I don't remember anything...

Not even my name.

But I remember the day I came

here.

And I remember good the year

they say I turned 6.

I was angry that day.

But then I met you.

"Dear Mei Mei, my name is"

Dean Randall.

I'm from Australia, and I'm

"your sponsor."

"Sponsor... financial donor"

"or godparent in a baptism."

Yes, a parent from god.

"I work as a park ranger",

taking care of wildlife...

Animals and birds.

My wife, Jenny, looks after the

kids, Aiden and Maggie.

"And we live in Sydney."

"I want much seeing Sydney."

I want much meeting you.

"Yours truly, Mei Mei."

Yeah.

You know?

Yep. No, you're right.

So, okay...

Yeah.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Back of the line!

You can change it at the bank.

Hurry up!

Come on! Get a move on!

Please. Wait.

I-I have no time. Please...

no, no, sorry. It's got to...

here. I got it.

"Dear Mei Mei, we went to a"

Christmas concert at the beach

last week.

And because it's summer here,

it was really hot.

But it was a lot of fun.

I thought about you and

imagined you singing Carols

"with our children."

"Winter in China... sky"

always gray.

I like see blue sky, white bird

"in your picture cards."

"Our house is by the beach."

It's really beautiful.

On the weekends, we swim or

bushwalk or just stay at home

and play with the kids in the

"garden."

You are Mei Mei.

Wake up, miss.

Miss?

Mr. Randall?

Who wants to know?

How you do, Mr. Randall?

What are you, red cross or

salvos or something?

You sponsor me... send money.

I'm Mei Mei.

Right.

I'm... I'm Gary Randall.

You actually want my brother

Dean.

Where Mr. Dean Randall?

At beach?

G'day, Gary.

Cashish time already, is it?

Come on, Gary.

You must own a calendar by now.

Sorry.

Please, wait.

Wait!

Please!

Look, look, I big trouble later.

My last chance was Mr. Randall.

I-I go Canberra tomorrow, but no.

Mr. Randall... just

brother Randall.

What?

I need to see Mr. Randall...

Not that one, the other one.

Mr. de Randall.

Y-you know?

Yeah, I know where he is.

Please take me. Please.

Hop on.

All right.

Now hold on tight.

Lean the way I do!

All right, well. Here we are.

Hey, how about... how about you

call me?

My name's Carl.

"Cow."

No, no.

No, not... no. "Carl."

Yes, yes... "cow."

"Mei Mei"?

Okay. All right.

Well, you'll call me? Yeah?

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Hey!

That's it. Come on.

Let's go!

Come on.

You too. Let's go.

Not again.

Get out of the way.

Okay, first-timers.

We regroup at 4:00 sharp.

We bring back only what we take

out, all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course, boss.

All right?!

Yes!

What are you looking at?

I-I'm gonna sit there.

Bugger off.

Okay!

Address.

"Dress"?

No I.D.?

Driver's license.

You ask Mr. Randall.

He work here. He want to see me.

I don't think so.

Please? Mister, help me.

I need to see him.

I need to see him.

Please, help me.

Can I help?

Mr. Randall... you know him?

What's the nature of your

relationship?

"Nature"?

beach.

No, sorry.

How do you know Mr. Randall?

He sponsor... parent from god.

He send me money.

I go school.

Please, help me.

Okay.

I look after Dean Randall.

His m.I.N. Number is 256904.

I'll sign her in.

I'll put my extension number

here for future reference.

Thank you. Thank you.

Can you sign your name in

here?

Okay.

How you do, Mr. Randall?

I Mei Mei.

I am Mei Mei.

Yeah, I know you are.

I want to say thank you,

Mr. Randall... for school,

for write me.

It was... it was nothing.

It... everything... for me.

I learn english.

I can read... read your life.

And your picture cards.

Yeah, the postcards, yeah.

I bring gift for you, but...

They take it.

Yeah, the... the screws would

take it.

No... the guard.

Yeah, the screws

security-check everything.

Did they... Secure each of

my letters, too?

How'd you get here?

Motor bicycle. Very fast.

But...

"Cow." Honda.

H-h-how'd you know I was

here?

Your brother... uncle Gary.

