Head Rush

Sky?
Can you hear me? It's Mum.
She's awake.
Sky?
Mum.
Hi.
How you feeling?
Like an ice rink hit me on the head.
- I'm kidding.
- Any double vision? Headaches?
Nope.
Nothing.
- When can we get out of here?
- They have to run some more tests.
- But, Mum
- We have to be sure.
You must be starving. I'll get you
something from the vending machine.
Anything you want.
D7.
It's the code
for those little fruit and nut biscuits.
D7. Remember?
Of course I remember.
You knew Sky shouldn't have been skating.
- I didn't make her.
- You didn't stop her.
This is on you.
It's like you and Jacob only matter.
Who cares if anybody else gets hurt?
How do you know about Jacob?
I found out about your plan.
Made him see sense.
You made him leave?
Really?
Come on, Sky is seriously injured,
and you wanna talk about Jacob?
So this is on both of us.
Hospital express leaves in five.
Oh, no. Anton wants you at the rink.
What? But
You can see Sky later, okay?
No words.
Your attitude,
your performance
I had to beg the Orcas for forgiveness
yesterday, and I don't beg.
So today, you prove to me
why you wanna be a Hammer.
Otherwise,
you are
finished!
Hey, hey, ice is thataway.
Come on. I know the timing sucks,
but I gotta see Sky.
Sky's gonna be okay, all right?
But your hockey career
might not be so lucky, huh?
Come on.
Okay.
I want to play hockey.
No.
- I'm good.
- Still no.
I'm your daughter.
And I don't do favors.
Go home, Ava.
Take your hockey equipment with you.
That's not equipment. That's my stuff.
I'm moving in.
I should've brought something.
Well, you brought you.
Come on! Come on!
Oh, for goodness' sake. Really?
Come on!
Thanks.
- Are these for Sky?
- Yes, but
- Can I Can I give them to her?
- She's sleeping now.
How's she gonna eat the cookies, then?
Kayla.
Uh
Can I stay until she wakes up?
- I think Sky
- I think you've done enough.
Uh
- You were gone ages.
- Just talking to the nurse.
Cookie me.
Lovely room, isn't it?
Thanks to Anton. Bit of peace and quiet.
Can I have my phone?
I need to tell people I'm okay.
Mum?
You left it at the rink.
Looking at the ceiling it is, then.
Holly didn't mean that. She's just scared.
You know, she's lashing out.
She'll be fine. Sky's definitely fine.
And you,
you are brilliant.
Okay?
So try again tomorrow,
and she'll come around. You'll see.
- I love you.
- Love you.
See you later.
Pick it up, MacBentley.
He's like a different player.
One bad game can knock your confidence.
You know what it's like.
All right, maybe you don't.
Water break!
Thirty seconds!
Go!
Hey, you've got to stop
beating yourself up about the game.
We lost, but it's over.
People are watching him. Scouts, managers.
One wrong move,
they'll start watching the next kid.
He just needs to put a couple
in the back of the net, and he'll be back.
You're up.
I am?
I want you in goal.
Yes.
You let one puck in, and you're off.
Got it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's three minutes past ten.
Three little minutes.
Come on. You can let me in.
This is a conspiracy.
Morning.
Hi there.
Keep those shoes clean, sir.
Stop!
We need a cleaner.
In the children's ward. Emergency.
Now.
Oh, you think I'm a cleaner,
uh,
which I am.
Are you sure you don't need a ghostbuster?
Just get in there!
Okay.
Get her!
Sam!
You're off.
Off my line?
- Off-balance?
- Off the ice.
You're replacing me with Ava?
Right. Yeah.
Whatever you say, coach.
Sorry.
Sam.
- What's wrong?
- Benched.
He benched the goalie?
That's maverick, even for him.
Ava's goalie now.
Ava?
He's challenging you. It's a test.
He wants to see how you react.
Big clue, not like this.
- We knew this was coming.
- What?
I'm a charity case, right?
- He wants you on this team.
- He wants you on this team.
- I'm just part of the package.
- I'll speak to him.
- I don't want you fighting my battles.
- How about your captain?
Well, I guess that's all right.
Enjoy, huh.
- Come on.
- On it.
Free hits at goal.
Free hits?
Okay.
- What's Ava doing here?
- Lineup change.
This is gonna be fun.
I saved it.
You need vinegar.
Right, like I'm gonna trust the kid
who made their own slime out of glue and
What even was this?
Mint sauce, jelly,
and a super-secret ingredient.
Not gonna ask.
That's for the best.
Couldn't you have found
something less messy to do?
This place is loaded.
You've got TV, consoles, books, games
I know.
They're always bringing us stuff.
It makes them feel better.
They say they want us back home,
but they don't really.
They want us here, where it's safe,
and there's medicine, and doctors,
and where bad things can't happen.
Oh.
My friends used to come
until Mum scared 'em off.
She just wants what's best for you.
This is what's best for me.
Slime?
It makes me feel human.
Really?
Because it makes you look like an alien.
Ew!
Get her!
Slime her!
Yes!
You could have got me fired.
I mean, at the very least,
you could've actually done some cleaning.
This is "Take Your Kids
to Work Day" all over again.
Okay, no, it is not that bad.
You traumatized the entire canteen staff.
We had to give Martin compassionate leave.
I didn't know that
that barrel of beans was open.
Look, what if one of the kids
had slipped and got hurt?
