♪ Ah ♪

Previously on "McLeod's Daughters".

Nick (laughs).

Hi.
Hi.

What are you doing here?

An appointment with the physio.

Oh, right.

I didn't have a physio appointment.

(dramatic music)

I just wanted to see you really, Tess?

I don't want it to be over.

I don't see that we have any other choice.

(melancholy music)

(upbeat music)

(people chattering)

Excuse me.

Yeah, I'll be with you in a second.

Sir, there's a table over there,

table six.
Just give me one sec.

Just make your way through.

No more of the Big Breakfast,
we're all out of sausages.

Oh, third time this week.

Have I told you, you're a genius?

Yeah, but don't let that stop you.

Beautiful and talented

and I knew you could
turn this place around.

You're making me blush.

I meant every word.

It's perfect here with the two of us.

Three of us.
Excuse me.

Haven't these people heard of cholesterol?

Luckily, no.

I'm gonna start on the lunch specials.

Mm, apricot chicken,
another little piece of home.

This is Tess' home.

You sure about that?

There you go girl, not long to go now.

(Blaze chews)
Ready?

(Blaze neighs)

Hey, what happened to that foal alarm

that your dad used to have?

Bastard.

Well,
do you reckon we should get a new one.

Blaze is close to dropping the foal.

Waste of money.

Well, things can go wrong,
especially the first time.

They manage in the bush.

(dramatic music)

(jeep engine roars)

Good day, Jim.
Hey, Meg.

Thanks for coming so soon.

Yeah, no worries, how is Claire?

Well,
you did tell her I was coming didn't ya?

Oh, thanks for that.

(knuckles rapping)

Okay if I come in?

I was just doing a house
call down on Mrs. Jacobs',

thought I'd pop in, say good day.

Didn't she die last year?

Oh, yeah

Meg?

She's worried about you, Claire.

There's nothing wrong with me.

(melodramatic music)

What, I'm fine.

I can get up, I can eat,
I get through the day.

Can you sleep?

No one's ever died of
a broken heart before.

Have they?

(upbeat music)

♪ It'll take some time to find ♪

♪ Your heart and come back home ♪

♪ You could walk for miles ♪

♪ Cross every river and
find you're not alone ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Nah no ♪
♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

I've given her some anti-depressants.

Do you think they'll work?

Only if she takes them.

Listen, you call me if things get worse.

What's worse?

(melancholy music)

Claire,
the fence in the east-boundary paddock.

How many times is it this week now, huh?

How many times what?

Have I told you about the hay shed roof?

Sure, and I was gonna fix...

Three, four?

I know and I was gonna fix it today.

That loose piece of iron

could have beheaded one of the horses.

I'll go and do it now.

Leave it, you're fired.

Did she just fire you?

Yeah, third time this week.

You know, she can't keep taking it out

on everyone else,
we should email Tess again.

What do you mean again?

I sent her a message this morning.

On Claire's computer?

No, Mum, by jungle drum.

What is all this crap anyway?

I found Tess' Indonesian recipe book.

I thought it might cheer Claire up a bit.

Great, what are we having?

If I could pronounce it I'd tell you.

(upbeat music)

(computer beeps)

Is there anything for me?

Nope, sorry.

Hey, what happened to our deal,
me brains, you brawn,

and the brawn gets to do the dishes?

Meg's apricot chicken was a big hit.

Yeah, and tonight it's Irish stew.

Every table's reserved,
we need to pick up more potatoes.

We meaning brawn?

Yes, nice big ones with real dirt on them.

Yes, boss.

Boss?
Oh, and by the way, boss.

Hey, if she's brains and you're brawn

then what am I, background detail?

We're a team, Tess, me and you.

(both laughing)

The way it used to be.

Yeah, sure,
till Tess hears the call of the wild again.

(mouse clicking)

(computer dings)

(motorbike engine roars)

(bee buzzes)

Bill, bill, catalog, bill.

Told you it wouldn't be
worth the trip to the mailbox.

Well,
if you sold those heifers when I told you,

you might've had a big check in the mail.

I might take this old nag back to Drovers.

No, just leave him.

The only thing he's good
for is making manure, mate.

Yeah, well Claire's not up for visitors.

So she's still moping
over that dickhead is she?

Is that your best saddle?

(dramatic music)

Yup.

You wouldn't be thinking
about doing anything dumb

like jumping on that old nag, would ya?

Don't be stupid.

Because you know
what they said if you ride,

you're muscles will seize up.

Why don't you start in the creek crossing.

Since when did you become boss?

Since I bought the place.

