Original subtitles

Good call on the road trip, Ted.

We're OK.

We're freezing our tits off in a tunnel.

[inaudible] a funny fuckingidea about what constitutes OK.

Shh!

[police siren]

Jesus!

Phinneus!

I thought this was meantto be a doddle to you.

It's fine.

[inaudible]

Don't you start. We're all good here.

Drive!

Not yet.

Can we go home now?

We'll see.

C'mon, Ted.

The ladies will be missing us.

These ladies include your wife?

[police siren]

Now drive.

Well, sometimes it's goodfor the ladies to miss us.

Makes them appreciate us more.

Did I mention that Ilike it when Ted goes away?

Yes, Pat, you did.

Get back to work.

[THEME - HELLO SAILOR, "WATCH YOUR BACK"]

[SINGING] Watch your back when you're

walking down the alleys, child.

Watch your back when you're out.

There's a stranger 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.

[snoring]

Bilkey.

Hm.

You're doing that thing again.

Oh, geez.

Sorry, mate.

Three mornings in a row.

Yeah, sorry, sorry.

Need a slash, eh.

You'd make someone abloody good wife, Bilkey.

You say that every morning.

And I mean it every morning.

So what's the take, Ted?

Not too shabby indeed.

So are we done, do you reckon?

I wouldn't mind getting back toCarol, if you know what I mean.

One more on the way home.

Martha?

Not Martha.

We're driving through Wyee.

No, not bloody Martha.

You know my reasons why, so drop it.

So I did.

I was thinking that jewelersin Hamilton look pretty tasty.

Nice to pick up a trinket for the ladies.

This isn't you.

Most of the time, no.

No, I mean here.

Mrs. Suburban Housewife.

I'm much more than that.

Are you?

You could be.

[knock on door]

What?

Is Auntie Pat awake yet?

Not quite, love.

You said we could play cricket.

Soon.

But you promised.

Wolf, go outside and play.

Hey.

Who are you?

Wolf.

Wolf, like a dog.

What kind of name is that?

Wolves aren't dogs.

It's short for Wolfgang.

Who are you?

Maria.

We just moved in.

Why are you hitting the tree?

Because I hate it.

This would be a really good lawn if it

wasn't for this stupid tree.

So get rid of the tree.

Can't.

Why not?

Uh, it's too big.

I could pull it out.

Bet you couldn't.

Is this your son?

Who are you?

[inaudible] from down the road.

And what's your problem?

Your son.

He is animal.

My family bring this treefrom Dalmatia when we come

to work on your oil refinery.

When we moved to Oakland,we replanted the tree

in our new home, as a symbol.

And now--

Stick it back in the bloody ground

if you're that worried about it.

[MUSIC - CITIZEN BAND, "RUST IN MY CAR"]

[SINGING] Like rust in my car.

You hold the thing together.

Were you showing off for that girl?

Your father will deal withyou when he gets back.

When, in three years?

Go.

Out of my sight.

Did you get a hiding?

No.

Bet you did.

No.

See you at the shindig.

Hey, son.

I'll tell Mum you're here.

Mum, Dad's home.

Darling.

Hello, love.

You should've called.

I would have made myself presentable.

Oh, you look more thanpresentable to me, my love.

Mind you, I've been sharing a van with four

blokes for the last two weeks.

You silver-tongued fox.

Pat.

Hello, Ted.

Didn't know you were here.

I just popped down to giveRita a hand while you're away.

That's good of you.

How was the trip?

It was productive.

You can hear all about ittonight when the lads are over.

Of course.

For now, you and I have some catching up to do.

I should really getthings ready for the party.

No, that can wait.

Excuse us, Pat.

Won't be long.

As I recall.

Can we play cricket now?

Sure.

Wolfie.

Wolfie!

Come here, love.

Would you be a darling and get your Auntie

Ngaire another drink, andCarol and Janet too, please.

Just-- we're drinking screwdrivers.

