Chantel Monologue

- Chantel's is off too.
- Where's her dad?

I can't get hold of him.

There's something in the water, and it's not chlorine.

Zimmerman says you and Addie ganged up on him.
What the hell are you doing?

- Making sure I'm loaded and ready.
- Just till tomorrow. 24 hours is all I ask.

- And you run off to Zimmerman.
- He knows she has drama school.

- Her teacher's nosy and loves cops.
- Could've waited till tomorrow. We're meant to be partners, dammit!

What's happening tomorrow?

I don't think you've told your partner.

I can't. He'll tell Addie, she'll tell Chantel, and then Baby Tjoklits knows.

You don't trust anyone, but we must trust you? Nice.

Thanks.

- This mission's too long. It's coming apart.
- Give me a plan of action!

- Come
on. Strategise with your partner, Mynhard.
- It's on a need-to-know basis, Skalkie. Okay? Relax.

- Don't talk down to me. Who the hell do you think you are?
- The guy who's going to save Addie's life!

- Mynhard Bekker. Feels nothing for girls. Just here for the cash...
- I know my job.

- Mynhard Bekker knows his job. I'm having doubts, if that's okay.
- Skalkie has doubts. That's why I can't tell you things.

- Why? I won't fall apart.
- But you'll take Addie to drama in the middle of a war!

- A ceasefire. We'll be back before you have a fit.
- If you're not killed, dammit.

I'm also doing what I have to.

Maybe I'll surprise you.

Okay, I'm decent.

- I thought you'd shower.
- Don't have the energy.

Haven't eaten either.

- Dad, we can't give up. I think Mom clicked.
- And what'll she do?

- She can get help.
- Yes, call the cops.

It'll teach Baby a lesson, get Zimmerman off my back and the whole world will know Adam Davids takes bribes and lies.

- He can't be trusted.
- What part isn't true?

There it is.

I wondered when that resentment would rear its head.
But you're in the cool-chick clothes my cash bought.

- I didn't know it was dirty!
- I didn't know I'd break a deal. I've never.

As long as they pay!

You don't have a clue.

You and your friends just play around.

Life's one big merry-go-round.

But someone has to pay for the rides, Chantellie.

The rides cost more and more.

And Daddy's pay's shrunk since his Ambassador days and Mommy wants her freedom...

You know nothing.

I'm trying to understand, Dad.

- At least I'm freakin' doing something instead of just waiting.
- I know.

I know what you're saying,
I just don't know...

Dammit! Is there really nothing in this house I can smoke?

Skalkie's checked three times.
No one's watching us.

- You don't always know they're watching.
- I'll watch where I go, and Skalkie will look after me.

- Too quiet. Baby Tjoklits is up to something.
- He'll have to move to catch my car.

- You can't outdrive a bullet.
- Stop it.

I know we must be careful, but I just want to do some drama.

- There's not enough around here.
- I can't take you.

You're running the show here, I know.
Why not Skalkie? He won't even let me pee alone.

Don't go.

Please.

Is that an order?
I can scale these walls, you know.

- Your dad doesn't want you to go.
- He knows I have to. The drama school will look for me.

Do you want the cops here?

I can't look after you if you're not here.

I'll pull the car out.
Tell Skalkie I'll be here now.

- Won't you eat first?
- No, thanks.

- We'll get takeaways.
- Aren't you sick of takeaways?

- I didn't tell you to cook, Karlien.
- You and Addie. Wonderful. I'm making so many friends.

You're here to take care of Chilly.
Let's all just do our jobs.

- Chilly says his gun's missing.
- He's on pills. His brain's missing.

Sharp. You look like a useless businessman.
Where's your weapon?

Backup?

Bet you he's got his in the same place.

- Where's the baby I'm babysitting?
- Fetching her car. Dammit, watch her like a hawk.

- Don't let her pee alone.
- I wish you'd calm down. We'll be back before dark.

What don't I know?

Something you want to tell me?

Nothing. Try trusting me.
I'm not a rookie anymore.

Take her to drama and bring her straight back - or I'll give you drama out your arse. Are we clear?

Yes, Captain. Loud and clear.

Should I have set the table?

I think I've made a mistake.

There's no apple jelly. Just mustard.

It looks delicious, thanks.

- You're not hungry anymore?
- Forgive me.

Don't know how anyone in this house can eat.

I appreciate your efforts.
You're very brave.

I just wish my daughter didn't have to drive with an armed guard.

This isn't how I really live.

Chilly's struggling to sleep.
I'd better check.

