Original subtitles

Help me, please! Help me! Help me!

No! No! No!

Put her down, put her down.

Don't just sit there! Go get me the towel.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God Almighty. Our God who rules the heavens and the earth.

Our God in the flesh and in spirit.

Our God who holds our ancestors in His hands.

The God of our ancestors who rest at your feet.

I call on all our ancestors.

I call on you all my elders, my ancestors.

I call on you all to gather. They have come to plead with you.

They have come to you humbly, with open hearts and open hands.

They have come to plead.

By the spirit of Mbonisi Lazarus Majola who died here tragically.

- ♪ Title: Lizalis'idinga Lakho ♪

- I think we did well. - Mmm.

- Yes, everything went as it should. - Everything went well.

- Hi, Lindiwe. - Hi.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lazarus seemed like a wonderful man.

Mbonisi.

Well, today we were celebrating his life.

Okay.

Hey, Sienna. Any news on Yola?

She, uh...

Can we-- Can we talk?

Yeah, sure.

- Just a minute, Ma. - Mm-hm.

Have you heard anything?

No.

Well, Dirk thinks she may have been abducted.

- Abducted? - Ja.

- By who? - I don't know.

He's clutching at straws.

Do you think maybe, just... just things...

just, like, things just got too much for her?

What do you mean? As in, she killed herself?

Maybe.

But they're still looking for her, right?

They're dredging the dam, as we speak.

Jesus, Sienna.

No. Everything will be okay.

- She's still alive. - Mm.

I can feel it.

She'll be fine. She'll be fine.

- It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

How's your court case?

I might get two years. It doesn't help that I was speeding,

or that my lawyer's not on solid foods yet.

- So...

Oh, I'm...

I came here to tell you I'm not gonna contest your claim.

The land. I wanna give it to you.

Oh wow, Sienna. Really?

Ja. It was his all along.

Now it's yours.

Thank you.

Just... let me know when you hear anything.

Yeah, I will.

Sorry, um... I need to-- I need to take this.

Dirk?

You found what?

Oh God. Okay. I'm coming. I'm coming.

- Shit.

Describe your hallucination.

I wasn't hallucinating.

Describe her to me.

A girl.

She was bleeding from her eyes, from her ears, from her nose.

That's very graphic.

Describe the room.

A red basement.

Red?

Interesting.

- Where is she? - Where she's always been.

In your mind.

I find it interesting that she bleeds from all orpheuses

and that light is red. Hell-like.

- I saw her. - I don't doubt it.

For you, she's real.

You suffer from dissociative identity disorder.

You call her up in moments of distress.

Another identity to help you cope with feelings you can't manage.

Repressive feelings like hate and rage.

I think we might have to look at changing your medication.

Oh.

I'm not the liar.

On the contrary, that's exactly what you are.

- You've made no progress. Zero.

From your very first day here, accusing innocent people of rape.

I mean, look at you.

Who in their right mind...

would want to rape that?

- What are you going to do?

- What are you doing?!

Remind me why she wasn't our first test subject.

- Her brother. - Oh, yes.

That neurotic pain in the ass.

Get him in here. I'm bored with her.

Sienna!

I tried to tell you.

Don't.

Just trying to help.

Just find her, Dirk.

That would help.

I'm happy you're back, Themba.

After the abduction of her spirit, she just hasn't been the person

that we know her as.

What's the matter?

It's like half of her is here with us

and the other half is with Simphiwe and Mbonisi.

She talks about them as if they are still alive.

Is she eating?

Barely.

How can I help?

Help bring her back, Themba.

It's like she can't see that her life is important.

Yes, those who've passed are important but...

she must also fight for her life.

I will try.

Move this, Max.

Move that, Max.

Ja, Rudy. Sure, Rudy.

Whatever you say.

When you love someone,

you can be woken up at any time, and talk about them.

You don't even need a script when it comes to Mbonisi.

