- [Narrator] Previously on McLeod's Daughter's.

(soft music) - Hot alpaca's.

This is great Tess.

- They guard the sheep.

- Oh, yeah?

- They keep the foxes away.

- Is that right?

Well, I'm not surprised, the fox is probably paralyzed with laughter.

(woman laughing) - [Jodi] Mom!

(gentle music) (cows mooing) - [Claire] We're in trouble.

- [Nick] It's no better at Wilgul.

- [Claire] Harry's trucking in food and water for Killarney.

- If I take any, then I'm in debt to him.

I'm not that desperate.

Yet.

- Well, we are they're starving.

What are we gonna do?

- How's it going back in the saddle again?

- Yeah, I'm doing okay.

- How long do you reckon you could go for?

If you had to?

- Why?

(whistling) - [Claire] Well, we'll have to go driving, it's the only answer.

Take the cattle out on the tract and hopefully find some feed out there for them.

- Well, we'll be on the drive for a couple of weeks at least.

I left a list of our jobs on the desk, but you know everything that needs to be done.

If anything goes wrong, just call Killarney.

- It won't.

- I know.

That's why we're leaving you in charge.

- Thanks, Claire.

(keys jingle) (upbeat music) - No mucking up, is that clear?

- You don't trust me, thanks.

- It's other people I don't trust.

Keep an eye on her for me.

- I'm 19, I don't need a babysitter.

- Never thought I'd be it either.

- Ugh.

- Meg.

- Terry.

Oh, we've got plenty of food.

- Oh, Jane insisted.

- How thoughtful of her.

(dogs barking) - Tess and I'll keep an eye on the place from our side.

Still a few foxes out there, I reckon.

- There's nothing to worry about, the sheep will be fine.

Alpaca's never leave their flock.

- Those bloody useless things.

(upbeat music) (squeaking of gate) (cattle calls) (upbeat music) (cattle calls) (cows mooing) (cattle calls) (upbeat music) (cattle calls) (cows mooing) (cattle calls) - So two rolls of Ringlock, three dozen star pickets.

Yours Sincerely, Becky.

No.

Yours Sincerely, Rebecca Howard, Leading Station Hand at Drovers Run.

They're Claire's emails.

- [Jodi] Thought you couldn't read very well.

- I can recognize her name.

- Ha!

Listen to this one.

- [Becky] That is Claire's private stuff.

- [Jodi] Hey.

- Now, tomorrow, we clean out the sheering shed and the sheering supplies.

- Knockoff around of four, have a bath, do my hair, and get ready.

- For what?

- The party Saturday night.

- Jodi, you heard what Meg said just before she left.

- I know, can you blame her?

- Jodi, there is no party.

- This is about the don't have it in the house thing?

- Hey, it stays exactly as Claire left it.

- I've already invited everybody.

- Well, you're gonna have to ring them and tell them you're sick because Claire left me in charge and I say no party.

(phone ringing) - Drovers Run, Becky speaking.

Yeah, hi Brick.

Yeah, I miss you too.

♪ (sound of truck) (upbeat music) - I know I'm filthy and I know I'm dirty, but five days on the road, what do you expect?

- I wasn't actually - There's a water hole a couple k's ahead.

We can camp there and water the stock.

- Well, what about us?

I haven't washed my hair since we left home.

- I don't think it's deep enough for a dunk.

- Oh, there should be enough water there for a bush shower.

- Yep.

- Well, all right, let's hurry up and get these cows there.

- [Tess] Come on, hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Hey, hey, Tess.

They're here to eat and put on weight, not be hurried along and lose it.

We'll be there in a couple of hours.

- How long do you get for drowning your sister?

- It's a waste of water.

Save it for your hair.

Come on.

- Come on Oscar.

- Hey, Claire.

Remind me to tell Nick he's an angel for rigging this up.

- I'll pass it on.

(Tess yelps) - What are you doing here?

- Well, they're all busy and I remembered that this was my idea, so.

- So you gonna fill the water up?

(Tess yelps) - Oh, what is it?

- Nothing, it's - Yeah, you all right?

- Yeah.

- I'll get back.

- Yeah, okay, yeah.

(Tess screams) - Ah Nick, I've got a leech on me, can you get it off, please?

Quick.

- It's okay, I've got some matches.

- Well, what are you gonna do with them?

- Well, I need to make sure that it's all out.

I'll burn it off.

- No, it's on my leg, up at the top.

Get it off me, and only the bit, look at the bit where the leech is, okay.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Quick, hurry.