Yeah, thought so.

Where's Jody, this is ready now.

Speak of the devil.

I couldn't find that broody old one,

I think she roosting up the ghost gum.

She'll be safe enough up there.

She probably saw what happened to her mate.

Smell great.

I does doesn't it.

Has Tess called or...
Shh.

Well, has she?

Claire hasn't said anything yet.

She must be busy.

Well, what do you think?

Tess would like it.

Well, you can't get a better
recommendation than that.

(upbeat music)

(car horns honking)

So does this mean we can
actually pay the power bill?

And the rent and the supplies,

this is just the beginning.

Tomorrow she's bringing
out the heavy artillery.

(Tess laughs)
Well, let me guess,

root tail soup?
Worse, beef rissoles.

Rissoles?
Yup.

Hey, let's say we hit a club.

All of us?
Of course.

Well, it sounds like fun.

As long as we don't stay out too late.

You got a problem with seeing the sunrise?

No, it's just

that my bags are starting to get bags.

I love the sunrise,
the sunrise over Drovers

the way it sort of creeps
up on you over the hill.

Turns the paddocks to gold and it's like...

What are we waiting for?

Let's get out of here.
Come on.

(poignant music)

(Claire sighs)

(Claire groans)

Goodbye, Todd!
See ya.

So what ever happened
to leaving at a decent hour?

It went out the door with no more drinks.

Yeah, along with last dance I promise.

(all laughing)

Got another hour and we'll see the sunrise.

Ah, did I ever tell you about
the sunrise over Drovers?

Oh, yes.
Yes.

Like magic you just see it.

We know, we know.
Yeah, about 50 times.

All right.
We know.

(horse whinnying)

(cow moos)

Morning.
Morning, Claire.

How'd you sleep?
Good.

You might have noticed that
I haven't been myself lately.

Is that right?

Well, I figured out what
to do to fix the problem.

That's great, Claire.

Well, for starters,
I'm terminating my contract

with Australia Bloodlines.

Not because of Peter.

And I'm selling Drovers.

(dramatic music)

(horse neighing)

Claire doesn't mean it.

No way, it's just like firing
me three times in one week.

Or forgetting to fix the fence

in Skinny Jim's paddock again.

Oh, she didn't.

Yeah, she did and if we don't
want next years wool check

to end up as roadkill then...

Yeah, as soon as we finish up here.

How do you even get
about selling a farm anyway?

The usual way,
you find an agent, get it listed.

That would takes ages, wouldn't it?

Six months or more.

She'll be long over it by then, hey?

Sure.

Where would you find a buyer

for a big spread like Drovers anyway?

(melancholy music)

How much?

I'll get evaluations,
we'll work it out from there.

What makes you so sure I want Drovers?

You've always wanted Drovers.

Yeah,
I didn't think I'd have to pay for it.

Maybe help out with the cost
of Nick's wedding reception.

Well, you've had to wait
an awful long time Harry.

Well, if you're not interested, fine.

I'll find another buyer.

Well, they won't exactly
be dropping out of the trees.

They will if I subdivide.

I'll break Drovers up into lots.

Terry, Terry.
Yeah.

Turned out the top paddock this morning?

Yup.

I put a basket in the kitchen,
would you mind.

Yeah, no worries.
Thanks.

All right, Claire.

Hello, Claire, what's going on?

Harry's just agreed to buy Drovers.

That's the last roll,
we're all out of soup, too.

And breakfast cereal and bacon.

You know,
it must be your turn to go to town, right?

No need, Fairy Godfather's just arrived.

Your mum sends her love.

Yeah, she send any dunny paper?

Tell her thanks Terry,
and let her know that malnutrition

hasn't set in just yet.

I reckon she get her
mind on other things today.

I'm more concerned about food poisoning

with your cooking, mate.

No secret Claire is
having a rough proper do

to throw it all away, eh?

At least I call, you never do.

So what your Mum, was gonna blow a gasket?

I do my bit considering I
don't even own the joint.

Well, no one's twisting your arm to stay.

You can go whenever you want.

Yeah, well Harry wants me
to unload some hay, so bye.

You better not mention I'm the one

that brought you the big news, all right.

(dramatic music)

What big news?

Harry's agree to what?

To buy Drovers.

Better make the call.

Six months or more, that's what you said.

(phone whirring)

Thought the hard ground
might have hurt him,

but doesn't seem to have been a problem.

(phone rings)

Oh, can you just hold on a sec.

Peter Johnson.
It's Claire.

Claire, how are you?

Good thanks.
Great.

