(TYRES SQUEAL) Go, go, go, go, go, go! Nowhere to run, boys! The Auckland 1A. It's the most beautiful, brutal high school rugby competition in the world. I like tennis. Well, um, my boys, they need new kit. And you could have your logo pride of place on their chest. What school? Southdown High. Southdown High? Yeah. Thieves and thugs. Hey, they're good kids. So how come they're running? Whoo-hoo! Nowhere to go! Where you going, brothers? Shit. # All I ever hear's the clock tick, tick, ticking. # So I'm 'bout my business and I'm running, I'm running... Why, Renee? Their millionaire mums and dads are just gonna get them off anyway. Let's just drop it.

Well, we'll soon find out. We've been summoned to Saint Isaac's. Her Majesty next door wants to see us. (CHUCKLES) Now the principal's been called into the other principal's office. It's quite funny. Come on. I don't like coming here. It makes me feel like we're the poor neighbours across the fence. Because we are. Look at these cars. Yeah, and they don't even belong to the teachers. Well, least we're gonna beat them where it counts. Save it, Vince. Don't mention the R word. (CHORAL SINGING) Come on! Thank you, Jan. Dianne Vining, principal. It's a pleasure to meet you, Vince. Rajiv. Dianne. Whipping those Southdown lads into fighting-fit shape and getting in to the 1A. It is such a feel-good, against-all-odds, story. Yeah, the boys really came through. Thanks to you. Can we get on with it? Saint Isaac's and Southdown High boys brawling in public again. What are we gonna do about it? Saint Isaac's has well-established procedures for pastoral care and discipline. As does Southdown High School. I'll urge all of the Saint Isaac's students to turn the other cheek should they, um, find themselves provoked ` again. You know Southdown kids. They're a good bunch. Plus, I know how to handle them. Most of the time. Look, nobody wants these boys dragged through the justice system. But public violence will not` We'll keep it on the rugby field, where it belongs. Is that supposed to be funny? Cos it's exactly that kind of attitude that has got us into this grief in the first place. I think what Vince is trying to say is that we'd all prefer our young men to channel their hormonal aggressions into character-building, competition-winning rugby. And tensions are bound to be up since Southdown cracked the 1A. Your lads'll be a bit anxious. I'm sorry? Our first game's coming up. They'll be freaking out. (LAUGHS) Saint Isaac's will eat you alive. Not once we've used your over-confidence to our` This is exactly what I'm talking about! They're just joking, Renee. Absolutely. Just friendly ribbing. All in good fun, love. Sorry. Constable. (SJD'S 'BEAUTIFUL HAZE') # It might be nice to smash the state, but it's getting late. # And mostly I'm just working for the man. # Hey, Dad. After you. (CHUCKLES) I killed it at diving today. Double somersault with a twist. Nailed the entry. On ya, babe. What's going on here? You sucking up with Mexican food? Well, Mama loves her melted cheese. What about sucking up to Dad? He's not pissed off. I'm pissed off, all right. What was it all about? SINGSONGY: Imogen. No, no, no, no! Who? Imogen from Saint Isaac's. Imogen with a mean-as car. And a rich boyfriend. What, so you picked a fight and risked injury to have a shot at another guy's girl? Did I not mention her mean-as car? Mana, you didn't think to say, 'Maybe not a good idea'? Well, she goes out with Scotty and Scotty's kind of a dick, so... Don't do it again. Oh! (KIDS LAUGH) Hey! Get out of it! (SIGHS) Dad? Yeah, be right there. Yes, I know. But come on, Principal Dianne, she's a pompous cow. She always is. Which is why I don't want to end up in her office again. All right? Copy that. Make sure of it, babe. I will. Kai's up! Sure you made enough? I knew you'd be starved from a day fighting crime. No amount of sour cream and cheese makes up for catching your own sons brawling in public. Sorry. I've had enough of this macho stuff. I'm over it. And you are making it worse, revving them up on the field. Can we eat now? - (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Yes. ARIA: I'll get it. I wonder who that could be (!) Lucky we made enough. You always do. We've got the grocery bills to prove it. You'd prefer they went hungry? I'd prefer our whanau wasn't broke. Kia ora korua. Hey, Christian. Sorry about earlier. 