- That's the first time you've asked
the right question. Give it a try.
- What?! No way.
Why is Dan so hung up on this internship thing anyway?
- He's always been obsessed with being a vet.
- Julia, could you get back to me, please?
- He doesn't know yet. - He doesn't need to know.
ANNOUNCER: And looking very smart there, the Dulmoth ladies.
- This place is the worst.
- I'm- I'm gay. You can't tell anyone though.
- You haven't told anyone else?
I have these dreams about a ship. There are horses.
- There was a shipwreck here.
The horses - they made it to land, though.
But they died out long ago.
- I think they might still be here.

- Hey, Is. [CHUCKLES] You look terrible.
- Thanks [!]
- Were you asleep? - Yeah.
I just had this really insane dream.
- Was it the one where you're a Blue Peter presenter?
- No, I haven't had that since I was 11.
This was about an old railway track.
- Oh, yeah? - And the...
The horse was on it. - The ghost horse? Again?
Babe, it sounds like you're losing it.
- No, I'm not. Dreams can be signs.
- And now you've gone all spiritual.
- No, I haven't. - Hilarious.
- OK, well, I need to go, so...
- OK. - See ya.
- Yeah.
- AMANDA YELLS: Issie!
- [SIGHS HEAVILY]
- Hey.
Mum said you hadn't had any brekkie.
What's all this?
- Revision... for the equine first aid test today.
- [GROANS] I don't know why you put yourself through it all.
- So I can apply for the internship in Australia, Dad.
- Oh, go on then. I'll, uh- I'll test ya.
OK, uh, how many...
CHUCKLING: ...legs has a horse got?
- Oh, funny, Dad. Thanks [!]
- Oh, come on. What are your chances of actually getting
this internship anyway? Sounds like a long shot to me.
- Thanks for that [!]
- I'm just trying to save you some heartache, Son.
What, you're off to take it now?
- Oh, it's not till 3. I've just got a bunch of chores
at the stables first. - Well, good luck, Einstein.
[CHUCKLES]
- What's the point?
Forget it.
[PENSIVE TWANGY GUITAR MUSIC]
[HORSE SNORTS]
NICOLE: That's it. Pick your line.
- No way.
- Check out that water jump. - Just keep the propulsion.
- Bianca's gonna take it.
So, this is what they've been hiding.
Oh, trust Dulmoth Park.
- Caroline will hate that. - Everyone will hate that.
- So got this competition in the bag.
- OK, so she's, like, not fazed at all.
- Yeah.
- So easy.
Hey.
Are you two spying on us? - Come on. Run!
- [LAUGHS]
[SURMISING MUSIC]
[MUSIC BUILDS]
- Hey.
- Do you know where...
Is there a railway track around here?
- Yeah, I think there's supposed to be
an old logging track.
- Oh, really? Where is it?
- Um, not sure. Somewhere out in the forest, I think.
Around...
here, maybe?
Why?
- I just thought I'd... check it out.
[SIGHS] OK, I kind of saw it. - In a vision?
Cool. What happened?
- Well, there was a railway track.
And Blaze was there. Oh, and loads of the others.
- What do you mean 'others'? - Other horses like her.
- Like a herd? - Yeah, I guess.
Are you saying Blaze is wild?
- Maybe.
- [GASPS] Like the Kauri Point herd.
[SIGHS] I though they were a myth.
- Well, I'm- I'm still going to look for them.
I feel like I'm supposed to or something.
- OK.
- I can cycle up here, right? - Up there? No way.
Hey, you should take Blaze. She'd be like a tracker.
- But I've never gone out of the stables on Blaze -
I mean, without Tom.
- You'll be sweet. I'll come with you.
- [SCOFFS] Really? - Yeah. Let's go find us some ghost horses. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES QUIETLY]
NATASHA: Trust them to put a water jump
in the cross-country trials. Where is everyone?
- Oh. Maybe they're practising for it.
[PHONE CHIMES]
- Yo! - CALEB: Where are you?
- Issie had a vision
and Blaze might be part of the Kauri Point herd.
