[bunniefuu]

Their hit man failed,
yet they're pointing fingers at me.

It's a mess.

I apologize for not being there
when you needed me, sir.

It's okay.

We don't have time for that right now.

What are we gonna do about the premier?

Leave it to me.

Uncle.

Are you busy?

Please leave the door open.

What is it?
Is this because of what happened?

Because I am someone's wife.

I'm married, Dumisani.

Yes, my marriage has it's problems,
but I have a family.

Khanyi,
you know what happens when we're together.

You can't fight this feeling.

Get rid of the madness at home.

- Sibande?
- Yes.

The commander
wants to see you in his office.

- What? Right now, Vela?
- Right now.

Do you have any idea who he is?

Did you arrest him?

- No, but I was...
- Please release him.

Release him.

Make sure you apologize
when you release him.

That's bullshit.

You see, if you don't do this,

be prepared to go back,
pack your things, and get out of here.

And don't even think about
going to the union

because that union
is chaired by Vusi Ndlovu.

All right, Commander.

I sincerely apologize
for keeping you for so long, Mr. Ndlovu.

These dinner events we're hosting
are the hottest thing in Durban.

Everyone wants to eat at the chef's house.

And, Zakhele and I
are fully booked for the next two months

because people love our vibe, right?

Aw, we're blessed.

Well, let me get this basket behind you.

And take it downstairs.

You exaggerating, sis. What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Khanyi, this company
has never been hit like this before.

We're running out of time to pay back
the money you borrowed from the Arabs.

If we don't get this money,
we'll lose all our hotels.

I know, Mom, but I'll sort it out.

Now listen, Mandlakayise has a plan.

He's even found someone
who wants to buy 20% of Spear.

I heard, Mom.

Siya told me.

But I can save this company.

I have a plan, Mom.

What plan?

Khanyi, you keep saying you have plans.

Plan after plan,
but not one of them has worked, my child.

Why don't you let Mandla sell this 20%
and step down from your position?

What if I refuse, Mom?

Will Mandla force me to step down
like he does with everyone else?

No, Mom.

I don't want to argue with you.

What I am going to do

is show you that
I deserve to run this company.

For Dad's sake.

Dad!

How are you, Dad, huh?

How's Mom? How's everyone at home?

- Where's Mom? Is she out...
- Listen, calm down, okay?

Your mother is fine.

She wanted to join me,
but something came up.

I said...

I said calm down. Calm down.

We have the whole day to catch up.

Ma'am, here's your wine.

I thought about that too.

I know coming here wasn't the smartest
idea, but I had to come so we could talk.

About what, Dad?

About you coming home.

You need to return and tell the truth.

Yes, I'm serious.

You have to return
and tell the truth, Nido.

If that's what
has to happen, Nido, then yes.

I'm tired of that.

I'm g*y.

I've always been living a lie.

I had to do that for the company
and the family.

It ends today.

You and I need to sit down and think,
and see what we come up with.

It's up to Siya and what he wants.

Siya wants to embarrass the family.

How exactly, Gabisile?

They'll write about him everywhere.

Every newspaper.

Is that what you want?

How about when he's sitting
in boardrooms trying to make money?

Do you think they'll take him seriously?

I don't even want to mention his mother.

Okay, tell me then, Gabisile.

Do you think, as a child,

I ever imagined my future husband
leaving home to visit g*y men?

Long before you were even in the picture?

But that doesn't change how I love her,

and it doesn't change how I love you.

It's just that now...

we're getting a divorce.

Do you want a polygamous relationship?

I'll give you that, okay?

It'll be him, you and I.

If he wants to spend
more time with you, I'll allow it.

He has my blessing
to spend more time with you,

but I'm begging you,

I don't want him to disgrace the family.

Well, unfortunately,
that's not up to me, Gabisile.

Listen.

I will not allow him
to humiliate the family.

I can promise you that.

I know it's hard for you
to accept that I'm g*y.

You have to do this.

Goodness, Thuli.

She's going to mess things up for us.

She hasn't had alcohol in years.

Something must've happened.

I never, ever,
ever want to see your Dad again.

That's okay, Thuli.

Let me get her an Uber.

In this condition? We can't.

Then let her sleep.

I'll check if everything is still okay.

I think you're just tired.
Let's talk about this later, okay?

I don't know anymore.

It looks like Siya wants to destroy
everything we've built.

That doesn't sound like Siya.

He would never do such a thing.

Mom, you don't know him the way I do.

Gosh. Have some tea.

Thank you, Mom.

What do you mean I don't know him?

I don't even know how to tell you this.

Siya...

Siya is g*y.

Of course Siya is g*y.

You knew all along?

He's my child, isn't he? Of course I know.

But tell me, what changed?

I thought you guys were happy.

I don't know, Mom. Maybe...

Maybe it's this Nido ordeal.

What I know is that Siya is destroying
everything we've worked for.

Never. I can not allow that.

I'll stop it.

Thank you, Mom.

If this gets out,
it would be an embarrassment.

If anyone tries to wreck things...

I will end them.

Dad.

Zakhele? Son, what are you doing here?

We need to talk about...

What's this b*tch doing here?

You know that woman
is a curse to this family.

Don't you dare touch me! You hear me?

That sh*t ends today!

Never again, Mandla!

Now it all makes sense.

Now I know why she did it.

Stop speaking about your mother like that.

- No, I'm not.
- I'm warning you.

I'm not talking about Mom.
I'm talking about Thuli!

She's drinking again.

Since when? Where is she?

She knows that Mom k*lled herself
because of that woman.

You're disgusting, Mandla.
You're an animal.

One that eats anything, even it's young.

First, it was Mom.

Then it was me. Now, it's Thuli.

Where is your sister?

At my place.

Where she's safe.

Dad.

I love you with all my heart,

but you're triggering me
with what you're doing.

Just stop it.

Think about your family.

Think about Thuli.

Are you complaining?

No.

My word! What are you doing?
