The beauty of your actions
touch my heart,

to travel so far,

to honor the pact of our
ancestors,

and defend

another's tribe!

Thank you.

And yet your journey has been in
vain.

It will be,

three thousand versus three
hundred,

muskets versus rifles,

and cannons.

Don't fight.

Don't fight.

If you, Te Urewera,
insist on fighting,

there can only be one outcome.

Death!

Rewi,

our party from Te Urewera have
travelled many miles,

to support you and your people.

We have consulted our war god,

and she predicts a blood soaked
victory.

We have also captured the first
fish for sacrifice.

So here is my word,

in this place let us use our
guns and ammunition,

they're a heavy burden,

and I would rather carry,

the glory of battle home with
me.

That’s right, Te Whenuanui.

- Indeed.
- Yes, that’s right.

It is decided then.

We will make a stand here at
O-Rākau.

Go and rouse your people,

we have much to do if we are to
have any chance.

Arise, Tūhoe.

My friends unto death.

Our fates are now bound, no
matter what.

Awaken,

tongues of fire,

like a flaming demon,

strip you bare.

Nothing will be the same.

All that has been may perish,

at the setting crescent moon,

a crimson sunrise,

the raiding party will be
victorious.

And should this enemy soldier be
sacrificed now

or later?

No wait.

A death will be offered once the
whites' army is sighted.

That is all.

Salutations to you our war god.

Let it be done.

I need to go and tell our chief.

You have returned.

I told Meka,

you knew the boy would come to
us,

and you led us to his capture.

Why would you say that?

Because,

Meka may tell the others,

you should be the war-god’s
voice for all the tribes here.

Don't look at him.

Don't talk to him.

Hey girl!

Please.

Untie me.

Can you hear me with those?

I can read your lips,

but, I'm not allowed to talk to
young people,

or commoners.

Doesn't that get lonely?

Why does your mother make you
wear those?

They show I'm sacred,

a sign I’m the spirit channel
for the gods.

You are not a god.

Just a half-caste traitor.

And what are you?

I'm the medium for our war god,

Te Paenga-o-te Riri.

I'm not a traitor.

I'm just traveling with my
mother.

We're going to see my
grandmother.

She's sick,

we're trying to
get to her, before she dies.

Maybe your god could help heal
her?

My god deals in war, not
healing!

Anyway, you talk too much.

We're not so different.

We're both bound by loneliness.

Hey,

greetings Meka.

Did he talk to you?

I have the first kill!

The sacrificial rites are mine!

What's your name boy?

Jack.

So Jack, how far off is your
army?

I'm not a soldier,

I'm just trying to get to my
grandmother before she dies.

Something I found when
the soldiers came to our home.

Something you found?

Show me your hands.

I make cartridges for my uncle
for duck shooting.

I'm the best shot in the family.

We smoke the birds and sell them
to the whites.

And so you're not white?

My father is.

Was.

Our war god has said there will
be a sacrifice,

when we first see the enemy.

We no longer pay tribute to the
old gods,

nor do we mutilate the bodies of
our enemies.

Tell us Rewi,

is it true,

they burned your women and

children at the massacre
of Rangiaowhia?

Now is not the time for revenge.

My concern right now, must be
the preservation of my people.

I respect your authority but...

He is my sacrifice to make.

Please sir, let me live.

Do as you please!

I have our preparations to worry
about.

The British are perhaps,

no more than two days away.

Mohi!

What do you think you’re doing?

You are not a lowly servant.

In time you’ll be a noble chief
yourself.

Don't let your grandfather catch
you feeding her.

Go away.

I've warned you about trying to
make friends.

I wasn't.

You were late and I was hungry.

Think you're the only one the
chief's listen to?

Now shut your mouth and get to
sleep.

Mama?

Is that you Haki?

Hold onto me.

Look after your little sister no
matter what.

Where is she?

Why won't they bring her to me.

What's happening?

The god in Kōpū said you weren't
the sacrifice,

and that anyone who hurt you was
in danger.

