Did you really think I'd f*** a tired old goat like you.

-(Jana grunting) -(Thorne) F*** you.

(both grunting)

-(Williams) Booked in alone? -(Cornelius) Five nights.

Mr Thorne's in real estate.

Reckons he had the mandate to sell the Greyling farm.

-(Williams) Did he have any visitors? -(Cornelius) No.

Most guests like to be left alone.

(Ishara) The green one, the one we off the dead guy.

-(Eben) It was stolen. -(Ishara) We all going to jail.

Find the car, Eben.

-(Eben) You stole my car. -What are you, a cop?

Freddy Greyling's son. Hi, Ella.

(Freddy) You got a date?

No, I'm just going for a ride. Don't be silly.

Like that?

Augustus Dolly.

Ja, I see what's going on here, we've got a little school girl crush.

-On Meneer. -Oupa, what the hell?

He's really not the man you think he is.

Save your heart for someone good.

(gasping)

Not a word or I'll gut you.

Please, what.. what do you want?

-Where's Bertus? -What? Who?

I know he was here, the guy you killed.

What? I.. What?

-Where is he? -Get away from... (grunting)

-(shrieking) -Shut the f*** up.

Shut the f***.. f*** up.

(tense music)

(both grunting)

(Lucy panting)

(tense music)

Little one!

(Hugo groaning) F***.

(owl hooting)

(Hugo grunting)

-(Lucy whimpering) -Are you okay?

-He's.. He's outside. -Okay.

(Lucy) Okay.

(Freddy) Piet! It's Hugo! (indistinct shouting)

-(car engine starting) -(Hugo) Come on.

(Freddy) Get him!

-(Piet yelling) -(Freddy) Piet! Pieter!

C***! Piet. Piet.

(Rosie sighing)

-Could've cleaned up a bit, Eugene. -Ja, maybe put the kettle on.

-Slice of cake. -Suzanne's lemon meringue.

Oh, tasty.

So, you can imagine our disappointment.

-This place is a s***hole. -It's not fit for ladies like us.

Not fit for a pig. (snorting)

-Didn't know you were bringing her. -Ja, well,

I didn't know we'd end up in this situation.

Freddy agreed to clear the debt in six months.

You wanna know how much he's paid so far?

Ja, well, welcome to our world.

Ja, well, you're the runts of his mongrel litter.

Look, I'm the one who bailed him out of a hole.

No, Eugene, you're the guy who put him in that hole

-and stamped on his head. -Rosanna, you gonna tell your sister

-to shut up or must I? -(Jana) Oh, say it, Eugene.

Scold me, put me over your knee and spank me.

We'll give you Ma's jewellery, Pa's guitars, the Tretchikoff,

-the bakkie and the horse. -Horse?

-It's worth a lot. -(Eugene chuckling)

He owes me half a bar, Rosie. What would I do with a f***ing horse?

Come on, Eugene. When you become mayor you can ride it to town,

-wave to all your supporters. -I don't want a f***ing horse.

-(Jana scoffing) -We don't have other assets.

-Farmhouse? -No, it's Lucy's future.

(Eugene) My advice, take care of the present before sorting the future.

Well, you shoulda told Freddy that.

Ja, well, we still got a problem.

Eugene, Freddy trusted you. We're here, aren't we?

What more do you want?

(ominous music)

Okay, I could be more lenient,

if you'd let Eben accompany me on a fishing trip.

-Fishing for what? -(scoffing)

There are no rivers in the Northern Cape.

(Eugene) Catfish. Barbel.

I've got a cottage, it's up in the Richtersveld.

The Orange flows nearby, it's--

Why do you wanna spend time with Eben?

-You're into guys now, hm? -What's that?

Why Eben?

Company.

-(Jana) Take your wife. -(Eugene scoffing) Suzanne?

No, she refuses to go to the cabin, says it's full of bugs and spiders.

The boy needs it. He's soft.

-We're doing the best we can. -He needs a father.

-He has a father. -Does he?

-Look, I haven't got kids of my own. -Oh.

It must be tough for Eben,

I mean, he's growing up without Freddy around.

He's raised by peahens.

I can teach him things that my father taught me,

about being a man, about looking after family,

-these valuable life lessons. -(Jana) No.

No, you're a f***ing loan shark, and you'll never be a father.

So, don't ever call yourself that again, okay?

F***.

(sighing)

How many fishing trips?

(ominous music)

(light-hearted guitar music)

(Eben humming)

(horse neighing)

You only need to be his companion, okay?

Nothing else.

Hey, nothing else.

-(Eugene) Eben! I'm Eugene. -(sheep bleating)

-Let's fish. -Yes, sir.

(vehicle engine starting)

(Eugene) So, the catfish, they love the taste of pap.

