If only we were on the same side. (TEAMS PERFORM HAKA) Yah! (GRUNTS) Come live with me in Sydney, play for my club, make mint money. I got scouted. - He's not going, Vince. - Oh, yeah, I know, just... not sure how we can stop him. Let's go. Hey. - Can I get a ride? - Sorry, bro. I need a... girl talk. Unless you wanna hear about my UTI? Nah, didn't think so. Laters! www.able.co.nz Copyright Able 2020 RAJIV ON PA: What a weekend, Southdown High. Our first 15, they did it! We're in the 1A final! We're gonna take on those people over the fence, Saint Isaac's College. - So we're all taking Friday off ` no classes on Friday for anyone. - (STUDENTS CHEER) Instead, each and every one of you will attend the match on Saturday. And if you do not show up, you will be making up time elsewhere. - We got this, Southdown. We can win. - (PHONE BUZZES) Any reason why Crockford hasn't shown up? Nah, all the boys have been sweet with him since the weekend. - (PHONE BUZZES) - OK. Get back to it. - Hey, Ren. - He needs our permission. - Eh? There's a parental consent section. Mana can't leave without us signing. Uh, right. Well, that's,... um... - Can we just talk about it tonight? - Uh, yeah, sure. Tonight. Brilliant effort. Keep doing what you're doing, you two. (COUGHS) Homo. Shut the fuck up, Marcus. - Says the teacher's pet. - (BOYS SNICKER) Coach's pet. Coach's slut. (GRUNTS) (UPBEAT MUSIC) - (GRUNTS) - TEACHER: Stop it! (BOYS GRUNT, YELL) They're slut-shaming Imogen, Miss! Ugh! Touch my brother again, I'll kill you! (ALL GRUNT) (MUSIC FADES) I don't know what to say. Violence will not be tolerated in this college. - Miss, Tai and I` - Did I ask you to speak? So much for keeping your head down, Miss Grimstone. Imogen and Steven, go outside and wait till your parents arrive. Go and look after the twins, please, Ms Paton. Premier rugby players five days out from finals, smacking the crap out of each other. I'll take it from here. (UPBEAT MUSIC) - Why are you folding? I thought you were tough. - (BOYS GRUNT) You wanna lose your shit, you pay the price. I didn't say to slow down. You wanna undo our whole season cos you can't control your emotions? You selfish fucking pricks. I'm trying to athletes, and you guys wanna be gangsters. Get down. Back up! Hurry up! Move it, boys! Now we see who the tough guys are. That's right. That's right. Little schoolboys. - (BLOWS WHISTLE) - (BOYS GROAN) If it wasn't for the game on Saturday, I'd keep you here all night long. Now piss off. Tai. Are you gonna tell me what that was all about? Those a-holes, they tied up a kid to a flagpole, left him there to freeze overnight. So you kick their arses ` after the finals. You think I'm gonna play with those shitheads? When are you gonna get it? You play for you ` Tai Roberts. Saint Isaac's will wipe their arses with Southdown ` you know that. And you need to be on the winning team. - That's what gets you places. - Is that why Mana got an offer from Australia and I got shit? You got me. I'm not here slumming it as a high school coach for any of these other arseholes. And what's this thing with this Steven kid? He just helps me with my homework. Does most of it for me, actually. You do what you gotta do. Just don't get caught. Oi, why are you limping? I just landed funny. It'll be sweet. Last night's pasta OK? I didn't think you have any leftovers with all the peeps at your house. (SIGHS) Are you still interested in heading up north to learn the reo? Yeah. I'm more interested in putting kai on the tepu. - Mm. - Vince doesn't earn enough to... - Hi, Mrs O'Kane. - What are you doing here? Oh, um, Aria's in her room. She was feeling sick at school, so I took her to A&E, and... yeah... (POIGNANT MUSIC) Aria? What's wrong? (SOBS) Aw, bub. (SOBS) (STUDENTS CHATTER) (PHONE RINGS) Nice work. Hello? Hi, Coach. It's Scott Crockford here. Hey, Scotty. You forget about training this morning? Uh, I can't play Saturday. - One more game. Finals. - Nah, I wasn't even meant on the weekend. My family are Saint Isaac's old boys. Look, it doesn't matter who you're playing for. If you want to be someone, you need` I'm done, Mr O'Kane. Sorry. Any reason why you're all stopped? Sir, the cops are here. (POIGNANT MUSIC) Bro. Oh! What's the occasion? Aria's not well. She, um... She had a miscarriage. Wait, what? Where is she? She's in her room, but her dad's with her, so we'll just leave them to it, eh? I'm OK, Dad. That's good. Good girl. Guess what. We got our bonuses today. Frickin' bonuses! - That's