She is doing so well, And right before her first parole review,

She quits studying and Starts neglecting her work?

You know what this is? This is classic fear of success.

I don't know about that, But I do know her parole officer's not gonna buy it.

We can't mention this In the meeting.

A lecture and a scare might Be just what she needs.

But what if this woman's A hard-ass?

She'll take kris out of raintree And that'll be that.

Riding's one thing, But being a jockey?

The problem is, she has no idea What that life is really like.

Maybe you need to give her A good, hard look.

Can I help you two With somethin'?

Yeah, we're looking for A triumph bonneville.

We figured since you fix most Of the bikes in town, you might know where to find one.

Well, I do.

That makes things simple. We'd like to buy.Yeah?

I'm not interested in sharing My interests with you. You wanna sell the bike or not?

How much you offering?Well, let me see it.

Thanks for seeing me. My pleasure.

Evan tells me you're trying To find your mother.Mm-hmm.

Tell me about it.

She left when I was a baby And my father won't tell me anything.

I hired a private investigator And he tracked her to a lawyer in san francisco.

But when I tried To contact that lawyer,

I got this back.

It says that I can't contact her Or find out if she's alive. I mean, is that true?

I'd have to see the actual Agreement that she signed.

There is a case number here.You can track her Using that, can't you?

Dani, finding her Might cause you more trouble than you think.

I can't stand not knowing.Could you stand if She doesn't want to see you?

If she has another family? I've dealt with this kind of thing before.

Folks don't always like What they find out.

Just take some time And think about it.

Make sure you're prepared To deal with what you learn.

Okay. Thanks.

You know what?

I wanna know. I'll deal with it.

Okay.

Matt. Matt.

Matt, I'm sorry for thinking You said I ditched class.

Forget about it.

Really, I am.

Pretty much.

Well, don't worry about it. It'll all blow over.

You now, this is a first?What?

You wanting my advice. You sure You don't wanna go back to my house? There's air-conditioning.

Okay, look. I don't know What you should do.

But I do know that if Tina sharp is willing to bring you on, that's big.

If I don't ride with her, She'll never work with me again.

On the other hand, if you miss Your parole review...I'll be in serious trouble.

The race is at 9:00 a.M. What's it gonna last, 10 minutes?

I could be there and back Before anyone knows.

So you're gonna go?Well...

Why not?Because you'll Make me nervous.

So I do have an affect On you?

Sure you don't wanna go Somewhere else?

I have to get back. But you wanna hang out tomorrow?

Wait. You're asking me out?

Maybe.

Kris' evaluation?Which is not for you To read.

Okay. But you spelled "Stupendous" wrong.

Have you been in my computer Again? Damn it!

Why don't I see these things?Two words: spell check.

Hello? Damn it, bobby. I told you not to call here.Your bookie?

What?You heard me.

You know where your brother And I were yesterday? Ortiz's bikes.

We both felt bad that You had to sell your bike

To pay for truck repairs.

And we were there To buy it back.

Now, is that why You sold your bike?

Or was it to cover A gambling debt?

Just answer The question, matt.

Just answer the question. At least stand up for your own vices.

It was a debt.

I'm sorry.If it wasn't for your mother, I'd take a strap to you.

Or do you think that You're too old for that? Or that I am?

How many times have I heard You whine that your mother didn't give pete a chance?

Don't you know what he put Her through? Is that what you mean to do?

To prove you're just as big A fool as your father?It's not about that.

What kind of horse's ass Do you think I am? Of course it is!

Who are you trying to kid? You're talkin' to me, matt.

What do you want me To say?Well, you can say

That you're gonna stop... Before I make you stop it.

All right now...

Is everything all right?Uh-huh.

Uh, kris has to sign this. Do Either of you know where she is?Mm-mm.

You're not gonna tell her, Are you?

No, I'm not gonna Tell her. You are.

All right. You know What we're doing?Mile and a half, pull out.

Yeah. Pegasus hates being On the rail which is why I gotta get him used to it.

Do you want me to purposely Crowd him a little?

Let's see what happens.

