Zero Chill (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

Mac, Mac, Mac.
Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac.
Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac.
Mac!
Listen, be weird in your own time, okay?
We've got practice.
You can skate.
Thanks.
Who's your coach?
Oh, uh,
I don't skate competitively anymore.
So, what are you skating for?
Uh
'Cause it's everything?
Oh. A triple threat. Talent and passion.
Uh, a triple is three.
And you just found your third.
Uh, that's super flattering,
but, um,
singles skating isn't really my thing.
And I actually just found
my perfect new partner, so
I tried a few pairs partnerships.
They never worked out.
- Did she just
- Uh, yeah, no biggie.
Elina was a phenomenal skater
back in the day.
She can totally take you
to the next level, Kayla.
No, no.
I I'm finally getting to skate with Sky,
and that will do just fine.
Okay.
What's not fine is my daughter
embarking on a new partnership
in her old skates.
I like them. They're worn in.
They're worn out.
Right. How about
we celebrate this properly?
Today, shopping spree, you and me.
What do you say?
It's just these, uh,
new laces.
Yeah, I don't care, dude. Yeah.
Yup.
So I am getting new skates today,
which got me thinking about costumes.
I was thinking purple,
but then Maia did the purple vibe already.
So, can't do that.
We have six hours until we skate.
Not enough time to do anything.
- You definitely wanna check your phone.
- No, I don't.
Is it a boy?
No.
Okay. And I was thinking about songs too.
So I've already made a playlist.
If you send me your songs, I can add them,
and I will meet you at 7.
Hey, it's gonna be fine.
We don't have to do
any big jumps or anything.
We can just work on spins.
All that matters is that it's you and me.
Sounds great.
I need to get going. Uh,
Mom is making me apologize
to Mr. Hammarström
for the whole ice-invasion thing.
The latest ice-invasion thing.
Oh!
And we need a handshake.
The answer's still no.
Come on, Dad.
How many top hockey players
wear figure skates?
I'm still getting over the $1,000
you cost me for the broken cross-trainer.
I'm not buying you new skates too.
All I'm saying is
I don't want to embarrass you.
Mr. Hammarström, sir!
By way of apology
for storming the ice during the game,
would you accept this coupon
for one free ice cleaning?
My specialties now include slime removal.
I'm I'm 15! I'm a little low on funds.
Seriously, though, I am sorry.
I didn't mean to stop the whole game.
I should thank you.
We were getting trashed.
Right?
I'm giving my team a second chance.
I suppose I would give you one too.
Technically, I think this is my third.
And I'm not getting a fourth.
Okay, thank you, bye.
Where's Mac?
Mac. Practice is about to start.
What are you doing?
Come on.
- You're hanging by a thread here, buddy.
- So let it break.
- Don't think you understood the metaphor.
- No, I understood.
I can't go back out there.
I'd just mess it up worse.
Mac?
There you are. Anton is looking for you.
They're waiting to start.
Mac, if you're in a rut,
the best thing to do
is go and play your way out of it.
- Trust me.
- I don't know if I want to.
What?
Is it your head injury?
If you need a few days more rest
It's not the head injury, Mom.
I just don't wanna play hockey!
They sell them at Kinsella's,
and they have my size.
Sweetheart, I've got to take Mac home.
He's having a bit of a day.
Well, can't Dad take him?
He's at practice,
and he can't up and leave like that.
Anton's gonna know
that there's something wrong.
We'll do it next weekend. How's that?
I I thought this was
to celebrate my new partnership.
It is.
We'll just celebrate it next weekend?
Sweetheart, I wouldn't do this
unless I absolutely had to, okay?
Mm-hm, yeah. It's not a big deal.
- Okay, next weekend. I promise you.
- Okay.
- Love you.
- Love you too.
I'm going into town
for some new skate guards. Wanna come?
We could have a look at skates together.
Thanks, but I'll wait for my mom.
You're such a good daughter and sister.
Uh what do you mean?
Oh.
It's so wonderful
you take so much care about your brother.
It's natural for your mother
to put his hockey first,
but it's so nice you do that too.
Hey uh.
Wait up.
Okay, we can do two sandwiches,
one slushy.
- Mm.
- Or one sandwich, two slushies.
Or
Dad!
Twice in one week.
What are you doing here?
Must be pretty important.
It is important.
