WEBVTT

00:15.000 --> 00:16.875
You were lying.

00:16.958 --> 00:18.875
- You were just pretending. Huh?
- First you insult me,

00:18.958 --> 00:20.958
now you want to hurt me?

00:21.041 --> 00:22.833
Joyce! You're gonna hurt me!

00:22.916 --> 00:24.625
Please tell me, how many days was it?

00:24.708 --> 00:27.166
Was it two days, three days?

00:27.250 --> 00:30.916
Or you couldn't even wait
to slither under her skirt

00:31.000 --> 00:33.250
after we renewed our vows?

00:33.333 --> 00:34.625
And what about firing her?

00:34.708 --> 00:36.041
You were pretending,

00:36.125 --> 00:39.958
just like you always pretended
with all the promises you've made to me.

00:40.041 --> 00:44.708
Jo, I need you to tell me
because I need to have some order

00:44.791 --> 00:46.750
- in my head.
- Joyce.

00:46.833 --> 00:49.291
Because if I don't get it, I swear!

00:55.541 --> 00:57.041
Okay.

01:02.333 --> 01:03.583
It… It was that day,

01:04.250 --> 01:08.041
when I lost it with Menzi.

01:08.125 --> 01:10.291
- You hear me? Stand up!
- Jo, let go of him!

01:10.375 --> 01:12.541
I left the house
and… and went to the office.

01:14.375 --> 01:16.625
I-I was just going to get some fresh air.

01:16.708 --> 01:17.916
Your affair with the minister ends today.

01:18.000 --> 01:19.583
- Understood?
- Don't insult me.

01:19.666 --> 01:21.250
Who do you think you're slapping?

01:21.333 --> 01:23.333
You are mine. Do you hear me?

01:23.416 --> 01:26.625
I didn't know she'd be there.
She just walked into my office.

01:26.708 --> 01:28.666
I was vulnerable.

01:28.750 --> 01:30.625
She took advantage of that.

01:43.000 --> 01:44.000
And…

01:48.041 --> 01:52.125
after that night, uh, mmm,
I stopped talking to her.

01:53.541 --> 01:57.000
I blocked her number
and-and told her that I chose you.

01:57.083 --> 01:58.708
- Uh…
- Baby.

01:58.791 --> 02:00.416
How do you choose me…

02:02.041 --> 02:06.083
then go and impregnate another woman?

02:07.833 --> 02:09.000
- I begged her. I begged her…
- Uh-uh.

02:09.083 --> 02:10.500
- …to terminate it.
- Uh-uh.

02:10.583 --> 02:11.500
I begged her.

02:13.333 --> 02:15.041
I feel like dancing.

02:20.708 --> 02:22.750
I wanted to tell you.

02:22.833 --> 02:25.250
When did you want to tell me?
While you were away?

02:25.333 --> 02:27.208
- Or after your business trip?
- No.

02:27.291 --> 02:28.458
Where were you going again?

02:29.708 --> 02:30.916
New York?

02:31.000 --> 02:32.958
- Or Washington?
- I'm an idiot, Joyce.

02:33.041 --> 02:34.166
I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot.

02:34.250 --> 02:35.833
I grew up with nothing.

02:35.916 --> 02:37.833
I had no mother,
and my father was always drunk.

02:37.916 --> 02:40.416
Like Magesh,
all he ever wanted from me was my money.

02:40.500 --> 02:42.500
He didn't care about me.
He was pretending.

02:43.375 --> 02:45.333
You also wanted to use me.

02:45.416 --> 02:47.041
No, my love.

02:47.125 --> 02:48.291
No.

02:49.083 --> 02:51.333
I made a mistake.

02:51.416 --> 02:54.416
- I'm sorry. Please forgive me, my love.
- Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.

02:54.500 --> 02:57.666
- Please forgive me, Joyce.
- No.

02:57.750 --> 03:01.083
I'm sorry, my love. I'm sorry.

03:12.208 --> 03:14.083
Welcome, Mommy.

03:15.375 --> 03:17.083
It would've been better

03:17.166 --> 03:20.708
if the father of these kids
was actually here.

03:20.791 --> 03:24.208
Geez, friend. What do you mean?

