-Eugene sent you? -Reckons you lot owe him half a bar.

We're selling this place for 900K. I'll give you half the sale.

You pay Van As his 400k.

And you, take fifty for yourself.

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.

-(car hooting) -(suspense music)

(Hugo screaming)

(Williams over telephone) 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.

(Layla) I don't want you to go back to Springbok.

It's 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.

Lucy is 16.

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

-Come back for her. -Sweetheart, no.

-I'm sorry Dad, pack your things. -We're going home.

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

until there's no Greyling's left in Desert Rose.

(dramatic music)

(Announcer) Alright ladies and gentleman,

let's put your hands together one more time.

For the last show of Mr Freddy fingers.

Fingers.

Great gig, you killed it man.

-Thank you. -We need to talk.

-(Ishara) Dad. -Sweetheart!

(Ishara/Freddy laughing)

Hey Ilse.

Frederik. Well done.

You did great, Dad.

You look great.

I'm proud of you, Freddy.

-(Freddy) That's the last date. -You're a rock star.

End of tour.

(glass clinking)

-(Freddy) Last day, ka ching-ching. -Back to Desert Rose?

-I don't know about that. -That's why I came here.

-Freddy? -Yes, I know.

But, you know.

-It's just not that simple. -Bullshit, Frederik.

We need you at the farm.

Come home. Please.

Jimmy. Jimmy Hendricks.

-Fingers. -Let me introduce you,

this is my daughter Ishara.

And this is my wife, Ilse. Jimmy Hendricks.

(Ilse laughing)

-No Maverick. -Jimmy Hendricks.

So Freddy, they've agreed to play the single on Radio NFM.

(Freddy) You biscuit! That's amazing!

But, we need to hit this while the iron is hot.

-(Freddy) What's that? -Expand east.

-Tour's over, Jimmy. -Dad's coming home.

Yeah, let's not jump the gun on that okay.

-What do you have in mind? -Summer festivals.

Upington, Kuruman, Pofadder.

(Freddy) We haven't gigged in Kuruman.

Are you deaf, Jimmy?

Tour's over. The fat lady has f***ing sung.

Overs skedovers.

(Freddy) Sweetheart.

Can you give your mother and I a couple of minutes, please?

I don't want to hear this.

(Ilse) I don't care who she is.

You need to come home, Frederik.

-(Ilse sniffing) -You need to come home.

(Freddy) It's not that simple, Ilse.

It is, that simple.

We made vows to each other.

We'll make it better.

I promise you.

(Freddy) I can't come home.

You love her? Do you love her?

You love her?

F***.

No!

(Ilse crying)

Frederik. (whispering)

F***, Freddy.

(intense music)

(Freddy) Sweetheart.

-Can we go home now? -(Ilse) Yes, I'm driving.

-(Freddy) No, you can't drive. -And you can?

Yes, I can, cause I'm f***ing ace.

(sombre music)

-I'll get Jimmy to drive you guys. -And you?

Don't worry about me. Just give me the keys.

If you don't come home with us, you don't get to decide what happens.

(Freddy) You can't drive.

-(Ilse) Bulls***, man. -Mom.

(Ilse) You don't even live with us anymore.

Come, girl.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

(sombre music)

(Freddy) F***! Okay, I'll come.

-(Ilse) Don't do me any favours. -(Freddy) Let's go. I'm serious.

(Ilse) Freddy bloody Greyling, you handsome devil.

-Just give me the f***ing keys. -Let's get out of here,

-let's hit the road. -Give me the keys.

-I'll drive. -(Freddy) You can't drive,

you don't even have a licence.

-I know how to drive, Dad. -(Ilse) Let her drive, it's not far.

-Oh for fucks sake. -At least if we get into s***,

she gets blamed for it.

Hugo's going to be back for his money soon.

(Bill) Are you sure you don't want coffee?

It doesn't give us enough time to sell the house, Bill.

(Bill) You the expert now, hey?

-I've got a lead. -Who?

A mining company from the Richtersveld.

New technology, they want to buy up all the plots.

They want all the diamonds along the coast,

from Port Nolloth to Hondeklipbaai.

So farms like yours make that possible

for them to expand the operation.

-And they'll make an offer? -I think so.

If we play our cards right.

Thanks, Bill.

(mysterious music)

Hey.

When the deal's done.

(mysterious music)

(ominous music)

(car doors closing)

-(Freddy) Who the heck are you? -Lucy Greyling.

No.

No, the Lucy I remember took me to my knee.

She had strange toes, three eyes.

Not this beautiful young woman I see before me.