So I can just go?

Thank you.

You're a kind boy.

Even if your grandfather doesn't
notice.

My grandfather just wants me to
be a warrior.

He says our way of life is in
danger.

What the hell have you done?

I spoke the truth.

We're going back out there to
talk to Meka.

To tell him, what?

That the boy is the first
sacrifice

and he should be killed today.

I'm not you, I don't lie and
cheat to get what I want.

We're not from a chiefly family.

You have no father.

I've worked so hard to make this
happen,

how many other female
god-mediums have you seen? Aye?

None.

-Now get back out there!
-No. I never wanted to be this.

I hate it.

Don't you dare destroy all
that I've worked for.

Yaa.

Are you all right?

I'm still leaving.

I wanted to say thank you,

for saving me.

Okay, well.

I hope your mother is still
waiting for you.

And I hope your grandmother's
all right.

So, do you want to, come with
me?

It would be good to have someone
else to talk with,

to listen to.

When the mussel shell opens to
feed,

it risks everything.

They're just shells.

Who are you?

What do you want?

I don't know.

What do you want?

To be normal,

and have friends.

What?

You're a war god in a war.

Adults made me that for an
adult's war.

Yes, so.

Friends?

Friends.

Who's the dying woman?

Come on, we need to go.

Wait.

What is it? We need to go!

The god.
She's in the box.

Come, we need to go.

We need to get into the fort.

I knew it.

Come here you.

Piece of shit!

You're done now.

You stupid girl!

Meka, I didn't know a thing.

Meka!

Let's go!

Enter the fortress.

Hold.

Hold.

Don't waste your bullets yet.

Listen now. Get ready.

Don't do it Meka.

You heard what the god said.

Chief!

You can't let Meka do this,

you heard the words of the god.

'Whoever harms the boy will be
in danger'.

Mine is the glory of the first
fish!

I have the first kill!

Hear me. Come to me.

Te Paenga-o-te-Riri.

Awaken.

Hear me.

Rise up.

At the setting of the crescent
moon,

the sun revealed his crimson
face,

the raiding party will be
victorious.

If you defend a fort, who is the
raiding party?

You or the attackers?

Her words are all lies anyway.

Te Paenga-o-te-Riri.

Wake.

On that great day, as we strike
at the heart of the enemy!

Wake.

Protect me from evil!

Positions get ready.

Ready, hold!

Outer line.

Fire!

Inner line.

Fire!

Go back, you'll get shot!

Go back.

Haki!

Wake up!

Kōpū.

Hurry, wake up.

While Te Whenuanui is
distracted.

We must leave!

No.

I'm not leaving. He's my friend
and he needs me.

Huh, we'll have plenty more
friends.

Stay here, I'm going to check
the escape route.

I don't want you anymore.

Ready!

Fire!

Leave me.

I'm going to be free.

Settle down. Settle.

Do not rejoice too much friends,

we have only parried the first
dart.

Quick, we are leaving now.

She's gone.

It's all gone.

Bloody hell girl.

Nothing changes, you hear me?

We tell them all you're still
a medium for the gods.

We have to go right now!

Don't ever forget.

You're mine!

Chief be careful, the god is
angry.

If you hurt the boy,

I'll destroy you.

Just like I did Meka.

Take her to the pit.

It’s still and quiet.

Too quiet.

Stay low, I can still see some
movement amongst the trees.

Where's the girl?

Grandad took her.

He had his gun pointed at her
like this.

Is she alive?

Why would you even worry
about Creepy Kōpū?

Stay alert my friends.

Be ready.

What the hell are you doing back
here?

Please can we keep him
Grandad?

Can he be my slave?

Sorry grandson,

this half-caste is too slippery.

Tie him up again.

Not too tight.

Is the girl okay?

You bastard.

Come on boys.

We've got work to do.

Let us pray.

In the name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Amen.

Hail Mary,

full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,

mother of God,

pray for us
sinners,

now,

and at the hour of our death,

Pray for us sinners,

now,

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Amen.

