01x01 - Dream World

[bunniefuu]

{\an8}[haunting female vocal]

[plane engine humming]

This is a bad idea.

[in Tswana] There's nowhere to land.

You don't have to worry, Uncle Kabo.

[in English] I'll be fine.

If your father knew what I was doing...
[in Tswana] ...he'd k*ll me.

No, he wouldn't.

[in English] Don't forget,
I know all the stories.

You guys did way worse.

[in Tswana] That's because we were idiots.

[in English] Besides,
I thought you hated heights.

This one's worth it.

What makes it so special?

It's got a great story.

Now you sound like your father.

And a few hours later,
we find ourselves in deep sh*t.

There it is, Kabo.

[in Tswana]
Okay, I'll set the coordinates.

[in English] And you can hike it tomorrow.

There's no time.
I'm not the only one looking for it.

[in Tswana]
Dineo, I'll set the coordinates.

One day isn't going to make
any difference.

I think we should head back
to the airfield.

sh*t! Just like her father!

Thank you, Ancestors.

[door thuds]

[in English] Yo, morning, dude!

-[Marcus groaning]
-Ready for the big day?

It is not a big day. It's just...

It's just another meeting.

No. No, it's not.
This is the one.

I had a dream last night.

-Want to hear about it?
-Uh-uh.

[Lloyd] Okay, so we were
on a safari, right?

At first, everything seems normal,
but then we hit this one spot

and all the animals are made of... gold.

So I turn around to show you,
and guess what?

-You were also made of gold.
-Dude.

Yeah.

It must mean something, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Do you realise that if everything
is made out of gold,

then nothing is really worth
anything, right?

[Lloyd] What is wrong with you?

When did you give up?
Genuinely, I would like to know.

[clicking]

What's going on?
Why is there no electricity?

Erm... Huh.

-You forgot to pay, didn't you?
-[Lloyd] No. No, I didn't.

Yes. Yes, you did.

No, I chose not to pay.
There's a difference.

-What are you talking about?
-Okay. Don't be mad, but...

I invested in our future.

Dude, I got us new suits for the meeting.
It's gonna put us over the top.

-Oh.
-[banging on door]

[man] Open. Open. Open.

[in Tswana] Your rent is late.
Pay! Pay! Pay! Pay!

[in English] We needed new... new shoes.

For the suits.

[in Tswana] I know you guys are in there.

-[in English] We should probably go.
-Yeah... maybe. You think?

[in Tswana] Open this door. Damn it!

[Lloyd, in English]
Come on, come on, come on, come on.

[gate rattles]

[man, in Tswana]
I know you guys are in there.

You're taking a chance.

Open the door. Damn it!

[Lloyd, in English]
You know what your problem is?

-[Marcus] Oh, please, tell me.
-You've got no vision.

You're like the one-eyed man
in the land of the blind.

That literally means
that I am the only one with vision.

No. No, it doesn't.

You know what your problem is?
You're an idiot.

[door opens]

[Lloyd] Haven't you heard that saying?

[birds twittering]

[tense music]

[tense music continues]

[Dineo] Oi!

[in Tswana] Hey!

[in English] Hope you don't mind.
The door was open.

It was unlocked, not open.
And yeah, I do mind.

You still sh**ting this thing?

-I remember you were pretty good at this.
-What do you want, Akin?

[sighs]

I know you're going after the statue.

I've got a couple of buyers lined up.

With your knowledge
and my resources, I thought, you know...

maybe we could find it together.

Aw. Too late.

I already have it.

Bullshit.

From what I hear,
you have medical expenses.

Let me help you.

Must be tough,
doing it on your own.

Speaking of which,

how's the old man?

I keep meaning...

to visit.

[PA announcement] Through our products
and innovations,

we help our customers
reduce their carbon footprints

and deliver solutions
that are essential...

[Marcus] Oh, my God, Lloyd.

You know what? I take it back.
You are a genius.

Will you calm down?

-We look great.
-No, we don't. We look like idiots.

