Stay down. Just stay down.
- Can you get up?
- Are you OK, Chris?
- Hit him, Roger!
- Hey, Rog. I'm good.
- Come on!
- Duck and weave.
Come on, Roger!
- Yeah, that's right.
- There's your chance.
Go, Rog! Go, Roger!
Duck and weave, Chris.
Hey, he's not bad.
We need another man on the boat team.
You reckon he's quick enough?
What do you reckon, Charlie? Hey?
Not bad for an old man. Don't
need a hand with this, eh? Eh?
Come on, mate. Stick
and move. Stick and move!
- Should've put a bet on me.
- Duck and weave, Chris!
Come on, Roger, show him who's boss!
Come on. Hey!
Whoa!
Saw that coming.
Oh. Whoops.
You right, mate?
Um...
Chris, you...
We were thinking maybe
you should join our team
for the boat races, yeah?
I can't feel my body.
That's a maybe?
Here.
Yeah, thanks for the money, Chris.
Ah.
I was once a great beauty.
Liz?
Where'd she get this?
You're very photogenic.
Listen, I get it.
You're young, your body's a machine
and I'm a little bit past my prime.
I'm not afraid to admit that.
But can you please stop making
me look so weak all the time?
Hey, Chris.
I was just talking to Roger.
- Does that sound weird?
- Have you met my daughter?
Right.
Any chance you know where she is?
A dusk run.
Oh.
It was Charlie and her dad's thing.
You know, the kangaroos.
Before he got sick.
I guess she thinks
that if she can get close enough to them...
she might get the answers
she's searching for,
like, that somehow he's still...
Do you want a glass of pinot?
I've got paperwork.
So maybe stay for spaghetti bolognaise?
- I gotta get on top of...
- I'm a great listener.
And I think that's because...
everything 'cause I feel overwhelmed.
nobody really cares what I think.
I bloody miss him.
I'm so angry.
And I've got this kid
that needs me to keep it together, but...
Everyone tells me that I'm so strong,
and I feel like that I'm falling apart.
It's really...
very good pasta.
You know everyone's pretty impressed
by what you did for Roger.
Especially Dad.
He reckons you doubled the tourist trade.
And you make a good feed.
I won 'Celebrity MasterChef', Rosie.
How could you not know that?
I'm sorry for what I said in the car.
About you murdering that dolphin.
She showed me the clip.
Charlie loved that
you didn't give up on it.
She really looks up to you, you know?
- Crikey.
- Yeah, I know.
And you come with good references.
Eh?
Yes!
Welcome to the Silver Gum Boat Race,
the driest and dustiest
boat race in the world!
And look at these beautiful big boats!
Four boats, four teams.
Our biggest turnout yet.
- OK?
- Come on.
OK, sailors, launch your boats!
Here we go.
- Giddy-up.
- Come on, everyone.
And they're off!
Gastric Gourmet starts well.
Left, right! Left, right!
Faster!
Go! Go! Go!
- We got this! We got this!
- We got this!
More gas into it, Gourmet.
More gas into it!
Go, Mum!
Arr! Arr! Arr! Arr!
Turn it right up!
And the Silver Angels are in last place.
Go, my Gwennie! Go!
But it's still anyone's race.
The Gourmets need to get
a new burst of energy.
Look what's up with
starboard! Look starboard!
Oh, Full Throttle! Full Throttle!
Here comes the Throttle.
Chris is a man on a mission.
- In your face, losers!
- Keep going!
Gas it up, Gourmets!
- Gas it up, Gourmets!
- OK, let's go!
Go, Nan!
Come on, come on, come on!
Come on! Keep going, fellas.
- Roo crossing!
- What?
We're out in front! We're...
What the...
- Huh?
- Come on, let's go!
- Let's go, girls! Let's go!
- Keep going!
Aww!
Look at that. Hey.
- Ohh!
- Oh, bless. Beautiful.
- Faster!
- Come on!
- Keep going!
- Let's go!
Go!
Oh, we've done it!
Nice one, Brenda!
I don't believe it.
The Silver Angels win!
This is the first time
in boat-racing history
the Angels have taken out
the Sue and Kevin Fletcher
Memorial Teaspoon!
You little beauties!
Congratulations.
Good work. Good work, Angels!
Sorry, guys. I tried my best.
No, it's all good, mate.
You started. We're winning!
Bet that was the first time
anyone in this town
has slowed down for a roo.
- You did good.
- Come on, everyone.
- Back to my place.
- You too.
- Come on!
- I want a party pie.
Alright, first round's on me!
Goodnight, everyone.
As Murray would say,
parting is such sweet sorrow.
Goodnight.
So good.
Yee-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Yeah!
Put roo back on the menu, Jesse!
Let's get it, boys!
Come on! Come on!
Oh, check it out, boys!
He's made a little home for 'em!
Hey, watch the rock!
Where's Lucky?
Check it, boys!
Where's Lucky?
Lucky. Hey, hey, hey.
Yoo!
- There he is!
- Roger, get back!
There's our roo!
Back!
Ah! What's wrong, eh?
Not so tough now, are you, weatherman?
What do you want?
What I want is that roo meat
that you stole from me.
Over my dead body.
Yeah, fine by me, mate.
Hold him.
Oh, look, here's one of those little ones!
He's just in time for Bluey's tucker.
Let out the dogs!
Don't you go near him.
Leave him alone!
Hey!
Bugger off, Trap. Take your
little Mini-Mes with you.
Oh, come on, Jesse!
We're having a laugh with him.
Oh, yeah, I'm having a little laugh too.
Do you need this tyre?
Yeah. Leave the car alone.
OK. So bugger off.
You come near this place again,
I'll put rat poison in your beer.
Oh, we're going!
- We're going.
- Have a good night.
Oh, relax! Far out, Jesse.
What's the matter with you?
Just having a laugh with him.
I think your little one needs you.
Hey, hey.
Yeah, so I came out here
on an Outback Safari food tour
and I haven't left.
Because you found people who liked you?
No.
I like me.
I'm glad someone does.
Very good.
And on that note, I will say goodnight.
You should probably ice that arm.
Oh, wait, you don't have any ice.
Hey, Jesse...
Yeah, I know.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, hey. Whoa. Whoa! OK.
You're getting slow in your old age.
Ow!
Look out, Chris!
G'day, Rubes.
How you doin' there?
Look! Look!
Isn't she getting big?
Fish and chips.
You gonna eat that?
You're not gonna eat that.
- Hey, Chrisso!
- Hey, Dave.
- Hey, Chris!
- You're not gonna eat that.
I am going to eat that.
Hey, Chris.
Look what I've got for you.
Oh!
Great!
Ah, in your face, marsupial!
Dingo.
No.
We hop away. Like this.
We hop, we hop, hop away.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, get it off.
Warren, Warren.
That's funny.
Oh, there's some things
you just can't unsee.
Separation anxiety.
"It is a far, far better thing that I do
"than I have ever done.
"It is a far, far better rest that I go to
"than I have ever known."
And just pull the little slip
over their head.
Watch their feet.
And then the bottom bit...
- There she is.
- Oh!
And now pull this bit back.
'Night, guys.
'Night, Lizzy.
'Night, Roger!
Your dad was amazing.
Yeah.
He painted this one for me.
We are the kangaroos.
Right.
Sorry, what does that mean?
The kangaroos are special to us.
Our totems.
That's why he painted them.
And how we're connected all the way back.
Ah!
I get it. Wow!
That's beautiful.
- Beautifuller.
- Mm-hm. Brighter.
- Bluer.
- Bulgier.
Burpingly beautifuller.
You ready to do this?
Yeah?
Let's go show Roger
how burpingly beautiful the world is, huh?
Can I come too?
You're not gonna cry, are you?
Over a roo? As if!
I know we've had our differences,
but it's hard to say goodbye, and, uh...
I'm sorry.
So, I, uh...
I just wanted to say...
that I love you, big guy.
And if you ever want to vis...
Oh! Ohh!
