Original subtitles

I don't fucking do drugs, I'm not a loser.

I sell drugs. I sell them to losers.

Please wake up. Or I'm gonna kill myself.

I love you so much.

I went off to change the world

and Andrew... Andrew wanted the world to change to suit him,

so I guess we were more similar than I thought.

Andrew McKenzie was a murderer!

And there are other murderers in this room!

And we say, stop the murder!

Let's go, boytjie. Come!

- You wanna come in here? Come! - Shoot me! Shoot!

- Your brother, he liked to watch. - Darling, I think that's enough...

I don't think he'd done it himself in years.

Is this true?

Yes, that's right.

We all have our secrets.

What about you?

I had a baby.

Do you have a preference?

Daniel.

And I gave him away.

"I've always wanted to be the kind of voice

"that the ear flows up and down

like an arrangement of notes that will never be... "

"As if it were an arrangement."

"As if it were an arrangement of notes

that will never be... "

"As if it were an arrangement of notes

that will never be played again."

You told Dad you wouldn't drink in the day any more.

But Dad doesn't have to know everything.

But secrets are bad.

Secrets are bad when you're a child.

When you're an adult, they're an independent lifestyle choice.

Turn the kettle off, it's just me.

There he is.

There she is.

Son.

Father.

- Hey, Dad. - Hey.

Thought you were having dinner with Macky?

Yeah, I had to pick up some papers.

Oh, Dad, Daniel knows all the lines better than I do.

McKenzie men remember.

- Oh, and also... - Hello.

Yes. Yeah?

Hey, Daniel. Do you know everyone else's lines too?

- Like who? - Like Robert.

"And so we beat on, boats against the currents

borne back ceaselessly into the past." Something like that.

- Life is so easy for you. - It's just words.

I'll be late.

I'll try survive.

Take care of these two.

Will do.

- Bye, Dad. - Bye, boy.

Bye, Dad.

See you later.

Yep.

Come on, let's go finish.

Let's go.

Yeah, listen, I'm gonna need some more of that product, all right?

No, no, no, I need at least a kilo.

Oh, hang on, bro. I'm gonna call you back. I'll call you back.

What the fuck?

- That's my fucking sister, bro! - No I wasn't, I swear...

Fuck!

You come here again, I'll fucking kill you, Robert.

Well, she flexed her fingers,

- which on the Glasgow Coma Scale... - But she's not awake.

She's regaining consciousness.

Doesn't look like it.

I'll give you a moment.

She will wake up.

You don't know that.

Daniel, I spoke to Werner Weber today, after the memorial.

I just...

- I wanna say... - Hello?

You still owe us, clever boy.

No, I gave you the money already. I'm clear.

That was just drug debt. Magiet died cause of you.

There's blood money. 150 grand.

Don't try me.

I'm not as nice as Magiet.

I was just telling your sister I want to help.

I wanna be there for you as your family

but I'm gonna leave that decision with you two.

Daniel. You okay?

I'm fine.

So, what did you do yesterday?

Nothing, you know. Just going over lines for the play.

And were you also trying on makeup?

Putting on pantyhose?

Hmm?

You know what I did at your age?

I learned to box.

Can you box? Or just acting?

- Pappa, stop. - Hey.

- Stop it. - Ha! Yes.

Yes, so! Time to challenge the old bull.

Come on, get your hands up.

Come, come, come. Up! Defend yourself.

- Come, come, come. - Stop it.

- Stop it. - Yeah!

Kapow!

Come, let's see what you've got. Come!

Maybe next time.

"Suspect Pearl Gappah

"is being held on charges of theft, and conspiracy to murder.

"Prime suspect, boyfriend Tendai Kanhema

"still at large, presumed to be in Zimbabwe.

"No other suspects are currently being considered

and active investigation is suspended."

You stand by this?

Yes, ma'am.

Well done, Forty.

Thorough investigation.

- You're back on form. - Thank you, ma'am.

