Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 35 - Episode #1.35 - full transcript

Do you think he'll win the fight?

Yup, if he wants it.

He's gotta block everything out.

Yeah.

No distractions.

Yeah, right.

Of any kind.

Like me?

He just got to concentrate on the fight.

Another 5k's, Nick.

Come on, give me a break.



Come on, your opponent won't.

Maybe you should give
the party a miss,

give the fight your best shot.

Hey, Rivers?
Where are you off to?

I got a date, mate.

No, wait a minute.
This party was your idea.

-Who is she?
-Wouldn't you like to know?

See you later, maybe.

-Bye-bye.
-You horror.

Say, Jodie.

What's it feel like to be
a boxing widow?

Boxing widow?
I'm not worried at all.

Nick needs all the rest he can get.

This is incredible.



Nick doesn't turn up,
Rivers has gone to see some chick.

Now Lucy isn't here.

-Well, we…
-Hey, Steve.

Just chill out, mate.

Relax?

What's this we got?

Just wanna gatecrash in the--

I told her she could invite some people.

You didn't tell me your friends
lived in the third world.

Come on, Alex.
You didn't have to come, you know.

Hello.
-Hey.

I was beginning to think
you weren't gonna show up.

Yo, this is Alexander.

Steve, Jodie, Con.

Hi, how are you?

Interesting place you've got here.

Well, yeah, it keeps us off the street.

I suppose so.

Let's go get a coke, Steve.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah. So, Alex, what do you do?
Are you at school?

I'm in uni, doing law.

You're a lawyer?
That's a pretty good.

There's some guys around here
that might need a lawyer sometime.

Yeah?
-Not now, but in a few years' time.

It's always good to get in,
the ground floor.

Yeah, well…

Rose, you know that partying
when you're pregnant

is a big cause of birth defect.

Is that what happened to you?

Excuse me?

There's a spunk over there
that I have to go and talk to.

Yeah, baby. How are you?

-How are you doing?
-You too, man.

Who's that?

I don't know, mate,
but she's got to be blonde and stupid.

Where's Lucy gone?
-So, who's this Alex guy?

He's just a friend.

Family friend or "friend" friend?

We used to go out together, okay?

I see.

Come on, come on, come on.

It's over, it's over.

Do you wanna get out of this dump?

Hey! Alex, my man!

Hey, what's happening, bro?

Whoo!

Hey, who's this beautiful girl?

Hi, I'm Tanya.

Tanya?

Pleasure to meet you.
Con Bordino, an honor.

So you two know each other?

Alex and I?

Come on, mate.
Alex is my lawyer, mate.

Me and him, we go way back.

Yeah, whatever you reckon, Con.

-We were just about to go.
-What for?

Me and you just gotta
get together with… Ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

What's the rush?

Detective Monaghan.

Bit loud, isn't it?

What, did somebody complain?

That's right. About a few things.

Don't mind if we check them out, do you?

All right, kids, nothing to worry about.

What's the problem?

Nothing to worry about.

Don't worry, Jodie, this won't take long.

So, where do we go from here?

What? Now?

No, no.
I mean, us in the future, you know.

Well, what do you want?

Still got that map of yours,
the trip north you didn't finish?

Maybe we could finish it together.

Just jump on my bike
and drive off into the sunset.

So you'd do that? You'd go away with me?

When the time's right.

Well, what's that mean?

School holidays? What?

When it's right for us.

You still haven't told me what you want.

I love being with you, Peter,

even though there's a thousand reasons
why I shouldn't be.

I… I don't know anything else than that.

I can't think any further.

Well, that's cool.

As long as I can still be with you.

Beautiful.

Look, officer.

We've turned the music down.
Can you just leave?

Yeah, I guess so.
What do you reckon, Sarge?

When I'm satisfied everything's okay.

Look, man. You cannot do this, all right?

You cannot walk in here
and tell us what to do.

Alex, can they do this?
No, you can't do this.

What's your name again, son?

Con, Con Bordino.
You know my name, man.

We've had information

that drugs and alcohol
are being used here tonight.

Drugs and alcohol?

Do we look like we're off our faces?

There's no drugs in here, man.

Maybe you'd like to convince me?

Empty your pockets.

Look, sergeant, this is my place

and there are no drugs here.
He's fine, he's clean.

Yeah.

