Previously on MacLeod's Daughters.

Jake, what are you hiding?

I don't know everything about you.

And that's okay.

We don't have to know each other's secrets.

Sure. You got family hassles?

Me too.

The last job I had, I didn't really quit.

I pinched some stuff.

I got caught.

I used to shoplift with Brick.

I miss him so much.

I'm really sorry.

Sorry.

All my photos of him are so old.

You can keep it.

Why don't you tell the boss you saved your stadium?

He'll love it.

He'll see you when I see you.

He will.

You ever want your old job back?

You never know.

I'd like to meet you.

What?

I guess you're coming when you're ready.

I'll get by.

How much do you reckon you'll get for him?

Four grand tops for Rocket, I reckon.

Five at least.

They're all she saved from the meatworks.

Think you're dreaming, Claire.

You've scrubbed up pretty good.

I'm not saying you haven't done a good job, considering you're operating on

nothing but hormones.

Hey, Nick, how you going?

I thought you were at that organic farming conference with Pat.

I was until I saw the registration fee for both of us. And you heard Dave was

going too.

You got today or tomorrow?

Today? Why?

You lost Kosh, actually.

Ah, that, uh, property developer play.

Properties, breweries, studs. What do you reckon he's doing out this way?

Oh, he heard there's a couple of imported thoroughbreds on the market.

Oh, he probably heard about Rocket. Told you we'd make big bucks here.

I reckon that's more his style.

No offense, Rocket.

Hey, she listened to that, Rocket. Come on.

Becky.

Damien, isn't it your own Jake's old boss? You remember.

Is this her?

Becky Howard.

So, you're the one I have to thank for saving the horse we had stolen.

Ah, no problem.

My father, Milos.

This is Claire McLeod and Alex Ryan.

Hi. They helped take care of Jazz about two years ago. I did some business with

Harry a while back.

No wonder my son has stayed away so long.

Not me.

Jake.

You're Jake's father?

He hasn't told you.

Um, well, really nice meeting you.

It'll take some time to find your heart and come back home.

You could walk for miles... across every river and find you're not alone

cause i'll be there

You know, he would have told me the truth when he was ready.

This isn't where he belongs.

You know, he'll have his fun, but then he'll be back running the business for

Dad.

Maybe you don't know your brother as well as you think you do.

Becky, he lied to you.

How well do you think you know him?

Why would you pretend to be someone else?

You mean you've never wanted to?

You're lucky.

Maybe Jake doesn't think much of his family.

To make out you're not even related.

Well, I can see how it happens.

I bid $510 ,000, $20 ,000, $30 ,000. And I bid $530 ,000, and I bid $30 ,000 at

the bid. And I bid $530 ,000. Any further bidding?

All done at $530 ,000.

Sold for $530 ,000.

Number, please?

Number 175, Mr Milos Kosciak. Thank you, sir. I reckon they pay too much.

It's the Kosciaks.

No such thing.

Bet your slab of the usual will get more than 5 ,000.

You can't drink, Mum. Oh, it'll keep.

Next horse in the catalogue is lot number 27, a five -year -old chestnut

prepared by McLeod Ryan Equine Services at Drover's Run. How much do you want my

bid? I have $3 ,000 in the bid now. I bid $3 ,000 now. Four.

I bid $4 ,000 now. Four. Five. Five out the back. Five. I bid $5 ,500 now. I bid

$5 ,500. The bid's six. I bid $6 ,500.

I bid $6 ,500 now on the left. Seven in the centre. I bid $7 ,500. I bid $7 ,500

now. The bid's on the right. And I bid $7 ,500.

Be quick, anyone else?

That's $7 ,500 once.

$7 ,500 twice.

The third, the final call.

That's $7 ,500.

Number three, more than one.

On the right, you've got your next barrel.

Careful! I am!

Okay, next one. Whoa, that was a little close.

Stop!

Kylie,

that was a stop sign.

It was a hay bale. Hay bale's a stop sign.

Barrels are give way and that bag of feed...

from a bus stop can you park? Why can't I park somewhere else?

Because everywhere else is full.

No, it's not.

Do you want to pass this test or not?

Brett told me to drive years ago.

Well, obviously not enough to get your license, so let's try it again.

How far away from a bus stop can you park?

I don't know.

