[glass cracking]

[reporter] Tonight,
all roads lead to Turbine Hall...

- [upbeat music playing]
- [crowd clamoring]

[reporter] ...where Joburg's
high-society will witness

the reveal of the first
"Face of Bhengu Beauty,"

voted for by the public online.

Mogul Don Bhengu is expected
to make a speech about these new changes

and the future
of the Bhengu Beauty empire.

I don't care that
the partners want equity.

- Draw up the papers!
- [glass clinks]

This expansion is happening
on Don Bhengu's terms.

End of story.

Jesus!

I can talk to the Kenyans, Ngcolosi.

The last time I went to Nairobi
they were putty in my hands.

The new face of Bhengu
must have mass appeal.

[in Sotho] They won't need equity
to make money...

[in English] Save that enthusiasm
for telling the maid how to clean, Grace.

[snorts, chuckles]

[in Sotho] I know you're
natural-born rubbish, Thando.

[in English] Don't make it
worse with your drinking.

Excuse me?

You had to be carried out
at the minister's party.

[in Sotho] You disgraced
our husband and the Bhengu name.

[in English] Please, Grace,
I was fine. You're the one that...

Don't make excuses for being low-class.

Tonight is about dignity.

Have some.

- And smile.
- Enough.

You know, I can't believe they've got us
here handing out goodie bags to guests.

I should be the face of Bhengu Beauty.

[woman] I know, right.
This Zinhle girl isn't even a real model.

And that's why you shouldn't allow
the public to vote for the face of Bhengu.

Imagine being able
to live with the Bhengu's.

Getting your own car,
getting to know Grace.

[gasps] Even chilling with Phila Bhengu.

- Now you see that?
- Oh my gosh.

That's a different story.

- Oh, he's so hot!
- He's so hot!

Oh, my God.

- [laughs]
- [sighs]

[woman 2] I'll tell him you say hi.

Let's go.

[grunting]

[alarm clock ringing]

Oh! [groans]

sh*t! I have to go.

You guys just order
whatever you want to, it's on me.

[cell phone buzzing]

Zinhle, where are you?

Oh my God, you're doing my job again.

It's just a little foundation, Sisi.

My foundation, darling.

- But I like doing it.
- That's okay, I'm fine with it.

[crowd cheering]

[reporter] Past faces of Bhengu Beauty

have been supermodels,
actresses, and celebrities.

Bhengu Beauty faced harsh criticism

over their overly-edited images

encouraging unrealistic
standards of beauty.

Some wonder if the choice
to go with an unknown face

signals real change at Bhengu Beauty

or is it simply lip service?

But as we can see tonight,

even though the public was asked
to vote for the face of Bhengu Beauty,

the only guests here are an elite bunch.

And now it seems Mr. Bhengu
and his two wives have arrived.

[crowd cheering continues]

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct clamoring]

Mr. Bhengu?

- Mr. Bhengu?
- Hey, Angela. [chuckles]

[in Xhosa] I told you Angela's
not welcome at Bhengu events.

[in English]
She's a very powerful journalist,

what she says goes. This is big.

So, Dad, what do you think?

[in Xhosa] Excellent job, my girl.

[in English] Don't stress!

[in Xhosa] Have some champagne
and meet some nice girls.

[in English] The walls
could have been bigger.

Of course, Grace.

You did great, Linda.

[man] This way for a photo.

Sorry I'm late.

Why do you insist
on looking like a garden boy, Ndumiso?

- Come on, Ma.
- Smile.

[camera shutters clicking]

[in Xhosa] We're taking
the family photo with or without Phila.

- [in English] Hi, fam.
- [Don] You're late.

[sniffing]

I made it with five minutes to spare.

Hi.

[in Xhosa] Let's do this.

[Phila clears throat]

[in English] Bhengu smile.

[camera shutter clicks]

[Don] That's baby number what?

[Grace] Six.

[in Xhosa] Where's your baby number one?

[in English] Mr. Bhengu,
quick question, please.

Why ask the public to vote
for the face of Bhengu Beauty

but not have them at this event?

You sure your company's
committed to the things you speak about?

[chuckles]

[in Xhosa] Reserve your questions
until after the launch.

[in English]
And then you can be the judge.

[in Xhosa]
She's always asking unnecessary questions.

[Thando in English]
This is stunning, Linda.

- [Ndu] Well done.
- [Linda] Thanks!

