Against the stunning beauty of New Zealand's rugged Ruahine Mountains, Peter Karena and his wife Colleen raise their six children on the thin edge between freedom and disaster. As Peter hunts, trains wild horses, and struggles to instill in his kids the values of independence, courage and happiness (not to mention good hair), his escalating struggle with his own father has profound consequences on the entire Karena clan. Filmed over the course of four years, THIS WAY OF LIFE captures the Karena's precipitous existence with equal parts glorious abandon and painful suspense. Trying to carve out a different type of life for himself, Peter often seems like a man out of step with this century—he can tame a wild horse, or field dress a deer, but he can't find a home for his family—but ultimately, this complete immersion in another way of life reveals that the price of freedom is something that is well worth paying.

00:00:00.962 --> 00:00:04.045
(somber tempo music)
00:00:19.241 --> 00:00:22.074
(leaves rustling)
00:00:25.769 --> 00:00:28.936
(somber guitar music)
00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:53.868
(gunshot booming)
00:00:53.868 --> 00:00:56.285
(whispering)
00:00:57.453 --> 00:01:00.286
(gunshot booming)
00:01:04.233 --> 00:01:06.697
-: Sounds like an army.
00:01:06.697 --> 00:01:08.036
Pow.
00:01:08.036 --> 00:01:10.326
(birds squawking)
00:01:10.326 --> 00:01:13.493
(somber string music)
00:01:14.736 --> 00:01:16.684
The first one was probably my dad
00:01:16.684 --> 00:01:19.756
because the first one was quite loud
00:01:19.756 --> 00:01:22.481
but then Nick's one was like "pow."
00:01:22.481 --> 00:01:24.731
"Chick, chick, chick, pow."
00:01:27.718 --> 00:01:29.505
(gunshot booming)
00:01:29.505 --> 00:01:30.338
My dad.
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:34.863
(pleasant string music)
00:01:41.875 --> 00:01:44.708
(birds whistling)
00:01:46.669 --> 00:01:49.336
(food sizzling)
00:01:50.755 --> 00:01:53.005
(groaning)
00:02:00.604 --> 00:02:03.271
(pots clinking)
00:02:10.968 --> 00:02:12.801
Here's some more, Dad.
00:02:15.175 --> 00:02:17.837
(birds chirping)
00:02:17.837 --> 00:02:18.924
(keys jingling)
00:02:18.924 --> 00:02:20.445
They're only small.
00:02:20.445 --> 00:02:21.808
Dad: No they're not, they're mighty fine.
00:02:21.808 --> 00:02:23.563
-: Oh, it's because he chopped off the feet.
00:02:29.814 --> 00:02:30.870
Oh.
00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:33.120
Yep, we're having herbal tea, boys.
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.883
Come and look at all of this.
00:02:37.377 --> 00:02:39.960
(wind howling)
00:02:44.342 --> 00:02:46.801
Dad: Which side it shot through?
00:02:46.801 --> 00:02:47.883
Man: Through the top.
00:02:47.883 --> 00:02:49.920
-: See, I told you I put it at the base of the neck,
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:51.253
eh, right there.
00:02:52.418 --> 00:02:53.978
Llewelyn: The girl's boobs.
00:02:53.978 --> 00:02:55.344
-: What's your talking about?
00:02:55.344 --> 00:02:56.524
I shot this one.
00:02:56.524 --> 00:02:57.357
(laughing)
00:02:57.357 --> 00:02:58.190
He just went and found them
00:02:58.190 --> 00:02:59.800
and retrieved them for me this morning.
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.840
See, being the alpha male sent him on his way.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.830
-: Oh, you didn't have to send me on my way, I just knew.
00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:07.107
-: We were gonna go down there anyways.
00:03:07.107 --> 00:03:08.290
But he was keen on
00:03:09.886 --> 00:03:11.663
taking them up the hill.
00:03:11.663 --> 00:03:14.800
(fire whooshing)
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.467
(food sizzling)
00:03:18.397 --> 00:03:20.270
Are you redoing this?
00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:21.970
Cook: Doesn't look crusty at all.
00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:23.989
Dad: Have you cooked any medallions yet?
00:03:23.989 --> 00:03:24.822
-: No.
00:03:24.822 --> 00:03:26.179
Does it look like it?
00:03:26.179 --> 00:03:28.629
Just because it's not the way you do it.
00:03:28.629 --> 00:03:30.879
(sizzling)
00:03:34.789 --> 00:03:36.540
-: The brass.
00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:38.020
There it is, see?
00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:41.200
Isn't it funny that it ran out of energy right on the skin?
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:43.460
Came through all that bone and meat
00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:47.330
and then it was the skin that finally stopped it.
00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:50.141
See, look there.
(flies buzzing)
00:03:50.141 --> 00:03:50.974
Go feel.
00:03:52.477 --> 00:03:54.755
-: It's heavy.
-: Through the ear.
00:03:54.755 --> 00:03:56.255
Amazing, ain't it?
00:03:57.459 --> 00:04:00.626
(somber guitar music)
00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:06.918
Boy Voiceover: My name is Llewelyn Steven Ottley-Karena
00:04:06.918 --> 00:04:10.700
and my dad's name is called Peter
00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:13.250
and he likes to take me to the mountains
00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:14.400
because I'm the oldest.
00:04:18.423 --> 00:04:21.630
-: What I do for a living.
00:04:21.630 --> 00:04:24.130
I said, "I live for a living."
00:04:25.032 --> 00:04:26.782
What I do for income,
00:04:28.770 --> 00:04:32.033
is whatever I can without compromising my integrity.
00:04:35.283 --> 00:04:38.616
(pleasant guitar music)
00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:40.983
If I can combine the two,
00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:45.400
the living and the income, then that's good.
00:04:50.321 --> 00:04:53.373
(horse grunting)
00:04:53.373 --> 00:04:55.990
(water spray fizzling)
00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:58.657
(horse huffing)
00:05:05.612 --> 00:05:06.653
Careful, love.
00:05:06.653 --> 00:05:08.403
Sharpening my razor.
00:05:09.664 --> 00:05:11.568
Child: Okay.
00:05:11.568 --> 00:05:13.680
(slicing)
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.180
Peter: Running out of hair.
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:21.880
I have these patches of hair missing on my...
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:23.713
my left arm.
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.310
Peter Voiceover: My children know how
00:05:28.310 --> 00:05:29.310
they get their meat.
00:05:34.780 --> 00:05:37.263
Bring a whole animal home, hang them up.
00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:39.830
The children see what they are.
00:05:41.485 --> 00:05:44.930
Then they participate in the skinning and cutting up.
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:48.653
Yeah, and they love it.
00:05:50.455 --> 00:05:52.137
-: Pretty good dear here.
00:05:52.137 --> 00:05:54.303
Two good ones here we're healing.
00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:57.770
Should last a couple of months.
00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:02.336
There's a hole here.
00:06:02.336 --> 00:06:03.686
There's a hole in the ribs.
00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:05.703
Llewelyn: What's that from, Dad?
00:06:05.703 --> 00:06:07.530
Peter: That's from the bullet.
00:06:07.530 --> 00:06:08.363
-: Woo.
00:06:09.563 --> 00:06:11.943
Dad, I like that smell, kind of.
00:06:11.943 --> 00:06:14.070
-: It's not it might smell but it's a smell that I like
00:06:14.070 --> 00:06:15.447
because I know that it's...
00:06:17.521 --> 00:06:19.221
It means there's good meat coming.
00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:22.380
Peter Voiceover: First time Wely saw me shoot a dear
00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:24.900
and he came up to the dear and was kicking it a bit,
00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:27.820
it was dead but, you know, he got a bit sad
00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:32.047
and he says to me that "It died so we could live,
00:06:32.047 --> 00:06:34.710
"so we can eat it and live, eh, Dad?"
00:06:34.710 --> 00:06:36.510
I said, "That's exactly what it's done."
00:06:36.510 --> 00:06:39.260
He treated it with respect and that's what I wanna see.
00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:41.013
-: Here, Malachi.
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:43.633
Peter Voiceover: It's something I've tried
00:06:43.633 --> 00:06:45.323
to instill in them, is the appreciation
00:06:45.323 --> 00:06:47.162
for the animal giving its life.
00:06:47.162 --> 00:06:49.829
(flies buzzing)
00:06:52.997 --> 00:06:54.356
(humming)
00:06:54.356 --> 00:06:55.240
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] I've got four younger
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.510
brothers and sisters
00:06:56.510 --> 00:06:59.120
and my mom's gonna have a new baby soon.
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.200
We live in Omahu,
00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:03.910
a little town in the north island of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
00:07:06.730 --> 00:07:09.898
-: Like, if you ask me to describe Llewelyn.
00:07:09.898 --> 00:07:11.500
(somber guitar music)
00:07:11.500 --> 00:07:15.620
Physically, he's just a little skinny kid
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:17.110
and he's small for his age.
00:07:17.110 --> 00:07:18.680
Yeah, he's not a big kid.
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.740
But he's got a lot of confidence and
00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:23.573
he's clever, he thinks about things.
00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:26.100
Reasons things out.
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:29.180
Then he can be a little scared thing as well.
00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:30.687
Over things that, you know,
00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.050
are of no consequence.
00:07:33.050 --> 00:07:33.883
Slowly.
00:07:35.210 --> 00:07:36.043
Slowly.
00:07:36.043 --> 00:07:37.470
But then he'll lead a big string of horses
00:07:37.470 --> 00:07:38.883
across rough country, yeah?
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:41.393
It's funny.
00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:45.380
Aurora's sitting the next one down.
00:07:45.380 --> 00:07:46.890
She's a year older than Malachi,
00:07:46.890 --> 00:07:48.560
so she's the second oldest.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.493
She finds pleasure in simple, silly things.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.360
And she's very emotional and she lets her spirit
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.133
sort of guide how she feels.
00:07:58.490 --> 00:08:01.310
She's the best on horseback out of all the kid.
00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:02.830
See your naughty, little legs sticking her
00:08:02.830 --> 00:08:03.663
and making her gallop.
00:08:03.663 --> 00:08:05.094
Slower her up.
00:08:05.094 --> 00:08:07.127
She takes her courage and confidence with them
00:08:07.127 --> 00:08:08.750
and her trust in them.
00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:10.583
That's the big thing of her, yeah.
00:08:13.330 --> 00:08:14.979
-: Daddy taught me.
00:08:14.979 --> 00:08:16.863
-: Malachi's about Malachi.
00:08:16.863 --> 00:08:19.883
There's a lot of bravado there but when it comes down to it,
00:08:21.460 --> 00:08:24.453
he gets pretty scared when it comes to doing things
00:08:24.453 --> 00:08:26.800
that are quite tough.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.450
But in the other sense, working with me, helping me,
00:08:29.450 --> 00:08:31.708
he outworks his brother and his sister.
00:08:31.708 --> 00:08:33.210
-: Oh!
00:08:33.210 --> 00:08:36.690
-: He's got the sort of spirit or the sort of personality
00:08:36.690 --> 00:08:41.563
where a lot of things he needs to learn by experience.
00:08:43.410 --> 00:08:46.060
Kids will always say that Elias is my favorite.
00:08:46.060 --> 00:08:48.070
It just seems that way because he's quite
00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.200
an affectionate sort of little boy.
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.520
When he was young and he got sick
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:54.140
and he had to stay in the hospital for a week,
00:08:54.140 --> 00:08:56.540
so Coll had the kids and I stayed in the hospital with him
00:08:56.540 --> 00:08:58.880
and he really bonded with me in the hospital
00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:01.230
and after we came back, he was Daddy's boy
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.027
and the kids, all from them on, you know,
00:09:04.027 --> 00:09:07.400
"Elias is his favorite because Elias gets cuddle rule time."
00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:08.843
Elias cuddles, yeah.
00:09:10.646 --> 00:09:12.130
Corban's about Corban, yeah.
00:09:12.130 --> 00:09:13.540
Whenever she's doing something it's because
00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:15.050
it's what Corban wants to do.
00:09:15.050 --> 00:09:15.883
Yeah.
00:09:15.883 --> 00:09:16.716
-: I can!
00:09:16.716 --> 00:09:17.690
Peter: You can.
00:09:17.690 --> 00:09:18.607
Peter Voiceover: She'll do something
00:09:18.607 --> 00:09:19.750
and if she'd thought about it,
00:09:19.750 --> 00:09:21.650
she'd know fair well the consequences.
00:09:22.660 --> 00:09:23.533
-: Whoa, whoa, no, no, no, you're not going anywhere.
00:09:23.533 --> 00:09:26.192
Peter Voiceover: It's like she's surprised at it.
00:09:26.192 --> 00:09:27.025
(giggling)
00:09:27.025 --> 00:09:29.625
"I was just doing what I wanted to do."
00:09:29.625 --> 00:09:30.798
(laughing)
00:09:30.798 --> 00:09:31.631
Peter: One more.
00:09:31.631 --> 00:09:33.533
Peter Voiceover: She's the girl version of Malachi.
00:09:33.533 --> 00:09:36.230
At the same time, you know, she's really loving.
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:38.020
Loves her mummy and daddy.
00:09:38.020 --> 00:09:39.810
When she realizes she's hurt us, you know,
00:09:39.810 --> 00:09:43.810
she's always doing things like writing little cards,
00:09:43.810 --> 00:09:47.444
little sorry notes and how much she loves us and that, yeah.
00:09:47.444 --> 00:09:50.177
(pleasant guitar music)
00:09:50.177 --> 00:09:51.957
Colleen: How do you spell "Mum?"
00:09:51.957 --> 00:09:52.790
Corban: "C."
