McLeod's Daughters

Previously on "McLeod's Daughters."

I laid one final punch on him.

He fell back and bumped his head and he died.

And that's why I normally don't drink.

Hemp?

As in marijuana?

Hemp as in minus marijuana, no THC.

I took this when they were so tiny.

Oh, they're cute, they're green.

You know you should get that one framed, Tess.

I think this one's more dramatic though, first leaves, ha.

Nevermind.

I'll get it.

But it's okay, Tess.

A lot of people photograph their hobby.

It's okay.

Claire McLeod. It's not just a hobby, Alex.

It's a legitimate crop, paper, plastic, clothes.

Hey, I reckon that alpacas take better baby photos,

you know, Tess.

Oh, no, sure, no worries.

Hemp is naturally anti-bacterial!

Yeah, so is chlorine.

So what?

Okay, Peter, see you tomorrow.

Peter, huh?

So how's it going, is it working out with him?

There is a hemp clothing factory in Perth.

Did you know that the first jeans were made of hemp?

Ooh, I can't wait

to get my hemp undies for Christmas then.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Nick.

Mm-hmm. You always get

guys calling up all the time?

All the time, mate.

Yup, okay then, I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks, bye.

Nick's coming over with the testing equipment first thing.

Oh, and Peter's coming over to check up on Brave Joe.

Oh, and Alex is gonna weave some hemp baskets.

Early start tomorrow, Alex.

I'm very tired.

Get away, I'm just having a lend, Tess.

I know, it's fine.

Well, can't you take a little joke?

No, because you can't take me seriously.

Of course I do.

Good, then you won't mind me wanting an early night.

Good night.

I'm telling you, I've got nothing.

I'm stuck with this stupid Q.

Well, you've got an E and a T.

What words can you make with that?

Net.

Three big points, wow.

Well, you could use my E

and make queue.

Are you sure that's spelt right?

It looks stupid.

Well, we speak a stupid language, sorry.

But wouldn't you spell queue just Q-U-E?

No, the first U does absolutely nothing, right,

but it follows the Q around everywhere.

I knew a guy like that once. (Chuckles)

Sis.

Hey. Sean, what's happened?

Nothing, just looking for somewhere to crash, you know.

Oh, well, what's wrong with home?

I hitched out here, got lucky, first truck I saw.

Nothing.

Dad's on a bender.

Okay, well, you did the right thing.

Thanks, I just, you know,

I gotta get away for a bit.

Well, there's always plenty of room in the penthouse.

Good morning.

What's for breakfast?

What do you reckon?

See here?

If the solution turns yellow,

your hemp's in the safe zone.

Oh, and if it's not, then this crop is very illegal.

Which will make the local hippies very happy.

Yup.

How you going, Tess?

Hey, Alex. Nick.

Alex.

Ah, on your old chemistry set, huh?

If it doesn't smell bad or blow up, it's not working.

Good on you. Yeah, very funny, Alex.

Tess, listen, I'm here to be supportive, okay?

No, you're not, you're sending me up again.

No, no.

No, it's a neighborly visit.

It's very serious, I mean I'm here to help and...

Is that meant to scare the birds

or they're just meant to die laughing?

It does the job.

What's the matter?

Yeah, well, it's not doing the job properly, Nick.

Something's getting at your crop.

They're not bugs.

Hemp's insect resistant.

Looks like 'roos.

Yup.

You gotta get rid of 'em.

Shoot Skippy?

No way.

Okay, Tess.

I'll get you an emu.

Then you can blow away the entire coat of arms.

My daddy likes a few drinks,

and then he likes a few more.

Well, that's why Sean came to me,

and he might have to come to me again,

maybe once or maybe twice.

But well, I know he's been bad, but I promise,

well, I vouch for him.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

Hey, Beck, do you want troughs or fences?

I'll toss you for it.

Give me a tick, I'm gonna run Seany to the road

so Bub can give him a lift into town.

Okay, well, count me in.

We can do the fences first.

Do you need any money?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Well, what about to get lunch?

Yes, mom, I'll get a sandwich.

You know, Bub will be here any minute.

I guess I'll see you tonight then, eh?

Ah, I don't know.

We'll see what happens, eh?

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Oh, and sis, thanks a lot.

So what's the story?

Dad needs a moving target

now that Mark and I aren't there anymore.

But he's got his big sister on his side now, right?

All it needs is two minutes in the microwave.

Well, tell me what I've done to deserve this

and I'll do it again.

Don't forget your other things.

No, right-o.

I ironed your jeans.

Did you iron my briefs?

Do you want me to?

Meg.

Do you think I should change my shirt?

Well, it's just a bit grubby,

and I'm not so sure about the color.

If you want.

Hi, Peter.

Drop your inside shoulder.

I'm here to pick it up.

You gotta use your inside leg and your inside rein.

Yeah, I know how it's done.

I always use my legs more than reins.

I never met anyone under the age of 50

who still does that.

It's just a different way of training.

Brave Joe still rolled over the hocks perfectly.

He wasn't holding his hind end properly.

That's why you gotta use more hang.

I've been doing some stock work.

I'll show you.

Yeah, I'm trying not to do too much,

keep his mind clear.

Hmm, good.

He's a got a bit of cow in him.

Coming along quite quickly, don't you think?

Yeah, he's doing pretty well, I guess.

No need to lose any sleep.

Right.

Well, I've seen all I need to.

You want some lunch?

Thanks, I better not.

I've got some locals to track down, business to drum up.

Sounds good.

I'll catch you.

Here, Tess, move your hands further that way.

No, I don't see how this is helping.

The kangaroos are gonna be moving.

They're not just gonna be standing there waiting for me.

Try not to hit those posts 'cause it could ricochet.

It could be dangerous as well.

Tess, move your hand up closer towards the barrel.

Yeah, quit showing me how to shoot.
