So, they're getting their money out of South Africa. Rich, redneck Boers. Half a million's our cut. Yeah, your precious cargo is here. We're buying that in New Zealand. RITA: What's Lace got to do with it? Well, he's the one selling them the land. Getting nicked robbing an RSA ` you're a loathsome human being. If we didn't need you for this job, you'd be fucking gone. I'll give you Ted West. Leave him. What? And when Lefty comes after you, I'll be there in spades to defend you. You need to be somewhere else. Like where? Nowhere near this place. TED: She saw her opportunity, and she took it. And we have you to thank for that, Wolf. You betrayed this family. You were fun. DOOR SHUTS UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS MUSIC STOPS, SEAGULLS CAW Oh, how did you manage to cock it up this time? (SHOUTS, GRUNTS) I told you where the money is! With the Jaapies at the hotel. Exactly. So how hard is to break into a bloody hotel? You do know this is the hotel where the Springboks are staying, right? How hard is it to break into the most heavily guarded place in New Zealand, Des? Pretty fucking hard. Hey! Hey! We're running out of time here, Des. When and where is this deal with Lace happening? At my place, which is the last place I want any of you guys at. I may as well have a sign around my neck that says I was the one who set it up. I have no problem with that. Hey, if these guys discover it was me, they'll fucking kill me! Unless... Unless what? The plan was we meet at my house, we do the deal, then we go to the Test. So? So the Jaapies, me and Lace will be at the game. So? So after the deal is done, after the Jaapies have bought their slice of Pavlova Paradise, you'll be stealing from Evan Lace, not them. Who's Evan Lace? Doesn't matter. It does to me. Evan Lace isn't a trained killer. So to answer your question, the money will be in an unlocked safe in my home office while we're at the rugby. Everyone's a winner. Except this Lace guy. And him we don't give a shit about, do we, Ted? (CHUCKLES) He'll bounce back. His sort always do. Haven't you done enough already? You got what you wanted. That's not entirely true, is it? He called the police yet? No. He hasn't done anything except drink. Does he suspect you? No. He's still hung up on her. Then let him. Get out of there. Nah, it's too soon. If I bugger off now, he'll start wondering. Especially now you're gonna kick him while he's down. < Nothing personal. He's still got his flash house, his business and all of that. The cockroaches always survive. So don't you get confused again about where your loyalties lie here. HELLO SAILOR'S 'WATCH YOUR BACK' # Watch your back... # ...when you're walking down the alleys, child. # Watch your back... # ...when you're out on the street # There's danger on the street these days. You can't see it through the fog and haze. # Well, everybody's going crazy, everybody's going crazy, # everybody's going crazy. # Copyright Able 2016 This protest movement has never been about violence. But violence is what the cops brought, so if the people want to bring it back, bring it on. If we let these elements take over on Saturday, then it was all for nothing. When you say 'elements' you mean pissed-off people, right? I mean people that are looking for a fight. Well, maybe there are other reasons they're looking for a fight. There's racism in this country too, you know? And we will continue to fight that. Who said it's your fight to fight, Dave? Have you ever thought maybe you're not qualified to fight our fight? I just don't want the message to be lost, that's all. Look at you, all staunch. Yeah, that's me, babe. Yeah. TENSE MUSIC Just at this point, can I remind you that this was your idea? No, no, you had me in a corner and you took advantage of me. Because you bent over and let me. I am not a squealer ` just getting that straight. Well, not at the moment you're not, cos you haven't given me anything. But when I do, it won't be squealing, right? It'll be something that will be mutually advantageous to us both. Then fucking be mutually advantageous with me. Mike, every bloody cop in New Zealand is in Auckland this weekend. Here is the last place I'd be if I was pulling a job. So you're doing a job somewhere else? Is that what you're saying? All I'm saying, Mike, is if you come looking for me this weekend, you won't find me. Are we on the same page now? I'm not sure we're in the same fucking book. Yes, we're buggering off out of town today, tonight, but I'm not telling you where, OK? Fine. Try not to get nicked while you're wherever you are... or aren't. Sucker. Numbskull. So, all we need to do is break in, get the money, make it look like we had to crack the safe ` that gets Des off the hook ` then we're out of there a lot, lot richer. Piece of piss. CAR APPROACHES Except for the fact that Des lives two blocks from Eden Park and the news says there's gonna be a riot on Saturday. Could work in our favour ` as a distraction. A distraction with half the New Zealand police force patrolling the streets? SOLDIERS CHANT And there's the army, of course. They'll be here too. POP MUSIC PLAYS HANDBRAKE CREAKS, MUSIC STOPS I know how to get pregnant. Right, I'm off. Is that so? It's either the best idea I've ever had or the worst. I can't tell. Sometimes it is a fine line. You know Phineas is shooting blanks, right? Well, I was just on the Honolulu run, and as I was handing out the peanuts, this guy smiled at me and he looked just like Phineas. Well, close enough. And then everywhere I looked there were guys who could easily pass for Phineas, or at least their babies could. This is definitely a bad, bad idea. But it would be so easy. The guys would get to tell their mates about joining the Mile High Club, and sooner or later I'd get a baby. Carol, Phineas would find out. Or he never does and we get to raise a beautiful child together. Do you want a gin? I got it for you duty-free. For once the safe won't be the problem, given it'll be unlocked. It's the getting in and out that's the problem. Thanks to the bloody protesters. The bloody protesters being how we're getting in and out. Yeah. As far as Ted and I can make out, Des' place is just outside the zone they're blocking off round Eden Park. So the best way not to be noticed is to look like everyone who's trying to be noticed. Why can't we look like supporters? Well, because they'll be in the ground while we're doing the job. Also they're all wearing helmets. Too scared to show their faces. Or maybe we just know the cops are gunning to smash our heads in and we're taking appropriate action. Well, hang on, you said 'we', 'our'. That's what you said, right? Yeah, I did. I've been marching; I've been protesting. I'm one of them, and I'm proud of it. You know the chest protectors they've been wearing? Come on, hit me. Harder! BOTH LAUGH My idea. I made the first one. All me. All mine. And if you got a problem with that, then stuff you! And amandla ngawethu! FUNKY MUSIC Right, so if we wanted some of these, uh, chesty things and signs and such, you know, to blend in, you can get them, then? Yeah. Sure. One of the male attendants I work with, he's a dead ringer for Phineas, but he likes boys, which is no good. PHONE RINGS Hello? It's me. You said you were just about to do it, you said you'd call when it was done, and then nothing. What's going on? There were problems. We shouldn't be talking about this on the phone. Well, how the fuck else am I meant to talk about it? What problems? She took the bonds. How the fuck did that happen? It just did, all right? It was bad luck. It just happened. What about my jewels? There was nothing. You promised me. And I tried, and now is not the time to talk about it. I've got nothing but time. You made a promise to me. And it didn't turn out according to plan. I'll put money aside from everything else that we get. How can I believe anything you say? Because you don't have a fucking choice, Belinda. What's done is done. I'm sorry. Call me when you get out.