So we've taken Blaze and Treacle out to find them.
- CALEB: What?! Did you say Blaze?
STAMMERS: Issie's on Blaze?
- Oh, do you know where the old logging track is?
- What logging track?
- The one that Dad used to go on about.
The one they used to take out the Kauri forest.
- Oh, isn't it out by the swim hole?
- Swim hole? Oh, yeah. OK, cool. Thanks.
- No, but, Caroline...
[TWANGY GUITAR MUSIC]
- Hey.
- What?
- So, apparently my sister's gone off
to find the Kauri Point herd with Issie.
- I thought the Kauri Point herd died off, like, ages ago.
- Well, I thought so.
But apparently Issie's had a... vision.
- And Issie's gone on Blaze. - She's riding Blaze?!
That horse is totally unpredictable.
- Well, she thinks Blaze is one of the herd. So,...
- What? - Yeah, it sounds pretty nuts.
- Well, then. Better go after them.
- Don't you have your exam today?
- Yeah, yeah. Nah, yeah. [STAMMERS] It's not till later.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[HORSE BLOWS]
- You OK?
- Yeah. Yeah, just trying to remember everything Dan said.
Heels down, thumbs on top.
Eyes... open. [CAROLINE CHUCKLES]
I know I'm going slow. Sorry.
- You've just got to believe you're an amazing rider.
You've gotta relax.
- Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
- Just fake it till you make it. That's what I did.
- Wow. It's amazing you guys can do this. Just-
- What? - Take off on a horse,
go where the wind takes you, kind of thing. It's so peaceful.
- CALEB: Caroline, oi!
- NATASHA: Caught you!
- Oh, look. What are they doing here?
- The joyriders. - Hey.
Stella not with you? - Nah, Hamish has a game today.
- It's a bit unfair, isn't it,
how she has to go to all of his a million games?
- Yeah, and he never comes to watch her ride.
- Well, that might change soon. - Why?
- I kind of rarked him up at the marae.
- Did you?
- What are you all doing here anyway?
- We could ask the same of you, you lunatics.
- Well, it's my fault.
I think Blaze has a herd, and I think they're around here.
- Yeah, we heard you had one of your visions.
- Come on then. Let's check it out.
- You guys are coming?
- Yeah, of course. - Hard out.
- CHUCKLING: Hard out? Look at you blending in.
- THICK LONDON ACCENT: Yep. Kiwi as.
- Kiwi as.
- Hey, are you still blending?
- Yeah. Not ready to shout about it yet.
Caroline's the loud one. - Hmm. [CLICKS MOUTH]
Well, you should be the proud one. Come on, Blaze.
[CLICKS MOUTH] Come on.
- How come you and Issie are, like, besties all of a sudden?
- We're not; we're just friends.
- I mean, we were kind of spying on them.
- And their course looks really tough.
- There's this hideous water jump.
- Really? - Why? Is that a bad thing?
- Can be. I mean, you don't want to fall off in it.
- And Dulmoth Park are smashing it.
- DAN: It's OK. We've got Caroline.
- Yeah. Don't worry guys. I can take Bianca.
- CALEB: Hey, Izz, you're about to see the swim hole.
- Seriously, it's awesome.
- Yeah. Get ready to be totally blown away.
[SOMBRE MUSIC]
- Oh.
'No swimming - contaminated water.
'If contact with skin occurs, seek medical advice'?
- What?
- Could be an algae bloom.
- No, it doesn't look like an algae bloom.
- Must've just happened.
We were here, like, a month ago.
- That is so sad. I grew up in the swim hole.
You know what I mean.
CALEB: Yeah, good call, Izz.
- Hang on, what is that?
- They're bees.
- They're all dead.
- I'm not surprised. They probably drank the water.
- [GASPS] I wonder if that's why Gran's bees have been dying.
- That is so sad.
- NATASHA: Why? I mean, it's just a bunch of dead bees.
- Natasha! Bees are critical.
They pollinate 33% of the food that you eat
and 80% of flowering plants.