Have you got it?

- Yeah, almost.

- Ow, Nick.

Ow, Ow!

- It's off.

- Is that it, it's gone?

- Yep, yep.

It's a big one too.

- Yeah, well, I think they are disgusting.

- Almost as big as the one on your bum.

(Tess screams) - Ah, what?

- Oh, you're very funny.

- Hey, I promise I only looked at the bit with the leech on it.

Pretty good bit though.

- Nick.

(water running) - Mm.

Great cake, Meg.

One week in, still pulling out the surprises, eh.

- It's Jane's.

- So, Terry, this track still the same since you were out and last drove it?

- You've been out here before?

- Yeah, been about 10 years ago now.

- That's how Terry and I first met.

- I didn't know that.

- Yeah, Jack brought his mob out and Harry followed, brought a new stock man with him.

- Yeah, when they said they were bringing the housekeeper from Drovers out to cook for us, I was expecting some old battle ax.

(group laughter) - [Claire] Yeah, you got a surprise.

- [Terry] I sure did.

- Okay, come on everyone.

Have your laugh and get it over with.

- Here, have some cake, love.

- Oh, it's great cake Meg.

- It's Jane's.

- [Claire] I think I will have a bit of cake.

(upbeat music) - Perfect.

(upbeat music) (Jodi screams) - Out, now.

- Ugh, have you ever heard, when the cats away the mice will play?

- No.

- You know, you've taken to the cat, a really horrible one.

- To bad, time to go to bed, long day tomorrow.

- You won't even know there was a party.

- [Tess] Hey, Claire.

Found it.

- Found what?

- My star.

- Yours?

- That one, on the end of the Scorpin.

It's mine.

- Do we all get one?

- Yeah.

- Nice.

- Thanks for not telling the others.

- Well, it's not my leech.

- [Nick] What's wrong?

- Sticks and stones.

- Sit up.

Up.

Better?

- Yeah, much.

Good night Nick.

- Good night.

(cows mooing) - [Terry] Come on, now.

(cows mooing) (Nick moaning) - You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Well, a massage might help.

- You offering, eh?

- Well, one good leech deserves another.

- [Claire] Nick.

- We're in trouble.

- What the hell is that?

- It looks painful.

- It's not the only one.

I reckon it's eczema.

- Eczema, you mean itchy skin like we get?

- No, it's different for cattle, a lot worse.

It's like being sunburned on the inside.

- [Tess] Ow.

- We need to get them out of the sun and treated.

- Yeah, but we're in the middle of nowhere.

- If they don't get treated, they'll die.

Over there, let's go.

We'll call a vet, yard them up.

- No.

- It's eczema, it's not contagious if that's what you're worried about.

We just need to get them off the tract.

- [Nick] If you don't help, they're gonna die.

- I'm sorry.

- How can you do this to someone else's cattle?

- At least, let us use your phone to call a vet.

- Look, I'll call mine for you, that's all I can do.

- If we don't get them out of the sun, they're gonna be in agony.

- I'm sorry, no.

- So you're just gonna let them suffer?

- Stay on the tract.

- We're bringing them in.

- [Nick] Claire, if he doesn't want.

- [Claire] He can't just turn away hundreds of cattle just like that.

- Yes, he can, it's his property.

- He didn't listen to a thing we said, he just doesn't care.

- Well, let me have a go.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi, I'm sorry to barge in, but I just wanted to apologize for whatever went on outside.

It was heat of the moment stuff, you know.

My sister, she's very attached to her animals.

She communicates better with them than she does with people.

When I first moved in, she hardly gave me the time of day, unless I mooed first.

My names Tess.

- Daniel.

- Hi, Daniel.

Look, I know you're probably worried about your stock, but our cattle has all the symptom consistent with eczema, which Claire swears is not catching not that I'd know the difference between cattle eczema and sparerib tinea, but these cattle are our lively hood.

That's why we were out driving, they were starving at home.

And now it looks like we're gonna lose them all, unless you can help us.

- Yeah, you can guide them around the side, I'll open the gates.

- Oh, well, that's great.

- [Becky] Brick's uncle wants him to stay longer than he thought.

- [Jodi] Bad luck?

- [Becky] Yeah, he wants me to send the rest of his clothes up.

- [Jodi] That's a bummer.

Move it.

Hey so um, you'd have to go over to Killarney's sometime?

- [Becky] Yep.

- [Jodi] I mean, you don't wanna leave Brick without his clothes for too long.

- Don't even think about it.

- What?

- Hey, Alex.

