Original subtitles

Well, what's up then? Why are you pressed?

ELSIE: Robert, man, he's got this massive fucking debt

and nine days left to pay it.

I haven't seen you around here before.

I just got out of jail.

Say goodnight to your brother, Rudy. Goodnight.

Think we're swimming in cash? We're the ones looking after him.

Elsie's not a child anymore. Show up as a father.

Show up.

(OVER PHONE) We've got an ATM. The whole thing!

Pick it up and sink it in the pit.

I said I'd help you,

but I'm not up for any more dumb shit.

Hey, You OK?

No, not really.

Why? What's wrong?

It's just you've been pretty busy lately.

Yeah, I have.

Doing what?

Ugh! Hey, Detective, can you just kiss me?

Are we OK?

No.

What are you doing tonight?

Nothing, it's Dad's birthday. You going out?

Having a barbecue.

I'll come.

For real?

Yeah.

6.30 then, yeah? Mm-hm.

You know, it's getting hard to tell the difference

between you and the couch.

There's a word for what I'm feeling.

Is it fucked?

It's more like malaise.

Malaise this.

The ATM could have worked, you know.

We need to be smarter.

OK? You have to listen to me. Smarter.

OK.

I might need your help later today.

Uh, I can't, I've got a double shift.

I'm going to be late for work. Um...

I need you to drop these to Aisha at the flower shop, OK?

Are you OK? Are we cool?

No.

You shouldn't trust him.

He hasn't earned it. Yet.

Let me just see if he's got it in him.

I can give you the answer to that.

Don't panic, Johnny. Still my main man.

Then give me Masalla.

I will get him to pay.

Don't tell me how to run my business.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Hey, Auntie. Everything OK?

Rudy was picked up by the cops at the markets.

Turns out he hasn't been at school for a week.

He shows his face at rollcall and then leaves.

OK, I'll talk to him.

The church is running a foster care agency.

I'm going to call them.

Auntie. Auntie, please. Please.

I just need a bit more time. Everything is getting better.

I hope so.

(RINGING TONE)

Housing department. How can I help you?

Hi. Um, this is Tom Mabee just checking in

to see if you have any houses available.

Oh. Nice work.

Need more green? That's perfect just the way it is.

Oh, coming from you.

Props from Boss Lady.

Get a job. You get a job, Boomer!

Oh, there you go, pretty good. Back in front.

Alright. Cool. I'll transfer now.

Elsie's got Dad doing her errands for her.

Yeah, she's not too happy with me right now.

She says I'm turning into the couch.

Yeah, I can see that.

Hey.

Give this to her.

Um, from me or you?

You choose.

Oh, later.

You're late. I had to cover for you.

Sorry. I had to check out an apartment.

Two bedrooms, one bath.

Pretty sweet as.

I'm in with a chance, I reckon.

Are you really, though? Oh, fuck ya.

Everything alright?

Stuff on my mind.

Money stuff or other stuff?

All this stuff.

I feel that. Cannot wait for payday.

Yeah, the problem is, it's never enough.

You live with your dad, right?

He doesn't help you?

He's a fucking disaster.

What about your mum?

Bigger disaster.

Still around, but?

(RINGING TONE)

ANSWER MACHINE: You've called Moreblessing. Leave a message.

Show up.

(METRO ANNOUNCEMENT)

So, Dad, can she come?

You know how I feel about her.

I can't stop you dating her.

She's not welcome in my home.

So you're actually saying no.

If it means that much to you, of course she can join.

I want to hear it from him.

Yeah.

Fine. Bring her.

Smashed you again.

Ah! Fuck this.

Sore loser.

OK.

When I went here, you should have gone here.

Oh. It's not all about the race, Tyson.

You've got to make each moment count.

Yeah. Yeah?

Oi!

Come here.

Open your jacket.

I got nothing.

Give it. Now!

What are you doing, man?

Why are you not in school?

Look. You ever played backgammon before?

Oi! Come back.

Come back here, you little shit! Oi! Come here!

Speedy little fucker.

What's funny?

Oh, you did that to me too, once.

It's cuter when I did it.

Elsie.

Hey.

Nice place.

This is such a surprise.

In a good way.

I tried to call you.

I know.

Um, we're doing a clean out at home,

and I remembered how much you love these curtains,

so...

..I thought I'd drop them off.

It's good to see you, Elsie.

