Jasper Jones - 1.mp3 Jeffrey: [00:00:53] Careful. You're dripping juice on Spider-Man. Jeffrey: [00:00:55] The thing about Spider-Man - Jeffrey: [00:00:57] - is that he'd be useless in a place like Corrigan. Charlie: [00:01:01] How do you mean? Jeffrey: [00:01:05] There's nothing for him to swing in between here. Jeffrey: [00:01:08] He needs an urban environment. Jeffrey: [00:01:13] That's why Superman is the greatest superhero. Jeffrey: [00:01:16] He's all-terrain. Charlie: [00:01:17] Superman? He's the worst superhero. Jeffrey: [00:01:20] Excuse me? Charlie: [00:01:21] Superman is boring. He's invulnerable. Charlie: [00:01:23] That's why they invented kryptonite, so he has some kind of weakness. [00:01:27] Batman, he's the best superhero. [00:01:29] Because, well, he's just a guy like me or you. [00:01:33] He doesn't have any superpowers. He's not superhuman. [00:01:36] He has a cape and a mask and arch-enemies. [00:01:38] He's a superhero, no question. [00:01:39] You're not listening, Chuck. [00:01:41] Batman does not possess superpowers. [00:01:44] Therefore he's not super. [00:01:46] You've lost your mind. Batman is a master of martial arts. [00:01:49] He's a detective. He's an inventor. [00:01:51] And given that "super" only means "greater than normal", - [00:01:53] - by that definition, Batman can only be described as a superhero. [00:01:58] You still here, Jeffrey? [00:02:00] Go home, or your parents will think we've stolen you. [00:02:02] I was about to leave in disgust. [00:02:04] You have a very irritating son, Mrs Bucktin. [00:02:07] Why, thank you, Jeffrey. [00:02:08] He's been spitting pips all over your tablecloth. [00:02:12] Oh, you little bugger! [00:02:14] Oh, Charlie! [00:02:38] Courage is resistance to fear, - [00:02:41] - mastery of fear, not absence of fear. [00:02:54] Bed. [00:03:02] Merry Christmas. [00:03:05] Goodnight. [00:04:00] Charlie. Charlie. [00:04:04] It's Jasper. [00:04:06] - Who? - Jasper Jones. [00:04:08] What are you doing here? [00:04:11] I need your help. [00:04:13] Me? Why me? [00:04:17] Come with me. I'll show you. [00:04:21] Where? [00:04:24] Hurry up, Charlie. We've got to go. [00:04:55] I'm right. Didn't hurt. [00:04:58] Come on. Follow me. [00:05:03] Why would Jasper Jones ask for my help? [00:05:07] He's never even spoken to me before. [00:05:09] Jasper! Where are we going? [00:05:14] People in town say he's dangerous. [00:05:18] But I've always wondered what he's really like. [00:06:04] I don't know where he's taking me. [00:06:08] Or why I followed him. [00:06:12] And I don't know how I'm gonna find my way back home. [00:06:51] I can trust you. [00:06:52] - Right, Charlie? - Trust me with what? [00:07:07] Shh! Shh! Shh! [00:07:12] I didn't do it! I swear I didn't do it. [00:07:15] I found her. I found her here tonight. [00:07:20] Charlie, I need your help. [00:07:23] Help me. [00:07:25] Who is it? [00:07:27] It's Laura. [00:07:30] Wishart? [00:07:31] Eliza's sister? [00:07:35] Yeah. [00:07:46] I shouldn't be here. We have to tell the police. [00:07:48] No. No, we can't. [00:07:50] Why not? [00:07:51] Because they'll see that she's been knocked around. [00:07:53] That this is my place. [00:07:55] That that's my rope! [00:07:58] They're gonna say it's me. [00:08:01] Jasper, they're the police. They won't. [00:08:02] Won't they? [00:08:05] Who'd you blame first? [00:08:08] Who did you blame first?! [00:08:13] I can't tell them the truth. [00:08:16] This is Corrigan. [00:08:18] Nobody will believe me. [00:08:22] But I thought you might. [00:08:26] 'Cause you're an outsider like me. [00:08:28] And you're smart. [00:08:32] Please, Charlie. [00:08:35] Help me. [00:08:38] I think I know who did it. [00:08:41] Who? [00:08:43] Mad Jack Lionel. [00:08:44] What, you think? [00:08:46] Been walking past his place for years. [00:08:48] Sometimes I hear him calling out my name. Waving like a lunatic. [00:08:51] He's seen me with Laura too. [00:09:02] What are you doing? [00:09:34] We have to hide her. [00:09:38] Jasper, we're not detectives. We can't just solve this on our own. [00:09:41] We don't have a choice. [00:09:43] You think I want this? [00:09:46] Nobody can know. [00:09:48] Nobody. [00:09:52] Not until we find out who did this. [00:10:12] Help me. [00:10:15] She's still warm. [00:10:18] Please, Charlie. [00:10:29] Grab the rock. [00:11:21] Charlie? [00:11:25] Charlie! [00:11:30] Charlie! [00:11:33] - I'm up! I'm awake! - Get up, or the bin gets your breakfast! [00:11:56] As the Apollo 12 astronauts - [00:11:58] - head back to earth from the moon... [00:11:59] You alright, Charlie? [00:12:03] You feeling a bit crook? [00:12:06] Charlie? [00:12:08] I'm fine. [00:12:12] What happened to your face? [00:12:16] I cut myself. [00:12:18] Sleeping? [00:12:19] - Looks like a shaving cut. - Don't be ridiculous. [00:12:24] Is that what happened? [00:12:25] Leave him. He's embarrassed. [00:12:28] I'll teach you how to do that properly later, mate. [00:12:32] The boy's growing up, Ruthie. [00:12:33] Well, if you're not eating, I suggest you head over to Jeffrey's. [00:12:36] He's been around three times already this morning. [00:12:44] You know what I don't understand? [00:12:46] Mermaids. [00:12:50] Chuck! [00:12:51] - Chuck! - What?! [00:12:53] Mermaids. Why