(tense music)

(Yola) I know I can't sell the farm,
but there is nothing in dad's will

that prevents me from
renting it to Dora.

I'm afraid that's going to be
impossible.

Why?

Your father's estate.

It's subject to a land claim.

Which prevents you from
selling the property.

-But...
-Or even...

Renting it to Dora without
the applicant's consent.

Why didn't anyone tell me
those yesterday?

Yola, Frans is just trying to help.

I tried to explain yesterday,

but your sister brought
the meeting turn abrupt end.

Under Section 22,
the restitution of the...

(Yola) Our family has
lived here since 1825.

-The town is named after us.
-(Frans) And the applicant,

claims that he's clan. The Qlwashu's
are part of the San people.

The San?

(Frans) Yes the original
inhabitants of this area.

Long before the 1820 settlers
and the Groet Treck.

-How long is this going to take?
Weeks, months.
-(Frans) Years.

(Yola) But my flight is on Friday!

The courts backed up.

(scoffs) My hands are tide.

(Yola) Why you smiling?

Because I just to see you
a little bit longer.

So what's stopping us from making a
direct offer?

(Frans) I'm afraid it's highly
unlikely that he's going to accept...

(Yola) What's his name?

Mr Mbonizi, Lazarus Zita.

The local Inyanga.

When he's not propping up the bar.

(Yola) So is he claiming the whole
farm, the house, everything.

(Frans) No.

Just this area over here.

By the River.

What's so special about it?

This is the place your great, great,
great, great Gran father.

Jake, it's elder.

As rescued by her son Princess.

(Frans) And he claims
to be her direct descendant.

(chuckling)

I'm sorry, but I thought that was
just a fairy tale

to impress local tourists.

Never mind estimate other
people's beliefs.

(ominous music)

(Yola) Can I have that?

(Frans) Of course.

It's your copy.

(Max) Rudy look, I'm behind
on everything okay.

My insurances are lapsing.
Fred tied the last of my...

(Rudy) I said I'd help you and I will

-okay.
-(Max) Yes, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much. But you understand

they're coming for my tractor
tomorrow. I only had it a year.

And then next they've taking
the farm Rudy. Our farm!

Are you even listening to me?

-Jeez, what happened to your ear?
-Look, I'm busy Max.

I'm not a f***ing ATM.

Hey, you got yourself into this mess.
Now try and get yourself out.

-Okay.
-Wow. Thanks, bro.

(tense music)

Hey.

Why are you ignoring my calls?
Please call me back.

Please Sienna, we need to talk.

(ominous music)

Hi.

(birds chirping)

Did dad mention anything about
a land claim against the farm?

No.

Well, I can't sell or
leave until it's sorted.

And.

-(cellphone vibration)
-Yeah.

(cellphone vibration)

Do you want me to
answer that, for you?

No.

See now, I'm trying to fix things.

So.

So, do you know Lazarus Zita?

Yeah sure.

He also try to walk out of here one
day with one of those.

Says he doesn't wanna
pay for what came from the land.

There's no arguing with that guy,
so I let him have it.

-What is it.
-Cape snowbush.

It's a mood enhancer, antidepressant.

Does work?

Yola what works is when people take
responsibility for their lives.

Right?

Well, it his claim.

Okay, well his claim,
your land, your problem.

(birds chirping)

Offer him some money, he'll go away.

Guarantee it.

Do you think?

Ja, he's a hustler.

He's trying his luck.

-Thanks.
-(cellphone vibrating)

(tense music)

-What can I get you?
-Beer.

Looking for my friend.
Maybe you know him.

-What's his name?
-His name is Themba.

Wears the same colours.

He was a prospect of mine.

(Charlton) A what?

I was this mentor. We go way back.

-Has he been in today?
-(Charlton) I don't know.

Maybe?

Six pack.

-Take away, for later.
-No, I can't do that.

I can't sell alcohol that's not
consumed on the premises.

Come on.

Come on.

I haven't seem my friend
in a long time. Come on.

Maybe this can help.

(ominous music)

(tense music)

-Do you know where I can find him?
-No, sorry.

Hey.

Try his Aunt Lindiwe's place.

It's on the Fischer farm,
about 15 km’s out of town.

Passed 67.

Much appreciated.

(tense music)

(trolly rattling)

(Lindiwe) Clara.

(sneering)

-(Lindiwe) Clara!
-(chuckling)

-(chuckling)
-(Lindiwe) Clara swallow your pills.