- [Jodi] Hey.

- Young ladies, what do you know?

Is everything okay?

- You don't need to check up on us.

- Tess' mutant llamas doing their job?

- We're all doing just fine, even the alpacas.

- Yeah, it's just work, work, work around here.

(gentle guitar music) (sheep baaing) - It's like living next to a Narnia Toy land.

(cow mooing) - They're already in pretty bad condition due to the lack of feed.

That's why we're out here.

Now this.

- Yeah, well the cortisone and zinc will stop them from getting any worse.

- Will it save them?

- Won't know until tomorrow.

- Daniel was worried that our cattle might walk it into his yards.

- [Vet] Na, that's not possible.

- What's the verdict?

- Waiting game overnight, no promises.

I lose 10%, I'll just get by.

Anymore than that, I'm in serious trouble.

- Come on strawberry, get your head up.

- Here you go.

- Come on boy.

- Hold her still.

- Ah, I'm doing my best.

- Ah, just.

- Ah, lovely.

- Oh, Terry, I'm sorry.

- Oh, that's all.

- I missed a bit.

- Oh, right.

(Terry and Meg laughing) - Oh yeah.

Hey!

(Meg laughing) - Kaka, kaka - Can you believe I used to be scared of these things?

They seem so big and threatening at first.

You don't realize how gentle they really are.

- Yeah except when they're sick they can get pretty stroppy.

- Well, wouldn't you be, imagine being sunburn on the inside.

- Well, they've got a lot to talk about, don't they?

- Thank goodness.

Let her do her thing or he might change his mind about us.

- How can she have so much to say to a total stranger?

- You know Tess.

- [Tess] I got really badly sunburn after a big night once.

I fell asleep on the beach and I got these blisters all over my.

(motorcycle revving) (sheep bleating) - I hope you know how stupid you blokes look.

(alpaca moans) Oh I'm sorry, but it's true all right.

(upbeat music) You need to be looking after the sheep.

The sheep you idiots.

Useless animals.

I'll shave you both.

Come here, the sheep are that way.

Come here.

(upbeat music) (cows mooing) - Thanks for all your help.

- [Claire] Just hope that we got to them in time.

- We need to watch them overnight, is it okay if we camp here?

- [Daniel] Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

- Well, thanks again Daniel.

We owe you.

- Look, if there is anything else I can do for you.

- No, we're fine, thanks mate.

- What about something to eat?

- Oh, thanks, we got our own cook.

- [Daniel] Okay, well if you want to use the bathroom.

- [Tess] I suppose I could have a shower?

- Yeah sure, Feel free, all of you.

- Tess, we don't want to overstay our welcome do we?

- He wouldn't have offered if he didn't mean it.

- We really need to keep an eye on the cattle.

- [Meg] Oh, Terry and I can do that.

- We can?

- I don't know, if one of them goes down.

- [Meg] We can manage.

If there's a problem then we'll come and get you.

- Well, I'm accepting the offer, it'd be rude not to.

I'll just go get my bag.

- We can't let her go in by herself.

- Guess not.

Are you sure?

I mean, yell if anything happens.

- Don't worry.

- Thank you for talking us in.

- Fresh damper, pulley beef, and I saved the last tin of peaches.

- Condensed milk?

- Plenty.

- Tess is right, we should be polite.

Bloody lucky to have met Daniel.

- Yeah.

Very.

- [Becky] I'll be back soon.

- [Jodi] Yeah, take your time.

I've only got dinner to burn and then grab an early night, I'm whacked.

- Yeah, well, I'll see you soon anyway, okay.

- Okay.

Whoa hoo, party time.

(upbeat music) - Come one, the sheep are over here.

You know what I said before, about you being stupid?

Well, you're not.

You're just unusual that's all.

Hey look, if a fox gets one of those lambs because you guys are not around Tess will kill me, right?

Okay, all right.

Let's do a deal then, okay.

Look, you obviously don't like me, well, I don't like you either, all right.

Hey, hey, hey, over here, the sheep are over here.

(upbeat music) (upbeat music) - You're stealing my stuff.

- Who are you?

- Well, that's gonna be my next question.

- I'm a friend of Brick's.

- Brick's away.

- Yeah, I know, he phoned me.

He needed some more clothes.

- Well, does the friend of Brick's have a name?

- Yeah.

Girlfriend actually, Becky.

- Well, I'm Jake.

I'm filling in for him.

- Well, I'm in a hurry, so if you could show me where you put the stuff that would be great.

- Sure.