are they considered so sexy? [00:12:57] What are you talking about? [00:12:59] It's because of their... their... [00:13:02] Their boobies? [00:13:03] Sure, but they're half a fish. [00:13:06] You can deep-fry the lower part of their body - [00:13:08] - and that would be delicious. [00:13:11] OK, hypothetical time. [00:13:12] Would you rather have a magnetic head or fart out of your mouth? [00:13:17] Chuck? [00:13:19] Chuck! [00:13:20] Try this one. [00:13:22] Would you rather have a hat made of spiders - [00:13:26] - or have penises for fingers? [00:13:31] So you're choosing the penis fingers, then? [00:13:33] I'm avoiding the question entirely. [00:13:35] It's too stupid even by your standards. [00:13:37] - I've got the bat, man. - Nice line there, son. [00:13:40] Jeffrey, don't take the new ball. [00:13:42] No worries, Chuck. [00:13:43] Yeah, good line. Just need to work on the length. [00:13:48] Pitch it up. Pitch it up to him. [00:13:50] Watch the footwork there! [00:13:53] Eye on the ball! [00:13:56] - Oh, fuck off, Cong! - Oh, shit. [00:14:00] Give it here. [00:14:02] Yeah, cheers, Cong. I'll have that. [00:14:05] Actually, no, you can have it. [00:14:07] No, Cong, just take it. [00:14:09] Cong, I'm giving it to you. [00:14:12] Actually, you know what? You can have my shit ball. [00:14:15] Good on you! [00:14:17] - Yeah, Warwick! - God, he's hopeless. [00:14:22] Why does he always show up here? [00:14:36] Why are we at Mad Jack Lionel's? [00:14:39] Well, you think it's true? [00:14:40] What? [00:14:41] That he murdered someone? [00:14:43] Of course it is. Everybody knows. [00:14:46] Knows what? [00:14:48] He came back from the war deranged. [00:14:51] He got addicted to killing. [00:14:53] And that's why he worked at the abattoir. [00:14:56] That's where it all happened. [00:14:58] What happened? [00:15:00] They reckon that he shot a woman and dragged her back there. [00:15:03] They said that he hung her up and bled her out. [00:15:06] - Hung her up? - That's what they say. [00:15:09] How... how do I not know this? [00:15:11] 'Cause you're an idiot. [00:15:14] Come on! [00:15:30] Ward Austin! [00:15:32] Jackie Weaver... [00:15:36] You will find out on Personality Squares! [00:16:06] Find out what you can. [00:16:08] And don't say anything to anyone. [00:16:10] I'll be back as soon as I can. [00:16:23] Oh, hello, Maureen. [00:16:24] Yeah, yeah, we are, but it's fine. [00:16:27] No. No, I haven't. [00:16:32] Oh, my goodness. Really? [00:16:35] Oh. That's awful. [00:16:37] Well, I mean... Gwen must be beside herself. [00:16:41] Yeah, yeah, of course. [00:16:43] No. No, I appreciate the call. Yeah, thank you, Maureen. [00:16:46] Yes, I will. [00:16:48] OK. Bye. [00:16:52] Charlie? [00:16:58] - Could you knock? - If you go to Jeffrey's tomorrow, [00:16:59] I want you to stay on the street so I can see you. [00:17:02] Why? [00:17:04] Because I said so. [00:17:05] Has something happened? [00:17:07] Not anything that's a concern of yours. [00:17:09] But something has happened? [00:17:10] Not anything that's a concern of yours. [00:17:12] Is someone in trouble? [00:17:14] Yes. You, if you don't stop giving me the third degree. [00:17:19] Now, please, just do as I ask tomorrow. [00:17:22] Thank you. [00:17:24] And clean up this room. [00:17:27] Just joking. It's... pretty neat. [00:18:41] Ah. Eliza Wishart. [00:18:44] - Your book has come in. - Thank you. [00:18:52] It's just under... here. [00:18:57] OK. [00:19:16] Ah. Here it is. [00:19:40] Thank you. [00:19:49] Charlie, wait. [00:19:53] I'll be out in a second. [00:19:57] Sign there. [00:20:13] "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Have you read it? [00:20:17] Me neither. [00:20:18] I've seen the film three times, but Mum won't let me buy the book. [00:20:21] So I got Mr Daglish to order it for me. [00:20:24] I told Mr Daglish "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a book about a girl - [00:20:27] - who's famous for making omelettes. [00:20:30] I don't think he's read a book written this century. [00:20:33] Have you seen the film? [00:20:34] Audrey Hepburn is perfect. [00:20:37] She's so pretty and dignified. [00:20:40] I wish I was Holly Golightly in my own apartment in Manhattan. [00:20:43] I would love that too. [00:20:44] Well, you could be Paul. He lives next door. He's a writer. [00:20:48] - That's what I want to be. - Really? [00:20:51] Well, that's perfect. [00:20:52] We can go to the New York Public Library together - [00:20:54] - and sign a copy of your book. [00:21:05] There's so many policemen in town. [00:21:08] You haven't heard? [00:21:11] Heard what? [00:21:16] It's because of my sister. [00:21:20] What happened? [00:21:23] She's gone missing. [00:21:25] I didn't know. [00:21:28] Do they know where she might have gone? [00:21:30] They don't know anything. [00:21:39] I need you to take this. Quick. [00:21:42] Promise you won't read it before me, OK? [00:21:44] - OK. - Just keep it safe. [00:21:51] Stupid, stupid little girl! [00:21:53] Where have you been? [00:21:55] I was meeting Charlie at the library. I told Dad before I left. [00:21:57] Don't tell me lies! Come with me, now! [00:22:14] I told you to stay in the street! [00:22:17] Calm down. [00:22:18] Don't