Zero Chill (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

Ice Breaker

Come on.
Okay, what's the plan?
- I hide you till I think of one.
- You didn't think of anything else?
Mom's coming. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Kayla!
Kayla.
Hey. How about
I make my famous ribs tonight?
Uh, no, Dad, I'm a vegetarian.
What? Since when?
Since I realized that
we are killing animals for our pleasure,
and it's killing the planet or something.
Oh, okay. Your mom and I
have always supported your choices,
so if you're serious about it, then
Yeah, you know what?
What was I thinking?
Your ribs are delicious.
Can we have burgers too?
Oh, hey, honey.
No! no, no, no.
Hey. How was the game?
I think you're gonna need
to bake some more banana bread.
What?
Okay, all right.
Oh no, Mom, I'll do the laundry.
- What?
- Yeah, no. I have my own to do.
Since when have you ever done your own
washing?
Kayla, what's going on?
Ow!
Oh.
Uh, uh, found it.
Jacob?
What on Earth?
- What are you doing?
- Jacob!
Hey.
Hi, sweetheart.
It's really nice to see you,
but what are you doing under our table?
Those ribs were pretty delicious.
Anything tastes good
drowned in barbecue sauce.
After your behavior today,
you don't get to critique dinner.
Anyway, what else did Anton say?
That if I pull a stunt like that again,
I'll be on the first flight home.
Are you feeling ready for the Orcas?
Let's just say
I'm glad it's a charity game.
Charity game or not,
this is the perfect chance
for you to make things right with Anton.
Plus, there's gonna be some press there.
Maybe even a scout or two.
I told you it would be cool.
I think they're gonna be less cool
when they find out I'm not here for ribs.
No. They know how much
skating together means to us.
If we can get them onside,
they can help convince your parents.
Okay. You've got three nights.
Yay!
Bob and Shelly are gonna come
pick you up themselves.
Wait, my parents are coming to the UK?
To seal the deal with your new partner.
What's her name, Maia?
They're gonna come
watch Mac's charity game too.
Can you come to the rink tomorrow?
We've something to show you.
Sure.
Okay, you ready?
Can I tell you something
Just between you ♪
Guys! It's not happening.
But, Mom, you didn't even know
what we were gonna
Come on, Kayla.
You two wanna skate together again.
- What's wrong with that?
- I don't wanna skate with Maia.
Couldn't you talk to Jacob's parents?
- Jenny.
- I'm sorry, Kayla.
Shelly and Bob, they felt they feel
you don't see things the way that they do,
and they wanted
to find Jacob a partner that did.
I was gonna tell you, okay?
And then Mac, he got his offer.
We were moving anyway,
and I just thought, what is the point?
At least I can save you that heartache.
They said I wasn't driven enough?
They're all about medals.
That's not you.
So, that's it, then?
We can move our lives
across the world for Mac,
but I can't skate with my best friend?
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
You have to let this one go.
So, this is the Orcas?
- Why didn't we think of that?
- Dressing like an off-duty boy band?
Doesn't mean they can play.
Oh no.
- Do you know him?
- We played on the same team back home.
He must've transferred too.
Decent player?
No, not
Not really.
Welcome, Orcas.
We're all delighted you're here.
The game tomorrow is for charity,
but that doesn't mean we take it easy.
- Tonight there will be an icebreaker.
- A party!
Not a party.
Swap the flags,
take the photos, that is all.
And you're not going.
- Mom.
- Skates on.
On the ice.
Carson! Hi, come with me.
Mac!
Mac, I have the biggest surprise for you.
So, your old friend Carson
is gonna stay with us.
Mom, we are not friends.
Of course you are, love.
You were teammates.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Right, Mac Attack?
Yeah.
So, I take it
we're not letting this go?
We'll reboot something
from our repertoire.
Add some new moves, and
Sky could help.
I just don't understand
where this performance for my parents
is gonna be happening.
They're literally coming
to the game, and that's it.
So we skate at the game.
First-period break. Surprise!
It's a pretty driven thing to do,
wouldn't you say?
Kayla MacBentley.
We've got work to do.
You in?
Whoa. Easy on the hinges there, buddy.
Bro, hope you don't talk in your sleep.
I'd hate for you
to give away your game plan.
Hey, Mr. Mac.
'Sup?
You're kidding, right?
You know Hammarström
has us all sworn to secrecy.
The guy doesn't write
anything down on paper.
There's no way you'll see
what we have in store for you.
He's a genius.
Shame about his players.
I'll show you to your room?
My room!
Do you wanna take
That bad, huh?
Look, imagine your mortal enemy.
Now imagine your mother
moving him into your house.
