- Are we going up there? - No, just you.
We stay down there and have lunch. Do not touch the driver.
Yes, that's how it is. So they do not hire prostitutes?
That's not at all what I'm listening to.
- I listen to old classics. - Old classics?
- It's actually political. - Playboy Carti is not an old classic.
- I do not listen to him. Only old ... - 'I do not listen to him.'
It's just so bad.
A song is like four minutes. No, it's almost eight minutes.
- It is nice. - And it goes like this ...
An incredible vibe.
- And not in a good way. - It's like you'd taken LSD ...
If you look up here to the right, you will see the place.
It is...
- A speed control, Hoaggie. - What?
- You drove past a speed control. - Faen ...
They kind of do not have talent.
If you are talking about texts, then there are many who have talent.
- The way they deliver them. - But only a few.
Your music is just noise.
There's just a lot of noise. No event or order.
- It's the same sequence ... - Sorry, do you know how fast you drove?
But to say that their music is bad.
There is a difference between saying that you do not like their music.
- I dislike them because they are bad. - You know no one about the real world.
- I knock the phone out of your hand. - No, you do not.
- So mature! - Hi!
Do you think I'm kidding?
How can you ...?
Press to jump.
A picture, yes.
- You, Hoaggie ... - No, you've eaten everything.
- Yes, but it is part of the car trip experience. - The car ride experience.
Okay, give it to me.
You can share this.
If you can communicate in a mature and adult way,
then I agree to it. Even guilt.
That's two for 3.50.
100 bottles of beer on the shelf
100 bottles of beer
Take one down, send it around, ninety-nine bottles of beer on the shelf
Not ok.
We're taking rounds. You love it.
- I hate it! - Made around.
It's amazing. You sort of get two eggs in the same basket.
One of them is a nice, kind and patient boy
and the other is ...
What? An egg?
And...
- Knock Knock. - Who's there?
- Banana. - Which banana?
- Knock Knock. - Who's there?
- Banana. - Which banana?
- Knock Knock. - Who's there?
- Banana. - Which banana?
- Knock Knock. - Who's there?
- Clementine. - What clementine?
Only I did not squeeze a banana too.
It was really bad.
I do not suck.
Yes, you do suck.
- You suck. - You suck even more.
- Knock Knock. - Who's there?
- Doctor. - Doctor Who.
I do not want to photograph their butts.
Okay, okay.
Now we're getting started.
Manage?
What are you thinking about?
Just the job.
- Do you boys enjoy the view? - Yes, it's great.
- Jenny still grills me. - About sharing the cabin in Coromandel?
I want the boys to have a summer place with fellowship.
- It's ok not to have it. - I'm not hungry for any community.
No mandatory committee meetings and passive aggression?
I was trying to organize a fundraiser with Jenny.
- It was impossible. - Alan?
I got so angry that I almost said something.
How nice.
Great. Is it a family picnic?
I should probably introduce myself.
Mandrake.
And you are ...?
Alan, and this is my wife Jill.
Good day, Alan and Jill.
Who are they? Dupond and Dupont?
This is Jordan and Maika.
Hey boys...
It is completely incredible. You have the whole place to yourself.
Privacy is weird, huh?
Here we are...
in the middle of nowhere, but right now
there is internet and radio waves going right over us.
No, nothing sounds out here.
- Mom! - It's okay, Maika.
They can not hear us.
And we can not hear them.
They do not even know we are alive.
I see you're curious about the gun.
- Do you want to look at it, boys? - Stay away from them!
Do not be nervous. I just want to talk a little. Sit down, Dad.
Mother...
Maika, look at me. It is OK. Stay there.
- There is no danger. - That's good, Mom.
As long as everyone does as they are told, this is over in a short time.
- What do you want? - Thanks for asking, Jill.
I guess the nice family car by the hill belongs to you.
GPS, level-adjusted seats and nice cup holders.
Here, just take it. Please...
Thank you very much.
Can you empty your pockets while still holding on?
Glorious.
- I'm not a mathematician, but ... - He had to leave his cell phone at home.
He is still under house arrest, technically ...
That's probably quite wise, Dad.
They must respect you before they can respect themselves.
I would appreciate if you lay down on the rug there with your faces down.
Take the time you need.
Guys, come here. Do exactly as he says.
Just obey.
Okay, then we go.
Do not turn around.
It is OK.
Hoaggie ...
- What did you say? - It's just...
- What did he call you? - It's just a nickname.
- What's the nickname? - Hoaggie.
- Hoaggenraad. Am I saying that right? - Yes, that's right.
- Unusual. An interesting name. - Dutch. Like Mandrake?
I'm a wizard.
I make things disappear.
I want to look at you. Hi!
Hoaggenraad.
Hoaggie!