awesome, Gabe. - Yeah. It's for rent ` bills and that. And I'll be able to start paying every week if I carry on doing so good at work. That's wrong? Hey, boys, um, let's go out the back, go through some tactics, eh? - What about the kai? - You too. (DOOR OPENS) What's happened? It's Aria. New Zealand's 1st Lifebuoy hand sanitiser spray. Kills 99.9% of germs you pick up on the go. Just spray...and be safe. (UPBEAT R&B MUSIC) - MANA: Bye, Mum. - Tai. - Thanks, Ma. - You try not to smack heads with anyone else today, eh? Ka kite. - You OK, bub? - Yeah. I think the bleeding stopped. Good. (SIGHS) She's OK. (TENSE MUSIC) You know, this is about Aria now and not anyone else. Not going to work? I'll be out of your way soon. There's nothing here for me any more anyway, is there? Your job? Your son? I know it didn't mean shit to you, but that was Christian's baby ` my boy's baby. It wasn't a baby, it was a bunch of cells that didn't take. - Suits you, doesn't it, - this miscarriage? - Eh? Maybe you drove it to the abortion clinic yourself. - Maybe you and her are full of shit. - Hey. My little girl is suffering, And if you do anything to make it worse, I'll fuckin' have you. (PUMPING ROCK MUSIC) Get into him! It's finals time! Come on! Let's go, Southdown. Good work. Stay focused. Go! (WHISTLE BLOWS) Did you get in trouble? Nah, my dad was pretty stoked that I was brawling in class, actually. What about you? Mum and Vince have got heaps going on, so they hardly even notice me at the moment. They haven't even noticed that my knee is totally effed. - Are you gonna get that looked at? - If I do, they'll just say I can't play on Saturday. Well, Tai, you can't play on Saturday. Painkillers, Anti-Flamme, I'll be sweet. Look, come on, Tai. You're not gonna tell anyone, eh? You were defending my honour, I guess. Or my sister's. But I prefer to think mine. RENEE: Gabe? Gabe? She's taken off? Because of... Aria? And I may have threatened to punch her in the face. I'll put a call out at the station. And now... the next big bloody drama in the list of dramas. Yeah. You haven't finished school yet. You can't go. It can wait another year. Nah, the contract's for now. Look, when Jesse went to Australia, he got into some bad stuff. - It's really hard on young men. - I'm not him. - No, you're younger than he was. - I just wanna go and play. Mana, you can't go. It's in your contract. You need our consent. - You're fucking kidding me. - Hey! Don't you speak to me like that. You can't go unless we sign. So here's the deal. We will sign... if Southdown High wins the finals. (TENSE MUSIC) And if we lose? Then you finish school first. We got a deal? - Good. - (SIGHS) - Better win, then, eh? - We were going to anyway. Tell me you're gonna throw the game. Shit, no. - Vince! - Babe, babe, babe. Think about it. If we win on Saturday, he's not gonna bail. I thought we were on the same page, but as usual, everything is about you! Yes, this is about rugby this time, because rugby is the thing that's gonna keep him here, OK? Mana is captain. He's not gonna walk away. I know it. Babe, you gotta trust me sometimes. (PHONE RINGS) Sorry. - Kia ora, Cruz. - Sorry to interrupt your night off, but you might want to come in. OK, so, you picked you up on K Rd, and what happened? Barman refused service. She was too intoxicated. That's what alcohol is meant to do, you bag of dicks. So she assaulted him and the bouncer. Are they gonna press charges? I've spoken to them. I've explained that, you know, she lost her son, so we're good. But I was thinking maybe a mental health assessment. - Yeah, good idea. - Yeah. - Are you gonna take her? - Yeah, way to Middlemore's enough time for her to sober up, so... - You're a legend, Cruz. - Pfft. Shut up. - (CHUCKLES) - Right, Hangi Pants, you ready? I just need to put some lipstick on. - I'll come with you. - All right. RADIO: It's a big weekend for schoolboy rugby, as Auckland's 1A competition wraps up with the final match between incumbents Saint Isaac's College and their unlikely competitors, neighbouring Southdown... - Just getting some water. - Good, good. This isn't just their first time in the finals, it's actually their first season in the prestigious 1A competition. Now, while most would expect Saint Isaac's to take the trophy with relative ease, Southdown have shown any uncanny ability to string wins together. - Night, son. - And it certainly would be a fairytale finish if Southdown manage the win. We'd love to