Okay, so what you wanna do, is take a little bit of the pap...

Ja. Then you wanna pack it around the hook.

Ja.

-(Eben) Ouch. -(Eugene gasping) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

(ominous music)

Okay, just hold it there.

Okay.

(ominous music)

(Freddy) Who is this Heinz?

He works for Van As.

(Freddy) How do you know that?

-Because Heinz told us. -(Freddy) When?

Rosie's after tears.

He came to the house to collect Van As's money.

He said he'd be back in a week or he'd...

(Freddy) What?

You know what.

(flies buzzing)

(Freddy) I'll talk to Eugene, I'll sort it out.

Our hero.

I'm doing everything I can, okay?

We're here now.

Lucy's in danger and strange men keep coming to the house.

What men?

Ask Ishara.

Hugo wasn't the only one. (clearing throat)

There was also a Bertus.

(Jana) You see, Pa.. Van As hasn't forgotten your debt.

(Jana) Eben's been paying it off for years.

-I'm so very sorry, my boy. -(Jana) You're sorry?

(scoffing/chuckling)

We've all been paying off.. your debt.

-I promise you, I will make it right. -(Jana) Damage is done.

(Jana) We're f***ing hollowed out. Bloodless.

Because.. we never know what's going to happen next.

Huh, Piet? I mean some...

Some creepy f*** can show up at the house any time.

And threaten to take everything away from us. Do you understand what--

I'm here now.

(Jana) Sleeping on the floor and meditating? No, Pa.

We've had to live here without you for years.

While you do what? Become Brother Frederik?

We don't need a reborn father, we need protection!

-(Ishara) Okay, let's just calm down. -No!

You're not gonna defend him now, Ishara.

-But we're a family. -(Jana) You know what? F*** that.

We're not a family. No.

No, that ended when Ma died.

-(Freddy) Jana-- -No, the only thing

that holds us together is this Godforsaken farm.

We're trapped here, like wildcats in a cage.

If she hadn't died, I swear...

-Your Ma was a drunk. -(Jana) You know that it's your fault

-that she was like that. -(Freddy) Yeah, it was me.

-I force-fed her. -Yes, you did.

-You were the reason she drank! -Shoved it down her...

-There was a time when none of you-- -(Jana) I'm so f***ing tired

-of hearing all your sob stories. -(Freddy) You have no idea

-what you are even talking about. -Shut up! You broke her heart.

-Shut the f*** up! -Jana, stop it!

(melancholic music)

(Jana) We're not a family. That ended when Ma died.

(Ishara) # Give me the moonshine # # Give me the wine #

-# Give me the togetherness # -# ..the togetherness #

# Spare me the pain #

(dramatic music)

(Johnny) Ishara are you, okay?

(mysterious music)

(Ilse/Freddy vocalising)

-(car tyres screeching) -(Johnny) Ishara! Wait, Ishara!

Ish.. Just wait! Wait! Ishara, wait.

What is it? What is it?

-What is it? -Just do yourself a favour and leave.

Just talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.

What is it? Look at me. What is it? What is it?

-(Ishara sniffling) -It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay.

I swerved. I swerved for a man on a bicycle

and she hit her head and that's how she died.

Okay, okay.

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but look, look at me, look at me.

Ishara, it's not your fault. Okay, it was an accident.

-Okay? -That's why I don't drive, Johnny.

I understand. I understand. I understand.

But if you let me...

I will help you.

(tender music)

-(police siren wailing in distance) -(indistinct police radio chatter

(telephone ringing)

Why would his shirt be torn if he fell backwards off the bed?

(Junior over telephone) Boss, house-break at the Greylings.

Late last night, perp got away. No one harmed.

I thought we'd leave it.

It's the Greylings, Junior.

(light-hearted music)

(light-hearted music)

(Johnny) What I was.. I was thinking...

No.

Well, I play the keyboard.

I was thinking a few of us could maybe start a house band.

He's really good.

(Freddy) What do you know about the spirit of the Namaqua?

Everything you've taught me.

That's behind me. Okay? I'm old crew now.

I've got one grandkid, that's enough.

(upbeat music)

(Piet sighing/humming)

(clearing throat)

(vocalising)

(horse neighing)

(cash register chiming)

-You okay, son? -(Eben) Always.

(Williams clearing throat)

-You like it? -(Williams coughing)

Delicious.

(Jana) My Ma used to put sugar on everything. Even the vegetables.

-(Williams chuckling) -Ilse's was better.

-Ja. -(Williams) So, Heinz was here?

He was terrorising my grandchild. Do you know who this fool is?

Hugo Heinz, from Port Nolloth.

We've had words. A bit of a creepy guy.

He abandoned his pick-up in the middle of the desert.

I still haven't figured out why.

