1
00:00:44,096 --> 00:00:48,520
My name is Dale Kerrigan,
and this is my story.
2
00:00:48,592 --> 00:00:51,932
Our family lives at 3 Highview Crescent,
Coolaroo.
3
00:00:52,086 --> 00:00:54,924
Dad bought this place
15 years ago for a steal.
4
00:00:55,063 --> 00:00:58,363
As the real estate agent
said, "Location, location, location."
5
00:00:58,548 --> 00:01:00,243
And we're right next door
to the airport.
6
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:04,388
It will be very convenient
if we ever have to fly one day.
7
00:01:07,944 --> 00:01:10,520
Dad still can't work out
how he got it so cheap.
8
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:13,775
It's worth almost as much today
as when we bought it.
9
00:01:13,842 --> 00:01:16,701
Our street was going to be the heart
of a major housing development.
10
00:01:16,775 --> 00:01:18,939
But it never got up.
11
00:01:19,007 --> 00:01:22,702
They reckon the planes put people off.
Them and the power lines.
12
00:01:22,769 --> 00:01:26,073
Not Dad. He reckons power lines
are a reminder...
13
00:01:26,148 --> 00:01:28,594
of man's ability
to generate electricity.
14
00:01:28,667 --> 00:01:33,352
He's always saying
great things like that.
That's why we love him so much.
15
00:01:33,417 --> 00:01:36,472
Dad is the backbone
of the Kerrigan family.
16
00:01:36,542 --> 00:01:39,249
He made our billiard table.
17
00:01:39,316 --> 00:01:41,577
Shot, Dale.
18
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:45,524
In fact, he's built half this house.
He's always planning extensions.
19
00:01:45,596 --> 00:01:47,444
I reckon we need a patio.
20
00:01:47,509 --> 00:01:50,498
Oh, darl, how about we finish
the back room first?
21
00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:53,407
No, I'm waiting
on some cheap siding.
22
00:01:53,472 --> 00:01:55,352
I reckon we give
the patio another go.
23
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:59,144
Dad is a tow truck driver.
One of the best in the game.
24
00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:01,656
He takes great pride
in his work.
25
00:02:01,729 --> 00:02:04,338
And he comes home
with so many stories.
26
00:02:04,406 --> 00:02:06,765
You see, the car was wrapped
around the pole,
27
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:09,601
so I said, " Why not hook the chain
on the back axle?"
28
00:02:09,667 --> 00:02:11,515
See, no one
had thought of that.
29
00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:15,363
If Dad is the backbone,
Mum is the other bones. All of them.
30
00:02:15,438 --> 00:02:17,502
She keeps
the family together.
31
00:02:17,574 --> 00:02:19,954
Dad adores Mum,
and Mum adores him.
32
00:02:20,029 --> 00:02:23,312
They met at the greyhounds one night,
and it was love at first sight.
33
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:26,660
Mum just loves craft.
And she can pretty up
just about anything.
34
00:02:26,724 --> 00:02:28,572
How did you do that?
35
00:02:28,637 --> 00:02:32,517
- Spray can and stencil, darl.
That's all you need.
- You could sell that.
36
00:02:32,591 --> 00:02:34,754
Dad always reckons
Mum could open a shop,
37
00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:37,626
but she has a good part-time job
in the office at Sunbeam.
38
00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:40,267
Dad reckons Mum is
the greatest cook on Earth.
39
00:02:40,338 --> 00:02:43,077
- What do you call that, darl?
- Sponge cake.
40
00:02:43,143 --> 00:02:46,035
Beautiful. And what's
that stuff on top?
41
00:02:46,108 --> 00:02:49,326
- Icing sugar.
- How is it, kids?
42
00:02:49,392 --> 00:02:52,610
And why would you want
to go out to a restaurant...
43
00:02:52,676 --> 00:02:55,002
when this keeps coming up
night after night?
44
00:02:55,067 --> 00:02:57,230
I have two brothers
and a sister, all older than me.
45
00:02:57,299 --> 00:03:01,561
Steve is an apprentice mechanic,
but he spends most of his time
reading the Trading Post.
46
00:03:01,635 --> 00:03:03,700
He just loves
buying and trading.
47
00:03:03,771 --> 00:03:05,934
Dad, ergonomic chairs.
Four of them.
48
00:03:06,003 --> 00:03:08,199
- What does he want?
- One-eighty.
49
00:03:08,266 --> 00:03:10,114
He's dreaming.
50
00:03:10,179 --> 00:03:12,886
Him and Dad
really know bargains.
51
00:03:12,953 --> 00:03:16,617
Steve is also an ideas man.
That's why Dad calls him the ideas man.
52
00:03:16,683 --> 00:03:18,531
He has lots of ideas.
53
00:03:18,596 --> 00:03:21,846
It's a motorcycle helmet
with a built-in brake light.
54
00:03:21,912 --> 00:03:24,749
You are an ideas man, Steve.
55
00:03:24,813 --> 00:03:27,259
Dad thinks all of us
are tremendous,
56
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:29,657
but I guess it's no secret
that Tracey's his favorite.
57
00:03:29,723 --> 00:03:31,571
How do I look, Dad?
58
00:03:31,636 --> 00:03:33,569
Dad just loves her.
59
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:36,252
You look beautiful.
60
00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:37,555
Thanks, Dad.
61
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:41,989
Tracey's the only girl in the family,
apart from Mum and Gran.
62
00:03:42,062 --> 00:03:44,834
Tracey constantly
gave Dad proud moments.
63
00:03:44,899 --> 00:03:48,051
Once she was
on "The Price Is Right".
64
00:03:48,119 --> 00:03:50,977
It was such
an exciting afternoon for us.
65
00:03:51,052 --> 00:03:52,900
Swap them around.
66
00:03:52,965 --> 00:03:55,954
None of us could actually
believe it was Tracey up there
with Larry Emdier.
67
00:03:56,025 --> 00:03:59,841
$45,000 worth of prizes.
The luggage needs to be more than 640.
68
00:03:59,915 --> 00:04:03,067
It needs to be less
than 740.
69
00:04:03,135 --> 00:04:05,428
She almost won the lot.
70
00:04:07,276 --> 00:04:09,147
If only she'd known
the price of the luggage.
71
00:04:09,286 --> 00:04:11,244
I'm so sorry about that.
72
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:14,206
But she still managed to come home
with a tumble dryer and drill set.
73
00:04:14,275 --> 00:04:19,526
She is the only member of the Kerrigan
family who'd had a college education.
74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,263
Dad reckons the day she graduated
as a fully-qualified hairdresser...
75
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:25,558
was about
the proudest day of his life.
76
00:04:25,625 --> 00:04:28,429
I knew he thought
about that... a lot.
77
00:04:28,494 --> 00:04:30,820
There were only two places
he did his thinking--
78
00:04:30,886 --> 00:04:34,962
in the poolroom and out the back,
looking up at the power lines.
79
00:04:35,825 --> 00:04:38,725
Yep, Dad's a real thinker.
80
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:42,476
But the proudest day
was the day she got married
to this nice guy called Con.
81
00:04:42,541 --> 00:04:45,693
He is an accountant,
but also a fanatical kickboxer.
82
00:04:45,761 --> 00:04:48,087
Now Tracey's
taken up kickboxing too.
83
00:04:48,153 --> 00:04:50,566
Dad could not get
the smile off his face.
84
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,965
And he gave a speech
that brought the house down.
85
00:04:53,031 --> 00:04:55,890
Now, as the bride's parents,
I don't mind paying for the wedding,
86
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:58,703
but could you please stop busting
all them plates?
87
00:04:58,769 --> 00:05:01,889
That being
a Greek custom and all.
88
00:05:02,913 --> 00:05:04,848
I suppose, as a father,
89
00:05:04,923 --> 00:05:07,879
you'd like your daughter
to marry one of your own.
90
00:05:07,951 --> 00:05:11,734
And let's not beat around the bush.
The Greeks have a reputation.
91
00:05:11,809 --> 00:05:14,701
At first, the Petropoulouses
thought he was having a go at them.
92
00:05:14,774 --> 00:05:17,100
But Dad was just saying
how much he thought of Con.
93
00:05:17,165 --> 00:05:20,600
I never thought anyone
could love our Trace...
94
00:05:20,672 --> 00:05:22,770
as much as me,
Sal and the boys.
95
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,547
But there is
another person. Con.
96
00:05:27,242 --> 00:05:29,280
Smart, polite,
fit as a fiddle.
97
00:05:29,315 --> 00:05:33,509
And anyone who loves our Trace
as much as us deserves our love.
98
00:05:33,654 --> 00:05:37,452
So we love you, Con.
We love you.
99
00:05:38,528 --> 00:05:39,413
Thank you, and, uh,
100
00:05:39,482 --> 00:05:42,103
"Kalispera".
101
00:05:42,266 --> 00:05:44,041
That's "Good evening."
102
00:05:47,935 --> 00:05:51,570
We'd had many top nights,
but this was the most top.
103
00:05:52,330 --> 00:05:54,104
Pity my oldest brother
couldn't be there.
104
00:05:54,256 --> 00:05:57,016
His name's Wayne.
He's in jail.
105
00:05:57,463 --> 00:05:59,847
Eight years
for armed robbery.
106
00:06:00,086 --> 00:06:03,941
Many people call him the black sheep
of the family. But not Mum and Dad.
107
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,019
He got caught up with the wrong crowd.
He didn't mean to rob the gas station.
108
00:06:07,152 --> 00:06:11,002
Now he's sorry. With good behavior,
he'll be out in a couple of years.
109
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,074
I visit him every Friday.
110
00:06:13,557 --> 00:06:15,410
- How's Mum?
- Good.
111
00:06:17,091 --> 00:06:19,031
- How's Dad?
- Good.
112
00:06:21,235 --> 00:06:23,306
- How's Trace?
- Good.
113
00:06:26,323 --> 00:06:28,361
- How are you?
- Good.
114
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,236
- How's Dave?
- He's all right.
115
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:35,347
Good.
116
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:39,045
Even though he's the oldest
and I'm the youngest, we get on great.
117
00:06:39,182 --> 00:06:41,107
We can just chat for hours.
118
00:06:42,127 --> 00:06:44,677
Thanks for coming down.
119
00:06:44,748 --> 00:06:47,266
- You want some chewy?
- No.
120
00:06:47,337 --> 00:06:51,359
So, as you can see,
our family is very close-knit.
121
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:53,948
We also have pets.
Four greyhounds.
122
00:06:54,019 --> 00:06:55,806
Banshee,
123
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:57,628
Starflash,
124
00:06:57,696 --> 00:07:00,562
Trailblazer and Coco.
125
00:07:00,637 --> 00:07:04,082
Coco is the best,
most successful Dad has ever had.
126
00:07:04,154 --> 00:07:07,533
She picked up two firsts
in the country and a third in town.
127
00:07:07,607 --> 00:07:09,777
Dad feeds them every morning
in big bowls...
128
00:07:09,844 --> 00:07:12,330
that Steve made out
of tractor hubcaps.
129
00:07:12,403 --> 00:07:15,270
They are good dogs. Good to Dad.
And Dad is good to them.
130
00:07:15,344 --> 00:07:19,116
All of them are descended
from his first dog, Red Rocket.
131
00:07:19,181 --> 00:07:23,072
Dad never stops marveling
at the beauty of the greyhound.
132
00:07:23,145 --> 00:07:25,598
In fact, he doesn't even
race them for the money.
133
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:29,050
He reckons they are noble animals.
Skinny and sleek...
134
00:07:29,123 --> 00:07:30,977
and have a beautiful snout.
135
00:07:31,042 --> 00:07:35,162
Another thing Dad loves
is his boat. Sea Lady.
136
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:38,042
He cleans it every Saturday
with something else Steve built.
137
00:07:38,107 --> 00:07:40,080
It's a brush
with a hose in it.
138
00:07:40,153 --> 00:07:42,834
Dad never stops marveling
at Steve's ideas.
139
00:07:42,903 --> 00:07:45,137
He's a ideas man, Steve.
140
00:07:45,204 --> 00:07:47,657
Steve gave it to Dad
for Father's Day.
141
00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:51,436
That's something our family
prides itself on. Presents.
142
00:07:51,503 --> 00:07:54,086
Even though none of us
have a real lot of money,
143
00:07:54,157 --> 00:07:56,358
we love giving
each other presents.
144
00:07:56,426 --> 00:07:59,490
- He got a rod and reel from Trace.
- A rod and reel.
145
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,729
- I gave him a new muzzle.
- A muzzle.
146
00:08:01,797 --> 00:08:04,129
Wayne sent him an ashtray
he'd made in prison shop.
147
00:08:04,195 --> 00:08:06,943
An ashtray?
But I don't smoke.
148
00:08:07,009 --> 00:08:11,794
And Mum, well, Mum got him a big German
beer mug from Franklin Mint.
149
00:08:11,868 --> 00:08:15,607
Dad couldn't believe his eyes. It was
too good to even drink beer out of.
150
00:08:15,672 --> 00:08:17,525
I'd like
to do pottery.
151
00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:19,923
Oh, you should.
You'd be good at it.
152
00:08:19,989 --> 00:08:23,273
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
153
00:08:23,275 --> 00:08:25,831
All Dad's most prized possessions
are in the poolroom.
154
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,289
All his mementos and things
that remind him of something special.
155
00:08:29,381 --> 00:08:32,230
So by him saying it was going straight
to the poolroom...
156
00:08:32,297 --> 00:08:34,083
meant he thought
it was special.
157
00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:37,280
That is a collector's item.
158
00:08:37,349 --> 00:08:40,990
This has been
the best Father's Day ever.
159
00:08:41,058 --> 00:08:42,910
Of course there
were ups and downs.
160
00:08:42,976 --> 00:08:45,363
Wayne being in jail
was an example of a down.
161
00:08:45,438 --> 00:08:48,501
But, all in all,
3 Highview Crescent was a happy home.
162
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:50,479
Dad called it his castle.
163
00:08:50,585 --> 00:08:52,917
But one day in June,
164
00:08:52,983 --> 00:08:55,152
a knock at the door
was to change all that.
165
00:08:55,221 --> 00:08:57,074
- Yeah?
- Mr. Darryl Kerrigan?
166
00:08:57,139 --> 00:09:00,235
- Yeah?
- John Clifton.
I'm from the local council.
167
00:09:00,304 --> 00:09:02,157
- Is this about the dogs?
- No.
168
00:09:02,222 --> 00:09:04,075
- The aerial? The extensions?
- No.
169
00:09:04,141 --> 00:09:08,871
Look, if this is about
my truck on the nature strip,
I've had it out with you guys.
170
00:09:08,936 --> 00:09:12,446
No, I'm a valuer
with the local council.
I'm here to do a land valuation.
171
00:09:12,517 --> 00:09:15,383
- What for?
- Well, all properties
get valued from time to time.
172
00:09:15,458 --> 00:09:18,652
So, you'd be able
to give me a value on this place?
173
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,564
- That's my job.
- That'd be good.
174
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:25,106
- Do you want me
to show you around?
- If you wouldn't mind.
175
00:09:25,178 --> 00:09:28,558
Oh, not at all.
Be pleased to.
176
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:32,685
Because, between you and me,
I reckon the values around here are--
177
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:39,942
As you can see,
I've put a fair bit of work into it.
