‪-[Jonasi coughing]
‪-[crickets chirping]

‪[breathing heavily]

‪[coughing]

‪[exhales sharply]

‪[dramatic music playing]

‪[Jonasi coughing]

‪[grunts, breathing heavily]

‪[coughing continues]

‪[Joyce] ‪I see you've decided
‪not to take your medication.

‪[Jonasi] Where have you been, hmm?

‪Have you forgotten that I'm your husband?

‪I'm your husband. Do you hear me?

‪-Listen here.
‪-[moans]

‪Get some Vaseline.

‪Do it yourself, you b*stard.

‪-[screams]
‪-I'm a b*stard?

‪I'll show you what a b*stard is.
‪I'm a b*stard now, Joyce?

‪You're hitting me?

‪-Jonasi, you're hitting me? Your wife?
‪-What are you doing? Don't you dare.

‪You're hitting me? Jo!

‪-[Jonasi] ‪Joyce!
‪-[Joyce] ‪You're hitting your wife?

‪-[Joyce] Jo!
‪-Listen here. I said listen here.

‪[whimpers]

‪You're my wife, you hear me?
‪I'm not your piece of sh*t!

‪Do you hear me?

‪-You and I will be separated by death.
‪-[Joyce breathing heavily, whimpering]

‪You hear me? We're going to be
‪separated by death, you and I, Joyce.

‪-Do you hear me?
‪-[Joyce whimpers]

‪[Jonasi coughing]

‪-[birds chirping]
‪-[gentle music playing]

‪[birds squawking]

[sniffs] Mmm.

[exhales sharply]

[bag thuds]

[sniffles]

‪[Mpume] ‪Uh, speaking of results…

‪I've already drafted a gift list
‪for all my six distinctions.

‪Good girl. Wow. That's my girl.

‪-[Mpume chuckles]
‪-[Jonasi] Look at you.

‪[Jonasi] You'll be working
‪alongside Daddy real soon.

‪[Mpume] ‪Four in.

‪-Full house. [chuckles]
‪-[gasps]

‪Wait, so you were bluffing
‪this whole time?

‪You definitely take after your father.
‪I'll give you that.

‪No, no, no. Never.
‪The one who took after him is you.

‪Doesn't he always call you…
‪[imitates Jonasi] …"Daddy's little girl"?

‪-[chuckles]
‪-[Menzi] "My little girl."

[cries]

[Jonasi] ‪Do you want me
‪to bring you thing?

-[Mpume inhales sharply] ‪Hmm.
‪-[Jonasi] ‪Mmm. No.

-[Jonasi] My goodness.
‪-I'll text you if I think of anything.

Yeah, bye-bye.

-[Joyce chuckles]
‪-[Jonasi] Wow.

-Love you.
‪-[Mpume] Love you too, Dad.

[cries]

[song ends]

-[door closes]
‪-Oh, my goodness.

[Lindani exhales sharply]

-What are you doing here?
‪-Oh, stop being a nuisance.

I'm here to get my dad's clothes.

Okay, take his clothes and leave.

‪So this is your life now?

‪Living like a dog.

‪Living in filth.

‪I said take your father's clothes
‪and leave.

‪No worries. I'm leaving, you little sl*t.

‪-Excuse me?
‪-Oh, whoa.

‪I said you're a disgusting little sl*t.

‪Mpume, you need to respect me
‪because I'm like a mother to you now.

‪-Get out of my house. [scoffs]
‪-Your house?

‪-This is my house.
‪-Since when?

‪Didn't your father tell you
‪that this house is now under my name?

‪[chuckles]

‪Lindani, why are you doing this?

‪You were never my friend.

‪[scoffs]

‪Mpume, you have one problem.
‪You know what?

‪You think you're so superior
‪and better than everyone else.

‪Can't you see that you're the problem?

‪Sarah slept with your man.
‪[chuckles] Your own sister.

‪And now,
‪your friend is sleeping with your dad.

‪-Piss off.
‪-What are you doing?

‪-You're full of it.
‪-What are you doing?

‪-I'll show you.
‪-Mpume! [grunts]

‪I'm going to beat you up.
‪I'm going to hurt you.

‪-Get off me! Get off me!
‪-I'll show you.

‪[dogs barking]

‪-[Mpume] No ways. Don't put it there.
‪-[Joyce] Just a little bit.

‪-I need to so you can heal.
‪-[door opens]

‪-[Mpume] It stings.
‪-Just a little bit.

