just to be sure?

No.

Mmm.

That was easy. There

were only three of 'em.

Thought it was gonna

be way more harder.

You tied up?

I snuck up on these two.

They were just hanging there.

I came through the gate here.

I dug a hole out. Slipped

underneath the fence.

Get the truck over there.

Come on, man.

You want me to drive for a while?

No.

I know I feel comfortable with someone

when I can just sit, not talking to them.

Yeah.

I just like sitting

there, not talking.

I just feel comfortable

sittin' there, you know.

I had a pain in my side real bad.

It's starting to hurt.

I think maybe I gotta

do something with it.

Don't look bad?

Let's put that bandage back on.

I think it broke, man.

You got any fuel?

50 US.

50 Australian.

US dollars.

I'm out of US.

I only take American money.

What's wrong with Australian money?

Either take it or leave it.

It's paper. It's worthless.

Yeah, whatever, mate, I don't care.

It's a piece of f***ing paper!

Take it or leave it.

How much you need, man?

50 US.

Have you got any .38 in there?

Yeah.

Let me get a box of that.

And a box of 9 millimeter

for my friend here.

Thank you kindly.

There's the house.

All them others empty.

They ain't got people

in them anymore.

Are they alone in there?

For now they are.

Until them other people come, but that ain't

gonna be for another week or somethin'.

And there's Gordon, whose

house it is, but he's old.

Real old.

Do you know this?

I know it.

We'll go there in the morning.

There'll be less trouble.

I'm gonna kill him.

I'm going to kill Henry.

Go to sleep.

There's money up there too,

we can take if we want.

Go to sleep.

What you doing?

What you doing?

Just wait there.

They're asleep.

There's two in the back

room. I'll take them.

There's two in the room

on the other side.

If you take them, we'll bring

them into this front room.

Okay? But no shooting.

All right?

Don't say a word.

Slowly lift your

head off the pillow.

What the f***?

Kick your blanket off.

Both of you get up.

Henry.

Henry.

Henry, wake up.

Rey?

You gotta get up.

Rey, what the f***?

You too, Gordon.

You gotta get up. You both

gotta get up outta bed.

What are you doing? Stop

pointing that thing at me.

Don't make me keep saying it.

You got to get up out of bed.

Sit down. Sit.

Sit on your hands.

What's going on in there?

See, Henry?

You gotta get up outta bed.

Rey, who's in there?

He won't get up outta bed.

Put the gun down, Rey.

You put yours down.

Rey, put the gun down.

I ain't playing.

Why are you doing this?

Why did you leave me there?

Leave you where?

You know where. On the

road, when I was shot.

Rey, we thought you was dead.

No.

But I wasn't. But I wasn't

dead and you left me there.

Rey, I thought you was dead.

Now put down the f***in' gun!

You put yours down.

What's going on?

I gotta piss.

Don't you f***in' move.

I thought you was my brother, man.

God damn it, Rey! I am your brother.

Now put down the f***in' gun.

I thought you was my brother.

Rey, if you don't put down

the gun I'm gonna shoot you.

All right? I ain't lyin'.

You was supposed to be my

brother, Henry. You told Pa.

Rey, put down the goddamn gun!

I thought you was my brother

and you just left me there.

What's going on in there?

What did you do to my brother?

Huh?

Answer me.

What did you do to my brother?

I didn't do anything.

Yes, you did.

What did you do to him?