- Yeah, and he's 100% boring facts.
- What?
- That's why he's so good at exams.
- And I work hard. How do you think I know all the facts?
- I don't know. You were born like that.
Like a tiny baby Einstein.
- Hey, Dan, your test. W-we've got to get back.
- No, I told you it's not till later.
- OK. Just reminding you.
ISSIE: Hey, over here.
[INQUISITIVE MUSIC]
Guys, I think I found it.
- Wait, so, this is the place? - No, but...
[DISCOVERY MUSIC]
- Let's follow it.
[DETERMINED FOLK MUSIC]
- Anything seem familiar?
- No. Not really.
Maybe a bit further along?
[HORSE SNORTS]
- Oh.
The track just ended. Maybe we should head back?
- But I- [BLAZE NEIGHS TENSELY] Easy, Blaze. Easy, Blaze.
Easy, Blaze! [BLAZE NEIGHS] No, no, no, no!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Issie! - Caroline!
Please, help! [GROANS] Please.
- Relax! Just relax!
- YELLS: I can't!
- Loosen the reins and then try hold the mane!
- Caroline, I can't! Help!
- She's feeling your tension! Just breathe!
- Easy, Blaze. Easy.
[WHIMPERS, GASPS]
- There you go. Great!
[BLAZE WHINNIES] [ISSIE SCREAMS]
- Caroline, please! - You're leaning back!
Don't lean back! And keep your legs under you!
[ISSIE BREATHES HEAVILY] [BLAZE BLOWS]
- That's it. There you go.
BREATHLESSLY: Great. Well done. - [EXHALES]
- I can't believe how fast Blaze is.
- Nice one, London.
[BIRDSONG]
- Wait...
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
[MYSTICAL TONES]
[HORSE BLOWS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
[GASPS] Hang on.
[GASPS]
This is it.
This is the place.
[ISSIE AND CAROLINE LAUGH SOFTLY]
[HORSE BLOWS]
- Blaze and the other horses - they were right here,
weren't you? - [BLAZE BLOWS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
- I can't believe she brought you here. That's incredible.
- So, where are they - this herd?
- I don't know.
I don't understand, but this is definitely the place I saw.
- I have deja vu all the time.
I always think I've been places before when I haven't.
- No, but- - Yeah, brains are weird.
- Sure.
[BLAZE BLOWS]
[MYSTICAL MUSIC BUILDS]
- [GASPS]
[HORSE NEIGH ECHOES]
[UNSETTLED MUSIC]
[BLAZE SNORTS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
- Wait, wait.
Look.
Horse hair.
- And there's more over here.
- [SCOFFS]
Chewed bark.
They were here.
- Hey, I think she's right.
- See? They do exist.
But they've gone now.
- They might come back.
Maybe we should leave Blaze here.
- Yeah, but what if they don't?
- Yeah. I don't think they've been here for a while.
- Look, they're not here now,
and Dan needs to get back for his test.
- Oh. Yeah.
But we can't just forget about the herd.
- This place is huge.
We could be wandering around for days.
- Hey, Issie, we could get our dad's drone.
- Good luck asking for that.
- [SCOFFS] It's in a box in the garage. Mum confiscated it.
We can fly it over the forest. That'll be much better.
- That would be amazing. Thanks.
- Come on then.
- We will find them, I promise.
[FOLK GUITAR MUSIC]
I can't believe Blaze is from a herd of wild horses.
- CALEB: Although we're not 100% on that.
- DAN: I can't believe the Kauri Point herd still exists.
- We should tell Tom.
- CAROLINE: Yeah, he's still looking for Blaze's owner.
- You want to be the one to tell him
we took the horses beyond the swim hole?
- DAN: Uh, no, thanks. - CHUCKLING: Hi!
- I hate when you do that. It's so unsafe.
NATASHA: Yeah, stop showing off.
If you fall off and hurt yourself,
you'll mess up the trials.
- She's right - we need you.
We'll never qualify for the champs without you.
- Nah, you're sweet.
So, what else can you do? Can you tell the future?
