There's more.

Watch me.

Watch. Watch.

Watch me.

Watch.

One. Two.

Three.

Four.

Half.

So, I think we can both see that I'm pretty much a warrior woman.

Which can only mean one thing That I belong to you

We can have a good talk about it when I get there

And maybe you want

to keep me around

Say hi for us. Yeah, say hi.

Yeah.

Oh,

hey, Petrie.

Hey.

I was just looking for you.

Is someone following you?

No.

It's just you were acting like there was this whole, like, situation.

No, just being careful.

Mm -hmm.

Right, you got the yellow thing?

Yeah.

This is guys will fool them all.

Bye. Bye.

You should probably get going.

Can we run through the plan again?

Sure. What happens when they come in for breakfast?

She's in the shower.

Mid -morning check?

She's in the toilet.

She'll be ages if you know what I mean.

What about when Mum gets there?

Hey, Wendy.

She's gone for a walk. I'll tell her you stopped by.

Mum will probably start crying when she books it out.

Tears don't really affect me, so... Me neither.

Anyway... Later, kid.

Wait! Bet checks in 15.

I'm just gonna let these go.

Stay if you want.

Sure.

That's probably why I survived cancer.

Balloons.

See you soon, Taranaki.

A new kid in town.

And he's really cool.

Really cool.

With friends.

You ready for today, Mum?

Well, breakfast ready!

Dad?

Mm -hmm?

I've got this idea.

I was thinking...

Right. We could do something special for Mum's birthday today.

I could take the day off school, and you could take the day off work, and we

could climb the mountain.

Like she wanted.

Um... I don't... I don't think that she'd want us to do anything.

She didn't really want us to dwell on the path.

Um... She was pretty insistent that you and I...

Keep moving forward.

And we moved.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we moved.

Found this in the tree.

Blinked in disrespectfully in this flyer, Auntie Tayo.

And look, someone wrote, let me live.

You know what I'd say to that someone?

Let Papa Tuanuku live.

Stop strangling her with blinking rubbish.

Who? Our OG mother, Earth.

She put up with a lot.

You want it?

I'll give it to you if you promise to get rid of it properly.

It'd take about a thousand years to break down, though.

Blink and where's the time?

Thanks.

Were you watching me before?

Yeah. Just hushing out the community, ne?

Someone's got to make sure we're safe.

I'm Mallory.

Who are you?

Hey, son.

I was calling out to you. Were you?

I've got a big day ahead of me, son.

Lots to organise on a lot of operations, OK?

Lots to blink and nothing.

What was that?

Hey, um... Mallory.

Mallory.

Potts. Potts. Ah, hey, Mallory Potts. You guys moved in just after us, eh?

Surprised you even noticed.

What's that, son?

Uh... Babysitter should be here when you get home from school. And I'll be home

about six sharp.

10 .45.

Yeah. I'm not quite sure.

It's a lot of operations, son.

12 to 14 hours?

Where'd you get that balloon?

Did you want it? No.

So I better head to school now or else I'll be in trouble.

Got any food?

I've got a sandwich.

Are you okay?

Cancer.

Finished chemo a few months back.

My mum had that.

Who are you?

Mallory.

Pot.

Sam.

I'm really going to need your help, Mallory Potts, because my mountain wants

to climb to the top.

Your mountain?

Want to see my map?

Mm -hmm.

This is top secret information.

We are here.

I'm not going to follow the main track because there's probably a search party

looking for me.

So I'm going to go this way instead.

And if it's safe, I'm going to sleep in Polka Hut for the night.

This is me roasting marshmallows.

So it would be good if you could bring marshmallows.

I stopped my mountain from going to the sea, so I'm going to say thanks. Who

stopped who?

Then I'm going to go right to the top.

I don't think that you should be doing this when you're...

And I've got school.

Sorry.

Did it get your mum?

Yeah. Well, it's not going to get me.

Not with my mountains out.

My mum's dead too.

Plane crash.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, my dad as well.

What? Yep.

Can't turn an orphan.

They'd be so proud of me if I got to the top.

Especially mum.

I really need your help, Hot.

My list of supplies.

Chocolate, biscuits, marshmallows, water, sleeping bag, matches, gun.

I don't have access to a gun.

Just use your imagination.

You have been chosen to help us on our mission.

Present cons mom.

She's adventurous.

