01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

‪[Joyce] ‪You show up to the celebration
‪whether you like it or not.

‪[Jonas] ‪It's over between you and I.
‪You need to accept that.

‪[emotional music playing]

‪[detainee] That dog. [scoffs]

‪That b*stard
‪actually called the police on me?

‪-[chattering]
‪-[scoffs]

‪Yes, I did scratch his car.

‪But after everything
‪he has done to me? [scoffs]

‪He was busy sleeping around
‪with all those b*tches he came across.

‪Then he gives me HIV?

‪A*DS? [scoffs]

‪What I did was not enough.

‪I should have grabbed him
‪by the ba*ls and castrated them

‪because that's what makes him feel
‪like a man.

‪We'll see if he can cheat then.

‪You must think I'm crazy, right?

‪[scoffs]

‪I am not crazy.

‪And then you?

‪What's a beautiful lady
‪like you doing here?

‪[Joyce scoffs]

‪My husband's side chick got me arrested.

‪I burnt down our old house
‪that we used to live in,

‪with both of them still in it.

‪[laughing]

‪Girl, you are the b*mb.

‪You burnt it? You burnt the house down?

‪Why didn't I think of this?

‪I should've burnt
‪his house down, the b*stard.

‪-It's a pity they survived. [scoffs]
‪-b*stard.

‪You know,

‪we have a party.

‪To celebrate our 20th anniversary.

‪And it's happening soon, in a few hours.

‪And me,

‪I'm here.

‪And what about my kids?

‪Nkazimulo is just a baby.

‪Everything I've worked for
‪my whole entire life…

‪I'm going to lose it.

‪Happy anniversary, Sis.

‪[Jonas] You called the cops?

‪What were you thinking?

‪I don't get you.

‪[chuckling]

‪Jonas.

‪-What did you want me to do?
‪-Listen, and let me tell you something.

‪As the Gomoras,

‪we don't air our dirty laundry in public.

‪-At all. Yes.
‪-Really?

‪Was I supposed to lie to the cops?

‪After we both almost got burnt alive?

‪I don't like
‪a woman that doesn't listen to me.

‪-[chuckling]
‪-Oh, you think this is funny?

‪Jonas.

‪So, I'm the bad guy now?

‪While Joyce almost burnt us alive?

‪-[car door opens, closes]
‪-She's the mother of my children.

‪-[Menzi] Dad! Dad!
‪-[Mpume] Dad!

‪[Jonas] Mpume? Menzi?

‪Wow. Mom is in jail, and you're here
‪lounging like nothing's wrong.

‪-It must be nice.
‪-You chose to do nothing and not help her?

‪-[stutters]
‪-[Mpume] You don't care about us.

‪[stammers] Listen, Mpume.

‪I will fix this, okay?

‪I promise you.

‪The event only starts at 3:00.
‪Why are we leaving so early?

‪Hey. I want to arrive early
‪so I can be in the front-row seat.

‪Joyce is celebrating an anniversary
‪with a man she doesn't live with.

‪-[laughs] She's really lost her mind.
‪-[Freedom] I don't care about all of that.

‪Oh, no!
‪Mpume says Aunt Joyce has been arrested.

‪-[Essie] What?
‪-[Freedom] What?

-Where did you see that?
‪-Right here.

Apparently, she's the one
‪who burnt the old Gomora house, Ma.

-Wow.
‪-[laughs]

‪I underestimated Joyce.

That means there's no party.

‪Let's forget about all of this.

‪-Yeah, you're right.
‪-Wait, wait, wait. We're going there.

‪Now I'm really eager
‪to see what's going to happen.

‪-Huh?
‪-Yes!

‪You think I'd want to miss that drama?
‪Come on, let's go.

‪-Let's go then.
‪-Let's go, children.

‪[Sarah] ‪But, Mom‪…

‪[siren wailing]

‪[people chattering]

[warden] Joyce Gomora!

-[pounds bars]
‪-You got bailed.

-Come. Your husband is outside.
‪-[bars unlock]

-[cell door opens]
‪-Joyce Gomora?