Yeah, that didn't seem to go with the whole denim look.

- It's mine.

- Oh, well, he's a romantic guy.

And I could see why he would be.

- Yeah.

I'm just gonna put this in the car.

- [Claire] I've been doing the figures in my head.

Reckon I could scrape by, even if I lose 20%.

- Claire, can you stop killing the cattle before any of them are actually dead, please?

- Well look, you might be able to get by with a bigger loss, but I can't.

- We're both in the same boat, but I'll deal with the worse case scenario later.

- Sorry about my sister.

Show her a bathroom and she takes out a six month lease.

- I heard that Claire.

- [Daniel] It's no problem.

- I used some of your bath salts.

I hope you don't mind.

- Yeah, it's no problem.

- Tess likes to make herself feel at home in other peoples bathrooms.

- Yeah, and a beautiful bathroom it is too.

I love those matching duck things you've got, you have really great taste.

Should I sit here?

- I got it for you.

Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Wine?

- Yeah, I'd love some.

Wow, look at all this food.

You must spend half your life in the kitchen.

- Not really.

There's chicken, beef, and I think that ones tuna.

- What you cook so much, you can't remember what's what?

- [Daniel] Ah, Tess says you own your own place.

- Yeah, Wilgul.

It's tough but I'm getting there.

- Yeah, I'm on my own, 4,000 acres here.

- Oh, Wilgul's about 3,000 acres.

- Yeah, it's what you can get out of the land though that counts.

I've got 320 head.

- Mm hmm, got 400.

- [Nick] Right.

Yeah, I'm still building.

I hope to have another 100 head in about 8 months time.

- Well, let's not let this delicious food get cold.

Here you go Claire.

- Yeah, thanks.

Ah look, thanks for dinner, I'll just go check on the cattle.

- [Tess] What did I tell you about my sister and her cows.

How she can put them before nice wine and good company I'll never know.

(soft gentle music) (cows mooing) - Jake.

- Alex.

- Settling in okay, everything all right?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

- You've worked on a few properties before this one didn't you?

- Yeah, that's right.

- You ever had anything to do with them alpacas?

- Ah, can't say I have, no.

- All right, I don't suppose you know what they eat then?

- Sorry, are there alpacas on Killarney?

- No, no mate, I'm just wondering.

It's all, you know, future diversification and all that sort of caring.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow.

- Alex, did Brick have a girlfriend?

- He's seeing Becky Howard over at Drovers.

- Is it serious?

- Well, he was.

I can't speak for Becky, why?

- Just curious.

- All right.

- Camping out tonight?

- Something like that.

(soft music) (loud party music) - Becky, um.

- Right, party's over, everybody out now.

(crowd laughing) - No way.

- [Man In Crowd] Yeah right, Beck.

(loud party music) - Oh, Becky!

- Everybody out now, don't make me come back a third time.

Party's over, everybody out now.

Now, out, out.

(crowd scrambling) - What the hell do you think you're doing?

- Following orders.

- That's what the Nazi say.

- Yeah, I wouldn't know.

- This is so embarrassing Beck, how can you do this to me?

- Quite easily, believe me.

Now get out, party over.

- Ugh!

(cars driving away) (guitar music) - Craig, it's Jodi.

Oh, look don't worry.

It's really good you're late, believe me.

Look, do you know the back way in here?

Excellent, okay, I'll meet you there.

Bye.

- Don't you get lonely out here by yourself?

- I'm not tonight.

- Some people prefer to live by themselves.

- [Tess] Yeah, you do.

- Not by choice.

- Me either.

Must miss the city.

- Yeah, I do sometimes.

- Not enough to go back for good.

- Well, how can I live without mozzies, saddle sores, and leeches?

You know I had a leech on my leg the other night.

- Here, no, no, no.

You've had a long day.

- I wonder why he isn't married.

He's young, he's good looking, he's got his own place.

Shower with a really big water tank, gorgeous taste in everything.

Maybe he's gay.

- Maybe.

- [Daniel] Timings a bit of a wait for the apple pie, I'm afraid.

But look, if you wanna go and check your cattle Nick, I understand and won't be offended.

- Oh yeah, go ahead, we're fine.

- Well, I'll be back soon.

(soft music) (soft music) - Craig, hi.

- You look great, Jodi.

- Thanks.

So do you.

(dramatic music) - [Daniel] Cooking is not my thing.

- Well, you do a mean casserole, even if you can't remember what you put in it.

- You mean my neighbors do.

- [Tess] What's the secret?

