Would help your chances at your

parole hearing. We'd look after you.

Very well, then. If you change your mind,

contact Mrs. Crenaugh.

Make sure Mr. Randall participates in

outdoor activities and weekly excursions.

I'd like the parole board to

consider the fact that my client

has been sponsoring

a child for many years.

Haven't you? In China?

I've met her.

She's a nice kid.

Um, if you want to see more of her,

I would consider the deputy director...

She won't be coming back.

Mr. Randall?

Can I call you "Dean"?

Uh, what happened on

the bus this morning?

- It's in the Doctor's report.

- Yeah, I read it...

"Self-sabotage."

You know, Dean, it's not uncommon for you

to be feeling anxious about your parole.

It's a big change in your life.

Do you want to make an appointment,

and we can have a chat, or...

- I can arrange some counseling for you?

- You didn't have to mention the girl.

Well, should I mention

you're a park ranger, then?

Um, she left this in my car.

10 years, you've been writing to her

and sending her money, she told me.

- So?!

- Why?

I don't know.

It's just something to do.

"There's a family of eagles nesting

in the bush near where we live.

I love watching them fly.

They do kill to survive,

but they also play.

They certainly know how

to protect their young.

If you ever come to visit,

I'd love to show you our beach,

and where the animals come to feed."

- "...the animals come to feed.

- You'd like it here.

And you can bring the other children, too.

We'd love to hear you sing."

"We'd love to hear you sing."

That's it for today.

Time for sleep.

Not yet.

We want to sing.

Yes, we want to sing.

All right.

Let's sing "Two Tigers".

'Dong Ying' 'Children's Choir'

Good morning, Miss Chen.

- Miss Chen. - See me

downstairs after practice.

From the top again.

Go on - one, two, three...

I've packed your bags.

- Miss Chen? - It's arranged.

You fly home today.

Big sister, please don't go.

Right, you lot.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

Out. It's an order.

Get out there now.

Come on.

Come on.

- Throw it up here, mate.

- Oi. Hey.

I heard they, uh, they got

you into a little talk.

Anything I should know?

Are you deaf, Dean?

Tommy! Tommy!

- Are we playing or what?

- Go ahead. I'll be there.

He has helped me for years.

I just wanted to see him...

He didn't reply to you.

He doesn't want to see you.

How do you know?

Little Sister, you're 16.

How can you be so naive?

You always get so carried away.

You have no idea how

complicated the world is.

If you can't appreciate

why I'm doing this...

- something is wrong with you.

- Yes, something is wrong with me!
