01x04 - The Election

[bunniefuu]

[Mbali] What the hell are you doing here?

[Mrs. Hadebe]

Is that how you greet your mother?

Shh. Not out here.

I'm trying to erase that we're related.

[upbeat music playing in background]

[Mbali sighs]

So what have you done now?

Pack your bags. [in Zulu] We're leaving.

[in English] What? Why? Where?

Moscow. One of my old party contacts is

faking an illness for me

[in Zulu] that can only be treated there.

[in English] Wait, Russia?

Yeah. It should buy me enough time

to convince the president [in Zulu]

to stop this commission of enquiry.

- [in English] Or, at least delay it.

- [Mbali chuckles]

And how do you expect

to pay for all of that?

The less you know, the better.

[in Zulu] Where's my bag that you stole?

[in English] I am not going

anywhere with you, Mom!

People like me here.

I have friends. Real friends. And

there's even a boy.

I just have worked way too hard

to dump all this and start over.

I'm not going anywhere

with your dirty money.

[scoffs] [in Zulu] My money

is dirty all of a sudden?

I don't recall

you complaining back in Jo'burg.

What changed?

[in English] Things change.

Oh, my!

You know, sometimes in life you have

to play dirty to get what you want.

Is that what helps you sleep at night?

[in Zulu] I'm heading off to Gqeberha.

I'll be staying at the Radisson.

My flight leaves in the morning.

Aha! [in Zulu] You thief! This is my bag.

[in English] I bought it

with my dirty money.

- [indistinct chattering]

Friday night. One night only.

Uncle Drip, live. See you there.

Dude, you're like HPV.

You just won't go away.

[sighs]

Thanks.

Look at those numbers.

So before the Junior TRC thing

I was down to like 18,000.

Now we're back like we never left.

- All thanks to you.

- Hmm.

Maybe I should start charging you

for my services then.

Maybe I should just make you

social media manager when I get elected.

I could use you on my team.

I could think of many

ways you could use me.

And you can use me

as much as you want when

you run for president in your third year.

Well, that's if I'm still around

after my mom's commission of enquiry.

- What? Are you leaving?

- Maybe.

This commission could be months.

The lawyers need to be paid.

We haven't achieved

free education yet. So

Don't worry about it.

I'm sure the commission

won't take that long.

[chuckles]

You're cute, but you don't know my mother.

Brenda Hadebe's motto is,

deny, deny, deny.

Then get creative.

You're Mbali Hadebe, after all.

No?

["Spin my world" by DJ Kent playing]

Um I er I need to go.

I thought we were going to grab

- a quick bite or something.

- Yeah but Pearl is waiting for me.

How about we all get together

for a drink some time? Yeah.

- Mbali.

- Hmm?

I'm glad we bumped

into each other on the first day.

I guess it was meant to be.

[Upbeat music continues to play]

[whispering] It was meant to be.

[Mbali sighs]

[sniffs]

[exhales]

[chuckles]

Too late.

[in Zulu] I'm already on way to Gqeberha.

[in English] You'll have to find

your own transport to the airport.

Enjoy Russia.

You know you won't survive

without me. Right?

It's been two months, Mom.

And I'm about

to join the presidential team.

The SRC subsidizes fees and accommodation.

So that's me set for the year. I'm good.

[in Zulu] When you

find yourself in a bind

[in English] don't call me.

And when you get arrested, don't call me.

[Mbali exhales]

[hip hop music playing]

[Natalie] Let's just go.

You know your card doesn't work here.

[Jay huffs] Oh, my word!

Sir, the way you set up these servers

oh, it's masterful.

Well, those are the perks of being

- one of my top tech students.

- Yeah.

Only a limited few of you have access.

And please, please don't abuse

the access I've given you. Alright?

We don't want to compromise the system.

Yeah. No, I wont. I swear.

- Good man.

- Okay.

- Alright.

- Thank you.

- Ladies.

- Sir! Goodbye, sir.

[Natalie] Can we please go

because we're supposed

to be about three rounds

into drinks right now?

Oh guys, I wish

you could see it but you can't.

