Territory (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

1
- [horse neighs]
- [Daniel] Help!
- Shut up!
- Mate, what are you doing?
I want you to remember
whose show this is, rich boy.
Your old life. Do you miss it?
I'd rather be out here. With you.
[Emily] G'day, Sandra.
I have some things I'd like to discuss.
I'll send the chopper for you
in the morning.
[Graham] What's your plan, Sandra?
You have a coastline.
We should build a port.
Shit.
[Campbell] They're all pricks, Em.
You're better than
the lot of them combined.
We both are.
You just cost us a $15-million muster
Money's got nothing to do with it!
- [Graham grunts]
- [Colin] Your brother understood that!
Dezi, when you're in my place,
you get to be your own man, all right?
Think you can handle that,
take on that responsibility?
True God.
[Keeley] Us traditional owners
haven't seen our profits.
So, where's our money?
You! You got our money.
I did my job.
But it's the Trust that pays them, not me.
You know what your problem is?
You forgot where you came from.
You wanted me to stay a Hodge?
What kind of legacy do we have?
Stealing? Lying? Bottom feeders.
[Susie] I want to run the biggest station
in the world.
You gonna get that by chasing bulls?
By being tougher, smarter,
and doing everyone's jobs
better than them.
Susie. You cut Susie in.
[Vernon] You're that Lawson kid.
I'll give you double for
any Lawson cattle you bring in.
[Sharnie] Looks like
someone beat us to it.
[Rich] Who the hell are these guys?
[birds squawking]
[helicopter blades whirring]
[Marshall] We've been following
these guys for ages.
And I can't see jack shit out here.
No yards or nothing.
No idea where
these mad bastards are goin'.
Stealing road trains
full of Marianne cattle,
this must be a big operation.
[Rich] We'll just hang back.
Keep watch and suss them out.
[gauge beeps]
- [radio static crackles]
- I'm getting low on fuel, eh?
Yeah, well, mate,
you're the one flying around
stealing croc eggs, wasting fuel.
Stop complaining. We got paid.
Let's put the chopper down, yeah?
Jump in with us.
- [Marshall] Yeah, copy that, croc hole.
- [beeps]
Take the wheel.
Take the wheel!
He can pilot choppers good, that Marshall.
What else he good at?
I don't know. He's your brotherboy.
What?
[kisses]
[Marshall] All right, you two.
- I'll set her down off to your left.
- [radio beeps]
[birds squawking]
Dad lets Pop beat the shit out of him.
And we just look the other way.
You can't save other people, Suse.
What are we supposed to do?
You dodge the shrapnel
and you just get on with it.
[birds squawking]
[insects chittering]
- [grunts softly]
- [flies buzzing]
[groans softly]
[breathing heavily]
I'll be seeing you, kid.
[bird calling]
[dogs barking in distance]
[Colin] What, are you gonna sleep
through the work day now?
Why's everything got to be
a fight with you?
Jesus.
Hay dealer just called,
cancelled our delivery.
Miller's moving against us.
'Cause of you.
He's president now 'cause of you.
Where's your wife gone?
She took off in that Kirby chopper.
I don't know where.
She's a tick.
She doesn't want you.
She wants this place.
Once she's done with draining us,
she'll just find herself a new host
to start leeching off of.
For Christ's sake, wake up, mate.
[birds squawking]
[pilot] We're just approaching
Ms. Kirby's now.
[Sandra] I remember when my father
first brought me out here as a child.
This old Aboriginal man, Button Up,
he laughed at me.
Said I had hard feet like a bullock.
I was embarrassed.
I didn't want to be compared to a cow.
Then my father asked him what he meant.
Button Up said that I walked on the land,
not with the land.
I may not have grown up here,
but I'm from here, in my heart.
I don't want to leave a legacy
of land destruction.
That's why I'm moving my company
away from fossil fuels.
I'm consolidating our investment
into sustainable land, stock management,
renewable energy,
and my charitable foundation.
Like Button Up, I want my company
to walk with the land.
[Emily] It's a beautiful, beautiful place.
[Sandra] Mmm.