you tell me to calm down, Charles Bucktin! [00:22:22] Where were you? [00:22:23] - At Jeffrey's. - Don't... [00:22:26] Don't lie to me! [00:22:28] I was just at the library. [00:22:31] This is 'your' fault. [00:22:33] This obsession with books. [00:22:35] What did I say to you last night? [00:22:36] I said stay in the street where I can see you. [00:22:39] - Ruth, come on, love... - No! [00:22:40] Don't undermine me. This is important. [00:22:44] There is a girl missing! [00:22:47] Do you understand? [00:22:49] Laura Wishart, Gwen's girl. [00:22:51] No-one's seen her since Christmas Day. Anything could have happened to her. [00:22:53] And that is why I asked you to stay close by! [00:22:57] - I didn't know. - Yeah, of course you didn't know! [00:22:59] Because as much as you would like to think of yourself as Errol Flynn, - [00:23:02] - you're still a boy! [00:23:40] Hi, Jude. [00:23:48] Chuck, pick a card. [00:23:50] Pick a card. [00:23:51] Just put them away. [00:23:54] Everyone's attention, please. Quieten down. [00:23:58] Thank you. [00:24:00] Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for turning out this evening - [00:24:03] - in response to what are some very concerning circumstances. [00:24:07] As many of you are aware, - [00:24:09] - Laura Wishart, the daughter of our shire president, - [00:24:12] - Pete, and his wife, Gwen, - [00:24:14] - has not been seen since Christmas Day. [00:24:17] So, tomorrow, - [00:24:19] - with the assistance of the West Australian Police Force, - [00:24:21] - we will be conducting a district-wide search, - [00:24:24] - and we are asking that any of you who can spare the time - [00:24:26] - to please volunteer. [00:24:29] Now, the muster point will be here at 5:30 am. [00:24:33] Spotter planes will be in operation - [00:24:36] - and dive teams will be combing the river. [00:24:39] Furthermore, all residents who are under the age of 18 - [00:24:43] - must remain in their homes after sunset. [00:24:48] At this point, [00:24:50] I'd like to hand over to Pete Wishart to say a few words. [00:24:52] It has to be magic. I told you. [00:24:56] Good evening. [00:24:59] It means a great deal to us to... [00:25:01] See so many of you here tonight. [00:25:04] It's particularly humbling to see - [00:25:06] - Brian and Sue Findlay in attendance, - [00:25:09] - having tragically lost their boy Danny in Vietnam overnight. [00:25:12] Now, I think I can speak for the whole town when I say - [00:25:15] - that our thoughts and our prayers are with you both. [00:25:19] At this time of year, - [00:25:21] - we're all reminded of the importance of family - [00:25:24] - and the value of community, but... [00:25:27] It's never been more clear to me than it is right now, - [00:25:30] - and I just want to thank each and every one of you - [00:25:33] - for all your words of compassion and support. [00:25:38] Now, if any of you have any information - [00:25:40] - that might assist us in finding Laura, - [00:25:43] - please, just come forward. [00:25:53] - I'm not hungry. - Here you go. I am. [00:25:58] Your boy doing alright, eh? [00:26:00] Stuffing his face like a pig! [00:26:03] Is your boy alright? [00:26:06] 'Cause mine isn't. [00:26:09] Mine's dead. [00:26:11] My boy's dead! [00:26:19] No, no, no. No more, please. [00:26:33] Your mother's staying here to help pack up the hall. [00:26:36] Nobody helped Mrs Lu. They just watched. [00:26:39] Thanks, Susan. I'll see you tomorrow. [00:26:41] Yes. I know. [00:26:45] Let's get home. [00:26:47] Even the police saw what happened and Miss Findlay can just walk away? [00:26:50] Yes, I know. Just keep it down. [00:26:52] - Mrs Lu didn't hurt anyone. - I know. [00:26:55] Let's talk about this when we get home, alright? [00:26:57] - Goodnight, Peter. - Wesley. [00:27:00] Come on, Charlie. [00:27:11] What do you think happened? [00:27:14] Truthfully... [00:27:17] Before tonight, I would have thought - [00:27:19] - the most logical likelihood is that she's run away. [00:27:23] I've taught Laura for a few years now and... [00:27:26] She's a bit remote. [00:27:29] Wouldn't surprise me if she'd skipped town for the city, - [00:27:32] - and I hope I'm right. [00:27:35] But... [00:27:38] But? [00:27:48] I shouldn't be telling you this... [00:27:51] but when they searched her room, - [00:27:54] - the window was wide open and everything was a mess. [00:27:58] And there was blood on the floor and on her bed. [00:28:04] So, I don't know. [00:28:07] It's very concerning. [00:28:09] Which is why there's such a serious response. [00:28:16] Do they have any suspects? [00:28:19] No, not really. [00:28:21] Although, I have heard talk - [00:28:24] - that they're looking for Jasper Jones. [00:28:27] Wh-Why? [00:28:29] Because they blame that poor kid for everything. [00:28:35] Wait. [00:28:38] What are you working on in there? [00:28:40] In here? [00:28:44] Well, I'm learning the bassoon. [00:28:47] What? [00:28:48] Yeah, that's right. [00:28:50] Do you want to hear me play? [00:28:57] Ooh. [00:28:58] Sounds like more of a trumpet. [00:29:00] Yeah, well, like I said, I'm just learning. [00:29:04] Goodnight, mate. [00:29:29] Charlie! [00:29:35] Jasper, where have you been? [00:29:37] - What happened at the town hall? - They're looking