[upbeat music playing]
[Kayla] Today's the day.
[mimics explosion] You forgot the...
I forgot the explosion. [chuckles]
Give the guy four minutes of choreography,
not a problem.
Two-part fist bump goes to pieces.
Yeah, mind's on other things. [chuckles]
Oh, there she is.
Hey, guys!
[whimsical music playing]
[Mac] No, no, coach.
Not a real bear.
Nice one.
What's wrong with a window? You love a window.
Jacob's not really a window kind of guy.
If God wanted us to walk through windows, he would've put them at foot level.
Thanks.
Shall we?
Don't you need to get the keys back before your mom notices they're gone?
Don't make her suspicious.
It's not the first time we've broken into a rink to skate.
Sure.
You're amazing.
I will check in with you after we practice, OK?
- Cool. - Bye.
[birds chirping]
[Jenny] Anything else you fancy?
- Hm? - Anything else you fancy?
No, I'm good.
[rap music playing from headphones]
- Thanks, Mr. Mac. - Got it, bud.
Wow, that's without balloons.
[sighs]
[exhales]
Morning.
[dramatic music playing]
Mom...
It's called Mr. Pop 'n' Crisp. Yeah. Your website said you had it in stock.
I've never lost when I've had Pop 'n' Crisp for breakfast.
- No, no, it's not a type of bubble bath. - I think I made a flake.
- What'd you stick that with? - Cream cheese.
They don't have it in stock.
- Mom. - I know.
I know. I'm sorry. Come on. Come on. I know.
Uh, Mac...
- Go away, Carson. - [Luke] Mac!
You can have mine if you like.
That's very sporting of you, Carson. [claps]
Oh, it's nothing.
I try and do things by the book.
- Right, Mac? - Have you spit in it?
- Mac! - Just asking.
See? All good.
What do you say?
[Mac] Yeah, thanks.
No need to say anything else. We'll do our talking on the ice.
And on the page.
All right. I gotta head.
Last meeting before the big night, but I'll see you there. See you there.
[laughs]
[Jenny] What a nice boy. I told you you two were friends.
[sighs]
[sinister music playing]
[clinks]
Mac?
[panting]
No, no, no, no, no!
[panicked breathing]
[footsteps approaching]
Kayla! Kayla!
Mum's here!
- No, no, no. - Mum, I can take one box.
[sighs]
Sky, come on. What are you waiting for?
I got 800 rolls to butter.
[inhales deeply]
I don't think the two hours this morning was enough time to practice.
What?
- What? - I don't know.
It's just...
Watching you go through the routine, me chilling out,
it's like every skating competition we've ever done.
Remember Spring Fling '17?
[scoffs] Uh, yeah, you had a nap,
and I puked in my skating bag.
- Oh yeah. Ew. - [Jacob] Yeah.
It took me months to get the smell out. [chuckles]
Good times.
Yeah, great times.
And I guess I never thought that we'd ever have that again.
I wish I wasn't so nervous.
Yeah, well,
[running footsteps]
at least you're doing better than him. Oh. Oh.
[bangs]
When the Orcas see us overloading on this side of the zone,
they'll expect us to swing the puck to Mac for his one-timer.
- But Mac... - [door opens]
...will fake this shot
and pass to Bear in the high slot for a one-timer of his own.
Never see it coming.
[somber music playing]
[laughs]
[coins clinking]
- Hi. - Hey.
Thanks.
- [Jacob] Hey. Good luck at the game today. - Yep.
[exhales deeply]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
Nothing?
- I'm not in the mood, Kayla. - [Kayla] Come on. It says Mac'gician.
What's wrong?
- I... I messed up. - [Kayla] Okay.
Like bad.
Like letting a raccoon in the house bad or...
[sighs]
All the Hammers will know soon enough. What's one more?
- What are you talking about? - [sighs]
I kept a notebook.
I drew up all the diagrams of Hammarström's game plans.
Carson found the book.
Whoa.
Yeah. "Whoa."
So, they know all of your secrets?
[scoffs] Pretty much.
Yeah.
[sighs]
It's gonna go so wrong, Kay,
and it's all my fault.
Hey, you know as well as I do, tactics don't mean everything.
You guys are gonna play harder, and you're gonna be better.
You know what?
Hammarström could have picked any one of their players
to be in his Academy, but he didn't.
He chose your teammates, and he chose you
because he knows how special you are.
Nothing's gonna go wrong, Mac.
And it's 'cause Hammarström,
he got it right.
- [chuckles softly] - [inspirational music playing]
[sighs deeply] Yeah. You're something else.
[Kayla] Mm.
Yeah.
K,
I know I said some things about you and Jacob.
