[bunniefuu]

‪[Jonasi] ‪Where are you going?
‪Can I just talk to you?

‪[Joyce] ‪You're sleeping
‪with your daughter, Jonasi!

‪-Your daughter! What's wrong with you?
‪-Joyce, it's not what you're thinking.

‪-Joyce! Let's talk. What are you doing?
‪-[shushes] I don't want to talk.

‪-Leave my clothes.
‪-I said leave!

‪-What are you doing?
‪-I have nothing to talk about!

‪-I want us to talk.
‪-Talk about what? What do you have to say?

‪-I want to explain.
‪-Talk about what?

‪-Calm down.
‪-I don't want to talk to you!

‪-[Mpume] Let her go!
‪-Calm down.

‪-Hey, hey, hey! You stay out of this!
‪-[Mpume screams]

‪-What are you doing to the child?
‪-Why are you getting involved?

‪-Do you see what you've made me do?
‪-Now you're hitting the child?

‪-Hey, hey, hey.
‪-Leave me alone!

‪-Leave me!
‪-Let go of my mother, you b*stard!

‪-Menzi. Menzi.
‪-Who do you think you're you pushing?

‪You think you're a man now?
‪You've got ba*ls?

‪-[Joyce] Jonasi.
‪-I'm asking, do you have ba*ls now, huh?

‪-[Mpume] Mom. Mom.
‪-[Joyce] Leave him alone.

‪-You're a grown man now?
‪-[Mpume] Mom. Mom.

‪-You see, the both of you…
‪-[belt unbuckles]

‪-…you haven't been disciplined.
‪-[Joyce] Talk to the kids. Don't hit them.

‪-Your mother spoiled you.
‪-What are you doing?

‪-[Mpume] Mom.
‪-I'll discipline you.

‪-I'll start with you.
‪-[Joyce] No!

‪-Dad, what are you doing?
‪-What are you doing?

‪-[Joyce] Menzi!
‪-[Mpume whimpers]

‪[Jonasi] Look at this boy.
‪What are you doing?

‪-Menzi!
‪-[Mpume screams] You're hurting him!

‪What are you doing?
‪You think you can take me on?

‪[distorted screaming] No! Stop it.

‪-Stop it!
‪-[Mpume] Leave him alone! Dad!

‪[all clamoring]

‪-[Menzi screams]
‪-[Mpume] No! Dad!

‪-Don't hit me again!
‪-No! Dad!

‪-[knocking on door]
‪-[officer 1] Police!

‪-[sirens wailing]
‪-[officer 2] It's the police.

‪[officer 1] It's the police. Open!

‪[panting] You called the cops on me?

‪Joyce, you called the cops on me?

‪-Come.
‪-[Lindani] Mom!

‪-What's going on? What?
‪-There she is! That wicked woman.

‪-Huh?
‪-Do you see what you've done to my child?

‪-Look! Look!
‪-[Joyce] Yes. I hit her.

‪-Look what you've done. What's this, huh?
‪-[Jonasi] My goodness!

‪-And I'll do it again.
‪-Joyce. Joyce. Joyce. Joyce.

‪-I'll do it again. I'll do it again!
‪-[Mpume] Mom! Mom!

‪-You disrespectful little brat!
‪-You see? Please arrest her.

‪You brought the police into my house.
‪Are you insane?

‪Did she tell you what she did?
‪Did you tell your mother?

‪That you opened your legs.

‪-No, Joyce.
‪-I found her naked

‪-in the bathtub with my husband!
‪-Joyce.

‪-[Sis Dolly] What?
‪-[Joyce] You're disgusting.

‪You're busy spreading your legs open…

‪-No.
‪-…with your own best friend's father?

‪Joyce, my daughter, she's been visiting
‪your home since she was eight, man!

‪[Joyce] Exactly!

‪And all this time, I've been
‪treating you like my own daughter.

‪[Sis Dolly] Oh, wow.

‪So this means you allow your husband
‪to r*pe your daughter? You evil witch!

‪-[Jonasi] Whoa! What are you saying?
‪-You're disgusting!

‪-I didn't r*pe anyone here.
‪-Mom, he didn't r*pe me. We're in love.

‪-Hey! f*ck off and shut up!
‪-I'll kick your a*s!

‪-Who do you think you're in love with?
‪-Let's go.

‪Arrest this witch of a woman!

‪-[Sis Dolly] Arrest her! Send her to jail!
‪-[Mpume] You're hurting her.

-[Jonasi] I'll fix this, Joyce.
‪-Hey!

[officer] Hurry up.