- But you used to be friends, right?
- When I was five!
I also had an imaginary friend
named Tony Potato.
No, no. I'm pretty sure
that was a real potato.
I gotta clear my head.
All right.
Hey, bro, where you going?
I need the full tour.
Wait up!
Hell down, heaven now
Living in the same town ♪
Three, two, one, go.
If we're this good on grass,
imagine how epic
we're gonna be on the ice.
Thanks to Sky's choreography.
I told you she was awesome, right?
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
It's fine.
Uh, just give me a second.
Look, are you done looking around soon?
I mean, I got a one-on-one
with Hammarström later, so
Sorry, with
Hammarström.
Who?
Hammarström.
Yeah.
Just wanted to give you a chance
to name-drop him three times.
It looks like this park might have
something going for it after all.
Um,
I don't believe we've met. I'm Carson.
Sky.
- You gonna be at the icebreaker tonight?
- I'm working, so, yeah.
Sweet. It's a date.
Ha. It's not a date. I
I mean, everyone's gonna be there.
Ah, so could I get your phone number?
Yeah, we're gonna get going.
Ah.
We'll sees you after. Icebreaker.
- Bye.
- Bye.
You promised the world
And I fell for it ♪
I put you first and you adored it ♪
Set fires to my forest ♪
And you let it burn ♪
Sang off-key in my chorus ♪
'Cause it wasn't yours ♪
It's my ice time!
It's my ice rink. We have a game tomorrow.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know
that game was all that important
since you're throwing a party
the night before.
I could come
to keep an eye on the Hammers,
make sure they stay out of trouble.
A thousand dollars.
What?
I sent your father the bill
for the broken cross-trainer.
So you're definitely not going.
These are the strategies
we are working on today.
Take a good long look.
Practice them, memorize them,
go home and dream about them.
But this is the last time
I wanna see them written down.
I don't want anyone outside of this room
to know what we're planning.
- Is that clear?
- Yes, coach!
I'm so happy you're helping us with this.
It's almost as good
as having you on the ice.
Are you sure
you wanna go through with the plan?
Storming the ice?
Skating with Jacob?
You're definitely sure
he doesn't wanna skate with Maia?
Yes.
Well, do you think
he wants to skate with Maia?
He didn't even tell you
he was coming to the UK.
And I saw him get a message earlier
and, I don't know.
He seemed
distracted.
I just don't wanna see you
get let down, that's all.
Hey, Jacob!
Kayla.
Hey, J, is anything bothering you?
Uh.
No.
Well, I noticed you got a message earlier,
and you seem kind of off.
I I didn't wanna say anything, but
it's my mom.
She's mad about my phone bills.
It's all my epic calls to you.
Maybe it's bargaining power.
If she lets me skate with you,
then my bills will go down.
I'll get back to you.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I know you'd be more nervous about
this kind of thing than me.
How do you mean?
Well, I know that your mom
makes you feel like
Afraid?
You don't have to be afraid
for me too, okay?
Come on.
Hit it.
- Ha-ha!
- Works every time.
I was starting to think
that vending machines were evolving.
Oh, sorry.
My mum won't go home,
so I'm hiding out here
until the icebreaker.
Only four hours to go.
Oh, so you're not allowed
to go to the party?
I'm not allowed to go to the anything.
If I break one more rule,
she will ban me
from even watching a hockey game.
Never mind playing one.
Oh, so you're into hockey?
Well, did you ever think of trying out?
I mean, come on. Your dad's the coach.
He's more of a dad to his team.
The last time he hugged me
was seven years ago.
And that was only because Sweden won gold.
I saw you drawing the game plan.
Risky.
Can I see?
Ah. Well, that wouldn't be
very secretive, would it?
Yeah.
Hey, you wanna go
to this icebreaker or what?
Okay, come on.
Are you sure this is going to work?
Yeah, yeah. It'll be fine.
Just as long as your mom
doesn't have X-ray vision.
Nope, just a laser stare.
Hammy.
There you go.
This is awesome.
- Thanks, Mac.
- No worries.
We're basically teammates.
Hammy.
You're all set for the charity game
warm-up tomorrow night?
Nothing elaborate,
just something to get the crowds going.
That's funny.
Ah, you're an asset to this team.
Nice!
Hey.
You okay?
He likes Hammy more than he likes me.
Welcome, everyone.
Hello?
Is this on?
Hello!
Sorry.
Lots of pockets.
- I have another pound somewhere.
- Don't worry about it.
The Hammarström Foundation
is the charity I started for injured pros.
Start taking pictures.
He had me working all day for this?
So please dig deep.
We don't need music. Now mingle.