Pro.

She's gonna take us to the top. Pro.

She yelled at me. Con.

She speaks with mountains. Con.

She wanted a gun.

Definite con.

I don't think this is working, Annie.

He's unhappy.

I'm unhappy.

I mean, the place is really nice.

And, you know, the mountains, it's wonderful.

Him and I were on his adventure with two wet,

soggy things that don't move.

No friends.

No friends.

Can we go home yet?

I wasn't in bed today.

Okay. I'm good.

You took your time.

Sorry, I got everything you asked for.

Apart from marshmallows and a gun.

Bummer, but thanks. I'll take it from here. I can carry it. I don't need you

come. But you said that... The part in this undercover operation was important.

We'll never forget it. I don't think you should go alone.

You need my help.

Bye.

Putt! You can come.

You can be my Sherpa.

What's that mean? That you carry all my things, make it to the top first, and

get no credit.

I don't do friends.

That's okay.

I don't need friends.

That's Pokai. That's where we're going.

Tanaki's hiding.

Might come out when I get there.

We've got lots to catch up on.

Feel that?

What?

Power of my mountain.

One, two, three.

Couldn't do five yesterday.

The closer I get, the stronger I get.

If you want to continue this, then you better start believing.

Because my mountain is always trying to tell us something.

So stay sharp.

Otherwise I'm done for.

I can try.

Except for you.

I'm your father.

Kia ora, Mallory Potts. Hey.

Look how many of these blinking things I found.

Spent most of this morning cleaning her up. Why?

Because of my guardian of Papatūānuku.

See all this farmland?

Probably used to be covered in beautiful bush.

Beautiful bush.

And there was probably heaps of Māori living here too.

Because there's an awa over there.

Probably can't drink from there no more though.

Can you see any birds over there?

Nah. That's how you know. Tukituki ae te poaka.

Were you following us? Yep.

Who are you?

Tēnā kōrua.

Tēnā

kōrua.

Tēnā kōrua.

Your fellas turn.

Oh, I should probably sing a song first.

That'd be nice.

You have to keep moving.

You coming or what?

Where you off to? Going up Puakai. Who?

Oh, Puakai, eh?

Been meaning to check in with them.

Part of what you were saying was your name.

Wonky.

And I think I'm about a million miles away from home.

Me too.

I've been expecting this.

Obstacles.

What obstacles?

Yeah, what?

My mountain's done this.

If we can get through these obstacles then... If

we can get through them

then... Oh,

sorry. What tribe are you? I know what iwi means. I am a Māori, you know. Oi.

There's eight tribes around this tipu now. Cool, eh? Yeah, there are eight

tribes, and I'm actually from all of them. Woo!

All of them, eh?

Too much kōtiro? Too much, all right? As I was saying, if we can get through

these obstacles, then Taranaki will know.

Know what?

That we are worthy.

It doesn't matter to nobody else.

A man is right.

This is one of the big ones.

We should find a gate then. No, it's here for a reason.

To keep the cows in and the kids out?

I read on Google once that electricity can heal.

So this makes a lot of sense.

And if my mountain put it here, then we basically have to do it to help heal us.

Heal what?

Well, because of your mum, it's your heart.

And what's wrong with you?

I've been told I talk too much, but I don't think I do. I say what I need to

and when I need to say it.

Say your mouth.

And I'd say roughly the nipple area.

My cancer's sort of everywhere.

And your nerve endings are in your feet, so my feet.

We're offering this pain as a sacrifice to be healed.

On the count of five, four, three, two, one.

Thank you.

Gotcha! Blink and disrespectful.

I've named my stick.

What is it?

Wood face.

Cool. Cool?

Come on, Black Beauty.

Do you think they'll be looking for you yet?

Your family?

Or the police?

She doesn't have a family.

They passed away.

Like my mum.

That must have been hard.

What's your story?

My story is once upon a time, there was this young fella who worked for Papa

Tuānuku as a guardian.

The end.

What about your family?

Remember that fella you met this morning?

Your dad?

Yeah, him.

He got a dumb promotion.

And then my mum made me move down early.

to keep them company or some blinkin' rubbish.

You two are really bumming me and Woodface out.

We're on the greatest mission of our lives, and you're killing the vibe.

There's a massive search party out looking for me, so you're basically the

wanted person in this country right now.