Yes well, I was six, so.

Lucy Greyling.

(wind blowing)

(Freddy) Where's the Tretchikoff?

-Broke. -Broke?

-Who broke it? -Some low life.

We better invoice him.

It had a lot of sentimental value, you know.

Yeah, good luck with that.

(car reversing)

-Piet. -Where are you going to, young man?

Who's asking?

Just use my car okay this one is too dangerous.

-It's fine. -You're going to attract unnecessary

-attention to us. -I won't, Piet.

This is the dead man's car.

I know, Piet.

Back off okay, I'm not Freddy's boy anymore.

(Piet) Just be careful.

(car driving off)

(Freddy sniffling)

I miss her.

Me too.

(Freddy) Toshak, is it a tortoise?

(Lucy) No, Cape Cobra.

That's very Greyling.

-Yes. -So where's he now?

In the desert. I hope.

-He used to live here. -Okay.

(upbeat music)

(Freddy) Piet Panga.

Sir. Van As...

My coat will not fit you.

You are Freddy?

You're a dirty coat.

(Freddy) Geez, ugly is not yet beautiful.

-You look good. -(Piet) You know how it goes.

You keeping an eye on these, hooligans.

No problem, Freddy.

I wish I could believe your straight face. What the f***?

(Piet) This was an accident man, curtains caught fire.

-Eben, he smokes? -No man it was a hot iron.

Your boy and Van As, they had a scrap about a week ago.

Is he still causing trouble?

-Yes, from time to time. -I'll talk to him.

It's all good, Freddy.

(Ilse) Lucy.

-(Lucy) Not today. -Everyday let's go.

School? Little one, school is good.

Can I walk you? I'll walk you.

I'll come, I'll walk you.

(school bell ringing)

Bye.

(indistinct chatter)

Oh, flip.

(indistinct chatter)

Remember old Woodbury?

(Ed) Everyone's talking about it, Freddy.

-(Freddy) About what? -Admin staff teacher, Ella Vaalbooi.

Yes, and?

-(Ed) What do you want me to do? -(Freddy) Huh?

(wind blowing)

(Freddy) I'll tell you what Ed,

why don't you come over to the house tonight.

We'll have chops and drinks and then we can talk

about whatever you want to talk about.

I don't know, Fred. I find alcohol dulls the senses.

Ilse makes a very good peach brandy.

I'll tell her to expect you, say seven?

Seven work for you? Good.

(intense percussive music)

(Eben) Two to six is plus one.

Seven to nine is zero. Ten to ace is minus one.

(Dealer) Over to you, sir.

-(Eben) Low cards. Minus one. -(Dealer) Sir.

(Eben) Minus two, dealer wins.

Ahh, f***.

(Dealer) Alright Gentlemen, new bets please.

-(Williams) Mr Van As? -(Eugene) Hey?

(Williams) Captain Denver Williams. We have an appointment, sir.

-Yes, sit. -Thanks.

(indistinct chatter)

Excuse me? Hi, please can you help me?

Don't you have anything a bit fuller?

I'm carrying quite a load here.

No, we don't sell pregnancy clothes here.

Women in Springbok don't get pregnant?

-They don't shop here. -Where do they shop?

Next door.

(mysterious music)

(Layla) Thank you.

(indistinct radio chatter)

(Guard) Can I check your purse please ma'am?

(tense music)

Ma'am.

(Williams) Well, as I mentioned on the phone,

we found a pick-up registered to your business outside Desert Rose.

It was just left out in the middle of nowhere.

Seems the driver had abandoned it.

-At Desert Rose? -Yes.

Could you tell me what happened, sir?

-To what? -(Williams) The pick-up, sir.

It was stolen from our garage.

When was this?

-Few weeks ago. -Oh, okay.

I filled out a police report, claimed from insurance.

(Williams) And have they paid?

-Not yet. -Hmm.

One more thing, sir. We found a diver's helmet in the pick-up.

Are you a diver?

No.

Do you know someone who may own a diver's helmet?

No, Captain.

Okay, then.

You have a good day.

(suspense music)

(phone trilling)

For fucks sakes, Hugo!

The person you are trying to reach is not available at the moment.

(intense music)

Sir please, do we have to, please sir. I ca...

Please, sir. It was a accident, please.

Layla Williams. Please leave a message.

(Williams) Layla hi, where are you?

We said 1 hour in a mall, give me a call. Please.

(tense music)

Layla Williams. Please...

I'm all in.

All in blue, three thousand.

(casino slot machines)

(tense music)

Yes, come on!