I'll go down with Roger.
Just one gesture.
Just... one little acknowledgement.
That's all I wanted.
He's home.
Can I help you?
I certainly hope so.
Liz?
G'day, stranger.
This is, uh, Liz.
She used to be my boss.
So... this is the famous shed.
It's very cute.
It's kind of like a little cubbyhouse.
So who's this little one, then?
Liz.
Charlie, can you, um, make sure
the other joeys have their dinner, please?
Now? Thank you.
- Liz?
- Yeah. That was a mistake.
Oh, I'll try not to take it personally.
Liz, meet Liz.
OK. OK, um...
Hi!
Hi there.
Here you are.
Thanks, Jesse.
Are you open for dinner tonight?
Absolutely, Liz.
And might I recommend
the grilled barramundi
with wild rice pilaf
and steamed baby bok choy.
Could I get you some
sparkling water for your room?
Oh, tap water's fine.
Oh, tap water.
Amazing service!
Let's take a walk.
There's been a shift.
OK.
What, with everything that's going on here,
the public, they don't want revenge.
They want redemption.
And you've gone viral, Chris,
and they love you.
Look at this!
I had no idea it had gotten so big.
Roger.
Chris, you've been offered a job.
It's a fantastic opportunity.
It's Friday night. It's a prime-time slot.
They want me to fly down
and do segments about pet kangaroos?
No, Chris, they want you to host.
Your very own show.
Welcome back.
They want me to host?
It's what you've always wanted.
I...
Hey, Charlie!
Why don't you come down?
You can come up.
I reckon you'll be going back
to Sydney now.
Maybe.
Maybe means yes.
No. It means maybe.
What about the joeys?
Well, maybe this is good timing, Charlie.
The shed's packed.
We can take them to that Ti Tree place.
You are leaving!
I haven't made any decisions yet.
Yes, you have! I can tell!
Charlie! Come on, it's getting late.
You can't send them away.
You saved them.
That's what you do.
You save animals.
I've got an opportunity that
I've always wanted, Charlie.
What you did for that dolphin...
No, I didn't...
was amazing and you can't leave.
I didn't do it for the dolphin, Charlie.
I did it for me.
To stand out.
To be noticed.
Us mob don't care about stuff like that.
We just want to belong.
Then why are you always running away
from people who care about you, Charlie?
No, Charlie...
Wait. Charlie!
Ooh! Ahh!
Charlie!
Ugh!
- Where's she going?
- Charlie!
- Is she OK?
- Charlie!
Good one, mate.
Come on, Rosie.
I was never gonna be here long.
You know I'll do everything I
can to keep these joeys safe.
It's not just about the roos, Chris.
And you know it.
Why do all our bus drivers
turn out to be duds?
Charlie! Charlie?
Charlie...
Hey, Charlie.
What do you need?
I'm not gonna let
Chris take them away.
I'm taking them back to their mob.
Yes! We're in.
Hey.
Why are you helping me?
I'm not. I'm helping them.
Thank you.
Just make sure you come back.
We need a good midfielder.
See ya!
Are you sure you know how to drive?
Of course! Kinda.
- 'Bye!
- See ya!
We're gonna get in so much trouble.
Tomorrow, once I fill up
the tank, I'll be on my way.
The network's taking care of your airfare.
Do you think they know?
Don't know. Do they always
look at you like that?
No.
I mean, Jesse did.
Does.
Guys.
Oh, sorry, we've, um, just reinstated
the 'no boofheads' policy.
So... see ya.
I thought you'd be glad
to see the back of me.
Et tu, Brute.
I am.
It's the roos that I'm worried about.
You didn't want a bar of the kangaroos.
The little ones have just
started to settle in.
Seems a shame to send them up to Ti Tree.
I've been teaching Liz how to shake hands
in case they ever do a remake of 'Skippy'.
And for your information,
your car was ready two weeks ago.
What car?
Oh.
That car.
What am I supposed to do with this?
It's a formula I invented
with vanilla bean and rosehip.
I'll just flush it down
the toilet, shall I?
That's...
weirdly nice of you.
All of you.
We're just going to miss them, is all.
They've become part of the community.
And we're off.
- Ohh!
- And he's off.
Where's he going?
- Loser.
- Boofhead.
Because someone needs to be there
in case she turns up, Mum.
Please, just wait?
I'll call you when I know more.
Anything?
I just got here.
Look. And the bus is gone.
Are we sure she's not
back at home or at the gallery?
No.
I thought you'd know where she is.
I've got no idea.
- Where are you going?
- The cops.
Well, I'll come with you.
What's it to you? You're leaving.
Oh, come on, Rosie.
That is not fair! Rosie! Rosie!
Rosie!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Anything?
- I need your car.
Can you stay here in case she comes back?
Uh, yeah.
You idiot!
Highway. I'm on the wrong highway.
Argh!
She's on kangaroo highway!
Oh! No!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
Argh!
OK.
Just remember...
stay in your vehicle.
Charlie!
Charlie!
Charlie!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Base camp, we've spotted the tour bus.
Heading over there now to see
if the girl is on site.
Thank you. Keep me posted.
Hey, Masto here.
Leave a message.
Chris, if you get this, give me a call.
No-one knows where you are.
Please? Can you just call... call me?
Thank you, thank you.
Hello? Chris? It's Nick.
Um, just so you know
that the highway patrol
have gone after Charlie.
So just... just give me a call.
And if... if you do get lost,
do not leave your car.
I repeat, do not leave your car.
OK. Thank you.
'Bye. 'Bye. 'Bye. Thank you.
Small sips.
What...
How did you find me?
I didn't.
He did.
What are you even doing out here?
What kind of idiot
wanders off on their own?
I was looking for you.
Oh.
Thought you'd be the hero?
Stand out from the crowd again?
I was looking for my friend.
Why did you run away?
If you're not gonna be here,
I want them to be with their mob.
That's where my dad is.
He said he'll always be
out there with them.
With me.
But I can never run fast enough to keep up.
So stop.
Let them come to you.
Let's go home.
You look really bad.
Like in a ruggedly handsome kind of way?
Nah. Just bad.
Can I drive the bus back?
Don't push your luck.
Hey, here they come!
There she is - Mum.
Yeah, just there.
Here she is.
Hmm?
- Charlie!
- Charlie girl!
- Come here.
- Mum! And Nan!
I told you I'd find her.
- I know, I know.
- Hey?
Next time, yeah?
Do that again, you're grounded for life.
- You did it.
- Sorry, Nan.
- Good onya.
- Ah, so good to see you.
God, I was really scared.
Don't ever do that again, OK?
Oh!
Let's have a drink, eh?
Here he is.
Hey, what about us?
We helped too.
You guys are still in trouble.
Go on, Charlie.
Yep.
- Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, guys!
- Hey, Charlie.
- Good to have you back.
- Who wants a beer?
- Me, please!
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers. Cheers, everybody.
Cheers!
- Cheers! Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Oop!
- Cheers.
Cheers.
You're not coming home, are you?
Seriously?
I thought being a host
was all you ever wanted.
You've got literally hundreds
of thousands of people
that want to see you on air.
Yeah, but...
these are the ones that count.
Hey!
Hey, Chris!
- Come on over, mate!
- Come on, Chris!
There's a beer with your name on it.
Oh, you picked a fine time to grow up!
- Alright.
- Hmm.
Whoo-hoo!
Cheers!
Good onya, mate.
Cheers!
Pick it up a bit, Freddy.
That's it, mate.
Good, Charlie.
Nice footwork, Charlie.
- Nice. Keep the ball moving.
- Here, Charlie.
Keep the ball moving.
Beautiful kick.
Whoo!
Bloody hell.
Good kick.
- Good one, Charlie.
- Alright.
Where did she learn to kick like that?
Why don't we have lunch at the shed?
Are you guys hungry?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Alright, gather up all the balls.
Good kick!
Ruby...
That feel good getting nice and dry?
What are you looking at?
Nothin'.
OK, Auntie Jesse has to go and
check the fondant potatoes.