for you. [00:29:40] I know. [00:29:41] They've been staking out my old man's place for the past two days. [00:29:44] Can you come out? [00:29:46] But there's a curfew on. [00:29:58] Wait a second. [00:30:17] Come on. [00:30:21] The lights are on. He might be home. [00:30:23] Jasper, there's no way I'm going in there. [00:30:26] We're not going in. [00:30:29] Just watching. [00:30:40] It's... not my brand. [00:30:47] Come on. [00:31:29] What is it? [00:31:31] Um... it's Pelham's. [00:31:33] I think it's Irish. [00:31:35] Nicked it from my old man. [00:31:38] He goes through it so fast, - [00:31:39] - doesn't notice when it's missing. [00:31:45] Are you worried he'll tell the police where you are? [00:31:49] He wouldn't have a clue. [00:31:51] After my mum died... [00:31:54] He just went to shit. [00:31:57] Well, when did she die? [00:32:01] When I was real young. [00:32:05] Car crash. [00:32:08] I don't remember her at all. [00:32:11] I haven't even seen a photograph. [00:32:15] But I know she's where I get my colour from. [00:32:19] Her people aren't from round here. [00:32:28] Did you love her? Laura? [00:32:33] We were planning to leave together. [00:32:39] When? [00:32:42] As soon as we could. [00:32:46] That's why I've been gone these past couple of months. [00:32:49] Been out Donnybrook way picking stone fruit. [00:32:56] Didn't get a chance to tell Laura. [00:32:58] Well, why not? [00:33:01] There wasn't time. [00:33:05] I couldn't go near her house during the day. [00:33:11] Think of that. [00:33:14] I could only ever see her when it was dark. [00:33:18] It's like she was a dream or something. [00:33:27] I came back Christmas night... [00:33:30] With enough money to get us out. [00:33:34] Went straight to her window... [00:33:40] And she was gone. [00:33:42] And then you came here. [00:33:49] I heard her screaming. [00:33:54] And then I found her. [00:33:57] I never should have left. [00:34:00] I should have stayed here. [00:34:03] It's not your fault. Enough people blame you already. [00:34:05] Someone else did this. [00:34:07] I let her down. [00:34:11] Is that why you wrote that? [00:34:13] What? [00:34:15] On the tree. [00:34:28] What does it say? [00:34:30] Uh... [00:34:33] - You wrote it, didn't you? - What does it say?! [00:34:36] It says "sorry". [00:34:39] - You mean you didn't write it? - No. [00:34:42] Then who did? [00:34:44] It had to be... it had to be Mad Jack. [00:34:47] He's been back here. Last night. [00:34:50] What if he's here, Jasper?! [00:34:54] Jasper, he could be right now! [00:34:57] He could be here. We have to go. [00:34:59] - No, Charlie. Wait. - I'm leaving! [00:35:01] Charlie, wait! [00:37:03] Wait. I want to go with you. [00:37:08] Close that door. You stay right where you are. [00:37:11] - But why? I want to help. - You can help by staying home and safe. [00:37:14] You listen to your mother. [00:37:23] Alright, come on. Come here. Come here. [00:37:26] Get inside. [00:37:28] Come here. Come here. [00:38:05] I'm going to Jeffrey's. [00:38:06] Alright. [00:38:14] Come on, boy! Come on, then! [00:39:15] Come here, you little mongrel! [00:39:21] Hey! [00:39:25] Charlie! [00:39:28] Hi. [00:39:29] Uh, h-hi. [00:39:31] I just came to renew the loan on my book. [00:39:35] My bag. [00:39:37] What? [00:39:40] Actually, uh... that's not true at all. [00:39:43] I've been waiting around here the past couple of days - [00:39:45] - hoping I might see you. [00:39:47] What? [00:39:49] Charlie, are you alright? [00:39:51] I'm fine. Completely fine. Nothing. It's... [00:39:56] Is that a knife? [00:39:59] No. [00:40:00] I mean... I mean, yes, it is, but it's not. [00:40:05] Did you maybe want to walk me home again? [00:40:08] I can't. [00:40:09] Really? [00:40:11] I'm sorry, I have to go. [00:40:47] Speaking of good times, here come the Easybeats. [00:41:09] Oh! [00:41:24] Ha-ha! [00:41:38] What happened? Did they find anything? [00:41:40] No. [00:41:42] Nothing. [00:41:43] Not even a trace. [00:41:45] Jesus Christ, that poor girl. [00:42:24] Jesus, Jasper, what happened? [00:42:27] The sarge. [00:42:29] The prick kicked me in the ear. [00:42:32] It's still ringing. [00:42:35] Sarge? [00:42:39] I didn't think they'd ever let you go. [00:42:42] They didn't. [00:42:43] So, how did you get out? [00:42:45] Tricked one of the city coppers. [00:42:48] Told him I had to take a shit, went straight out the window. [00:42:52] - That's amazing. - Yeah. [00:42:55] They'll be looking for me harder than ever now. [00:42:58] I have to show you something. [00:43:10] Look. [00:43:11] Look, it's the same as the tree. [00:43:14] "Sorry". [00:43:17] It says: "sorry". [00:43:26] What are you doing?! [00:43:28] Jasper! [00:43:51] Mmm. Yeah. Nah, it's OK. [00:43:54] Oh, no, no, no, no, no! My bag! [00:43:57] - What? - He's got my bag! [00:44:01] Eliza's book. [00:44:17] It was a bug! [00:44:19] Who's there? [00:44:21] Who's there?! [00:44:23] Hey! [00:44:26] Aarggh! [00:44:29] Charlie! [00:44:32] - Hey! - Jasper! [00:44:36] Get out of here, you little bastards! [00:44:38] I know you did it! [00:44:40] I know you did it! [00:44:46] Jasper?! [00:44:48] We have to go back. [00:44:50] He did it. He killed her. [00:44:52] I know, but you can't even stand. [00:44:55] We have to