(Eben laughing)

-Black jack for player blue. -(Eben) Thank you very much.

-Sir, I think we need to talk. -What's your problem man,

-I won fair and square. -Come with me, come.

Come with me.

(Eben) What's your problem man, get off of me.

-F*** man, get off me. -I've had enough of you.

(casino slot machines)

(indistinct chatter)

(Williams) Hi, Captain Williams, Desert Rose police.

I was told by mall security about my wife.

-Can you please take me to her. -(phone ringing)

This way.

-Junior? -Captain, I've traced

the diver helmets. There are three agents in the province.

-One is in Port Nolloth. -Okay, good job.. Good job.

My wife?

(tense music)

(Eben heavy breathing)

(tense music)

(tense music)

(Eben) F***, f***. F***.

(keys unlocking door)

(sombre music)

-(Layla) My back is killing me. -I'll take care of it.

I'm sorry.

The sales assistant was so mean,

I blanked out again.

What did it look like?

Cotton, pretty, blue. Not even my size.

(Layla sobbing)

(sombre music)

(Williams) You know sir, it's quiet in Desert Rose.

I mean I like it better,

and Layla's happy, so all is good, Commander.

Hmm.

Listen,

I know shop lifting's serious. Theft is theft you know.

It was a mistake.

Layla's a good person.

She,

She suffers from depression and when things get...

when things get really bad, she acts out this way.

(Commander) Hmm.

It's the first time she's ever been caught.

(Denver laughing)

She doesn't even want the shirt.

It's not her colour.

And it's too small.

I can't help you.

Yes.

Thank you, sir.

Is there nothing I can do to make this problem go away?

Like.. what?

(shovelling)

So this plot,

and all the surrounding areas,

actually discovered by a Greyling descendant.

Let me, let me help you up here hold onto me.

Here we go. Are you okay?

A Reverend William Grey, set up a mission station here.

-(Piet) Oh. -Why?

That's why you Dad's here.

(Bill talking in background)

What?

(Freddy) You must have a boyfriend, you're nice.

I mean, no, no.

-(Lucy) Well I mean, sort of. -Yes?

No? Maybe?

-Does he have a name? -Well, I can't say.

Okay so he does not know you like him?

(Lucy) Well, I mean no.

He has a wife, so...

That was good, you had me.

Mom knew, she wasn't happy about it.

-Race you home, old timer. -(Freddy) Wait!

Come.

(ominous music)

(ominous music)

(Eben) Call me Ishmael.

(ominous music)

Jana.

I know, Eben. (sniffling)

Piet told me.

(ominous music)

I'm fine.

(indistinct singing)

(laughing)

-(knock on door) -Coming.

-(Rosie) Headmaster Woodbury. -Rosanna, how are you?

-Am I in trouble? -No no.

-Boo! -(laughing) Come in.

Freddy invited me for a drink.

Dad? He's not here yet, but he'll be here soon.

(Eben) You can just play with us in the meantime.

Peach brandy's homemade. Enjoy.

(Jana laughing)

-I just need the bathroom. -Yeah sure, it's down the passage.

No, it's for me, he brought it for me.

(melancholy music)

-Ilse? -(Ilse) What?

No, it's fine. It's fine, it's fine.

It's fine, it's fine.

-Who is that? -No, nothing, It's fine.

(mellow music)

(Freddy) Mr Woodbury.

-Fred. -(Freddy) Headmaster Woodbury,

It's so good to see you. Thank you very much for coming,

-I'm sorry, I'm a little bit late. -It's fine.

If today isn't the best...

-Yes. -It's good to have you, come on in.

Listen, maybe today isn't the best time.

No, it's perfect timing. Rosie, get this man a drink.

-Where's Ilse? -She's in bed, she seems very ill.

Excellent.

Freddy, Fred... Listen,

we've got to talk about the thing at school, man, with Miss Vaalbooi.

-We can't... -Okay, we'll do that.

Tonight buddy, I want you to meet the Greyling's.

We're going to entertain you. Just have a seat, relax.

This is a Greyling house concert.

Eben!

(indistinct singing)

(Ishara) I love that, Dad.

Hello, Dad.

Hello, Janatjie.

Welcome back.

(Freddy) Thank you.

(Freddy laughing)

Holy mother of a meerkat.

You looked like you got dragged out of a drain with a piece of soap.

Yes, Dad.

Piet told me. Were you in the caravan when it burnt down?

(Freddy laughing)

Baba.

Go.

(Freddy) Baba.

(Freddy) Baba. My boy.

I'm just trying to keep it light.

Look at you, it's so good to see you.

You look terrible.