Okay, well, the lady on the Internet
said 'black tie.'

How was I supposed to know?
I grew up in foster homes, remember?

No, no, no. See?
No, you don't get to do that.

You don't get to mess up
and then pull the orphan card.

I'm sorry that my suffering
makes you uncomfortable, Marcus.

I didn't know what a bed was
until I was five.

It's... It's not your suffering.
It's this tight shirt

and these short pants that you got us.

Okay, look. This is a fancy place.

-No one's noticing what we're wearing.
-Oh, really?

Really. Watch.

I'll prove it to you.

Please...

Hello. Hi.

Hi.

So, the catering staff usually use
the service entrance,

so you guys will go basement.

Oh, no, no. We're not waiters.

-No?
-No!

Is it someone's birthday?

Tshepo's birthday.

She loves strippers.

-You guys!
-Oh, no... [laughs]

We're not strippers.

Wait, you...
You think I could be a stripper?

Not you, but...

-him, on the other hand...
-Okay, anyway,

we're here for an important meeting
with Mrs Gwaya, so...

if you could, erm,
just ring her up and say,

'Hi, Lloyd and Marcus is here,'

that would be great.

Yeah, I've got a Lloyd and Marcus
here for you.

-Shall I send them through?
-Good job.

-[receptionist] Fantastic.
-I don't think she noticed at all...

Magic Mike.

Thank you so much.
That is the third floor, gentlemen.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-[receptionist] Hmm.

Expensive.

You want to blame me, that's fine.

Maybe one day you'll accept the truth.

So, you didn't steal from my father,
ruin his life?

Sorry, I'm a little confused.

-We both suffered.
-I think it's time for you to go.

All right.

-So...
-Uh-uh.

Say hello to your father for me.

Let him know I'm praying for him.

By the way...

[whispers] Fake.

Off you go, big boy.

[in Tswana] Get out of here.

[exhales deeply]

[in English] Wow.

Okay... I think you should let me
handle the meeting.

You're giving off a really hostile vibe
and I really don't think

-it's gonna help us, dude.
-Oh, am I? Really?

Any idea why?

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Hostility...

Mrs Gwaya!

And... And... everyone.

Erm, it's really good to see you again.

Oh, and sorry about this.

We just came...

back from the opera.

This is my colleague, Mr McLean.

-He's our legal counsel.
-Hi.

Please. Take a seat.

So which one of you is the chemist?

That would be me.

Where do you get your chemicals from?

Well, a number of places.

Erm, mainly China and India
but some of it is locally sourced.

Er, why, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, we tested your pesticide.

Turns out that four of your base chemicals

are banned by the NPC.

Actually, no.

They're not banned. They are under review.

Yeah, it's, er, more like they're, erm...

frowned upon.

'Frowned upon?'

You make one more ounce of this pesticide

and I'll have you both thrown in jail.

Do you understand me?

Yeah, we understand.

[birds twittering]

[mysterious voice whispering]

[mysterious voice chanting]

[suspenseful music]

[horns beeping]

[Marcus] Everything we try just...

-What?
-Fails. Everything we try fails.

No, that's not true.

Okay. We're just on a bad run.
Success is a journey.

It's been six years.

Maybe the journey's over.

Whoa. Don't... Don't say that.

-[phone buzzing]
-[Lloyd] What?

[Marcus] Dineo.

Dineo?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Answer it.

No, no, no, no.

No, I'm just going to let it go to...

Oh, dude. Stop being such an idiot.

Wait! Woah, woah.

Just be cool. Hello.

[Dineo, over phone] Hi, Marcus.

Er, hello?

It's Dineo.

From high school?

Hey, Dineo. How are you doing?

I'm great. How are you?

-I'm... I'm good.
-[Lloyd whispering] I'm great.

I'm great.

[Dineo] Is this a bad time?

No, no. Not at all. Not at all.

Erm, what's up?

Well, I heard about your business and...

I was hoping you could help me out.