Just a little bit of voddy,some orange, and some ice,

all right, sweet heart?

Oh, you're a good boy.

You'll have to lock him up, Rita.

Maybe I will.

He'll be running riot.

You gotta go get that.

- What? - You gotta go get it.

That's the rules.

No, it is when [inaudible]

And we hunted, and we gathered.

And now we bringofferings for our ladies.

Janet, I saw this and the color

really sets off your eyes.

Oh my god, Bilkey.

You're the bloody light of my life, Carol.

Jesus, Phineas.

My sweet.

[GASPS] Lefty, oh my god.

For you, my love.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Never mind, Bert.

One day there will be alady to receive your gifts.

Yeah, sure.

And now, we dance like Cossacks.

No, I'm not bloodycelebrating that little pig

and his four innings.

Why does that bitch deservesomething that beautiful?

I bet she lets Leftystick it wherever he wants.

Oy, oy.

What's this?

[tense music playing]

Shit.

Can I help you there?

Her.

I need word with.

So you brought along all these people?

I have heard from the people around here

what your are kind are.

New Zealanders.

What the fuck are you?

[laughing]

What's the problem?

She knows.

Some Dallie tart was leading my boy on.

Come on.

Do it. Oh, yeah.

We will. - Good.

I haven't had a decent fight in eons.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!No one's gonna fight, OK?

Not at my party.

What is it you actually want?

The tree that was destroyed.

It must be replaced.

You can plant another one.

Nothing to do with us, bitch.

Rita.

Not helping.

Let me get to the bottom of this,

and I'll come talk to you.

You live down the road right?

I've seen you around.

Mm.

Tomorrow, OK?

We can sort it.

Tomorrow.

[snickering]

Why?

Why do this?

She dared me.

Who cares?

You never commit a crimeunless you profit from it.

Never.

And profit in a moneysense, not in a "She might

let me touch her tits" sense.

And also, do not get caught.

That is rule one.

Dad got caught.

I'm talking about you.

This girl is trouble.

Stay away.

And also-- if you're goingto steal a girl jewelry,

get her a necklace everytime-- not a fucking broach.

You don't like what Dad got you?

A broach says "old lady"and necklace says "taste."

It's not your father's fault he has none.

Wolf can finish those.

Come to bed.

Why do you always have to be "Mr. Reasonable?"

Why do you always pick fights?

It's a bloody tree.

Why should we care about them?

Because we have to live in the same street.

So?

You know, it's like thebloody Pakis and [inaudible]

you went to war with.

You weren't the one at home all day,

smelling their bloody cooking.

I want a job.

What's that got to do with the tree?

Because I am sick of being the one

that has to deal with all this shit.

By "all this shit," doyou mean raising our son?

He's old enough to look after himself.

I need something to do, Ted.

Give me something else to do,so I won't get into fights.

[heavy breathing]

Well, we could always have that second kid

we've been talking about.

[music playing]

Ted.

You're back.

Back from where?

You tell me.

Nope.

Not a clue.

I haven't seen you for a while.

Jeez, you must be prettybloody useless at looking

because I've been right here.

Well, here or work.

Work didn't happen to take youto Tokoroa or Tauranga, did it?

I don't like Tokoroa.

It smells funny.

What about Hamilton?

Word comes down the line there's some

elegantly-crafted robberies.

I think to myself, I haven'tseen Ted West lately.

Wish I could help you, Mr. McArthy.

I really do.

You wouldn't be helping me, Ted.

You'd be helping yourself downthe straight and narrow path.

Whatever path it is, it didn'ttake me to any of those towns

you're talking about.

RITA: And I can testify to that.

Sure you can, Rita.

Been real stay-at-home, we have--

watching the election hoo-ha on the telly.

Is that so?

Which side of the fence you on, Ted?

Oh, my blood runs red.

Citizen Verolling, that's me.

I like Muldoon.

Won't deny it.

