1 So, this is the clutch, that's brakes, the throttle. Yes, I know how a bike works. I grew up on a farm. OK, all right. Now, these bikes are a little more powerful than your average farm bike. Just take it easy for a while. OK. Will do. Right. All right. One for luck. (SNAPS HELMET STRAP) OK. (ENGINE STARTS) Be careful! (ENGINE REVS, RUMBLES) (ENGINE WHIRRS) (ENGINE REVS ERATICALLY) I don't think she should be on the track. Nah, nah, she's... doing great. Don't say that, Tom, you'll jinx it. (TENSE MUSIC) (GRUNTS) Ow! (TOM CLEARS THROAT) Well, I guess that's one way to stop. (CHUCKLES) (RELAXING MUSIC) I'm fine, Auntie Heather. I've fallen off horses my whole life. Falling off a bike is a piece of cake. You just take it easy for a while, Georgie. (RESIN ONE VS ORPHAN'S 'HOOK, LINE AND SINKER') Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.

Here it is ` two seconds a lap. Two seconds a lap? Becky, are you sure you're using that thing properly? It's actually kinda complicated. You have to push the button at the top. Funny! Ha, ha. I was going fast. You'd be going faster if you got off the bike and walked. Hey! I'm just gonna finish that work on Johnny's bike. He's got a race this weekend and he needs it. You said you'd say no. I know. But I promised him that I'd get it done, like, yesterday. We have another mouth to feed now, Tom. I know. Sorry. I'm tryin'. Well, be home for dinner. (CHUCKLES) Tom. (POIGNANT MUSIC) This is your inheritance. They've finally sold all your parents things... They sold the house. Yeah, darling, they had to. That's $3 million for you. I don't want it. Look, Georgie, we know this is difficult for you. Maybe you could have it. No. (CHUCKLES) No, this is your money. It's for your future. For when you're older. You could use it to buy a bigger house. (TOM CHUCKLES) That's not what I meant, I` No, George, it's fine. We don't need anything more. Besides, Ryan's getting used to his little new bedroom. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) (BIRDS TWITTER) (SWEEPING) Can I give you a hand with anything? No, I got it. Is this your dad? Yeah. I didn't know he raced. Yeah, he raced. He won! Whoa, he won a lot. (CHUCKLES) Not that he would care. What's this? Oh, this is the bike he won his first championship on. He was 16. Like you. I guess, yeah. It's beautiful. It's valuable now. It's a collectable. He must've loved winning. Well, I mean, everyone likes winning, but... Maybe. What does that mean? Well, he doesn't seem to care if I win. I don't know if that's quite right. No, believe me. No, he loves when you win. He gets so excited. What would you know? You don't know anything about him. I was just trying to say that` Look, you've only been here a few months. You don't know anything about it. So just stay out of it, OK? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... (SIGHS) (POIGNANT MUSIC) (SIGHS DEEPLY) 1 Just sit forward and grip the bike with your knees. Like riding a horse. I'll take your word for that. Now, just ride the track, but stay on the ground. Don't jump anything. OK, I promise. Just go slowly. Yes, will do. (ENGINE STARTS, REVS) Uh-oh. She's going too fast. Oh.