[Phila] How much did this cost?

[Linda in Xhosa]
No, don't ask too many questions.

[singing "Abantu"]

[song ends]

[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

put your hands together
for the CEO of Bhengu Beauty,

Mr. Don Bhengu!

[all cheering, applauding]

If you told me 15 years ago that, uh...

Bhengu Beauty would become

one of the biggest
beauty companies in the country,

soon Africa,

I would have told you,

"You are absolutely right!"

Yes!

[crowd cheering]

[applauding]

I built this company
with my own bare hands.

No political connections,

no capital,

no help whatsoever.

But tonight...

tonight we are here to unveil
the new face of Bhengu Beauty.

[applauding]

I left the choice to a public vote because

I wanted to provide an opportunity
to someone who reminds me of myself,

before I became the Don Bhengu.

Someone without privilege,

someone unvarnished,

an underdog to represent us all.

Ladies and gentlemen...

ushering in a new dawn
as the newest face of Bhengu Beauty,

Zinhle Manzini!

[all cheering]

["Entabeni" by Caiiro playing]

[enthusiastic cheering]

[cheering fades]

[indistinct murmuring]

What the hell?

Uh...

[in Sotho] Linda! Go fix it.

[in English] Now. Now. Go. Go.

Looks like Bhengu Beauty
hasn't changed its colors after all.

[tense music playing]

[Ndu] Hey.

I could get you something
a little stronger if you like.

[Don in Xhosa] What nonsense is this?

Now we look like fools.

[Grace] Let's take this home.

[Don] Damn it.

Everyone's going to call us hypocrites.

[in English] Ndu, take Zinhle to the car.

- How did this...
- Why must I repeat myself. Just do it.

[in Xhosa] Did you mess this up?
You too busy partying?

[Phila in English] I didn't do this!

I specifically told the designers
to not change her complexion.

- Everything was perfect when I...
- Obviously not!

We're trying to show
we're not stuck in the past

- and what do...
- [Linda] I'll fix it!

I'll get to the bottom of this. Listen...

[in Xhosa] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[in English] Get Peter to bring the car.

[Don in Xhosa] This is a disaster.

The driver could have brought me.

[scoffs] No, I don't mind.

Yeah. [clears throat]

This is all going blow over

in like a day or two.

You'll see for yourself.

I don't know how anyone
could be so negligent. You know?

Okay, let me.

It's okay. I can do it.

Whoa!

Yeah. Okay.

I bet this has never
happened to Naomi Campbell.

Oh no, actually it has.
I once helped her out just like this.

I'm joking. I've never met her. [laughs]

Very funny.

Give me your hand.

- Okay...
- Okay.

Um...

There you go.

This...

- Of course.
- For you.

Thank you.

You'll get your jacket tomorrow.

[Ndu] Sure.

[Don] Damn it.

Twitter is abuzz.

Ah, yeah, well, Linda will
figure out what happened,

and we will do what we do best.

We will handle it.

Relax, old man.

[Thando] Actually, I'm going to my room.

No, you stay exactly where you are.
I need everyone here.

[in Sotho] Regina, call Zinhle.

[in English] I need a double.

Thando will do it.

You can see
your favorite son is already doing it.

I'll have a Chardonnay.

What a f*ck-up.

[in Zulu] Dad.

[in English] As I said, we will handle it.

My people are already
tweeting in our favor.

- [Thando] Do you want a drink?
- Yeah.

There you are, Zinhle.

- [in Sotho] Any journalists called you?
- No, Mam' Grace.

If they do, no comment.

[in English] That goes for all of you.

PR is coming over,

and we're going to say
it was a technical malfunction.

Get it?

End of story.

You can go.

Mam' Grace?

[Grace] Yes.

[in Sotho] Do you remember
that I still need to go

to my cousin's after-funeral cleansing?

[in English]
Your cousin is not family, Zinhle.

[sad music playing]

[door closing]

The events company messed up the images.
They can't explain what happened.

- [Grace] Linda, that's not good enough.
- I know that, Grace.

Okay, that's why I fired them.

- [Don] Good night.
- Ahem. Good night.

Dad, is there anything I...

[Don] No, you've already done enough.

Thando?

[in Sotho] What did I say to you

about your sulking in public?

[in English] I'm so sorry.

[clears throat] Um...

Drink, Mom?

No thanks, and put that down.
No more drinking for you.

- Yes, definitely not.
- You called?

