Harry!

(glass breaking)

Harry!

How is he?

I don't know, the doctors are treating him.

What happened?

It looks like he's had a heart attack.

Pretty amazing woman, isn't she?

I knew there's a reason I
couldn't live without her.

And I know you wouldn't expect me to.

So I'd just like to ask her to move in.

The old homestead down the hill.

I know it's not that flash,

but we've had visitors stay there,

and it would give us all a bit more space.

That's fine, the homestead's great, Dad.

Might need a few repairs.

No problem.

Gungellan arbiters are on strike,

and it's the only place I could get a job.

There's something good waiting for you

just around the corner, I know it.

So, um, where's Rosie now?

She lives with my sister Michelle.

Everyone thought that was for the best.

No, I don't miss those days at all.

Crap.

You live for the rodeo.

(banging)

(horse whinnying)

Hey, Tess.

You know that calf that was born yesterday?

Well.

She's dead.

Very dead.

Was the mum okay?

She's fine.

And what about the others?

They're fine,
they're just standing around eating,

normal cow stuff.

Well, this could be the
solution to our poddy calf.

Why don't we team him up with Mum?

No more late night feeds, thank you.

I'll go get him.

Oh,
and the alpacas need bringing in as well.

Or you could look after Charlotte for me.

Absolutely no competition there.

Ah, this is for you, too.

(mellow music)

Oh, come on,
what's wrong with you two today?

That's it.

Hey!
Hey!

How's the city?

Bigger and smellier.

I'm glad I'm out of it.

I got you a present.

Oh.

Olives.

Feta.

Sun-dried tomatoes.

Parmesan and Camambert,
I even managed to get you

some of those marinated
artichokes you like.

I knew you missed them.

You know what?

I'll bring them over tomorrow night.

Why, what's happening then?

You're cooking me dinner.

Something with olives and artichokes,
I think.

Fair enough.

You're on.

See ya.

Come on.

What about washing powder?

Got it.

Flour?
Got it.

I don't remember seeing...

Terry,
don't go through the whole shopping list.

Sorry.

Look, thanks for having me along,

it's really good to be able to help.

Did you fill up with petrol?

That wasn't on the list.

C'mon, hurry up, will ya?

Oh, what is your problem?

This is Ken's place, he has been known

to have a drink or seven.

Oh,
which makes him really unusual around here.

Get out, hey!

Take it easy, Ken.

Go on, get out!

Hey, well,
we're just filling up, all right?

Clear off, you miserable bastards!

You're Ken Logan.

(gun firing)
(suspenseful music)

Come on, get in the car!

Come on!

Take it easy, Ken!

But he was a big rodeo star.

I don't care, if he shoots our bow,

we'll all be seeing stars.

Go on, get out!

(barking)

Hey.

How did you go, did you get everything?

Checklist Charlie here, no worries.

It pays to be thorough.

Any word about that maintenance job?

They called.

Right.

Well, a long way to travel anyway.

Especially on no petrol.

Well, I told you he was a nutter.

Who?

Oh, Ken Logan, he's going off again.

Oh, he was a crank even when I was a kid.

Ooh, there was this great dare.

Run in, grab something,
get out before he caught you.

'Course, he never did.

And if I ever caught you doing that...

Hey, I never said it was me.

Come on.

(unintelligible shouting)

I've got it, I've got it, I've got it!

Go on, get out!

Get lost, you little bastard!

(groaning)

Hey!

What happened, did you fall over?

Get outta here!

Get out!

Ken.

Hey, are you all right?

Jennifer.

Oh, you've come back at last.

It's not Jennifer, it's Stevie.

Come on, let's get you inside, eh?

Come on.

I'm all right.

Let's look.

Ah, you need stitches.

I need a drink, that's all I need.

(somber music)

You want one?

Ah, it's a bit early for me, but thanks.

So who's Jennifer?

Nobody.

Ah, you can go now.

Well, I owe you for petrol,
for this morning.

Whatever.

You know, I recognized you then.

