- [Announcer] Previously on "McLeod's Daughters."

- Better?

- Yeah, much.

(soft guitar music plays) - Jodi.

- Claire and Meg left me in charge, me.

Becky Howard, the loser who can't read properly.

- Don't say that.

I need you to pick up the horses.

- Why would I want to do that when they're doing so well with... - Today, about six.

- Look, Claire, it doesn't have to be this way, okay?

- [Claire] See you today then.

- If we could just... - About six.

- [Man] Claire, if we could just talk about this I'm sure we could sort... (phone clicks) (slow country music plays) (horse neighs) - Hah!

(upbeat guitar music plays) (horses gallop) (women laugh) - I thought you only had two alpacas.

- [Other Woman] One of the alpacas that came yesterday, started my breeding program.

- The two neutered males?

- Yeah, I'm getting a free service for them, for helping return that stolen alpaca.

- Hmm.

- What about your breeding program?

- Oh, that was with Australian Bloodlines, Tess.

- Yeah, but you wanted to train and breed horses long before Peter came along.

- Yeah, well, AB will have replaced me by now.

There'll be no horses left to train.

- Yeah, but we haven't heard anything about a new trainer.

- That's 'cause I've been trying not to.

- Look, I know you don't want to run into Peter, but, he's probably in Queensland by now.

- Yeah, you're right, he's probably miles away by now.

- Well, it's the same deal as before, Harry.

It's a five-year contract, for horse training and stud development, and it's all funded by Australian Bloodlines.

(intense music plays) - Let's discuss this inside.

(theme music plays) (music ends) - Have lost your marbles, Dad?

Have you forgotten what he did to Claire?

- Yeah, it was unforgivable, but this is business.

This is very good business.

- Yeah, it's very good business to sign ourselves up with someone we know is a cheat and a liar.

- Hang on, we got a contract to stop him doing that.

- Yeah, fine, Dad.

It's business and it's a lot of money.

Doesn't mean I'll have to like it or do it right?

- Listen, Alex, desperate men have to take what they can get.

So desperate men get shafted by smart people who know when they got the upper hand.

- Think positive.

I will go to Stan Dixon's, he will give Brave J back to me to train.

- Oh, Stan can be a bit difficult, maybe I should try someone else first.

- Uh-uh, so was Egypt, did that stop Napoleon?

- I don't know, did it?

- If you wanna win this battle, you have to march towards the front, head on, guns blazing.

- What are you, leftenant?

- If I have to be.

Now go forth and conquer.

- The feed orders, I should do the feet orders first.

- Well, Becky can do that.

Can't you, Beck?

- Sure, no problem.

- Good luck.

- Right.

(slow piano music plays) (engine rumbles) - Good day, mate.

(gate closes) Oh, it's good to see you again.

You're looking good.

- Hey, you.

Claire, didn't realize it was you.

- Sorry, Stan, should have come up to the house first, just wanted to say hello.

- Looks like he's missed you.

- Yeah.

That's kind of why I'm here.

Just wondering if you had any other horses you wanna train.

I mean, I know Aussie Bloodlines is taking care of Brave J.

- I wish.

Been promising me a new trainer since you quit, but all I ever get is the runaround from Peter Johnson.

- He can't find another trainer.

- Which means I've got a half trained horse, that's not used to anyone.

Pity you can't finish your job you started.

- Yeah, yeah, real pity.

Oh, what about your other horses?

- They're in breach of contract for this, which means I'm free to use someone else to finish the training.

So how about it?

- Looks like you've got yourself a deal, Stan.

(pages turn) - Look, all you have to do is compare number of stock you have in each paddock with the dry feed we have on hand, according to that right?

- Jodi, I'm not an idiot, I know what to do, I just can't read Claire's writing.

- Okay.

So, we've got Skinny Jim's, Old Hill, Little Regret, Jack's Fole.

You know what?

This probably just be quicker, if I did it myself.

- I promise you only have to explain this to me once, and then I will color code everything, and I'll remember it next time.

- You know, it'd just be easier if you explained to Claire that... - What, that her leading station hand is a moron?

- You're not, and Claire would never think that.

- No, because Claire is never gonna find out.

- Okay, so this is Skinny Jim's, and here's Little Regret, so this must be, what, livestock down here.

- Yep.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Oh, you're busy, I'll come back some other time.

- No, no that's okay.

- What did you want?

- Well, my two female alpacas arrived yesterday and the stud that's servicing them is due tomorrow, which means they're gonna need some kind of shelter for when they're pregnant.