[sighs] We need to talk.

["Somandla" by Mandisi Dyantyis playing]

[chuckles]

[Zinhle] Your favorite.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

[in Zulu] To be honest...

[in English] I should be getting you
chocolates after the day you had.

[in Zulu] Are you okay?

[in English] It was weird
seeing my face like that,

as though it was bleached or something.

[in Zulu] But I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

[in English] How much damage do you think
this will do to Bhengu Beauty?

[in Zulu] I don't know.

[in English] As you heard, PR statements
are being made, woh, woh, woh, woh.

I wonder how long
people will be talking about it.

[Thando] Mm. Mmm.

What did I do to deserve these, really?

[in Zulu] I just wanted to thank you.

[in English] For being my friend here
for the past four weeks.

[in Zulu] You'll get used to this place.

[in English]
Even the royal bitchness herself.

But, it's good to have
a new friend around here.

[whistling]

Oh, Don.

[in Sotho] Where are you off to?

[in English]
Partners are freaked out after last night.

I need to make a few calls.

[in Sotho] I'll ask Regina
to bring some coffee to the study.

[in English]
I'm actually going to the office.

[in Sotho] It's Saturday.
I've arranged a relaxing spa treatment.

[in English] I'll be back for dinner.

Don...

[Zinhle] How's everything with you?

[in Zulu] Yesterday you seemed
like you were a little sad.

[in English] You know
what it's like with Grace.

"Smile, dear, we're in public."

It's exhausting.

What's it like being a second wife?

I wouldn't recommend it,

but what I do recommend
is some wine with these chocolates.

Hmm? Stolen from
Grace's collection, of course.

[chuckles] It's not even midday yet.

- [Thando] Really?
- Mmm.

But it is the weekend, right?

[laughs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[knocking]

[woman] I'm coming.

[gasps]

Hi! I missed you so much.

I'll bet you did.

Of course.

Oh, babe, I heard about the launch.

Shh. I'm not here for that.

No?

Oh. Okay.

[giggles]

[Don] I've got something for you.

- You do?
- Yes.

[gasps]

It's so beautiful! Thank you.

[laughs]

[moaning]

[breathing heavily]

- [Don] Wait, babe...
- Hmm?

[Don] Stop.

- What?
- Call an ambulance.

What do you mean? What's going on?

Ruby...

[grunts]

- Stop...
- Oh my God, what's wrong? Are you okay?

Call an ambulance.

[Ruby] Babe, what's wrong? Okay.

[breathing shakily]

[siren wailing]

[in Sotho] I don't know.

Grace doesn't want me to go.

She took...

I have to go, I'll call you back.

[in English]
Does... Does Mam' Grace need me?

No, um...

Would you like to grab something to eat?

I figured you could use an escape.

Ah. Thanks, but I'm going to sleep early.

Of course. Um... yeah,
just shout if you need anything.

Mm-hmm.

[in Sotho] That's the spot.

[cell phone buzzing]

[Grace sighs]

[ringing]

[in English] No, man.

Mm-mm.

[cell phone buzzing]

Oh, Noni. Eish!

Yes?

Where is he?

[dramatic music playing]

[in Sotho]
We're here for Don Benghu. Where is he?

- [in English] Is he okay?
- With you in a second.

[Linda] Please, just tell us.

Hey! When I talk to you, you listen!

- Where's my husband?
- Mama, she's gonna get to us.

Is there a doctor
or someone we can talk to?

Mrs. Bhengu?

[in Sotho] What kind of service is this?

You're a private hospital
and we're waiting in reception?

- [in English] Where's my husband?
- [in Tswana] Sorry, ma'am. Come with me.

[in English] Just tell us if he's okay.

[in Zulu] Sis' Regina, where's everyone?

[in Xhosa] They're all at the hospital.
Bab' Don had a heart attack.

- [in Tswana] He's in surgery right now.
- [Linda in English] How long will it take?

He has a history
of coronary artery disease.

When can we talk to the doctor?

[in Tswana] I'll have more
information after the surgery.

[in English] Excuse me.

[Phila] Phew.

Okay guys, whoa.
It's just a little scare, okay.

Dad is still young.

This stays right here.
We've had enough PR disasters already.

[Ndu] Mama, who cares about PR?

Dad just has a heart attack.

Ndumiso!

[in Sotho] We can't
have people speculating.

Phila, find out who he was with
at the office when this happened.