00:09:52.790 --> 00:09:54.240
Colleen: No, no, that's "Colleen,"
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.140
but how do you spell "Mum?"
00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:56.413
What's that letter?
00:09:56.413 --> 00:09:57.246
Corban: "M."
00:09:57.246 --> 00:09:58.315
Colleen: "M."
00:09:58.315 --> 00:09:59.148
"U."
00:09:59.148 --> 00:10:00.725
Corban: "U."
00:10:00.725 --> 00:10:01.558
"M."
00:10:01.558 --> 00:10:03.152
Colleen: Very good.
00:10:03.152 --> 00:10:04.550
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] My mum's name is Colleen
00:10:04.550 --> 00:10:06.661
and she's the busiest Mum in the world.
00:10:06.661 --> 00:10:08.062
Corban: Mum.
00:10:08.062 --> 00:10:08.895
-: Mummy Colleen.
00:10:08.895 --> 00:10:10.928
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] There's no better Mum than her.
00:10:10.928 --> 00:10:11.892
-: I have...
00:10:11.892 --> 00:10:12.725
(laughing)
00:10:12.725 --> 00:10:14.550
I have many people telling me I'm crazy.
00:10:14.550 --> 00:10:16.583
I have five kids and one on the way.
00:10:19.034 --> 00:10:20.923
The oldest is eight.
00:10:21.770 --> 00:10:26.480
And the youngest is turning five.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.040
So I had five under five.
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.074
It doesn't bother me we have quite a few children
00:10:32.074 --> 00:10:34.767
and I'd like to have more, so...
00:10:34.767 --> 00:10:38.636
(somber flute music)
Yeah.
00:10:38.636 --> 00:10:39.640
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] This if my grandfather,
00:10:39.640 --> 00:10:40.940
Papa Whittle's house.
00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:44.523
He's my dad's dad and he grew up in this house.
00:10:45.800 --> 00:10:48.960
-: It's been handed down from generation to generation.
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.143
Have had seven generations now of family in this home.
00:10:53.143 --> 00:10:55.600
I think it's quite a rich heritage really,
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.233
with us carrying the name
00:10:57.233 --> 00:10:58.608
and also this house.
00:10:58.608 --> 00:11:00.496
It's over a hundred years old.
00:11:00.496 --> 00:11:01.450
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Papa Whittle and my dad
00:11:01.450 --> 00:11:03.090
don't get on anymore
00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.730
and Papa Whittle wants to sell the house.
00:11:05.730 --> 00:11:09.090
-: We're hoping that we'll be able to get this place
00:11:09.090 --> 00:11:10.633
and if not,
00:11:13.324 --> 00:11:16.320
there's so many who are quite interested in it
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.018
for cropping and,
00:11:20.018 --> 00:11:22.980
but probably demolish the house,
00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.423
which I think is the most saddest part.
00:11:27.390 --> 00:11:31.020
There used to be garden beds all at the front
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:34.723
and that was Sophie cotton I used to have there.
00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:39.070
Why was it so homely is because it has
00:11:39.070 --> 00:11:41.243
a really good surface house.
00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:44.480
When I first came here,
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.210
actually, all the walls were covered with family photos
00:11:47.210 --> 00:11:49.363
and very impressive ones.
00:11:52.710 --> 00:11:54.250
Look that all dusted over.
00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.940
That's Nanny Patsy, eh?
00:11:56.940 --> 00:11:57.773
Corban: Yeah.
00:11:57.773 --> 00:12:00.750
And now she doesn't look like that age.
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:01.970
Colleen: Oh, she's a little bit older.
00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:03.837
Yeah.
(laughing)
00:12:03.837 --> 00:12:07.170
(pleasant guitar music)
00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.070
We've got the cemetery which a lot of people think
00:12:17.070 --> 00:12:21.360
is quite spooky, just a house away from us
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.793
and that's where all the Karena's are buried.
00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:30.240
As we were talking to one of the aunties the other day,
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.410
and she says they would be so people to see
00:12:33.410 --> 00:12:35.762
the children all around and she says she felt
00:12:35.762 --> 00:12:37.812
really comfortable coming into the house.
00:12:39.563 --> 00:12:40.396
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Yeah, all of them relatives,
00:12:40.396 --> 00:12:43.440
all the Karena's, we had heaps of them.
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.880
People from the Māori Battalion
00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:48.410
and heaps of family.
00:12:48.410 --> 00:12:49.717
Heaps of people who lived there.
00:12:49.717 --> 00:12:52.071
It's over a hundred years old.
00:12:52.071 --> 00:12:54.821
(dramatic music)
00:12:59.714 --> 00:13:01.480
-: Me and Pete kinda don't wanna voice our,
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:02.910
voice what we hand to do to the house
00:13:02.910 --> 00:13:06.119
because I'd be just so disappointing if we don't get it.
00:13:06.119 --> 00:13:06.952
And, yeah.
00:13:09.301 --> 00:13:11.975
(horse hooves clapping)
00:13:11.975 --> 00:13:12.808
(horse huffing)
00:13:12.808 --> 00:13:13.641
Coming?
00:13:20.370 --> 00:13:21.217
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Today's kind of special
00:13:21.217 --> 00:13:24.150
because Mum and Dad are going to buy the house.
00:13:24.150 --> 00:13:26.850
They're taking my new baby sister, Salem, with them.
00:13:28.706 --> 00:13:30.348
-: Do you mind them going down to the paddock
00:13:30.348 --> 00:13:31.271
or do I just shut that gate?
00:13:31.271 --> 00:13:33.972
-: Yeah, no, I don't want them in the paddock.
00:13:33.972 --> 00:13:36.722
(horse neighing)
00:13:37.607 --> 00:13:40.440
(Peter whistling)
00:13:41.713 --> 00:13:43.207
-: Quick, get ahead of them!
00:13:43.207 --> 00:13:46.689
(birds chirping)
00:13:46.689 --> 00:13:47.793
Oh, the buggers.
00:13:47.793 --> 00:13:49.351
Grab that little mare.
00:13:49.351 --> 00:13:52.351
(traffic commotion)
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.509
(birds chirping)
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.320
I'm just anxious to get it over with.
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.143
I've rather not resign myself to the fact
00:14:10.143 --> 00:14:11.920
that we could lose our home but
00:14:13.910 --> 00:14:14.753
life goes on.
00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:18.560
We'll get over this.
00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:20.440
We've lived quite a blessed life.
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:23.273
If we lose it.
00:14:25.390 --> 00:14:27.850
If not, it'll be even more blessed.
00:14:32.266 --> 00:14:33.100
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] But someone else
00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:34.530
had already bought the house,
00:14:34.530 --> 00:14:37.320
so Mum and Dad, they didn't even get to bid.
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:38.724
Colleen: So what does that mean for us?
00:14:38.724 --> 00:14:40.335
Peter: See the old man poke his head in there?
00:14:40.335 --> 00:14:41.168
Colleen: No, I didn't.
00:14:41.168 --> 00:14:43.169
-: Big smile on his face.
(people chattering)
00:14:43.169 --> 00:14:44.480
-: [Colleen Voiceover] Peter's dad poked his head in
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.770
and gave a big smile.
00:14:45.770 --> 00:14:47.220
He's gone and done something.
00:14:52.196 --> 00:14:54.320
-: Oh well, I was hoping it would all be over today,
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:55.737
one way or the other.
00:14:58.187 --> 00:14:59.087
She's got no idea.
00:15:01.730 --> 00:15:03.173
I think she's got no idea.
00:15:05.778 --> 00:15:07.185
-: Poof!
00:15:07.185 --> 00:15:08.018
Poof!
00:15:08.018 --> 00:15:08.851
Attack!
00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:13.080
-: This is my home.
00:15:16.637 --> 00:15:17.988
This is my home, this is my community,
00:15:17.988 --> 00:15:21.913
this is where I started, where I was gonna live.
00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:27.836
-: Ah, ah, ah, ah!
00:15:30.140 --> 00:15:31.430
-: Working on options now,
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:33.733
such as just living like gypsies.
00:15:35.180 --> 00:15:36.370
Sell our truck...
00:15:37.804 --> 00:15:39.200
(laughing)
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.033
Ride around on horses
00:15:40.033 --> 00:15:42.123
and just live on the side of the roads.
00:15:46.071 --> 00:15:47.386
-: Uh,
00:15:47.386 --> 00:15:49.757
that's not where I'd like to be but...
00:15:49.757 --> 00:15:52.507
(child shouting)
00:15:54.430 --> 00:15:56.330
Got lots of family but if I move with my family,
00:15:56.330 --> 00:15:58.270
we've got to see all our horses which is
00:15:58.270 --> 00:16:00.470
the saddest out of all of it.
00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.693
Yeah.
00:16:03.765 --> 00:16:06.027
-: I'm going for a swim.
00:16:06.027 --> 00:16:08.410
Forget our worries for an hour or so,
00:16:08.410 --> 00:16:09.583
swim in the river.
00:16:10.730 --> 00:16:11.980
Take the kids for a ride.
00:16:14.293 --> 00:16:17.626
(pleasant guitar music)
00:16:23.301 --> 00:16:25.634
(splashing)
00:16:37.232 --> 00:16:39.899
(horse huffing)
00:16:46.703 --> 00:16:49.453
(water sloshing)
00:16:54.629 --> 00:16:57.128
(birds chirping)
00:16:57.128 --> 00:17:00.128
(traffic commotion)
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:06.330
-: It's getting quite nasty there.
00:17:06.330 --> 00:17:09.224
We had, on Sunday we had,
00:17:09.224 --> 00:17:11.603
I'd say about 15 people here.
00:17:12.830 --> 00:17:14.913
The guy who apparently has bought it,
00:17:16.170 --> 00:17:18.290
him and his family came over and they were just...
00:17:18.290 --> 00:17:19.703
He was swearing at us.
00:17:20.903 --> 00:17:21.736
And yeah.
00:17:22.630 --> 00:17:24.380
Not that you need 15 people to come
00:17:25.309 --> 00:17:26.509
and kick and family out.
00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:31.433
They actually came to drop some stuff off.
00:17:31.433 --> 00:17:34.080
I don't think, it wasn't a lot of stuff.
00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:36.310
They were just all hanging outside.
00:17:36.310 --> 00:17:37.143
Yeah, so.
00:17:38.626 --> 00:17:40.560
I don't know, maybe it was intimidation tactics,
00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:41.710
I don't know.
00:17:42.750 --> 00:17:44.130
It intimidated me, anyway.
00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:45.390
(laughing)
00:17:45.390 --> 00:17:46.440
It's not nice for the kids.
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.870
We don't want the kids exposed to that kind of rubbish,
00:17:48.870 --> 00:17:52.610
so we'll just get out of the situation.
00:17:52.610 --> 00:17:55.117
He can have the place if he wants it so bad.
00:17:56.997 --> 00:17:57.947
-: I wanna move out.
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:03.450
I haven't got big, fat prison wardens
00:18:03.450 --> 00:18:07.029
coming over to my house trying to kick me and my family out
00:18:07.029 --> 00:18:08.929
and putting themselves and me at risk.
00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:14.770
He's a prison warden, the guy who come around.
00:18:14.770 --> 00:18:17.090
My dad sorta cut a deal with him
00:18:19.507 --> 00:18:21.257
and got him to try and kick us out.
00:18:22.910 --> 00:18:24.790
-: Well, according to Whittle,
00:18:24.790 --> 00:18:25.650
it is...
00:18:28.214 --> 00:18:30.130
that we
00:18:30.130 --> 00:18:33.083
abide by what he says, you know?
00:18:33.934 --> 00:18:36.500
He's the patriarch.
00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.333
We...
00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:40.453
Yeah,
00:18:40.453 --> 00:18:43.670
we go along with what he says.
00:18:43.670 --> 00:18:46.093
He came over the other day, Pete wasn't here,
00:18:47.991 --> 00:18:48.841
and he put a few,
00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:53.500
he thinks we need him for some reason,
00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:56.000
that he's the only one that can save us.
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.874
Save us from what, I don't know.
00:18:58.874 --> 00:19:01.760
And we had a few disagreements
00:19:01.760 --> 00:19:03.210
and I was just telling Peter,
00:19:04.723 --> 00:19:08.430
a few years ago, there's no way I would've spoken,
00:19:08.430 --> 00:19:10.850
you know, voiced my opinion to somebody,
00:19:10.850 --> 00:19:13.923
and here I was arguing with his dad.
00:19:14.822 --> 00:19:17.697
You know, I was thinking that Pete's influence
00:19:17.697 --> 00:19:19.303
must be rubbing off on me.
00:19:19.303 --> 00:19:20.248
(laughing)
00:19:20.248 --> 00:19:21.890
I don't know.
00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:23.040
-: I'd rather not fight.
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.930
I've done things in my past,
00:19:26.930 --> 00:19:29.160
and dealt with people in my past
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.860
who've been quite hard on my past.
00:19:32.230 --> 00:19:36.057
I felt like dishing some of that out on to him.
00:19:36.057 --> 00:19:38.679
That would've brought violence into our home.
00:19:38.679 --> 00:19:40.250
That's something
00:19:40.250 --> 00:19:42.704
I don't want my children to have around them.
00:19:42.704 --> 00:19:47.704
(ominous music)
(police radio commotion)
00:20:14.345 --> 00:20:16.393
(baby crying)
00:20:16.393 --> 00:20:19.880
-: Well here's the course of action.
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.120
He's willing to go away today,
00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:24.857
let things cool down, which is good,
00:20:24.857 --> 00:20:26.533
because we don't want any fit or aggravation.
00:20:26.533 --> 00:20:27.380
Corban: Hello.
00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:28.250
Officer: Hi.
