(soft music)

Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

My daughter, Rose, Rosie.

You must have been very young.

15.

And how's Rose?

My dad kicked me out of
home when he found out.

I'm sorry.

Is she back from school yet?

She lives with my sister, Michelle.

Just tell her that Aunt Stevie loves her.

Everyone thought that was for the best.

Well, did you?

We can't ignore the environmental cost

of John Murray's business empire.

Now his visit to Gungellan
is the perfect opportunity

for us to...
The Farmers' Council

will negotiate the beef contract

when he opens his steakhouses here.

Here, here.

Can't you take her away for the weekend?

It's a free country.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion,
dad.

Oh, come on, Tess.

So the guy's made a couple of squillion.

You can't blame a bloke
for wanting a share of that.

Should I be putting this in the minutes?

Yes.
No.

We've got two days to go.

Let's get on with it.

Kate, I assume the grogs are in order.

Yeah, beverage coordination is on track.

Just waiting for the
winery to get back to me.

Nick.

Yeah.
Yeah, we gotta roll.

We got a meeting with
one of Murray's people

at the town hall.

I'll see you there for it.

Yup.

Traitors.

Luke, this looks really expensive.

How did you afford it?

Oh, it's on lease.

And I sold the car.

What?

We just won it back.

Yeah, I know, I know.

But the Worthington
fleet maintenance contract

is up for grab.

It's worth thousands a month.

I gotta upgrade the workshop
if I wanna be in with a chance.

Hey, do you want a hand with that, mate?

Yeah, thanks, mate.

Can you tell me where the town hall is?

I've got a meeting there.

Yup, you just wanna go straight ahead.

Take the first turn on your left.

Hey,
you here for the John Murray lunch thing?

Yeah, yeah.

I gotta make sure everything
is just the way he likes it.

Do you work for him?

I take care of all the details, yeah.

Oh, so you're like his PA.

Cool.

Well, it was nice to meet you.

Oh, hey, Stevie,

you want me to put that
on the account for you?

Yeah, thanks.

That'll go in the Murray account, right?

Yeah, we can set that up.

Stevie?

I knew you were Stevie
with red hair like that.

It's Will, Will Hamilton, Broken Hill High.

Oh, yeah.

How are you?

Well, better for seeing you.

What are you doing out here?

Long story.

But I'm in a bit of a rush,
but nice seeing you again.

Well, I'm here for a couple of days.

Why don't you take my number?

Maybe we can catch up.

Yeah, maybe.

From the look on your face,

that has got to be an old boyfriend.

I don't wanna talk about it, Jod.

Okay.

(bright music)

(soft music)

Hey, Kate.

Can I get a lift into town with you?

I might check out the meeting.

Tess.

I'll fix those leaky pipes
as soon as I get back.

Hey, you can tell me about Will on the way.

Impress him, impress his boss.

Since when did you care about the meeting?

Some rich Yankee,
you called him last night.

Well, he's bringing business to the area.

I should do my bit.

Ah, or maybe you could meet up

with a certain ex-boyfriend.

Hmm, especially because he's doing

so well for himself.

You're all so wrong.
(phone beeping)

Jodi, can you remind like
that I've got your phone.

He keeps sending text
messages I'd really rather not see.

Sure, no problem.

There was one in
particular abut strawberries...

Okay, bye, Kate.

Hey, by the way, you changed your shirt.

Should I do the same?

Should I change my shirt?

Kate, get in the car.

Well, should I call him Will?

(upbeat music)

As someone you went to school with,

you don't remember much about him.

I hated school.

I don't want to remember anything about it.

Stevie, what are you doing here?

Just helping out Kate.

G'day.

I'm Will Hamilton.

I work for John Murray.
Alex Ryan.

I run Killarney with my brother Nick here.

G'day, mate.
G'day.

We're the biggest beef
producers in the district.

Kate Manfredi, Mr. Hamilton.

I'm the beverage coordinator for the lunch,

and it's a pleasure to meet you.

Okay, just call me Will, please.

Oh, Will.

Will, this is Stevie Hall.

Hello, red.

Hello, ex.

Ah, you haven't forgotten.

I knew it.