Me either.

I might go look for my old learner's manual.

hasn't she ever heard of hanging?

Mum, what do you think the going jail time for shoplifting is?

Is there something you want to tell me?

This is a court summons.

For Kylie.

Where'd you get this?

I kind of accidentally found it in her backpack.

Well, you better kind of accidentally put it back.

But what am I supposed to do if I try and talk to her and I've gone through

stuff? Which you did.

Mum, if she doesn't go, she's going to be in even worse trouble. It's in three

days, and I really don't see her packing, do you?

Must be why she's here in the first place.

If we try and force her, she could just do another runner.

Yeah, exactly.

We might need to be a bit sneaky about it.

Oh, sneaky.

Better than good?

I'm glad to go with it. Hey, hang on a minute.

I thought it was ginger beer.

So, Claire, you ready to start weaning scenics yet? We brought her and Blaze

into the yard.

Oh, maybe in a couple of days when Tess gets back from gabbing with her hippie

mate. I know it's hard, but it's not like they're never going to see each

again. Well, we can't do any more breeding with Blaze until it's done,

Haven't you got a bet to settle? It's not charging your interest.

You're a bit thirsty, are you?

Bottle a day.

You don't want Jodie and I to take care of this?

Horse yards. We'll meet in an hour and start work.

Meg, are Jake and Terry still cutting wood?

Yeah, as far as I know.

Something wrong?

It seems that Jake isn't quite very serious.

Couldn't stay away, huh?

Becky!

So I'm your idea of a bit of fun in the country, am I?

How long were you thinking of plumbing it with me?

You know what? You can take your money and your lies and you can go straight to

hell, Jake Koschek.

You all right?

I mean, I know he lied to you, but it's not like he's a slave trader or an

acrobat or anything.

He's rich.

And last I heard, that was a good thing.

That's not the point, Jodie. This changes everything.

He's still Jake.

I knew he wasn't telling me everything about his family, but I had no idea it

was because he wasn't going to be sticking around long enough for it to

for me to matter. You don't know that. There could be other reasons. Yeah? Like

what?

I'm thinking.

I haven't trusted many men in my life.

But I trusted him.

How's the night? I'll live.

Harry has no idea who my father is. That's not why I got the promotion of

leaving Stationhand.

Thought never crossed my mind.

It would have eventually.

You can find somewhere to go start the mess.

Yeah, I got the message.

The bloke at the house said you'd be out here.

It's great to see you, James. What did you say to Becky?

Just the truth.

She seemed to appreciate it. Stay away from her.

Damien might be a little heavy -handed, but he only wants what I want.

To have you back working with us.

You've done the right thing. Learned the business from the ground up. So if you

want a property of your own to run, it's yours.

You've proved you can do it.

What's he proved?

That he can cut wood. How many lawyers has he handled? How many accountants?

many shareholders meetings? That's not what I want. When are you going to

forgive me?

Your mother and I weren't happy.

You're old enough to understand these things now.

No, Dad.

You weren't happy.

Mum was only miserable after you left her and us.

Look, he's talking.

We're staying at the Edgemont.

Come and have dinner tonight.

We'll talk business.

OK, Dad, I'll have dinner. But as for business... Leave it.

Till tonight.

When you came home... Please.

Damien!

I mean, it's just so unfair.

Becky has all the luck. Jake's nice, he's good -looking, and now he's

rich, too.

We should see if his brother's single.

Poor Blaze.

How do we explain this to her?

It's a rite of passage, really, isn't it? We all have to grow up and leave

sometime. Of course we do.

Isn't that right, Kylie? You're doing fine.

Sure I am.

You guys want to get on the gate?

Come on, babe.

We've got a nice big paddock waiting for you.

Nice and slow.

Steady on. Here we go. It's all right.

Steady on. It's all right.

Here we go.

Here we go. Good girl.

Here we go.

Hold on.

Jake.

It'll get in here.

Better put her in the hilltop paddock.

She hears Phoenix when she's hungry, she'll want to go to a... She's going to

okay, Claire.

I know.

It's all right, it's all right.

You bought a rocket?

Needed a horse, I got you a horse and made you and Claire look good in the

bargain.

I've got to tell you, mate, you haven't paid.

Oh, good. Your profits from the sale can go towards buying in there.