'Sup, Riley. ARIA: You were only sticking up for these dicks. Hey! MANA: Christian, all good? OK. Question is ` who won the fight? Us... (LAUGHTER, CHATTER) (LAID-BACK MUSIC) VINCE: You're playing with the grown-ups now. Time to get serious. Keep those hips square. Oi, Christian! What do you call this? Sorry, Coach. Excuse? Bro, do we know her? Is that right? Out late with a girl? (BOYS EXCLAIM) Bro? You guys don't know her. She's a girl from work. Oh. OK, OK. Well, young love's a beautiful thing. But this year we got to make some choices. Running around fighting all day, up late screwing all night is not gonna win us the 1A. Yeah? Back to work, come on. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Hey, Mana. Yeah? Keep running this for a bit, then in to 2B1s. Right. Come on, boys. Yeah, nice. Yeah. Oh. I've only got a few minutes. Left the boys doing laps. Circles to nowhere, huh? (CHUCKLES) Mate. You've met our head of rugby, John White. Yep. JW. What's this? Your lucky day. John has been singing your praises. (SCOFFS) I doubt that. It's true, mate. You got that pack of mouth-breathers into the 1A. It's a huge achievement. But you must know that it's not gonna go any further than this. Southdown can't possibly win. (CHUCKLES) Well, we start by beating you guys next week. Well, you could try. Or... you could help us instead. She's offering you a job, mate. Piss off. We want only the best. That's you, Vincey. (CHUCKLES) Your salary. More than competitive, I would think. F... Hey. Hey. Did you get the discount? 10%. I got 20% last week. You flirting with the butcher? Yeah. I've been whoring myself out for sausages because my husband turned down an amazing job at Saint Isaac's. Pretty cool to be asked though, eh? With a big, fat pay cheque. (BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY) It's all good. We get by. And we've already got a breadwinner. Sergeant Mackie's been on at me to do my detective training. Well, there you go. More money, better conditions... Longer hours, exams, all that study. Whereas if you took that job, I could ease back. You? Ease back? Yeah, I could be a lady of leisure. I could get used to that. What? With three teenagers in the house, and their mates. Yeah, cause working as a cop is really easy, eh (?) The Southdown team needs me. What about your whanau? Same thing. Mana and Tai. I mean, what, walk away from their team? You'd still be their dad. I just wouldn't be chopping frickin' onions on a Friday night. (SIZZLING) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Looky here, boy knows how to work. Hey, Tai. I'll try your sausage. Imogen! Slutty much? Hey, Imogen. Two bucks, thank you. Oh, no, I don't actually want one. I'm vegan. (LAUGHS) Where's your car? What do you think, Mads? Should I give him a ride? Only if his friend can come too. Oh, you bet. Bro. Bro! Walk on, rich girl. He's not interested. What? He wasn't gonna say anything for himself. And you're not interested, eh, Christian? Nah, got work to do. You kids hungry? GIRL: Yes, please! No, sorry, not enough money. Oh, how much you got? Three dollars and seven kids. All good, miss. All good. I don't know what kind of fundraising this is. OK, who wants onions? I mean, can't the school stump up just for the jerseys? You know my answer. Keep on sizzling sausages. They look like they're straight out of the '80s. They're retro. Kids like retro. Saint Isaac's, they spend huge on their team. A hundred grand just for the damn assistant. I spend on leaky roofs and special needs. The team is an investment, Raj. What's the return? We're a success story for once. What more do you want? Come on, I'm teaching kids how to win and believe in their dreams. Their dreams or yours? It's not like when you were young, Vince. This generation don't dream about being an All Black. They dream about being a Kardashian. The point is that` You don't think they're committed. You're wrong, mate. You're dead wrong. JW: That's it. Mix up! Contact! (BLOWS WHISTLE) Let's go. Let's go, push it through. Contact! Push-ups. Keep focused OK? Keep focused. (BOYS LAUGH) OK, boys! Dreams are free, but winning takes hard, sweaty work. OK? So let's get down to it. One team! One whanau! And where's Tai? (SPLASH!) (SMOOTH MUSIC) Just came to see my sister. And where the hell is your captain? Drive on to the next window. Welcome to KFC. Please place your order. Uh, yeah, two Zinger burgers, and your arse ` out here. Now! What the bloody hell are you doing, Christian? Getting paid. What about training? (SIGHS) I really need this shift. You can't just... You're the captain. You got Mana and Tai. What, you wanna give up the captaincy so you can fry chicken? Mum's benefit got cut again. I... I get