-You're hurting her!
‪-Hey, shut up.

-Lock her up and throw the key away.
‪-Move it.

-f*ck out of my face.
‪-Move.

-Goodness!
‪-[Jonasi] Don't fight the police.

-I'll fix all of this.
‪-Piss off! Piss off!

-My goodness!
‪-I'll fix this.

-[Mpume] You b*stard!
‪-She messed with the wrong one.

-She's getting arrested.
‪-[dialing]

You! Your turn is coming, you evil man.
‪You're Satan!

You, go. Go!

Lock her up!

-[siren wailing]
‪-[groaning]

[Matipa]
‪Is this the wh*re who gave me gonorrhea?

[breathing heavily]

[dog barking in distance]

[melancholy music playing]

[sighs]

[sniffling]

[snipping]

‪[sobbing]

‪-[photos ripping]
‪-[sniffles]

‪[breathing shakily]

‪[dramatic music playing]

‪[music stops]

‪[Magesh]
‪What's this nonsense you're doing?

‪-That's a child.
‪-[scoffs]

‪-Your daughter's best friend.
‪-Hey, Mpume, stop it.

‪So you came all the way here
‪to give me a sermon?

‪-You f*cked up and you know it, right?
‪-Excuse me?

‪We're here to work, Brother. Hmm?

‪We're running a business.

‪You cannot be running
‪business as usual.

‪People out here think I encourage and
‪protect all this nonsense you're doing.

‪-Can't you draw the line?
‪-Hey, piss off, man!

‪[elevator dings]

‪Do you want to work here
‪or do you want to leave?

‪Make your decision.

‪-[Buhle] Matipa, wait.
‪-[door opens]

‪I'll show you who I am
‪if you dare touch me.

‪Don't touch me. I'm warning you.

‪You.

‪You think you can ignore me
‪until I go away, after the sh*t you did?

‪You're sleeping with kids, Jonasi?
‪Is that what you're doing now?

‪Call security.

‪[scoffs] Is that for me, the security?

‪I need you to calm down
‪so we can sit and talk properly.

‪[Matipa] Call your security. If they dare
‪touch me, Jonasi, see what happens next.

‪[guard clears throat]

‪What's with you? What?

‪[scoffing] Oh. [chuckles]

‪[clicks tongue] I'm leaving.

‪Not because of you, but because I want to.

‪I don't know why the hell you're
‪staring at me like that. [clicks tongue]

‪[siren wailing]

‪-[Grace] Joyce.
‪-Mmm?

‪When we get home, I'll run you
‪a hot bath, my child, with course salt

‪so you can relax.

‪-I feel so filthy.
‪-No, no.

‪-I just…
‪-Stop stressing.

‪I'm sure the tests results
‪are going to say you're okay.

‪-[doctor] I am sorry, ladies.
‪-[door opens, closes]

‪I wish that I had come
‪bearing better news for you.

‪But unfortunately
‪you've tested positive for an STI.

‪You'll take these two pills,
‪three times a day.

‪Then you'll take one of these,
‪twice a day for seven days.

‪And please, abstain from sexual activities
‪while you're on treatment.

‪[chuckles] I also hope that, um,
‪Mr. Gomora is also getting treatment.

‪Are we done?

‪[knocking on door]

‪Hello, Mpume. How are you?

‪[exhales] I came to find out
‪what happened?

‪So it's true,
‪what they're saying about Lindani?

‪You know what happened, Sarah,
‪so don't play dumb.

‪Tell me, what are you doing here?

‪I came to check on you, Mpume. Wow.

‪You and Lindani
‪were very close, so--

‪Just like you and I. We were close.

‪Till you went ahead
‪and threw yourself at my boyfriend.

‪Do you remember that?

‪It was a cry for help, okay?

‪Sarah, go f*ck off and cry some more.

‪Ugh. Disgusting.

‪[door slams]

‪-[pensive music playing]
‪-[inhales deeply]

‪[dialing]

‪Hey. [sniffles]

‪Yeah, I'm okay. Um…
‪I was just checking if you're busy?

‪Can we meet?

‪Yeah. Okay.

‪[phone beeps]

‪I didn't know that you like golf.

‪Dad's always on the course.

‪So I thought,
‪maybe I should learn how to play

‪so we could play together.

‪[Magesh] Oh, yeah?

‪But honestly, I've never played with him.

‪[golfers chattering]

‪But some people say it's a great way
‪to, um, blow off some steam.

‪[Magesh] Oh, okay.

‪-[Sarah grunts]
‪-Hey! What's wrong, girl?

