♪ Ah ♪

Previously, on McLeod's Daughters.

Princess Jodi turns two.

You know,
I never pegged Jack for such a big softie.

He's called her that since
the day she was born.

I didn't think he was into kids that much.

So, Moira did my astrology chart,

but there's some weird stuff in there.

What sort of weird stuff?

Well, I think I got Dad's birth date wrong.

I mean, his influence in
my chart is all over the shop.

It doesn't add up.

Why'd Jack call Jodi princess?

He was being silly.

And all those little notes about

her since the day she was born?

Embarrassing.

Embarrassing.

(paper ripping)

(dramatic music)

I knew someone who'd changed his name.

Why?

Doesn't matter.

When it was gone,

he realized he hadn't just lost a name,

he'd lost himself.

Well, can he change it back?

Apparently not.

Sometimes,
things are best left the way they are.

Is that what you tell yourself about Jodi?

Speaking the truth
isn't always for the best.

(gentle piano music)

Wakey, wakey, Princess.

What, what time?

I'm up.
♪ Why was she born so beautiful ♪

♪ Why was she born at all ♪

♪ Because... ♪
Kate!

Did we not have a deal?

No singing, no crowns,

and most importantly...

Happy birthday!

No happy birthdays.

All right then.

Guess I'll have to keep these for myself.

(lips smack)

(package rattling)

Shoes?

(clapping)

Open, open, open.

Ah-ha

He he.

(playful music)

You have got to be kidding me.

Come on, Jodi, you said

you wanted to get fit.

Last year you made a list,

10 things I want to
achieve by my next birthday

and getting fit was one of them, remember?

All that potential at 21.

What's happened?

I mean, what did I do with my year?

I didn't achieve anything
on that stupid list.

Ow!

Well, maybe you set the bar too high.

You knew marrying a prince
was never gonna be easy.

Yeah?

What about cracking a whip?

I live on a farm,

I didn't even manage that.

Pathetic!

Come on, birthday girl.

I can't!

Come on, you can do it.

Oh, here she comes!

Here you go, happy birthday!

These are for you.

Thank you.

Quick, let her blow out the candles,

I'm starving.

Okay.

What have we got?

"Dear Jodi,

"When I'm rich, these will be diamonds.

"Have a great day.

"Love, Dad."

Ah, that's so pretty.

It's so Dad.

It's lovely.

How do you get them on?

Is it, oh, look, here you go.

Oh, great!

A bill on my birthday.

She loves the shoes.

She looked fabulous.

Yes, I love them.

Oh, my god!

It's a letter from a law firm in Fisher.

I have a $1,000 waiting

for me in a trust fund.

What?

The Princess Fund.

Jack McLeod has left me some money.

Well, the day doesn't suck

quite so much now, doesn't it?

No, it doesn't.

I just have to call their office, and...

Well, look, I can do that for you.

You've got a very big day in front of you.

Thank you, Jack McLeod, wherever you are.

(footsteps stomping)

(phone keypad beeping)

It's only 7:30.

I thought they might get in early,

you know what solicitors are like.

What are you gonna do if there's

a letter in with the money?

Why would there be a letter?

Would Jack just leave a gift like that

without some sort of explanation?

Well, it's only a $1,000.

It's just a token thing, what's to explain?

You know, if there's something
that Jodi needs to know,

it'd be better if she learned it from you

than from a man who's been
dead for the last five years.

(gentle music)
No, there's nothing to know.

Jack was very fond of Jodi,

that's the end of the story.

Hey!

I've invited the boys for 5:00.

Everything else all set?

Ah, yeah,
I've got the beer and the decorations.

Good.
I'm going into town

later to get the cake.

Well, don't worry, Jodi hasn't got a clue.

Good.

Let's keep it that way.

(phone beeping)

I don't wanna do this radio thing.

Young man on the land,
how on earth is that?

So, let Harry do it.