Why do you pray to a white god?

He's not white, he's universal.

Huh? Universal?

I see no omens,

no apparitions,

no witchcraft.

Witchcraft?

You mean like your god medium?

That guy is dead for sure.

East Coast?

Hold up.

I'll send more soon.

Can I help make bullets?

Is that alright?

Why would I care.

Do you want a drink?

One gulp only!

Hey not too fast.

You might embarrass your chief.

First of all, I'm not his chief.

Second of all,

how fast could he go if I break
a few of his fingers.

Sir, I could show you how to do
it better?

Don't worry about me.

Worry about your bloody self.

Like how about you explain
what you did to my god-medium?

Nothing sir.

I don't even know her name.

Kōpū.

Her name's Kōpū.

What do you kids call her?

The other kids call her

Creepy.

Creepy Kōpū!

I was just traveling with my
mother to see my grandmother.

Argh, enough telling us about
your sick grandmother.

Shut your mouth slave!

One of my best warriors was
killed because of you,

and killed using witchcraft!

What the!

See,

more witchcraft!

I knew I should have just killed
her.

Not you.

You stay here, and make more
bullets.

If I see you outside of this
bunker,

I'll shoot you myself.

It’s okay.

Come here granddaughter.

Come inside, Tūrama.

We've been left with the
half-caste,

who had sex with our medium.

No, I didn’t.

Yes!

I saw him the other day
at the gathering.

Probably no hair on his
balls yet, but,

I suppose you can sort of see
the attraction.

He looks like my son Jensen when
he had pleurisy,

like a skinny white ghost.

What are they saying?

My love,

we have more wounded.

Ewa and Doctor Hooper need your
help.

Oh well.

So you're the one?

Uh, hello.

Come my number two
husband.

We have wounded to care for.

If you play your cards right,

you could be husband number
three one day.

Did her first husband die?

No.

He's an old Dutch man in
Whakatāne.

But that's the thing when you're
a chieftainess,

you can have more than one
husband.

You're a chieftainess too,

aren't you?

Yes mama. You could have two
husbands.

One for the front and one for
the back.

Jeez, no way!

Sounds bloody exhausting!

Come on finish up.

You're all going to bed soon.

Look what they did to my
beautiful Rōpata. My Love.

Can you not hear?

Come. Sit.

Listen.

♪ A different world beckons. ♪

♪ Come friend, take my hand ♪

♪ and lead me to
the new day. ♪

♪ So why do I feel so alone? ♪

Where is she, sir?

You see the dry well?

♪ Is that the first glow of
dawn I see? ♪

Boy, what are you doing?

Wait.

She saved my life so I need to
save hers.

You need to save her?

Really?

You need to because you want to?

Or you need to?

I don't understand?

Are you running to something?

Or away from something?

Sir, can I ask you something?

Yes.

What if people think you're
something,

but you're not?

Not what?

Not anything...

You're just empty and nothing.

Then, I suppose,

we need to fill ourselves,

with the best of what others
think of us,

until we're strong enough,

to go back and find who we
really are.

Maybe being a good runner is
enough for now.

Take this with you.

Careful with it.

The water will all be gone soon.

Are you ready?

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

What is it?

My relations from Tūwharetoa
attempting to break through.

Hoping to reinforce us.

Now go.

Run!

You save her?

Is that you, friend?

Yes. Are you okay?

Yes.

I brought some water.

Tie the cord around your wrist
and I'll help pull you up.

I knew you'd come for me.

Someone's been watching me.

I've been singing to keep her
away,

but I think she's still here.

Nobody's here. Just me.

Climb up.

What is it?

Is it the lizard?

Is it my mother?

It's nothing.

She lies to me all the time.

Hurry, climb up.

There's no lizard.

When I hugged you,

I could see a woman.

She was hurt but she wanted to
tell you something.

Stop!

Are you scared of me too?

What then?

You!

Shit!

What do you want, sister?

