01x05 - The Past is Not Dead

[bunniefuu]

I'm never drinking
again.

Why were you up so early?

I couldn't sleep.

Yeah, you’re probably still
a bit shaken from yesterday.

You used to be such a strong swimmer.

-Out of practice, I guess.

And as for you... you were
about to jump in and rescue her.

-She didn't need me.

No, but it’s the
thought that counts.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Themba?

Themba?

Mmh.

Yola?

I don't understand where she's gone.

She just needs a bit of space.
Don't worry about her, she's fine.

I do worry about her.
I can't help it.

She's going to be fine,
so we have to go.

-I'm going to be late for work.
-Okay.

Yoli?

Yoli?

This is safer for the both of us.

Too dark?

Clara.

Open up Mom.

There you go.

I met someone, Mom.

It's really nice.

Well, he's different. So...

Don't look at me like that.
I think you'd like him.

You would.

He's a gentleman...

So... did Yola come visit yet?

Come on, one more.

You look tired today,
maybe you never get some sleep.

Okay, come.
Give this to me.

Okay, keep it.

See you soon.

Are you leaving?

What is it to you?

I'm sorry.

-I was wrong.

-I made a mistake.
-That makes the both of us.

-What's wrong?
-Not your problem.

Just pay the man, would you?

Do you know him?

I owe some money to
some dangerous people.

How much?

Enough to buy a gravestone.

I can help.

I mean, I can lend you the money.
Consider it a down payment

-on the land claim.
-You can't buy me.

I'm not your dog, Yolanda.

That land belongs to my forefathers.
It's Lazarus who has to decide.

I saw him.

Where?

In the dam.

He was under the water.

-He was under the water?
-Yes, he was under the water.

He dragged me under.

-He grabbed my under!

Okay.

Lindiwe?

What are you doing?

I forgot my combination.

But this is not yours.

27?

"All the children go to heaven".
Remember?

Of course, thank you.

Clara.

This is you, right?

What did my father do?

I found this in the caves.

You need to tell me what happened
there.

What did my father do?

Clara?

-Don't do that, just...

I just need you to tell me what...

-No, no, no, don't do that. Just...

What did my father do to you?
Clara, please. Just...

What did my father do to you?
Just all I need you to tell me.

Yolanda.

This woman has been traumatised
enough.

I just need to talk to her.
I just need to know...

Why is Clara here
and why was she admitted?

Ben? Ben?
10mgs of Ketamine immediately.

Please,
that's all I need to know.

Can you please calm down,
you’re upsetting my patients.

Well, I am
one of your patients.

-Or at least I was.

Can we please discuss this
somewhere else.

No.

What were you treating me for?

Why was I put on anti-depressants
so young?

You were suffering
from chronic enuresis?

-Yeah, what does that mean?
-Bed wetting.

You couldn't stop.
But that's hardly surprising

considering what you
and your sister went through.

This has got nothing to do
with my mother.

She tried to gas you all.

k*lled your sister.

Now, the human mind is
very good at repressing trauma,

but doesn't just go away.

-I want to see my file.
-That is not possible.

-Why not?
-You were a minor,

-it’s restricted.
-Yeah, I'm no longer a minor. Am I?

You seem quite agitated.

I'm fine.

I believe you've run out
of medication.

Your family are very worried
about you.

Now, you shouldn't stop
your medication so suddenly.

It's very dangerous.

You should wean yourself off.
Otherwise,

you could be prone to all kinds
of unmanageable feelings.

I'll give you something
that will help,

take the edge off.

Thank you.

We all have your best interests
at heart.

Hm.

Hi.

-Can I help you?
-I need to speak to someone.

Sisi.

I'm someone.

-A female officer.

We don't have those here.

Well, can I speak to
the person in charge then?

Able, I found the figures
of the...

It's nice and warm.

-Come, let me get you out of this.
-Mm-mm.

-Clara?
-No!

Okay, okay, you can climb
in with your clothes.

Warm water is good for you.

Let me wash your hair, hm?
You'll feel better.

Come.

What did you say?

What did you say about me?!

Sorry, what?

Do you think that's funny?

I heard what you said about me.

Who told you?

Who told us what?

What stop playing games with me.
Who told you?

Yola. Yola. Yola, hey.

Hey ladies. Hello.

What's going on?

This chick thinks
we were talking about her.

-I am not crazy! I am not crazy!
-Yola.

-Yola. Yolanda. No.
-I am not crazy!

-I am not crazy!
-Go home! Yolanda.

I am not crazy. Leave me!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me.

Yola.

-Not cool.
-They were taunting me!

You were the one that told me
I have to know how to listen.

Yola!

Lindiwe?

What are you doing?

Lindi?

-Hi.
-Hi.

Uh, I saw Yola today.
She came by my work.

-What? The station?
-Yeah.

Why? What did you want?

-She wanted to open a case.
-Arg, no, man.

I've been through this with her
already.

-What? She told you?
-Yes.

There's no ways my dad was m*rder*d.
It was an accident.

No, it's not that. She, um,

What?

She wanted to speak to a female
officer.