Harry hasn't qualified for young anything

since vinyl records were hot, mate.

Hey, Rob!

Going to Jodi's party tonight?

Nope.

It's free booze.

Party poppers,
chocolate crackles if we're lucky.

Got that muster.

Jeez, it's funny they didn't

ask Rob to be on the radio.

Man never shuts up.

You know, you might just be
on to something there mate.

Since when do you iron your shirts?

Alex, I'm a professional.

I need to look my best.

Come on,
it's that work experience girl, isn't it?

Hey!
Ah, mate,

I don't know what you're talking about.

(iron hisses)

Oh, bugger!

Hello?
(door squeaks)

Hi, oh, sorry!

Your friend told me to come in.

I'm Catriona.

You must be Dave?

No, that's, that's me.

Oh, right.

Catriona, good morning.

Wasn't expecting you quite so early.

Won't be a moment.

(upbeat music)

A thousand bucks.

Geez, Jack must have really liked you.

That's a lot of effort he went to.

You know,
I think sometimes he felt sorry for me

'cause Dad wasn't around much, so.

I do remember this one time though.

There was this big party at Killarney,

and I was wearing this beautiful dress

and the crown that Jack made.

And he shows up in a horse and carriage,

and we go to the party like that,

the King and the Princess.

I felt like the most
important girl in the world.

(Kate laughs)

And if only he could see me now, huh?

Oh, glamorous.

(breaks squealing)

Top of the morning, ladies.

Hey!

Jodi, Kate, I'd like you

to meet my trusty offsider,

Catriona Bradfield.

Hi.

Hi, welcome aboard.

Top 5% of her year at University,

which is obviously why
she had the good sense

to do her workplace
attachment with The Master.

A little bit green, but not to worry.

A few days guzzling at the
Brewer fountain of knowledge,

and she'll be sch-weet.

(Kate giggles)

Well, good luck.
Thanks.

Righto, job's on.

Ooroo.

See ya!

(Jodi sighs)

This is just what I don't need today,

some overachiever to show me up.

Present company excluded, of course.

Of course.

(cow mooing)

This won't hurt a bit, Madonna.

What've we got?

Well, taking into account the weight loss,

I'd say we're looking at primary ketosis.

Which is?

A lack of glucose causing the liver

to manufacture it from fat reserves.

Ketones are the byproduct.

I told you, didn't I, huh?

Not just a pretty face.

Not that that's not a nice bonus.

Oh, and you poor thing,

having to put up with this all week.

Give a bloke a break.

This is the view I normally

have to put up with.

No offense, Madonna.

Looking delightful today, by the way.

Jodi!

Hey, sorry,

I forgot to say happy birthday!

Well, let's go with that first instinct

and keep forgetting about it.

The big 2-2 getting you down?

Quarter life crisis.

I'm going to avoid that one.

Have you got a moment?

Stevie needs a word.

Lead the way.

Back soon.

You have the helm, Ms. Manfredi.

(Kate giggles)

So, you're the manager here?

Me?

Ah, no.

Well, not here,

but I've got an ag science degree, so...

Dave was telling me about

the embryo transplant program.

Oh, yeah, I love that stuff, too.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping

that's why we were here.

Hey, actually, shouldn't you

be waiting for Dave to do that?

It's first semester stuff.

I can do it in my sleep.

(motorcycles revving)

Hey, Alex!

Why don't you do a ring around for me?

Farmer's Council business.

Meeting's not til tomorrow, Harry.

Yeah, bloody Phil Brandon's trying

to overturn my irrigation policy.

He's got some of the
Young Turks on his side.

Just need you to twist a few arms.

Yeah, yeah, I'll see what I can do.

I'm flat out all day though.

Well, make time.

Delegate.

Yeah, I would, but I gotta get

this mob ready for the truck,

and there's also that radio interview.

Nah, forget it.

Thought you said it was important.

Good chance to get the

Killarney brand name out there.