No, man!

Yeah, I knew you looked familiar.

[radio chatter]

Listen, girl.

You know what? I'll DM you, okay?
‪You must respond. [chuckles]

[engine turns off]

Hold on, Joyce.

‪My publicist

‪is on standby as we speak

‪to take our joint statement

‪and to announce our divorce.

‪[dramatic music playing]

‪Oh, my God.

‪You know what, Jonas? I'm tired

‪of trying to fight whatever potion
‪this girl has clearly used on you.

‪You can have your joint statement.

‪I'll sign your divorce papers.

‪[inhales] Yeah. [sighs]

‪[scoffs]

‪But…

‪only after the party.

‪-Party?
‪-Mm-hmm.

‪Do you want your freedom or not?

‪No, no, no, no. Not in that way.

‪[operator] ‪You have 34 voice messages.

‪[Sophie] ‪Hey, Joyce.

‪I just want to confirm
‪my attendance to the anniversary event.

‪[Trinity] ‪Joyce, Trinity here.

‪I just want to confirm my‪…

‪[Sophie] ‪Joyce, we're definitely going
‪with the pink and white arrangement.

‪Joyce, I need
‪to go over the final touch-ups.

‪Nkazimulo,
‪will he be walking you down the aisle?

‪[clicks tongue] Whatever.

‪-‪Hi. You're speaking to Joyce.
‪-[line ringing]

‪[chuckles] Yes. No, no. I'm all right.

‪I wanted to talk to you about something.

‪I know what I'm going to say will be…
‪[chuckles] …a bit unusual.

‪But…

‪[dramatic music playing]

‪…I need your help.

‪[door closes]

‪-Ma.
‪-Mmm, baby.

‪So, you're really going ahead
‪with this, Ma?

‪Tell me, how long are you going to let
‪that man of yours treat you this way?

‪That man you're talking about
‪is your father. Let's not forget that.

‪Oh, Mom,
‪you deserve so much better than this.

‪My goodness! What's wrong with you?

‪This is marriage.

‪-You don't walk away so easily.
‪-In other words, you're saying that

‪if another man were to do the same thing
‪that Dad is doing to you, you'd be happy?

‪[jazz music playing]

‪[chattering]

‪[whistles] My brother. Give me two.

‪-[scoffs] There's Mrs. Party.
‪-[scoffs]

‪[Essie] She's acting like
‪everything is fine. She's so fake.

‪[Freedom] But, Mom, you have to admit,
‪she looks good, though.

‪You're pissing me off now.

‪Thank you.

‪Thank you, Ma.

‪[hopeful music playing]

‪[Joyce] What if he doesn't arrive, Thembi?

‪Friend, maybe you should wait for him
‪in the bridal suite, you know?

‪-Just in case this person…
‪-Uh-uh.

‪[dramatic music playing]

‪Joyce, where's Mr. Party?

‪I'm very excited to meet him in person.

‪Uh, he's on his way.
‪You'll see him shortly.

‪Really? He's coming?

‪-[both chuckle]
‪-Matipa.

‪I'm so happy to see you.

‪How could I dare miss
‪such a big and beautiful event?

‪-[Trinity] Mmm.
‪-[Joyce] This is Matipa.

‪-Uh, she's a…
‪-[Matipa] Family friend.

‪Of the Gomoras.

‪Actually, closer than that.

‪You see, Joyce and I are practically

‪sisters.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-You see that?

‪Joyce, aren't you gonna make
‪the big announcement?

‪-What announcement?
‪-[Matipa] Don't worry, I'll fill you in.

‪You see, as we're standing here, Joyce

‪and Jonas

‪are

‪-officially…
‪-[Jonas] Greetings.

‪[exhales] Ooh!

‪Ah. Thembi. You're here.

‪-Ma.
‪-My son.

‪Yeah. My wife.

‪My love.

‪My love.

‪[Joyce chuckling]

‪-[moans] Don't you want it?
‪-Not here, love.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-[Jonas] What?

‪-That's late-night activities. Not here.
‪-Ah, stop it.