I was hoping that you
were gonna call because...

I need you to pick up the horses.

Why would I want to do that
when they're doing so well...

Today, about six.

But Claire,
it doesn't have to be this way, okay?

See you then.
If we can just...

About six.
Maybe we could

just talk about this,
I'm sure we could sort...

(phone clicks)

(cellphone beeps)

(gravel crunches)

You mongrel!

I gather you've heard the good news.

Claire doesn't want to sell
Drovers and you know it.

Hey, I was doing her a favor.

What are you gonna do hit me again, eh?

You're not worth it.

Alex!

I don't know how you can
stand to be in the same bed.

Your son doesn't seem to
like the way I do business.

Why don't you just tell him the truth?

I don't have to justify myself to anymore.

(vehicle engine roars)

You know, Drovers is her life,
where's she gonna go?

Well,
with the amount of money she's gonna get

from Harry Ryan she'll
have plenty of options.

Where do you reckon we'll go,
Mum, Sydney, Melbourne?

Well, considering our finances,

I'd say the caravan park at Gungellan.

(scoffs) All right, that's it,
we have to call Tess.

(upbeat music)

Here, this is yours,
split the one-way check.

You sure that you would like one?

Can I take your plate,
can I take your plate?

(phone rings)

Simon, can you get the phone no hands?

Yup, got it.

No more bookings for tonight we're packing

them in like sardine as it is.

Music to my ears.

The Comfort Zone, good afternoon.

Oh, hi, how are you?

(dramatic music)

Yeah, yeah, going well.

Tess, great, well you know what she's like,

thrives on nightlife and petrol fumes.

Actually, she's not here at the
moment can I take a message?

Yup, okay lay it on me.

Call Jody or Meg

at the cottage, no problems.

Yeah, as soon as I see her, I promise.

Okay, catch you later.

Another satisfied customer?

Can't keep them away.
Ah!

(truck engine roars)

(whistles) Roy.

Roy, come here.

The rest of the horses are up in the yards.

Might as well drive straight up.

Come on. (Clicks tongue)

(dramatic music)

Claire, look if you got a problem with me,

Australian Bloodlines does have other reps.

It's a big contract, I don't want to see us

just throw it all away.

(Roy barks)

I just through Tess really cared, you know?

Well, maybe she's busy?

What too busy to return a
phone call or answer our emails?

Mm, walk cakes, eh, good.

No, they're oatmeal muffins,

Mum left them in the oven too long.

I always liked my tucker well cooked.

You know, you're gonna miss Mum's cooking.

So where you headed anyway?

Oh, I don't know,
anywhere except Gungellan I hope.

Can't really picture Mum as a townie,
can you?

She'll do okay.

Yeah, but she really likes it here.

I prefer the bush myself, I must say.

(scoffs) You're not even gonna try

and talk her out of it are you?

Since when have I been able
to talk Meg out of anything?

Wake up, Terry, okay.

You're the one Mum wants,
I mean you're no Brad Pitt but.

Says who?

Kinda testy, might not be back.

Jody, I reckon you should have another go

at contracting Tess.

Why and give her more message to ignore?

Well, make sure the next message is the one

that she can't.

(door slams)

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)

So that's it then?

Not exactly,
my letter of resignation in writing,

as the contract says.

Do you hate me this much?

Then why?

Because if I keep seeing you then the pain

will never go away and
I'll stay like this forever.

Claire.

It doesn't have to be this way.

(sighs) Yes, it does.

Wait, wait, wait, scroll,
down, down, down, down,

down, down, down, down.

This is an important newsflash, folks.

Comfort Zone is officially in the black.

Yes!

I'm gonna send Meg

the biggest bunch of flowers I can find.

It wasn't Meg, it was you.

I think this calls for a bottle of bubbly

and a table at the best restaurant in town,

besides ours of course.

You know what, I would settle

for takeaway deep-fried
chicken on a park bench,

as long as I don't have to do the cooking.

Followed by a long, hot soak in the tub

and eight hours sleep.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, you've got mail.

Who from, Drovers?
No, Brad Pitt.

Oh, Brad Pitt i.e. it's Jody.

(dramatic music)

They've split up, no way.

Selling Drovers.

You've been deleting my emails.

Claire's in trouble and
she selling Drovers,

I've got to get back.

Tess, I didn't know, I swear.

I thought they were just emails.

I thought they'd make you homesick.

Please, hear me out,
Tess, it was a bad idea.

A bad idea, you lied to me.

I know and I'm sorry.

I didn't want you to leave again,
pathetic isn't it.