it, I get it. We win the 1A, she won't need a bennie. You've got a real shot at being a professional player, mate. (UPBEAT MUSIC) (CAR STEREO PLAYS LOUDLY) When you gonna break up with Scotty? His parents have a place in Pauanui, so not till after summer at least. See you later, Tai. Flash car. What about training, huh? What about your team? I'm standing there like a muppet today, defending you lot to Rajiv, and you can't even be bothered turning up to training. I got a life too. Not on a school night. Go on. (OPENS BOTTLE) Circles to nowhere. It's all changed, eh, I mean, since our day. We'd have never have just not turned up. Maybe you're right ` and Raj. I'm the only one that gives a shit. They do give a shit. Just not 24-7. Yeah, but that's what it takes. Dianne what's-her-face, she gets it. JW gets it. Those rich kids at Saint Isaac's, they get it. And yet you said no to that job. Would you really stop work if I took it? Nah, probably not. Be nice to have the option, though, right? (BOTTLES CLINK) CHRISTIAN: Vince coaching Saint Isaac's? That's bullshit. It's gotta be. I heard him on the phone. He's headed over there this morning. Yeah, to tell them to piss off. Dad would never go to Saint Ballsacks. Exactly. Heya. How's it. Shardae. Do you have to? It stinks. He wouldn't, eh? Would he? We have been taking the piss quite a bit lately, eh. So we'll stop. It's too late. He's already made up his mind. OK, we'll unmake it. Let's go get the boys. I know it's a huge thing, switching sides. How did they take the news? Uh, haven't had a chance to tell them yet. Wait up! As you can see, the board of governors have approved a very impressive package. (CHUCKLES) I still can't` I mean... (JW CHUCKLES) ...that's more than Rajiv gets, I'd say. And you'd be correct. But you are worth every penny. We'll be making magic, Vince. You assisting, me leading. That's an unstoppable force. They want another go or something? (INHALES SHARPLY) - Think he does. - (KIDS LAUGH, SCOFF) Everything good? Saint Isaac's has it all ` money, legacy. You mix mud and spit here and make All Blacks. Yeah, we make history. So why me? Look, we know how to win, Vince. Because we know how to play. Offence and Defence. Oh shit. You're scared that Southdown High might beat you. (SCOFFS) The best part of that team, Vince, is you. And we are smart enough to see that. Hear, hear. Oi! Vince! Coach! Vince! Two zinger burgers and your arse out here! Come on! Go hard or go home, right? Don't bail on us, Dad! CHRISTIAN: One team, one whanau! BOYS: One team, one whanau! (CHUCKLES) BOYS: # Oh, when Southdown... Oh, when Southdown... # Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. I reckon you're right to be scared. We might just win. I'm sure you... (CHUCKLES) # Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. Your loss, Vince. # Oh, when Southdown... # Oh, when Southdown... # Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. # We represent Southdown College. # Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. What took you so long? (BOYS LAUGH, SCOFF) Let's get the hell outta here. # Oh, when Southdown... # Oh, when Southdown... # Oh, when Southdown... Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. # We represent Southdown College. # Oh, when Southdown goes marching in. # (BOYS WHOOP, CHEER) So Vince is about to go, 'Yeah, show me the money,' but his boys show up and suddenly all bets are off? Ae. (WHISTLES) Meke. But you could've done with the cash, eh? Mm. I guess it's better for Mana and Tai. 'Get a job,' they say. So I get a job, I do one shift and they cut my bennie. Like I can live on sweet F-A! Oh shit. Put food on my kids' table with sweet F-A! Yeah, but it wasn't food you were nicking, was it? Can I help? Oh. Hi. Listen up, boys. I almost let you all down today. Uh, you guys, you saved me from myself. It's all good, Dad. Not really. We haven't played one single game against the big boys yet, and I almost... Anyway, we are in this together. One team, one whanau. Christian. What's the story? Sorry, Vince. Emergency. (SLOW ACOUSTIC GUITAR) Too busy to come and help your own mum. Can we go, please? Need a ride? Nah, we should be good, thank you. Here's a good one ` buses are like your dad. They stink of piss and they're never around. (CHUCKLES) No. That's you. Hey, don't talk to Mum like that. I had to leave training! Vince is pissed off. All you ever think about is the rugby field. It's the only place I can go where I don't have to think about all this sh` I'm sorry. Mama's been a bad girl ` again. What did