Wow. Whoa! So look alive.

And lift your mode.

Okay, and then it goes like this. Like a true...

Nature's child, like the true nature's child.

We were born, born to be wild.

We were born, born to be wild.

I'm going to head off for dinner.

I'd offer you one of these, but it's for my boy.

I'm in a bit of trouble with him.

Oh, no, I wouldn't dream of it.

Hey, our boys were hanging out this morning.

Really?

I mean, that's...

I'm so sorry I'm late. I had a client who got lost and then I had to find them

and then flee from them.

It really was just one of those days, actually.

And how are you, Peachy?

Looking really well, yeah. He's going back nicely.

She's gone for a shower in the walk.

She'll be ages.

Toilet. Nice of you to drop by, Wendy.

I mean, Miss Walsh.

I know where she is.

And if you want to know where she is, then you need to promise not to tell

anyone that she's gone.

Everything okay?

Um, yes, thank you. Everything is fine.

Okay.

Hey, Peachy.

Hey, Amy.

Do you promise?

Nice to see you, Peachy. Nice to see you, too.

Where is she?

I need to know where Sam is, Petey.

She's just had a respiratory tract infection.

She said her breathing was normal. For now.

Yes, but we were supposed to pick up some antibiotics today, to be sure.

But it's not as important as that other thing she found out while she was here.

That the cancer's back.

Petey, this is not the time.

The first time I got cancer, I was Sam's age.

There was a lot of crying and wailing. A whole lot of freaked out people

freaking out all the time. A bit like you.

So it became like this.

Her balance.

Peachy, I need to know where Sam is. She's gone to see if her mountain can

save her life.

She is not climbing that mountain. That mountain?

The thing is...

You haven't told her anything about her father other than he was Maori. She has

no idea where she's from or where she belongs.

She belongs with me. She knows enough to know that when you're Maori, a mountain

is part of your family.

Mountains know who you are. Mountains are living ancestors who hold the kind

knowledge we can't wrap our heads around. And she thinks that she belongs

that mountain.

Is there another way across? No.

Me new wood face.

Fine. I'll go first to show you.

You want to go next?

Maybe you should leave the bike behind. I'm not leaving her behind.

Kia tau ngā mana ki tanga te mea ngaro.

Hi runga ki tēnā, ki tēnā o tātou.

Kia māhi a ka whakamaua, kia tēnā, tēnā. Hau i e, hui e,

tāiki e.

Ka pai e te tau, ka pai.

That was Buzzy Ears!

Remember that time, Mum?

You took me across that swing bridge.

You started jumping up and down.

And I cried.

So you stopped and gave me a hug.

You took my hand and walked across the rest of the bridge.

I wish I had asked you to jump up and down again.

Because... I actually really liked it.

Who are you talking to?

Myself.

You know, that wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

What's your favorite food?

Pizza.

What's your least favorite?

Bananas. What bananas do to you?

They're just smooth and they're weird.

Do you want to help out?

Yes, please.

I'll do the help. You do the work.

Cook.

We should stop here for 30 minutes.

You mean food?

Obvs. Yes! Yes!

What was that you just said?

Just thanking everyone

Your gods?

Yeah, but everything.

Those trees, those leaves on the trees, those rocks,

their moth.

We're all family.

That'd be funny.

So?

How much further is it to Taranaki?

I put it

together. Okay.

Separate together.

Taranaki. Taranaki.

Give me that.

Don't destroy this mission.

What about your boy?

My boy doesn't believe in phones.

Or I should call it an eight? Well, okay, what if just you and I went? You

just us.

You know, maybe we could meet them when they come down the mountain. And I can

make us something.

I'll make us a cup of tea in my thermos, which would be nice.

And, okay,

they've taken two sleeping bags, one times ground sheet and one times

pack.

They're protected, that's good, right?

I think it might have been my fault.

Yeah, well... Doesn't look great for the new cop.

My son goes missing the first month that I'm here.

OK.

Right, I'll just... It won't be long, hey?

Everything. Do you want some SPF 50?

I'm all right, thank you. Are you sure it's good stuff?

Have you got enough water?

Yeah, I've got enough water.

Don't look up.

Don't look up.

Look up.

Okay.

Look up. Look up.

Okay.

All right.

Okay. I'm just going to...

toilet oh

peachy come on

i'll be quick

peachy

thank you

My mountain will come out tonight.