But if you could, it's f*cking beautiful!

Okay, lets not talk about your lame

server room anymore

because we need drinks.

Uh, ma'am, that room

is where the magic happens. Okay?

All the data, access to the Wi-Fi. I mean,

the entire varsity network

is on those servers.

And I'm the only tech student

who has access to it. So

Careful Jay, you might just c*m.

- You know what? I just might. Okay?

- [Mbali laughing]

Being a teacher's pet has its perks.

- Shots. Now. Please! [phone beeps]

- [Jay] Okay, before she dies or something.

- [Natalie] Mbali?

- [Jay] What's up?

My mother just got arrested

at the airport trying to flee the country.

- What?!

- [Mbali] You know

if I went there with her,

I was going to be a meme, again.

[Jay] Are you going to try and call her?

- No.

- [phone clicks shut]

She told me not to.

So now I'm officially an orphan.

Listen girl, you don't need a drink.

You need d*ck! Stat!

Oh, come on Nat 2.0!

She's right! She's right. Look,

you just need something

to take the edge off.

Like a distraction. I mean,

I have Thato, even though

we're taking things slow.

- And Nat has Junior

- I'm actually going to seduce Van Heerden!

excuse me? The Van Hard On?

Yeah. I've got this 20-step plan

of how I'm going

to initiate the seduction.

- Twenty?!

- Twenty?!

b*tch, just show him your cooch!

- Yeah, men are like dogs. Simple.

- [Natalie] Okay,

so who've you been showing your cooch to?

Well, there's only

one d*ck that I wanna ride.

- [Mbali] Yeah.

- [Natalie] Whose?

- [Jay] Who?

- [comic high tempo music playing]

- Uh, my ex! [laughs wryly]

- [Jay] Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I [exaggerated] really miss him.

And he might just come

to Makhanda fingers crossed!

- [Natalie] Okay.

- [Jay] Ooh.

Well, we can always

do something from my list.

[Jay] Okay. Let me look.

[high tempo music continues]

[Jay chuckling] MDMA!

Oh, yeah. We're in for a night.

I think am going to get a pink wig.

- [Mbali] Yeah, pink wig.

- [Jay] No.

You can't take more than one.

- I'm allowed to take as much as

- [Junior] Jay!

I think it's necessary

for me to take myself.

The USB you gave me,

it deleted everything.

My whole laptop. Dead.

[chuckling] That's the whole point.

It's kind of why it's called a virus.

Does it mean I can't get any of it back?

Of course you can. Look

[scoffs] bring your laptop,

and an additional 200 rand tomorrow.

- Okay.

- You'll get your sh*t back.

Okay.

- Hey, Natalie.

- Hey, Junior.

You're looking very Yuno Gasai today.

Less anime murderess kind of way.

That was just a little something

something that I'm trying for a bit.

Okay, this is gross.

You guys need to get a room.

- [Natalie] No.

- [Junior] I love that Um

[Natalie] Um, listen

We got to go. But I'll catch you later.

- [Junior] Sure.

- [Natalie] Friend.

- [Jay] "I'll catch you later friend."

- [Mbali] "Friend!"

[Natalie] Shut up

and let's just go get high.

You know, I can't believe

you made us walk all across town

back to campus just for smoothies.

- [Natalie] What in the X-Men!

- [Jay chuckles]

Ladies, meet Njabulo,

a talented gifted arts major

and the number one MDMA hook up on campus.

- What up, sluts? [chuckles]

- [Jay chuckling]

- So much about this is confusing.

- [Natalie slurping]

[Jay] Mm-hmm.

- [Mbali] Mm-hmm-mm-hmm.

- [birds chirping]

- [Jay] There you go.

- [Natalie] Thank you.

- So we're just going to do this here?

- [Jay] Mm-hmm.

- On campus?

- [Njabulo] It's not about where,

- it's about who you're with.

- [Mbali] Oh!

Amen.

- Cheers, sluts.

- Cheers, baby.

- [high tempo music continues]

- [Jay] There you go.

- [Jay] Drink something.