I mean, I can't do everything, Harry.

Hey, Rob.

Ever done a radio interview?

Nope.

Well, start practicing.

Alex'll give you the details.

Oh, I'm sorry, Harry.

I don't really think it's...

I do.

Looks like God has spoken.

(engine roaring)

(gentle music)

Of course I tried to get out of it.

Well, can't you pull some strings

at the radio station for me?

Roger, it's not a local puff piece.

It gets a run across the country,

and they've got their own website.

Yeah, and they want a photo.

Look, I know it can't happen, all right?

Yeah, I'll figure something out.

So, you think it's ketosis?

Yeah, it certainly is.

Now, I've got a couple of different

treatment options we can consider.

Ah, looks like you've

already made up your mind.

Ah, yeah.

Yeah, like I was saying,

a couple of options,

but only one worth pursuing.

Stevie, this is Catriona.

Hi.

Hello.

The IV dextrose will

correct the energy deficiency,

and reduce the production of ketones.

Right boss?

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Well, fair enough.

You're the experts.

See ya.

You better watch out.

You keep me around and

by the end of the week,

you might be redundant.

Or up to my ears in a lawsuit.

I hope you weren't about to

start treatment yourself.

Oh, no, of course not.

But I made the right call,

you said so yourself.

It's not your decision to make.

That's my point, okay?

I can't let you work unsupervised.

If anything goes wrong

it's my backside that gets kicked.

Look at this.

What?

The sheer beauty of my posterior.

I mean, you've gotta admit Catriona,

as far as backsides go,

this bad boy is one worth saving.

(both laugh)

I'm not asking you to put your

brain on hold for the week,

just run it all by me first, okay?

Okay.

Righto.

Let's get back to it then.

I know her type of person,

that's all I'm saying.

She's the class smartypants, all grown up.

I thought she was nice.

That's because she's your type of person,
Kate.

In the real world,
that's who you'd be hanging out with,

not me and my quarter-life crisis.

Jodi, she was being nice.

You're just taking it the wrong way

cause you're feeling sorry for yourself.

You know,
I bet she knows how to crack a whip.

She's probably done a course,

and got in the top 5%.

So, what time where you born?

Why?

Just go with me.

I don't know, late.

11:30 at night I think.

Okay, so you've still got half a day

before you're officially 22.

Half a day to achieve
something on that list

like cracking a whip maybe.

Is there anything else for Jodi

apart from the money?

Like a letter, or...

No, I'm the beneficiary's mother,

so I don't see why you can't tell me that.

Does that mean that I can't

collect the money for her either?

I see.

Well, yes, that's gonna be a
problem because she's overseas.

In London.

Can you at least change the mailing address

so that any further
correspondence comes by me?

Hey, Mum!
Well...

Yes, I'm gonna have to talk to you later.

Thanks, bye.

So?

Was that the solicitor?

Uh-huh.

I'm going into town later,

so I'll pick up Jack's money for you then.

Excellent.

You know, I miss Jack.

He was a nice man.

I was telling Kate about
that party at Killarney

you know, with the horse and carriage.

No, not ringing any bells.

Mum, I was dressed up like a princess.

Jack was the king.

We found the crown,

he'd made it for the party, remember?

Yes, of course I remember the crown.

Look, if I don't get this work done,

there won't be time for me to go into town,

and you want the money, don't you?

Well, it's a bit hard

to go to Surfers Paradise without it,

wouldn't you say?

(lips smack)

(gentle music)

So,

first year, eh?

Mm-hmm.

Any idea where you want to end up yet?

I've been thinking about research.

Research?

What,
you want to be stuck in a lab all day?

You sound like you'd rather kill yourself.

Yeah, by taking my pancreas out

through my nostril with a crochet hook.

(Catriona laughs)

Well, I did a placement with

a biotech company in Melbourne.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, we were working with this guy,
Mike Lewis.