They like it their way. You know your horses. He's my daughter's horse, actually. She used to ride him all the time, but now she's living in England. I don't get much of a chance to look after him. Bit of an orphan now. I know how he feels. Are you with Tom and Heather? Yeah, they` They're good people. They've been riding the farm for years. Well, if you're gonna be out from time to time, maybe you could give Barnaby a bit of love. Oh, I don't know if I'm quite ready. I've got all the tack and stuff in the barn. He's probably better off` I'm sure he'd appreciate it. I mean, look at him. (CHUCKLES) He's a bit of a mess, all right. The least he deserves is a bit of a brush down, what do you reckon? (POIGNANT MUSIC) (UPLIFTING MUSIC) How come I have to sit in the middle? Because, Becky, you have the shortest legs. Yeah, that makes perfect sense (!) I'll sit in the middle next time. That's not what I meant. TOM: Don't worry, Georgie. Ryan can. Hey, Auntie Heather, I was wondering if I could get some hard grooming brushes and a curry comb. Sure. What are they? They're for grooming horses. 'Course, George. (UPLIFTING MUSIC) RYAN: I don't mind sitting in the middle; just I've got a sore ankle. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Hello. Sorry, what's that? I don't understand. They're doing what? Well, they can't. Can they? (KIDS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY) Sorry, it's hard to hear. What's that? OK, OK. We'll call you back shortly. Thank you. What's up, honey? They wanna take Georgia off us. (TENSE MUSIC) 1 So, what, I have to go live with Uncle Walter? No, no. We just have to have a chat about it. Yeah, but why? I don't get it. I just` I don't get it. Well, they think Georgia should be with them. They must have a reason. Well, why? We're doing fine, ain't we, Georgie? I mean, what will Georgie gain by going to live Walter and Margaret? OK, let's just all try and stay calm. (TOM SIGHS) Yeah, OK. Sorry. Sorry, Georgie. Everything's gonna be... fine. Why is this happening? It's just law stuff, George. I thought that was all settled. It's the money. What money? The inheritance. It's not the money. We have a meeting about it next week. We'll find out more then. Till then, let's just try and stay calm. Will I have to leave? I don't know, George. (SOLEMN MUSIC) (SIGHS) (BIRDS TWITTER) That's a nice dress. Thanks, Bec. What's going to happen today? I dunno. I don't know. Are you going away? No, I don't think so. Don't you like it here? No, of course I like it here. I just... I don't know if I get to choose. I like having you here. (POIGNANT MUSIC) Mum told me to give this to you. (POIGNANT MUSIC) (SIGHS) (ENGINES RUMBLE) (DOOR OPENS) Hello, everybody. Hello. Hi. Thank you all for coming. I know this is all very awkward. (CHUCKLES) It always is, trust me. Now, this meeting is to see if we can talk through any issues with the current arrangements of Georgia's circumstances and see if we can come to an agreeable solution. If we can't come to an arrangement, then it will have to go to the Family Courts, which is not what any of you will want, right? OK, shall we start? Now, Walter, you asked to have this conversation. How would you like to begin? We think Georgia should live with us. She would be better off. OK. It's great that we've got two families who want to care for Georgia. Do you have a reason why that would be better, Walter? We think we can offer her things that she can't get in her current` ...living arrangements. Like what? Let him talk, Mr Wilde, please. We're just discussing ideas at the moment. We can get her back into her horseriding. She's currently national champion, you know. Yes, I see that here. Congratulations, Georgia. We can` could do that for her. I mean, we have offered. We talked about it, didn't we, George, and you weren't so`? I` We believe that it would be terrible if` A waste. Yeah, if she couldn't do` ...continue with her horseriding. Because they don't have` ...have the means for it. Oh, finally. See? What do you mean? You're here for the inheritance. How dare you?! Now, hold on, everyone. Remember we're here to talk about what's best for Georgia. Agreed? So, Heather, you were saying. HEATHER: We talked to George about this a while back, and she said she doesn't want to ride horses any more. WALTER: That's ridiculous! She's a champion! My brother would be very disappointed if she wasn't following her dreams. Her father, Walter. Georgia's father. MEDIATOR: These are good points you are all bringing up. It is important that we are open` MARGARET: That poor girl is living in a very rough part of Auckland. It isn't safe for her. We can simply offer her a safer environment. TOM: Who do you think you are? (LOUD DRAMATIC MUSIC) (MUSIC FADES) (DOOR OPENS) (SNIFFLES) Georgia, I'm so sorry you had to hear all that. We're all... (SNIFFLES, CRIES) We all just want what's best for you. CRIES: I don't want any of this. Yeah, I know, I know. (EXHALES, SNIFFLES) (EXHALES, SNIFFLES) (BREATHES SHAKILY) What's gonna happen? I don't know, darling. But I'm sure we can sort it out. (SNIFFLES) What now? Since neither of the parties seem to be able to talk it through, we will have to let the courts decide.