And then the kiddies from
Mr. Murray's old school

would sing a song,
and the whole shooting match will finish

with the mayor handing
out the keys to the town.

Excellent.

It should be a great success.

Now,
we'll be featuring Killarney's grain-fed

aged Angus beef in the menu.

Obviously, your boss will know a good steak

when he meets one.

Ah, this all looks great.

Makes my job easier.

Of course, with red on the team,

I know I can ask for just
about anything and it'll happen.

The best runner our band ever had.

Ah, so that's the connection.

Oh, yeah.

Whatever the guys needed, she found it.

So it won't be a problem

to get James' favorite
brand of guava juice.

Oh, um, well, it's kind of short notice.

Jokes, just joking.

Oh.
Just yeah, relax.

He only drinks spa water anyway.

I've got a couple of cases in the car.

A couple of cases?

He's only here for a few hours, isn't he?

Well, if he likes what he hears,

he might stay a bit longer.

Nice.

So Will, about the seating arrangements,

Nick and myself would like to have

a one on one with Mr. Murray.

It would be good to know what his plans are

for supplying the
steakhouse franchises here.

Yeah, there'll be a lot of people

who'd wanna talk business with Mr. Murray.

It's my job to make sure
that whoever he meets

is worth his time because time is money.

(phone ringing)
Ah, excuse me.

Will Hamilton.

He knows his onions, doesn't he?

Yeah, yeah, I understand,
it's just a shame.

Yup, yup.

No, no, don't bother, please.

I'll pass on the message myself, yup.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Okay, bye.

Should I get that water out of your car?

Hmm?

Ah, yeah.

The invoice is in the car.

And if you could settle it ASAP.

Oh, right.

And he likes it well chilled.

The fridge here won't hold two cases.

Well, it'll have to.

The fridge at the
shearers' quarters is empty,

and you can get ice from here on the day.

Great, I told you she could fix anything.

Hey, listen, Will.

We'd like to invite you out to Killarney

for a tour of the place and
a spot of dinner, maybe.

So you can tell Murray
you've seen our setup firsthand.

We'd like to make the most
of our lunch with Mr. Murray.

(dramatic music)
Understood.

I'll be happy to take a look around.

Around five?

Get directions from the pub.

See you then.
Will do.

Hey, how come you're footin' him cash?

Ah, it's business, Stevie.

That's how it works with guys like him.

You gotta prove you're a player.

So you reckon he's all right then?

You're thinking of picking
up where you left off?

Oh, of course not.

Jeepers!

Stevie, look how much this water costs.

I don't see your name on the seating plan.

Not really my sort of thing.

So you're a real mover and shaker now.

Well, it's a dream gig, I have to admit.

So how about catching up?
Yeah, yeah.

Look, I'm flat jammed till James arrives.

But I reckon we could squeeze in

a drink somewhere, don't you?

Yeah.

Cheap water will do me.

Forget $6 a bottle.

Why, what's in it, gold?

I wish.

I can barely cover the two cases,
let alone the alcohol.

You know, all the wineries
I've contacted want a guarantee

that the steakhouse is actually happening.

Now isn't it still good publicity

to have your name seen at the lunch?

Yeah, you'd think so.

Well, so much for wowing
Murray with my business skills.

Kate, come on.

I wanna get back.
Yeah, coming.

Hey, um, Bob Worthington
will be at this lunch, won't he?

He's in the beef trade.

Are you kidding?

How much wine do you need?

10 cases, maybe two grands' worth.

It's not that much.

I'm gonna write you a check right now.

You?
Yeah.

I'm waiting to close
this deal for Worthington.

If he sees that I'm a sponsor,

then I reckon that's gonna clinch it.

Okay.

Well, Will's so busy,

and now Killarney's got him
tied up with that damn dinner.

I don't wanna make a big deal about it.

I just want a chance to catch up.

So what's the favor?

Well, Sandra and Harry won't want me there.

But if you're going with Nick,

maybe you can wrangle me
and invite him just for a drink.

Well, hello, gang.

I'll put back tomorrow.
(phone ringing)

I'll redress the eye

and make sure that infection's clearing.

Oh, forget Don Kingsley, must be his mare.