- Thank you, Uncle Chris.
- Thank you, Auntie Jesse.
Formula here.
They're loving the new formula, Jesse.
Thanks, Ruby!
Can you open a snack?
Make sure it breathes.
- Is that the '92?
- Yes.
I won it at a perfectly legal poker game.
Do you mind checking on
the fondant potatoes?
Look for a... a chewy base and a crispy top.
Right you are, Jesse.
More donations.
One of them's come all the way
from Uzbekistan.
- Thanks, Dorinda.
- OK.
Hey, you keep your shirt on.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Gwennie.
Mwah. That looks beautiful.
Hi, guys! Come on, team.
Where's Charlie?
Where do you think?
She's out there with her mob.
Jess, you've outdone yourself.
Hey, Charlie.
Here we go.
Feast your eyes, everybody.
Is that homemade chutney?
Flown in from NZ.
Not as good as
Gwennie's, but you did good.
- Hey, Aunty, Aunty, sit here.
- Real deal.
- You're welcome.
- Look at that one scratching.
Here you go, Casper.
Hold her underneath.
One more, Charlie.
Thanks, Chris.
Hey, Dad, you gonna carve this up, or what?
Yep, I could eat a horse.
and pull on your budgie smugglers
'cause Sydney's favourite weatherman
is taking us to Bondi Beach.
I'm Chris Masterman
and this is
'Rise and Shine Australia' weather.
That's right, folks.
Today I'll be bringing you the weather
live from Bondi Beach
where I'll be following
a group of lifeguards
to find out exactly what
makes a true hero tick.
Isn't that right, guys?
Guys?
No. Don't you dare.
Don't you...
And welcome to Bondi.
I guess that's back to wardrobe for me
and, uh, back to you in the studio.
Uh...
And... out.
Great. Hey, thanks so much, guys.
OK. That was...
- Did that work?
- Let's pick it up
from the sound end
for the regional report, yeah?
OK. No, I don't want
anything. Hey, Liz. Liz.
Hang on. Liz. Wait up.
Uh...
Is it tr...
Is it true that Ted's looking for
a new host for 'Rise and Shine'?
Oh, you know I can't discuss that.
Yeah, I know that.
I know that. But come on.
I think... I think he's looking for someone
who's into current affairs.
I can do that.
Ask me anything.
The capital of any country.
Denmark.
The capital of any country
that speaks English.
Canada.
OK. That's a terrible example, but come on!
I've been doing the weather for six years.
I'm sick of being the guy
that gets water dumped on him.
Chris, that was your idea.
No, Pants Off Friday was my idea.
- The wet T-shirt was...
- Look, do you know what?
You want to be host and you
want to be noticed by Ted,
show him that there is
more to you than just... this.
Right. OK. Got it.
More what?
Come on, get the ball, Lachlan!
Yes, yes! Here, here, here!
- Casper! Get it!
- Go, go, go!
- Pass it here!
- Pass it!
Pass, pass, pass!
- Oi! Pass it here! Oi! Here!
- Catch!
- Ready?
- Go, Casper!
Yeah! Good one, Freddy!
Good kick, Freddy!
Hey, it's the new kid.
What's her name again?
Charlie.
Could you kick us the ball?
Nice rat.
She's not a rat.
Whoa!
Whoa.
Come on, guys.
What's her problem anyways?
Has she moved here for good?
Casper, she just lost her dad.
You have to hide or Mum will freak out.
Thanks for letting me know.
You know who that was, eh?
Starts with 'S', rhymes with 'cool'.
Charlie, you can't keep wagging school.
The headmaster asked if
we need to see a counsellor.
I mean, next thing
they're gonna be calling
Child Services on me.
In case you haven't noticed,
I'm having a nervous breakdown here.
Maybe you should go
call that counsellor, then.
I'm gonna have to put
one of those eartags on you
like they do with kangaroos.
Have to catch me first.
So, as a weatherman,
I've been thrown into
a number of life-threatening situations,
so, yeah, I've had the word 'hero'
flung at me from time to time.
But you guys,
you're the real heroes.
Go on, tell us the secret,
Jonesy.
Well, uh, I don't know if
you'd call us heroes, but...
- What the...?
- ..we just keep people safe.
- Is that a shark?
- No, it's a dolphin.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. It's a baby dolphin.
It's trapped in the pool.
I called them, Jonesy!
ORCA are on their way!
Looks like a baby shark.
Here. Hold this. Phil, Phil, on me.
On me.
Chris, what are you doing?
Just keep following
on me!
Dude, dude, don't touch it!
Well, it's in trouble.
I can't just leave it there.
There's a reason they come into the beach.
Chris!
Mate, we've called ORCA.
Get out of the water.
Not on my watch.
Get that dolphin out on the water.
Time to go home, mate!
It's going back out to sea!
Hey?
- He's free! Whoo!
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
In a tragic twist
of the dolphin rescue yesterday,
the baby dolphin has been
found dead on Bondi Beach.
Jonesy, what happened?
The dolphin swam in
just to have a bit of a rest.
I told the weatherman not to touch it,
but he just wouldn't listen.
According to experts,
it had been suffering from a lung disease
and swam into the shallows
for some much needed rest.
We've yet to hear from
the Channel 6 network.
Might have known you'd blow it.
We just ignore it, right?
I don't want anyone talking to the press.
Yeah, I mean, it'll blow over
in a day or two.
Right?
- Dolphin killer!
- You should be locked up!
Well, I didn't know it was sick!
Move! Just move!
Why do they hate me? That dolphin...
- Made you a hero for 24 hours.
- I was trying to help.
No, you were trying to go
viral to get noticed by Ted.
Because you told me to get noticed.
I did and... and you did
and... and it backfired
and I'm really sorry.
But maybe just see this
as a blessing in disguise.
A chance to really think about
your priorities.
My car!
I meant your life priorities.
Hey.
Just... take some time out.
Maybe just try listening to this.
Who knows, it might
actually make you happy.
Now, just go, OK?
What do we want? Masto out!
When do we want it? Now!
Just give it a go, Charlie.
For me?
Come on, Freddy!
Hmm.
You're out. Out!
Everyone in the class! Hurry up!
Mate, it's Chris.
Look, I don't know if you've heard, but...
Oh, you have?
And I know I said no to anything regional,
but I've been thinking a lot
about it and I...
Oh, you did.
And Channel 9 has always been the goal, so...
Fine. So, that's a definite no or...?
OK.
You are awesome.
You deserve your fame.
In the midst of chaos, there is also...
Yeah?
Chris, Joel Warberton here.
Warberton Productions.
And they don't mind that I... I kind of...
No, no, no, no. That'll blow
over in a couple of weeks.
That's fine.
Good-looking Aussie guy
that loves the outdoors...
You're exactly what they want.
We've been trying to find
someone like you for ages.
And now...
Now?
Well, now we can afford you.
Look, um, Sydney's an amazing...
an amazing place to work...
We're thinking Broome.
I love Broome.
Yeah, I actually grew up in WA.
I... I own a Chevy Corvette.
It was my dad's.
And, uh, in my 20s,
we drove it up the coast.
Even better.
Drive it over there,
we'll feature it in the show.
Stick it on the billboard.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
'Masto's World'.
'Masto's... World'.
And by the time you get over
there, we'll have the money.
We'll see you in Broome.
Um, my name is Shauna.
Chris Masterman is a monster.
He never cared about that dolphin!
He only cares about himself.
He's all "Me, me..."
Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures.
A lot more intelligent
than Chris Masterman.
"Oh, thanks for lunch, Mum.
"So many starving children in the world.
"Glad I'm not one of them."
Two words - eat up.
Dad always got us
fish and chips on Sundays.
Hey.
Hey, Mum. Hey, Dad.
Chicken's on the table. Help yourself.
Hey, I got my mouth
all ready for fish and chips.
Ralph...
What did I say?
How long are you gonna
keep this up, Charlie?
You're acting like I moved you
to the North Pole or something.