It was years ago.

But I saw you bareback on
a bronc called Smiling Jack.

Yeah, bloody good horse.

It felt like you were on him for ages.

I got off him the minute I could.

(chuckling) My flaming hand got stuck.

Well, you set the record,
and it stood for yonks.

What was it, 90-something?

91.

So why'd you give it all away?

Buzz off, will ya?

Just buzz off.

When's the last time you had a meal?

I asked Nat to repair the race today,

you know what he told me?

That he's busy on other things?

No,
that you told him to ignore all my orders.

Listen, Sandra,
you got your own property to run, right?

Nick and I can handle Killarney,

and we don't need your input.

Oh, really?

Right, so if I find something broken,

I just ignore it and wait
for you to discover it

when you got 1000 head
of sheep on your hands.

Nat,
what did I tell you to do this afternoon?

You told me to check the yards,

make sure they were ready
for drenching tomorrow.

See, we got it covered.

So thanks for your help,
but next time, don't bother.

You two have been at it since I left?

Not all the time.

No, some of it you've been asleep.

Listen, it's not all one-way traffic.

(laid-back music)

You see?

This is your new mum.

She lost her baby,
and now she's looking for a new one.

(sighing)

We can't worry about one calf, Jod.

It's not the only poddy calf we've had.

No, you don't.

Hey, look, I got it, I got it.

Hey, uh, Jod, use this.

And what am I supposed to do with this?

You rub it on the calf.

The scent of the dead one will help

the mother to bond to it, you know?

I had to ask.

I'll put this fella into the crush, huh?

Oh, no thanks, Terry.

It freaks them out.

It's a stupid idea, all right?

Sharing the workers across both properties

makes sense, Alex.

Yeah,
'cause it saves you a whole pile of cash.

It'll save us both money.

It'd reduce our casual labor costs.

And we can cover for each
other if someone gets sick.

Hey, my ticker's the problem, not my brain.

Yeah, look, we were just...

You're at each other's throats.

You've been slugging away for weeks.

Now, look,
there's no pecking order here, all right?

It's okay, Dad.

It's not okay, Nick.

You're all good farmers, you.

Harry, you okay?

No, it's nothing,
it's nothing, it's nothing.

You got your pills?

Look, look,
just find a way to make it work.

Work together,
or it's not gonna work at all.

(mellow music)

Hey.

Get some food into you,

and then I'm taking you in to see a doctor.

Not a doctor.

It's only a cut.

What are you looking at?

You're one of the reasons I
ended up on the rodeo circuit.

Did you make a living?

Won a few events, got a few trophies.

But nothing like all this.

Here ya go, have one of mine.

I can't.

Of course you can.

You know what it's worth?

I couldn't say.

About five bucks.

Take the lot if you want.

You can't be serious.

Oh, it was just a few tricks with the nags,
huh?

It doesn't matter a fart
when it's all said and done.

Well, they were the best years of my life.

Well, if that's all you've got, girlie,

you've got nothing.

No, you're wrong.

Bugger all.

Wasted bloody years.

Wasted.

Don't tell me about wasted.

You can't even see past
the bottom of your glass.

Yeah, go on.

I don't need charity either.

It's for the petrol.

I don't know why I bothered.

(somber music)

(glass breaking)

(suspenseful music)

Ken?

Oh, geez, Ken.

Ken, can you hear me?

Jennifer?

No, it's Stevie.

I'll call an ambulance.

Ken?

Jennifer.

No, Ken, it's Stevie.

Jen, please, the pines, the pines.

Okay, I'm here.

Promise me you'll look behind the pines.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Yeah, I need an ambulance.

A man's unconscious,
Ken Logan's truck stop.

(sighing)

I've tried every Logan in the book,

no one's heard of Ken,
let alone a Jennifer.

They can't be rodeo fans, then.

No.

You know, maybe Jennifer is like,
an old girlfriend,

or, you know, his favorite horse.

Would he tell a horse
to look behind the pines?