hear your thoughts on all things rugby. You know the number. New sport and weather still to come. (LAID-BACK HIP-HOP MUSIC) So she's free to go. Let's get out of here, girl. (SIGHS) So I'm not crazy. Emotional distress, Julian says. Mm. And a prick of a hangover. Mm. So that's it, then, until court. You're not going to court. No one's pressing charges. Hmm. Should've got friends who were cops ages ago. - Where's Mum? - Working. And Gabrielle? I'm not dumb, Dad. Her stuff's gone. - Is it cos of me? - Nah, of course not. You know Gabe ` all over the place. Um, I texted my coach yesterday. I'm gonna do the diving finals. I'm not match fit, but I want to do it anyway. Of course. When are the finals? Saturday. It's fine. Um, I don't expect you to be there. It's not like I'm gonna place, anyway. (CLEARS THROAT) I'm not coming home with you. Nothing's changed since yesterday, except I made the mistake of going for just one wine on the way to catch the bus. - The bus to where? - Palmy, to stay with my sister. - Your sister? - Yeah. The bible basher. - Didn't you see her at the funeral? - No. That's cos I don't talk to the bitch. Just come home ` to Riley. - Things will get better. - Yeah, for him they will, if he stays with you ` a proper whanau. - He needs his mum too. - Don't you get it? I... I can't face him. And What about Aria? She'll think it's her fault that you've taken off. Tell her... Christian loved her. And that makes me so happy ` that he loved someone. - You tell her. - For the love of God, Renee, just do this one more thing for me. WHISPERS: Thank you. You been avoiding me, mister? No. No, why would I... why would I do that? I called a couple of times. Did ya? Oh, I must've missed them. - I suppose you're pretty busy. 1A finals ` who'd have thought? - CHUCKLES: Yeah. Vince, about what happened at the Mount. I'm sorry. I knew you were married. I just... I guess I made up a story in my head that you were low-key separated or something. - No, not separated. Very married. High-key together. - Mm. Yeah. OK, this is me letting you off the hook. On... one condition. An interview before Saturday? You, me and Jesse Roberts. - Uh... - A chat with the two coaches before the game. It'll make great reading. And Jesse's already said yes. - Hi. - It's nice you came to watch. Yeah. Hey,... (CLEARS THROAT) your mum's gone away for a while. Inside? No, no, not inside. She's gone to stay with your auntie. What auntie? - The bible basher. - Bible basher? - Well, you can stay with us. Unless there's someone` - Thank you. Really? You wanna live with our mental whanau? Yeah. Ka pai. (LAID-BACK DUB MUSIC) Amazing. Thanks again, guys. Me and Seth are going to this cheap dumpling place. You guys wanna come? Uh, sorry,... um,... I've got training in the morning, early, so, yeah, I... better get home. - Me too. - OK. Well, see you at the finals. - Another beer? - Yeah. (LAID-BACK DUB MUSIC) Ah, yeah. Mushrooms? Oh, ae. (BOTH CHUCKLE) Oh! Only us. Kia ora, Ren. Kids. (LAUGHS) It's OK if Jesse stays for a beer? I've already had a couple of drinks. It's a big session for me these days. - OK, I'll ask. - (LAUGHS) What's going on? Just a couple of mates having... having a drink. (ALL CHUCKLE) What have you two dicks been up to? How's the knee, boy? Yeah, all good. OK. Later, boys. Hey. Mum and Dad made this deal with me about my contract. They'll sign the contract if you win the 1A? Vince told me. It's pretty lame. - Why, cos youse are gonna beat us? - (CHUCKLES) Cos if you need a parent to sign the contract, then what am I? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - VINCE: Hey, I think Jesse really has changed. - RENEE: Ugh! I'm glad you had fun today. - Idiot. - (CHUCKLES) Mmm. Honey, wait. We finally have our bedroom back, babe. I'm not waiting. - Ah! - Ah. I think Simone Leonard has a thing for me. (SCOFFS) What, cos of the hot rugby man thing? Nah,... because she kissed me. She what the hell? Well, I... I told her straight away, I said, you know, 'Whoa. Sorry, no.' You know? - And this was what, today? - No, no, at the Mount. Uh... Look, I walked her home, but nothing happened, Ren. And this 'nothing' that didn't happen was over a month ago. Yeah, I know, I probably should have told you earlier. Oh, when? Like last weekend when she came to our house? Or before today, when you spent the whole afternoon with her and got pissed? Hey, be fair. I got pissed with Jesse. - Ren, I said nothing happened. - You said you kissed her. No, I...