Are we going to win cross-country trials?
- No. I mean, it's not like that.
They're more like... pictures and sounds.
But they feel real.
Like, one time, there was a boat and a bell.
- My nan reckons Issie saw a shipwreck from years ago.
- Yeah, it was like I was there; like it was happening to me.
[GROANS] It's hard to explain. And I know it sounds weird, but,
yeah, I think I've seen Mystic's,
like, memories or something.
- So you're saying Mystic came from a shipwreck?
- 200 years ago?
- Whoa, that's out there. - Why would he show you that?
- I don't know. You OK, Caleb?
- Yeah. I just-
There has to be an explanation. I just can't find it.
- That's because it's magic. Fact.
- EXASPERATED: I- Caroline- You-
- [CHUCKLES] Is he rebooting?
- Yeah. He'll be OK in a minute.
He'll just go back to factory settings. [LAUGHS]
- Hey, guys. Haven't we just done a massive circle?
[HORSES NICKER, WHINNY]
- You're right. We're back where we started.
- Oh, great [!]
So we're lost.
- [SIGHS]
CALEB: Anyone got a signal?
- Haven't had it since the swim hole.
- Hey, Dan, what time's your test?
- 3 o'clock. - In KP?!
- Greenfield.
- CAROLINE: Greenfield? That's miles away.
- And we don't even know where we are.
- Oh, no, this is rubbish. I'm really sorry.
- It's- It's OK. - No, it's not.
You're going to miss your test. It's all my fault.
- Look, it doesn't matter. It's all good.
- All good? What are you talking about?
- You have to get back. - No, I don't.
- What?
- Of course you do. - Look, can you just-
I'm not doing it, OK? I already decided.
- What? When? - This morning.
So just leave it. - Why?
- Because I can't... Caleb does tests. I-I do horses.
- SCOFFS: There's more to you than that.
- Um, hello, I-
- You've got to give it a go, Dan.
- But what if I mess up?
- Yeah. You're right. Better to give up really.
I mean, why try anything [?]
- Why is this so important to all of you?
- Because it's important to you and we care, you idiot.
- Yeah. - I don't know.
It just seems like a waste of time. - Dan.
- I just- I can't. - You have wanted this
your whole life... [ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER]
- OK!
OK.
- Really? - Yeah. You win.
Clearly, this is the only way
I can get out of this bush alive.
- Great.
- That's if we can get out of this bush alive.
- Don't panic, guys. I've got this.
I'm just going to get a bit higher.
- Um, guys, can I just say,
for the record, there is more to me than just tests.
- OK.
- I mean, I do loads of other stuff.
- Caroline, be careful!
- NATASHA: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't reach up there.
[ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER]
- I can see the swim hole. There!
Whoa! [BRANCH CREAKS]
- [GASPS]
- [LAUGHS]
Chill out, guys. Oh, help, help, it's so dangerous [!]
- Stop it, OK? That's- that's- that's dangerous.
[BRANCH SNAPS] - Whoa!
[CAROLINE THUDS]
- Ow. - Caroline, are you all right?
- I'm OK. But my shoulder... - [GASPS]
- Stay still. I'll check if it's broken.
- [YELPS, WINCES]
- Can you guys sing or dance or something?
- Like what?
- Like, tell her a joke. Distract her.
- Oh, like... - Oh, like, this is- I don't...
- Oh! Who's this? Who's this? Ready?
MUMBLES IN KIWI ACCENT: Caroline Burford,
that is the most reckless riding I've ever seen.
[CHUCKLES] It's Tom. Duh.
- That is nothing like Tom.
- What accent was that? Ow!
- OK, I don't think it's broken,
but it might be sprained. - You are so lucky.
That could have been so much worse.
- [WINCES]
- You OK, Caz? - Yeah, I should be fine.
- [CLEARS THROAT] There you go.
- Nice one, Dr Dan.
Maybe you're not as useless as you think.
- Maybe not.
- Guys, Dan is running out of time.
- OK, let's go.
