Previously on McCloed's Daughters.

Mom,
why did Jack McLoed leave me so much money?

Because he thought he was your father.

Was he?

No!

I don't know.

You used me.

My own mother used me.

No Jodi, I didn't.

Then stop the bloody book right now.

Mom left a few hours ago.

There's no way she's gone,
I had to contact her.

Well, she left because of me.

I forced her to go.

He sat me down and
he offered me a job Alex.

Just like that?

Great money.

Fantastic career opportunity.

It's almost perfect Alex.

Almost?

It would mean leaving Drovers for a while.

Drive back on weekends, can't ya?

It's in Argentina.

Well I knew something
terrible was gonna happen,

I just didn't know what.

Well Terry did say you had a vision.

(phone rings)

Harry Ryan.

Hello?

Nick!

Yeah, good, good.

How're those Argentines treating ya?

You what?

You're coming home?

Tess, Nick's coming home,
he'll be here next week.

(upbeat music)

Hey.

I thought you were supposed
to do this with old oak trees.

Well in case you haven't noticed,

we've got more gum than oak.

It's our way of welcoming Tess home.

Well I think she'll be stoked.

(car honks)

Ah, there they are.

Hi!
Hi!

(Tess laughs)

Ah, wow!

Only at Drovers.

Are they the special IVF cows?

Yeah,
all pregnant and worth a small fortune.

Oh, Stevie's done a great job.

Well I reckon she'll be
glad to have you back.

Yeah.

Really missed this place.

(upbeat music)

It is so good to see you!

Oh you too, trip okay?

Yeah the trip was great,

it's the jet lag that's killing me.

Hey stranger.

Hi!

Buenos días, señora.

Aw, I love the welcome.

The mob looks fantastic.

When does Nick get in?

Soon,
he just had to tie up a few loose ends

at one of the ranches.

I bet you there's no word
in Spanish for workaholic.

Well right now, he'll be on a light plane

to Buenos Aires,
and he'll be here by tomorrow afternoon.

Whoa, gee!

When you'd pack half of Argentina?

Tess, you all right?

Ah, yeah, my body still thinks

its four o'clock in the morning.

I'm fine really.

Okay, let's get you inside.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tess!

I think she's fainted.

Get her some water.

(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 ♪

♪ 'Cuz I'll be there ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ You're not alone ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ 'Cuz I'll be there ♪

Drink, you can get
dehydrated on those long flights.

It's nothing, I'm just jet-lagged.

Nice homecoming Tess.

Give your mates a heart attack.

My body is still in Buenos Aires.

It's the middle of the night there.

12 and a half hours behind.

Aw, you've got Nick's watch, that sweet.

Yeah.

(grunts) This had
better be full of presents.

Ask and ye shall receive.

After you've had a rest.

Hey Tess, those bites look nasty.

You've been taking
your malaria tablets right?

I don't have malaria Kate.

No, no, you don't know,

because I went to Uni with this guy,

he went to South America
on a student exchange,

and when he came back he had malaria,

and three different types
of exotic internal parasite.

Kate.

Well, one of the worms had this...

Kate.

Yuck.

Sorry.

No you're right, it's just jet lag.

Righto.

Well, I better get cracking.

Are you sure you're gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'll see you later for a drink.

Come on Kate.

Jod, where's Meg, I'd love to see her.

Oh, she's just gone away for a while.

I think her and Terry
are taking some time out.

Right, is it serious?

No, they'll work it out.

Go on, open it.

Lot of work.

Sure we need to do all this?

Well Nick reckons we do.

And he's got a million pages

of diagrams and calculations to prove it.

Well we could wait til he gets back.

He can give us a hand.

Yeah, well see,

last time we spoke,
I kinda gave him the impression

it was already done.

Ah, an intercontinental porky.

Yeah.

The worst kind.

Very funny.

What's going on?

Building a Olympic swimming pool Harry.

New irrigation system, mate.

What's wrong with the old one?

Oh, climate change, osmosis,
degree of inclination.

That's a lot of bloody nonsense.

Well tell Nick, it's his idea.

All right.

Get on with it then.