Mikey Lewis.

Little Mikey Lewis.

Oh!

He's been boring my

pants off since first year.

He's a friend of yours?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we propped up this student

bar for about five years.

So, you still see him much?

Oh, yeah, we keep in contact.

He tells me what he's working on,

and I try not to die of boredom.

Research can be pretty exciting.

Oh, yeah!

No, no, no, if that's

what floats your boat.

But, as a practicing rural vet,

I consider it my professional duty to steer

you away from the dark side.

Well, you never know.

This could just be the

week that changes my life.

Oh, Catriona.

You've obviously heard the rumors.

(Catriona laughs)

(upbeat music)

(engine rumbles)

Nice place.

Sheep?

Cattle?

Stud horses.

MacKenzie's have
been at it for generations.

Bloodlines to die for.

Great!

Something to get my teeth into.

(dog panting)

G'day, Coco.

Hey, how are you, girl?

Look at those eyes, eh?

Still knows everything that's going on.

She's had your number from

the second she got here, Bob.

Belonged to my grandkids in the city.

My oldest, he got transferred overseas,

and kiddies asked if I'd take her.

(chuckles)

Most useless mongrel I'd ever seen.

(sighs)

It's time, isn't it?

Well, I won't lie to you, mate.

It'd be cruel to let her go on any longer.

(somber music)

Well, that's that, then.

Want some time to say goodbye?

(dog panting heavily)

So, how long are we going to wait?

Bob knows where to find us.

Do you charge by the hour?

Well, it's not about the money.

But you are running a business though.

You heard the way he talked about her.

Bob's wife passed away
about five years ago.

That little dog's been
his best mate ever since.

Sorry.

I suppose, sometimes you feel like you're

helping the people as
much as their animals.

Part vet, part social worker.

Well, you make that sound like a bad thing.

No, no, it's great.

It's just,

the whole bedside manner thing.

Not something you can
learn from a textbook, is it?

My guess, it's something I need to work on.

Yeah, it is,

if you want to work in the real world,

which you will.

(gentle music)

We're on.

You ready?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

Dave just told me what a
good mate Coco's been.

Yeah, that's right.

Thanks, love.

(dog whining)

(keyboard clacking)

(computer dings)

Bugger.

Stevie?

I'm gonna go in and get the rest

of the things for the party.

Oh, okay.

Did you get on to the lawyers?

Yeah, I'll swing by there

before I pick up the cake.

I know it's a big ask,
but I was just wondering

if maybe I could get an advance on my pay.

Ah, yeah, 50 bucks okay?

200 would be better.

Wow!

Must be some birthday cake.

You know it's not just the party.

I've had some bills come in.

I'm sorry.

I know it's a big ask.

No, no.

No, it's okay,

there should be 200 in the cash box,

so...

go for it.

(engine rumbling)

Harry.

About this interview.

Yeah, it's good publicity shot,
so you'll do it.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm gonna discuss all
our recent achievements,

like sales of the Angus beef going up

10% since I've started here

and how I've overseen

an increased lambing rate.

Yeah, thanks to the lineage

I developed in the first place.

Of course!

And I'll explain how an overseer

is critical to keeping that going.

Trucks will be here shortly.

It's running a bit late, Harry.

Is Brewer here yet?

Put a rocket up him, will ya?

Just make sure you mention the

Ryan name a couple times, okay?

Thought you weren't interested

in doing this interview?

Oh,
now that I've had time to think about it,

I'm pretty keen.

Right.

So, no hard feelings, then?

About what?

Good meeting you, Pete.

All right.

Nice work, partner.

Thanks.

Yeah.

So, how hard am I praying?

Whew!

There's no beatin' around the bush

with you, is there?
No, I just,

if you had to give me
an assessment right now,

what would it be?

Well, I reckon it'd be the best assessment

I've ever given, and the first.

You've never supervised before?

