Episode 7
"DEAD DUCKS"
3
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:42,220
Beware!
4
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:45,540
The Wizard wearing blue
and yellow conus...
5
00:00:45,580 --> 00:00:48,715
leading a horse and two cows.
6
00:00:48,755 --> 00:00:51,580
Beware!
7
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:56,160
The Wizard wearing blue
and yellow conus...
8
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,050
leading a horse and two cows.
9
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:03,650
Hey!
10
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,400
I want it back.
11
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,630
What?
12
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:09,830
The Valentine card I made for you.
13
00:01:09,870 --> 00:01:12,350
- Was that from you?
- You know it was.
14
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,450
Nikki can't draw like that.
15
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:17,540
She hasn't got the soul
of an artist, not like me.
16
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:21,515
Well, if you're an artist, how
come you're acting like a witch?
17
00:01:21,555 --> 00:01:25,650
Just give me my
card back, or...
18
00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:27,990
or I'll turn you
into a Wardrobe.
19
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:34,000
Ha-ha. Not funny.
20
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,110
I told you I'd do it.
21
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:41,190
Mike Masters kissed
Nikki Colbert on the lips.
22
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,120
Okay, I'm lying. I don't.
23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,480
But there were
extenuating circumstances.
24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,420
Like the aurora.
25
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:52,218
But I will do it.
26
00:01:52,258 --> 00:01:55,660
Just tell me if you wanna go
at the lake by yourselves.
27
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:58,430
Just the two of you.
I'll understand.
28
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:00,419
- Hi.
- Hi.
29
00:02:00,459 --> 00:02:01,730
Ready?
30
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:19,980
I'm afraid you're going
to have to dig a bit more.
31
00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:21,010
Really?
32
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:24,190
Yes, the hole should be four
times bigger than the pot.
33
00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:26,090
I'll leave this for another day.
34
00:02:26,130 --> 00:02:27,670
What about a walk at the lake?
35
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:29,940
I thought you were learning
your lines for your addition.
36
00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:34,040
I am. But...
37
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,020
I need to centre myself.
That's what actors do, you know.
38
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:40,010
At the lake?
39
00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:42,950
Water is very calming.
Ask Elfie.
40
00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:45,440
There's something
you're not telling me?
41
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,300
I can't learn
my lines by myself.
42
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:51,720
That's strange for someone
who's always had
43
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,520
such an exceptional memory.
44
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,020
I need...
two other actors.
45
00:02:58,060 --> 00:02:59,920
I'm the Witch.
46
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,480
You can be the Lion.
47
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,225
And guess who is
the Wardrobe?
48
00:03:05,715 --> 00:03:07,885
- Wardrobe, it is?
- Yes!
49
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:15,910
So, do you kiss
your horse a lot?
50
00:03:15,950 --> 00:03:18,030
Hendrix started it, not me.
51
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:20,030
All right.
52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,920
Easy, boy.
53
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:26,750
Look, who we have here.
54
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:30,160
- Nice day for a ride.
- Nice day, off you go!
55
00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:33,310
You're finished?
56
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:35,870
- That depends.
- On what?
57
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:37,290
What are you doing here?
58
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:38,780
The same as you're doing.
59
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:39,800
I bet you're not.
60
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,910
'Cause we're looking
for the Sundowner's treasure.
61
00:03:41,950 --> 00:03:43,020
Shut up!
62
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:44,350
Yeah, what are ya.
63
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:47,620
The Sundowner's treasure?
Get real?
64
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,320
Oh, shut up, Colbert.
What would you know?
65
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,830
Yeah, what are ya.
66
00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:54,145
You're dumber than you look
if you believed that story.
67
00:03:54,185 --> 00:03:56,560
Chau, losers.
68
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,700
I love it here.
69
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:21,490
We used to come here,
Helen and I.
70
00:04:21,530 --> 00:04:23,690
Before Mike was born.
71
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:31,098
I still miss her.
72
00:04:31,138 --> 00:04:34,980
Have you ever thought
about marrying again?
73
00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:36,660
Oh no!
74
00:04:38,375 --> 00:04:42,810
Who'd marry a single Dad
whose hobby is a deep space?
75
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:47,860
Maybe the Vespucci Probe will
discover women on Pluto, huh?
76
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:50,840
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
What about you?
77
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Oh no, probably not.
78
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,273
Co-coo! Come on.
79
00:05:00,313 --> 00:05:02,840
The Sundowner
was real enough.
80
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,910
He actually existed.