Nothing like a job well done.

Yes, ma'am.

Case is closed.

Yeah, but I don't mean to disrespect you, sir,

but where's the evidence?

That's all the evidence that we're gonna get.

There's no stranger's fingerprints on the telescope.

He wore gloves.

The CCTV camera was off.

Pearl did it.

Or it malfunctioned, or maybe it's just coincidence.

Then, where is the gun? We searched the woods twice.

He took it with him, okay?

Threw it down the drain or something.

No, but the maid said she heard the gunshot

from inside the house, while she was in her quarters.

Every time she opens her mouth, she lies.

It's because the boyfriend did it.

- Why are you so sure it's him? - Why are you so sure that it's not?

You said that you wouldn't let them pin this

on a convenient black man.

You need to choose your battles, son.

Yes, sir.

Hofmeyr McKenzie is going to demolish an entire city block

of the Bo-Kaap in order to put up a luxury gentrification development.

- Our readers are gonna like this. - Agreed.

So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna follow it

all the way up the ladder. Who gave planning permission?

The Bo-Kaap is protected by the Heritage Act.

I've already put Edgar on that.

He's on the murder case.

Yes, and he'll continue to monitor that for developments.

Mazneen, I don't understand. You told me to find another story

- and now you're pushing me out. - Yes.

Edgar has already spoken to one of the leaders

of that protest, at the same event that you were at.

- Did you speak to anyone? - I was busy.

Well, he's the lead on this, and I hope

you're prepared to work under him.

Under him?

If not, then we need to have a conversation

about what happens next, Edie. I'm sorry it's come to this

but he's aligned with our target market

and he's more comfortable with an internet-driven news service.

He's still a kid.

Haven't you noticed? Kids rule the world now.

You boys have been doing that since you were ten years old.

From now on, come to the front door like an adult.

Why don't you tell your son that?

I'm here for the money.

I gave you money.

Well, I need more.

I had a visit from your aunt.

She knows the whole story.

It looks like your cash cow is dried up.

I don't care what Edie knows. I need that money.

- Just give me a loan or something. - You little prick.

First you try blackmail me.

Now you try ask me for a loan.

- I should break you in half right now. - Do it.

Now your father wasn't much

but he was ten times the man you will ever be.

Go fuck yourself, Werner.

You do realise if I don't get that money back to them

- they're gonna come for me again. - There's dad's will, and

the insurance will eventually come through.

That's gonna take forever, Jaime.

And mom gets all that money. I need the money now.

We'll find the money. It's okay.

I still got the scholarship interview.

I told you already you don't have to do...

Yes, I do!

I have to do that interview. And I still have to write finals.

And whoever killed dad is still out there.

Daniel, it was Pearl and her boyfriend.

And what if it wasn't? What if it was someone else?

What if it was someone else and they're coming back?

We can't think like that, okay? We're safe here.

We are not safe, Jaime! We are not safe.

You should probably eat something.

Here.

I can't sleep. There's a fucking baboon outside. Don't you hear it?

Daniel, you have to keep going, okay?

I just want it all to stop.

Danny, don't talk like that.

You can't do that again. Do you hear me?

Okay, so...

We use Hofmeyr's connection to the murder case to make it sexy.

Tell me, Edgar, how long have you been waiting for this?

- It's not personal. - And yet, I am in fact a person.

Look, the future stands on the back of the past.

OK, you're allowed to enjoy it, you're not allowed to talk in cliches.

You know you were the best, right? "Miss English journalist."

I mean, you were a killer.

Always had your head in the game. Work, work, work, no distractions.

I thought I'd have to go somewhere else to get ahead.

And then the story.

As soon as this story happened, you made it easy.

There's a story like that for you, one day.

Maybe, yeah.

Maybe I'll get old and slow and distracted.

Maybe someone younger and hungrier

will come along and eat me for breakfast.

Maybe that day will come.

But not today, Edie.