- Right, it's very important.

- Well, no, it's really just your average kind of laying tool shed, I guess.

- It's not, it's the start of your breeding program.

- That's right.

- So, we're not talking a one-person, knock it up in a couple of hours shed though are we?

- No, no, no, this is definitely a two person job.

- So you want it to be built properly?

- Yes, I do.

- So this can wait, no problem.

- Great.

- What did I tell you?

Power of positive thinking.

- Yep, all you need to do is tell me that I'm a short 200 year old French man, and I can do anything.

- Yeah, but it still worked.

I wonder how Napoleon rewarded his leftenants.

- He let them breed alpacas.

(engine starts) - So, what's for lunch today, Meg?

- Peking duck, sesame pancakes, bamboo shoots.

- Really?

- Sandwiches, Tess, same as always.

- All right, it's just Nick is coming over to help me build my alpaca shed and he might want something a littler heartier.

- I could've helped you.

- Oh, no, you're too busy.

- Making sandwiches.

Needed a man's touch, eh?

- Don't be silly, he's got experience building things.

Screws, not nails, that's what he said, they last longer.

- Right.

- And our cordless drill's on the brink.

- Is it?

- But bottom line is you won't find a better trainer than Alex, which makes me think the figures in the contract were a bit low don't you, Pete?

- Look, Peter, make this contract worth my while, mate.

We're gonna have to look at a 10% increase in earnings at least.

- Sure, sure, no problem.

Don't worry, Stan, not about to lose Alex.

- You should've told me about this a couple of hours ago, Peter.

(truck door closes) I'm so sorry.

Peter's found a new trainer.

- What?

- I had no idea, I thought I could offer you the job, no problem, and suddenly he's turned up with the Ryans.

- What, you're the new trainer?

- What, you mean you still want the job?

- Stan and I have an agreement, I'm here to pick up Brave J.

- No, Stan, you've got a contract with us.

- Look, Claire, I had no idea, I swear.

- Well, you weren't doing much about it, so I thought I should make my own arrangements.

I'm sorry, bad timing.

What can I say?

- Yeah.

Well, that's that then.

Look, Claire, hang on a minute.

- I think you've done enough damage already, you know.

- All right.

- Alex, we got a deal to discuss.

- Now what?

Is he in or is he out?

Are you gonna lose me another trainer?

- Don't worry, mate, it's just a misunderstanding.

- A deal's a deal.

(tires rumble) (intense music plays) (horn honks) (horn honks) (music builds) (horn honks) (tires screech) - You idiot.

Are you trying to kill me?

- Would you just listen?

I had no idea you were interested in the contract.

- Well, you could have asked.

- Look, last I knew you quit.

- It would've been nice if you warned me that you were going into business with my ex.

- Claire, it all just happened today.

Okay?

- I made a fool of myself in front of everyone.

- Okay, well we'll back out now, the job's yours.

- Alex, we both know you wanted this contract from day one.

Well, now you've got the chance to prove that you're better than me.

- Yeah, right, that is absolute crap, and you know it, Claire.

(truck door closes) (engine starts) You know, you do something you had no way of knowing was wrong, they still want to forgive you for it.

- What, last week's girlfriend bump into this week's?

- Yeah, hardy har, mate.

What's all this for anyway?

- It's a shed.

- Sounds good.

Which dumped we fixing up first?

- Some drivers for, Tess.

So what do you want, Alex?

- Tess can't build her shed by herself?

- She needs my cordless.

- You can't trust her with it, right?

- It's not just any old shed, Alex.

- Apparently not.

Anything you want to tell me about, Nick?

(tools clatter) - Was there anything you want to tell me?

Since I figure you aren't just here about sheds.

- Right-oh.

Dad and I are taking on the horse training contract Claire walked away from.

Only it turns out she hasn't.

- What?

- Exactly.

How was I to know she wanted back in on the whole deal?

- Well, did you warn her you're gonna be working with her ex?

- Oh, get away, Nick, it's business, not personal.

All right?

(Nick chuckles) But I am gonna screw Peter Johnson for every last cent I can get.

- So dad told you that to make you feel better did he?

Come on, Alex, it's only one answer, it's mutiny.

See, some of us actually break away from the old man, and some of us just talk about it.

- What happened?

- Alex is training Brave J.

- What, why?

- Becky did you get those feed orders done?

- Yep, I hope you don't mind, but I... - Good, 'cause I need to get the rain gauges checked and logged, in we need to get ready for drenching.

- Sure, not a problem.