Then Con won't have a problem
reassuring me, will you?

Look. The problem is--

-Will you show me?
-Take it easy, all right?

I'll do it,
I got nothing to hide, all right?

Convince me. Come on.

You see,
there's everything I got, mate.

Look. Have a look. There you go.

You're all heart.

You're gonna get nothing
from me, mate.

You just stuffed yourself hard, mate.

Looks like coke or speed, Constable.

Hey, no, man.

I didn't…
That's not mine. I swear.

I would have thought you'd come up
with something better than that.

Come on.
I've never seen that before in my life.

Hey, you must have planted it on me.

I've never heard of that one before.

Take him to the car, Constable.

What are you doing?
That's not my stuff.

Maybe we can check out the rest of you.

Come on!

Young lady. Come here.

Tell us where you got it from,
you'll make things a lot easy if you--

I don't know where I got it from, okay?

I don't even know where it came from.

-Give us a few names.
-I don't have any names.

Maybe we can put in a good word for you.

If he says he doesn't know anyone,
he doesn't.

The drugs were in his pocket.

He got them from somewhere.

We're denying that,

so just, get on
with whatever you have to do.

Con Bordino…

I'm charging you with possession
of a prohibited substance.

-Let's go over it again.
-What's the point?

Look, if someone planted drugs on you,
we've got to work out when.

-It was the coppers, all right?
-Come on, Con.

You took this stuff out
of your pockets yourself.

-How could the cops have it planted?
-How do I know?

They do that sort of stuff all the time.

It's not gonna help making
stupid accusations about the police.

You get a conviction, you got a record.

There are things you can't do,
things you can't be!

You don't believe me?

It's late, let's go to bed.

I wanna know.
You don't believe me, do you?

Look, I believe you.

No, I wanna know. Do you believe me?

The drugs were in your pocket.

That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.

What do you expect?

You're always making things up,
telling stories.

-Okay.
-You haven't got an explanation.

-I'm going to bed, you--
-Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think.

-Shut up and go to bed.
-We'll get you a lawyer,

you're gonna need one.

I saw the drugs myself.

Kids dabble in these things, it happens.

Not Con, I know him. He wouldn't.

You can't know everything
that goes on outside of school.

What were you and Monaghan barging
into the party for?

We had a complaint about the noise
and about drug use.

I just don't wanna think my kids
are getting a raw deal.

What are you saying?
We pick on kids?

I know you wouldn't, but--

Monaghan was doing his job, just like me.

We had a legitimate reason to be there,

the music was loud,
and we did find drugs.

I still find it hard to believe
that it was Con.

Are you calling me a liar?

Hi.

So, did I interrupt something?

No, time I'm went anyway.

Joe, please.

Problems?

Yeah, for a friend.

I thought you were having dinner
with your mother.

Yeah, I did. Why?

At the beach?

Don't know where that came from.

Have a record,
I won't get into another country.

So much for being
an international agent?

Gets bust out an engineering course.

No more career?

-Man--
-No more career.

Con, you're innocent, okay?

Don't forget that.

Yeah, right.

Okay? It's gonna mean something.

It's the most important thing.

Hey, what's this? A tea break, Nick?

You haven't even worked up a sweat yet.

You know, my cousin's
in a bit of trouble, okay?

-I'm trying to help him out.
-Yeah.

-What's new?
-I didn't do anything, all right?

You wanna win that fight?
You work that bag at 9:00

and then you can worry back
to cousin's latest strife.

This is serious, okay? I'm not joking.

We've all got problems.

I left mine at the door
to give you a chance to win that fight.

I expect you'd do the same.

All right, then, Nicko?

Don't lose that fight over me.

Con?

A friend told me
you got into trouble last night.

What sort of friend?

I don't suppose a friend
with the uniform, right?

Look, if you wanna talk about--

If I wanna talk
about anything to anybody,

I'll talk to my lawyer first, okay?

So you can tell that
to your friend from me.

Thanks.

All right, everyone.
Your essays are due in today.

Hit me with the excuses.

Bordino's, Miss, he was in rehab.

Shut up. Con didn't do it.

Lay off, Rivers.

I shouldn't have let the cops in.

Sorry to break up the debate, guys,
but we do have work to do here.

Have you got yours, Con?

Not exactly. I left it at home.

He probably snorted it, Miss.

Since when have you ever done
homework in your life?