I'm done with your world of
death and destruction.

Point your poisonous tongue
somewhere else.

Quick, climb up.

You lied to me.

I'm trying to help you.

You're a liar like my mother.

Climb up! I just wanted to get
you out faster.

I don't need your friendship.

Leave me alone.

Stay here and rot then!

What did I tell you boy?

That you'd shoot me if you
caught me outside of the bunker.

It was my fault.

I told him to try and get some
water for the babies.

It's true, Grandad.

It's empty.

Here, hold Rau.

We're running low on cartridges.

Get those fast hands to work
again.

Father, how are we doing?

The reinforcements?

Turned back.

The English are too many.

It's her.

I can feel her witchcraft
seeping up through the ground.

She will have to be killed after

the sun rises.

Her spirit would be even more

powerful if she were
killed at night.

Be vigilant, stay alert!

Hey kids, let's play a game.

Come on, line up.

The canons have been brought up.

Which one of you has the fastest
hands?

Here you go.

For the cartridges.

Peach pits?

All out.

Red dawn.

Your grandfather won't like it.

I should distribute the
ammunition.

No, you're not to leave
my sight.

Take Mohi with you.

Here, take this my boy.

Fire!

Go back to your
grandfather.

Give him more bullets.

Come and meet
your end!

What are you doing?

That's my cousin!

Out of the way!

No.

There! Your cousin's going to
kill Kōpū.

My cousin.

What has become of us?

That we kill our own with the
weapons of our enemy?

Let me stand in the light one
more time.

I'm not going to hurt him.

Friends listen!

This is the word of the General.

Great is his admiration of your
bravery.

Let the fighting cease.

Come out to us so your lives may
be saved.

Friend,

I shall fight against you,

for ever...

and ever, and ever!

That is all well for you men,

but it is not right that the
women and children should die.

Let them come out.

Get fucked!

Fuck off!

Liar, slaughterer!

When you slaughtered us.

If our men are to die,

the women and children,

will die fighting also!

Charge!

Eat shit!

Bastards!

Everyone,

to the southern end of the fort.

Bring your guns and ammunition.

Move now.

So what the hell was that

"I will fight you for ever and
ever and ever" about then?

A strategy,

to buy us some time to prepare
for a breakout.

Why wasn't I consulted?

My friend, that's what I'm doing
now.

My warriors are ready to fight
to the death.

That's exactly what the British
want,

a clear victory to confirm their
dominion over Māori.

This British type of warfare

isn’t for us warriors,

who seek ancient glories,

but for our people to survive,

that our grandchildren may reap
the seeds of hope for a new day.

At least let my men be the tip
of the spear in the breakout,

so others might survive.

Thank you brother.

Son.

I failed her.

That's unfortunate.

She doesn't want to be friends
with a liar.

Well then,

stop lying,

or lie better.

Greetings dear.

Which way do you want to go?

There's food, water,
clothes and prosperity

that way, if you want them?

Oh well,

pain, poverty and struggle
without end it is.

Load.

Come, we need to leave.

Come too!

No, I need to find my daughter.

Fire!

Father,

have you seen my daughter?

Have you seen Ewa?

I’m sorry.

Is she still alive?

I'm sorry.

She is dead!

Pray with me sister.

Hold fast!

Together!

Go!

Bind close!

Bind close!

Form together, the head of the
spear!

Rise up!

Rise up!

Forward!

Advance!

Bind close!

Stay together for as long as we
can!

We move as one!

Quick! Follow me!

What are you doing?

We need to get to the kids,

and keep them safe.

You?

Shoot them!

You take the children.

Go.

Go!

Mama!

Mama!

Go.

Just go.

I'll catch you up.

The column is split.

O Lord,

save us and visit not this sin
upon us.

Lay down, go.

Enough of these white man’s
prayers.

I face you,

I warn you,

I subdue you,

remain where you are,

while I fly,

like a bird,

rising high towards the heavens.

Give power to these words!

No!

Hold on my boy. Be brave.