There's not many people that intrigue me.
[chuckles]
[scoffs]
What is it about you?
I don't know. I'm just a cattleman's wife.
Well, I was a front-row spectator
to the Colin and Graham circus
at the Cattlemen's Federation vote.
The Lawsons are a spent force.
I'm sorry to say we're not. No.
Not by a long shot.
We're ready to go when you are.
[Sandra] Great.
Come on, then.
[horn honks]
Quarantine check, they're busted now.
What the hell?
[Sharnie] They're waving them through.
Shit.
Who are these blokes?
[Marshall] I don't know.
But whoever they are,
they've got some serious connections.
Let's see where they're going.
Rich, they were just let through
by government officials.
This is the proper black market.
We get in their business,
they'll fuck us over.
What do you reckon?
Rich, this is serious.
We always said
we weren't gonna get greedy.
I mean, this was all your idea.
Now you're backing out, are ya?
Yeah, mate.
Mate, they've done
all the hard work, okay?
All we gotta do is
we see where they yard them
and then we move in,
I mean, that's not greedy.
Vernon offered you double
for Lawson cattle.
They're Lawson cattle.
And you're a Lawson.
I mean, technically, you know,
we're just taking
what already belongs to ya.
[engine whirring]
[clanking]
[cattle mooing]
[Tex] Hey. How'd you go
at the federation meeting?
Nothing.
Could be something big on the horizon.
Like what?
I'll know more this arvo.
One more mouth to feed, eh?
Oi. Oi! What are you doing?
Wash that soap off
before it streaks the car.
Nah. I don't want to wash this car.
That's a gammin job.
I wanna be a ringer.
You wanna shut your hole
and finish that car.
And when you've finished that,
I've got another job for you.
You see them calves over there?
- You wanna be a cattleman, right?
- Yeah.
You clean up their shit.
Make sure they get fed and have water.
Dezi.
Listen.
When my pop got this station,
Blackfellas said he sold out.
Whitefellas said he got it
because he's a Blackfella.
Same thing happened to me
when I went to boarding school.
They said I was there because
of a government handout.
You can't win.
You make no excuses.
You work hard. All right?
Then no one can say anything.
Back to work.
Go.
[Sandra] One thing I can't stand
about the Top End [sighs]
the stink of testosterone.
- [Emily] The smell of bullshit.
- [Sandra] Hmm.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [birds squawking]
What do you want, Sandra?
You've hung in there for 20 years.
What has that got you?
I saw the way that Colin looked at Graham.
Daniel was the future
and now Marshall is your step-son.
Not your daughter Susie and not you.
If you wanna discuss Marianne Station,
you should talk to Colin.
Walk away from them.
Come work for me.
I want you to run the pastoral arm
of my company.
[laughs]
I told you,
I'm just a cattleman's wife, Sandra.
I wouldn't offer you the job
if I didn't think you could do it.
But you're turning me down
because you've got your eye
on exactly what I do.
The biggest cattle station in the world.
Do I?
[laughs]
There you are, Emily Lawson.
Now we can talk about
why you're really here.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [cattle mooing]
Where's that Nolan?
We've come for our money.
I don't know.
He's gone for meetings.
I'm taking his motor car hunting
as part payment.
You coming or not?
Nah. I gotta stay here.
Gotta clean them cattle troughs.
Hey, Uncle.
Tex. We mustered your country last month.
[laughs] You one of them
rip off fellas, too, eh?
Ease up, old fella, I just work here.
So, you're getting paid, too, huh?
He's paying whitefellas, not Blackfellas.
You hearing this?
Nolan can teach you kardiya way.
But don't ever forget
that you're still a Yapa.
You tell your boss man
I'm taking his motor car.
I can't let you do that.
That's a 120 grand Cruiser.
It's not your business.
Pay no attention.
You coming, Dezi?
[Tex] Oh!
[Mickey] Stupid ass.
[engine starts and revs]
Marianne has debt. Bad debt.
I can take care of that.
We set up a corporation.
Five seat board.
My son and I hold two seats.
Lawson family holds three seats.