‪[stammering] Sarah, don't--

‪[breathing heavily]

‪-[screams]
‪-Sarah.

‪-[whimpering]
‪-[stammers] Sarah.

‪-[screams]
‪-Sarah!

‪[sobbing, gasping]

‪I'm sorry, my baby. I'm sorry, my child.

‪Come here. Come here. I'm sorry.

‪-[sniffling, sobbing]
‪-I'm sorry, my child.

‪I'm so sorry.

‪[exhales]

‪[sighs]

‪[door opens]

‪-[Joyce] Oh.
‪-[door closes]

‪Hey.

‪[grunts] Don't start. Do you hear me?

‪I don't have time for you.
‪[stammers] Don't start.

‪Don't start with your shenanigans.

‪You haven't even cooked.

‪-Don't you cook in this house?
‪-[fridge door closes]

‪Why didn't you cook?

‪Listen here, Joyce.

‪And listen to me carefully, okay?

‪I want you to listen.

‪What's this?

‪[ominous music playing]

‪[Jonasi] I asked you a question.

‪What is this?

‪Don't shout.

‪-I'm not shouting.
‪-Don't shout at me.

‪I asked you a question.

‪What are you trying to do?
‪Why did you do this?

‪What do you want from me?

‪What's the meaning of this?

‪Why did you cut up our family photos?

‪I'm the one who cut those pictures.

‪[chuckles] Would you like to know
‪why I did that?

‪-Because I hate you.
‪-[Joyce exhales]

‪You hate me?

‪What's he doing here?

‪-What are you doing here?
‪-Wow.

‪Listen here, my boy.

‪The crap you're asking me,

‪you should ask me when
‪you have your own house. Understood?

‪Move out of my way.

‪-[Mpume] That's what he's good at.
‪-You. You should discipline your children.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-Understood?

‪Talk to your children.

‪[Menzi] f*ck it. I've had enough of this.

‪[footsteps departing]

‪-There's no need at all…
‪-Wow.

‪…for you to get into bed.

‪Ntombi prepared the guest room.

‪Oh, wow.

‪Guest room?

‪This is my house, Joyce.

‪I'm not a guest.

‪[sighs, grunts]

‪[sighs]

‪What did I ever do to you?

‪To deserve such hate from you?

‪[inhales]
‪Despite all I've done, especially for you,

‪-I still love you.
‪-Love shouldn't humiliate.

‪Love shouldn't hurt, Jonasi.

‪[sighs] Here we go.

‪And all this time I've been
‪deluding myself, hoping that you and I…

‪We could somehow get back
‪to the way we used to be.

‪But I see that's not going to happen.

‪I want a divorce.

‪[chuckles] That's not happening.

‪You've depleted
‪the love I once had for you.

‪-[Jonasi] Mmm.
‪-There's nothing left between you and I.

‪It's over. I've had enough.

‪The only way I'll be leaving

‪is the day when they put me
‪in a coffin and bury me.

‪That's when you will get rid of me.

‪-[dramatic music playing]
‪-[fire crackling]

‪-[footsteps approaching]
‪-[Joyce] Greetings.

‪You know, Mom, I don't know
‪if my eyes are deceiving me,

‪but I think I see Jonasi over there.

‪[Menzi] What the hell
‪is he still doing here?

‪He refused to leave.
‪What was I supposed to do?

‪He refused?
‪What's so hard about calling the police?

‪-Get a protection order.
‪-Hold on, Menzi.

‪Don't speak to me like that. Goodness.

‪That man is a dog. You can't change that.

‪Things are going to be
‪different this time.

‪-How, Mom?
‪-[clicks tongue]

‪-[Joyce] Menzi.
‪-[Menzi] No, Mom.

‪Exactly how, Mom?

‪Mpume. [stammers]

‪Oh, well, it's all up to you now.

‪[Joyce] My gosh.

‪Joyce.

‪Can you see this marriage
‪is going to k*ll you?

‪You gave up your career.
‪Now you're going to lose your kids.

‪My god. Mom, please stop.

‪Why are you tiptoeing around him, Joyce?

‪-What do you want from him?
‪-[grunts]

‪[pensive music playing]

‪[exhales]

‪-[Matipa] ‪Life has put us through hell.
‪-[Joyce scoffs]

‪An STD, though, Matipa?

‪STD.

‪[sighs] I'm such a fool.

‪Yeah, that makes the two of us.

‪As we're speaking, he's at home, lounging.

‪-Lounging…
‪-[sighs]

‪…without any care,
‪like he's done nothing wrong.