So you and I just bought a horse from me and Claire.

You got it in one.

Harry warned me to keep an eye on you.

Wait till he hears about Jake.

If he wants to pay wages to a kid who could buy Kalani twice over, nothing to

with that.

Maybe it's true.

One of those stories about Koshak being a bastard behind closed doors. Maybe

that's why Jake took off.

I could think of a worse father to have.

You reckon your real father might be a zillionaire?

Could be.

Could be a bum on a park bench, too.

There's only one way to find out.

Here you go, Blaze.

Eat. I always do when I'm depressed. It helps.

If you're going to hit me again, let's give me some warning first.

If I'd told you who I was and who my father was, you'd never have given me

time of day.

Yeah, but you didn't give me the chance.

Come on, people look at him and either they're my new best friend or they think

he must have got his hands dirty to get that money and they assume that I'm the

same, but I'm not.

No, you're a liar.

I told you I had family hassles.

Yeah, and I thought you meant like mine, dirty poor with crappy parents and

dropkick brothers.

So that's got to be worse than anyone else's family?

You don't have a license on misery.

You didn't tell them about me because I'm an embarrassment. Oh, don't be

Beck.

Well, prove it then.

Introduce me to them like you would a proper girlfriend.

No problem.

Dinner tonight.

I'll get Dad to send a car for you at six.

Fine.

It's all right.

I know.

She won't eat.

She will.

Give her time. She'll be fine.

Sure.

I hope you get weaned every day.

You know, Kylie, once you get your license, you'll be able to run around

town, go driving.

Oh, yeah, you'll need to have your license if you want to be a Gillaroo.

And we can make your appointment for you on the net. You wouldn't even have to

go in.

Thanks. You guys are so great to me.

I bet they're just as great at home.

I tend to get lost in the shuffle there.

Now, what you want is a dress that says, I look good, but I'm not trying too

hard. You know, you all may be rich, but I am just as good as you are. I don't

think my dresses can even spell.

Oh, what about this one?

You would look great in this.

Yeah, but what does it say?

It says, I'm classy, but not pretentious.

Come on, it's telling Jake you better hang on to a good thing.

what you see there's so much more to me

inside it's hard

They're not going to know what hit them.

Hey, it'll be fine, you'll see.

Like I said, I'll pay for the whole thing, and it's a really nice place.

I've never been there, but I've heard it's really nice.

Tonight?

Yeah.

Then you're asking me.

Oh, there's no time I'll explain on the way. I just say you'll come.

It's for a good cause, I promise.

Got whales, koalas, endangered tree frogs?

Not quite.

If I've got you for company, how can I say no?

but there's one person.

Edmund's dress code must have changed.

What do you think?

Too trashy?

Maybe a little.

Good.

Well, if Jake thinks he's not embarrassed by me, this will prove it

the other.

Bye.

I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

Problem?

No.

I mean, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Right.

I guess I'll just have a bread roll and a glass of water then.

Oh, my.

What is she wearing?

That's not what I chose. So that's your endangered tree frog?

I take a dink now, more like. I take it that you've never been here before,

Becky. No, the local pub does me.

Yeah, me too.

I took the liberty of ordering.

Hope you like blue swimmer.

Oh, what's that?

Crabs. So long as they're not catching.

Ah.

Well, button your eye.

Chardonnay from the Clare Valley, 1976.

Can I grab a beer, please?

Yeah, make it two.

Oh, no.

I think they're ordering the blue swimmer. We should get that, too.

You sure you're still paying for this?

No.

But this is an emergency.

I hear you got promoted.

Yeah, lead station hand.

I bet you've turned that place around already.

You won't have heard yet, Jake, but we've moved into the Japanese feedlot

market.

I closed the deal last week.

That's something you could look after, Jake. I mean, you love travelling, trips

to Japan every year.

Excuse me.

So you just...

Fill in your full name and your date of birth and we'll fax it through.

This is great.

Thanks, Meg.

Hi, everyone, just me. I went to this amazing seminar on biodynamic

I can't wait to tell you all about it. OK.

And you'll never guess who's here.

Dave. Dave!

Hope the weaning went well.

Oh, Meg, tell Claire the horses will be fine. I did.

Bye!

You finished yet? Videos wind up.

