Daisy, he's too young.
Mummy.
Did you?
Man: And a man was arrested last night for indecent exposure as he ran naked through Piccadilly Circus.
Oh, Christ.
Your credit card, it's been declined.
What?
Stanley, he's dead.
Heiress.
Of a vineyard in New Zealand?
I'm Stanley's nephew.
Stepdaughter.
I leave equal shares, do with it what you will.
Money?
Not as such.
It's the property, plus two workers, Tippy and Gus.
This vineyard of Stan's, Wanda thinks I should offer to buy it off you.
We can't take the first offer.
We're not vintners for God's sake.
Now, I'm signing the offer.
The gold medal goes to The Stanley A.T. Reserve by Oakley Wines.
We won!
Oh!
I'm not selling.
I'm staying.
You bloody idiot.
You can't do this!
I just did.
Well, now I'm gonna get the legal ball rolling.
She can't just refuse to hand over my part of the asset, and then I'll be on a plane.
Ah, don't you just want to take some time out?
Sort yourself out.
As soon as I'm allowed to practice again, I'll take some time off.
Simone: Louis.
What?
It's about Edward.
Well, what about Edward?
He -- he's gone to the Law Society.
He went to the Bahamas.
He's not gonna recant his testimony, Louis.
He's not coming back to the U.K. What?
You're not going to practice law again.
Take some time, Louis.

These are the vineyard accounts, Daisy.
In professional vernacular, we are absolutely stuffed.
Oh, well, that's very professional.
Well, look, you wanted to stay.
It was either that, or sell up and head home a little wiser and a lot richer.
I know what you're doing and I won't be manipulated, Mr. Glass half empty.
Daisy, the glass is not half empty.
The glass is completely dry.
Well, okay, so we'll just go to the bank and ask for some money, it's easy.
My God, can I just explain to you how banks actually work?
Don't you dare try and banksplain to me.
Daisy, I am not gonna sit back and let you -- Actually, yes, you are.
You are going to sit back like your partner Edward is sitting back right now, in the sun, on a beach, in the Bahamas.
It's amazing what you can find out on Detective Google.

Are you having a heart attack?
You've got to stop creeping up on me.
I didn't creep, I was making heaps of noise.
Maybe your hearing is going, it happens to old people.
I beg your... How old do you think I am?
I don't know.
Old.
I'll take my wine now, if you don't mind?
Actually, I do.
And this is the Silvertons?
Well, it's not bad, I mean, it's not The Stanley, but it's not bad.
It's a capable wine.
It does what it says on the label.
It's amazing that two wines from grapes grown only a few miles apart can taste so completely different.
You put what is true into your wine.
I put my truth in there.
Everything I know to be true about life, the universe and everything in between.
It all goes into the bottle.
It's a small bottle to hold all that.
That's the beauty of it.
So, what can we get for it?
The whole lot, minus a couple of cases for personal use?
Well, you can't sell it all at once.
Well, I don't think we have a choice.
If we're gonna make this thing work, we need at least some of the wine.
To sell, to put in to other shows for tastings.
This is our number one asset.
Tippy, we are not going to make this thing work.
This -- this is not my life, this is not Daisy's life.
She can swan around playing Farmer Jane all she likes, but sooner or later, she's gonna have to sell.
I mean, it is inevitable.
The accent tricked me.
Reminded me of Stanley, but you're not him.
You're a long way off being him.
You're right.
I'm not him.
I would never have let this place turn into such a disaster.
Wine won't save us, Tippy.
Money will save us.
And we haven't got it.

Nah, no one picks them up.
Oh.
Come to mama, pretty things.
Ah, would you mind helping me inside with this stuff?
Yeah, sure thing.
Ah, what fresh hell is this?
Hmm?
Oh, it's my stuff from Sydney.
Daisy, did you not hear a word I said last night about tightening our belts?
My friend Griffin kindly paid to send this over, so no belts were harmed in the process.
Are your parents not with you?
They're helping birth a goat.
Oh, how delightful.
Why are you dressed up?
Where are you going?
I've got business to attend to.