We would laugh and smile just thinking about all his antics.

- As old as I am...

...makes me go back to a time when I was growing up with Mbonisi.

Some of the other things he did.

There is so much more that can be said.

- Remember when we grew up... - Excuse me, Tata.

- Alright, all good Nephew. - Thank you.

- Yola!

Welcome to you all on this wonderful day.

The first of a week of celebrating the breaking of the drought!

- Hey?

Culminating in the daughters of Jacob debutante dance on Sunday.

- Yeah. - Woo-hoo!

Please join me in a moment of silence for our late leader, Jacob Fischer,

our guiding light and the man that taught me everything I know.

Please.

Thank you. Now, eat, drink.

Enjoy yourselves. This is a celebration.

Just give her a minute.

Hey. How are you holding up?

Oh. Ready to party?

Don't worry. She'll turn up.

Hm. Maybe one of your shiny, happy swimmers

are gonna find her in the dam.

Did you have a chance to look at the papers again last night?

- Mm-hm. - And?

- I'm not gonna sign them. - Why not?

Well, it's not mine to sell.

- You said you have power of attorney. - I do. Until Yola is back.

But I'm giving it back to its rightful owners.

Sienna, please. I need you to sign.

Wow, Rudy. Thank you for your support during these tough times,

- really means a lot. - Come on, Sienna.

You want the land? Speak to Themba.

Can I join you?

They're having fun.

I know it's hard.

First your father and now your sister?

No, you don't know.

I do.

I just...

I don't understand it. We were sitting right here

in this exact spot.

She was so strong.

I've never seen her like that.

And now she's just gone. It doesn't make...

Doesn't make any sense.

Don't be sad.

Okay?

I'd swop places with her if I could.

Where're you going?

Home. I don't wanna be here.

- I'll come by later. - No, don't.

I wanna be alone.

I'm gonna get another beer. Excuse me.

...stop. Don't.

Oh God. Stop! Stop!

No! Stop! No.

My brother is such an idiot.

I think he thinks she likes it.

- She might.

Mm. I see she's made a new friend.

Rudy? We need to talk.

- Well, and? - They're really good.

Alluvial diamonds. Great clarity, great colour.

He found them in the river's bend.

And he says there's a lot more where they came from.

- And what does he want in return? - Nothing.

- I've sorted out his charges.

I think he just wants a little taste.

Hey, why the frown face? It's a celebration.

- She's not signing. - She's got the power of attorney.

Yes, she does. But it's not that... She's giving it to Themba.

- Giving it to Themba? - She feels guilty.

Jesus Christ. Guilt is such a useless emotion.

Okay. You've got to make him an offer.

Get him to sign before he finds out more.

- Finds out what?

Hey? Finds out what?

- Okay, Rudy, we need to talk. - Not now, Max.

- No, no, no. Now. - What is it?

Um... I found skeletons.

- What are you talking about? - I was digging up the bend, New Road.

- Like you instructed me... - Yeah.

for fuck knows why. Ja?

I dug into the bank and there was a waterfall of skeletons.

- Whose fucking skeletons? - How the fuck do I know?

It's not like they had names on them. But there's a lot, okay?

And they're old. It's like a-- it's like a mass grave.

- Jesus, only you Max. - Ja, ja. Only me.

Because it's only me who has to do all the shitty jobs.

- Okay. - Okay, okay. Look, um...

What are we gonna do?

I don't know. Just don't talk to anyone else and get rid of them.

Okay? Whoa, whoa. Where are you going? Rudy?

- What's going on? - Just get rid of them.

Over here!

Help!

How can we help you, sir?

I'm here to speak to Themba.

It'll be quick. I promise.

Themba!

Did you bring this clown?

- I'm sorry for your loss. - You look it.

Yeah, well, it's out the dam.

What do you want?

I wanna buy the land, the bit around Mamlambo's Bend and these houses.

- Ah, that was quick. - I don't have any time to waste.

