[bunniefuu]

‪[Joyce]
‪There's nothing left between us.

‪[Jonasi] ‪The only way I'll be leaving you

‪is the day they put me
‪in a coffin and bury me.

‪[Ntombi] ‪Ma'am! Joyce!

‪Mpume!

‪-‪Mr. Gomora! ‪[sobbing]
‪-[Jonasi groans]

‪-[doctor] Mrs. Gomora.
‪-[gasps]

‪Doctor. [stammers]

‪[exhales]
‪Unfortunately, he hasn't woken up.

‪[gasps, breathes heavily]

‪[stammers] Um…

‪Hold on please.

‪What are you saying to me?
‪Do you mean my husband won't make it?

‪-No.
‪-Is my husband dead?

‪No, no, no. Uh…

‪He's alive and he's stable for now.

‪Be that as it may,

‪it's evident that Mr. Gomora
‪ingested poison.

‪[eerie music plays]

‪[stammers] Poison?

‪We were able to pump it
‪out of his stomach.

‪Wow.

‪This is shocking news.

‪How can Jonasi do this to us?

‪We have children together.

‪Mrs. Gomora, do you suspect
‪that it's self-induced?

‪[exhales] I don't know what to say.

‪Doctor, what I do know is that
‪lately we have been having issues.

‪But suicide?

‪Wow.

‪[stutters] I don't know.

‪Let me get back to work.

‪I'll keep you updated on everything.

‪-Thank you.
‪-Thank you.

‪[siren wailing]

‪[exhales]

‪[clicks tongue]

[Sarah] ‪Dad, what happened to our picture?

[Jonasi]
‪The world does not revolve around you.

You need to stop
‪behaving like this. Okay?

[chuckles]

["Nyoni Yami" playing]

[clears throat]

[Sarah] Mom.

Were your test results positive?

[sighs] Mm-hmm.

[Essie sighs]

Maybe I should've married Magesh.

I know, right?

[Essie sighs]

[sighs]

[exhales]

‪[music continues]

‪[rhythmic beeping]

‪[Jonasi exhales]

‪Brother.

‪Brother.

‪[music ends]

‪[Magesh] Hey.

‪You're awake?

‪Yeah. Where am I?

‪Hospital.

‪-You're going to be fine, Brother.
‪-Hospital?

‪In fact, let me call the doctor.

‪Doctor!

‪Mr. Gomora.

‪Oh, I'm glad to see that you're awake.

‪What happened to me?

‪Unfortunately, Mr. Gomora…

‪you had a mild heart attack.

‪[Joyce] Today, we stick to the same story.

‪My husband had a heart attack.

‪We're taking this to the grave.

‪Mrs. Gomora, you arrived just in time.

‪[Jonasi] Joyce.

‪[sighs] You frightened us.

‪How soon can we take my husband home?

‪-[stammers] Home?
‪-[Jonasi] I want to go home, Brother.

‪You know I hate hospitals.

‪If I can request
‪for Mr. Gomora to get some rest.

‪We still need to run a few more tests.

‪Then we'll take it from there.

‪Jo.

‪Are you okay?

‪Yes, I'm okay.

‪Don't worry about anything else.
‪You'll be okay.

‪What are your thoughts
‪or your views on beneficial ownership?

‪[phone buzzing]

‪Uh, just… just give me a second.

‪-[phone beeps]
‪-Jane, are the kids okay?

‪I'm in an interview. I'll call you later.

‪I'm in an interview. I'll call you.

‪Okay, fine.

‪[phone beeps]

‪I'm… I'm so sorry about that.

‪Beneficial ownership?

‪Um, to… to be honest,
‪I hadn't really studied the act in depth.

‪I see. [sighs]

‪That'll be all for now.
‪We'll keep in touch.

‪Thank you. I… I look forward to it.

‪f*ck. [sighs]

‪There's no way
‪I'm getting that job. [sighs]

‪But you know what? It's fine.

‪Minor setback.

‪It doesn't change the fact
‪that I'm getting the hell away from here.

‪Friend, how will you survive
‪with two kids without a job?

‪[clears throat] Let's drink.
‪Let's drink.

‪Mmm. Mmm. This is really good.

‪-[smacks lips] Ooh. [sucks teeth]
‪-[sighs]

‪-[Zodwa clears throat]
‪-[phone buzzes]

‪-[sighs]
‪-[phone chimes]

‪[smacks lips, grunts]

‪[smacks lips]

‪[Jonasi sighs]
‪Let me rest on the couch.