Right. "Uncle Gary."

So, what do you want?

Want?

Yeah.

I-I...

I-I don't understand.

Nothing seem like your words.

Nothing looks same... no like

picture cards.

What do you want?

I want to see you.

I want to see Mrs. Jenny, Aiden,

Maggie.

They aren't real, okay?

Wh... what this mean?

It means they don't exist.

Why?

You really shouldn't have

come here, you know?

Sorry, miss. Visit's over.

Visiting a prison can be a

very confronting experience.

Everything is wrong.

I ask stupid questions.

It's probably not your

fault.

Mr. Randall doesn't get many

visitors.

Everything

is wrong.

My car is over there.

Well, technically, she's got

to be missing for 48 hours

before she's considered missing.

But she is missing!

Not technically.

Hey, mate. How'd you go?

Hey, good, mate.

Fletch is in the office.

Thanks.

How'd you go?

Yeah, good.

Mrs. macneil lost her job, so

she missed a payment, but she

said she could pay next week, at

the latest.

Stupid woman.

She'll get her husband killed if

she's not careful.

Hey, Brian.

Good. Good.

Dad, she said she could pay

next week.

Can't you tell the guys to leave

him alone...

yeah.

No, cool.

Just one... macneil.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You are not gonna let them

bug you... do you understand?

Get back to your cell.

Tommy.

Ta-ta.

You sprung?

It's macneil's wife.

Hands up, macneil.

It's your warning.

Please, no!

You know the rules.

Get him up, Dwight.

Now, you listen to me, all

right?

You tell wifey on the outside

that she respects my timetable,

and then I'll respect you.

You understand?

Then we won't have all this

nonsense.

You didn't see anything,

okay?

Hey!

He asked you a question.

Leave him alone, Brian.

He's okay.

His brother always pays on time.

How many years have you known.

Mr. Randall?

Many years.

We talk in letters...

And picture card.

Nice.

And did he ask you to come to

Australia to visit him?

No. I come with orphanage.

Orphanage?

We sing for choir festival.

Right.

I love music.

My daughter plays the piano

really beautifully.

Unfortunately, she's... she's

given it up.

Thank you.

That's okay.

She has disobeyed the

regulations.

All meeting with sponsors should

be organized through our

orphanage.

It's a waste of our time.

I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

There's no evidence that my

client was involved in macneil's

beating.

I'm aware of that.

This protection-money racket,

cashish... is this the head guy,

Tommy fields?

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.

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"?

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?

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.

"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."

Get out there now.

Come on.

Throw it up here, mate.

Oi. Hey.

I heard they, they got you

into a little talk.

Anything I should know?

Are you deaf, Dean?

Are we playing or what?

Go ahead. I'll be there.

Keep your eyes open for the

Beamer. Right-o.

Be good.

Yeah.

Yeah?

G'day, mate. How are you?

Make sure that it's straight.

Yep.

Hold it.

Hold on to the wheel.

Grab the brace.

Okay.

Good.

They want to know if I can

still stay with you when I...

When I get out.

Is that okay?

Yeah, of course.

Where else would you stay?

I don't know.

Come on. Time.

They've got those halfway

houses and...

I haven't seen you for ages.

Yeah, sorry.

That place freaks me out.

I've been, you know... busy.

Yeah, you must have been.

It's been, like, eight months.

Hey, look, I have been

busting a gut trying to organize

things for you.

Yeah, all right.

Hey, I need you to come in

today, if you can, and sign

something for my welfare

officer.

What, you... what, you want

me to just drop everything?

It's for the parole hearing.

Yeah, all right. All right.

I'll...

I can do it after lunch.

Okay. Thanks.

I'll let her know.

Get off, mate.

Right-o.

Yeah?

I want to see cow.

Cow?

Cow? Like a... like a moo cow?

Like a... "Moo"?

Moo-moo!

Moooooo!

Oi!

Hello, cow.

"Cow."

back off, Dave.

This is Dave.

Don't worry about him.

I'm gonna break for lunch.

Yeah, sure you are.

Hungry?

Yeah?

You want to grab something to

eat, or...?

I want see Mr. Randall.

What... right now?

Yeah, look, I don't know how

they do things in China, but...