The popcorn's going cold.

Just about.

All done.

OK, they'll call back tomorrow with a time for your driver's test.

You going for your licence?

Meg's helping me. Thanks again.

You know you've got to go to your nearest police station. Not this time.

Oh, yeah, you do, because when I... Help me, Terry.

I know what I'm talking about.

Enough butter on the popcorn?

Yeah. And salt?

Oh, yeah.

You don't want to wear a suit, work in an office?

Fine, I understand that.

Run the studs on him.

You're a lunatic cowboy his whole life, are you, Dad?

Let people do what they're best at, which is why I'm doing all the talking

now. Let me.

What are fingers for?

Perhaps you prefer something simpler, Becky. You're fine, all right?

Tell you what, I wouldn't say no to a bowl of shit.

Neither would I.

Never understood these things either.

Oh, man.

It's like a car crash. It's awful, but I can't stop staring.

The old man seems to be enjoying himself.

Yeah, at Becky's expense.

He couldn't give a stuff about her. He was too busy paying his son off the

to try and get what he wants.

And does he?

Mostly. He does it fast at the end of the day.

Come on, a chance to work with all those slower friends?

How can you say no? I thought I already did.

You don't get it, Jake.

No isn't an option.

You've got responsibilities.

Why should I do all the hard work?

Because you're the one that wants to be first in the line to get all the slaps

in the back. Not that there ever are any, Dad.

Listen to it.

Doesn't sound like a family at all.

You sound exactly like mine.

Damien's missed you, Jay. He'd never say that, but he has.

And I've missed you.

Come home, please.

Go, Jay.

What's this joker think he's playing at?

The money's on the table.

That's the final offer.

Right.

You don't have to lie about how much you missed it.

Could you grab me some tomato sauce while you're up?

Beck, I'll join in, but then I'll do what he does.

What? This act of yours cannot make me embarrassed by it.

I never will, Beck.

It's all right.

Morning, Anne.

Haven't you got a home to go to?

Well, to keep you company.

I think someone ought to help Jodie with something.

Yeah, Becky's dinner with Jake's family.

That'll be a hoot.

You know, he must really hate his father to design him like that.

I can understand.

If you'd never found out about Harry, Would that have been better than finding

out now?

No, I'd rather have known from the start.

I mean, now it's just a lot of questions, Claire.

What's he like to starters?

I mean, is he the kind of guy who's going to care if his grown -up son turns

all of a sudden?

He doesn't even know I exist. I mean, he's got his own life, his own family.

And all I know is he's the kind of bloke who gets a woman pregnant, And pisses

off.

No, Prince, mate.

You're still flesh and blood.

You can't change that.

No matter how much you might want to.

It's all right, Phoenix.

It's all right.

I'm not blind, Jane. I can see why you want to stay out here.

I don't think you do.

Well, um... I should go. No, please, stay.

Another beer.

This has gone far enough.

We came all this way for you.

I thought you came to buy a horse.

And to talk some sense into you.

Look, you don't understand what I want.

That's your problem, it's not mine.

So let's talk about what you want.

Why should we?

And no one's ever asked me. You stayed with the business.

It was obvious what you wanted. I wanted to respect.

You think Chopping Wood makes you a better person than me, Jake?

I think you think you want the local tart.

You've got to be kidding yourself. Watch it. For what?

Damien. For what?

Oh, come on, Dad. She's a gold digger. You should know. You married enough of

them, didn't you, mate?

Stop it, folks. Get off.

I'm done.

Well, um... Mr Koshek, thank you for dinner. It was

a lovely evening.

I'm sorry.

Rebecca.

I should go after her. I'd better thought out a joke.

What Damien said... It's not you. I know.

Now do you understand why I don't show up from the rooftops on the co -shack?

Fighting at the dinner table in Violent Brothers? I've seen worse.

There's nothing you couldn't have told me about.

I would have understood.

No one noticed the beer and the chips.

I mean, Jake and Damien, that really wasn't even a fight like I'm going pub

standards. They think I'm trash. I figured I'd give them trash.

No one thinks you're trash.

Jake does.

I thought you said he didn't care about how you acted last night.

Exactly. And if you were going to rebel against your family, wouldn't going out

with a girl like me be the perfect way to do it?

