-Hugo? -(Hugo) I got access

to your accounts, Esme.

I'll come to your flat and force you to pay.

If Hugo calls me once more, I'm going straight to the cops.

Shameful what you put people through, and you want to be mayor?

-I'm relying on your support, Esme. -Deal with Hugo or I will.

I sent Bertus to Desert Rose to pick up a cargo.

-Phone's been off since last night. -You wanna know what happened, huh?

There's this bar outside town, the Shangri-La.

That's where I sent Bertus, you can start there.

-We need to arrange Rosie's burial. -What's there to arrange?

-Pa doesn't even know. -Go ahead without him.

Your mother was an amazing woman.

If you need anything and I mean anything, you know who to come to.

-Who is it? -Just Marge, from school.

Bill's got us a good offer on the house.

We're not selling the house, Jana.

-We don't even own it. -Where is Pa?

Society of the Holy Ghost, hello.

Hi, I'm looking for Freddy Greyling.

Please give him this terrible news.

Rosie's funeral is this weekend on the farm, he must be there.

You are my boy.

No, no, f*** you, Eugene.

You sad, creepy old f***!

(tense music)

-(Ishara) Eben! -(Eben) No! Ishara, don't shoot!

(Ishara) Move!

(suspense music)

-(Ilse) Ja? -Hi, Ilse.

What do you want?

Freddy asked me to come and do the session with him,

-backing vocals. -Does he think you can sing now?

I can hold a tune.

Good for you.

(sombre music)

Look, Ilse, I'm not here to cause any trouble, okay?

Really?

Yet.. (sighing) you're here.

I didn't realise you guys had stayed in contact.

It's just on and off over the years.

That's f***ing shady, lady.

Where are you living?

-Nowhere. I move around. -I bet you do.

-Ella. -Whitney Houston's here.

Hi.

Come inside.

-Eben, gross, man. -(Jana chuckling)

-Where are your manners, boy? -She's k**.

-(Ilse) You need to get a grip, Eben. -No, she sucks.

Are you deaf, boy? She's a wonderful singer.

Okay, you need to support your father and...

Say sorry to that woman.

No, Ma.

What's the matter, what's wrong with you?

(indistinct singing in distance)

Ma, can't.. can't you see, Ma, he...

Pa's in love with her.

Goodness, my boy, what a wild imagination you have.

Now get back in there.

Eben, her name is Ella.

I'm sorry, Ms Ella.

It's okay, Eben.

Sweetheart? How about you?

You wanna come and do a harmony with Ms Ella?

Ja.

(Freddy) Take it.. Take it from that, the final chorus.

# And the rain.. # Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Okay.

-Stand closer, come on. -Ja.

(Hugo panting)

-(rooster crowing) -(crickets chirping)

(flies buzzing)

(Piet snoring)

(sniffing)

(Piet grunting)

(groaning) I don't have any money.

One day I might find a man of my own.

-Then what? -Well, then he can make the bed.

And you?

I'll sleep outside.

Piet.

When I sell this dump...

-you better come with us. -Where?

I don't know. Upington.

Cape Town.

Cape Town, that place is too fancy for us.

Speak for yourself old timer.

Anyways, your mother's buried here.

She wouldn't mind if we leave.

It's ancestral ground, someone has to stay to protect the graves.

-Why? -It's all we've got left.

You a Greyling now?

-Maybe. -Maybe be careful what you wish for.

It's the only family I've got.

(Esme) What happened to Eugene's face?

Working on the car, hot exhaust scraped him.

-Poor man. -How are you though, my darling?

After your terrible ordeal.

I'm fine, Esme. Just a misunderstanding.

-Did they catch the low-lifes? -We know who they are.

-Who? -Sleazy bunch from Desert Rose.

-Dusty lot. -No manners.

-On duty today? -No, morning off.

-Oh, that's nice. Hm. -Oh, it's always quiet on Sundays.

-Did you enjoy the service? -Oh, ja.

Oh, Eugene's really doing the rounds.

Suzanne, you haven't seen Hugo?

Hm, Hugo Heinz? No, but he must be around here somewhere.

-No, he didn't play organ today. -Thank goodness.

Ja, I also prefer Dedekind's compositions.

-So powerful. -Hm, beautiful.

-Anyways, not to worry. -Okay.

-You have a lovely day, Suzanne. -Ja, same. Bye.

-What did Esme want? -Hugo.

-Why? -Don't know, she didn't say.

(Lucy) Morning, Toshak.

(ominous music)

(chickens clucking)

(sombre music)

(cellphone vibrating)

(Hugo) Eugene.

(Eugene over cellphone) Where are you?

(Hugo) Desert Rose, where you sent me, Eugene.

(Eugene) Esme Botha's asking after you.

-She did? Hm. -(Eugene) Ja, saw her at church.

How was Dedekind's organ composition?

Suzanne liked it.

She did?

(Eugene) Hugo, listen, the Bertus situation, I wanna call it off.

(Hugo) Why? Did you find him?

(Eugene) No. Things have got complicated with the family.

-(Hugo) The family? -(Eugene) Ja, the son, Eben.