00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:30.798
You're still happy to move out, which is good for him.
00:20:30.798 --> 00:20:31.631
Peter: We're going.
00:20:31.631 --> 00:20:32.464
-: Yeah.
-: We're going.
00:20:32.464 --> 00:20:33.980
But I'm not gonna be bullied into paying rent.
00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.813
-: Yeah, no.
00:20:34.813 --> 00:20:36.210
-: And that's extortion.
00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:37.180
Those two big fellows came here,
00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:39.220
they try and kick down the door, that's extortion.
00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.920
Tried to drag me out the window.
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:41.770
That's extortion.
00:20:42.761 --> 00:20:43.850
-: Yeah.
00:20:43.850 --> 00:20:45.680
-: I ended up saying to them last week
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.501
that I'd be out in three weeks.
00:20:47.501 --> 00:20:48.334
-: Yeah.
00:20:48.334 --> 00:20:49.727
-: And he says, "Oh, look, I've bought the place
00:20:49.727 --> 00:20:50.950
"and I've got a mortgage."
00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:51.977
I said, "Look, if you've bought the place
00:20:51.977 --> 00:20:53.246
"then I'll pay you rent."
00:20:53.246 --> 00:20:54.329
Officer: Yeah?
00:20:54.329 --> 00:20:55.162
Peter: Then I find out during the week
00:20:55.162 --> 00:20:56.921
that he hasn't bought the place
00:20:56.921 --> 00:20:59.986
and as soon as I get out there today...
00:20:59.986 --> 00:21:02.486
(baby crying)
00:21:03.907 --> 00:21:04.740
-: What I heard, they turned up
00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:08.386
and had put some stuff in the back yard.
00:21:08.386 --> 00:21:09.421
(baby crying)
00:21:09.421 --> 00:21:11.460
I don't know, Peter just came in, locked the door.
00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:13.243
And they were yelling.
00:21:15.666 --> 00:21:18.295
That's when I realized what was on.
00:21:18.295 --> 00:21:19.128
And...
00:21:20.193 --> 00:21:22.309
through the window
00:21:22.309 --> 00:21:23.973
just swearing.
00:21:23.973 --> 00:21:25.499
(baby crying)
00:21:25.499 --> 00:21:26.832
Oh Salem, Salem.
00:21:27.783 --> 00:21:29.863
(baby crying)
00:21:29.863 --> 00:21:31.951
-: He came over at the window, Mom.
00:21:31.951 --> 00:21:36.951
(baby crying)
(shushing)
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.122
I was getting angry.
00:21:39.122 --> 00:21:40.887
Llewelyn: I was getting scared.
00:21:40.887 --> 00:21:41.932
(harmonic blowing)
-: Mummy,
00:21:41.932 --> 00:21:44.049
I'm drawing you as a mermaid.
00:21:44.049 --> 00:21:46.283
And Dad's gonna be a boy mermaid.
00:21:46.283 --> 00:21:49.200
(harmonic blowing)
00:21:56.102 --> 00:21:57.623
-: It's not under his name.
00:21:57.623 --> 00:21:59.511
It's still under your father's name.
00:21:59.511 --> 00:22:01.920
-: Me and my dad went into an agreement on the property,
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.747
and this is going back over six years,
00:22:03.747 --> 00:22:06.190
and I paid the mortgage and did all that.
00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:07.023
-: Yeah.
00:22:07.023 --> 00:22:08.760
-: Okay, until my dad broke the lease agreement.
00:22:08.760 --> 00:22:09.990
Officer: Where's your dad through all this?
00:22:09.990 --> 00:22:11.569
-: Oh, he's in Havelock.
00:22:11.569 --> 00:22:12.609
Yeah, Havelock.
00:22:12.609 --> 00:22:13.687
-: And how does he live?
00:22:13.687 --> 00:22:16.140
Has he gone around and spoke to those gentlemen?
00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:18.544
-: Oh, he's the one who jacked up this guy
00:22:18.544 --> 00:22:19.810
to bail him out of the mortgage.
00:22:19.810 --> 00:22:22.133
It was up for sale, my dad stopped the sale,
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.430
but he can't transfer the man into him.
00:22:25.430 --> 00:22:27.243
He can't sell the land to him
00:22:27.243 --> 00:22:28.780
because the official signee,
00:22:28.780 --> 00:22:29.717
he still has an interest in the land
00:22:29.717 --> 00:22:30.960
and his assets are frozen.
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.993
So this guy's got him put a hundred grand down.
00:22:33.993 --> 00:22:36.675
That's not my fault, yeah?
00:22:36.675 --> 00:22:38.700
Between him and my dad, my dad does some dodgy deals
00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:41.424
but, you know, it's got nothing to do with me.
00:22:41.424 --> 00:22:44.591
(somber guitar music)
00:22:52.250 --> 00:22:53.750
-: 3-6-3,
00:22:54.864 --> 00:22:56.197
2-4-1.
00:23:01.647 --> 00:23:06.647
-: Can you leave those here till they go?
00:23:07.203 --> 00:23:10.786
(officer speaking muffled)
00:23:20.448 --> 00:23:23.948
-: Might as well wait here, stay in there.
00:23:26.656 --> 00:23:29.656
(traffic commotion)
00:23:30.746 --> 00:23:32.325
(door closing)
00:23:32.325 --> 00:23:35.492
(somber guitar music)
00:23:51.926 --> 00:23:54.509
(door opening)
00:23:56.043 --> 00:23:59.280
I'll emphasize that a decision,
00:23:59.280 --> 00:24:02.860
or some sort of clarification, needs to be made urgently.
00:24:02.860 --> 00:24:03.693
-: Yeah.
00:24:03.693 --> 00:24:05.040
-: To avoid any further problems.
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:08.268
-: What happens with him grabbing me
00:24:08.268 --> 00:24:10.324
and trying to drag me out the window?
00:24:10.324 --> 00:24:12.200
-: I mean, if they come back again,
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.604
just lock the doors, give us a call and we'll come--
00:24:15.604 --> 00:24:16.589
Peter: But there were coming in.
00:24:16.589 --> 00:24:17.823
They were gonna--
-: Yeah.
00:24:17.823 --> 00:24:19.460
Yeah, well.
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:22.900
Peter: If you take my rifles away, what do I do then?
00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:24.180
-: Okay.
00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:26.068
Thanks for your help, I appreciate these.
00:24:26.068 --> 00:24:27.047
(laughing)
00:24:27.047 --> 00:24:29.297
Sorry I have to take these.
00:24:35.444 --> 00:24:38.611
(children chattering)
00:24:41.567 --> 00:24:45.067
(melancholy guitar music)
00:24:45.910 --> 00:24:48.010
Malachi: Did they take one of the guns?
00:24:54.199 --> 00:24:55.543
-: Took all of them.
-: Did we make it?
00:24:55.543 --> 00:24:57.668
-: Can I have all yous kids?
00:24:57.668 --> 00:25:01.168
(children mumbling)
00:25:01.168 --> 00:25:03.388
-: All of us started crying.
00:25:03.388 --> 00:25:04.242
I was angry.
00:25:04.242 --> 00:25:05.343
Peter: You were angry, eh?
00:25:05.343 --> 00:25:06.810
-: Yeah, I got angry.
00:25:06.810 --> 00:25:09.213
I felt like picking up that thing in the back
00:25:09.213 --> 00:25:10.256
when they were coming in.
00:25:10.256 --> 00:25:11.499
I felt like it.
00:25:11.499 --> 00:25:12.666
I'm too angry.
00:25:16.448 --> 00:25:18.501
-: Lucky we're gonna camp tomorrow.
00:25:18.501 --> 00:25:19.406
I said to Mum,
00:25:19.406 --> 00:25:20.802
we should get all our stuff ready tonight
00:25:20.802 --> 00:25:21.635
and we just all leave.
00:25:21.635 --> 00:25:24.523
Leave this house, place, mess it all up.
00:25:25.871 --> 00:25:27.314
Peter: Mess it all up?
00:25:27.314 --> 00:25:28.481
(shouting)
00:25:28.481 --> 00:25:29.404
Kids, do you want to clean up this mess
00:25:29.404 --> 00:25:32.154
in this room when you made toast?
00:25:34.076 --> 00:25:37.409
(Llewelyn singing tune)
00:25:43.881 --> 00:25:45.654
(Llewelyn muttering)
00:25:45.654 --> 00:25:47.537
Malachi: Oh!
00:25:47.537 --> 00:25:49.073
-: What?
00:25:49.073 --> 00:25:50.324
-: Have a look what you did.
00:25:50.324 --> 00:25:51.157
Peter: Eggs.
00:25:51.157 --> 00:25:52.530
-: I know what we should do.
00:25:52.530 --> 00:25:55.654
Put some eggs and some steak
00:25:55.654 --> 00:25:56.653
and then say, "Here."
00:25:56.653 --> 00:25:58.580
Just like sandwich
00:25:58.580 --> 00:25:59.800
to them.
00:25:59.800 --> 00:26:01.233
You give it to them
00:26:01.233 --> 00:26:02.988
and make sure that they eat the eggs.
00:26:02.988 --> 00:26:04.289
-: That would be yuck.
00:26:04.289 --> 00:26:07.039
Because it's sour on your tongue.
00:26:07.887 --> 00:26:08.720
Peter: Is it?
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.553
-: Yeah.
00:26:09.553 --> 00:26:12.275
(police sirens alarming)
00:26:12.275 --> 00:26:14.201
(car zooming)
00:26:14.201 --> 00:26:17.451
(dramatic piano music)
00:26:29.256 --> 00:26:31.756
(baby crying)
00:26:34.905 --> 00:26:37.155
(mumbling)
00:26:50.627 --> 00:26:52.720
-: Anything in there?
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.572
Anything salvageable?
00:26:53.572 --> 00:26:55.813
Officer: No, not by the look of it.
00:26:55.813 --> 00:26:58.563
(birds chirping)
00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:02.307
-: I says, "Oh, there's nothing to worry about, Peter.
00:27:02.307 --> 00:27:04.017
"They've all got trespass notices.
00:27:04.017 --> 00:27:05.740
"They can't come on to the property."
00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.740
I says, "Let's get rid of your shed."
00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:09.280
Because, you know, it's so easy to get into the shed.
00:27:09.280 --> 00:27:11.540
And he says, "Are you sure?"
00:27:11.540 --> 00:27:13.357
And I says, "No, no, we'll leave the house.
00:27:13.357 --> 00:27:15.200
"We'll get rid of your shed."
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.500
And that was the very last load that we did.
00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:20.313
So we left all the photos and...
00:27:22.033 --> 00:27:23.250
and our stuff.
00:27:23.250 --> 00:27:25.140
Ugh, it's just...
00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:26.893
You can't replace photos.
00:27:28.091 --> 00:27:30.424
(sniffling)
00:27:33.948 --> 00:27:35.202
(insects buzzing)
00:27:35.202 --> 00:27:37.369
(yelling)
00:27:39.320 --> 00:27:40.370
-: He's a Frenchman.
00:27:40.370 --> 00:27:41.460
He's from England.
00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:42.570
Another Arabian.
00:27:42.570 --> 00:27:44.594
He's an American.
00:27:44.594 --> 00:27:48.466
(somber guitar music)
00:27:48.466 --> 00:27:50.583
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] I love the house.
00:27:50.583 --> 00:27:53.373
Me and brother even buried some of our soldiers there.
00:28:01.467 --> 00:28:02.873
But camping is fun too.
00:28:06.802 --> 00:28:09.802
(children shouting)
00:28:14.327 --> 00:28:16.327
-: You might think we're going through a lot of hardships,
00:28:16.327 --> 00:28:18.797
especially with the house burning and having to live in,
00:28:18.797 --> 00:28:20.897
you know, a lot of people are like saying,
00:28:20.897 --> 00:28:23.027
"You're living in a caravan with six children?"
00:28:23.027 --> 00:28:25.477
You know, they think I'm Superwoman or something.
00:28:26.570 --> 00:28:29.453
I guess it varies on how people can cope.
00:28:30.390 --> 00:28:32.030
You know,
00:28:32.030 --> 00:28:35.090
I guess someone who's lived in a flash house
00:28:35.090 --> 00:28:37.613
and had everything given to them,
00:28:37.613 --> 00:28:42.015
they would find this way too hard to endure.
00:28:42.015 --> 00:28:44.515
(baby cooing)
00:28:45.580 --> 00:28:48.250
But it could be worse.
00:28:48.250 --> 00:28:49.620
You know?
00:28:49.620 --> 00:28:51.341
I've got so much,
00:28:51.341 --> 00:28:52.700
you know, the house has burnt down,
00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:54.140
we've lost a lot of things.
00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:55.785
But I've got my children.
00:28:55.785 --> 00:28:56.685
They're all alive.
00:28:57.540 --> 00:28:59.064
They're safe, they're happy.
00:28:59.064 --> 00:28:59.897
Boo.
00:28:59.897 --> 00:29:03.140
(pleasant guitar music)
00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:06.820
All we ever wanted for our kids to be happy.
00:29:06.820 --> 00:29:10.473
Enjoying life and being happy with each other.
00:29:12.207 --> 00:29:15.177
I think a place like this actually
00:29:15.177 --> 00:29:16.922
brings it out, really.
00:29:16.922 --> 00:29:19.922
(children shouting)
00:29:22.310 --> 00:29:24.120
-: Do you wanna look at my tooth?
00:29:28.489 --> 00:29:30.500
It's a little one.
00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:32.817
I pulled it out by myself.
00:29:32.817 --> 00:29:35.984
He kicked me in the mouth and my wiggly tooth was,
00:29:35.984 --> 00:29:39.163
then it started bending over like that.