Oh, I know it's hard for me to believe too,
Catriona.

But, clearly, the depth of my knowledge

has been a well-kept secret.

Well, I think you're doing a great job.

Definitely high distinction material.

You wouldn't be trying to influence

my decision now would you?

Should I be?

Well...

Relax.

You're blitzing it.

Let's do it.

(upbeat music)

(horse whinnies)

Break open the champagne,

here comes the birthday girl.

Happy birthday!

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Have you come fishing for presents?

I'm not that deluded, Alex.

But, if you were to show

me how to crack this
whip I'll let you off the hook.

You're a woman now,
thought that'd come naturally.

Oh!

You just gotta flick your

wrist and practice, Jodes.

There's no magic formula.

Happy birthday.

Oh, hey, one more thing!

Was there a party or something
here about 17 years ago?

Me and Jack McLeod
arrived in a horse and carriage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the housewarming.

Harry and Liz rebuilt the castle.

You remember?

Yeah, you turned up as a princess.

Hard to forget.

Do you have any photos or anything,

cause I really want to show Mum?

Yeah, I've got some back at the house,

I'll get em for ya.
Great!

Flick your wrist, remember?

Flick your wrist.

Okay.

Wrong hand.

You're thinking about it too much.

I'm better without an audience actually.

Here.

Firm handshake grip.

Arm straight.

Straight back and...

(whip cracking).

Did you hear that?

I cracked it!

I cracked it!

Yeah, you did.

(gentle music)

Thank you.

No problem.

Can I open it?
Go ahead.

What do you think?

Oh, that's nice, Meg.
Yeah.

Chocolate, I mean, it's her favorite.

Yeah, she's gonna love that.
Oh, quick, pop it...

Oh, oh, oh, quick!

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Oh, hi.

You'll never guess what.

It is now official.

I can crack a whip.

There are witnesses.

Well, Rob did help me,

but that's beside the point.

I did it.

Me.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

You know, there's still
plenty of time left in the day.

I reckon I can knock some
more things off that list.

Well, if I see a prince,
I will send him your way.

This is for you.

Oh, wow!

So that's what $1,000 looks like.

I thought it would be a check.

I cashed it while I was in town.

I wonder what surprises
Jack's got for your next birthday.

This could be an annual thing.

I know,
I'm gonna have to get onto Dad about this.

He has been seriously
one-upped in the gift department.

(tense music)

Jodi?

I'd prefer you didn't speak

like that about your father.

I know it's just a little necklace,

but he's making an effort,

and that's gotta count for something.

Mum, we always laugh about Dad's presents.

It doesn't mean I don't appreciate them.

People who have money,

it's not hard for them to give it away.

I just don't want you
to belittle your father

because he can't give you $1,000.

Why are you making
such a big deal about this?

Kevin's made mistakes,
but he's still your father,

and he deserves your respect, that's all.

(scoffing)

Harry?

About this interview.

It seems to me like it might be

more about the local politics.

Phil Brandon might be part of it?

I've got it under control.

Look, whatever Brandon argues,

you just say the opposite, all right?

Working on a different time zone are we,
Brewer?

Yeah, sorry, Harry.

Got held up at another job.

Well I hope they're
paying you the big bucks,

cause I sure as hell won't be if we

don't get them to the abattoir on time.

They're fussy, mate.

They want a full vet inspection.

Truck will be here in an hour.

We'll get it done.

I've got a very capable pair

of extra hands on board today.

Catriona Bradfield...
So what are you waiting for,

a written invitation?

Righto, job's on.

Now, what are we looking for here?

Check for lameness and

any grass seeds in the skin.

Yep, you got it.

Oh, and one other thing to
look out for is dermatophilosis.

It's really easy to miss the early stages.

A bacterial infection, dermatitis.

Symptoms include hardening on the

surface of the wool and lumpiness.

I might as well go home.

Righto, boys, let's get 'em in the race.

So, Dave.