-(Hugo) You want me to sort him out? -(Eugene) No, leave the boy alone!

-What's he got on you, Eugene? -(Eugene) None of your business.

You touch one hair on his head and I'm gonna...

(ominous music)

(melancholic music)

(Lucy sighing)

(indistinct police radio chatter)

-(ringing over telephone) -Junior, deceased was sober.

Consistent tyre tracks,

until sudden skid marks, which hit the oncoming truck. No foul play.

She was on the wrong side of the road

and either didn't know or knew and didn't care.

Close it down, Junior. Accidental death.

(melancholic music)

Sorry, can we just.. Can we wait? Please, our Pa isn't here yet.

There's no way he's coming.

He won't miss this.

Ishara.

Okay.

-(melancholic music) -(chickens clucking)

(dog barking in distance)

(melancholic music)

-(Toshak hissing) -(gasping)

(indistinct chatter)

Gysie.

-The Dolly's. -Oh, Jana, I'm so sorry.

It's so bloody awful.

Gus.

-Sorry for your loss, Jana. -Thanks, Gus.

Glad the two of you could make it.

(Ishara) Thank you for coming, Mack.

I really loved her.

We all did.

(Mack) Why was she on that road?

Accidents happen.

-Where's your father? -He couldn't make it.

No, he needs to be here.

I'm gonna find him, Rosie deserves that.

Take this.

We tracked him down to somewhere in Springbok.

Add ten years.

(Mack sniffling)

-(tense music) -(piano playing)

(Piet) Are you lost, sir?

-Hey, bud. -(Piet) How's it?

I'm in the screed game.

I'm just checking out the finishing on these floors.

Ja?

How good to meet you.

I was just, looking for the toilet.

Wait.

-How do you know her? -Who?

-Rosie. -Oh, no, I don't,

I'm just a business associate of Mr Van As.

He's a dear friend of the family.

-I know Van As. -Important man, big deal.

He doesn't attend just anyone's burial.

-Is he here? -No. He sent me.

You can go piss in the bush.

(light-hearted country music)

(indistinct chatter)

(Marge) Ishara. What a beautiful service, thank you.

-Thank you for coming, Marge. -Where's your dad?

-He couldn't make it. -That's awful, man.

Well, that's Pa.

Excuse me, Marge.

Look at you.

(indistinct chatter)

-Jana. -Yo?

Johnny plays keyboard, so maybe later he can play us something?

Suit yourself, Johnny boy.

-In front of all these people? -Ja, man. Don't be scared.

Bust.

-Lucy. -I didn't know you smoked, Mr Dolly.

I don't.

Right.

Patti would kill me if she found out.

It's okay, your secret's safe with me.

No, no, no, no, no. You're too young.

What, too young for what?

Lucy.

Oh, G**.

(metallic clanging)

-(car engine turning off) -(car door opening)

(Mack) Freddy, is that you?

It is you. Fingers. You're a hard man to find, hey.

-(Freddy) I like it that way. -People have searched high and low.

What do you mean people?

Your family.

Who the f*** are you?

I'm.. I'm a friend of your daughter's, sir.

Rosanna.

We buried her this morning.

In Desert Rose.

She was...

I'm sorry.

(melancholic music)

Johnny.

(ominous music)

Who are you?

Miley Cyrus.

-What? -Who are you?

Get me Eben.

-We're having a private function. -Is he your brother?

My uncle.

Tell him...

(Lucy laughing) Wow, that's a stupid name.

Hey, you're an ugly desert rat.

-There's no need to be mean. -Don't insult my name.

-I'm not a rat. -Okay. Okay.

-You're very pretty. -Oh, am I?

For white trash.

Screw you. (screaming)

-Eben. -Lucy.

Hey, hey. Sit the f*** down.

(mysterious music)

I'm Hugo Heinz.

-Ja? -Mr Van As sends his condolences.

You're from Eugene?

Eugene sent me to collect some debt,

but now I'm more interested in what you have on him.

-My debt with Eugene is clear. -Where's Bertus?

I have no idea what you're talking about--

Don't f***ing.. lie to me. His car is in your shed.

Did you f***ing kill Bertus?

(Jana) Who the f*** are you?

-Eben, you okay? -Calm down, red.

Mm-mm. Name?

(Hugo) I'm Hugo Heinz.

My deepest sympathies. I'm just trying to do my job, you know.

Eugene sent you?

He reckons you lot owe him half a bar.

That's dad not us.

A Greyling is a Greyling, someone has to pay.

(Hugo) That. And I need to know where's Bertus?

(Jana) Who the f*** is Bertus?

-(Hugo) Works for Van As. -(Jana) Never heard of him.

-His f***ing car is in your shed-- -Listen to me carefully, Mr Heinz.

We're selling this place for R900K.

Farmhouse, fields, the horse, even the tavern.

Bill Thorne's getting us a good deal.

I'll give you half the sale.

You pay Van As his R400k, and you, take 50 for yourself.

-Why? -'Cause Van As is a tapeworm

who feeds off the blood of this family.

So, I give you 50,

and you make sure we never have to hear that man's name ever again.

Okay?

I'll be back in a week.