00:29:39.163 --> 00:29:40.233
I just pulled it out.
00:29:42.410 --> 00:29:43.550
-: Did it hurt?
00:29:43.550 --> 00:29:45.020
-: Nah.
00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:48.430
-: I've never ever feared the kids being on the horses.
00:29:48.430 --> 00:29:51.800
We've always talked to them about safety, you know.
00:29:51.800 --> 00:29:54.673
So we've never ever worried about safety helmets.
00:29:56.370 --> 00:29:58.230
We would never put our kids on a horse
00:29:58.230 --> 00:30:01.350
we would feel they would be in danger.
00:30:01.350 --> 00:30:03.160
It's human nature to like to be thrilled
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.360
and to have fun and--
00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:05.980
-: Mom, I ditched the others!
00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:07.680
Just ran off without 'em.
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.797
Chasing after a rabbit.
00:30:08.797 --> 00:30:10.520
-: [Colleen Voiceover] Children don't fear things
00:30:10.520 --> 00:30:11.670
unless you put fear into them.
00:30:11.670 --> 00:30:12.969
Peter: Oh, hello.
00:30:12.969 --> 00:30:15.969
(children shouting)
00:30:18.280 --> 00:30:19.333
-: Living out here too,
00:30:19.333 --> 00:30:20.166
they just go and do their own things,
00:30:20.166 --> 00:30:22.610
they could have their own adventures.
00:30:22.610 --> 00:30:26.560
Life's fun, life's, I guess to them, good.
00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:27.870
(children chattering)
00:30:27.870 --> 00:30:29.230
They love it here.
00:30:29.230 --> 00:30:30.140
Why wouldn't they though?
00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:33.163
It's very beautiful and life's just fun.
00:30:34.210 --> 00:30:35.750
But are we raising them
00:30:37.970 --> 00:30:39.830
to be disappointed when they're older?
00:30:39.830 --> 00:30:42.913
'Cause life's just changing and the world's changing.
00:30:43.930 --> 00:30:47.513
I hope my kids grow up to appreciate this life.
00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:49.653
Malachi: You'll like it, Eli.
00:30:49.653 --> 00:30:52.310
-: But the world still allows us to have a life like this.
00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:56.580
We just worry that we're gonna raise our kids
00:30:56.580 --> 00:30:59.583
and life's gonna be not what they expected.
00:31:00.770 --> 00:31:04.590
It's gonna be full of hardships and...
00:31:05.510 --> 00:31:06.343
And...
00:31:09.170 --> 00:31:10.250
Not this.
00:31:10.250 --> 00:31:11.633
(pleasant guitar music)
00:31:11.633 --> 00:31:13.883
(giggling)
00:31:37.387 --> 00:31:40.245
(splashing)
00:31:40.245 --> 00:31:43.578
(horse hooves thumping)
00:31:49.127 --> 00:31:51.877
(waves rumbling)
00:31:52.988 --> 00:31:55.821
(birds squawking)
00:32:00.407 --> 00:32:03.074
(whip cracking)
00:32:04.368 --> 00:32:07.035
(whip cracking)
00:32:10.972 --> 00:32:14.055
(seagulls squawking)
00:32:24.008 --> 00:32:25.683
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] But Dad found us a shed to live in
00:32:25.683 --> 00:32:26.980
that has lots of paddocks
00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:28.903
so all our horses can stay with us.
00:32:33.551 --> 00:32:36.801
(ocean waves crashing)
00:32:37.710 --> 00:32:40.500
We thought we might have to move to my Nana Doreen's house,
00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:41.713
that's my Mum's mum.
00:32:42.825 --> 00:32:45.180
-: I said to Peter I wasn't keen on coming back to the share
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:49.260
because Mum's house got a lot more comforts
00:32:49.260 --> 00:32:52.060
but when we came here, it was just,
00:32:52.060 --> 00:32:53.500
this is home.
00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:56.160
This is where our family function.
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.070
We function here.
00:32:57.070 --> 00:32:59.317
You know, and even the kids are like,
00:32:59.317 --> 00:33:01.411
"Oh, it's so nice to be home, eh, Mum?"
00:33:01.411 --> 00:33:02.520
(laughing)
00:33:02.520 --> 00:33:03.860
I'm like, "It is, you know."
00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.840
Even though we don't have a,
00:33:04.840 --> 00:33:07.650
we've gotta rush up there to the toilet and everything.
00:33:07.650 --> 00:33:10.600
It's just, we function here as a family.
00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:12.170
We have fun here.
00:33:12.170 --> 00:33:13.951
We are together.
00:33:13.951 --> 00:33:15.500
Yeah.
00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:17.080
We can do without.
00:33:17.080 --> 00:33:18.879
(somber guitar music)
00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:19.712
-: Wee!
00:33:21.353 --> 00:33:23.225
Wely, I have the genie!
00:33:23.225 --> 00:33:24.820
-: [Colleen Voiceover] Children know a lot.
00:33:24.820 --> 00:33:26.000
We think they don't
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.469
but they know more than what they put out.
00:33:29.469 --> 00:33:31.373
-: Look, I'm wanna go for another ride.
00:33:31.373 --> 00:33:33.130
-: [Colleen Voiceover] We had to withdraw ourselves
00:33:33.130 --> 00:33:36.093
so that we could protect the kids,
00:33:36.093 --> 00:33:39.260
and I knew through the things that they were saying,
00:33:39.260 --> 00:33:41.660
that we needed to do that just so that they could
00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:44.493
not be influenced by our feelings.
00:33:45.650 --> 00:33:49.090
Just because things are going bad between Pete's family,
00:33:49.090 --> 00:33:51.440
our children don't need to be affected by them.
00:33:56.598 --> 00:33:58.630
We all fell in love with Peter's mother,
00:33:58.630 --> 00:34:00.044
and when you fall in love with a person,
00:34:00.044 --> 00:34:01.870
you fall in love with everything about them.
00:34:01.870 --> 00:34:04.080
Whether it's children she's had with someone else,
00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:05.470
and they were young children.
00:34:05.470 --> 00:34:07.548
Peter was probably nine
00:34:07.548 --> 00:34:10.533
and how could you not love a little nine year old?
00:34:11.890 --> 00:34:12.760
How could you
00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:16.570
begrudge them that they had a different father?
00:34:17.807 --> 00:34:21.140
(dramatic guitar music)
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.060
The situation with our family and the house
00:34:26.060 --> 00:34:27.543
is not a good one.
00:34:29.690 --> 00:34:30.650
I've never had to deal with
00:34:30.650 --> 00:34:33.640
these kind of issues in my family.
00:34:33.640 --> 00:34:35.740
I was always taught we talk about things
00:34:35.740 --> 00:34:37.870
and we solve problems.
00:34:37.870 --> 00:34:42.370
Where as Peter grew up where your opinion didn't matter.
00:34:42.370 --> 00:34:45.216
It was, "Mum and Dad were right."
00:34:45.216 --> 00:34:46.384
(whip cracking)
00:34:46.384 --> 00:34:49.301
(horses squealing)
00:34:52.020 --> 00:34:54.100
At the moment we can't resolve the problem.
00:34:54.100 --> 00:34:56.150
We've had to protect ourselves
00:34:56.150 --> 00:34:58.073
because it was causing a lot of hurt.
00:35:01.509 --> 00:35:02.592
-: Don't bite.
00:35:03.950 --> 00:35:04.783
You're biting me.
00:35:04.783 --> 00:35:05.947
Salem's a baby.
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.696
Her personality's growing all the time.
00:35:11.696 --> 00:35:14.029
(smooching)
00:35:16.430 --> 00:35:18.240
She's the only one as a little baby
00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:20.453
who really liked me and wanted me, yeah?
00:35:22.288 --> 00:35:23.793
And I loved it because it was,
00:35:24.670 --> 00:35:26.650
it was in a time in my life when I was having
00:35:26.650 --> 00:35:27.920
quite a few trials and
00:35:29.110 --> 00:35:30.410
there's this dark cloud over me,
00:35:30.410 --> 00:35:32.863
there was that little bright thing.
00:35:34.670 --> 00:35:35.610
So she...
00:35:37.300 --> 00:35:38.380
She saved my soul.
00:35:44.835 --> 00:35:47.168
(sniffling)
00:35:49.835 --> 00:35:51.684
(somber guitar music)
00:35:51.684 --> 00:35:53.617
(ocean waves sloshing)
00:35:53.617 --> 00:35:57.243
(distant seagulls squawking)
00:35:57.243 --> 00:35:58.710
It's funny,
00:35:58.710 --> 00:36:02.063
yeah, a little babe is what I needed.
00:36:06.439 --> 00:36:07.347
(chuckling)
00:36:07.347 --> 00:36:10.020
I don't know how people can say there's not a god
00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:14.550
because someone made it happen that way.
00:36:14.550 --> 00:36:15.660
I have a trial and
00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:19.300
have things happen in my life,
00:36:19.300 --> 00:36:21.925
and at the same time there's always a ray of hope
00:36:21.925 --> 00:36:24.885
or something that's bright.
00:36:24.885 --> 00:36:27.468
(wind howling)
00:36:28.710 --> 00:36:29.543
So...
00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:32.060
She came at a good time.
00:36:35.118 --> 00:36:36.860
But they all have, they've all come at good times.
00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:39.250
They've all come at the right time.
00:36:39.250 --> 00:36:41.997
My wife came into my life at the right time.
00:36:41.997 --> 00:36:45.164
(somber guitar music)
00:36:50.430 --> 00:36:52.880
They say I married above myself and I feel I did.
00:36:55.471 --> 00:36:58.638
(children chattering)
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:03.000
I feel that the rest of my life I have to work
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:04.603
at being worthy to have my wife.
00:37:12.709 --> 00:37:13.542
-: Wee!
00:37:14.495 --> 00:37:16.575
Llewelyn: That's gonna be the palace of our Emperor.
00:37:16.575 --> 00:37:18.775
Malachi: Whoa!
00:37:18.775 --> 00:37:21.545
Peter: Malachi, do you want your sister to fall?
00:37:21.545 --> 00:37:22.825
-: No.
00:37:22.825 --> 00:37:26.238
Peter: Well obviously you do.
00:37:26.238 --> 00:37:27.700
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] My Mum's having another baby
00:37:27.700 --> 00:37:31.600
and Aurora and Corban want it to be a girl.
00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:34.180
But me and Elias are hoping it's a boy
00:37:34.180 --> 00:37:36.920
because get to do all the work down at the yard
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:38.570
and help Dad and stuff like that.
00:37:39.684 --> 00:37:41.434
-: Now that I'm having another baby,
00:37:43.138 --> 00:37:44.138
a little bit more...
00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:51.420
Not so keen, I think,
00:37:51.420 --> 00:37:53.650
I'm not so keen on us having this child
00:37:53.650 --> 00:37:55.610
and maybe having more
00:37:55.610 --> 00:37:57.740
because we're in a situation,
00:37:57.740 --> 00:37:59.614
well, look, we live in a shed.
00:37:59.614 --> 00:38:01.350
(chuckling)
00:38:01.350 --> 00:38:04.468
Home is my kids, my husband.
00:38:04.468 --> 00:38:06.093
Not a flash building.
00:38:06.930 --> 00:38:09.600
It's just where you're loved
00:38:09.600 --> 00:38:11.880
and so...
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:13.980
Yeah, I couldn't say I'm homeless, no way.
00:38:15.140 --> 00:38:19.200
Financially, we're not in a situation to have 10.
00:38:19.200 --> 00:38:20.300
(chuckling)
00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:22.171
But, who knows, maybe down the track
00:38:22.171 --> 00:38:24.330
we probably could have more.
00:38:24.330 --> 00:38:25.742
You know, it'd be nice.
00:38:25.742 --> 00:38:27.254
(chainsaw buzzing)
00:38:27.254 --> 00:38:30.421
(upbeat guitar music)
00:38:33.617 --> 00:38:36.480
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] My dad's got all horses out there.
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:38.140
He's gonna start a business.
00:38:38.140 --> 00:38:40.555
I reckon I'll like it there.
00:38:40.555 --> 00:38:43.722
(upbeat guitar music)
00:39:14.080 --> 00:39:14.913
-: It's funny, you know,
00:39:14.913 --> 00:39:17.810
this society which is based on capitalism
00:39:17.810 --> 00:39:21.290
has actually systematically taken from people
00:39:22.449 --> 00:39:24.360
this idea of...
00:39:25.710 --> 00:39:27.410
Of having a right, God given right,
00:39:27.410 --> 00:39:31.460
to dwell on the land and to be on land.
00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:33.530
They've systematically done it.
00:39:33.530 --> 00:39:35.380
So the whole society is based
00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:36.850
on this idea of land ownership.
00:39:36.850 --> 00:39:40.320
Our whole society is based and that is the truest wealth
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.090
of owning the actual land.
00:39:42.090 --> 00:39:44.700
Because then anyone else who wants to actually dwell
00:39:44.700 --> 00:39:47.610
or live on the land is subject to the person
00:39:47.610 --> 00:39:48.797
who says, "I own it."
00:39:49.810 --> 00:39:51.210
They're at the whim of them.
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.470
But all land belongs to the Crown.
00:39:54.470 --> 00:39:56.430
And anybody who buys a piece of land in this country
00:39:56.430 --> 00:39:59.260
buys a free hold title from the Crown
00:39:59.260 --> 00:40:01.260
that they can hand on to their children,
00:40:01.260 --> 00:40:03.600
and they believe, they're under this misconception
00:40:03.600 --> 00:40:04.760
that they actually own the land.
