Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

We have to do this,
or else she won't make it.

(baby crying)

Come on, Tess.

I don't know about you,

but I don't care whose plane it is.

Yeah, well, can you fly this thing?

Sure.

(plane engine roaring)

I didn't know you were licensed to fly.

I'm not.

There was someone I
was madly in love with once.

What happened?

The timing wasn't right.

You asked me to stay.

Yeah, of course.

I don't want you going anywhere.

(Tess chortles)

Hey.

You're back.

Yeah, I thought you could use a hand.

Yeah, well, thanks.

(Stevie groans)

We were lucky.

So, so lucky.

It was meant to be the two of us.

(sober piano music)

She's not here anymore.

(birds squawking)

(approaching footsteps)
(dramatic music)

(dogs barking)

(dishes clanking)

Stevie.

Oh, geez, you scared me half to death.

What are you doing?

I thought you were asleep.

Yeah, well, I was.

Huh, well, I was just getting a beer.

You want one?

It's the middle of the night.

Look, I know you don't
live by other people's rules,

but there are good habits,

and there are bad habits, so.

(door squeaks and slams)

(approaching footsteps)

Hey, stay right there.

Who are you, what do you want?

Oh, I'm sorry, please,
I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm looking for Jack McLeod.

Uh, well, I'm sorry but Jack's dead.

Can I help you?

I'm his daughter.

I'm Tess McLeod.

And I'm Jack, his son.

Don't know what I was expecting,

just not this.

So why didn't you call first?

Why'd you just turn up out of the blue?

I figured, my father would take

one look at me,

and know I was telling the truth.

Oh, it's not that we don't believe you,

it's just-

A shock.

Yeah.

For me, too.

Look, it's late, I should go.

No, you can't go, yet.

I mean, you just got here, so please.

Okay, what'd I miss?

Ssh (murmurs).

Actually,
there's something I should show you.

Mom gave this photo before she died.

Oh, that's definitely Jack.

You don't have any other family?

Part of the reason I came looking.

But, did your mom tell Jack about you, or?

Don't think so.

Well, her and Jack had already broken up

when she found out she was pregnant.

Said she didn't wanna
blackmail him into anything.

And she was too proud.

Or stupid.

Either way, by the time she had me,

Jack had married someone else.

A city girl, mom said.

Was your mom's name Lily?

You knew her?

It was just something
Jack said a long time ago.

(soft music)

That's it, you're staying.

Gonna make up a bed in the spare room.

Hey, he can always bunk
in the shearers quarters.

No, the spare room will be fine.

Thanks.

Listen, uh,
Look, I-

Please, you go.

My head's spinning (chortles)

I don't know what to think, what to say or-

Same, here, it's weird.

I feel like my brain's one place,

and my body's trying
to catch up. (Chortles)

(chuckles) I'm glad you came.

Me too.

Well, this is it.

Ah, sorry it's a bit messy.

It's not as if you were expecting visitors.

No.

These are for you.

Great.

Well, goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

Well, I think it's romantic.

It's bullshit.

You don't believe him.

(tuts)

Well,
I guess he did turn up out of nowhere.

Where else do long-lost
relatives come from?

Cheap novels.

Well, Tess, if he's not your bother,

he's a good-looking stranger.

Either way, it's win-win.

Night.

Night.

You think I'm wrong to trust him?

It doesn't add up, why now?

When would be the right time?

Well, why didn't this Lily tell Jack?

Why'd she keep it a secret for so long?

Well,
why have you kept it a secret from Rhys?

People have their reasons.

We all know that.

Nght.

Night.

Well, maybe it's true.

Jack McLeod was pretty popular

with the ladies.

That mad sowed enough
wild oats to make porridge.

Oh, Terry.

Well, think about it.

He married Prue, then Ruth,

and in between,
he's having it off with this, Lily.

Oh, you don't know that for sure.

What did Jack tell you about it?

(exhales sharply) Nothing, really,

he just mentioned her one time.

