Post by bunniefuu »

- Disappointed, yes...

We are so blessed.

Yes.

The rains have brought new life.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you. Initiation means
so much more with you here.

It is great that you're
back where you belong, dear.

Absolutely.

- What is wrong with you?
- I'm sorry.

It's that girl.
It's getting worse.

It's time.

Consider it done.

Bruno, stop it.

- Hey.
- Hey, Sienna. Bar's closed.

No, I came here to talk to you.

- About?
- Is this your sister?

Where did you... Where
did you find this?

When did she get sick?

- Sienna...
- I'm sorry.

I... I know it's personal,
but it's important.

- Last year. Spring Fest.
- And when was she institutionalised?

- Day after.
- At Fort Vannenburg?

- Yes.
- And she's been there ever since?

- Yes.
- Thanks.

Sienna...

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Uh, I've come to see Clara.
- Excuse me?

- Clara? What room is she in?
- Oh, but you're not family.

Just wanna pay her a visit.
I'm a friend of Charlton's.

Oh, I'm sorry, but she's
sick and it's contagious.

We don't want her to
infect the other patients.

So I'm sorry, but
you can't see her.

But, your mother
would like to see you.

- Where is she?
- She's outside. Lovely weather.

Thanks.

Don't look back.

Do you know Clara?

Mm-hm. Have you seen her?

Where is she?

On the ground? Is she dead?

Thanks, Innocentia.
I'll take it from here.

Well, well, well.

What have we here?

What was that?

No, come back? No backchat?

That's very good.

No.

♪ Da-da, da-dum ♪
♪ Da-da, da-dum ♪

♪ Ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum ♪

Ah.

♪ De-da-dum ♪

- ♪ Deee ♪

- Sienna.
- Hey.

I know you don't wanna talk
to me right now. I get it.

- Um...
- What is it?

I just wanna make sure what
you said about the hospital.

What about it?

- You checked the basement, right?
- There is no basement.

- We've been through this.

Okay.

- So there's no basement?
- That's what I said.

Yeah. No, no basement.

Just wanted to make sure.

Yolanda.

Favourite daughter of Jacob.

May you be purified.

Become clean once again.

These...

are the tears of life.

Water is life.

And you...

are watered.

There you go. I don't know
if it fits, but it's clean.

But I'll bring your own clothes as
soon as it's been dried and ironed.

It's the least I could do.

Themba.

Hey, Hey!

Hello and welcome everyone.

This is a very special night.

With the breaking of the drought
and the flowing of the river.

It is with God's grace

that we are able to continue
our long-held tradition.

Without further ado,

let me introduce to you, this
year's Daughters of Jacob.

- Whoo-hoo! Whoo!
- Yeah.

Rosetta.

Thuli.

Ellie May.

Thandiwe.

Katherine Reese.

Who me?

Annika.

And Lulu.

There are your girls. Now
let's get the party started.

- Aren't you looking handsome?
- Mm-hm.

- One should do the trick?
- One.

Two. To be safe.

Hm, safety first, I
always say. Thank you.

Wait a minute.

You're not going to the dance?

I'll see.

Another one?

Yeah. Please.

- Just...
- Okay. Okay then.

Okay. Everyone. Everyone.

Um... may I have all
of your attention.

Um...

Yolanda Fisher.

I know this is a bit sudden.

But we go way back and
I've always loved you.

Will you make me the
happiest man on earth...

by marrying me?

It is absolutely beautiful.

- It's so big.
- Of course, it's big.

- Where did you get it, Max?
- A family secret.

Well, I'm so happy for you.

- What is going on?
- Sienna.

What are you doing?

No, you can't seriously be
thinking of marrying Max.

- Hey.
- Not now, Max. Yola?

- Yola, what are you doing?
- I'm getting married to Max.

No, you don't even like
Max. You never have.

- Things have changed.
- No.

You're right.
Things have changed.

They did something to you in
there and they changed you.

- I know what I'm doing.
- No, you don't know what you...

You're making a
scene. You're drunk.

- f*ck off, Rudy.
- Go.

Now.

Oh, careful.
Careful. Here we go.

Huh-uh. Okay. Let's...
Let's sit you down.

Careful. Oh, there you go.

Whoa, take a load off, huh?

There we go.

We gave you something just...
Just to take the edge off.

Just to help you
relax a little bit.

Yeah, you see this...

There's no gays or
lesbians in my family

and we're gonna keep
it that way. Okay?

We are gonna straighten you out.

God, you're such a
tiny little thing.

Yeah, okay, okay.
Calm down. Yeah.

You're gonna like it, trust me.

Let me show you.

There you go.

You... f*cking b*tch.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Sure.

Find the little c**t.

Hey!

- Thanks for fetching me.
- Oh, yeah.

Well...

you wanna come inside?

- Really?
- Really.

Huh? Wait? Wait? Come back.

- Don't move or you lose it.
- Sienna, what is this?

What did they do to
Yola in the basement?

Yes! Yes!

- Yola?

- Yola?

- Yola?

Um, I'm getting you help.