I like Hoaggie. It is friendly and ...
I know that. Where have I heard the name Hoaggie before?
- Come on, you need to know. - I do not know.
- I tend to remember well. Jill, where? - Do not know.
Tubs, where have I heard the name Hoaggie before? I know that it ...
- Come on, do not disappoint me. - I do not know what the hell you're talking about!
We have company.
Up with you all. Come on, up!
Up.
Up, up.
Get up. So, yes.
Good, boy.
Now we pretend we are all happy campers.
Happy campers.
Look at them.
Now we are not going to be unpleasant. Everyone waves to him.
Do not be rude.
When you look back on this ...
is it now you wish you had done something.
What the hell have you done ?! Fuck!
- When the sun goes down, we drive. - It's getting cold.
Yes, but tonight we do not have to be out, which is a nice change.
You can take those kids ...
and put them somewhere.
The food disappears nowhere.
You have no booze, old boy, do you?
- Not that? - Jill?
Such a shame.
Damn you!
Damn you all!
Fuck you!
One never knows where the day will take one.
Hoaggie ...
I did not wake up this morning and think 'there I am tonight', but here we are now.
What do we have here?
'Jill Marama Booth.'
Fascinating ... You kept your name.
Damn modern, huh?
Kill me first, or I'll kill you!
I think I'm driving for a while.
You can sit in the back seat with the Hoaggie.
Slightly changed plans. Just a quick detour.
Come on.
I can live with this.
Then we tighten up, all of us.
Where are you going to take us?
Home.
Really a shame.
It's amazing how a little music can lighten the mood.
How's the philosophy, old boy?
It probably does not seem to me, but I love to read.
I would probably have fixed university, things would have been different.
Not to these your profession, but ...
I believe that all the lessons one needs to learn come during the course of life.
It's something I've been thinking about for a while. I want to hear what you think.
It's unsafe to leave a driver alone with his thoughts, Hoaggie.
Do not diss my profession ...
Is that a question?
I did not say I was a teacher.
But you are, are you?
I'm sure you said that, but you're having trouble remembering.
The shock ...
with everything.
- Dirt? - No.
- Twilight? - No.
- Dust? - Same as dirt.
Yes ...
Desert!
- No. - Men kom an ...
Like me! Driver.
In the.
I give up.
Distance.
- Distance. - I heard you the first time, Tubs.
It's a bit abstract. I do not think it is allowed.
You would not say that if you had found out.
Where are the boys?
I'll get us through this. I promise.
I'll get us through this.
Come on, Jill. It's better that way.
You know how boys can be. They would have been in the way.
At least they did not suffer. Not really...
Not as individual.
See it this way, Jill ...
The worst has happened.
You fucking killer!
Unlike what then? A fucking accountant?
Who's next?
Who has one? Come on now.
- Jill? My ship is loaded with ... - I do not think so.
Sorry to disappoint you. My ship is loaded with...
- with something beginning with ... - F! I can play.
- Just ... Damn it! - My ship is loaded with...
My ship is loaded with something that starts with F!
Prison.
And.
That was easy.
That's good, buddy.
No, cameras.
Absolutely not.
Tubs and I came to recently out for something unhappy with a Mercedes.
We did not even get used to it, did we?
The car owner had very limited taste in music.
Can you fathom it? Just a single CD in the glove compartment.
On.
Do you always obey?
Jill, I have a bad conscience for not asking what you're working on.
I've all talked a little with Hoaggie.
- What do you do? - Teacher. She will not talk to you.
- Same school? Another ... - Same.
Are you kind and give your wife a chance to answer, please?
A noble profession, Jill.
You raise the country's youth together.
A couple of teachers.
- Primary or secondary school? - Junior high school.
Same age as their boys.
- How long...? Where did you say you work? - We did not say that. Wellington College.
- How long have you been there? - She's been there five years and I six.
- And before that? - I was at Scots College.
- How long were you there? - Faen ...
- Not the first workplace. - No, it was not.
- And before that? - At Horowhenua College.
- And before that? - At the teacher training college.
Because I was a fucking zero.
And before that?
- Yes, all right. - What did you say?
When did you go there? Hakawai Point.
Hakawai Point. That's it ...
It is the boys' home that is close to ...
- Pretty tough in places like this, huh? - I've heard that.
- But you were there. - I only practiced at the school there.
Only temporarily. I saw nothing.
- What had you seen then? - You would rather not say that.
Tubs, you were at Hakawai Point for a while, huh?
Did you enjoy your time there, Tubs?
I was there in 1988. It was before his time.
You know what, Hoaggie? Hakawai Point was actually ...
Tubs, what was the name of the place that guy was from?
Rudy Bocock, you know. He knocked down that aid worker.
Beat some retirees with a cricket bat.
