All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S02E22 - Future Perfect (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

Previously on "McLeod's Daughters."

Nick, look who I found.

Hi, stranger.

Hi Nick, how's the riding going?

Yeah.

Knew he could do it.

Pleased to meet you, Sally.

Likewise, I've heard a lot about you, Tess.

I'm sure you have.

Tess is always up to something.

What time's Rick getting in?

The lunch time bus.

(gentle music)

You did give them my letter?

Peter!

You have to tell them the truth.

I could lose everything.

Well, I already have.

Are you sure you gave him the letter?

I mean, maybe you just thought you did.

I gave him that letter, Tess.

He came for the horses,
and I handed it to him.

So if Peter kept the letter,
then maybe he's still got it.

Hello, housekeeping.

Like I said, we'll work it out.

Can you work this out?

I'm pregnant.

(toilet flushing)

Feel better?

A little.

What?

Auntie Tess.

Yeah.

Does this mean you're gonna?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, I don't know.

(sighs) Why did I let this happen?

Stupid, so stupid.

Well, you'll be all right.

Whatever you decide,

you're not in this alone, you've got me.

But how can I decide, it's too hard.

I can't do this.

What happened to my life?

Suddenly I'm pregnant and homeless.

Well, not necessarily.

I mean, Peter's the dad here,
it's his baby.

No way.

He's having nothing to do with it.

He is trying to ruin Drovers Run.

There is no way he's gonna have

anything to do with this kid.

If you tell Peter about this baby,

he might do the right thing.

He wouldn't want his own
flesh and blood out in the cold.

His own genes are involved here.

It's biology.

(Claire groans)

Welcome to the farm's cross country event.

Lovely to break it all down for.

Peter Johnson leads on points
from the McLeod run in 10,

with Daylight between
them and the rest of the field.

It all stands up pretty good?

Is that a joke at Queen?

Look, I wanna know if it was ever true,

what you said you felt between us.

(soft piano music)

How can you even ask?

Because I don't understand
how you can do any of this.

I could lose my property because of you.

Well, there's a way out of this,
Claire, it's easy.

You see I can fix everything
with Australian Blood Lines,

all the problems, gone.

How?

Marry me.

Simple.

(upbeat guitar 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 ♪

♪ Whoa oh ♪

♪ Whoa oh ♪

♪ No no ♪

♪ Whoa oh ♪

♪ Whoa oh ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

You didn't say yes?

Of course not.

I said I'd think about it.

Claire, the man is a psycho,

he lied to everyone about that letter.

He was hurt, I was hurt, we're both hurt.

Look, maybe if the stupid war was over,

maybe we could love each other again.

I'm sorry, but that's blackmail.

Marry me or you lose Drovers,
very romantic.

And dangling his homeless, unborn child

in front of him wasn't blackmail?

Oh I get it,
you told him about the pregnancy,

and now he wants to do the right thing.

I haven't told him.

He wants me, Tess.

He still wants me.

Maybe it could work.

The baby would get a father.

Your brain has been scrambled by hormones.

It'd get a family.

This baby already has a family.

You, me, Meg, Becky, Jodi.

Don't even think about this, don't.

I have to.

Hey Claire,
you gonna check out this course today?

We just conceded Peter Johnson up front.

Come on, let's get a ring on.

(somber music)

Jodi, did Becky tell you
what she was doing today?

Well Brick was getting in yesterday,

what do you think she's doing?

You don't know where she is.

They'll come up for air eventually.

When they do, I think they might

have an announcement to make.

It's Medusa versus Madonna!

Any of us mourning miss out on weight?

Girl fight!

Nobody's worried about
breaking a fingernail tonight!

Turn it around like
you just cut into the ring!

Easy, sporty,
you might scare the little girl.

She's in a bit of strife.

I can see them fights, hold back 'em tight.

She's moving real low.

Oh, that's all.
Becky!

Keep your punches up!

Keep the punches up.
Come on, come on.

Come on, come on everybody,
give Becky some encouragement!

That's enough, she's just a beginner!

(crowd groaning)

Down, she's gone!

The challenger's down for the count!