I'm not a taxi service.

Hey.

You just want to put your arms

around me again, don't you?

Sorry.

After you.

I tried calling your brother.

He's not answering.

I meant to say the other day,

it's really admirable what

you've done... sending donations

to that child for so long.

Might tell my other clients

about it.

I don't reckon Gary's gonna

show up.

Because many of my clients

need my help to rebuild their

lives after parole... form

connections again.

Why don't you go down to the

workshop?

I'll page you if your brother

turns up.

Yeah, good job.

Yeah.

Yeah, turned out well.

Yeah!

M.i.n. number is 256904, report

to the visitors hall.

M.i.n. number 256904.

Hey, visitor?

Christmas, is it?

You're up.

You coming?

Hey!

Screw bring gift?

Yeah. Yep. Thanks.

Panda bring you good luck.

And the cd is our choir, but

about five year old already.

I didn't think I'd... See you

here again.

I stay here.

Where?

Here... Australia.

What for?

You are alone. Me too.

Now we no more alone.

Yeah, but... but...

W-w-where you gonna live?

Who's gonna look after you?

You look after me already...

Many years.

Now I can look you.

No, no. I mean...

How are you gonna cope?

You no want me stay?

You don't know anybody.

I know uncle Gary and his

friend.

Uncle Gary doesn't have any

friends, okay?

All right? He...

He has alibis.

Do you know what that means?

That means you'll end up like

me, in a place like this.

Why are you in place like

this?

You never said anything to me

about y-y-your parents in any of

your letters and what happened

to them.

What... what happened to them?

Don't know. Don't care.

They don't want me.

I don't want them. Okay?

Would you shut up?!

Dad, I want to go!

All right.

I've always liked the name.

"Mei Mei."

It's... it's good.

It's... it's a cute little name.

"Mei Mei" mean "little

sister."

Not even real name, you know.

I big now.

I can find a stronger name

myself.

"Mimi."

That's right.

"Mimi" is a bigger name.

I no more crying "little"

"sister," like that one.

Hey, I told you... shut up!

No!

Hey, leave her alone, will

you?

Both of you, sit down!

Or what, bigmouth?

You two... outside, or the

visit's over.

Hey! Hands off!

She's just trying to help,

okay?

You don't like outside?

Children cry.

No one listens.

That father no good.

He no listen her cry.

Yeah.

Look.

Like your picture card.

Can I come tomorrow?

For the buses, okay?

A-and tell them my m.I.N.

Number, which is 256..

904.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Why... why you always go

first?

Hoo!

Well, they've already left

for Canberra, but they said

they'll be back on Sunday for

the Sydney concert, so...

Do you miss them?

Your friends?

Yeah?

Well, it can't be all that bad.

I mean, you like our beaches,

right?

Yes.

I've never been to beach before.

How old are you, Mimi?

I old enough.

You know, you shouldn't be so

trusting of everyone.

You shouldn't even trust me.

Who's coming in the water?

But definitely don't trust

these idiots.

You're going in the water!

No!

Water!

Put her down, Dave!

No! Carl!

Hey! Put her down!

Let me down!

Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Hoo!

All right.

Come on. Open the door, babe.

Open the door. I got to pee.

Yeah, this is it.

This is our place.

Open the door, babe.

I'm going! I'm going!

Hurry! I got to pee!

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Shut up!

Let's go!

And we're home sweet ho...

easy.

That's Dave and Ruby's room.

And this...

this is our room.

Dave.

Or you can sleep on the

couch.

That's cool, too.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Get these out...

Dave's left his junk everywhere.

You can watch TV if you

want.

Got some videos and DVDs.

Ruby's?

No.

Actually... that's mine.

Y-you cook?

Yeah.

Yeah...

Yes.

"Hello, Mr. Randall."

I 6 years old.

One tooth go bye-bye, and other

wanting to go, too.

I learn abcs.

I learn good because I want to

read your words and see your

face.

Mr. Randall, I tell you

everything...

Things I no tell others.

You always there... hear my

words.

Friends come, friends go with

new parents.

I no see them no more...

But I see you.

Miss chen, she says maybe I was

born in the year of the fire

dragon.