Oh, my...
Charlie! Not again!
- Shoo!
- Mum, please!
- Get out! Go on! Out!
- Mum, don't!
- Get out!
- Stop. You're scaring them.
Good!
Now you know how I feel
every time they come into your room.
Only three this time.
Is the back gate open for them?
Yep.
Charlie, they'll be fine.
That's where they belong.
And I told you a thousand
times before, no more roos.
- Someone else can save them.
- That's not fair!
Dad would've helped them.
But you don't care about him.
You don't care about Dad.
Of course I care.
You don't think I miss him too?
Why did we leave, then?
I can't do this by myself, Charlie.
I needed to come home.
This town sucks!
There's no-one here!
Nanna's here, Grandad's here, I'm here.
I wish Dad was here and not you!
Well, he's not.
It's just me now.
So... please just... clean this mess up.
Now, don't say anything stupid, will you?
Well, what's that supposed to mean?
Mmm.
Mm.
Why don't you get her one of those oodles?
You know, those fancy dogs
people have in the city.
They look like skinny sheep.
Just leave it, Dad.
No, but they've still got a dog's brain.
- Ralph.
- What?
You'll be right, bub.
You'll get through this.
You're strong.
Ohh!
Hey, Ken, where's Barbie?
Yeah, righto.
Here we go.
- Usual, Trap?
- You know it!
Absolutely stinging for one of these.
Ugh! Friggin' hot out there.
Am I adding this to your tab?
Yeah, ta.
Something funny?
No, I think it's a nice touch.
What do you mean?
Cordon Bleu... out here.
I mean... can you imagine?
It's not fake?
I think I'd know a fake
if I saw one.
Uh, I'll take a sparkling water, thanks.
Icelandic Glacier, if you have one.
We get that pumped directly from a mountain
called Eyjafjallajkull.
It's in Iceland.
I was just asking.
Is there a menu?
Yeah. Ham sandwiches.
You don't have like a... a salad?
No, because then I would
have said ham sandwiches...
and a salad.
So that's the entire menu?
Yep. The full degustation.
Right.
I will take, um, the sandwich
and can I have lettuce inside?
No, because I don't have lettuce
because I don't have salad.
If you want salad,
you could go to the Lebanese
place just down the road.
It's right next to Jamba Juice
and the Sushi Spot
in the spiritual wellness centre.
OK, you don't need to be so bloody rude.
Hey! Aren't you that guy who
killed a dolphin in Sydney?
Yeah!
Oh, yeah! I seen that on telly!
It's him, it's him.
The fish killer.
Ah!
Aw, 'bye, fish killer!
Huh!
Can you take us for a cruise?
A cruise? No. Um...
Can you not touch it, please?
Over there, over there.
- Like this?
- Yes, like that.
How come?
Because it's a collector
and I'm asking you not to touch it.
I've got one just like it.
Don't touch it!
Watch out, leadfoot.
That bin's a collector.
That's actually a really cool car.
Couldn't be happier!
Oh!
Ohh!
Come on!
Oh!
Oh!
Not again.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey.
You OK?
Hey.
- Why did he do that?
- Ha! What a loser.
Poor dolphin.
See? Told you it was him.
So he's, like, famous?
Why is he looking so happy?
Hey!
Look who's back!
- Oh.
- What's he doing here?
Where's his car?
Oh, Gucci store's next door.
That's funny.
Now get that horrible thing out of here.
Look, mate...
Oh, sorry. I was talking to the kangaroo.
Someone's gonna have to look after it.
What happened to its mum?
I sort of...
knocked her over.
"For the Angel of Death
spread his wings on the blast,
"and breathed in the face
of the foe as he passed."
Yeah.
Thank you. That's very helpful.
It's Lord Byron.
Murray here is a Rhodes scholar.
Out here.
Can you imagine?
OK.
Did I offend you?
I know your type.
My Corvette is a mess.
I need a mechanic. Can you please help me?
This is a hotel, not a kennel.
Get out.
OK, fine, but if she dies,
it's blood on your hands.
OK? Thank you so much.
You've been very helpful.
You're welcome.
Tourism Australia should
put you on a... retainer.
Not a bad idea.
Wonder what they'd pay.
Thought you might need
some help with your car.
Who are you?
I'm Charlie and this is my Uncle Dave.
He's a mechanic.
Can you fix a classic Corvette?
Yeah, nah, but I'll give it a crack.
She looks pretty hungry.
Come on, mate, jump in.
Nah, just kidding, bro.
Go on, in you get, in you get.
Come on.
It's a long way to walk, bro.
Come on, are you getting in or what?
I hate this town.
Seatbelts.
Please tell me that's Vegemite.
Tastier than that.
We begin with some kangaroo goona.
Gonna need new gaskets.
Adult roo poo.
Oh, ho, we'd better call the undertaker
for your cooling system.
Joel Warberton.
Leave a message.
Joel, um...
Ah, that's not good.
I've had a bit of a prang
and, uh, I... I need to push back.
A few days.
Can you... can you give me
a call when you get this?
It's... it's Chris, by the way.
When it's all mixed,
then you've gotta pour the water in
and push the poo through down like that.
Yeah, gets all the good stuff out.
Voila!
Poo milkshake.
Joeys love it.
My dad taught me how to look after roos.
It's in our blood.
There you go.
That's great. So he can take her.
He's dead.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Plus, you probably don't know this,
but us mob have a custom out here -
whoever does what you did
to the mother kangaroo
has to take care of the joey... or else!
Or else what?
You don't want to know.
OK.
Isn't there some kind of
animal shelter I can take her?
How long's that gonna take?
How long's a piece of string?
Yeah, about a week.
- A week?
- Mmm.
Is there...
Is there a motel around here?
Well, there's Jesse's pub.
Yeah, that won't work.
No pets allowed.
I don't have a pet. This is not my pet.
You don't want to break the custom, Chris.
Really bad luck if you do.
Oh, yeah, custom.
Custom? What's... Charlie?
What happens? What's the custom?
Charlie, what's the custom?
Charlie?
- Hey, Nan.
- Charlie...
Who's your friend?
What's the custom?
You're not thinking of
taking her home with you,
are you, love?
Nah. He's gonna look after her, Nan.
And who's he?
This is Chris.
He's the one from the news.
The one who killed the fish?
He's reading our sign.
Don't stare. Pretend we're
talking about your foot.
What's wrong with my foot?
We're being discreet.
Then why are we talking about it?
- Can I book a flight?
- Where are you heading?
Broome.
Broome town, eh?
- That's where we used to live.
- Oh.
You're gonna have to
go from Alice to Sydney
to Perth to get there.
I just came from Sydney, so...
He could do Kununurra, then Perth.
- What, and stop in Kalgoorlie?
- Not if he goes via Karratha.
- On Bush Air?
- Yeah!
May as well put him on a blind camel.
You can't put...
Actually, we do have
some lovely camel treks
if you're interested.
I don't want a camel!
I just want a direct flight to Broome.
- OK, love. Keep your shirt on.
- Ah.
For now.
But, seriously,
there are no direct flights.
Hmm.
The flight to
Kununurra is next week.
Maybe he can stay at your...
guest house.
The guest house?
Oh, yeah, guest house.
Lovely atmosphere. Massive bathroom.
You'll love it.
A flash film crew stayed here once.
Eh, Grandad?
Yeah. Well, it's where
they stored their equipment.
Uh...
There you go.
Hold on.
Oh!
No snakes. All good.
Uh...
Where's the massive bathroom?
Ta-da!
Out there. Just choose a tree.
The internet?
It's patchy here.
You can get three bars
on top of the pub roof,
but don't let Jesse catch you.
Her password's 'deadmeat'.
OK, listen, I'm... I'm Chris Masterman.
I'm a weatherman on a Logie
Award-winning television show
and I hate saying that,
because that's not who I am.
- You just said it was.
- Yeah, uh...
Yeah, well, of course it's who
I am, but it's not who I am.
Look, I'm not staying
in a shed with no toilet.