I insist one is for you.
Colin has the other,
and whoever else he wants.
But we make it so it's your daughter.
That way, the family holds
the balance of power.
You can overrule me anytime you like.
Or vote with you and screw Colin.
[cattle mooing]
[Rich] All we gotta do is
we come back tonight after they leave,
we load up the cattle,
we take them to Vernon's, boom!
That's money in the pocket.
If you're man enough to do it.
[Marshall] You mean
if we get away with it.
Yep.
- [brakes hissing]
- [cattle mooing]
Then maybe we go our own ways, eh?
One truck's plenty. We get in, we get out.
They're just sitting there.
One truck.
And see what happens.
[men shouting indistinctly]
- You blokes are pussies, you know that?
- Make the call, Rich.
[phone dialing]
Hey, brother. How are ya?
We need to get out of here.
Yeah, I'm well. Excellent.
I can't just leave him. He's stuck by me.
Well, he's gonna get us killed.
Let's just do this one and then
I don't know.
Beautiful. I love that.
Hey, just confirming that price.
Yeah, you said you're gonna
pay double for Lawson cattle?
Yeah, Marshall Lawson will be there.
Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
We'll see you tonight, mate.
[Sharnie] Rich.
- Don't take both.
- [Rich] Ooh.
That's a nice trade.
Just following Dr. Feelgood's advice.
Hmm?
No? Marshall?
Snack? No?
You're a barrel of laughs, aren't ya?
Eh, eh!
Good fun, you lot.
Never any fuckin' fun
with you two though. Mmm.
Mmm.
[cattle mooing]
[men whistling]
- Our car now.
- Yeah.
[all laughing]
[animal screeching]
[birds squawking]
Hey, any luck out there, youngfella?
[laughs]
[Dezi] Nothing.
I'm gonna catch the biggest fish.
- All right.
- Just watch and learn.
- Oh, cool.
- [laughter]
Go on, show us, then.
Oh, yeah?
Must be this country don't know you.
Must be you smell like Nolan too much.
[all laughing]
You know, that Nolan,
we might fight this way, that way,
but he's still family.
This is his country, too.
He's got story for here.
But he's already too busy
chasing that white man's story. [chuckles]
He's always got them boots on.
Might be he got real soft foot.
- [laughs]
- But you know what, youngfella?
You gotta feel country
so the country knows you.
Yeah, see? Mmm.
[bird squawking]
[sighs]
Sandra?
What's the offer?
A port right here.
And a road leading to it.
All the rest will still belong
to you and your family.
Our Environmental Impact Statement's
approved by government.
We're ready to go.
[Nolan sighs and clears throat]
Nolan.
Hey. This port?
Not only will you be
the most powerful Indigenous man,
you'll be the most powerful
cattleman in Northern Territory.
Colin Lawson, the others,
they won't have what you have.
If I was a whitefella,
I'd say go for it, Sandra.
- [sighs]
- Blow it up.
Build a port.
- Make shitloads of money.
- Yeah.
[chuckling] Nolan, come on,
I thought you were a cattleman.
On that, I've got 500 weaners
I was going to agist.
How about as a sweetener to the deal,
you take them?
Fatten them up. Sell them back to me.
Two grand a head.
That way, you'll have the money
to build your herd. Or, you know,
either way, you get your station
up and running.
You know, I used to camp here
in dry season with my grandfather.
Hunting.
Fishing.
Crabbing in the mangroves.
The welfare mob used to chuck out
boiled lollies, like bait.
Or lure.
Chuck the Aboriginal kids
in the back of the truck.
Take them away from their country.
Then take their country.
You chucking me a boiled lolly, Sandra?
I'm giving you an opportunity.
It's up to you.
[helicopter blades whirring]
[Bryce speaks
Warlpiri Aboriginal language]
We've been asking Colin Lawson for the key
to go hunting, but nothing.
[clanks]
He forgot this still Blackfella country.
- Leave the gate open.
- [laughter]
[birds squawking]
[gun fires]
Hey, good shot, Uncle.
- Yeah. Thank you.