And If you don't have the money,

I'll hurt every one of your family members

starting with that pretty caracal outside.

Don't f*** with me.

Eben, what the f***?

I'll be back in a week, rat.

(vehicle engine starting)

(suspense music)

(Toshak hissing)

(tense music)

-(Toshak hissing) -F***.

(car hooting)

F***.

(screaming)

(ominous music)

(Ishara) Pa?

Sweetheart?

Rosie's funeral was today.

-Ja, it was today. -You got the message?

From the church in Pella.

Why didn't you come?

I'm here and...

Everyone asked after you.

I can't believe it's you.

I'm just.. I'm gonna clean up and then.. then we celebrate.

And I'll be right back.

(Ishara sniffling)

(sighing)

(Ishara) Where do you live, Pa?

(Freddy sighing)

(sniffling)

I'm here in the township.

Show me.

(Freddy crying)

I'm not here to hurt you, Pa.

-Just hold back, Lucy. -Okay.

(Toshak hissing)

Piet.

(speaking Khoisan)

(dramatic music)

-(Hugo groaning) -(Ilse) Just relax.

(heart rate monitor beeping)

-(Ilse) We'll take good care of you. -No.

(Ilse) We've given you the anti-venom.

Now, we wait to see if it saves your life.

(dramatic music)

The fever's pulsating through your body.

Sweating, difficulty breathing, numbness, vomiting, dizziness.

In a few minutes, convulsions and paralysis.

In five minutes, you'll wish you were dead.

Don't elevate your heart rate, Hugo.

That's the worst thing you can do.

You relax. I'll be back to check on you soon.

(Hugo groaning)

(dramatic music)

(ambulance siren wailing)

(ominous music)

(upbeat music)

Sounds like it's kicking off.

Ja, now this is what Rosie would've wanted.

Found it abandoned in the desert.

Samuel Philander says he saw it here earlier.

Right.

You happen to see who the driver was?

No.

-Mind if I take a look around? -Sure.

(ominous music)

(grunting)

(Hugo screaming)

(sighing)

(Junior over radio) William, come in, Junior.

-Junior? -(Junior) We found

Van As's number, sir.

-Go ahead. -(Junior) 651-745-8834

Good work, Junior.

(cellphone ringing)

-Eugene. -Mr Van As.

It's Captain Denver Williams from Desert Rose police.

(suspense music)

Ja, what's this about?

Good news, sir. We've found your pick-up in the Kamiesberg.

What?

The one you reported stolen, we have it.

I will need to come and see you tomorrow if that's convenient.

-Who stole it? -(Williams) We don't know that yet.

The pick-up was left out there in the desert.

So Mr Van As, I guess I'll see you tomorrow at your office.

(dramatic music)

-(Layla) Are you hungry? -(Williams) Starving.

Macaroni cheese. (laughing)

Denver.

There's a new flower shop open in town.

-I love you. Oh. -(laughing)

(Williams) I need to go to Springbok.

Why?

I have to see a man about a stolen car.

I don't want you to go back to Springbok.

It's just one meeting and then I'll be home.

-Fine, then I'm coming with you. -Layla.

I don't want you to go back to Springbok alone.

Tomato sauce?

Of course.

-(dogs barking in distance) -(upbeat music in distance)

(indistinct chatter in distance)

I don't have sugar.

-(Ishara) Thank you. -I don't drink milk.

Do you wanna sit?

Yes.

(indistinct chatter over TV)

-Hey! Give it. -Why?

Well, jeez, Patti, if you wanna play games.

-What's wrong with you? -Come on.

What? Why do you?

I just don't get it, what.. What have I done to you?

-Thank you. -(sighing)

-(tense music) -(cellphone keypad clicking)

Pa?

You, I don't even know you.

I know you, sir.

Sweetheart, I am not going to Desert Rose with you, okay?

Ten years ago, I was banished from that place and I'm still--

You choose to leave.

You weren't exiled, you chose to leave us behind.

-There was no space for you. -If you'd taken us with you,

we'd still be a family.

I freed you, so you can find your own way.

Well, Rosie's dead now, Pa.

And your pal, Van As.

He's going to take the farm away from us.

Let him have it.

-It's all we have. -No.

You don't need a house to find your own way.

Mom's buried there, Pa.

Oupa Greyling too.

What do you need me for?

Lucy is 16.

She's the last piece of Greyling innocence left in this world.

Come back for her.

Please.

(dramatic music)

Sweetheart, no.

I can't.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry, Pa.

-(Eugene snoring) -(Hugo grunting)

-Eugene. -(Suzanne screaming)

-(Eugene) Hugo. -(Hugo) Listen. Listen, Bertus--

(Eugene) What the f***'s going on?

(Hugo) Bertus made it to the Greyling farm.

I found his car, the emerald Toyota.

They f***ing killed him, Eugene, and they hid his body.

(Eugene) Why are you telling me this now?

(Hugo) Because one of those f***ing low-lifes, took my pinkie, Eugene.

I can see that.

I'm going to destroy them, one at a time.

Oh, Eugene.

Until there is no Greylings left in Desert Rose.

(dramatic music)
