(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

PHILIPPA: 'Lexi-lou!'

You were phenomenal. Radiant.

Aww, thank you.

I don't think you've met Nandi.

I'm also Kholwa's mum.

Thank you.

Can't have been easy,

right here, it was...

The first time we kissed.

Don't give Jason ideas.

We are celebrating.

Uh, since when am I on a diet?

No, you agreed.

You can have some of my fries.

I couldn't keep my eyes off you.

Oh, it's... It's his loss.

My gain.

BOTH: (CHUCKLE)

A great play, Ms Ballard.

Gary Clayton will tell you

You two seem close.

Yeah, he's good to me.

Are you...spying on me, Ms B?

I'm just looking out for you, Lexi.

You don't have to worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

MELANCHOLY PIANO

You put your poison in

To something that was pure

You might as well have created

A sickness with no cure

Cos she'd do anything for love

She'd do anything for love

It doesn't mean she wants this

She doesn't know what love is

There's a place down by the lake

Down by the lake...

GARY: 'Stupid bitch!'

Down by the lake

Reflections I can see

They're holding me

They're holding me...

GARY: 'Stupid bitch!'

You're a cocktease!

Won't let me leave

For the monster I can see

Is inside me

Is inside me

There's a place down by the lake

Down by the lake

Down by the lake

Reflections I can see

They're haunting me

What are you doing?

It's not healthy, Jo.

She was our daughter.

Wallow?!

You're behaving as if she left us...

It's been 19 years!

I know how long it's been.

You have to let it go,

otherwise it will destroy us.

I think it already has.

(WHIMPERS)

Silhouette of you

Like a shattered...

PUNK ON PHONE SPEAKER

(GRUNTS)

I look you up and I look you down

(MUSIC STOPS)

Piece of shit.

(BELL TOLLS)

MOIPONE: 'You know this is our spot.'

Why the hell are you so triggered?

They kind of do.

Listen here, Megan.

You don't own this quad.

Actually, there's a recent land claim

by the school founders

with no running water or electricity.

They pay rent for their own land.

MOIPONE: (CLEARS THROAT)

KATE: Hello?

SHANE: Hey.

(CHUCKLES)

What happened to you?

Right.

Look, 80% of this footage is mist.

So, we'll see.

But there's something else, uh...

KATE: Yeah?

Completely forgot to mention it.

Fuckin' easy.

What are you saying?

You know... Dylan.

I'll go talk to him now.

Take care of yourself.

"If you believed in equality,

OK, well...

..thanks for letting us know.

"Are you calling me a monkey?"

"It's a figure of speech in English."

So?

Crimen injuria.

What's that?

It means you could go to jail, Gary.

(CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

Little bitch.

This is a...

Mr Tough Guy, huh?

OK, fine.

Fine, I'll sort this out.

Yeah. Fine.

I'll sort this out.

Whatever!

Are you OK?

You're not your dad.

Yeah, but they don't know that.

It'll blow over, Meg.

Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

No, no, no. Meg, please.

So, she doesn't care about you.

Oh, and you do?

And there it is.

All I'm saying is that

(UNINTELLIGIBLE WHISPERS)

Kate.

What can I help you with?

the night that Lexi died?

Yes, of course.

What's this for?

I know, it's fine.

Sure.

(PHONE RINGS)

Sorry.

Hello?

Sorry, who is this?

You have got to be kidding me.

(WHISPERS) Fuck.

Sorry.

Lose the docket.

Fuck it, man.

This is a storm in a teacup.

That's your udaba.

Me, I'd crawl to stay out of court.

Yeah, well, let them try.

They won't have to, Gary.

Fuck it.

I will not be bullied.

Here's what I'm going to do.

I'll wrap everything in the red tape,

That's the best I can do.

Gary.

Keep your nose clean.

Thanks.

I told you, Mum.

A girl died at my school.

Sorry I've been a bit preoccupied.

Ms Ballard?

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm here on some private business.

Private business?

What sort of private business?

I asked you a fucking question.

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Excuse me?

Fine.

We will discuss this later.

Yeah, yeah.

(WHISPERS) Who is that arsehole?

Let's go, Mum.

Next.

(BELL RINGS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Jenna?

Why aren't you in class?

Hi, Ms Ballard.

Jenna, what is going on?

I need to get to my dorm, please.

It was cool.

Mm-hm.

My parents can't afford that.

The Claytons help you out?

More than that.

They pay for everything.

That's very generous.

Do you know what that means to me?

That means that I fit in around here.

Not even Gary?

No.

..you can tell me.

Because you're hiding something.

I promise you...

Ms Ballard.

If you don't mind?

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

No.