Tell you, Mike, our political differences--

some nights it's a wonder the neighbors

don't call the police.

Fair enough.

Me, I got a lot of time for Bruce Beetham.

[laughing]

Good to see you back, Ted.

Never went anywhere, Mike.

[car engine starts]

Shooting through, pet?

Yes, Ted, I am.

A pity.

Nice of you to look after Rita, though.

Ah, it's my pleasure.

What did he want?

Probably best you don'twear that broach for a while.

I think I can manage that.

[car starts]

All right, boy.

Let's go see these people.- Forget them.

No, no.

He needs to put right what he's done.

ROD: [sighs]

How much?

Miss Ngaire.

Hm.

Oy, Rod.

How much?

Look, these are tough times, Lefty.

How much?

[slurping]

I now get the importanceof this tree to you fellas,

and I hope that we can work together

to do what must be done.

Like, maybe plant another one.

To celebrate, you know, the--

neighborhood.

That would be honorable thing.

Well, then, welcome to our street.

We should drink on this.

A little.

[kissing ]

I'm Darijo.

You like wine, Ted?

Uh, I'm more of a beer man.

Here we drink wine.

Did you know that they'vebeen here for years,

and they practically built Marsden Point.

And they're really good people.

If you gave 'em a chance, you'd love them.

And it's all sorted.

It's all good, so don't worry your pretty head.

LEFTY: Knock, knock.

TED: Lefty!

Come have some wine.

OK.

Someone's having a good night.

All right, me and Ngaireare off to the Hungry Horse.

But, uh, let me add to the joy.

Your wages from the leftover jewels.

Is this it?

Yeah, I know.

Bloody rotten agent.

But what can we do?

He's our man, so we take what we can get.

Love to stay and chat butthere's a carpetbagger

with my name on it.

Ah, well.

You get what you can take in this life.

Take from Rod was a bit light.

Carol was not impressed.

Luckily, I have a job.

I thought the whole idea of the road trip

was we lay low for a while.

Then I found us a job.

Good job?

Martha.

[music playing]

I thought Martha was thejob that could never be.

It was.

Now it isn't.

If your intel from that miner's correct,

the money's there the sametime every month, right?

It's insane.

All that money in the safe, and the shit

just sitting there 'til they pay us.

Oh, it is.

Correct, that is.

Then the money's just sitting--

waiting.

But they have security.

And the Kraut safe-- it'sthe only safe in the world

that you can't crack.

The Schotzinger 609.

And not "can't crack", just--

I need more time to crackit than the location allows.

So what's changed?

I met someone who can change the location.

Shift the entire mine?

[laughs]

Just the bits of it we want shifted.

And how did you meet this person?

Over a bottle or three of wine.

I know what you are, Ted.

Do you, Darijo?

You are criminal genius.

You mistake me for someone else.

No, no.

I keep my ear to ground.

You and I-- we are in the same business.

Are we?

One day, I hope.

For now, I work for my family.- Doing what?

Heavy machinery.

Moving things.

I'm the best.

Then why be a criminal?

The women.

[laughing]

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sick as a dog.

You had the carpetbag steak and drink

too many Harvey Wallbangers.

My shrimp cocktail was bad.

Then we got home to find we'd been burgled.

Wait, what?

No. - Mm.

I know.

While we were out bastardraided Ngaire's jewelry box.

[laughs]

Not that box, Bilk.

Well, that's not right.

Tell me about it.

Probably bloody Maoris.

Mom?

Yes, love?

Got you a present.

Did you?

Because of the tree.

[music playing]

You said you liked itbetter than what Dad got you.

So I went and got it.

Right.

The thing is, love--

while this is a lovelythought, I can't wear this--

ever-- because they know we know who stole it.

I was just trying to do what you said.

What was that?

Do crimes that weren't stupid.

And I thought you'd like it.

I do, sweetheart.

[kissing ] Mm.

I really, really do.

[music playing]

Hey.

Cheers, love.