Well, Peter?

Where's yours?

Um…

It's right here, Miss.

You better check it, miss.
It's probably recycled.

Or stolen.
-Dream on, suckers.

It's all my own work.

You won't mind
reading it out to us, then?

You sure you want me
to read this out?

Unless there's any reason
why you shouldn't?

None that I can think of.

Here we go.

It's called "Secret Love".

"Sand on your lips,

salt on my skin.

We come together,
waves crashing on the shore."

All right, that's enough.

That doesn't sound like
an essay to me, Peter.

You said we could use
any approach we wanted.

I chose personal experience.

The purpose was to demonstrate
clear thinking.

I was thinking pretty clearly at the time.

All right, that is enough!

I'll speak to you after.

Everybody else, you can open up
your books to Chapter Four.

Now!

What do you think you were doing?

There's a lot at stake here

and if you just wanna go and boast
to your mates…

-No, I don't!
-…you can forget it all right now!

I wanna be with you, Sam.

I wanna hug and kiss you.

I wanna be with you, too,

but we've got to be
careful here, all right?

I know.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

I better see you tonight.

I don't know what--

Please?
-Sam?

Yeah, I'll try and get it back to you
by Monday, Miss.

Good.

Hi, Yola.

Hi.

What was that all about?

Just an essay he's rewriting.

I gave him an extension on it.

It'd be good
if only he tried a bit harder.

A bit of favoritism?

No, not at all.

I gave half the class extensions, Yola.

All right, I wasn't criticizing.

Can you just leave the teaching to me?

I wanted to tell you
that Joe hasn't called me back.

Well, why don't you go and see him?

Because he'll probably arrest me
for cop bashing.

Come on.

He's a nice guy, he doesn't bite.

Just go, it's pathetic. Go on.

All right, I'm going.

Hi.

I'm pretty busy at the moment.

Listen, what I said
was out of line, I know.

I get a bit defensive about my kids,
sometimes too much.

I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean to hurt you.

I can't help being sensitive
about this sort of thing.

People are always ready
to put the boot into the police.

But we work hard, we do a good job.

I know you do, and I'm sorry.

I've got a big mouth.

It's harder when it comes
from someone who means a lot.

Sorry. What was that?

You heard.

Well, I'm pretty fond of you, too.

I can't believe we're having
this conversation in a cop shop.

We can always continue it later.

Come on, Joe, let's be realistic.

We tried to organize a weekend away
and what happens?

Your beeper goes off.

Tonight?

God.

I'm working.

I got the morning off.

I haven't. Here we go again.

The relationship you have
when you're not having a relationship.

I get off nights in a week.

A week.

I guess
I'll have to be happy with that.

Am I allowed to kiss a cop on duty?

Sorry, that's a chargeable offense.

Charge me.

Org?

-Yup, org.
-That is not a word.

There's nothing funny with that word.
It is a word.

I'll look at the dictionary.

-Go for it.
-Short for--

Give me a break.

I really hope that's Joe.

Please.

Peter.

Miss, hi.

Um, Ms. Robinson gave me an extension
on this essay and I've finished it,

so I thought I'd bring it round.

I know you think we're dedicated,
and we are,

but I think this could
have waited until Monday.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose.

It's, you know,
just that I think it's really good,

and I wanted to give it to her
straight away.

Is she in?

Sam, duty calls.

Peter.

Yeah. I'm sorry to disturb you.

Just that I finished this essay,
and I thought I'd give it to you now.

Thanks.

I never expected you to do this.

Excuse me.

Come outside.

-I can't. Now go.
-Come on.

Go, Peter. Go.

What's going on, Sam?

You okay?

Peter's just got a bit of a crush on me.

It's no big deal.

Turning up at my place
in the middle of the night is.

And it's not just one-sided either, is it?

Of course, it is.

What do you think I am, stupid?

I saw the way you acted with him.

Your body language
wasn't exactly saying "stay away."

I may have some feelings for Peter…

-But…
-But what?

You know how quickly
these things can get out of hand.

Are you sleeping with him?

-Yola.
-Are you?

-No.
-Well, thank goodness for that.

You better cool it with him straight away.

I know what I'm doing.

Do you?

It's your career and it's Peter's life
we're talking about.

You're right.

I'll straighten him out tomorrow.