178
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:42,344
Would you like me to point out
the features as we go along?
179
00:09:42,409 --> 00:09:44,775
- If you wouldn't mind.
- You see that lace up there?
180
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,619
- Yeah?
- Fake. Plastic.
181
00:09:47,685 --> 00:09:50,999
Gives the place
a Victoriana feel.
182
00:09:51,074 --> 00:09:54,006
The chimney? Fake too.
183
00:09:54,079 --> 00:09:55,932
Why is it there?
184
00:09:55,997 --> 00:09:59,955
Charm. Adds a bit of charm.
Look at the size of that aerial.
185
00:10:00,025 --> 00:10:03,284
That's a big aerial.
What do you think? Add a bit of value?
186
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:06,162
- Hard to say. Yeah.
- Yeah.
187
00:10:06,227 --> 00:10:08,975
You can overcapitalize,
can't you?
188
00:10:09,042 --> 00:10:11,374
But it's a huge aerial.
189
00:10:16,043 --> 00:10:19,968
And this is my backyard.
190
00:10:24,163 --> 00:10:26,845
- Shuttle. From Melbourne to Sidney.
191
00:10:26,914 --> 00:10:30,227
- How close are you
to the end of the runway?
- Ah, just over the fence.
192
00:10:32,636 --> 00:10:35,481
- Is that the runway there?
- Yeah.
193
00:10:35,546 --> 00:10:38,161
- There?
- Yeah.
194
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:39,463
Beautiful machines.
195
00:10:39,773 --> 00:10:42,772
Sometimes you think
they're gonna land right on top of you.
196
00:10:43,796 --> 00:10:46,431
Freaks the dogs, though.
Greyhounds.
197
00:10:46,704 --> 00:10:48,971
Large kennel.
198
00:10:49,517 --> 00:10:52,514
Well, originally, it was a tree house
when the kids were growing up.
199
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:54,973
I was thinking of turning it
into another room.
200
00:10:55,047 --> 00:10:56,806
- But the county said no.
- Ah.
201
00:10:56,942 --> 00:11:00,717
Now, here back, all landfill.
Not allowed to build there.
202
00:11:00,878 --> 00:11:04,156
- Has the soil been tested?
- Oh, yeah.
203
00:11:04,224 --> 00:11:07,123
Nothing too serious
in there.
204
00:11:07,197 --> 00:11:10,096
What do you know
about lead?
205
00:11:13,303 --> 00:11:16,649
Oh, this is
beautiful, darl.
206
00:11:16,724 --> 00:11:19,471
- What do you call these things again?
- Meat loaf.
207
00:11:19,537 --> 00:11:21,390
Everybody cooks
meat loaf, darl.
208
00:11:21,456 --> 00:11:23,363
Yeah, but it's
what you do with them.
209
00:11:23,438 --> 00:11:26,883
Mum reckons the trick is you
don't use minced meat.
She gets topside and crushes it.
210
00:11:26,954 --> 00:11:28,862
Is that right, darl?
Well, it shows.
211
00:11:28,936 --> 00:11:31,106
She gets silverside
and she'll crush that too.
212
00:11:31,175 --> 00:11:34,271
Dad, a guy's selling
a pair of jousting sticks.
213
00:11:34,339 --> 00:11:37,021
Jousting sticks?
What does he want for them?
214
00:11:37,089 --> 00:11:40,185
- Make us an offer.
- Darl, what do you want
with jousting sticks?
215
00:11:40,255 --> 00:11:43,154
Oh, I don't know. But I reckon they
wouldn't come up all that often.
216
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:46,869
But they're jousting sticks.
What would anyone want
with jousting sticks?
217
00:11:46,935 --> 00:11:50,129
Well, if you get them
for half price, it's a bargain.
218
00:11:50,197 --> 00:11:52,051
- Give him a call?
- Yeah.
219
00:11:54,034 --> 00:11:57,642
I'll be interested to see
this fella's valuation.
220
00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:00,359
- Are you thinking
of selling, Dad?
- Oh, no, mate, no.
221
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:02,695
But it would be nice to know
what we're sitting on here.
222
00:12:02,762 --> 00:12:04,189
Clay.
223
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:06,596
No, mate.
The value of the house.
224
00:12:06,662 --> 00:12:11,481
You know, it's odd, because
Farouk reckoned he had
some bloke around as well.
225
00:12:11,554 --> 00:12:14,072
Must've been doing
the whole street.
226
00:12:14,143 --> 00:12:16,476
- Maybe the market's on the move.
- Here?
227
00:12:16,542 --> 00:12:18,611
Dad? Four-fifty.
228
00:12:18,683 --> 00:12:21,942
For jousting sticks?
Tell him he's dreaming.
229
00:12:22,009 --> 00:12:23,981
How much is a jousting stick worth,
Dad?
230
00:12:24,055 --> 00:12:26,866
Well, it couldn't be more
than 250.
231
00:12:26,932 --> 00:12:30,376
- Depending on the condition.
- When do we find out?
232
00:12:30,448 --> 00:12:34,023
Well, we should have the official notice
in a couple of weeks.
233
00:12:34,094 --> 00:12:35,979
But just quietly,
234
00:12:36,044 --> 00:12:40,350
I reckon we could be in
for a little surprise.
235
00:12:40,455 --> 00:12:43,267
Compulsorily acquired.
236
00:12:44,772 --> 00:12:47,104
Compulsorily acquired.
237
00:12:48,608 --> 00:12:51,737
You know what this means,
don't you?
238
00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:56,470
- They're acquiring it compulsorily.
- It must be a mistake.
239
00:12:56,537 --> 00:12:59,350
They're gonna take our place,
and we don't get a say in it.
240
00:12:59,415 --> 00:13:03,601
- Well, how can they do that?
- I don't know. 70,000 bucks.
241
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:05,639
Who the hell
is Air Link?
242
00:13:05,712 --> 00:13:09,669
- Dad, a guy's selling seven coolers.
- Hang on, Steve.
243
00:13:09,741 --> 00:13:11,910
What's that?
Is this about Wayne?
244
00:13:11,979 --> 00:13:14,343
No, no. Look.
245
00:13:14,409 --> 00:13:16,513
What do you make
of that?
246
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:22,559
Jesus. This is
a kick-out notice.
247
00:13:22,626 --> 00:13:26,419
I'll get it. I'll get it.
248
00:13:31,193 --> 00:13:33,678
- Ah, good day, Farouk.
- Hello, Mr. Kerrigan.
249
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:35,756
Can you read to me something,
please, I get today?
250
00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:38,161
Yeah, sure, mate,
but I'm a bit busy at the moment.
251
00:13:38,227 --> 00:13:41,072
Can I-- Can I come--
252
00:13:41,136 --> 00:13:44,679
- Shit. You got one too.
- Got what?
253
00:13:44,749 --> 00:13:48,062
What the hell
is going on?
254
00:13:48,137 --> 00:13:51,614
Jesus Christ.
Jack!
255
00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:04,406
Jack, it's Darryl, mate.
256
00:14:10,038 --> 00:14:13,385
Someone is going
to take me house, Darryl.
257
00:14:20,173 --> 00:14:24,097
- Mr. Kerrigan.
- Yeah. Yeah.
258
00:14:26,375 --> 00:14:28,380
Mr. Kerrigan--
259
00:14:28,454 --> 00:14:31,614
Darryl, this is
a compulsory acquisition.
260
00:14:31,683 --> 00:14:33,720
Yeah.
261
00:14:33,792 --> 00:14:37,138
Mr. Kerrigan,
the airport is expanding.
262
00:14:37,213 --> 00:14:39,893
They're setting up one of the largest
freight-handling facilities...
263
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:43,222
in the Southern Hemisphere,
and they need a great deal of space.
264
00:14:43,288 --> 00:14:45,674
Yeah.
265
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:50,088
And your house...
is on that space.
266
00:14:50,162 --> 00:14:52,615
Yeah. Yeah,my house.
267
00:14:52,687 --> 00:14:55,019
That's right. Your house.
268
00:14:55,085 --> 00:14:57,122
That's why
you'll be duly compensated.
269
00:14:57,195 --> 00:15:01,250
No. No, you've missed the point.
I'm not interested in compensation.
270
00:15:01,319 --> 00:15:03,521
I don't wanna go.
271
00:15:03,589 --> 00:15:05,660
Under the laws
of compulsory acquisition--
272
00:15:05,731 --> 00:15:09,241
and I don't necessarily
agree with those laws--
273
00:15:09,311 --> 00:15:11,698
I can understand
the pain and trouble--
274
00:15:11,774 --> 00:15:14,260
Would you stop pretending
to be on my side?
275
00:15:15,769 --> 00:15:18,320
All right, Mr. Kerrigan,
I'll state this simply.
276
00:15:18,392 --> 00:15:20,246
There is
an ironclad agreement...
277
00:15:20,311 --> 00:15:23,024
between federal, state
and local governments
and the Airports Commission.
278
00:15:23,091 --> 00:15:24,944
Yeah?
279
00:15:25,009 --> 00:15:29,228
Well, where's the agreement
with Darryl Kerrigan,
3 Highview Crescent, Coolaroo?
280
00:15:29,294 --> 00:15:32,673
Where'sthat agreement?
281
00:15:32,746 --> 00:15:36,834
It's not gonna happen.
282
00:16:38,862 --> 00:16:41,315
I don't know, Darryl.
This isn't my area.
283
00:16:41,387 --> 00:16:44,451
What do you mean this is not your area?
This is law.
284
00:16:44,521 --> 00:16:46,853
Darryl, the airport
wants to buy your place.
285
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:50,825
Airports come under federal law.
Federal? I just do small stuff.
286
00:16:50,898 --> 00:16:52,758
Conveyancing, magistrates.
287
00:16:52,824 --> 00:16:55,549
- You defended Wayne.
- Yeah, and he got eight years.
288
00:16:55,616 --> 00:16:58,942
Yeah, but you did your best.
I mean, you can hold your head up high.
289
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,196
He was the one that
held up the service station.
290
00:17:01,265 --> 00:17:04,242
- I don't know anything
about this sort of stuff.
- But they can't do this.
291
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:07,553
- I don't know. Maybe they can.
- They can't.
292
00:17:07,619 --> 00:17:10,563
Look, I'll ring around
and I'll see what I can find out.
293
00:17:10,636 --> 00:17:13,196
Good on you, Dennis. Eh.
294
00:17:13,269 --> 00:17:15,127
How is Wayne?
295
00:17:15,194 --> 00:17:18,914
Good. Yeah, good.
Behaving himself.
296
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:21,192
- Any word?
- Nah, nah.
297
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:24,652
They reckon he's still
a couple of years off.
298
00:17:24,724 --> 00:17:26,837
I'll let you know.
299
00:17:26,907 --> 00:17:29,305
But Dad was never one
to bring worries home.
300
00:17:30,343 --> 00:17:34,512
Even in the down times he'd still
tell us funny stories about his day.
301
00:17:34,579 --> 00:17:38,387
It's a head-on between
a Geo and a Volksy.
302
00:17:38,462 --> 00:17:42,368
Dad also had a way
of making everyone feel important.
303
00:17:42,441 --> 00:17:45,232
Come on, Dale.
Tell 'em.
304
00:17:45,298 --> 00:17:48,887
Go on. Tell 'em.
Dale dug a hole.
305
00:17:48,958 --> 00:17:51,649
- Like the time I dug a hole.
- Started the patio.
306
00:17:51,717 --> 00:17:55,372
- Good on you, Dale.
- And he'd compliment Mum every
single night on her cooking.
307
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,161
Well, hello.
How's this, boys? Whoo-hoo!
308
00:17:59,227 --> 00:18:01,624
- What do you call this?
- Chicken.
309
00:18:01,698 --> 00:18:04,839
- Yeah, but it's got something
sprinkled on it.
- Seasoning.
310
00:18:04,909 --> 00:18:06,769
Seasoning.
311
00:18:06,834 --> 00:18:09,558
Looks like everybody's
kicked a goal.
312
00:18:09,626 --> 00:18:11,486
How are our
backs feeling?
313
00:18:11,551 --> 00:18:14,595
Steve did get them
ergonometric chairs.
314
00:18:14,664 --> 00:18:17,355
And Mum had already
started prettying hers up.
315
00:18:17,425 --> 00:18:20,499
Dad placed a great deal
of importance on mealtime.
316
00:18:20,570 --> 00:18:22,430
He had
a very strict rule:
317
00:18:22,495 --> 00:18:26,786
When the family starts to eat,
the television is definitely
turned down.
318
00:18:26,861 --> 00:18:31,095
But as soon as we've finished eating,
it's a different story.
319
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,820
That was great.
320
00:18:33,889 --> 00:18:36,745
Dad, 7:30.
321
00:18:36,809 --> 00:18:39,917
All right,
time for some fun.
322
00:18:39,987 --> 00:18:43,708
Dad reckons there's only one show better
than Funniest Home Videos,
323
00:18:43,774 --> 00:18:46,532
and that's The Best
of Funniest Home Videos.
324
00:18:46,598 --> 00:18:50,253
It made Dad laugh. And when Dad laughed,
his whole body joined in.
325
00:18:50,322 --> 00:18:52,270
And then we would too.
326
00:18:52,343 --> 00:18:54,520
Gong 'im, Red!
327
00:18:54,588 --> 00:18:59,076
It was funny how on the fun nights,
part of me got sad,
328
00:18:59,146 --> 00:19:02,352
'cause I'd think about
my big brother in prison
and wonder what he was doing.
329
00:19:03,864 --> 00:19:06,260
Wayne always reckoned
he was doing fine,
330
00:19:06,337 --> 00:19:10,539
but I get the feeling
he was missing us more
than he was letting on.
331
00:19:10,604 --> 00:19:13,165
It'll be great
when he comes home.
332
00:19:20,617 --> 00:19:22,730
You're a ripper, Dennis.
333
00:19:22,801 --> 00:19:27,035
I said you're
a bloody ripper!
334
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:30,493
Yeah, okay.
335
00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:34,604
- That's it, Sal. All fixed.
- What did he say?
336
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:39,357
He said I have recourse
to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
337
00:19:39,426 --> 00:19:42,751
All I gotta do is run
up there, put my case,
and they can go and get stuffed.
338
00:19:42,828 --> 00:19:44,688
Good on you, darl.
339
00:19:44,753 --> 00:19:47,511
- He still hasn't noticed, Mum.
- What?
340
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:51,297
- Oh, it's finished.
- Today.
341
00:19:51,365 --> 00:19:54,373
How is that?
You should open a shop.
342
00:19:54,444 --> 00:19:58,133
Dad, some guy's selling
an overhead projector.
343
00:19:58,201 --> 00:20:00,061
Nah--
344
00:20:00,126 --> 00:20:02,949
Nah, hang on, Steve.
What's he asking?
345
00:20:03,014 --> 00:20:06,319
- One-fifty.
- Tell him he's dreaming.
346
00:20:06,384 --> 00:20:09,623
- Yeah.
- So what else
did Dennis have to say?
347
00:20:09,689 --> 00:20:12,599
- Nothing. It's fixed.
- Yeah, but when's the hearing?
348
00:20:12,675 --> 00:20:15,171
Monday. And I know exactly
what I'm gonna say.