Bye.

[phone rings]

Yes, hello?

Ted and the others are on their way to you now.

RITA [ON PHONE]: I needyou to listen and say yes.

I'm putting something in play here

and Ted can't know about it.

Rita, you minx.

But when I give you the nod, Ineed to know you'll back me up.

I'm all ears, darling.

[music playing]

Theodore, my friend.

Darijo.

[grunting]

He's not a puff, is he?

Sit in the middle.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Is this fucking great or what?

[howls]

Sweetie, wake up.

I need you to get up.

I need you to get dressed.

Is it the police?

No, honey.

Not tonight.

Tonight, I need you to do something for me.

[music playing]

[window rattles]

Made it.

Go, go.

Do the thing.

The money's in the shed.

Will be tomorrow night, afterthey bring it from the bank.

Why so much money in a shitty shed?

Because this is where the miners come

to get their pay and drink.

It's a stupid idea.

They think that the money's safe in the safe

for a few hours.

That's all we need to know.

Question is, can you do what I need you to?

Sure, no problem.

Piece of piss.

No technical issues?

Long as you take care of guard--

nothing technical.

Yeah, they'll be sorted.

Good.

I thought we were going shopping.

Rita's right.

He sometimes has really good stuff.

Carol knows herjewels, and Rod does not.

So nice of you to say.

We just want to help youreplace the things you lost.

Hello, my three favorite ladies.

Really, not now, Rod.

- As you wish. - What about this one?

No, I don't think so.

Ngaire, isn't this one yours?

What?

Oh, my god.

It is.

Found something we like, hm?

[music playing]

[bolt cutter cutting]

[quick footsteps]

Darijo-- go.

He better not fuck up.

[music playing on radio]

Pick up some more.

[music playing]

[whirring]

[footsteps]

[bolt cutter cutting]

[footsteps]

Where's your mate?

If he's bottled on us--

He'll be here.

If he was here, we'd hearhim, and I don't hear anything.

[engine rumbling]

Maybe you should get your ears checked.

[laughs]

[music playing on radio]

Turn it off.

[engine rumbling]

[crashing]

[music playing]

Ha!

[laughing]

Let's go.

[grunting]

[rumbling]

[hissing]

[grunting]

[hissing]

[engine revving]

Hello?

Hello?

[engine revving]

[crashing ]

Keep coming. Keep coming.

Whoa. Whoa.

Stop!

Yeah!

[laughs]

Let's go.

[hissing]

[engine revving]

[grunts]

[truck accelerating]

[clicking]

Whenever you're ready, Ted.

Shh.

[laughing]

Shut up, the lot of you.

And behold.

[ratcheting ]

[music playing]

[laughing]

Go on, Darijo.

Eh?

We can walk from here.

What about my money?

I'll explain as we walk.

What about you pay me my fucking share now?

Lefty looks after the money now.

Him?

But he's a cocksucker.

Screw you, wog.

[grunts]

Hey, enough.

Hey.

I want my fucking money.

Bert, take off.

[engine revving]

If you're going to be part ofmy crew, you do things my way.

You go home and you talk to no one.

The less they know, the more you're protected,

the more they're protected.

Do you get that?

Yes, yes, yes.

But what about my money?

I want to buy a car.

In my gang, one of Lefty'sjobs is hiding the money.

But he will steal our money.

His eyes are too close together.

I know exactly how much money he has,

and exactly how much he'll dish out.

Dish out.

What does this mean?

It means-- he pays us, like a wage.

What?

What bullshit is this?

It means no one walks intoa car yard waving around

a fistful of dollarslooking like a dodgy fuck,

is what it means.

[lock opening]

[bluesy music playing]

[exhales]

Ted.

Ted.

You have a traitor in your midst.

What?

No, not here--

in your circle of acquaintances.

[exhales] You mean Darijo?

But I put him straight.

Who the hell is Darijo?

Dallie.

Pitched in last night.