"Yours truly, Mei Mei."

* happiness is just a little

* humans mostly are too large

Anna, I've already paid for

it, and you can't even thank me.

There is nothing wrong with this

model.

Mine's still working, and it's

been two years.

Calm down.

It is just a mobile phone.

"Controlling"?

He said that?

Well, you can tell your father

that that is because I know...

God.

Anna?

Mr. Randall.

Can I... how can I help you?

To be honest, I have no

idea whether you can legally

sponsor a child to stay here.

Yes, there would be legal

restrictions, but, yeah, I can

check.

Okay.

Hey, Dean.

Burned Robert yesterday.

I didn't say anything.

You didn't say anything about

what?

About anything.

Hold yourself up.

Hold yourself up.

Hold yourself up.

Hey. Hey. Listen to me.

This is just a warning, all

right?

'Cause I care about you.

I do.

You stay quiet.

What you think?

I don't... I don't know.

Ruby think I hot, then

sometimes she say I cool.

What happened to face?

It's nothing.

Don't worry about it.

That no good.

You must look after yourself.

Yeah.

You sound like my mum did.

Well, except with a funny

accent.

Got some more money for

you.

No, no, no.

No need to give me money.

I work already.

You work already?

Doing what?

Wash car.

I clean inside, outside.

I clean good.

Yeah. I bet you do.

Y-you sing pretty good, too.

I, listened to that cd.

It's good.

Old songs. I sing no more.

My voice not the same.

You said in one of your letters

that, miss fong told you...

I think when you were about

14... that you were too old to

sing anymore, right?

And... and that you want to be a

conductor now.

Yeah?

Well, that...

That sounds good.

My job!

I come sometime tomorrow.

Yep.

So, you're the first one to

leave today?

We going?

You call the hostel again,

please?

Yeah, I already called

them.

They just said the same thing...

Sunday.

No, but, hey. Hey. Hey.

Don't worry about them.

Worry about yourself.

Dad.

What?

About that course I was... I

was talking to you about...

I already said no, didn't I?

Well, I could still do the

collection rounds for you, and I

get a student allowance, so I

wouldn't need any money.

Where's that course gonna get

you?

Well, chefs make good money,

dad.

Hey.

Come here.

Have a look at this.

You walk straight into it.

It's all yours if you want it.

Dave.

Do you like girls, Carl?

No, no. Don't touch that!

What?

What did you say?

What?

Quit mucking around, Dave.

Get the car painted.

Yeah, we're on it, mate.

Change it... metallic silver.

Yeah, got it.

[ Jacqui hunt's "calisthenics"

[ plays ]

Good. Higher up.

What are you doing?

Take it off!

I'm changing the plate.

No, no.

We're spraying the car first.

You told me to change the

plate... I changed the plate.

No, no, no.

I come all the way down here to

help you out.

I don't want to touch stolen

cars...

no. Ruby, Ruby.

I don't want to touch them in

the first place.

Take a seat. Thanks.

So, what was that all about?

What do you mean?

Parole hearings can be

quite...

no. Not that.

What was that crap about you

testifying against Tommy?

Don't worry.

It's not gonna happen.

Then why were they asking?

'Cause they...

Gary... Gary, you were an

asset in there.

Now the parole board knows that

your brother has somewhere to

stay and that someone's gonna be

looking after him.

Hey, any more news about the

immigration lawyer?

Yeah.

You can't sponsor her because

of your record, but he can

organize a visa for her and look

for a foster family.

All right.

But it's not cheap.

It's $2,000.

Shut up, will you? Shut up.

All right, well, tell him to do

it.

He'd need an establishing fee

of $500.

That's okay.

And, as I said, you can't be

seen to be sponsoring her.

It would have to be anonymous.

Yeah, that's fine.

That's good.

Mrs. crenaugh, can you come

here for a moment?

Immigration?

The Chinese chick?

Listen, can you take

500 bucks out of my money?

Your money?

Yeah.

Mate, your money ran out six

months ago.

Why?

You keep stuffing up your

parole.

What are you talking...

there is no money there,

okay?

I am the one who has been

paying... overheads in here.

Yeah, but...

do you understand?

After all I've done for you.