I reckon, with your name being Rose,

the baby should have a flower name too,
like Jasmine.

I'm allergic to Jasmine.

Besides, everyone's gonna call it Jazzy.

Anyway, what if it's a boy then?

It has to be a strong name,

like William or Thomas.

Why don't you call it testosterone
and be done with it?

Woh! Jose.

We should call you
the Hartley Hammer,

-or something like that.
-Hammer?

What are you talking about,
Hammer?

Are you gonna call him, Il Martello,

that's how you say it in Italian.

I don't care
how you say it in Italian, all right?

You're not calling me
no Italian names, all right?

I'm a Greek, full-bred Greek.

-All right, Greek.
-Greek, geek.

Atleast, I'm not a Hari Krishna try-hard?

-Greek, Greek geek.
-You shiny bald baboon.

Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's right.

All, have a seat.

Show your face, will you?

Nick, Con, come on.

All right. Listen up.

Con.

Nick.

I'm gonna read part of poem
by William Butler Yeats.

And we'll discuss it.

So pay attention
or you won't be able to contribute.

"A pity beyond all telling

is hid in the heart of love.

The folk who are buying and selling,

the clouds on their journey above.

The cold wet winds ever blowing

and the shadowy hazel grove,

where mouse-gray waters are flowing,

threaten the head that I love."

All right.

Does anyone wanna kick-off the discussion
and tell me what the poem's about?

Come on, guys.

Con?

What? I don't have a clue.

Nick?

It said something
about threatened the head.

I don't know, someone get
the head cut off or something?

No, it's not.

It's about love.

Very good, Rose.

What is the poet trying to say about it?

I'm not sure.

Um, something about things
that can threaten it.

It's trying to convey the idea that

in this world, there are many things that
can conspire against two people's love.

That's why it says it's a pity.

Exactly, because it is a pity.

When two people are in love,
but they can't be together

because of circumstances,

society's rules,
it's heartbreaking…

Con!

But it happens.

That sucks.

If you're in love,
why should you let anything stop you?

Because, unfortunately…

sometimes other people deem
that that love is unacceptable.

For various reasons.

Between someone really old
and someone really young?

Yes.

Or a teacher and a student, say?

That would also apply.

I don't think this guy knows
what he's on about.

If you're really in love, you don't care
what the rest of the world thinks,

you just go for it, no matter what.

All right. That's enough of that.

Open your books to page 43.

Sir.

Mr. Southgate.

Sir, I can't make training this afternoon.

What? Your fight's tomorrow night, Poulos.

I know, I've got an important
meeting to go to for Con.

You can't afford any distractions.

You just don't care, do you?

I bet you think he's guilty.

Hey, it doesn't matter what I think.

What do you care about?
You're never affected by anything.

You want me to just ignore
my best friend?

My cousin?

I made a point

of not letting my problems
interfere with your training.

I expect you to do the same.

And what problems are they, sir?

Somebody hand in an assignment late
or did your team lose?

Try my wife divorcing me.

Now, if I let that affect my coaching,
I'll be no good to you.

So what, are you just gonna put it out?

You're just gonna forget
about something like that?

Does the fight mean that much to you?

My marriage doesn't stand a chance, Nick,
but you do.

So don't throw it away
by skipping training, don't.

No, I have to.

All right.

If you're not gonna make an effort,
you find yourself another coach, okay?

Well, fine, I don't need you anyway.
I'll do it myself.

If Monaghan
was standing like this,

I have my back towards where I
couldn't see what he was doing.

He could have easily slipped
speed in my pocket.

There is no way
in the world he would've slipped

that speed in your pocket.
That was already there

by the time you were over there.

You're calling me a liar too?

-I am not calling you a liar.
-Are you calling me a liar?

-He's not saying that--
-Are you calling me--

I don't think that either.

We're to help you, all right?

-Calm down.
-Okay. I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry.
-Calm down, all right?

Now think back on the night,
you know, who you were with,

what you're doing at the time.

Did you see anything suspicious?

-Yeah.
-You have to think back.

If there's anybody there,
they would have told us by now.

Con, it might not have seemed
suspicious at the time,

but now you got to work your way
back and think.

What do you call suspicious?

There's got to be someone
we have to pin, okay?

Now, think of someone who's got,
you know, a lot to lose

if they're busted with the drugs?

That's simple, mate,
everybody in that place.

