Previously on MacLeod's Daughters.

It's always there, isn't it?

Huh?

I'm half a brother and less than half a son.

You'd rather have me dead and Nick back home, is that it?

Think what you like.

I signed off on a blast and two men died.

You know, I wanted to say something, but the company said I couldn't and the

lawyer said I couldn't, so I just...

I guess I just went along with my too much of a coward to do the decent human

thing and just say I'm sorry.

Point of order.

I hope that someone will support me when I move to have the Dungelen fresh

proposal added.

We axed this yesterday.

Just let me give you a summary. Check out the benefits of a natural beef

Jodie, that is enough.

I'll second Jodie's motion.

Well, Jodie McLeod is one of us after all. I reckon she knows her onion.

What say we give her a go?

I don't know about this.

How do we know it says what we think it says?

Welcome to the home of Gungall and Fresh.

Drover's Run is a lice -infested pit.

I had it checked.

Twice. But where's Alex with the Colonel? We need to show off our land's

bloodline. He'll be here.

Bill Rakich just rang to wish us luck.

No pressure, mind you. Yeah, just the whole district is relying on this deal

going through. No pressure at all.

Okay, come here.

Do the cards.

No, come on, come on.

Okay. And one, two, present.

Three, four, exchange.

Two, hands, examine.

Good morning, Mr.

Yamaguchi.

Maybe I should say good morning in Japanese.

No, no, leave all that to Jodie.

Yeah.

Pretty lucky.

I still think we'll take you up to the hospital, though, and get you x -rayed

and properly checked out.

Jodie, I'll need to get a statement from you, but we'll do that later.

I didn't see him.

There was no time to... It's OK.

Now,

is there anyone you need to call?

Your family, a friend, perhaps? Oh!

No, I actually have to get home. I shouldn't really get home right now.

Look, you need to get checked out in hospital first. No, look, I'm fine.

Really.

I just have to get home. They need the hats.

Jodie's yacking with someone at the truck stop.

Jodie will be here. She organised this whole thing.

Well, guys, the Japanese aren't due for another half an hour. It's okay.

Yeah, and they expect things to run like clockwork. She's cutting it pretty

fine.

Oh, it's about time.

Oh, no, they're early.

Don't look at your watch. It's probably ruined. Kate, it'll be fine. The

Australian rep will help smooth things over.

Good morning.

Welcome to Driver's Run. Good morning.

This is Mr. Yamaguchi, Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Umedu, and Mr. Corso.

I am Stevie Hall. I'm Kate Manfredi. I'm Regan McLeod.

Welcome to Driver's Run.

I've spoken many times with Jodie Fountain.

Oh, yes, Jodie is slightly delayed.

Many apologies.

We have been dealing with Mike Elliott from Austrade.

I'm sorry. Mr. Elliott fell ill this morning and had to stay in Fisher.

Allow me to introduce my wife, Amy.

Seemed a shame to cancel.

My husband and I can both translate, so we decided to continue.

Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Well, I didn't want to cut short my

trip. I grew up over the border. The Wimmera? Oh, right. We're country.

Well,

I'm a Tokyo girl now, though. Through and through.

We would like to offer you some morning tea.

Thank you. That would be lovely.

Please.

You sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Well, I don't mean to touch her without getting the statement. Okay.

You've gone to a lot of trouble.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no trouble. Um, we have a very big day planned for you.

I like the banner.

Oh, thanks. Giant cows make happy steaks.

No, no, it's okay.

I'm kidding.

Good morning. I'm so sorry.

Just, there was this thing.

I had, um, oh.

Jodie, what happened? No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Hello.

Um, drovers run me.

I'm sorry.

I can't move.

It's okay. It's okay.

Come with me. Sorry, excuse us.

I'm sorry.

Jodie is not feeling very well.

Regan, please take care of our guest.

And we'll be back in just a moment.

Of course. Please.

He was just lying there. I didn't even know it was him until I saw it.

Is Alex home?

Oh, God, Alex, I didn't even think... Maybe I should go and... No, Stevie,

got Fiona. He'll be fine.

The police want me to give a statement.

But Harry's car was on the wrong side of the road. I think that's all I

remember. Okay, yep, we can reschedule today.

What? No, we can't. The whole district's relying on us. Doesn't matter. Well,

I've served them all more tea. Is everything okay?

