All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S02E17 - Blame it on the Moonlight (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

I'm not upping the price.

You guys can just pull your finger out.

I could shear faster than you lot.

You reckon?

Yeah I do.

Done.
Done.

(clippers buzzing)

Okay so you've had your fit,

can we get back to work now?

I offered to help, Claire.

You want to do it by yourself?

Fine, do it by yourself.

Just forget about your
ego for five seconds.

We've got a contract.

Sue me if you like.

I'll invoice you for the work we've done.

Jodi, he raped me.

Anything I do to him won't be enough.

No.

(upbeat music)

I come back when I finish my army service,

and then we can live free from fear.

Promise you'll write?

Every day.

Hey hey hey hey!

Right up, right up.

She's in accounting,
and he's a software consultant.

We're the next big thing for city people.

Farm stay, ecotourism,
getting in touch with the bush again.

Roy, sit down, come here.

Come here.

It's your idea, Tess, your headache.

I've got the shearers coming
and I don't have time for this.

Yeah but that's the
whole point of a home stay.

They just blend in with
whatever's going on.

No way,
they are not helping with the shearing.

We're gonna be flat out.

Yeah but can't they just watch?

I mean I haven't had
time to arrange anything,

they barely booked two days ago.

Right back, right back Roy!

Look, show 'em the cattle,
show 'em the horses,

just keep 'em away from us.

Yes, but my website promised
them country hospitality.

I mean, I need you guys to be...

Hokey?

No I need you to...
Up boy, help.

Claire, this could earn us a lot of money.

Or cost us a mint.

All right, $20 says

they're gonna have a terrific holiday,

and to prove it they're gonna
write it in the guest book.

Guest book?

Yep.
Yep, you're on.

That's the easiest 20
bucks you've ever earned.

Yep.
Sh, go on!

Where's Jodi?

(pleasant music)

Thanks for the lift.

Good run?

Yeah not bad.

What are you doing here?

I'm on the team.

Not after last time, you're not.

I'm a good shearer, Claire.

I'm here to work.

Want the job done?

Well get in there, you're wasting time.

(emotional music)

(horse whinnies)

Alberto, hi!

So, you still have your voice.

Yeah.

You have your arms, your legs,

your head is still attached.

Now I know you have rejected me for reasons

other than you are dying,

I have no need to stay here any longer.

Alberto wait, hey!

(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 ♪

♪ Nah nah ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

Alberto, will you stop?

I can't talk to you while
you're walking away!

Simple solution, do not talk.

What are you on about?

I haven't heard from you in almost a year.

I wrote you every week, even in the army,

in Italy, I was writing.

Te amo, Jodi.

Always I signed my letters,
(speaks foreign language).

I never got your letters.

No?
No, honestly!

Look a couple arrived, and then nothing.

I thought you'd forgotten me.

Can't, never.

But, where are they?

This is not like Italy.

Here, the letters they arrive.

Hi.

Alberto, Craig, Craig, Alberto.

Craig delivers the mail.

(rock music)

Pull away!

We're behind already, Nick.

Where's Jodi?

Still getting the mail from Craig,
I suppose.

Sheep are in?

If it's shearing, we'll help.

Oh no,
I thought we'd have a look around first.

There's the cattle and the horses...

No really,
we'll fit in with whatever's going on.

We're keen.

We haven't had a holiday in three years.

Five years, but it's okay.

We're making up for it in quality time.

Okay okay,
I might have mislaid one or two, okay?

One or two?

I was trying to protect you, okay?

I didn't want you to get hurt.

I didn't know this guy was coming back.

Oh really?

Plus, you're dating me, you're with me.

Craig,
that's only because you stole the letters!

Well plus...

All right look,
I've gotta deliver the mail okay?

Why bother?

Just throw the rest of it away!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Jodi?

Alberto.

Mum, Alberto's back.

As I promised.

Amazing!

And good, good to see you Alberto.

So this is where it all happens.

Just make your way through.

Oh, how can you stand it?
Skye, don't.

I'm just expressing an opinion.

