She in there?

Where's Black Beauty?

I don't know.

What have you done with her? Nothing.

I know it was you.

What makes you so sure?

A horse can kick down a barn door, but even Beauty can't unbolt one.

He wants to be free. How do you know what my horse wants? It is a gift.

You're a thief!

If you want me to, I can tell you where he is.

I can tell you the future, too.

If I don't get my horse back.

They would have taken him.

Why would they steal a horse and stay here at the settlement?

They wouldn't have moved on to sell him.

They could have hidden him somewhere.

They don't know the area.

There's lots of places. Dead Man's Gorge isn't far.

You only know that because you're a local.

They're not.

Aren't you going to do anything?

Of course. I'll speak to Mick and his sister.

They'll just lie.

I know how much you love that horse, Vicky.

And I'll do everything in my power to get him back.

But suspicion's not good enough.

The law requires proof.

She told me that she let Beauty out of the barn.

I'll speak to her about that.

But it isn't a criminal offense leaving a barn door open.

And if she's such a liar, why did she admit anything?

Coming, dear.

I was thinking, my dear, while you're away, perhaps we could spend some time

together by the seaside.

If we went midwinter, we could get very reasonable rates.

I don't take sugar in my tea, Samuel.

Of course you don't, my dear.

It's a little... thoughts, Samuel, but quite frankly if you keep on behaving

like this, well it's like a holiday every day, isn't it?

Am I all that different to what I was before?

Well, the last time you brought me tea in the forge was when you were trying to

get rid of all that Chinese medicinal stuff nobody would buy.

Didn't you like it?

Nor did the roses.

I thought that was an early frost.

That's all behind us now, isn't it?

Oh, heavens above, yes.

Although I still have a couple of pounds of that stuff left.

Samuel.

Just jesting, my dear.

Just jesting.

That's gone.

The horse wanted to be free.

I'm not here to discuss the whims of a horse.

Why were you on the Dennings property last night?

I just went for a walk.

You'll have to do better than that, Missy.

Can't gypsies go for a walk like other people?

Denning's neighbor's been losing chickens.

He reckons it's you.

I'd like you to convince me it isn't.

Vicky's grandfather is a doctor.

Mr. Gordon, yes.

I want to see him, but my brother won't let me.

Are you sick?

I'm not sure.

My brother says it is a curse my mother has.

A curse.

I was going to see Dr. Gordon to ask his help.

There is something wrong with me.

She even put a magic charm around his neck.

Vicki, I've been a furrier for 12 years. I haven't seen a horse yet with a spell

on him. I bet you've never come across anyone like Yasmeen before either.

Well, she's been brought up different from most folks.

No wonder she isn't a stranger.

He's a fine horse.

If he wandered onto someone else's property, they wouldn't be in a hurry to

you.

Mr. Coates was saying to me only the other day, Beauty's the best damn horse

ever let slip through his fingers.

And you think it might be me?

I just thought that you might never really have forgiven me for winning

off you. Aye.

Do you listen to me, young lady?

Get out.

I know I might be a hard man when it comes to business, but I do have a sense

honour.

You won Black Beauty fair and square, and he's yours.

I'm sorry.

I just don't know what else to do.

Look, Vicky, I've watched you and your mother carve out a life here for

yourselves, and I reckon you both deserve everything you've worked for.

I'm sorry, Mr Coates, I really am.

If you want to know who's got your horse, it's the same lot who are getting

on my chooks.

Alright, that's those blasted gypsies.

So what have you come back for now?

To steal something else?

It's all I get.

Just to...

Sit there quietly.

What's wrong, Sir Grandpa?

Before we go into that, young lady, I'd like to know what you were doing roaming

around the countryside when you should have been in bed.

I saw her snooping around outside.

I thought she must have come back to steal Beauty's saddle and bridle.

She came to see me.

Why? She knew she was sick and she wanted treatment.

She has the falling sickness, epileptic.

What is that exactly?

We're not really sure.

