AT SEVEN SHARP TONIGHT ` I DIDN'T WANT TO BE GLORIFIED AS THE MAN WHO FORGAVE HIS SON'S MURDERER. BUT FORGIVEN HE HAS, IN THE NAME OF HIS SON'S MEMORY. I NEVER LOSE HOPE. PLUS ` WE'RE HELPING CHICAGO GET PUMPED UP FOR THE RUGBY. GET IT? PUMPED UP. YEP, WE GET IT, JACK, AND, YEAH, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. SO, THAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR TEAM? ALL BLACKS? ALL BLACKS. THAT'S INTERESTING. AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN. (SHOUTS) OH, JESUS. NOBODY, AND WE MEAN NOBODY, IS IMMUNE. GIDDAY, MIKE. YOU WELL? YEAH, GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? I'M VERY WELL. NOT YOUR BIN? NO. ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY GLENNA CASALME AND ANTONY VLUG. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2014 I think just saw Tammy Nielsen on the news. What a talent. And what a voice. I heard her once at an afternoon tea, and she was amazing. And we have to talk about this Halloween prank. You give me so much on this show. And today we got him back. It was Tim Wilson. Everything about that prank was brilliant from the moment you walk into the lift. I think I was very calm. HERE'S WHAT CAUGHT OUR EYE TODAY. BAD NEWS IF YOU'RE A SMOKER. THE DUTY-FREE CIGARETTE ALLOWANCE WILL BE CUT FROM 200 TO JUST 50 CIGGIES FROM TOMORROW. FROM MY 'ITCHY AND SCRATCHY' FILE, SCIENTISTS HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT MAKES US SCRATCH! APPARENTLY WHEN YOU SCRATCH YOUR BRAIN RELEASES SEROTONIN, WHICH INTENSIFIES THE ITCHY SENSATION. AND FOR YOUR FRIDAY SHOWBIZ FIX ` ASHTON KUTCHER HAS FINALLY SPOKEN OUT ABOUT FATHERHOOD. IT'S THE GREATEST THING ON EARTH. AS SOON AS THIS CHILD WAS BORN, I IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO CALL MY PARENTS AND JUST APOLOGISE. KUTCHER ALSO REVEALED HE AND FIANCEE MILA KUNIS HAVE ALREADY RESERVED A TWITTER HANDLE AND INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT FOR THEIR LITTLE GIRL WYATT ISABELLE. Wyatt is an awesome name. TONIGHT WE WANT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO AN INCREDIBLE DAD, A MAN WHO'S GONE TO EXTRAORDINARY LENGTHS TO DEFEND HIS SON. WE INTRODUCED YOU TO IAFETA MATALASI EARLIER THIS YEAR AFTER HIS SON SIO WAS MURDERED BY TWO MONGREL MOB MEMBERS. WELL, TODAY SIO'S MURDERERS WERE JAILED AND IN A SURPRISING MOVE IAFETA STOOD UP IN COURT AND SAID HE'S FORGIVEN THEM. IN FACT, HE'S SAYS THE WHOLE ORDEAL HAS LEFT HIM A CHANGED MAN. HERE'S JEHAN CASINADER. IT'S LIKE I'M IN A CURRENT THAT KEEPS SPIRALLING DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN. THERE'S NO UPWARDS. SO THE ONLY WAY I CAN LOOK UPWARDS IS TO FORGIVE ON A WINTER MORNING IAFETA GOT THE CALL EVERY FATHER DREADS. THEY FOUND A MAN (25) WHO'D BEEN SHOT IN THE ABDOMEN. THAT MAN WAS HIS SON SIO. AMBULANCE STAFF ATTENDED AND TRIED TO RESUSCITATE THE MAN BUT THESE EFFORTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. HE'D BEEN KILLED AFTER A FIGHT IN A CAR PARK. I'M GOING TO GO TO MY GRAVE WITH THIS. THAT'S MY LIFE SENTENCE. SIO HAD BEEN IN THE ARMY. HE HAD A BABY AND ANOTHER ON THE WAY. NO ONE CAN TELL ME IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. I CAN'T MOVE ON. NO ONE CAN TELL ME IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. I