Will it?

Maybe. Maybe we should just stay here tonight.

Yeah. What about the hut?

This is better.

What the heck are you doing?

I can't find my matches.

I've got this.

What's that part?

We can still see it.

It's a present my mum gave me just before she died.

Can I have a look?

I think you're supposed to hang it on your wall.

No.

Don't put it on the wall.

Put it on you.

So your mum can help us if we get lost.

I've got you.

That's the sound of the police!

That's the sound of the police!

That's the sound of the police!

Gun clear!

Gun on the top! You can't stand where I stand! You can't walk where I walk!

Watch out!

We run, New York!

Policemen come!

We bust them out the pub!

I want to get tough to be a failure. First show a little respect. Change your

behaviour. Change your attitude.

Change your plan. That could never really be dusted for stolen land.

Are you really for peace and equality?

Or when my car is hooked up, you know you want to fuck.

Ron.

Mallory.

You're not in any trouble. Just want to make sure you're alright.

You're actually in a lot of trouble, Bronco.

Skipping school.

Put yourself and other people in danger. Hey, hey, hey, I think we should just

be a bit cautious, okay?

Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.

Hey, can you hold this, please?

Yeah.

I haven't done this in a while. Mel!

Ah, Hugh.

Oh, sorry.

Thank you.

Oh, wow.

I didn't know that the police could... I suppose, yeah, it's part of your job

description, though, isn't it?

You didn't see anything here tonight?

No, I mean...

Son?

Valerie?

Whoa!

Bronco?

Bronco?

Bronco?

Hey! Let there be light.

Wow.

Is this the only hut that's around? I guess there's nothing else to do but...

Wait, I'm... Okay, I don't know what to do.

I can't think when I'm hungry.

I guess I could just sit down and do the crosses. Oh, that's quite good. Hey, no

one's finished it off.

Hey, um... Your son's come looking for adventure,

but... I think my boy's running away.

Oh, nah.

I'm sure he's just, you know, he's eating a little... Don't be

a dick about it, you know? Be cool. I'm not going to be a dick. I don't know if

I can be cool about it, though. Let her stay the night.

Sam?

No! Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down!

Sam? Who are you looking for?

It's okay, it's only the two of us here. It was very sick.

Very sick. Has escaped from hospital and she was supposed to be here. There'll

be some way to stop worrying as well. I need everyone you have on the ground

here to have a look immediately.

Are you with her?

That's Mallory, that's my son and that other one's Bronco.

Oh,

she looks happy.

Shall I tell you a story?

Yes, please.

Yep.

Okay.

So imagine there were heaps of mountains all living together not far

from here.

Taranaki was in love with a beautiful mountain called Pihanga, but Tongariro

Mountain was also in love with Pihanga, so there was lots of fighting.

and Tongariro got so mad that they took their peak off and erupted into a

volcano.

Taranaki got tired of all the fighting and decided the best thing to do was

leave, even though Taranaki really loved pihanga. And Taranaki left,

heartbroken, heading toward the sea, leaving a big scar on the land behind,

tears filling it up.

Luckily, Taranaki had a guardian rock, Ko Te Toka Araohoto, who told Taranaki

to take a break.

And then Te Toka snuck over to see Pouakai.

Pouakai.

Pouakai.

Did I get it right?

Yep. Okay.

And that's where we are right now.

Pouakai made a beautiful long ridge so that Taranaki wouldn't go any further.

Just in case.

Who told you that story?

Google.

That's why it's cloudy up there all the time.

Because Tudnacki's hiding away.

Crying for their lost love.

My dad does that.

That was a good story.

It's not just a story.

It's true.

That's why I'm here.

Paying my respects to Pāukai for saving my mountain.

Yeah.

See those three stars in a row?

Orion's belt.

Yeah. On our New Year, we say the name of someone who has died to the middle

one. And it releases them up there.

Maybe he's good joy.

You should try them.

My mom's not actually dead.

And I don't think my dad is either. I just never met him.

Why would you lie about that?

I don't know, I just thought it'd make you feel better or something.

Give me back my sleeping bag!

Give it back!

Fine, take it, you crybaby!

You don't deserve to be on my mountain!

You just came up here to go crying to your mum!

She's dead!

She can't hear you!

Where are you going?

Just leave me alone, please.

Almost there, Mum.