You know, about it being peewee stuff,
but I just want you to know I don't think that.
I know you gave up a lot for me to be here,
and I'll never not remember it.
Mac!
Yeah?
Big day, MacBentley. Go own it.
- Sky, we gotta go right now. - I'm sort of busy right now.
- It's... It's an emergency. - Sorry, just a sec.
Mum!
This better be good.
[Kayla] So then, you just go...
[clicks]
[clicks tongue]
This is your emergency?
I'm sorry. I... I just... I want everything to be perfect.
I know. I do too.
Yeah, right.
- What's that meant to mean? - Nothing.
Okay.
It's just, yesterday, you were so sure that Jacob wanted to skate with Maia.
And then now, today, you're being funny about the music.
I've literally just said...
It's not gonna change anything. You know that, right?
Like, if Jacob stays, we're still gonna be friends.
You think I'm jealous?
Well... [scoffs]
...then tell me what it is.
You're not listening.
I don't have to listen to this.
Uh...
Fine.
If you can't be a supportive friend, then I don't want you here.
[sighs]
[exhales] Um...
Bingo.
[upbeat music playing]
[Archie] Hmm.
Okay. Um.
What sort of button?
Normal button, Archie. You press it, and music comes out.
And... And you want me to...
Press it. Yeah.
Okay.
What's in it for me, then?
You get to feel good helping out a friend?
[laughs]
No.
Fine. I'll teach you how to lift someone and not drop them.
- How about that? - I'm not sure that's possible.
Nothing is impossible.
Trust me. It's that sort of day.
Hm.
Sky, where have you been? I need... What's wrong?
Nothing.
Are you not feeling well? Do you need to go home?
Actually, yeah. Can I?
Oh, um.
Absolutely. Course you can.
Thanks.
Sky, I know you want nothing more than to be here,
but I'm glad you're putting your health first.
Feel better, okay?
- Love you. - Love you, Mum.
You know, after tonight, everything's gonna change.
I know.
[both mimic explosion, laugh]
So do we do another one to celebrate the...
- Ugh, so close to not ruining it. - [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[Luke] Babe!
Hey!
- Oh, there's Jacob's parents. - Oh yeah.
Hey!
We should go for dinner after the game.
- Make sure Kayla says a proper goodbye. - Yeah.
Then we can move ahead with the next chapter,
which is gonna start with Mac's win tonight,
cereal or no cereal.
Okay, well...
[clears throat]
[sighs]
[kissing]
- That's my pregame ritual. - Yeah.
[chuckles]
Hey, guys.
- [woman] Anton! - [Anton] Hey!
[man 1] Anton!
[man 2] Look, there he is.
Can you sign this?
- Can I get your autograph? - Of course. What's your name?
Yeah, it's gonna be a great game. Yeah.
What's your name?
Hello.
How much for that?
Forty quid.
What can I get for
three pounds?
Oh.
What do you want?
Um, she wanted the...
[Anton] Oh, 97...
which happens to be the number of games I've played for Sweden.
You played 103.
So I did.
How about that?
You quite sure you want this, Ava?
An expensive purchase for someone not really into hockey.
I told you I love hockey.
Clearly.
Go on.
Put it on. It's not gonna wear itself.
[chuckles]
[Anton] Nice.
- Real Hammarström. - [Ava chuckles]
Come, you'll sit on the bench with me tonight.
Thank you.
- Hi, darling. - Hi.
Hey, you don't need to be nervous.
Mac's gonna be fine.
- Mm-hm. Yeah. - Okay?
[announcer] Five minutes to game time!
Give it up for the Hammers!
[audience cheering]
[Anton] You hear that?
That is the sound before you even hit the ice.
That is the sound of expectation.
So imagine when you win.
That roar, that reverberation.
So loud, the walls shake, the ice cracks,
your ears ring for days.
There's nothing in the world like it!
And tonight, it will be yours
because you are going to do what?
- [team] Win! - You are going to do what?
- Win! - You are going to do what?
Win! Win! Win! Win! Win!
Win! Win! Win!
- [bangs] - [pants]
Just do your best.
'Cause your best is your best, right?
Come on. You're the Mac-gician.
[suspenseful music playing]
[humming]
Um...
Oh. Oh, sorry. My friend's sitting here.
- Wait, you're gonna what? - I'm sorry, okay?
She wants to humiliate me again?
After everything?
Because, of course, she's gonna tell me that everything's gonna be fine.
All the meanwhile, she's... she's planning this?
Okay, so maybe... maybe we don't do the showcase today...
we... I...
[clatters]
[exhales deeply]
Okay, um, we won't.
We won't do it, obviously.
No question.
