- Why would Fletcher block the water pump?

- I don't know. All crazy.

Whitefella, blackfella, all crazy!

- Crazy.

- M'lady.

- Don't get up.

I have some questions for you, Mr Flynn.

Your...husband was very kind to me, Lady Ashley.

He was a good bloke. Everybody loved him.

Yes, yes.

- But-but I have a failing.

Maitland felt that, uh, the measure of a man

was the extent to which we overcome our failings.

And I'm afraid, uh, by that measure,

I have, uh, let him down rather badly.

- The truth, Mr Flynn.

And don't pretend to hide it like that bottle there.

- This...ledger which, uh, Fletcher had me keep

for the benefit of your husband

is a tale of decline and ruin

redolent of the great Gibbon.

There is however another.

Kept for the benefit of Mr Carney,

in which is recorded all the unbranded...

fat cattle.

- You let him steal from my husband and you did nothing?

- A man like Fletcher is adept at discovering one's...secrets

and using them to his advantage.

I acquiesced to his demands. I'm a coward.

- And the boy.

He is Fletcher's son, isn't he?

- As with all things Fletcher,

it's impossible to prove anything.

Still, if Carney's good Christian wife

ever comes to the same conclusion as yourself,

Fletcher's chances of marrying their daughter would be dashed.

- I'm going to the authorities and I will be telling them--

- Carney is the authority here.

- Are you suggesting I let him steal my cattle

and buy my property for a fraction of what it's worth?

- I am suggesting that you continue to do

what your husband set out to do.

- Drove.

Drove the cattle to Darwin.

Would you mind?

I need a drink.

- M'lady, drove.

Drove the cattle to Darwin

sell them to the Army,

you'll break Carney's monopoly.

Use the profits to put Faraway Downs back on its feet.

You go back to London,

you're sitting pretty for the rest of your life.

- That's what Maitland said he was doing.

- And there's no reason why you can't do the same.

Ahhh.

There is just one small problem.

Having dismissed Fletcher,

there's no-one to muster the cattle.

Yah! Yah!

Flynn! Missus Boss! It's the Drover!

Yah! Yah!

- Drover!

Drover!

Yah!

Arghh!

Yeah, Drover! Yay!

- Mr Drover.

See any boys up there?

Goolaj, go see if they're up in the top paddock.

- Mr Drover?

Get the bloody brumbies in.

I'll find out what the hell's going on.

You gonna teach me how to break them horses?

Fill the water trough, son.

- Mr Drover! I need to speak to you.

- Where the hell are all the bloody stockmen, eh?

- That's what I need to speak to you about.

- Where's Fletcher?

- We disagreed and I dismissed him.

- Dismissed?

- Yes. - What about the cattle?

- Well, it beggars belief, but as he was leaving,

he deliberately let the cows out of the, uh--

I don't know, whatever you call it. And they ran off.

- Damn!

Do you realise, woman, what you've done?

- Mr Drover, do not take that tone with me,

thank you very much!

- Don't take that tone with you? - No.

- I'm asking ya, woman, do you know what you've done?

I won't get another drove this late in the season, right?

You've cost me my living!

- Can't you just round them up?

- Round 'em up, huh? Oh, round 'em up, yeah.

- Yes, you just go get them.

- 1,500 head of cattle. - Oh!

- Scattered over a million acres

with just me and my two men?

That's a great idea.

Stupid cow.

- Mr Drover, I was right to dismiss Mr Fletcher

on moral grounds.

- Moral grounds? You're at that again, are ya?

Oh, let me guess. He wanted to, uh, 'exploit' you, did he?

Fancy ya, did he? - What?

- Is there any man in this world who doesn't fancy you?

- Please-- Huh?

- Mr Fletcher is working for Mr Carney!

They were pushing the best of the unbranded cattle

across the river onto Mr Carney's property.

They were stealing!

- There's no surprises there.

- No, he's a bad man.

- Alright, alright.

But, look, you can't prove it, right?

- W-- You can't.

And you can't win against Carney.

So just...take my advice, lady,

grab King Carney's offer

and go the hell back to England as quickly as possible.

That way, you'd make everybody happy. Especially me.

- So you're just going to walk away?

- I learnt a long time ago not to fight other people's wars.

- Wait, wait, wait!

Mr Drover, wait! Please, please, please!

Mr Drover, please, please!

Wait, ple...I--

Listen, you said that your dream was to breed a thoroughbred

with...with a bush brumby.

If you agree to help me, I...

I will give you my Capricornia.

- But how are we gonna do a drove

with just me and my two men, huh?

Oh, crikey.

- Some white stockmen

like to have an Aboriginal woman on the drove

to keep 'em company at night.