All right. All right. Now, Con,
someone who's got more to lose

than just you or me.

You mean someone
who's been busted before?

Bolton, he's got a record, hasn't he?

-Bo… Bolton?
-Come to think of it,

he was acting pretty weird.

What do you mean? What sort of weird?

I don't know, just jumpy.

Yeah.
-Yeah?

Scared.

Wait a minute guys
Wait a minute.

So come on.
Are you gonna say something or what?

I don't know
what you're talking about, Poulos.

Hey, we know you know what happened
to Con at the party, mate, so speak up.

Yeah, is that right?

Yeah, and I know you got a record
with the cops too, but that doesn't mean

-I'm going to say anything.
-Yeah, I do.

-And if I do, I'm dead, all right?
-Yeah.

So why don't you just tell us?
Tell us--

Look, some chick gave me
some speed at the party, all right?

Who, mate? Who?

This chick named Tanya, all right,
she's an old friend of mine.

-Tanya, who?
-Mate, where can we find this Tanya?

Look, she won't be able
to help you anyway.

This guy trying to pick her up,
gave it her, all right?

Tell me, mate,
I wanna know his name.

Alexander or something.
Look, I don't know--

Hey, don't walk away from me.
Come here.

Alexander wouldn't do anything like that.

Yeah, how would you know?

Well, what reason would he have?

He's got marks, mate,
so he wouldn't get caught to get to you.

He made it pretty clearly
that he thought that we were scum.

Okay? It had to be him.

Look, it could have been anyone,
and you know it.

And since when have you
trusted Bolton anyway?

And he's got the information second-hand.

All right. Fair enough. All right.

I'll let this guy have his say,
but when I find him,

-I'm gonna hammer him.
-Wrong.

-You understand?
-Wrong.

You guys will stay here, I'll talk to him.

Where are you going?

Come on, guys, I think she's right.

Don't worry, I'll find this guy.

Hi. This is a nice surprise.

Maybe not.

Sorry, I missed you
after the party that night.

That's why I'm here.

Don't get me wrong.
I'm sure they're really nice.

They're just not my type.

Especially not Con?

Yeah. I feel sorry for him.

It's hardly the end of the world.

They're not gonna give him
the electric chair.

The Law Review is coming up soon.

You wanna come with me?

Show you what a real party's like.

Did you have anything
to do with setting him up?

What?

You've had drugs at parties
in the past, Alex.

Yes, so?

Maybe you had some
when the cops came in,

panicked, and hid them on Con.

Give me a break.
I feel sorry for the guy.

What more do you want me to do?

-Tell the truth.
-The truth?

The truth is, I really like you
to come to the Law Review with me.

We're finished.
I told you that months ago.

Guess I should find someone else then.

Don't wanna waste a ticket.

You did it, didn't you?

So what if I did?

You bastard.

You have to tell the police.
Tell them the truth.

You must be joking.

If you don't, I will.

I'll deny everything you say.

So where does that leave you?

What a scumbag, mate.

Why did you go out with someone
like that in the first place?

He wasn't like that
when I went out with him.

-I didn't think he was anyway.
-I'm sure.

-Look, I'm sorry.
-Look, it's not your fault, okay?

All I'm saying is that I don't think
Con should take the blame

for some creep like that.
-No way. man.

Look, there's nothing I can do.

If he doesn't own up, I can't do nothing.

Don't worry about it.
Look, we've still got Tanya.

She might
have seen something at the party.

-Bolton knows where to find her.
-Nick.

We'll talk to him tomorrow.

What's this I hear
about you giving the coach the flick?

He got on my nerves,
so I gave him the flick.

Hey, you can't give up
on your discipline now, all right?

The punters are paying
good money to see you perform.

In case you ever noticed
that your brother needs

-a bit of help, okay?
-Nick.

No. It's all right.
Don't worry about it.

Don't waste your breath
on this guy. Look at him.

Listen, Con's problem doesn't have
to affect the fight, all right?

I wanna see you do well.

Yeah. And what about him?

-What?
-Well, what do you want for him?

Can't you see any decent
business opportunities there?

Nick, I said don't speak like that.

Why not? Hey, it's true.

He hasn't done a thing,

and you're treating him
like he's some sort of criminal.

Whatever happened
to innocent until proven guilty?

Or doesn't that count
when it's a family member?