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:06.820
But anytime the Crown wanted to take the land
00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:11.660
or to use the land, they have the power to do so,
00:40:11.660 --> 00:40:13.213
because they say they own it.
00:40:16.100 --> 00:40:18.640
Just to live the way I wanna live,
00:40:18.640 --> 00:40:20.340
I have to buy into this whole aspect
00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:22.423
of money and earning money.
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.273
Yeah.
00:40:27.650 --> 00:40:28.950
The other option is that I
00:40:30.827 --> 00:40:31.700
could just become a gypsy
00:40:31.700 --> 00:40:33.360
and live on the road with my horses.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.223
But that gives us no security.
00:40:36.660 --> 00:40:40.940
I've gotten to the point where I,
00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:45.290
I'm gonna have to earn enough money to buy land
00:40:45.290 --> 00:40:47.627
and say that I own the land
00:40:47.627 --> 00:40:50.250
and now I can stay on it.
00:40:50.250 --> 00:40:52.483
And I can have my horses on my land.
00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:57.086
It's a conundrum.
00:40:57.086 --> 00:40:59.586
(dog barking)
00:41:00.917 --> 00:41:01.750
Coco.
00:41:03.349 --> 00:41:05.020
It's not even very deep, is it?
00:41:05.020 --> 00:41:06.240
This is where you went wrong, Coco.
00:41:06.240 --> 00:41:08.683
You should've come in from the top.
00:41:08.683 --> 00:41:09.533
It's only a baby.
00:41:11.010 --> 00:41:11.843
Gotcha.
00:41:11.843 --> 00:41:12.676
So scared.
00:41:14.862 --> 00:41:17.290
No, no, no.
00:41:17.290 --> 00:41:18.640
Better than down the pants.
00:41:22.734 --> 00:41:23.884
The kids will love you.
00:41:26.136 --> 00:41:29.230
(door creaking)
00:41:29.230 --> 00:41:32.063
(engine rumbling)
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.230
(water sloshing)
00:41:48.150 --> 00:41:49.600
He's yielding to my pressure.
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:53.243
I had him here on the slippery ground first.
00:41:54.846 --> 00:41:55.679
Good boy.
00:42:07.450 --> 00:42:09.780
We've got similar hair, me and him.
00:42:13.670 --> 00:42:14.520
He's fairly good.
00:42:18.150 --> 00:42:19.980
You've gotta be firm on them though.
00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:22.570
I don't mean firm as in hard, I mean,
00:42:22.570 --> 00:42:23.570
he just stepped then
00:42:25.109 --> 00:42:26.170
and I didn't tell him to step,
00:42:26.170 --> 00:42:29.433
so I put him back pretty much basically where he was.
00:42:31.410 --> 00:42:34.323
And it's, you know, it's discipline.
00:42:35.930 --> 00:42:40.930
It's yielding to my control and my...
00:42:40.930 --> 00:42:41.763
authority.
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.195
As man should be to God.
00:42:47.195 --> 00:42:49.445
(laughing)
00:42:50.310 --> 00:42:53.380
He got a soft knock on the nose to tell him to stand up
00:42:53.380 --> 00:42:54.470
and he fought that so then he got
00:42:54.470 --> 00:42:56.000
a heavier knock on the nose
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:58.830
and it got heavier and heavier with the rope,
00:42:58.830 --> 00:43:01.190
I used the rope to knock him on the nose
00:43:01.190 --> 00:43:03.010
with the rope holder
00:43:03.010 --> 00:43:04.890
and it got heavier and heavier that he learned,
00:43:04.890 --> 00:43:08.293
that the soft one means the same thing as the heavy one.
00:43:09.450 --> 00:43:11.773
Yeah, so why not just yield to the soft one?
00:43:13.240 --> 00:43:15.130
So, I guess, in a way they are broken.
00:43:15.130 --> 00:43:17.180
They do yield to it or they submit to it.
00:43:20.830 --> 00:43:23.680
I don't think without it you can work on the partnership.
00:43:24.932 --> 00:43:26.730
It's like me in Colleen.
00:43:26.730 --> 00:43:29.680
We got a partnership going with the family.
00:43:29.680 --> 00:43:31.194
But I'm still the master.
00:43:31.194 --> 00:43:32.027
-: Is that right?
00:43:32.027 --> 00:43:34.687
(laughing)
00:43:34.687 --> 00:43:36.415
Yeah, you're funny, all right.
00:43:36.415 --> 00:43:39.103
(Peter laughing)
00:43:39.103 --> 00:43:40.708
(melancholy guitar music)
00:43:40.708 --> 00:43:43.625
(thunder rumbling)
00:43:46.377 --> 00:43:48.710
(scrapping)
00:43:52.173 --> 00:43:54.000
Peter Voiceover: There's a saying that
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:55.623
there's nothing better for the inside of a man
00:43:55.623 --> 00:43:57.343
than the outside of a horse.
00:43:58.690 --> 00:44:01.540
That's based on just the sight of a horse.
00:44:01.540 --> 00:44:03.970
A beautiful horse is a compelling thing
00:44:03.970 --> 00:44:07.003
to stir the inside of one's soul.
00:44:11.160 --> 00:44:13.203
It goes a bit deeper than that for me.
00:44:15.278 --> 00:44:16.490
It's the inside of a horse,
00:44:16.490 --> 00:44:18.420
it's that spirit inside them
00:44:18.420 --> 00:44:19.950
and that soul inside them that
00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:22.910
it reflects myself.
00:44:22.910 --> 00:44:25.134
It reflects the inner person.
00:44:25.134 --> 00:44:26.930
(thunder rumbling)
00:44:26.930 --> 00:44:30.320
A horse, to me represents, a working horse represents,
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.870
the same way I can craft myself and form myself.
00:44:33.870 --> 00:44:37.890
Because you really hear all this
00:44:37.890 --> 00:44:41.333
to form yourself into something worth being proud of.
00:44:42.850 --> 00:44:45.907
A horse represents practicing of that.
00:44:45.907 --> 00:44:47.838
(water sloshing)
00:44:47.838 --> 00:44:50.890
(thunder rumbling)
00:44:50.890 --> 00:44:53.547
I can take a horse that's a clean animal
00:44:53.547 --> 00:44:57.070
and base instincts and natural instincts
00:44:57.070 --> 00:45:00.540
and I can change those instincts to be of service to me
00:45:01.520 --> 00:45:05.760
but also go against against what natural instincts is has.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:09.440
Because a horse that lets me hop on its back and ride it
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.510
and goes off a cliff for me
00:45:11.510 --> 00:45:14.230
or into a river for me or does all these things
00:45:14.230 --> 00:45:15.530
that I get them to do,
00:45:15.530 --> 00:45:19.272
is actually going against all its natural instincts.
00:45:19.272 --> 00:45:22.109
(horse squealing)
00:45:22.109 --> 00:45:24.942
(rocks crumbling)
00:45:32.410 --> 00:45:34.067
If I look at it sometimes, I look at it
00:45:34.067 --> 00:45:36.270
and I think I'm a slave master.
00:45:36.270 --> 00:45:37.220
Basically, I am.
00:45:37.220 --> 00:45:39.770
I get these animals to do what I want
00:45:39.770 --> 00:45:42.400
and in return they get fed well,
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:44.193
they get cared for, they get loved.
00:45:46.050 --> 00:45:49.210
And that's a fragile relationship
00:45:49.210 --> 00:45:51.950
but you find yourself coming to a relationship
00:45:51.950 --> 00:45:54.540
with the horse where it gets close to equal.
00:45:54.540 --> 00:45:56.640
But I don't know if it ever does get equal
00:45:57.600 --> 00:45:59.280
because it's still my well-being before
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.580
but it gets close to equal
00:46:02.510 --> 00:46:03.343
and you love the animal.
00:46:03.343 --> 00:46:06.560
You know, I've got a few horses here that I love dearly.
00:46:06.560 --> 00:46:09.438
It takes a lot to get that relationship.
00:46:09.438 --> 00:46:12.605
(somber guitar music)
00:46:20.647 --> 00:46:23.480
(birds squawking)
00:46:24.430 --> 00:46:26.480
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Those places called Ruahine Range,
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:27.680
it belongs to our tribe.
00:46:32.600 --> 00:46:35.240
Dad keeps most of his horses up in the mountains.
00:46:35.240 --> 00:46:37.120
He's been breeding them for a long time.
00:46:37.120 --> 00:46:38.563
Some of them are still wild.
00:46:40.395 --> 00:46:41.430
-: To come up hunting and check on them
00:46:41.430 --> 00:46:43.570
and see the new foals in the spring
00:46:43.570 --> 00:46:44.733
and to watch them grow.
00:46:45.694 --> 00:46:47.394
Sometimes I come up here and it's,
00:46:48.290 --> 00:46:49.430
we might have had a hard winter
00:46:49.430 --> 00:46:51.320
or some heavy snows or something
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:52.690
and you lose some.
00:46:52.690 --> 00:46:54.370
You might see an old mare,
00:46:54.370 --> 00:46:56.070
you might find her dead somewhere.
00:46:57.580 --> 00:47:00.093
Yeah, it can be a bit sad sometimes but...
00:47:01.940 --> 00:47:05.013
Just watch them left to be horses.
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:22.207
To let them,
00:47:22.207 --> 00:47:24.170
let them breathe and grow up
00:47:26.326 --> 00:47:28.953
and catch them and handle them and take them out.
00:47:31.179 --> 00:47:32.012
Yeah.
00:47:33.243 --> 00:47:34.517
Sell 'em.
00:47:34.517 --> 00:47:36.920
Now I've got the business of the horse trekking on the beach
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.713
where I need most of them.
00:47:38.713 --> 00:47:39.809
(thunder rumbling)
00:47:39.809 --> 00:47:41.790
So I'll probably still sell them, a couple.
00:47:41.790 --> 00:47:43.003
Here comes some rain.
00:47:44.267 --> 00:47:47.070
(rain tapping)
00:47:47.070 --> 00:47:48.490
Sometimes it rains just drizzling like that
00:47:48.490 --> 00:47:50.963
and it's not blowing then it's good for hunting.
00:47:52.220 --> 00:47:53.370
Keeps the animals calm.
00:47:54.273 --> 00:47:57.440
(somber guitar music)
00:48:10.649 --> 00:48:12.100
You see an animal,
00:48:12.100 --> 00:48:13.070
a living being,
00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:17.380
and you're gonna continue your life or sustain your life
00:48:17.380 --> 00:48:19.680
by taking the life of that other living thing.
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:23.360
I'm taking everything from this animal.
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.166
I'm taking its life.
00:48:25.166 --> 00:48:27.143
It's not a quick, guiltless process.
00:48:28.520 --> 00:48:32.615
I wanna take all care to kill this animal in one shot.
00:48:32.615 --> 00:48:35.782
(somber guitar music)
00:48:36.707 --> 00:48:39.000
I think there's a responsibility, or an oweness on me,
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.073
to do that because of what the animal is giving me.
00:48:43.070 --> 00:48:46.730
This is the difference between hunting to kill something
00:48:46.730 --> 00:48:49.063
and hunting to sustain yourself.
00:48:50.434 --> 00:48:53.601
(somber string music)
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:57.465
And it's more about being true to your morals,
00:48:57.465 --> 00:48:59.289
or your integrity.
00:48:59.289 --> 00:49:00.716
Just a respect with God,
00:49:00.716 --> 00:49:03.453
that everything that lives is holy.
00:49:04.520 --> 00:49:05.830
Having that in your life
00:49:05.830 --> 00:49:09.140
helps you to make decisions based on a conscience
00:49:09.140 --> 00:49:11.252
rather than rules.
00:49:11.252 --> 00:49:14.419
(somber guitar music)
00:49:19.220 --> 00:49:20.053
Don't get me wrong,
00:49:20.053 --> 00:49:22.056
I love to hun because it,
00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:24.430
it does something in me,
00:49:24.430 --> 00:49:27.253
it makes me feel, makes me feel pure.
00:49:28.350 --> 00:49:30.940
To go out there and to,
00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:31.900
to work,
00:49:31.900 --> 00:49:32.750
you know, it's...
00:49:33.666 --> 00:49:36.560
You know, I could spend a day at the freezing works,
00:49:36.560 --> 00:49:38.650
killing cattle and working,
00:49:38.650 --> 00:49:40.193
and not working really hard.
00:49:41.060 --> 00:49:43.210
Not working myself into a sweat
00:49:43.210 --> 00:49:46.180
and earn enough that day to maybe buy
00:49:46.180 --> 00:49:48.243
half a side of venison, half a deer.
00:49:51.170 --> 00:49:54.043
And there's no satisfaction in it.
00:49:56.840 --> 00:49:59.160
Here I work hard and I'll be sweating,
00:49:59.160 --> 00:50:02.450
you know, to shoot a dear down in some gully.
00:50:02.450 --> 00:50:04.140
You've gotta carry it up, and there'll be times
00:50:04.140 --> 00:50:05.797
when I'll just be sitting there thinking,
00:50:05.797 --> 00:50:07.077
"I don't know if I can go any further
00:50:07.077 --> 00:50:09.174
"with this thing on my back."
00:50:09.174 --> 00:50:10.520
I cleared the rifle up,
00:50:10.520 --> 00:50:12.571
the scope was clear,
00:50:12.571 --> 00:50:14.230
and Nick shot this one.
00:50:14.230 --> 00:50:15.313
There's Nick.
00:50:17.200 --> 00:50:18.043
Nice little pig.
00:50:19.250 --> 00:50:20.790
Nice little porker.
00:50:20.790 --> 00:50:23.142
Peter Voiceover: It's a lot more work.
00:50:23.142 --> 00:50:26.280
But it makes me feel good, it makes me feel healthy.