In what context?

It was a long time ago.

Yeah, well,
it must have been something saucy,

otherwise you wouldn't remember.

Go to sleep.

Come on.

Ssh!

(soft piano music)

(birds chirping)

So can you see the family resemblance?

Yeah, I don't know.

Fat cheeks maybe.

I'm not talking about Charlotte.

So your business is in the city, Jack?

Yeah, I run my own courier company.

Right, doing all right for ya?

Pretty good.

We've got big plans.

I want to expand, and offer more services.

Nice.

That's a good idea.

More risk.

I think I can handle it.

You spoke to a financial planner?

Not yet.

I know someone, if you're interested.

Thanks, that'd be great.

What's your accountant like?

Really boring.

(laughing)

Nah, he's not bad.

You just need a top-notch accountant

if you're gonna expand.

Nick!

Yeah, leave it out, mate.

Sorry, Jack,
de's not happy unless he's boring someone.

No, it's all stuff I've gotta consider.

Right now, though, I've got a sister

and a niece I wanna get to know.

(Tess chortles)

Well, she's a handful.

Bomb will keep you busy, too.

Thanks for the brekie.

Well, you don't have to go, yet.

What's the big hurry, mate.

Let's go, there's stuff to do.

Righto.

Come on.

See you, gorgeous.

Bye-bye, Alex.

Bye-bye, Alex.
Nice to meet you, Jack.

Yeah, nice to meet you, Alex.

See you around.

Nice to meet ya.

Bye.

This is uncle Jack.

It's nice of you to make

that bloke feel welcome.

I think he's lying.

Why would he do that?

I don't know.

When we get home, though,
I'm gonna make a few calls,

run a check on his company.

(scoffs) You're getting more
and more like the old man

every day, Nick.

You saw her.

She wants him to be her brother,

even if he's not.

And what if he is?

You go poking around looking for dirt,
what for?

Give the guy a break.

He comes up clean, I'll be his best mate.

(upbeat music)

Sure you wanna come with us?

It's only a bunch of cows.

Don't wanna let you out of my sight.

Now that I've found you,

I'm scared you'll disappear,

and this will all turn out
to be a dream. (Chortles)

Ow!

See? No dream, ha-ha.

Look, Tess, the thing is-

Hey, Tess,
you know that cheap cattle Stevie bought?

Well,
there's a reason they were such a bargain.

(cows mooing)

They just freaked out,

and tore through the fence

like it was paper.

You bought wild cattle.

Well, they seemed tame enough at the time.

They just need to be handled correctly,

and they'll be educated in no time at all.

Didn't know you could educate cows.

Oh, you know just the basics,
mooing and makeovers.

Well,
we need to get them back to the yards,

put them in with the other mob.

Hopefully, they'll get the idea.

Think you two can handle that?

Yeah, 'course.

Come on, you can give us a hand

with the fence.

That's fair.

(upbeat music)

So you just pull the handle back.

Right.

See it?

Wire goes tight, see?

I've got a confession to make.

You're not a real country boy,

I already figured that out.

(Jack chortles)

You know the test of being a true McLeod?

You gotta ride a horse.

Before with Nick and Alex, I lied.

My courier business isn't
going as well as I made out.

But I'm really trying
to turn things around,

and now that I've met you-

Well, why didn't you just say so?

I didn't want your friends to think

I was a loser,

Or that I was looking for a handout,

because I'm not.

We've got nothing to give, anyway.

This place is run on
overdrafts and goodwill.

I'm really sorry.

That's okay.

Nick does come on a bit strong, sometimes,

but you know we're family,

you don't have to lie about that stuff.

(cow mooing)

Must just strayed from
the rest of the herd.

I'll get it.

(Jack groans)

Jack!

(grunting)

You're all right?

Ah, I twisted my ankle.

Here, let me see.

(grunting)

Here's a damn city boy.

Come on, can you get up?

Yeah.

(grunting)

That's it.

I'm fine.