03:24.916 --> 03:26.500
Didn't… Wait a minute.

03:26.583 --> 03:29.666
Didn't you and Jonasi agree
that since you have kids together,

03:29.750 --> 03:31.166
you're going to be a happy family?

03:33.833 --> 03:37.416
Uh, but, friend, I mean,
you can't take care of these kids alone.

03:37.500 --> 03:40.041
Oh, Zodwa. Give me a break.

03:40.125 --> 03:43.125
I'm still in pain from giving birth.
I've got cramps all over my body.

03:43.208 --> 03:45.833
And this talk is going to make
my stitches burst.

03:45.916 --> 03:48.708
Sorry. It's just… I thought that

03:49.875 --> 03:52.333
since you've given him twins,
he'll be your man alone.

03:52.416 --> 03:53.750
He is my man.

03:54.291 --> 03:58.083
The reason he's not here is because that
witch decided to faint at the hospital.

04:01.083 --> 04:02.166
Don't hurt yourself.

04:03.833 --> 04:05.166
Uh, I have to go.

04:07.750 --> 04:10.000
You have to go? Why?

04:10.083 --> 04:11.708
Didn't you take the day off?

04:11.791 --> 04:14.416
We're not all lucky
to give birth for Mr. Gomora.

04:14.500 --> 04:16.166
Some of us have to work.

04:16.250 --> 04:18.750
No, it's fine. It's fine.

04:18.833 --> 04:20.333
You can go. I'll be all right.

04:21.583 --> 04:22.750
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

04:32.791 --> 04:34.416
Wow! Wow.

04:35.500 --> 04:37.833
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, baby.

04:38.625 --> 04:40.333
Oh, it's okay.

04:40.416 --> 04:42.375
Okay.

04:59.583 --> 05:01.458
Why are you just sitting there, Menzi?

05:01.541 --> 05:03.708
This is the part
where you get out of my car, bro.

05:05.416 --> 05:08.250
I don't know if you heard the commotion
between Mom and Dad last night.

05:09.333 --> 05:10.916
They were arguing non-stop.

05:12.333 --> 05:14.708
Tonight,
we have an interview with Mapaseka,

05:14.791 --> 05:18.375
and apparently, we're supposed
to play this big happy family.

05:18.958 --> 05:21.208
Ah, you know how your mom is.

05:21.291 --> 05:24.500
She doesn't mind smiling
and pretending like everything is fine.

05:24.583 --> 05:25.583
Yeah.

05:26.166 --> 05:29.375
She's obsessed with this Ivory Oasis.

05:29.458 --> 05:32.458
It's the only reason
she's still with Jonasi.

05:37.375 --> 05:40.625
Menzi, if Mom actually lost
this deal of hers, being an influencer,

05:40.708 --> 05:42.333
do you think she'll still be with Dad?

05:43.375 --> 05:44.541
Why?

05:44.625 --> 05:46.833
What makes you think
that Mom could lose her job?

05:48.333 --> 05:50.291
I don't know if I'm messing it up,

05:50.375 --> 05:54.000
but if I tell Mapaseka the truth
tonight in the interview, that…

05:55.250 --> 05:56.750
…their marriage is falling apart.

05:56.833 --> 05:58.000
- Mm-mmm.
- It's toxic.

05:58.083 --> 06:00.333
And that Jonasi never misses out
on a chance to let us down.

06:00.416 --> 06:02.500
No, don't you dare do
what you are thinking right now.

06:03.166 --> 06:04.916
Don't do it. Mom will never forgive you.

06:05.000 --> 06:06.333
What do you know, Menzi?

06:07.208 --> 06:09.958
And besides, I'm be setting her free.

06:11.208 --> 06:12.416
<i>I have to try and do something.</i>

06:15.291 --> 06:16.708
Jo. Wait.

06:16.791 --> 06:18.416
- Jonasi, just hold on.
- What?

06:18.500 --> 06:19.958
- What's wrong with you?
- What? I want to…

06:20.041 --> 06:20.875
Where are you going?

06:20.958 --> 06:22.708
You will not go to see her
and just leave me here. Do you hear me?

06:22.791 --> 06:24.250
- Joyce, I'm going to see my children.
- That's if they're yours.