(Dr. Nel) Sister, what are you doing?

(Lindiwe) Ahh, doctor I'm trying
to get her to take her pills.

Well, obviously you're
not succeeding.

She's been acting up since
the Fisher girl came around.

So get the trolly,
Ketamine 10 milligrams.

Now.

(ominous music)

So...

Who do you think

you're playing with,

little girl?

(tense music)

Hi.

(Qaqamba) Hello.

I'm looking for Lazarus Zita.

-Do you know where I can find him?
-End of the road.

You can't miss it.

Thanks

Are you Jacob's daughter?

-Yes, I'm Yolanda.
-Qaqamba.

-Sorry for your loss.
-Thank you.

Can I have a sip of your water?

(tense music)

Thanks.

Thanks.

(wind howling)

(wood creacking)

(sombre music)

(water pattering)

-(cat screeching)
-(eerie music)

Cat.

(car approaching)

(birds chirping)

(Yola) Hello.

-(knock on door)
-(door opening)

(Yola) Anyone home?

(eerie music)

-(Themba) Yolanda?
-(gasping)

Themba.

Lindiwe told you where
I was, didn't she?

Came sit, I'll make you some tea.

-Please mind all the dead animals.
-(chuckling)

Look, I'm sorry
about last night. If...

-I was too forward.
-Let's not talk about it.

So what kind of tea would you like?

-Visionary Dreams, night vision.
-(chuckling) Just normal tea please.

Ja, well that's the only kind
my Grandfather doesn't have.

Unfortunately.

-Lazarus Zita's your Gran father?
-Yass.

Here's the old man over there.

I've inherited the looks obviously.

-(Yola) Where is he?
-He's away.

(Yola) When will you be back?

I don't know.

(Yola) Well does he have
a number that I could call?

(Themba) He does.

It won't be much help.

He left his phone.

Hmm.

Sorry, let me give you a hand.

What's wrong?

Did you know who I was?

When we met.

What do you mean?

Did you know who
my dad was when we met?

Only after Bernoldus mentioned it.

Why?

(tense music)

Why did you ask me to dance?

That night at the bar.

To see if you could.

Did I need a reason?

This is about
the land claim, isn't it?

It's not about me.

You're trying to help your
Grandfather.

-What are you on about?
-You trying to

manipulate me aren't you?

Hold on blood. Like...

What do you mean I'm trying to
manipul... What the f***? Yolanda!

-Hey.
-(tense music)

(ominous music)

(Dora) What you're
saying is very hurtful.

Do you know what? Try to see
that she's the one hurting.

It is very true.

But do you know what? Go back.

And you try to ignore her. And when
she teases you again, tell me okay.

Lindiwe.

-What brings you here.
-Am.

I've got.

This for the children.

-(Dora) What is this?
-(melancholy music)

It was my daughters. Simphiwe.

It was this time of year, wasn't it?

I'm so sorry it
doesn't get any easier.

Allegra!

-Yes ma'am.
-Turn around.

(birds chirping)

Try it out.

(melancholy music)

(Dora) Do you like it?

-(car door opening/closing)
-(birds chirping)

What has she done know.

-Sorry?
-Oh, sorry ignore me.

(Dirk) I'm looking for
something to brighten up my office.

-Do you have any recommendations?
-Ja.

-Does it get a lot of sun?
-Mm, I haven't noticed.

Well, that's not very
observant for policeman.

(Dirk) Yeah well,
good thing I'm a detective.

(Sienna) Oh, I think that's worse.

Ah, you new in town?

-Maybe you should be the detective.
-(chuckling)

(Sienna) Am,
these ones are succulents.

They don't need much water,
just like, once a week at most.

-Pretty good for the drought.
-Sounds good.

(Dirk) Plants tend to die on me.

Oh, don't blame the plant.

I've got to say your
sales technique could use some work.

They don't require much,

just a little regular attention
and then they blossom.

Sounds like good advice

(water running)

(eerie music)

(sombre music)

(water dripping)

-(screaming)
-J***s Bernoldus!

-F***! What are you doing?
-You'll give me a heart attack.

I saw your ladder! (panting)

-what you doing?
-I'm working! There's a cat!

-I know it's fish.
-No, it's a cat!

No, it's my dad's cat, fish.

-Why do you call a cat, fish?
-I don't know. (breathing deeply)

-(eerie music)
-(pipes rumbling)

-Do you hear that?
-What?