CAN'T MOVE ON. HIS SON'S LIFE WAS SNATCHED BY TWO GANG MEMBERS. I'M LOOKING AT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. WE FIRST MET IAFETA WHEN AN IMAGE OF ONE OF SIO'S KILLERS WAS PUT ON DISPLAY IN A MAJOR EXHIBITION. I'M VERY ANGRY. THE PHOTO CAUSED A STORM, BUT THE ARTIST WAS UNREPENTANT. TELL ME WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION BEHIND THIS EXHIBITION? I FELT THESE PEOPLE WERE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS COUNTRY. THE PHOTO STAYED UP, AND IAFETA MADE PEACE WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER. 24-7, UNTIL I SLEEP. SIO'S ACCUSED KILLERS FACED A THREE-WEEK TRIAL. I HAVE TO BE HONEST, EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THEM, I FEEL THE ANGER BOILING. THE TWO MEN SHOWED NO REMORSE. WERE YOU INTIMIDATED BY THEM AT ALL? NOT AT ALL. IT'S VERY HARD TO INTIMIDATE ME. IN COURT TODAY HE LOOKED THE KILLERS STRAIGHT IN THE EYE. SHANE AND DILLIN, I FORGIVE YOU. IAFETA ASKED THE JUDGE TO LET THE MEN GO FREE. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE GLORIFIED AS THE MAN WHO FORGAVE HIS SON'S MURDERERS. I DON'T WANT THAT. HE DID IT FOR SIO. I THINK IS THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED ME TO SAY. I'VE DONE WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO DO, SON. I'M A CHRISTIAN. MY FAITH IN GOD NEVER SUBSIDED. SHANE HARRISON AND DILLIN PAKAI WERE JAILED TODAY. THEIR FAMILY, THEIR WHANAU ARE VICTIMS TOO. IAFETA SAYS HE'S HUMBLED BY THE OUTPOURING OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR HIS FAMILY. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE A CHANGED MAN? I'VE CHANGED A LOT. I AM A CHANGED MAN. THE KIND OF MAN HE HOPES HIS SON WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW BAD THINGS ARE. GOOD ALWAYS WINS. You are a bigger person than I could ever be. It Is one thing to show forgiveness when the killers show remorse, but it is another when there standing up there acting like that. COMING UP ON SEVEN SHARP ` ONE OF THESE IS THE ALL BLACKS CAPTAIN. OK. RICHARD MCCAW, JACK TAME. I'D PROBABLY SAY, UH,... JACK? NICE TRY, JACK. BUT THE AMERICANS JUST DON'T GET RUGBY. JUST NOT INTERESTED IN RUGBY. SIMILAR TO SOCCER, THOUGH, RIGHT? NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL? UH... NO... NO. AND SORRY, BUT WE JUST COULDN'T RESIST. SCREAMS Happy Halloween. In the break I was giving some parenting advice. THEY'RE OUR BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SPORTING SIDE. AS WE SAW DURING THE RUGBY WORLD CUP, THE ALL BLACKS HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING THIS COUNTRY TO A GRINDING HALT, AND OFTEN THE MOOD OF THE NATION REFLECTS HOW THE BOYS ARE PERFORMING. BUT IN CHICAGO, WHERE THEY'RE PLAYING THIS WEEKEND, IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. PEOPLE DON'T JUST STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND WHO THE BOYS ARE, THEY ALSO STRUGGLE WITH HOW THE GAME OF RUGBY ACTUALLY WORKS, AS JACK TAME FOUND OUT. IT WAS MID-AFTERNOON AT THE CHICAGO BEAN. AND WE'RE HELPING CHICAGO GET PUMPED UP ABOUT THE RUGBY. PUMPED UP. GET IT? YES, THAT SORT OF QUICK-FIRE REPARTEE ISN'T LOST ON CHICAGO'S FINE FOLK. THOUGH, APPARENTLY THE RUGBY KIND OF IS. CAN I JUST ASK, ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE RUGBY GAME THIS WEEKEND? RUGBY? UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE IS HAVING A BABY THIS WEEKEND, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GO. THAT IS SO SELFISH OF HER! VERY SELFISH, ISN'T IT? IT WASN'T SO MUCH THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. JUST NOT INTERESTED IN RUGBY. SIMILAR TO SOCCER, THOUGH, RIGHT? NOPE, NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. IT'S MORE THAT SOME STUFF WAS LOST IN TRANSLATION. THE ALL BLACKS CAPTAIN? YEAH, THE ALL BLACKS ARE OUR TEAM. THAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR TEAM? THE ALL BLACKS?? THAT'S INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW WHAT RUGBY IS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT RUGBY IS? DO YOU HIT IT WITH A STICK? NO, THAT'S CROCHET. NEVER MIND! (LAUGHS) SOMETIMES CHANGE STARTS AT THE TOP. ACROSS TOWN IN CHICAGO TODAY, THAT GLISTENING TROPHY, A GREAT OF OUR GAME MET SOME GREATS OF NFL FOOTBALL. IS IT A BIT RANDO HAVING RUGBY IN AMERICA? A BIT RANDO? (LAUGHS) HONESTLY IT'S A BIT WEIRD, ISN'T IT? I SUPPOSE IT IS. I MEAN, I NEVER PLAYED HERE. BUT IT'S GROWING, MAN. IT'S GETTING BIG. AND SPEAKING OF BIG, MEET THE GUY CHRISTIAN CULLEN HAD TO TEACH TO PLAY RUGBY. WHAT WAS YOUR NICKNAME BACK IN THE DAY? D-ANIMAL. YEP, D-ANIMAL. DAN HAMPTON IS A BEARS SUPER BOWL CHAMP, WHO RECKONS HE'D BE OK AT OUR GAME. THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF BODY THAT ARE VERY SUITABLE. AND I WOULD'VE BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AS AN INSIDE CENTRE. YEAH, I THINK SO. FOR THE RECORD, OLD CC HELD HIS OWN. THOUGH THOSE YOUNG NFL GUYS WERE PICKING IT UP PRETTY FAST. YOU KNOW NOT TO THROW IT ON THE GROUND, DON'T YOU? I KNOW NOT TO DO THAT. YOU THROW IT BACK TO YOUR TEAMMATE. YEAH, YOU ALSO CAN KICK. WITH THAT SORT OF ENTHUSIASM, WE COULDN'T HELP BUT PASS IT ON. YOU'D BE A GOOD SCRUMMAGER. SO IF YOU GO LIKE THIS... ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. BACKWARDS, BACKWARDS, BACKWARDS, BACKWARDS. SEE, YOU COULD BE GOOD AT RUGBY! YOU COULD TAKE ON THE ALL BLACKS. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IN CHICAGO, AS THINGS TURNED OUT, THERE'S A BENEFIT TO BEING NAIVE ON THE PIGSKIN FRONT. SO, I'LL GIVE YOU TWO NAMES. ONE OF THESE IS THE ALL BLACKS CAPTAIN, OK? RICHARD MCCAW, JACK TAME. I WOULD PROBABLY SAY... AHH... JACK? THAT'S IT. WELL DONE. NO, CONGRATULATIONS. YEAH, HE'S WIDELY RESPECTED. CONSIDERED A GREAT OF THE GAME. AND THOUGH IT'LL TAKE MORE THAN A GAME TO SELL THE GAME. YEAH IT'S RUGBY. YEAH IT'S CHICAGO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF NO ONE HERE KNOWS THE SPORT. IT'S CHICAGO. AND IN CHICAGO, NOTHING'S EVER FLAT. Does Jack not have the most unfortunate run? So are rugby person over there is Jack, and he's propping/ We will get a picture of Jack running before the end of the program. I was speaking on the radio with the pilot who flew the all blacks to Chicago. He was given a fantastic impression and people are really talking about it and the haka. Here's Jack running. To be fair, if he just bobbed up a wee bit he could be a lock because he's got height. Jack mentioned Christian Cullen. Some of the initials DC sent us this. Dear