What are you doing there?
Treasure map.
Oh.
Right.
Where's the treasure?
Um, out there somewhere.
I must say it's refreshing to see a child that's not on some device.
It's school holidays, why would I spend it on a computer?
Is your grandmother here?
Yep.
She's out back.
Thank you.
See ya.
Hello, Hilary?
I'm in here.
What can I do for you?
Well, uh, just looking for some advice really.
Um, about property prices and uh...
Always happy to help.
Ah.
And the, uh, the value of the, um... breast, um, equipment.
You have my full attention.
Oh, sorry.
Clothes.
[Laughs] Follow me.
So you're holding on to the winery now, are you?
News travels fast around here.
Alright.
What can I do for you?
Oh, just the basics.
Really, realistically how much is the land worth, what conceivably can I get for the wine, what's the monetary value of the award we won.
Little bit to unpick there.
Tell you what, I might have a few books that could help you out.
Oh get books, marvelous, great.
Mmm, lets have a look.
You do know that the real value in Oakley isn't in the land?
It's how you use the assets of that land.
Your soil, your vines, your staff.
Oh, no, a winery isn't just about land.
It's about potential.
I don't plan to keep it long enough to realize any potential.
Well, all you need now is Osmond's book of "Vine Management," and you'll enjoy this one, it's all facts and figures.
Ah.
There.
Cast your eyes over that.
Thank you.
You alright, Louis?
You're looking a little bit pale.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
Thank you, Hilary.
[Clears throat] It's just so interesting how exactly the same grape can produce such different characteristics in -- in the wine.
I mean, it -- it's all about what they call the terroir, it's about the sense of place where the grapes were grown, it's the sun, it's the soil, it's everything.
It's why a Pinot from New Zealand will taste totally different to one from Burgundy.
It's nice to see you enthusiastic about something.
Louis: Thanks, Sim.
So, um...
I was thinking, I-I met this kid today and she was just sitting there drawing a -- a treasure map.
And started realizing what a great place this is for kids, and I -- and I wondered whether J might like to... come out for his holidays.
Maybe you could bring him.
Let me think about it.
Okay, okay.
I'm not making any promises.
No, no, no, no.
I understand.
I'll get J to call you when he gets up.
Thanks, Sim, thank you.
Oh, yes.
[Knock on door] Yes?
So, this is what you've been doing all day.
Ah, no, actually.
I've helped Tippy with the back paddock irrigation lines.
Yes, I have done some unpacking.
And I've been picking out a dress to wear to the bank when I go and ask for a loan.
I've narrowed down to these three, and maybe this one or something.
Good.
Now, um, about the bank.
You're not stopping me, Louis.
No, I'm not stopping you.
I'm going with you.
Why?
Because... Do you even know what you're gonna ask them for?
Money.
Daisy, I'm serious.
What -- What do you want from them?
A loan.
Not a loan?
No.
I mean, have you ever actually applied for a loan?
Yes.
I've had a platinum American Express card.
It's easy.
Or should we just ask for a mortgage?
Daisy, we can't service a mortgage, we can't service anything.
There you go, Mr. Glass Half-empty.
But what we can do is apply for a line of credit.
We've got to find out exactly how much this place is worth, how much we're gonna need to get us through harvest and bottling a vintage, we've got to get quotes on repairs.
Well, I -- I can take care of quotes.
But are you getting on board?
Well, let's just say I've seen the potential in a going concern.
So, we're going in as a team then?
As mutual sole heirs.
Well, I can live with that.
♪♪ [Wind gusting, cat meows] Well, well, well.

[Sighs] Good day, mate.
[Sighs] See, the only thing I don't understand about New Zealand is why you would live anywhere else.

