"You can see salties-- what the locals call the crocs-- being fed and tour the croc farm." " How do they farm them?" " Same way you farm anything, I suppose." "Breed them, raise them, kill them, sell whatever you can." "Which parts of the crocodile do they sell?" "Mmm, "Crocodiles are harvested at about 18-24 months with four foot being the optimum size for the handbag market."" "Ohh." "It says that in some parts of Southeast Asia the men believe eating the penis will improve their sex drive, and that you'll take on the spirit and the aggression of the crocodile." "The power of the penis." "That's great." "All I can do is to simulate a bird's landed on the water here and swimming across." "So this is a bird." "It's just landed on the water, and the bird is going knee-deep in the water." "Now the bird's start to really muck" "As you approach the water with your billy on your fishing rod, a Mary River crocodile at 1 2 foot-- what does it look like when I'm down there?" "A dirty, great big truck with teeth coming at you." "Do more than two photos because... you stuff up the only photo you took and you're gonna be looking for me when you get back to Sydney." " Lovely." "How's this?" " Smile." ""E.T."" "Umm..." ""Nine Months."" " "Alien"!" " Yes." "There it is." "Drink?" "No, I'm fine." "You have to ask?" "Off the booze?"

"But I like being on the water." ""lf anyone's gonna see it, if anyone's gonna catch it, it's Backwater Barry."" "Gee, is that a barramundi up me bum?" " That's nothing." " lt's just an idea." "No, it's okay." "Let's do that." "Yeah?" "It'll be fun." "Mmm." "Okay." "Hmm." "Well, this must be it." "Looks pretty upmarket." "Yeah." "Hello!" "Yeah, come on through." " How can I help you?" " We're after Barry to do the tour." "Ah, just missed him." "Went out about five minutes ago." "You want to do some fishing?" "Yeah, and see the river." "I can take you out." " You interested?" " Sure." " Yeah." " That'd be great." "All right." "Let's get you fitted up then, eh?" "Excellent." "What?" "Pregnant." "You are, aren't you?" " l'm gonna be an auntie." " Yeah, shh."

"You can take these." " l'll meet you out there." " Beaut." "Lucky it's the wet season." "River's in flood and the king tides are running, so there's a lot more water." " What's a king tide?" " Really high tides that happen around Christmas." "The best time to fish." "With all the extra water, it's pretty lively on the river." "is that why you brought a gun?" "No." "No, that's just Barry's insurance policy." "He can remember the old days before all the crocs had moved out of here." "Now they've all been shot or taken to farms." "Who's up for a drink?" " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "What was that?" " Wanna hop over there, mate?" " Cheers." "It's floated down from upstream somewhere." "We'll take it with us." "Jump back in?" " Shall we go further up?" " Oh, yeah." "Yeah?" "Let's do it." " Get a minnow?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "This is excellent." "Even though the tide's running out, there's still a lot of water up here." "That's just right." "Cool." "Let's get a line in, eh?" "Yeah." " Just...?" " Yeah, just out there." " Ooh." " Hey!" " Woo!" " Very nice." "Something's there." " Whoa!" " Take it easy." "No, I've got it." "Come on, come on, come on!" "Pick it up." " What's that?" " What?" "I don't know." "Shit!" " What happened?" " Just a fucking croc." " What?" " There's a croc in here!" " Get up the tree." " Where's Lee?" "Get up the tree." "I'll get her." " Lee!" "Lee!" " Grace, just get out of the water!" " Just get up the tree." " Okay okay." " Okay!" "Okay okay!" " You all right?" "Lee!"