Toni, perhaps Mike could wear his onesies for the game? From DC in Chicago. I wasn't criticizing the onesies per se. I was criticizing people wearing it flying to Chicago. I am quite disappointed that Richard McCaw is implying. He has been everywhere, though. When you watch the game would you want to see? Dan, Richie and Sonny Bill/ NEXT ON SEVEN SHARP ` SCREAMING WE CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN 'SEVEN SHARP' STYLE. PLUS, YOUR THOUGHTS ON SPITTING. I PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT TO GO SWIMMING IN IT. WELL, THOSE ARE PRETTY CLICHE RESPONSES. BUT WHAT'S COMING UP MIGHT MAKE YOU RETHINK IT. My kids are all over the neighborhood trick-or-treating. Did you get any chocolate for your house to give? I got my house a security gate. So you're sending your kids out for chocolate and you're not giving any out? Selfish. OK, SO MOST OF US WOULD THINK THAT SPITTING IS A BIT LOW RENT, IF NOT DISGUSTING. WHEN YOU'RE A CLEAN FREAK WITH JUST A TOUCH OF OCD, YOU FIND IT UNHYGIENIC AND GROSS. I AGREE IT'S PRETTY FERAL, BUT THERE'S PROBABLY QUITE A BIT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TOPIC. HERE'S A FUN FRIDAY FACT. UPBEAT GROOVY MUSIC DISGUSTING. WHEN I'M WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES IT, I ALWAYS TELL THEM OFF. OH, IT'S SO BAD. I HATE IT. WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD BARE FEET AND STEPPED IN IT? IT'S BEST TO SWALLOW IT. THEY'RE NOT TOO HYGIENIC. DO IT IN A BUSH OR SOMETHING, EH. I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN PUBLIC. NOT A GREAT LOOK, YOU KNOW? OH. UM... OH MAN, THAT'S A HARD ONE. A LOT. MASSIVE AMOUNTS. TOO MUCH, TO BE HONEST. UM... I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. HARSH. A FAIR DECENT AMOUNT, EH? I DON'T KNOW, MAN. I PROBABLY WON'T BELIEVE YA. REALLY? DOESN'T SURPRISE ME, BUT IT'S PRETTY GROSS. THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. I'LL BELIEVE IT. WELL, HOW BIG ARE SWIMMING POOLS? THAT'S REALLY GROSS. (LAUGHS) I PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT TO GO SWIMMING IN IT. I BELIEVE IT. (CHORTLES) We get the most random people to do those segments. TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT WHEN GHOSTS AND GOBLINS RUN FREE AND KIDS COME POUNDING ON YOUR DOOR IN SEARCH OF LOLLIES. SOME OF US LOVE IT. SOME OF US LOATHE IT. BUT NOT MANY OF US REALLY UNDERSTAND THE STORY BEHIND THE TRICKS AND TREATS OF HALLOWEEN. AH, HALLOWEEN ` THE CELEBRATION OF GHOULS, GLAD RAGS AND GREED. THE QUINTESSENTIAL AMERICAN HOLIDAY. EXCEPT, WELL, IT'S NOT. THE IRISH GOT IN FIRST THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO DURING THE HARVEST FESTIVAL SAMHAIN THE DOOR TO THE SPIRIT WORLD WAS OPENED SO GHOSTS COULD ROAM FREELY AMONG US. WHICH IS PROBABLY PRETTY TERRIFYING IF YOU'RE AN ANCIENT IRISH PEASANT, SO THEY'D DISGUISE THEMSELVES. 