Sienna, I told you
there isn't... Ah!

- You lied.
- Oh, f*ck. f*ck.

Okay, I lied. I'm sorry.

I'm an idiot. Please
don't... Just don't...

f*ck. Sienna, they didn't
give me much of a choice.

This f*cking town.

There's no one they can't
control except you and...

I love you.

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

You're gonna mess up my... No.

No, no, no!

- Yola?! Yola?
- Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Where... Where's Yola?

Where's Yola?

Uh, what are you doing?

- What?
- I'm so sorry, Max.

- Hey.
- No.

- No.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- It's okay. It's
okay. It's okay.

I'm sorry. Look... Look at me.

- The women escaped.
- What women?

Fort Vannenburg. Max, if
they talk, we are done.

- Okay. Hunting season?
- Huh? Okay.

Go get 'em.

You should have listened to me.

It's all falling
apart because of you.

Jacob would never
let it get to this.

- I told you.
- You told me?

And how does that help? k*lling
that thing? That would help.

She won't stop until
she gets what she wants.

Yeah, and what's that?

- Sienna's baby.
- Over my dead body.

And Sienna.

You, you are out of
your f*cking mind.

No one touches her or the
baby. Do you understand me?

- Oh.
- Hey! Do you understand me?

Yes.

Good.

No.

You know what my
father always said,

never trust something that bleeds for
five days straight and doesn't die.

- Go! Get through!
- Hey, Max.

Hey, Rudy! Don't miss
the fun, brother.

- Whoo-hoo!
- Come on, man!

Goddamnit. Jesus!

Auntie Dora, where's Yola?
I know what they did to her.

Oh my God. What
happened? Are you okay?

- Mamlambo.
- What?

- Where's Yola?
- She's... She's fine. She's fine.

Where is she?

Come. We'll take you to her.

Come.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Whoo-hoo!

There, there, there,
there, there. Go on, go on.

Get them!

Whoo-hoo!

Got her right in the kidney.

- There's another one.
- Okay, mine, mine, mine.

Go, boys!

- Oh, you're bloody useless.
- Come on!

- Let's go! Run her over. Faster.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Yola?

Yola?

Yola?

Dora, please, what
are you doing?

It's for the highest good.

Dora!

Please!

Dora!

Hold on, hold on.
Help is on the way.

I thought I got rid of you.

It's not that easy.

- I'm back.
- Well, that's a pity.

'Cause you just f*cked
everything up for me.

It's always been
about you, isn't it?

- I'm just taking what's mine.
- Haven't you taken enough, Rudy?

You k*ll everything you touch.

The children, the women,
the animals, this land.

Stop whining. The women and
animals are ours to use.

When you look at these trees around
you. Tell me, what do you see?

I know that one is in
the wrong f*cking place.

- You see wood and money?
- Yeah, what do you see?

- I see shade.
- Oh, very holy.

Well, you like the giant snake
that ate everything in his path,

only to swallow his own tail.

Hey, who the f*ck
are you to judge me?

I know who you are.

Yeah, you talk big
about freedom and greed,

but all you want is
what I already have.

You are just a sl*ve who dreams
of having a sl*ve of his own.

No, Rudy. Can you not see
that all of this is connected?

The living, the dead.

The soil, the water. Even you
and I are connected, my brother.

Well, in that case, this
is gonna hurt us both.

Rudy?

Rudy!

The f*ck are you doing?

Don't you see, Rudy?
It's for the best.

I won't let you do it.

- Ah!

I always knew you were weak.

You never had it in you.

And now look what you've done.

You've ended 200 glorious years

of dominion over this land
and all that lives on it.

And for what?

Sienna.

Oh, great one.

Take our offering.

Balance the scales.

And leave us in peace.

Go away. Go away,
go away, go away.

Oh God, no.

- No, no, no. Get...

Please. Please,
God, don't k*ll me.

He's the only one in there.

Please. Please, no,
no, no, no, no. Please.

- Oh God. Please don't...
- Max.

Yola? Oh, God.

- I thought you were the monster.
- Don't.

- We have to go. No, no, we have to...
- Don't touch me.

Hey.

- I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry for, Max?

For leaving you.

But I... I went for help.
I... I thought you were dead.

I know what you did.

Yola, you have to understand,
okay? I did it for us.

- For us?
- Yeah.

- For our people. For our land.
- You nearly destroyed me.

It worked, okay. You
brought the rain.

You shoved your shame
deep inside of me.

I carried it for you. I'm here
to give it back to you, Max.

And then you lied to me.

You looked me in the eyes,
you cried real tears.

You told me such bullshit
and I believed you.

But I'm done.

The bar is closed,
come back at 12:00.

I said, "The bar is closed."

Clara?

What exactly did she say?

She says she likes
you very much.

And she's given us her blessing.

Thank you.

I wanna keep the baby.

Did you hear what I said?

I said I wanna have the baby.

I know things need
to change, but...

I need you here.

And I need things to be
different than it was for us.

Mm-mm.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Oh, that's the end of that then.