Hey, you've only failed.

No, it's going down fresh.

It's everything.

Please, I don't want to wreck it.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. This is horrible, Jodie. Well, can you just tell

that we really need to do this? We really need this contract, Jodie. We

need to... Oh, no, no, no, no. Jodie's right. We can do this. We can start the

tour.

Come on, if that's what she wants, we can do it for her sake.

Yeah.

No chemical residue, no antibiotics.

We breed them naturally on green grass and under a blue sky.

Which is why we can ask a premium for all of our stock.

And after this, we'll move on to a display of cattle mustering.

Are you sure this is appropriate at this time?

Perhaps we should go.

No, no, no, we're fine. Plus, you've come all this way.

Konnichiwa, everyone.

Sorry I'm late. The colonel had a tanty getting into the trailer, so I left him

down tomorrow to cool off for a bit.

Hey! What's the problem, Stevie? I forget to bow.

Stevie, what's up, mate?

Something's happened.

Okay, what? What's happened?

Harry.

Right.

What's the silly bugger done now?

There was a... There was a car accident.

Alex, I'm so sorry. It's gone.

Alex.

Alex.

Baby.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, God, Alex.

I am so sorry.

I'm sorry it was a blank photo. It was on the wrong side of the...

I can find Kate.

How's Jodie?

She's a mess. I should be with her.

No, Kate's down there.

I thought I'd let them take some photos and then... Maybe we should head

straight back for the barbecue. No, the must is supposed to be the highlight. I

know, but without Jodie, I... Mr Tanaka, I'm so sorry. We've had to juggle the

schedule a little.

This is, um...

This is a difficult time for all of you.

It's not fitting to do business today.

Well, how about tomorrow? Can you come back tomorrow?

We have flights booked.

I'm so sorry.

We can visit again in 18 months or two years.

Two years, that's great.

We should go now.

Have you seen my wife?

She went for a walk.

Well, Amy...

Wanted to breathe some space, she said. Did you see which direction she went?

No. But don't concern yourself.

We'll find out. No, I don't want you getting... I would like to look for my

wife.

Okay. Regan, can you please take Mr. Tanaka, check out Skinny Jim's? I'll...

I'll go look by the river. Sure.

Mr. Tanaka, please.

It was an accident. Don't do this to yourself.

You said Harry was on the wrong side of the road. There's nothing you could have

done about that.

I was practicing my Japanese.

I was doing the speech over and over.

That wouldn't cause an accident.

I remember the bend, Emmett.

Trevor's run.

My phone.

It rang and I... It was me.

I took my eyes off the road for my phone.

Actually, I'm a bit busy right now, Phil. Can I call you back?

Hey, it's me.

I heard you had a bit of an accident, old man, huh?

What's going on? Give me a call.

They were wrong about Nick.

They thought they had a body and they were wrong.

This is not the way Harry Ryan goes out.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

would have walked away from that.

Where'd they take him?

To Fisher.

The hospital.

That's where we're going then.

Amy!

Stayed too long, have I?

Look, the inspection's over.

We've got too much to deal with right now.

That's a shame.

Japanese market isn't easy to crack.

Yeah.

I just needed some quiet time, some silence.

Tokyo is a constant buzz.

People everywhere.

Hard to get used to.

How long have you been there?

Five years.

Date two was a student in my English class.

This is actually my first trip back home.

It's a fair shot to the system.

It's that obvious.

Dad, you know something's up. I just can't tell him.

Tokyo's his home.

I thought it could be mine too, but coming back here, seeing the sky and the

colours and everything, it's just not so simple now.

I'm sorry. Look, you don't want to hear all of this.

No, it's okay.

I know about starting over, believe me.

I used to be on the go all the time.

No roots anywhere.

Well, until I logged on into this place.

I can see why. It's just beautiful.

Yeah, but it's not just about the place.

The people.

The friendships.

It's what I really stayed for.

Have you ever longed for something you can't have?

Oh, yeah.

Amy!

It hurts, doesn't it?

Now you have to let go.

You're such as me.

Now it hurts.

There'll be other deals, plenty of them.

Even better ones than this.

I should never have picked up that phone.

That was just one thing in a whole string of bad luck. Bad luck.

Accidents happen because lots of things go wrong at the same time.