They can't talk.

[in English] Done.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Grace in Sotho] Linda.

- [in English] What?
- [Grace] It's all your fault.

[in Sotho] Your carelessness...

[in English]
Are you f*cking kidding, Grace

Mama, come on, that's unfair.

Linda, she didn't mean that.

Of course I did.

[sucks teeth]

- [sucks teeth]
- [Zinhle] Hey.

[Grace in Sotho] What are you doing here?

Sis' Regina told me what had happened.

[in English]
I thought I'd bring some snacks.

I doubt anyone is hungry.

Thank you.

It's like you read my mind. I'm famished.

[Zinhle] How's Bab' Don?

[Ndu] Um, still in surgery.

What is it?

He wasn't in the office.

His driver insisted he was there.

[Phila] They found him
at the company penthouse.

Was he alone?

I don't know.

Hey, this looks good. Is this you?

- It's the least I could do.
- Thank you.

Zinhle.

You can go.

And don't you dare tell anyone about this.

Let me know if you need anything else.

[Thando] Thanks.

Oh yeah, um... let me walk you out.

No, no, it's fine.

Stay with everyone. I'll be okay.

[typing]

[siren wailing in distance]

- Hey.
- Coffee?

Thank you.

You know that...

[in Xhosa] my father...

[in English] I don't have any family.

[in Zulu] But that's not true.

[in English] Ndu and Phila,
they have Grace, and...

- [Thando] But you've got me.
- Yeah.

[Thando] No matter what,
Grace cannot get rid of you.

And you? [sniffs]

Well, it wouldn't be
the worst thing, right?

[in Zulu] Your father
is going to make it through.

Don't worry.

[cell phone chimes]

sh*t.

[Thando] What?

Bhengu boys, your father's going to
need a lot of support at the office.

[in Xhosa] Ma, can we stop
talking about business for a second?

[in English] How are you?
We could lose Dad.

Okay, hold on.
We're not going to lose him.

I mean...

But he is right.
Maybe we can cool it on the business talk.

Your father's going to need
a successor sooner than later.

[in Sotho] Think Linda's
just "chilling" right now?

[in English] If that happens,
then he's going to choose me.

Someone leaked the news
of Dad all over social media.

- What?
- They said he's dying.

What did I say to all of you?

[in Sotho] I said
do not speak to the press!

Who was it?

[in English] Who said
something, guys? Who?

[Linda] Maybe it's Zinhle.

- Did you say...
- She's always around, so it makes sense.

Maybe someone heard us at reception.

Look, I will talk to the board, okay.

And we'll make sure that we...

[in Sotho] Can we see him?

[in Tswana] Yes, you can.
But he's still resting.

[in English] To help with recovery.
So bear that in mind.

[dramatic music playing]

[monitor beeping]

Don?

Ngcolosi.

[in Sotho] Don't you ever
scare us like that again.

[Linda in Xhosa] Dad, please hold on.

Please, I still need you.

[Grace] Linda.

[in English] Thank you.

Well, I know that you're gonna be
out of here in a couple of days. So...

[Ndu] Stay strong, Dad.

We love you.

Get well, Ngcolosi.

[Linda] This is a curse.

[sighs] And this is my cue to go to bed.

Good night, everybody. Thank you.

If it isn't a curse, what is it?

First the launch...

[in Xhosa] ...and now Dad.
This is a curse.

- [in English] It's not a curse.
- Uh-huh. Thank you.

But it is an opportunity.

- Guys, we've been wasting our time...
- Ndumiso.

[in Sotho] It's not time
for one of your sermons. Go to bed.

Why are you up?

I was worried.

How is Bab' Don doing?

[in English]
That's not for you to worry about.

[in Sotho] Go to sleep.

[Ndu in English]
She's just trying to be nice, Mom.

Zinhle?

[in Sotho] Did you tell anyone
about Don's heart attack?

No, Mam' Grace.
My phone's been off the whole night.

[in English] Good.

Oh, that cleansing thing...

you can go.

[in Sotho] Thank you.

[in English] Some of these vultures.

[in Sotho] They wish
their cards read "Rest in Peace."

Goodness!

You'd swear I'm the one
who had a heart attack.

Get rid of these flowers.

[cell phone ringing]

Justice... were you on duty
when my husband had a heart attack?

Who was he with?

Yay-hey!

[in Sotho] Hey, bro.