Hey Rob.

Need you and Nat to set up the spit roast

for tomorrow night.

How many you expecting?

Ah, about 30.

Rhonda's got the list.

Righto.

It's a bit OTT isn't it Harry?

It's your brother's homecoming.

If that's not worth making a fuss about,
what is?

You know Rob, you're right mate.

It's a lot of hard work.

Argentina's loss is our gain.

To Tess.

Wow what a welcome, thank you.

Well you wait to see
what Harry's got organized

for Nick's homecoming tomorrow.

So do we get a speech or what?

Oh ignore him.

Actually there is
something I wanted to say.

First of all I want to thank you girls

for taking such good care
of Drovers while I was away.

You've done an incredible job.

Well we've had our moments.

The IVF cows for starters.

That contract's certainly
going to put us on the map.

Here here.

Which makes it easier for me,

knowing that Drovers
is so well looked after.

Yeah, well that's easier

when you know it's only temporary.

That's the other thing.

I might be asking you to do it all again.

Sorry?

Nick's been offered another contract

to manage one of the
largest ranches in Argentina.

Well how long for?

Three years, maybe more,

but we didn't want to make a decision

until we talked to all
of you about it first.

Well this ranch must be
something pretty special.

Nowhere in the world compares to Drovers,

but this offer,
it's an incredible opportunity

for Nick, and the money they're talking,

well we could certainly do
with some of that around here.

Sounds like you already made up your mind.

I can't imagine being away
from Drovers for that long,

but I can't stand in Nick's way either.

I guess I just need a sign really,
one way or another,

a push to tell me which way to jump.

How's she going?

Tess is talking it through with Alex,

she wasn't meant to say
anything until Nick got back.

I'm glad she blabbed.

Well it gives us time to
come up with a sign for Tess.

How about a huge arrow pointing at Drovers

burned into the crops.

What crops, we're a cattle station?

Burned into the cattle?

You guys, it's obvious.

Jodi's a sign.

How do you figure that?

Well Jodi's probably her sister,

and when she tells Tess,
she won't wanna go.

You hope.

No look, I don't wanna tell her,

I don't wanna say
anything until I'm 100% sure.

Yeah, Jodi's right.

You can't call a sign on
the strength of a maybe.

D-N-A.

Deoxyribonucleic acid.

A DNA test can prove who your father is.

Well how am I gonna do
that around here Dave?

I'm gonna have to go to the city.

Oh, not necessarily.

Well there's plenty of labs that can do it.

All they need is a sample
of the father and child's DNA.

Well that's impossible.

Jack's dead.

Nice idea Dave.

It's elementary my dear Jodi.

DNA can last outside of the body for years.

There might be something in his belongings.

A hair, or sweat in his work clothes,

or if he's been to the hospital
in the past seven years,

they might have kept a tissue sample.

I don't remember Jack even having a cold,

let alone an operation.

Meg might know something.

Yeah, and if I knew where she was

and how to find her, then I would.

Thursday, May 28th, went to cattle sales,

Friday 29th, ordered feed.

We might be hear a while.

Yeah.

I'll leave you to it.

This Sherlock Holmes
stuff is for the birds.

(somber music)

Got something here.

Addressed to Tess Silverman,
marked Return to Sender.

Jack sent them.

Birthday's, Christmas.

Mom sent them all back.

So she never knew that he wrote to her.

No.

Not until she came to Drovers.

She never knew her father either.

I kinda feel bad going through her stuff.

It doesn't matter anyway Kate,

it's not like we're gonna
find anything useful here.

What are you using that old pump for?

Oh, so now you want me to spend money,
do you?

Don't reckon Nick would
expect a unit like that.

Well, Nick'll hardly be around to see it.

Ay?

They didn't tell you either?

Well come on, spit it out.

He's been offered another job in Argentina.

Long term.

Is he serious about it?

Well I reckon if Tess gives him the nod,

he'll sign up in a flash, yeah.

Harry, don't go getting involved.

Right, he'll be in at four o'clock.

Make sure that irrigation
system's finished by then.