‪-[door closes]
‪-[Mpume] Don't put any on there.

‪[exclaims] No, no, no.
‪What's wrong? What happened now?

‪[scoffs] That idiot Lindani scratched me.

‪Why did she scratch you?

‪She went there
‪to get your father's clothes.

‪She kept pushing me.

‪She kept saying that place is now under
‪her name and that Dad gave it to her.

‪-[tense music playing]
‪-Gosh.

‪He wouldn't do that, would he?

‪[grunts, exclaims]

‪-Don't you need my help?
‪-[groans]

‪You leave me alone. [coughs]

‪Leave me alone.

‪Move.

‪-Move.
‪-I didn't come here to fight.

‪-I'm just trying to help you.
‪-I said piss off.

‪-Wow.
‪-Piss off!

‪[exhales sharply, coughs]

‪[sighs]

‪[grunts, exclaims]

‪[sighs]

‪[hopeful music playing]

‪-Stop being stubborn, Gomora.
‪-[exclaims]

‪-No, come this side. Who's being stubborn?
‪-Yeah, but you do need help, though.

‪Come this side.
‪Don't let me fall. Don't let me fall.

‪[knocks on door]

‪Joyce, it's me. I'm here to see Jonasi.

‪Joyce, open.

‪No way. k*ll me right now.

‪I have a right to see him.
‪He's my husband too.

‪Mmm.

‪I hear you, but unfortunately,
‪he's still sleeping.

‪He's in no shape to see visitors.

‪-Visitors?
‪-Mmm.

‪I'm his wife and you know that.

‪Keep your voice down.
‪We're in the suburbs.

‪Stop being selfish.

‪Where were you when I was feeding him,
‪bathing him, cleaning him?

‪When I was changing his linen?

‪You were here in your suburbs
‪sitting in this mansion of yours!

‪You didn't care what happened to him.
‪[clicks tongue]

‪Whoa. [chuckles]

‪I was quietly waiting for you
‪to finish your speech,

‪but my no means no, Essie.

‪[melancholy music playing]

‪[scoffs] Okay.

‪Please give this to him.

‪It's soup.
‪His favourite that I made for him.

‪To show I still care about him.
‪Since you won't let me in.

‪[door slams]

‪No, uh-uh. Don't give me that look.

‪Your father is gravely ill.

‪Wow.

‪[grunts]

‪Won't you take this and throw it
‪down the sink. It doesn't smell good.

‪Oh, come on, Mom.

‪Sarah, listen, you won't believe.

‪That b*tch Joyce,
‪she won't let me inside the house.

‪I didn't even see your father.

‪Mom, if Dad wants to see us, he'll
‪make sure that he does, no matter what.

‪I'm sure of that.

‪I know you and Essie
‪have a painful history.

‪-Uh-uh.
‪-But,

‪-she is still his wife.
‪-Mpume.

‪Have you forgotten that she is one
‪of the reasons why our family fell apart?

‪-That's not entirely true, Mom.
‪-[stammers] Mpume, I said stop.

‪[stammers] Just talk to Magesh.
‪See what he can do. This is not right.

‪No, Mom. No. Also, I have to go now.

‪-You know he's sick--
‪-[phone beeps]

‪Sarah.

‪Sarah.

‪Weren't you the one
‪who was always lecturing me?

‪Talking about boundaries and setting them?

‪You'd judge and look down on me
‪every time I ran back to your father.

‪And now here you are talking like this?

‪The person standing before you, Mom,
‪hardly has friends.

‪I'm single, and I don't trust anyone.

‪I don't want to live in the past, Mom.

‪And you shouldn't either.

‪[sighs]

‪-[crickets chirping]
‪-[dogs barking]

‪-[Menzi grunts]
‪-[bottle cap opens]

‪-[grunts]
‪-This is for you. [grunts]

‪Young Gomora.

‪[both chuckle]

‪You know that if your mother and sister
‪were to find out

‪that you've been sneaking in here,
‪bringing me beers…

‪-[laughs]
‪-…they would surely k*ll you.

‪-Wow. [laughs]
‪-Mmm.

‪Well, it's just that

‪-women can be too emotional sometimes.
‪-Mm-hmm.

‪You know, I have no idea
‪how you managed to marry three of them.

‪[chuckles] No ways.