go back. We have to. [00:44:58] Not now. [00:44:59] What about New Year's Eve? [00:45:02] When everyone's at the fireworks, we can go back then. [00:45:12] Promise? [00:45:14] I promise. [00:45:45] Stay here. [00:45:50] Charlie Bucktin. [00:45:54] What are you doing here? [00:45:56] Hmm? [00:45:59] Get in the car. [00:46:02] Come on. [00:46:25] Oh! [00:46:26] We didn't do anything wrong. [00:46:30] - Hmm? - I didn't do anything. [00:46:36] Oh! Thank goodness! I thought I'd lost you! [00:46:40] Are you alright? [00:46:42] Oh, God! [00:46:46] Get inside. [00:46:57] - Come on, inside. - Jesus, Chuck. [00:46:59] - Inside. - Are you alright? [00:47:08] Well, where were you?! We were worried about you! [00:47:13] Now... Hey! [00:47:14] You said, "We didn't do anything wrong." [00:47:16] Now, who's "we"? [00:47:18] Nobody. [00:47:20] Do you think I'm playing with you, son? Hmm? [00:47:24] Who were you with? [00:47:26] Charlie. Tell the truth. [00:47:32] Uh... Eliza. [00:47:33] - Wishart? - Yes. [00:47:35] Why? [00:47:37] Because I was worried about her. [00:47:39] I... I just wanted to make sure she was alright. [00:47:42] We're... we're fond of each other. [00:47:47] "Fond of each other"? [00:47:51] Did you ever stop to consider [00:47:53] that maybe the last thing the Wishart family needs right now - [00:47:56] - is a young man prowling around their home? [00:47:58] - Hmm? - No, sir. I'm sorry. [00:47:59] Sorry? [00:48:03] So am I. We're done. [00:48:07] 'Night, Romeo. [00:48:08] We appreciate you bringing him home. [00:48:17] Now, Charlie, I think you need to get to bed and stay there. [00:48:23] What, that's it? [00:48:25] No wonder he thinks he can cavort around town whenever he feels like it! [00:48:29] Ruth, he's growing up. [00:48:31] You were slipping out to go dancing with the G.I.'s at his age. [00:48:34] That is completely irrelevant! [00:48:36] He could have died, Wesley! We don't know who's out there! [00:48:39] I agree. [00:48:40] But screaming at him isn't gonna reinforce the point. [00:48:43] What's your solution? Do nothing? [00:48:45] Just disappear in there and write a bloody story about it? [00:48:48] Wes Bucktin, the disappearing man! [00:48:51] You know, some of us can't just shut the door and avoid living here! [00:48:54] Oh, Jesus Christ! Are you two ever gonna listen to me?! [00:48:58] I am fed up! Fed up! [00:49:02] Now, I love you, Charles Bucktin, and I am glad you're alive, - [00:49:05] - but tomorrow, you're gonna wish you weren't! [00:49:08] Now, get out of my sight! [00:49:22] Now. Dig. [00:49:25] What? Why? [00:49:27] Because I said so! [00:49:29] - How deep? - I'll tell you when to stop. [00:49:37] Chop chop! [00:50:20] I didn't say you could stop. [00:50:39] What is this even for? I don't understand why I'm doing this. [00:50:42] Well, I don't understand you at all, Charlie Bucktin. [00:50:47] One minute you're avoiding me like I'm contagious, [00:50:49] the next you're telling people we're sneaking out at night together - [00:50:52] - because we're romantically attached. [00:50:54] You know, it's polite to ask a girl first. [00:50:57] - I can explain. - Um, no. [00:51:02] Excuse me. This is not on. [00:51:05] I just came to get something back. [00:51:06] Well, it can wait. [00:51:08] Charlie's working very hard at the moment. [00:51:10] Let him finish up, thank you. [00:51:15] Go on. [00:51:17] Does your mother know you're traipsing around town on your own? [00:51:21] I think you should be at home right now, don't you? [00:51:29] Right. You can stop. [00:51:32] Oh, no, you don't. [00:51:35] I want you to fill it in. [00:51:37] - What? - Fill it in. [00:51:38] I don't want some dirty great big hole in my backyard. [00:51:40] If you didn't want a hole, then why did you ask for it? [00:51:42] There you are. You've learnt your lesson. [00:51:44] Now, I'm heading out, - [00:51:46] - and I want this filled in by the time I get back, [00:51:48] or you'll be doing it all again tomorrow, young man. [00:52:04] - What's this? - I bought myself a car! [00:52:07] Isn't she a beauty?! [00:52:09] I don't understand, Ruth. [00:52:12] You want to s... do you want to sell the Holden? [00:52:15] 'Cause I'll need to get Ernie Banks [00:52:16] to replace the crankshaft. It's stuffed! [00:52:18] No, I don't want you to sell the Holden, Wesley. [00:52:21] Then... [00:52:24] So... who wants to come for a spin? Charlie. [00:52:26] Charlie, you'll need to get cleaned up. Have you filled the hole in? [00:52:33] Fine. [00:52:35] I'll go by myself. [00:52:48] Here you are, mate. You get inside. [00:52:54] Go on. [00:53:25] Jesus, Dad! [00:53:27] How are you doing? [00:53:28] I'm tickety-boo. Had a great day. [00:53:33] Why would she make me do it? [00:53:35] I should have buried her in there. [00:53:38] Mate, you scared her last night. [00:53:40] You're a smart kid, but what you did was colossally stupid. [00:53:44] Today was... [00:53:47] Just her way of telling you all that. [00:53:49] And I don't blame her. [00:53:53] So, whenever she gets back, [00:53:55] I... think you should offer her a sincere apology. [00:53:57] You want me to apologise?! [00:53:59] Yes. [00:54:03] You should consider yourself lucky that you've got a mother - [00:54:06] - that cares about you so