[PROPULSIVE MUSIC]
Tom is going to kill me. - Dan, quickly - go.
CALEB: I'll put Charlie away for you.
- No, I'll do it. - Ohhh... K.
- OK, I haven't done the mucking out
or the horses or anything.
- It's fine. We've got it. - Just go.
- Go, go. - Thank you, thank you.
- Good luck! - CALEB: Good luck.
- NATASHA: Tom's going to go crazy
if he sees the stables like this.
- Remember, fake it till you make it. Bye!
[URGENT MUSIC]
- Road closed? Why? What's happened?
- Damage from the Hexronn trucks.
- But can you just let me go through, please?
I'm running late. - Sorry, bro. Hands tied.
- Come on.
[URGENT MUSIC]
[PHONE CHIMES]
- Finally.
Where have you all been? What happened to your arm?!
- Long story. Did they win?
- Yep. - Did Hamish score?
- Yep. - So they won their group?
- Yep. - Hey, do you want to help with Dan's chores?
- Nope. - That was rhetorical.
- What?
- Come on. Up you get. - What the heck?
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh, Stella, can you take this? - Come on, guys. Quick, quick.
- Oi, for Aramis and Charlie.
- Come on! Come on! Here you go.
- One sec.
- Come on, Caleb. You're so slow.
- Slow? You're only using one arm, you hypocr-
- [GROANS]
[ENGINE RUMBLES]
- Guys, I can hear Tom. He's coming.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Caroline, your sling!
- Go, go, go, go, go, go.
[URGENT MUSIC]
- ISSIE: Right, act normal, OK? [CLEARS THROAT]
- [WINCES]
- Whatever it is, I don't wanna know.
[PEACEFUL MUSIC]
[ALL LAUGH]
[URGENT MUSIC]
- Exam in progress? No, no, no, no, please, please.
[EXHALES]
[PLAINTIVE MUSIC]
[DARK FOLK MUSIC]
- You're back early. - Yeah.
I,... um,...
- Why didn't you turn up?
- How do you know?
- I'm your sponsor. They called me.
- Sorry. - [SCOFFS]
- AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Dollar? - No, now you sound Australian.
- Oh, same thing. - Hey!
- Take that back right now. - Hey, how was the test?
- Dan, you're back! - Dan?
- I didn't make it in time.
- What about your internship?
Don't you need to pass that test to apply?
- Yeah.
- He's got one more chance.
- I do?
- Sweet. - No.
Not sweet.
It's next Saturday.
- But that's cross-country trials.
We can't enter without five riders.
- No, you can't.
- So Dan has to choose. That's not fair.
- Yeah, well, he should have thought about that.
[DOWNCAST MUSIC]
- I can't let you guys down.
- You should take the test, bro.
- Yeah.
- So now, we've got no chance at qualifying for the champs?
[SIGHS] Dulmoth Park are gonna love this.
- Or Issie could do it. - What?
- You were great on Blaze today.
- That is true. - Yeah, no, that's true.
Like, you fully were. Seriously.
- No, no, no, no, no. I am not ready for this.
You keep going on about how impossible the course is,
and what about that terrifying water jump?
- You've been riding round on a wild horse.
I mean, you basically tamed her.
- It's not a bad idea.
Look, they wouldn't even count your score.
They only take the top four.
- Yeah, we just need you to participate.
- Yeah, and we can get you ready for it.
- Come on, Issie. You'll do it, right?
[DECISIVE MUSIC]
- [SIGHS] Well, I guess I can try.
- Yay, oh my gosh, welcome to the KP team!
[LAUGHS]
- Caroline, any reason why Treacle's still
got his tack on?
- Oh, I forgot, cos we had to do Dan's...
I'll do it now! - Good of you.
- [GASPS] Caroline!
[ALL WHISPER INDISTINCTLY]
- [INHALES SHARPLY, WINCES]
- Hey, are you OK?
- Yeah.
- Are you going to be able to ride like that
for the competition?
- Yeah, yeah. Of course. I'm fine.
Honestly.
- SOFTLY: OK.