What you've done for me?

I took the rap for both of us,

okay?

I'm the one keeping you alive

in here.

It's 500 bucks.

Can you do it or not?

Not if I have to pay Tommy,

as well.

Don't worry about that.

I'll sort that out.

Just make sure you get the money

to her.

You are lucky fletch has got

a big job coming up.

W-why are you still doing stuff

with him?

You're an idiot.

Where do you think I'm gonna

get the money from?

Jesus, Dean, grow up.

You can come in now.

Thank you for waiting,

Mr. Randall.

The board has reached a

decision.

Parole is granted.

You'll be released two weeks

from today.

Well, I'll tell you what I am

concerned about.

I'm concerned about fletch

taking more money than we've

agreed upon.

You're the one on the phone

talking to him.

If the phone's tapped, it won't

be m going down.

It'll be you.

I know, Tommy.

So this is your problem...

Not min all right?

All right.

Tommy?

Tommy?

Yes, Dean?

Man, I have to be a bit late

with the next cashish, I think.

Maybe... tuesday, if that's all

right?

Is he for real?

I mean, are you for real?

I just heard you're getting out

soon, Dean.

And now you're trying to wiggle

out of your last payment.

Don't do it.

Toddle off, Dean. Away you go.

For the beamer.

Thanks.

You good for Tuesday night?

Yeah. What is it?

Two this time.

Sweet.

How's your brother?

Yeah, he... good. Good.

Gets out in a couple weeks.

Fast pair of hands, your

brother.

Business expanding... be a real

asset.

I'll tell him you said hi.

Don't take all bloody day on

that thing.

Okay, Mr. fletch.

We do quick.

Hey.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Is that your daughter?

Yeah, that's right.

I've...

Got the...$500.

Terrific.

Thank you. I'll pass that on.

Count it if you want.

No, that's okay.

Thanks.

You all right?

Yep. Good night.

'Night.

Hello-o-o-o-o.

All right.

Hey.

Hi.

Come up.

N-no.

Come on, Mimi.

Got to learn to ride sooner or

Hop up.

What you want to do is put both

your hands on the handlebars.

Yep? All right.

And what you got to do is when I

Hey!

Thank you, fletch.

Now, Ruby.

Thanks, mate.

And Mimi.

You keep that.

That's yours.

But... look.

That's a lot of money,

Mei Mei.

Who are you working for?

Rich man. Nice.

Lots of cars.

He take our business.

What kind of business is it?

Is it legit?

Put that away, will you?

Is it legal?

I work hard.

Money's for us.

I not break a law.

Yeah, how do you know?

You sure?

Put it away!

You not believe me.

Well, just seems a bit suss,

that kind of money.

Why you no believe me?

I always tell you everything in

letters.

No lie. Always tell truths.

But you?

Picture cards all wrong... no.

Mrs. Jenny, no Megan, no Aiden.

And here?

You don't tell me why you're

here.

Why?

You want to know why I'm

here?

You want me to tell you?

Because I killed someone, okay?

Now, all we had to do was burn

down a print shop, and we were

gonna make a lot of money.

That's what Gary's mate

reckoned.

I'm sorry.

You know, the whole time, I

had a bad feeling about it.

But I just wanted that money.

So, you know, I just pretended

everything was all right.

There wasn't gonna be anyone

in that building, they reckoned.

Mr. Randall.

He died, Mei Mei, that old

man.

It was my fault.

Yes.

But you have paid.

I don't know about that.

And you have give me a good

life.

Well, you've got to live a

good life.

And not be doing things that

make you feel bad.

I don't feel bad.

Look, Mrs. crenaugh's gonna

try and help you, okay?

It's complicated, but s-she's

gonna try and find you a family,

and we're gonna take care of

you.

A family?

Yeah.

But... you are my family.

You don't want me?

No, no, no. It's not that.

You see, legally, I...

What I'm trying to say is,

you're gonna be taken care of.

All right?

When I get out of here, I'm

gonna come and see you.

All right?

I'm gonna get out of here in two

weeks.

Two weeks?

Yep.

So happy!

I will go to work.

You will see.

I can make money.

I will help you.

In two weeks, you will see.

That... t-that's him!