Look, maybe The Pines is a pub somewhere,

and Jen was the barmaid or something.

What is up you today?

I don't know why we're buying into this.

I mean, Ken was a train wreck for years.

(phone ringing)

Drover's Run.

Yeah, speaking.

Shh!

Got it.

Thanks.

What?

The hospital said Ken's liver was shot.

He didn't pull through.

This place cleaned up all right.

We like it.

Thanks.

It keeps us away from you.

I'm worried about Harry.

He didn't look too good today.

I reckon you two arguing isn't helping.

That's what I want to talk about.

You offering to move out?

I thought we'd show
him we can work together.

Gotta bring in the two mobs

for drenching tomorrow morning.

Yeah, what time are you heading out?

Eight o'clock.

See you then.

Yeah, drop in any time.

We're starting at six.

I just said eight.

I don't trust her.

We'll bring in the first mob,

she can help out with the second.

A few hours of Sandra yelling
at me is all I can take, Nick.

You can't stand her being with Dad, can ya?

If you hadn't slept with her first...

This is about who runs Killarney, mate.

You care about that?

Do you realize you're in
a mine's bigger than yours

competition with a woman?

(chuckling)

I mean, you can't really blame the kids

for teasing him, he was pretty crazy.

Well, he didn't seem crazy.

Just kinda sad.

He told me that the rodeo
didn't count for anything.

But it did, for those who went to see him.

You miss it, don't you?

I'm not talking about me.

I realize Terry is trying to help,
but look at this mess.

He's gotta be stopped.

Ken had years left to ride.

Why'd he give it away so early?

Well, people have their reasons.

Well, maybe if I find this Jennifer.

You hardly know the guy.

Don't you think you're
getting a little too involved?

The guy is dead.

It's the least I could do.

You don't suppose it was the kids teasing

and stealing from him that
sent him over the edge, do you?

Well, if they were anything like

the little brats I saw today.

(somber music)

Did you put everything away?

Uh, yeah,
I was just looking for that old top,

you know, the one with the swirly.

Oh, I haven't seen that for years.

Not to worry.

And we cleaned up the kitchen for you,
Terry.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, I was gonna get 'round to it.

Yeah, 'night then.

Time for bed.

Oh, you go on,
I wanna watch the end of this.

What's the matter?

You've hardly said anything all night.

Nothing's the matter.

You'll find a job.

And what if I don't?

End up a bit down, drink's real easy,

get outta control,
start shouting at strangers.

No you won't.

How can you be sure?

'cause I don't sleep with crazy old men

who shout at strangers.

Coming?

Seen it anyway.

(somber music)

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

the Australian bull riding champion,
Ken Logan.

(crowd cheering)

So if I get this job with Bill.

Hey, Terry, you're, uh,
you're looking sharp today.

You reckon?

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought I might have been giving

the wrong impression, you know,

so I thought I'd decide
to do something different.

Show them I'm more
than just a station hand.

I have a good feeling.

Yeah.

(engine starting)

See you later.

I hope he gets a job soon,
he's driving me crazy.

(coughing)

You okay?

Yeah, Charlotte had a cough last night.

She's fine now, fast asleep.

It's me who feels horrible.

Guys!

The poddy calf's gone.

Well, the ungrateful little.

Thought you were mustering sheep

with the boys this morning.

Yeah, we are.

It's just, they've gone on ahead, early.

Well, might as well wait for them.

They'll manage.

No, no, I'll catch them easily enough.

Give them a nice surprise.

(somber music)

Hey.

Hey.

So, are we still on for dinner tonight?

Yeah, you bet.

Red or white?

Well, you didn't need to ride

all the way over here to ask me that.

I know.

So what will it be?

Both.

Could be a long night, then.

Right, well, I better get back to work.

I guess I better get back to work as well.

(engine revving)

See ya.

Anything I should know about?

Ah, no.

Let's go.

(horse whinnying)

(sentimental piano music)

If you're phoning road services,

I don't like your chances out here.