All right, I have a contact

with the protesters this morning.

and Mazneen wants you to... come.

I'm gonna meet you there. There's something I've got to do.

Yeah, is it for the story?

Edgar, I may be on my way down, but I don't answer to you... yet.

Thanks, I wanted to meet in private.

Is Daniel okay?

- He owes another 150 grand. - What?!

And you went to Mr. Weber and closed that door.

Are you taking an attitude because I stopped him

blackmailing the neighbour for drug money?

Do you two have any grasp of decency whatsoever?

He'll come after him again if he doesn't pay.

And you said you would help.

We're going back to school.

We can't just sit at home.

Daniel needs to be busy, or else he'll get into his head.

What does that mean?

He doesn't handle stress well. He...

He either runs or he gets bad ideas.

What kind of bad ideas?

I just don't want him to do something stupid.

I just think...

it'll be good for him if he goes back to school.

Okay.

You're stronger than you look.

Well, we have to be.

Edie. Sorry, I missed your calls.

I need to borrow some money.

Avi?

You expect too much from me, Edie.

- It's just money. - That's what I'm saying.

You expect too much and you ask for too little.

It's 150,000.

- What's it for? - Yes or no.

Okay, you don't have to tell me what it's for.

Thank you.

You do have to tell me that it's not to pay off my client's drug debt.

You can't ask that of me, Edie.

You have to tell me it's for something else.

Never mind, I've got another idea.

Thanks, bye.

Edie-fucking-Hanson!

Don't come with stories. Call me if he says yes.

Okay. Bye.

Oh, Edie?

Sorry to interrupt.

No, it's a pleasure.

You know, I tried to lay charges against that scum yesterday,

but the cops... They don't want to know anything about it.

It's the Wild West, and we're on our own.

I need to borrow some money.

It's not for me, it's for the kids.

Of course. Anything for Andrew's children.

150,000... in... cash.

You'll need to come back for it.

Okay, wonderful.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Listen, won't you do me a favour?

You know that paper that I've been bugging you about?

It's the co-signed work order for the construction project.

It's in his papers at home.

Won't you bring it for me?

When you come for the cash.

See you.

Hey, Robert.

Jaime, how are you?

Are you ready for rehearsals?

- You sure you want to do that? - Well, I do, don't you?

Listen, Robert,

people say you're a weirdo and they think that I'm...

Daniel's loser sister.

So let's show them that we're good at something.

That we're good at this.

I need to get to class.

"All the bright, precious things fade so fast

and they never come back."

No one cared about us until this man dies.

Ten years ago there were seven newspapers in Cape Town.

Today there are two.

At the Mercury, we have maybe... three reporters available.

Unfortunately, things fall through the cracks.

Tell us about this development.

McKenzie and Hofmeyr, they bought the whole block.

Like, one house, one house, one house.

They were gonna put up a hotel, shops, the whole toot.

So we, uh, we all lodged objections with the zoning board.

Next thing we hear, permission is granted.

Construction can go ahead.

Our people arrived here 250 years ago as slaves.

Our mothers and fathers lived and died here.

And their mothers and fathers, and theirs, and theirs.

So, do you think the zoning board was bribed?

Mr. Ibrahim, I have to tell you

Andrew McKenzie was my brother.

We weren't close.

And the more and more I hear about him, the more...

ashamed I am.

We are not responsible for what our families do.

We are not responsible for what our families do.

It's okay.

Eat something.

Yo, Weber.

Bru, I saw you bunking on Tuesday.

Yeah? So?

If I see you bunking, I have to report you.

So are you gonna report me?

I'm just saying, if you're gonna do it, don't let anybody see you.

Tough guys, hey?

Prefect, you know.

- What's wrong with you, bro? - Really tough...

You think you can take me?

- Come on, bro. - Okay, I don't see.

- So do you think you can take me, hey? - Hey, take it easy!

Robert? Robert, what the hell are you doing!

It's very important that we set that in motion.