Yes! That's him!

That's him!

Nope.

Can't you help us out?

You have to calm down.

Hey, Gary.

So, my place, 8:00, yeah?

Two items.

Two different locations.

Yeah. Right.

Done.

Dad, I want to do one.

Seriously?

You reckon you're up to it?

I'm not doing it for free,

though.

Exploiting your old man, are

you?

Don't worry, kid.

You'll get your cut, you do a

good job.

You saving up for a new bike?

No.

I'm gonna go do that... that

course I was telling you about.

Did you get the money to my

welfare officer?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She got it.

How'd you go with the... The

other thing?

You know... Tommy?

Good. Yeah.

Spoke to him, and, you know,

it's fine.

He'll wait.

All right.

Well, I don't... I don't

think you'll have to wait long.

Got a big job tonight.

I don't want to know about

it.

Thought you were all right

with fletch now.

Why would you think that?

Well, the Chinese chick...

Didn't you set her up with him?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, well, that's where

she's working... helping fletch

with the cars.

All right. Got to go.

Here you go.

What's the urgency?

I want to testify.

Against Tommy fields?

Yep.

Good.

That's good.

Why did you change your

mind?

What difference does it make?

I mean, that's what you want,

isn't it?

Well...

I'm glad.

I'll... I'll let the

deputy director know.

The thing is, I-i have to

get out today, okay?

I don't think that

that's possible.

Come on.

I mean, he can make it happen

if he wants.

You people are doing deals all

the time, right?

Okay. I'll try.

I am here to help you.

Nice!

All right, wait.

If you lift up the black thingy

and then scrub right

underneath...

hey.

Hey.

Mimi, want to come on a

joyride with us tonight?

Joyride?

This will be fun.

Okay.

Good girl.

I want you to check through

the transcript of your statement

for accuracy.

My client will need a

decree of protection before he's

released.

You did the right thing.

Thank you, Mr. Randall.

I didn't do it for you, mate.

Well, I didn't.

Bring it back.

Got you covered.

No, you've got to get over it

and like that.

See?

Tommy.

You-know-who has been talking.

Open up!

Open up, will you?!

Hurry up!

Paperwork?

Here.

I'll be seeing you later,

Randall.

Did you hear that?

Mimi?

What is she doing here?

We get her hands dirty, she's

part of the team.

She's part of us. Understand?

This was not part of our

deal, dad!

Deal?

Which particular position are

you deali from, Carl?

You wanted to come.

You're in or you're out.

Uncle Gary!

What's going on?

You know her?

How you do, uncle Gary?

That's... that's Dean's

kid.

The... the kid he sponsors.

You knew this?

What's going on?

What's she doing here?

Let's go.

You all right?

Yes.

Well... good luck.

Okay.

Who wants to do the honors?

Here, I'll...

I'll do it.

You up for it?

Come on.

No, it'll be all right.

Carl, what's this?

You... what are you doing?

It's got nothing to do with

you, Mimi.

You want to steal that car?

It'll be okay.

No.

It'll be all right.

That's wrong.

You no can do that.

That is... this is bad.

Hey, Mimi. Mimi.

Shut up and let him do his work,

yeah?

No, that's wrong!

It'll be okay!

It'll be all right!

Shut up!

You gonna do it?

Mate, come on.

Let's just call this off.

We should not have brought the

kids.

Hey, there's nothing wrong

with my kid, mate.

Just leave it.

You will be like Mr. Randall.

You will be inside...

you don't understand!

Just stay in the Van.

Don't go.

Are you gonna do it?

Yeah.

No! Don't!

Don't!

Stay in the Van.

This feel no good.

No good?

"Feel no good"?

Come on.

What's that supposed to

mean... "no good"?

You bad father!

Come on, mate.

Seriously, mate.

Fletch!

I said shut up!

Come here!

Just had it!

Uncle Gary!

Right! Come here! Come on!

No! No!

Uncle Gary!

I told you to shut up in

there!

No!

In the back! Go on.

No, no.

Stay there!

Get in! Get in the back!

Stay there!

Uncle Gary!

Shut up!

Uncle Gary!

Uncle Gary, you help me!

Mr. fletch! This is wrong!