She's gone.

That's okay.

I don't want to walk with her anyways.

You can choose to go with her.

Or me.

What?

She lied.

I know.

But she's not telling the truth about quite a few things.

I reckon she needs us.

She's blinkin' sick.

Not as bad as it looks.

I'll be right back.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

Your mum must be really worried about you.

We're going to get you to the top.

And you're going to get better.

We're going to make sure.

You could

probably

survive out here.

Let's go

What about your leg?

I'm fine.

Part of it.

I just have to prove I've got what it takes.

They're probably looking for me.

Probably a whole army by now.

That is beautiful.

Hey, should we do a photo?

Even with clouds, anyone would have loved it.

Far out.

Reckon it's sad city.

Those clouds are pretty freaky.

Okay, then.

Will it?

Yep.

Maybe we should just stop here.

You don't need to climb your tipuna. How would you like if people were climbing

all over your hair?

You should just have your kōrero hair killed.

Run! Get to the clouds!

Then we can hide from the helicopters and dogs!

I can't see a thing. Maybe

we

can

create an obstacle, then we can keep moving and they'll all fall like

What kind of obstacle?

I've got this.

And I've got this.

The time has come.

Come on.

Sam!

Come on, buddy!

Ronco!

Wow, this is so dense.

Like, this is probably the most dense fog I've ever been in.

Sam!

Is it like this all the time up here? Because this is amazing.

It's like we're underwater.

Or under a cloud.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

He got me.

Son.

What are you doing?

I'll be right back.

Bronco, stop.

Bronco, stop.

Bronco.

Hey, hey, hey, buddy.

That's not true, son.

I'm here, aren't I?

Just leave me alone.

You should be used to that by now.

We're doing this and you can't stop us.

Why?

Why? Because I am adventurous and I do have friends and I'm not soggy.

That's not what I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

Sam. I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

Sam.

Sammy, can we just...

Talk about this, please.

Tell her you're going to find him.

I'm going to start trying to find your dad.

And that you're sorry.

Thank you. Thank you, Peter. I've got this.

Sammy, I am so sorry.

He broke my heart and I... I ran away before he...

How did I get here?

What the heck?

I thought I'd seen the last of you.

They're mine.

I let them go at the hospital.

Sorry for being blank and disrespectful.

Looks like it might be a cave.

I guess we should follow the door.

Come on. I've got my phone.

Come on, Valerie!

Why are you leaving like that?

That's nothing.

Sorry. Amazing.

This is amazing.

Yeah.

But I don't think they're going to make me better.

I thought a lucky can make you better.

Yeah.

And, uh... I don't want anyone to be sad.

But I don't want you to forget me.

No. No way.

Can you talk to me like how you talk to your mum?

Yeah.

Can you put me in that star?

Yeah.

Put me up there, please.

Even if my mountain doesn't make me stronger.

I'm still climbing to the top.

So Taranaki will respect me.

Wait, wait.

Whoa, this cloud just got cloudier.

This doesn't really feel right.

I hope we get out of these clouds.

This really doesn't feel right.

Do you think we'll get out of these clouds?

This isn't right.

We're never gonna get out of these clouds.

Damn, it'll stop soon.

Sam, we have to stop.

Simon!

Come on, Sam.

Please.

You shall not pass!

What are you doing?

I'm beating the ridge.

What? From the story.

Bronco's like the Guardian Rock, and I'm like Polar Kite, building a ridge to

stop you. I'm fine, Liam.

You're not fine.

And you're not listening to your mountain.

We've been covered in this cloud for a reason.

I'm sure your team is telling you not to climb the... Sorry, Sam.

There's no massive search party.

Or helicopters and stuff.

It's just our families.

And they want us to go home.

So what do we do now?

Thank you.

Oh, brilliant.

Yeah, yeah, I've got it, I've got it.

Hi.

Hi,

hi, the bus is here.

Let's go, let's go.

Hi. Hey, there he is, my guy. Here he is.

Let's go.

That it's cool.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

It'll be me up there soon.

Can I go right to the top?

But I'll stop and fist and say hi to Tanaki.

And bring my respects.

Have a good talk.

You.

Sam.

Sam.

all around in the hallway

looking for adventure and when it comes

our way don't make it happen take the

world in a loving way fire all your guns at once and

explode into space

Thank you.

Thank you.