So as you can see, Claire's sorting

the wool and so is Becky.

That's it, make your way through.

Don't be shy.

What's Marty doing here?

Well the shearing's gotta be done, Tess.

What can we do to help?

Tess will explain.

Best thing you can do is just watch

and not help.

(clippers buzzing)

They go fast, don't they?

Yeah well they get paid by the sheep.

Doesn't pay to slow down.

You're class C right?

Yeah that's right.

Got any of that micro farm wool?

I saw the prices you get for that,
pretty amazing.

We're not in that market.

But you're aiming for it, right?

No.

Tess?

Sheep are in good nip.

Yeah.

Hard to believe, isn't it?

And all done without your help.

Yeah well,

we all make mistakes, eh?

Me more than most.

That almost sounds like an apology.

If you almost accept it, we'll be square.

What do you reckon?

I reckon you're pushing your luck, mate.

Alex.
Claire.

The accountant rang.
Mm?

We need Tess's receipts.

I heard you two had hooked up.

Yeah we're in business together.

Hear you got a bit of competition too.

Bertie Johnson.

Bertie Johnson?

He's toast mate, it's all sewn up.

You able to look after
those books yourself?

We're a bit shorthanded.

Right.

Paying guests?

Yeah.

Tess's idea?

No, mine.

Yours?

God, you're easy.

She got me.

You have a questions, Meg.

Do I?

Question one, why am I here?

Because I did what I said I would.

I went back to Italy,
I did my service, I came back.

Question one, yes?

Sort of.

Question two, am I a good man?

I don't know.

It is for Jodi to decide.

If she wishes, I am here for her.

Of times past, Alberto.

I understand.

Jodi may well not feel the same for me.

With Claire's permission,

I will stay here two, maybe three days

and then if Jodi decides against me,
I will go away

and not bother her again.

Do I have a question three?

(dog barking)

That's it Roy, steady Roy.

(pleasant music)

No, you're doing fine.

It's fun, isn't it?

Do you have to keep saying that?

Hey Gabi, I think she's having a good time

even if she doesn't want us to know.

I hope so.

Oh okay girls,
no more jokes about my riding style.

No, you're doing really well, honestly.

Can I have that in writing?

Sure!

(sheep bleating)

Move it, come on.

Well done guys, that was great.

What do you want us to
do with the horses now?

Well you can take them
into the yards if you like,

but don't worry about the saddles.

I'll do that later.

Okay.

And afternoon tea's on the veranda.

Paul?

I might give Tess a hand.

So, what's to be done?

I was just gonna check
on the water actually.

Sounds like fun.

Here, allow me.

I was gonna get the gate.

Oh yeah sure.

All right, get it over with.
What?

What, the lecture.
What lecture?

Oh don't act all innocent, Mum.

I can tell it's all in there
bursting to come out.

The bit where I tell you

to think things through and not to rush in?

And how I'm only young once,

and I shouldn't be in such a hurry

to grow up, blah blah blah.

Well, I won't bore you any further then

having said all that.

Oh no arguments there.

You do like him though, don't you?

Yes.

Good.

(pleasant music)

Are these okay here?
Yep.

I'm glad you're here.

I need a guy's point of view.

I'm a guy.

Yes, you are.

Look, I could be wrong about this,

I could be worrying about nothing.

Not you, Tess.

I mean if it was a guy that I knew

or I liked or I felt comfortable with,

and he patted me or he
brushed against me like he did,

then I wouldn't have even noticed.

And we're talking about?

A guest.

Anyway, do you think it matters?

I mean it was just the tiniest thing,
but...

Look, every woman has a circle around her.

So big.

And unless you're very
sure about how she feels,

you never break through that circle.

Like this.

Because if you're wrong,

there's no second chances.

And all guys know this?

Yep.

What about when you
got the leech off my leg?

That's different,
I was just trying to be a hero.

Oh so it's okay to be the hero.

Wasn't it?

You need a hand with this guy?

No I don't, it's fine.

You sure?

I can handle him.

Thanks.

