(indistinct chatter)

Hey, sleepyhead.

Time to get up, boy.

-Thought I forgot? -What is it?

-Open and see. -(paper tearing)

(gasping) This is the one with the... V12 engine, right?

Happy birthday, boy.

Shit.

-(light-hearted music) -(children chattering)

You should park your bike inside at night because the other day,

both Leroy bikes and Carlo's bike got stolen.

No one's gonna steal my bike, Byron.

(rap music)

(dogs barking)

And I need your son to stop stealing my Bar Ones, okay? So, get going!

Hey! Take it easy! You know he doesn't mean anything by it.

Hey! Mind your own business.

And you, get going. Now, before I call the cops.

Fine. We'll go somewhere else.

-What do you want? -R50 electricity.

(Ethan in distance) Tansey! Tansey!

-There you go. -What's this?

(children shouting indistinctly)

Remember, Samantha's picking you up today, okay?

Do you maybe think Mom is coming back for my birthday?

(school bell ringing)

Go on, you don't wanna be late for school.

(suspense music)

(rap music)

(all greeting)

Hi, Tony. What week you in?

(engine starting/revving)

Hey, man. Is this the best you could do?

Short notice. What is the matter with that?

The camshaft's stuffed.

(rap music over car radio)

-(music stopping) -(doors closing)

(suspense music)

(plastic rustling)

(rap music over car radio)

-Huh? -Pieter.

(radio switching off)

There's a car behind us. I think it's following us.

Just now.

(gun cocking)

-(tyres screeching) -(fast-paced music)

(engine struggling)

-What the f*** are you doing? -It's the car! I told you!

-(gun firing) -(Tony screaming)

(Tony) Hey!

(gun firing)

-(taxi hooting) -(indistinct shouting)

(ominous music)

(Hercules) Tony.

Boss.

(Damien) Hey, Herc!

Kleintjie's got nothing to do with his brothers. They hate him.

They'll be glad that this happened.

But do you know this Kleintjie?

(stammering) Not really. I just see him sometimes with his mommy.

Okay, so you know him?

You talk to him?

I wouldn't say that I know him. I...

I just see him around. And he doesn't say much. He's simple.

(ominous music)

Relax, I just wanna talk to him.

Maybe he knows something about his brothers that can help us.

Why are we going this way?

To get koesisters to celebrate the last day of school. Come.

Byron and Ethan.

What a nice surprise. I just made a fresh batch earlier.

Can I get two packs of six, please?

Byron really loves them.

-It's just a treat for today. -Oh, okay. (chuckling)

Can you wait a bit?

I just wanna go inside quickly and get some fresh ones, okay?

-Go wait at the corner for me. -Why?

You want koesisters, or not?

No! Thank you for yesterday.

(dramatic music)

(softly) F***.

(tense music)

(men chuckling)

I had an Uncle Percy. A strong man. Smart, too.

(Damien) I think so, too.

-What kind of names? -Retarded.

A real family will never call you that.

You see, if you're with us... we won't let nobody treat you bad.

Not your brothers, not anyone.

Because we stand up for each other.

We can stand up for you, too. Would you like that?

Good.

But to join us, we will want you to do something first.

(dramatic music)

Take this gun, go to your brothers' house, and shoot one of them.

Your brothers weren't just mean to you, they were mean to us, too.

But Ma says shooting people is bad.

Not if you do it to help the people you love.

You'd do it for your ma if she was in trouble, right?

Now you're gonna do it for us... and we'll become your family.

Tony, this isn't right. He doesn't even understand what he's doing.

We cannot help him.

(suspense music)

-Very slowly, squeeze. -(revolver's hammer clicking)

(cylinder shutting)

(tense music)

-(rap music) -(Tony chuckling)

Told him I'd wait for him.

(indistinct shouting)

(tense music)

-(gun firing) -(Kleintjie groaning)

-(tyres screeching) -(gun firing)

(Ethan) Get in! Get in!

(Ethan) F***! S***...

If you take him to your guy, he can make it! Please!

-Please, Damien, please! -Yeah, and after that?

Please, Damien! Please, please, Damien! Damien, please, please!

Please, Damien. Please, please. Please Damien. Please.

(screaming) No, leave me! Leave me alone!

Leave me! Leave me! Damien! Damien--

-(gun firing) -(ambient sound fading)

(high-pitched ringing)

-(ambient sound returning) -I told you not to bring him back!

(gasping/whimpering)

(groaning)

(crickets chirping)

(handbrake releasing)

(upbeat music over speakers)

(police siren wailing)

(dogs barking in distance)

(sombre music)

(whimpering)

(dog barking)

What the f*** you doing?! Try to steal my car?!

S***, no! I'm not trying to steal anything!

What? Speak or I let her go!

-I got robbed on the road. -Robbed?

That's why I jumped your wall, that's why I'm in your car.

-I was just hiding out, I swear! -(dog barking)

(tongue clicking)

-Get out. -(dog whimpering)

(dog barking)

Did you get that last night? It looks pretty bad.