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:27.439
-: He's healthy.
00:50:27.439 --> 00:50:29.226
Got a little bit of fat in him.
00:50:29.226 --> 00:50:31.893
(flies buzzing)
00:50:37.008 --> 00:50:37.841
Ah.
00:50:37.841 --> 00:50:38.700
Have a shower.
00:50:38.700 --> 00:50:40.200
Hang him up and have a shower.
00:50:45.060 --> 00:50:47.190
I'm not worried about being a great hunter
00:50:47.190 --> 00:50:49.830
and mounting heads and putting them up on my wall
00:50:49.830 --> 00:50:51.180
and all that sort of thing.
00:50:53.610 --> 00:50:55.160
Because that's not why I do it.
00:50:57.130 --> 00:50:59.250
I put meat on the table and that's what I want.
00:50:59.250 --> 00:51:01.400
I don't wanna be known as the great hunter.
00:51:03.275 --> 00:51:05.830
But it makes me feel great to provide food.
00:51:07.723 --> 00:51:09.940
(bird whistling)
00:51:09.940 --> 00:51:13.820
I've got great memories of my childhood or when I was young,
00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:16.120
coming up into the mountains here with my dad.
00:51:17.504 --> 00:51:20.254
(fire crackling)
00:51:21.720 --> 00:51:23.770
Great memories of me and my wife
00:51:23.770 --> 00:51:25.053
before we were even courting.
00:51:25.053 --> 00:51:28.320
We were good friends and used to come up here
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.033
and spend long periods up here.
00:51:32.527 --> 00:51:33.923
We'd just come up here and
00:51:35.410 --> 00:51:37.773
bring food and stay until the food ran out.
00:51:39.730 --> 00:51:40.950
Colleen might say
00:51:40.950 --> 00:51:43.963
that she felt like a fizzy drink or a Rush Munro ice cream.
00:51:45.130 --> 00:51:47.380
So we'd pack up and ride out all of a sudden,
00:51:48.580 --> 00:51:50.632
after spending a few weeks in here.
00:51:50.632 --> 00:51:52.843
(pleasant guitar music)
00:51:52.843 --> 00:51:55.676
(insects buzzing)
00:52:08.797 --> 00:52:11.547
(monkey hooting)
00:52:12.866 --> 00:52:13.980
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Dad found us a new house
00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:14.980
on the edge of town.
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:19.080
We had to change schools again but our new school was cool.
00:52:19.080 --> 00:52:20.157
Llewelyn: And there's this one.
00:52:20.157 --> 00:52:21.530
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] And we learn Māori,
00:52:21.530 --> 00:52:23.347
English and Spanish.
00:52:23.347 --> 00:52:24.180
-: [Colleen Voiceover] It's really nice
00:52:24.180 --> 00:52:26.011
to have a home that's specious.
00:52:26.011 --> 00:52:27.543
(baby cooing)
00:52:27.543 --> 00:52:29.926
-: This the room where we can play.
00:52:29.926 --> 00:52:31.786
-: That's the timeout room.
00:52:31.786 --> 00:52:33.050
We're gonna get a lock on it.
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:37.140
-: But with more room we tend to want more space.
00:52:37.140 --> 00:52:39.050
The children tend to go to their rooms
00:52:39.050 --> 00:52:40.250
and play with there things
00:52:40.250 --> 00:52:41.880
and we've kind of divided.
00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:43.800
Whereas, in our little shed,
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.120
we were all in one room,
00:52:45.120 --> 00:52:47.823
we were more content to be with one another.
00:52:49.270 --> 00:52:51.720
I liked it better, I felt there was more happiness
00:52:51.720 --> 00:52:54.980
in a smaller home than I do in a bigger one.
00:52:54.980 --> 00:52:56.449
-: It's a little bit messy!
00:52:56.449 --> 00:52:58.940
-: In my room you can get out the window
00:52:58.940 --> 00:53:02.769
and on to the roof and over to Mum's bedroom.
00:53:02.769 --> 00:53:04.336
-: Oh, who knows how many meals.
00:53:04.336 --> 00:53:07.873
Couple of months for two families, anyways.
00:53:07.873 --> 00:53:10.206
At least a couple of months.
00:53:11.590 --> 00:53:13.923
Yeah, most of it's ready to,
00:53:14.779 --> 00:53:18.003
ready to be cut up and bagged in the freezer.
00:53:20.650 --> 00:53:22.667
A hundred years ago we would've smoked most of it,
00:53:22.667 --> 00:53:27.667
made sausages and things instead of packing in the freezer.
00:53:39.007 --> 00:53:42.174
(children chattering)
00:53:43.610 --> 00:53:45.351
You guys want to tie them?
00:53:45.351 --> 00:53:47.243
I'll bag them.
-: Yep.
00:53:47.243 --> 00:53:50.980
(children chattering)
00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:53.480
(baby crying)
00:53:54.590 --> 00:53:56.103
-: That's good tasting meat.
00:53:56.103 --> 00:53:59.234
(baby crying)
00:53:59.234 --> 00:54:00.509
Peter: What's wrong, bugger?
00:54:00.509 --> 00:54:02.471
-: She wants some meat, Peter.
00:54:02.471 --> 00:54:03.304
Ask Daddy.
00:54:05.794 --> 00:54:06.917
(crying)
00:54:06.917 --> 00:54:07.750
That's enough.
00:54:07.750 --> 00:54:09.948
There you go, look.
00:54:09.948 --> 00:54:11.781
Peter: Bacon bread.
00:54:13.186 --> 00:54:16.353
(children chattering)
00:54:22.578 --> 00:54:25.057
(children shouting)
00:54:25.057 --> 00:54:28.057
(hooves thundering)
00:54:35.460 --> 00:54:38.920
Me and Pete talk together about our parenting all the time
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:41.600
and how we can improve
00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:42.593
and often,
00:54:43.750 --> 00:54:44.863
I pray about it.
00:54:46.981 --> 00:54:48.540
About things.
00:54:48.540 --> 00:54:50.280
Actually, quite often I do.
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:51.850
You know, things that bother me
00:54:51.850 --> 00:54:54.450
or I feel like I'm not doing right, I pray about it.
00:55:00.294 --> 00:55:03.044
(child shouting)
00:55:05.850 --> 00:55:08.360
As parents, all we teach them is right and wrong,
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:10.710
and they learn from their brothers and sisters.
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:15.713
Corban ride out to Llewelyn,
00:55:15.713 --> 00:55:18.400
Aurora teaching Salem things
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:21.450
and she makes choices and she sees things and watches things
00:55:21.450 --> 00:55:24.583
and they advise her and then she starts learning.
00:55:26.140 --> 00:55:27.670
Because children want to learn.
00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:29.201
They do.
00:55:29.201 --> 00:55:32.368
(somber guitar music)
00:55:33.898 --> 00:55:37.065
(children chattering)
00:55:38.262 --> 00:55:40.401
(water spraying)
00:55:40.401 --> 00:55:43.234
(balloon popping)
00:55:51.090 --> 00:55:54.420
I knew something was wrong and I had my midwife come over
00:55:56.290 --> 00:55:57.880
and she...
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.470
just checked me over and said it didn't look good.
00:56:01.470 --> 00:56:03.533
She says it looks like baby had died.
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:06.100
My kids just burst out crying,
00:56:06.100 --> 00:56:07.751
which was, yeah,
00:56:07.751 --> 00:56:09.168
mmmm, really sad.
00:56:12.071 --> 00:56:12.904
Mmmmm.
00:56:13.900 --> 00:56:15.750
We just sat there for awhile, crying.
00:56:16.967 --> 00:56:20.967
(children shouting in distance)
00:56:35.020 --> 00:56:37.770
(truck rumbling)
00:56:42.460 --> 00:56:45.210
(birds chirping)
00:56:48.696 --> 00:56:49.776
-: A year, eh?
00:56:49.776 --> 00:56:51.943
A year since it got burnt.
00:56:55.620 --> 00:56:56.510
I stayed away from it.
00:56:56.510 --> 00:56:58.170
I came and had a quick look
00:56:58.170 --> 00:57:00.520
and since I've stayed away from it.
00:57:00.520 --> 00:57:02.603
Because it gets a fury up in me.
00:57:20.456 --> 00:57:21.720
Some photos!
00:57:21.720 --> 00:57:22.553
Unburned!
00:57:24.890 --> 00:57:25.723
Oh man.
00:57:26.620 --> 00:57:28.020
That'll teach me for not looking in here
00:57:28.020 --> 00:57:29.220
when it first burnt down
00:57:30.093 --> 00:57:31.993
for staying away and sulking about it.
00:57:35.042 --> 00:57:36.842
Oh, we thought we lost all of these.
00:57:37.940 --> 00:57:41.033
Here, someone's dug them out somewhere and scattered them.
00:57:44.600 --> 00:57:45.433
Oh, man.
00:57:45.433 --> 00:57:46.933
Colleen is gonna be so happy.
00:57:48.270 --> 00:57:49.627
With my first born.
00:57:49.627 --> 00:57:51.320
(laughing)
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:53.333
There's me with my son and my mother.
00:57:54.890 --> 00:57:56.743
Me at 16 years old.
00:57:59.490 --> 00:58:01.350
There was photos of my dad,
00:58:01.350 --> 00:58:03.320
photos of brothers,
00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:05.370
photos of all of our family.
00:58:05.370 --> 00:58:07.260
We'd sit down in the lounge room, there,
00:58:07.260 --> 00:58:08.730
with all the children,
00:58:08.730 --> 00:58:10.280
just with a big box of photos,
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:12.377
just pulling photos out and the kids would look at it and,
00:58:12.377 --> 00:58:13.537
"What was this horse's name?
00:58:13.537 --> 00:58:15.427
"What was this dog's name?
00:58:15.427 --> 00:58:16.697
"Is that Dad, is that Mum?
00:58:16.697 --> 00:58:17.530
"Who's that?
00:58:17.530 --> 00:58:18.363
"Is that Uncle Carey?
00:58:19.927 --> 00:58:20.900
"Is that Papa?"
00:58:20.900 --> 00:58:22.330
Yeah.
00:58:22.330 --> 00:58:24.110
Spend the whole night doing that.
00:58:24.110 --> 00:58:24.943
Yeah.
00:58:24.943 --> 00:58:26.677
It was something special we'd do now and again.
00:58:29.521 --> 00:58:32.977
My dad put a trespass order against me apparently.
00:58:34.160 --> 00:58:35.810
He did it when I was living here.
00:58:37.530 --> 00:58:39.610
How can you give a tenant a trespass notice?
00:58:39.610 --> 00:58:41.483
He did it because he was angry.
00:58:43.610 --> 00:58:44.960
He acts out of anger a lot.
00:58:46.820 --> 00:58:48.236
-: To be honest,
00:58:48.236 --> 00:58:51.700
I don't now why he really, really does hate Pete.
00:58:51.700 --> 00:58:54.663
His number one goal now is he wants to destroy Peter.
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:59.190
To the point he's even telling people of recent
00:58:59.190 --> 00:59:01.960
that the horse trekking business is his,
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:04.060
that all the horses are his
00:59:04.060 --> 00:59:06.940
and that Peter owes him big time.
00:59:06.940 --> 00:59:09.570
And it's like we've totally withdrawn ourselves
00:59:09.570 --> 00:59:11.670
so that he has nothing to do with us
00:59:11.670 --> 00:59:14.263
but he's going out there to do it.
00:59:16.406 --> 00:59:18.920
-: Our bed was here and I liked it here
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:20.120
because it was familiar.
00:59:21.180 --> 00:59:22.780
And I'd see that view out the window, there,
00:59:22.780 --> 00:59:25.020
I remember laying in my bed and that view
00:59:25.020 --> 00:59:26.570
out the window in the mornings.
00:59:28.200 --> 00:59:29.470
I remember the fireplace going.
00:59:29.470 --> 00:59:32.510
Me and Colleen having the fireplace going in the winter.
00:59:32.510 --> 00:59:33.780
In our bedroom.
00:59:33.780 --> 00:59:35.179
I just took it for granted.
00:59:35.179 --> 00:59:37.893
I thought that I'd always have it.
00:59:39.260 --> 00:59:41.923
Yeah, we were gonna re-pile it and do it all up.
00:59:44.780 --> 00:59:45.613
And honor it.
00:59:47.950 --> 00:59:49.343
Honor the house.
00:59:53.150 --> 00:59:56.620
Coll, come and have a look what I found.
00:59:56.620 --> 00:59:58.054
Elias: All right.
00:59:58.054 --> 01:00:00.588
Aurora: What's in the thing?
01:00:00.588 --> 01:00:01.421
-: Come here, you.
01:00:01.421 --> 01:00:03.841
-: Those are all out negatives.
01:00:03.841 --> 01:00:05.507
(gasping)
That's when Wely was a baby.
01:00:05.507 --> 01:00:07.314
I must've took it out of his album.
01:00:07.314 --> 01:00:08.481
Oh, brilliant!
01:00:11.630 --> 01:00:13.510
-: Walked in the house and I see this photo, here,
01:00:13.510 --> 01:00:15.100
sitting on the ground.
01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:16.937
I found the pages of this.
01:00:16.937 --> 01:00:18.642
-: How come no one noticed those before?
01:00:18.642 --> 01:00:19.475
-: I don't know.
01:00:19.475 --> 01:00:22.650
Because I was sulking and didn't go through everything.
01:00:22.650 --> 01:00:25.300
I didn't pull open boxes like people have been doing.
01:00:26.520 --> 01:00:29.417
Look at these, and the photos are...