06:24.333 --> 06:25.750
- Are you sure these are really your kids?
- Stop it.

06:25.833 --> 06:29.125
No, no! If they're really your kids,
then take them and bring them here

06:29.208 --> 06:30.291
so they can live with us.

06:30.375 --> 06:31.375
- Live with us?
- Yes!

06:31.458 --> 06:32.708
Matipa won't allow that.

06:32.791 --> 06:33.958
- Don't you dare do that.
- Do what?

06:34.041 --> 06:36.291
Don't ever mention
that witch's name to me.

06:36.375 --> 06:37.958
I don't have time for this, Joyce.

06:38.041 --> 06:39.333
- Jonasi, no. No!
- Don't do this.

06:39.416 --> 06:41.333
Do what? What am I doing wrong?

06:41.416 --> 06:43.708
- By protecting my family and my marriage?
- Oh?

06:43.791 --> 06:46.875
When you were in the hospital
getting your tubes tied,

06:46.958 --> 06:49.166
- were you protecting your marriage?
- Don't make this about me.

06:49.250 --> 06:50.250
No, please. Answer me.

06:50.333 --> 06:52.125
Don't turn this around
and make it about me.

06:52.208 --> 06:53.458
No.

06:53.541 --> 06:57.416
- No. No, Jo, no! Jonasi.
- Stop, stop. Joyce!

06:57.500 --> 06:59.208
- Jo!
- Joyce.

06:59.291 --> 07:00.833
- Jonasi!
- What are you doing?

07:00.916 --> 07:02.000
- Joyce!
- Uh-uh.

07:02.083 --> 07:04.125
- Stop it, Joyce. Let go of me.
- You're not going. No!

07:04.208 --> 07:06.416
- Joyce, just let go of me.
- No, no, no. Don't do this.

07:06.500 --> 07:08.833
- What are you doing?
- No! Don't leave me. Don't leave.

07:08.916 --> 07:11.125
Please. Please.

07:11.750 --> 07:13.166
Please.

07:13.250 --> 07:15.166
Okay, okay.

07:15.250 --> 07:17.625
Fine. Then let's get inside the house
and talk about this.

07:17.708 --> 07:19.083
Okay, baby.

07:19.166 --> 07:20.875
- Please.
- Get up. Get up, my love.

07:20.958 --> 07:22.500
- I won't leave.
- Okay.

07:22.583 --> 07:25.166
Let's talk things through because…
Come on. Come, stand up. Get up.

07:26.166 --> 07:28.541
People are staring at us.
We're in the suburbs.

07:28.625 --> 07:31.875
We can't do this. No, baby.
That's not how it's done.

07:31.958 --> 07:33.500
- You can't do that.
- I don't care.

07:33.583 --> 07:34.583
Let's go inside.

07:34.666 --> 07:36.416
Jonasi! Jo!

07:36.500 --> 07:38.541
Jo! Jo.

07:38.625 --> 07:40.750
- Stop it. Uh-uh.
- No, Joyce. Let me go.

07:40.833 --> 07:43.375
- No, no, no. Uh-uh, Jo.
- Joyce. Joyce, let go.

07:43.458 --> 07:45.375
Don't leave!

07:45.458 --> 07:48.125
Jo! Jo! Jo!

07:48.208 --> 07:49.708
Jo!

08:13.541 --> 08:14.791
Aw.

08:15.958 --> 08:17.375
Come in.

08:30.750 --> 08:32.875
Thank you, Mom.

08:32.958 --> 08:34.000
For coming.

08:35.333 --> 08:38.833
Why does it seem like you're alone here?
As a new mother to twins?

08:38.916 --> 08:41.333
- Where's their father?
- He's not here.

08:41.416 --> 08:43.541
Let me guess.

08:45.166 --> 08:48.708
- He's with his family? His real family?
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.

08:48.791 --> 08:50.791
Mom… Mom, please. Not now. Please.

08:50.875 --> 08:53.083
Your problem is that you don't listen.

08:53.166 --> 08:56.833
You're very stubborn. Huh?

08:56.916 --> 08:59.625
Aw, my baby. Sounds like you have hiccups.

08:59.708 --> 09:00.875
Give me my grandchild.