349
00:20:15,242 --> 00:20:18,700
- Don't babble on, darl.
- I don't babble on.
When do I babble on?
350
00:20:18,773 --> 00:20:21,497
- You do babble on.
- All right.
351
00:20:21,565 --> 00:20:24,387
But I tell you
what we're gonna do.
352
00:20:24,453 --> 00:20:27,080
Friday we're gonna
pick up Trace and Con,
353
00:20:27,149 --> 00:20:31,154
and then we're going straight up
to Bonnie Doon for the weekend.
354
00:20:31,225 --> 00:20:35,394
And we're not worrying about
those clowns for another second.
355
00:20:35,462 --> 00:20:39,248
- Mum! Price is Right'son.
- All right, eh.
356
00:20:39,313 --> 00:20:43,099
I'd better ring up Farouk and Jack
and Evonne and the others...
357
00:20:43,165 --> 00:20:46,207
and tell 'em
what's going on.
358
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:55,999
Trace and Con had
a great honeymoon in Thailand.
359
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:58,889
We met them as they came off
the plane with a baggage cart,
360
00:20:58,954 --> 00:21:01,777
which was lucky 'cause
they had heaps of stuff.
361
00:21:03,768 --> 00:21:06,974
We couldn't wait to hear all
the stories about their trip,
362
00:21:07,042 --> 00:21:09,384
and we didn't have
to wait all that long either.
363
00:21:09,450 --> 00:21:12,174
'Cause one of the good things
about living next to the airport...
364
00:21:12,241 --> 00:21:14,582
is that it doesn't
take long to walk home.
365
00:21:24,823 --> 00:21:27,996
And they had these masks
which you put over your eyes
when you're sleeping...
366
00:21:28,064 --> 00:21:29,924
so that you can't
see anything.
367
00:21:29,989 --> 00:21:32,330
- And they were complimentary.
- Yeah, they were for free.
368
00:21:32,397 --> 00:21:34,376
It was the first time
anyone in our family...
369
00:21:34,451 --> 00:21:36,311
had traveled
outside the county.
370
00:21:36,377 --> 00:21:38,554
And we just sat glued
listening to all the details.
371
00:21:38,623 --> 00:21:41,248
Oh, Mum, we had a choice between fish
and Beef Wellington.
372
00:21:41,318 --> 00:21:44,010
- Beef Wellington?
- What's that, darl?
373
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,289
It's beef
done in pastry.
374
00:21:46,357 --> 00:21:48,885
And it was an absolute
credit to the airline.
375
00:21:48,957 --> 00:21:50,818
- Did they show a film?
- Two.
376
00:21:50,884 --> 00:21:52,744
- Two?
- Yeah.
377
00:21:52,809 --> 00:21:54,855
- And they also had--
- What were they?
378
00:21:54,927 --> 00:21:57,936
- We saw Twister. And they had--
- Was it on a screen or a telly?
379
00:21:58,007 --> 00:22:01,913
Telly. And they had
easy listening, classic gold,
contemporary rock, world--
380
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:04,165
What was the other one,
the other film?
381
00:22:04,234 --> 00:22:06,575
- Uh,Juman-- Jumanji, yeah.
-Jumanji.
382
00:22:06,791 --> 00:22:09,559
- And with the headphones--
- Which one was first?
383
00:22:09,624 --> 00:22:11,946
- Twister. You could
turn the sound all--
- How many on the way back?
384
00:22:12,012 --> 00:22:14,813
- Dale! You can ask all this later.
- Sorry, Trace.
385
00:22:14,878 --> 00:22:17,895
It was so dry in the plane
that your hair actually dehydrates.
386
00:22:17,966 --> 00:22:21,839
- Doesn't it, Con?
- It loses its moisture.
- It's so interesting.
387
00:22:21,914 --> 00:22:23,489
We could have
listened for hours,
388
00:22:24,067 --> 00:22:25,728
but then it
was presents time.
389
00:22:26,001 --> 00:22:28,889
For you, Dad. It's a samurai sword
letter opener.
390
00:22:28,963 --> 00:22:30,992
That is handcrafted.
391
00:22:31,064 --> 00:22:34,592
How's that, love?
That is just--
392
00:22:34,660 --> 00:22:37,038
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
393
00:22:37,112 --> 00:22:39,305
You should use it, Dad.
394
00:22:39,374 --> 00:22:42,325
This I am not even taking
out of the wrapper.
395
00:22:42,398 --> 00:22:46,847
They bought Mum a genuine Rolex
for 15 bucks off a guy at the beach.
396
00:22:46,919 --> 00:22:49,047
He said he'd mail
the warranty later.
397
00:22:49,115 --> 00:22:53,218
I got a necklace with a shark tooth.
They got a Walkman for Steve.
398
00:22:53,286 --> 00:22:56,565
'Cause it was Friday,
I told Trace I'd take
Wayne's present to him.
399
00:22:56,629 --> 00:22:59,580
It was an elephant,
'cause elephants bring good luck,
400
00:22:59,653 --> 00:23:02,257
especially if the trunks are up,
and his trunk was up.
401
00:23:03,283 --> 00:23:06,018
It really made Wayne's day.
402
00:23:06,084 --> 00:23:08,819
- She's great, isn't she? Trace.
- Yeah.
403
00:23:08,885 --> 00:23:12,184
It brings good luck.
She's coming in on Monday.
404
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:14,833
Great. And when's Dad going in
to do that hearing?
405
00:23:14,903 --> 00:23:16,749
- On Monday.
- Yeah?
406
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:21,198
- Yeah. He reckons they can't do it.
- Dad would know.
407
00:23:21,271 --> 00:23:25,340
- You going up to
Bonnie Doon tonight?
- Yeah. Maybe. I don't know.
408
00:23:25,409 --> 00:23:28,589
I didn't want to tell Wayne
that we were going to Bonnie Doon,
409
00:23:28,655 --> 00:23:31,456
just in case he'd feel bad
that we were going to Bonnie Doon.
410
00:23:31,521 --> 00:23:35,069
He liked it there.
We all liked it there.
411
00:23:35,204 --> 00:23:38,013
We're going to Bonnie Doon
412
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:40,967
We all left soon after,
except for Trace and Con.
413
00:23:41,041 --> 00:23:44,502
As you can just imagine,
they were just married and
wanted some time to themselves.
414
00:23:44,574 --> 00:23:46,734
So they drove up
in their own car.
415
00:23:46,803 --> 00:23:49,537
Dad had a song he used to sing
about going to Bonnie Doon.
416
00:23:49,604 --> 00:23:52,556
Only he sang it a lot,
and it was a bit repetitive.
417
00:23:52,628 --> 00:23:54,473
Darl!
418
00:24:00,184 --> 00:24:02,821
- Dad, radar!
419
00:24:09,873 --> 00:24:12,205
- How much did that cost?
- Seventy bucks.
420
00:24:12,337 --> 00:24:14,651
Just paid for itself.
421
00:24:16,529 --> 00:24:19,069
Dale, why don't you
unload the boat, Mate?
422
00:24:19,221 --> 00:24:22,139
Steve, don't forget
the dog food, pal.
423
00:24:26,566 --> 00:24:29,963
Hey, boy. Hey!
424
00:24:30,036 --> 00:24:34,552
- Bloody marvelous to be
up here, isn't it, Dale?
- Yeah.
425
00:24:34,619 --> 00:24:37,583
- Bonnie Doon.
- Dad loved Bonnie Doon.
426
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,852
How do I describe it?
427
00:24:39,063 --> 00:24:41,256
It is a little town
on a big lake.
428
00:24:41,324 --> 00:24:45,840
It's a beautiful place,
especially this time of year
when the water levels are down.
429
00:24:45,909 --> 00:24:48,481
Dad could not believe his luck
when he found this place.
430
00:24:48,551 --> 00:24:50,875
It was a bargain,
and he couldn't work out why.
431
00:24:50,939 --> 00:24:53,826
It was just a block of land
with a beautiful view.
432
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,570
It took him five years
to build this place.
433
00:24:56,638 --> 00:24:59,210
He bought an unfinished kit home
out of the Trading Post,
434
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,579
built it in the backyard
and towed it up here with his truck.
435
00:25:02,655 --> 00:25:04,977
He was the only bloke
he knew with a holiday home.
436
00:25:05,043 --> 00:25:07,105
Not a mobile home,
a holiday home.
437
00:25:07,175 --> 00:25:09,650
And he reckoned we were
the luckiest family in the world.
438
00:25:09,722 --> 00:25:14,248
- Dale, I reckon we're the luckiest
family in the world. - Yeah.
439
00:25:14,249 --> 00:25:15,291
He loved the serenity of the place.
440
00:25:15,357 --> 00:25:17,296
How's the serenity?
441
00:25:17,435 --> 00:25:19,544
I think he also just loved the word.
442
00:25:19,673 --> 00:25:21,797
So much serenity.
443
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:27,199
Let's get to bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day.
444
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:27,931
Yeah.
445
00:25:31,166 --> 00:25:33,609
If there's one thing
Dad loved more than serenity,
446
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,156
it was an outboard motor
on full throttle.
447
00:25:42,944 --> 00:25:46,343
Listen to that!
Singing like a bird!
448
00:25:46,414 --> 00:25:49,684
He just loved Bonnie Doon,
and he reckoned the faster you went,
449
00:25:49,684 --> 00:25:50,918
the more you saw of it.
450
00:25:50,975 --> 00:25:51,919
Look at that!
451
00:25:52,487 --> 00:25:55,538
- What?
- Back there.
452
00:25:55,539 --> 00:25:59,616
But eventually he found a place
he reckoned looked like a good spot.
453
00:25:59,617 --> 00:26:02,006
I reckon this looks like a good spot.
454
00:26:03,069 --> 00:26:06,047
Dad loved fishing. And he really
looked after his equipment.
455
00:26:06,460 --> 00:26:10,021
He said they only made on good rod,
it's called the 'ugly stick'.
456
00:26:10,166 --> 00:26:14,285
It's so strong, you can bend it
right around on itself.
457
00:26:14,286 --> 00:26:17,584
Look at that.
Bends right around itself.
458
00:26:18,988 --> 00:26:21,636
The lake had trout,
redfin and carp.
459
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:24,575
The carp was not a good eating fish,
but it was good catching.
460
00:26:24,575 --> 00:26:26,484
They could grow
to quite a size.
461
00:26:26,485 --> 00:26:29,860
Genuinely, that just hooked himself.
But occasionally Dad went crafty.
462
00:26:31,462 --> 00:26:32,662
- Got a nibble.
463
00:26:33,032 --> 00:26:37,100
Dad reckoned that fishing
was 10 percent brains
and 95 percent muscle...
464
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:39,340
and the rest
was just good luck.
465
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:45,996
We pulled off a few carp that day.
And each of us had a muscle ache.
466
00:26:50,295 --> 00:26:52,496
- Where's Con?
- Down the shops.
467
00:26:52,996 --> 00:26:54,609
You and Con talked about kids, yet?
468
00:26:55,311 --> 00:26:57,531
Yeah, Con wants to start
straight away.
469
00:26:57,532 --> 00:26:59,153
But, you know,
I've got a career.
470
00:26:59,154 --> 00:27:00,343
Of course.
471
00:27:00,344 --> 00:27:03,005
So, I said I'm not having kids
until I'm at least 23.
472
00:27:03,006 --> 00:27:04,868
Times have changed.
473
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:21,235
- Gale had a boy.
- Was he a whopper?
474
00:27:21,236 --> 00:27:24,233
10 pounds. They got to be
a big beefy family.
475
00:27:24,234 --> 00:27:28,472
Tyler Jake. Even the birth notice
was beef. Stork and everything.
476
00:27:28,473 --> 00:27:30,891
Shannon was 9 pounds.
Would you mind then?
477
00:27:30,892 --> 00:27:33,720
Uh, I needed a pair of booties.
You always liked booties.
478
00:27:34,306 --> 00:27:36,891
- I reckon you should make
faked flowers. - Uh, yeah.
479
00:27:37,145 --> 00:27:38,939
- Jenny makes fake flowers.
- Jenny?
480
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:40,159
- Yeah.
- Jenny Jenny?
481
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,317
No, Malcoway Jenny. She reckons
the trick is to make 'em real
482
00:27:42,318 --> 00:27:45,208
but not too real. Just real enough
to know that they're fake.
483
00:27:46,082 --> 00:27:48,856
- I'd like to do pottery.
- Wow, on a wheel?
484
00:27:48,860 --> 00:27:51,363
Yeah. I just love mugs.
485
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,946
Yeah, I'd like
to make my own mugs.
486
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:56,676
- Mum?
- Yeah?
487
00:27:56,925 --> 00:27:58,237
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
488
00:27:59,272 --> 00:28:00,432
- You worried about the house?
- No.
489
00:28:00,499 --> 00:28:05,099
- Well, Dad said everything's
going to be okay.
- Of course it is, darl.
490
00:28:10,584 --> 00:28:13,680
We ended up
with four carp and one redfin.
491
00:28:13,749 --> 00:28:18,185
A reasonable day's fishing,
considering we had to get back
earlier when Coco got seasick.
492
00:28:18,258 --> 00:28:20,808
Steve wasn't looking
all that good either.
493
00:28:25,707 --> 00:28:28,519
Keep it still, Trace.
494
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:32,163
Disciplined,
isn't he, Sal?
495
00:28:34,339 --> 00:28:38,111
Here are you and I relaxing,
having a beer, and he's still training.
496
00:28:38,176 --> 00:28:40,563
Yeah, he just loves
that sport.
497
00:28:40,637 --> 00:28:44,147
- Well, you gotta have
a passion for something.
- Yeah.
498
00:28:46,966 --> 00:28:50,063
Ours is serenity.
499
00:28:52,466 --> 00:28:55,812
Dad, where do you want me to put
the chicken coop?
500
00:28:55,887 --> 00:28:58,307
Out the back, Steve.
501
00:29:00,684 --> 00:29:04,128
Forty-five bucks. You couldn't buy
the materials for that.
502
00:29:04,199 --> 00:29:07,066
Now, what do you want
with a chicken coop?
503
00:29:07,142 --> 00:29:09,473
And what do we want
with a kit home?
504
00:29:09,538 --> 00:29:12,983
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
505
00:29:13,056 --> 00:29:16,282
Now, give me a kiss,
you big hunk of a man.
506
00:29:50,042 --> 00:29:54,006
Marvellous, ain't it?
The lake, the kids.
507
00:29:58,037 --> 00:30:01,327
Oh, look at the dogs.
Don't they love it?
508
00:30:04,276 --> 00:30:06,156
Oh, smell that.
509
00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:09,512
- Diesel.
- Yep.
510
00:30:11,712 --> 00:30:13,980
Pity Wayne can't be here.
511
00:30:14,046 --> 00:30:17,490
- Darl.
- No, no, I could've done better.
512
00:30:19,001 --> 00:30:22,478
Well, let's start
cooking this feast.
513
00:30:22,550 --> 00:30:25,416
- Who ordered medium rare?
- Me.
514
00:30:25,492 --> 00:30:27,345
Good stuff.
515
00:30:27,410 --> 00:30:30,025
Check that, Steve.
It could be a little underdone.
516
00:30:30,094 --> 00:30:34,434
- I bet they don't have places
like this in Thailand, Con.