- [laughs]
[Bryce] That's our country, that was.
[Mickey] That was good. [laughs]
[in Warlpiri] Hey!
We have come in peace.
I brought others here with me.
Please don't put a curse on us.
I am their protector and guardian.
I'm introducing
the Traditional Owners for this area.
[all shout]
[Bryce, in English] You see that cave,
Dezi?
Sorry place, that one.
Many years ago,
bad business happened there.
All over from there, right up that way.
[in Warlpiri] Okay, youngfella,
we gotta go now.
[in English] Hey, Uncle. Dingo.
- [in English] Where?
- There, look. Straight up.
- [Bryce] Uh
- There, straight up.
[Bryce] Yeah.
Who's that bloke?
Just another mixed-up whitefella.
Elton. Lives out here.
We leave him alone, he leaves us alone.
[Dezi] What's he want?
[Bryce] Elton.
[Elton] You got any tucker and smokes?
I got something you might want, Uncle.
Yeah, and what's that?
Found a horse on Hodge land.
I'll give you the saddle.
For trade.
Hey, youngfella.
Bring that meat over. For this fella.
[Sharnie chuckles]
You got no shame making this feed?
You don't own it.
Bully beef stew and rice
was never ceded, Marsh.
You mob took our land,
now you're taking our feed as well.
Always was,
always will be Blackfella food.
Hey, we don't have rice, all right?
So, simmer down, Aunty.
[both chuckle]
[Rich whistles]
Come here, beautiful.
Hmm.
How you doing?
- Good. Yeah.
- Good? Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
You're a dog, you know, Marshall?
Rich. Don't start this again.
[Rich] I'm getting sick
of this little rich boy
playing Playing wannabe gangster
and then backing out
'cause he shits himself.
I'm not playing anything, mate.
I just know what blokes
with guns and money can do.
What are you still doing here, then?
We'll do it. Don't need ya!
- [Sharnie] Rich.
- You want to go with him?
- Go. Go on.
- [chuckles] No. No.
I don't want to go with him.
[Rich sighs and sniffles]
Why don't you go crawl back
to your step-mummy?
Yeah?
Are you banging her, too?
What the fuck is wrong
with your head, prick?
Oh, there he is.
Come on, Marsh. Come on, mate.
Tell me. Man up.
Tell me.
I'm not some roo.
I know something's going on with you two.
Rich. Nothing's going on.
You're a liar.
Don't lie to me.
Mmm.
I thought we were
supposed to be family, eh?
Family, you know? A unit.
I trusted youse and you do this to me.
Rich, we
We didn't
Yeah.
But you wanted to, eh?
Thought you was my brotherboy.
Hmm? Eh?
You both screwed me,
stabbed me in the back.
Both of ya.
- Rich, it's not like that.
- Don't.
You better go on, mate.
[engine starts]
We'll take the truck tonight.
[cattle mooing]
Do you know what you're doing?
If we don't rejuvenate the gene pool,
we'll have inbred cattle
and our meat will be shit.
I'm turning Marianne around,
and I need bulls for that, Lachie.
[bulls bellowing]
I'm looking for bulls
with a bit of attitude
that won't get pushed around
by some young buck out in the paddock.
Like those!
Those are our bulls.
- [Hank] G'day, Suse.
- Uncle Hank.
- Mate, nice hat.
- [laughs]
[Campbell] What do you reckon?
EBV's a bit low, a bit rubbishy.
Susie, right? Em's girl?
Is your mum here?
I'm here.
Representing Marianne's interests.
- Oh, are ya?
- Yep.
Gonna turn the place around?
We're just fine, thanks.
Well, good luck to you, Ms. Lawson.
[cow mooing]
[Bryce, in Warlpiri] Here!
Come, my people.
Come and grab some fresh meat.
- [in English] Hey.
- Yeah.
You're making big trouble.
Nolan's gonna be wild, trashing his car.
Who's cattle you been stealing?
Been hunting on my country.
Teaching this boy.
Well, you gotta look after family, eh?
[Dezi] Here you go, Aunty.
[Keeley] Thanks, Dezi.