You let one of those Doslic scum in on a job?

And it went well, andit's none of your business.

So, who's the traitor?

Rod Nugent.

He's stolen from us.

So?

Bastard steals from us everytime we do a deal with him.

No, actually stolen.

He comes around to do thedeal on the Hamilton job.

I catch him staring at Ngaire's tits--

which is out of order, but understandable

because they're great tits.

But she's wearing the necklace I gave ya.

The one that then got stolen from our house.

And turned up in his shop.

He wasn't fencing it for someone?

Claimed he had no idea how it got there.

He'd never seen it before.

Which is correct because I saw how he

was looking at Ngaire's tits.

I didn't tell you this before,Ted, but while you were inside,

he tried to take advantage of me.

Sexually, Ted.

Yes, yes, I got that.

I just-- I can't see Rod as a thief.

I mean, getting off his fat ass.

What's way more likely he was actually

looking at Ngaire's tits and hedidn't even notice the necklace

dangling in front of them.

Can we please stop talking about my bosoms?

[laughs] Sorry.

"Bosoms" is a funny word.

Necklace or not, Ted, Rod hasbeen ripping us off for ages.

Maybe it's time for someone new.

Well, like who?

He's the only bloody game in town.

Unless we set up a new game--

someone we can trust.

Someone who knows the price of things,

and how to sell themwithout drawing attention.

You obviously have someonein mind, Bilkey, so who is he?

Spit him out.

Actually, I was thinking of Rita.

Me?

Yes, you.

I suppose I fit the bill.

And it would give me somethingproductive to do with my day.

No.

No wife of mine spends herdays flogging off dodgy goods.

We're better than that.

But, we are going down to that store

to have a bloody word to Rod.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

It's not open yet.

He won't be there. - Fair point.

Later then.

[mower engine rumbling]

Ah, you didn't have to that.

You deserve it.

You had a busy night last night.

And a profitable one.

Keep us right for a while.

I've been thinking about Bilkey's idea.

It has a lot of merit.

And it was Bilkey's idea, was it?

No.

OK, it was my idea.

But Bilkey agrees.

It's a great idea.

It's not going to happen, love.

Then can I remind youthat in your line of work,

an idiot like Rod Nugent getsyou sent away if Mike McArthy

leans on him hard enough?

[footsteps]

[water running]

I don't see what your bloody problem is.

Who would you rather dealwith, Rod Nugent or me?

It's not that simple.

Who can you trust more, him or me?

It's not your world, Rita.

Excuse me?

Every time you do a job, every bloody road trip,

every night that you're nothere, I am up to my neck

in your world.

It's different.

Because that's what beingthe wife of the great Ted West

means?

Yes, actually.

I do what I do so you don't have to.

That makes no sense.

It's not your world, Rita.

Why?

Because I'm a woman?

Something like that.

[knocking]

I was here all night last night.

I know.

Just so I know, whathappened on "Close to Home?"

Wasn't on last night.

OK, well, that's no help.

[tense music playing]

[lock turning]

Ted, you need to come with me.

Now.

I told you that we'd meet up later.

Yes, yes, but--

now I need you to come with me.

Right now.

[car engine idling]

[music playing]

[car engine revving]

I have another job I need you to do.

OK.

You are not good people.

I thought we sorted the tree.

This is not about the tree.

This is about what you did to my brother.

Oh, I did something?

When was this?

He told us everything aboutthe robbery at the gold mine.

Did he?

Don't worry.

We won't be involving the police.

This is between us.

What, exactly, is the problem here?

You must understand--

we are not criminals.

We fight everyday in this country to be

regarded as straight-up kiwis.

Yup, I get that.

So you must never involveDarijo in any of your crimes

ever again.

Deal.

I'm more than happy with that.

And you must give us allthe money from this crime.

Sorry?

As reparations for the shame.

The shame Darijo brought.

So, you can have his share.

No.

All of it.

Ah.

No.

No?

