That's why I'm here.

- When we were
in the Philippines, um
Aaron took me to the museum
to see something
called the Manunggul Jar.
I think that's how you say it.
[chuckles]
It's a, uh--[clears throat]
It's a kind of ancient
Filipino burial container,
and it depicts a boatman
taking the spirit of a dead man
to the afterlife.
If that's where Aaron is now
I hope that boatman knows
what he's doing.
Because he wasn't
just my brother,
he was my captain.
And through fair weather
or foul,
he always knew
what he was doing.
He always had the answers.

No one is--

You're going to lock
us in a cupboard,

Soon, we'll be in the Solomons,

There'll be more room

Another stop

Some like to take
another selfie.

Joseph wasn't like that.

Do you live here now?

with Dennis Winbourne?
- No.

in Townsville?
It had to be something
in "The Blue."
But if not Denny or
any of the others, then what?
- Peter?
- Excuse me.
- Perhaps your share
of the diamonds
from the trawler in Sagisag?

The detective here was
just asking some questions,
and I didn't know whether
to talk without a lawyer or--
- Questions?
At my son's funeral.
I don't know how you do things
in the Philippines,
but in Australia,
a funeral is a somber
and reflective affair.
This is my house,
so stop harassing
my family and friends,

the bullets fired on "The Blue"
all came from one gun,
a revolver.
- So?
- Aaron's gun was a revolver.
- What are you saying?
- I'm just trying to understand
what happened.
Because you said that
all the guys on "The Blue"
had a gun.
So--
- Right.
The bullets came
from Aaron's gun
because they took it out of
his hand
after they killed him.
Then they ran the others out.
On the deck.
They used it.
- But you didn't tell me that.
- Well, I didn't tell you
every gory detail,
but I can tell you how it all
happened, if you like.