(crowd applauding)

Becky, you're not ready for this.

Stop, let me finish.

He didn't get off the bus.

(Becky sobbing)

(somber music)

Just hypothetically,
what if Kevin had turned up

after only a year instead of 18 years?

(sighs) Different life.

I'd be a different person.

So you'd have taken him in?

Back then?

In a flash.

And what if he'd left not
knowing you were pregnant,

and he'd been messing
around with other women?

Well that'd be hard,

but not if he's the one
that makes your pulse race.

What's pregnancy got to do with it?

Nothing, it's just hypothetical.

Is this about you and Nick?

No, it's not about me.

It's not about anyone.

(soft music)

I remembered from last time.

Extra onions, extra sauce, enjoy!

Morning, how's business?

Sausages are walking out the doorway.

Out the door.

I was just remembering how

we always used to have an ice cream

when we came to the show.

I'd love to, Mom, but I'm really flat out.

Just sauce and onions, right?

If there's anything you need to talk about,

I'm all ears.

Are you sure there isn't
something else you need to tell me?

I guess I should tell you now.

I have found some really amazing deals

in off-season flights to Europe.

So a couple more sausage sizzles,

and we'll be able to afford our tickets.

Nothing else?

Is this Alberto's idea?

We talk about everything, Mom.

We both own the idea, okay?

It's such a drastic thing
to do at a time like this.

Well Italy's a bit far to swim, Mom,

so yeah a plane seemed like a good idea.

Just sauce?
Yes, thanks.

Alberto, have you got a minute?

Very soon, Meg, no worries.

How about we try for that drink later on?

Oh, yeah of course, later on.

If this business with
Tess is too awkward...

What business?

Oh nothing, we talked.

There's a few things I need to say.

Good things.

Hey there.

Hi, Meg.

Didn't see you to man a chutney

in the competition this year.

Life's outta control at the moment.

Tell me about it.

It's bad enough being a single mother.

Being a single grandmother
is just nauseating.

Struth, those Catholic blokes
don't muck around, do they?

Don't say anything, she hasn't told me yet.

Sure, no problem. (Chuckles)

What are you grinning at? (Scoffs)

(gentle music)

All the main food groups.

Coffee, hot chips, chocolate.

Eat something, okay, drink.

Don't tell me what to do,
I haven't been hit by a truck.

So, you tried calling Brick.

His uncle said he left
Queensland a week ago.

Could be he found some
work on the way down.

And forgot the time and the day.

He just another guy who's
too gutless to tell his girlfriend

that he got a better offer.

He'd have to be crazy.

It fits.

I've never had a guy look me in the eye

and tell me what he really feels.

(soft music)

What was that meant to be?

I'm sorry, you said...

Jake, just leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

(Becky sighs)

Right-o, this is good,
you go over that jump

you got plenty of room for a good turn,

get a good head of steam
down here over this jump,

you got a nice solid landing, Claire.

I don't know.

It's good takeoff footing over there.

Brave Jay's good,
but he's not the jumper I've seen.

Claire, Peter's ahead in points, right?

Yeah, but we can't afford a refusal.

There's no way Brave Jay's
gonna refuse the low jump.

Right-o.

We need a win, yeah?

Wouldn't it be great, Claire?

Would nail that poncy
little jerk to the wall.

I don't think abusing Peter
is helping things out much.

Man's gotta have a hobby.

Hello again.

You coming?
In a minute.

(somber music)

So what are you thinking?

Should I book the registry office,

or would you like to do
the whole church thing?

Alex and I have a business arrangement.

I can't just hang him out to dry.

Look, we'll sort something out.

There's always a role for Alex,

that's what you want.

I'm not saying I've made up my mind,

I'm just saying he's a good mate.

This mess is all gonna fade, Claire.

20 years from now we will laugh about it,

it'll be the story of how we got together.

Look over dumb mistakes,
and we're fighting,

we'll laugh ourselves silly,

and Alex'll be there too, laughing with us.

Is that how it works, Peter?

Bad stuff drops away.

What's left are stories,

some old friends, and us.

You'll let me know if you're

gonna do anything stupid, won't you?

