Thank you, Mr. Angus.
You have no signal.
Here.
Look. You need a signal.
Otherwise you walk a few steps or you climb.
And there's a problem or you think there's a problem
- you call me, understand? - Alright, boss.
- Day or night. - Okay, boss.
Samuel...
Haven't you ever got the feeling
that what's happening isn't really happening?
My husband...
Angus thinks I have got a lot of rubbish in my head.
That was just beautiful, Mattis.
That was just beautiful!
I forgot my purse in my room.
Next time...
It's all the same for him!
What'd he do with money, anyway?
I don't understand French!
That's it, dad. I've brought them all in.
A gift.
From Angus's wife.
For us?
- Dad? - What?
Do you like dogs?
Everybody likes dogs.
Even stray dogs?
I threw a rock at a dog today.
Samuel?
I just heated some coffee.
No, thank you, I'm in a hurry.
I need extra men to reinforce the fencing tomorrow morning.
I'll come by and get you at six.
Almighty God, our Father in heaven, watch over us.
Guide me towards a good job
where I may fulfill our needs.
Almighty Benefactor,
in your mercy
protect our rosebushes and make them grow.
Waldo...
You have to pray with your eyes closed.
- Amen. - Amen.
I'm offering 40 rands a day.
This...
Five...
You have 30 rands, 40 cents and you need 300!
Okay, okay, look. 300, alright?
300 and you come back.
Your brother doesn't have to be informed about the custody.
But your father must come here and sign it!
Next person!
There is two in this one.
A big one and a little one!
The big one is a weed.
It's hard to tell the difference.
I'll teach you.
Should I pull it out?
Let's wait a bit longer to be on the safe side.
Even just a little bit will be enough for the tests.
I've been holding it in since yesterday.
You should have asked Estelle.
It's hard
to ask your daughter to do something
like that.
Angus is a lucky man!
A pretty bride from the city!
God does not exist...
I've made a new friend.
He's going to help me with Mattis' custody.
Are you jealous?
Men are so predictable.
What's a poor girl supposed to do?
Change your clothes. Dinner will be ready in five minutes.
Tonight is an extra special night.
What are we celebrating?
Good money
and even more pay.
Go on, you're wet!
Dinner will be ready in five minutes!
Wait until you see the roses.
I'm starving!
Let's taste all three.
We'll plant some ivy
in the empty grass jars.
And give it away for free with the purchase of two rosebushes.
Pure figue.
Maybe we could sell the ivy too?
But if we give away a free ivy, with two rosebushes,
they'll be tempted to buy two instead of one.
Dad?
My secret tunnel is going to be one kilometer long.
Your secret tunnel, hey!?
- You don't believe me, do you? - Of course I believe you.
It's for real.
I've beaten down the sugar canes
this wide across.
It's going to go all the way to the river.
Fuck!
Keep the meat.
I bought a bicycle today.
With my own money.
The jackals attacked the herd tonight.
They ripped a pregnant ewe to shreds.
It was still alive when I got there.
They'd eaten its fetus.
They'd rip a man to shreds if they get the chance.
Get someone to drive you if you need to wander around.
Bicycles aren't an option.
The cat had her kittens last night.
You'll have to put them down.
I'll ask Samuel.
No. Samuel is coming with me today.
You'll have to manage on your own.
What happened to Samuel's wife?
Long story...
A gang from the township
drowned two white women from the Catholic Mission
for revenge...
She was a French nurse...
I need more men.
Keep as much meat as you like and burn the rest.
Samuel, come with me, we're going to take a look around.
What an idea asking me that
I can give you 50 rands?
You can treat yourself... Buy yourself a new dress.
What do I need a new dress for?!
All right.
I'll make a plan, I'll find somebody.
- Just leave the box on the table. - Thank you.
I do it for you.
You're good with people.
We'll track them down.
I'll trap one
that will lead us to the others...
I'll kill them one by one!
Tell me if it hurts.
Okay?
Nobody seems to care about anything here.
I had to get rid of a litter of kittens this morning.
I asked Mrs. Borgman...
There is this painting on her outside wall:
The eleven of...
Lady Grey.
How is that?
You'll feel quite well in our place.
I grew up here.
My son was born here...
Your wife?
She was one of the two French nurses, right?
They never found her body in the river...
She doesn't have no grave.
Same as the eleven of Lady Grey.
Never found their bodies.
But someone must know,
don't you think?
Kids like meat!
Is it better?
Much better. Thank you...
For working?