I've seen livelier funerals.
Sky.
- What are the blue ones like?
- Raspberry? My favorite.
I'll take two.
Oh, where the vibes at?
Yeah, there's not even anyone on the ice.
We'll see about that.
Is this a party or what?
Calling all the wild ones out tonight ♪
This is not a party!
Sorry, Mr. Hammarström. To break the ice,
sometimes you've gotta break the rules.
Woo!
It actually worked.
Hey!
Didn't think you were gonna show.
Every second counts with your rehearsal.
Skating with Jacob is one thing,
but if you think
I'll miss you putting
a big-headed Canadian in his place,
you've got another thing coming.
You talking about Mac or Carson?
This is what we live for ♪
Shake the dance floor, shake, shake ♪
I just spoke to Anders Roy from the Orcas.
- Anders Roy.
- Yeah?
Mm!
Thank you.
Have fun.
Hi.
Great moves. You must be a skater, right?
Used to be. Now I'm a professional waiter.
Everyone's here to be set free ♪
Underneath the spell of the melody ♪
So I told the guy.
I told him, "Bro, if hockey was that easy,
they'd call it football!"
Take him by the hand and sing it loud ♪
Then you tell him
Your heart is here and now ♪
It's going down ♪
I can't believe this is where
it goes down tomorrow.
Nervous?
Uh, about the fact
that we're under-rehearsed, uninvited,
and we'll be in front of
who knows how many hockey fans?
Nah.
If you're worried, why don't we
go down there and practice?
Beats the park.
Besides, there's a party going on.
- Nobody's gonna notice what we're doing.
- Don't you have to help Sky?
She'll be fine for five minutes. Come on.
- Erm, excuse me?
- You don't have to work all night, do you?
I'm happy up here with my friends.
Pretty sure you're friends are down there.
I'm fine, okay?
Hey!
She's not interested.
When are you gonna get the message?
Mac.
Guess it's not just my goal record
you're jealous about.
I'll deal with this.
I can fight my own battles, Bear.
I did before.
I don't like seeing
my friends being harassed, all right?
- How many signs do you need?
- You like her too, right?
Worried because your last girlfriend
got herself an upgrade?
Whoa.
I said from the very start,
this is not to be a party.
Under any circumstances, no party.
Your daughter arrives and boom, party.
Anton, they're high
on testosterone and slushies.
- That's got nothing to do with Kayla.
- Anton.
Ava has missed her curfew.
Please, I have bigger problems right now.
- It's your daughter, Anton.
- And it's your curfew.
- You wanna go right now?
- We'll settle this on the ice.
Whoa. Look at that.
Hey. Excuse me.
You don't stand a chance
with Hammarström coaching us.
The guy's two steps ahead.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Come on! Tell me!
Okay. You're wrong.
Argh.
Oh!
Home.
Dad, I was just
keeping an eye on the players.
Listen to your mother. Go home.
This isn't me fighting your battles
or checking you're okay.
I just
I just want to say something.
Okay.
What?
I hadn't got that far.
Sky, wait.
I know you can fight battles.
I watched you through your treatment.
You watched from a big distance.
It was easier than losing you.
I'd already lost my mum.
My dad is who knows where.
I couldn't lose you too.
So I kept my distance.
We drifted.
It turns out I just lost you another way.
Bear, why didn't you tell me this before?
You got better.
That's all that matters.
Look, I know things can never go back
to the way they were.
But I'd like to be friends.
I'd like that too.
I'm gonna walk home.
Company?
Since when was Bear friends with Sky?
Friends?
They used to be almost married, man.
Hey, coach is looking for you.
Yeah.
I can't let you go ♪
Seems like ♪
I just can’t say no ♪
Why can’t I let you go ♪
Wait. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Did the Y-frame come now or
Ah, spiral, inside three, Y-frame.
Okay, um, my brain is fried.
Uh, maybe we need Sky down here.
Where is she?
Kayla
Oh my God. What's he done now?
- What?
- Uh.
Nothing. Uh, inside three, Y-frame.
Come on.
Let's go.
Squaring up to an opponent, trash talking
Coach, I know.
I'm sorry, but please, don't send me home.
What are you talking about? I love it.
- You do?
- Of course.
Reminds me of a young Hammarström.
Hot-headed. Impetuous.
Still with much to learn.
The spark is there.
And I expect you to explode it tomorrow.
This is your opportunity
to show the team, the press, everybody
just exactly why I brought you
halfway around the world to play for me.
And in a mascot costume.
I was trying to help a friend.
That's what friends do.
Make me proud, Mac.
- Mama, wait. I need to do something.
- Ava!