No, no, it's cool. I get it. I defend you; you go to jail for me. Whatever we do, someone else suffers. TENSE BLUES MUSIC What are you doing here? I came to see you, of course. HISSES: Come on.

It's all hands on deck, so I'm at Eden Park, smacking the good citizens for standing up for what they believe in. A phone call would have done, Mike. Is it wrong I wanna see you? Here, now? Yes. Ngaire, I love you, and I wanna be with you whenever I can. But now and here are not the time and place. Why not? Your kids are at school; Lefty's out of town. He is? Yeah. They left last night.

I don't even know where I got Hone from. I just picked a random Maori name from my brain. I'm not a good person. That's the first thing you need to know about me. Well, the first real thing, as opposed to everything else, which has been a bunch of bullshit. If this is about how you're good at stealing cars, I` Nah, nah, that's kid stuff, or it was when I was a kid. This is like I invented a whole other person, which I did, because someone made me. And then when I was pretending to be this other person, I met someone and, uh, I fell in love with her. But the person in front of her isn't really me. So who is he? He's not a good person.

I have to be my own fucking man, not this thing you want me to be. DOWNCAST MUSIC Thank you. PEOPLE LAUGH, CHATTER # Live for the day when I'm there on my own. # With no one to betray, # it's no wonder I prefer to be a castaway # who finds a friendly shore. # When you have a friend, # then you have yourself a foe. # My right to defend, # yours to scatter in one blow. # My defences. # I'm defenceless. # Here in the dark, # I guess a few fuses have blown. # The bite's back in the bark # and the garden's overgrown. # I'm a right mess. # There's tightness in my heart. SPLIT ENZ'S 'WITHOUT A DOUBT' CONTINUES (SIGHS) We just lost our son. (SOBS) # Like a fly in the ointment, love makes my flesh creep. # Love gets me hot and bothered. # It's just a reward I can't reap. # Lying alone on the lawn, babe, # hot sun overhead, # waiting for a breath of inspiration to carry me away instead. # Without a doubt. #