Tomorrow'll be alright.
Should I still cook the beans?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, everybody.
We have to disconnect your electricity.
You haven't paid for the last four months.
I need a signature.
You really don't like me, do you?
I've just brewed some coffee.
Why don't you come in?
No thanks, we've got work to do.
Get out of here!
Get the fuck out of here!
Fuck off! Fuck off!
Get out of here!
Fuck off!
It's okay.
Don't worry, Waldo. Everything's okay.
I'm not worried.
Are you okay?
How's your hand?
It's okay.
We burn all around in the spring.
It's all green again...
Your coin isn't worth anything.
Not worth anything.
Okay, okay, okay. Look, look.
I give you 50 cents for your coin, okay?
50 cents, okay?
I'm trying to catch some flies for fishing.
I forgot they cut off the electricity.
Listen.
When we don't hear any more coins clink in the box,
that'll mean there are enough bills in here
to pay for the electricity.
Okay?
Waldo?
Where are you going?
Waldo!
You don't think I do this for the fun of it, do you?
Maybe I do...
Sometimes...
You know what it means to be different?
One day they tell you:
"Now your father is white."
It makes you different, no?
Not all black.
People are so anxious for things to be black or white.
Let me stay.
Are you sure you've never had a child with a black woman?
You have to go now.
Go on.
What you asked me about...
I don't know... sometimes...
I've been...
wild...
like an animal.
Take care of the rosebushes. Amen.
Amen.
I remember when mummy and I watched you fishing.
I remember you caught a blue trout with your hands.
A blue trout, that's right.
A big blue trout. Just with your bare hands.
I remember the river was green.
What a memory you have.
Green and silent.
And me and mummy watched you fishing in the green river.
You don't need a nursing degree to give him a wash.
That's what I pay you for, isn't it?
Here.
A week in advance.
I was thinking of the river today.
I was trying to remember how many blue trout
I'd caught by hand that day.
Do you remember?
Don't leave me alone.
The silence is toxic.
In this country...
- Bring them inside. - Nobody's there, sir.
Store room.
Thank you.
People were talking at the vigil.
They said things about Angus.
I don't know.
I wish my mother were among the three coffins...
Is your father here?
No. He's got some work at the mission.
What are you doing?
I'm putting the rosebushes outside.
Rosebushes?
They look like weeds.
Well, we all learn by our mistakes, don't we?
The boy's father said you can have it back now...
Who is he?
I don’t know... I only saw the boy.
Where does this boy live?
I don't know... He ran away...
You should have stopped him!
He said...
his brothers have a grave, you can have the ring back...
Why didn't you stop him?
- I couldn't! - Why? Why? Why?
What's your problem with me?
- Please... - Go away!
Go away!
We're going out to a restaurant tonight.
I told you, didn't I?
I told you we'd get rich fast.
Tonight we celebrate and treat ourselves.
We're going out to a restaurant. We'll pay for the electricity
with the money from the rosebushes.
Pick out something from the dessert menu.
I'm fine. I've had enough.
Boss!
Biscuit and chocolate pudding for the young man.
My round!
Beers for everyone!
And wine for the young lady.
Look at this!
Lord, bless our souls. We thank You for the bread and wine
we share in the memory of Your body. Amen!
Amen!
- Thank you, Olive. - Pleasure.
More beers, guys?
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine. Good.
A toast, guys?
- To Olive! - To Olive.
Cheers!
From your father.
A round smooth rock...
in the river...
up to my waist...
I take off my shirt...
A trout swims between my legs...
A blue trout...
In the green river.
Mrs. Borgman!
Another one for the road!
I want to go home now.
Boss!
More pudding for the young man.
Dad!
More wine!
Angus says the rosebushes aren't rosebushes.
They're weeds.
You made me eat two desserts.
We spent all the money! I hate you!
I don't...
want you to worry about money.
I'm so proud of you.
Everyone in town congratulates me whenever I talk about you.
You'll never lack of anything.
I'll make sure you never lack of anything.
I promise.
Waldo...
Hop in.
Come on. It's much too cold to be out walking.
You know me. I'm Olive's husband.
Olive who looks after your dad.
Your sister Estelle called me.
She asked me to bring you home.
What were you telling the men at the bar?
I could read your lips.
You were telling about the trout, weren't you?
Yes.
No, no.
To tell you the truth,
I don't remember the trout very well.
You were quick.
Did you know where the eleven burned bodies were hidden?
You must have lost it.
Can you explain?
Do you love him?
Do you love me?