I'm not going to give you all the money.

I don't have it, for starters.

Your friend with one testiclehas, and you're his boss, no?

So he will bring the money when you tell him.

Call the man with one ball.

[phone rings]

- Hello? - Hey, Ngaire.

Is Lefty in?

Hang on.

It's Ted.

Is it important?

Is it important?

Yes.

He says yes.

[sighs] Hold the phone for me.

I thought we were gonna see Rod.

I mean, you never called,so I'm having a sauna.

What is it?

There's a problem withthe money Martha gave us.

What problem?

With a third party laying claim to it.

Eh?

What third party?

[ON PHONE] Just bring themoney where he tells you, OK?

Who was that?

It was Dafna.

Are you-- you with the bloody Dallies?

I told you bringing those madbastards in was a mistake.

We can discuss that later.

Oh, I have to talk to the others.

What? Why?

LEFTY [ON PHONE]: You're theone you always bangs on about we

all need to be involved in big decisions.

And this is a big decision.

Call me back in an hour.

Hang up. - What?

Hang up.

What was that all about?

Ted's being kidnapped by Dallies.

You should definitely beleading this gang, Lefty.

That would never happen if you were in charge.

[music playing]

I thought you said he was the boss.

- Well, I thought he was.- I am the boss.

Then how come no one does as you say?

Oh, well pardon me for notbeing General bloody Tito.

Don't you dare say that name.

Tito, Tito, Tito.

Your friends, or whatever theyare, will bring us the money.

We'll wait.

You're not going anywhere.

At least call my wife and tellher I might be late for dinner.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi, love.

Where are you?

I'm not really at liberty to say.

So, what I saw was what I saw?

TED [ON PHONE]: What did you think you saw?

Looked like a kidnapping to me.

I guess you could say that.

Is she there?

Who?

The cow.

[SLOWLY] Yes.

Put her on.

Is that wise?

Put her on.

Rita wants to talk to you.

Yes.

You have my husband, so Ihave your daughter, Maria.

I get him back, youget you little slut back.

And then you stay out of our lives forever.

Do you understand?

You're lying.

Call me when you realize I'm not.

[knocking]

I thought you kids mightlike some ginger nuts.

Thank you Mrs. West,and for inviting me over.

But I should probably be getting home soon.

I've just spoken to your mother,

and she said you can stayfor as long as you like.

In fact, she insisted on it.

So you kids have fun.

[door latching]

[non-english speech]

Your wife has started awar between our two families.

It could be argued that youwere the ones who started it.

But she was the one who took it too far.

But we will go further.

Much further than what you can imagine.

No!

No, we won't.

This has gone as far as it will go.

Don't you tell me what to do.

This is all because of you!

Yes!

So I will be the one who ends it.

[phone rings]

[clears throat] Yes?

[sighs] OK, how do we do this?

[music playing]

OK, that's quite enough of that.

Let's get you home, shall we?

OK, love.

You stay here.

I'll look after Maria.

OK.

[door latching]

[music playing]

Go to your mother.

Maria!

Hey, Ted.

Just between you and me--

maybe we do another job some day?

To soothe the pain.

Eh.

Doesn't hurt, to be honest.

The pain of admitting that you're wrong.

I'm not some kind of house frau, Ted.

I need to get out and do things.

To have an actual job to stopme going crazy around here.

But does it have to be this job?

Think about, Ted.

You can trust me.

I know all your connections because I've

made scones for most of them.

And you want to know the best thing?

What?

Put a woman in that store,doing what Rod Nugent does,

and no one will suspect it because women

never do that kind of thing.

[sighs]

Actually, that's not the best thing.

The best thing is that I can have a job,

and still do all the things that a wife does.

All of them.

Because I am very, very clever.

[groans] Ah.

[bell rings]

Hello, Ted, Rita.

Hello, Rod.

Thought we'd drop by on our way to vote.

Get the business out of the way, first.

Saturday morning.