‪Maybe I should've stayed

‪-longer at the hospital.
‪-[Joyce exclaims] Mm-mmm.

‪Imagine if word got out
‪that the CEO was hospitalized.

‪-That would surely tank the share price.
‪-Mmm.

‪[exclaims] You're fine here at home.

‪Besides, you're a strong man.

‪-Wow.
‪-You know it's true. You're a man.

‪-Come on.
‪-This is nothing to you.

‪All right.

‪One more thing.

‪I want to apologize
‪for almost leaving you guys.

‪Hmm.

‪And I want you to know
‪that I'm not going anywhere.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-I'm here to stay.

‪-[moans] I promise.
‪-Sleep, love.

‪-Mmm.
‪-We thank the Lord

‪for that, my love.

‪[both moan]

‪[both chuckle]

‪Let me give you your medication
‪before I leave.

‪I had already taken those.

‪These are antibiotics.

‪You infected us with an STI.

‪All of us.

‪Take your medication and end all of this.

‪Leave them on the table.
‪I'll take them later.

‪I'll come check on you.

‪[Jonasi] It's you and I forever.

‪Until death do us apart.

‪Jonasi and Joyce.

‪[Sarah] Mom?

‪Hey.

‪Mom, I don't think you should be drinking
‪alcohol while you're on medication.

‪Oh, Sarah, my child.

‪I know, but I have so many problems.
‪Good lord.

‪Someone almost died from a heart attack

‪and no one even bothered
‪to tell me about it.

‪-What's going on?
‪-I forgot to call you. I'm sorry, Essie.

‪The problem is Jonasi.
‪He was supposed to call me.

‪He only remembers me
‪when his wives deny him what he wants.

‪-He always wants--
‪-Stop.

‪[chuckles] No, don't stress about it.

‪You don't have to hide the truth.
‪I know my dad is wicked.

‪[Essie] Wicked is an understatement.

‪Your father is useless.

‪Him and that idiot wife of his.

‪[sighs] Don't stress about people
‪who don't care about you, Mom.

‪You're right, my baby.
‪I really don't care.

‪From now on,
‪I'm living my life and that's it.

‪[phone buzzing]

‪[Essie] Tholakele?

‪-[chuckles]
‪-[Magesh] Um…

‪Is that your new girlfriend?

‪-Huh?
‪-[Essie] Magesh, relax.

‪The secret is out. Everyone is
‪living their lives. Live yours too.

‪-Yeah, her name's Tholakele.
‪-[Essie] Mmm.

‪[stammers] She's a chartered accountant.

‪Oh, wow.

‪She's a wonderful woman.
‪I see a future with her.

‪-Oh, wow, Magesh. [chuckles]
‪-[chuckles]

‪-You've found the one, hey.
‪-[giggles]

‪Pick up the phone before she dumps you.

‪[giggles]

‪[phone beeps]

‪Hello, my size.

‪-[door opens]
‪-How are you?

‪-[Essie chuckles] Oh, well.
‪-[door closes]

‪[door closes]

‪[Jonasi] Joy-Joy!

‪Oh.

‪It's you.

‪You're drinking my alcohol.

‪Listen, when you're done
‪destressing with my alcohol,

‪get me some water from the kitchen.

‪[thuds]

‪Why don't you go and get it yourself?

‪I beg your pardon?

‪I said get your own water!

‪Who are you talking to like that?

‪Huh?

‪You've grown a pair.

‪I'm still your father!

‪You don't have any ba*ls.

‪-You're still scared of girls.
‪-[door slams]

‪You're just a weakling!

‪It would really be great if you could do

‪an immediate transfer into this account.

‪[dramatic music plays]

‪[phone buzzes]

‪We're going to need Mr. Gomora
‪to authorize this transfer.

‪Have you forgotten
‪that Mr. Gomora is my husband

‪and I have every right to this account?

‪It's a huge sum of money.

‪As a primary account holder,
‪we need him to sign.

‪But didn't I just tell you
‪that he's in hospital?

‪How's about I drive to him
‪and have him sign there?

‪How's about I wheel him in here
‪along with his life support

‪for the whole damn world to see?

‪I'm simply following protocol.

‪[Matipa] Really?

‪You know what? It's fine.

‪I'll have him call you,
‪confirm the transfer,

‪while praying to God
‪that I don't lose my husband.

‪[music continues]

‪Mrs. Gomora, please wait.