- No, Mr. Kerrigan.
517
00:30:34,507 --> 00:30:37,352
Hey, hey, hey.
"Darryl" now, mate.
518
00:30:37,416 --> 00:30:39,618
Sorry, Darryl.
519
00:30:39,686 --> 00:30:43,392
- It's a good place, though.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm curious.
520
00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:47,710
Now, I know it's unfair
to compare anyplace to Bonnie Doon,
521
00:30:47,775 --> 00:30:50,107
but why would I want to go there
instead of here?
522
00:30:50,173 --> 00:30:52,985
- It's for young people, Dad.
- I know that, Trace.
523
00:30:53,050 --> 00:30:56,560
- It's the culture, Darryl.
The place is full of culture.
- Chockers.
524
00:30:56,631 --> 00:30:58,484
- Oh, yeah.
- Something for everyone.
525
00:30:58,550 --> 00:31:00,719
- What was that movie again, Con?
- Dale.
526
00:31:00,787 --> 00:31:02,640
There were so many stories.
527
00:31:02,705 --> 00:31:05,038
At the hotel
Trace and I were staying in,
they had this one channel:
528
00:31:05,103 --> 00:31:07,523
kickboxing, 24 hours a day.
529
00:31:08,393 --> 00:31:11,485
It was just so interesting
to hear about another county.
530
00:31:11,486 --> 00:31:14,647
Meals were 5 dollars, mum.
The most beautiful sadeys(?).
531
00:31:14,648 --> 00:31:15,445
What's that, darl?
532
00:31:15,446 --> 00:31:18,786
It's meat on skew with
peanut sauce and wheat.
533
00:31:18,798 --> 00:31:21,381
And the stories
went on and on all night.
534
00:31:21,531 --> 00:31:24,756
The value for money is
absolutely second to none.
535
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:27,296
- One of the other Sony Walkmans.
- With presets?
536
00:31:27,297 --> 00:31:31,466
Yeah, presets and megabytes.
$85 dollars Australian.
537
00:31:31,797 --> 00:31:33,495
- Wow.
- Bargain?
538
00:31:34,888 --> 00:31:37,674
But I reckon someone like you, Steve,
could have got it down even further.
539
00:31:38,721 --> 00:31:40,596
I can't wait to get a beer and coffee.
540
00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:44,251
- It's great to have you two back.
- It's great to be back.
541
00:31:44,742 --> 00:31:47,130
Great to be up here.
542
00:31:47,204 --> 00:31:50,911
They haven't got
a place like this in Bangkok.
543
00:31:50,977 --> 00:31:53,276
How's the serenity?
544
00:31:54,878 --> 00:31:56,731
Not a sound.
545
00:32:08,881 --> 00:32:11,944
- Feeling good, Sal.
- Good on you, darl.
546
00:32:12,014 --> 00:32:14,183
Steve, could you move
the Corolla?
547
00:32:14,252 --> 00:32:16,584
I need to get to the Torana out
so I can get to the Commodore.
548
00:32:16,650 --> 00:32:18,982
I'll have to get the keys
to the Cortina if I'm going
to move that Corolla.
549
00:32:19,047 --> 00:32:21,379
- Watch the boat, mate.
- Yeah.
550
00:32:21,446 --> 00:32:23,865
- Know why I'm feeling good, Sal?
- Why?
551
00:32:23,939 --> 00:32:27,710
I'll tell you why.
Because this is an example
of the individual.
552
00:32:27,775 --> 00:32:30,424
Of how the individual,
if he has the guts to stand up...
553
00:32:30,494 --> 00:32:33,687
and shove it right up
those people who think
they can stand on top of you.
554
00:32:33,754 --> 00:32:36,980
The people who think
they can do that, that's why.
555
00:32:42,163 --> 00:32:44,103
What do you mean
what's my plea?
556
00:32:44,353 --> 00:32:46,587
- What is the case you are putting?
- I told you.
557
00:32:46,655 --> 00:32:49,685
I mean, you just can't walk in
and take a man's house.
558
00:32:49,756 --> 00:32:52,568
Mr. Kerrigan, are you disputing
the amount of compensation?
559
00:32:52,633 --> 00:32:57,298
I'm not interested in compensation.
I'm saying that you can't kick me out.
560
00:32:57,364 --> 00:32:59,566
Very well.
561
00:32:59,635 --> 00:33:01,999
- What is your argument?
- That's it.
562
00:33:02,064 --> 00:33:05,739
That's my argument.
You can't kick me out.
563
00:33:05,805 --> 00:33:09,631
And on what law do you base
that argument?
564
00:33:09,706 --> 00:33:13,118
- The law
of bloody common sense!
- Mr. Kerrigan.
565
00:33:13,190 --> 00:33:16,635
- I must ask you
to restrain yourself.
- Yeah, all right.
566
00:33:16,707 --> 00:33:20,959
Mr. Kerrigan, this is
the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
567
00:33:21,024 --> 00:33:24,217
You are an applicant.
You need to show--
568
00:33:24,284 --> 00:33:27,859
I need to show?
So it's up to me, is it?
569
00:33:27,929 --> 00:33:31,439
Mr. Kerrigan, Air Link,
as a federal authority,
570
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,093
has the right to purchase property
compulsorily.
571
00:33:34,164 --> 00:33:38,763
And, as far as I can see,
you have offered no evidence
to refute that right.
572
00:33:38,832 --> 00:33:40,772
No evidence?
573
00:33:40,845 --> 00:33:45,315
It's not a house. It's a home.
A man's home is his castle.
574
00:33:45,385 --> 00:33:50,138
I mean, it's-- it's--
it's Jack's castle.
It's Farou-Farouk's castle.
575
00:33:50,212 --> 00:33:52,480
You just can't walk in
and steal our homes.
576
00:33:52,547 --> 00:33:55,359
- You will be compensated.
- I don't wanna be compensated.
577
00:33:55,424 --> 00:33:57,756
You can't buy
what I've got.
578
00:33:59,260 --> 00:34:02,553
Mr. Kerrigan, I am rapidly
running out of patience.
579
00:34:02,618 --> 00:34:06,128
- You're running out of patience.
- What is your case in law?
580
00:34:08,117 --> 00:34:10,449
Well, okay, um,
581
00:34:10,514 --> 00:34:15,429
the law is supposed
to be about justice-- no, fairness.
582
00:34:15,502 --> 00:34:20,449
And I know that sometimes
what is right and fair is
not clear-cut. It's a bit iffy.
583
00:34:20,522 --> 00:34:25,371
But this is not iffy.
I mean, this is as clear as day.
584
00:34:25,444 --> 00:34:30,393
It is right and fair
that a family be allowed
to live in its own house.
585
00:34:30,464 --> 00:34:32,764
That is justice.
586
00:34:34,268 --> 00:34:36,755
I rest my case.
587
00:34:38,871 --> 00:34:42,513
Dad reckoned he'd nailed it.
Farouk agreed.
588
00:34:45,202 --> 00:34:47,753
But Dad was wrong.
589
00:34:47,824 --> 00:34:52,610
I can't believe I lost.
I've let you down.
590
00:34:52,684 --> 00:34:55,976
No, no, Mr. Kerrigan.
You do good job.
591
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,104
- Please, Farouk, call me Darryl.
- Okay, Mr. Darryl.
592
00:34:59,174 --> 00:35:02,170
But, you know, I never heard that one
you say before.
593
00:35:02,243 --> 00:35:05,403
"A man's home is his castle."
Well, that's an old saying.
594
00:35:05,472 --> 00:35:09,658
No, no. Other one. Other one.
"Is not house, is home."
595
00:35:09,724 --> 00:35:12,657
Farouk, I lost.
596
00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:15,248
I know, Mr. Darryl.
597
00:35:15,319 --> 00:35:17,837
Farouk, how much
are they paying you?
598
00:35:17,909 --> 00:35:20,972
- $65,000.
- For your place?
599
00:35:21,042 --> 00:35:25,261
Yes. They say the plane,
they fly overhead, drop the value.
600
00:35:25,326 --> 00:35:29,152
I don't care. In Beirut,
plane fly overhead, drop bomb.
601
00:35:29,227 --> 00:35:33,282
- I like this plane.
- What are we going to do, Darryl?
602
00:35:33,351 --> 00:35:35,236
I don't know, Jack.
603
00:35:35,302 --> 00:35:39,008
This is the only place I can afford.
I don't wanna move.
604
00:35:39,074 --> 00:35:40,927
You see what
they're doing, Sal?
605
00:35:40,992 --> 00:35:43,063
Mm.
606
00:35:43,133 --> 00:35:46,643
- How long you lived here, Jack?
- Three years.
607
00:35:46,714 --> 00:35:50,126
Now, in the area.
How long have you lived around here?
608
00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:52,205
Fifty-seven years.
609
00:35:52,278 --> 00:35:55,657
Fifty-seven years.
610
00:35:55,730 --> 00:35:59,786
And they're gonna
kick you out on your ass.
611
00:35:59,855 --> 00:36:04,041
Well, bugger 'em.
I'm not giving up, Jack.
612
00:36:04,107 --> 00:36:08,359
If they wanna play things by the law,
fine. We'll play by the law.
613
00:36:08,423 --> 00:36:11,268
But they're not
the only big guns in town.
614
00:36:11,333 --> 00:36:15,606
If it's gonna be lawyers, I'm gonna
hit them with the big artillery.
615
00:36:15,712 --> 00:36:19,986
Hang on, Darryl.
Jesus, these fucking photocopiers.
616
00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:22,873
What the fuck is that?
I cleared tray three.
617
00:36:22,938 --> 00:36:24,791
Why don't you get your girl
to do that for you?
618
00:36:24,856 --> 00:36:28,845
She's not here on Mondays.
She does Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
619
00:36:28,916 --> 00:36:31,564
F-3. What the fuck
is that?
620
00:36:31,634 --> 00:36:33,771
- Dennis, how did it go?
- Not good.
621
00:36:33,839 --> 00:36:37,611
I spoke to every barrister I know.
No one wants to touch it.
622
00:36:37,676 --> 00:36:39,911
All right. You do it.
623
00:36:39,977 --> 00:36:42,365
I told you, Darryl,
I'm not qualified.
624
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,699
You're not qualified?
Now I've heard everything.
625
00:36:45,766 --> 00:36:47,835
What do you mean
you're not qualified?
626
00:36:47,907 --> 00:36:50,174
I mean I'm not
in the big time.
627
00:36:50,241 --> 00:36:52,148
You have lost faith
in yourself, Dennis.
628
00:36:52,224 --> 00:36:54,904
- Darryl--
- You have lost faith.
629
00:36:54,972 --> 00:36:58,766
Darryl, it's over my head.
It's over your head too.
630
00:36:58,841 --> 00:37:02,612
Over my head? Dennis.
631
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:05,675
- Darryl, have you heard
of the Barlow Group?
-No.
632
00:37:05,747 --> 00:37:09,127
It's basically a big investment company
controlled by three blokes...
633
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:11,052
worth about
a half a billion each.
634
00:37:11,117 --> 00:37:13,570
Well, the Barlow Group
is Air Link.
635
00:37:13,643 --> 00:37:15,780
I thought Air Link
was the government.
636
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:19,807
It's a government authority,
but all the money's coming from Barlow.
637
00:37:19,877 --> 00:37:24,282
It's a way of privatizing
without privatizing.
Anyway, it's a big, big thing.
638
00:37:24,354 --> 00:37:27,220
Every level of government.
Huge investment.
639
00:37:28,254 --> 00:37:30,292
All right, fine.
So they're big.
640
00:37:30,364 --> 00:37:32,272
But why do they
wantmy house?
641
00:37:32,346 --> 00:37:35,605
Why don't they just fill in
the old quarry and build it there?
642
00:37:35,671 --> 00:37:38,570
I don't know. Maybe it's just cheaper
to pull down more houses.
643
00:37:38,645 --> 00:37:43,147
- So we fight 'em.
- Darryl, they want this thing to work.
644
00:37:43,217 --> 00:37:47,970
- They're gonna get their way.
- And you know why people
like that get their way?
645
00:37:48,044 --> 00:37:51,337
Because people like us
don't stand up to 'em.
646
00:37:51,401 --> 00:37:53,504
Now, they've still
gotta play by the rules.
647
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:57,401
Darryl, they write the rules.
They own the game.
648
00:37:57,475 --> 00:38:01,246
Fuck, Dennis. It's my fucking house.
You're not gonna run scared on me.
649
00:38:02,622 --> 00:38:04,858
I can't do this by myself.
650
00:38:04,925 --> 00:38:07,606
All right, mate.
651
00:38:07,674 --> 00:38:10,290
Let me think about it.
652
00:38:14,835 --> 00:38:18,891
- Con's working late tonight.
- He's just so busy.
653
00:38:18,961 --> 00:38:21,773
I cannot believe
this postcard arrived today.
654
00:38:21,838 --> 00:38:23,843
Thanks
for dropping in.
655
00:38:23,916 --> 00:38:25,920
How's he treating
my princess?
656
00:38:25,993 --> 00:38:27,846
Dad!
657
00:38:27,912 --> 00:38:30,626
All right,
all right.
658
00:38:30,693 --> 00:38:33,560
You saw
some amazing things.
659
00:38:33,635 --> 00:38:36,186
Now, that is
a bloody big statue.
660
00:38:36,256 --> 00:38:39,385
- Yeah, and it's all made of gold.
- Is that so?
661
00:38:41,724 --> 00:38:44,023
This bloke's
gonna win the cars.
662
00:38:44,090 --> 00:38:47,250
- How's the salon?
- Good.
663
00:38:47,319 --> 00:38:49,172
And look at these models.
664
00:38:49,237 --> 00:38:53,488
They've got ripper bodies,
but they let themselves down
in the hair department.
665
00:38:53,552 --> 00:38:57,258
You ought to contact
Channel Nine, get
a contract with them.
666
00:38:57,325 --> 00:38:59,428
Dad, it doesn't work
like that.
667
00:38:59,498 --> 00:39:03,870
Well, look at them and look at you.
Now, that is a head of hair.
668
00:39:03,943 --> 00:39:06,755
- Just beautiful.
- Thanks, Dad.
669
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:08,760
I'm only stating
the truth.
670
00:39:08,835 --> 00:39:11,484
Dad, what's a pulpit?
671
00:39:11,552 --> 00:39:15,706
Where the minister gives
his sermon from. How much?
672
00:39:15,772 --> 00:39:19,413
- Eight hundred.
- Dreaming.
673
00:39:19,481 --> 00:39:22,610
Actually, I know how
to get you on there.
674
00:39:22,678 --> 00:39:26,700
- Send in a photo of you
for the home viewers.
- Dad, if you dare.
675
00:39:26,770 --> 00:39:30,215
- Oh, I've got quite a few lying around.
- Dad!
676
00:39:30,287 --> 00:39:33,765
Actually, I think I've got one taken
when you were two...
677
00:39:33,836 --> 00:39:35,688
and you didn't have
any clothes on.
678
00:39:35,753 --> 00:39:37,606
Dad! Don't you--
679
00:39:37,672 --> 00:39:40,386
- Quite a few to choose from there.
- Don't-- No!
680
00:39:44,770 --> 00:39:47,834
That night I thought of Wayne again.