Get me out!

Hey! I'll punch your lights

out if you don't shut up.

Just ignore her.

Blue beamer, right?

Yeah... the automatic.

Get on with it.

Dave?

Where's Mei Mei?

Who the hell are you?

I'm Gary's brother.

Where is she?

She's with my

dad at the car yard.

Okay, well, you got to take

me there.

I can't, man. The car's hot.

I don't care!

She's in trouble, all right?!

Come on!

That should be down in the

garage!

Dean.

Where is she?

I don't know what you're

talking about.

I'm here!

Where is she?!

What are you doing?!

Just tell me where she is!

You'll bloody ruin

everything!

I don't know!

I told your brother!

Come on, fletch!

I don't want to hear...

Gary!

Hey, Gary!

Bring it back in now!

I just want Mei Mei!

You're gonna ruin it!

Where are you?!

Security 1 to base.

I need the police.

Roger that, security 1.

Dad! Dad, get off of him!

Where is Mei Mei?!

You shouldn't have brought

him here!

You're gonna bugger everything

up as usual, you bloody idiot!

No!

No! I'm here!

Mei Mei?

Mei Mei?!

Where is Mei Mei?

Mei Mei, just wait!

I'll get you out!

Mr. Randall!

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Stop! Let her go!

Just wait, Mei Mei.

Dad! Dad! Dad!

Let go of me!

Stop!

All right, it's over!

Just stop!

Let go of me!

It's over!

You're an idiot!

Hey!

Hands behind your back.

All right.

Run!

Go!

No!

Stop! Not him!

Stop! Stop!

All right, hands behind your

back.

You're under arrest.

No!

Stealing cars?

I didn't steal anything.

I got you out of here this

morning, and now you are

straight back in here!

You don't understand.

Mei Mei was in trouble.

I was just trying to help her!

This is so disappointing.

Do you realize that the lawyer

has almost finalized Mei Mei's

temporary visa?

Where is she?

Is she here?

No!

She is locked up, thanks to you.

But that's all right.

We can sort that out.

We'll find her a foster family,

andcan look after her until

then.

Is she all right?

Can I see her?

She can't have anything more

to do with you.

Why not?

Or with this place.

Do something right for once and

let her go.

What she needs now is a nice

home and a responsible guardian

and someone with financial and

social stability.

And that's you, is it?

You don't even know her!

But what I know is that she

needs help.

"Mr. Randall, I tell you"

everything...

Things I no tell others.

You always there... hear my

"words."

She was brought in last

night.

I have authority to take her

into my care.

Mei Mei.

I have an interim order here

granting Mei Mei temporary

protection status.

Mei Mei, this is what you want.

You can stay here in Australia.

You can stay with me while we

find you a foster family.

I go back to China.

But...

No, but, Mei Mei, you can stay

here.

You can start a whole new

life... a nice house, good

school.

No.

Thank you.

* happiness is just a little

thing *

* humans mostly are too large

for it *

* if you cannot feel the joy of

spring *

* shrink yourself, and maybe

then you'll fit *

* happiness is just a little

thing *

* humans mostly too...

Always you appear real to me.

Please stay real.

Please.

For me.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

D-don't move.

You're hurt... hurt bad.

You need to rest, Mr. Randall.

I'm sorry, Mr. Randall, but I

have something to tell you.

Children need me...

and I miss them.

So you...

You won't be here?

Yes. I will.

In letters.

And you will be with me, like

before...

But different.

Different.

Real?

I have a name for you.

May.

Mei?

That... that already my name.

May... may's spring in China.

And Autumn... here, it's Autumn.

So...

So you can be "may" in both

places.

It's a real name.

It's a big girl's name.

But, you know, in China, only

parents can give name to child.

May.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Where are you going?

To speak to the deputy director.

You don't need to speak

to the deputy director.

Yes, I do.

We had a deal, and he didn't

live up to it.

You didn't let me finish.

I've made all the arrangements.

They realize that they can't

fight any lawsuit you'd bring,

so you're free to go.

And joining the

Sydney children's choir today

is the dong ying choir.

Put your hands together and

give them a warm welcome.

This is the final performance of

their Australian tour.