Well, yes, it's um, very impressive.
I gazed and gazed, but little thought, what wealth the show to me had brought.
Is that Wordsworth?
He's brilliant, don't you think?
Sorry, um, who are you?
Oh, ah, I'm Robert.
The, uh, the builder.
Ah, right.
Robert, the builder.
Yep.
Does anyone ever call you Bob?
No.
No.
Hmm.
Hello, beautiful.
Robert: Look at you.
I'm just admiring your view.
Mmm, it's very rugged.
What?
Time for a shower.
Nice to meet ya.
Oh, look at you.
[Chuckles] [Both laugh] Um, excuse me, what -- what was that?
I said I'd get a quote on repairs, and Robert was available, so... Oh, and he fixed the shower.
I feel like a new woman.
♪♪ ♪♪ How's this?
Oh, perfect.
For a cocktail party, not for a bank manager.
We need serious clothes, Daisy, with serious intent.
It's a $2,000 Poochie.
$2,000?
Well, your suit's Saville Row, so you're a fine one to judge.
My suit says authority, your dress says Espresso Martini.
Well, they both say we used to have a much better social life.
But fine, I'll find something a bit more businessey.
[Knock on door] Vic: Kia ora.
Oh, hi.
Daisy, you look like a flower on a summer's day.
Thank you, Vic.
But not too hotter day, otherwise then you'd be wilting.
Mm.
Anyway, I'm on my way to see Don and Marissa and I just wanted to check, no worries either way, are you two still... absolutely sure about turning down their offer?
Oh, absolutely, we are not selling.
In fact, we are going to apply for a line of credit.
Neat, excellent.
Totally thought that was the case.
Just checking all the things that need to be checked, ticking the boxes, sussing out all the scenarios.
It's just that... Just what?
We have a saying around here.
No one says no to Marissa.
Not the best result I know.
Still nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Even though in this case you haven't gained anything at all.
Um, there's no denying I put the work in.
To be perfectly transparent with you, son, the only reason we employed you was because we thought this was a done deal that frankly a monkey could broker.
Marissa: And our usual solicitor was on holiday.
I see.
But don't worry, Vic.
You're still going to be paid.
Well, that's great, that's great.
I mean, who could have guessed that they'd decide to have a go at making the place work.
Have they?
Oh, fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Fools is a bit harsh, Don.
We all know how hard it is to make a vineyard work, and we'll be there to help them pick up the pieces, should it all go wrong.
Oh, yeah, they're really making a go over.
They are off to the bank for a line of credit.
I mean, don't worry, I mean, they're not gonna fix the place up, then sell it to anyone else.
I mean, I am sure that if they were gonna sell it, that they would love to -- Son, I think you should just stop talking now.
Good, oh.
[Plate shatters] Daisy: Well, I figure if we're gonna talk to the local bank, I-I need to think like a local.
That's really clever.
Um, how are you gonna do that?
Well, I thought I'd ask you.
Oh.
What are the dos and don'ts of the community?
Oh, it's pretty usual stuff.
Just the stealing and murder are generally frowned upon.
No livestock in the library, though that one's a bit more flexible to be honest.
Right.
You must always pick up local hitch hikers.
Oh, yes, yes, well I picked up one last night.
Oh, good.
So, what could you tell me about the bank manager?
Mr. Talbot?
oh, he's a pretty straight up and down kind of guy.
So get straight to business then?
Good.
It's just I-I really want to showcase Oakley Wines as being something really full of potential, you know?
You're gonna be part of the showcase then?
Sorry?
Ah, the Behind the Vines showcase?
Yes, could you just remind me what... we're talking about, again?
Oh, it's the pre-harvest showcase.
The -- the Federation of Winegrowers puts it on.
It's a really big day for the wineries around here.
Showcase, okay, good.
Hey, you're gonna be so great at this, I know it.
Just make sure your business plan is solid, all your figures are correct and all quotes within acceptable limits.
Yeah, good.
I mean, that's what we get told anyway.
A lot.
No, we're -- we're all over it.
So, when's the meeting?
Ah, tomorrow.
Louis: And we're looking to build on our recent gold medal win and work towards increasing production.
PR is the backbone of any business.
It's about followers.
Striking while the iron is hot.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
And ultimately... we know that Oakley is a solid investment.
With award winning wines, and our own personal style.

We don't need luck, we're ready.
Well.
Oh.

We need to stop.
What?
It's the law of the land.
Daisy, don't be ridiculous.
Daisy, she's holding a turkey.
Do you want to turn up to the interview stinking of giblets?
Fun fact about turkeys, you know.
Apparently, during the rainstorms they stand staring up at the sky, transfixed with their beaks open.
Then they drown.
25 minutes we've been waiting.
I didn't put all that work in to be kept waiting by some bumpkin Bank Manager.
[Door opens, closes] [Telephone ringing] Oh, I'm, uh, so sorry to keep you waiting.
I've just had a rather a... difficult, um... Ah, it's so ridiculous, really.
It's only a stupid bird, but, uh, he -- he was our bird, um... My, ah, my prized turkey has passed away.
Yeah.
My uh, my wife, um, rushed to get him to the vet, but her car -- her car broke down and um... and Mr. Gobbles didn't make it.
Oh.
We are so sorry for your loss.
He used to meet me every day, at the gate when I came home... and today he won't be there, so... there it is.
Okay.
I'm sorry, again.
Ah, Oakley Wines.
Ah, yes, um, we're looking to secure a... A line of -- line of credit.

Yes.