- Claire.

- I'll take care of him.

- It's all right, I'll deal with it.

- What do you want?

Why didn't you tell me you were still interested in the training contract?

I never would have approached the Ryans.

But nothing's signed yet, so it's not too late for you.

- It is, I don't want to work with you.

- Claire, think about it, please.

Don't throw something away this big, just because... - How's your wife?

- I haven't seen her in weeks.

I've asked for a divorce.

- You need to go now.

- I love you, I wanna be with you.

- Well, I don't wanna be with you.

I don't love you, I don't think about you.

Whatever we had is over, you're out of my life for good.

- You're still wearing it.

- [Nick] You don't give up, do you?

- Mate, whatever you think, it's wrong.

- Oh, you mean you weren't married?

- You all think you're such good friends telling Claire what a scumbag Peter Johnson is... - I couldn't have put it better myself, mate.

Yeah, well why don't you tell her this.

Tell her nothing else matters to me besides her.

My family, my job, my career, I'd lose a lot if it meant I'd go back.

- So what did he want?

- Have you logged that rain form yet?

Gotta get the sheep in for drenching tomorrow.

- There wasn't much, just a couple of minutes.

Well, it still needs recording.

You can add last month's too.

- You did tell him where to go?

- What have you put 'em in this column for?

We need to start a new month.

- I'm sorry, I forgot.

- Claire... - Clearly it's up to six meals, Becky, it's not brain surgery.

- He got to you didn't he?

- I've got sheep to muster.

(drill buzzes) - You should never get back with an ex.

You broke up for a reason in the first place, and that reason's still going to be there if you get back together.

- Maybe not.

You don't think anyone can learn from their mistakes?

- Why are you sticking up for Peter?

- I'm not, I'm just asking you.

If you really love someone, you don't think they deserve a second chance?

One strike and you're out every time, eh?

- Well, I wouldn't wanna go through what Claire's gone through, no.

- So you're someone who's perfect, without any baggage at all?

- There's a difference between a little bit of baggage and a whole truck load.

- It doesn't have to be perfect, Tess, long as it feels right.

- Let's get this up then.

- Well, Stan Dixon's happy to go ahead so Peter's bringing the contracts around in the morning.

- I won't be signing them.

- Alex, if I refuse to work with every bloke I don't get along with we'd have no feed delivered, we'd have no stock moved.

- Yeah, that's how to run a business, Dad.

That's not how I wanna run my life.

You see I like having friends, dad, and I wanna keep the ones I've got.

Doesn't seem to bother you so much 'cause you don't seem to have any.

- I got a whole address book full of people.

- Yeah, I bet you have.

Counselors, Cattle Breeders' Association, it's all just business.

I mean, can you drop around, and have a drink a laugh, and let off a bit of steam with that mob?

I don't think so.

- All right, Alex, I'll leave you to explain all this to Peter.

- But you accepted his offer, you can un-accept it.

- Right, back, Roy.

(shoos sheep) - Need a hand?

- She's all right.

Don't start, Tess.

- I'm not.

- Come on, mutton chop.

- Whatever you decide to do about Peter it's okay.

Just do what your heart tells you to do.

- As opposed to what my little sister tells me?

Back, Roy.

- As astounding as it may seem, I don't have an answer for everything.

(shoos sheep) You are still in love with him, aren't you?

(sheep bleat) - Come on, Roy.

(birds chirp) (slow piano music plays) - I would've thought you'd have a problem with just hiring some guy to have sex with.

- Yeah, but I'm not an alpaca.

- No, you're an alpaca pimp.

- Ronaldo is a $200,000 pedigree stud, not one cent is changing hands.

- Well that's even worse.

That's like being a groupie who only sleeps with famous people.

- Excuse me, what is the difference between servicing alpacas and servicing horses or sheep?

- You name them, Tess, you treat them like your children.

- And now you're lining up blokes for them.

- You guys are sick.

I haven't even named the females yet.

But if I do, it will be something Spanish, like Isabella.

- Not again.

- Ah, Notabella.

- Again.

- I don't need any dinner, Meg.

I've got to head into town for a while.

- Oh cool, can we all go?

Because you know, we haven't had a night at the pub in ages.

- Oh no, we can't.

- [Becky] Why not?

- [Meg] Because dinner's nearly ready.

- And I promised to wax your legs and the offer's only good for tonight.

- Oh great, so I get to stay home and look good or go out and be hairy.

- Life's cruel like that.

(dog barks) (slow music plays) (music grows) (door knocks) - Coming.