Mr. Southgate.

You know the rules, Jodie.

Students aren't allowed in here
without knocking first.

But I knocked.

What do you want now?

Nick needs you.

He can't walk
into that boxing ring tonight

totally unprepared and unsupported.

If you're not there to help him,
he won't stand a chance.

Nick has to learn commitment, Jodie.

If he has to learn it the hard way,
then so be it.

He was helping a friend in need.
Isn't that commitment?

Of sorts.

If you wanna achieve
anything in this life,

sometimes you have to put
the personal things behind you.

So is that what you've done, honestly?

I, um, heard about your divorce,

and I'm sorry you're having
a rough time lately,

but so is Nick.

Some things demand total commitment.

If you're not willing to give it,
you're inviting failure.

That's one thing I learned
from my marriage.

And some things demand loyalty.

If Nick gets thrashed tonight,
whose fault will it be?

His, because he missed a few
lousy training sessions to help a mate?

Or yours, because you couldn't help him
when he needed you most?

Look, I told you,
I don't know where Tanya lives, all right?

I thought you said
she was your friend?

Just because she's my friend
doesn't mean I know where she lives.

Hey, we need to find her,
all right? Okay?

Sometimes
she cleans windscreens for bucks.

Where? Where?
-Where? Where? Where?

Anzac Parade most of the time.

Do you realize
how long that road is?

-Sure.
-All right. Let's not waste time.

We gotta find this chick, right?
Come on.

Listen, mate.
-Hey, good people, how are you?

-Have you seen Tanya?
-No.

-Sorry, don't know her.
-Don't know her?

-Don't know Tanya?
-No, I work alone.

Come on. Hurry up.

Look. That's her. There she is.

I know.
Turn here, that's it. That's it.

Pull over.

Come on, let's go.

I don't wanna cause
any trouble, all right?

I don't wanna cause you
any trouble,

I've already got the trouble.

Please, we just wanna know
what he said to you.

I'm not gonna go to the cops.

Look, did he offer you some speed?

-Yes?
-Yeah.

Just before you arrived.

Did you see him plant it on me?

No. But he could have done it any time.

Yeah, she's right.

If you really need me
to talk to the cops,

then I will, okay?

Hey.

But what I think,
it's my word against his, so…

-Sorry.
-Thanks.

Yeah. But Alexander
doesn't have to know that.

What?

Just an idea. Come on.

So, do I still get to do
your windscreen or what?

Hey, mate, you can do
my whole windscreen,

you can do anything you want.

Alex.

Alex.

I wanted you to know
that Con has a witness.

Tanya, you remember her?

She saw what you did,
and she's willing to go to the police.

I don't believe you.

Suit yourself.

Lucy, wait.

You gotta help me here.
Talk to Con.

We can come to some arrangement.

What's it matter to him?
He's got nothing to lose.

He has. He has a lot to lose, okay?

I'll pay his fine.
I'll get him the best lawyer in town.

It's out of my hands.

How can you do this,
after all that we meant to each other?

Other things mean more to me now.

How can you put one of these
nobodies ahead of me?

Easily.

You're the one that's done wrong,

and you're the one
who's gonna have to pay for it.

That's one thing I've learned
from these nobodies.

Well, how'd it go?

All clear, mate. All clear.

-Thank you.
-All right.

-Thanks to you, Luc.
-I knew it, all along.

Excuse me.
Are you kissing my girlfriend?

I'm an innocent man,
I can touch who I want, all right?

Yeah. Don't take too many liberties.

-Come on, it's not quite over yet.
-I'm an innocent man.

No. I just spoke to Alexander's father.

He and a lawyer are coming down
to make a full statement.

So what's gonna happen to him now?

Too early to tell, but all charges
against Con have been dropped.

-Yeah.
-Good.

What can I say? Look, Joe, you know,

about what I said to you guys
about all the blaming and all that,

I'm sorry, okay?

All forgotten.

We got to get to a fight, okay?

-That's right.
-Come on, let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here. Come on.
-Okay.

Well…

Um, does this mean what I think it means?

A swap shift.

I had to.

I got worried you might think
I was not worth waiting for after all.

Never.

If this is a dream,
I hope I don't wake up.

Got the whole night free.

All right.

Well, you tell whoever swapped with you
that, um, I love them.

Would you believe Monaghan?