(somber music)

You know,
if we can't find any of Jack's DNA,

I'm going to have to pretend
none of this ever happened.

There's stacks of these boxes down there,

we'll find something.

Bingo, x-ray.

Well it's definitely Jacks,
he had his appendix out.

Ah, wait, 17 years ago.

Dave reckons they didn't
take tissue samples back then.

Great.

Guys, we got a problem.

Oh!

How can she be dead,
they were fine yesterday?

There's two of 'em down so far.

We'll have to get the
rest of 'em into the yards.

Dave's on his way.

Blood's brown.

Starved of oxygen.

What, so it could be poisoning?

Probably nitrite poisoning.

Plants suck up nitrite from the soil,

and when you've had heavy
rains after a long dry spell,

messes with their hemoglobin.

That would be the rain
that we had last week.

Well is there an antidote?

Well, it depends how much they've eaten.

It's just the two fatalities right?

Yeah, but there's at least six

in the yards that look dodgy.

This is all my fault.

It was my stupid idea to put them in here.

No, you weren't to know.

Well, we could lose the IVF contract,
couldn't we?

Welcome home Tess.

(somber music)

Go on!

These ones don't look too bad.

We'll have to treat the lot.

Even if they get over the acute phase,

that's not the end of it.

They can have spontaneous abortions

about 10 days after exposure.

Oh, it just keeps getting better.

I should tell Tess, take the blame.

Stop playing the martyr will ya?

It's not your fault.

Well what if she walks
up here and sees all this?

Make sure you kick the
hay right up to 'em ladies.

Good feed's the best
thing for 'em right now.

We should find her.

I'll find Tess and let her know.

I think I should do it

No Jod, you'll grovel.

Not a good look.

Morning!

Hey!

I was just coming to find you.

Small problem.

What's happened?

We've lost a couple of the IVF cows,
nitrite poisoning.

Oh, is Dave coming?

Oh yeah, he's here already.

The others look okay, but Tess?

It's all right, I'm just dizzy again.

Well you look pale.

Maybe you should still be in bed?

No, it's probably just my stomach.

There was this disgusting chicken
and mushroom on the plane.

Tess.

What's all this nonsense about you and Nick

staying in Argentina?

Oh, I've missed you too Harry.

It's a stupid idea.

Harry, now's not a good time.

Well what're you gonna
do about Drovers for a start?

You can leave the inmates
in charge of the asylum.

If we could just talk about this later.

Well there's nothing to talk about.

Just tell Nick it's not happening.

No it's just,
it's not hardly that simple...

Tess!

What's wrong?

You for starters!

Go and get the others, they're in the yard.

This isn't necessary,
it's just an upset tummy.

Sorry Tess, international flight,
sick within 48 hours,

you need to get checked out.

Look, it's a lot of fuss over nothing.

Okay, her passport and travel itinerary

for the last month, and that's

the malaria tablet she was on.

And make sure the doctor's
know you were at a farm

before you left Argentina.

Yeah, check for dengue fever and cholera.

Well if Nick rings,
tell him I'm fine, okay?

Yeah we will.

Call us when you hear anything.

Harry, I'm sorry I snapped at you.

If you do speak to Nick,
tell him to give me a call.

He's all heart.

You know we should be with her.

Stevie's with Tess, she knows we care.

It's probably just a run-of-the-mill virus,

or mild food poisoning,

but let me know when you hear anything,
okay?

Sure.

Now, I've given methylene blue injections

to all the cows,
so you need to keep their feed up

to dilute any toxins in their gut,
all right?

Yeah, we're onto it.

Thanks Dave.

Good night.

Poor Tess.

She's crook, her life is on two continents,

and now I've tried to kill her livestock.

Jodi, stop being so hard on yourself.

This'll all work out.

Hey.

This was Jack's.

Hey, hey, hey.

Say's DNA to me.

But it's in perfect condition.

Yeah I know, I just thought that maybe...

No it's okay, I know it's not your fault.

Thank you anyway.

Bye.

They can't tell from the hair.

Not unless it has skin or saliva on it.

But it's Jack's hair, it has to be his DNA.

I know, they had some sort
of long scientific explanation.