(Eben/ Freddy laughing)

You too, Dad.

(Freddy) I'm sorry about your caravan.

Piet said that Van As has been a real nuisance.

Nuisance?

He's not entirely a bad guy.

He takes you fishing?

Where?

The Orange, he has a cabin there.

After a while we didn't even go fishing.

(Freddy) What are you talking about?

I did it for all of us.

Did what?

Nothing, Dad.

(Freddy) Hey.

What did Van As make you do?

Nothing I didn't want to do, Dad.

(Eben laughing)

-(tense music) -(Eben laughing)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

Ishara. Why is Dad home?

-We need his help. -I told you, I'm handling things.

You think selling the house is going to solve all our problems?

But Van As isn't going away, he's already sent two men.

Two?

Yes.

-The guy at the Shangri-la. -Hugo.

(Jana) Yes, Hugo Heinz. And who else?

-Bertus. -Who the f*** is this Bertus?

He came to the house while you were out with Thorne.

Where do you think the emerald Toyota came from?

Why didn't you tell me?

-I thought you were handling things. -F***, Ishara.

I'm trying my best here.

If trying your best means seducing Thorne, then yes.

I'm not into him.

You just don't get it.

Focus on your family, Jana.

Lucy needs us to be strong.

So,

where's this Bertus now?

You don't want to know.

Ishara.

Hey..

Tell me.

(fire crackling)

-Here you go, Grandpa. -Thank you, I'm here.

(knock on door)

(tense music)

(Freddy) Bill re-sale f***ing Thorne.

Freddy.

-What you doing here? -This is my house, Bill.

What the f*** are you doing here?

-I'm here to see Jana. -What for?

I've got business with her. Where the f*** have you been?

Little one, go get your aunt.

Stay there.

So this...

You look exactly the f***ing same.

Last time I heard, you were in Kimberley, Bloem doing some s***.

-I go where the work is. -Yes. I bet.

(Bill) Jana. I've got good news.

The mining group are interested.

-We got an offer? -A million bucks.

-Bill. -They tried to haggle with me but I,

I stood firm.

Janatjie, are you selling the house?

You've got one day to accept the offer.

Yes, a million bucks.

-That's what it's worth to you? -(Bill) Just trying to help, Fred.

Okay Dad it's,

it's a good deal, Dad.

The fields are barren, tavern runs at a loss

and Van As hounds us day and night.

-I'll talk to Van As. -Too little, too late, Dad.

Deed's in my name.

Well,

it isn't anymore.

We thought you were dead, Fred.

Everyone thought you were f***ing dead,

-where the f*** have you been? -Shut the f*** up.

Jana.

-Rosie knew I was alive. -She never told us.

So after Rosie died, we had the deed transferred into Jana's name.

-We? -Me.

(tense musical build-up)

-Get out of my G***damn house. -(Jana) It's not yours!

-I walk and the deal walks with me. -Go.

-(Bill) I'm serious, Freddy. -You f***ing...

Walk out the door... Jana, I walk out the door, the deal's done.

-Thorne.. Hold on. -The deal walks out with me.

-Wait. -He's going to f*** up another thing for the family...

Get out of my f***ing house!

-Thorne! -Another big decision for the Greyling family, there you go.

-Go! -Who the f*** do you think you are?

We've had to get on without you.

I am still the head of this house!

(Jana) No, Dad.

You haven't been part of this family for years.

(tense music)

(knock on door)

(knock on door)

-(Bill) There's nothing to say. -One minute.

(tense music)

-Kills the mosquitos. -Come on, Bill.

Look at me.

Of course we're going to accept the offer.

No. I called them. Told them we're not interested.

Well call him back.

You told me,

-Freddy was out of the picture. -He is.

What have I been doing here, Jana?

For two f***ing weeks in this s*** hole.

Thinking you and I could be business partners.

-We are. -I didn't do this for nothing.

I know that. Ten percent.

Ten percent of nothing is still nothing,

-Jana. -Hey!

-Take it easy, Bill. -Don't tell me to take it easy.

-You used me. -What?

-You took advantage. -No, I...

I need this to go through for our future.

-Our future? -Yes, you and me.

There is no you and me.

Why do you think I'm doing this,

because I think you're a nice person?

I'm a man. I have needs, flesh and blood.

Come on, Bill. Did you really think I'd f*** a tired old goat like you?

(tense musical build-up)

(Bill) F*** you!

F*** you! You Greyling low lives.

(Jana) You're the f***ing low life.

(tense musical build-up)

(dramatic music)

Oh f***.

(dramatic music)