It's not the same without you Tess.

Look at what you've done here,
you've turned it around.

It's not about the food,

you could have served up cold
SPAM and it wouldn't matter.

It's you that makes the difference.

(sighs) I just wanted you to stay.

Yeah, well you went about it the wrong way.

(keys jingling)

Tess, wait, take this.

Go on,
you'll need it for petrol money and stuff.

We'll send the rest of your share later.

He only did it 'cause he loves you.

Stupid yes, but malicious no.

I know, I'll forgive him eventually.

Give me a call, all right?
Yup.

Anyone home, Claire?

(dramatic music)

Hello, Claire?

(horse nickers)

Hey, Blaze, how are you, girl?

Glad someone's pleased to see me.

Not that I expected a
full-on welcoming committee

or anything, especially when
you're about to sell the place

without even telling me.

And you've busted up with
Peter without even a phone call.

He was already married. (Cries)

Oh, Claire, come here.

♪ My heart is like these hills ♪

It's all right.

♪ I never change and I never will ♪

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want you to think
you had to come back.

(melancholy music)

Yeah, but I wanted to come back.

Come on, into bed.

I've been a bit of a mess.

Yeah,
well I don't want you to worry about more.

I'm gonna take care of Drovers now.

So why didn't you tell us
you were coming back?

Well, I didn't-

It was like you'd gone
under a bus or something.

Well, I think...

Does Claire know you're back,
have you seen her?

Yeah, we've just...

You are back for good now, aren't you?

Will I be right in saying that
you all actually missed me?

No, get out of here.

Yeah, me too.

But then we've got some work to do.

Claire's a little...
Wacko.

Under the weather right now,

so we need to keep things going

until she's feeling better.

Beck, Jod,
you take some hay up to the cattle,

check on the sheep,
Meg you do troughs, okay?

What's the point when Harry's taking over?

Harry?

(dramatic music)

She sold Drovers to Harry?

Then I'm getting it back.

I have an agreement with Claire.

I'm writing?
As good as.

Well, no paperwork, no sale.

Well,
that's not the way we do things out here.

Well, that's the way I do
things and I'm half owner.

What do you want with Drovers, Tess?

You're a townie.

Yeah, but I'm still Jack's daughter.

And I have more of a right to Drovers

than any Ryan ever will.

What about Claire?

Claire's tied up right now,

but we're in complete agreement.

So there you have it, no hard feelings,

just business, nothing personal.

Do I make myself clear?

Oh, perfectly.

And?
And, what?

Drovers is not for sale.
Right.

Anything else I can help you with?

As a matter of fact, yes.

I just want you to come
and tell him you're sorry.

(scoffs) Dad does the wrong thing

and you want me to apologize, righto Mum.

The only reason your father
agreed to buy Drovers was

to stop Claire selling it to someone else.

Stall her?
She's not herself.

He knows that,
he had no intention of holding her to it.

That's smart you gotta admit to that.

Why didn't he just say so.

Well, why didn't you ask him,

instead of just assuming the worst?

Maybe the worst is what
I've come to expect, Mum.

Well, then you're an idiot, Alex.

(car door slams)

Come on mate,
the hole's not deep enough yet.

It must be my fault.

(earth thuds)

Okay, everyone I have two

very important announcements to make.

Number one,
Harry Ryan is not buying Drovers.

How the hell did you manage that?

Yeah, what did you bribe him with?

Well, it was easy,
I just gave it to him straight

and he caved in.

Announcement number two, ta-dah!

Jack's desk!
Yup.

The one and only.

(dramatic music)

Joey, you remember when I put it there?

Remember when I said it'd still be there

when Dad's desk came home?

Well, we had to have a
home for it to come back to.

Whether we all like it or not,
I'm still a McLeod.

It's great, Tess.

Claire, Blaze is waxed up.

We're about to give birth?

No quite, but set your alarm.

It usually happens at four in the morning.

Come on Nick, that's deep enough.

Not yet.

You're in the way, I'm putting it in.

Wait up.
Get out the way!

Wait up!

(wood thuds)

It's always gotta be your way, doesn't it?

What, it's not my way, it's what works.

Maybe I just don't like taking orders

from my little brother.

You just.
(dramatic music)

What am I doing here, Nick?

This is your place, mate.

Killarney's your place Alex, smart that.

I reckon Mum will be a bit more settled

with one of us at home
Yup.

The old man,
well he ain't getting any younger.

A little less cranky.

Yeah, just gotta know how to handle him.

Looks like you got everything.