It sounds like a voice.

It's a quick fix.

The leak that's from the overflow
pipe from the geyser.

Now that's seep through the attic
into the walls into the kitchen.

Bloo, frogs having a field day,
because of the brought.

-Okay, Thanks.
-Oh, and then the electrical,

upstairs in the attic.
I need to redo it.

Everything is brittle. Now that's
a little bit a... It's a big job.

But I can do it.

You're not gonna have overheads,

So you're gonna have to use the
practical lamps for the plugs.

-Okay thanks, Bernoldus.
-One more thing.

The blowhole, I'd seriously consider
doing that if I were you.

-Mm-hm.
-Mm.

(grunting)

(pipes rumbling)

(Yola) I don't have
enough cash on me.

-So can I give you the rest tomorrow?
-Yeah, no problem.

This is such a cool map.

Must be very old.

Mamlumbo's bend.

I haven't heard it called that in,
like Yonkers. This is a fine...

Who's bend?

Mamlambo.

The mermaid.

You know the area.

Well I kinda do.

She controlled this River,
seeking vengeance.

I could tell you a Story.

There was a Princess.

-Yes.
-Okay, now the Princess

she's taking bath and this stream
like is like golden hour moment.

Everything is beautiful. Late
afternoon sun sitting, and

boom your great, great, great,
whatever Grandfather.

Yeah.
There he is but, he's half dead and

delirious because of malaria.

So she rescues him, and
then she takes him too her cave.

-Over there, you see that?
-Mm.

And she nurses him back to health.

So what does he do?
He goes like,

wow, thank you for you time and you
could thank me for mine and he.

And he impregnates her.

And leaves her for
the first white woman

to come in with a
new wave of settlers.

Now, it's...

Kind of how it goes.

So what happened to her?

-Or she was ostracized by own dad.
-(melancholy music)

By people.

So the legend goes that she
miscarries into the stream.

But her tears their form this raging,

roaring, river. Transforming
this entire religion into a...

fertile wonderland.

Mamlambo.

Is the vengeful for incarnation,

of the last child.

She's coming back.

She's going to collect from everyone.

Who took from her,

abandoned her.

You're taking me to The Cave.

-What like road trip?
-(Yola) Now, come!

-It's a river, it's more like River.
-Yeah, come!

Yeah!

(cellphone vibrating)

(cellphone vibrating)

(Victor) It's very rude
to ignore my calls.

(ominous music)

Victor.

(Victor) We need to do it soon.

Psych is not known for his patients,

especially when it comes to do with
his ol'lady.

(Victor) Hey, I'm
the Sergeant at Arms.

I'm not supposed to be here having a
family flipping spliff and a chat.

If Psycho found out I was here.

He would kill me.

And I appreciate that.

My friend, don't make
me come back here.

And if I come back.

There will be no blunt smoking,
sunset, gazing bulls***.

I'm gonna give you a few days
to get the money together.

-And then, this friendship expires.
-(ominous music)

Hey.

I know you're trying to do well.

You can't run around to save people,
not f***ing SPCA.

-She needed saving my man.
-And now you do.

(Danie over radio) Rebel 11,
Rebel 11, come in over.

For f*** sakes where are you?

This is Rooi Cat 11 over

(Danie over radio) There's a fire,
towards the old Schoeman side.

-Towards Hennie's place.
-How big over.

It's growing, winds picking up
towards the Fisher farm, over.

Okay, tell ready to get to Bowser.
I'll be there ASAP, over.

(car engine starting)

(country music)

(indistinct chatter)

-He should have a license.
-(Charlton) So he doesn't go home.

He drives here, with the thing stuck
in the windscreen.

Are you kidding me?

Can I join you?

-Is you plant still alive?
-(Dirk) I haven't killed it yet.

-What are you having?
-Vodka.

(Dirk) Two please.

Hmm.

So what brings you to the centre of
the universe?

-Ha, here?
-Ja.

No one comes her voluntarily.

Hmm, let's just say I needed
a change of scenery.

(Sienna) Divorce?

Break up?

-Bankruptcy?
-All of the above.

(Sienna scoffs) Ouch.

(Dirk) I just needed
a clean slate.

I will drink to that.

(country music over speakers)

Why are you blocking me?

-Go away.
-Sienna I'm gonna leave her, I swear.