01:00:30.441 --> 01:00:32.941
(baby crying)
01:00:36.399 --> 01:00:39.732
(pleasant guitar music)
01:00:43.114 --> 01:00:45.947
(insects buzzing)
01:00:52.604 --> 01:00:53.952
(water flowing)
01:00:53.952 --> 01:00:56.619
(horse huffing)
01:00:59.380 --> 01:01:01.713
(splashing)
01:01:17.315 --> 01:01:19.648
(splashing)
01:01:27.368 --> 01:01:29.701
(splashing)
01:01:31.188 --> 01:01:32.021
Woo!
01:01:42.985 --> 01:01:45.818
(water splashing)
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:50.233
(insects buzzing)
01:01:52.765 --> 01:01:55.848
(muffled chattering)
01:02:11.421 --> 01:02:14.088
(horse huffing)
01:02:29.624 --> 01:02:32.374
(grass rustling)
01:02:36.690 --> 01:02:37.773
Come on, pal.
01:02:43.526 --> 01:02:46.276
(horses huffing)
01:02:51.922 --> 01:02:54.172
-: Pretty slippery, eh, Dad?
01:03:04.226 --> 01:03:07.059
(horses grunting)
01:03:13.287 --> 01:03:16.454
(somber guitar music)
01:03:20.188 --> 01:03:21.021
Whoa.
01:03:24.769 --> 01:03:26.567
-: Just slowly take a couple of steps forward.
01:03:26.567 --> 01:03:28.150
Let him dip across.
01:03:31.282 --> 01:03:34.449
(somber guitar music)
01:04:09.784 --> 01:04:13.226
(insects buzzing)
01:04:13.226 --> 01:04:15.306
(horse screaming)
01:04:15.306 --> 01:04:18.056
(rocks rustling)
01:04:21.410 --> 01:04:24.690
(horse squealing)
01:04:24.690 --> 01:04:27.943
Oh, she's the bloody bitch that's been pulling back.
01:04:29.416 --> 01:04:31.763
She pulled back and pulled one of them off the cliff.
01:04:32.890 --> 01:04:34.271
We lost one and so she was hanging
01:04:34.271 --> 01:04:36.653
and this one was hold her by her tail.
01:04:36.653 --> 01:04:37.750
The other one was holding her by her head,
01:04:37.750 --> 01:04:39.383
hanging off the edge of the cliff.
01:04:40.690 --> 01:04:41.960
I had to cut her out.
01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:43.050
She fell off the edge
01:04:45.444 --> 01:04:46.277
and rolled down.
01:04:47.435 --> 01:04:50.768
(dramatic guitar music)
01:05:09.469 --> 01:05:12.302
(rocks crumbling)
01:05:16.232 --> 01:05:18.982
(horse grunting)
01:05:21.693 --> 01:05:24.360
(horse huffing)
01:05:29.618 --> 01:05:32.035
She's kind of invincible, eh?
01:05:33.261 --> 01:05:34.555
Is that blood coming off her chest?
01:05:34.555 --> 01:05:36.098
-: Yeah.
01:05:36.098 --> 01:05:37.998
She's got blood here and blood on her.
01:05:45.048 --> 01:05:45.881
Shit.
01:05:47.606 --> 01:05:48.439
-: Come on.
01:05:48.439 --> 01:05:51.939
Nick: Get up there, come on, up you go!
01:06:02.737 --> 01:06:03.830
-: I should've let them out.
01:06:03.830 --> 01:06:06.395
I should've let them.
01:06:06.395 --> 01:06:08.926
She went for a fall, she went tumbling over.
01:06:08.926 --> 01:06:11.676
Easily busted her leg, I thought.
01:06:13.317 --> 01:06:15.400
Nick: Got a nick here.
01:06:17.841 --> 01:06:20.304
There's a poke in the chest that has me worried.
01:06:20.304 --> 01:06:23.847
A little bit of bruising from a branch or something.
01:06:26.710 --> 01:06:28.660
Llewelyn: Look, there's a hole in her chest.
01:06:28.660 --> 01:06:29.493
-: Yeah, I know.
01:06:29.493 --> 01:06:31.643
She got staked, man.
01:06:31.643 --> 01:06:33.142
That was a horrible feeling having that horse
01:06:33.142 --> 01:06:35.693
hanging over a cliff and having to cut her off to drop.
01:06:37.402 --> 01:06:39.553
She went over a couple of times and started rolling.
01:06:41.105 --> 01:06:42.507
(horse grunting)
01:06:42.507 --> 01:06:43.340
Whoa.
01:06:52.977 --> 01:06:54.810
It ain't coming apart.
01:06:56.523 --> 01:06:57.773
Are you better?
01:06:59.699 --> 01:07:03.032
(dramatic guitar music)
01:07:11.563 --> 01:07:14.396
(animals hooting)
01:07:16.081 --> 01:07:18.070
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] That night when we got to the hut,
01:07:18.070 --> 01:07:20.363
all our dad's wild horses were missing.
01:07:21.482 --> 01:07:24.232
(dramatic music)
01:07:27.151 --> 01:07:29.901
(birds chirping)
01:07:33.050 --> 01:07:34.594
Nick: Seen any horses yet?
01:07:34.594 --> 01:07:35.427
Peter: Eh?
01:07:35.427 --> 01:07:36.400
-: Seen any horses yet?
-: No.
01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:38.653
30 horses disappeared into thin air.
01:07:38.653 --> 01:07:40.450
(Llewelyn mumbling)
01:07:40.450 --> 01:07:42.693
I've revolved myself to the fact that
01:07:42.693 --> 01:07:43.883
they're gone.
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:46.373
They were stolen.
01:07:49.179 --> 01:07:50.570
I don't know if there's another name for it.
01:07:50.570 --> 01:07:53.500
You take someone else's horses, they're stolen.
01:07:53.500 --> 01:07:55.380
You come in here and taken them away
01:07:55.380 --> 01:07:57.200
somewhere are your property,
01:07:57.200 --> 01:07:58.033
that's theft.
01:07:59.540 --> 01:08:00.373
We'll go overlook.
01:08:00.373 --> 01:08:01.563
There might be something here.
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:12.151
-: I asked, "Dad, how do you sharpen knives?"
01:08:12.151 --> 01:08:14.210
(flies buzzing)
01:08:14.210 --> 01:08:16.663
Then he told me now that I just keep practicing.
01:08:18.044 --> 01:08:20.294
(clinking)
01:08:33.180 --> 01:08:34.980
Good enough almost pained my finger.
01:08:41.780 --> 01:08:43.424
All done.
01:08:43.424 --> 01:08:46.091
(flies buzzing)
01:08:51.441 --> 01:08:53.041
Now it heaps.
01:08:53.041 --> 01:08:53.874
(chuckling)
01:08:53.874 --> 01:08:55.990
Just a little bits of hair.
01:08:55.990 --> 01:08:57.563
Now my good hair is gone.
01:08:58.577 --> 01:09:00.202
-: Oh man.
01:09:00.202 --> 01:09:01.035
50.
01:09:05.140 --> 01:09:06.950
Peter Voiceover: Well he picks up on everything I do.
01:09:06.950 --> 01:09:09.690
I gotta really, really check myself.
01:09:09.690 --> 01:09:10.790
For a long time, you know,
01:09:10.790 --> 01:09:12.300
I saw all thee good things in him
01:09:12.300 --> 01:09:14.803
that were the good things in me, that I liked.
01:09:16.070 --> 01:09:17.180
And now he's starting to pick up some of
01:09:17.180 --> 01:09:19.447
the bad things in me that I don't like.
01:09:20.364 --> 01:09:22.781
-: Let me look at your finger.
01:09:23.818 --> 01:09:25.463
Llewelyn: It's okay, Dad.
01:09:25.463 --> 01:09:26.813
Peter: It's a paper cut.
01:09:28.086 --> 01:09:29.786
Llewelyn: I know but it stings.
01:09:31.550 --> 01:09:33.210
Peter Voiceover: Of course I'd like him to live by
01:09:33.210 --> 01:09:34.993
morals that I think are right.
01:09:36.420 --> 01:09:38.410
But, you know, he may see things a bit different
01:09:38.410 --> 01:09:39.310
than I see them.
01:09:39.310 --> 01:09:43.865
So I'm hoping he's fortified in his own conscience
01:09:43.865 --> 01:09:46.180
that he'll use it to dictate the decisions
01:09:46.180 --> 01:09:47.723
he makes in his life.
01:09:47.723 --> 01:09:50.556
(insects buzzing)
01:10:08.856 --> 01:10:10.880
-: Can you see how it's easier to keep quiet
01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:12.603
when you walk like that?
01:10:13.511 --> 01:10:15.428
You don't slap it down.
01:10:23.120 --> 01:10:24.080
Funny,
01:10:24.080 --> 01:10:26.477
when I was young, you know, I got into trouble when...
01:10:26.477 --> 01:10:28.240
My old man was a diary keeper
01:10:29.150 --> 01:10:30.417
and he'd keep things in a diary
01:10:30.417 --> 01:10:32.674
and I remember getting in trouble over something
01:10:32.674 --> 01:10:33.920
and he'd pull a diary out
01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:34.940
and start going through a list
01:10:34.940 --> 01:10:36.410
of things that I'd done wrong.
01:10:36.410 --> 01:10:37.243
Yeah?
01:10:38.080 --> 01:10:42.190
Even now, he'll bring up things I did 20 odd years ago.
01:10:43.036 --> 01:10:45.228
You know, when I was a kid I used to sit there
01:10:45.228 --> 01:10:46.240
and he'd be talking to someone
01:10:46.240 --> 01:10:49.800
and he'd tell a story about some magnificent shot
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:52.280
that he pulled off when he was out deer stalking,
01:10:52.280 --> 01:10:53.113
and I remember he used to say to me,
01:10:53.113 --> 01:10:55.390
"Hey, Peter, you remember that?"
01:10:55.390 --> 01:10:57.040
And I'd be there and I'd be like,
01:10:58.930 --> 01:11:01.560
I'd be like, "No, that was John who did that."
01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:03.023
It was someone else's story.
01:11:04.870 --> 01:11:05.735
And then he'd go,
01:11:05.735 --> 01:11:08.038
(speaking foreign language)
01:11:08.038 --> 01:11:11.040
And he told us earlier that that was the sign
01:11:12.410 --> 01:11:15.410
for if we were saying the wrong thing.
01:11:15.410 --> 01:11:17.727
This is at home, he'd pull us aside and he says,
01:11:17.727 --> 01:11:19.277
"If you hear me say this,
01:11:19.277 --> 01:11:21.227
"that means you need to shut your mouth
01:11:22.337 --> 01:11:23.987
"because you're saying the wrong things.
01:11:23.987 --> 01:11:26.420
"And you're gonna get it when you get home."
01:11:26.420 --> 01:11:27.600
Yeah, that was the sign.
01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:29.715
And so we'd be in a conversation like that, you know,
01:11:29.715 --> 01:11:31.587
and he'd be talking to someone
01:11:31.587 --> 01:11:32.943
and I'd say the wrong thing, like,
01:11:32.943 --> 01:11:34.430
"No, no, John pulled off that shot,"
01:11:34.430 --> 01:11:37.998
or Paul or Dave or someone, yeah?
01:11:37.998 --> 01:11:39.854
Or, "No, Dave did that."
01:11:39.854 --> 01:11:41.990
And this is a 10, 12 year old kid,
01:11:41.990 --> 01:11:42.853
and he's bust out,
01:11:42.853 --> 01:11:46.870
(speaking foreign language)
01:11:46.870 --> 01:11:49.033
And people would be like, "What the hell?"
01:11:49.033 --> 01:11:50.360
And then he'd just go back to normal,
01:11:50.360 --> 01:11:52.487
like telling his story, you know?
01:11:53.842 --> 01:11:54.967
Then I'd be thinking, "Oh, shit,
01:11:54.967 --> 01:11:56.677
"I'm in trouble when I get home.
01:11:56.677 --> 01:11:57.977
"I've said the wrong thing.
01:11:57.977 --> 01:11:59.377
"I've done the wrong thing."
01:12:01.870 --> 01:12:03.740
Yeah, I saw that all the time.
01:12:03.740 --> 01:12:04.573
It's just...
01:12:06.807 --> 01:12:07.830
Eh.
01:12:07.830 --> 01:12:10.025
But at the same time, he could be...
01:12:10.025 --> 01:12:11.156
There's a horse.
01:12:11.156 --> 01:12:14.108
At the same time he could be
01:12:14.108 --> 01:12:16.277
quite a neat, sort of interesting person.
01:12:16.277 --> 01:12:17.640
Come on, son, be careful.
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:18.520
Come down here and sit down.
01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:20.020
We'll go down around him.
01:12:20.020 --> 01:12:21.841
If she's down there, there might be more.
01:12:21.841 --> 01:12:22.674
-: Yeah?
01:12:22.674 --> 01:12:24.215
-: Right there, look, you can see without the binocular.
01:12:24.215 --> 01:12:25.186
(Nick mumbling)
01:12:25.186 --> 01:12:26.251
-: No, chestnut.
01:12:26.251 --> 01:12:29.237
(pleasant guitar music)
01:12:29.237 --> 01:12:31.904
(whip cracking)
01:12:37.719 --> 01:12:40.719
(hooves thundering)
01:12:47.154 --> 01:12:49.821
(whip cracking)
01:13:10.055 --> 01:13:12.888
(horses neighing)
01:13:21.246 --> 01:13:23.902
(horses grunting)
01:13:23.902 --> 01:13:26.606
Should be another 30, 35 horses or something
01:13:26.606 --> 01:13:27.939
with those ones.
01:13:28.940 --> 01:13:31.649
The foals that I hadn't seen this year.