Actually, I'm phoning my mechanic,

to tell him he's a moron.

There's no signal.

I don't suppose you know
anything about engines?

Well, I know a bit about everything.

Happy to have a look.

Oh, you're a wonderful man.

It just kind of faded out and then stopped.

Oh, probably electrics.

Your fan belt's loose.

That means your alternator's not charging.

So what do I do, leave it here to rust?

There's a truck stop up ahead.

Nobody's home, but the tools will be.

I could give you a tow,
have you move off in no time.

Thanks.

Uh, would that be Ken Logan's place?

Yeah, but um, he's.

Dead, that's why I'm here.

I'm his daughter.

Wow.

I mean, um, I'm really, really sorry.

Yeah, so am I, believe me.

Jennifer, by the way, Jennifer Logan.

Jennifer?

Geez, what a dump.

Oh, it used to be a real money-spinner.

No other petrol for miles.

It wouldn't take much to
get it up and running again.

I just wanna sell it.

Well, I'm looking for a bit of work.

Maybe I could give you a hand.

When can you start?

Now, if you want.

All right, got yourself a deal.

Found something you like?

Uh, Stevie was with your
dad when he had his bad turn.

Stevie, this is Jennifer.

Jennifer.

That's fantastic.

Why is my name so exciting today?

Your dad was asking for you.

We didn't know he had a daughter.

Um, pleased to meet you.

I'm really sorry for your loss.

Thanks.

Sorry you had to be the one to find him.

So, Terry, um.

Everything is rubbish.

If it isn't nailed down, chuck it.

Mind if I borrow these?

Be my guest.

(sentimental piano music)

You know, I was a real fan of your dad's.

Take them, if you like.

He was a bit of a mess when I found him.

He thought I was you.

Really?

He asked me to look behind the pines,

does that mean anything to you?

It's the name of our family home.

End of Summervilles Road.

We haven't owned it for years.

Well, the message seemed really important.

He kept repeating it,
he made me promise to check.

Stevie, is it?

Thanks for all you've done,

but the message doesn't
mean anything to me.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got work to do.

Come on.

So where'd you find it?

In with the alpacas.

The silly thing got
herself caught in a fence.

Come here, darling.

Go on, have a drink.

(mooing)

Well, the mum's interested.

Yeah, but she's not.

Oi, back here!

I mean, maybe she's been hanging out

with the wrong crowd for too long.

What, she thinks she's an alpaca?

Tarzan thought he was an ape.

Maybe she thinks alpacas are really cool.

Seems a pity to shatter her illusions.

Hey, I took a trip out to your old house.

I found this under the cubby.

I found one just like it.

And a whole lot of other toys, as well.

Yeah, well, that was Brendan's cubby,

those are all his toys.

My little brother, died when I was eight.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's what you do when your kid dies.

Pack up their stuff and carry
it around with you as baggage.

What happened?

Well, Dad was driving the car too fast.

Mum never forgave him.

Better get back to work.

Well, maybe your dad was trying to

tell you something about the accident.

Maybe that's why he wants
you to look behind The Pines.

And maybe you should
just mind your own business.

(sheep bleating)

(honking)

(dog barking)

Alex.

Sandra catch up with you?

Oh, yeah yeah yeah, she's out looking

for a few stragglers.

Shouldn't be far behind.

You're not playing silly buggers again,
are ya?

It's sweethearts, Dad.

'cause she's here to stay,
Alex, get used to it.

Just as long as she knows I'm here to stay,
too.

I'm not going anywhere, either.

It'll take four of us to run this place.

That's right, as a family.

You trying to give him a coronary?

I've been winding him up since I was born.

It's a hard habit to break, all right?

So Harry reckons Sandra's
headed out on her own.

Better join her.

I knew you were gonna say that.

(energetic music)

Come on, get up.

(bleating)

You had to take them home the fast way,
didn't ya?

You had to take off early without me.

What, like you wanna spend
the whole morning with us.

Grow up, Alex.