- Lose your wife.

Couldn't take that one down, it's my favorite.

- The bath salts.

- Yeah, and the giant ducks.

Yeah, you're right, she had great taste.

- I'm sorry, Daniel.

- Oh, you didn't know.

It was an aneurysm, six weeks ago.

She just fell down and never woke up.

- Well, have you got someone you can talk to?

It helps, you know, to talk about it.

I had counseling once after my mom died.

- You are so like Mia.

- [Nick] The cattle are no worse.

- Well, that's a good sign then.

- Yeah.

It is.

- Terry, I've said I'm sorry about Kevin.

It was.

It was a mistake.

(camp fire crackling) I miss you.

- I miss you.

- Then why can't you forgive me for one stupid, stupid thing?

- We always said what we had was convenient.

That we were comfortable together, no strings attached.

Well, deep down, there were strings, for me.

- And me.

I never meant for that to happen with Kevin.

- You used me.

- No.

- Yes.

I love you.

Ever since we first came out on this tract together and I always will.

- Then what's the problem?

It's not serious with Jane, is it?

- It is.

Because she doesn't treat me like she's looking for something better.

(Jodi laughing) - Oh, sorry.

(Jodi and Craig kissing) - Wooh!

- Hello, Craig.

(Jodi screams) - Ah!

Ah!

Well, I'm gonna just stay and use the bathroom.

- Becky, not again, you can't stop me having fun so just give up, all right?

- If you wanna play up, then play up while Meg's here, not just behind her back.

- You're jealous.

Brick's not here and you can't have any fun, so neither can I.

- That has nothing to do with it.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Then you can shut the door on your way out.

- You really don't care that Claire and Meg have left me here to do a job, do you?

- Hey, you tried, can't do better than that.

Night.

- So Craig, what do you really think of Jodi?

- Did she ask you to say that?

- I mean, is she just a good time or is she someone who really matters?

- Of course, she matters.

- [Becky] And you make her feel special?

Can you make her believe that she can be anything that she wants to be?

And then, help her be it?

Because that's the difference between most guys and guys who really respect you.

- Well, of course I respect her.

- Then prove it and don't take advantage of her.

- I'm not, because she invited me around and I wouldn't do anything that Jodi didn't want to do.

Okay?

- Okay.

You lay a finger on her while her mother's away and you can say goodbye to your bits.

So I would wait till Meg got home.

Wouldn't you?

(upbeat music) - Hey.

You know, you don't have to go back tonight.

(Jodi and Craig kissing) - I gotta think about this.

- What?

- I respect you.

- Yes.

- As a human being.

- Whatever.

- So I think we should take this one step at a time.

- Not a problem.

Can we get straight to step two?

- Whoa, well no.

So I think I should go.

- What?

- Well, because I respect you.

- Craig?

Craig?

(people walking) - Where's Meg?

- She's sleeping in the Ute.

- Why?

- It's to far to walk home.

(soft music) - Poor Daniel.

- What is it with women?

Suckers for a man of mystery every time, eh.

- What is it with blokes you mean?

So he's got a few more acres, a few more head of cattle.

- It doesn't bother me.

- [Tess] Well, something does.

I can tell you don't like him.

- You think that's why?

- [Tess] Well, what then?

Why does everything have to be a competition?

- Not everything, Tess, just some things.

- Well, I still think it's stupid.

- Well, you're very lucky, only loosing two.

- What about the rest?

- Well, they've come this far.

I think they'll probably pull through now.

Lucky you were so close to help when it happened.

- Oh, that's for sure.

- So how long do we have to keep them yarded for?

- You can move them out when you want.

The important thing is to getting them eating, get them back into condition again.

- Well, thanks Graham, you've been great.

- Yeah, thanks man.

- No problem.

See ya.

- Bye.

- I'm sure Daniel wouldn't mind if we stick around.

- He can't really afford the feed, Tess.

It's back to the tract, Jack.

- Well, we gotta say our thanks and goodbyes then.

- No, I wanna get packed up and get the mob moving first.

- No problem.

I'll do it.

- You reckon she'll be back before dark?

- Hey.

- Daniel, hi.

About last night, I hope I didn't upset you.

- No.

No, no, no, it's good.

Ah, remembering.

- Well, isn't that worse?

- [Daniel] Sometimes.

But then I think, what if I had never met her at all?

- Might have been easier.

- To have never known her?

Oh, no, that would be much worse than anything I feel right now.

- Really?

- [Daniel] Yeah, of course.

Never falling in love?

What sort of life is that?