Well, look at that.
Right at home.
Here you go.
This is your new home.
We'll let you two get cosy.
- Uh...
- I left her some milk.
Is there at least a... a spa or a sauna
where I can take a shower?
- Big shower there.
- Just look up!
OK, seriously, though,
sh-should I be worried
about those dark clouds?
You're the weatherman. What do you reckon?
Uh...
Hey, what are you doing?
Get some sleep.
This is my bed. That is your bed.
Righto.
There you go.
OK. Hmm.
OK.
Come on. Ah-uh.
My bed. No, no.
Not our bed.
Night-night.
OK. Stay.
Shh, shh.
OK. This is just for tonight.
OK? After that,
we'll find you a proper home.
OK.
OK. Just one night, OK?
Come on.
OK. That's...
That's very sweet. Yeah.
Don't get any ideas.
Uh... No.
I need to go to the toilet.
You're up early.
I'll make us some breakfast.
I already had some.
Someone's in a good mood.
Dad's jacket!
Forgotten something?
This.
Do you want me to, uh... clean this?
OK.
Hmm.
Liz...
Liz, I'm on the air. I...
You named her Liz?
Breakfast!
Oh!
Um...
Um, no, I'll, uh... Thanks.
I'll, um... I'll order in.
- Hm... Oh!
- I got you a pillowcase.
Oh. Thank you.
That's very kind.
It's for her, dummy.
Yep.
Makes them feel like they're in a pouch.
I'll come back after school.
Oh.
Yep.
Hey.
Wait.
Wait!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait. Wait. Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'll take the apple.
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
There must be someone
who'll look after her.
You know the deal.
You're Liz's mum now.
- Her name's not Liz.
- Yeah, it is.
I've gotta go to school.
I'll catch you later.
Uh...
Ow. Ow.
Oh!
Ohh! No, no, no, no! The rain...
Not the Prada! Great. Perfect.
What am I gonna wear now?
You're that weatherman.
Cute!
Yeah, she is, isn't she?
I meant you.
Oh!
Thank you.
Dorinda, is it?
Mmm.
Look, I'm just passing through
and I need someone
to look after this little lady for a bit.
Uh-huh.
- Oh!
- Uh...
- I'm sorry.
- Ugh!
Hmm!
They'll fix the car,
no problem. No fees, nothing.
Hold up two... two sec... Wait, wait.
Oh, bless.
Bless, bless.
That is a kangaroo, my friend.
Or 'kere aherre' in Arrernte language.
Oh, right!
Very cute. Delicious.
Yeah.
I mean, she'd make a great mascot.
- Yes.
- Or an office pet.
- Yeah.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Mmm.
Oh.
I've peed less on a juice fast.
I don't suppose you'd like...
I'd rather eat my own bowling ball.
I can think of somewhere else
you can put it.
Thank you!
What I wanted to ask,
and obviously feel - hm-hm -
free to, um, say no,
is, um, would you be able to, um...
to, um...
What?
tell me the time?
12:35.
Great. Thank you. We'll be on our way.
Almost wet my own dacks.
Ahh!
Who are you?
Charlie's mum.
You always parade around naked?
No, I normally use the ensuite
off the master bedroom.
Sorry. Why are you here?
'Cause my kid comes here
and I wanna know what she's
doing with some stranger.
Right.
It's because of that, isn't it?
You know, it wasn't my idea. I...
I killed her mum.
And now...
because of the custom,
I have to take responsibility.
- The custom?
- Yeah.
Did, uh, Charlie
tell you about this custom?
Yeah.
Look, um...
I've got an appointment in Alice tomorrow.
There's a vet next door
if you wanna scab a lift.
- Thank you, um...
- Rosie.
Rosie, thank you. I'm...
Yeah, I know who you are.
Pretty sure the whole world does by now.
Oh!
Liz?
Liz?
Oh. There you are.
OK, come on out.
Come on. I need these.
I need these shorts. Out.
Out. Come on. Thank you.
OK, just stay there, OK?
Wait. Oh!
Ooh!
Ohhh!
Hey, come on. In you get. In you get.
Come on. That's the way.
OK, in you go. Yep! OK.
Yeah. All good.
OK.
We're going on a nice drive.
Coming! One minute!
- Yep, coming!
- Huh?
OK, no peeing on the vet.
Hear me?
Sorry.
What are you mob doing?
We're taking her to Alice Springs.
I'll be home for tea, Charlie.
But you've gotta look after her!
It's your fault she's got no mum.
Charlie needs to save everything.
But the roos?
They're extra-special for her.
I guess you know my history with animals.
You mean how...
It's OK.
- You can say it.
- Murdered a dolphin?
- I didn't murder it.
- What, eased its passing?
OK. OK.
Just forget it.
Charlie said you tried to help it.
Yeah, and look what happened -
I got cancelled.
Sorry.
What's funny?
I'm just...
I'm just trying to imagine
someone out here being cancelled.
Alright, all done.
How is she?
Yeah, she's good. She's healthy.
- She's a fighter, this one.
- Great, so you can take her?
- Take her where?
- Look after her. Here.
Oh, I see.
No, I'm afraid not.
There must be some kind of shelter.
Yeah, just up the road
in Ti Tree, 200km away.
Are you serious?
Who looks after them normally?
Chris, kangaroos aren't
a protected species.
And mob won't look after an orphaned joey.
I mean, without a full-time carer...
it's kinder to put them down.
I'm sorry - I know that's
harsh, but that's the reality.
We can take care of that here, if you like.
Here.
Have a think about it.
I'm sorry. She does this all the time.
She thinks you're her mother.
I'm sorry.
I miss you, Dad.
I'm curating an exhibition in Silver Gum
and I'd love to feature
a few pieces from here.
Uh, we've just got these new ones in.
We were lucky to get it, actually.
Really exciting up-and-coming artist.
My husband's.
I'm sorry.
Charlie mentioned that he died.
I figured it hadn't been too long.
Not that long.
But he left some special things behind.
I'll never be remembered for
something as special as this.
Nah, probably not.
But you've still got plenty of time, right?
I mean, you're only 40 or something?
And, you know, what I meant was...
You know, people don't
remember you by the big things
or the little things -
it's everything in between,
you know what I mean?
Do you think I look 40?
Uh...
Sorry. What were you saying?
Well, you know what I do know?
Joeys don't last long without their mums.
So, you must be doing something special.
Thank you, Rosie.
I'm 35, by the way.
I'll take her up to Ti Tree
when my car is fixed
and then I'm on my way.
They'll look after her at Ti Tree.
Hmm.
Three weeks? Three?!
You said one week.
Well, your distributor cap...
Doesn't just disappear. Did
you report it to the police?
Report what?
Oh, old mate's distributor
cap's gone walkabout.
Stolen is more like it.
Great! You'll be here for the boat races.
- Oh!
- Yeah!
Yeah, fantastic. Yeah.
I'll just wait here a while longer
and watch the cast of 'Deliverance'
race boats through the middle of the desert
while my career goes down the toilet.
Well, for your information,
um, there's actually no water.
Yeah, well, except for when the rains come.
But then they have the camel race.
Yeah, see, the boats,
they don't really float.
I don't care, Dave.
I'm sorry
about the 'Deliverance' thing.
It's a good movie, that one.
You know, the bit with the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Here, here!
- Tackle him!
- Here!
- Go!
- Pass, pass, pass!
And in conclusion,
the fall of the Roman Empire
was less a fall
than a gradual slide into decentralisation.
The end.
Sweet. Thanks, Murray.
No worries. Next?
Ah, Staci. What have we got this week?
Macbeth - victim or villain?
Ah, piece of cake!
Secret lives of the witches.
"Double, double, toil and trouble..."
That's when the trouble
started for Macbeth.
The witches represent the corruption
that comes with power.
When Macbeth is first told he will be king,
he's both fascinated and repulsed.
You can come sit with us.
Really?
Yep.
Uh...
Joel Warberton.
Leave a message.