[sighs]
Get out.
[booms]
[upbeat music playing]
[Bear] Who are we?
- Hammers! - Who are we?
Let's go!
Oh, good to see you. We're about to play hockey. Wanna join?
- Nico. - No, no, no, no, no. Don't "Nico" me.
Not when I'm saying what we're all thinking.
You think you're so much better than us. You know what?
Hammarström picked each and every player here.
We're all just as good as you. You couldn't win a game without us.
And we can't win a single game without him.
Why don't you get back in your box, Nico, or better still, protect mine?
Okay.
So, you gonna win us this game, then?
Just do your job...
and I'll do mine.
- All right. Let's go! - Let's go, Hammers!
[enthusiastic music playing]
[cheers] Let's go, Hammers!
[audience cheering]
- Unbelievable! - Woo! [clapping]
[knocking]
When I think you can't possibly disappoint me any more.
What part of grounded was difficult to understand?
[banging]
Ava! And you're encouraging her!
Ava, come. We're going home.
Dad, please?
Anton.
Elina, Elina, look.
If Ava's grounded, she absolutely has to go.
But the game's about to start,
and any movement on the bench could distract the players.
Maybe we can just wait until first period break.
What do you say?
Come on.
Fine.
Thank you.
- Okay, see? Then we'll pass it back... - Mm-hmm.
[Luke clapping]
Hey, Stevie, wonder what they're gonna go for first.
They're gonna clear along the boards and let Mac lead the rush up center ice.
Not that it matters. Mac drew up diagrams for us.
We'll be ready for whatever tricks they pull. [chuckles]
Hey, um,
you think Sky's gonna make it out?
Hey, okay!
[laughs] Yeah. Chill out, Mac. It's just a charity game.
Which I guess you know,
seeing as you've been super generous giving us your game plan.
Oh.
You didn't know. Uh.
Your Mac-gician's kept a notebook of every trick Hammarström has.
You shouldn't have left that lying around. Should you, drama queen?
Who's to say we didn't want you to have it?
Just another of Hammarström's tricks, right?
Whatever.
We'll still beat you.
That was awesome, man. [chuckles]
I mean, I was real worried at first, but now...
We're doomed.
Come on, Hammers!
Woo!
Let's go. Come on.
- [Bear] Let's go, Hammers! - [team] Go, Hammers!
[cheering, whistling, clapping]
Get your head in the game, MacBentley!
[somber music playing]
[rap music playing]
Step up, Mac!
- Come on. - [air horn blowing]
[air horn blowing]
Guess who's two steps ahead now, bud?
Woo!
Nico, move the puck.
Hit Mac in stride.
Bear, you drop in behind for the rebound, okay?
- That's what I was doing. - Don't talk back. Just do it.
Get out there. Come on. Let's go.
Yeah.
Come on. Woo!
It's like they know what we're thinking before we do.
[dramatic music playing]
Mac, get back into position!
What the hell are you doing?
If they think they know what we're doing, we gotta give them something unexpected.
[sighs]
[exhales]
[enthusiastic music playing]
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Woo!
[cheering]
[air horn blowing]
- Mom, I'm... I'm gonna find Jacob. - Okay.
[Sky] Jacob, hey!
Sky.
Did it start early? How did it... Are they your folks?
- What did they think? - I... Just give me a minute.
- What's going... - I... I didn't do the showcase.
- What? - It wasn't right. Wasn't meant to be.
- Let me see if I can just... - No, they don't know.
I just told them I was feeling ill, that I needed to leave early.
Please don't tell them.
Kayla must be devastated.
She doesn't know, does she?
Look, I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
You...
Sky...
[mellow music playing]
[crowds cheering, clapping]
[upbeat music playing]
[Mac] Nico!
- [thuds] - [Bear] Sam!
[referee whistles]
- Sam! - [air horn blowing]
- You okay? - Yeah, yeah.
Ref?
[Mac] Hey!
Oops, my bad.
Mac, stay out of there!
[thuds]
- Go. - You sure?
[Sam] Go.
[player] Calm down.
Everyone stays here!
- Don't touch my brother again! - Or what?
This is barbaric.
[banging]
We are leaving.
No.
If you carry on like this, you're never gonna make it.
Good.
Everything you've worked for, everything you love.
Everything you love, Mama.
I love this.
I don't even know if I want to coach you anymore.
Good, because I quit.
[Luke] Hey! Bear!
Nico!
Buddy, we need to call this a day, huh? Come on.
[Anton] Ref, stop the game!
[referee whistles]
[somber music playing]
Kayla.
Oh no.
[dramatic music playing]
Three, two, one.
[laughs]
Archie!
Oh.
[clicks]