I'll see you.
Thanks, Dave.

Hello.

So what's the deal with you

and this bloke you
haven't seen since school?

I just need to know what
type of guy Will's turned into.

That's all.

You need to.

Well, I'd like to.

You're still holding a candle for him.

No, nothing like that.

I was crazy about Will back then,

but we'd only been
going out for a few months

before he moved away.

And that was it?

He never called?

He might have.

(somber music)

But I'd already been kicked out of home.

I had enough to worry about,
pregnant on the streets.

Will.

I was only 15.

I thought I was in love.

He's Rose's dad.

Only he doesn't know it yet.

Yes, I know we didn't sign anything,
Mr. Worthington,

but you said that.

You do realize that I am
one of the major sponsors

for the John Murray lunch, right?

And I've leased all this
equipment for the workshop,

which means that.

Okay, all right.

Well, thanks a lot.

Hey!

Oh, hey.

I thought my favorite business tycoon

might be too busy to make dinner.

Ah, thank you.

Are you okay?

Yup, long day.
Oh.

Well, Kate had these printed out for you.

She said they were the
biggest letters she could do.

You know,
she really shouldn't have asked you

to pay for the booze.

It's good publicity.

Was that what she said?

Oh, come on, Jodi, I can do this.

I just don't think Terry
expects you to do all this, Luke.

I guess that's the point.

Nobody expects me to
do anything except stuff up,

but they're wrong.

Well,
how are you gonna spend your first million?

Share it with the girl that
makes me feel like a winner.

So this morning,
Murray and anyone who worked for him

had horns and a fork tail,
and now we're entertaining them.

Life's never dull with you, is it?

Well, friends before politics.

This is for Stevie.

So did I thank you enough for
getting the dinner moved here.

The last 50 times is probably overdoing it.

So my end of the bargain
is I promise Murray won't see

my petition and I won't go
anywhere near the lunch.

You met Will.

What did you think?

Yeah, he seems nice.

So Stevie's okay then?

You just want everyone
to live happily ever after,

don't you?

Well, just like us, you mean.

Better go check on dinner.

(soft music)

Nick, come on!

(laughing) And then there was the time

we hitched him in Indie Lakes.

Do you remember?

We didn't have a cent left to buy food.

Will's idea was to
pretend to be backpackers

who had just been robbed.

And we pulled a sob story on someone

and then hopefully get a free lunch.

Go on, tell 'em.
(all laughing)

Excuse me,
but we were just robbed at Trent station

and they took everything that we had.

We scored a free lunch,

and they offered us a room for the weekend.

I still can't believe we got away with it.

You were up for anything then.

Right, so nothing's changed.

Yeah, it's hard to believe

she's now my overseer
with a share in Drover's.

Really?

Well, you can't stay wild all your life,
can you?

So are you based in New York?

Isn't that the head office?

I wish.

No, my base is my suitcase

and the last hotel room I checked into.

A job like this,
you're on the road nonstop.

Well, that must be hard on your family.

Probably why I don't have one.

You don't want one?

The life I lead, it wouldn't be fair.

Yeah, but maybe, one day.

Yeah, I'm gonna retire at 40

to work on my handicap.

(both laughing)
Now you're talking.

Well, if you're interested,

we've got a great course
here at the Edgemont.

We can have a game tomorrow if you like.

Tee it up.

Do you need a caddy?

Hmm?

Ah, Stevie, leave that.

I'm sure you wanna take Will,

look through some old school photos.

Yeah, that'll be good for a laugh.

We need to discuss that
seating arrangement, mate.

We've done that.
Let's go.

Take it easy.

Ah, yeah, yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Will.

See you tomorrow.

Right, well,
I better do the drinks inventory.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Stevie,
why don't you have coffee at your place?

Yeah, okay.

Great, okay.

Thanks for dinner, it was delicious.

Oh, my pleasure.

(dramatic music)

Okay, it's tidy now.

Coffee won't be long.

What didn't you want me to see?

Photos of your boyfriend?

I don't have one.

Oh, come on.

You were always, well, you know, out there.

You used to have guys hanging off you.

Well, back then, that was just an act.

I wasn't sleeping with them,
if that's what you mean.