Why?

Look, your sister, is she
okay? Could she make something up?

-Like what? I don't understand.
-Like...

Like a sexual allegation.
Could she make something up about..?

What are you saying? Just..?

Okay, something happened last night,
but it was nothing. It was...

It was something.

Okay, Dirk, just stop talking in
circles. Tell me what happened.

Get her out of that damn bath,

dry her and give her medication
as instructed!

-Get out of my way.

I said move out of my way!

-Come, Clara.

Nurse Zita, what has gotten into you?

I think my father interfered with me.

You mean..?

My sister, probably too.

Maybe some of the girls
from the school.

Are you sure about that?

I'm not saying that,
you know, it's just...

It comes back in bits and pieces.

Just flashes.

Here are these.

I found a peephole in the ceiling,

from the attic into Sienna’s room.

Yola, I...

I feel I wouldn't
be saying this loudly.

Just think about truth.
Just think about perception.

You're the girl that...
You hear voices in taps.

The house is trying to tell me
something.

Okay, but to me it's not
that self-evident. Okay?

You don't believe me?

No. No. No.

What do you mean?

In this town, I'm the
one person who believes you.

But I hide in plain sight.

I know a little something,
about something.

If I were you,
I'd leave this the hell alone.

Maybe...

it was just me.

But it's not.

Nothing good will come of it.

You know, this town, look at it.
Look at.. Look at those people.

It's civilised.
They have tea. They eat cake

It's perfect on the outside.

The surface is calm, it's friendly.

But underneath,
there's a lot going on.

It's been that way for centuries.

People do not want that to change.

Sometimes change
is good, Nola.

Even if it's difficult.

She did what?

I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

Your aunt attacked me.
She tried to drown me in the bath.

No, that's impossible.
She'll never do that.

We have it on camera.

-Why's she tide up?
-For her own safety, and ours.

Ma Lindi.

When she comes around.

Tell her,
she no longer has a job here.

She broke my glasses.

Sorry for interrupting.

It's not me you should be
apologising to, it's Allegra.

-They were taunting me.
-About what?!

You can't go around
attacking my girls!

I need to speak to you.

-Allegra keep an eye please.
-Yes, ma'am.

Do you remember when I was a
child, I was put on antidepressants?

Yes.

When?

After Kristi died.

That's what he also said.

-Who did?
-Doctor Nel.

He said he put me on
antidepressants after Kristi died.

Because I was wetting my bed.

Your father had to put plastic

safety sheets
over the mattress to protect it.

How was he?

You know, as a dad with...

Sienna and I.

He loved you both, very much.

And you loved him very much.

You used to say, you couldn't wait
to grow up to marry him.

Isn't that a bit odd?

Father's are their daughter's
first love, they set the example.

Why did he open
a girl's school on the farm?

Yoli?

You know why.

To protect them, so they wouldn't
have to walk into town.

Right?

-Ja.
-Listen I...

I can't do this right now.
I have to get back.

So I'll come by
the house after school, okay?

I thought you fixed her.

Rudolph!

Hi.

You hear the one about the new
detective and your girlfriend?

Should I have?

Yeah well, I saw them
at the nursery together.

Very close.

What you going to cool all day?
I know it hurts.

Why are you here Max?
You wanna pick at the scab?

No, look I did some research.
Okay, very interesting guy.

Turns out he had to leave Warmbath.
Stalking his ex girlfriend,

and the new girlfriend.

-What?
-Yeah.

Had to leave town, can't go back.
Get his job back.

Well, that interesting,
but why are you telling me this?

Because she's Jacobs daughter.

She's one of us.

I don't think we should
let an outsider inside her.

You are what you eat, though.

Just look at this Aunty Dora.

This half fish, half woman.

It's the local myth.

-It's Mamlambo, right?
-Yes.

So how about these?

This woman
with the tattoo on her back.

I mean they are very intimate.

Was she his lover?

Well, he was very handsome.

I don't know.

Okay, what about the polaroids?
Are the school children?

They're the girls from my school,
and I took these photos.

They were the models
for his paintings.

Okay, but what about Clara?

I mean, she's in Fort Vannenburg.
What happened to her?

What are you saying?

I found a peephole.

I found a peephole directly
into Sienna's bedroom.

I mean, how do you explain that?

-That is a hole in the ceiling.
-It's a peephole Aunty Dora.

-Into his daughter’s bedroom.
-I've heard enough.

He was my brother.

And your father.

Have some respect.

He came into my room.

Singing my name.

He made me touch him.

I remember now.

And do you remember
what happened in this kitchen?

Do you?

-What do you mean?
-I do.

I remember coming home from church,

with your father.

I know I remember the smell of gas.

And I remember him
pushing against the door.

And finding
his daughter against it.

Don't.

Blue in the face.

And I remember him, weeping.

And laying his daughters on
the grass next to each other.

He loved you so much.

Which is more than
your mother can say.

She is sick.

-She is evil.

Themba?

You two are the daughters
I never had.

And I love you both so much.

And he loves you both so much.

I'm sorry.

Come and give me hug.