- [Natalie slurping, chuckling]

[all laughing]

["Hamba Wena"

[all laughing]

["Hamba Wena" continues]

- [music fades out]

- [dog barking outside]

- [Mbali sighs]

- [dog continues barking]

You know, I still can't believe

that I have been partying with Mbali.

The queen from St. Angela's!

Yeah well, I can't believe

that I'm lying in bed

with whole math Olympiad champion.

You remembered that I did the Olympiad?

Oh girl, I was just guessing.

But I guess since now we're best friends,

- I need to remember everything. [sighs]

- [soft music playing]

- We're best friends? [chuckles]

- [Mbali] Don't be weird.

You can trust me

to be weird about everything.

You know what, Mbali?

- You can actually trust me with anything.

- [dog barking outside]

Look Nat about your brother

- I

- [Jay] Thato

oh, lay your lamb in my shawarma.

- [Jay groans]

- [Mbali, Natalie laughing]

- "Lay your lamb in my shawarma."

- [Mbali] "My shawarma." [laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

- [boy1 groans]

- [Aphiwe panting]

[in Zulu] Can't you see?

[Aphiwe] [in English] Sorry.

[boy2] What is wrong with you?

[Aphiwe panting]

[students laughing]

Hey, don't fall!

[in Xhosa] What the hell

are you laughing at? Piss off, man.

Are you hurt?

No, I'm not hurt.

[phone vibrating]

[phone pings]

- [phones buzzing]

- [students chattering indistinctly]

- [phones buzzing]

- [melancholic music playing]

[man] [in English]

We will get to the bottom of this.

yeah definitely.

[Caesar]

No, we will resolve it. Expeditiously.

[in Xhosa] Caesar, is it true

that the fees are being increased?

[in English] I'm going to meet

with the Dean later on

and we will discuss it further.

And then what, Caesar?

[in Xhosa] I'm the first person

in my family to attend university.

[in English] And if the fees really

increase, I'll be forced to drop out.

[in Xhosa] You know I'm not

the only one affected by this.

[all in agreement] Yeah!

Caesar, do you know that

unemployment rate is at

30% in this country?

Caesar, what will we do without

the degrees we have come here to get?

How are we going

to help our families, Caesar?

[in English] Is this the

better future our parents

and grandparents died and sacrificed for?

- No!

- We're being set up for failure

and we need to fight for our future.

- Yes!

- [all applaud]

[male voice1 in English]

Something must be done.

- Comrade Aphiwe is clear!

- [male voice2] Correct.

This injustice cannot

be allowed to continue any further!

- [male voice3] Never!

- Matter of fact,

- fees must fall!

- Yes! Fees must fall!

- Fees must fall!

- Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

Fees must fall!

You know GU's policy, Caesar.

This increases is a next year issue,

and unless you'll get re-elected,

- it's out of your current term.

- [Caesar] Uh-uh.

We all know this policy

is blatant manipulation of power.

No, maybe you should've

spent more time fighting the policy

- and not imaginary colonization.

- [students murmur]

Fine. If you need the new

SRC president to fight the increase,

then let's move the election up.

- Let the people govern themselves!

- [others in agreement] Yes!

Alright.

Look guys, this thing is very simple.

Just put forward an official complaint,

and let the elections happen as planned.

What's so hard about that?

[in Sotho] We all know why you don't want

[in English] this thing resolved

as quickly as possible.

It's because

of your white privilege again.

And this thing has no

consequence on your life.

First and foremost,

you know nothing about my life, Caesar.

So you can shut the f*ck up

when it comes to that!

[in Sotho] Oh, don't get so heated up.

You know you'll be defeated.

[in English] I have no idea

what you just said

but if you want to play it, let's go, boy.

- [Caesar] Bullshit!

- That's all, boys!

- This is not how this works.

- [Caesar] Fine!

Elections, tomorrow.

No, that's bringing it up nine weeks!

- What else is there to do?

- [students murmuring indistinctly]

Well, we've run stress tests

on the proxy servers

as well as an IP debugging

on the app, so we're ready.

Yeah, we still have to to run it

by the overseers for the faculty

and students to get their availability.

- Fine! Get it done.