That's a shame.

I thought it would take longer For him to find her.

Do you think that he did?If he called you in, He must've got something.

You okay?

I'm a little nervous, I guess.

Yes, sir. They're here now.

Mr. Garvey will See you now.

Have a seat.

Dani, this is mitchell harris Of harris and moskowitz.

How do you do, dani?I think that I've heard of you.

You have. We represent Your father's interests, and yours.

Why are you here? What's going on?

It's come to our attention That mr. Garvey

Has been attempting to access A sealed legal agreement on your behalf.

What's your point, Mr. Harris?Your client is a minor.

Her father is prepared To hold you responsible

For interfering in a matter Of great importance to him.

This is about my mother. It's of great importance to me.

You don't have the right To do this.Actually, we do.

I don't appreciate your threats, And neither does my client.

Dani, I'm prepared to help you If you need it.

And my firm is prepared To sue you for invasion of privacy

And bury you in lawsuits For the rest of what's left of your career.

Fine. See you in court.

Wait.

I can't let you do this.

My father sent you?Yes.

Okay.

What does he want? What do I have to do?

Drop the investigation.

She should be here any minute.

Your evaluation is Certainly glowing.

I think you used the word "Stupendous" four times.

She's really come a long way.So have I. All the way From oakland.

Uh, sweetie pie, Have you seen kris?

She's probably On her way.

That seems to be The popular theory.

Wouldn't you like A cookie?

I don't know Where she is.

You know she'll probably Walk in the minute you leave.

This isn't a good sign. We're gonna need to talk later.

Hello?

Kris?She's not in there.

I know. I've been pounding On the door for five minutes.

Do you know Where she is?

She's in the hospital. Kris took a bad spill.

There she is.

Kris.I'm okay.

I'm dr. Hoit. Kris has A pretty bad break, but it should heal up just fine.

No pressure on the forearm And no heavy lifting.

You stay low For a while, okay?Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Doctors always exaggerate. I'm fine. Let's go.

Whoa, whoa. We'll talk About that later.

You just concentrate on Getting your arm better.

Okay, can you Get kris home?Yeah.

I have to pick todd up. See you back at the house.

Be right out.

Okay.

I missed my review.

Your parole officer Was not happy about it.

She suggested you be moved Somewhere else.

What?What do you expect?

She placed you Under my supervision,

And you got hurt riding For someone else.

Yeah, but that was A one-time thing.That's what I told her.

And it better be true, Because you work for me,

Not tina sharp, Not anyone else.

Can you drive me To the track?

I just wanna tell tina I'm okay. That's all.

You got it.

Where do you think she is?Uh, probably at The kelly barn.

She's been riding For them.Oh.

Hey, there she is. Tina! Hey!

You okay?Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?

Well, I just-- I mean, It happened so fast and I didn't know if you went down.

Oh, I don't fall.

♪♪well, anyway, I have a race to win.

So I'll see ya.

Maybe I'll see you too.

God, I can't even imagine what you must think of me.

It's not you. It's your father.

He called last night from Wherever the hell he was,

And I started to give him This fake, cheery hello.

I just couldn't do it.

He acted like he didn't Even know why I was upset.

Sorry he sent That goon.

Goons beat people up. That was just a verbal assault.

And for the record, I'm pissed at my dad too.

Why?

Because he backed down Without a fight.

He didn't back down. I dropped the case.

He shouldn't have to suffer Because of this.

He's always talking about Helping the oppressed.Me?

In a weird way.

I told him He should've stuck by you.

God, I could never Say something like that to my father.

Ah, if I did, he wouldn't Pay any attention anyway.

My mom and dad spent A decade trying to figure out where we came from.

Tracking down the slave ships And the dates they came in.

Everyone should know Their roots.

What's this?The legal agreement My father wouldn't give you.

I made a copy.

I'm studying!No, you're not.

Well, I'm trying.

Burgers, curly fries, Sodas-- health food.

You can't race. You have a broken arm.

I was worried about you.I'm okay.

I'm sorry I said You should do this.Don't be. I had to do it.