81
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:06,490
He robbed stagecoaches
82
00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:09,210
and things like that
around here in the 1850s.
83
00:05:09,250 --> 00:05:11,050
Tell me about his treasure.
84
00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:13,700
Well.
85
00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:16,130
They recon his hideout
was full of gold,
86
00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:18,130
but no one's ever found it.
87
00:05:26,830 --> 00:05:30,110
Gee! What a surprise
finding you two here.
88
00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:31,900
You're little stickybeak.
89
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:33,660
I think we've been followed.
90
00:05:35,955 --> 00:05:37,850
- Hi.
- Hello, kids.
91
00:05:37,890 --> 00:05:39,220
Hi.
92
00:05:39,260 --> 00:05:41,320
Oh, wow! Gross that!
93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,420
Oh, don't touch it
with your hands.
94
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,630
What do you think
they died of?
95
00:05:46,670 --> 00:05:47,870
I don't know.
96
00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:49,560
Do you think they drowned?
97
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,080
I don't think so.
98
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,960
It looks like they've
been poisoned.
99
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,610
But who do wanna
poison ducks?
100
00:05:55,650 --> 00:05:58,000
I don't know.
101
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,000
You've ever seen
an autopsy before?
102
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,033
Yeah.
103
00:06:09,073 --> 00:06:14,220
But we usually stuff it, bake it,
and call it a Sunday roast.
104
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:35,760
I want my card back.
105
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,835
Oh.
106
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,960
Well, I really loved
that card, Maggie.
107
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,690
So I'd like to keep it.
108
00:06:42,730 --> 00:06:45,880
Well, you can't. You obviously
don't appreciate art.
109
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,870
Yes, I do.
110
00:06:47,910 --> 00:06:51,010
I love the way you did
the stars with the glider...
111
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:54,110
If you like it so much, how can
you get the flowers to Nikki?
112
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:02,570
Well, I'm 14...
and you're only 9.
113
00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:05,680
And a half, so what?
114
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,050
Picasso was 72
when he got married.
115
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:11,760
And his wife was only 35.
116
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:16,725
I'll get it for you.
117
00:07:18,170 --> 00:07:19,930
Uh-huh!
118
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:22,180
Lead pellets in the gizzard.
119
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Lead poisoning.
Why would it's swallowed them?
120
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,130
Ducks swallow more stones
to help the digestion.
121
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:32,580
But at the bottom of the lake
122
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:37,373
they can't tell the difference
between the stone and this.
123
00:07:37,413 --> 00:07:39,310
How'd it get there?
124
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:41,310
Duck shooters probably.
125
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:45,250
The duck can die from
being shot or eating shot.
126
00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:46,990
Oh, merci Veronique.
127
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:47,910
Mum!
128
00:07:47,950 --> 00:07:51,130
Don't call me that!
Especially when he's around.
129
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,830
Well, here it is.
130
00:08:05,870 --> 00:08:09,760
I wasn't lying.
I really would like to keep it.
131
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,210
Well, you can't.
132
00:08:11,250 --> 00:08:12,910
What're you doing, Mike?
133
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:15,740
Maggie wanted
her Valentine card back.
134
00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:18,950
Maggie, what are you
gonna do, recycle it?
135
00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:21,540
Do you think you're
so smart, don't you?
136
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:23,700
Just because you're
older than me.
137
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:25,229
Well, you can't do your own hobby.
138
00:08:25,269 --> 00:08:28,069
You'll never get
to the space camp.
139
00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:32,925
I'm never speaking
to either of you ever again!
140
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:52,060
Mike, come and
have a look at this.
141
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:53,940
No thanks, Mrs. Colbert.
142
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:57,645
If you said it died of lead
poisoning, it's fine by me.
143
00:08:57,685 --> 00:09:00,080
What is it?
144
00:09:00,122 --> 00:09:02,050
Gold.
145
00:09:03,315 --> 00:09:05,665
Gold?
146
00:09:05,715 --> 00:09:09,070
It must have picketed up
with the lead pellets.
147
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:10,210
I don't think so.
148
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,380
Gold country is on the other
side away from the lake.
149
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,810
Maybe it's swallowed it
somewhere else then.
150
00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:17,270
Perhaps.
151
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:20,580
The Sundowner's treasure.
It's gotta be!
152
00:09:20,620 --> 00:09:22,030
The gold must have
been washed down
153
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:25,380
into the lake from his hideout
up around here somewhere.
154
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:27,810
The whole area
drains into the lake.
155
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:29,440
Only proves one thing.
156
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,460
What?