09:01.416 --> 09:03.541
Bring her to me. Give me my grandchild.

09:03.625 --> 09:05.625
Bring her. Come to Granny.

09:05.708 --> 09:08.500
- Hello, baby. Hello, baby.
- Oh, Mommy 's coming. Mommy's coming.

09:08.583 --> 09:10.875
Hello, you little one.
Hello, granny's child.

09:10.958 --> 09:13.750
Mommy's coming. Oh, I'm sorry.

09:13.833 --> 09:16.750
Here we go.
We're going to stop these hiccups.

09:16.833 --> 09:18.625
There we go. Uh-huh.

09:18.708 --> 09:19.708
Goodness.

09:19.791 --> 09:21.583
Hello, little one.

09:21.666 --> 09:24.416
They'll be gone.
The hiccups will be gone, baby.

09:24.500 --> 09:26.458
- Hello, baby.
- Mmm.

09:26.541 --> 09:28.083
Hello, baby.

09:35.541 --> 09:37.583
- Jonasi Gomora.
- Gosh!

09:37.666 --> 09:40.458
The top dog himself.

09:40.541 --> 09:43.666
Oh, man. You're back so soon
from Washington.

09:43.750 --> 09:46.041
Oh, stop it. Stop it.

09:46.791 --> 09:47.875
So you were lying?

09:49.041 --> 09:50.791
Ugh.

09:52.708 --> 09:54.083
Matipa gave birth.

09:54.708 --> 09:56.333
- But then…
- Hmm.

09:56.416 --> 09:59.208
…then Joyce decided to show up
at the hospital.

10:01.458 --> 10:03.500
Then again, she was bound to find out.

10:05.458 --> 10:06.708
You know what I think, Brother?

10:08.833 --> 10:10.875
You overestimate that woman's loyalty.

10:10.958 --> 10:13.208
I swear to you, one day you'll wake up
and she'll be gone.

10:13.291 --> 10:14.291
Oh, never.

10:15.000 --> 10:16.375
I love Joyce.

10:18.125 --> 10:19.166
<i>Very much.</i>

10:21.083 --> 10:23.791
Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. I've hurt her.

10:25.291 --> 10:26.500
<i>I've humiliated her.</i>

10:27.166 --> 10:28.791
<i>But Joyce loves me.</i>

10:28.875 --> 10:30.708
- You see, Joyce and I…
- Mmm?

10:31.416 --> 10:33.250
…'til death do us part.

10:33.333 --> 10:34.708
- Yeah.
- Only by death.

10:37.375 --> 10:38.916
<i>Oh, we'll see.</i>

10:45.208 --> 10:48.958
<i>It's you and me. For good this time.</i>

10:51.375 --> 10:53.291
<i>I'm not going anywhere.</i>

10:53.375 --> 10:54.791
<i>I love you.</i>

11:06.541 --> 11:08.750
<i>As we speak, there's another Gomora lady</i>

11:08.833 --> 11:10.541
<i>down the passage, giving birth.</i>

11:33.541 --> 11:35.208
<i>How did you get my number?</i>

11:35.958 --> 11:39.416
<i>Sithole. He was my dad's old contact.</i>

11:42.666 --> 11:44.708
Do you know how to use it?

11:59.083 --> 12:01.416
Will you remember what I have shown you?

12:31.208 --> 12:32.625
- Ha!
- Lower your voice, please.

12:32.708 --> 12:34.333
- What's wrong?
- You'll wake the kids.

12:34.416 --> 12:35.416
Oh.

12:36.958 --> 12:38.291
Listen.

12:38.958 --> 12:40.416
When did your mother arrive?

12:41.125 --> 12:42.541
- When did she arrive?
- Mmm.

12:42.625 --> 12:45.041
- You're hurting me. You're hurting me.
- Hmm?

12:45.125 --> 12:47.791
Oh? Okay, I'm sorry.

12:48.375 --> 12:49.875
I'm sorry.

12:50.416 --> 12:51.458
Mmm. I'm sorry.

12:51.500 --> 12:53.791
Stop what you're doing. Please.

12:53.875 --> 12:55.500
But, baby, I want you.

12:55.583 --> 12:58.125
I want to know what Joyce said.