" Get up the tree!" " Okay okay." " We've got to get her." " Yeah." "I think it might've gone." " What makes you say that?" " The body's gone." " Jim?" " Yeah." "Before I saw it coming for you, I saw Jim's body floating over there." " l can't see anything." " Trust me, it was there!" "Lee!" "Lee, are you okay?" " We've got to get her out of there." " Yeah." "We're also gonna need the boat." " l'll go out there." " Are you crazy?" "Maybe it's gone, maybe it hasn't!" "What's the use of getting the boat?" "It flipped over once, it can happen again." "How else are we gonna get out of here?" " We can't stay in the tree." " Why not?" " Someone will come looking." " Who?" "!" "Who, Grace?" "No one saw us leave." "No one knows we're here." "The rope." "If she can get the rope to us, we can pull her across." "Okay." "Okay, let's try that." "Lee, the rope at the front of the boat, can you reach it?" " Yeah, but..." " Can you throw it to me?" " l'll go." " No." "No." "Catch it, all right?" "Catch it!" "I will." "Fuck!" "Fuck." "It's okay." "It's okay." " Can you see it?" " No." "Come on, Lee, you can do it this time." "Come on." " Come on." " Just give yourself a bit of slack." "Okay." "I'm here." "I'm here, darling." "Big throw." " Fuck." " lt's okay, don't move. I'll get it." "Give us a branch." "Just above you." "Here." "Here, got it?" "Fuck." "I'm not going in the water again. I can't." "Here, wrap it around your hand." "Okay." "Okay, one, two, three." "Must be stuck on a log." "It's all right, Lee." "Okay." "Lee, I've tied off the rope, okay?" "If you can get in the water slowly you can use the rope to guide yourself over, okay?" "Lee, you can do it, okay?" "Come on!" "Better get up." "Okay." "Okay." "Come on." "Okay okay, I'm going." "That's it." "That's it." "Keep coming." "Keep coming." "Swim!" " Lee, Come on!" " Come on." "I got you." "I got you." "That's it." "That's it." " That's it." " Okay, all right." " Come on." " You got her?" "Yeah, I've got her." "You're there." "You're okay, baby." "You're okay." " You're okay." " Here, grab the rope." "I've got it." " All right." " lt's okay." " You got it?" " Oh, fuck." "That was amazing." "It was bloody amazing." "Ahh." "Oh, shit." " Your ankle, is it okay?" " lt's pretty sore." "Oh my God." "It doesn't look good." " Ouch." " Shit." "Where's Jim?" "He got taken." "What?" "!" "How did this happen?" "We were in that boat." "It was a metal boat." "is it still here?" "Don't see it." "So how are we gonna get out of here?" "What are we gonna do?" "We should wait for someone to come for us, shouldn't we?" "Who's gonna come for us?" "I don't know. lsn't that what they say you should do if you get lost in the wild?" "But no one saw us leave, and no one knows we're here." "There's hundreds and hundreds of miles of estuary and mangroves along the river." "No one's coming." "I still think we should just wait." "When did we last see another boat?" "We did see that petrol drum." "That could've been in the water for weeks, months." "Okay, so what's your idea?" "The boat." "The boat?" "Did you miss something, Adam?" "That thing just flipped over as if it was nothing." " You really think we're safe in that?" " lt's our best shot." "Okay, so how do you figure we get to it, flip it, bail it and get out of here without being eaten?" "It's better than waiting to be rescued by people" " who don't know we're missing." " Help!" "Help!" "Can anybody hear me?" "!" "Help!" " Help!" " Help!" " Help!" " Can anybody hear us?" "Gonna die of fucking malaria waiting out here." "Hey, I think I've still got the Rid." "Hey." " Oh, yeah." " Come on, come on, come on." "Fuck." "Come on." "Fuck." "It's dead." "Fuck." "Wait, what've I got?" "Car keys... penknife, my wallet." "One more stamp and I get a free coffee." "What was that?" "I want to get out of here." "Maybe we can use these trees to get out of here." "Look, guys, even if we could get to land, we're miles from anywhere." "The idea of getting lost out here trying to walk back" "Getting lost?" "We're already lost." "We go along this river, we get back where we came from." " Do you know where we are?" " We're on the river." "Do