Right.

No, I hung out with the band

because it was better than being at home.

And I acted tough and cool

so I wouldn't get told to rack off.

You're kidding.

So all that time you had me worried

about fighting off the competition...

That was just an act to impress you.

You do dumb stuff like that
for your first real boyfriend.

First?

Me?

Yeah.

I can't believe I hid it so well.

I had no idea.

So where'd you get to?

You're the one that took off, remember?

So did you.

I called.

Your father said, she's gone to Sydney

just before he hung up on me.

Oh, yes.

I figured as much.

Dad always thought you
were a rockstar hooligan.

Yeah, like you were such an innocent.

Hey, I was a babe in the woods

until a certain lead
guitarist corrupted me.

(Will chuckling)

I've thought about you over the years,

wondered what happened to you.

Yeah.

Same here.

(kettle whistling)

I bet you never dreamed
you'd end up where you have.

No, you're the one who struck it rich, red.

Oh, so you'd swap rubbing shoulders

with the rich and famous for this.

Well, it's not really what you think it is.

You should be proud of yourself.

Look how successful you are.

Yeah, but I don't have this,

your own place, friends, beautiful country.

What's wrong with the blokes around here?

I can't believe no one's
snapped you up yet.

Oh, I'm a little choosy.

So you should be.

You deserve the best.

Well, I have someone else to consider.

Most blokes run a mile when
they find out you've got a kid.

Really?

Wow.

Her name's Rose.

This was taken a while ago.

She's bigger now.

Yeah, she's a cutie.

I'd like to meet her.

Well, she's living with my
sister for the time being.

Well, she takes after her mum.

Really?

I think she looks more like her father.

Is he still on the scene?

Not too far off, no.

Well, I better make a move then,
early start and all.

Yeah, sure.

I'll see you around then.

Yeah, I'm sure Kate will need a hand, so.

It's good to see you, red.

Yeah, you too.

Have a good day.

See ya.

Hey, thank you for this.

I'm just gonna need
the loan for a few days.

It's just until I start

turning more of a profit around here.

Well, I'll hand over two grand

without a guarantee I'll see it again.

You can earn it instead.

I've got a few jobs for you.

Ah.

No, no way.

I'm sorry, man.
Mate, I'm not Ray Billings.

Don't back out now.

If you want the money, you'll do it.

I'll just earn it some other way.

Remember that engine you needed fast

for your girlfriend's car?

Yeah, the one I fixed you up for.

Shame if the cops got wind of it.

You're a bastard.

You want my money, you watch your mouth.

We got a deal?
Do I have a choice?

No.

Ah, so what, they're hot?

No, mate, I found them, what do you reckon?

Here's where to go.

The buyer's only there till 10.

So if you miss him, you get nothing.

Okay, I want my cut upfront.

In your dreams.

When I see the cash for 'em,
you'll see yours.

(ominous music)

(phone ringing)

(suspenseful music)

I wanna report an accident
on the Old Sandy Creek Road,

west of Gungellan, about five K's.

A four wheel drive has rolled

and the driver's still
trapped on the inside.

Dave, can you hear me?

Dave?

Okay, okay, we're gonna
have to get you outta here, mate.

Okay, mate.

We're gonna get you outta here.

Okay.

There you go, Dave.

You're safe.

Will didn't even bat an eyelid.

He thought Rose was gorgeous.

Well, why didn't you tell him?

Oh, well,
the right moment just didn't come up.

And then I thought I should sleep on it.

I wanna feel absolutely
sure I can trust him.

Well, any reason you think that you can't?

No.

But you know me,
I usually rush on in and stuff things up.

Think what this will mean for Rose,

having someone like Will as her father.

Suddenly, her whole world is opened up,

and she'll have these opportunities

that I could never give her.

(soft music)

It's gonna be a shock
finding out that he's a dad.

I wanna make sure he won't run a mile.

Well, not every man does, you know.

Okay, Dave.

It's okay, mate.

Oh, come on.

(Dave grunting)
Okay, hey, easy.

Easy, easy, mate.

Dave, just lie still for me.

(sirens wailing)

Okay, Dave, I'm gonna have to leave you.