Um, ironing, while the iron...
While the ball of iron is -- is struck hot.
So you want to make Oakley Wines a going concern?
Correct.
Hmm.
And your ultimate goal is to...¿ Is to sell it as a going concern.
Uh, actually, no, no, no.
We're building it up to be a proper winery, complete with award-winning wines to run without selling.
We're not ruling anything out.
It's, um, huh, sorry.
This isn't what we prepared for.
This is absolutely what I prepared for.
I'm terribly sorry, we're still wrangling over some of the smaller details.
Yes, but the larger detail is that we are absolutely going to run the winery as a going concern.
Yes, initially, in an attempt to make it an attractive investment for any potential buyers.
But there won't be any buyers, because we're not selling.
I'm so sorry.
Look, I know its not in your nature.
Could you at least try to be professional, for once in your vacuous, little life?
Excuse me, I am being professional.
This is what it looks like.
I think I know a little bit more about being professional than you do.
Oh, really, you mean, like the time you paraded around London with your penis on display and ended up in jail.
Oh, that was super professional.
I'm sorry, she's -- she's drunk.

Why don't we all get credit cards and well just put everything on them.
I know a film maker in Sydney who made an entire film on his credit cards.
Did he make his money back?
No, it was dreadful.
But he made it, that's the point.
No, Daisy, the point is that he failed.
Your concept of money is just fascinating in its simplicity.
See it, want it, buy it.
Don't even think about it.
I mean, look at this.
How much did this stupid thing cost?
That is not stupid.
That is Gucci.
I got it in Paris, it was $3,000.
You are not serious?
It's not about the money, Louis.
It's the experience.
My God!
What about this one?
No!
That -- that is limited edition Louis Vuitton.
Madonna has this handbag.
Daisy, who needs this many handbags?
What about this, what's your personal connection to this dangly one?
Oh, that's -- that's...
It's just, I-I really love this one.
Daisy, we are scrabbling around for money and you're sitting on a bloody fortune.
I'm not -- I'm not selling my things.
Oh, I see.
So, were all in this together until it actually costs you something.
Right, super cool.
Have fun with your handbags, best friend's money can buy, apparently.
[Gasps] It's an incredible opportunity, so of course, I thought of you straight away.
I mean, you do love your wine.

Sweetie, I can -- I can barely hear you, you're breaking up.
I can hear you fine.
Look, give me a call later, hey, okay?
Bye.
Do you know I called Petra and Jonty and Michael with the investment opportunity of a lifetime, and no one was interested.
Yeah, but, it's not an investment opportunity.
It's your money, Daisy, it's money that you lent them.
Money, they owe you.
Hey, I'll tell you what?
I'll give you some of my walking around money.
Okay?
It's not a lot.
You are my knight in shining armor, honestly.
Hey, Dais.
It's not a loan, okay, it's a gift.
Okay, I love you, kiddo.

N-no, no -- I just don't have a car, so maybe you could drive?
Yeah, no, it's not that, it's just -- The lasagne is great, and it's cheap.
Robert, it was a one-night stand.
Huh?
I'm sorry.
It's -- I mean, don't get me wrong.
It was -- it was a great night, it's just, I'm -- You're not looking for anything serious.
No, no, but we can be -- Ah, friends.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
No, yeah, you said that.
I really liked you, Daisy.
Oh.
But, uh...
I'm not gonna make a nuisance of myself.
I'm... far too classy for that.
Yes, yes, you are.
Okay.

Bro...
So, what I'm seeing is kind of a -- a vintage inspired, rustic, French provincial, Boho chic type design.
But, you know, eye catching.
Okay, okay, um, that's a lot of words.
I might have to look some of them up.
Oh, um... Now, Nic, about your payment.
Oh, don't worry about that.
Um, I've got a few things that I'd actually like to get rid of.
So, don't worry about paying me.
Just, let me sell my stuff at your garage sale.
Oh, no, it's not a garage sale.
It's a -- it's a pop-up boutique.
I don't think anyone around here will know what that is.
It will just pique their curiosity then, won't it?
A garage sale will get more people through the door.
Well, Nic!
Customer's always right.
Righto.
Ah, so, I've just got some dresses and some kitchen stuff I'd like to get rid of, so... Oh, um, well, it's just that the things that I'll be selling will be quite, high end, so... Oh, it's cool.
I'll just put my stuff at the low end, then.
Oh, you could use our coffee machine.
People love free coffee around here.
No, it's a pop-up boutique, and there'll be a wide range of items to delight the senses from -- from Louis Vuitton to Gucci, I'm opening up my wardrobe and letting peak view, peak inside.
Sounds like a deal, sounds like a steal.
Sounds like the sale of the century.
Well, yes, there will be some deals to be had, but please remember that these are high-end garments and our prices will reflect that.
So, you're encouraging everyone in peak view to swing by and check out your exciting pop-in shop?
No, no, pop-up shop.
Ah, pop-up boutique.
Alright, sweet as, so pop into the pop-up, and now, the hits continue on Peak View FM.
Piquing your interest from eight, till late.