you remember every turn we took?" " l don't need to." " Okay, whatever!" "I think Grace is right." "We should try the trees." "Do you think it's gonna be easy getting around in these trees?" "Look at it." "I'll go check out the trees." "That's all right." "I'll go." "You've lost your glasses, okay?" "And you can't put any weight on that leg." " l'll go." " lt's okay, I'm fine." "Adam, you're half blind without your glasses." "I'm not blind." "I can see, all right?" "Okay, just shuffle back." "I'm moving." " Grace, this is crazy." " Going for the boat isn't?" " You can't go." " Really?" "Why not?" "You just can't." "I'm fine, I'll go now." "Lee, you're not fine." "I am just gonna stick to the trees." "If they run out, I am straight back here." " Okay?" " Okay." "All right." "Hey..." "just be careful, all right?" "Yeah, I will." "It's okay." "Oh my God!" "Adam!" "Grace!" "Grace!" "Grace!" " Grace!" " Adam!" " You all right?" " Here, Grace, here!" "We're just here." "It's okay." "You're okay." "Hey, it's all right." "Come here." "I've got you." "I've got you." " Okay, come on." " Okay okay." " You all right?" " Yeah." " l'm good." " What's wrong." "What happened?" "Nothing." "Nothing nothing." "I just got a little bit spooked, that's all." " l'm okay." "Really, I'm okay." " Good." "Okay... so... we're surrounded by water." "It's a bit of a swim to land, but it's doable." " How far?" " l don't know, like... 50, 100 meters?" "Boat's only just here." "Seems like better odds." " But we can't get to it." " We haven't tried yet." "So... what's it to be?" "The boat... or a 300-meter swim in a croc-infested river?" "It's not 300 meters." "I'm with Grace." "I say we wait." "I think maybe if we wait someone'll come along." "What's that song that kids sing?" "is it three...?" "Three cheeky monkeys sitting in a tree, teasing Mr. Crocodile:" ""Can't catch me."" "Along comes Mr. Crocodile, quiet as can be." "Snap!" "Thank you, Adam." "I think I prefer, "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream."" "So do I." "Let's get the boat and get out of here." "Okay okay, we'll try it your way." "For now." "Thought I was falling." "Can I please have the Rid?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "Oh!" "Shit." "Sorry." "I think it's time to get moving." "The longer we wait, the harder it's going to be to get going." "Look, we've waited." "We've waited... hours to see this fucker, and no show." "I hate to say it, but he's probably still chowing down on Jim, and will be for the rest of the day." "I remember being a kid and spending all afternoon in the cupboard." "I was too scared to come out 'cause I thought my brother was waiting outside to beat the shit out of me." "Thing is, minutes after chasing me into the cupboard he'd gone off with his mates." "It wasn't my brother keeping me in the cupboard, it was me." "It was fear." "If there's no croc down there, what the hell are we doing up here?" "Okay." "You've made your point." "So what's your plan?" "Look, I get over to the boat, I right it, I bring it over here and we get out." " That's your plan?" " That's my plan." "I can go with you." "No." "No, it's best to just risk one of us, okay?" "I'm the strongest. I have the best chance of getting to the boat." "No, don't go." "Grace, we're not gonna be rescued." "Please, don't go." "Just wait a little bit longer." "It's okay." "I'll be right back." " Adam?" " What?" "What is it?" "Grace." "Gracie, Gracie." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I'll be right back." "Okay?" " Okay." " Okay." "Okay." "Oh, thank God." "Jesus." "Give us a bit of slack." " Just need to loosen the rope." " Okay." "Jesus." "Adam?" "No no no no no no no." " No no no no!" " Adam!" "No no, come up!" "Shit!" " No!" " Adam!" "Adam!" "Adam, come up!" "Come up!" "Come up, come up, come up, come up." "Come up!" "Adam!" "Adam!" "Please, let him go!" "Come on, let him go!" "Let him go!" "No!" "Adam!" "It's not gonna leave us alone, is it?" "We're gonna die, aren't we?" "Lee." " Fuck!" " Stop it!" "We're gonna get outta here." "Oh, yeah?" "And how are we gonna do that?" " The boat." " The boat?" "The boat?" "It is