‪[Joyce chuckles]

‪-How rude of us.
‪-Ah.

‪This is Trinity Cele,
‪the one I'm always talking about.

‪-Oh, Cele. You look gorgeous.
‪-Yes.

‪-Yes.
‪-Aren't you the one getting married here?

‪-[Joyce] My goodness! [laughs]
‪-[Jonas] I'm just asking.

‪-We'll be back.
‪-We'll be right back. Enjoy yourselves.

‪-Mr. Gomora.
‪-We'll be right back.

‪-We're happy to see you.
‪-Thank you, sir.

‪-It's good to see you, sir.
‪-God bless you.

‪-Amen. Amen.
‪-You can go ahead and have a seat.

‪-We'll be right there with you.
‪-Amen.

‪Oh, so the wild dog decided
‪to finally come?

‪-Oh, I'm the dog?
‪-Yes, you are.

‪-Don't you know that?
‪-How would this dog not come, though?

‪Especially because you spoke
‪to the minister's wife

‪-to threaten my tender.
‪-Mm-hmm.

‪-Joyce, how low can you go?
‪-You know what?

‪I'd even go
‪to the depths of hell if I had to, Jonas.

‪-Hell is exactly where you belong.
‪-Yes, hell. Don't you dare tell me that.

‪-Look at this. [stutters] What?
‪-Hey, hey, hey, don't.

‪-Don't touch it.
‪-I'm fixing my husband.

‪-I'm your husband now?
‪-My husband…

‪-Yes! It's our company together, Jonas.
‪-You're holding my company hostage. Oh.

‪-[Magesh clears throat]
‪-It's like that now.

‪-Uh, no! [laughing]
‪-[Jonas] Did you see me? Oh!

‪-Oh, my, Minister! [laughs]
‪-Greetings.

‪-Hello, darling.
‪-Who are we to be graced by your presence?

‪-You look so good.
‪-Thank you. You look good too.

‪-For us?
‪-Thank you very much.

‪Okay, now I want to
‪thank you very much for partnering

‪-with us on the bridge construction.
‪-Yes.

‪-Right.
‪-And this tender is very important to…

‪[minister's wife] You got this tender

‪because my husband and I
‪believe in the both of you.

‪-Oh.
‪-And the fact that you guys believe

‪in family principles and values.

‪My admiration for Joyce as a wife
‪goes way back.

‪We backed you, Jonas and Joyce.

‪-You're a package.
‪-[Jonas] Mmm.

‪[minister's wife] Mm-hmm.

‪-Let me take you to your seat…
‪-Oh, thank you.

‪-…so we can enjoy the festivities.
‪-Of course. Yes.

‪-My hubby, do you like it?
‪-All right. All right.

‪-[Joyce] My brother-in-law. [chuckles]
‪-[Magesh] My sister-in-law.

‪[chuckling] My sister-in-law.

‪-And then?
‪-[Jonas sighs]

‪What's going on here?

‪She ran off to the minister.

‪-Huh?
‪-Mm-hmm.

‪She got him to threaten the tender.

‪-You know what that means?
‪-What?

‪We're renewing our vows today.

‪It's going down.

‪[chattering]

‪[peaceful music playing]

‪[Joyce] ‪"Love is patient.

‪It is kind.

‪Love does not envy.

‪Love is not proud.

‪It does not dishonour others.

‪It is not self-seeking.

‪Love does not delight in evil.

‪But rejoices the truth.

‪It perseveres through everything.

‪It always trusts.

‪It always hopes."

‪I still love you.

‪-[shutter clicking]
‪-I don't think I'll ever stop.

‪[attendees applauding, ululating]

‪[clicks tongue]

‪[attendee whistling]

‪[sniffles] Okay.

‪-Hold on.
‪-[chuckling]

‪-[chuckles] No, stop it.
‪-Let me. What? Still.

‪[Magesh] Everyone knows that I…
‪I am not a man of many words.

‪-[Joyce chuckles]
‪-However, I felt compelled

‪to say something today.