681
00:39:47,903 --> 00:39:51,282
I wondered what he was doing
and whether the elephant's
trunk was still up.
682
00:39:51,356 --> 00:39:53,209
'Cause that
brings good luck.
683
00:40:06,415 --> 00:40:08,268
So, in conclusion,
684
00:40:08,333 --> 00:40:11,810
my client will be appealing the decision
to the federal court...
685
00:40:11,882 --> 00:40:16,101
and, as an interim, will
be seeking an injunction...
686
00:40:16,166 --> 00:40:19,774
to stop any further action
in this matter.
687
00:40:19,842 --> 00:40:22,654
Sincerely, Dennis Denuto.
688
00:40:53,316 --> 00:40:55,769
Hammersley and Laycock.
May I help you?
689
00:40:55,841 --> 00:40:57,880
Yes, putting you through now.
690
00:41:02,075 --> 00:41:06,294
I'm afraid he can't come
to the phone right now, Farouk.
He's up in the ceiling.
691
00:41:06,359 --> 00:41:11,177
All right, I'll get him
to give you a call
as soon as he comes down.
692
00:41:11,251 --> 00:41:14,826
Okay. Oh, give my love to Taboulah.
693
00:41:14,895 --> 00:41:16,835
- Good-bye.
- Shit!
694
00:41:17,868 --> 00:41:20,103
Steve!
695
00:41:20,171 --> 00:41:23,071
- Yeah?
- The beams aren't supporting.
696
00:41:23,144 --> 00:41:26,556
- I reckon we put a hold
on the mezzanine.
- Yeah, all right.
697
00:41:26,629 --> 00:41:31,229
But I'll have to give that guy a
call about the spiral staircase
'cause he's holding it for us.
698
00:41:31,297 --> 00:41:34,392
- Darl, can you give Farouk a ring?
- Yeah.
699
00:41:34,462 --> 00:41:37,395
- Where's Dad?
- Up in the roof.
700
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:40,181
- Dad!
- Yeah, mate?
701
00:41:40,249 --> 00:41:45,329
I dug another hole.
It's filling with water.
702
00:42:00,344 --> 00:42:05,161
You are fucking kidding me.
I cleared that tray three fucking times!
703
00:42:05,235 --> 00:42:07,405
- Mr. Denuto.
- Yeah?
704
00:42:07,473 --> 00:42:10,318
Ron Graham, Hammersley and Laycock.
Got your note during the week.
705
00:42:10,382 --> 00:42:15,332
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Um, sit down.
706
00:42:18,727 --> 00:42:22,335
Now, the Kerrigan matter.
707
00:42:23,714 --> 00:42:26,362
Well, we're going
to be taking it further.
708
00:42:26,432 --> 00:42:30,868
Yes, we totally understand,
and we're here on behalf
of our client to apologize.
709
00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:33,011
- We made a mistake.
- You have?
710
00:42:33,081 --> 00:42:37,682
Yes, it appears that the house
belonging to Mr. Kerrigan was
grossly undervalued by mistake,
711
00:42:37,749 --> 00:42:39,984
and our client would like
to rectify the situation.
712
00:42:40,051 --> 00:42:43,909
- Well, what are you offering?
- Another $25,000.
713
00:42:43,983 --> 00:42:46,370
- Whoa.
- As a separate cash check.
714
00:42:46,445 --> 00:42:49,573
You know, Darryl, my client,
715
00:42:49,642 --> 00:42:52,836
is disputing
the compulsory purchase.
716
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:55,454
Yes, though with
the correct valuation,
717
00:42:55,526 --> 00:42:57,695
we thought this may put
the dispute to rest.
718
00:42:57,763 --> 00:42:59,735
What if it doesn't?
719
00:43:00,992 --> 00:43:02,845
If I were you,
720
00:43:02,910 --> 00:43:05,625
I would advise Mr. Kerrigan
against taking any further action.
721
00:43:05,692 --> 00:43:07,697
This is
a multi-billion dollar project.
722
00:43:07,770 --> 00:43:10,189
It's been in planning
for a long time.
723
00:43:10,264 --> 00:43:14,537
If this action were to delay
or spoil the plans,
724
00:43:14,613 --> 00:43:18,635
the understandable anger
could well spill into something else.
725
00:43:18,704 --> 00:43:21,319
- Are you threatening?
- Hang on.
726
00:43:21,389 --> 00:43:24,899
I just came in here,
apologized and increased
the offer by $25,000.
727
00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:28,611
- I'm sorry.
- And that offer should
be put to Mr. Kerrigan...
728
00:43:28,679 --> 00:43:31,360
with your strongest
possible recommendation.
729
00:43:34,498 --> 00:43:36,830
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
730
00:43:36,896 --> 00:43:40,754
- It's $25,000, Darryl.
- Don't you get this, Dennis?
731
00:43:40,828 --> 00:43:43,509
Darryl, they're
offering 25 grand extra.
732
00:43:43,577 --> 00:43:47,469
Dennis, this is not about money.
I am not leaving my house.
733
00:43:47,541 --> 00:43:49,776
- Tell 'em I'm not moving.
- They're not gonna be happy.
734
00:43:49,844 --> 00:43:53,637
- Who cares?
- I mean, they're
gonna be really unhappy.
735
00:43:55,150 --> 00:43:58,311
- So what are you telling me, Dennis?
- Nothing, Darryl.
736
00:43:58,379 --> 00:44:00,647
- Did they threaten you?
- Not me, really.
737
00:44:00,714 --> 00:44:03,013
- They threatened me.
- Not exactly. They just said--
738
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:05,695
- They fucking well threatened me.
- They just said--
739
00:44:05,765 --> 00:44:10,779
I want you to get on that phone
right now and tell 'em where
they can shove their 25 grand.
740
00:44:10,848 --> 00:44:13,366
Darryl, " them"
is the Barlow Group,
741
00:44:13,438 --> 00:44:15,346
people used
to getting their way.
742
00:44:15,421 --> 00:44:17,720
Now, they want
to expand the airport,
743
00:44:17,786 --> 00:44:20,054
and there's one bloke
who's a pain in the ass.
744
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,532
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
745
00:44:33,452 --> 00:44:35,360
More, darling?
746
00:44:35,433 --> 00:44:39,260
Oh, no. No, love. That was beautiful.
What do you call that?
747
00:44:39,334 --> 00:44:41,437
lce cream.
748
00:44:41,508 --> 00:44:45,596
Yeah, but what you've done with it.
What did you do to it?
749
00:44:45,665 --> 00:44:48,629
Scooped it out of the tub.
750
00:44:48,702 --> 00:44:50,871
Did I do the right thing?
751
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:53,719
Oh, yes, sweetheart,
you did the right thing.
752
00:44:53,785 --> 00:44:56,914
- Twenty-five grand, Dad.
- Yeah, but not that way, Steve.
753
00:44:56,983 --> 00:44:59,152
We're not gonna
take the money.
754
00:45:02,417 --> 00:45:05,066
- I want to tell you a story.
- Oh, good.
755
00:45:05,135 --> 00:45:07,434
- About how your father and I met.
- I know this one.
756
00:45:07,501 --> 00:45:09,354
Not all of it, Dale.
757
00:45:09,419 --> 00:45:14,336
You see, I used to go out
with a very handsome young man,
758
00:45:14,406 --> 00:45:16,477
well-to-do,
called Bob Thompson.
759
00:45:16,549 --> 00:45:19,960
Big Bob Thompson.
What's he doing now, eh?
760
00:45:20,033 --> 00:45:22,006
Putting in fence posts
in the country.
761
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,466
- He runs a construction company.
- So he says.
762
00:45:24,542 --> 00:45:27,354
Well, anyway, one night he took me
to the greyhounds.
763
00:45:27,419 --> 00:45:31,245
- He put on a real show.
We ate at the carvery.
- What did you have?
764
00:45:31,319 --> 00:45:33,226
Uh, pork.
765
00:45:33,301 --> 00:45:35,851
Anyway, we had wine, champagne.
766
00:45:35,923 --> 00:45:39,083
He put on all my bets,
and he was just sweeping me off my feet.
767
00:45:39,152 --> 00:45:42,498
And I wouldn't have
been at all surprised
if he'd popped the question.
768
00:45:42,572 --> 00:45:45,569
Well, anyway, later on--
I don't know what it was--
769
00:45:45,643 --> 00:45:49,414
But out of the corner of my eye
I spotted this lanky bloke...
770
00:45:49,479 --> 00:45:51,714
- struggling with one of his greyhounds.
- Red Rocket.
771
00:45:51,781 --> 00:45:55,868
- That's you, Dad.
- Now, Bob, he went off to talk
to one of the stewards.
772
00:45:55,937 --> 00:45:59,479
And this young fella,
he comes right up to me
and starts chatting to me...
773
00:45:59,549 --> 00:46:01,555
and he asks me out.
774
00:46:01,627 --> 00:46:05,236
And I said,
"Well, I'm on a date."
775
00:46:05,304 --> 00:46:08,335
Well, he backed right off.
776
00:46:08,406 --> 00:46:13,006
He said he wasn't cutting
anyone's lunch,
and he wished me good night.
777
00:46:13,073 --> 00:46:17,193
And I thought,
"That man has principles."
778
00:46:17,261 --> 00:46:21,927
And from that day on,
I've only had eyes for one man.
779
00:46:21,994 --> 00:46:24,447
Hook, line and sinker.
780
00:46:24,519 --> 00:46:28,193
And that's what I love about him:
his principles.
781
00:46:28,259 --> 00:46:30,908
So we're not taking
the money, Steve.
782
00:46:30,977 --> 00:46:34,454
Hang on. I'll get it.
783
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:39,380
What was the carvery like?
784
00:46:41,399 --> 00:46:43,764
- Yeah?
- Mr. Kerrigan.
785
00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:46,445
- Yeah? What?
- I've just got a message to pass on.
786
00:46:46,515 --> 00:46:49,098
- From who?
- I'm just passing on a message.
787
00:46:49,168 --> 00:46:51,849
- Are you from the council?
- No, I'm not from the council.
788
00:46:51,918 --> 00:46:54,730
- The company.
- I'm just passing on
a message, Mr. Kerrigan.
789
00:46:54,795 --> 00:46:56,965
They always send
someone different, don't they?
790
00:46:57,032 --> 00:47:00,607
The message is,
"Take the offer and shut up."
Understood?
791
00:47:00,677 --> 00:47:02,912
- Are you threatening me?
- I'm just passing on a message.
792
00:47:02,980 --> 00:47:05,366
- Fuck off, you clown! Fuck off!
- Mr. Kerrigan--
793
00:47:05,442 --> 00:47:07,741
- You better watch your mouth, pal.
- You heard my dad.
794
00:47:07,807 --> 00:47:10,871
- Now, fuck off!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Fine.
795
00:47:10,941 --> 00:47:13,687
I'm just trying
to tell you.
796
00:47:17,174 --> 00:47:19,856
And what the fuck do you think
you're doing?
797
00:47:19,924 --> 00:47:22,311
You know what I said after Wayne.
No more guns in the house.
798
00:47:22,386 --> 00:47:24,555
- Yeah, but he was threatening you.
- Where did you get it?
799
00:47:24,624 --> 00:47:26,858
- Trading Post.
- And what did you pay for it?
800
00:47:26,925 --> 00:47:29,770
- One-eighty.
- What was he asking?
801
00:47:29,835 --> 00:47:33,248
- Two-fifty.
- He was dreaming.
802
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,733
- Yeah.
- Get rid of it.
803
00:47:38,755 --> 00:47:40,608
Sell it.
804
00:47:58,897 --> 00:48:01,229
Pricks!
805
00:48:04,331 --> 00:48:07,711
All right. All right.
806
00:48:07,785 --> 00:48:10,652
I might pass on
a message of my own.
807
00:48:23,354 --> 00:48:27,725
Don't bullshit me, pal.
I know why you want Highview Crescent.
808
00:48:27,798 --> 00:48:30,795
It's because you're
too much of a tight-ass
to fill in the quarry.
809
00:48:30,868 --> 00:48:34,378
It's easier to knock down
people's houses than it
is to fill in a hole.
810
00:48:34,449 --> 00:48:36,356
Well, what do
you say to that?
811
00:48:36,431 --> 00:48:38,316
Get off my property
or I'll call the police.
812
00:48:38,381 --> 00:48:41,607
Fuck the police! You're the asshole
who had my car smashed!
813
00:48:41,674 --> 00:48:44,257
Settle down, mate.
Settle down.
814
00:48:44,328 --> 00:48:46,911
It's just what
he wants us to do.
815
00:48:48,611 --> 00:48:53,179
Let's just keep our cool.
We don't wanna do anything stupid.
816
00:49:20,838 --> 00:49:24,032
- Darryl John Kerrigan?
- You know who I am, Mick.
817
00:49:24,099 --> 00:49:26,714
- Darryl John Kerrigan.
- Yes, officer?
818
00:49:26,785 --> 00:49:30,164
Were you on Lansell Road,
Toorak at approximately
2:30 this morning?
819
00:49:30,237 --> 00:49:33,878
- No.
- Is there anyone who can verify
your whereabouts at that hour?
820
00:49:33,947 --> 00:49:38,197
Yeah, yeah. Everyone in this house.
While we've still got it.
821
00:49:38,263 --> 00:49:42,088
- Daz, I know you did it.
- I told you, mate.
I don't know anything--
822
00:49:42,162 --> 00:49:45,356
- Shut up. I'm not going to book you.
This is just a warning.
823
00:49:45,423 --> 00:49:49,195
I know what's going on.
No one wants to see you get
the rough end of the stick,
824
00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:51,430
but you're gonna have
to watch yourself.
825
00:49:51,497 --> 00:49:53,983
- Otherwise, you'll end up losing more
than this house.
- Mick.
826
00:49:54,056 --> 00:49:58,013
Darryl, I've seen it happen, mate.
Now, settle down.
827
00:49:58,085 --> 00:50:02,237
If you wanna take 'em on,
do it the right way. By the book.
828
00:50:02,304 --> 00:50:05,562
- All right, Mick.
- Oh, and, uh, Daz?
829
00:50:05,629 --> 00:50:09,138
- Yeah?
- Put them gates around the back.
830
00:50:09,210 --> 00:50:11,063
Oh.
831
00:50:18,066 --> 00:50:20,584
Now, listen.
Things are gettin' a bit serious.
832
00:50:20,655 --> 00:50:24,744
Last night I had a visit
from some hired thug.
833
00:50:24,811 --> 00:50:27,743
- Yeah, me too.
-What do you mean, you too?
834
00:50:27,817 --> 00:50:31,742
A man, he come to my house and he say,
"Stop with the court business."
835
00:50:31,813 --> 00:50:34,365
If no stop, he have friend
who come and beat me.
836
00:50:34,435 --> 00:50:36,855
And I say,
"You have friend, I have friend.
837
00:50:36,929 --> 00:50:40,155
My friend come to your house,
put bomb under your car
and blow you to fucking sky."
838
00:50:40,222 --> 00:50:43,121
- What'd he do?
- He get scared and he leave.
839
00:50:43,195 --> 00:50:46,356
- I bet he did.
- I-I don't really
have friend like this,
840
00:50:46,424 --> 00:50:49,836
but, you know, I'm Arab and people think
all Arab have bomb.