- Hey!
- [laughs]

- Yay!
- [in English] I made it.

What up, though?

[both laughing]

[in Sotho] I missed you.

I'm here now.

I thought I'd have to
drag you back home. Hmm?

[in English] No. There's no need.

Okay.

[in Sotho] Let's go inside.
Makhosi Mnisi is waiting.

[in English] Yeah? [chuckles]

- [Zinhle] This feels so final.
- Yeah.

[in Sotho] We have to stay strong for her.

[Zinhle in Zulu] Greetings, Makhosi.

Makhosi.

I still need to see other people.
You're wasting my time.

[Zinhle] I'm sorry.
But I have a bottle of whiskey for you.

Good girl.

Where's my whiskey?

Let's get to work.

[door opens]

[in Xhosa] Praise God.

When did you wake up?

I've been up for a while now.

How are you feeling?

[in English]
I'm so fit, I could run a marathon.

[both laugh]

[in Xhosa] I've brought
someone to see you.

[in English] Who's that?

[in Xhosa] Goodness.

[laughs]

[in English] What a pleasant surprise.

[in Xhosa] I'm glad to see you awake.

I brought a few traditional things.

[in Zulu] These Western doctors
also need help.

[in Xhosa] Now we are talking.

[chuckles]

[Makhosi in Zulu]
Ancestors of the Selepe family,

the Elders and Protectors of this family,

I ask that you allow me as a healer

to cleanse these kids.

To cleanse them
because there isn't an elder to do so.

Please allow me to remove
this dark cloud that follows them.

And to remove these dark spirits
that follow them.

Spirits that took their sister, Amahle.

Please allow me to do this
so that their paths can be cleared.

[chanting]

Makhosi!

- [groans]
- Mm-hmm.

[in Xhosa] It's strong.

Can you feel it?

I can feel it working already.

- That's good.
- [clears throat]

- That's what we want to hear.
- [chuckles]

Simphiwe.

[in Sotho] I didn't know
you called for Simphiwe

[in Xhosa] I brought her, Grace.

[in Sotho] Linda, you know
your father's treatments can't...

[in English]
I know what's good for me, Grace.

[in Xhosa] Thank you, my child.
You can go.

- [Linda] All right.
- Simphiwe.

You've really helped me.

[sighs]

[clears throat]

[in English] We should be more careful.

[Don] Sit down.

What did the doctor say?

I said sit down.

[dramatic music plays]

There's going to be
a few changes in our lives.

I need more children.

[Grace in Sotho]
You know I can't have more kids.

[in English]
Another heart attack and I'm dead.

I don't have time to waste,
so I'm taking another wife.

I've already found someone
who'll give me children.

You can't make a decision
like that without my permission!

No, I don't need your permission.

[in Sotho] I allowed
my husband to marry you

so he could have
his entertainment at home.

Why is he looking elsewhere
when you're here?

[in English] What's that?

Do you want to go and ask him yourself?

[in Zulu] You heard what he said.

He wants more children,
and you and I both know I couldn't...

[in English]
Shut up! Thando, just shut up!

[dramatic music playing]

Smile, dear, we're in public.

Noni.

[Ruby] Excuse me!

[in Zulu] Who are you?

[Grace in English]
You know exactly who I am.

[in Zulu] Who are you?

I'm Ruby.

[in Sotho] Isn't that a wh*re's name?

[in Zulu] No, it's my real name.

[in English] Test her.

Test me for what?

I'm not pregnant. Why would...

I'm calling security.

No, you're not!

Your choice.

You want to do this sleeping or awake?

I'm not the bad guy here.

You're the one sleeping with my husband.

We can do this painlessly if you want.

Good girl.

Now go with the lovely nurse.

[grunts]

[melancholy pop song playing]

[laughing]

[in Sotho] Why are you laughing?

[continues laughing]

Ah. [laughs]

Amahle.

- Nana?
- [groans]

Amahle.

[panting]

[in Sotho] Are you okay?

I'm fine.

For Chancer.

For helping me win the online competition

and the pictures at the launch.

No problem.

How're you coping?

How are you coping?

You're all alone here now.

I'm fine.

I don't have to see
Grace and Don every day.

I managed to get into
Don's room at the hospital.

Hm.

He looked so weak.

He looked nothing like
the scary man from our childhood.

I wanted to finish him off.

You're not a m*rder*r.

I know.

He has to live...

so that he sees us
destroy everything that he loves.