She'll just freak out.

Maybe you should, Jen.

Come on. Hang on.

Here. For panic attacks.

Don't these make you really sleepy?

Guys, I need to study.

Jason's gonna get some uppers

OK?

OK, well then, this is it.

Jen.

Oh, gosh. Thank you.

(BELL RINGS)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Sorry, Megan. Come in.

MEGAN: Oh, it's OK.

Yeah.

I just wanted to check up on you.

How are you holding up?

Well, everyone's avoiding me, so...

They feel out of their depth.

It's not just that.

It's the stuff with my dad as well.

He was angry at the memorial.

He wasn't angry. He was sad.

I mean, he loved Lexi too.

And now no one sees that

Were Lexi and your family very close?

Hm.

Must've hurt.

No.

So, your dad and Lexi...

but Lexi would've hated it anyway.

I mean, she would have preferred

in the chapel or something.

(CHUCKLES) Right.

In fact, I...

I wanted to make it up to her.

How?

Well, Lexi loved poetry.

I mean, poetry is so boring.

Have you written her a poem?

(LAUGHING) No, don't be crazy.

Sorry. Um, yeah.

That is an amazing idea.

To have the confidence.

Yeah, well, I...I don't.

Um, so, that's where you come in.

Of course.

Yeah. Do you know which poem then?

Well, she had a few favourites.

Um, I need to choose one.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

Cool.

(WHISPERS) Sorry.

(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)

MUSIC: "Little Ghost" by Lucy Kruger

My love, my little ghost

My heart, my sinking boat

So let's burn it down

And get to the ground

MEGAN: 'So, what do you see?'

LEXI: This does not look good.

Deceit.

Betrayal.

(LAUGHS) I'm kidding!

(LAUGHS) I was a bit worried!

We're stuck with each other for good.

LEXI: 'Happily ever afters.'

Everything we ever wanted.

Megs, you move to Joburg.

JENNA: 'What about me?'

that you're so obsessed with.

(CHUCKLES) Columbia.

LEXI: 'Uh-huh.'

JENNA: 'What about you, Lex?'

(THEY LAUGH)

..Jason and I move back here.

(SCOFFS) Please, Lex.

MEGAN: Mm-hm.

You're not stuck if you choose it.

And do you know, that way...

..if you're sad or...

..or scared...

..you'll know where home is.

MELLOW PIANO AND GUITAR

Walked out of the dark into my head

The night was dark as any

Must've been crazy

Let go!

Up to? You attacked me!

There was a reason you were there.

We snuck out for a drink.

Bullshit.

Please tell me...

Did you see Lexi?

What exactly are you asking me?

Why was your hand bloody?

Like Lexi?

(LOCKS DOOR)

Are you saying I killed her?

She's a kid!

I saw you after the play!

Telling her to call you.

Holding her close.

Her father is a piece of shit.

that I was...I was there for her.

You saw a vulnerable kid

with fucking daddy issues

and then what?

You went for it!

She's my fucking daughter's age!

I thought you were into it.

I'm sorry, Kate. I'm...

It's...

You know, I lose my mind.

I know, I know. OK?

I'm... I... I lose my temper, but...

Get off my stoop.

Get...

I'm sorry.

(SHOUTS) ..off my stoop, Gary!

(GASPS)

(WHISPERS) Jesus.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Hi.

Is Ms Ballard here?

How are you, Megan?

Like something's missing.

Something you can never get back.

But God's always there for us.

I wish I felt like that.

Sometimes in chapel, I feel...

Nothing?

God doesn't only live in churches.

Come with me.

My group starts in 15 minutes.

(LAUGHING) OK, yeah.

I need you to calm the situation.

Racial tensions are escalating.

Talk about it.

Bring the issue out into the open.

To what exactly are you alluding?

This.

Us.

The stolen moments in your office.

A restaurant.

(WHISPERS) Fuck.

CHOIR AND GUITAR

I worship

You

Lord, I give you my heart

I give you my soul

I live for you alone

Every breath that I take

Every moment I'm awake...

(MUSIC BECOMES MUFFLED)

Lord, have your way in me

(MUSIC STOPS)

The photos, from Dylan.

Good morning to you too.

Oh, rough night?

Yes.

Jesus. Just drop it, Shane.

Fine.

KATE: Hm.

No.

We don't know that it was his.

He buy you off, Kate?

Don't be a fucking douche.

What? It's just I don't get it.

Whittaker looks ready to kill.

We cannot ignore that, Shane.

So, how did that make you feel?

Good, actually.

Really good.

You looked...peaceful.

Happy.

Radiant, even.

(CHUCKLES) I did?

Yeah.

Aww.