Why start now?

Ah, the McLeod sisters.

Harry, Liz.
Hello.

Listen, we're neighbors and we're friends,

so if you need a hand with anything just...

Who have you been talking to, Harry?

No, no, just,

one odd rumor about
Tess and her hotel breaking.

That'd be Watergate,
Harry, way before my time.

Oh look, there's Nick and Sally.

Again.

Goodie.

They getting on so well,
and as it turned out,

I've known her mother for
absolutely years. (Chuckles)

Well get through this race,

and then we'll get through this day,

and then we'll get things sorted.

Psychedelic's up for the cross country yet?

Anymore more psyched up,
we'd have to lock him up.

I might go check on him, actually.

Sleep well?

Got a room at the pub, slept like a baby,

despite the mattress.

Doesn't get the physio stamp of approval,
eh?

If I stay long enough, I'll get used to it.

So any signs of germination yet?

It's a bit early, give it a couple weeks.

We're planting seeds together,

it's a business relationship.

Sounds good, is it a first?

Well, it's a start.

It's a one-off, I reckon.

We'll see how it goes.

(dramatic music)

I know what you're gonna do,

and I've thought about it too,
and it's a bad idea.

Butt out, Tess.

After everything that's happened...

I loved Peter, loved him!

Everything that could go wrong,

did go wrong, and it was all wrecked.

Maybe it doesn't matter,

maybe I've got a chance
to keep the land I love

doing the work I love with the man I love.

Yeah,
but did you ever think why did it go wrong?

(Tess sighs)

Try and eat up.

Try and kiss me again,
Isabella here's trying to bite.

I'm sorry about that.

It was a good kiss, just bad timing.

Who said it was good?

I know I spelled out the rules, you know?

We'd be mates, and we'd have a few laughs,

do a bit of boxing,

and I know I said we could be friends

and I wouldn't want more.

That's crap.

You're right, Beck.

It was crap.

I fell for you.

The first time I found your
ruffing through my cupboards.

I've been doing the just
friends routine ever since,

but I can't do it anymore.

I don't wanna be friends.

I want all of you.
(Becky scoffs)

I'm not a jerk, I haven't said anything,
done anything

because you and Brick.

Yeah?

He's left you in the lurch.

I reckon he's crazy, but maybe now...

Who says he's left me?

Hey.

You all right?

Yeah I'm okay, it's been a long day.

Oh, and it's only lunchtime.

I guess you've been
seeing a lot of Nick lately,

you being over at his property a bit?

Yeah, a bit.

It's just that

I need the goss, you know?

I can tell you're mates and
something's bugging him.

Maybe you should talk to Nick about that.

Yeah, right.

He's good at the frank chat thing.

Tess,
I need to know if Nick's seeing anyone.

Anyone serious?

(somber music)

Not that I know of.

Thanks.

I just don't wanna tread on any toes.

Well, that's sweet of you.

Well, when I met Nick at the surgery,

I thought, cute boy,

and then I got to know him,

and he's a real one-off.

He's the first guy I found

I can imagine changing my life for.

But hey, I'm drooling in front of you.

Now I know why you came
all this way on a house call.

Oh, this is fun, not work.

Anyway,
I hope he won't be my patient much longer.

Well, that's too bad.

Well, you know the rules.

We're not meant to sleep with our patients.

I'll just...

Get in here, come on now, come on now.

Get in here, get in.

Alberto!

Alberto!

I'm sorry, I really need to talk to you.

No worries, I'm all ears, Meg.

You're about to travel
to Italy and the world?

That is the plan.

Well I was just thinking,

what the hell, I think you should wait,

have the baby here,
wait 'til it's old enough.

Baby, me?

Yes, Jodi!

That's fantastic news!

Kara!

Meg?

When you were pregnant with Jodi...

When I was pregnant with Jodi,

the first person I told was Kevin,
her father.

The father should be the first to know.

Isn't that how it's done now?

Well not always, it depends.

Bloody Jodi, why hasn't she told him?

Meg, it's hard being a solo parent,
isn't it?

I mean, really hard?

Claire, you've got no idea how tough it is.