- [mmh] Excuse me?!

The vice chancellor

will not be happy about this.

Vice chancellor will be less

happy when we burn down the school.

[students murmuring in agreement] Burn it!

- It'll burn.

- [man clears throat]

[in English] Well, that

settles it then, I suppose.

The elections will be on Friday.

- [Caesar] Good.

- [Sivu] Great.

- [Caesar] Perfect.

- [Sivu] Amazing.

- This week everything changes.

- [students] Yeah!

Vote for me as SRC president again

and show them your power.

These fees must fall.

- [in Zulu] Power!

- To the people!

- [in English] We should join the protest.

- What? No.

This guy is exploiting

people's struggles for his own gain.

It's all just performative, babe.

[Sivu] Besides,

he barely has any followers.

- And stealing Graham's bust?

- [Caesar continues indistinctly]

- What about dropping out of the SA team?

- [Caesar] These fees must fall!

Check your privilege, Siv.

- Babe, not you too. Really?

- [Caesar in Zulu] Power!

- Your parents are on the faculty, dude.

- [protesters] To the people!

You don't have to worry about school fees.

Maybe if you joined the students,

you could help them in some way,

instead of just being the white candidate.

[groans]

I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean it

- like that.

- Yes, you did.

I'm sorry that my

real parents abandoned me.

What am I supposed to do about that?

Okay, so

We need to undercut Caesar

and this fees stunt.

This is exactly what I am talking about.

The election is not a game

or a popularity contest.

Just think about whose side

you're really on.

Listen, you are on the winning side.

Okay? You still want to win, right?

- Yeah.

- Good

I'm gonna find Raeesah,

and get you on The Spill.

I have an idea and it involves my ex.

We need a political stunt of our own.

[students whistling]

Okay. Cool!

Pearl!

[students in Zulu] We have no money ♪

Money, money. We have no money ♪

[in English] Hey, hey, hey, Raenbows!

I ever came across ♪

I know I made you mad

I can't wait to be in the

And of course,

- Hi, Bethuel.

- Oh.

So the rumors were true.

You really came to dusty-a*s Makhanda?

You two know each other?

I mean, his latest hit is all about me.

"Mbali" is about you?

[sighs]

Anyway, Bethuel, listen.

I've got a proposal for you.

- What is the biggest problem that

- [tense music playing]

students are facing across the country?

[Bethuel hesitates]

Having to get, er,

Proof of Residence, I guess.

What? No. Fees Must Fall.

What's that gotta do with me?

Host a celebrity fundraiser with me

and one of

the SRC presidential candidates,

who happens to be

an Olympic medalist, by the way.

Look, help these students pay their fees.

I like it.

When LaSizwe did it, he trended for days.

They even wrote about him

on the Global Citizen's page.

And you know who else

works with the Global Citizen?

Jay-Z. I mean,

you could be

the next Nasty C, dynasty continues.

And tell me, what do you get outta this?

- I get to help the students.

- [tense music continues]

I mean, friends like my roommate,

Aphiwe who'll have to drop out

if we don't do something.

- [Bethuel sighs]

- Bethuel look,

I'm not the Mbali that you remember.

Let's do some good.

[Bethuel sighs]

[Bethuel exhales, tuts]

Okay. So we

need to chart a road map.

And we need to action it ASAP.

But, with the advanced

voting deadline set for this Friday,

I think we might

still have a shot. So obviously,

the main thing we have

to make sure is that the app works.

and that the proper

[choking] procedure.

So, er, in terms of registration

[exhales]

[inhales] ID Excuse me, I

[clears throat]

appear to have lost my place.

[Inhales] In terms of

registration voting,

we only would require

a issued voting number.

[indistinct chattering]

I can't believe I'm a soccer WAG.

[sighs]

Few days in and you're

already trying to get "wife-ed up".

[scoffs]

- [Thato chuckles]

- [Jay] Okay.

- [whistling in field]

- [phone beeps, vibrates]

[phone keypad clicks]

[Rae] Raenbows,

Caesar is bringing back 2015.

but will fees fall this time?

Maybe we should join the protest.