841
00:50:49,909 --> 00:50:53,702
You're a bloody ripper, Farouk.
That's fuckin' fantastic.
842
00:50:53,778 --> 00:50:56,873
- Excuse the French, Evonne.
- Get your hand off it, Darryl.
843
00:50:56,942 --> 00:51:00,256
Anyway, um,
I was worried for everyone.
844
00:51:00,332 --> 00:51:04,103
I just didn't want to force
anyone into this. Farouk?
845
00:51:04,168 --> 00:51:06,435
No, I'm with you,
Mr. Darryl.
846
00:51:06,502 --> 00:51:09,467
- Evonne?
- What are they gonna do
my ex hasn't done?
847
00:51:09,538 --> 00:51:12,667
- Jack?
- Yeah, fuck 'em.
848
00:51:12,736 --> 00:51:15,800
Well, Dennis Denuto
is acting on our behalf.
849
00:51:15,869 --> 00:51:18,550
We've gotta be
in federal court next Tuesday.
850
00:51:18,619 --> 00:51:20,307
Does he think
we've got a good case?
851
00:51:20,378 --> 00:51:23,506
Well, he reckons it just has
to contravene the Constitution.
852
00:51:23,573 --> 00:51:26,353
And the Constitution
is the biggest law we've got.
853
00:51:28,033 --> 00:51:29,055
How much?
854
00:51:29,234 --> 00:51:31,621
Ah, good point, Evonne. Steve?
855
00:51:33,838 --> 00:51:37,511
Now, all up,
it's gonna cost 1,500.
856
00:51:37,578 --> 00:51:40,924
Now, that's 750 now,
750 in six months' time.
857
00:51:40,999 --> 00:51:43,201
So 150 each.
858
00:51:43,269 --> 00:51:46,333
And, Jack, I know you can't do it,
so I'm kickin' in for you.
859
00:51:46,402 --> 00:51:48,888
Oh, good on you, Darryl.
I'll pay you back.
860
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,346
- Evonne?
- Yeah, fine.
861
00:51:51,422 --> 00:51:53,492
- Farouk?
- I pay cash now.
862
00:51:53,564 --> 00:51:58,480
No, no, no, hold your horses.
What is it with wogs and cash?
863
00:51:58,550 --> 00:52:01,363
Anyway, it's
bargain-basement prices,
864
00:52:01,428 --> 00:52:05,832
and, uh, you'd better
wear a suit this time, Farouk.
865
00:52:05,905 --> 00:52:08,074
What's this Dennis Denuto
like, Darryl?
866
00:52:08,142 --> 00:52:12,164
Ah, he's a lawyer.
This is about the law.
867
00:52:12,235 --> 00:52:14,785
He's gotta know
what he's doin'.
868
00:52:18,085 --> 00:52:20,701
Um... all--
all right.
869
00:52:20,770 --> 00:52:22,972
Gi-Give me
one moment...
870
00:52:23,041 --> 00:52:24,894
and I--
and I will.
871
00:52:24,959 --> 00:52:27,445
Um... it's the--
872
00:52:29,434 --> 00:52:31,343
the, um-- the--
873
00:52:33,144 --> 00:52:35,759
the Constitution
of Australia.
874
00:52:35,829 --> 00:52:39,404
This is a blatant violation...
875
00:52:39,474 --> 00:52:42,820
of the Constitution
of the Commonwealth of Australia.
876
00:52:42,895 --> 00:52:45,707
And when it comes
to violations,
877
00:52:45,772 --> 00:52:47,876
they don't come
any bigger.
878
00:52:49,289 --> 00:52:52,515
What section of the Constitution
has been breached?
879
00:52:52,582 --> 00:52:54,435
Section?
880
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:57,083
Wh-What section?
881
00:52:57,153 --> 00:52:59,606
There is no one section.
882
00:52:59,679 --> 00:53:03,221
It's just the vibe of the thing.
883
00:53:04,795 --> 00:53:08,533
I'm afraid, Mr. Denuto,
you'll have to be more specific.
884
00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:10,452
Oh, yeah,
sure, sure.
885
00:53:10,518 --> 00:53:13,613
I was just starting general,
and then I was getting...
more specific...
886
00:53:13,682 --> 00:53:17,541
with the-- the, um--
Just one moment, please.
887
00:53:17,615 --> 00:53:19,784
The, um--
888
00:53:19,854 --> 00:53:23,112
Jesus, Darryl,
I am sweatin' here.
889
00:53:23,178 --> 00:53:25,217
You're killin' them,
Dennis.
890
00:53:25,288 --> 00:53:27,674
I don't even know
Roman numerals.
891
00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:30,878
Um-- It's-- It's--
892
00:53:30,946 --> 00:53:32,800
Ju--
I've got it here.
893
00:53:32,865 --> 00:53:36,691
It's the... section 51,
894
00:53:36,766 --> 00:53:40,058
uh, second
from the bottom.
895
00:53:41,369 --> 00:53:43,887
"The Parliament shall
have power to make laws...
896
00:53:43,959 --> 00:53:47,054
with respect to copyrights,
patents of inventions...
897
00:53:47,123 --> 00:53:49,293
and designs
and trademarks."
898
00:53:49,362 --> 00:53:51,880
It's all part of it.
899
00:53:51,952 --> 00:53:54,251
This is what I'm getting at.
That's my point.
900
00:53:54,317 --> 00:53:56,486
It's-- It's
the vibe of it.
901
00:53:56,556 --> 00:53:59,521
All right. Taken.
902
00:53:59,592 --> 00:54:02,078
Do you have a precedent
which supports...
903
00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:04,352
this...vibe?
904
00:54:04,421 --> 00:54:07,451
Uh... yes.
905
00:54:07,521 --> 00:54:10,552
Yes, I do.
Um, just one moment.
906
00:54:12,030 --> 00:54:15,125
What's the name
of the famous aboriginal?
907
00:54:15,195 --> 00:54:17,364
- Cathy Freeman.
- No, the court case.
908
00:54:17,433 --> 00:54:19,983
- Evonne Goolagong.
- No, no, no. Ma-- Mabo.
909
00:54:20,054 --> 00:54:21,961
Mabo.
910
00:54:22,037 --> 00:54:24,522
What about it?
911
00:54:24,594 --> 00:54:28,136
That's your classic case
of big business...
912
00:54:28,207 --> 00:54:30,093
trying to take land,
913
00:54:30,157 --> 00:54:32,010
and they couldn't.
914
00:54:32,075 --> 00:54:34,942
Mr. Denuto,
the Mabo decision...
915
00:54:35,017 --> 00:54:39,388
pertains to the specific
issue of native land title
and terra nullius.
916
00:54:39,461 --> 00:54:41,346
Yeah.
917
00:54:41,410 --> 00:54:45,433
So what part of the judgment
is relevant to this case?
918
00:54:45,503 --> 00:54:49,972
A-Again, i-it's just
the vibe of it.
919
00:54:52,057 --> 00:54:55,021
Actually, may I
approach the bench?
920
00:55:02,607 --> 00:55:05,092
Am I wasting
my time here?
921
00:55:05,165 --> 00:55:07,400
Your case
is not strong.
922
00:55:07,467 --> 00:55:11,173
- Am I sort of in the ballpark though?
- I'm a judge.
923
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,888
I understand.
Can you just give me an angle?
924
00:55:13,957 --> 00:55:16,288
I'm sorry, Mr. Denuto.
I can't.
925
00:55:16,355 --> 00:55:18,425
Understood.
Understood.
926
00:55:18,497 --> 00:55:21,080
I think I've got
a good one anyway.
927
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,467
In summing up,
i-it's the Constitution,
928
00:55:31,541 --> 00:55:34,985
it's Mabo,
it's justice, it's law.
929
00:55:35,058 --> 00:55:38,731
It's the vibe,
and, uh--
930
00:55:38,798 --> 00:55:41,218
No, that's it.
It's the vibe.
931
00:55:43,210 --> 00:55:45,249
I rest my case.
932
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,187
That was sensational.
933
00:55:48,262 --> 00:55:50,497
Counsel for the respondent?
934
00:55:51,874 --> 00:55:54,327
Your Honor, I don't wish to waste
any more of your time.
935
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,693
- Appreciated.
- All our arguments are contained
in the forward documents,
936
00:55:57,758 --> 00:56:01,333
and we'd be more than happy
for that to constitute
the case for the respondent.
937
00:56:01,401 --> 00:56:03,538
Thank you. So be it.
938
00:56:03,608 --> 00:56:05,940
I call a one-hour
adjournment.
939
00:56:06,006 --> 00:56:08,873
Good on ya, Dennis.
That shut 'em up.
940
00:56:08,947 --> 00:56:11,846
I'm going for a bit
of a breather, mate.
941
00:56:51,883 --> 00:56:53,736
How you goin'?
942
00:56:53,802 --> 00:56:55,839
Oh, fine. Fine.
943
00:56:55,912 --> 00:56:58,299
- Got a case comin' up?
- Uh, no, no.
944
00:56:58,374 --> 00:57:01,186
I'm here to see someone.
I'm-I'm a spectator today.
945
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,958
- Are you?
- My son's first appearance.
946
00:57:05,024 --> 00:57:08,534
Oh? Do you reckon
he'll get off?
947
00:57:08,605 --> 00:57:11,023
Oh, no, no.
He's a barrister.
948
00:57:11,099 --> 00:57:14,608
- He's appearing for
the first time as a barrister.
- Congratulations.
949
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,098
- Thank you.
- Uh, Darryl Kerrigan.
950
00:57:17,173 --> 00:57:19,952
- Lawrence Hammill.
- G'day, Lawrence.
951
00:57:20,019 --> 00:57:23,179
Barrister, eh?
He'd need a degree for that.
952
00:57:23,247 --> 00:57:26,561
Yes, yes. He-He's got a couple,
actually.
953
00:57:26,636 --> 00:57:30,593
- Ah, you must be as proud as punch.
- Well, you know.
954
00:57:30,664 --> 00:57:33,029
Oh, I know.
I've got a daughter.
955
00:57:33,094 --> 00:57:36,735
Diploma certificate,
fully qualified hairdresser.
956
00:57:36,803 --> 00:57:40,956
The day she came home
and told me she'd got
into Sunshine Tech...
957
00:57:41,023 --> 00:57:44,315
- was the proudest day of my life.
- Yes, yes, I can imagine.
958
00:57:44,380 --> 00:57:48,239
Yeah, sure makes us parents
look like a bunch of dodos, eh?
959
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,655
You wouldn't have dreamt
of doing what your son's done.
960
00:57:52,724 --> 00:57:56,332
No, no. Anyway, Darryl,
what brings you here?
961
00:57:56,401 --> 00:57:58,820
Our bloody government's
trying to take my house.
962
00:57:58,895 --> 00:58:01,381
This new Air Link thing.
I mean, imagine that.
963
00:58:01,452 --> 00:58:03,938
Sal and me, we brought up
our whole family in that house,
964
00:58:04,011 --> 00:58:06,561
and they think they
can just walk in--
965
00:58:08,006 --> 00:58:10,786
Anyway, we're takin' 'em
to court.
966
00:58:10,852 --> 00:58:14,493
Bloody outrageous.
It's gotta be against the Constitution.
967
00:58:14,561 --> 00:58:17,460
Yes, it is outrageous.
Who's acting for you?
968
00:58:17,534 --> 00:58:21,076
- Dennis Denuto.
- Uh, never heard of him.
969
00:58:21,147 --> 00:58:23,926
You wouldn't have.
He just does our local area.
970
00:58:23,992 --> 00:58:27,120
Yeah, but I've never heard of him
in Constitutional law.
971
00:58:27,188 --> 00:58:30,001
Oh, no, you wouldn't.
No, he does conveyancing mainly.
972
00:58:30,066 --> 00:58:32,485
You know, wills, petty theft,
that sort of thing.
973
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:34,947
But hey, it's all based
on the Constitution.
974
00:58:35,021 --> 00:58:38,367
Yes. Yes, in a way.
975
00:58:38,444 --> 00:58:42,052
- Good bloke though.
- Yes. Sounds like it.
976
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,866
Anyway, uh,
I'd better be going.
977
00:58:44,933 --> 00:58:48,279
- Sure.
- Nice talking to you, Lawrie.
978
00:58:48,353 --> 00:58:50,904
- Nice talking to you, Darryl.
- And good luck with your boy.
979
00:58:50,975 --> 00:58:55,281
Thanks, Darryl.
I hope everything works out.
980
00:58:55,356 --> 00:58:58,201
Ah, yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty confident.
981
00:58:58,265 --> 00:59:00,532
I find in favor
of the respondent.
982
00:59:00,599 --> 00:59:02,507
Yes!
983
00:59:04,692 --> 00:59:06,861
It's them, Darryl.
984
00:59:06,929 --> 00:59:10,090
But we was respondin'
to them.
985
00:59:10,158 --> 00:59:14,049
We lost, Darryl.
I'm sorry.
986
00:59:14,123 --> 00:59:17,251
Dad reckons he must have
sat there for an hour.
987
00:59:17,319 --> 00:59:20,796
He said it was like being kicked
in the guts with the back end of a bus.
988
00:59:20,868 --> 00:59:24,826
Dad had to explain to Farouk
that they had lost.
989
00:59:24,929 --> 00:59:27,959
It was really hard
telling Evonne too.
990
00:59:28,030 --> 00:59:30,841
But the toughest one
was Jack.
991
00:59:36,118 --> 00:59:37,971
Trace and Con
were great though.
992
00:59:39,858 --> 00:59:43,783
Good on you, Dad. You stood up to them.
I'm so proud of you.
993
00:59:43,856 --> 00:59:47,300
I'm so impressed with your fighting
quality, Mr. Kerrigan.
994
00:59:47,372 --> 00:59:49,224
Thanks, mate.
995
00:59:49,290 --> 00:59:52,931
And can I just say how disenchanted
I am with our legal system.
996
00:59:58,274 --> 01:00:01,468
Dad was very quiet
after losing the court case.
997
01:00:01,536 --> 01:00:04,054
I'd never seen him so down.
998
01:00:04,125 --> 01:00:07,438
He even stopped complimenting Mum
on her cooking.
999
01:00:09,752 --> 01:00:11,757
You all right there,
Darryl?
1000
01:00:11,830 --> 01:00:13,683
Yeah.
1001
01:00:17,999 --> 01:00:20,364
Dad?
1002
01:00:20,429 --> 01:00:23,177
Someone's, uh,
1003
01:00:23,243 --> 01:00:25,891
sellin' a telephone box.
1004
01:00:32,706 --> 01:00:35,421
They said no
to an extension.
1005
01:00:36,607 --> 01:00:39,027
Dennis says we've got
to be out in two weeks.
1006
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:40,953
Two weeks?
1007
01:00:47,957 --> 01:00:50,410
I haven't told Wayne yet.
1008
01:00:52,049 --> 01:00:54,730
I think Dad felt he'd let
everyone down, but especially Wayne.
1009
01:00:54,798 --> 01:00:57,611
That's why he'd been
puttin' off tellin' him.
1010
01:00:57,676 --> 01:01:00,521
He just couldn't think of a way
to break it to Wayne.
1011
01:01:00,586 --> 01:01:03,582
I told Dad not to worry.
I knew how to tell Wayne we'd lost.
1012
01:01:03,654 --> 01:01:07,164
- We lost.