Yes, I agree. All right. Okay.

- Cheers. - Mr. Hofmeyr.

Oh, look, I only have five minutes,

but I'm always happy to talk to the press.

Mr. Hofmeyr, thank you so much for seeing us

and thank you again for arranging the funeral.

Well, Miss Hanson, of course. Anything I can do for the family.

We've just been talking to Mr. Ibrahim

of the Bo-Kaap Community Protection Forum.

He is a very, very angry man. His consortium lost out.

His consortium?

You see, this was your brother's vision

but there were many, many people that wanted it too.

We just beat them to it.

Why haven't you started construction yet?

We will, we're just waiting for some paperwork to be finished.

We don't expect any delays.

Mr. Ibrahim alleged irregularities with the zoning board.

I'm sure he did.

Ah, forgive me, gentlemen, I'm...

going to have to go. Thank you for your time.

- Mr. Hofmeyr, thank you. - Where are you going?

So is this the gun that killed Andrew McKenzie?

I... I don't know.

Come on.

Listen, I've never seen that before. Where would I even get a gun?

Okay, Robert... He's answered you now.

Mr. Weber, please.

Robert, where were you when Andrew McKenzie was killed?

I don't know. I was...

It's fine.

I was...

smoking.

Weed.

Who was with you?

Robert, we have hospital footage

showing you going into Olivia McKenzie's ward

on the day of the memorial service.

- What? - Don't answer that question.

Listen, I don't want to speak anymore.

Well, you're going to have to explain it.

Well, I won't say anything in front of him.

- I'm not going anywhere. - Well, then I won't speak.

I'm not going anywhere.

Don't you... Don't you touch me.

I don't... You can't do this to me!

- Sir. - No, that's fine.

- Please come with me. - Fagin, do something.

He does not know what he's doing. This is ridiculous.

My boy doesn't know what he's doing.

I am his father. Let me talk to him alone.

He doesn't want to talk if you're in the room, Mr. Weber.

He doesn't want to talk to you.

And he doesn't want to talk to Mr. Fagin over here.

So you tell me.

If he doesn't offer an explanation, does that look good for him?

That boy has to have an appropriate adult in the room.

I'll do it.

- You should mind your own business. - He's scared.

If you try and control him, he'll close up.

He'll make bad decisions and he'll hurt himself.

If you want him to talk, he needs...

a mum.

I think you could use a friend.

- Are you my friend now? - Looks like it.

You know, I prefer friends to family.

It's easier to forgive a friend.

It's always easier to forgive someone you don't have to love.

I don't know what you mean.

You must be so tired.

We all keep things inside us that we think are ours

but they have to come out at some point

just so we can finally get some rest.

You're not a bad boy.

You're not a loser.

You're not a weirdo.

You're just someone who needs to get away from this place, Robert.

Go out into the world and become who you really are.

You're going to be alright.

And one day, if you want, if you work at it,

you'll become you.

Not just your father's son.

Now, you don't have to answer

because we're not on the record

but I'm just going to ask, okay?

Did you kill Andrew?

- Well, I'm not sorry that he's dead. - Did you kill him?

What are you holding onto?

What are you holding onto? Give it to me. I'll put it down for you.

- They think that I tried to kill Olivia. - Didn't you?

No.

Well, I don't think so either, but you snuck into the hospital.

So what were you doing? Help me understand.

Why, why, why would I want to kill her?

I...

I love her.

Okay.

Darling, can I...

Do you, do you need any...

Alright, I'll get you a drink, okay?

Okay, go ahead, Robert.

We, we were in love.

You were in love with her.

And she was in love with me.

She was, um, she was gonna leave him.

I'm done! I'm over this!

They used to fight all the time.

He tried to tell her what to do, tell her what to say.

Fuck off, Andrew!

Spend my money! Open fucking bottles of wine.

Made her, made her feel like nothing.

But I, I would've looked after her.