Yeah, Mr Patel! - Have you seen my tactics sheet? - Uh, no. - Morena. - Have you..? - What? - I lost my tactics sheet. - It wasn't me. - I didn't say it was! - Did you sleep on the couch last night? - No, Mum. - Why? - Because I don't know why, all right? - Where the hell is it? - Sorry. Tai. I'm just gonna ask ` did you take my tactics sheet? - Eh? - Well, look, I know you probably didn't mean to. Then why'd you ask him? I just thought maybe, I dunno, it got mixed up with your homework or something. Nah. You thought I was a cheat. Hey, are you getting back into running? What's brought that on? Nice piece ` you and Vince O'Kane chumming it up. And have you sorted the divisions within our team? I'll sub anyone that gives any crap, but it won't come to that. Plus, the opposition will have their own in-team aggro to deal with. Has something happened? Just keep your eyes on that same website this afternoon. (RENEE PUFFS) Hi, Renee. Did you see the piece? It's up now. It wrote itself. Anyway, I accidentally picked this up when I was with the boys. - I figured it might be important. - You figured right. Thank you. See you at the stadium tomorrow. I'm so psyched. Oi. Do you know it's the Auckland diving champs tomorrow too? - No. - What, you only cover the hot rugby guys? I... I can definitely suggest that someone cover the diving too. So, see you at the game tomorrow. Can I crash at yours tonight? - How come? - I just don't feel like being at home. Look, Tai, I... don't think it's a good idea. Why? We're just hanging out. It doesn't have to be weird. Look, it is, OK? It already is. Forget it, then. See ya. OK. Ah! Tai. - What's going on? - Nothing. Jesus, Tai. Your knee, it's fucked. Nah, nah, I'm good. You can't even walk properly. Game's tomorrow. You're not 100%, you're not playing. For Aria, to say good luck. For you. Your tactics sheet. - Where`? - Your girlfriend accidentally picked it up yesterday. You need to apologise to Tai. # I wanted you... # to see through my lens. # But you didn't look twice. # Oh-oh, yeah. # Look at my face. # Does it resemble the cracks under my name? # Skin faded blue with the freckles on your face. - Oi! - Ow! - Ow. What? - No more tap and gap, huh? Oh, what? Did you know about this, Coach? Mana's bailing on us. He's got a contract to play in Oz. - Wow, Vince. Look who the writer is. - I didn't even mention... - So he is going. - No, he's not. Says here he is. (DOOR CLOSES) I guess you guys saw the story. - I don't know how... - Jesse. Does he know the contract's not a sure thing? I'll go. You boys go home, get some rest for tomorrow, eh? Big day. What is it, son? Jesse signed my contract. - That son of a bitch! - Ren. How could you? - I say no to you, so what, you go to him? - You don't get it. I don't wanna be here. After everything that we have done for you. OK, Ren, just stop, OK? We can talk about this after the weekend. - No, we do it now! Jesse is trying to` - We need to focus on tomorrow, OK? Get through the game. You focus on this. Fuck... your... game! (BROODING MUSIC) - I can't do this. - Why, mate? Why... I can't keep... playing myself down. And every time I go out there, Christian's... I can't keep playing with Christian's ghost. (SOBS) Oh, mate. I feel sick. Nerves. You'll be right. All good, son? Yeah, I'm good. - You got friends going to watch? - They'll be at the game. It's a bummer they're on the same day. You'd think the Diving Association would have thought about that. I don't think the Diving Association gives two shits about rugby. It's the biggest day of the season. Vince, you don't have to tell me. Good luck. I mean it. I know you do. - Did you say goodbye to Tai? - He was gone before I had a chance. - I'm sorry, Ren, I` - See ya. - I don't know what...