- Lost?
1013
01:01:07,235 --> 01:01:09,884
Yeah.
1014
01:01:09,953 --> 01:01:11,806
Did Dad do his nut?
1015
01:01:11,870 --> 01:01:14,967
Nah, he's gone all quiet.
1016
01:01:16,123 --> 01:01:18,609
Quiet?
1017
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,874
Yeah. I think he thinks
he's let everyone down.
1018
01:01:21,942 --> 01:01:23,795
Letus down?
1019
01:01:23,861 --> 01:01:26,509
Yeah, that's what I think.
1020
01:01:26,577 --> 01:01:28,430
See, especially you.
1021
01:01:28,496 --> 01:01:31,689
I think he was lookin' forward
to the day you came back to the house.
1022
01:01:31,757 --> 01:01:34,089
Well, you tell Dad...
1023
01:01:34,155 --> 01:01:37,763
the only reason
I loved that house is 'cause
it had him and Mum in it...
1024
01:01:37,831 --> 01:01:40,611
and like... everyone else.
1025
01:01:40,677 --> 01:01:43,228
Wherever they go,
I'll love...
1026
01:01:43,299 --> 01:01:46,591
as long as it
has them in it.
1027
01:01:46,655 --> 01:01:50,842
And all those lawyers
and government people
can just go and get fucked.
1028
01:01:50,908 --> 01:01:52,761
"...as long as it
has them in it.
1029
01:01:52,826 --> 01:01:56,052
And all those lawyers
and government people
can go and get fucked."
1030
01:01:56,119 --> 01:02:00,174
Ah, he wanted me to change
that " get fucked" bit, but I forgot.
1031
01:02:00,243 --> 01:02:02,891
On you, mate.
1032
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,445
I'd better keep packin'.
1033
01:02:42,444 --> 01:02:45,889
Dad?
1034
01:02:45,961 --> 01:02:48,381
Steven.
1035
01:02:48,455 --> 01:02:53,121
I can, uh, get you
some more boxes, if you want.
1036
01:02:53,186 --> 01:02:55,901
No, I think I'll be all right,
Steve.
1037
01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:02,296
Dad?
1038
01:03:04,472 --> 01:03:06,642
You haven't let anyone down.
1039
01:03:08,117 --> 01:03:11,726
I don't know what the opposite of...
lettin' someone down is,
1040
01:03:13,553 --> 01:03:15,884
but you done
the opposite.
1041
01:03:28,707 --> 01:03:31,071
When are you
gonna sign 'em?
1042
01:03:33,214 --> 01:03:36,310
- I don't know.
- They gotta be done by Friday.
1043
01:03:36,380 --> 01:03:38,995
I can't.
1044
01:03:39,065 --> 01:03:41,070
lcan't.
I just can't.
1045
01:03:41,142 --> 01:03:43,508
Darryl, we gotta go.
1046
01:03:43,573 --> 01:03:45,546
Yeah, I know.
I know we lost.
1047
01:03:45,619 --> 01:03:47,950
I know we gotta get out
of this place.
1048
01:03:48,017 --> 01:03:51,788
I know this is no longer
our house, but I'll be buggered
if I can sign those papers.
1049
01:03:51,853 --> 01:03:55,625
I just cannot physically
pick up the pen and sign them.
1050
01:04:00,421 --> 01:04:02,427
Did you speak
to Jack?
1051
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:07,034
Yeah, yeah. His son-in-law's moved
to Perth, so he's no help.
1052
01:04:07,104 --> 01:04:10,362
Poor Jack.
1053
01:04:10,428 --> 01:04:14,320
Listen, I-I told him
he could stay with us
until we work somethin' out.
1054
01:04:15,927 --> 01:04:18,064
How'd you go
with the agent?
1055
01:04:18,133 --> 01:04:21,196
Two-bedroom units
are $80,000.
1056
01:04:21,266 --> 01:04:23,119
A flat.
1057
01:04:23,184 --> 01:04:26,564
With four people,
the greyhounds,
1058
01:04:26,638 --> 01:04:28,872
five cars,
1059
01:04:28,939 --> 01:04:30,847
the boat and Jack.
1060
01:04:30,922 --> 01:04:32,927
It'll be okay.
1061
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,825
- And what are we gonna do with Wayne?
- Wayne'll understand.
1062
01:04:36,900 --> 01:04:40,160
You know he keeps a photo
of this place on his wall.
1063
01:04:40,226 --> 01:04:42,079
I know.
1064
01:04:42,144 --> 01:04:47,190
He gets out after five years,
we have to put him in a laundry
smaller than his cell.
1065
01:04:47,258 --> 01:04:50,605
- Maybe we rent.
- Rent?
1066
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,906
We not only lose our place,
we're payin' for someone else's.
1067
01:04:53,972 --> 01:04:57,897
- Oh, Darryl--
- I'm starting to understand
how the aborigines feel.
1068
01:05:00,364 --> 01:05:02,852
Have you been drinkin'?
1069
01:05:02,924 --> 01:05:05,707
Well, this house
is like their land.
1070
01:05:05,773 --> 01:05:07,879
It-It holds
their memories.
1071
01:05:07,950 --> 01:05:10,284
The land is their story.
It's everything.
1072
01:05:10,350 --> 01:05:14,126
You just can't pick it up
and plonk it down somewhere else.
1073
01:05:15,534 --> 01:05:18,830
This country's gotta stop
stealin' other people's land.
1074
01:05:18,895 --> 01:05:22,279
Dad? There's someone
here to see you.
1075
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,096
G'day, Darryl.
1076
01:05:27,217 --> 01:05:29,073
Lawrie.
1077
01:05:30,163 --> 01:05:32,335
So I thought
I'd come and visit.
1078
01:05:32,404 --> 01:05:35,274
- But how'd you find us?
- You know us dodos.
1079
01:05:35,347 --> 01:05:38,251
- We've got a few tricks up our sleeves.
- Don't I know it.
1080
01:05:39,317 --> 01:05:42,481
I, uh, heard
about the decision.
1081
01:05:42,550 --> 01:05:45,747
Yeah. Yeah, well,
that's the way these things are.
1082
01:05:45,814 --> 01:05:48,367
- How'd your boy go?
- Oh, fine. Yeah, fine.
1083
01:05:48,438 --> 01:05:52,150
- Great.
- Darryl, I wonder if I
could put something to you.
1084
01:05:52,217 --> 01:05:54,072
Yeah, sure.
1085
01:05:54,137 --> 01:05:57,006
I don't think I
introduced myself fully.
1086
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,725
You see, I'm retired now,
but I'm actually a lawyer myself.
1087
01:06:00,795 --> 01:06:04,984
Three degrees in the family.
I'd like to see your poolroom.
1088
01:06:05,050 --> 01:06:07,987
I'm, uh,
what's called a Q.C.
1089
01:06:08,060 --> 01:06:11,158
- Are you? A Q.C.? You're one of those?
- What's that?
1090
01:06:11,229 --> 01:06:14,677
- Uh, Queens Counsel.
- Oh, you counsel the queen?
1091
01:06:14,749 --> 01:06:17,881
Uh, they're the lawyers
rich people use, love.
1092
01:06:17,949 --> 01:06:21,300
Yeah, well, that's probably
the most accurate way of describing us.
1093
01:06:21,375 --> 01:06:23,285
I don't think Dennis
would be a Q.C.
1094
01:06:23,359 --> 01:06:27,102
N-No, no, I don't think.
1095
01:06:27,168 --> 01:06:29,503
Anyway, my specialty
as a Q.C...
1096
01:06:29,570 --> 01:06:32,472
was Constitutional law,
Australian Constitutional law.
1097
01:06:32,546 --> 01:06:35,067
Have you heard of
the Tasmanian Dams case?
1098
01:06:36,258 --> 01:06:38,495
- Um--
- Mabo?
1099
01:06:38,564 --> 01:06:41,794
Oh, the aboriginal guy,
told the government to shove it.
1100
01:06:41,860 --> 01:06:43,715
That's the one.
1101
01:06:43,780 --> 01:06:47,457
Uh, anyway, I've had quite
a bit to do with these over the years,
1102
01:06:47,524 --> 01:06:51,139
and I've had a look into your case
over the last few days,
1103
01:06:51,206 --> 01:06:53,694
and I think there's
a bit more to it.
1104
01:06:53,768 --> 01:06:57,063
- What do you mean?
- I think you've got a case.
1105
01:06:57,127 --> 01:07:00,194
- So Dennis was on the right track.
- Y-Yes.
1106
01:07:00,264 --> 01:07:02,239
I told you that judge
had it in for him.
1107
01:07:02,313 --> 01:07:04,583
I believe there's a section
of the Constitution...
1108
01:07:04,649 --> 01:07:07,879
about the government's right to acquire
land that hasn't been tested.
1109
01:07:07,946 --> 01:07:10,019
But Dennis tested it.
1110
01:07:10,090 --> 01:07:13,954
Well, I-I think we
could test it better.
1111
01:07:14,028 --> 01:07:18,120
Anyway, I would like
to appear on your behalf... gratis.
1112
01:07:19,277 --> 01:07:22,408
- No fee.
- Well, no, we couldn't.
1113
01:07:22,479 --> 01:07:24,899
I've done pretty well
out of this law caper over the years,
1114
01:07:24,974 --> 01:07:27,844
- so if you're happy for me
to take it further--
-Further?
1115
01:07:27,919 --> 01:07:30,919
But we've been
to the federal court.
1116
01:07:30,991 --> 01:07:33,327
How much further
can we take it?
1117
01:07:33,424 --> 01:07:35,247
Three weeks later...
1118
01:07:35,312 --> 01:07:39,307
Dad went to the High Court
of Australia, which is the
highest court in Australia.
1119
01:07:39,378 --> 01:07:42,280
Lawrie asked Dennis to be
his instructing solicitor.
1120
01:07:42,354 --> 01:07:45,584
Dennis was stoked,
but shittin' himself at the same time.
1121
01:07:45,651 --> 01:07:48,041
I'm shittin' myself.
1122
01:07:48,116 --> 01:07:51,979
- Shall we?
- Let's stick it up 'em.
1123
01:07:54,518 --> 01:07:56,852
And so Dad, or as he
was called by the judge--
1124
01:07:56,917 --> 01:07:59,668
Darryl John Kerrigan--
1125
01:07:59,734 --> 01:08:01,971
sat in the High Court
of Australia and put his case.
1126
01:08:02,039 --> 01:08:04,212
Or at least
Mr. Hammill did.
1127
01:08:04,281 --> 01:08:08,559
Dennis was very helpful too.
He was passing books around
like a librarian.
1128
01:08:08,633 --> 01:08:11,666
He even learnt Roman numerals
especially for the trip.
1129
01:08:11,737 --> 01:08:15,733
Um, paragraph, uh... 31.
1130
01:08:15,803 --> 01:08:19,001
- Thank you, Dennis.
- But Dad reckoned there
was no doubt about it.
1131
01:08:19,068 --> 01:08:22,198
From the moment he stood up,
Mr. Hammill was the star of the show.
1132
01:08:22,268 --> 01:08:25,814
Section 51,
paragraph 31.
1133
01:08:25,886 --> 01:08:28,734
"The parliament shall
have power to make laws...
1134
01:08:28,798 --> 01:08:33,818
with respect to the acquisition
of property on just terms."
1135
01:08:33,886 --> 01:08:36,756
Let's think about those words,
"on just terms" ...
1136
01:08:36,831 --> 01:08:39,417
and how they relate
to real people.
1137
01:08:39,488 --> 01:08:41,877
Your Honor, my client
built his home by the law,
1138
01:08:41,952 --> 01:08:44,604
in full accordance
with the law.
1139
01:08:44,673 --> 01:08:47,063
He doesn't know
about the extensions.
1140
01:08:47,139 --> 01:08:49,278
But does he have
the protection of the law?
1141
01:08:49,346 --> 01:08:53,603
How can the forcible removal
of a family, a good family,
from their home...
1142
01:08:53,667 --> 01:08:56,667
have the blessing
of our Constitution?
1143
01:08:56,740 --> 01:08:59,970
How can that be...
"just terms" ?
1144
01:09:00,037 --> 01:09:02,142
Dad reckoned it
was in the bag,
1145
01:09:02,212 --> 01:09:05,924
even though they had five times
more lawyers than we did.
1146
01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:08,805
My client has adhered
to the law, every law,
1147
01:09:08,871 --> 01:09:12,800
every statute from the Town Planning Act
to Civil Aviation Regulations.
1148
01:09:12,872 --> 01:09:16,036
But in what can only be described
as a last desperate measure,
1149
01:09:16,104 --> 01:09:20,328
my client is accused
of breaching none other
than the Constitution.
1150
01:09:20,393 --> 01:09:23,328
I mean, good Lord,
what else are we guilty of?
1151
01:09:23,403 --> 01:09:26,305
lnternational war crimes, hmm?
1152
01:09:26,380 --> 01:09:28,997
He's even paid people
to laugh for him.
1153
01:09:29,068 --> 01:09:32,363
I refer the court to His Honor
Mr. Justice Dixon's decision...
1154
01:09:32,429 --> 01:09:34,283
in Grace Brothers
and the Commonwealth.
1155
01:09:34,349 --> 01:09:37,514
As much as Dad hated to admit
it the other lawyer was good,
1156
01:09:37,582 --> 01:09:40,167
and he was gonna give us
a real run for our money.
1157
01:09:40,238 --> 01:09:42,094
A safeguard
to the commonwealth.
1158
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:46,161
But if Mr. Hammill was worried,
he didn't show it. He kept right on at 'em.
1159
01:09:46,162 --> 01:09:48,550
...has acquired the status
of a constitutional guarantee,
1160
01:09:48,626 --> 01:09:50,729
which is designed
to protect the individual--
1161
01:09:50,801 --> 01:09:53,354
But everything he said,
they had an answer for.
1162
01:09:53,426 --> 01:09:56,841
- Your Honor, that statement
was obiter dictum.
- Was not!
1163
01:10:00,019 --> 01:10:02,322
Well, it wasn't.
1164
01:10:02,389 --> 01:10:04,560
- Was it?
- I don't know.
1165
01:10:04,628 --> 01:10:08,720
The interpretation of
"on just terms" was considered
in the Tasmanian Dams case.
1166
01:10:08,790 --> 01:10:12,817
The court took into account
the interests of the community,
1167
01:10:12,887 --> 01:10:15,822
such as, uh,
job creation--
1168
01:10:15,895 --> 01:10:18,416
Dad reckoned Dennis got
the hang of things real quick.
1169
01:10:18,488 --> 01:10:22,711
The main job of the senior counsel
was to provide backup for the Q.C.
1170
01:10:22,776 --> 01:10:26,355
Ah, yes. And this is further underlined
in Georgiades--
1171
01:10:26,426 --> 01:10:29,656
- And that's what Dennis did.
- Ah, utilitarianism.
1172
01:10:29,723 --> 01:10:32,473
The greatest good
for the greatest number.
1173
01:10:32,540 --> 01:10:35,410
But what this principle
fails to--
1174
01:10:41,790 --> 01:10:44,572
What this principle fails to take
into account...
1175
01:10:44,638 --> 01:10:48,502
is that competing rights cannot
be weighed one against the other.