'NO PEOPLE HERE, JUST US GHOSTS.' THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF PUMPKINS BUT PLENTY OF TURNIPS FOR JACK-O'-LANTERNS. IF A GHOST KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR ASKING FOR SOMETHING, YOU'D RISK A GOOD HAUNTING FOR REFUSING AND THUS TRICK-OR-TREATING WAS BORN. SUGAR RATIONING DURING THE WORLD WARS TOOK THE FUN OUT OF HALLOWEEN, BUT CHARLIE BROWN BROUGHT IT BACK IN THE '50S. STATISTICALLY SPEAKING, THE ELASTIC ON THEIR COSTUMES IS A BIGGER DANGER TO KIDS THAN POISONED LOLLIES. BUT HALLOWEEN DOES MAKE KIDS EVIL. ONE STUDY FOUND KIDS IN COSTUME WERE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO STEAL. It was her Halloween voice. You had to get into character. MANY OF YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE BEEN OUT 'TRICK OR TREATING' TONIGHT IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS. HERE ON SEVEN SHARP, WE'VE EATEN ALL THE TREATS, BUT DO HAVE A FEW TRICKS TO SHARE. TIM WILSON WENT OUT TO 'PUNK' SOME UNEXPECTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING ME. HALLOWEEN SHARP PRANKIN'. TAKE AN ORDINARY SCHMO, GIVE HIM A COSTUME AND A MISSION PRANKIN' TELLY PEOPLE. TAKE UPSTANDING NEWS JOURNALIST, PAUL HOBBS. TELL HIM. WHOA! TAKE ANOTHER UPSTANDING NEWS JOURNALIST, WILL HINE. TELL HIM. WHOA! YOU NEED AN INCENTIVE ` FREE IPHONES INSIDE. PRANKIN' THE PRANKER. AWESOME. Argh! PRANKIN' HOSKO? PRICELESS. (HUMS, WHISTLES) ARGH! ARGH! BOTH LAUGH BOISTEROUSLY AWESOME. I don't know what part of that I find funnier ` you looking in the mirror and singing or the girly reaction. There's one of two ways of reacting. Either like you or a bit more growly like Tim. Was my reaction as good as Jack's running? Let's Oagain. On behalf of all those you pranked... how weird is Dean's laugh? Happy halloween. SO, HALLOWEEN TODAY. AND GUY FAWKES IS ON WEDNESDAY. BUT DID YOU SEE SOME OF THE HEADLINES AROUND TODAY? DAMPER ON GUY FAWKES', 'GUY FAWKES RUINED'. THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NEW RULES FOR AUCKLANDERS NEXT WEEK ` YOU EITHER DO YOUR FIREWORKS AT HOME, OR WATCH A PUBLIC DISPLAY. YOU CAN'T HEAD TO THE BEACH OR A PARK AND JUST LET THEM OFF YOURSELF. SOME SAY IT'S GOING TO RUIN THE 'TRADITIONAL KIWI EXPERIENCE.' BUT SERIOUSLY? YOU EITHER CRANK OUT THE SPARKLERS AT HOME, OR GO TO A PUBLIC DISPLAY FULL OF THE BEST FIREWORKS YOU COULD NEVER AFFORD YOURSELF. SOME SCHOOLS ARE EVEN DOING IT AS A FUNDRAISER. LOTS OF PEOPLE CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH FIREWORKS. DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND PETS GET BADLY INJURED EVERY YEAR. SO IF THIS LITTLE RULE HELPS THAT, WHAT'S THE BIG PROBLEM? I AM EXCITED FOR SONNY BILL THIS WEEKEND, BECAUSE YET AGAIN HE SHOWS WHAT A REMARKABLE ATHLETE HE IS. HOPPING BETWEEN CODES AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, IT IS AMAZING. BUT I AM MORE EXCITED FOR DAN CARTER. HE'S BACK. I HAVE FELT BAD FOR HIM THESE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. HE'S GOT MORE GRIEF THAN HE'S DESERVED ABOUT HIS INJURY. PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS TIME BEING UP AND HOW MUCH LONGER HE HAS TO GO. HERE'S MY THINKING ` YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR JOB WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE TO DEFEND IT. YOU LOSE YOUR JOB WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FIELD AND NOT PLAYING WELL ENOUGH TO HOLD IT. CARTER IS CLASS. HE HAS ` STILL HAS ` ATTRIBUTES OTHERS CAN ONLY DREAM OF, AND THE KNOCKERS CAN ONLY ENVY. YOU WATCH HIM. CLASS ENDURES. BY THE END OF THIS NORTHERN TOUR, IT WILL BE LIKE HE NEVER LEFT. CAPTIONS BY AMY PARK AND HUGO SNELL