‪-Wow.
‪-[exhales sharply]

‪[exhales]

‪The biggest mistake I've ever made…

‪was doing that.

‪-Mmm. [coughs]
‪-Yeah.

‪[Jonasi exhales sharply]

‪You know, Dad, it feels good
‪to just hang out with you.

‪Mmm. [exclaims]

‪[both chuckle]

‪Even I don't remember
‪the last time I sat with you

‪-and had a nice cold one.
‪-[chuckles]

‪Well, I can say that, uh, that's my fault.

‪Oh?

‪But now I see now that you were just
‪trying to make a man out of me.

‪-Mmm.
‪-What it truly means to be a real man.

‪[Jonasi] ‪You're the firstborn, right?

‪So why are you acting weak
‪when you're my son?

‪Listen here.

‪You're going to start working at J&J
‪and earn your keep.

‪-Your mother spoiled you.
‪-[Joyce] Don't hit him.

‪-What are you doing?
‪-[Mpume] Mom.

‪I'm gonna discipline you guys.

‪-I'll start with you.
‪-[Joyce] No! Stop it!

‪-[Joyce] Jonas, stop!
‪-[Mpume whimpers]

‪-[Jonasi] What do you think you're doing?
‪-[Menzi grunts]

‪[grunting]

‪[exhales]

‪[birds chirping]

‪[Joyce] Is the food ready?

‪[Grace] Well, yeah, and the end is near
‪for him. You can just see.

‪-It's over for him. [chuckles]
‪-No, no, no. Don't play like that.

‪What if the kids hear you?
‪And then what, huh?

‪-Gosh, don't do that.
‪-[phone buzzing]

‪Just pass me one of those.

‪Oh, my gosh.

‪-Come on. [exclaims] Leave me alone.
‪-[phone beeps, locks]

‪Why won't Essie just give up already, man?

‪Wow. Disgusting.

‪-[Magesh] Leave the kid alone.
‪-[Menzi chuckles]

‪Dad.

‪Here's some water.

‪[grunts]

‪Take a sip.

‪[grunts]

‪-[coughs]
‪-Oh, no.

‪-You see.
‪-[coughs, exhales sharply]

‪Here, take another sip.

‪[grunts]

‪[exhales]

‪[grunts]

‪[inhales shakily]

‪-Dad.
‪-Hmm?

‪Why don't you wanna say it?

‪Say what?

‪You know… [chuckles]
‪…after all you've done,

‪you know, I've never heard you say,
‪"My daughter, Dad is sorry."

‪Mpume.

‪[clears throat]

‪Is that how you talk to your father now?

‪I'm your father.

‪You know what?

‪I've spent a lot of time
‪thinking about this.

‪Gomora,

‪from today onwards,
‪I want you to know that I forgive you.

‪Nkazimulo.

‪-[Magesh] Look at him run.
‪-[Menzi chuckles]

‪[Magesh] He's surely grown up. [chuckles]

‪[Jonasi] ‪You know, your mother…
‪[exclaims]‪ …when she was younger,

‪she was full of herself.

‪She'd call me Rex.

‪-[all laugh]
‪-[Mpume] No ways.

‪-[Jonasi] That's what she called me.
‪-A township dog.

‪She said I'm a dog. [laughs, coughs]

‪With rabies.

‪-[coughs, exclaims]
‪-Dad, take this.

‪[Jonasi groans, coughs]

‪Son, I hear that you've been spending
‪more time with your father.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-That's good, very good.

‪[sighs] Well, uh…

‪Gomora is still my father.

‪And I'm learning a whole lot from him.

‪[Magesh] I never thought I'd ever
‪hear those words from you. [chuckles]

‪-[Menzi chuckles]
‪-Let's toast. There we go.

‪[chuckles]

‪[Magesh] Hmm?

‪-[Menzi] Yeah.
‪-There we go.

‪-[Mpume] Oh. Cake.
‪-[Magesh] Oh, wow. Wow.

‪-Look at you.
‪-[Nkazi chuckling]

‪-[Magesh] Wow, Joyce. Look at that cake.
‪-[Mpume] Cake!

‪-Whose cake is this?
‪-[Menzi chuckles]

‪-It's yours, Gomora.
‪-[Jonasi] Wow.

‪[Mpume] Oh, wow.

‪We want to wish you a happy birthday.

‪Oh.

‪[all singing] ♪ ‪Happy birthday to you‪ ♪

‪Uh-huh!