I wanted to take you both
for a proper day out.
Arcades, burgers, bowling.
And I need to try these famous slushies
you keep talking about.
We haven't spoken in two years, Dad.
So, not sure when I mentioned them.
Must be world-famous, then.
If I get three,
will you help me drink them?
I'll get them.
Never thought I'd see him in the flesh.
When we were together,
the most contact you had with him
was a voucher for all-you-can-eat sushi.
I don't remember you complaining.
- Nearly put that place out of business.
- I made you fill your bag.
Now he shows up,
just like that.
- Like it's nothing.
- Just so long as he sticks around.
'Cause if he doesn't,
I'll track him down and force-feed him
what's under the slushy machine.
Thanks, Sky.
Three blue?
Three blue.
On the house.
Oh wow.
These are new in from Italy.
There's no way my parents' budget
would stretch to those.
Try them for fun.
They don't have to know
you're not gonna buy them.
Oh!
Ava!
Kayla?
Ava!
Mama?
- Anton.
- Elina.
So, you like those?
I love them.
Then let's get 'em and go.
But wait, Dad.
They are the first pair I've tried on.
Dad!
Come, Kayla. We have lots more to try.
Oh, no, no. It's fine, um
- I'm buying them for you.
- No, Elina. I can't let you do that.
A top skater
deserves a top pair of skates.
And you are a top, top skater.
Hey. Got away as soon as I could.
Knocking doesn't count
if you don't wait for an answer.
You want me to come back?
Do me a favor.
Take a look at the back of your left hand.
What?
Just do it.
Oh my God. Are those Are those fingers?
The scar,
just below your middle knuckle.
Remember how you got it?
It's always been there.
Not always.
You fell off the monkey bars
when you were five.
Man, you were fearless.
You crossed those things in a flash,
and then one day, you fell off.
Remember what happened next?
I never got back on them?
Oh, I get this.
And if I did, I'd have been Tarzan.
Or whatever
the hockey equivalent of Tarzan is.
No.
You got right back up there.
The thing is,
you were trying so hard to do it
that you forgot how to.
Eventually, you turned around,
and you said
"I hate the monkey bars."
But you see, I never believed that.
I just think you got so in your head
that you forgot you loved 'em.
But by then, you'd stopped
crossing the monkey bars altogether.
Or whatever the hockey equivalent
of monkey bars is.
But
what if I never score again?
We'll put you in goal.
Look, form is temporary.
Class, now that's forever.
And you, son,
you are pure ice-cold class.
That's why everything
is gonna be all right.
You really think so?
Oh, I know so.
You're young. You're fit.
You got good grades.
- You don't need good grades for hockey.
- Yeah, but if you can't.
Right.
Hey, you're the one
who's talking about quitting.
- What were you expecting to do?
- That's not all right. That's failure.
Mac. Look, if you don't make it,
nobody's gonna think you're a failure.
Why? Come on. That's what you are!
Look, I'm not the one who needs a hug.
Well, you're getting one anyway.
What are you doing?
Oh, uh.
I just wanted to have a look.
One pair of hockey skates,
and you think you own the place.
- It's called the Hammarström Arena, not
- But I am a Hammarström.
Then I suppose this belongs to you.
But
But it's your first professional stick.
I was going to give it to Mac.
Try and inspire him a little.
Maybe it will inspire you instead.
You should've seen my dad's face.
Why would I say that?
You were upset.
Upset people say things.
Your dad knows that.
More importantly, he knows you.
Not even sure I know me anymore.
Do you actually want to quit?
What would you have
to impress the girls with?
I just wanna not feel like this.
I just need to go for a walk.
Hey, Kayla, its it's me. Um
I'm so sorry. Can we reschedule our skate?
It's my, um
I'm actually not feeling so good.
Okay, I'll see you soon, bye.
Okay. Plan!
I'll go in goal, and you take shots.
If you can't score against me,
then you're probably cursed,
which is a much bigger problem.
Thanks, but the last figure skater
who went in goal
blocked all of my shots,
and I ended up going to the hospital, so
I think I am cursed.
See? Knew it.
You'll have to find a new sport.
Get your skates on.
Well, are you talking literally
or metaphorically?
Both.
- Go.
- Oh.
I'm so sorry.
Can we reschedule our skate?
Oh, what?