I know it's only been
six months since we lost Amahle.

If you need time...

- Time?
- If you want to back out...

No!

I don't need time. This has to be done.

Did you get what I asked for?

I did, but you don't need it.

I do.

[in English] Just in case things go wrong.

[sighs]

[in Sotho] Thank you.

[in English] For doing this with me.

[in Sotho] We're in this together.

[in Zulu] He say he'll marry you?

Yes.

How old are you?

[in English] Twenty-two, 23, 24...

Twenty-one.

Twenty what?

- Twenty-one.
- Twenty-one?

You're a baby.

If you marry him,
you're going to be wife number three.

Last on the list.

[in Zulu] He'll get you pregnant
as soon as he can.

[in English] That doesn't mean
he'll stop sleeping with other girls.

[in Zulu] There are lots of Rubys.

By the time you turn 23...

[in English] You'll feel trapped.
You know why?

[in Zulu] Because the Bhengu name
will not be tainted by divorce.

Goodness.

[in English] Negative.

Perfect.

Now,

if you don't want to suffer
for the rest of your life,

you'll say and do exactly what I tell you.

[in Zulu] Understood?

[humming tune]

[in Xhosa] You're back.

[in English] Is Mam' Grace around?
I wanted to tell her that I'm back.

[in Xhosa] She's not here.

[in English] Join me for dinner.
Otherwise, all that food will go to waste,

and Regina was expecting
everyone to be here.

Come. Come sit down.

Um, so, how was the cleansing?

As good as these things get.

- Do you mind me asking why...
- How's your Dad?

Oh, he's coming back tomorrow.

He's awake?

[chuckles] Yeah.
Actually, he's doing well.

[Zinhle] Who took these?

[Ndu] Oh, I did, in art school.

[Zinhle] They're really good.

Yeah. I'm actually looking for something

that I can print out and frame

for Dad as a welcome-home gift.

- Uh... [laughs]
- [in Zulu] Is this you?

[Ndu in English] Yeah.
Um, that's from two years ago.

When I used to copy everything
Phila used to do,

before the accident.

What accident?

Check this out.

I crashed my Porsche.

They had to cut me out.
It took two months to recover.

I remember thinking to myself,

I could have died
without living a meaningful life.

Wow.

Now I spend my time looking
for the deeper meaning in life, you know.

[chuckles] Still looking.

I have to go.

Sorry, I'm actually not that hungry.

Ruby?

I'm home.

What the hell is this?

Ruby?

Ruby?

Hey.

What's this?

I'm leaving, Don. I can't do this anymore.

What are you talking about?

- Come here.
- No.

This repulsive relationship is over.

Repulsive?

You're old enough to be my father,

and I deserve way more
than an arrangement.

[Don] An arrangement?

I want to marry you, start a family.

You already have a family.

Please don't... don't go.

[women vocalizing over somber tune]

I'm sorry I have to go,

and please delete my number.

Ruby?

Ruby.

Ruby.

[in Sotho] Cut them into smaller pieces.

We don't want him to choke
after surviving a heart attack.

[in English] Speaking of,
are we picking him up?

[in Sotho] No, he said
his driver will bring him back.

Morning, Mam' Grace.

Phila. Regina.

[in English] Zinhle. Looking good.

[in Sotho] Thank you for letting me
go to the cleansing yesterday.

[in English] Nice hair.

[in Sotho] The styles I arranged...

you've switched them up, huh?

I like the outfit too.
Turn around so I can see.

Take a selfie and send it
to Sonto in social media.

[in English] And touch up
your make-up. You're sweating.

I'll do that.

[in Sotho] You know, in my day...

you had to be taller and lighter...

to be considered beautiful.

[Phila in English] You can't
just say things like that.

[Grace] I'm just saying.

[in Sotho] When she won the competition,
I was this close to denying the results.

[Phila in English]
Yeah, she's not your typical model,

but she is beautiful and she is likable.

You're right.

There's something recognizable about her.

[Phila] Yeah?

Oh, Regina.

[in Sotho] Give me the knife.
Let me show you.

Like this.

[clicks]

[choir harmonizing]

[sniffs]

[in English] You can let go, Nana.

Uh-uh.

[choir harmonizing]

[trembling breaths]

[whimpering]

[in Sotho] They will pay.

I'll make sure of it.

[sniffling] Amahle.

Amahle.

Amahle!

Amahle.