‪It's no secret that my younger brother
‪and I had a rough upbringing.

‪But for him, it was worse.

‪It was worse
‪because he was a dreamer, you know?

‪But then things changed.

‪Joyce arrived.

‪-[all laugh]
‪-Yes, my sister-in-law.

‪This lady fought

‪-to open doors for this man.
‪-[shutter clicking]

‪[chuckles] What made Jonas love this lady

‪was the potential she saw in him.

‪She saw that he was a great man.

‪He once said, "With this woman by my side,

‪I will take over the world."

‪Twenty years later,
‪the job is not done yet.

‪Keep at it.

‪Conquer.

‪I'm talking too much now.

‪This thing of talking… That's what
‪happens when you marry someone like Essie.

‪-[all laugh]
‪-She's always talking.

‪You end up just like her.

‪No, no, no.
‪Let's raise our glasses, please.

‪To Jonas and Joyce.

‪To everlasting love.

‪-Cheers!
‪-[attendees cheering, ululating]

‪[Magesh] Cheers! Cheers.

‪-[shutter clicking]
‪-[gentle music playing]

‪-[attendees cheering, whistling]
‪-[attendee] Cheers!

‪So, are you going to sign the papers
‪after this show of yours?

‪[chuckling] Hmm?

‪-Jo.
‪-What?

‪What exactly made you stop loving me?

‪-[Freedom grunting]
‪-[shutter clicking]

‪I will not wait forever.

‪Understood?

‪Uh-uh, uh-uh.

‪Smile.

‪Everyone is watching.

‪[Joyce chuckling]

‪-[chuckles]
‪-Everyone is watching

‪the spectacular show of yours.

‪-[Joyce] Mmm.
‪-[Jonas] Mm-hmm.

‪My beautiful queen.

‪-Yes.
‪-[attendees cheering, ululating]

‪[laughs]

‪Menzi.

‪Why are you alone here?
‪The party's out there.

‪No, I needed some air.

‪How do you need air when we're outside?

‪Is that Tom Ford you're wearing?

‪Yes… [stutters] Why?

‪Because I love a man that has money

‪and power.

‪And smells good.

‪Don't sit here alone. Let's go dance.

‪Come on, Menzi! [chuckles]

‪[singing] ♪ ‪Let's go dance
‪Let's go dance‪ ♪

‪♪ ‪Let's go dance, let's go dance‪ ♪

‪[laughing]

‪Come on now, bro.

‪Now you just keep missing your chance.

‪Who said I missed my chance?

‪Oh, come on. What's wrong
‪with just grabbing her like this

‪-and landing a wet one?
‪-No, no, no, no.

‪That's sexual as*ault.

‪Was it sexual as*ault when she kissed you
‪while we were clubbing?

‪Get back in the game.

‪You are Menzi.

‪Aka Me-Me Gomora.

‪-[Freedom laughing]
‪-Hey, Gomora!

‪Hey, security. Go inside and get me

‪-Jonas Gomora right now.
‪-The guy from the club.

‪His brats messed up my club.

‪I'll do so, but you can't go inside.

‪-Hey, you little shits!
‪-Sir. Sir.

‪-Hey, hey. Watch it. Watch it!
‪-Sir. Sir.

‪You're sitting here
‪all alone playing games

‪while everyone's having a good time.
‪What's wrong?

‪Nah, I'm just tired, Dad. Nothing much.

‪-You're tired?
‪-Yes. [chuckles]

‪You owe me a dance.

‪-Yes.
‪-I want to dance with you, okay?

‪[both chuckle]

‪-Uncle.
‪-Yeah?

‪We have an issue outside. We need you.

‪-I'll be right back. We will dance.
‪-Okay.

‪Okay. [chuckles]

‪Jonas! Gomora!

‪-I said I wanted to talk to Jonas.
‪-Uh?

‪The boss of this place. Not his servant.

‪My boys told me what happened.

‪Can we resolve this?

‪-Mmm.
‪-Shame on you for coming.

‪-Your daughter invited me here.
‪-There's no such.