so fucking hilarious." "You have no idea, do you?" "Shut up, Lee!" "Shut up!" "I need you to get over there and I need you to keep watch." "Okay?" "!" "Get over there and keep a lookout!" "Get up." "Get up." "That's it." "Hold that." "Give it to me." "Grace." "Grace!" "Grace, he's coming!" "Quick!" " Where is it?" " Quick!" "I'm coming." "I'm coming." " Are you sure you saw it?" " l thought I saw it!" "Shit." "Look, um... I'm gonna go back down." "I'm gonna get a bigger stick and go back down and get the rope." "Okay." "It's coming!" "Can you see it?" "No." "The boat's going out." "Fuck." "He's just there." "Yeah, I know." "Maybe it won't go far." "It's half full of water now." "I didn't tell him, Lee." "I know." "I was going to, but I didn't." "I know." "I'm so sorry." "Hey, we didn't say goodbye." "Maybe we should say goodbye." "Okay." "Good-- goodbye." "Goodbye." " l don't know what to say." " l know." " l don't know what to say." " l know, I know." "Goodbye, baby." "Goodbye." "I'm so thirsty." "I just wish it would rain." "I can't see the boat." "I was thinking... remember when we were kids and we used to have holidays at the beach house?" "Mmm." "And you could always smell when a storm was coming." "It smells like that." "Yeah yeah, it does, doesn't it?" "Remember those brothers?" "Those brothers who were there every year." " Paul." " Yeah, Rick and Paul Davies." "Those boys were always chasing you." "And you were always saving me." "What was that?" "What was that?" "Oh God." "It's eating him." "It's eating him!" " No no no no!" " No no!" " No." " No." "No." "Grace." "Hey, Gracie." "Are you okay?" "Grace, you're scaring me." "You okay?" "Grace." "Hey, listen... I'm so sorry about what happened." "I really am so sorry." "Come on, please." "We have to help ourselves." "Hey, Grace." "Two cheeky monkeys sitting in a tree teasing Mr. Crocodile:" ""You can't catch me."" "Along came Mr. Crocodile quiet as can be." "Snap snap... snap snap... snap snap..." "Thank you." "Thanks a lot." "That's very very helpful." "I'm sorry." "Boat's back." "The wrong tree." "God, we have to do something." "I'm not going back to the boat." "Not after... I'm just so tired." "I'm so thirsty." "I know." "Me too." "What are we gonna do, Gracie?" "Well... the boat's gonna go past." "It's gonna go past up there-- up where we came in." "I don't know." "Maybe... maybe we should see if we can try and get to it." " Using the trees?" " Yeah." "I could go check it out." "Please, can we go together?" "Okay." "Hang on, wait." "Let's do something to try and keep it away." "Okay." "Go away, croc." "Go away." "You're gonna go away-- far far away." "Lee and Grace will be safe." "Lee and Grace will be safe." "Lee and Grace will be safe." " You all right?" " Yeah." "Okay." "I think we should go for that one." "Okay." " Okay?" " Yeah." "Beaut." "We really gonna do this?" "I don't know." "Didn't we just say we were?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's gonna be okay." "Yeah." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." " l think" " What?" "I think we should go back." "Grace, don't do this." "We're almost halfway there." "Okay." "Okay." "Oh!" " What do we do?" " Stay tight." "Stay tight." "That's it." "Keep tight." "Fuck off, you fucker." "Fuck off." "Fuck off." "Grace!" "Grace!" "Grace!" "Grace!" "Grace!" "No, Grace!" "Grace!" "No!" "Oh God!" "Aah!" "Get on there." "Okay okay." "You're all right." "You're all right." "You're all right." "You're all right." "You're okay." "You're okay." "You're okay." "Okay?" "You're okay." " Oh, Lee." " lt's really not that deep." "Grace?" "Grace!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, you have to stay with me, all right?" "Just have to fix your leg." "So you just keep breathing, okay?" "It's all right." "I know, I know, I know!" " Just hold on." "Hold in there." " Fuck!" " Hold on for me." " Fuck, it really hurts." "I know, I know." "There you are." "Shh." "You're okay." "You're okay." "You're okay." "Shh." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "You're okay." "You're okay." "You're okay." " Okay." " You're okay." "It's a boat." "It's a boat!"