Okay, okay, it's not a problem,

we just have to find another source of DNA,
that's all.

Any ideas?

(somber music)

What happened, what'd they say?

Well they ran a heap of tests.

I've never seen so many needles.

And?

And it took them a while to narrow it down.

Okay,
just tell me it's simple food poisoning.

Actually it's much more serious,

it's a chronic long-term condition

and I'm gonna have to make
some major lifestyle changes.

Okay, well.

I'm gonna be a mom.

(screams)

Really?

(laughs)

Really?

Yeah!

Aw, Tess.

Yes!

It's real!

I know.

So can you tell from this
how many weeks I am?

One of the miracles of modern science.

Well you must have some idea?

Well it wasn't exactly planned,

I mean Nick and I talked about it,

but we didn't think it'd happen so soon.

All right, so you're just practicing.

Well, in serious training.

I just wish he was here
right now to see this.

I know.

Your first baby photos.

Something pretty special.

You still got yours?

I didn't even have an ultrasound with Rose.

I didn't see a doctor until
I was five months gone,

I wasn't thinking too straight back then.

Now I'm just gonna
press this into your belly.

Okay.

(Stevie gasps)

(laughs)

Is that my baby?

It sure is.

Oh, you can see it's head.

Oh wow, I can't believe it.

Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?

It's a bit early for that.

Do you really want to know?

No,
at least not until my husband's with me.

Oh, I can't tell if it looks
more like you or Nick.

Well, everything looks perfect from here.

Wow, how old?

I'd say about 12 weeks.

Whoa, how did I miss that?

It happens a lot.

The body can play all sorts of tricks.

Well, can we get some photos?

Well even better, I'll do you a video.

Hello my beautiful baby.

You know I always wanted to have a baby,

but part of me always wondered
if it'd ever really happen.

So you and Nick okay with
the whole cardiomyopathy thing?

Well sometimes you just
have to trust in the universe,

its a 50/50 chance,
and by the time the baby grows up,

who knows?

Hold on.

Hello gorgeous, it's me,
I've got some news,

some very big news,
so call me when you get to Sydney.

Oh, concise, but cruel.

You see the thing is,
we're gonna have a baby!

I'm 12 weeks pregnant
and I've got the ultrasound

to show you later tonight,
and I love you so much,

and you are just gonna
make the perfect dad,

and I really, really, really love you,

and I can't wait to see you, okay, bye!

(laughs)

Just about covers it.

Do you think I should call the girls?

Oh my God!

Congratulations!

You're gonna be a mom!

I know, I'm gonna be a mom!

How far along?

I'm 12 weeks now, and I think 40,

so yeah, we're a way to go.

Boy or girl, boy or girl?

Oh, you can't tell yet.

Did you think of any names yet?

No, no, give me a chance.

Oh, I know, Angeline for a girl,
Thomas for a boy.

No.

Actually no,
I'm gonna save them for my kids.

You knew and you didn't tell us!

Oh look, I'm just glad you don't have Ebola

or something else from Kate's list.

Well I'm just worried
what I've eaten and drunk

for the past three months.

Don't you worry about it,

I burnt the candle at both
ends when I was pregnant,

and Rose turned out okay.

Yeah, but we had quite a few

going away parties over there.

That's OJ, organic, you'll be fine.

Cheers!

Hey, isn't that dad's?

Yeah it is.

Well actually we, well it's nothing,

we found it in the machinery shed,
and um...

Actually it's, it's an Italian custom,

you get something of the grandfather's

and you rub it on your belly,

and it's meant to make your
baby grow wise and strong.

Oh, right.

But you only just found out I was pregnant.

Yes.

I know.

Actually this is going
to sound really weird,

but last night, I had this dream.

You were dressed as the Madonna

and you had a baby in your arms.

You dreamt I was the Virgin Mary?

Yes, see I told you it was weird.

So you know, well Jodi and I thought,

just in case we'd get something.

Well I'll give it a go.

You wanna find Meg and let her know too.

Sure, I'll just look for the number.

Let me look at this bag.

Oh it might be a bit big.

I remember the JM on it.