How long have you been
on the road this time?

A couple of months.

Haven't got my own crew anymore,

so you know, take the work where it comes.

Even out here?

Especially out here, Claire.

So Claire I thought I'd do
my spiced lamb and couscous.

Might go and wash up.

Sorry I didn't meant to interrupt.

No no, was finished anyway.

I did interrupt something, didn't I?

Don't be ridiculous, it's Marty.

Yeah but you weren't
giving him a hard time.

You know Claire, if you did want to

put yourself out there again,
he is kinda cute.

Please!

It's Marty we're talking about.

He's all right I suppose, but he's not...

No he's not Peter.

I thought Peter was the perfect man.

How wrong was I?

Yeah but there's no such
thing as a perfect guy, Claire.

But bits of them are pretty excellent.

I'm gonna take a shower, a hot one.

Oh Claire, not just yet.

Our guests are bathing.

Great, last in the queue in my own house!

(pleasant music)

♪ God you kissed in the forest but you're ♪

♪ Number one number one in my heart ♪

Hi.

Hi, sorry I thought you um,

all you lot had finished in there.

Oh you sound pretty good.

(scoffs)

Need to work on the high notes.

My mother is completely out of control.

You have to hide me.

Interesting thought.

Oh, there you are.

I thought you might like to
come for a walk before dinner.

You and me?

Skye.

Come on, do us good.

Burn off some of those calories

Tess has been feeding us, come on.

Home stay guests.

Yeah.

Well, see you in the morning then.

Yeah, and the high notes.

Yeah I'll work on them.

Do you want another blanket?

No this is enough.

I can get one for you.

It'll only take a sec.

Listen to me, I want to say all this stuff

and all I can talk about is blankets.

You want me to leave?

No, no.

It's just that it's been so long

and with Craig and everything.

I understand.

Many things have happened
to you since I went away.

Yeah, no.

Well, not that many things.

I mean I haven't with Craig, I'm still...

It'll be all right, Jodi.

We will take things slowly.

We don't have to take it too slowly.

(pleasant music)

Hey!

Keep your hands off her, okay?

Craig!

You want her,
you're gonna have to fight for her!

(upbeat music)

So over here there are the
new horse yards and the...

Bastard.

We should settle this like gentlemen eh?

Oh my god.

No no, it's all right.

I'll remind you,
I've been recently in the army.

Guys, come on stop it.

Guys stop it, okay?

Only once more only.

Oh my god.

Are you okay?

(pleasant music)

Made a complete dick of myself.

Oh, hold still.

I only stole the letters
'cause I like her so much.

Well, she might not see
it that way at the moment,

so might be a good
idea to lie low for a while.

You think she'll come around?

She might.

Eventually.

What if you put a good word in for me?

Not a good idea.

There, how's that?

Hurts.

Yeah well love does.

I know, it's awful fighting like that.

They're gonna think we're all hillbillies.

Guilty.
It's not funny!

I want everything to be perfect for them.

Yeah well, good luck.

Where are you going?

To bed.

No you can't.

Claire, don't pick.

They're expecting to eat with all of us.

What are we supposed
to talk about with them?

Well whatever you like.

The weather, politics, anything

so long as it's farm-related.

Yeah a fly strike can be a real problem.

You see, they've got a lot of loose skin

all around their backsides

and all the feces and
the urine and the moisture,

it all collects and the
maggots have a field day.

They think it's Christmas.

Oh, sorry.

You want some of this green stuff?

Not yet.
Skye?

No thanks.

Having fun?

No.

Sorry.

I guess you must really love it here.

Yep, I do.

I'd probably like it too, if it was home.

If I was working.

Well it can't be bad having parents

that take you on holidays to the country.

It's weird.

All this family holiday stuff.

It's so not us.

So why are you here?

Mum's idea.

Trying to pretend that
we're a normal family.

You seem like a normal family to me.

If normal was never seeing each other

because everyone works 14 hours a day.

So!

What do you guys do around here for fun?

Ring dial a shearer?

Hey, they smell like the shearing sheds,
trust me.