Somewhere around Foxton Ways.
Glen Lecky was a real pig. He was there too.
And Mark Sitko. No wait. Mark Sitko was at Epuni ...
- Do the names seem familiar? - As I said, it was a long time ago.
- Many of them have been on the news. - And not everyone there became a psychopath.
- We actually helped the children there. - Did you get any help there, Tubs?
- Which wing? At home, that is. - What makes you believe ...?
- Stop talking shit now. - Do I look familiar? People tend to say that.
- That was a long time ago. I was a child. - What are you talking about?
- In principle, yes. - Do you think he exploited children there?
Is all this a fucking revenge?
Hope you were raped.
I have to ...
I can not hear. To open.
What did you say, Hoaggie?
- I must go to the toilet. - You can walk next to the road.
- There is no paper. - I'm getting it.
I'm shitting.
Just do it.
If you can handle the stench, then.
Go then.
Are you going far?
Not far enough.
Such homes are nowhere for children.
Nobody deserves ...
No one deserves it.
Where did you leave them?
My boys. Where did you leave them?
You should not leave them alone out there.
HELP - KIDNAPPET! CALL THE POLICE DRIVING ON ROAD K821
Was it tough?
Drive carefully.
There is no more toilet paper.
Thanks.
Have you hurt yourself?
I was a little too eager to get out on the trails and ...
stumbled upon a root. No danger.
In the.
Try again.
That's not how it happened, Hoaggie. Tell me what happened. Come on.
- Come on. - I ...
I got scared. I was scared of a goat.
I fell down the slope.
A little embarrassed, actually.
- What happened, Hoaggie? - I hit my arm.
Get in the car, Hoaggie.
Cigarette.
What is he doing?
Oh my God!
Run, run!
Run!
Kom an!
Are you kind and give this to Hoaggie?
Put it on your shirt, Hoaggie.
My husband did not.
- My husband was not one of them. - One of whom?
- One of the bad guys? - Yes.
You have a good husband. You married a good man.
- You have chosen a good father. - Yes, you sick bastard!
You obviously have something against me. You have an opinion about me.
Do what you want with me, but let her go. She has not done anything to you.
We're in the middle of nowhere. Tie her and leave her by the road.
I do what you want, as long as you let her go.
- Alan ... - No, listen here. You have me.
You have found me. She has not done anything.
We did not find you. We were not looking for you.
It's the old usual. Next meal, next car. Right, Tubs?
It's just a happy coincidence.
In another scenario, some backpackers disappear and we go to bed early.
Gone, damn it! Away from me!
Jill!
Gone, damn it!
Jill!
I could chat all night long, but Tubs will probably want to go to the pub.
- You do not demand much you, Tubs. - No, please ...
- Fuck you! - Take care of your language, Jill.
- Please, Hoaggie? - I ...
- Stop stuttering and express yourself clearly. - I do not know what you want me to say!
Funny enough, you can't teach people what they need.
One must lead them to the insight. Do you agree, Jill?
- Please do not hurt her. - Shall I not hurt her?
Okay, I saw things at home.
- Alan, do not say anything! - No, Jill.
Now listen to Hoaggie as he opens up to us.
- What do you want me to say? - You said you saw things.
It's a little vague for me.
Cabinet treatment.
Cabinet treatment! The principals called it that.
They kept the baby's head in a closet and beat them with a leather belt.
Tell Jill.
They locked the children in cells, sometimes for several days.
And it was a boy who forced them to fight each other.
Night watchman Ben Crealy was fired for going into the boys' sleep ...
I do not want to talk about the child fucker! Why did you pick him up?
Did he fuck kids? Why did you pick him up?
- Just say what you want. - I want you to tell about yourself.
I saw how the men beat the children together with concept holders.
What's on the hook ', Hoaggie?
What is it, Hoaggie?
It was a procedure. It was a petition.
They lined up the kids
on the farm in three rows.
So you were never on lead? Are you sure about that?
- I was an assistant teacher. - Are you absolutely sure, Hoaggie?
Yes, it was a ...
It was an occasion. I used to not join.
They were understaffed and I helped with the call ...
Fuck!
Damn, that was ...
It was a boy ...
He was probably eight or nine and had tattooed himself ...
with a swastika on his arm.
On the underside of the arm.
He had done it himself in the room with a needle ...
and ink from a pen.
And one of the principals ...
Freiberg. Tim Freiberg, het han.
He lined up the children.
The boy with the tattoo was small so he stood in front.
Freiberg saw the tattoo, made the boy walk forward and ...
He got one of the other principals to pick up a wire brush.
You know one that you use to scrub the grill in the kitchen.
He handed it to the boy and said, 'I want you to scrub it off.'
'You need to scrub off that swastika tattoo.'
The boy would not and refused ...