Aw Tess, I can't believe you're pregnant.

You're gonna be a mommy!

She's all done Rob, and for half the price.

You know you could've irrigated the Sahara

with the pipes Nick wanted, fair dinkum?

You check the pressure grading on these?

Yeah, they'll do mate.

What's he got now?

I'll finish up here.

Righto.

Well, what do you think?

It's a Murray Grey.

We don't run that breed,
in case you hadn't noticed.

Come on, Nick's been at
me for years to get into Greys.

Harry, it's one bull.

Nick's got hundreds
of stud bulls to play with

over in Argentina.

You're always so bloody negative.

Give him a chance to build his empire here,

not the other side of the world.

Good luck to ya.

He's making an effort.

Cut him some slack.

You reckon it'll work?

If Nick stays, it'll be in spite of Harry,

not because of him.

Righto, let's give this thing a go.

(motor runs)

Very nice.

Not bad at all.

We saved money on the pipes,

we blow it all on Nick's bull.

Yeah.

Well you never know,
he might be so impressed

he can't drag himself away.

Righto, I've had it.

Let's go do some real work.

(upbeat music)

Wow.

Instant family huh?

You become a sister and and aunt.

Yeah,
but I don't know for sure that I am yet,

so I don't wanna start
thinking about how weird it is

until I do know.

Hey!

How're the cows?

Improving.

In fact, I've done a report
for you on the fatalities.

Any luck with the DNA tests?

No, but you know it looks
like we might have more time

to work this out now.

Yeah,
it's not like Tess will be heading back

to Argentina anymore is it?

Righty-o, here we go.

Aw no, don't worry about sealing it,

I'll only open it again.

Oh sorry, force of habit.

It's a lot to taste,
that glue's got just a hint

of peppermint in it.

Dave, you are a genius!

I am?

I mean, I am.

Well he had to lick the
stamps and the seal,

so there must be traces of saliva on them,

and the lady from the
lab said we could use them

to find his DNA.

Yeah right, it's worth a try.

Where did I put those letters?

Top drawer?

Just need one envelope.

Guess this'll prove it either way.

(cows moo)

Did you hear the news?

I'm gonna be an uncle.

Well, an honorary uncle.

Congratulations.

And you.

Nick must be absolutely over the moon.

Oh he will be when he finds out.

Just don't blow it if
you see him before I do.

No, mum's the word.

That's a terrible joke.

Good call Dave!

These are all doing fine.

Yep, got out comfortable eh?

I'll leave you to it.

Righto.

You oughtta give the stud a
call when you get a chance,

just to keep them informed.

Oh, well you don't want to talk to them?

No it's better they deal
with the one person.

Oh, I thought you'd be
dealing with that sort of stuff

now that you're back?

(somber music)

Tess,
you're not still planning on going back

to Argentina, are you?

I don't know what's happening anymore,

at least not until I talk to Nick.

But I just thought with the baby...

Well me having a baby
doesn't have to change things.

But you really want to bring a child up

in a different country?

We can still raise a family in Argentina.

Nick'll be busy with his farm business,

and I can be a full-time mom.

Yeah, but you'll have no doting aunts.

Well it's only for a few years,

and Drovers will always be our home, so...

Bloody hell.

Hate to say it mate, it's the pipes.

Couldn't handle the pressure.

(motor sputters)

This is so bloody typical!

You know,
Nick comes up with some stupid plan,

then goes gallivanting off,

while I'm here to pick up the pieces.

It'd make a good rice paddy.

Had a gutful of this.

If he wants it, he can fix it himself.

Good news, finally.

You got through to the lab?

Yep, and this is gold.

That is a relief,

do you know how many lies I've told today?

Eight.

I thought it was only seven.

Yeah, and you also said
these colors look good together.

The only trouble is it's
gonna take a couple of weeks

to get the results.

Well we'll just have to stop Tess and Nick

from making any big decisions til then.

Could mean more lies.

It's a noble cause.

Look, Tess is nesting, it's a good sign.

Come on.

The boys have got the spit prepared,

and they're just putting
out the marquee now.

Well Harry's probably
organized a 21-gun salute.