Some problem in the brain.

Is she going to be all right?

It seems she has mild form and we do know how to treat that.

I thought it was some sort of black magic.

It appears you misjudged the poor girl.

Anyway, you'll have time to make amends.

She's going to stay with us for a couple of days while your grandpa keeps an eye

on her.

Can I see her?

Your grandfather has been very kind to me.

He knows what's wrong with me.

Yasmin, if you do know where Black Beauty is, please, I beg you to tell me.

I did not steal your horse.

I have never stolen anything in my life.

I'd like to keep Yasmin under observation to see if potassium bromidum

I have known it work in other cases.

No medicine can cure her.

It is a curse.

The evil eye.

Your sister has petite malepilepsia. She'll grow out of it by the time she's

There's an extensive amount of literature I can refer you to.

As far as I know, there is no medical literature on the evil eye.

Please let me stay, Mick.

Aren't you afraid she'll steal your chickens and your other horses?

Vicky!

Vicky! Come quickly.

It's Beauty.

Mr. Coates has found him.

Where have you been?

Never mind that now.

Just as long as you're safe.

Come on, let's get back so Jenny can have a look at you.

Beauty? What's the matter?

Beauty?

Don't you want to come home?

You were right.

He's happy where he is.

He doesn't need me.

At the moment.

I can't understand it.

Pity was my best friend.

And I never even knew that he was unhappy.

It wasn't unnerving.

But you knew he wanted to go right from the start.

It doesn't mean he was miserable here.

He did love you. He does love you.

But now he has gone and served you something else.

Good morning.

Would you like some breakfast?

No, thanks, Jenny. I'm not hungry.

Good morning, Grandpa.

Good morning, my dear.

Do you still want to go up and see a beauty?

I'm ready now.

She's going forward.

Oh, the

mystery

is solved.

This is why.

She's very fine, beauty.

The day off, Victoria?

My first since I started the job, Mr Burton.

Certainly, Vicki. Off you go.

Really? Yes, I know you'd deliver the mail if you could.

You're being very understanding.

Is that such a surprise?

Well, I thought that... Go on.

Be honest.

Was I really as bad as all that?

Depends what you mean by bad.

Go on, be honest.

I like you much better the way you are now.

Really? How's that?

Well, you don't bite people's heads off and make them feel like a nuisance.

I didn't mean you to be that honest, Victoria.

Sorry. Off you go.

I'll do the mail round.

I'll get you a bit of fresh air.

But who'll look after the shop?

Oh, Hilda.

We're more of a partnership now.

There's no weakness.

It didn't happen. I said it'd be coming, but it didn't happen. Good.

Mrs. Denning, I'm sure.

Dr. Gordon has fixed me.

She felt the beginnings of an attack. I gave her three drops of PB and it went

away.

I'm very pleased.

We found the poetry thief.

It was none other than Frank Coates' own dog.

Your brother and yourself are completely in the clear.

It's a lucky day.

Oh, what happened to his beauty?

He's so happy out there with his man.

Soon they'll have a family.

I'm glad he left you to go to something better.

What do you mean?

Well, he left her not because he didn't like it, but because he wanted something

more.

He wanted to... to be with his own kind.

Nick and I have tried little to help, but it's not for us.

You've got to follow your star, wherever it leads.

I hope Beauty Star leads him back here one day.

And you know if he comes back, he has chosen you above everything else in the

world.

She's to follow him.

She's in labor.

Is she going to be all right?

Yes, of course.

Just run in and get my bag.

Quickly.

All right, you'll come.

You'll all be fine.

If she hadn't have come back here, would she have managed all right?

I don't think so.

It was a big foal in her first, I'm sure.

And what beauty will do now?

Well, won't he go back to the hills with his family, my dear?

I wonder.

Now that he's made sure they're safe, perhaps he'll stay here.

Though he's made his choice.

For the time being.

I wonder if he'll ever come back.

Vicky, only he knows for sure.

My heartbeat.