Yeah.

Oh my god, you're pregnant.

(somber music)

Oh, I'm sorry,
or congratulations, which is it?

Both, I suppose.

Look Claire, we'll talk, but just right now

there's a bit of a mess I have clean up.

Meg, you love Drovers, don't you?

You'd stick by it, no matter what I do?

Of course.

Why is this a big secret, Kara?

What are you on about?

We have started our family,

the first of six at least, maybe 10.

(speaking in foreign language) Fantastico!

That is like so far into the future,

and the lunch rush is hardly the time

to start discussing the
next decade of the family,

and what are you doing with those flowers

instead of more sausages?

Look, I'm sorry.

I think I might've got the facts mixed up.

Jodi, you're not pregnant.

Great, I'll make a note of that,
thanks, Mom.

So not pregnant?

No.

But this would be perfect.

No it would not.

We've been making plans for weeks,

travel plans, not baby plans.

You've been making plans,
I've been making sausages.

Time to spread the happy news?

I kept it a secret for an hour.

(whimsical music)

What does Peter think about the baby?

I haven't told him.

Don't say a word, okay?

Yeah, rightio.

He wants me back, Meg.

I think all our problems
could go away if I agreed.

Problems?

Australian Blood Lines
can take Drovers from us.

Peter's the only one who
can stop it from happening.

What?

She told you?

It's a really crap idea right?

We get to keep Drovers
and Peter's around forever,

or until he racks off again.

(somber music)

She needs to know the truth.

You know, Tess, Claire was a lonely kid.

She still is.

If she has some vision

of the perfect family that she missed.

Yeah,
but Peter can't give her what she wants.

Who are you thinking about here, Tess?

You wanna tell me what you two

are doing for the rest of the day?

Why?
Because then I can

be somewhere else.

Tess, have you got

a problem with me?
You gave me no chance

at all, Nick.

One mistake, one bad week,
and that's it, it's over?

You run hot and cold, Tess.

And Sally is permanently hot, is she?

Is that why Liz wheeled
her in to warm your bed up?

Forget Mom, forget Sally.

Let's do it now, you and me!

Do what?

Come home with me,

live with me,
let's get your stuff and go, right now.

Now?
Right now!

Take it or leave it.

Nick, I would, but I can't.

There's always a reason to hide, isn't it?

No, you don't understand.

At least Sally knows what she wants,

I don't think you have a clue.

You all right?

I had this friend who asked me once,

is he the one for you?

Ba boom.

Ba boom.

If it feels right to marry Peter,

if he's the one for you,

then forget all the problems.

Go for the good parts.

Marry him.

I'd probably even get you a present.

(uplifting music)

I've made my decision.

I accept your proposal,

provided you pass on my
letter to Australian Blood Lines,

and admit what a complete
bastard you've been.

Whatever it takes, yes!

There's a lot of details.

Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

So maybe after the challenge,

we could get together and
have dinner or something.

Ah, this is great.

I mean Australian Blood Lines

are gonna kick my ass out the door,
you know?

Look, that doesn't matter

because you are all I've ever wanted.

Just piss off, will you?

Alex, just face me, will you?

After everything he's done,

you go running back to his bed, huh?

Peter was hurt, I jilted the guy.

Listen to me.

I'm gonna thrash the big
ugly along with this race,

and then I'm back to being your neighbor.

See you when you need a cup of sugar.

Hey, man,
I am so over grilled onions and sausages,

but it's okay,
'cause we're making good money,

and what have you done with Brick?

He was a no show.

That can't be right.

Why not, he wouldn't be the first.

Yeah, but this is Brick, okay?

The guy would wade through
knee-deep funnel webs

to get back to you.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

This is weird, he said he was coming.

What, you talked to him?

Why'd he call you?

Okay,
he needed to talk to a friend of yours,

about something that he
couldn't talk about with you.

Tell me, Jo.

You know, he probably just missed the bus.

Jodi, what did he say to you,
was is it important?

It's supposed to be a secret.

He wanted to know if you like diamonds,
rubies, or emeralds,

in a ring.

A ring.

I said diamonds,
'cause they're the most expensive.