I have a problem with some...
[stomps] ...termites.

Termites. Erm, sure, sure.

We can be there tomorrow morning.
Is that okay with you?

That would be great.

I'll text you my address.

No, that's okay.
I already know where you stay.

Well, okay.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Perfect. B-Bye.

Bye.

Wow.

Please. Not a word, please.

You know what? It could have...
It could have been worse.

She could've called you while you were
hiding under her bed sniffing her panties.

Woah, woah, woah.

[horns beeping]

You know, the least you could have done
is get my size right.

-Er, newsflash. That is your size.
-This is not my size.

It is. Maybe you should just slow down
on the steroids for a while.

Lloyd, for the last time,
I am not on steroids.

Hey. I am not judging you, but if you care

about your testicles,
you should probably stop.

Wait, wait, wait.

What?

-[muffled shouting]
-Stay here.

[in Tswana] They're cooking crystal meth
inside my building.

I want them arrested now!

Okay, sir. You need to calm down.

[in English] sh*t!
They called the cops on us, Lloyd.

-No...
-We need to get out of here now.

Okay, woah. We can't leave.

Why not?

My book.
Dude, my book's still inside there.

You left it behind?

Yes, because we had to escape
this morning, remember?

Marcus, please. I can't leave without it.

[indistinct shouting]

You owe me big time for this.

Yes, yes. Anything you want. I promise.

-Okay, come.
-Okay.

Let's go.

Actually, you know what?
On second thought,

there is no point in both of us going in.

I'll just stay here and be the lookout.

Oh. Okay, cool. You would do that for us?

You would stay here
where you can't get arrested?

Dude, you are amazing under pressure.

Me on the other hand,
I could have a panic attack

and that's just not going to help anyone.

Okay, look, if the police come,

I will make some sort of bird noise
like they do in the films.

Yeah, yeah. Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

That's a great idea.

Here's a bird for you.

Oh, that's really mature. Yeah.

[in Tswana] This is a nice place.
It's a drug dealer's house.

[officer 1] Looks like they're making
a lot of money.

What's in there?

[whispering in English]
Oh, sh*t. sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

[in Tswana] There's nothing, Modise.

Check down there, I'll look in here.

Ca-caw. Ca-caw!

[tense music plays]

[in Tswana] Hey, man. Who are you?
Who are you?

What do you mean, 'Who am I'?

Are you from Joburg?

Yes, sure.

[in English] I'm from Pretoria.
Special unit. Looks like they've been

cooking meth. And this one,
I think it's ready to go.

-[in Tswana] Don't come any closer.
-Huh?

[in English] This thing is
starting to spark. Listen, very carefully.

[in Tswana] You and your men need
to get out of here now.

Look, man...

[in English] Now! Do you want to die?
Go, go, go, go, go!

[in Tswana] Okay, fine!

[Marcus, in English] Go!

[in Tswana] Thabo, let's go!

[in English] And clear the building!

[Lloyd] See?

So good under pressure.

Just take it. Here.

Ah, yes. Come on.

[upbeat music plays]

[muffled music from headphones]

Akin.

Training for something?

Nothing much. Just a little exercise.

You know what they say.

Healthy body, healthy mind.

Actually, your health's dependent on
when I can get my hands on that statue.

[Akin chuckles]

You know what? One day, Amanda,
we really are going to have to

do something about all this sexual tension
between us.

What do you reckon?

Have you spoken to her yet?

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
We're good. She's in.

Thought she hated you?

[sighs] Hate's a strong word.

You want to know what a stronger word is?

'Money.' Buys you a lot of forgiveness.

So how much longer?

A couple of days.

She knows where it is.

Just got to get there.

And there isn't exactly a highway to it,
if you know what I mean.

Don't let me down, Akin.

I'm warning you.

[sighs]

You all right?
Looks like you sprung a leak.

[Amanda] It's nothing.

-You're bleeding. Are you sure?
-Just get it done.

[cicadas chirping]

-[engine stops]
-Dude, what is this place?