157
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,020
You've got the treasure bug.
158
00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:39,020
Well, the treasure bug got me
when I first time came to this town.
159
00:09:39,060 --> 00:09:41,380
I spent hours coming the bush,
looking for the hideout.
160
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:43,930
Until Elfie got sick of it.
161
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:45,250
Did you find anything?
162
00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:47,890
No. But we bought an antique
bottle from old Krause.
163
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:50,360
The last thing to touch
the Sundowner's lips
164
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,980
before they hang him.
165
00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:52,570
Wow!
166
00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:58,470
What Krause does know about the
Sundowner is a worth knowing.
167
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,380
Good luck.
168
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:02,788
Thanks.
169
00:10:02,828 --> 00:10:05,240
Come on, Maggie.
170
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,790
Please, remind Mike and
my sister that I have sworn
171
00:10:08,830 --> 00:10:11,160
never to speak to them again.
172
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,310
I'm coming with you.
173
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:22,320
Come on, Nik.
174
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:30,930
Look at this. An original
bushranger's firearm.
175
00:10:30,970 --> 00:10:33,040
A site to strike terror
into the hearts
176
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,610
of earlier Australian travellers.
177
00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:36,990
How do you know it belonged
to a bushranger?
178
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:39,340
Not any bushranger.
179
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:42,780
The Sundowner, that's his mark.
Look, the half moon.
180
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:44,973
You scratched that in yourself.
181
00:10:45,013 --> 00:10:48,370
You do me disservice.
182
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,060
Look at this.
Do you know what this is?
183
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,740
This is the very last thing
to touch the Sundowner's lips.
184
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:59,950
Before they stretched
his neck under gallows.
185
00:10:59,990 --> 00:11:03,480
Last shot of whiskey
for a man about to die.
186
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,830
How much without
187
00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:06,710
the Sundowner's lips
wrapped around it?
188
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:08,840
About half that.
189
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,850
Where do you recon
the cave is?
190
00:11:10,890 --> 00:11:13,980
4.95$ and you will know
as much as me.
191
00:11:15,330 --> 00:11:19,250
<i>"The Life and Times of Edward
A. MacFarlane, the Sundowner".</i>
192
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:21,380
<i>By Richard Krause.</i>
193
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,770
This isn't a library.
194
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:33,890
Oi!
195
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:40,730
Don't worry, we're
one step ahead of 'em.
196
00:11:40,770 --> 00:11:44,095
They can't read.
197
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,660
Here's a list of all
198
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,460
the things that Sundowner
robbed in a general store
199
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,780
just before they captured him.
200
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:55,470
Gunpowder. Blankets. Whiskey.
201
00:11:55,510 --> 00:11:57,550
What exactly are we
looking for?
202
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:59,580
A cave.
203
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:01,410
A cave?
204
00:12:01,450 --> 00:12:03,780
Well, I'll just puncheon
the word "cave"
205
00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:05,630
and we'll find it then.
206
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:07,850
Maybe I should puncheon
the word "idiot"?
207
00:12:08,390 --> 00:12:10,390
Remote sensing can show
208
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:14,053
vegetation, radiant heat,
cloud formations...
209
00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:19,150
All sort of things,
but caves? No!
210
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:21,810
Think like the bushranger
would think.
211
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:24,890
His hideout would have to be
well protected from attack
212
00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:27,330
and close to
drinking water, right?
213
00:12:27,370 --> 00:12:29,220
So it's near the lake.
214
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:32,555
We already know that.
215
00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:40,250
Radiant heat.
216
00:12:42,940 --> 00:12:45,380
Cloud formations.
217
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,765
Algae concentrations.
218
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:54,660
Come on,
how many more?
219
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,420
That's it.
220
00:12:57,770 --> 00:13:00,030
That's it!
221
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:02,530
The lake's got bigger.
Look.
222
00:13:02,570 --> 00:13:04,540
Here's the lake in 1850,
and now...
223
00:13:04,580 --> 00:13:06,660
Mike, I know
the lake's got bigger.
224
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:09,530
Everybody does.
225
00:13:09,570 --> 00:13:12,210
So the hideout is
no longer near the lake,
226
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:14,850
it's under the lake!
227
00:13:14,890 --> 00:13:17,695
- You're right!
- Yeah!
228
00:13:19,170 --> 00:13:23,965
But that's only gonna
make it harder to find.
229
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:30,770
I wonder why the algae
are so thick there?
230
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:34,220
I guess there's more fertilizer
in that part of the lake.