- Oh, mine.

- Yeah, what about Nick?

- What about him?

- Well, aren't you two?

- Oh, no, no, no.

- Oh, no.

- Anyway, I just hope you're all right.

- Yeah, yeah, thanks.

Hey, Tess.

Don't miss your chance.

You might only get one.

(upbeat music) (guitar music) (sheep bleating) - Oh, you beauty.

It's about time.

It's okay, look I'm leaving.

Look, I'm leaving.

- [Jodi] Oh my God, Alex, what are you doing?

You know you just scared off the alpacas?

- [Alex] I didn't do anything, all right.

They just look at me and run.

- [Becky] Thought they were supposed to be used to you, huh?

- Well, what do you think I'm trying to doing here?

Look, there's gotta be some way to bring them back, right?

- You can dress up as another alpaca.

- What do they eat, Jodi?

- Grass.

- Yeah, like apart from that, you know what fruit, biscuits, chocolate?

- Tess bought some alpaca pellets.

- Tess bought some alpaca pellets?

(motorcycle revs) - Hey, you still haven't answered my question.

What did you say to Craig last night?

- Who says I said anything?

- He used the word respect about 15 times and then he ran out on me.

That's not normal.

- No, normal is the guy jumping your bones and not remembering your name in the morning.

You should be grateful.

- No, not when you think you've got the right to run my love life.

- Jodi, Claire and Meg left me in charge, me.

Becky Howard, the looser who can't read properly.

- Don't say that, you're not.

- Well, I wanted to prove that.

Meanwhile, you were to busy making sure that I couldn't - I'm sorry.

- Me too.

- But you know I will end up being the oldest virgin.

- We made it.

- Thank God.

- Yeah, back sooner than expected too.

- Well, its given our pastures a chance to recover.

I knew driving was the right thing to do.

- Yeah, with a little help from Daniel.

- [Becky] We finished everything on the list you left.

- Yep, and we did huge amount of stuff as well.

- Thanks Beck, I knew I could rely on you.

- No worries, Claire.

You did remember to clean her room, though?

- That's the third time you've asked me, and yes okay.

- Oh, I gotta be heading back to Killarney.

Thanks for all the meals.

- Don't forget Jane's esky.

Terry.

- No, I don't think there's anymore to say Meg.

See you around.

- Yeah, see you around.

(upbeat music) - Craig, what are you doing here?

- You said it was okay if I waited until Meg got back.

- Waited for what, Craig?

- All right then, I'll catch you guys later.

- Look, mom, nothing happened, honest.

- It's true Meg, nothing happened.

- You serious about him?

Do you really like him?

- Well, yeah, I guess.

- Then make sure you treat him right and he'll do the same to you.

- Okay.

- Come get it guys.

It's yummy.

Come on.

Fine.

- Alex, I told you the alpacas don't need checking up on, they never leave the sheep.

- Yeah, sure.

We do share a fence line though Tess.

So how was the drive?

- Eye opening.

Now, please leave my alpaca alone.

- I'm happy too.

They're like stuffed toys on steroids anyway.

- What's behind your back?

- Oh, it's nothing.

- Well, it looks like.

- Breakfast, my breakfast.

I kinda like this one.

Want some?

- Oh, no thanks.

(Alex spitting) - All right, who's been sleeping in my bed?

- Oh, hey, I cleaned the whole room twice.

- I knew it, my rooms never that tidy.

- The alpacas are fine.

- How are the sheep?

- [Tess] Oh, they're fine too.

Why can't anyone trust them to do their job?

Is Nick gone?

- Uh huh.

- Well, he didn't even say goodbye.

- Probably wanted to go home, probably sick to death of us.

(slow music) - [Tess] Hi, Nick.

Sorry, I left in a hurry.

No, I can't say that, he'll think I'm stupid.

- Tess.

- Hi.

I didn't get to say goodbye before.

- Yeah, I had to get back.

- Hmm, and I just wanted to say thanks for the shower and the leech and everything.

Wasn't it great?

My first drive, sleeping under the stars, eating fresh damper, and seeing all of that country out there.

- And meeting talk, dark strangers?

- What?

Daniel's wife had just died, and I reminded him of her.

That's all.

- Oh!

Poor bloke.

- Yeah.

- Listen, I've gotta go back to Drovers tomorrow and pick up my cattle.

- Oh, well I can give you a hand.

- Sounds good.

- All right, well I'll see you tomorrow then.

Sorry.

- Sorry.

(car door opening) See ya.

- Bye.