If you hadn't been on that corner at that second, if...

Harry hadn't been on the wrong side of the road.

If I'd called a minute earlier or a minute later... What?

It was you?

You called me?

Yeah, I think I was calling to see what you were doing. Oh, Kate, why did you do

that? You knew I was driving.

And you know I always shake up in cases. Mum, you know that. I'm sorry.

tell the police about the phone and I... This could be manslaughter, Kate. I

could go to jail.

Too much. Don't.

Would you like a cup of tea?

A drink?

Have you called Nick, or would you rather that I did?

I'll go for a ride.

Please, let me help.

Well, it looks better from the back of a bike.

How you holding up?

Been better.

Need a hand?

Wouldn't say no.

I mean, I guess I could just shut up.

I have no memory of the phone and...

Let the police tell Alex it was an accident.

Could you live with that?

I reckon I could give it a go.

Apart from the fact it's lying and it's totally wrong.

And it'll eat away at you until you hate yourself.

Jodie, I am an expert in self -loathing. You don't want to go there, trust me.

Regan, the mine accident wasn't your fault.

Not legally.

But what happened afterwards, I... Well, don't make the same mistake as me.

What mistake?

Well, I never went and spoke to the families of those men who died.

I never did the decent thing. I never looked them straight in the eye. I never

apologized. I never even acknowledged their grief. And that was... That was

wrong. That was so wrong.

You have to be straight up.

It's the only thing to do.

If you really thought this through, I mean, you shouldn't be rushing into

anything. I can't lie, Kate.

No, of course not. But, I mean, is this really what Alex would want to hear

right now?

Isn't it better to wait?

I guess so.

You wait. You might not ever get around to doing it.

Hang on, was this your idea?

You wanted me to talk to her.

I just don't see how that's helping right now, Regan. Well, no offence, but

Jodie's the one who has to live with this, not you.

Yeah.

Jode, just tell me you're absolutely sure that this is what you want.

It is.

Well, then, I'm coming with you.

I think you've done enough for now. Thanks.

Good luck.

Hold on, I'll give you a hand.

Alex,

I'll give you a hand. No!

You stupid bloody thing!

You stupid old bastard!

I told him!

Patrick could fix the unit.

He didn't have to do it.

But would he listen?

No, you stupid old bastard!

Reckons I'm some bush mechanic and fisher.

Anything! Anything to suck my bloody back!

You know what else?

The last time I saw him.

We were fighting.

Just for something different.

Alex is fine.

Yeah.

Hold on a sec, Fiona. He's here.

No, I'm fine.

Just fixing fences.

I'll be home soon.

Goodbye.

She's worried about me.

She's your fiancé.

It's her job.

Here, let me do that.

I heard about Harry.

I'm really sorry, Sandra.

He was a good boss.

It's just... It wasn't meant to be, him going like this. It's a mistake.

It's all wrong.

It shouldn't have happened.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it myself.

You see things, don't you?

I don't really do that much anymore. But you still can, don't you?

Well, it's not something I control. It just sort of happens.

Look, it doesn't happen like that.

I need to know.

How much I loved him.

Does he understand that?

I'm sorry.

I can't tell you.

But if you want to tell him that you love him, then just tell him.

Tell him.

And he's sitting around.

Bridie.

Are you okay?

Can we talk?

Yeah.

That's his new bull.

To replace King Harold.

King Harold II.

King is dead.

Long live the king.

Alex, about the accident.

Jodie, it's okay.

I spoke to the cops.

There's something else.

Before the... My mobile was ringing.

And I went to pick it up.

I know I shouldn't have.

I took my eyes off the road.

I just... I just wanted to tell you myself before you found out from the

I'm not asking you to forgive me, but I just... I think you should go.

Stevie. Hi.

Um, how's Alex doing?

Uh, you know, so -so.

Can I have a word with him, please?

Um, sorry, he's gone to bed. He's exhausted.

Yeah, fair enough, yeah.

Um, can you just tell him that... Just tell him that I'm thinking of him.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks for ringing.

See ya.

Who was that?

Another condolence call.

Yep.

You haven't eaten anything?

Oh, I'm not really that hungry.

It's been a long day.

But thank you for kind of so much effort.

I've got some chocolate. I can go and get that if you want. Oh, no, thank you.