(Jana) He came here about a week ago to collect on a debt.

(Williams) He has a record. Assault.

Drew a diver's knife on a man in Springbok.

I'll call it in. You stay here and do nothing.

(Jana) Thanks, Detective. (Williams) While I'm here,

a claims examiner is in town for this Thorne thing.

-Mind if I ask you a few questions? -Sure.

A maid saw you at the Norfolk on a few occasions

-with Thorne in the last week. -Ja, that's true, business.

We found scratch marks on his neck.

DNA tests will take a few months to get back from Pretoria,

but do you know of anyone who would wanna harm him?

Bill? Nah.

Cornelius told me your brother and Thorne had words outside the hotel.

-Ja, I was there. It was nothing. -(Williams) What was it about?

Clearing the tab.

Ishara mentioned on the night that Thorne died,

you were all here at home, having a family dinner, here at the house?

-That's right. -(Jana) Ja.

(Williams) What did you do after that?

-(Freddy) She was here. -I'd like to hear her answer, sir.

-I can vouch for that-- -(Jana) Actually, Pa.

You've got it all wrong, I.. I went to see a friend.

-She did leave. Ja, I'm sorry. -Who?

I'd rather not say. He's got a wife. (chuckling)

But I can guarantee you, I was nowhere near the Norfolk.

Look, Jana, to discount the eyewitness,

-I'm gonna need you to prove that. -Ja, sure.

-(Williams) Can you? -Yes, of course.

Okay, then.

Thanks.

(mysterious music)

Okay, so whenever you're ready.

Fire it up, okay?

-(whispering) Okay. -Okay.

(whispering) Is the clutch in?

-(car engine starting) -Okay, good. Good, good.

Slow release. Little bit of petrol.

-(car engine stalling) -Okay, okay. It's fine, it's okay.

Look, you don't need to be scared.

There's, literally, nothing to crash into. Okay?

Okay. (sighing)

(upbeat techno music over speakers)

Do you know Ella?

Do you know where she lives?

(indistinct chatter)

(car alarm blaring in distance)

(knocking on door)

-(Ella) You want the car back? -(Eben) It's not my car.

I got it from a dead guy.

-You a killer? -He wanted to hurt Lucy.

-The little one, Rosie's girl? -Ja.

Rosie's dead.

Ja, Freddy told me.

-You saw him? -No, he called.

-I told him not to call back again. -Why?

'Cause that part of my life is over.

-But you were in love. -(scoffing/chuckling)

I saw you together. He's never looked at anyone like that.

-Don't be silly, boy. -Then why were you with him?

He was okay with my Ma, we were fine.

If you didn't love him, why did you take him away from us?

-I was young, he was famous, so-- -Bulls***.

I saw you together, I.. I know you loved him.

So, what does that matter now?

-Freddy is back in Desert Rose. -Good for him.

-He needs you. -No, he doesn't.

Come back with me.

I don't love your father, okay? I never did.

Get that through your thick skull.

Now leave me alone, before I scream for help.

(car alarm blaring in distance)

-(sighing) -(indistinct TV broadcast)

-(boat horn blaring) -(seagulls cawing)

-Hugo. -(boat horn blaring)

(indistinct chatter)

(car engine starting/stalling)

-(Johnny chuckling) -Do you find this funny?

(Johnny) Ishara.

(light-hearted music)

(Johnny sighing)

Okay.

-Take a deep breath. -I can't do this.

Yes, you can. Look at me. Yes, you can.

I don't think the driver's supposed to distract the instructor.

(Ishara sighing) Okay.

Okay.

(car engine starting)

Okay.

-(car accelerating) -(Ishara gasping)

-Hey! (chuckling) -(yelling/chuckling)

Yes! (yelling/giggling)

-(seagulls cawing) -(dramatic music)

(ship horn whistling/blaring)

Heinz!

(ominous music)

-(tense music) -(Freddy grunting)

(Hugo panting)

I see you there, Jana.

Just fixing a hinge.

-What brings you here? -Fingers's gonna play?

I don't know, doubt it.

Can we talk? Inside.

Sure.

I've got a new mampoer you can take a swing at.

(ominous music)

-(Cornelius coughing) -(Jana chuckling)

-Hey? -It's fuel for a rocket.

(Jana chuckling) Perfect for the flower festival.

-How are your bookings? -Hm, quiet.

Dead guest has the tour operators spooked.

-Bill Thorne? -Ja.

-Cop said it was an accident. -They've been wrong before.

I know you were with Thorne.

My housekeeper sees all your comings and goings, plus...

-you left this in his bed. -That f***ing ugly thing?

-Not my style. -Don't worry, your secret's safe.

(ominous music)

I wasn't with Bill Thorne. I can prove it.

You don't have to prove anything to me.