Well, then, just tell him
that I like him a lot.

I booked a table at your favorite
brasserie for 8:00 p.m.

And after that, we could go to a club,

walk along the beach, you know.

Anything in particular you'd like to do?

Well, you know…

Seeing as, um…

Sam is not here,

why don't I just, um…

help you out of your uniform,

then we can discuss it.

Yeah?

That's great news, Con.

I was sure you were never
the one to blame.

Yeah. I knew you wouldn't do
anything bad either.

Thanks, you sexy tiger.

Hey, I could have used you
as a character witness.

-I'm sorry for doubting you.
-Yeah.

Pa, let's not go overboard?

No. I… I should have trusted you.

You're a good boy,
you always have been.

-Yeah. The responsible son, right?
-That's right.

From now on, you give me your word,
I'll never question it.

-Okay?
-Whatever you say.

-Cool.
-Okay. Come on.

Let's go, we've got a fight to get to.
We're gonna be late.

Can I go?
-I need you to keep me company.

Look, what I'll do is
I'll give you a call, right?

And I'll tell you
what's happening on the fight.

But, you know,
Nick's gonna win, that's it.

-Here's your costume.
-Thank you.

Ma, what's this?
He's going to a fight, not to a disco.

-Like Rocco said, all right?
-All right.

-People are coming to pay money.
-Come on.

We're gonna giving them
some value here.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

-Come on.
-Be careful.

Dude, I think we're gonna be late, man.

We're gonna be there to win.

Now come on.

All right.
-One, two.

Tonight, we have a contest

consisting of three rounds
of three minutes

to be decided by a referee
or by a knockout.

-In the blue corner…
-Look at his eyes.

Look at his eyes.
Entertain the punters,

and get in there when you're ready.

…we have "The Terror of Tempe"
Tony Monroe.

And in the red corner…

Let's get him, man.
Do your combinations,

and you keep it, that's it.

"The Greek Grenade" Nick Poulos.

You take a good look,

because you ain't
gonna remember a thing.

But I'll remember you lying
on the canvas.

Okay, boys.

And the referee for tonight,
Terry Davies.

Hey, give us a clean fight, okay?

All right, boys, to the center.

All right, boys. You know the rules.

Do you think he's ready for the match?

Yeah. Don't worry about it, he'll be fine.

Hey, little brother,
I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

You forgive me, man?

Only if you shut up
and watch the match, okay?

Okay. Big Poulos.

Fight.

I wish Southgate was here.

Marnie…

No, pl… please don't hang up.

Stop.

Keep going.

-What's your name?
-Poulos.

-How many fingers do I have?
-Three.

All right. Box.

You keep dropping your guard.

No. Have a sit.
Hold the bucket, mate.

You're not looking too good, Nick.

-If you came here to bag me, I don't--
-Listen, listen to me.

This guy is only any good
on the attack, okay?

You got to advance him,
get in there, keep him on the back--

-I can't get a punch--
-That's all right, listen to me.

Advance on him, attack, all right?

You attack. His defense
has got a hole in it a mile wide.

Come on, now get in there.
Go for it. Go.

Come on, let's go.

What, nothing strong?

Not for you.

That's right, I'm underage, aren't I?

You wouldn't wanna corrupt me now,
would you?

Peter, look, that isn't why
I asked you over.

And you said you all would…

No.

This isn't gonna get any easier to say.

Well, then, don't say it.

It's got to finish.

We've got to finish.

Why?

Because it's wrong…

for both of us.

Yeah, well, it doesn't feel
wrong to me, okay?

I've been very foolish, Peter.

It's not your fault.

Look, don't you dare
talk to me about it.

As if it's got nothing to do with me.

I wanted this to happen, too, you know.

Look, it's over, all right?

I love you.

I love you.

Don't say that.

Well, it's true.

And you love me, too. Otherwise
none of this would have happened.

It's just all too complex.

It's the wrong time, the wrong place…

This could ruin your life, Peter.

Cut it out.
-And it could ruin my career.

Look.

Some things just aren't meant to happen.

We've gone too far to turn back now, Sam.

Look, I wanna be with you.

I don't care
what everyone else thinks or does.

Do you wanna be with me?

Yeah!

Hey, you win some, you lose some, buddy.

Yeah. I'll keep an eye on that boy
if I were you.

He's got a big future.

Sam? Sam?