Both of you just shut up!

You got yourselves into this mess.

Get yourselves out of it.

(sighing)

You don't give up, do you?

So why are you here?

'cause I had to see for myself.

I'm not sure you're gonna
find what you're looking for.

I don't even know what it is.

I thought maybe I missed
something the first time, but.

Where do you want me to start?

Get outta my way, will you?

Just get outta here and secure the ropes.

Will you give me a break?

You don't have the
strength for this sort of work.

Nick, can you just get out
here and give me a hand

before this Neanderthal
drags me back to his cave?

Do you know how boring
it is to listen to you two?

Where are you going?

I've had enough.

Look after Harry and Killarney on your own.

Nick!

Get back here, you idiot!

Not until we've done a deal.

From now on, we agree on what's to be done.

If there's any disagreements,
I get the deciding vote.

You'll side with him every time.

If you don't like it, I'm out of here.

While we're at it,
all personal abuse is banned.

You stupid git.

I heard that.

Yeah, all right.

All right, deal.

Now will you get back down
here and give us a hand?

Carry on.

(energetic music)

Grab that.

You two lift, I'll pull.

We'll have it out in five minutes.

All right.

You need milk, and over there is

one great big milkshake machine.

Hey.

Hey!

Saw this on television once.

Oh, so it must be true.

Yeah,
this animal thought it was human, right,

and once it saw its
reflection in the mirror,

it realized what a big
mistake it had been making.

Oh, like me when I pierced my eyebrow.

You what?

Well, this animal on TV, was it a calf?

It was a duck, but you know,
same difference.

I can't believe you're trying this.

Anyone tips off the Farmer's Council.

Well, it's Jod's idea.

If it works, it's great.

Besides, we don't have time to keep

chasing after a poddy calf.

Oh, um, I found this in the rubbish,
is it yours?

Yeah, thanks.

I must have dropped it.

Where'd you get it?

An op shop.

It's a piece of junk, really.

I'm gonna make up a bottle for that calf,
just in case.

(mooing)

See?

You're a cow.

So is she.

I know it's difficult, but sometimes,

we have to face who we really are.

(mooing)

So did you ever see your dad ride?

Yeah, a few times.

He'd hold me up on his shoulders

so I could watch the other competitors.

I felt safe up there.

Above everybody.

Yeah, I was pretty young myself.

I fell in love with it, I guess.

Couldn't wait until I was
old enough to compete.

God, I remember always
being afraid of the rodeo clown.

Yeah, you should wait until

they've had a couple of drinks.

Now that's scary.

Ah, this is crazy.

There's nothing here.

Yeah, there's gotta be.

You know, I was playing here when Mum

told me about the accident.

I just kept on playing.

Didn't want to believe
anything had changed.

That's when Dad started drinking.

He just never got over Brendan's death.

You know, the message wasn't about Brendan.

He was asking for you.

I know you think he was a hero,

but for me, he was just a drunk.

Now I know why it took you so long.

What sort of bloody stupid idea was that?

Perfectly good run up the main stock route.

Yeah, there is.

So what idiot told you
to take 'em up the gully?

It's not like you haven't
lived here forever.

We put our heads together.

Yeah, and we came up with a bad decision.

It was my idea, mostly.

I suggested we take a shortcut,

wanted to get back as quickly as possible.

The mob looked thirsty,
it seemed like a good idea.

What they said.

Yeah, well, it's good to see you

finally working on something together.

I'm not sure exactly what, but come on.

I'll run you a bath, have a bit of a soak.

Those boys are getting
you to work too hard.

I've had a lot to get through.

It wouldn't be fair if
I didn't offer to help.

Oh, I'm late.

Can't go like this.

Tess has been waiting years
for you to make your move.

This looks great, Terry.

Seemed a shame to throw it away, you know.

It's worth quite a bit,
just needed to be organized.

Okay, well, I'd better get going then.

I'll get you those trophies.

Are you sure you don't want them?

Yeah.

Hey, Jodi, what are you doing here?