01:13:31.649 --> 01:13:32.599
The place is empty.
01:13:34.430 --> 01:13:37.263
(hooves thumping)
01:13:44.670 --> 01:13:45.930
What's the lesson to be learned?
01:13:45.930 --> 01:13:46.910
Yeah, what is the lesson?
01:13:46.910 --> 01:13:47.743
To be meek?
01:13:47.743 --> 01:13:49.273
Is that my lesson?
01:13:49.273 --> 01:13:50.873
Because I have been up till now.
01:13:53.950 --> 01:13:56.560
I've had a lot of things done to me and wanted to lash out.
01:13:56.560 --> 01:13:57.560
And haven't done it.
01:13:59.430 --> 01:14:01.880
Someone burns down my house, threatens my family.
01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:07.923
Steals my horses.
01:14:11.737 --> 01:14:13.720
I think I've been pretty passive about it.
01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:16.185
And maybe they take advantage of that.
01:14:16.185 --> 01:14:18.385
Maybe they take advantage of my good nature.
01:14:19.370 --> 01:14:21.950
Or is that the lesson that maybe I should fight?
01:14:21.950 --> 01:14:23.850
Maybe, hey, you fight for what's right
01:14:24.761 --> 01:14:26.863
and you stand up for what you believe in.
01:14:27.970 --> 01:14:30.701
I've done it in a passive way up till now.
01:14:30.701 --> 01:14:33.508
Llewelyn: That's why he's been getting away with it.
01:14:33.508 --> 01:14:35.074
He hasn't seen the hard you.
01:14:35.074 --> 01:14:37.052
-: The hard me?
01:14:37.052 --> 01:14:38.810
Llewelyn: They'll be pissed off.
01:14:38.810 --> 01:14:41.170
-: See, he knows I'm being meek about it.
01:14:41.170 --> 01:14:43.902
He knows that I could be hard.
01:14:43.902 --> 01:14:44.735
Yeah.
01:14:51.122 --> 01:14:53.613
(thunder rumbling)
01:14:53.613 --> 01:14:56.780
(somber guitar music)
01:15:01.430 --> 01:15:02.930
There's no taking things back.
01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:06.710
Because your words can't be taken back.
01:15:07.810 --> 01:15:09.067
The same with your children.
01:15:09.067 --> 01:15:11.117
You can't take back how you treated them.
01:15:16.020 --> 01:15:17.660
I think there's a huge price to pay
01:15:17.660 --> 01:15:20.800
for people who don't get things right in this life
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:22.150
and don't treat their children right,
01:15:22.150 --> 01:15:24.410
or their spouses right or their fellow men right,
01:15:24.410 --> 01:15:25.453
or themselves right.
01:15:28.308 --> 01:15:30.290
(wind howling)
01:15:30.290 --> 01:15:32.690
Raising children, if you treat them in fairness.
01:15:34.680 --> 01:15:37.710
I treat my children how I would like to have been raised
01:15:37.710 --> 01:15:40.073
now that I have hindsight to look back on it.
01:15:40.943 --> 01:15:43.645
(somber guitar music)
01:15:43.645 --> 01:15:46.478
(insects buzzing)
01:15:55.849 --> 01:16:00.599
-: Mum got it for me at a garage sale for me for a dollar.
01:16:01.940 --> 01:16:03.892
Peter: Who did your hair?
01:16:03.892 --> 01:16:04.725
-: Me.
01:16:06.595 --> 01:16:09.845
(pleasant piano music)
01:16:16.039 --> 01:16:16.872
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Every Sunday
01:16:16.872 --> 01:16:19.543
we put on our nice clothes and go to church.
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:21.633
Peter: Tuck your shirt in, son.
01:16:21.633 --> 01:16:23.260
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Papa Whittle and Nana Patsy
01:16:23.260 --> 01:16:25.163
go to the same church too.
01:16:26.660 --> 01:16:28.120
-: Here we go, one, two, three,
01:16:28.120 --> 01:16:29.453
four, five, six.
01:16:29.453 --> 01:16:30.580
-: Come here.
01:16:30.580 --> 01:16:32.420
The kids love their grandparents.
01:16:32.420 --> 01:16:34.947
They haven't been able to love them as much
01:16:34.947 --> 01:16:37.820
and to grow with them as much as they should.
01:16:37.820 --> 01:16:39.370
Not like they have with my mum.
01:16:40.980 --> 01:16:43.690
Because of the situation that we're in.
01:16:43.690 --> 01:16:44.523
But...
01:16:46.350 --> 01:16:47.830
I think my kids are neat.
01:16:47.830 --> 01:16:49.630
You know, there's been times where
01:16:49.630 --> 01:16:50.880
their nanny has walked passed them.
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:53.993
I saw my son, Malachi, grab her hand,
01:16:55.108 --> 01:16:57.900
and say, "Hello, Nanny."
(crying)
01:17:04.460 --> 01:17:06.830
It's neat they reach out to them.
01:17:09.726 --> 01:17:10.893
Child: Mum?
01:17:12.151 --> 01:17:14.901
(metal creaking)
01:17:17.170 --> 01:17:20.253

(crunching)
01:17:55.144 --> 01:17:57.839
-: Turn it off and turn it away.
01:17:57.839 --> 01:18:00.073
Woman: We can turn it away.
01:18:00.073 --> 01:18:01.482
Whittle: Hey. Hey.
01:18:01.482 --> 01:18:03.158
I asked you to do something.
01:18:03.158 --> 01:18:04.597
Turn it off and turn it away.
01:18:04.597 --> 01:18:06.353
I know who you are.
01:18:06.353 --> 01:18:08.103
Woman: Well, that's okay you know.
01:18:08.103 --> 01:18:09.654
Whittle: And I know what you've been doing.
01:18:09.654 --> 01:18:11.322
Woman: What do you think we've been doing?
01:18:11.322 --> 01:18:14.343
Whittle: Filming the clown that used to live in there.
01:18:14.343 --> 01:18:15.306
Woman: Is that your son?
01:18:15.306 --> 01:18:16.615
Whittle: He's not my son.
01:18:16.615 --> 01:18:18.897
That's my wife's son.
01:18:18.897 --> 01:18:19.730
All right?
01:18:21.553 --> 01:18:23.185
There is a difference.
01:18:23.185 --> 01:18:24.018
Woman: I have a stepdaughter,
01:18:24.018 --> 01:18:25.570
I don't treat her any different to my other children
01:18:25.570 --> 01:18:26.562
and I never would.
01:18:26.562 --> 01:18:28.850
Whittle: That's right, I don't either.
01:18:28.850 --> 01:18:32.842
But there's something for someone else to learn a lesson.
01:18:32.842 --> 01:18:33.675
All right?
01:18:41.010 --> 01:18:42.823
Just sorry about that.
01:18:42.823 --> 01:18:45.164
Woman: No, I find it very distasteful but it's all right.
01:18:45.164 --> 01:18:46.020
Whittle: Course it is.
01:18:46.020 --> 01:18:47.790
Very, very distasteful.
01:18:47.790 --> 01:18:50.863
When a son sets about to assert power,
01:18:50.863 --> 01:18:53.132
now I know that thing's still going,
01:18:53.132 --> 01:18:54.550
'cos he thinks I'm a clown.
01:18:54.550 --> 01:18:55.569
Woman: No, I don't think you're a clown
01:18:55.569 --> 01:18:58.005
and he works for me, so it's not his responsibility,
01:18:58.005 --> 01:18:58.838
it's mine.
01:18:58.838 --> 01:18:59.671
Whittle: He's lucky he's still standing.
01:18:59.671 --> 01:19:01.900
Woman: No, he's on public land and he works for me.
01:19:01.900 --> 01:19:03.470
Whittle: Hey, let me tell you something.
01:19:03.470 --> 01:19:04.770
Doesn't matter where you stand
01:19:04.770 --> 01:19:07.680
where offenses of crime are committed.
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:09.088
Understand that.
01:19:09.088 --> 01:19:10.270
All right?
01:19:10.270 --> 01:19:12.507
You ever heard of the doctrine or the scripture,
01:19:12.507 --> 01:19:15.371
"honor thy father and thy mother?"
01:19:15.371 --> 01:19:17.355
Woman: Certainly, I have.
01:19:17.355 --> 01:19:19.000
Whittle: And that's the underpinning principle
01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:20.850
of which I talk about this.
01:19:22.139 --> 01:19:23.472
Woman: Right.
01:19:24.550 --> 01:19:25.700
Whittle: When you understand that
01:19:25.700 --> 01:19:27.072
and comprehend that,
01:19:27.072 --> 01:19:30.072
it is worthwhile telling your story.
01:19:31.230 --> 01:19:32.370
Woman: Did you burn it down?
01:19:32.370 --> 01:19:33.255
Whittle: Pardon?
01:19:33.255 --> 01:19:34.088
Woman: Did you burn it down?
01:19:34.088 --> 01:19:35.490
Whittle: No, I didn't.
01:19:35.490 --> 01:19:38.710
I have a feeling in my heart who burnt it down.
01:19:38.710 --> 01:19:42.040
But one day, someone will have to make an account of that.
01:19:42.040 --> 01:19:42.873
One day.
01:19:44.500 --> 01:19:45.613
Definitely wasn't me.
01:19:49.755 --> 01:19:51.338
Enjoy your filming.
01:19:52.821 --> 01:19:55.904
(machinery rumbling)
01:19:58.587 --> 01:20:01.754
(somber guitar music)
01:20:11.480 --> 01:20:14.010
-: Me brothers and sisters all used to carve their names
01:20:14.010 --> 01:20:14.843
into this house.
01:20:15.690 --> 01:20:17.770
This is Yvonne Karena.
01:20:17.770 --> 01:20:18.640
For...
01:20:18.640 --> 01:20:21.650
R.N., who would that be?
01:20:21.650 --> 01:20:22.740
There's Aaron Karena.
01:20:22.740 --> 01:20:25.060
Aaron Karena for Lynn Hawkins.
01:20:25.060 --> 01:20:27.060
Lynn Hawkins is Darrel Hawkins' brother.
01:20:28.530 --> 01:20:30.810
M.N. would me Michelle Nooker.
01:20:30.810 --> 01:20:32.650
Lynn Hawkins.
01:20:32.650 --> 01:20:34.470
Michael Karena.
01:20:34.470 --> 01:20:35.580
Yvonne Karena.
01:20:35.580 --> 01:20:37.560
Aaron plus Lynn.
01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:39.493
There's been a lot of people who lived here.
01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:44.233
My dad's parents,
01:20:45.260 --> 01:20:46.273
their parents.
01:20:48.797 --> 01:20:51.195
And their parents before them.
01:20:51.195 --> 01:20:54.230
(somber guitar music)
01:20:54.230 --> 01:20:58.340
There's greed and money and pride that lead to this.
01:21:06.617 --> 01:21:07.940
"Corban," look,
01:21:07.940 --> 01:21:09.940
there's some stars and moons and things.
01:21:13.519 --> 01:21:14.653
What did I do?
01:21:17.460 --> 01:21:19.560
I didn't agree with my dad on some things.
01:21:20.864 --> 01:21:21.697
Yeah.
01:21:25.450 --> 01:21:26.800
Didn't have to be that way.
01:21:30.731 --> 01:21:31.614
Yeah.
01:21:31.614 --> 01:21:34.781
(somber guitar music)
01:21:35.776 --> 01:21:37.220
-: [Llewelyn Voiceover] Our house that burnt down
01:21:37.220 --> 01:21:38.483
was really special.
01:21:42.779 --> 01:21:44.047
It was warm.
01:21:44.047 --> 01:21:45.750
It was loving.
01:21:45.750 --> 01:21:47.393
And we had lots of family.
01:21:48.787 --> 01:21:51.954
(somber guitar music)
01:21:57.593 --> 01:21:59.927
-: It's the old adage, what we say to our children.
01:21:59.927 --> 01:22:02.277
"Would you like it if someone did that to you?"
01:22:04.220 --> 01:22:05.053
No.
01:22:06.087 --> 01:22:08.494
"Do you think it's fair that you do it to them?"
01:22:08.494 --> 01:22:09.327
No.
01:22:09.327 --> 01:22:10.943
That's always the answer.
01:22:11.960 --> 01:22:14.072
Except, maybe Malachi sometimes.
01:22:14.072 --> 01:22:14.905
"Yes."
01:22:14.905 --> 01:22:16.968
(laughing)
01:22:16.968 --> 01:22:17.947
"Why is it fair?"
01:22:19.660 --> 01:22:23.053
I grew up with this thing on us that we had to,
01:22:24.060 --> 01:22:25.660
we owed our parents
01:22:25.660 --> 01:22:27.610
and my dad still says that, we owe him.
01:22:29.270 --> 01:22:33.350
We owe him some great debt because of how he brought us up
01:22:33.350 --> 01:22:35.370
and what he did for us.
01:22:35.370 --> 01:22:36.203
Yeah.
01:22:37.070 --> 01:22:37.903
And...
01:22:39.090 --> 01:22:40.440
It's early days, yet.
01:22:40.440 --> 01:22:42.780
My oldest is in his 11th year.
01:22:42.780 --> 01:22:43.613
But...
01:22:46.430 --> 01:22:48.313
I don't see him owing me anything.
01:22:49.210 --> 01:22:50.500
If anything, I owe him.
01:22:50.500 --> 01:22:51.750
I owe all of my children.
01:22:55.555 --> 01:22:56.388
And...
01:22:57.885 --> 01:22:59.052
And then some.
01:23:01.918 --> 01:23:05.251
(pleasant guitar music)
01:24:01.161 --> 01:24:04.494
(pleasant guitar music)