12:58.208 --> 13:01.083
Let's go and chat.
Let's go that side. Let's go--

13:01.166 --> 13:02.583
I have to wait…

13:02.666 --> 13:04.875
…at least six weeks
before I can do anything.

13:05.458 --> 13:06.666
Six weeks?

13:07.583 --> 13:09.666
I won't be able to wait that long.

13:10.208 --> 13:12.166
Feel this. Feel this.
I can't wait that long.

13:12.250 --> 13:13.375
Hmm?

13:13.458 --> 13:14.458
Feel this.

13:14.541 --> 13:16.958
I'm not gonna let my stitches tear
because you can't wait.

13:17.041 --> 13:19.041
In case you've forgotten, Jonasi…

13:19.125 --> 13:20.666
…I had a C-section.

13:21.375 --> 13:22.458
Okay then.

13:23.041 --> 13:26.041
But there are other ways. Hmm?

13:26.666 --> 13:28.166
Your mouth works, right?

13:29.625 --> 13:31.583
Let that mouth work. Hmm?

13:33.500 --> 13:35.375
Put that mouth to work, baby.

13:35.458 --> 13:37.250
Get to work, baby.

13:37.791 --> 13:39.083
- Get to work.
- Uh, Jonasi.

13:39.166 --> 13:40.375
Get to work, baby.

13:40.458 --> 13:43.041
Be quick. Get to it. Get to it. Get to it.

13:43.125 --> 13:44.333
Get to work.

13:53.708 --> 13:55.625
Uh-uh. Slow, slow, slow.

14:03.291 --> 14:06.125
For real, are you going to do
what we spoke about earlier?

14:06.208 --> 14:07.208
What?

14:07.291 --> 14:09.166
Exposing our parents' marriage
to Mapaseka?

14:10.291 --> 14:11.333
Of course.

14:11.416 --> 14:14.416
It's the only thing that will save Ma
from this toxic marriage.

14:18.541 --> 14:19.791
Will you help me?

14:20.625 --> 14:21.833
I'm not crazy.

14:22.625 --> 14:23.916
You're a coward.

14:25.125 --> 14:26.791
- Hello, everyone.
- Hi.

14:27.708 --> 14:30.458
- Has Mapaseka arrived, or what's going on?
- Uh-uh.

14:30.541 --> 14:31.791
So why are you nervous?

14:31.875 --> 14:33.458
Can you see? She's nervous.

14:33.541 --> 14:35.375
- Relax and calm down.
- Yes.

14:35.458 --> 14:37.958
Listen to Sarah. Calm down and relax.

14:38.041 --> 14:40.000
Look at yourself. You look like Beyoncé.

14:40.083 --> 14:42.041
Stop it, you two.

14:42.791 --> 14:44.541
Okay, let me change into my outfit.

14:44.625 --> 14:47.541
I'll help you because we can't have
this Beyoncé's make-up all messed up.

14:47.625 --> 14:48.791
Oh, stop it.

14:48.875 --> 14:51.250
Menzi, excuse me, please.
I want to change.

14:53.916 --> 14:55.666
Can I have a word with you?

14:59.625 --> 15:01.166
Uh, Lindani…

15:03.333 --> 15:04.875
I wanted to…

15:06.666 --> 15:07.958
I wanted to apologize

15:09.375 --> 15:10.583
for what I did to you.

15:11.208 --> 15:13.291
Is that how you do things, Menzi?

15:13.958 --> 15:15.083
Hmm?

15:15.166 --> 15:17.125
You go around kissing every girl?

15:17.208 --> 15:18.875
No. No.

15:18.958 --> 15:21.666
The thing is, you…
you're not just any girl to me.

15:21.750 --> 15:24.208
I tried sending you messages.

15:24.291 --> 15:25.291
I saw them.

15:29.083 --> 15:30.666
Lindani, I like you.

15:32.708 --> 15:34.416
I like you too, Menzi.

15:36.166 --> 15:39.166
But you're my friend's brother.

15:40.458 --> 15:42.333
That doesn't mean anything.

15:42.416 --> 15:43.791
I'm dating X. You know that too.