200 bucks. That should do it.

- Get me three packs of 20 and a lighter, please.
- Ready for action? Let's go.

- I don't want action, Baby. Get the money and let's finish this.
- If she brings the money.

- It's always about the money with you, isn't it?
- Is there something you want to say to me?

Just look after my girl.

Nothing will happen, okay?

- Addie wouldn't lie. She wants all this to stop.
- It will stop.

I'm a man of my word.

[Classical music]

- I don't believe it. Aren't you worried?
- You have your way. Music does it for me.

The office says it's weird. Chantel and Addie's periods don't usually sync up.

Old excuse for bunking.
I know a male actor who gets 'sympathy pains'.

- Didn't know universities kept records.
- You'd be surprised. They test everyone's pee.

- Do you have the address?
- It was hard. But I don't blame them.

I could've been a stalker.
Hans Zimmerman's rich and single.

- I almost visited once, but Adam and I were divorcing...
- Doctor, the address. My GPS is waiting.

- You have a GPS?
- Mm.

We're gonna get lost.

Good, you two. Very good.

Rachel, how are you two?

- We're busy.
- Your boss says you're not busy tonight.

I'm having my tires checked across the road, so I thought I'd book ballroom and tango lessons.

For four. Me, my husband and his...

We know how many you are.

Of course you do.

Shall we say 7pm?

7pm tonight. I'll tell Cassandra.

- I'm a bit busy.
- Perhaps you'll change your mind.

The men in my life can't wait to see you again.

7pm. Wear something sexy.

7pm. Anything else?

I must tell your boss just how kind you are.

7pm.

Shh...

She wants you to buckle.
Relax, girl.

I'm gonna kill Skalkie and Mynie!

- They promised!
- No, you can't.

Don't stress like this.
You're not well.

And whose fault is that?

This is what they call butterfly. Watch.
I was a fourth-team swimmer.

- Does the fourth team get a pool?
- Of course there was a pool. Don't be stupid.

Okay, come on. Show me.

Hi.
You're early.

- Get this thing out before it drowns.
- Don't be mean.

- I assume she has other talents?
- Many.

There's a letter on your bed from my lawyer.

Will you really go through with this?
Dammit, Brenda, I've done so much for you.

- Like what?
- Like... Who feeds Fat-cat?

Or who got Naomi out of here?
It wasn't an accident, you know.

You filthy pig!

I feel too... exposed.

It's better.
He mustn't think we're hiding something.

- He can shoot us like he shot my dad.
- He doesn't want you dead.

He wants you alive. Chantel too.
Then you're worth something.

What if he really just wants the money?

'I will hunt you down.'
Maybe he thinks he'll get the money as an extra.

He wants you.
Then he can get to your dad and Mynie.

I...

- We're messing up. It won't work.
- Shh, breathe.

- Nice rugby field. I played centre.
- He's gonna shoot you to take me.

Wow. He wants to shoot me.
I'm so surprised.

Thanks, bru.

Have a seat, relax and watch a bit.

- 24 hours?
- I'm telling you.

- Hasie will be here soon, then we'll talk things through.
- Hasie's a bad guy.

- We're all bad guys, Chilly.
- Are you insane?

- He's watching.
- It's okay.

It's not okay! You'll start bleeding and your tummy will get worse.

- His
tummy?
- He can't go.
- I thought you sewed up his arm?
- Big mistake.

- It's the pills. He should be in bed.
- Someone must monitor. I'm expecting guests.

- Who?
- Bad guy.

Hasie's just surviving. Don't judge.

Here he is. See?

Hasie Haasbroek, you're a sight for sore eyes.

So, how many bucks for this gig, hey?

- R10,000?
- 5, you bloody crook.

Life's tough.
I'm down on my luck.

- Shame. What is it this time?
- I want a Golden Retriever. They don't come cheap.

- You mean a dog?
- My chick's Rottweiler ate her cats.

Two cats for starters, then her fat poodle for the main course.
Have you seen a full Rottweiler, dude?

- Where is he now?
- Full Rottweiler can't beat a full truck. Shame.

Doggies flat on the ground.
Anyway, she wants a Golden Retriever now.

6,000 bucks, dude. For a purebred.

- Without a kennel!
- Drop the chick, dude.

- Have you seen her spin a towaway? She's magic, dude.
- My heart bleeds for you.

I don't have R6,000.

What are you pulling here? Hans Zimmerman?
It's not a cash-and-carry for the banks.

Okay.

Okay, R5,500, then add R500 and say you've paid for the whole dog.
Yo
