There will definitely be a safe, because there's stuff he likes to keep close by. Bearer bonds. So we find where everything is, and we steal it. Despite many generous offers, they just don't share my vision for the future. What if the guy had some problems? Are you the dog boy? What? Wolf. Come see me Monday. We'll discuss your future employment. (CROAKS) Just eat it, hon. For God's sake. Sparky! It's this Territorials thing. Why does he wanna be in the army, anyway? It's a mug's game, fighting for politicians. My dad was in the army. This month and last month, OK? Board? Shit, is that the time? Is that new? Yeah. Bit flash, isn't it? > Nothing I can't afford now. What exactly does this Lace bloke have you doing, anyway? You know, this and that. Right. And what does this and that actually involve? Well, sometimes it's a bit of this,... ABSURD MUSIC ...and sometimes it's a bit of that. Well you should just consider yourself lucky that I still wanna buy your shitty building, considering the plumbing's shot. Like I say ` a bit of this, a bit of that. And a bit of the other? I don't know what you're talking about, Sparky. You don't seem to be up to much these days. Well, sometimes patience is a virtue. You'll learn that one day. > Patience, right (!) Good to know (!) He's just pushing your buttons. It's part of growing up. Oi. Drop the attitude around your father, all right? And don't start enjoying your flash bloody lifestyle too much. You're there to do a job, remember? Yeah, yeah. Don't you 'yeah yeah yeah' me. You have a job to do, Wolf. What is that job? Find the bloody safe. Find the bloody safe.

One this Saturday, so only two more after that. There's a few other games, Phineas. It's not like the Boks are buggering off tomorrow. Well, they might if the first Test gets called off. Why would they do that? Well, if the protesters get on the pitch again, they might. That's not gonna happen. That's what they said about Hamilton. Are you sure it wasn't you? It wasn't me, Phineas. The Tour's not gonna get called off, OK? The little pig's got too much riding on it to call it off now, > no matter what happens. He's digging his own grave and he doesn't know it.

I'm a Maori, not a boonga. Just stop using the word, OK? About anyone. It's just wrong. What about coconut? Is that OK? No. Calling anyone anything because of their race is wrong.

Am I travelling the country with them, in their ear, holding their pricks every time they take a piss? Well, maybe you bloody should be. Look, the money will get here when it gets here, Ted.

We'll just have a few beers, come up with a plan. Whose round is it? I better be getting home. Carol's back, and she reckons she's over-lating, so I need to get stuck in. Fair enough, mate. We'll have one for you. I might head off too. Ngaire's got a roast on. And, uh, she's been doing this Jazzercise thing ` she's in great nick.

So answering the door isn't actually one of your jobs around here? Ooh, was that a little bit of attitude right there? Well, you just seem kinda pissed off every time you open the door, that's all. Yeah, I am, because no, answering the door isn't one of my jobs 'round here', also known as the house where I live. So it's not just me, then? That's a relief. I'm sorry, were you just flirting with me? No. Yeah, I think you were, a little bit. No. You do understand what my job 'round here' is, right? Fiancee. What does that job entail? OK, listen to me. I have seen guys like you come and go, doing what you're doing. And I'll tell you what I told the last one that tried to hit on me ` try it again and you will get fired. Is Evan here? Yeah, he's in the study. Oh. Thank you. Oh, and thanks for opening the door. The stuff you wanted? Our problematic friends, they're being very stubborn. The fish ones? Mm-hm. They let pride get in the way of a very good deal. Oh, you've been very reasonable so far. I know. Can you take it from here? Sure. Um, I'm not around for the next day or so. Can you look after Joanne? What? Be her driver. Joanne's got a lot of talents, but driving isn't one of them. > I have a Ferrari that can testify to this. Do I get to drive the Ferrari, then? Nice try. I like to keep my babies under lock and key these days. Hey, just keep an eye on her, would ya? Call me paranoid, but I like to know what the people close to me do when I'm not around.

Do I need a reason to come and see my beautiful wife? Yes. Shouldn't you be running your book? Well, I can't spend all bloody day in the pub. Jeez. Most men I know would kill to have that job. Not me. Good to hear. But you can't spend it here either. I'm busy. I know, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers. Hey, we're not beggars. It's a saying, Ted. (SMOOCHES) Go home. Feed those bloody kids. Man, that sucks. Did they say why? Oh, something about not being psychologically stable. But an army should be full of crazy mothers who wanna blow shit up. The Territorials clearly lack imagination. Perhaps you should become a soldier of fortune. Sparky's sad cos the Territorials turned him down. Good job. You don't wanna be a weekend warrior. Not when I've got you a gig. Really? The fish factory. Seriously? You ready for that? I was born ready. No, I mean do you have everything you need? The job goes tomorrow. I have everything I need right in this house. OK, that's kind of scary when you think about it. It needs to look honest. There is honest arson? An electrical fault. No comeback.

No. A headache is what I've got, from all the talking they do. 'They' being your colleagues in the struggle. Some of them. They say Mandela wept with joy when he heard about Hamilton. He wept because he knows the message we sent to the white minority regime that day, < as we stood on that battlefield, with the world... All they do is talk, march and chant. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, 'One, two, three, four, we don't want your racist tour,' and I'm sweating, man, even now. I just can't do this any more. That little garage just down off Palmer Dr ` has that got anything to do with you? Cos I've been meaning to check that out for quite some time. Come on, man. I'm doing my best here.

