Flash back to Baywara as Gutjuk’s teacher
This stone, this stone is the spear head. It is the rule of law.
It cannot be undone. Hardest stone there is. Baywara could’ve been our greatest teacher. But he lost all that to his anger. (Darrpa)
34: How does Darrpa’s wisdom challenge Baywara’s approach to dealing with the colonists?
Darrpa’s wisdom as depicted through his dialogue, reflects a significant contrast to Baywara’s approach
in dealing with the settlers. Emphasising resilience and the law of their culture through the symbol of a
stone. Darrpa’s knowledge of their land and nature of their culture compared to his son willing to protect themselves than more of killing. Not attack! 1.24.21
Sound of fire crackling
Gulwirri speaks in language
Night-time. Light of fire.
Faces illuminated.
Cut from Gulwiri to Gutjuk.
That’s why you have to stay angry and keep fighting. Your anger is all you have.
35: How does this scene suggest that there is no winnable outcome for Gutjuk?
Gulwirri acknowledges Gutjuk's disadvantages by advising him that he must remain angry and fight since it is all he has. The focus on rage as Gutjuk's only source of power suggests that he faces impossible challenges and that his situation is mostly outside his control. 1.26.22

You can’t share a country Claire
36: How does Eddy’s statement help contribute to the irreconcilable outcome that this scene is building towards? Eddy's statement to Claire in this scene effectively contributes to the irreconcilable result by highlighting the characters' deep struggle and divide. By telling Claire, "You can't share a country," Eddy is implying that there is an unbridgeable gap between their ideas, identities, and ways of life.

Gunshot
Horses whinnying
Sound of Moran
Brett - panicked.
Long-shot of bark hut
Long-shot of men preparing to leave. Kill them all (Moran)
Make sure you get all the bastards this time (Moran)
38 What do Moran’s instructions reveal about his role as a law enforcement officer?
His use of the language "kill them all," "make sure you get all the bastards this time," and the overall lack of concern for the well-being of the people he's ordering to eliminate suggests a disregard for human life. Furthermore, the fact that Moran's instructions appear unplanned and impulsive, as demonstrated by Brett's panicked reaction, highlights the lack of thought and empathy that goes into his decision-making process. This further emphasises the notion that Moran's role as a law enforcement officer is not driven by a desire to protect and serve but rather by a need to assert control
and eliminate perceived threats, regardless of the consequences. 1.30.46
Heavy breathing. High angle shot - Gutjuk pointing gun at Travis.
You lied. You know who these men are. What they did to my family. (Gutjuk)
Son, I am the second most senior officer (Moran)
My name is Gutjuk. You killed my family. (Gutjuk)
39: How does the film position Travis in this scene? Whose side is he on? Travis is positioned as being on Gutjuk's side in this scene. Despite being an officer, he has stopped pretending to side with his colleagues and has chosen to support Gutjuk in seeking justice for his family. He ultimately prioritises doing what is right over loyalty to his fellow officers. He has stopped an illusion that he has sided with his fellow relationship.