So I just need you to lie still for me,

and they'll be here any minute, okay?

Everything's fine.

Okay.

Hey, hey!

Mate, are you all right?

Yeah, never been better, mate.

And you called an ambulance, geez.

Ah, yeah.

Okay.

You were late.

You nearly stuffed the deal.

Yeah, there was an accident.

Don't stop for anything next time.

There is no next time, mate.

This is just to tide me over.

Hey, oy, hey!

It's only a grand.

You think I'd give you two K for one job?

Yeah, we had a deal.

So sue me.

You got my number if
you wanna earn the rest.

Now what was I gonna do,

leave the guy bleeding
on the side of the road?

Saving a bloke's life.

I tell you, there are better excuses

for getting out of golf, mate.

Hey,
who said anything about getting out of it.

Dave's all right, isn't he?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just keeping him

for observation for a couple of hours.

Stevie, did you hear Dave flipped his car.

It nearly caught on fire,
and Will pulled him free.

Well, I mean it wasn't anything like...

Well, it sounds like the
whole thing could have blown.

Dave could have died.

Hey, Kate, where do you want
me to put the coffee machine?

Inside, I'll show you.

Lucky you were passing by.

So you save lives, travel the world.

Is there anything else
you haven't mentioned?

Part-time spy?

Olympic gold medalist, perhaps?

What you see is what you get, honest.

So maybe we could have that last drink

at my place before you go.

Hey, Will,
you wanna look at the PA systems,

see if it's what you need?

Yeah, can do.
Cool, thanks.

Hmm, I thought you weren't interested.

You women,

you're a sucker for the
Superman routine every time.

You're a killer.

Hey, here you are.

Yeah, a million things to do today.

Listen, about that drink.

Oh, yeah.

Alex invited me down to the pub.

You should come down.

Oh, no, I meant just the two of us.

Maybe after?

Well, I think it's gonna be a big one.

Okay, tomorrow then.

JM arrives.

No one's gonna see me tomorrow.

Well, Will,
it's really important that I talk to you.

So talk to me now.

No, not like this.

Why not?

(somber music)

Because

Rose is your daughter.

That's why not.

What?

I found out I was pregnant
just after you left town.

And I would have told you years ago

if I had any idea where you were.

You're kidding, right?

You're not kidding.

I'm not asking for anything.

I'd just like her to know who her father is

when I decide to tell her that I'm her mom.

She doesn't know?

Dad kicked me out.

I was just a kid with a kid.

So everyone thought she'd
be better off with my sister.

Oh, red.

There's never been a right
time to tell her about me,

about us.

But when I do tell her,
it would make a big difference

if I could tell her who her father is, too.

I know she'd be proud of you, Will.

I am.

Right.

Well,

my daughter.

Wow.

Oh, she's got my eyes.

See, I told you she looked like her dad.

She got your mouth, too.

Never shuts up.
(Will laughing)

Oh, she's beautiful.

Yeah.

I just can't believe we made her.

(soft music)

I'd like to be there when
she finds out about us.

Well, when I decide the time is right,

sure.

I would like to see a bit more of you,
anyway.

Oh, Will, that was a long time ago.

We're not the same people.

Did I tell you her grades
are picking up at school?

She's even passing maths.

She didn't get that from either of us.

(Stevie laughing)

(dramatic music)

I found it in your drawer.

It doesn't seem right
having to hide your son away.

I didn't wanna hurt you.

I figured I've done enough of that.

I know, but it's not Harrison's fault.

It's not your fault, either.

It's just the way things turned out.

He should be here with everyone else.

I got so lucky with you.

Dave, are you all right?

Shouldn't you be at home resting?

I'm super tremendous.

Doc gave me the all clear.

Right.

Well, if you start getting
any sign of a headache,

make sure you go back...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got the piece of paper
on what to look out for.

You know, I still can't work out

exactly what happened, you know?

Last thing I remember,
I was swerving to miss a wombat.

Oh, I hope I didn't hit it.

(fingers snapping)
I should take a look.

You should be putting your feet up.

Ah, no.
Yes.

Hey, Dave, you wanna watch your shift

in the truck stop car,

it has a bit of trouble finding third.