You know what, I'm gonna book you in a fucking clinic,

because you're a drunk!

- I hate you! - Oh, you hate me?

Fucking open up!

Open the door!

You wrote that poem out for her. I'm impressed.

Not many Bishopscourt men can quote Yates.

Oh, we, um, we studied it in English.

And she loved me too.

She was, um, she was gonna go away with me.

And Andrew wanted to stop you.

Okay, that's enough.

- Don't say anything else, Robert. - Listen, I love her.

And I don't care. I, I love her so, so much.

So, Robert jumps over the wall. It's convenient.

Nobody sees him coming through the front gate.

They end up here.

And they're kissing.

Andrew comes home unexpectedly.

He's like, "What? My wife with the boy next door?"

He is pissed. He's livid.

Have you lost your fucking mind?

Robert wants to protect his woman, so...

he takes his gun.

Where does he get the gun?

Maybe he ran home to go and fetch it. He comes back

finds Andrew beating on Olivia.

Bang, bang!

- Okay. - He's expecting her to be grateful.

He's just saved her, now they can be together.

Robert, what have you done?

"I can't be with you. You're just a boy."

So now he feels rejected, humiliated, but he'll show her.

- So he takes the telescope. - Robert, what are you doing?

And he starts battering her with it.

"Am I still a boy now?

I love you, why can't you love me?"

Yeah, no, because what?

He... Robert shoots Andrew.

He shoots Andrew, then he puts the gun down

and he comes over here to find something to hit her with?

Shooting and battering, it's two different kind of emotions.

And what about the black man that the boy saw?

Maybe he's protecting Robert.

No, no, no, they hate each other. Daniel wouldn't protect him.

Then why would he say he saw a black man?

- He's lying. - Why?

I don't know. Because he's a rich white kid

with racist fears, and now he imagined a black man.

Don't get a fright, I'm here.

What are you doing here?

I came to tell you about Robert.

Yeah, we know.

Got arrested, found a gun in his locker.

He told the police he was in love with your mother.

They think maybe it was a jealous rage.

Robert and Mom?

This whole time you thought he was in love with me,

- but it was Mom. - I'm so sorry.

I haven't been as understanding as...

Your situation is hard.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing, I just, I understand a little bit better that

it hasn't been easy growing up in this house.

- There's nothing wrong with that. - Of course not.

I'm glad you two had each other. That's all.

I've arranged the money for you.

Thank you.

- I hope they lock Robert up forever. - You think it's him?

I thought that's what the police were saying.

Oh, that's their theory, but you didn't see him that night.

- You say you saw a black man. - I said, I thought I saw.

It was dark, maybe I was wrong.

- No, I'm not convinced it was Robert. - But he had the gun.

Yeah, but it could have been dumped somewhere and he found it.

There's a lot of questions that are still to be answered.

What? Why are you defending him? Whose side are you on?

- Daniel. - Yours.

Daniel.

I'm on yours, but don't you wanna know the truth?

Obviously, but that guy's got problems.

He's a fucking creep.

What, you think I'm lying?

No, I mean, you and he have got personal issues,

but that doesn't mean...

So what, you would rather believe him over me?

- Because you think I did it, right? - Daniel.

- Right? - Why are you saying this?

I've seen the way you look at me, Edie.

My drug dealer nephew. Could he have done this?

Tell me you haven't thought that.

Truthfully, I don't know.

That's a horrible thing to say.

Be fair, how would I know? I don't know either of you.

I mean, that's my fault, I get it, I get it, but...

This is like a foreign country to me.

You present yourself so politely,

yet you've also behaved quite appallingly,

and you aren't even embarrassed about it.

So who are you, really, underneath?

You know what my dad said to us?

Daniel.

He told us we aren't missing anything with our Aunt Edie.

See, this is the other side of you, the part that scares me.

He said that you were fucking crazy

and thank God you didn't have kids of your own.

Okay, you got me with that one.

You accused me of killing my own father!