‪You thought Jonas wouldn't come,
‪didn't you?

‪And look how that turned out for you.

‪Leave Jonas alone. Forget about him.

‪I have nothing to say to you.
‪Fetch Gomora.

‪Come to my office some other time
‪and we'll fix this.

‪But today, it's my brother's anniversary.

‪Oh, f*ck off, please.

‪What's wrong with you?

‪Shouldn't you be taking
‪some medication somewhere?

‪You're starting to get on my nerves.

‪This is why I wanted the boss.

‪Hey, fatty. Didn't you hear me clearly?
‪Fetch Gomora right now!

‪You see,
‪the problem with having a lot of money,

‪-people begin to think you're soft…
‪-[laughing]

‪-…and forget you're from the township.
‪-[laughing]

‪-What are you trying to do?
‪-[grunting]

‪[groaning, coughs]

‪-[upbeat music playing]
‪-Piss off.

‪[groans]

‪So, this is the homewrecker
‪you've been talking about?

‪That's her, Mrs. Msomi.

‪You need to get your hands off
‪other women's husbands.

‪-What the f*ck is wrong with you?
‪-You jezebel.

‪You two are witches.

‪You're the firstborn.

‪Grow some ba*ls.
‪Learn to fix your own problems.

‪-Do you hear me?
‪-Yes.

‪[sighs] Piss off.

‪[glass clinking]

‪[no audible dialogue]

‪[Jonas] Greetings, everyone.

‪You know, there's something about today

‪that has given me time to reflect.

‪I remember
‪the first time I laid my eyes on you.

‪Your radiant smile, Joyce.

‪You captured my heart.

‪You are my rock.

‪And my life.

‪I owe everything that I am today

‪to my wonderful wife.

‪And my beautiful family.

‪[scoffs]

‪Happy anniversary, Joyce.

‪[attendees applauding, cheering]

‪[thunder rumbling]

‪You know,
‪Gomora, you have a great woman here.

‪-[Jonas] Mmm.
‪-[Mr. Msomi] Never forget that.

‪Amen.

‪[Joyce] Please allow me
‪to walk you to your car.

‪[Mrs. Msomi chuckles] Certainly.

‪Thank you.

‪-[Mr. Msomi] Okay?
‪-[Essie] I'm constipated.

‪-Yeah.
‪-[Essie] I woke up in the morning.

‪Mm-hmm.

‪-Safe journey, Msomi.
‪-Thank you.

‪-[exclaims]
‪-There you go.

‪[Essie] Whose car do you think
‪you're taking? I said, "No way!"

‪I fought!
‪They don't know who I am. I went…

‪-Brother.
‪-[sighs]

‪Essie is embarrassing us

‪in front of our colleagues.

‪-Sort it out.
‪-Okay.

‪-[thunder rumbles]
‪-[Magesh] Essie, it's time to go home.

‪[Essie] Why? Why? Why?

‪-Come on. Hurry up.
‪-Oh, Magesh. You're such a party pooper.

‪-You're ruining the vibe.
‪-There is a lot of alcohol at home.

‪-Come. Let's go.
‪-Joyce bought this alcohol

‪-for us to drink. Why?
‪-[Magesh] Now, stop there. Let's go.

‪-[Essie] What's your problem?
‪-[Matipa] What the hell is going on?

‪The only reason I came to
‪this stupid party was to humiliate Joyce.

‪Now it feels like the joke is on me.

‪[grunts] Do you think this is
‪an appropriate time to talk about this?

‪Is Joyce still going to sign
‪those divorce papers?

‪Jo, I'm talking to you.

‪I'm talking to you.

‪Jo. [inhales sharply]

‪[crickets chirping]

‪[dog barking]

‪There was no need for you
‪to drive me all the way home

‪just to make sure
‪that I signed your papers.

‪I miss you.

‪I miss you, Joyce.

‪Jo… [stammers]

‪I miss you, my love.

‪[exhales sharply]

‪[upbeat music playing]

‪[inhales sharply] Jo…

‪[Jonas breathes heavily]

‪[Joyce moans]