Good afternoon and welcome
to the Territory Livestock Auction
here at Ponderosa bull sale
this afternoon.
We've got a great run of bulls for you.
Here they come.
All have Ponderosa bloodlines.
You see these two big bulls here
with plenty of muscle on 'em.
Look at this big bull here
with a lovely top line on him.
What a big, strong bull. Young.
Plenty of style about them.
[bulls bellowing]
I wish you luck with your bidding
and your purchases.
Final run for these big,
strong Ponderosa bulls.
I thought they were going to make 20,000.
20,000 for them, ladies and gentleman,
you start them up and get them away.
I've got 5,000 in front,
five, it is, Ms. Lawson.
I've got five, six now, Mr. Miller.
I've got 8,000.
8,000. I've got 9,000.10,000.
I've got 10,000 now, anybody.
- I've got 12,000, what about 12,000?
- [bulls bellowing]
Twelve, 13, can you beat that?
I've got 13, 14,000 in the front.
I've got 15,000.
Run 15, right in tied. I've got 16.
I'm at 16,000.
I've got 17, 18,000.
How about 18,000? And 20, anybody?
Twenty, anybody?
I'll take a single, Mr. Miller.
I'm at 21, 21 a bid.
I'm at 21,000. What about 22?
How about 22,000,
bid on the left-hand side.
I'm at 22,000 now, how about 22 a bid?
I've got 22,000. Well, you're all gone.
The bid's on the left.
I'm at 22,000. Here we go.
I'm going to sell them along under.
At 22,000. Finished, hold on now.
22,000. Goes to Marianne Station.
How many would you like, Ms. Lawson?
I'll take the lot.
[man] Takes the lot.
That's the way to buy 'em.
Give her a big yard and turn the water on.
- [applause]
- [Susie laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[faint pop rock music playing]
Boy.
Did you take my car hunting?
Not hunting, not me.
You fill up the water troughs?
Throw out any feed?
Done any of your chores?
No.
How about I don't feed you
and let you die in the dirt?
[sighs] What kind of Blackfella you is?
You got no story.
You just chasing whiteman's story.
You want to be a Blackfella?
Then fuck off back to the community.
I don't need this place.
I got my own saddle now.
I'll go another place.
You got a saddle.
Ah. [laughs]
You're not stealing no saddle from me.
Not yours. Uncle Bryce gave me one.
He traded for it.
[slurps]
[door opens]
[Graham groans softly]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where's Susie gone?
Cattle sales.
Buying some new bulls for the station.
Gene pool's a bit stagnant, she reckons.
[Emily] Where'd she get the money
to buy the bulls?
Where have you been?
[helicopter blades whirring]
Em?
I I've been with Sandra Kirby.
- Why?
- [door opens]
Gray, why are there Kirby choppers
on my property?
Why?
[Emily clears throat] Um
So Sandra would like me
to present you with an offer.
She'd like to buy our debt
in exchange for a stake in Marianne.
- [scoffs]
- [Emily] We would corporatize.
But the family would hold
the balance of power.
And I mean,
I think that within three years,
we'd be able to buy her out.
And we'd be debt free and home.
- Just like that?
- Yeah.
- Did you hear that? Did you hear that?
- [clears throat]
Sandra Kirby.
So, you trust Sandra Kirby, do you?
No, Colin, I don't,
but I think we could use her.
Ah. You never, ever, ever do business
with somebody you don't trust,
you know that?
[chuckles] I do.
And you haven't bought me my grandson.
You want to go there?
The grandson whose welfare
you care so much about?
Now you're slithering off with my enemies
to throw your lot in with them.
Enemies? I mean, I thought that we
were a family trying to save a station.
I'm just putting
a business deal on the table.
That woman's my enemy.
Her father was my enemy.
She bought that gold mine.
Now she told me straight up,
she wanted to get her hands on this place.
And you are the Trojan horse
that lets her in.
Did she offer you anything else?
- Yes, she did. She offered me a job.
- Oh.
She offered me job
managing her pastoral assets,
which I declined because she asked me
to walk away from here if I did.