Cheers.
You are not driving home.

You've just been in a serious car accident.

Listen, I'm fantastic.

Could you give this back to Will?

He probably...
Forget it, Dave.

I'll do it.

I'm not letting you drive home.

Looks like I've been told, woo-hoo.

It seems like.

Luke, that's your jacket.

Yeah, shh, I know, I know.

Listen, I don't know what
Will has been going on about,

but it was me, okay?

I pulled Dave out of the wreck.

What?

Look, just, it's okay.

Just let him take the credit for it.

It's not okay, Luke.

You left the scene of an accident.

You left Dave.

No, he was all right, okay?

I waited until I could hear the ambulance.

Well,
I can't believe you didn't stay with him.

I had an appointment I had to keep.

It's truck stop business.

You were drumming up business

rather than staying with Dave?

Hey, I did all the right things, okay?

He was conscious.

I checked for broken bones.

I made him a neck brace.

There's nothing more
I could do for the guy.

I can't believe you're so
desperate to prove yourself.

I don't know what's going
on with you at the moment.

Tess!

Bonjour.

Will can't believe he's the father.

He's thrilled.

Now I can tell Rosie
everything when I see her.

Oh, what?

Well,
I heard Will was a bit of a hero today.

Yeah, he pulled Dave out of a prang.

Well, it was lucky he was driving by.

Except it wasn't him.

It was Luke.

(somber music)

He called the ambulance then took off.

He told me.

But why would he do that?

Because he's been flat out

trying to prove himself at the truck stop.

Sorry.

What?

What, that Will came along

and helped someone that
Luke had just left behind?

Yeah, and he lied about it.

Yeah, well, that's just Will.

He likes to stretch the truth,
but he always has.

No harm done.

Hi, this is Will.

You know the drill.

Don't make a peep till you hear the beep.

(phone beeping)

Hi, Will, it's Stevie.

Listen, I wanted to.

(dramatic music)

Leaving without saying goodbye?

When JM calls, you jump.

I was gonna leave a note...
Listen, Will.

I wanna ask you something.

How did you know the name of that road

where Dave had his accident?

What do you, what do you mean?

You must have told the ambos where to go,
right?

Well, it was the golf course road, I just.

You didn't call them, did you?

I never said I was a hero.

Everybody else did that.

I just ran with it, I just played along.

It was a bit of fun, just like old times.

It's fun when you're a kid.

It's a bit pathetic at our age.

Oh, come on.

It's not that big a deal.

Look,
you don't have to make yourself look good.

You're a big success as it is, so...

It's all about the job, isn't it?

I mean that's what matters,
not who you are but what you do.

Would you have told me about Rose

if I had said I drove taxis?

Of course.

The last few days have been
a job interview, haven't they?

Did I make the grade enough
to be told I have a daughter?

Well, I'm a father whatever I do.

And guess what,

I really do drive a cab.
(dramatic music)

What?

I don't work for John Murray.

I've never even met the bloke.

You know, I just pick up odd
jobs as a gofer sometimes.

There was a mix up,

they needed someone to cart his water here.

But you let everyone schmooze you.

You took money from Alex.

You've ripped off my mates!

Yeah, I,

yeah, you should give him his money back.

That's not gonna make it better.

Will, why?

Why would you do that?

You know the guy you met in high school

who was going places?

He never got there.

You always looked up to me.

I didn't wanna disappoint you.

Huh, congratulations, you have.

I trusted you, Will.

Has anything you've said been the truth?

I mean, what else have you lied about?

(phone ringing)

Kate Manfredi here.

Yes, yes.

Yeah, I've got Murray's overpriced water.

Yeah.

Hey, did you,
did you manage to pick up that ice for me?

Okay, thanks, yup.

Bye.

(somber music)

Dave, hi, it's Kate.

Look, I think I,
I think I found that wombat that you hit.

No, it's dead, I'm sorry.

But I think she's got a baby.

You sure you're okay to
be driving and back at work?

Yeah, I'm just gold,

which is more than I
can say for this little fella.

He hadn't been with his mum too long.

But you'll be able to save him, won't you?

He's badly dehydrated.

Actually, I might need some saline, please,

and an eyedropper.