If only it was that simple. < The itinerary for this tour has been cooked up between the National Party and the NZRFU < to target the marginal rural electorates. Muldoon will buy another three years out of this ` mark my words. Come on, Bert. There must be something you still like about fighting the good fight. Smoke? Yeah. Choice! It's only cabbage, but it's OK. Isn't Dave amazing? His passion is... off the scale. Focus on the good things.

Dave's got this dumb plan to cut off the TV transmission to the outside world. How? Breaking into the satellite station at Warkworth, taking to everything with an axe. OK, that seems to me like something the cops might have covered. Apparently, Dave knows a way through a neighbouring farm. So while one group distracts the cops at the gate, Dave and some others go in through the back way. But what if we get on the pitch in Christchurch and no one in the world sees it? Exactly ` my point exactly. I mean, if Mandela wept about Hamilton, he'll weep buckets if they stop an actual Test. That's what I tried to tell them, but they wanna make a big statement. Yeah, it'd be way better to cut the transmission here so the rugby-heads don't get to watch their precious game. That would really piss them off. That would be so cool. What is it, Bert? You wanted something, I've got you something, but you've gotta promise to be nicer to me in future. SANDPAPER SCRAPES WOOD THUDS DRAWER THUDS Bye. Where are you off to? A Territorials thing.

I have great respect for you, Ted, and I like your wife, but this is a crime against my family. And for that, I could bury these boys anywhere in Auckland, and they would never be found.

Am I missing something here? Just because you are having an attack of being Mr Bloody Righteous doesn't mean that Wolf should be out of a job. Oh, so you're OK with our son fire-bombing innocent people? Innocent!? Oh, Ted, spare me. Those bloody Dallies are as bent as coat hangers, and you know that. Yeah, maybe. But they're our kind of bent. Evan Lace is not. Besides, didn't you burn down a post office once? That's different. It was an accident. No, you told me it was an anti-government protest. No. On the way in, Lefty chucked his fag into a rubbish bin. The place was well alight by the time we realised. I will sort Wolf out. You'll just blow up at him, and he'll leave.

What are you amazing at, Wolf? Can I get back to you on that? Right, so being decisive clearly isn't one of them. Hell no. Actually, when I go for something, I go all in. Is that so? Yeah, it is. Well, I shall remember that, if the time comes for decisions to be made. You should, cos you don't wanna get in my way when I go for something. Got it. Good.

Well, what makes you his? The rock on your finger? Yeah, it kinda does. Mind you, without an actual wedding date to go with it, where's the line between fiancee and a mistress with a ring? Why wouldn't he marry you?

Probably not. Good. GENTLE MUSIC Isn't there, um, some protest march we should be on? We've done enough protesting for one day. What if Dave and his crew need a hand? I'm sure Dave can look after himself. Hey! Stop! I said stop! Oi! Oi! Argh! Argh! BOOING I'll be happy when this bloody tour's over. Except if our Jaapie friends leave without us having relieved them of their money. Don't remind me. Fucking Des. Ah well, at least there's always someone worse off than we are. Where is Raki's fish place from here? CONTEMPLATIVE MUSIC (SIGHS) DOOR OPENS Hey. Hello. BOTTLES CLINK I found the safe. I told you it was there. It's not as if we know how to open it, though. Don't you worry about that. Are we gonna have to bring Dad in? No need. Forget about the safe for a while. What you need to worry about is when the job goes down, it has to be crystal clear to Lace that you had nothing to do with it. He's gonna suspect me whatever we do. Probably. But there are others, much closer to home than you, that he's gonna suspect first. How? That's my problem, not yours. You've done your job, Wolf. And you've done it so well. I'm really proud of you, you know? You little pisspot. You did it, didn't you? Burnt down that factory. Yeah, so? Did what happen last night not sink into your thick fucking skull? Yeah, but I don't think it sunk into yours. Wolf, don't be a smart-arse. It was a job. Which you were told not to do. For your Dally mates! They wanted the place torched! Cos it's just business, Dad! That's how things fucking work these days! Everybody's up everybody else, and at the end of the day, I get paid. What, you want a cut, old man? Here. You're a bit skint at the moment, aren't you? Huh? (SCOFFS) You insolent little prick. There are no honourable thieves any more. Your world is gone! Everybody's fair game. We all take whatever we can get. Hail the new fucking world order! (SIGHS) Look, love, he's` he's learning` Don't. OK? Don't you try and defend him. He can keep his fucking money. TH' DUDES' 'THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES' (SIGHS) ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES Oh, so we've gone back to using the key now, have we? Is Evan here? He's at Antoine's, getting pissed with some insane Croatians ` some deal or another. Good. Don't tell me it didn't happen, when we both know that it did. ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES # That look in your eyes, # like someone I know. # That look in your eyes. # Ooh, look, look, baby. # That look in your eyes.. # OK, let's fucking shoot something! Ha ha! It doesn't matter how much there is; his swimmers aren't making it to the finish line. But there's so much sperm. Do you know what I hate about your country? The fact that everyone can vote, no matter what their colour? Don't look at me ` I'm way too short to be a cop. Who says I'm looking at you? How long's it been going on, Ngaire? How long has what been going on? (GASPS) Jesus! Don't move a muscle.