you steal this time? (SIGHS) Some pills for me and some bacon for youse two. Gidday, Vinnie. Need a lift home? Thanks, but we're all good, Vince. Well, I'm not sitting around here waiting for a bus that's not coming when a handsome man is offering me a ride. (LAUGHS) (GROANS) Hey, mate. Jump in. Shut up. We can't use the pool? I know, right. Someone pissed off the dragon lady. Word is it was your dad. Say hi to your brother for me. Let's go. (BOTH LAUGH) I'd invite you in, but the cleaner doesn't come till Friday. (CHUCKLES) Christian's a great kid, y'know. He could be an All Black. (SIGHS) Stop putting those dreams in his head. They're my dreams, Mum. Trying to make him quit his job so that he can kick a silly ball around. No, no, no, just cut back his hours. You know, he can do better than working the drive-through. We got rent to pay. I can help. Oh? I don't see anyone hiring you, Riley. I don't have anyone else, Vince. Christian's the man of this house. What's going on? Hey, son. JW. John White. Head coach at Saint Isaac's. And this must be your mum? Gabrielle. Pleased to meet you. Me too. Can we go in? Uh, (CHUCKLES) we're in the guest house. I see. Well, I think I might be about to make your day. Shit, no. You got to be kidding me. Offence, defence, mate. What's happening? What's happening, son, is we're going out for a steak. Poor Christian. His mum is so shameful. Tautoko. Effing Saint Isaac's. What have they done now? Stopped us from using the pool at diving practice. What? No. Because of me? That is so low. It gets worse. They're trying to steal my captain. What? Yeah. And how is that worse than what they've done to your daughter? I'm sorry. Aria's diving's important too. I'm allowed to be a little bit upset. That meat-head JW's trying to gut my team cos he's too scared to face us on the rugby field. Christian's a good kid. He won't be tempted. The family live in a garage, Ren. Of course they're gonna say yes. Christian's just one kid. Yeah, but he's my star. Mana and Tai, our sons, are your stars. Mm. Why don't you get behind them? Far, man. Why didn't JW ask us? What, to go to Saint Ballsacks? You gotta stop hanging out with Imogen. Putting stupid ideas in your head. I'm good enough, though. Yeah, so am I. But it doesn't mat` Nah. You're a lover boy, not a fighter. I'm a fighter. Bro, you're too nice to get to the top. You gotta have the burn to make it to the ABs. 'Better people make better All Blacks.' That's what they say. Yeah, it's what they say. Not how they select. (KNOCK AT DOOR) (GENTLE ACOUSTIC GUITAR) (CHUCKLES) They're all shut. Shh! Babe, I've got some news. What, Saint Isaac's tryna poach you? Did you tell them to... What? No. You're taking the deal? They're shit-heads, Christian. They're gonna give us a house. A free house, Aria. Then you can come and stay at mine, instead of me always having to sneak around here. Yeah, if you don't take off with one of those rich bitches. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I won't. I'm going for the top, and I want you to come with me. Dad's gonna be pissed, Christian. Yeah, well, me and Riley and Mum, we don't have all the shit that you guys have. We've got nothing. And you talk about rich bitches. What? You know what I mean. Did you just call me a rich bitch? Have you seen me? Shh. Nah, just get` Go! Get out! Hold on. Was that Aria? ARIA: Get out! Dad` Don't, Dad, don't! Who the fuck is that? (GRUNTING) Stop, stop, stop. It's me. Bro, what the hell? We were just talking! That's my sister! Mana, Mana, Mana. Leave him, bro. It was bloody Christian! (GROANS) He's been seeing her for months. (VINCE GROANS) You all right? My back. I can't move. Get to it, you two. Go to school. Hey. You wanna come to the hospital? I can't face him. Your dad still loves you, Aria. Yeah, and I love Christian. You're 15. Aria, are you two... Have you...? Uh, no. He respects me. Right. Good. Because you're too young for all of that. To young to fall in love? Last night you hated Christian. Yeah, I still do. Your tackling days were over 20 years ago, mate. Thanks. I'm gonna murder him. Yeah, me too. Well, good. Grab a spade. Aria says she loves him. She also said they haven't... You know. So now she's telling us stuff. Well, she's telling me stuff. It's you she's too scared to talk to. I'm a shit father. Aria worships you, babe. Nah. She hates the boy she loves because he hurt you. And your stupid team. (KISSES) Speaking of my stupid team... Mana's taking care of it. (SID DIAMOND'S 'THAT'S ME') # The coolest Nesian on the scene, that's