‪♪ ‪Happy birthday to you‪ ♪

‪[Magesh] Oh, yes.

‪♪ ‪Happy birthday, dear Daddy‪ ♪

‪[Magesh] You heard that?

‪♪ ‪Happy birthday to you‪ ♪

‪-[Magesh cheers]
‪-Hip-hip!

‪[all] Hooray!

‪Dad, make a wish.

‪Uh…

‪-[Jonasi grunts]
‪-Uh…

‪Wow, Joyce.

‪If there's one person who's always
‪made my birthday special, it's you.

‪It's always been you.

‪[coughs]

‪Nkazimulo, come here.

‪-[Jonasi] Come, son. Come help Daddy.
‪-[Joyce] Go to Daddy.

‪-Go to Daddy.
‪-[Jonasi] Boy.

‪[grunts] Blow… Blow out the candle there.

‪[blows]

‪-Wow.
‪-[Joyce] Again.

‪-Another one. A big one.
‪-[all chuckle]

‪[all] Yay! [chuckling]

‪["libali" playing]

‪[Xolani]
‪Have you really forgiven your father?

‪[Mpume] Yeah, I had to.

‪You see,
‪and I know my parents f*cked me up,

‪but then I figured it's because
‪their parents f*cked them up

‪and someone just had to break the cycle.

‪And I'm guessing it was me.

‪Mmm.

‪Um…

‪[song continues]

‪Joyce.

‪[breathing heavily]

‪It's cold.

‪[inhales sharply] I'm feeling cold, Joyce.

‪[breathes heavily]

‪[coughing]

‪I can't put another blanket on you.

‪I mean, you're sweating already.

‪[coughing]

‪Please climb into bed with me.

‪-Please, Joyce.
‪-[song ends]

‪[Jonasi breathing heavily]

‪[breathing heavily]

‪[coughs]

‪Thank you.

‪[coughs] Thank you, Joyce.

‪I have a request.

‪Please forgive me.

‪For everything I've done to you.

‪[exhales, coughing]

‪[exhales sharply] Joyce, I'm scared.

‪I'm going to leave you here on Earth.

‪I'm really scared.

‪I'm scared, Joyce. [coughing]

‪[breathing shallowly]

‪-Jo, you need to stop talking now.
‪-[coughing]

‪You and I don't have
‪much time left together.

‪[coughing]

‪-Let's just lay here.
‪-[wheezing]

‪Together.

‪You and I.

‪J and J.

‪[breathes shallowly]

‪-Just the way it was always meant to be.
‪-[coughing]

‪["Bomibam" playing]

‪[Jonasi] ‪Is there a bun in the oven?

‪-Is this our little Mlungisi Gomora?
‪-Oh, stop.

‪There we go.

‪[Jonasi] I'm proud of you.

‪We did this.

‪-Together.
‪-Together.

‪[both chuckling]

‪[exhales sharply]

‪-Yes.
‪-[chuckling]

‪-[Joyce] Mmm.
‪-[Jonasi] ‪Is that my name I hear?

‪-Thank you.
‪-[both moan]

‪[Joyce] Don't forget to come back with
‪something nice for Nkazi.

‪-[Jonasi] Damn.
‪-[Joyce chuckling]

‪[Jonasi] This suitcase is already heavy.

‪-Oh, well.
‪-[Joyce] You're the one who packed it.

‪[dogs barking]

‪[song ends]

‪-[birds chirping]
‪-[children laughing]

‪[Ntombi] Mr Gomora!

‪Oh, my! Oh, my! Mr Gomora! Mr Gomora!

‪[screams]

‪[sobbing] Mr Gomora is no more. [cries]

‪[Mpume] What's wrong? Dad?

‪Dad! Dad!

‪[sobbing] Ntombi, what happened?
‪Wake him up!

‪-[Ntombi] I don't know. I don't know!
‪-[Mpume] Ntombi, make him wake up!

‪-This cannot be happening? Oh, my God!
‪-[Ntombi] Oh, my goodness!

‪-[Mpume] Dad! Ntombi!
‪-[Ntombi] I'm trying to save him! Help!

‪-Oh, no!
‪-[Mpume sobbing, speaking indistinctly]

‪[exhales sharply]

‪[Ntombi] Quick, get the ambulance, please!

‪-[breathes sharply]
‪-[Ntombi] Oh, my God. Where's the phone?

‪[breathes heavily, sobs]

‪[sobbing]