It's what us poor people call a forest.

Everybody calls it a forest.
I mean, why here?

Because it's safe.

I've been coming here for years.

What?

Come on.

Let's go.

[Marcus] Okay, so...
what exactly is the plan here?

Where are we even going to sleep?

I'm gonna sleep in the van.

In the van? You can't sleep in there.
It's way too toxic.

Oh, please. 'Black Death Maximum k*ll'
is 100% safe.

Come on.

-[Lloyd groans]
-Okay, whatever.

Hi. Is this Mrs Reddy?

This is gonna sound a little bit weird,
but, erm,

is there any way that, like, 26 years ago

you may have given up a child
for adoption?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not trying to be funny.
This isn't a joke, ma'am.

Wait, but, maybe... maybe you just
don't remember.

I mean, we've all done crazy things
when we were younger, right?

Hello?

Hello, Mrs Reddy?

[Marcus groans]

[yawning]

[groans]

[clears throat]

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No! No.

Seriously? Lloyd! Lloyd.

Lloyd!

Lloyd. Lloyd!

Woah, woah, woah. Easy, easy.
Why are you shouting?

-Look at me.
-Oh, my God. You look terrible.

-I can see that.
-Calm down.

Okay, you probably just need
an antihistamine.

Or a face transplant.

-That's not funny.
-Okay. Look at the bright side.

-We have no appointments today.
-No appointments today? Dineo?

Oh... apart from the love of your life.

Oh, God. Lloyd.

Okay, you know what?

I will go.

You should just stay here.

I could even tie you to a tree
just to be safe.

Look, I'm gonna...

[Lloyd] Yeah, yeah.

[Marcus] One of these days, Lloyd.

-One of these days.
-Okay.

[Lloyd] I don't get it.

How do people afford places like this?
It blows my mind.

-Okay, dude. Seriously. Before we go in...
-Yeah?

Just... How bad is it? Tell me the truth.

Oh, stop obsessing. The tablets are
working. It's barely noticeable.

You sure?

Yeah, absolutely.

More or less.

Marcus? [laughs]

Oh, my God.

You... Wow!
[laughs] It's been so long!

I know.

It's good to see you.

You too.

-Hello.
-Er... Lloyd...

You remember Lloyd, right?

-Yeah.
-[Dineo] Er...

No, I... I don't.

-Sorry.
-Oh.

Er, actually, we... we were in
the same class for, like, three years.

I sat in the corner next to the dustbin.

Really?

I, er...

Okay.

It doesn't matter. I, er...
was pretty invisible back then, so...

I'm just playing with you, Lloyd.

-[laughs] Of course I remember you.
-Okay.

Everybody remembers you, Lloyd.

Wow, this is amazing.

Come, come. Come inside.

-Let me make you something to drink.
-[Marcus] Sure.

Sure.

[Dineo] I do a lot of trading

but there's something special about
preserving the past.

[Marcus] Yeah, I know
exactly what you mean.

Because we get called in a lot
to help save old buildings

and stuff, so...

Yeah, it's really cool.

[Dineo] Yeah. It's funny
how things work out.

I thought you wanted to be a pilot?

-You remember that?
-[Dineo] Of course I remember.

-It's all you ever spoke about.
-Right.

What happened?

I, erm...

Yeah, I developed a bit of
an eye condition.

But... But it's okay.

-It's one of those... one of those things.
-I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

Look. I get to work with insects, all day.

[laughs] It's really... It's really great.

[Lloyd] Yo, Dineo.

What's... What's this one?

[gasps] Oh, that is the Walala Statue.

It's quite an interesting piece, actually.

The tribe who created it
believes that it has the power

to bring your dreams to life.

Your dreams? Seriously?

How does it work?

Well, there's a ritual
you have to perform.

You hold the statue.

You close your eyes...

and then you chant the phrase,

'Uwichiwa Baka.'

Baka was one of their spirits. [laughs]

Oh.

Oh, is that it?