Well, this is not a good time. It's not even mine yet.

Well, that's just a formality.

Why the sudden rush?

The cave with the sun drawings. It's gonna become a heritage site.

And we're thinking about building a resort there.

Bring in some money for the whole town.

- A resort? By the caves? - Mm-hm.

No, I don't think so.

Look, obviously, you will get a percentage,

and I'll make it worth your while.

You and your aunt will never have to work again.

I'm busy. I've got to go.

Yeah, well, think about it.

I have.

Sienna, is everything alright?

It's so good to see you. It's--

- Dirk. - Yeah?

Shut up and fuck me.

Yeah. This one's on Rudy, yeah?

- Welcome back, stranger.

- How's it, bro? - So you're out?

That I am. That I am.

Hey. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. How was the ceremony?

It was good to give him a proper send-off.

- I'm happy. - Yeah.

Listen. Um...

Do you know where I can buy some proper weed here?

I know just the place. Best in the district.

- Great. - Give me one second.

I want you to release her.

It's impossible. She's not ready.

Well, does she remember what happened at the Spring Festival?

- No. - Well then, she's ready.

No, we need more time.

Well, you just said she doesn't remember anything.

It's the early stages of an experimental process.

Trial and error. We don't know what remains. Holes, shadows--

Look. This isn't a debate. Let her go, tonight.

Yoh!

Bra, we have been walking.

We're almost there, man.

You didn't say we're gonna take a hike, though.

Yeah, well.

Oh.

Welcome.

- Ah, ah, ah, ah. Charlton? - Yeah.

- What a 'ting, dog. - Smell it.

Ah. Ooh.

It's still drying. Smell it.

- Got that orange. - Yeah.

- This is great. It's good. - Ah, beautiful.

What you want? A joint, bone-chilling?

Uh, you know what?

Give me a bazooka of a joint, my friend.

- Joint? - Yeah.

- Good choice. - Yes. Nothing too strong.

Tough luck, man.

Tough luck. This has too strong.

He wants Mamlambo's Bend, Sienna's giving me the deed.

That's fantastic. And then he wants to buy it from you?

- For a lot of money. - That's brilliant.

I think you should do it.

- I don't trust him. - Um, nah he's-- He's fine.

He's been nothing but good to me.

You know, him and the committee, they covered...

all my sister's medical costs.

Are you telling me to sell the land?

No, I'm just saying, like, if it was me, I would...

I would take the money and I would get as far away

from this little piece of shit hole in the ground as I possibly can.

No, man. Mm-mm. My grandfather died for this land.

- I'm not doing that. - Okay. But, I mean--

I mean, he's dead.

And this is your chance to get out of here, so you should take it.

Are you still hung up on her?

- Yola? - Mm.

You know, I...

What do you think, that she's gonna... she's going to come back

and the two of you are just gonna live happily ever after?

Maybe.

No. We-- We're fuckable. We're not marriable.

Look at you rooting for Rudy, defending him and shit.

I'm just saying, you know, he didn't-- He didn't have to pay

my sister's bills, but he put his money where his mouth is.

No, man, he's playing you. There's an angle here,

you just don't see it because you're naive.

- I'm naive? - You're naive.

I'm naive, but you're the one who thinks that this beautiful white girl

with all this land is gonna have your brown babies.

Well, I'd better get going.

Hey, I didn't...

I was just-- I was just joking, man. Don't--

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine.

I just want to go clear my head.

- Alright. - Yeah.

Wait, you should-- You should take...

take this. This is, like, super strong.

Just check the resin on this thing.

And I di-- I didn't mean any offence, man.

None taken.

- Sure I can't give you a ride? - It's okay.

I'll... I'll find my way.

Alright.

Oh.

Why don't you stay?

Sienna?

It was good seeing you.

I'll see you.

Yeah.

- See you.

Fuck this.

Jesus. Don't you knock?

Yola?