How do you feel about
writing me a reference?

For your assessment?

Getting a job.

I know it's only day one,

but I figure there's no harm in asking.

Well, you don't ask, you don't get.

And, if I bring it up now,

then you've got plenty of time to tell me

what I need to do to impress you.

Well, number one on that list

is help me get this done on time.

If you can help keep
Harry Ryan off my back,

I'll give you the best recommendation

that's ever been written.

We'll get it done, no sweat.

Righto, let's do it.

(upbeat music)

Jodi seemed happy to get the money.

Of course, it's a nice present.

So there was no little letter from Jack?

No birthday card?

No, nothing, I suppose he thought he'd

be here to say happy birthday himself.

Yeah, sure.

And answer questions.

She will ask questions, you know.

She's gonna wanna know what's going on.

I don't think so.

Once they get the hint, Meg,

she'll just keep on digging

and it doesn't matter how much we try

and cover these things up...

Look, there's nothing to cover up.

There's nothing going on,

it's just one birthday present.

(tense music)

Okay.

(dramatic music)

Hey, Brewer!

What's the holdup?

Keep 'em coming through.

We're cutting it very fine here,
keep going.

Oh, no!

What's going on?

The truck's here,
you're nowhere near ready.

No, we're almost there, mate.

10 minutes, we're almost done.

If this sale doesn't go through...

Don't worry, Harry.

It's going through, we're gonna get it done

(conversation drowned out by music).

Yeah, well, it'll come out of your pocket.

(conversation drowned out by music)

(sheep cries)

We all right to go?

Good as gold.

Just don't stuff me around.

Wouldn't do it to ya.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah,
when Harry threatens to sue you for costs,

it's just his way of showing affection.

The man loves me.

Well, you're getting the hang of this.

Thanks.

Righto, keep 'em coming.

Thanks for this, Alex.

No worries.

We'll see you around five?

Yeah, wouldn't miss it for the world, Meg.

Oh, listen, I almost forgot.

Jodi was asking after these.

Yeah, that's that big
housewarming party Mum put on.

Jodi said you couldn't remember.

Oh, no, I just...

How could I forget?

Yeah.

Look at her.

She lived up to her name that day,
didn't she?

Look at the both of them.

It's like the blinking royal family.

See ya around.

(gentle music)

Come on, boy.

H'yah!

Come on!

Let's get 'em up there mate, come on.

He, he, ha.

I knew we'd make it in time.

Couldn't have done it without ya.

Hang on.

This is what I was talking about,
dermatophilosis.

Feel the warmth.

Beating you to the punch.

Sorry,
there was another one I already treated.

What?

I gave penicillin.

Way ahead of you on this one.

All right, where is she now?

What do you mean?

Well, you separated her out, didn't ya?

Why?

She's treated.

She's ready for the sale yard.

This mob's going straight to the abattoir.

What,
do you not know that there's a minimum

21-day holding period
after penicillin treatment?

They can't be sold for slaughter.

I loaded her onto the truck.

I'm so sorry.

What'd the hell did I tell ya?

Hey, Nat,
we're gonna have to unload those sheep!

Just one, right?

We're talking about one sheep.

Pete!

Pete, we gotta unload them all again, mate!

(dramatic music)

I'll jump up in the truck, you've got the

(conversation fades out)

Can't we just let it go?

H'yah, come on, boy!

We're not gonna make it, are we?

No, not if we stand
around here talking all day.

Hey, Mum.

You know, I've been thinking.

I wanna ditch the holiday to Surfers

and put my money in a term deposit.

I think Jack would have wanted me

to do something sensible with the money,
so.

Well, it's your money.

If you wanna spend it on a holiday,
you should.

Or a good stereo, or some new clothes.

Okay, now I definitely
know you're losing your mind.

And that party at Killarney,

with Jack and the horse and the carriage,

you had no idea what I was talking about,

but Alex remembers.