But.. (clearing throat)

maybe we can talk about a partnership over the flower fest.

A partnership? (scoffing)

The Norfolk hosts the big Saturday night event

and you make sure this place is closed.

-That's our only income all year. -Nobody understands the challenges

of making money in this town more than me,

but.. in this instance...

you don't have a choice.

F***ing a**hole.

-(ominous music) -(Hugo grunting)

(Freddy grunting)

-(Hugo mumbling) -(Freddy grunting)

(gasping)

(Hugo groaning/panting)

(sombre music)

(dramatic music)

(doorbell ringing)

How much time we got?

An hour.

-(Gus) I missed you. -I need you to do something for me.

-What.. What is it? -Gus.

-I need your help. -After this.

-(Hugo panting) -(knocking at door)

(Hugo grunting)

(panting)

-(Williams) Hey, skip. -Officer.

I hope you're.. saving water, Mr Heinz.

-Bylaws are very strict. -I know. I am.

Mr Heinz, I received a report

that you were at the Greyling farm last night.

-(Hugo mumbling) -What's that?

Nothing.

-Were you? -What?

-At the Greyling farm. -Ja.

-Mr Heinz, were you trespassing? -No.

-Had they invited you? -Who?

Can I come in, just so we can clear this all up?

-I just have a few questions -Now?

Yes, sir.

Of course, officer, come in.

(groaning)

-Just give me a minute to dry off. -Sure thing. I'll be right here.

I won't be long.

(tense music)

Oh, f***. (panting)

(Freddy panting)

I hope you're not trying to jump out of the window.

-Oh, no. -Not before you clean up this mess.

Ja.

Why were you at the Greyling farm last night?

-Business. -What type of business?

-Do I have to answer that now? -No.

We can always continue this conversation down at the cop shop

in Desert Rose.

Freddy Greyling's in business with my partner, okay?

-(Williams) So what? -Money is owed.

-You're a debt collector. -No, I'm a business associate.

-Of? -Van As.

-Van As? -Yeah.

-First name? -Eugene.

-Eugene Van As. -He's the reason I was there.

-The Greylings didn't pay, so I left. -Just like that?

Just like that, officer. Are we good?

Sure. For now.

Okay, have a good day further, officer.

(groaning)

-(boat horn blaring) -(seagulls cawing)

-(dramatic music) -(both panting)

I need you to say that you were with me.

-When? -On the night that Bill Thorne died.

-Was I with you? -No, man.

-We haven't been together for months. -So, why would I lie?

-Because if you don't, I'll tell Patti about this.

-You wouldn't. -Test me.

-Okay. -Say it.

I was with you the night Bill Thorne died.

-Where? -Um.. here?

No, we went to Port Nolloth for the night.

-The hotel? -Yes.

Right.

(horse neighing in distance)

(Ishara) Psst.

-Hi. -Oh, hi, man.

(Johnny) Hi, are you here for the auditions?

-Oh, yes, I am. -(Johnny) Welcome.

Fingers is alive and well,

and we're gonna bring back the spirit of the Namaqua.

-Uh, I can't wait, man. -Cool.

(Williams panting)

-(cellphone keypad beeping) -(ringing over cellphone)

-(Junior over cellphone) Boss? -Van As, Eugene. I know the name.

Check the database. I wanna know who he is.

-(Junior) Copy that. -Now. I need to know now.

(instruments playing)

(Johnny) Um.

Okay.

Welcome everyone to the Shangri-La house band auditions.

We're hoping Fingers is gonna be here soon,

but until then I think we should just start.

Let's make this happen.

(instruments playing)

-(Ishara) Hey! -Hi.

Pregnant lady coming through, welcome.

You can take a seat, we'll start in a minute.

(Johnny) Okay.

Hey.

-Desert Rose? -Ja.

-How far? -Are you driving?

-Ja. -Ten minutes.

-Thanks. -Hey, can...

Can you give me a lift?

I don't know you, man.

If you came for the flowers, you're wasting your time.

I'm not here for that.

Okay.

Deal's a deal. You better tell the cops I was with you that night.

The cops? Wait, you never said it was for the cops.

Jana.

If I end up in jail, I'm taking you down with me.

-I'm gonna leave Patti. -Yeah, right.

-I mean it. -What?

-I've made up my mind. -Gus, no.

I.. (scoffing) I can't lie to her anymore.

Okay, Gus, whoa. Get a grip.

Being honest is not fair on Patti, it's selfish.

Well, I don't care.

-I can't live with myself anymore. -You can. You do.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Jeepers, you're having a panic attack.

-I feel calm. -Gus.

If this gets out, Lucy will find out.

And she's not gonna forgive either one of us.

Okay.

(seagulls cawing)

Hey, my love. How you doing?

Hi, I'm Layla Williams.