Hi.

I was hoping that you'd come.

Come, sit down.

- What you said earlier about the contract - Yeah?

- and me, I can't work with you, Peter.

Not after everything that's happening.

- Well, I'll quit.

- This was a mistake.

- Look, wait, Claire.

(footsteps retreat) (door closes) (door knocks) (door opens) - I have no idea what I'm doing.

(lips smack) (piano music plays) (lips smack) - Morning, breakfast in bed.

- I have to go.

- What do you mean?

- I woke up, you weren't there.

- Yeah, look, I was just making you a cup of tea, that's all.

- Oh, God, I feel sick.

- Why, what do you... Because I wasn't here?

- Yes, because I saw what my life could be like, waking up every morning in an empty bed, and wondering every time, if that meant that you're with someone else.

- Oh, look, I would never do that to you.

- You did it to your wife, and I'm sure you felt really close to her once.

- See, look, that's the point, I've never felt this way.

- I still have to know that I can trust you.

- You can, I don't know how else I can say it.

- You can't.

- Claire, look, I love you.

Yes, it was a mistake.

But for God's sake, why can't you forgive me for it?

- I don't know, but I can't.

I'm sorry, but it's over, for good.

(door closes) - How'd it go?

- I slept with him.

- That's all right, we've all done that.

- No, I haven't.

I should never have gone.

- Oh, don't be so hard on yourself, Claire.

- Well, that's it, it's over.

I'll be down in 10 minutes for the drenching.

- Ronaldo's coming to service the alpacas.

- Drenching first, okay?

- That drench gun set up yet?

- Yeah, just about ready.

- Hey, Claire, I'm really sorry about yesterday, you know, stuffing up the rain.

- Forget about, let's just get the drenching done.

It's not what I ordered.

- So as long as it works.

- That's not the point, when I order something, I expect to get it.

I'll ring the supplier.

- Claire, I can handle the drenching.

I know you've got a lot of other stuff on your mind.

- Yeah, I do, thanks, Beck.

(somber piano music plays) (woman yelps) (music continues) - Come on, come, next.

- She slept with him, didn't she?

- Yep.

- Biggest mistake you can make.

Look at me and Kevin.

- I've never slept with an ex.

- Oh, you're smarter than us.

- No, I just haven't been out with anyone long enough to make them an ex.

- Why do it, why torture yourself?

- 'Cause you set your eyes on him and your brain goes out the window.

- Yeah, we all think we're sophisticated, intelligent beings, but really we're just like any other animal, ruled by pheromones and hormones.

- Bee hand, beer.

- I'll make a start on lunch.

- Oh, can you make extra food again?

- I thought you finished the shed.

- Yeah, we have, he's helping me put up a portable yard for Ronaldo.

- One of us could have helped you.

- Oh no, he's just interested to see what happens with the alpacas, technically speaking, as a farmer.

- Tess, go, we can manage.

(gentle music plays) (horses gallop) (music continues) - I'm fine.

- Wish I was like you sometimes.

- Why?

- Because you loved Peter, you really, really loved him, and you weren't scared of that, you just went for it.

I can't, I don't have the guts.

- Mom loved Jack so much, she thought she couldn't live without him.

She took pills.

I was 11 I remember sitting there waiting for the ambulance to come and thinking I'll never let this happen to me.

If this is true love, I don't want it.

- Pretty lonely old life.

- No, it's not.

I got you.

- It's not the same, Tess.

- It's ridiculous, Alex.

In five years you'll be running one of the biggest horse operations in the country.

- Bottom line is, dad, the guy is trouble.

Whatever he's offering you, it's not worth it.

I wouldn't do it to Claire, all right.

(engine starts) - Where's he going?

I've got contracts for him to sign.

- A slight change of plan, Peter.

I had a big talk with Alex last night, he's concerned that the time he'd spend training would have an adverse effect on his work here at Killarney, so.

- So you're pulling out.

- Well, basically we can't spare him for the sort of hours you got in mind.

- Harry, I know you wanted more money, so maybe we can come to... - No, it's not about money.

Frankly, given the recent events between you and Claire McLeod, I can't in all conscience get involved.

Alex feels the same way, so, sorry about that, hope you understand.

- Hey, Beck, how'd you work out the dosage for this?

- Same as always.

- Yeah, but you know this is concentrate, right?

You only need half as much as the old brand.

- Yeah, I told you, I'm fine with numbers.

You go and grab lunch, I'll finish up here.

- Yes, ma'am, miss leading station hand.