Thank you.

Haki.

We’ve got to go.

Kids come here.

Quiet now.

Stay close together.

Will your mother be near?

Are you going to look for her?

Or was that a lie too?

You can't leave us though aye?

I would never do that.

You and the kids stay here.

What're you doing?

Lying better.

What's happening?

Why are you talking to her?

We’re not allowed to talk to
Creepy.

Her name's Kōpū,

not Creepy!

We can talk to her now.

Grandad told me,

she's the reason everything went
wrong.

Is my mama dead?

Are we going to die too?

No, of course not.

Kōpū isn’t alone anymore.

She’ll look after us.

She's our friend,

our family.

I want to stop hiding,

and be honest, but I’ve been
hiding so long.

I saw your mother drinking with
the soldiers.

I've chosen my family.

Holy heck,

couldn't you find a Māori horse?

This one's going to stand out
like dog's balls.

This is my mother.

That was her that I saw in
the vision, yeah?

Her beautiful face all damaged?

What's her name?

Ripeka.

She died two years ago along
with my baby sister.

And your father's a soldier?

Yes.

When they married,

he tried his hand at farming,

but he was a much better soldier
than a farmer.

So when the war started he went
back to the army.

Mama wanted to take baby up
north,

but papa wanted them close by.

He said the stockade would be
safe,

but while we were chasing the
Māori King's warriors.

They doubled back,

and attacked the stockade.

They were shooting through the
walls.

They wouldn't have known my
mother was there,

and our baby.

After that,

papa changed,

everything changed.

Mama would have known what
to do to make him better.

She always knew,

what to say to make you feel all
right,

make you feel loved.

Where was she from?

She was captured by a northern
tribe when she was a girl,

and grew up as a slave in
Northland.

So you don't know where
your real tribe is from?

Mama used to sing this to me
about her home.

Manahou.

We went through a place called
Manahou,

on the way to the war.

It's close.

With hills overlooking a lake?

Yes.

Let's go to Manahou,

to find your grandmother.

And get help for Puku.

Yes!

My father said that if I run
away again,

he would hunt me down,

and kill everyone that separated
me from him.

He would do that?

Once we get Puku help,

I can't be with you anymore.

That's it, Manahou.

It's just like I thought it
would be.

I'm leaving with Puku.

What about us?

You need to carry on.

No, we must stay together.

You have to get the other kids
as far away from me as you can.

I hope your grandmother is
there.

Maybe if you plant them they'll
grow.

Never lose your gentle
Māori spirit my son.

Kōpū,

what's the matter?

Stay here with the kids.

Keep out of sight.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

Not long now Puku,

there'll be people here that can
help.

Good people I reckon. Loving
people.

Make it stop.

Stop the pain!

Puku.

Puku.

No, not you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

It is my fault.

Puku.

Haki!

I saw your mother.

I saw you too.

I heard what she said.

I’m not a good person.

I’m not a good son.

It's not your fault.

We need to go.

I burnt people alive!

I shot a helpless boy!

I'm the same as him.

No you're not!

I feel your mother's gentle
Māori spirit in you.

I love you my friend.

The kids and I need you.

We can start a new life.

No!

Quick, there's no time,

the soldiers are close.

You!

No.

Grandad.

Wait.

My grandson,

my little Puku,

my little Puku boy!

You witch,

it's all your fault!

You said your guns were too
heavy to carry home.

How heavy is the body of your
grandchild?

If it weren't for Kōpū,

you'd be carrying the bodies
of these ones as well.

There's our enemy!

Maybe I've misjudged you.

Only one soldier?

No. There's probably more.

Puku.

Her name is Kōpū.

I won’t abandon her.

She's a true friend.

Really?

Your friend?

Puku.

To once again be the man my
mother loved.

Go! Take the children, use that
horse as well.

Son of a bitch.

My son.

What if,

your grandmother was from Te
Urewera?

Her song,

I think her song's about a
little river.

Its stones,

its sound,

its twists and turns.