‪I'll transfer the money,
‪and I'll sort it out with Mr. Gomora.

‪The money should reflect in about an hour.

‪Thank you.

‪[music ends]

‪[Jonasi] Joyce.

‪Joyce!

‪This is Joyce Gomora. Leave a message.

‪Hello, Essie here.

‪-‪I can't take your call right now.
‪-Joyce!

‪-‪Hi, this is Matipa. I'm not available.
‪-[sighs]

‪[Matipa] ‪Our marriage is built on a lie.

‪You deceived me into believing
‪I was your second wife.

‪Hello, this is Lindani.

‪-‪I'll get back to you.
‪-I'm done being your toilet!

‪-Let go of my mother, you b*stard!
‪-I hate you.

‪All the love I had for you…

‪Where are you going?

‪Off to see your sugar daddy?

‪What are you doing here, Menzi?

‪Tell me something, Lindani.
‪What's wrong with you?

‪You know, I don't expect you
‪to understand my situation.

‪You're right. I don't understand
‪this sh*t that you're doing.

‪You know, I wanted to love you.

‪I wanted to… [inhales sharply]

‪I wanted to…

‪I wanted to marry you.

‪Make you my wife.

‪Make me your wife?

‪Menzi, you and I never dated.

‪Nothing has ever happened between us.

‪What? Is he giving you money?

‪-Huh? Do you want money?
‪-[dramatic music playing]

‪I'll give you anything you want.
‪Do you hear me?

‪Whatever you want.
‪I'll give you anything you want.

‪Let me go, Menzi. Are you mad?

‪Go to hell. [scoffs] Gosh.

‪Listen here, you sl*t.
‪I'm still talking to you.

‪How much is he giving you?

‪Let me go.

‪[music stops]

‪-[birds chirping]
‪-[dog barking]

‪[Jonasi clears throat, sniffles]

‪I see you decided
‪not to take your medication.

‪Where have you been?

‪Excuse me?

‪You left me here unattended.

‪You know I just came
‪out of hospital, right?

‪Oh, whatever.

‪-Joyce.
‪-Oh, come on now.

‪Don't walk away from me
‪while I'm talking to you.

‪[Joyce] Oh, please. Stop it.

‪-My gosh.
‪-Excuse me.

‪Have you forgotten I'm your husband?

‪[scoffs]

‪You're my husband?

‪You're my husband only when it suits you.

‪You left me here alone unattended.

‪You're out gallivanting? Huh?

‪-Are you a lady of the streets now?
‪-Lady of the streets?

‪I'm asking you,
‪what else did you want from me?

‪Did you want me to put you on my back?

‪Or put me on my chest and breastfeed you?

‪That would've been a start.

‪[scoffs] Please.

‪You're not a child.

‪Neither are you.

‪But here you are.

‪I take care of you.

‪Even these clothes you're wearing,
‪I'm the one that bought them for you.

‪But have you ever heard me complain?
‪Have you ever--

‪As if you qualify to complain.

‪Gomora, listen.

‪Even on your greatest days,

‪don't ever forget that I made you.

‪Ah.

‪-My father gave you an opportunity.
‪-Oh?

‪Gave you a seat at the table
‪when all you were worth

‪was nothing but crumbs off a dog's plate.

‪We saved you from Soweto
‪and made you who you are.

‪You would still be trash in Soweto
‪if we didn't rescue you.

‪I made you.

‪[clicks tongue, scoffs]

‪-Hey! What the f*ck has gotten into you?
‪-[scoffs]

‪[chuckles]

‪Who do you think I am? Huh?

‪You and that father of yours,

‪-is he listed on the stock exchange?
‪-No, he's not, but I am.

‪Don't you dare forget
‪that there are two J's in your company,

‪and one of those J's is mine, Jonasi.

‪[chuckles] Okay.

‪You seem to forget

‪this little township kid,
‪this dirt you're talking about,

‪gave everything to you,

‪made you a wife.

‪Even that precious
‪father of yours who died,

‪it was me.

‪I helped him.

‪I alone!

‪Nonetheless,

‪50% of everything that you own

‪is all mine.

‪["I Got the Drip" playing]

‪[patron whistles]

‪Hey, look at you. [laughs]

‪I'm gonna get some.

‪Yes, my boy. [chuckles]

‪Do it, my boy. Go have some fun.

‪-[chuckles]
‪-f*ck the b*tches.

‪f*ck the b*tches.