The old man just sat back and watched them both go for each other's throats.

Sounds strangely familiar.

Almost felt sorry for Damien.

Jake being the favourite.

Yeah, you'd know all about that one, Nick.

You'd think I was Dad's favourite.

You got the business brain like him.

And a smashed up leg he couldn't stand the sight of. Yeah, which he blamed me

for. You were still the favourite.

Not that it matters anymore.

You're the number one son now.

You get a choice of fathers.

Whatever you want. I don't have time.

Oh, I think you'll have time for this.

$50 ,000.

Spend that to cash.

All you have to do is turn your back on Jake and walk away.

Have you heard any news about my driving test? Yeah, actually.

They said there might be a problem.

What do you mean?

Well, you know when people apply for licences, they do routine checks,

outstanding fines, criminal offences.

What did they say?

That you have a court case pending.

You didn't tell us the whole story about shoplifting, did you?

Are you going to tell my mum?

Don't you think you should do that?

She's had so much to deal with lately.

I'm freaking everything. I just don't want to make things worse.

You know what? She'll probably just be so glad to hear from you. She won't care

about all that other stuff.

Do you think?

Trust me.

It's worked for me a few times.

How's she doing?

Yeah, she's fine.

Don't try and chase her. Try and cut her off before she gets to the hilltop

paddock. She's waiting for her mum.

Go get Meg. I'll get the ute.

Kylie?

It's all right, Phoenix.

What happened?

Got caught in the group.

It's all right, girl.

It's all right.

It's okay, Blaine.

Poor girl.

It's all right. Good girl.

Good girl.

She's going to be okay.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Blaze might hurt herself if she tries to get through the fence.

Well, should we move her away?

No, no, cut the fence and we'll get her closer to Phoenix.

Your mum will calm you down, won't she, hey?

I've got a spanner, hacksaw and crowbar.

I will try to undo the bolts of the spanner.

Won't budge.

Try the hacksaw.

We got it.

Back we go.

Back we go.

Come on.

Back we go.

Good girl.

Good girl. There you go.

Good girl.

Well done, Meg.

Well done.

Poor thing.

Now we'll just have to separate them all over again.

And after all they went through to be together.

Well, I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few days, so... Claire, sooner

or later.

Yeah, later.

Hey, Mum?

It's Kylie.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Of course I'm fine.

I missed you too.

I couldn't believe it. Mum wasn't mad or anything.

That'll wear off soon.

It was good having you here. Yeah. Not all the time, I bet.

Well, some of it.

Bye, Becky.

Thanks for, you know, everything.

Take it easy.

You should have this back.

No, you take it with you.

I can't.

You can give it back to me someday.

Well, we better get a move on or else you're going to miss that bus.

One last driving lesson before I go.

All right.

We're just to the gate.

Whoa, okay, stop it.

What did you forget to do?

Rear view mirror.

But try it again.

Hey.

Hey.

That's some night, wasn't it?

Still talking to me?

Not if Damien has anything to do with it.

You never used to be like that.

We were really, really close as kids, especially after Dad left.

Stuck together, you know.

Had to.

It was a mess.

Dad used to throw money and presents at us.

It was a good fix, everything.

We used to have to lie awake at night, listen to her cry herself to sleep.

I'd never do that to anyone, especially you.

That's why I didn't tell you about them.

I don't know them.

Only you do.

47 ,500. Is there any advance on 47 ,500?

I'll bid 48 in the middle. I'll bid 48 a bit for Storm Cloud.

48 ,000 once.

48 ,000 twice.

The third to final call at 48 ,000.

Sold.

Sold at 48 ,000 for number 179.

You've got a good eye, Jack. I'll give you that. Ah, well, it's Becky's choice.

What do you reckon, Damien? Value's money?

If you're wondering where it came from... Oh, I'm going to let Damien

more of the financial side of things from now on.

If you ever feel like giving him a hand... I know where I can find you.

Mr Pershing?

I could still stop that check, you know.

You going to?

No.

It's Dad's money anyway.

He put it aside to buy Lucy a car.

Lucy? She's younger than I am.

You don't want to know? No.

So this is the real thing?

It'll happen, you know.

I'd better go.

Catch you.

Bye.

Now that we get you home, huh?

what you see don't judge there's so much more than me

inside it's hard