[Colin] That's a pity.
That's a good offer.
You should reconsider.
You'll never get that offer from me.
- You know what? I just might.
- Never.
I might. I actually will.
I think that maybe Graham
and Susie and I will just
walk away from here
and we'll just leave you and sit back
and watch the scavengers
take over your station.
What about you? You're leaving me, son?
Just stop! Hey, both of you, please, stop.
Did you tell him about the deal?
- Don't you dare.
- The deal.
The deal where you sent the McKenzies
after Marshall, your own grandson?
She came to me,
said she was going to bring back Marshall,
train him to take over on the condition
- I did.
- that I cut Susie in for this place.
- Our daughter.
- You know what you get?
You got nothing!
- You're nothing to her!
- For our daughter. Get out of my house!
Get off my property!
[Emily] Graham?
Oh, my God.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Colin] She's a Hodge.
- She's my wife.
- Eh
These people, mate.
They're coming at us from every direction.
Her.
Her brother.
Kirby. Miller.
That half-breed Brannock.
I need you, son.
You and me, we're the only two people left
who can stop these bastards
from taking Marianne away from us.
Dan's gone, and you got to find
a way to stand up.
Hit back at them.
[tires screeching]
[Nolan] Uncle!
[Bryce] What's wrong with you?
You could have run somebody over.
[indistinct chatter]
Where'd you get that saddle from?
Hey?
That saddle Dezi said you gave him.
That's Daniel Lawson's.
Hey, that's kumanjayi.
Don't speak a dead man's name!
I didn't know it belonged to him.
How'd you get it then?
I never take no saddle
from that kumanjayi.
Fella who gave it to me said
it came from the Hodge property.
Please don't lie to me.
Better check yourself, Nolan.
You better git before you get
a good hiding, boy.
[people continue chattering]
- I mean it.
- [glass shatters]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey, hey.
- [people clamoring]
- What?
[man] Fuck off, you coconut!
Fuck you call me? Huh?
- What?
- You!
You used to be part of this community.
Where's that boy now?
He grew up.
- He don't want any part of this.
- I feel shame for you.
What kind of Blackfella are you?
You.
You stay here. Be useless.
[man] Fuck off! Go on!
Go on, get out.
[huffing and puffing]
[line ringing]
Nolan.
You want to build a port? Pay me.
You can do whatever you want.
That's the spirit.
We got a deal?
I won't let you down.
[Rich] Took your time.
[Sharnie] Rich.
Ten minutes. And then we're done.
If you want him, you can go to him. Okay?
I don't care no more.
You just got to help me finish this.
[cattle mooing]
[Vernon] Did you bring Lawson?
[Rich] Yeah, he's around.
Got our money?
Start unloading.
[laughs]
Oi, this is suss.
Where's the killing crew?
Maybe Marsh was right.
Vernon.
[car door shuts]
- Vernon!
- [engine roars]
[tires screeching]
- [metal banging]
- [cattle mooing]
You all right, mate?
Yeah. All good, mate.
You Marshall Lawson?
Who are you?
[chuckles dryly]
Are you Lawson?
Yeah.
I need you to come for a little ride.
You're taking me to dinner?
Where we going?
My boss wants a chat.
This little bitch your boss?

- [Emily] Hey.
- I was hoping that was you.
[laughing]
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
What are you doing here?
Lurking.
[chuckles] That's so unlike you.
I can't. Those days are long gone.
There's nothing wrong
with revisiting them.
Okay.
- [music playing]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [Hank] You got a pair of big ones, Susie.
- [Susie chuckles]
Took on Campbell Miller
and got away with it.
He did play you like a bit of a banjo.
You know those bulls,
they would have been 12,
maybe 15 grand, max.
I won.
Those bulls are exactly
what my station needs.
Good on you.
- Thanks, mate.
- There.
You shouting, bruss?
Over there if you're thirsty.
I, uh I saw a photo of your mom
on the internet.
Mate, she is not bad.
I reckon she might be
a bit of a beast in bed.
What do you reckon?
Don't be a fuckwit.
Come on, mate.