Hey, kid. Lend us your phone?
Why?
Because... I'm famous?
What have you been on?
- The weather.
- That's it?
And a dental floss commercial.
Ha! Forget it.
OK.
- 10 bucks.
- 20.
- 15.
- 20.
Fine.
That commercial was on
in Brazil, by the way.
Whatever.
Charlie!
- Hello?
- Joel!
So good to hear your voice, mate.
No, no. Charlie, Charlie,
I can't. I can't...
Hello? Hello? Who is this?
Joel, are you still there?
Chris. Hey!
Yeah, I've been trying to call you.
I'm still waiting on the car.
Uh, reckon it could be a couple of weeks.
But then we can dive into
the show. What do you reckon?
Look, we're super pumped
to get this thing moving, but, um...
there's lots of moving pieces.
Why don't you just stay put for now?
Yeah. Sure.
And once the car's fixed,
we'll see you over here.
Yeah. That sounds...
You're still here, then?
Thought you'd be getting your bum waxed.
Probably too busy handing out autographs.
Sorry, I've just gotta... Hello?
Hey, Liz. I, uh...
Chris? Whose phone are you on?
Where are you?
Thought you'd be in Broome by now.
Nope. Still here.
So go home, pretty boy!
And they hate me.
Oh, come on, Liz! A bit of dignity.
Sorry, are you talking to me?
You wouldn't believe
who I'm talking to.
Listen, what can you tell me
about Warberton Entertainment?
Oh, you didn't tell me it was him.
He's always trying to get
something off the ground
and that's where they stay.
Please, Liz.
I need my job back.
- Ch... Chris...
- Liz.
I don't know what else to do.
Please, Liz.
Uh...
I can't help you, Chris. I'm... I'm sorry.
I gotta go. Good luck, Chris.
Hey, that's another 20 bucks.
Phone?
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
What are you doing here?
I brought you some food.
Ow!
What'd you do that for?
Come on.
There's something you've gotta see.
Welcome to country.
I thought it would cheer you up.
Look over there. That's
where the pathways cross.
Pathways?
The ones they follow.
Kinda like a kangaroo highway.
That one goes all the way back
west to my dad's country.
He loved kangaroos too.
Reckoned he was one.
Liked to jump, did he?
I'm sorry. You might have
meant something spiritual.
He did like to jump.
Dad used to say we're lucky,
'cause we've got two tribes -
our people and kangaroos.
But I'm starting to forget
what he looked like.
Anyways,
this is a cool place to come
if you're feeling like crap.
Charlie.
Charlie, where are you going?
I'll just be a sec.
I've got a surprise for you.
Their names are Lucky and Skip.
Your tribe's growing too, Chris.
No, Charlie. No can do.
Now that you've gotta wait
for your distributor cap...
Charlie, I know you stole
my distributor cap.
So what if I did?
It's not like you've got
anywhere else to be.
When it's time,
we'll bring them back to
country, where they belong,
with all the other roos.
He's still your mum.
Right?
How did this happen?
Weatherman to kangaroo mother.
You're gonna need a pouch.
Of course I am.
- Now that one?
- Too small.
Hmm!
Feel like spewing!
Hmm!
And...
it comes with accessories!
Just the pouch, I think.
And do you have anything
a little more, you know...
blokey?
You said just shampoo.
Yeah, but they get burrs and stuff.
Just saying, this is a lot of money
to spend on a little bit of fur.
And how many shampoos
and creams do you have?
That's different - I'm a public figure.
He also has bum cream.
I don't... I don't... don't have bum cream.
It's called Booty Balm.
- OK, can I just...
- Mm-hm!
Thank you.
Can I get a selfie?
Yeah, sure. I didn't know you were a fan.
Nah, it's my nan's birthday.
This will crack her up.
Look, Chris. It's a sign.
Yeah, I know. I'm reading it.
And it's not like you've got
anything else better to do.
Apart from babysit three roos.
- Hold these.
- Why? What are you doing?
Charlie, what are you...
Charlie?
He has nothing, poor thing.
But he's a weatherman!
Who could never predict the weather.
No friends, no life.
He needs this job.
He begged me.
They practically begged me.
I know a con when I see one, Charlie.
Begged!
Have you ever driven a bus?
No.
Do you know anything about the local area?
No.
So what makes you think
you're the right person for the job?
I have no life and I'm completely broke.
Welcome aboard.
Just one question.
Mm?
What happened to the last driver?
He, uh...
ran off with some bloke's wife.
- Didn't he, Ralph?
- Yeah.
Real shame job that one, hey?
So nothing horrible, though?
Nah.
Uh... werte.
Um...
'Hello' in Arrernte,
as we drive along this beautiful country,
Arrernte country.
And it's our job to protect
our places of significance
from all you crazy whitefellas.
Yeah, just joking.
What's that man doing?
Oh, no.
Ohh!
Looks like he caught a roo.
Hey, hey, you wait here.
I mean it.
- What's going on here, mate?
- Huh?
What does it look like?
Stupid roo got itself tangled
in my dingo trap.
Yeah, well, I got a busload of tourists
and some of them are kids, so maybe...
Rack off, will you?
'Cause I'm actually doing something.
Look, I've got him, OK?
There's no chance I'm letting him go.
Roo meat's worth good money, mate.
No, that's not happening.
Alright.
I said, rack off.
What, are you crazy?
What do you think you're doing?
Let me go, you mad dog! It's just a roo!
I didn't finish the job back there...
because there were kids watching.
So you get out of here. Now.
While you still got your balls.
Yeah, you'll keep, weatherman.
Watch your back.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You're right. I've got you.
Let's get you somewhere safe, mate.
Told you he was the one.
Well, his leg isn't broken. He'll be fine.
He just needs a few weeks of TLC.
You'll barely notice he's here.
Seriously, though,
there's not many blokes who
would stick their necks out
for these guys.
What do you reckon, eh?
Your new big brother.
Roger.
His name's Roger.
Hello, Roger.
Think it might be time for a bigger fence.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Hey, guys.
They're just curious.
We just wanted to check if he's OK.
He'll be right. You don't need to worry.
OK. Let's go.
You better be careful, eh?
You might make some new friends.
Just give it a little twist. Professional.
There you go, look at that.
Looks great! That'll do it.
What are you doing here?
Oh, I heard there was a roo
that hates you more than me.
- That's funny.
- Yeah.
You sure you can handle this one, mate?
He looks a bit punchy.
He's just scared.
Just giving you some brekkie.
Slow movements, Chris. Take it easy.
Five bucks says the roo guts him.
That's illegal gambling.
- Make it 10.
- Yeah?
OK, yeah. Come on.
Here you go.
Argh!
- Oh!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look behind you!
- Ooh!
- Damn!
Oh!
Ooh, that's gonna hurt.
Stay down. Just stay down.
- Can you get up?
- Are you OK, Chris?
- Hit him, Roger!
- Hey, Rog. I'm good.
- Come on!
- Duck and weave.
Come on, Roger!
- Yeah, that's right.
- There's your chance.
Go, Rog! Go, Roger!
Duck and weave, Chris.
Hey, he's not bad.
We need another man on the boat team.
You reckon he's quick enough?
What do you reckon, Charlie? Hey?
Not bad for an old man. Don't
need a hand with this, eh? Eh?
Come on, mate. Stick
and move. Stick and move!
- Should've put a bet on me.
- Duck and weave, Chris!
Come on, Roger, show him who's boss!
Come on. Hey!
Whoa!
Saw that coming.
Oh. Whoops.
You right, mate?
Um...
Chris, you...
We were thinking maybe
you should join our team
for the boat races, yeah?
I can't feel my body.
That's a maybe?
Here.
Yeah, thanks for the money, Chris.
Ah.
I was once a great beauty.
Liz?
Where'd she get this?
You're very photogenic.
Listen, I get it.
You're young, your body's a machine
and I'm a little bit past my prime.
I'm not afraid to admit that.
But can you please stop making
me look so weak all the time?