Really?

Good for Alex.

(dramatic music)

Hey, Brewer,

what the hell is going on?

Here we go.

One of the sheep's been

treated with penicillin.

Yeah, so?

She got mixed up with the rest of the mob.

You idiot, you stuffed up.

Yeah, I know.

We're trying to find her as
fast as we can Harry, I'm sorry.

We should have been on
the road 15 minutes ago.

If this sale is scrapped, I'll make sure

everyone within 200 miles hears about it.

You rush through,
this is only gonna take longer.

If you keep watching
every little move I make,

it's only gonna make me nervous.

Well, do you blame me?

Mum is acting really weird.

Way beyond the usual

mother job description.

I said I wanted to do something

sensible with Jack's money.

Now who's acting weird?

And she reckons I should just blow it all.

I could shout the entire Gungellan pub,

and she would not care.

Well, it's your birthday.

She's humoring you.

And she's defending Dad
like he's Father of the Year.

She's never had anything
nice to say about him before.

And that party at Killarney,
she doesn't remember it.

It's like she's blocking it out.

Well, your mum's got a
lot on her plate right now.

She's busy.

It isn't busy-weird, Kate.

It's weird-weird.

I've had it.

I'm gonna go have it out with her.

Oh, no, wait!

There is something.

The reason why Meg is acting so weird

is because she's throwing
you a surprise birthday party.

Really?

Oh, wow, guys, thank you!

What are you gonna do, like jump out of

cupboards and have
streamers and everything?

Yeah, whatever you want.

Just don't tell Meg that we told you.

Okay.

Act surprised.

All right.

Okay, now, go make yourself scarce.

I've gotta put the
balloons and streamers up.

Oh, nice one.

Okay, okay.

Stevie!

Why'd you have to blow it?

She would never have guessed.

It's better this way.

It's gonna be so dumb now.

(tense music)

Meg!

Meg.

I hate to say it,

but I'm already in damage control.

I had to tell Jodi about the party.

You what?

Well, she was asking questions,

and you're a mess,

and pretty soon she's gonna start

digging stuff up about Jack McLeod, so I...

She can dig all she likes,

she won't find anything.

Right.

(dramatic music)

H'yah, h'yah!

I've got her, I've got her!

This is her.

Catriona, you swear there was only sheep?

I said that, didn't I?

So we're back on the road, guys?

Yes, mate, good to go.

Come on.
Come on,

let's get this mob back on board.

Brewer, pray for a miracle.

H'yah, h'yah!

H'yah, h'yah!

(phone ringing)

Drovers Run, Kate speaking.

No, I'm sorry, she's busy at the moment.

Sorry, shouldn't I just tell this to Jodi?

Are you sure?

(engine rumbling)

Now, Jodes,

no more whip stuff, all right?

And if you're here to ask for my spurs...

I'm here to get out of the way.

They're setting up for my party.

How do you know about that?

Oh, please, I've been onto it for ages,

but I'm gonna act surprised for Mum's sake.

Righto.

Hey, listen, get those photos?

No.

I dropped 'em off a few hours back.

The ones of you and Jack at the party.

Well, she didn't say a thing.

Well, they're there.

They're very cute.

Forewarned is forearmed.

I mean, actually, he's got some good ideas

on border allocation.
Hang on, hang on.

You say anything like that on air,
I'll kill you.

You don't have to worry, Harry.

I know I'm speaking for the Ryan's,

and if anyone reckons the
Ryan's are running for cover,

I'll pull 'em up on it.

Running for cover?

Brandon say that?

(scoffs) Give me a break.

Look, the Ryan's don't run from anyone.

Actually, Alex,
I want you to do the interview.

Just a moment.

Please, I can do it, Harry.

What happened to delegating?

I am delegating to you.

You think you're pretty clever, don't ya?

God has spoken.

(water trickling)

So, we'll see you tomorrow.

Fresh start, eh?