1176
01:10:48,576 --> 01:10:52,025
Is a family's right to live freely
in their home outweighed--
1177
01:10:52,096 --> 01:10:54,333
It wasn't just
legal argument.
1178
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,020
Mr. Hammill even put jokes in,
clever jokes.
1179
01:10:57,090 --> 01:11:00,505
...not that our children
will have a place to live,
1180
01:11:00,578 --> 01:11:04,539
but whether they'll have prompt delivery
of their parcels.
1181
01:11:04,611 --> 01:11:07,262
Dad thought
it was real funny,
1182
01:11:07,332 --> 01:11:09,536
even though he
didn't get it.
1183
01:11:09,605 --> 01:11:12,605
Suffer in your jocks.
1184
01:11:12,678 --> 01:11:16,672
In fact, there were
a lot of times he didn't quite
understand what was being said,
1185
01:11:16,741 --> 01:11:20,486
but one time he knew exactly
what was being said.
1186
01:11:20,552 --> 01:11:23,781
He's even approached
the appellant with an offer
of compensation,
1187
01:11:23,848 --> 01:11:28,389
a generous offer considering
the nature of the, uh, dwelling,
1188
01:11:28,458 --> 01:11:31,425
or as it might more accurately
be called, eyesore.
1189
01:11:31,497 --> 01:11:34,084
- What are you calling an eyesore?
- Darryl.
1190
01:11:34,155 --> 01:11:36,392
It's called a home,
you dickhead!
1191
01:11:36,459 --> 01:11:38,314
- Your Honor.
- Darryl!
1192
01:11:38,379 --> 01:11:41,226
It's a bloody fine one. If there
were more homes like that, we'd--
1193
01:11:41,292 --> 01:11:44,010
Have the jails full
of people like your son?
1194
01:11:44,076 --> 01:11:46,946
- Ah, this bloody asshole!
- Sit down, Darryl.
1195
01:11:47,021 --> 01:11:49,542
Mr. Hammill, I'm calling
an adjournment.
1196
01:11:49,614 --> 01:11:54,351
And I trust that your client
will, in the meantime, compose himself.
1197
01:11:54,416 --> 01:11:59,567
Mr. Lyle, I'll thank you
not to make any further value
judgments in this court.
1198
01:11:59,633 --> 01:12:01,576
I'm sorry, Lawrie.
1199
01:12:01,649 --> 01:12:03,559
That's all right, Darryl.
1200
01:12:03,633 --> 01:12:05,575
I was thinking
the same thing,
1201
01:12:05,651 --> 01:12:08,138
though not
in those words.
1202
01:12:08,210 --> 01:12:11,113
I wish I had your words.
1203
01:12:11,188 --> 01:12:13,043
How dare they?
1204
01:12:13,108 --> 01:12:14,963
I mean, an eyesore!
1205
01:12:15,028 --> 01:12:18,258
I mean, that--
that just goes to show
that they don't get it.
1206
01:12:18,325 --> 01:12:20,660
I mean, they're judging the place
by what it looks like,
1207
01:12:20,725 --> 01:12:25,615
and if it doesn't have
a pool or a classy front
or a big garden--
1208
01:12:25,687 --> 01:12:27,694
It's got a pretty good gate.
1209
01:12:27,768 --> 01:12:31,795
And then because of that,
it's not worth saving.
1210
01:12:31,865 --> 01:12:35,444
But it's not a house.
It's a home.
1211
01:12:35,513 --> 01:12:38,002
It's got everything.
1212
01:12:38,074 --> 01:12:41,620
People who love each other,
care for each other.
1213
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:43,633
It's got memories.
1214
01:12:43,707 --> 01:12:45,650
Great memories.
1215
01:12:45,725 --> 01:12:49,467
It's a place
for the family to turn to,
1216
01:12:49,532 --> 01:12:52,021
come back to.
1217
01:12:52,093 --> 01:12:56,666
But that doesn't seem to mean as much
as a big fuckin' driveway.
1218
01:12:56,734 --> 01:12:59,802
Later it was time
for Mr. Hammill to sum up.
1219
01:12:59,872 --> 01:13:03,221
Dad said
he was unbelievable.
1220
01:13:03,296 --> 01:13:06,230
He reckoned he finished
like a champion greyhound.
1221
01:13:06,304 --> 01:13:07,650
People who love each other--
1222
01:13:07,651 --> 01:13:10,284
He quoted cases, he quoted laws.
1223
01:13:10,543 --> 01:13:14,267
But Dad nearly fell off
his chair when Mr. Hammill
finished by quoting Dad,
1224
01:13:14,338 --> 01:13:16,193
only better.
1225
01:13:16,258 --> 01:13:19,455
And somehow that's not worth
as much as a big driveway.
1226
01:13:19,524 --> 01:13:24,413
You may think our appeal
is based on emotion rather than law.
1227
01:13:24,485 --> 01:13:26,526
Not true.
1228
01:13:26,598 --> 01:13:30,689
It's about the highest law in
this country, the Constitution,
1229
01:13:30,759 --> 01:13:34,372
and one phrase within it:
"on just terms."
1230
01:13:36,905 --> 01:13:40,221
That's what this
is all about-- being just.
1231
01:13:40,296 --> 01:13:43,713
They want to pay only
for the house.
1232
01:13:43,785 --> 01:13:47,616
But they're taking away
more than that, so much more.
1233
01:13:47,691 --> 01:13:50,823
Sure, the Kerrigans
built a house,
1234
01:13:50,892 --> 01:13:53,543
then they built a home,
and then a family.
1235
01:13:53,612 --> 01:13:57,836
You can acquire a house,
1236
01:13:57,901 --> 01:14:00,584
but you can't
acquire a home,
1237
01:14:00,654 --> 01:14:03,338
because a home is not built
of bricks and mortar...
1238
01:14:03,406 --> 01:14:06,953
but love and memories.
1239
01:14:08,209 --> 01:14:10,347
You can't pay for it,
1240
01:14:10,416 --> 01:14:13,319
and you're just shortchanging
people if you try.
1241
01:14:13,393 --> 01:14:17,671
I can't speak for those
who wrote this document,
1242
01:14:17,746 --> 01:14:21,359
but I'll bet when they put in
the phrase " on just terms,"
1243
01:14:21,426 --> 01:14:24,724
they hoped
it would stop anyone...
1244
01:14:24,788 --> 01:14:29,196
shortchanging someone
like Darryl Kerrigan.
1245
01:14:31,254 --> 01:14:33,872
Thanks, Lawrence.
1246
01:14:39,863 --> 01:14:42,963
Thank you.
1247
01:14:43,031 --> 01:14:47,115
In the end, who knows whether
it was Dad's words or Mr. Hammill
1248
01:14:47,116 --> 01:14:50,563
or even Dennis' note passing--
...but we won the case.
1249
01:14:50,731 --> 01:14:52,593
...in favor
of the appellant.
1250
01:14:52,666 --> 01:14:54,521
Shit.
1251
01:14:56,220 --> 01:14:58,075
That's us.
1252
01:14:58,140 --> 01:15:00,824
Bullshit.
We won?
1253
01:15:00,892 --> 01:15:04,275
- We won.
- You little ripper!
1254
01:15:04,349 --> 01:15:08,245
Thanks, lads.
1255
01:15:08,318 --> 01:15:09,079
We won.
1256
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,682
Dad was stoked
but suitably restrained.
1257
01:15:11,775 --> 01:15:14,645
He reckons the other side
didn't know what to do with themselves.
1258
01:15:14,718 --> 01:15:17,141
Dennis was so stunned,
he went all quiet.
1259
01:15:17,216 --> 01:15:20,762
Dad reckons he almost cried.
In fact, I think he did.
1260
01:15:20,833 --> 01:15:23,354
Mr. Hammill
just sat there for ages.
1261
01:15:23,426 --> 01:15:27,681
He reckoned it was the most satisfying
victory he'd had in 47 years.
1262
01:15:27,747 --> 01:15:31,425
Dad reckons it's important
to be noble in victory,
so he spoke to the other Q.C. ...
1263
01:15:31,491 --> 01:15:32,518
Oh, hey.
1264
01:15:32,519 --> 01:15:34,150
...the one who had a go at Wayne.
1265
01:15:34,293 --> 01:15:36,609
Bad luck.
1266
01:15:36,676 --> 01:15:39,744
You dickhead!
1267
01:15:40,869 --> 01:15:44,253
The case was all over
the news that night.
1268
01:15:44,359 --> 01:15:48,255
Good evening. First tonight,
a landmark decision in
the High Court today...
1269
01:15:48,328 --> 01:15:51,776
has confirmed the age-old saying,
"A man's home is his castle."
1270
01:15:51,849 --> 01:15:56,127
When the huge Air Link
consortium tried to compulsorily
acquire a string of homes...
1271
01:15:56,202 --> 01:15:58,591
on Melbourne's outskirts
earlier this year,
1272
01:15:58,666 --> 01:16:00,936
they didn't expect a fight.
1273
01:16:01,003 --> 01:16:04,452
- Well, they got one.
- It was a
case of Darryl versus Goliath...
1274
01:16:04,523 --> 01:16:06,858
in the High Court
of Australia today.
1275
01:16:06,924 --> 01:16:09,959
Mum reckons it's real funny
how one day you're not famous,
1276
01:16:10,029 --> 01:16:12,102
and then the next day
you are... famous,
1277
01:16:12,173 --> 01:16:14,028
and then you're not
anymore.
1278
01:16:14,093 --> 01:16:18,569
Dad had one of the biggest parties ever
that night back at home.
1279
01:16:18,639 --> 01:16:21,061
He invited everyone
from the neighborhood--
1280
01:16:21,136 --> 01:16:23,110
his friends,
family, in-laws.
1281
01:16:23,185 --> 01:16:26,250
This case has totally regained my faith
in the legal system.
1282
01:16:26,321 --> 01:16:28,150
Mr. Hammill even
brought his son along.
1283
01:16:28,151 --> 01:16:29,993
Really pleased to meet you.
1284
01:16:30,098 --> 01:16:32,619
Everyone was havin'
a real good time,
1285
01:16:36,402 --> 01:16:38,641
especially Mum and Dad.
1286
01:16:38,709 --> 01:16:41,905
I'd never seen them
so happy.
1287
01:16:41,973 --> 01:16:44,144
Dad invited everyone
up to Bonnie Doon.
1288
01:16:44,213 --> 01:16:46,385
I fix for you a special Farouk
pressure system.
1289
01:16:46,453 --> 01:16:50,000
Mr. Hammill said he'd love
to come. I don't think he'd
ever fished for carp.
1290
01:16:50,070 --> 01:16:54,350
Well, that party
went on and on and on.
Dad smiled all night.
1291
01:16:54,489 --> 01:16:56,565
See, this is why we need that patio.
1292
01:16:56,631 --> 01:16:58,869
The victory was reported
in all the papers.
1293
01:16:58,936 --> 01:17:01,752
It became known
as the Kerrigan Decision.
1294
01:17:01,817 --> 01:17:03,825
Jack, don't thank me.
This is the bloke.
1295
01:17:03,898 --> 01:17:07,281
Although Dad said,
as far as he was concerned,
it was Lawrie's victory.
1296
01:17:07,355 --> 01:17:10,323
And don't forget
Dennis here either.
1297
01:17:10,396 --> 01:17:13,745
That was the beginning
of a string of good luck
for our family.
1298
01:17:13,820 --> 01:17:18,163
Six months later
we got notice that Wayne would
soon be eligible for parole.
1299
01:17:18,237 --> 01:17:22,100
Dad rang Mr. Hammill,
who was more than happy
to come out of retirement again.
1300
01:17:22,174 --> 01:17:24,892
Wayne said the parole board
couldn't believe their eyes.
1301
01:17:24,958 --> 01:17:28,342
When Mr. Hammill walked in,
he reckons they granted him
parole out of shock.
1302
01:17:30,336 --> 01:17:32,857
Dennis became very well-known
after the case,
1303
01:17:32,928 --> 01:17:35,297
and people came from everywhere
to hire him.
1304
01:17:35,362 --> 01:17:37,217
He won a very big case,
1305
01:17:37,282 --> 01:17:41,178
a class action against people who put
lead in the landfill 15 years ago.
1306
01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:44,569
I think Mr. Hammill
helped him there too.
Dad is very happy for him.
1307
01:17:44,644 --> 01:17:47,776
He even bought himself
a new photocopier,
1308
01:17:47,845 --> 01:17:50,333
one that never breaks down.
1309
01:17:50,405 --> 01:17:53,754
And guess what. Mr. Hammill did go up
to Bonnie Doon.
1310
01:17:53,829 --> 01:17:56,897
At first Dad thought it was
out of politeness, but it can't be...
1311
01:17:56,966 --> 01:17:59,203
'cause he goes up there
all the time.
1312
01:17:59,272 --> 01:18:03,266
He and Dad still hit it off
as good as they did
the first day they met.
1313
01:18:03,336 --> 01:18:05,442
Coco never won another race,
1314
01:18:05,513 --> 01:18:08,513
but she had a son
which Dad called Son of Coco.
1315
01:18:08,585 --> 01:18:11,455
He hasn't won yet,
but Dad has high hopes.
1316
01:18:11,531 --> 01:18:15,687
Dad did finish the patio
in a Greek style, and the extension,
1317
01:18:15,755 --> 01:18:18,275
and he even put up those big iron gates
that he and Steve...
1318
01:18:18,347 --> 01:18:20,934
had gotten for a bargain
that night in Toorak.
1319
01:18:21,004 --> 01:18:23,306
Steve got back with Kerry,
his old girlfriend.
1320
01:18:23,373 --> 01:18:26,985
Eventually they got married
and had a little boy...
three weeks later.
1321
01:18:27,055 --> 01:18:30,055
"Baby carriage,
still in box."
1322
01:18:30,126 --> 01:18:32,266
Con and Trace
had a kid too.
1323
01:18:32,335 --> 01:18:36,773
He's already taken up kickboxing.
They are great parents.
1324
01:18:37,809 --> 01:18:41,606
Wayne started helping Dad
with the tow truck
and really made a go at it.
1325
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,227
Dad's even more proud of him now
than when he was in jail.
1326
01:18:45,299 --> 01:18:47,404
It was Wayne's idea
to move into tray trucks.
1327
01:18:47,475 --> 01:18:50,062
Pretty soon they had two,
then three, then eight.
1328
01:18:50,131 --> 01:18:52,947
Who knows when it will stop?
Mum reckons 11.
1329
01:18:53,012 --> 01:18:55,565
She's as proud as punch
with all this.
1330
01:18:55,636 --> 01:19:00,307
And guess what. She did take up pottery.
She didn't even need lessons.
1331
01:19:00,373 --> 01:19:04,848
And Dad, well, he reckoned
he'd got everything
he'd ever wished for.
1332
01:19:04,919 --> 01:19:08,629
He often used to sit out on the patio
and just smile to himself.
1333
01:19:08,695 --> 01:19:11,414
And they still live
at 3 Highview Crescent,
1334
01:19:11,481 --> 01:19:13,816
even though it's only
them two livin' in it.
1335
01:19:13,881 --> 01:19:16,337
And Dad still calls it
"his castle."
1336
01:19:19,611 --> 01:19:23,157
My name's Dale Kerrigan,
and that was my story.