And support Caesar?

I'd rather top, thank you.

Someone's not a fan?

He just goes around pretending

that he cares about the students.

But if people actually

knew the truth about him

What, that he keeps finding new

degrees to stay in the SRC?

- No. Um [exhales]

- [wistful music playing]

that he's a closet case

who tried to force himself on me.

[wistful music continues]

I'm sorry.

[indistinct chattering]

You know, I've heard things

about him from the other guys

- I just didn't think

- No.

It's okay.

I'm just glad that I found someone who,

isn't lying about themselves

and taking it out on anyone, you know.

- [Jay sighs]

- [Thato] Um

Look, there's something I've been trying

to figure out how to tell you.

Oh God! Please don't tell me

he's done the same thing.

No.

No.

I'm, um

I'm trans.

[wistful music continues]

[stutters] Sorry?

I started transitioning

after I turned 18 but

but I've always known I'm a man.

And now you tell me?

Well, I didn't have to.

But I like you. So I wanted you

to know everything about me.

[scoffs]

I knew this was too good to be true.

- Okay, what else are you hiding?

- Nothing.

- f*ck!

- [Thato] Jay,

Thato, with me,

what you see is what you get.

With you, I'm not so sure anymore.

[wistful music continues]

[romantic music playing]

Well, that was unexpected.

Seems I was wrong about you.

[exhales]

You have no idea.

[romantic music continues]

[heavy breathing]

[heavy breathing]

- I want you to take my photo.

- [Van Heerden] What?

I want you to take my photos

like one of these girls.

Really? That's very titanic of you!

What?!

[sighs] No I'm serious.

- I want you to do it. Let's do it.

- What?

- What?!

- Let's do it!

Hey!

What are you doing?

are you doing?

This is not about Caesar, man!

A quarter of my class won't graduate

because of this increase.

And just because you're not

getting involved doesn't mean that

I'm cool with chilling on the sidelines.

I'm not saying

chill on the sidelines, Pearl.

All I'm saying is that

be in my camp for a change.

There you are!

You really don't answer

your texts, do you?

Oh, f*cking hell, dude.

Don't you have a test

to study for, a class to attend,

instead of popping up everywhere?

Heal.

Remember Lasizwe and how he ran

some fundraiser on his social media,

to help students pay their fees?

I want you to do the same thing.

Seriously? Sivu doesn't have

- the same reach as Lasizwe

- Which is why

I got in touch with an old friend.

- Uncle Drip. Mm-hmm.

- The rapper?

He'll be joining you

on The Spill's livestream to

raise funds

and encourage people to vote for you

as SRC president.

Then hold the livestream on voting day.

No one will remember Caesar once

- Uncle Drip gets you trending.

- I'm in!

- Sivu, you can't

- I'll just sort out all the deets. Bye!

What?

There's no way you'll raise enough money

for all these students, dude.

No. Let's say that you

don't believe that I can raise enough

money for all the students.

You're sabotaging Caesar

because you want to get back on top.

You don't care about the students,

you only care about winning.

I have nothing left.

- So I'm nothing?

- [emotive music playing]

- You know that is not what I mean.

- Then prove it.

Let's fight for a bigger cause.

Because if you go

with Mbali's plan, then we're done.

The Spill's Voting Day Special

this afternoon with special guest hosts

Olympian, Sivu Levin

and the hottest new rapper, Uncle Drip,

who have a special joint announcement.

The tea is piping hot,

and you don't wanna miss it.

- [upbeat music continues]

- [indistinct background chattering]

[Jay] Yeah, that's fine. Just go.

Did you hear about the livestream

with Uncle Drip and Sivu?

What do you think

this big announcement is?

I don't know and I don't care.

- There we go. Not bad, huh?

- Okay.

[chuckles] Natalie,

what are you doing here?

I missed you and I just thought I'd come

[Van Hardeen] No, you're not allowed

to be in here. You need to go.

No.

Okay, what is this? We're on campus.

- This is inappropriate.

- Okay, so let's go back to your place.

- Natalie, no.

- Yeah?

So, I see what's happening here.

- We had fun, right?