It just seems a bit basic.

[laughs]

[phone buzzing]

[Dineo] Oh.

Sorry. I need to take this.

Yeah, sure.

-[whispering] Dude, she is hot.
-[Dineo] Hey, Mary...

-What?
-Hot!

-Dang.
-Okay. No, I understand.

No, I'll be there right away. Thanks.

Er, sorry, guys. I have to leave
but I won't be long.

Oh, no, that's fine.

Er, go. We'll probably be done
by the time you get back, so...

Great, thanks.

Hey, Mary. How bad is it?

It's not that bad, really.
He's calm now.

Just won't give up.

Thank you.

Sorry, I had to call.

No.

I'm glad you did.

Thanks.

[in Tswana] Mr Magosi? Mr Magosi?

Thato.

Are you okay?

I don't understand.

This dog...

I was just throwing his ball.

And now...

he just disappeared.

You mean this ball?

[laughing]

One of the nurses took the dog for a walk.

But don't worry.

They'll be back.

Oh, sorry.

I must have forgotten.

It's okay.

My daughter is usually the one
that walks him.

You've met her, haven't you?

Yes, I know her.

Yes, she's doing so well.

She collects artefacts from
all over the world.

I know, we talk.

I just wish...

she'd visit more.

Actually, she said she's coming
this weekend.

She's so excited to see you.

-Really?
-Yes.

That's great.

That's great.

She mentioned something

about these artefacts you speak of.

I think it's called the Walala Statue.

She said she found it...

No, no, no, no.

That statue is cursed!

She needs to get rid of it.

-You have to tell her.
-What?

Right now! Do you hear me?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What are you talking about now?

Yo...

I just remembered.

We're having ice cream today.

Would you like to join me, Doctor?

Yes.

That's good, my child.

That's good.

Yeah.

You know,

you remind me of someone.

I just can't remember...

who.

I think I just have one of those faces.

Is that so?

Yes. [laughs]

Okay.

[Dineo] What flavour ice cream
would you like?

[Thato] Ah! Strawberry!

Yes!

[Dineo chuckles]

[in English] You know what?

If there's a chance that this bad boy

can bring our dreams to life,
we should try it.

Lloyd, no. No! Put that down, okay?

-You're gonna break it.
-Oh, dude, calm down.

I couldn't break this thing if I tried.
Oh!

Lloyd!

-Seriously?
-Listen to me.

The woman of your dreams is this
hardcore adventure chick.

If you want a chance with her,
you need to take a few risks.

-Oh, yeah? You think so?
-Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

Now will you stop being a buzzkill
and come over here.

Okay, dude, listen. If I do this with you,

then will you leave all her stuff alone
and just help me finish?

Yes, absolutely!

You have my word.

Okay, fine. This is...

really annoying but... sure.

Oh, you won't be saying that

-when Dineo becomes your love sl*ve.
-My what?

Don't deny it, I've heard you talk
in your sleep.

It is quite disturbing.

[tense music plays]

What curse?

-Anywhere?
-Yeah.

Okay.

Now we need to say it together, all right?

Three times.

Oh, okay.
Is three the lucky number?

I mean, you being an expert and all.

No... Yeah, yes. Just close your eyes.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

Chewbaka baka, Chewbaka...

-Why aren't you saying it?
-It's not Star Wars, okay?

She said 'Uwichiwa Baka.'

Oh, yes.

Okay, okay. Good, good, good.

-Close your eyes.
-Okay.

In one, two, three.

[both] Uwichiwa Baka.

Uwichiwa Baka.

Uwichiwa Baka.

[Marcus] Wow.

Yeah. Thank you.

You happy?

What are you doing?

What?

-What are...
-I... Nothing, nothing.

What did you wish for?

You are a child. Do you know that?

Can you help me finish, now?

[thunder rumbling]

[mysterious whispering]

[thunder rumbling]

I'm so cold.

Are you cold?

I'm okay.

It's not fair. Your steroid muscles
are keeping you warm.