Um.

I just wanted to return this.

It was a dare.

All the kids did it.

I forgot I had it until...

I felt so bad,
so I thought maybe if I returned it.

All the kids did it?

I better get to it.

You know,
when I snuck in to steal the buckle,

your father wasn't drunk or crazy.

He was just sitting there,
staring out at nothing.

Look behind The Pines.

So you're a journalist, huh?

How'd you work that one out?

Your dad's kept all your articles.

Wow.

Old bank books and statements.

Not much in 'em, though.

I hardly remember even writing these.

Something about a trust fund here.

Let me see.

This was my trust fund.

It's what got me through uni.

I always thought it was Mum's money.

Hey, Jodi.

Why didn't I know?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

Why didn't he tell me?

Maybe he didn't know how to.

You know,
I was about 18 the last time I saw him.

He said he wanted to
be part of my life again.

I told him I wasn't interested.

Well, maybe the trust fund
was his way to say sorry.

But it was never about the money.

I just wanted him to know that I was there.

That I was his daughter and I was alive.

He was always so focused on Brendan.

Sounds selfish, doesn't it?

No.

When I didn't hear from him again,

I thought he'd just given up.

That he stopped caring.

Things aren't always that simple.

I'm really sorry things
didn't work out better.

(coughing)

Hey.

Hey.

You look terrible.

I've got a cold.

What were you doing in the cellar?

Um, nothing.

You're hiding something, aren't you.

No.

Come on, show me what it is.

What's this?

A black opal.

Well, what were they doing in my cellar?

I was keeping them safe.

Waiting for the right time to sell.

Are they yours?

Yeah, I earned them, fair and square.

All right,
maybe not everyone would see it that way,

but I'm telling you, they were owed to me.

Stevie.

They're for Rose.

So one day I can turn up
and tell her I'm her mum

and give her the house and the clothes,

the life she should've had with me.

Well, you don't need to buy her love.

I'm not, it's just, that was the plan.

I mean, now I don't know if
it's such a good one or not.

What if I turn up and tell her the truth

about who I am and she doesn't wanna know?

Well,
what if you don't and she finds out anyway?

So I'm stuffed either way.

I want you to take some time off.

You go see her.

The school holidays are coming up.

I don't want to upset
her while she's at school.

Fair enough.

You know they're bad luck, don't you?

Yeah, I heard that.

(sighing)

Thanks for fixing the car.

Don't mention it.

I've decided not to sell.

Oh.

Yeah.

Had a look at the books,
and you were right.

This place was a real money-spinner.

Yeah, well, with the right manager,

you couldn't go wrong.

Know where I can find one?

Oh, well, I could, uh, I could give you

some names and numbers, I suppose.

(somber music)

(crowd cheering)

You're kidding.

You spent the whole
afternoon getting a calf

to look in the mirror.

Saw it on television.

And now we know it
works on ducks and calves.

I mean, of course I helped it along.

You know, I just started talking,
I talked and talked

until finally it just ran over
there and started to suckle.

Mm, fancy that.

Hi there.

Hey, you look pretty happy.

Well, that's because you are now looking at

the new manager of the
Gungellan Truck Stop.

What?

I pitched the idea to Jennifer myself.

I told her if she sold it
she'd get nothing for it,

but with the right manager,

the place could be easily turned around.

Terry, I'm so proud.

So will we get cheap petrol?

No.

Just asking.

(mooing)

What do you reckon?

Turn around.

Go on.

It'll do.

(chuckling)

Come on.

What?

Thanks, mate.
Yeah.

(mellow music)

(sneezing)

I'm so sorry I'm late.

The mud, sheep, you should've seen me.

I had to have a shower before I came.

You ready to cook?

I should've called,
I've got Charlotte's head cold.

I don't think I'll be much fun tonight.

I'm sorry.

(sneezing)

You okay?

I hate colds.

Want me to go?

No.

(sneezing)

I'll take a rain check.

Okay.

See ya.

All right.