- I didn't accuse... - You did!

I didn't accuse you of anything.

I'm trying to talk to you like a human being

but you don't seem to have a grain of compassion in you.

Not a grain of kindness.

What about you, Edie? Are you kind?

No, maybe not. Maybe it runs in the family

but I'm trying, God damn it, I'm trying.

And what's the worst thing, is that if you did kill him

I don't think that I would be surprised.

Edie, I think you should give us the key and remote back.

She knew the boy was arrested.

I was with her when she got the text and she didn't even say anything.

We get tips all the time, I was checking it out.

That's what I'm telling you, she's working for herself

not the paper.

Balls to the wall time now, hey, Edgar? Masks off.

Well, he's right,

you should have looped him in. He is the lead on the story.

And that's a mistake, I'm better than him on a bad day

with a paper bag over my head.

Hey, I take this seriously, and so should you.

Mazneen, I've been a journalist for 15 years.

I've worked my way up from nowhere and I'm good.

I've put up a wall in order to be good,

to find the story, to tell the truth.

I let that wall down this one time.

Please, I'm asking you, just...

I need to work.

Let me do the Macky Hofmeyr housing scheme story.

No, no, no, I'm already working on it.

I've also got the number of the detective investigating

city corruption on the development.

I am not gonna work with her.

- You little prick. - You heard that, right?

I would like to lay a complaint.

You're not laying a complaint. You are being a prick and you...

I'm putting you on compassionate leave.

You're grieving your brother, take a two week holiday.

Mazneen, I need this job.

Then be grateful that I haven't fired you. Go home.

- Sit. - Yes.

I know it's disappointing

but without Jaime, and without Robert as our Gatsby

- we have no choice but to cancel. - No!

Okay, well think of it as a learning opportunity.

No! No!

Robert has smashed up everything. He's broken everything.

We can't let him take this too.

Jaime, opening night's in a week

and we don't have a Gatsby.

There's no one who can learn the lines.

Daniel knows them.

Hi, I'm Edith. We spoke on the phone.

Can I get you another drink?

Two, please.

You were lead investigator on Hofmeyr and Mackenzie

corruption in the zoning committee, weren't you?

Maybe.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Detective, I'm Andrew McKenzie's sister.

I'm sorry.

I found your number in his personal papers.

He left my number lying around.

No wonder they got to him.

If you were investigating him why had he written down your number?

Listen, Miss McKenzie or Mrs...

Ms. I'm not asking you to tell me anything confidential

but the only reason that I can think of, for him to have your number

is he was calling you.

Are you really his sister?

- I can't say anything official. - I understand.

- I wouldn't tell the media this. - Of course.

Your brother approached me about becoming state witness

against his partner.

What did he... What was he offering?

Two days later, he was dead.

We were backed off the case, orders from above.

Give me a sec.

- Edie, hi. - Hi.

Detective De Kock, isn't it?

Avi Kapilevich, the Glendale deposition.

- Yeah, lawyer. - Lawyer.

So is this for the story?

What story?

Edie... I thought you were...

You're fucking Edie Hanson.

Detective, I'm Andrew McKenzie's sister.

Very good, very good. You caught me.

Thanks, Avi.

You have a culprit with a motive.

He has a murder weapon and no alibi.

- So ballistics are back. - It's a win.

When last did we have a win?

- It's what I told Zondo. - So?

Zondo is young. He still believes in justice and truth.

We all do. It goes without saying.

So, why are we rushing this? Let's take a closer look.

Forty, you can do whatever you want to do. It's your choice.

But the General and I are happy with this boy.

We were happy with the other ones too.

Forty, this case is your ladder, back up to the sunshine.

I don't want to see you sitting at the desk,

at the church office in Bella.

I'm saying this as a friend.

- But like I say, it's your choice. - Ma'am.

You've had your window period. I'm here to take Robert home.

Either you formally charge him,

or you let him leave with us right now.