me. # Steppin' out in somethin' clean, that's me. Bro, wait up! Nah, harden up! # Coolest Nesian on the scene, that's me. # Steppin' out in somethin' clean, that's me. # Ride solid through the streets, that's me. # Make it look easy, that's me. # (DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE) (BOTTLE CLATTERS) Don't hate me, brother. I'm not your brother. But you will be one day, when me and Aria get married. Yeah, if you don't ditch her first, like you ditched your team. We're gonna get a new place. Saint Isaac's is helping my family. I wouldn't do this if I really didn't need to. How's your leg? Sore. Damn, your dad can actually hit. (CHUCKLES) How's his back? Will he be at the game? That's not your business. Not any more. Later. See you, brother! On the field! I bring cheap balloons and a crappy card from the kids. So, how are you feeling? Been better. So have I. You pissed off the high and mighty from Saint Isaac's. It's us who are pissed off. They stole our captain. Who you then assaulted. I had Dianne in my office, threatening the rugby... court tribunal or whatever it is. What? That had nothing to do with rugby. Everything with you is rugby. Well, you know what those pricks did? They kicked the Southdown High diving team out of their pool. We have a diving team? Well, I think it's just my girl, actually. Ah, so it's personal, then. It's just your family Dianne hates. It's not right. I know. So as soon as you get out of here, please fix it. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) How many of those have you taken? Eyes on the road, driver. They're prescription painkillers, not smarties. I feel good, babe! Absolutely pain-free. Really? I should've taken these pills years ago. Hey. Can I help you? I'm as high as a frickin' kite. I'm sorry? OK, let's go home for now, eh? We'll come back later. But this is where` We were coming in here. This is where we were going. Oh, no. Excuse me! If you wish to make an appointment, can you please talk to my PA? And there she is. He's on some pretty gnarly pain medication. This is completely out of line. Can you get him out of here? I'm fine, baby, I'm fine. I'm fine. But you. You,... lady, kicking my daughter out of your pool. (LAUGHS) How do you even` How do you sleep? What about you? What? Assaulting a teenage boy who dared change teams! Hands off my daughter! A young man attacked by the Southdown rugby coach. I didn't know it was him. Our kid's got a future, eh. Mm. Like I had a future, before that` I should have you know that I am encouraging Christian's family to press assault charges. Oh, come on. We've known their whanau since those boys were 4 years old. And I'll talk to the rugby board about banning Southdown from the 1A. No, I don't think you will. Because Vince was protecting my daughter` Look, I don't care about the details. He climbed into my 15-year-old girl's bedroom window. So if you want to go public about that, it's all gonna blow up, isn't it. So let's forget about dragging people down to the station and barging off to the rugby tribunal, and just play the bloody game, eh? (VINCE LAUGHS) Was that the cop or the mother talking? It was the wife. You'd never do that to Christian. Or Aria. 'Course I wouldn't. I love you. Is that the pills talking? (CHUCKLES) The husband. But the coach is still worried. What about? The next dirty trick. Here, Dad. Oh, thank you. What's this? It's a guaranteed starting position. Full scholarship. The works. Come have a look at the NCEA results, Mum. Like, no one fails. No one. I could go to uni or something. Pricks! Vince! I knew it. When? When did they call? JW was waiting outside school today. Just asked me to go around` You see this? Coming after my family now. Coming after me cos I'm good, cos I got a future. You too? Mana? Uh, nah. No one talked to me. Gutting my team. Just sitting in that office of hers, picking them off, one by one! They didn't ask anyone else. Just me. So they must think I'm good. It's... It's not about you, Tai. Is this really what you want, son? To change schools? To sit in that flash car with that flash girl? No, Mum. A proper future. Good education and that. (EXHALES BREATHILY) They're scared, Tai. They're scared that Southdown will beat them Cos we will. Well, we can. But not if... Don't bail on us, son. Stepson. (PLATE CLATTERS) What did you just say? I'm not actually his son. Right. Well, you've just decided it. You are not going to that school so you can chase money and girls and turn into that useless prick in Australia who's supposed to be your father!