I'm going to prove to you
that I'm worth the effort.

I've got four more days
to justify that reference.

(laughs) You're like a dog with a bone.

I like a challenge.

Well, first things first, eh?

Sorry?

Catriona,
let's just get through the week, all right?

Your placement week is about learning,

not about getting a job reference.

If it was about learning,
I wouldn't have come here.

(gentle music)

But you wanted to come here.

I mean, you asked for me especially, right?

Because you can give
me the reference I need

to show Mike Lewis.

Oh, right, so this was all an act, was it?

Is that so wrong?

Where do I start?

You do what you can to get the right job.

It's all part of the game.

All right.

Well, I'll give you a fair assessment,

but you can...

don't expect a job reference.

In that case,
there's no point in me coming back.

Oh, what, you're quitting now?

I can't waste my time here.

Okay.

Good luck.

I won't need your good luck.

So, Mum has the photos,

but she still reckons the party

with me and Jack never happened.

Hey!

What do you reckon?

Too much?

Considering you're not meant

to know there's a party...

Yeah.

Oh!

Maybe the photo's are part of my surprise.

Or maybe you were right
about her losing her mind.

There was a call from the solicitors,

the ones with the money.

They don't want it back?

No, no, they want you to call 'em,

but the weird thing is,
they thought you were in London.

Why?

Apparently, you're overseas,

'cause that's what your mum told them.

(party noises drown out
interviewer speaking on radio)

It's on, it's on.

Kate! It's on.

[Radio Interviewer] Alex,
you're in your 30s,

you manage a large property,

what advice would you
give to school leavers

considering a career on the land?

Career on the land...

Oh, it's gonna be a car crash.

Advice...

Well...

Yeah, well,
it's a bit like any job, you know.

You work like a pig,
don't make too many enemies,

keep your nose clean.

(Stevie scoffs)

Oh, you've gotta get a good hat.

No,
I can't listen even if it means I miss out

on paying him out for the rest of his life.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Not late, am I?

No, bang on time.

So you managed to give your number

one fan the slip then?

Catriona would be well on her way

back to the city by now I'd reckon.

Oh, I thought she was here for the week.

Yeah, didn't really work out.

Oh, the old Brewer charm.

Working a treat again, obviously.

(laughs)

Okay, well, we're ready to roll.

Where is she?

(windmill clacking)

Um, yeah.

Yeah, well, I know.

Hang on.

I just think there's been
a misunderstanding.

Yeah.

I've already got the money.

Well, hang on,
bad reception, hang on, wait.

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, a $1,000.

Well my mum came and
picked it up this morning.

What?

I'm sorry, what?

(tense music)

She's coming.

She's coming, go, go, go, quick!

Hurry up, get inside!

(crowd shushing each other)

Surprise!

(crowd cheering)

Why did Jack McLeod leave me a $100,000?

(dramatic music)

What?

One hundred thousand dollars!

Why?

No, he didn't.

Yes, Mum, he did.

There was a mistake in the letter.

The solicitors called.

They wanna know when
I'm coming in to pick it up.

But I guess that'll be when
I get back from London.

Why didn't you want me to
see the photos of Jack and me?

Why did Jack McLeod pay for
my schooling all these years?

Mum,
why did Jack McLeod leave me so much money?

Because he thought he was your father.

Was he?

No.

I don't know.

(somber music)

(Meg gasps)

Meg.

Jodi!

Jodi.

Jodi, at least let me explain.

It's not necessary, Mum.

I get it, I totally get it.

No.
Get away!

Get away!

Let me explain.

Jodi!

No!

Jodi!

Jodi!

Jodi!

(sobbing)

(horse whinnies)

(somber music)

Meg.

Let's get you inside, huh?

Come on, up you get.

Good day.

What are you doing here?

You okay?

(Jodi crying)

What's going on?

I don't know what's going on.

I don't even know who I am anymore.