You're my brother.

I'm allowed to fuss, sorry.

What?

Nothing.

I should get back to it.

You're gonna be okay?

I might suffocate from kindness,

but apart from that.
Hey!

You gotta be quicker than
that to catch me out, sis.

Next time.

You gonna be long?

Ah, no, why?

There's a lot to catch up on.

Well, there's plenty of time for that.

(suspenceful music)

So what are we gonna do

with this bunch of troublemakers?

I'm training them to be better behaved.

Put a couple of the wild
ones in with the tame ones,

hopefully,
they'll pick up some of their good habits.

Yeah, and how do you know

it won't work the other way around?

You know,
the wild ones corrupting the rest.

Won't happen.

All it takes is one bad cow.

Yep, they'll be eating the wrong grass

and mooing all night.

Exactly.

Better find them some role models, come on.

I wanna get this job done,

and spend some more time with Jack.

So how's his ankle?

He'll be okay.

(suspenceful music)

Come on.

Get out.

Hey, I've been thinking
about what you said last night.

About your bad habits?

People do have reasons
for keeping things secret.

That's right they do.

They also have reasons for revealing them.

Don't start, Stevie.

What does he want?

Jack doesn't want anything.

He's already told me that.

(sheep bleating)

(laughs) Tess, do me a favor-

You do me one, butt out.

(suspenseful music)

Jack, you're up!

Tess said you hurt your ankle.

Yeah, I'm not good as just sitting around.

Thought I'd set the table for lunch.

Oh, no,
that cutlery's only for special occasions,

but if you wanna make yourself useful,

you can help me in the kitchen.

Sure.

Come on.

Come on.

Done.

Right, well, you integrate the mob.

I'll make lunch.

You know,
for such a cool-headed calm person,

sometimes you really
don't know when to shut up.

Some things need to be said.

Yeah, well, there's ways and means.

Meaning?

You're a bit blunt.

Oh,
that must be my luck of etiquette training.

Oh, that's where I can help you.

Etiquette, I know about.

Really?

Yeah, I was Miss Gungellan

for like a whole five minutes.

So, Tess's mom was Jack's second wife.

Mm-hmm, they had an
intensely passionate relationship.

You mean they argued a lot?

(Meg laughs)

Hey, you're supposed to be resting.

More fun out here,

getting filled in on everyone's lives.

Sounds like my mom's relationship with Jack

was a lot like your mom's.

She told me about an argument they had

one night, a real doozy.

Well, finally they made up,

and were horsing around,

only, mom had a cigarette in her hand,

and accidentally burned
him on the bum. (Laughs)

She said she had to get ice,

he was in so much pain.

Left a scar.

Then, they were at it,
again, horsing around.

You see,
that's the bit I don't wanna know about.

Yeah, well no one wants to think

about their mother that way.

And when you leave a room,

never turn your back.

Polite ones, rude ones, we're done.

Always keep your back straight,

and your head up, maintain eye contact,

and never forget to smile.

And what if you're having a bad day?

Proper ladies don't have bad days,

their servants do.

(scoffs) It's time for lunch, I'm starving.

(scoffs) Never say, "I'm starving"

and never walk away from someone

when they're talking to you.

How else are you supposed
to get them to shut up then?

You nod politely and-

And smile.

Yeah, I got that.

Of course, the other way is to trip

him up in a lie.

It's not easy fronting up to someone

you don't know,
and claiming to be a relative.

Hey, Nick, feel free to help,
if you want, mate.

When was that?

And all you think about is,

whether they'll believe you or not,

or whether they'll tell you to bugger off.

That takes a lot of guts, Nick.

Thanks for that, you're a good man.

Hey, mate,
we haven't quite finished here yet.

Gotta go, back soon.

Yeah, no she's fine, mate,

I'll be fine.

Yeah, don't worry about lunch.

I'll shoot something.

So how long are you staying for, Jack?

As long as he wants.

A few days, then I really should get back.

I've got a business to turn around.