ATMOSPHERIC

Looking deep inside

I'm gonna find you

Looking deep inside you

Think I'm hearing voices now

Playing in the shadows

Nothing even matters

I'm goin' round and round

Ring-a-ring-a-roses

Taking heavy doses

I can start to feel it now

(MUSIC FADES)

Hey.

(CHUCKLES) Hi.

Mind if I bum one?

Well, technically, I've quit.

BOTH: (LAUGH)

Thank you, ta.

everything that's going on.

You have no idea.

I haven't seen him this tense

I hadn't heard?

Must've been before your time.

They caught her with drugs.

Megan?

Yeah.

I didn't think she was the type.

No one did.

Whittaker was set to expel her.

And then Mr Clayton got involved.

Actually, no. Lexi went to see him.

The whole thing magically gone.

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

What the hell are you looking at?

Oh, no, nothing.

to murder me on my farm.

Sorry, what?

You know, Mr Clayton's right.

Why are you so triggered?

Five men with assault rifles.

Did you know that?

Yeah.

Neighbour's land was invaded too.

My parents own that land, legit.

No. Leave it.

Yeah, go on. Walk away.

Sarah!

You need to calm down.

Yeah, and neither is Moipone.

(SIGHS)

Moipone!

Moipone!

You need to apologise, fam.

Apologise for what?

drive us apart in here.

Then they need to stop instigating.

I know! But you need to...

(SHOUTS) But what?!

The whites are upset now?

You're a sell-out, Kholwa.

Do you know that?

(SIGHS)

DOWNBEAT

Under the lights

And all of this noise

Watch me falter

Slip through the ice

Carry my conscience

Carry my heart...

Oh.

Great. Basic bitch number three.

Who were you with?

I don't know what you mean.

Your shirt's inside out, babe.

Who were you with?

Just the sexiest guy in the world.

Do you wanna smoke?

I'm not gonna tell if you don't.

Come on.

(SIGHS)

I thought this place was off limits?

So who's your bae?

Someone.

From St Ambrose.

And you?

I thought you and Jason were over.

This one's way more exciting.

I lied about that tree, you know.

Megan's mum didn't plant it.

Bitch.

Sorry.

BOTH: (LAUGH)

Thanks.

Silence fills me

Strips me apart

Carry my conscience

Carry my heart

(MUSIC FADES)

(MOUTHS)

(CHUCKLES)

MEGAN: Me too.

KATE: Good. I'm glad.

Can I ask you something?

I... Um...

I don't know. Why?

Afternoon, Ms Ballard.

Uh... Bye.

(QUIETLY) I didn't tell her anything.

We're not fighting.

You know that I love you, right?

I'm freaking out here,

but you are my best friend.

And I do love you.

I don't think you do, Jen.

Megan.

She's gone now.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

What can I do for you, Ms Ballard?

Why do you hate her, Mr Whittaker?

What does she have on you?

I'm telling you to drop this, now.

Sit down.

(DOOR CLOSES)

and I restrained her.

I lost my cool.

She didn't convince me.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, she tried.

Lexi could be a little snake.

But no.

..threatened me.

They made the problem go away.

The Claytons?

Don't be naive.

(SIGHS)

Losing a child...devastates you.

or however much you may hate me...

Lexi's death was a tragic accident.

but there is no one.

Hm?

Consider this a final warning.

Are we clear?

Yes, sir.

PENSIVE PIANO

Like a shattered dream

I once had

Take her home

Staggering to our place

(MUSIC FADES)

I lied about the cufflink.

It was Gary's. I ripped it off.

Why?

OK. (CLEARS THROAT)

We had emptied his hipflask

and we were looking for more booze

and I thought that was the end of it.

Jesus.

But why didn't you say anything?

Cos I fucked up.

Right, so, OK...

pretty much the same time Lexi died.

And you think Whittaker did it?

I don't know who did it, Shane!

No one seems to have a motive.

And everyone seems to have one.

Oh, there's a tree alright.

Do you have any?

What?

Secrets.

No.

(SIGHS)

No. I swear.

The truth from now on.

Yeah.

The truth.

Megan. Wait.

There's no monopoly on grief, OK?

Lexi was my friend too.

Since when?

You didn't have all the tea on Lexi.

And you still don't.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

(SIGHS)

MELLOW GUITAR AND PIANO

Walked out of the dark into my head

Moon's high and stargazing

(MUSIC STOPS)

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

MELLOW PIANO

Open your eyes

Let's lie on the grass

Think of the stars

As still as a stone

As still as a stone

Turn out the lights

Switch off your phone

Follow the signs

Follow me home

Reach for the things you like

And I'll go on

All we have

Is time