Can I get you a drink?

OK.

Samson.

Is that you? Is that you?

Hello.

My God, that is you, isn't it, buddy?

Is this where you've been?

Does she live around here? Does she?

Show me where you live.

Hey? Show me where you live.

Are you working?

Um, I work at Loscoe's.

The toaster place?

Yeah, the toaster place.

Hopefully, a new job's not too far off.

Uh, I have to go to the bathroom.

Just down the hall.

I'm not here because I want to see you.

I'm here because I need money.

I see. How much?

3K would be helpful.

More if you can afford it.

What the hell do you need $3,000 for?

I've tried my best, OK,

but I've fallen behind with stuff, and I...

I thought you could help.

(SAMSON BARKS)

I live week to week,

Elsie, I don't have a cash-stuffed mattress.

You took money out of my account.

Can you at least pay it back?

That was to give you an opportunity.

What? By enrolling me in a shitty business course?

You were just using me to make yourself look good.

(SAMSON WHINES)

That is not true. Yes, it is.

You can't stand having a daughter that works at a toaster place.

Sit.

Education is a good thing, Elsie.

Yeah, you would know.

You left your family so you could spend all the time

getting those certificates on your wall.

Who the hell do you think you are talking to?

I'm your mother!

You walked out on me.

I walked out on your father, not you.

We were a family, OK?

I guess that means nothing to you.

You meant everything to me.

Oh, bullshit! Everything!

That is such bullshit!

It is true.

OK, so, then, why did you leave?

I tried to stay as long as I could.

No... 16 years, I stayed.

No, you don't just get to leave when there's kids involved.

I tried to take you with me.

You weren't a kid.

I WAS a kid.

I was 16!

You chose to stay with Robert. Chose?!

I didn't choose anything!

I needed a life. You got one, didn't you?

Five years and counting.

Oh, my God. Is that...?

It's Samson.

Robert said that he ran away.

I took him with me when I left.

I was lonely.

(SAMSON WHINES)

Hey, Sammy. Hey.

What the fuck?

What the hell are you doing in my house?

Where are you? I need you to run security at Bar 107.

Checking up on that Masalla fuckwit.

I told you to leave that to Tom.

Yeah, but...

Get back here now!

Anyway, I was in the neighbourhood.

I saw the dog and I followed him.

You followed me, more like it.

I was worried about Samson.

For months we didn't know where he was.

And then it turns out I was right.

Because he was stolen.

You cannot steal your own dog. Yeah, well, he wasn't your dog.

Yes, he was. He was never your dog.

He was Sisi's dog.

The dog belonged... (THUD)

He was my dog.

Hello?

Fuck, sorry, mate.

I thought you were leaving me.

What on earth...?

That's a knife.

I don't know, it's probably just some kids

doing a stupid prank or something.

Get out of my house now!

Everywhere you go, trouble follows you.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure it seems that way.

Just take the knife.

So the real reason you need money is

because your dad has dug himself into another hole.

If I had the money, I would give you, you, not him.

He can sort out his own troubles.

I'm going to go now.

Elsie...

..you do not have to save him.

(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

OK?

It is not your job.

Stay with me.

I can help you get your life on track.

It's up to you.

He's not under pressure.

He spent the morning in a flower shop

chatting up some young girl.

Then he took a train to Williamstown.

Williamstown?

Where he played with a dog while he visited his girlfriend.

He doesn't give a fuck about your money.

Tom can't do it.

Maybe he just needs to be shown how.

Why haven't you been going to school?

I have.

Don't lie to me, little man.

I just hate it.

Why?

Because everyone makes fun of me.

Why?

Because everyone's got a fucking iPad.

Hey. Don't swear.

George calls me Povo Rudy.

You make me a promise. OK.

You don't let anybody call you Povo Rudy.

But it's true, isn't it?

No, no, no, you listen to this

because I mean every word.

You are...

..we are descendants of kings.

Kings.

Kings.

I love you.

(MOBILE RINGS)

Yo.

Uh. yeah, I'll be there.

(PUNCHING)

(WHIMPERING)

Give me...

..the fucking money.

COUGHING)

Watch and learn.

Good boy.

Now go to Swift Street.

And make him pay.

(RINGING TONE)

(MOBILE VIBRATING)

(RINGING TONE)

Tatenda.

She's not coming.

I really thought you were going to leave me, Sisi.