Yes, one of the guys had a knife. Look, I'm really sorry. I'll leave.

No, no, no, wait. You'd better clean it up first.

There. Sort yourself out.

-What's your name? -Ethan.

-I'm Shane. That's Charlize. -(whimpering)

Named after the actress.

Sorry.

I'm only joking, bro.

-(Ethan) Is that your dad? -Yes.

Is he here?

So, I have the house to myself most of the time. It's pretty sweet.

-Where are you from? -South side.

What were you doing this side this time of the night?

Was at a party.

Wasn't really my scene, so I left.

I was walking home when those guys robbed me.

So, what's with all the tools and the broken car out back?

The tools, that's my dad's, and the car, that's all mine.

-Fixing it up or something? -Sorta. I'm into spinning, the sport.

Is that doughnuts with cars?

There's a little more to it than that, bro. Check here.

This is my crew. I'm the mechanic.

The one at the back, that's Jackie. He's our stuntsman.

And the other one, that's our driver, Robin.

-(knocking at gate) -Speak of the devil.

I don't understand why you won't just put in a good word for me?

'Cause she's my sister, Jackie. I'm not gonna let you s***w her.

-Why not? Huh? -Because family's off limits.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yes, yes... Who's this?

Oh, Jackie, Trevor, this is... Ethan.

Got robbed last night, took shelter here in my yard, and now he's here.

-Where's Robin? -(cellphone vibrating)

Makes a whole f***ing thing about us working on a Saturday-- Hey!

And he can't even show up on time.

-You can chill with us if you want. -Nah, I have to go.

But thanks for the help, though.

Sure, bro. Maybe I'll see you around.

-Hey! -Bro, I'm just looking out for you.

(doorbell chiming)

-Hey, Ethan. You hungry? -Hi, Jenny. No, thanks. I'm okay.

-Oh. Damien and them is upstairs. -Okay.

(sighing)

Sit there.

(TV switching off)

I was worried when we didn't hear back from you last night.

Did you do what I asked?

Anybody see you out there?

No.

Okay.

Word is Lester took a serious gut wound.

Survived...

but either way, I reckon the brothers got the message.

All thanks to you.

(sombre piano music)

I know what happened to Kleintjie wasn't easy.

But it would've taken five of our guys to get into that house.

Kleintjie just walked through the front door.

Did what's best for the family.

You can see that.

I need to go. Byron's home alone.

(Sophie fussing)

(indistinct chatter)

-Whole night? -I know. I'm really sorry, Samantha.

Byron, come, your brother's here!

(Byron) Where was you? I was worried.

Oh, I'm fine, boy. Was just busy.

-Here. Take it, it's yours. -Why?

I know you're going through a difficult situation, but...

I'm sorry, I just can't do this anymore.

Just don't bring Byron here again, okay?

-Samantha, please... -No. No.

(cartoons over TV)

(banging on door)

Hide behind the couch.

I said hide behind the couch, Byron!

(dramatic music)

(panting)

(door unlocking)

-Tony, what the hell? -Damien is looking for you.

I only just got home a couple of hours ago. What's this about?

Fine.

-(Ethan sighing) -(Byron) Who was that?

Just a friend. I have to go out for a bit.

But you said we can't even go outside?

Don't argue with me, Byron. Come here.

Listen... I need for you to stay in this house

and you do not open the door for anyone, okay?

-Promise me, Byron. -Okay.

(whispering) Okay.

(dramatic music)

(handbrake creaking)

(door squeaking)

(Pieter gasping)

(Pieter groaning)

Come back looking for money stashed under your bed.

(Pieter grunting)

(Damien) You thought we weren't watching?

Stupid and greedy.

(gasping)

(Pieter grunting)

(coughing)

(grunting)

(Damien) Look at him...

He caused all this s***!

(Pieter breathing heavily)

He's the reason why Kleintjie's dead.

You want him?

He's yours.

(whimpering)

Do it for Kleintjie.

You sure?

(pistol cocking)

(whimpering)

(ambient sound fading)

-(ambient sound returning) -(Damien grunting)

(suspense music)

But you know what they say about time...

"It makes you wise."

(whimpering)

(engine switching off)

Don't worry. I know you wouldn't do it.

Because you're not like everybody else around me.

That's what I like about you.

Then why did you offer me the gun? To make me look bad?

To remind you...

what you are and what you're not.

I'll always take care of you.

Just like I've done since the very first time you came to me.

You know that, don't you?

(door opening/closing)

(keys jingling)

(indistinct chatter)

(door creaking)

Byron?

Byron?

Byron?!

Byron!

Byron!

By?

-Ethan? -You got Byron?

-No, why would I have him? Ethan?! -Byron!

Ethan! Ethan!

(sombre music)

Byron!

Byron!

Byron!

Byron!

(sombre music)

Byron!

Byron!

I told you not to leave the flat alone! Why would you do that?!

(Kayla) He wasn't alone. (chuckling)

Thank you.