And what color are your cars?

Sorry?

Well, you run a courier business, right?

Uh, yeah, white mostly.

You don't sound so sure.

I have some red cars, too. Why?

Well, I want a red car,

they go faster.

How do you figure that?

Well, they're more likely to receive

speeding fines and get stolen.

Exactly! Not that I could afford

to buy a car worth stealing, anyway.

I've only saved a couple of grand.

It's nice to dream, though.

Yeah,
owning a car that someone wants to steal?

That's not what I meant.

Of course it wasn't.

Hey Nick, you're here for lunch

as well as breakfast?

I've already eaten, thanks.

Tess, can I have a word?

Sure.

Excuse me.

(baby cooing)

Yeah.
Hey.

He lied to ya.

I'm sorry?

I ran a check on his company,

it's bankrupt.

Yes, I know, he told me.

He felt pressure by your questioning.

He felt like he had to say

what you wanted to hear.

So, it's my fault he lied?

Well, you backed him into a corner.

He's not who he says he is, Tess.

Oh, Sorry.

I thought you were in the study.

No, that's all right, Meg.

Nick was just leaving.

Wait up, he rocks up with a photograph,

and a half-ass story,

and suddenly you're all over him.

He's my brother.

You don't know that, there's no proof.

I don't need proof, because I believe him.

I don't know.

I gonna go and ask him.

What give you the right?

Uh, he's taking advantage of you.

He's telling the truth.

He said something before that he couldn't

have known, unless he is who he said he is.

What'd he say?

It's personal, I'll tell Tess later.

(Nick chortles)

Meg?

Jack McLeod did have a
cigarette burn on his bum.

Well, how do you know that?

So you two were together once,
romantically.

What does that prove?

He told me about this wild woman

who burned him on the bum with a cigarette.

He thought it was a great joke. (Chortles)

Her name was Lily.

Jodie!

I better go.

Nick, wait.

Come and talk to Jack properly.

Yeah,
he's not the person you're making out.

I got stuff to do, Tess.

Why are you being such an idiot?

Why are you being so gullible?

Well, you heard what Meg said.

Doesn't prove he's Jack's son.

If you want a signed declaration,

there isn't one.

He's telling the truth.

For your sake, I hope so.

Everything okay?

Ah, yeah, it's Nick.

He's having a bad day. (Chuckles)

Call me stupid,
but I think he's keen on you.

Oh, it's a long story.

He must spend most of his day

fighting the boys off you.

Yeah, right.

Afraid he's gonna have to deal with me now.

As your brother,
I get to veto anyone I don't

like the look of.

(grunting and coughing)

Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry

You're a bugger.

(Jack laughs)

(chuckles) Come on.

(chuckles) You're a sucker.

Yeah? (Laughs) Ow!

Sorry you had to find out that way.

It's no big deal.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Maybe we should talk about it.

Mom, get over yourself,

not everything in the
universe revolves around you.

I mean,
I haven't told you about all the people

that I've slept with.

Well, that's different.

I mean, who have you slept
with that I don't know about?

Mom.

Look I have to finish this, okay?

Can you not mention it to Terry?

Sure.

Who do you reckon cooked up
the old Jack and Meg scenario?

Same person that got
dad and Sandra together?

(scoffs) You know, you can't take life

seriously if you think there's surprises

like that around the corner, can ya?

Admit it, Nick, you went too far.

(scoffs) Just looking out for a friend.

(grunts) I love it when you're wrong.

I wasn't wrong.

I just didn't have all the information.

Well, it's not looking good for you now,
though, is it?

With Tess. I mean you insulted her brother.

Supposed brother.

(laughs) There you go again.

Look, I'm no expert,

but I reckon you're jealous, Nick Ryan.

(Nick scoffs)

You don't like the idea of sharing Tess

with anyone else, do ya?

You're right.

You're no expert.

You're gonna have to apologize.

I'll drop around later.

Yeah, take a six pack with you.

I will.