very much. [00:54:09] A lot of people never get that. [00:54:14] So, do you want me to make us some dinner? [00:54:16] Haven't I been punished enough? [00:54:21] You're just like her, your mother. [00:54:25] You're peas in a pod, you two. [00:54:35] Go, Corrigan! [00:54:37] Good turnout today. It's a beautiful day. [00:54:46] Where have you been? [00:54:46] The game's almost over. We're getting thumped! [00:54:49] - Why are you padded up? - I'm in next. [00:54:53] - What?! - I'm in next. [00:54:54] I'm playing, officially. Jeffrey Lu on debut. [00:54:58] How? [00:54:59] David Doe rolled his ankle, so I'm in the 11. Yes! [00:55:03] - So you're actually gonna bat? - Sure am. [00:55:06] We need 60 runs in a hurry. [00:55:08] Jesus, Jeffrey. Are you nervous? [00:55:10] No. But you should be. Have you seen your girlfriend up there? [00:55:15] So, go read her some poetry. I need to focus. [00:55:18] This town needs a hero. [00:55:21] Go on, go! [00:55:28] Sassy time! [00:55:36] - Shot! - Very nice. [00:55:53] I was hoping you might be here. [00:55:56] Really? [00:55:58] Why? [00:56:01] May I sit? [00:56:13] What are you reading? [00:56:14] Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. [00:56:17] Is it good? [00:56:22] You know, Alice really has an awful time. [00:56:26] She's so lost and nobody helps her. [00:56:29] They're all so mean and selfish. [00:56:32] Sounds like "Charlie's Adventures in Corrigan." [00:56:35] Eliza's too. [00:56:40] You know, the annoying thing is [00:56:43] I still kind of wish you had come over. [00:56:47] Really? [00:56:49] Our house is so... empty. [00:56:55] I'm sorry. [00:57:03] I'm not a good person, Charlie. [00:57:05] Don't say that. You're wonderful. [00:57:06] I'm not. I'm really not. [00:57:11] I might have already used it, but... [00:57:34] Would you rather have a hat made of spiders or penises for fingers? [00:57:45] Are the spiders alive? [00:57:47] Yes, and they're poisonous and angry. [00:57:53] Well... [00:57:55] I'm gonna have to go with the penis fingers. [00:57:59] Wise choice. [00:58:00] You too? [00:58:09] So, where were you really that night? [00:58:14] That's out. [00:58:21] That's Jeffrey! He's actually gonna bat! [00:58:23] Hmm? [00:58:26] They never pick him. [00:58:28] This is it. This is his chance. [00:58:32] Hey, look at that. Oh! [00:58:36] You don't belong on this field, mate. [00:58:37] We're going home. There's no point. [00:58:39] Oh, let's go home. Hopeless. See you, Marge. [00:58:44] Look at them. They're leaving already. [00:58:48] You don't belong here, Cong. [00:58:50] - Come on. - Come on, Will. [00:58:52] He shouldn't even be here. [00:58:55] That's hilarious! [00:59:01] Come on, Jeffrey. [00:59:02] Go on, Will. [00:59:07] Ooh! [00:59:11] Shot! [00:59:19] Come on, Jeffrey. [00:59:21] - Four runs. - Beautiful! [00:59:33] Four runs. [00:59:34] Unbelievable! [00:59:36] We can win this. [00:59:37] How many points do we need? [00:59:39] - Runs. - How many runs do we need? [00:59:42] A lot. [00:59:46] He's seeding them like a watermelon! [01:00:01] - You little ripper! - Well done! Well done! [01:00:07] There's two balls left. We need four to win. [01:00:10] OK. Here's what we do... [01:00:15] No worries. [01:00:16] He's going to do it. He's gonna beat them. [01:00:20] Just take your time, son. [01:00:26] Oh, that's got to be a wide! [01:00:33] - Come on, ump! - Oh, come on, ump! [01:00:37] It's the last ball. He has to, he just has to. [01:00:59] Stumps! Win to Corrigan! [01:01:03] - What a champion! - Go, Jeffrey! [01:01:05] Yes! [01:01:16] Jeffrey! Yeah, Jeffrey! [01:01:23] Charlie, would you really sneak out to meet me? [01:01:26] I would. [01:01:28] Then how about tomorrow night? At the New Year's Eve fair? [01:01:32] During the fireworks? [01:01:35] And bring my book. [01:01:37] It's really important. [01:01:48] - It's your turn. Come on. - Anytime this week, Charles. [01:01:51] I know. [01:01:52] Hurry up. [01:02:13] - Already? - Again? [01:02:15] I'll add 'em up, boys. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. [01:02:18] I never understood that whole shooting fish in a barrel. [01:02:21] Just why not drain them out? Why bring guns into it? [01:02:24] Oh, never underestimate a man's dumb desire to shoot at something, love. [01:02:29] Do you think Mad Jack Lionel shot someone? [01:02:34] Why would you ask that? [01:02:36] I don't know. I ju... [01:02:39] Do you think he has something to do - [01:02:41] - with Laura Wishart's disappearance? [01:02:46] What's that? [01:02:54] - Get out here! [01:02:56] - Get out here, you rat! - Come on! [01:02:59] Stay here. Stay inside. [01:03:01] - I'll call Sarge. [01:03:02] You don't want to fight this war on our turf, do you mate? [01:03:04] Stay here, Charlie. [01:03:05] You coward! [01:03:07] Eh? Yellow-skinned bastard! [01:03:12] Hey, you two! What are you doing? [01:03:14] Hey, stop it! [01:03:15] Get out of my yard, you bastards! [01:03:17] What'd you call me? You... [01:03:19] Enough! Leave him alone! [01:03:21] - No, no, Jeffrey! - Let me go! [01:03:22] - Want some more, eh?! - That is enough! [01:03:25] - Fuck off, Bucktin! - Stop it! [01:03:30] That's enough. Stop it! [01:03:33] - Stop it, please! - Weak as piss! [01:03:36] You know there's a