PA: And now we have our final contestant in the under-16 division, - Aria O'Kane, who is representing Southdown High School. - Let's go, Aria. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Vince will have told them to get it wide, so don't let them. And target that midget Riley Deering, the fullback. DIANNE: Come on, boys. You can do it! (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) You need to, um, get the ball... and run with it. Good? - Sweet. - Thank you, sir. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) (DOOR OPENS) Oh my God. Vince! PA: Could all spectators please be seated? # And I thought I would not change. (SIGHS) - Ahh. - What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Uh, I must be, yeah. I think so. Mwah. # So shall we remain a distant flame. # All I sing about is you. # And all I think about is us. # Is it too much to ask for a little bit of trust? # A handful of hope and a pocket full of love. # All I sing about is you. - Whoo! - Go, girl! - Was that good? - Yeah, it was very good. I love you so much. Mm. I love you, Ren. Now get the hell out of here, or you won't get back! RAJIV: Go, Southdown! Lost it, ref. Quickly! (EXCITING MUSIC) - Go! Go! - Go, boys. Get stuck in. Make some tackles. Defence! Defence, boys. You prick. If I didn't have to go to the board of trustees to do so, I would fire you right here. We're still winning, Raj. We're still winning. PA: Try to Saint Isaac's. - Ah, shit! - Try scorer Sam Richards. The reigning champs are looking Good. Yes! - It wasn't a bad score, hon. - It was OK. - For someone who hadn't trained. I'll smash it next year. (EXCITING MUSIC) (CROWD CHEER) Boys, huddle up. Grab a drink if you need it. OK, what's going on out there, boys? I dunno. They know all our moves. Yeah.

It was Christian's shirt. Then play for him. It's your number now. Make him proud. All right, Tai, you're on. - Real? - You wanna play or not? Get out there. Make it worthwhile. (POIGNANT MUSIC) You call it. - Brothers on three. One, two, three! - ALL: Brothers! Mana. You OK, son? Yeah. Time to stop being scared of a ghost. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) Mum, look at Riley. Number 10. PA: And coming on for Saint Isaac's is Tai Roberts, replacing Ben Prior. (STIRRING METAL MUSIC) (SUPPORTERS CHANT) Let's go, Southdown! # Ru ana te whenua! (CROWD CHEER) Tackle! JESSE: Tackle, boys! VINCE: Get with him. Get with him. Put him on the ground! (WHISTLE BLOWS) PA: And that's a scrum for Southdown for what will probably be the last play of the game. Clean ball. (PLAYERS GRUNT) PA: Get behind your team, folks. This one is going down to the wire. Come on, come on, come on. (EXCITING MUSIC) (CROWD GROANS) (DRAMATIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC) Shit, shit, shit.

Yeah, sure, I'll be there in a sec. Turns out my sister's not the only one who's into older guys. Sweet. Have a good one, eh? (ALL CHEER, RAUCOUS POP MUSIC PLAYS) Now, what would it take for me to convince you to stay in New Zealand? Not much, actually. - What? You're not leaving? - Bit of unfinished business. (GENTLE R&B MUSIC) TEEKS: # I... # watched you slip away,... # slip away... # through my fingers. # When you left,... # oh, you took away... # some part of me... # I think I needed. # Though the pain in my heart, you'll always be part of me. # And wherever I go, # I'll always know that you're near. # In the tears from my eyes, # in the stars in the sky, # in the path of my thoughts, # I will find you. # In the morning sun, # in the place we were young,...