Notice my entrance?

(grunts) It's totally wasted on you.

I have to reevaluate my entire life.

Everything I've grown up
with has just been blown away.

(sighs) Your mom slept with Jack McLeod.

How do you know?

Gossip travels fast.

He paid for my school fees.

So?

Well, was that payment for, you know?

(scoffs) I doubt it, Meg's a proud woman.

Yeah, but he was the boss.

Not all the time, obviously.

Oh, thank you,

that makes me feel so much better.

(laughs) Look,
your mom had a past, get over it.

I can't.

I'm not gonna be able

to reminisce about my school days

without thinking about who paid for them.

I thought you hated school.

Hey, you turned your back.

What happened to that smile?

(chuckles)

(giggles)

(laughs) Oh,
can you pass me Timmy, the tiger?

It's her favorite?

Sure.

There you go.

Thank you, there we are.

She looks like you.

You think so?

In the eyes, definitely.

Hm, I think she looks like her mom.

You must miss her.

Yeah, I do.

Come with me.

I wanna show you something.

Night night.

Night.

That's me when I first arrived.

Notice the city clothes?

(both laugh)

I wonder what happened to that top.

He was beautiful, wasn't she?

Yeah,
only person I know who you could light

up a room wearing jeans
and a flannelette shirt.

Ah, I see I was right.

Are you interested?

You can tell me.

Yeah. (Chuckles)

Right, that's it, show is over.

No, this is nice.

No, it's getting late.

Plenty of time to look at photos tomorrow,
come on.

Okay, then.

Night-night.

Aren't you going to bed?

No,
I've got some paperwork to do downstairs.

Well, do you want a hand locking up?

This is the country.

People don't lock up here.

Good night, then.

Night-night.

Sweet dreams.

Well, I heard Sandra's picked

a new lead hand at Killarney.

Well, the next thing you know,

Harry's done a complete backflip.

Terry, there's something-

And picked the new hand himself.

Do you believe it?

Only me.

Oh, come to help with washing up, have we?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, right.

Well, I'll go and watch the telly then.

Here, it's my car savings,

I want you to have it.

Why?

Well, I know it's not much,

but you've sacrificed a lot for me and-

What are you talking about?

Well, Jack and the school fees.

You think I slept with Jack

so he'd pay for your schooling?

It wasn't like that.

Well, what was it like?

I mean, he was in charge,

you were working for him.

We had a brief affair, it didn't work out.

That's life.

But you stayed working here.

We were still friends,

and I loved this place.

I needed a job.

So why did Jack pay for my school fees?

Because he knew I couldn't afford it,

and he could.

It was kindness,
nothing more, nothing less.

Terry,
there's something I'd like to tell you.

I know about you and Jack.

How?

Well, I wasn't really watching the telly.

I think I guessed a while ago.

Well,
you can't live with someone for a while,

without getting to know them a bit.

So it doesn't worry you?

Well, no point in worrying
about what you can't change.

Past is the past.

(soft music)

Hey.

(gasps) Oh, Stevie, you're doing it, again.

Uh, not quite, this time I'm replacing

the beers, and it's not the middle

of the night, either.

You want one?

No, thanks.

Can't let you go to waste now, can I?

(monitor hissing)

(rustling)

(dramatic music)

What are you doing?

I thought I heard Charlotte crying.

No, she wasn't.

I could hear through the monitor.

I couldn't sleep.

I thought I'd check in on her
before making a cup of tea.

Do you want one?

Sure.

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)

(muffled screaming)

Sorry.

(grunting)

Help!

Help! Help!

Somebody!

Help!

Tess! Tess!

Tess?

(door knocking)

Stevie?

Tess!

(shrieks)

Get off me! (Shrieks)

(muffled yelling)

(TV is drowned by music)

(groaning)

(breathing heavily)

Stevie.

Move here.

It's all right.

(mumbles) Help!

(coughs)

Okay, are you all right?

Yeah, come here. (Pants)

I can't get it.

