I'll send you a guy

for the sanding.

Thank you Francois.

-My pleasure...nothing else?

Not right now,

but later probably.

That'll be ready for tomorrow.

You want it delivered?

Yes please.

- No problem.

You look well, Cliff.

Thanks.

I've never felt so good.

I don't give a damn

what they say.

They can say anything.

I can't be happier.

I must be off.

-Me too.

Thanks old chap.

-It was nothing.

Why didn't you invite Cliff Engel?

I couldn't invite him

because of Heidi.

I saw him today.

He's building a new house.

With his wife?

I guess so.

I heard she was young.

Was Heidi at the wedding?

I didn't see her.

Yes.

Don't tell her you're selling

timber to Cliff.

Why not?

What do mean "why not"?

You should have refused.

She's our friend

and he left her with nothing.

I can't refuse an order.

My God, Francois, you carry on like

we were on the verge of bankruptcy.

I've got to go to Capetown

on business.

Tomorrow maybe.

When you back?

End of the week.

Hennie can't go?

No, he's too busy.

Anyway, they're my clients.

And I have to tidy up everything

after the wedding.

And guess who has to pay!

Of course...sorry.

I know you have

a lot of work.

I'll pack your bag later.

Leave it, I'll do it.

Elena...good evening.

Yes...hullo!

Yes, that was great, thank you.

Willem, it's Francois.

Yes thanks.

Did you get home alright?

You won't believe me.

But I'm in Capetown.

For some meetings.

No, since yesterday.

Seven years and now twice

in one week.

I'm at the Garden Court.

That'd be nice.

Wait a bit.

Friesland 14.

Newlands.

The very next.

Perfect.

I'll find it...I'm just a farmer's son,

but I'll make it!

See you later.

At the time it wasn't easy,

but we felt safe.

They're turning us into racists.

Where's Christian?

I don't know.

I tried to call him...

Doing revision probably.

Speak of the devil.

I wondered who's car that was

in the driveway.

Hullo, Uncle Francois. We meet again!

Chris, your plate's

in the kitchen.

Working hard eh?

-Not so sure.

I'll believe it when

I see his notes.

Same with Anika.

You have to check the notes.

May I smoke?

-On the terrace.

Theres an ashtray

in the cupboard.

Will you be here Saturday, Francois?

-Why?

We're having a barbecue.

There's rugby. WP and the Bulls.

You're welcome.

OK I'll be out again.

3 probably, it's here

at Newlands.

So you'll wanna leave

a little earlier to get here.

When there's a match on

there are traffic jams.

OK, I'll come.

Did you buy the drinks?

No.

How many times must I ask?

I'll go...he's busy.

He's always busy!

I'll go, there's enough time,

it's only Thursday!

Don't raise your voice at me.

Do women squabble

like this, Francois?

They're worse...believe me!

Francois, come see

a flat screen TV

Unbelievable!

-It's an LCD TV screen.

The picture quality's

unbelievable.

How much for

something like that?

How much was it, Christian?

-11 999.

It's beautiful.

They're all the same to me.

'Cause you just watch your soapies.

-I love my soapies!

Francois...

-''Uncle'' Francois.

Don't be silly, call me Francois.

You're a grown man.

I was gonna say that if I had an iPod,

we could play audio through it too.

Buy yourself an iPod,

no one's stopping you.

He had one and lost it

and now he wants another.

You think money grows on trees?

Francois, a coffee?

-Yes, thanks.

How're things?

Grahamstown? But I said no.

And she even took the car?

She never listens.

I'm tired.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Sleep well.

I love you too...

'bye.

He missed it?

-Yes...unbelievable.

When he should get it, he doesn't.

When he does, he loses it!

They fumble too much.

Don't know what their tactics are.

Go WP!

Christian...your father's going

to throw a fit!

He hasn't called.

I'm so irritated!

Is there a problem?

Christian's gone to the beach.

The beach?

-Clifton.

It's where all the young people go

to be seen.

Marika, sorry,

I have to go.

But we haven't eaten!

-I'm sorry.

Take something with you.

-It's OK.

'Bye...nice meeting you.

-And you.

Say 'bye to the guys for me.

Good match.

Come and see us before you go home.

-Okay.

I'm sorry.

-Doesn't matter.

Christian's going to help me

with some papers...

...give me some advice.

Advice you don't need

to follow.

Anyway, I told him yes.

Can you give me his number?

Christian...there it is.

I hope The Bulls get up!

-Doubt it!

Yes I'd like to report

my car stolen.

A blue BMW... 3 Series.

Registration:

FL3313FS

It's my car. Find it!

Sh*t! Elena, shut up and listen!

I called the police and I don't care!

I hope they arrest her.

Double scotch and cola.

Buzz off!

So where do you go out

in Capetown?

Around the town.

You mean like bars?

Bars...boes.

Usually close to home.

So you never go out

in Greenpoint?

Sometimes.

When I was younger, about your age,

I was a big party animal.

You couldn't stop me.

I'm sure.

I wanted to be

in the airforce.

I was crazy about planes.

Everything about how they worked...

When I was in the army I wanted to fly,

but we just patrolled.

I'm sure your father told you.

Anyway...

In those days...

we had duties to the family.

Sometimes I still feel like

becoming a pilot...

flying away

and leaving everything.

Everyone.

Everywhere...

I'll take you home, eh?

Thank you for helping me, Christian.

Not a problem, Francois.

I may stay a few more days...

if you want.

Yes, that'd be nice.

Good.

You know, these corrupt policemen

are typical of this government.

All they want is money.

all of them in this government...

those greedy bastards.

I don't fart-arse around.

I get the job done.

Don't rob anybody.

I can help someone...

and keep it to myself.

None of this drama

that always goes with all the stuff.

Some people don't know how

to keep it together.

But I do.

You know what I mean?

I don't need these things

to get the best of me.

My beliefs,

my way of doing things,

that's just fine.

You'll see...

it's important

to know yourself...

and not become

like that scum.

You'll see.

I could show you

how to keep it all together

and make it work.

You want anything else?

Look...Francois...

I need to ask you something.

It's there.

-Thanks.

Would you like a drink?

-Yeah...OK.

There...put hairs

on your chest.

Cheers!

Can you smoke in here?

There's no detector.

So as I said,

the money will allow me

to start up the investment...

and you'll get everything back.

I'm 100% sure.

Gimme a kiss!

Stop, Francois!

Sorry.

Why me?

Isn't that the reason

you wanted me to help you?

It's because I don't...

I don't have anyone else

with that kind of money.

Get off me!

Come on!

-Stop!

Take off your pants.

Take them off.

Get off me!

Don't you want

to see the doctor?

I went to one in Cape Town.

It's just a scratch.

If I'd been inside

he would have kidnapped me.

The police'll do nothing. As usual.

The country's going to hell.

It's OK. I'm alright.

Linda called.

The honeymoon is going well,