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah. Um, just,
Sky had to cancel our first skate.
I'm sorry, love.
I know how excited you were about that.
Something tells me not even
the rink melting will keep you two apart,
so you'll get your skate.
Thanks, Mom.
Hey. What's in the bag, kid?
Uh A box. Yeah, it's a box.
A box containing what?
What's in the box, Kayla?
So, before you say anything, it's just
How did you pay for those?
Uh, Elina bought them for me.
And you let her?
She wouldn't have had to
if you'd taken me.
Kayla, I told you
Mac is really having a day.
What about our day?
You and me, like you said?
- You're taking them back.
- What? Mom, no!
- Can't accept those, Kayla.
- I'm sorry, love.
But that is final.
You know these are hockey skates?
If I can do a double axel in full padding,
you can do some simple spins
in hockey skates.
Please, I got a few ice moves.
Skating really fast in a straight line
isn't the move you think it is.
Nah, I got a party trick.
Oh, you do?
Look at you. You think you're so smooth.
Your mystery party trick
might work on girls in Canada,
but if you think
for one second it's gonna
Okay, that was actually pretty smooth.
So, spins?
Yeah.
Spins.
- I didn't fall this time.
- No, you did.
Hello?
I need to give the skates back.
What?
Why?
My mom won't let me keep them.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I understand.
- Ready?
- Come on.
Why don't you come
and meet me at the rink?
Okay, see you there.
Um
You know
So when we
On the playground
Look, if this isn't a thing,
then that's cool.
I
And you're laughing.
It's definitely a thing.
Oh, well, good.
I mean, cool.
I mean
You know what I mean.
You're the best thing
that's happened since I got here.
And you
are second best?
- Oh.
- Right after your sister?
- Have you told her?
- Oh my God.
The ego.
Believe it or not, we don't
actually talk about you, MacBentley.
Right.
But I'm going to.
Whatever this is,
she was my partner first.
Yeah.
Anyway, we should get off the ice.
The Hammers will be here soon.
Are you kidding me? Come on.
I gotta show off my spins.
I heard sirens in my head ♪
From the first time that we met ♪
I could've won
if you hadn't hogged all the good balls.
No, Dad, you could've won
if you were better.
You don't need to walk us in.
We're not ten. You missed that bit.
I can't do anything about the past.
But I'm here now, if you want me,
and for as long as you want me.
I've got a lot of making up to do.
- Same time next week?
- Definitely.
- Thanks for an awesome day, Dad.
- Thank you for an awesome day.
No, it's not a false alarm ♪
- See you next week.
- All right.
And hey, next time, no mercy.
I am pulling out the moves!
Don't do that.
But here we are ♪
I never get my hopes up ♪
'Cause then I'll never get ♪
Hey!
Who's that?
That's
That's my dad.
I didn't notice until now ♪
I heard sirens ♪
Twenty-one, 22, 23
Hey! I can't count that fast.
Thought it was a false alarm ♪
Yeah, we started as a spark ♪
Didn't think we'd come this far ♪
But here we are, oh ♪
Kayla.
Hey.
- What?
- You know.
Uh, no. I don't think I do.
Oh, is this about you and Sky?
Come on, man. That was ages ago!
I was going to tell you, but I wanted
I didn't know what me and Mac were.
I thought we were gonna skate together,
but you wanted to skate with my brother.
I'm such an idiot.
No, Kayla, you're not.
You ditched me then lied about it.
He was in a really bad place.
I wanted to help him.
- Thought you were excited to be partners.
- I am.
You're like all the other girls back home.
Using me to get close to Mac.
People did that?
Come on, Sky. You don't have to pretend
to be my friend anymore.
Kayla, that's not true
Kayla!
On a team, the unwritten rules
are as important as the ones on the rink!
I know.
I don't think you do.
That's not the first one you've broken.
Is it, Mac?
Dude, can we not do this here, please?
What did he do?
No, nothing.
Bear, come on.
You know why the Orcas
smashed us the other night?
Because Mac wrote down
Hammarström's game plan in a notebook
and handed it right over
to his buddy Carson.
- You did what?
- No! Okay, look, I don't know how
How's that for a teammate?
Elina!
You okay?
I'm in.
You're sure?
Because you won't be able
to train with Sky as well.
- It's a full commitment.
- I don't wanna train with anyone.
I'm going solo.