It's a hardy odd.

(approaching footsteps)

Who is he, really?

I don't know.

What do we do?

Hush.

What is he looking for?

I don't know.

(ominous music)

(step squeaks)

Sorry.

(Tess groans)

Let's try the window (pants

(both groaning)

There's no drain pipe.

We'll kill ourselves getting down there.

(Tess exhales sharply)

(car engine roaring)

(Tess pants)

(car door slams)

Stevie.

Where does it go?

I don't know, quick.

This is hard to get quick.

(door squeaks and slams)

Nick.

Just the man I wanted to see, actually.

A beer?

Definitely.

(ominous music)

No way for a lady to leave the room.

It's a pity Tess is asleep.

Well, Charlotte missed her afternoon nap,

and was a bit grizzly.

Tess is pretty worn out.

(laughs) Right.

Can't be easy.

Running your farm,
bringing up a little one,

all by yourself.

Tess does a pretty amazing job.

Hey, I hope we didn't get
off on the wrong foot before.

Nah, don't mention it.

If I was in your shoes,
I'd be doing the same thing.

She's lucky to have
someone looking out for her.

(thumping)

Bloody possums in the roof,

kept me up half of last night. (Chortles)

Don't know how Tess sleeps through it.

Yeah, we had them as well.

Had to set some traps.

I'd have to try that.

No, I'll give you a hand, if you want.

That'd be great.

Ah, sorry, Nick.

I'm a bit knackered, myself.

I should go, let you get some sleep, hey?

Yeah, righto, well, sorry about that.

Nah, nah, we'll do it again.

Yeah.

Take it easy.

I will let you out.

Yeah.

Keep those beers cold. See ya.

See ya.

(lock thuds)

(ominous music)

Stevie?

Tess.

Hang on.

(approaching footsteps)

Stop right there!

Okay, don't get excited,

I'm not going anywhere.

Too right, you're not.

We should, both, just calm down, Tess.

Calm down?

You got a bloody nerve. (Pants)

Whatever is in that box,

you just put it down.

It doesn't belong to you.

Yes, it does.

It belongs to my mother.

Your beloved father used her,
said he'd look

after her, and never did.

She earned this.

Come on, sis.

You're not my brother.

I could be.

Why did you lie?

Tess?

You're right?

Come here.

(Stevie groans)

Stevie?

(pants) Put her down.

Please, she is just a little girl.

Just getting to know each other

a little better, aren't we Charlotte?

(baby fusses)

Please, put her down.

Give me the gun.

(Tess panting)

Give me the gun, Tess,

and I'll give you Charlotte.

(crying) Give me Charlotte.

(baby crying)

You stay there.

Hey.

Get out of there.

But you stay there, okay

(Nick grunts)

(mellow piano music)

It's okay.

It's over.

(Tess crying)

Shh shh.

It's all right.

(baby crying)

It's all right, darling.

(car engine roaring)

Is Charlotte asleep?

Safe and sound.

Thanks, Meg.

I feel like such an idiot.

Tess, you weren't to know, okay?

Yes, I was.

Police officer said it
was just over two grant.

All that for just a little bit of money.

Yeah, well,
he obviously thought it was a lot more.

So who was he, really?

His real name is Jason.

His mom knew Jack, but he's not Jack's son.

So stupid.

Are you okay?

Yeah, thanks, Meg.

Come on.

Yeah,
we should probably hit the road too, Nick.

Ah, look what I found.

It was a piece offering for Jack.

Ah Jason, whatever his name is.

Well, it would be a shame
to let them go to waste.

Around here, no chance.

Sold.

(grunts) I gotta get a glass.

What?

Ladies don't drink from bottles.

Well, just a moment, Stevie,

there's no ladies here, right?

Oh-

And they don't swear, either, Stevie.

They don't punch blokes, either, right?

Oh, only ones that are trying to rob them.

Well, what is the point of being one, then?

I have no idea.

Cheers!

Cheers!