Lloyd, stop that.

Okay! I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

You want some?

Oh, no, thank you.

I'm okay. What is it with you
and that stuff?

I don't know, it just makes me
feel better.

God, I am freezing.

Last time I was this cold,
I was a kid alone in a stadium.

Why were you alone in a stadium?

My foster parents left me behind.

They said they were gonna go
get us something to drink

and then they just never came back.

Seriously?

What? They just forgot about you?

Oh, no, mm. They didn't forget.

Turns out fostering didn't pay
as well as they'd hoped.

Wow.

Yeah, I mean,
the least they could have done was

left me with a blanket or something.

It was in the middle of winter.

Okay.

This is officially the most
depressing story I've ever heard.

Oh, I've had worse birthdays.

[thunder rumbling]

Well, anyway...

I think we should get some sleep.

[muffled] I'm exhausted.

[yawning]

[thunder rumbles]

[mysterious whispering]

[whispering continues]

[in Tswana] Dineo, are you okay?

[in English] I... I don't like heights.

[young Marcus, in Tswana] Me too.

[in English] Maybe it will help if you...
close your eyes.

[in Tswana] Okay.

[dramatic music plays]

Ahh.

[in English] What's going on?

Oh, very funny.

I guess this is payback, right?

Good one, Marcus!

[sighs] Jeez, this guy.

Oh, sh*t.

[sinister music plays]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Lloyd] Hey, man. How'd you do it?

How did I do what?

Okay, very funny dude.
I'm dying on the inside.

Also, how did you know
it was this stadium?

Dude, why are you phoning me?
Where are you?

[Lloyd] Marcus, you've had your moment.

All right, where are you?

You are making absolutely no sense.

[Lloyd] Ah, you know what?

I am gonna get you back for this

and when I do, it is gonna suck ba*ls.

Marcus!

Marcus, are you listening to me?

Marcus, please.

Just come and get me down from here.
I'm starving.

Hello?

Oh, no.

It makes your dreams come true.

[dramatic music plays]

[peaceful music]

How are you feeling?

Peachy.

Have you been taking your supplements?

How about I decide
what my body needs, hmm?

Okay.

One, two, three.

Just let me know if you need anything.

[mysterious whispering]

[Marcus] Dude, I told you. I told you
to put the statue down, and now...

[Lloyd] Okay. Yes. Yes, you did.
But now's not the time to point fingers.

Also, she would probably
know what to do, right?

I hope so. But...

[Lloyd] Okay.

Hey, guys. Did you forget something?

Hey, er...

Is everything okay?

[Marcus] Yeah. Well...

Dineo, sorry to just show up like this
but we did try calling earlier on.

What's wrong?

I... I should probably be the one
to tell you this.

-Yeah.
-So... So yesterday...

After you left, we...

Okay, I...

I was fooling around with your
magical statue and...

-accidentally activated it.
-[Marcus] Yeah.

Activated it?

-Yeah.
-[Dineo] Okay.

Did you do the ritual?

-[Marcus] Yes.
-Yes.

And it worked.

Just not in the way I was hoping.

Last night, I dreamt I was
wandering around a stadium...

and that's where I woke up this morning.

Yeah, we both sort of, erm,

we teleported.

[laughs]

That's funny, guys. [laughing]

Good one.

Oh, my God,
you guys aren't joking.

No.

No.

[Dineo] Okay.

The faces reflect the nature
of the dreams.

They can be good dreams,

and they can be nightmares.

There's really no way to choose.

And what about these symbols?

They represent the dreams themselves.

The tree is Earth,

physical places.

That's what happened to you guys
last night.

The figure represents people.

Whoever you dream of,

good or bad, they can be conjured to life.

Wait. So you're saying if I dream of
someone like Hitler, for example,

that I could wake up next to him?

Yeah, maybe try not to do that.

Wow.

Okay.

And, er, the... the snake?

A phobia.

Great.

Okay. So, wait.

These... These things...
We can be affected by them?