- Right.

Okay, but

I don't do repeat performances.

So this has got to stop.

But I thought we had a connection.

- Yeah. I know, we did.

- Yeah!

But in that moment.

And the thing about moments

is that they are momentary. So,

- when that moments goes

- No, stop saying moments!

I need to

[whispering] I need to get back at work.

So what? So that's it? [sighs]

[Natalie] What? [splutters]

Hey, Natalie! So

I've done the calculations and

there's a 12.9% chance

that we're gonna get married, so,

- [Junior] I think we should

- It was just a moment, Junior!

Dude, people are still buzzing

over you and Uncle Drip live.

- What's wrong? Sivu?

- [dog barking outside]

Pearl broke up with me.

Oh, no! I was really rooting for you two.

I was! I want you to be happy.

Yeah, but, we weren't.

And with this whole

livestream thing and the election,

- It was just bad timing.

- Yeah. Well,

Pearl was always terrible

at being campaign manager, so

Yeah, but she was right, though.

I am the white candidate.

And I'm not even one of them.

- On campus, the rowing team, my family

- [dog barking outside]

I just don't fit.

Sivu, f*ck fitting in.

People like you and I,

we were born to shine.

Spoken like a true politician's daughter.

Oh, don't remind me.

Why couldn't my mom

have been like a firewoman or something?

- Maybe then I'd be catching way less heat.

- [Sivu laughs]

Is that a smile?

Look, I can't just let you be unhappy.

- Especially now that your cast is removed.

- [soft music playing]

What are you going to do about it?

["Spin my world" by DJ Kent playing]

[phone vibrates]

- Aren't you going to get that?

- No.

- It's my sister.

Natalie Levin.

[sobbing] What a f*ck-boy!

Or f*ck f*ck-old-man. Or old

f*cking man. He was just a, f*ck sake!

Who? What's going on?

Van Heerden! He just used me.

And he's got these photos of me.

I

Do not tell me they're nudes!

Which is a terrible color scheme

for your Engineering party thing.

Mbali, you have

to help me get these photos.

Nat, it's voting day!

Yeah, but that's the exact time to do it

because he's not

going to be in his studio.

So, we can get in and get out

without him even realizing.

[sobbing continues] Mbali, I need you.

Send me location.

[Mbali sighs]

- Is everything okay?

- Perfect! Um,

- Umm Nat just needs a tampon.

Okay, Sivu, there's almost

4,000 people online waiting to watch.

[Rae] Ladies, places!

Hey, don't you want to check

on Mbali and Uncle Drip?

Shouldn't they be here by now?

We have 15 minutes before we go live,

so we're doing it with or without her.

You've got this!

[upbeat music continues]

[guard in Sotho] Come here.

[Mbali sighs]

What?

I'm just like

any other varsity girl cliché.

Just desperate for attention.

[dog continues barking]

[phone buzzing]

Okay, look. Look at me.

Do you think I'd risk

getting arrested just for anyone?

You are not a cliché.

You're a f*cking work of art.

Okay?

[emotive music playing]

Why isn't she answering?

Okay, we're live in two minutes.

waiting online to watch.

So unless you want The Spill

up your a*s for the next year,

I suggest you do something.

Take your shirt off.

[Mbali panting] Okay. I'm here.

- [Bethuel] Uh!

Well, karma's a whole mood, isn't she?

Yes sir! We're up now, baby!

that you could do better than me,

you really think

I was going to do anything for you?

[gasps]

Look. Our brands

don't align anymore. Okay?

[indistinct chattering in crowd]

[Bethuel's friend] Forget this girl.

[Bethuel's friend] Haha. God did.

Now we're even.

Peace, baby.

He's not coming.

Caesar's protest is gaining attraction.

- I'm so sorry, Sivu.

I had no idea Uncle Drip

wasn't going to show.

He's busy. Now give it.

Could you please talk to Natalie for me?

We had such a dope time and

- Yeah, whatever.

[stutters] 'Cause I really do like her.

And she likes you too.

A lot. She's just shy.

I'll talk to her. Give it.

Okay.

Maybe we could all hang out