Yeah,
if I'd just traveled from South America,

I'd be wanting a long sleep,
not a big party.

Serves him right for racking off.

The irrigation system.

It's not Nick's fault mate.

He had all the right specs,
that's all I'm saying.

You sure Harry's spirit hasn't mysteriously

entered your body, mate?

Look, I could always pop into town,
pick up a bigger pipe,

and I reckon you can fix
that pump with your eyes shut,

and if we get onto it now,
we might have it finished

by the time Nick gets over his jet lag.

No, no way!

Nick's gonna help us re-lay those pipes.

I tell you what,
I'll even let him boss us around.

Then he'll really feel at home.

Okay, so what goes where?

These four can go in the shed.

And what about the stuff in the shed.

Toss it.

You know Drovers is a
great place to bring up a kid.

Australia's a great place...

Stevie.

Okay, I won't go on about it, much.

Who knows what we'll do now?

I don't know what Nick thinks.

I don't believe this,
he should be in Sydney already.

Yeah,
well he's probably still stuck in customs.

How much stuff did you
have him bringing back?

Oh, just a little, some silver goblets,
and handcrafts.

Whoa, wooden?

Yeah.

Uh-uh, big no-no.

Borers, all kinds of pests.

They're probably giving
Nick the third degree.

You know Tess, I loved growing up here,

(phone rings)

playing with lambs and chickens,

but I just really wish I
had aunties to spoil me.

Like you guys.

Yes!

Hello, Drovers Run.

Hello?

Yes, yes this is Tess.

Nadia?

No there has to be some mistake.

Yeah, Nick left for Australia
more than 16 hours ago.

Yes near Empedrado.

No I haven't heard from him.

Yeah, are you sure,
the phones are pretty bad up there.

Please, as soon as you hear anything.

(phone beeps)

That was Nick's office,

his plane took off from Empedrado,

but it never made it to Buenos Aires.

Sometimes if there's a bad
storm they'll put the plane down,

but, well they shoulda called in by now.

Are they searching?

It's the middle of the night they said,

they'd start searching
in about three hours.

Nothing's gonna happen to Nick.

It's gonna be fine.

I don't care if parliament's in session,

my son is missing.

Tell him it's Harry Ryan,

as in the Gungellan Ryans.

Look, I'm a party donor,
and I pay taxes, so just...

Yeah, right.

When he gets out, please.

Bloody people,
it's like talking to concrete!

Try the defense department,
they got their own networks.

Leave it now, it's late.

How can I leave it when
I know Nick's out there?

There's a chance he's
just waiting out the storm.

Yeah, you're right.

That'll be it for sure.

So this is where he was up here,

it's a giant wetland,
it's about the size of Tasmania,

it's very remote and if a storm blows up,

then they just have to land anywhere.

That's a long way from Buenos Aires.

Yeah about 700 ks,
same as Sydney to Melbourne.

The phone lines in those
places are pretty bad,

and if their radio went out then...

Well, my uncle's a big-wig
in the Catholic mission,

so I'm just e-mailing him now,
he's got people up there.

Thanks Kate,
but Nick's gonna be fine, so...

(phone rings)

Hello, Drovers Run.

Hi Sandra, no, nothing yet.

(intense music)

Alex.

Anything?

The Cessna definitely
took off from the air strip,

fifteen minutes later the
pilot made a routine radio call.

That was the last contact they made.

There was a storm coming in.

Well Harry's looking to find
Foreign Affairs Embassies.

How's Tess?

She's staying positive.

Good.

There's one other thing.

Tess'll tell you herself.

A baby?

Aw Tess, that's fantastic!

I should've told you earlier, I guess,

but well Nick doesn't know, so...

Oh hey.
I was waiting.

Hey congratulations.

To the both of ya.

Yeah, thanks.

Nick'll be excited.

He's gonna be all right Alex.

I'd know it.

I'd know if he wasn't.

Yeah, there's no way Nick's
gonna miss seeing his bub.

So, I got Adamo out of bed,

remember his best friend from the company.

Yeah, good.