‪You now, I pray to God that he
‪doesn't even try to muster the courage

‪with that ego of his
‪to show up at my house

‪because I will honestly pour
‪boiling water over him.

‪He'll show up.

‪He's also your husband, right?

‪Hmm?

‪You married him. [scoffs]

‪One thing that is evidently clear…

‪is that I'll never be enough for Jonasi.

‪I don't think anyone
‪can ever be enough for Jonasi.

‪[Joyce scoffs]

‪-[crickets chirping]
‪-[dog barking]

‪[knife chopping]

‪[suspenseful music playing]

‪[Jonasi] Wow.

‪[ominous music playing]

‪Mmm.

‪[chuckles] Mmm.

‪-Delicious. Mmm.
‪-[Joyce chuckles]

‪[Jonasi] Oh, wow.

‪Mmm.

‪[music continues]

‪[Jonasi sighs]

‪Mm-hmm.

‪Mmm.

‪This is what they mean when they say

‪a way to a man's heart
‪is through his stomach.

‪There we go. There we go.

‪[sighs] Mpume.

‪Baby, please wait.

‪Wow.

‪It's late now.
‪Can't you reconsider staying for a day?

‪-Mm-mmm. No, no.
‪-Two max.

‪[sighs]

‪You're disappointing me.

‪I'll be all right.

‪I'm staying at a friend's house.
‪From there, I head to Stellenbosch.

‪I know I've mentioned this before,
‪but I need you to hear me.

‪All right?

‪I'm going to fix this.
‪One way or the other.

‪Okay?

‪Trust me.

‪Please remember,

‪everything I'm doing
‪is for you and your brothers.

‪And…

‪I love you.

‪More than anything.

‪-Yeah?
‪-Mmm.

‪Okay.

‪I'll call you, okay?

‪-Okay.
‪-It's getting late, Mom.

‪[sniffles] I'll call you when I get there.

‪Okay.

‪Safe travels.

‪Bye, Mama.

‪[car beeps]

‪-[car door opens, closes]
‪-[engine starts]

‪[door opens]

‪What are you doing?

‪-[chuckles]
‪-Hmm?

‪-What are you doing? [chuckles]
‪-We're playing.

‪-Hey?
‪-[Joyce] You're playing?

‪-[chuckles] Yeah.
‪-I see.

‪-Mom, what are you doing?
‪-[Joyce] Oh, stop.

‪-I'm asking if you connected here?
‪-[Menzi] It's connected.

‪-Okay.
‪-[typing]

‪I want us to dance.

‪-Mm-hmm.
‪-[Menzi chuckles] Come on. No ways.

‪Remember how we used to dance
‪when we were young?

‪-[Menzi] Ah, Mom. [chuckles]
‪-Huh?

‪["Paradise Road" playing on speaker]

‪-[chuckling]
‪-No way. No, no. No way.

‪Come on. No. Don't be a bore.

‪-Get up. Come show me.
‪-Come on. Why?

‪Do you remember how we used to dance? Huh?

‪Remember when you were young?

‪-No, Mom.
‪-Do you remember?

‪["Paradise Road" continues, muffled]

‪[sighs]

‪[Joyce laughs]

‪Let's dance, boy!

‪-[chuckles] Let's dance!
‪-Come on, Mom.

‪[voicemail] ‪Hi, this is Essie.

‪-I can't take your call right now.
‪-[grunts]

‪-[grunts]
‪-[line ringing]

‪[voicemail] ‪Hi, this is Lindani.
‪Please leave a message.

‪-[Joyce chuckling] Yes!
‪-[Menzi chuckling]

‪[all chuckling]

‪-[all chuckling]
‪-[Joyce] My boy!

‪[groans]

‪[retching]

‪[groans]

‪[groaning]

‪["Paradise Road" continues]

‪[groans, echoes]

‪[Sis Ntombi screams, distorted]

‪-Wait. What was that?
‪-Uh-uh. No, no.

‪Don't pay attention to that.
‪It's probably the neighbors.

‪[singsongy] You know they love to fight.

‪-It's their thing. Don't mind them.
‪-[Menzi chuckles]

‪-Ma'am! Joyce!
‪-[groaning]

‪-Mpume!
‪-[splutters, coughs]

‪-Mr. Gomora! Mr. Gomora!
‪-[groans]

‪Ma'am, come!

‪-Sir, what's wrong? Oh, no!
‪-[groaning]

‪[Sis Ntombi wails]

‪["Paradise Road" continues]

‪[Nkazimulo laughing, distorted]

‪[laughter continues]

‪["Paradise Road" continues]