I speak from experience.

Well mulesing saves sheeps' lives.

You see, what you do is you cut off

about half of that plate's worth of skin,

and then it heals over and
you're left with the scar tissue

and the maggots have got nowhere to live.

Well that's the theory, anyway.

Hope you're all hungry.
Mm!

What is it?
Skye!

Oh no that's all right,

it's spiced lamb filets with couscous.

No thanks, I'm vegetarian.

Since when, sweetie?

Since Claire explained

the things they do to lambs' bottoms.

(Paul laughs)

Your poor hand, does it hurt?

(speaks foreign language)

I'm so sorry about Craig.

If I had known about the letters

and if I knew you were really coming back

I would never have had
anything to do with him, I swear.

Cara, we are human.

Yeah I know.

I just don't want you to hate me,
that's all.

I would never do that.

I understand what it was like.

It was the same for me.

When you didn't answer my letters,

I too succumbed briefly to another woman.

What other woman?

She was no one, not compared to you.

When you say succumbed...

It was only a short time,
maybe only a month.

Only a month?

A month is ages!

You're not supposed to...

Believe me, it meant really nothing

and you were so far away!

Wait hang on a sec,
you said I meant everything to you.

You said I filled your heart!

Jodi...

Well apparently you had

just a little bit more room, didn't you?

Jodi!

No, I'm sorry

that is not how it's supposed to work.

Jodi!

Well I've got an early
one so I might turn in.

Thanks for dinner.

Night Becky.
Night.

Isn't everyone coming on the tour?

What tour?

The tour of the evening sky.

It's on the website.

Sounds great.

I'm going to bed.

But the stars are so pretty out here

and there's a full moon.

Well if you're too tired, I can cancel.

I'm not tired, full moon,
company of beautiful women.

Who could ask for anything more?

Claire, you should come too.

You love stars.
Sorry.

Please.

I've got an early one too.

Anyway,
you're the astronomer in the family.

Ah thanks.

(gentle music)

(dog barking)

Okay so, ah yes that's the Milky Way,

and those bright stars

that's the saucepan which is called Orion.

And ah yes, there's Perseus.

Where exactly?

See, above that tree?

There, helping Andromeda.

And there's Pegasus.

You're bluffing.

I like that.

Bit more to your left, Gabi.

If someone who you thought was really nice

did something really off,
would you still like them?

Well that depends what they did.

They betrayed someone.

Well no one's perfect, if they're sorry.

No it was a really bad betrayal.

Well, if you really can't forgive them

you've just got to weigh up

who you're hurting more, you or them?

Me probably.

He shouldn't have done it, but I know Craig

feels terrible about the letters.

Craig?

What's Craig got to do with anything?

So I think that's the big bear Gabi,

but it's a bit hard to
see with the full moon.

Ah it doesn't matter, it's still gorgeous.

Paul, isn't it beautiful?

Sure is.

What's that?

It's probably just a rabbit or something,
I don't know.

Oi, give us a break?

Oh sorry.

(dramatic music)

You bastard, you're gonna pay!

What's going on?

This scumbag raped my daughter.

I didn't rape anyone!

She came onto me!

She's 15!

15?

She told me she was 18.
Oh crap!

Mate, you hit me, I'm gonna hit you back.

Get this, it wasn't rape, got it?

Tell that to the police!

I'm outta here.

Marty, just that's not gonna help.

The phone won't work here.

We'll just use the phone inside, okay?

Come on, Claire.

You know I wouldn't rape anyone.

Yeah we'll let the police sort that out.

Paul!

Come on.

Yeah you'll keep, mate.

So you really think it's possible, Marty?

I don't know.

Marty's okay.

Marty's an okay guy,
and okay guys don't rape.

She's just a girl,
why should anyone listen to her?

I've known Marty for years.

Oh yeah, like you knew Brian for years?

(somber music)

You pathetic jerk.

Becky, hey you know...

Any kid, any stranger's fair game

to you bastards isn't it?

Come on Becky.

Come on Becky.

That's not the way to do it, Beck.