And he's gonna call his contacts,
they'll call theirs,

and that's how it works over there.

Okay.

Anybody hungry?

I think I'll cook anyway.

Yeah, Jod and I'll go check on the cows.

Listen Tess,

if there's no news in the morning,
I'm going over, okay?

We'll get a chopper out of the capital.

But I'm sure you're right,
he's gonna be just fine.

Well I wanna come with you.

You bet you're coming,

but for now let's just take
it one hour at a time, okay?

Yep.

One hour at a time.

(somber music)

(cows moo)

You're gonna be all right.

Everything's gonna be all right.

No I'm from Australia!

No, no, I do not speak Spanish, no.

Your website.

Web-site!

It says you hire helicopters.

Hey, eat something.

How long til he's in?

Righto.

I'll call back.

Okay.

(phone beeps)

Gotta wait for the boss man to get in.

What time is it there?

6:30, suns up.

They've started the search.

Hey.

Hey.

How're the cows?

Yeah, they're looking a bit better,

but Jodi's singing to them at the moment,

which could cause them to relapse.

I didn't realize that you were cooking

for the Japanese sumo team.

It's a Manfredi crisis thing,
we pray and we cook.

Stevie, what if Tess is...

I mean what if all this, it hurts the baby?

Oh no, don't you worry.

They're tougher than we think.

Yeah, but you know, what if.

I mean if something bad did happen,
God forbid?

Well you got contacts with upstairs,

why don't you call in a favor?

Don't worry, I'm asking.

You know you can pray too,
it's not illegal.

We should get Tess into bed later.

If she could just get some sleep.

Yeah,
well if we could all just get some sleep.

You think that's gonna happen?

(cows moo)

It's so hard Tess, being your dad.

Never getting to talk to you,

or eat fish and chips with you.

Sisters should be together too.

Maybe one day you will be.

I love you with all my heart.

Your father, Jack.

Oh, hi.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Any news?

No.

It's hot tea.

Thanks.

So I can pick up the
chopper from Corrientes?

Good, okay,
well I'll transfer a deposit now.

Righto, bye-bye.

It's organized.

He should have been here by now.

We'd all be having dinner together,

and he'd have his hand here,

and be talking, making plans.

What if he didn't land?

You know, safely?

Tess, there'll be radio trouble, okay?

They just can't get a message through,
that's all.

All right.

Well you got my number,
so you hear anything

just give me a call anytime.

I will ring you tomorrow,
you can bet on it.

All right, bye.

Public servants.

Not after five o'clock they're not.

Try to eat something.

No I'm not hungry.

Maybe you should read?

Or put some music on?

Look at him.

Straight as a new fence post.

Everything ahead of him.

Used to hold Nick like that.

Only seems like a couple of years ago.

Tiny little baby.

Runt of a kid too.

Hard to believe now.

It's not happening, this is not happening.

(somber music)

You know, I remember this one time,

when we were kids,

I'd been giving Nick absolute hell.

Yeah, over what?

Oh, who knows.

But anyways, I woke up in the morning,

and mom and dad are out of their tree.

He's left a note about how
he's hitching to Melbourne

because of me.

You know, his bag's gone,
his bed's not slept in.

Boy, did I cop it.

You know, I'm worried sick,

I'm sitting on the end of his bed,

saying, "Nick,
I'm sorry mate, I was stupid,

"and I shouldn't a done it."

And then I hear this
laughing coming from the bed.

The little bastard's been
under there the whole time.

I'm gonna give him
such a hard time after this.

Where did Tess go?

(somber music)

If anything happens,
I don't know what I'll do.

We should be happy now.

This should be the
happiest day of our lives.

Okay, don't faint,
I know it's been a while.

Thing is, I can't cook to keep myself busy,

and I don't have anyone to call.

I can't really make a difference,

but you can.

So if you do look after
good and kind people,

then you'll look after Tess now,

and you'll bring Nick back to her.

Oh please.

(somber music)

What time is it?

Kate?

It's 10 o'clock.

Nick's watch, it stopped.

(phone rings)

Drovers Run.

Yes.

Are you sure?

Just wreckage?

No survivors?