fucking war on?! [01:03:39] Oh! [01:03:40] Pull your heads in! You should be ashamed of yourselves! [01:03:43] You fucking red rats! [01:03:44] Clear out of here! Go on! [01:03:48] Charlie! Charlie, watch yourself! [01:03:57] - Are you alright, An? - I'm OK. Thank you so much. [01:04:04] Charlie, I told you to stay inside! [01:05:04] Come in, son. [01:05:22] This is what I've been working on. [01:05:29] This is my novel. [01:05:33] I'm almost finished. [01:05:36] And I want you to be the first. [01:05:41] The first to read it. [01:05:46] Would you do that for me, son? [01:05:49] I'd be proud to. [01:05:57] You're a good man. [01:06:04] Now, go back to bed. [01:06:14] Ooh. Made a mess of the agapanthus... [01:06:17] An? [01:06:19] Excuse me, An. [01:06:23] It's very, very nice of you. Thank you. [01:06:27] - Sorry about last night. - We are OK. [01:06:29] They are helping, you know, to fix the fence. [01:06:35] What are you doing? [01:06:37] See, while you're out smooching girls, - [01:06:40] - some of us are honing our skills to keep... [01:06:44] The streets safe. [01:06:47] Are you coming to the fireworks tonight? [01:06:50] Nah. [01:06:52] Just going to stay here. [01:06:55] Well, besides... [01:06:57] The two biggest fireworks in town are right here anyway. [01:07:02] I am one of the true masters, Chuck. [01:07:04] I was thinking about it, - [01:07:06] - and I know why Batman is the greatest superhero. [01:07:10] He's not. [01:07:11] But why? [01:07:15] Courage. [01:07:16] What? [01:07:17] You see, Superman doesn't need courage to stand in front of a bullet - [01:07:20] - because it can't possibly harm him. [01:07:23] But Batman, on the other hand, he has more to lose. [01:07:27] He has to overcome his fears to save people. [01:07:48] - OK, now, don't go too far. - OK, Mum. [01:08:26] - You ready? [01:08:33] Jasper, wait. What are we gonna do? [01:08:35] We're gonna talk to the man. [01:08:37] What?! [01:08:39] He has a gun, Jasper. This is crazy! [01:08:41] Lionel! [01:08:45] - Jasper! - Jack Lionel! [01:09:04] Jasper, is that you? [01:09:06] Yeah, it's me. [01:09:08] Can we have a word? [01:09:14] Yeah, come on up. [01:09:39] G'day. Who's this, then? [01:10:19] Sit down. [01:10:24] Jasper. What are you doing? [01:10:27] Sit down! [01:10:30] Alright, mate. Alright, alright. [01:10:33] Alright. [01:10:34] Now, just... just... just be careful. [01:10:43] I know what you did. [01:10:50] Oh. [01:10:52] So, you admit it? You admit you killed her?! [01:10:58] Yeah. [01:11:02] I wanted to... come and see you, but... [01:11:08] Your dad would have never allowed. [01:11:10] What's my old man got to do with this?! [01:11:12] Well, he's... he's never forgiven me and he never will. [01:11:17] Forgive you for what? For Laura?! [01:11:20] Laura? No, your mum's name was Rosie. [01:11:23] You mention my mother again and I'll put one in your head! [01:11:25] - Jasper, don't! [01:11:28] What about the woman at the abattoir? [01:11:32] What woman at the abattoir? [01:11:35] After the war, when you worked there. [01:11:38] You hung her up like Laura. [01:11:44] No, son, I'm not... I'm not following you at all. [01:11:51] When you... when you wrote "sorry" on the car out there, you... [01:11:55] Yes? [01:12:01] You have no idea who I am, do you? [01:12:05] Yeah, I do. You killed Laura Wishart! [01:12:08] Mate, I don't even know who she is. [01:12:10] Sit down! [01:12:17] Son, maybe you can help us. [01:12:20] You... go and grab that picture up there. [01:12:28] Show it to Jasper. [01:12:31] Take a look. You take a look. [01:12:33] See, that there's Rosie. She's your mum. [01:12:36] Yeah? She's holding 'you', mate. [01:12:40] You recognise your dad? Yeah? [01:12:45] See, he's my son. [01:12:48] Bullshit! [01:12:50] Jasper, he's your grandfather. [01:12:56] Liar! You fucking liar! [01:12:57] - No, Jasper, don't. - Step back! [01:13:01] Jasper, you can do as you wish with that firearm, but... [01:13:05] Will you listen to me first, please? [01:13:11] There's something you need to know. Something I'm ashamed of. [01:13:16] But I've got to tell you. [01:13:21] Alright? [01:13:26] Mate, I disowned your dad when he married your mum. [01:13:34] That's why he took her name, you see? Jones. [01:13:38] That's why he's never been back here, not even once. [01:13:42] But after your grandmother passed away, "my wife" - [01:13:45] - after she died, Rosie started driving around here - [01:13:49] - to look after me and to cook for me. [01:13:54] That's when I realised how wrong I'd been about her. [01:13:58] I'd been so wrong about her. [01:14:00] Yeah, we used to sit together for hours sometimes. [01:14:06] I adored her. [01:14:13] But then one day, mate, she, um... [01:14:17] She was suddenly in a lot of pain - [01:14:19] - and she was grabbing at her sides and she was gasping. [01:14:24] She collapsed. I had to pick her up. [01:14:26] I got her up and I got her into the car. [01:14:30] And she was screaming. [01:14:32] And I panicked. [01:14:35] And, uh... [01:14:40] I drove too fast, mate. I just drove much too fast. [01:14:47] We hit a patch of gravel. [01:14:55] And she died. I killed her. [01:15:02] I always wanted to say how sorry I... am. [01:15:07] I'm just so sorry. [01:15:36] Jasper, I... [01:15:37] Just