I just wanted them to have some fun,
and they're stronger than they look, Mom.
That is not for you to decide.
Look, I'm sorry, Kayla, okay?
If Holly doesn't want you visiting Sky,
there's nothing you can do about that.
Just give her some space.
Oh, and Kayla
Huh?
Use vinegar.
No.
Go again.
What is going on?
Again!
Coach, he's gotten good at missing.
I don't think he needs more practice.
Well, I guess
I just need a different target.
Mac!
Nope, that didn't help.
Guys, please.
Look, do you wanna miss an open goal?
Make it a hat trick.
- Yesterday wasn't Mac's fault.
- Whose was it?
Mac!
- Mac, are you okay, buddy?
- Can you get up?
Should he go to the hospital?
Hey, look at me.
How many fingers?
Six?
Mom?
Okay. Hospital. Let's go.
Get him up.
Come on.
Okay. Come on.
Get off the ice.
But But I was great.
You let one in.
Hey, hey, what happened?
- I got into a fight with a puck.
- He's fine.
Sky!
Are you okay? What happened?
Yeah, I kinda
took my helmet off on the ice.
- Ouch.
- Yeah.
Hey, I mean,
maybe we'll have matching lumps, right?
Maybe.
Nah, it's just your massive ego.
Yeah.
- Hey, coach.
- Be quick.
Right. I just
Are you gonna swap Sam out for Ava?
I'll do what is best for the team. Always.
So, you're just gonna drop him?
'Cause I've gotta say that sucks.
Sucks.
He loves the Hammers.
And he's good. He's not some charity case.
He's lucky to have his brother
looking out for him.
A little competition will be good for Sam.
Mac has done wonders for you.
You mean
Still on the team.
You didn't say no.
I didn't say yes.
What do you have in here? A pony?
Maybe.
Well, let's hope you packed
a change of hockey gear.
But you said
I said, no more training today.
I'm on the team?
Training team.
You will take one goal.
Sam will take the other.
One wrong move, and you're off. Got it?
Oh. Er.
We will work on that.
If you squint really hard,
it could be lasagna.
Kind of have to squint with your mouth.
I'm sorry.
- You didn't make it.
- No, it's my fault you're in here.
I knew I felt a push on my back.
- You're jealous of my double axel.
- I made Jacob leave.
I found out about the skate,
and I got angry.
And he ran.
You know, I'm sorry. I can
I can go find another ward.
Did you physically push Jacob
into the taxi?
Did you force him not to talk to Kayla?
Well, no.
Jacob's a coward.
- You gave him a tiny push, and he ran.
- Yeah, but you got hurt.
Which is the best thing
that could have happened.
Okay.
Not exactly the reaction I was expecting.
Everyone's so scared for me,
of me.
This will show 'em
I can take a few knocks.
If they ever let me out of here.
I thought Kayla would come.
Guess I scared her off too.
She did come. Like, first thing.
This morning?
Yeah. I think your brain's
a little more scrambled than you thought.
She didn't come in.
I need to call her.
What?
Mum told me it was at the rink.
I am so sick
of everyone wrapping me in cotton wool.
I know she means well,
but I just want my life back.
Kayla.
I tried to get tissues
out of the vending machine,
but I pressed the wrong button, so
Oh.
Thanks.
I want you to know there wasn't a plan.
I mean, Jacob was supposed to skate,
but, um, he let me down.
And Sky, uh
is Sky.
And I know I should've stopped her,
and it was terrible
It was wonderful.
I don't think anyone could've stopped her.
She needs to skate.
I'm gonna tell you a secret.
Something that every parent knows.
When you have a child,
you make two promises.
To always, always keep them safe.
And to always,
always want the best for them.
And we would rather die
than break those promises.
But the truth is, keeping one
always means breaking the other.
But that's for us to worry about, not you.
So, yeah,
Sky can skate.
So, can I go see her?
- Of course.
- Yes!
Sky!
- Faster.
- Okay, you asked for it.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, too fast, too fast.
Okay.
Head rush.
You want me to get you some cotton wool?
Wrap you up for a bit?
Okay, maybe it's best
if I sit down for a bit.
Yeah, probably. That's all right.
I think we're wedged.
I used to love the roundabout
when I was little.
What? We're talking about
last year, aren't we?
Yeah, maybe.
I used to love a lot of things.
Movies, skateboarding,
even drawing.
Yeah.
Now it's just hockey.
And I can't play at the moment.
Nothing's working.
But I can't lie to myself
and say that
it's 'cause I'm worried about you,
or
'cause I messed up,
or 'cause everyone's counting on me.
I think the truth is,
whenever things are going well,
there's just this feeling
that any second, they could go wrong.
I just
I hate it.
Ew!
Gross!
Get them!
Oh! Agh!
Sam!
- Well?
- You're still on the team.
Yes!
Bear.
Coach said
you had to do my washing for a week.
He was very insistent.
Thanks, bro.
I've always got your back.
You know that, right?
- It's always gonna be you and me.
- Dad!
My boys.
Oh!
Retreat!
I think we lost them.
Is that my concussion,
or can you taste mint sauce?
Are you okay?
Are you allergic to mint sauce?
That was the most fun I've had in a while.
Okay. I'd hate to see your face
when you're not having fun.
It's just that playing hockey,
it doesn't make me happy anymore.
I don't think it has for a while.
Mac,
what are you saying?
I think
I think I should quit.