‪They can f*ck off out of here.
‪f*ck Lindani.

‪-[both chuckle]
‪-[Freedom] Have a blast. Enjoy the ride.

‪-[music ends]
‪-[Matipa] Okay.

‪ID, birth certificates, vaccination cards.

‪[Jonasi] I was in hospital.

‪You didn't even come to check on me.

‪-You're not picking up my calls.
‪-[clears throat]

‪You're ignoring my texts.

‪I'm ignoring your texts?

‪-You can go f*ck yourself, all right.
‪-Oh?

‪When last did you check on me, Jonasi?
‪As your wife?

‪When last did you check on your kids?
‪Or did you forget about them?

‪I was sick.

‪And all you care about is yourself.

‪-Okay.
‪-Yeah.

‪Because you're unwell,
‪the whole world needs to stop.

‪-[exhales]
‪-I'm also sick, Jonasi.

‪-[scoffs]
‪-Or have you forgotten about that?

‪I'm sick. You made me sick.

‪Don't tell me that bullshit.

‪I could've died.

‪But you don't care about that.

‪-I wish you were dead.
‪-You wish I was dead?

‪-I wish you were dead.
‪-Me?

‪Do you care about me?

‪Or anyone else, for that matter?

‪Do you f*cking care?

‪Oh.

‪[chuckles]

‪You want me to show you personally

‪how much I care about you?

‪Is that what you want?

‪You want Daddy to show you who he is?

‪[Jonasi moaning]

‪[Matipa strains]

‪What the f*ck?

‪What the f*ck?

‪[screams]

‪Who do you think you're hitting?

‪-You wanna fight me? Huh?
‪-[breathing heavily]

‪-Your husband?
‪-Did you just slap me, Jonasi?

‪You slapped me.

‪-You slapped me.
‪-You're my wife. Do you hear me?

‪When I say spread your legs and let me in,

‪you will do exactly that. Are we clear?

‪-You want to sleep with me?
‪-No, I don't. I want to f*ck you.

‪-You want to sleep with me?
‪-I want to f*ck you.

‪You're done with your b*tches?

‪-My b*tches?
‪-Huh?

‪You're done with your b*tches
‪and want to sleep with me now?

‪Yes, what's wrong with that?

‪You b*stard. You want to sleep with me?
‪You want to--

‪-[grunts]
‪-You want to sleep with me?

‪-[screams, grunts]
‪-Huh?

‪[gasps]

‪What are you trying to prove? Huh?

‪-[panting]
‪-You have no respect.

‪You lack discipline.

‪-I'll teach you today.
‪-[breathing heavily]

‪You thought you could take my money
‪and I wouldn't find out?

‪You thought I wouldn't find out?

‪You thought you'd take my money
‪and I wouldn't find out?

‪-[screaming] Okay, I'm sorry!
‪-Come here. Come here.

‪[Ashley, Hayley crying]

‪-Come here. Come.
‪-[screaming]

‪[racy music playing]

‪[Jonasi] ‪You're such a coward, my boy.

‪Why are you so slow?

‪[moans]

‪[sucks teeth, moaning]

‪[Matipa yelps]

‪-Move!
‪-Piss off!

‪[screams, sobs]

‪[lock clicks]

‪-[in Zulu] You like this?
‪-[grunts] Menzi.

‪-You want me to be an as*h*le?
‪-Menzi.

‪You want me to be an as*h*le like Jonasi.
‪That's what you want?

‪[panting]

‪-[Jonasi] You think I'm a piece of sh*t?
‪-My love.

‪-Do you think I'm a piece of sh*t? Huh?
‪-[crying] No.

‪-Huh?
‪-[wailing]

‪-What do you think I am?
‪-[sobbing]

‪-[screams]
‪-Do you think I'm your fool?

‪-Am I a piece of sh*t?
‪-Uh-uh.

‪-[Jonasi] ‪What are you doing?
‪-[Joyce] ‪Menzi!

‪[Mpume] ‪You're hurting him!

‪Stop doing that.

‪I said cut that sh*t out, b*tch.
‪Get out of here.

‪[sighs] f*ck!

‪-[screams]
‪-You thought you were smart.

‪-[groaning]
‪-Not anymore, huh?

‪-[groans]
‪-Not anymore.

‪I'm not playing with you, b*tch!

‪-I'm not playing with you.
‪-[screams]

‪[no audible dialogue]

‪What did you think you were gonna get?
‪Huh? What did you think I'd do?