Come on.

Stuff 'em, stuff all of 'em.

I don't even want police.

I just want to go to bed.

So what, we just hang around 'til then?

There must be someone
else who can get here.

I'm sorry.

She's a 15 year old child.

I'm nearly 16.

We are guests in your house,

and you allow some animal to rape her!

Hey hey, hang on a minute.

My daughter is 15 years of age,

and your shearer rapes her.

He didn't.

How do you think I feel?

I keep telling you, he didn't rape me!

You're not even listening.

She's 15!

That makes it rape.

Terrific Tess, just what I needed.

Gee Claire,
I'm sorry your shearing's been disrupted.

I mean that home stay idea

was half-baked in the first place,
but now...

It's not my fault one of your shearers

raped one of my guests.

Marty reckons it wasn't like that.

Well of course Marty's gonna say that.

Well Skye's saying the same thing.

Saying it a lot.

Yeah well she probably doesn't
want to face what happened.

She's ashamed of it.

It's very common with rape victims.

Well, she's taken herself off to bed

and she doesn't look very ashamed to me.

And her father is rope-able.

Did you know that she's only 15?

15?

Oh, he took advantage of her then.

15 year olds don't know what they're doing.

No Meg, I was 14 and I
knew exactly what I was doing.

(insects chirping)
(somber music)

Is there anything I can get you?

Is Skye settled,
would she like a hot chocolate?

Oh she's probably asleep by now.

You must be worried.

At 10 months,
I thought she was never gonna walk.

At 15 months, I thought she'd never talk.

Then one day...

They're almost grown up.

Almost?

And they want their freedom.

You just want to protect
them from everything, forever.

Protect Skye?

She doesn't want my help,
doesn't need my help.

You're upset.

You should get some sleep,
let the police sort it out.

I don't need to.

I know it wasn't rape.

He wasn't even her first.

Goodnight.

(somber music)

(birds chirping)

Okay,
so we've got some scrambled eggs here.

Just the coffee.

Here he is.

Don't worry, darling.

Just tell him what that
bastard made you do.

Did you listen to what she said last night?

I'll handle it.

I can't imagine how you
think any of this is gonna help.

I said I'd handle it.

You never have so far.

That's crap!

Sergeant Frank Da Costa.

I believe you want to make a complaint.

We sure do.

No we don't, nothing happened here.

Gabi!

Skye is not a virgin.

She was suspended from school

for trying to seduce a teacher.

Since when?

Since two weeks ago, when you were too busy

to take time off work to attend a lecture

from the headmistress about
why she's a troubled child.

Thanks Mom.

Put it on the radio.

Skye is it?

How about you tell me
what's been happening?

(sheep bleating)

I brought these.

I chucked some early ones out.

They just kept on coming and I didn't know

what to do with 'em,
so they're mostly there.

Did you read them?

No.

Well maybe a few postcards.

Yeah well, thanks for bringing them back.

Yeah.

I'll see ya.

Hey Craig.
Yeah.

How's your nose?

It's all right, can't breathe though.

Then use your mouth.

(gentle music)

At night I close my eyes thinking of you.

You guide my dreams to a beautiful place.

(speaks foreign language)

What's that?

You are my little angel.

Aw.

Cara,
there is something I wish to say to you.

Cara Jodi,
again another day without you near.

It is very important for me to say this.

Alberto, this is so beautiful.

He's a guy.

It's what you do with guys.

So you approached him.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

And then what?

Plan A was wild sex like ferrets, okay?

Skye, what are you doing?

But we didn't quite get to that.

The public gallery turned up.

We were just kissing a bit, that's all.

But I saw...

Look, you don't have to protect him.

Skye, are you sure there's
nothing else you want to add?

Nope.

Nothing to see here, folks.

Because if there is, you can say so.

You're not in any trouble here.

Of course I'm not.

I'll have sex if I want to.

In the end, no one really gives a toss.

(speaks foreign language)

I can live only with you.

I must ask you this now.

Will you marry me?

Will you marry me?

I have some money from the army.