(Kayla) You want one?

(Kayla) He was inside all day. I took him out to play. What's the big deal?

-(Ethan) I thought someone took him! -(Kayla) Why would you think that?

(Ethan) The door was left unlocked!

(Kayla) 'Cause my keys don't work no more. Did you change the locks?

What are you doing back here, anyway?

-I'm home, Ethan. -(scoffing)

-I've sorted myself out. I'm clean. -(scoffing) Bulls***.

I joined a church in Paarl. They have a programme.

I, I haven't used in months. It helped.

"It helped"?

Well, who helped your two children

who you just left with a R500 and a f***ing note?

-I won't leave again. -(Ethan scoffing)

(stammering) I will get a job and take care of yous.

-Then we can be a family again. -Look here...

We were doing just fine without you, Kayla.

This is not your home anymore.

-(Byron) No! -Go back to your room, Byron.

I want her to stay. She's our mom.

Please... just one last chance. Please, Ethan.

Please.

F***!

(Jenny chuckling)

-(Sophie crying) -Okay, baby. Okay, baby.

(water running)

-(ambient sound distorting) -(groaning)

(ambient sound returning)

Damien? (tense music)

-(Ethan) Please! -(Jenny) Damien!

(Ethan) Damien, please.

-(flapping) -(Pieter groaning)

(gasping)

(exhaling heavily)

I was wondering when you were gonna come out.

Here, take your food. Go to the table.

Um... The fridge was empty, so Byron and I went to the shops.

-With what money? -I have a little. You hungry?

You can hate me on a full stomach.

(sighing)

Mommy made it special for my birthday.

Mm. Only three days late.

I was thinking... When I get a job, I can put Byron in day care,

so you don't have to watch him all day.

I told her about Samantha.

Shame, Tansey was handing that out at the shops.

Apparently, Percy went out and never came back home. (tongue clicking)

-Byron was saying you guys saw him. -We see him around all the time.

I was thinking of going to visit Tansey

and bringing her something to eat.

-Why? -It's the right thing to do.

Since when do you care about doing the right thing?

(knocking on door)

(sighing)

Ethan, you saw him that day. Did he say anything? Huh?

Maybe that he wanted to go somewhere or--

No, nothing, Aunty Tansey.

-(sombre music) -(sighing)

There's a chance he's still okay.

(Tansey sobbing)

(sombre music)

I gotta go.

Ethan?

(suspense music)

Shane!

Shane! Shane, you home?!

-(gate rattling) -Shane! S***.

What's with you climbing f***ing walls, bro?

You think you're Spiderman? What you want?

-(Ethan sighing) -Is this it?

Must've come off when Charlize came at me.

Lucky I found it, bro.

I would've called you, but I don't have your number.

-Yes, it was a birthday present. -Better look after it then, bro.

You seriously never been, bro?

Happens every second Sunday there up on The Hill, you know.

You can come with if you want to.

I don't know. I should probably head home.

Right, bro. Maybe next time.

-Shane! -Huh?

Wait there, I'm coming.

-(car engine revving) -(Shane) Hear that, bro?

That's the sound of someone burning out.

-Burning out? -Yes, you'll see.

(rap music)

-They call it the lollipop. -Why?

Because it looks like a lollipop.

-(upbeat rap music) -(crowd cheering)

-(tyres screeching) -(whistling)

We try and make a name for ourselves bro, and go pro.

(crowd cheering)

-Performance fees, sponsorship deals. -(crowd cheering)

Hey, there's even a competition two months from now.

-Red Bull Burn Out. -Ah.

First prize is 400K. Sorry.

(crowd cheering)

That was my face the first time I also saw it, bro.

-(indistinct conversation) -(rap music over speakers)

Yes, yes. You guys remember Ethan?

Do you ever try getting some of that in your mouth.

-That thing under your nose. -(scoffing)

Next time you decide to show up this late, rather stay at home.

What's he doing here?

Same reason why everyone else is here. To watch you spin.

Nah, nah, nah, Jackie. I'm flying solo this round.

The driver's a really nice guy, hey?

I know. But it's his car, so...

-(upbeat rap music) -(engine revving)

(crowd cheering)

(engine failing to start)

-Who's that? -It's Amber.

One of the best spinners in The Hills.

She just came back from a big gig in Jozi.

(crowd cheering)

(engine failing to start)

(tyres screeching)

(both laughing)

(ambient sound fading)

-That's crazy! -(Shane) Next levels, bro!

-(ambient sound returning) -(crowd cheering)

(engine revving)

-(crowd cheering) -(engine revving)

(Shane) So, what do you think?

(engine revving)

(light-hearted music)

(ambient sound fading)

-(distant shouting) -(dog barking)

(sombre piano music)

-Do you want this money? -Yes, sir.

-See that phone there? -Yes, sir.

-I want you to call the police on it. -Yes, sir.

Say what's written on this note and nothing else. And then you hang up.

-Got it? -Yes sir, I think so, sir.

(dramatic music)