They shave their heads, make 'em look like boys

and work 'em like any other stockman during the day.

That's, uh...what did you call it?

'Exploiting them'.

- Exploiting, yes.

Anyway, we're still in trouble.

Alright, we gotta have seven good riders, at least.

And the most I can count is five.

What have we got? We got me.

- You. - Magarri.

- Goolaj Yo, boss.

- We got Daisy - nice ride. And, uh, Bandy - good work.

- Oh, what about Mr Sing Song? Mr Sing Song, ride horse?

Hey, don't look at me, huh?

- Cook's Wagon at best. So we got five. Right?

It's not enough. We need two more experienced riders.

I did that run once back in 1935

with Magarri, Dingo Jones and the Drongo brothers -

true knights of the outback.

- Mr Flynn, can you ride?

- I can. I won't carry a drunk.

- But don't.

- Alright, five and a quarter.

- Six and a quarter.

What?

Lady, this ain't trotting in Kensington Gardens.

- Mr Drover, I could show you a thing or two about horses.

- Pretty sure when it comes to horses,

there's nothing you can show me.

- Bring the horse.

- You can't be serious. - Bring the horse.

- Oh, this should be interesting.

- Making that horse dance.

- Move along! Rah! Rah! Move along!

- Rah! Rah!

- What are you doin'?

- Shoo! Rah! Rah, rah! Rah! Rahhh!

Move it! Move it! Move it! You're going the wrong way.

Rahhh! Rahhh!

Rah, rahhh!

Ah. It's easy!

Stubborn things.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey. Come on.

- What the bloody hell are you doing?

You're scattering 'em all over the place.

Get up the back there, up the tail. Get up the tail, will ya?

Get up there. Go, go, go, go, go!

Don't let 'em break away.

- I think we're doing pretty well.

What you reading, bro?

Banjo Patterson.

Banjo? Yeah.

If you shut up, then I can actually read it.

Who put the salt in my tea?

It was his idea, mate.

- And that too. - You crazy! Take all this!

Where you think you going? Shanghai?

- A lady never knows what she might need. Hmm?

- Run, Nullah! Run!

Run!

Run! Tank! Tank, Nullah, tank!

Bandy! Coppers! - Hurry up!

Set 'em loose. Get out. You too.

Check the east side.

Move, move! Hurry up.

Oi--

Hey, Chinaman.

- Daisy's in the tank, missus. She can't swim.

- Hey, Chinaman...where's the creamy?

- Is that right?

- Shh.

- Bandy, tea, tea!

- Going droving, China?

- Thank you.

Can I help you?

- Cheeky bugger.

Nullah.

- Lady Ashley, Sergeant Callahan

of the Northern Territory Police.

I can't begin to tell you, Lady Ashley,

how the tragedy which befell your late husband

has wrung sympathy from the hearts

of every civilised man and woman in the Northern Territory.

Let me assure you, Lady Ashley,

that the suspect, King George, will be brought to justice.

- But surely a witchdoctor

could conceal his own tracks, Sergeant, could he not?

- Makes no difference.

It's only a matter of time.

- Your tea, Sergeant.

- Thank you.

- Shh!

Help!

- Oh, incidentally,

I met up with your former manager, Neil Fletcher.

He informed me that there's a half-blood Aboriginal child

out here somewhere.

I thought we might pick him up

and put him in the good hands of the Church.

- I will be sure to look out for him.

- Till we meet again, Lady Ashley.

Get 'em in the back, Constable. Let's go.

Drover! Daisy and Nullah are in the tank!

Help them! Quickly!

Mama!

I got ya, I got ya.

I got ya.

- Oh. Oh!

Daisy! Daisy!

- When someone dies in the Aboriginal culture,

you're not supposed to say their name again.

He needs motherin'.

- Mothering?

Yep.

You're a woman, so...you should go on, get down there.

- I'm...I'm not--

I-i--

- What?

- Good with children.

- Oh.

Nullah.

I wanted to extend my condolences.

- Would you, uh... would you like to hear a story?

- Ah...well, it's, uh...it's called--

It's called The Wizard of Oz.

- Well, a wizard is a sort of magic man.

- Really?

- No.

Uh...anyway, there's a girl

and there's a dog--

Ruff. Ruff, ruff, ruff!

And there's a tornado--

Well, no, it's a... in the film, it's a twister.

- Oh, no, no, no. Twister's not a person.

It's like a big-- Like a storm.

- Like the Wet.

Anyway, the story takes place in a, um...a faraway land.

Called Oz.

- Oh, well--

- Yes, yes, lots of songs.

- No, no, no, I-- No.

No.

Well, I, uh...some-- I'll sing a little.