(ominous music plays) (sheep bleat) (horse gallops) - Oh, God.

Oh, God, no.

Oh, God, please don't die.

Oh, God, please get up, please get up, get up.

Please, get up, please.

Oh, God, oh, God.

Oh, please don't die on me, please don't die on me.

Get up, please.

Don't lay here, you can't die.

Please, get up.

- Alex, look, I just... - Look, I just told Peter Johnson to shove his contract, all right - Well, I hope you didn't do that on my account.

- As if.

So if I were you, Claire, I'd get my backside over to Stan Dixon's and remind him who started Brave J's training.

- Well, Peter will find another trainer.

- I don't like his chances there.

I mean, I would have had to been his last choice, not his first.

- You sure you don't want this?

- Look, you know, as much as I liked the idea of taking that bloke to the cleaners, I figure it's not a real good reason to go into business with someone.

Claire, this job's yours.

You got it the first time around because you deserved it and you still do.

Well get out there and make it happen.

- Alex, I'm sorry about what I said yesterday.

- Yeah, yeah, look, just get over to Stan Dixon's and sort something out, will you?

- Claire, you have to come now.

I killed all the sheep.

I am so sorry, Claire, I'll pay for any losses, I swear.

I don't know how it happened.

I gave him too much drench, and I didn't realize that it was concentrate.

I can't believe I was so stupid.

Are they all right?

I'm jumping to get a bit, I'll pay for everything.

- They're not dying, they're just sick.

- Really?

- Yeah, all they need is a bit of time to flush it through their systems.

Come on, girl, up, up.

- Oh, thank God.

I am so sorry, I am so sorry.

- How did this happen?

How could you give them so much?

- It was a new brand and I just got the dosage mixed up.

- But you knew it was a new brand and the dosage is written a mile high.

How could you miss it?

- I just... - What's going on?

- I went by the old dosage, the one I knew.

I can't read properly.

A few words and numbers and that's it.

- Why didn't you say something?

- 'Cause how much would you have trusted me if you knew?

- A hell of a lot more than I trust you right now.

- Look, mate, I know there's been a few stuff ups, but AB's a great company, and I promise you it'll be worth the wait.

(truck stops) (door closes) - Stan, Peter.

I heard that Alex and Harry are pulling out of the training, I was wondering if you'd reconsider our previous deal?

- Claire... - Look, if you're not going to fulfill your contract with Stan, he's free to look elsewhere.

- A new trainer will be appointed.

- You've been telling him that for weeks.

- If I can't get anyone local, I'll fly someone in from inner state.

Look, I'll do the training myself, if I have to.

- I know Brave J.

Look, why waste time getting him familiar with another trainer when I can just pick up where I left off?

- Yeah, and what happens if he gets sick or you break a leg?

Have you thought about insurance?

Do you even know if you can get cover as an independent trainer?

- Look, Claire, you're a great trainer.

I wish you'd worked for Peter again, that'd solve everything.

- I'm sorry, Stan that's not possible.

- He's right, you're a one man operation, so to speak.

If you get cooked, I'm back to square one.

Sorry.

- Me too.

(somber music plays) - Claire, I just wanted you to know that I didn't mean to lie.

- So why did you?

- Because people think I'm dumb.

Teacher thought I was dyslexic, but she never did anything.

No one cared, and you did.

You gave me a chance and I didn't want to blow it.

- How did you think you were gonna get away with it?

- 'Cause I've done it all my life.

- But all the work I've given you... - The colors are so I can know which column is which, Jodi helped me.

- You should've just told me.

- No one's ever trusted me with anything.

And I don't wanna stop feeling important, because I never have, and, if you're gonna sack me, can you just get it over and done with?

(phone rings) - Claire McLeod.

Yeah, thanks for getting back to me.

Something I wanna discuss with you.

- Well, I would've got one of the others to help, but they're all busy again today.

- No problem, I've got nothing urgent on.

- Yeah, except the generator.

- Oh, that can wait.

Ronaldo's going back tonight is he?

- Sure is.

So the portable yard's pretty urgent then.

- Oh, for sure, very urgent, and, actually not very portable, and they're much heavier than when I put them up last time.

Hey, look, Ronaldo's here.

- So is Alex.

What's he want?

- This is a good idea, isn't it?

- Yep.

- Shouldn't we be doing something, you know, to make it official?

- Down the track, yeah.

- No, I mean, now.

- You're not gonna pull the pin on me, are you, Claire?

- No.

Are you?

- Not a chance.

You all right then?

- Yeah.