A ring?
Yeah.

Oh but when you see him,

can you try and act surprised, please?

Yeah.

Have you come to wish me luck?

Oh, what you said before

about the trouble would go,

we'd find a way of being friends with Alex.

Yeah sure, I'm mean he'll get over me.

Well, I just had a talk with Alex,

and it didn't go very well.

Well, that's his choice, Claire,

if it comes down to just you and me.

What does that mean?

Well, friends, they come and go.

Staff change jobs.

What, you mean Meg, and Becky staff?

(scoffs) What about my sister?

Well, she's got her own life too.

You and me, Claire,

that's what's important.

You don't need many people around, do you?

Look, you made up your mind before.

I'm sorry Peter,
but I need more than just the two of us.

(suspenseful music)

Oh what, now you're calling it off?

There's just too much bad blood between us.

What we had isn't there anymore.

It's time, Claire.

We just need time.

I could do this if I loved you, Peter,

but it's gone.

(somber music)

Sorry to be a nuisance,

but you may as well have these.

They were for Jodi,

but well now.
(chicks cheeping)

Oh Terry, they're gorgeous.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, they're cute and cuddly for a while,

and when they grow up, duck stew.

You old softie.

You make the best duck stew, don't you?

Grandma Meg, you know,
I kinda like the sound of that.

Do you, makes me wanna hit someone.

Do you want me to keep my distance, Terry?

What gave you that idea?

Some people.

Some people reckon I
should steer clear of you.

Nothing wrong with us being mates, eh?

(cheerful music)

I've got something for you.

I have a present for you also.

Not flowers this time.

(Jodi giggles)

I got it at the jumble store.

We can do this trip so cheaply.

I mean with my savings,
and the money we're making here,

we can almost afford it.

We can go, Rome, Paris.

You're always thinking about next week,
next month.

Yeah, of course.

I'm thinking long term,
about our life here, our family.

The roots we put down.

Roots?

Do we want roots?

Our olive trees, one each.

Oh, that's so sweet.

We'll plant them at Drovers Run,

we watch them grow, and give fruit.

Alberto,
how long until the first olives appear?

Five years, Kara, only five years.

Oh.

Just about due for a tea break,
if you're free.

Actually...
What's in the box?

(Frank chuckles)

Cute.

They make good pets?

They do, and then they make good casserole.

Do they?

That's the way things go on the property,
I guess.

Yes Frank, we eat all our
animal friends sooner or later.

When we get together,

I just wanted to ask the old question,

where do we go from here?

I mean, it's been fun so far.

It has been fun getting to know you, Frank.

(sighs) I think I might
have to pass on that drink.

Maybe next week?

I don't think so.

(somber music)

Meg?

The ducklings, present from Terry, right?

Yeah.

I suppose the duck's out of the question,
then.

You've been in the ring since day one,
haven't ya?

Get on, mate.

You got what you wanted, didn't ya?

You've been wide eyeing me

since the day I turned
up with these contracts,

and you're doing it again today.

Claire came to her senses, huh?

Well, it's better now than a
month down the track, mate,

but I guess you woulda probably

settled for a month with her.

(suspenseful music)

(Alex groans)

(Alex screaming)

Don't touch it, just get Nick, get Nick.

Somebody get Nick!

Nick!

He's dislocated his shoulder again.

Nick!

Yeah, yeah, I can hear halfway to Fisher.

The usual, is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, same old.

Nick, do you want me to?

No, no, I know the drill.

Just do it fast.

Yeah, ready?
Yeah, yep.

Just get on with it!

You ready?
Yeah! (Screams)

You all right?
Yeah.

You sure?
Yeah.

Come on, there you go.

You do this often?

Well, often enough.

You all right?

Yeah, it wasn't easy, but I can handle it.

You're not gonna be riding
in the cross country, are ya?

Becky!

Can't leave without saying goodbye.

Bus won't hang around.

Well, good luck, and I hope you find him.

Sure you do.

Nah, I mean it.

Do you need any extra money or anything?

Nah, I'll get by.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, thanks.

You're a mate, whatever you say.

(gentle music)

Becky, wait!