Hey, Chris.
I was just talking to Roger.
- Does that sound weird?
- Have you met my daughter?
Right.
Any chance you know where she is?
A dusk run.
Oh.
It was Charlie and her dad's thing.
You know, the kangaroos.
Before he got sick.
I guess she thinks
that if she can get close enough to them...
she might get the answers
she's searching for,
like, that somehow he's still...
Do you want a glass of pinot?
I've got paperwork.
So maybe stay for spaghetti bolognaise?
- I gotta get on top of...
- I'm a great listener.
And I think that's because...
everything 'cause I feel overwhelmed.
nobody really cares what I think.
I bloody miss him.
I'm so angry.
And I've got this kid
that needs me to keep it together, but...
Everyone tells me that I'm so strong,
and I feel like that I'm falling apart.
It's really...
very good pasta.
You know everyone's pretty impressed
by what you did for Roger.
Especially Dad.
He reckons you doubled the tourist trade.
And you make a good feed.
I won 'Celebrity MasterChef', Rosie.
How could you not know that?
I'm sorry for what I said in the car.
About you murdering that dolphin.
She showed me the clip.
Charlie loved that
you didn't give up on it.
She really looks up to you, you know?
- Crikey.
- Yeah, I know.
And you come with good references.
Eh?
Yes!
Welcome to the Silver Gum Boat Race,
the driest and dustiest
boat race in the world!
And look at these beautiful big boats!
Four boats, four teams.
Our biggest turnout yet.
- OK?
- Come on.
OK, sailors, launch your boats!
Here we go.
- Giddy-up.
- Come on, everyone.
And they're off!
Gastric Gourmet starts well.
Left, right! Left, right!
Faster!
Go! Go! Go!
- We got this! We got this!
- We got this!
More gas into it, Gourmet.
More gas into it!
Go, Mum!
Arr! Arr! Arr! Arr!
Turn it right up!
And the Silver Angels are in last place.
Go, my Gwennie! Go!
But it's still anyone's race.
The Gourmets need to get
a new burst of energy.
Look what's up with
starboard! Look starboard!
Oh, Full Throttle! Full Throttle!
Here comes the Throttle.
Chris is a man on a mission.
- In your face, losers!
- Keep going!
Gas it up, Gourmets!
- Gas it up, Gourmets!
- OK, let's go!
Go, Nan!
Come on, come on, come on!
Come on! Keep going, fellas.
- Roo crossing!
- What?
We're out in front! We're...
What the...
- Huh?
- Come on, let's go!
- Let's go, girls! Let's go!
- Keep going!
Aww!
Look at that. Hey.
- Ohh!
- Oh, bless. Beautiful.
- Faster!
- Come on!
- Keep going!
- Let's go!
Go!
Oh, we've done it!
Nice one, Brenda!
I don't believe it.
The Silver Angels win!
This is the first time
in boat-racing history
the Angels have taken out
the Sue and Kevin Fletcher
Memorial Teaspoon!
You little beauties!
Congratulations.
Good work. Good work, Angels!
Sorry, guys. I tried my best.
No, it's all good, mate.
You started. We're winning!
Bet that was the first time
anyone in this town
has slowed down for a roo.
- You did good.
- Come on, everyone.
- Back to my place.
- You too.
- Come on!
- I want a party pie.
Alright, first round's on me!
Goodnight, everyone.
As Murray would say,
parting is such sweet sorrow.
Goodnight.
So good.
Yee-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Yeah!
Put roo back on the menu, Jesse!
Let's get it, boys!
Come on! Come on!
Oh, check it out, boys!
He's made a little home for 'em!
Hey, watch the rock!
Where's Lucky?
Check it, boys!
Where's Lucky?
Lucky. Hey, hey, hey.
Yoo!
- There he is!
- Roger, get back!
There's our roo!
Back!
Ah! What's wrong, eh?
Not so tough now, are you, weatherman?
What do you want?
What I want is that roo meat
that you stole from me.
Over my dead body.
Yeah, fine by me, mate.
Hold him.
Oh, look, here's one of those little ones!
He's just in time for Bluey's tucker.
Let out the dogs!
Don't you go near him.
Leave him alone!
Hey!
Bugger off, Trap. Take your
little Mini-Mes with you.
Oh, come on, Jesse!
We're having a laugh with him.
Oh, yeah, I'm having a little laugh too.
Do you need this tyre?
Yeah. Leave the car alone.
OK. So bugger off.
You come near this place again,
I'll put rat poison in your beer.
Oh, we're going!
- We're going.
- Have a good night.
Oh, relax! Far out, Jesse.
What's the matter with you?
Just having a laugh with him.
I think your little one needs you.
Hey, hey.
Yeah, so I came out here
on an Outback Safari food tour
and I haven't left.
Because you found people who liked you?
No.
I like me.
I'm glad someone does.
Very good.
And on that note, I will say goodnight.
You should probably ice that arm.
Oh, wait, you don't have any ice.
Hey, Jesse...
Yeah, I know.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, hey. Whoa. Whoa! OK.
You're getting slow in your old age.
Ow!
Look out, Chris!
G'day, Rubes.
How you doin' there?
Look! Look!
Isn't she getting big?
Fish and chips.
You gonna eat that?
You're not gonna eat that.
- Hey, Chrisso!
- Hey, Dave.
- Hey, Chris!
- You're not gonna eat that.
I am going to eat that.
Hey, Chris.
Look what I've got for you.
Oh!
Great!
Ah, in your face, marsupial!
Dingo.
No.
We hop away. Like this.
We hop, we hop, hop away.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, get it off.
Warren, Warren.
That's funny.
Oh, there's some things
you just can't unsee.
Separation anxiety.
"It is a far, far better thing that I do
"than I have ever done.
"It is a far, far better rest that I go to
"than I have ever known."
And just pull the little slip
over their head.
Watch their feet.
And then the bottom bit...
- There she is.
- Oh!
And now pull this bit back.
'Night, guys.
'Night, Lizzy.
'Night, Roger!
Your dad was amazing.
Yeah.
He painted this one for me.
We are the kangaroos.
Right.
Sorry, what does that mean?
The kangaroos are special to us.
Our totems.
That's why he painted them.
And how we're connected all the way back.
Ah!
I get it. Wow!
That's beautiful.
- Beautifuller.
- Mm-hm. Brighter.
- Bluer.
- Bulgier.
Burpingly beautifuller.
You ready to do this?
Yeah?
Let's go show Roger
how burpingly beautiful the world is, huh?
Can I come too?
You're not gonna cry, are you?
Over a roo? As if!
I know we've had our differences,
but it's hard to say goodbye, and, uh...
I'm sorry.
So, I, uh...
I just wanted to say...
that I love you, big guy.
And if you ever want to vis...
Oh! Ohh!
I'll go down with Roger.
Just one gesture.
Just... one little acknowledgement.
That's all I wanted.
He's home.
Can I help you?
I certainly hope so.
Liz?
G'day, stranger.
This is, uh, Liz.
She used to be my boss.
So... this is the famous shed.
It's very cute.
It's kind of like a little cubbyhouse.
So who's this little one, then?
Liz.
Charlie, can you, um, make sure
the other joeys have their dinner, please?
Now? Thank you.
- Liz?
- Yeah. That was a mistake.
Oh, I'll try not to take it personally.
Liz, meet Liz.
OK. OK, um...
Hi!
Hi there.
Here you are.
Thanks, Jesse.
Are you open for dinner tonight?
Absolutely, Liz.
And might I recommend
the grilled barramundi
with wild rice pilaf
and steamed baby bok choy.
Could I get you some
sparkling water for your room?
Oh, tap water's fine.
Oh, tap water.
Amazing service!
Let's take a walk.
There's been a shift.
OK.
What, with everything that's going on here,
the public, they don't want revenge.
They want redemption.
And you've gone viral, Chris,
and they love you.
Look at this!
I had no idea it had gotten so big.
Roger.
Chris, you've been offered a job.
It's a fantastic opportunity.