go! [01:16:49] - What are you doing?! - Charlie! [01:16:52] - You don't say a thing, you understand? - Shut up! [01:16:53] What are you doing here?! You shouldn't be here. [01:16:55] No, you shouldn't be here! [01:16:57] No, no, no. It's not what you think... [01:16:58] Do not touch me! [01:17:00] We are going home! [01:17:02] You do not get to tell me what to do! [01:17:03] And you, you should be doing your job! [01:17:07] Charlie! [01:17:10] Oh, shit! [01:18:32] Eliza, I'm sorry. [01:18:34] Everything is a mess. [01:18:36] Where were you?! [01:18:40] Eliza... [01:18:41] Why can't you ever answer me? [01:18:42] Why can't you just tell me the truth? [01:18:48] Just go home, Charlie. [01:18:50] Eliza, wait. Wait. [01:18:55] You've got to come with me. [01:18:57] There are some things I need to tell you. [01:19:00] About Laura. [01:19:02] I know where she is. [01:19:05] What? [01:19:07] Please come out. I-I can make it right. [01:19:09] I'll show you. [01:19:12] Come on. [01:19:41] It's through here. [01:19:42] Charlie, how do you know? [01:19:43] I'll explain everything. I have to show you. [01:20:06] Eliza... [01:20:10] I have to tell you something about Laura. [01:20:15] She's dead. [01:20:18] She died right here. [01:20:20] I know. [01:20:24] It's my fault. [01:20:32] What's she doing here?! [01:20:33] - You know him? - That's what I wanted to say. [01:20:36] Why'd you bring her here?! [01:20:37] I've been here before. [01:20:39] What? [01:20:40] Jasper, she knows. [01:20:43] - You told her? - No! [01:20:44] I know everything. [01:20:47] Except why you left my sister. How could you? [01:20:51] She loved you. [01:20:52] - I didn't leave her! - Yes, you did. [01:20:59] Charlie, did you bring my book? [01:21:01] Yes. [01:21:03] Right here. [01:21:18] It's for you. [01:21:37] Charlie? [01:21:55] Jasper Jones, - [01:21:57] - you came to my window - [01:21:59] - and you were gentle and you were kind. [01:22:03] But then you didn't come anymore. [01:22:07] You came to my window and you saved me, - [01:22:09] - because the nights you didn't, my father came to my door... [01:22:15] And he wasn't gentle, he wasn't kind. [01:22:20] He betrayed me again and again. [01:22:24] And now that betrayal lives... [01:22:35] And now that betrayal lives and grows inside me. [01:22:39] I can't forgive him - [01:22:42] - and I can't forgive you. [01:22:46] You promised we would leave together. [01:22:49] Now I have to leave on my own. [01:22:56] On that night, my father pushed his way in. [01:23:02] She was yelling and he kept telling her to be quiet, - [01:23:04] - but she wouldn't. [01:23:07] And then he hit her. [01:23:10] And she kept screaming and screaming, and... [01:23:12] and then he was yelling too, and then everything went silent. [01:23:19] Later, I heard her sneaking out. [01:23:23] I followed her... [01:23:26] All the way here. [01:23:33] I saw her climb up... [01:23:37] And sit on that branch for a long time. [01:23:46] And she just... [01:23:48] Seemed really calm. [01:23:53] I should have stopped her. [01:24:00] Then she just dropped. [01:24:04] I ran to her, but I was too late. [01:24:11] Then I heard someone coming. [01:24:14] So I picked up the letter and ran back home. [01:24:20] I came back the next night, but she was gone. [01:24:25] Where is she? What have you done with her? [01:24:43] - Jasper! - What is he doing? [01:25:17] Jasper, stop! [01:25:37] Laura. Laura... [01:26:44] So, you wrote "sorry"? [01:26:46] Yes. I should have helped her. [01:26:49] - Well, we have to tell someone. [01:26:51] We can't trust Sarge. But there has to be someone. [01:27:01] Eliza? [01:27:03] Has he ever...? [01:27:04] No. [01:28:56] She can't do that! [01:29:01] Charlie, you have to go. [01:29:09] Charlie, you have to go now. [01:29:28] Eliza, wait. [01:29:30] I'll see you soon. [01:29:48] What do you want? [01:31:35] What are you doing here, Charlie? [01:31:37] I need to talk to you. [01:31:42] It's about Eliza. [01:31:43] I'm worried about her. I just... [01:31:44] Sarge. The Wishart place is on fire. [01:31:50] It's gonna have to wait. Alright? [01:31:52] OK. [01:33:23] Charlie, wait. [01:33:26] Please. Come on. [01:33:28] Where have you been? [01:33:31] And you're leaving? [01:33:36] I had a long talk with your dad, and... [01:33:40] we decided it's best if, um... [01:33:42] If I just stay up in the city for a while. [01:33:45] Good. [01:33:47] Charlie... [01:33:51] I just need to explain... [01:33:55] I am so sorry. [01:34:00] What I've done is just... it's disgraceful - [01:34:03] - and you should never have had to... [01:34:08] Oh, God. [01:34:11] You're growing up so fast. [01:34:16] What happened to my little boy? [01:34:20] You've got your whole life ahead of you, all you kids. [01:34:26] You're so free. [01:34:31] You know, when I first heard - [01:34:33] - that Laura Wishart might have run away... [01:34:41] I was jealous. [01:34:42] That's an awful thing to say, but I just... [01:34:46] It's how I feel. [01:34:50] I love you... so much. [01:34:57] And I love your father. [01:35:01] I just can't be in this place anymore. [01:35:05] I know. [01:35:25] God! [01:36:06] It's gonna be alright? (Transcribed by Sonix.ai - Remove this message by upgrading your Sonix account)