Look, you can't go, okay?

My life just really complicated.

Alberto wants to stay here forever.

He makes it sound almost romantic,
but it's not.

Stick with him, Jodi,
Alberto's one of the good guys.

Becky, please, you don't understand.

Say goodbye to everyone for me.

I don't wanna get talked outta this.

(uplifting music)

You've come back.

How's business?

I've been counting our money.

We've done well.

You see?

Few more sausage sizzles and we can manage

a short trip, at least.

There is a way, Kara, to do a longer trip.

You could take all our money and go.

By myself?

But I wanna have adventures with you.

I've been trying to explain.

I'm already on an adventure.

All this, Drovers Run,
our love, it's amazing for me!

You'd let me fly away.

I'll do your work for Claire and Tess.

You go and have your fun,

and then come home to me, okay?

(gentle music)

Well, what's the point of this, Claire?

You're not prepared for it.

What's the point of any race?

Look, it's not the end of the world

if Peter takes out the challenge.

He's not gonna win.

I'm gonna ride him down, and whip his ass.

But she's pregnant.

Okay ladies and gentlemen,

the competitors are
assembled for the last leg

of the Stockman's Challenge,

and the marshal is in attendance.

Peter Johnson on Solitaire is first off,

galloping hard and well
down to the first jump.

Next away should be Alex Ryan,

but Alex is a late scratching,

and that's bad luck for
the McLeod-Ryan team.

Filling his spot will be
number three rider, whoa!

That's Claire McLeod riding Brave Jay,

taking over for Alex Ryan to the gallop.

(upbeat music)
(crowd cheering)

This is pure spite, you know.

It's all totally unnecessary.

Claire left pretty easy.

She almost jumped the gun at the end.

Yes, this race is the highlight every year.

You don't understand anything, ask a local.

You know, Nick could go on this next year.

He could indeed,
thanks to Sally's hard work.

Oh, well done.

Okay, Liz, I can say it now.

I've really made an effort
to get along with you,

but I don't give a stuff anymore.

You are one of the most self-centered

and manipulative people
that I have ever met.

Excuse me?

You've won.

You've saved Nick from me.

I wonder who'll save him from you.

Bitch.

Get up.

(horse whinnies)
Come on,

what are you doing to me?

Get around, come on!

Look out!

(horse whinnying)
(Claire screaming)

Claire!

Get off!

Claire, Claire, it's Peter.

Claire, can you hear me?

God, somebody!

Claire, it's Peter.

Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.

(suspenseful music)

Go, go get an ambulance!

Everything's gonna be all right, Claire.

Get an ambulance, Claire McLeod's down!

Claire!

(sirens wailing)

She's okay.

She's breathing, she's breathing.

What's her name?
Claire,

Claire, please hurry!

Claire.

Claire, can you hear me?

Look she was trying
to talk just a minute ago.

My name's Julie, I'm an ambulance officer.

Had a bit of a tumble off your horse.

Get this helmet off.

What have you done this time?

Claire tried to take the top jump.

What did you do?

It wasn't my fault!

I'll bloody kill you!

Yeah, pulse is weak and thready.

Claire, can you squeeze my hands?

Claire!

Claire!

She's okay, she's hanging in there.

Oh my god.

Tess?

I'm here, Claire.

It's okay.

Don't try and smile, Claire, it all hurts.

Brave Jay.

Brave Jay.

They're looking after him.

Claire,
I'll give you some morphine for the pain.

There's something you should know.

She's pregnant.

You said what?

The baby.

It's not yours.

It's mine.

I'm the father.

(suspenseful music)

I knew it.

Peter.

Peter, this isn't finished yet.

She's a bitch and she's outta my life.

No she's not,
you still got Claire's resignation letter.

I want it back!

Oh right, you think the pain

just goes away like that, do you?

I don't care if it does or not,

give me the damn letter now!

(gentle music)
(monitor beeping)

She settled in?

She lost a lot of blood.

Her leg's pretty bad,
she'll be here for months.

She'll love that. (Chuckles)

What about?

She's still pregnant.

What a mess.

Claire?

Got the letter, look.