- Hey, if it makes you feel better.

- So we're in this together?

- You bet.

(gentle guitar music plays) - They seem pleased to see him.

Shouldn't be any problems then.

- Yeah you don't want to have to resort to AI.

- Apparently, that's hardly ever necessary.

Alpacas are quite keen to mate.

- He sure knows what he's here for.

- What's wrong with a bit of flirting first?

- Nothing, but they've got to get down to business sometime don't they?

- Yeah, but that looks so desperate.

- Well, some men like women who make the first move.

- So once my breeding program's in place, I thought I'd look at fiber sales as a sideline.

- He hasn't even finished the first one he's looking at the next one.

- Yeah, typical bloke, always got his eye on the next conquest.

I don't think we need to watch this do we?

- No, we don't want to put him off.

- So, did I mention the return I was looking at on fiber sales?

- Yeah, what margin you looking for in a business plan?

- Oh, about 20%.

- Right.

- Well, you wanted the security that AB can provide, I'm now in a position to offer you that.

- I'll be providing the finances and security as Claire's business partner, Stan.

- This has got the backing of Killarney?

- No, my personal finances, plus, there is a property we can put up as collateral if needed.

Will Go.

- If I go with you two on this, is this it?

Horses, training, contracts, this is the last time we have to have this conversation.

- I think we can manage that, Stan.

- Then you've got yourself a deal.

- Right, then, Stan.

- All right, then let's get started.

(tires rumble) - Alex, you've had the same idea as me, obviously.

Who needs Australian Bloodlines?

We can just sign Stan up ourselves.

- And we just did.

- Well I hope you run them for every cent you could get.

- Yeah, Claire and I are very happy with the deal we've struck.

- No offense, Claire, but we don't need to hire you to do the training.

- We're not, Killarney didn't get the business.

We got it, Claire and I.

- What?

- We've gone into business together, dad, and we're off to a great start too.

(tires rumble) - Well, everyone I'd like you to meet my new business partner.

- Ryan-McLeod Horse Training.

- McLeod-Ryan, and eventually we'll be getting into breeding too.

- Congratulations.

- [Woman] Wow.

- Yeah.

- Congratulations to you.

- Since when?

- Since a couple of hours ago.

- You can't be serious, you can't decide to be partners just like that.

There are legalities and contracts, and... - Handshake was good enough for me.

- No, it's not that simple.

- Why not?

- What about your business plan?

How are you gonna split your profits?

What about your capital and your security?

You're not gonna see dad putting up Killarney if Claire's got a share in this.

- No kidding.

That's why I told Stan Dixon you'd be backing us.

- You what?

- Well, you told me to get out from under the old man, I took your advice.

- And you told me to get out there and fight for it, so I did.

- Here to mutiny.

- And Napoleon.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

(footsteps approach) - That's how I learned to read.

I don't know if that help or not being dyslexic.

- Don't ask me.

- If you wanna borrow the ute one night, go into town to TAFE for an evening class.

- Yeah, I'll look into it.

So does this mean that I'm not... - You're not fired.

- Thanks, Claire.

I won't let you down again with promise.

- You better not.

Better be pretty busy from now on.

Need my leading station hand to be on top of things.

- Got it.

- Good.

Right?

(footsteps retreat) - Who is the stupid idiot that pulled these out anyway?

- Shut up and get on with it.

- Hey, we're partners, remember?

- I don't reckon that makes you boss.

- Yeah, well, it doesn't mean I have to do all the work either.

- Give me a break.

- What's that?

- Keeping you in line, that's all.

- I'll make you eat that, you know it.

- Yeah?

- [Alex] Mm-hm.

- Just try it.

- I'm gonna make you eat that.

Yes, you're gonna eat it.

(truck stops) (ominous music plays) - So you heard the good news then?

- Can I talk to you?

- Now listen, we're partners, all right?

You got something to say, say it to the both of us.

- This doesn't concern you.

- It's okay.

- If you wanna take a shot at me, why not just slug me in the head?

- What?

- You're stealing business straight out from underneath me.

- What, you think this is personal?

- What else is it?

I gave up everything for you, Claire.

- Well, that's not my fault.

- Well, if it's not what you wanted, how come you turned up in my hotel room last night then?

- I told you that was a mistake.

- I know revenge when I see it.

Yeah, it's payback time, isn't it?

And you want me to suffer.

- I'm not out to get you.

And if you think I am, then that shows how little you really know me.

- Yeah, maybe I never did.

You want this ugly?

Well it just got ugly.