You should get some sleep.

Yeah.

I don't really want to be awake anymore.

But I don't really want to go to sleep either.

Kate, when I got angry at you before... Oh, hey.

It's a cold.

Friends get to yell at each other.

Would you like to pull a mattress in and sleep tonight?

Sure, if that's all right.

Don't we...

We're in a mess right now, Tucker.

You might not see her for a while.

But don't worry.

We'll look after her.

We'll look after all of you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I snuck out.

Oh. Should your husband be worried?

Not as long as I get back before he wakes up.

Thank you for what you said before.

You're right.

It's people that matter.

One person in particular.

Date you. Yeah.

My future's with him.

Wherever that takes me, it doesn't matter.

And you came all the way out here to tell me that.

Partly. I also need to get something from you.

Oh, there's a lot of stuff here.

You sure you're okay with this?

Well, I can't guarantee anything. I am only Mr. Tanaka's wife.

Yeah, but they liked it. They were impressed.

They're very.

But protocol is protocol.

And the visit didn't exactly run the plan, so... But who knows, you know, if

deal is good, I might be able to talk them round.

This deal is excellent.

Good. Leave it with me.

And I hope things work out for you too.

Oh, well, it will now that you're on the case.

No, I meant with whatever it is that you have to let go of.

Right. Yeah, well, maybe if I moved to Tokyo it'd make it easier.

Not bad, eh?

Pretty much.

Come on, let's get you home.

What would you like to do with this?

Could make a nice wall hanging. We're keeping it. We'll find some other

to deal with.

Or we could stow it away for another two years until Mr Tanaka reviews the

contracts.

Well, then again, maybe we won't have to wait that long.

I thought they were flying out today.

Must be our native charm. How could they resist?

What does this mean? Either they left something behind or our luck's about to

change.

Mr. Yamaguchi, Mr. Tanaka, welcome back. Welcome back, everyone.

Thank you.

Jody, I hope you're feeling better today.

Yes, thank you.

We weren't really expecting to see you again.

No, but it seems you have an undercover trade ambassador.

Very persuasive.

That's what you know about me.

We look forward to a long and prosperous

relationship with you.

So do we.

I

don't

know what you said to my wife, but...

I feel a weight uplifted from her, so thank you.

You're welcome.

We just found we had a few things in common.

That's all.

I hope one day you'll visit us in Japan.

Oh, we'd love to.

I'd like to eat dango and meat in Tokyo very soon.

Not so homesick today, eh? Thank you.

I actually am a bit homesick.

Apartment, shopping, friends.

This is for you.

For me?

You've helped me a lot.

I hope this can help you too.

Oh.

You'll see.

Thank you.

Amy. Good luck.

Take care of yourself. You too.

Wow.

See ya.

Do we bow?

You ready for a chat, Jodie?

Look, Jodie, I'll take a formal statement in a minute.

But there's something you should know.

Well, I've got some stuff to tell you, too.

Something happened right before the accident. Yeah, we know.

It seems Mr Ryan's vehicle was stationary on the wrong side of the road

hit it.

What?

We've had the initial reports from the autopsy. Mr. Ryan didn't die from the

impact.

It seems he suffered a fatal heart attack.

Oh.

Brought on by the accident?

No.

No, he was already dead before then.

We don't know for how long, 15 minutes maybe.

But maybe longer.

So I... I didn't kill him.

Wow. I was just worried because I thought, I

mean, I was looking at my mobile when I hit Harry.

So I thought maybe if I wasn't so distracted, I could have avoided.

Maybe you couldn't have.

But still, it is an offence, driving without you care.

But my guess is you'll never let that happen again.

Now for this statement.

Won't take long.

Amy's card said it's an old Japanese tradition.

They're so pretty.

It's a way of letting go.

Freeing souls.

Putting the past behind us.

We're trying to anyway.

This is for some men I knew.

May they have peace.

And their families.

And me, please.

What's yours for squirt?

Well, if I'm Catholic and Italian, the list would take hours.

Well, this is for Harry.

Goodbye, Harry Ryan.

Goodbye to one of a kind.

Give me condemnation Let me walk out of the storm

Don't wanna live in darkness Oh,

let me be transformed Let me find redemption

Oh, please let there be peace

Make the trouble go

give me hope give me love make it sweet from above take the