I don't want you to leave her,
I want to leave me alone now.

-So I can drink in peace.
-J***,

but you can be a real b***h
you know that.

-We need to talk.
-Don't!

Don't what yesterday
you liked it rough.

(Sienna) Rudy let me go.

(Rudy) This is none of your
business. Stay out of it.

Let's go.

-Please your...
-(Greta) Rudy?

(dramatic music)

(Dirk) Doubles.

-(car approaching)
-(dramatic music)

Danny!

-Talk to me.
-We need to put the water over there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the firemen can't Help.

Okay.
It looks like f***ing arson.

It's coming from both sides,
against the winds.

-Where's Rudy?
-I called him, his not answering.

-What? Well try again!
-I have.

(tense music)

(Bernoldus) This place should be
a World Heritage site.

And just imagine it like centuries
ago, and the River flows and

is abundance and
they hunter gatherers.

So there's game, their shelter,
water, sweet spot.

-(Yola) Do you know Lazarus Zita?
-Who does not know Lazarus?

Check this out. This is kudu.

Where does he hang out?

At the bar, mostly, (laughing) drunk.

He's got an honorary seat,
right next to your father's.

-Were they friends?
-I wouldn't call it that.

No, they were more like sparring
partners.

When last you see him.

About a month ago.

I do Saturdays. They were both there.

They were at each others throats.

-(chuckling)
-About what exactly?

but I know, Charlton ask him.

He's a barman.

He was closer to the incident.

Now this, up here.

The Princess' is cave.

Don't fall okay.

(birds chirping)

-Oops, sorry (chuckling)
-You okay?

Yes, I'm good.

-Thank you.
-Is this you house.

-No it's this...
-Okay.

This one.

Thank you, thanks
for getting me home.

(Dirk) Sure.

-This is embarrassing.
-It's not believe me.

-(chuckling)
-You know.

Ah, I went through something similar
and

I felt like such a fool I had to
leave town. So you're good.

(chuckling) It will blow over,

and next week they'll have someone
else to gossip about.

I feel exposed.

Yeah, she probably knew all along.
And she didn't even seem surprised.

-So....
-(chuckling)

That definitely makes me feel worse.
Thanks for that.

Just...

(Dirk) Call me if you need anything.

Thanks.

I'm gonna go inside and eat
everything I can find,

and turn into a bear so
no one recognizes me anymore.

-Good luck with that.
-Thanks.

Come look, just
discover it for yourself.

It's up there to your right.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

This one here, this is my favourite.

-You see this, this crack here?
-(tender music)

That represents the passage to the
other side.

Now check out this dude, right?
He's dead.

But there is the Sharman.
So what he does, is he...

He starts dancing, right?

And he keeps on dancing, he dances.

And remember their idea of time was
completely different.

And he would dance, dance and exhaust
himself and he would be sweating.

And lose all his bodily fluid until
eventually, he started literally...

Sweating blood, and then he accesses
the metaphysical world.

So he becomes a buddy, A guide,
to this guy who then goes into

a spirit world and then he
becomes one of those.

And either and Iland or Kudu.

(chuckling)
(tense music)

(birds chirping)

-Not a bad day at the office.
-(chucking)

Do.

Not at all.

Do you know

what the ultimate
philosophical question is?

(Yola) No.

Well...

What's this?

Clara, Claira.

Our kids, they come up here
all the time, they smoke dagga.

(ominous music)

(tense music)

(wheel squeaking)

Lindy?

-What?
-(ominous music)

Oh my God.

(Innocentia) Has doctor seen this?

You have to show him.

(ominous music)

(panting)

Where the hell have you been?

Huh?

We could have use your help, Rudy.

Why do you have to be
such a p***y Max?

Stop feeling sorry for yourself you
whiny c**t.

Our lands are burning

and you're out here crying and
sucking over some women.

P***y.

Rudy our people

walked thousands of miles,
through deserts,

over Thorns, losing their women,
their children, no food, no water.

I thought disease, snakes,
savages all for what, huh?

So you can sit here on your p***y
whipped pitty party,

and sulk over some s**t that doesn't
even want you anymore.

-P***y.
-(sombre music)

You know, it doesn't matter how many
times you f*** his daughter.

You'll never be half
the man Jacob was.

We need a real leader, not
some baby crying in the corner.

You know, when you do shoot yourself.

Just do it down by the River.

So your wife doesn't have to
clean up after you again.

Looser.