Not a great deal, but I think enough.

And I will take care of you.

No?

Yes.

Of course I'll marry you.

Aha!

As many times as you like.

100 times?
1,000 million times.

No.

I'll marry you just once.

Only once.

(pleasant music)

(sheep bleating)
(clippers buzzing)

Last night, you were at my door.

No I wasn't, just passing.

You're angry with me about something?

Or just the obvious.

Just the obvious.

Give you a hand?
All sorted out?

Has to be, she's not lodged a complaint.

But it's still a problem.

Not a problem I can do anything about,

and that girl is 15 going on 30,
or she thinks she is.

Well you did all you could.

Go on, ss!

I'm building up to the next bit,

which is do you want to come

for a drink with me Saturday afternoon?

What, you mean like a date?

No, more casual, friends having a drink.

Hey Mom!

Alberto's got something to say.

To ask.

We're getting married.

He asked me and I said yes.

As if I'd say no.

What?

I suppose I should have expected this.

Congratulations, darling.

Thank you.

And you too, Alberto.

I better get in on this, congratulations.

You too, Jodi.

Thank you.

Um, we're gonna ask Becky
to drive us into Gungellan.

We're gonna stay at the pub tonight,

and then we're gonna look
for a place to rent in town.

You're gonna go now, leave for good now?

Yeah, there's no reason to put it off.

I'm gonna go pack.

Jodi!

Don't worry about Becky and all them.

Are you...
Yeah, fine.

You go, I'll finish up here.

Thanks.

And about Saturday night,

could be good.

Hiya, move along people.

Nothing to see here.

What's the rush?

Can't you start off here?

Don't do this, Mum.

But you could.

Claire would give Alberto some work,

and you can save some money.

Alberto's got money from the army.

I mean, I need to be independent.

This is my new life!

You know, I want it to be fun and exciting

and like nothing I've ever lived before.

I also really need you to be happy for me.

(emotional music)

You okay then?

Where are your folks?

Packing.

Arguing.

Whatever.

Marty hasn't spoken to me since last night.

He probably thinks it's safer to stay away.

Yeah, right.

They never want to know you the next day,
do they?

I think the trick is to find someone

who wants to know you when
you've both got your clothes on.

Bit late for that.

(emotional music)

You know, when I was 15

my parents were like 12.

I kept waiting for them to grow up

so maybe they could help me grow up.

Did they?

No.

You gotta stop waiting and
just get on with it yourself.

Did it work out, for you?

Yeah.

I guess I'll see you then.

Good luck.

(emotional music)

(sheep bleating)

Hey Marty, about last night.

Ah forget it.

I wasn't the worst farmhand you ever had,
was I?

Not at all.

There was this old guy,
Bruno, a few years back.

He only had one leg, but...

Oh haha.

(emotional music)

Oh.

Goodbye.

Well I think it's fantastic.

And he's totally divine.

Thanks.

I'm gonna miss you.

Bye Tess.

Don't you dare cry.

Not when I'm being so brave.

I love you.

Very much, but you know that.

Yeah.

Go on.

Come back soon.

Ciao.
Ciao.

(sighs)
So romantic.

If you throw confetti, I'll kill you.

(emotional music)

I found your...
(dog whines)

I found your visitor's book.

Our stay at Drovers Run
was like a second honeymoon.

Thank you for making our holiday

such a beautiful experience.

Jodi.

Everything you do seems
to work out brilliantly.

All my ideas get Frank
Da Costa camping out here.

Just don't say I told you so.

No, keep it.

You did a good job, Tess.

It's not your fault it didn't work out.

That's very kind of you.

Anytime.

Now, do you reckon tomorrow

we could concentrate on the shearing?

(bottles clink)
Yep.

(dog whines)

I should probably tell you

that I haven't done this before,

so I probably won't be very good at it.

I mean, I know what goes where.

I'm not that thick, but...

Shh, these are the words.

(speaks foreign language)

(speaks foreign language)

Together, with you.

Sempre.

Sempre.

Always.

Nothing else.