Yeah, you shit or get off the pot.

- Go fetch the boy. - Yes.

You people should be out there, looking for the real killers.

That cushy job, sitting here on your, on your fat asses.

But here he is, the jail bird.

Come, I'm taking you home.

Robert Weber, you're under arrest for the murder of Andrew McKenzie

and the attempted murder of Olivia McKenzie.

You have the right to remain silent

and you have the right to a legal practitioner.

- Wait, what are you talking about? - I didn't do this.

I really didn't do this. I didn't do this!

Are you making a joke?

I'm going to sue you for everything you've got. You understand me?

Three times in one day. What a pleasure.

I have your money. Do you have the contract?

He hadn't signed it.

It needs both your signatures before work can start.

Well, he must have died before he could sign it.

Or...

- He wasn't going to sign it. - Of course he was.

I mean, this is his vision.

Look, I'll take it anyway.

Let me guess, the next time anyone sees this, he'll have signed it.

I only want to honour his wishes.

You came to me for help.

Yeah.

I've been making a lot of mistakes recently.

Forty, is that you?

And, now?

I thought I'd come home early.

Okay.

- To help with someone's homework. - Dad!

- So who's it gonna be? - Me.

- So go get your books. - I'm gonna get my book first.

I'm getting it first.

Please, Dan, if you don't play Gatsby, they'll cancel.

Jaime, how could I play Gatsby? I'm your brother.

Do you know what the play is about?

- Who cares? - People are gonna laugh at us.

We're us.

Please, Dan, I need this.

No one ever sees me, but...

But when I'm up there, it's...

Please, Dan, just do it for me.

- Fine. - Yes!

- I'll play Gatsby. - Thank you.

Let's tell dad about that time when our teacher slipped

on a piece of chalk.

Anyways, so there was like a small piece of chalk

like right on the floor.

And then basically, the whole class was like laughing and uh...

and she just did this to...

Anyways, but it was fun though.

Hello.

Bernice, hi, is Forty there?

He's just with the girls.

Yeah, can I speak to him?

I thought the case was over.

I just... I think he's charged the wrong guy, okay?

I think Macky Hofmeyr is behind this.

And I want to talk to him about the...

He hasn't been home this early in three months.

He's playing with the girls.

Maybe tonight he won't have nightmares.

I think he's arrested an innocent boy, Bernice.

Well, I hope not.

I know Forty, he'll feel it, okay?

He'll know what he's doing is wrong.

He's making three people who love him very happy, how's that wrong?

Puss, puss, puss.

Puss, puss.

I understand.

Please just leave my husband alone now.

Just give him a chance.

Puss, puss, puss.

Puss.

No. No, no, no.

Hi, you've reached Forty Bell.

Please leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.

- Hey. - Someone slit his throat.

What?

The cat... the cat's dead.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

Thank you.

I didn't even know you had a cat.

I don't. He doesn't have a home.

How was your date?

It wasn't a date. She's a colleague.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

You're entitled to your...

I'm sorry.

Don't think I've ever seen you cry,

and I know I've never heard you apologise.

Two firsts in one day.

Talk to me.

I'm bad, Avi.

Everything around me dies.

You're not bad.

I've got bad blood.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you're great.

But I've seen bad people, and you don't qualify.

- You don't understand. - Try me.

You're better off without me.

I'll be the judge of that.

I can't love. Okay? I can't love the way that other people can.

I think you can.

No, I'm not like you, okay? I'm not like you.

I don't know how to let you in. I don't know...

I'm tired. I'm so tired of being me.

Then be someone else.

- Oh, stop joking. - I'm not fucking joking!

Do you want to know who I am?

You want to know who I really am?

Yes.

I've done...

I'm...

What?!

Edie, what is it that you're trying to tell me?

I shouldn't have come.

I shouldn't have come. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come.

- Edie? - No.

Edie!

- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. - Edie?

Edie, wait. Will you please...?

Edie?

Edie!