231
00:13:34,260 --> 00:13:37,230
But where the fertilizer
come from?
232
00:13:37,270 --> 00:13:39,780
Or what's fertilizer made of?
233
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:44,390
Potassium, sulphur, nitrate,
among other things.
234
00:13:44,430 --> 00:13:46,660
And what else are
those chemicals in?
235
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,650
Well, all sort of things.
236
00:13:48,690 --> 00:13:51,760
Things that bushranger
might keep in his cave?
237
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,220
Whiskey?
238
00:13:53,260 --> 00:13:54,840
I don't think so.
239
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,570
Gunpowder?
240
00:13:56,610 --> 00:13:58,470
Maybe.
241
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:04,650
Imagine a cave...
packed with provisions.
242
00:14:04,690 --> 00:14:06,760
The lake rises-- covers it.
243
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,640
Things start to rot and
leach out into the lake.
244
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,270
The gunpowder dissolves
making this sort of fertilizer.
245
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:14,560
Which feeds the algae.
246
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,610
That's where the cave is.
247
00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:28,235
- All set?
- Yep.
248
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,350
You two are running away
together, aren't you?
249
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:33,740
What?
250
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:36,060
Nah, we found the
Sundowner's hideout.
251
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,760
- I'm coming with you.
- No, you're not.
252
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,770
- You can't stop me.
- Look.
253
00:14:39,810 --> 00:14:41,690
Someone's gonna have
to carry the treasure.
254
00:14:41,730 --> 00:14:44,330
10 seconds-- that's all
I need to get ready.
255
00:14:44,370 --> 00:14:46,990
About having fun... now!
256
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:49,120
I thought she wasn't
talking to us ever again.
257
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,375
Well, that was yesterday.
258
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,225
Wait! Wait for me, you guys!
259
00:15:01,265 --> 00:15:02,840
Slow down!
260
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:06,210
Maggie, we don't need it.
261
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:09,080
As in case we get a puncher.
262
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680
About 10 metres out from
that point we should be
263
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,930
right on top of it.
264
00:15:12,970 --> 00:15:15,265
Right.
265
00:15:15,305 --> 00:15:18,170
What do you reckon
they're doing?
266
00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:20,390
They're doing a lunch.
What do you recon they doing?
267
00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:22,730
Yeah, what are ya.
268
00:15:22,770 --> 00:15:25,768
- Got everything?
- Yep.
269
00:15:25,808 --> 00:15:29,640
All set?
Let's go!
270
00:15:52,745 --> 00:15:55,140
This is it.
271
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Okay, let's do it.
272
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:42,850
Did you find it?
273
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,480
Maggie, look!
274
00:17:27,570 --> 00:17:29,770
- Bottles?
- They're everywhere.
275
00:17:59,190 --> 00:18:01,250
Come on, Maggie, hurry up.
276
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:03,595
Okay, okay.
277
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,900
We found it, we found it!
278
00:18:52,940 --> 00:18:53,690
What?
279
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:55,980
The cave.
The Sundowner's cave.
280
00:18:56,020 --> 00:18:57,290
Yes!
281
00:18:57,330 --> 00:18:59,840
We found it,
we found the treasure!
282
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:06,090
Jump, Maggie! Jump!
283
00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:07,590
Maggie, quick, do what he says!
284
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:09,740
Jump!
Get away!
285
00:19:41,695 --> 00:19:44,980
Oh, the bottles!
286
00:19:47,230 --> 00:19:49,830
Hey, Bruce, he found something,
he found something.
287
00:19:49,870 --> 00:19:53,350
Yes! Idiot.
288
00:19:57,980 --> 00:19:59,980
Found vine old bottles.
289
00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:01,730
Find the treasure,
you moron.
290
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,685
We found his keepers.
291
00:20:39,725 --> 00:20:41,650
But it's not yours.
292
00:20:41,690 --> 00:20:43,470
It is now, loser.
293
00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:51,010
They're empty.
294
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:52,940
They're all empty.
295
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:55,340
Where is it all gone?
296
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:59,720
Washed away by the current.
297
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,435
So, what are ya?
298
00:21:11,415 --> 00:21:17,670
Are you interested in buying
some genuine antique bottles?
299
00:21:21,530 --> 00:21:24,850
My best offer would be $5.
300
00:21:26,298 --> 00:21:28,183
Each.
301
00:21:28,223 --> 00:21:30,400
$5 each?
302
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,700
And everyone
of them would have...
303
00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:36,660
The Sundowner's lips
wrapped around it.