Like, as if they are real?

They will be real.

And then what happens after the dream?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Also, er, what are all those things
on the front?

That is Baka's story.

He was a tribesman who was cursed
and turned into a black spirit but...

that's as much as I know.

[snaps fingers] We should Google it,
get some more information.

Dude, seriously?

Wait. I think I know someone
who might be able to help us.

Are you guys okay with hiking?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I'm... I'm pretty fit.

I used to boxercise.

What is...

What? It is a real thing.

I mean...

[dramatic music plays]

[breathing heavily]

How are they so fit?

I think I'm getting sick.

Guys!

So...

[in Tswana] Your father?

[in English] How is he?

[in Tswana] He's fine physically.

But he has dementia.

[in English] Oh.

I'm sorry, that must be difficult.

Yeah. [speaks Tswana]

[in English] How are your parents?

[in Tswana] Er... My mum is fine.

[in English] Well, she has a heart
condition now but she's getting treatment

and I haven't seen my father in years.

[in Tswana] I'm sorry.

[in English] I heard that he was
quite difficult.

Erm...

Yeah, difficult. That's...

That's one way of putting it.

[drum beats]

[Dineo] There they are.

Hi.

Thanks for waiting for me.

God. [breathing heavily]

I think I have a fever.

[drum beats]

What's with the welcoming committee?

Who are they?

They protect the Sangoma.
They're like her... acolytes.

Acolytes.

Yeah, right...

That's what I thought.

Will they let us in?

As long as we respect their customs.

What customs?
What are you talking about?

Come on. Let's go.

Hey. Dineo?

What customs?

God.

Hello.

[in Tswana] Greetings, my Ancestors.

Greetings.

[whispering in English] Dude.

Do you think we're also gonna get a skirt?

Why would we need a skirt?

[Lloyd] I don't know.

What is that?

It's traditional beer.

Mainly.

Mainly? What... What do you mean?

Doesn't matter. Just drink.

You're gonna feel a little strange.

I don't want... Er...
Thank you. Thanks so much.

You have to.

Dude, just do it.

All right, all right. Fine. Okay.

Clap.

[exhales sharply]

[groans]

Oh, that is so bad.

It tastes like a dead body.

Dude, clap.

Don't be disrespectful, man.

[grunts]

[Lloyd] Are you guys thinking
what I'm thinking?

[Marcus] Somehow I doubt that.

[Lloyd] What if we're being trafficked?

I mean, no one knows we're here, right?

It's the perfect crime.

[Marcus] Hmm, yeah.

-Hey, how about this? What if...
-[Lloyd] Yeah.

What if... we kept quiet
for a while? Just...

Okay, but do not come crying to me
when we wake up in a shipping container.

Er, okay. Erm, guys,
I am not feeling so good.

Everything's starting to
spin a little bit.

Don't freak out, it's just the beer.

You'll be okay.

[Dineo] Okay.

I think it'll be better
if I do all the talking.

Yeah, of course.

Whatever happens, whatever you see,
just stay calm.

Wait, what are we gonna see?

[whispers] What are we gonna see?

[tense music plays]

[mysterious whispering]

[mysterious whispering]

[in Tswana] Greetings, Ancestor.

[belches]

[grunts]

Greetings.

I came here to ask about this.

Walala.

[Dineo] Yes.

I would like to know what will happen

when the dreams come to an end.

And about Baka.

Come with me.

[gasps]

After the dreams...

Baka will come for you.

He was cursed by the ancient Sangomas...

Made to wander the darkness...

as a sl*ve to the statue.

[Lloyd, in English] Wow...

we're underwater.

Look at all the fishes.

I see them.

How is this happening?

Dude.

Dude!

Dude, I have a fin.

[in Tswana] He will force you to battle

your own shadow.

That which you fear most.

And it must be defeated.

Or Baka will claim your soul.

[gasps]

[Lloyd, in English] Dineo!

Dineo.

Do you want to come swim with us?

The water is amazing.