You want to be a cowboy, let's go.
You're a pussy, come on
[people shouting]
Leave 'em alone.
Come on, you little rich prick!
- Come on.

- Come on!
Hey! Hey!

Take him outside till he calms down.
[Hank] Up you get, son.
Here we go, mate. Whoo!
- You all right?
- [Ethan] Yeah, just my pride.
- [glass shatters]

You just learned some
valuable lessons about yourself.
[Lachie] I didn't do anything to him!
Yeah, he's a bully, Lachie.
And you beat him. You won.
Yeah, I did.
I didn't know I could do that.
My first pub fight and I smashed him.
Great, you're a real top end bloke now.
You know how to fight, good.
- Lachie!
- [panting]
Promise me you're not gonna do that again.
Promise!

I'm not doing too good, brother.
I got these, uh

Just some bad thoughts.
Some bad thoughts are there.
- Look at me.
- Uh
Listen, brother. I brought you something.
- What you got there?
- Hmm.
That a saddle?
[Nolan] It's brotherboy Daniel Lawson's.
- Yeah, I see that. Where'd you find that?
- Uncle Bryce.
Got it from a fella in a trade.
They reckon it came from Hodge's place.
- Hank.
- Hmm.
- Listen. Listen, brother. Listen.
- Hank. Hank. Yeah.
Look at me.
I can't get involved
with your family business.
I'm just returning the saddle. All right?
- But I'm here.
- Okay.
- You call me.
- Yeah.
You're not alone. All right, brother?
Okay.

- Hello.

That took you a while.
- Just gettin' some fresh air.
- Fresh air, all right?
[Hank chuckles]
[Hank laughing]
Stop it, Hank.
Stop it.
I don't get men.
One minute they're half-killing each other
and the next they want
to have each other's babies.
[Ethan] No, no.
I want to see the bulls that you bought.
- Yes.
- [Susie] Yeah, my bulls.
- The bulls that you bought.
- [Hank] Show her the bulls.
Right, it's my round, isn't it? Come on.
Oh, Suse. Wow.
- Oh, it's great.
- Yeah.
I couldn't have done better myself.
How'd you talk Colin into paying for them?
I didn't.
I cashed in my Ag College Trust money.
You better know what you're doing.
[cell phone vibrating]
Dad?
Hey.
Hey, Dad, you there?
Yeah, I'm here, babe.
Where are ya?
I am at the Bull Bar with Mum
and Uncle Hank celebrating.
[chuckles] I bought four bulls today.
I smashed it, Dad. [laughs]
You with Uncle Hank?
- Here we go.
- [Susie] Yes.
- [Emily] Thank you.
- Cheers.
[Susie] Dad?
- [Hank] There you are. For you. I am fine.
- Okay, good.
[indistinct chatter over phone]
All right, I gotta go, baby.
[man] Water! Put water, mate!
[men shouting indistinctly]
[breathing heavily]
Dezi.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
[music playing]
[exclaims]
[laughing]
If you lose this
[Emily] Oh, God.
Is Mum flirting with Campbell Miller?
You know, he was her first boyfriend.
No.
True.
I didn't need to know that.
Heard you've stolen
60,000 cattle over your time.
Is my uncle the biggest cattle thief
in the Top End?
In the world.
[laughing]
Why, you want to join the family business?
[laughing]
[door opens]
[Emily exclaiming]
- Mum.
- How many more of them do you want?
- Four. [laughs]
- Mum.
Get a load of this, then.
Now, don't stop on my account.
[Emily] Hey. Hey.
Why don't you keep walking?
You found his horse, Hank.
[Hank clears throat]
What are you talking about, mate?
Dan's saddle was on your property.
You got something you want to tell me?
Emily.
Maybe you want to have a chat
with this bloke.
Otherwise, I might have a crack
at kicking his head into next week.
[Emily] Gray.
Put the rifle down, babe.
You're bullshitting, mate.
You come in here
pointing a shooter at people?
You're a fucking joke.
I am.
Not people.
Just you, Hank.
- Dad!
- Susie!
- [all scream]