It's Friday night. It's a prime-time slot.
They want me to fly down
and do segments about pet kangaroos?
No, Chris, they want you to host.
Your very own show.
Welcome back.
They want me to host?
It's what you've always wanted.
I...
Hey, Charlie!
Why don't you come down?
You can come up.
I reckon you'll be going back
to Sydney now.
Maybe.
Maybe means yes.
No. It means maybe.
What about the joeys?
Well, maybe this is good timing, Charlie.
The shed's packed.
We can take them to that Ti Tree place.
You are leaving!
I haven't made any decisions yet.
Yes, you have! I can tell!
Charlie! Come on, it's getting late.
You can't send them away.
You saved them.
That's what you do.
You save animals.
I've got an opportunity that
I've always wanted, Charlie.
What you did for that dolphin...
No, I didn't...
was amazing and you can't leave.
I didn't do it for the dolphin, Charlie.
I did it for me.
To stand out.
To be noticed.
Us mob don't care about stuff like that.
We just want to belong.
Then why are you always running away
from people who care about you, Charlie?
No, Charlie...
Wait. Charlie!
Ooh! Ahh!
Charlie!
Ugh!
- Where's she going?
- Charlie!
- Is she OK?
- Charlie!
Good one, mate.
Come on, Rosie.
I was never gonna be here long.
You know I'll do everything I
can to keep these joeys safe.
It's not just about the roos, Chris.
And you know it.
Why do all our bus drivers
turn out to be duds?
Charlie! Charlie?
Charlie...
Hey, Charlie.
What do you need?
I'm not gonna let
Chris take them away.
I'm taking them back to their mob.
Yes! We're in.
Hey.
Why are you helping me?
I'm not. I'm helping them.
Thank you.
Just make sure you come back.
We need a good midfielder.
See ya!
Are you sure you know how to drive?
Of course! Kinda.
- 'Bye!
- See ya!
We're gonna get in so much trouble.
Tomorrow, once I fill up
the tank, I'll be on my way.
The network's taking care of your airfare.
Do you think they know?
Don't know. Do they always
look at you like that?
No.
I mean, Jesse did.
Does.
Guys.
Oh, sorry, we've, um, just reinstated
the 'no boofheads' policy.
So... see ya.
I thought you'd be glad
to see the back of me.
Et tu, Brute.
I am.
It's the roos that I'm worried about.
You didn't want a bar of the kangaroos.
The little ones have just
started to settle in.
Seems a shame to send them up to Ti Tree.
I've been teaching Liz how to shake hands
in case they ever do a remake of 'Skippy'.
And for your information,
your car was ready two weeks ago.
What car?
Oh.
That car.
What am I supposed to do with this?
It's a formula I invented
with vanilla bean and rosehip.
I'll just flush it down
the toilet, shall I?
That's...
weirdly nice of you.
All of you.
We're just going to miss them, is all.
They've become part of the community.
And we're off.
- Ohh!
- And he's off.
Where's he going?
- Loser.
- Boofhead.
Because someone needs to be there
in case she turns up, Mum.
Please, just wait?
I'll call you when I know more.
Anything?
I just got here.
Look. And the bus is gone.
Are we sure she's not
back at home or at the gallery?
No.
I thought you'd know where she is.
I've got no idea.
- Where are you going?
- The cops.
Well, I'll come with you.
What's it to you? You're leaving.
Oh, come on, Rosie.
That is not fair! Rosie! Rosie!
Rosie!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Anything?
- I need your car.
Can you stay here in case she comes back?
Uh, yeah.
You idiot!
Highway. I'm on the wrong highway.
Argh!
She's on kangaroo highway!
Oh! No!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
Argh!
OK.
Just remember...
stay in your vehicle.
Charlie!
Charlie!
Charlie!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Base camp, we've spotted the tour bus.
Heading over there now to see
if the girl is on site.
Thank you. Keep me posted.
Hey, Masto here.
Leave a message.
Chris, if you get this, give me a call.
No-one knows where you are.
Please? Can you just call... call me?
Thank you, thank you.
Hello? Chris? It's Nick.
Um, just so you know
that the highway patrol
have gone after Charlie.
So just... just give me a call.
And if... if you do get lost,
do not leave your car.
I repeat, do not leave your car.
OK. Thank you.
'Bye. 'Bye. 'Bye. Thank you.
Small sips.
What...
How did you find me?
I didn't.
He did.
What are you even doing out here?
What kind of idiot
wanders off on their own?
I was looking for you.
Oh.
Thought you'd be the hero?
Stand out from the crowd again?
I was looking for my friend.
Why did you run away?
If you're not gonna be here,
I want them to be with their mob.
That's where my dad is.
He said he'll always be
out there with them.
With me.
But I can never run fast enough to keep up.
So stop.
Let them come to you.
Let's go home.
You look really bad.
Like in a ruggedly handsome kind of way?
Nah. Just bad.
Can I drive the bus back?
Don't push your luck.
Hey, here they come!
There she is - Mum.
Yeah, just there.
Here she is.
Hmm?
- Charlie!
- Charlie girl!
- Come here.
- Mum! And Nan!
I told you I'd find her.
- I know, I know.
- Hey?
Next time, yeah?
Do that again, you're grounded for life.
- You did it.
- Sorry, Nan.
- Good onya.
- Ah, so good to see you.
God, I was really scared.
Don't ever do that again, OK?
Oh!
Let's have a drink, eh?
Here he is.
Hey, what about us?
We helped too.
You guys are still in trouble.
Go on, Charlie.
Yep.
- Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, guys!
- Hey, Charlie.
- Good to have you back.
- Who wants a beer?
- Me, please!
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers. Cheers, everybody.
Cheers!
- Cheers! Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Oop!
- Cheers.
Cheers.
You're not coming home, are you?
Seriously?
I thought being a host
was all you ever wanted.
You've got literally hundreds
of thousands of people
that want to see you on air.
Yeah, but...
these are the ones that count.
Hey!
Hey, Chris!
- Come on over, mate!
- Come on, Chris!
There's a beer with your name on it.
Oh, you picked a fine time to grow up!
- Alright.
- Hmm.
Whoo-hoo!
Cheers!
Good onya, mate.
Cheers!
Pick it up a bit, Freddy.
That's it, mate.
Good, Charlie.
Nice footwork, Charlie.
- Nice. Keep the ball moving.
- Here, Charlie.
Keep the ball moving.
Beautiful kick.
Whoo!
Bloody hell.
Good kick.
- Good one, Charlie.
- Alright.
Where did she learn to kick like that?
Why don't we have lunch at the shed?
Are you guys hungry?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Alright, gather up all the balls.
Good kick!
Ruby...
That feel good getting nice and dry?
What are you looking at?
Nothin'.
OK, Auntie Jesse has to go and
check the fondant potatoes.
- Thank you, Uncle Chris.
- Thank you, Auntie Jesse.
Formula here.
They're loving the new formula, Jesse.
Thanks, Ruby!
Can you open a snack?
Make sure it breathes.
- Is that the '92?
- Yes.
I won it at a perfectly legal poker game.
Do you mind checking on
the fondant potatoes?
Look for a... a chewy base and a crispy top.
Right you are, Jesse.
More donations.
One of them's come all the way
from Uzbekistan.
- Thanks, Dorinda.
- OK.
Hey, you keep your shirt on.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Gwennie.
Mwah. That looks beautiful.
Hi, guys! Come on, team.
Where's Charlie?
Where do you think?
She's out there with her mob.
Jess, you've outdone yourself.
Hey, Charlie.
Here we go.
Feast your eyes, everybody.
Is that homemade chutney?
Flown in from NZ.
Not as good as
Gwennie's, but you did good.
- Hey, Aunty, Aunty, sit here.
- Real deal.
- You're welcome.
- Look at that one scratching.
Here you go, Casper.
Hold her underneath.
One more, Charlie.
Thanks, Chris.
Hey, Dad, you gonna carve this up, or what?
Yep, I could eat a horse.