I reckon, say you gonna be okay,
baby cakes?

Okay.

Nick, remember what the physio said, mate?

You'll get stuck up there.

Thought you were leaving?

Hey, did you do the dishes?
(vehicle engine roars)

Hey, I wasn't joking.

(mellow music)

Hello.
Morning.

Do you wanna come in?

Nah, I better not.

No, actually I come to say goodbye,

but if Claire's not selling Drovers

then you're not going nowhere.

I might as well save my breath, ah?

Might as well.
Good.

You sure you don't want a cuppa?

Nah, oh I almost forgot.

I'm finished with it,
might as well pass it on.

Oh, thank you, Terry.

That's for Jody.

(poignant music)

(car door slams)

The horses have

pulled the valve off their trough again.

There's water right across the driveway.

I guess someone should fix it.

Yeah, there's a broken gate

over at Johnson's paddock, too.

Bloody, Terry, hit it with a bulldozer.

Take my pick, huh?

Up to you.

(uptempo music)
(hooves clomping)

(horse whinnying)

(horse whinnying)

Tess.

Yeah, that's me.

I came for Madonna I was missing her,

so do you mind?

Not at all, not at all.

Asking for trouble though, isn't it?

I mean a budgie's one thing,

but pets in your flat.

Oh right, actually I'm back, Drovers.

(poignant music)

Welcome home.
Thanks.

(Nick groans)

So you here for good then?

Yeah, that's the plan, better be going.

Oh, you better get Madonna tested, too.

Lover Boy took quite a shine to her,

broke a couple fences trying to get to her.

Oh right, well it's quite romantic

when you think about it.

So you're back in the saddle.
Yup.

Looks like you were born there.

Yeah, I might even die here.

Well, I should get back.

You stuck?
No.

See you later then, and thanks for Madonna.

Yeah, no worries.
Come on, come on, Madonna.

(Madonna moos)

(Nick sighs)

(Nick thuds)

One, two, three.

Hey.

(Nick groans)

It's all right, girl.

Take it easy, you're okay.

It's four o'clock in the morning.

Are you sure?

Well, you've told Claire, right?

She reckoned you can handle it.

She says give her a hoy
if something goes wrong.

Oh great,
the first foal in the breeding program

and she doesn't want to know.

How many foals have you delivered, Meg?

Five.

Right, well that makes five between us.

Okay, if that's the way she wants it,

we'll need hot water, soap, old towels,

and you stay here.

(dramatic music)

Tess!
You stay right there.

I'll be back.

Claire, quick, get up.

Blaze's foal's coming.

Oh, yeah, so I heard.

Well, Meg reckons we'll need the vet

and he might not get here in time.

So I just don't know what to do,

and all the blood.

She's bleeding?

No, not yet,
but she might start any time soon,

and the noises she's making are...

Have you seen its feet?

Oh, I wasn't going to look.

She could have a leg stuck.

Well, I think they might all be stuck,

there's not exactly a
lot of room in there so.

All right, I need a clean bucket,
some hot water,

some soap and towels.

Lots of old towels!

(Blaze neighing)

Claire, you've got to help her.

Take it easy, Tess.

Yeah, but she needs us.

No, she needs to be left alone.

Excuse me, can't you do something.

Sometimes you can get
close and sometimes you can't.

Come on, girl, come on.

(gasps) I can see the feet.

Oh, Claire,
I have to tell you if this was me, ow,

I would be screaming right now.

Sh, sh.
Sorry.

Good girl, you can do it.

Breathe Blaze, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo.

You have to breathe, Claire.

That's what they do in the movies.

Breathe, Blaze.
(Blaze neighs)

That's is lay down, lay down.

Ho, ha!
There you go, there you go.

Come on, Blaze.
Big push.

Push, push, push.
Push.

That's it, that's it girl.
Come on.

That's it, out we come.
Come on.

Out we come.

(both gasping)
(Tess chuckles)

Wow.

Look it's up.

Filly.

A girl, oh Claire.
Yeah.

(poignant music)

She's a nice little filly.

A fraction too long in the pasterns.

Maybe she'll grow into them.

Yeah.

What are you gonna call her, Claire?

Don't know,
thought Tess might have an idea.

Right.
Nothing too fancy.

Okay.

How about Phoenix?

As in river?

As in Arizona?

As in bird.

Hm, Phoenix,

yeah that'll do.

You didn't really need my help, did you?

I'm sorry things didn't work out

for you in the city, Tess.

Actually, no I'm not.

(upbeat music)

I don't know about you lot,
but I'm starving.

Here, righto.