15:43.875 --> 15:45.541
Please give me a chance to…

15:46.458 --> 15:48.500
to show you how much
I really care about you.

15:49.750 --> 15:51.416
I want to show you how much I love you.

15:51.916 --> 15:52.958
You love me?

15:56.708 --> 15:57.916
Come on, Menzi.

15:58.000 --> 15:59.875
Let me go help Mpume get ready.

16:00.375 --> 16:01.916
Fuck. Fuck.

16:06.500 --> 16:07.541
Mom.

16:14.875 --> 16:17.208
Hey. You're so beautiful.

16:17.291 --> 16:18.791
Yes.

16:18.875 --> 16:21.833
- Oh. Okay. Hello.
- Yes. Hello.

16:21.916 --> 16:25.333
My Hayley-Hayley. Aw. She's smiling at me.

16:41.625 --> 16:44.833
Huh? Come on.

16:47.625 --> 16:48.875
I have to take this.

16:50.125 --> 16:51.250
Hello?

16:52.458 --> 16:53.458
Joyce.

16:55.166 --> 16:58.708
<i>I've had enough time</i>
<i>to really think things through.</i>

17:01.458 --> 17:02.958
Come home, Jo.

17:04.500 --> 17:06.708
So we can figure a way out.

17:07.333 --> 17:09.291
<i>Oh. Okay.</i>

17:10.083 --> 17:13.458
<i>I'm glad you're much calmer now.</i>

17:14.958 --> 17:17.583
Okay. I'll make my way home soon then.

17:30.208 --> 17:31.208
Jonasi.

17:32.458 --> 17:33.458
Hmm?

17:34.416 --> 17:36.416
Is this how it's always going to be?

17:37.166 --> 17:39.875
Every time Joyce calls,
you're gonna drop everything?

17:39.958 --> 17:42.250
The babies and I,
and then just run to her?

17:42.333 --> 17:44.333
Joyce is willing to meet us halfway.

17:45.416 --> 17:47.625
I think we should hear
what she has to say.

17:47.708 --> 17:49.208
Of course that's what she'll say.

17:49.791 --> 17:52.041
She's only saying that
to lure you back, and it's working.

17:52.125 --> 17:54.375
You didn't hear how she sounded
over the phone. You didn't hear her.

17:54.458 --> 17:56.666
- I heard her.
- I don't care about Joyce.

17:56.750 --> 17:59.750
I need you right now. I need you.

17:59.833 --> 18:01.500
What would you like me to do?

18:02.541 --> 18:03.541
Ignore her?

18:03.625 --> 18:05.708
Plus, you're not alone.
Your mother is here.

18:05.791 --> 18:07.875
You know what? Maybe everybody's right.

18:07.958 --> 18:08.958
About what?

18:09.041 --> 18:12.291
That you're always going to
make this about Joyce and her feelings.

18:12.375 --> 18:13.583
I need you to have empathy,

18:14.208 --> 18:18.500
especially considering the manner
in which Joyce found out about the twins.

18:19.708 --> 18:21.708
Also, she's fragile right now.

18:22.750 --> 18:24.041
She needs me.

18:28.208 --> 18:30.875
- Are you coming back?
- See what I mean? You know what?

18:39.958 --> 18:43.166
That look says you have something to say,
Ma. Please, not now.

18:46.041 --> 18:47.416
- Ma?
- Mm-hmm?

18:48.958 --> 18:50.250
Just a minute.

18:52.958 --> 18:55.458
Listen. I'm gonna need…

18:56.458 --> 18:58.416
a small favor from you.

19:00.666 --> 19:02.250
Jonasi is on his way home.

19:02.875 --> 19:07.625
And I think it's time for us to have
a conversation in private.

19:08.666 --> 19:10.458
Can you please take the kids out?

19:10.541 --> 19:12.583
Mapaseka is downstairs,
ready to do the interview.

19:12.666 --> 19:14.375
- What's wrong?
- I'm canceling it.

19:17.208 --> 19:18.666
Are you all right?

19:20.500 --> 19:24.333
I'll be all right once I've spoken to
my dear husband.

20:09.916 --> 20:11.291
Joyce.

20:23.375 --> 20:24.541
Are you there?

20:36.208 --> 20:37.291
Joyce?