It's perfect.
Alright, everyone.
Great moments are born from great opportunities.
Too many people in this world think that small is the best that they can do.
Well, not us.
We don't know how to do small.
Small is not in our vocabulary.
It's time for me to... sell my old life to pay for our new one.
[Applause] ♪♪ Um, I don't think people are gonna pay $500 for a dress at a garage, uh, pop-up boutique.
Are you kidding?
It's a steal at twice that price.
Anyway, they have to, we need this.

Of course, people are gonna turn up!
Anyway, smile everyone, we need to get ready.

Oh, these are lovely.
Now they're the only two, the only two matching we've got.
$1,200?
$1,000?
♪♪ Oh, bit steep for a second-hand dress.
No, it's not second hand, it's pre-loved Westwood, and you'd pay three times that in Sydney.
Well, chicken, for that price I could fly to Sydney.
But oh, it could go with this jean-dress I've got here.
Now I can feel a wee makeover coming on.
I could do something just marvelous with this.
Oh.
Yeah, well, I'll take this one, too.
Oh, that's lovely.
Ah!
♪♪ [Clears throat] Oh, who's this for?
It's for me.
A memento of the perfect night... never to be repeated, apparently.
Um... Oh, well, let me wrap that for you.

A tiddy.
A tiddy?

Interesting.
Be careful, Daisy.
Oh, I think you're being overly dramatic?
No, you're a threat, and everybody knows nobody say -- Says no to Marissa.
Yes, I know.
I've met more Marissas than I've had Mani-pedis.
It'll be fine.
Marissa, hi.
Daisy.
So quaint.
So, is there anything in particular you're looking for.
Oh, you never know.
You know, my back-up wardrobe could always do with a bit of padding out.
Oh, is that a Poochie?
I've said it before, you have a very good eye.
Oh, its lovely.
I'll take it.
Great, that's $500.
Oh, no.
No, its worth at least five times that.
No, it would be a crime to take it for less than $1,500.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I insist.
Well, $1,000 because were neighbors.
[Whispering] I have no idea what's going on.
[Whispering] I do.
And it's magnificent.
$1,200, that's my final offer.
Deal.
Oh, and I'll throw in these earrings as well.
Oh, you're too generous.
Not at all.
I'll take this plate, too.
Yes, help yourself.
Has anyone seen our coffee machine?
Hm.
That's weird.
I just thought we'd do better.
Oh, day's not over yet.
I hardly think a 12-year old's gonna make my fortune, is he?
You never know.
Rowan.
Thanks for coming.
Are you looking for something for your mum?
I mean, these things are quite pricey I'm afraid.
Nah, Mums more into leisure wear.
But I'll give you $3,000 for the lot.
Sorry, what?
Take it or leave it.
Excuse me, what do you want with a whole load of high-end clothes.
I'm not interested in clothes.
I'm interested in opportunities.
And this feels like it might be an opportunity.
♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ In retrospect, I should have put "free coffee," not "free, help yourself."
It's my bad.
I wasn't clear.
Daisy: I'm sure it'll turn up soon.
So, money man, what's the final tally?
Ah, $6,281.
Whoa!
We're rich.
It's not enough, Gus.
However, I am gonna sell my car which will add another, say $10,000.
Which still won't be enough.
Oh, Griffin was gonna send me his walking around money.
He was gonna put it in my account.
$10,000?!
Wow.
He must do a lot of walking.
Wow!
$10,000.
So we now have just over $26,000, which with a bit of creative accountancy, I think we can probably make that work.
And maybe once we fix the place up, the bank might have a change of heart.
Can we do it?
Of course, we can.
[Laughter] Oh!
Well done.
Thank you, Tippy.
What would you say to a little drink?
Well, I'd say um, [clears throat] "Hello, little drink."
How about "Hello, Stanley" instead.

Wasn't expecting that.