Freiberg got a young headmaster to hold him and did it himself.
He grabbed his arm, scrubbed away the skin and ...
The boy screamed and the other boys cried.
Freiberg just scrubbed and scrubbed.
And I ... just stood there watching.
I was just standing there ...
What could I have done? That was not my position.
What could I have done?
- What could you have done? - That was me 30 years ago.
It's in the past. Let's leave it there.
Jill...
A good story.
Graphic.
Rich in detail, you know.
The most important thing about a story is the details.
But it was no wire brush. It was made of nylon.
It still did the job, but it only took three times as long.
You know what?
It's an ability to get to the core, Hoaggie.
One peels away the old self-deception.
That's the important thing.
You got what you wanted. Let her go now, please.
Please, just ... Just let her go.
Let her go.
Look at the stars.
I remember ... It's been many years now.
I was in Hokianga for a few weeks.
Some evenings after a few beers
we rowed out with an old rubber boat in the water.
We sat there chatting, watching the lights in Rawene down by the harbor and just ...
smoked grass.
We lay down, the waves rocked us ...
Why does the sky feel so much closer when you are out in the water?
I hate this ...
Mother...
Jill...
What do you say, Jill?
Does it look different ...
where do you come from?
I always knew there was something.
I could see it in your eyes. I saw you go back there.
There is a difference between doing something and letting it happen.
That must be it.
But they live on the same street.
I just wish you had told me.
Are you pleased now?
It is getting closer.
You can go to hell.
Jill! Jill, Jill!
Jill, get up!
Just get up, Jill!
Up, up with you!
Jill!
She had a count. I must admit.
I understand why you married her.
I mean ... Even a good audiobook would not have been so stupid.
Faen ...
'I should be your Adam, but rather I am your fallen angel.'
Have you read Frankenstein, Hoaggie?
Let me guess ... You identified with the monster.
Yes, of course you did.
You misunderstood the story, you fucking idiot.
And I did not create you.
All right.
Faen.
Open the boot lid.
You should probably call the roadside assistance.
Is everything OK?
Yes, everything is fine. We punctured.
We have a spare wheel, so it's going well.
Yes, thank you for stopping by.
Fuck!
Oh my God!
Fix it, damn it. Solve it!
Stop!
Stop! Stop!
There are two men with rifles there. They have killed people.
We have to go right away.
We have to get out of here. Looks like I'm kidding, does it?
Shit and go!
I do not have time for your fucking attitude.
I understand you're a tough boy.
Let me in the car now!
Go from here.
What the hell?
Get out of the car, damn it!
Hey!
Faen.
Get in the car.
What the hell is this?
- Good evening. - Hell!
Drive! Just drive.
It's a choice.
- Drive, drive. Just drive! - Shut up!
Or you can listen to me.
Listen to me.
- How many of you are in there? - What do you want?
- Just do some justice. - Do not listen to him.
- What's your name? - Kynan.
Do not talk to him.
Hey, Kynan.
I do not have time to tell the whole story, but the man in the back seat is naughty.
Third prize.
- Bad things happen to children in his vicinity. - I was not involved in it.
- Only I can keep you alive. - You shit in these young people.
You do not know him and do not know what he has done.
Just drive!
Just drive, you stupid bastard!
What is the best thing to do, Kynan?
Stay seated in the car. Stay in the car.
- Bli. - Boy ...
You just have to get out of here.
Do not do it. Do not do it!
Do not do it.
No do not do it!
Thank you for your understanding.
Pang.
Yes, that's right.
An obedient boy.
I know exactly who you are. Boys' home.
Transitional housing. Prison.
You feel at home in a cage.
You think you're a free man.
You're still on a leash.
One more stop.
And since the pub.
My ship is loaded with...
Come on, old boy. Tubs help you.
What are you doing?
It was just like that.
As you wish.
Okay, Hoaggie. Then we put you on track.
What are the odds ...
that we came to meet as we did?
It's a small country.
You took us in and spat us out when we were 17.
Where do you think we went?
Until tonight I always asked myself ...
I always asked myself why I did nothing.
Why I was so cowardly.
It is not right to blame it on cowardice.
For the truth is that I ...
I thought you deserved it.
I should have helped.
I should have helped you.
What do you mean?
Of.
You. It was you who ...
Of.
If it was not me, it was another kid.
We are all equal to you.
You are all equal to us.
com an.
We do not need to haul this out anymore.
What are you doing, Hoaggie?
You got me ...
None of you fucking pigs have got me.
Because I think that ...
No one got me.
I do not understand how you did it.
Go to hell.
Soon done.
What are you doing?
Your naughty little bastard. Your shit.
I will get you. I know you were ... Damn.
It's something like ...
Did you not understand?
I hate this place.