Thanks.

I'm so gonna miss Mr. Murray's arrival.

Have you got any water?

I thought you said saline.

No, not for him, for the car.

The temperature gauge is reading hot.

Thanks, Kate.

Jodi!

(upbeat music)

Okay, Dave, don't use any more

than you absolutely have to, okay?

Oh, I might need a bit more than that.

Oh, no, these cost a fortune.

Yeah, sorry.

Hey,
would you mind just putting it in for me?

I've kinda got my hands full here.

Really late for the town hall.

Yeah, but the little womby.

Okay, that's fine.

(people chattering)

Oh, my god.

This is so exciting.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing here?

What, you think I'd miss

the biggest thing to happen in Gungellan?

You're not wrong.

I am gonna shmooze Bob Worthington

something fierce while he's partying.

You watch.

Oh, I hope it works.

I want Luke, the mad businessman,

to go away and the old Luke to come back.

Here he comes!

(band music playing)

No, no, cut the music.

Wrong car.

Hey, Stevie, you can't stop here.

Murray's due.

Just move it.

Murray's not coming.

He canceled day before yesterday.

What?

How do you know that?

Will told me.

Why the hell didn't he tell us?

Because he is a lying,
scheming, ripoff merchant.

He doesn't even work for Murray.

He was just hired as a gofer for the trip.

Listen,
I paid 300 bucks for a seat at his table.

Saw you coming, we only paid two.

No, he saw us all coming.

What an act, mate.

Your old boyfriend owes us.

I'll get your money back.

I reckon he got off lightly.

How are you gonna tell Terry

that you spent all his money on nothing?

Uh, I'm good for it.

Oh, good.

Mr. Murray's running late, is he?

Now I know what I did was wrong,

but you gotta give me a chance, please.

I wanna be a good dad.

I'm gonna do the right thing by Rose.

She doesn't need
someone like you in her life.

No, no more scams.

No more lies.

I swear.

I wanna make her proud of her father.

Oh, yeah, how?

This guy I know, he runs a record company.

He's practically offered me
a job about a million times.

Once I get my foot in the door...

You just can't help it, can you, Will?

It's the real thing.

Stevie, this is my industry.

I've managed bands.

In high school!

God, Will, it's all up here.

None of it is in the real world.

Yeah, well,
the real world is not such a great place.

(dramatic music)

Except

now there's Rose.

Maybe I did do something right.

You go anywhere near her,
I'll come after you.

She's my daughter, too.

And I'll her the real
story when I think it's time.

You got it?

It wasn't all bull dust.

I meant what I said
about you striking it rich.

Yeah, I have.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

(hammer banging)

Stop land clearing now!

Hi.

We had a deal.

I got the dinner moved to
Drover's and you wouldn't protest.

Yes, and I'm very grateful.

But if you recall,

I only said I wouldn't go into
town or present my petition.

I didn't say anything
about signs or placards.

That's very clever.

I guess you got me there.

So all over now, is it?

Yeah, hang in there.

Murray should be along very soon.

Huh, good eye.

See ya.
(Nick chuckling)

(whimsical music)

I suppose I should be flattered.

I had guys jump on the back of bulls,

wrestled crocs to impress me,

but no one's gone quite as far as Will.

At least I'm consistent.

I haven't broken my lousy run with men.

Apart from meeting me, you mean.

What am I gonna tell Rose?

You're gonna tell Rose the truth.

What, your father's a sad case

who wouldn't know the
truth if he tripped over it?

Now you listen to me.

The truth is you're an overseer

on a major cattle and sheep property.

You own a stake in it.

You've got your own house,
and you're the slightly

weaker half of the winning pool comp team.

How's that for you?

I suppose if you look at it like that.

That is the only way to look at it, Stevie.

What do you mean by
the slightly weaker half?

Who sunk the most balls last week?

Come on, you know that was a fluke.

Right.

Then why don't you just
get rid of me if I'm that bad.

Well, that wouldn't be neighborly.

Besides, you never know

when I might need to borrow a cup of sugar.

(laughing) And what
would you need sugar for?

You don't cook.

Oh, that is it.

(Stevie screaming)
