She didn�t deserve that. She�s only trying to get your attention. LUKAS I know, I know. I just� I�ll go talk to her. RUBY Wait. Are you aware of what her uncle did to her? LUKAS Yes. I know he hit her, kept her locked up. RUBY No, LUKAS. He did a lot worse than that. Things that would shame the devil. And he wants to keep doing them. That�s why he is fighting to get her back.

LUKAS RUBY, I�ll make it up to her, okay? RUBY So what happened today? LUKAS Nothing. RUBY Do I look stupid to you? People aren�t blind, Lukas. What�s going on? PHUMZA Who is he?

JACKSON We didn�t know he was there. Phumza look, we�ll get him, okay? We�ll get both of them. RUBY Just tell me, LUKAS. I can tell something�s bothering you. What happened? LUKAS I don�t know, RUBY. It�s just the same old story with me. Doesn�t matter how hard I try, I always just end up in the same place. This morning, some guys went after this woman. I had no choice, I had to get involved. RUBY So, did you help her? Is she all right? And the men? I, I don�t see what the problem is. It sounds like you did the right thing. Look, LUKAS, after everything you�ve been through, I know you want to live a quiet life, but sadly, we just don�t live in a quiet world. Everyone here can tell you that. People like you and me? We don�t get a choice. We have to face the noise, it�s just how it is. You just need to accept who you are Lukas, and just stop running from it. You know, all these creations of yours are a blessing to us. You have a real gift, you do. But, don�t you ever wonder where it comes from? Hmm? Art is from the soul. It�s a reflection of who we are. Look. Look around. All of these animals are predators. We are who we are. We just. We just have to try be the best version of ourselves. You understand? GATSHA You think you can hide from me? You stupid girl! GATSHA Hey, hey, hey, hey. What are you waiting for? Do as you�re told, or else you know what�s going to happen. Hey, come on� Who the fuck are you? What are you doing here?

RUBY So that�s who you were talking about? You need to help her. LUKAS What? RUBY You heard me. LUKAS I already helped her. RUBY Did you? Because it looks like she�s still in trouble. LUKAS She�s not me responsibility. RUBY You sure about that? LUKAS What do you mean? RUBY You lit a fire, LUKAS. And it was the right thing to do, but you can�t just walk away now. LUKAS I�ve got some work to do� If you don�t mind? RUBY To whom much is given, much will be required. LUKAS Why do you always do this? Don�t I do enough here? RUBY Of course you do, but you�re missing the point. I�m trying to save you. LUKAS Save me from what? From who? RUBY From yourself. ELISABETH Hi. It�s Thandi, right? NEO Yes. ELISABETH Hi. I�m Elisabeth. So good to meet you. I hope you haven�t been waiting long? NEO Oh no, I just got here. ELISABETH Good. I�m sorry we only have the penthouse unit available.

Follow me. RUBY All of these animals are predators. Art is from the soul. It�s a reflection of who we are. God will not let you be tested beyond your strength. We don�t get a choice. We have to face the noise. It�s just how it is. He did a lot worse than that. Things that would shame the devil. NEO What you did yesterday was.. terrifying. He�s in prison because of me. RUBY You lit a fire, LUKAS, and it was the right thing to do, but you can�t just walk away now. You need to accept who you are Lukas, and just stop running from it. I�m trying to save you. ELISABETH And of course, feel free to help yourself to any of the complimentary wine. NEO Thanks. ELISABETH So, that�s it. I hope you�ll be happy here. NEO I�m sure I will be. It�s beautiful. Thank you so much. ELISABETH Of course. And please, call downstairs if you need absolutely anything, okay? NEO Will do. ELISABETH Perfect, take care. NEO Thanks, bye. Fucking drugs! Is this what all these trips have been about? Seriously? PHUMZA Let me call you back. You need to calm down. It�s no big deal. NEO No big deal? Have you lost your mind? You�re a drug dealer. PHUMZA Hey, hey. Who do you think you�re talking to? Huh? And what do you think pays for all of this? NEO You think I�d be living here, with you, if I knew what you were doing? This is over. I�m leaving! Let me go. Let me go! PHUMZA You�re not going anywhere. Not with my child. NEO I�m not raising my daughter with a criminal. PHUMZA That�s my fucking child! NEO I don�t care. And you will never lay eyes on her. Now let me go! No! PHUMZA If you really want to go, then fucking go! But if I�m never laying eyes on her, neither are you. LUKAS Neo! It�s Lukas, from the shelter. NEO Hey. It�s good to see you. LUKAS Hey. NEO Please, come in. I know what you�re thinking. It�s not my money. LUKAS So, you�re a doctor? NEO Yes, or at least I used to be. I had to stop practising about a year ago. LUKAS So, your ex, who is he? NEO PHUMZA Sithole. You might have heard of him? LUKAS No. What did he do? NEO He�s a drug dealer. I had no idea. He�s also murdered some people. I testified against him. LUKAS Still want my help? NEO Yes. Very much. I�ll pay you whatever you want. LUKAS It�s not about the money. NEO Okay� Then what is it about? LUKAS Finishing what I started. That�s not good. Let�s go. NEO What? LUKAS Move. NEO� Shoot anyone who comes near you. NEO What? LUKAS Just pull the trigger. Don�t hesitate. Mtho It doesn�t matter if you kill me. He�s never going to stop. He�s crazy. You don�t know him. LUKAS And you don�t know me. Turn around. Turn around. Call him. PHUMZA Have you got her? Mtho No. No boss. It�s that guy. He�s here again. PHUMZA What are you talking about? Fucking kill him. LUKAS They�ve already tried. PHUMZA What�s your name? LUKAS You can keep sending them. I�ll keep killing them. Or you can forget about NEO, and maybe I�ll forget about you. PHUMZA Who are you? NEO LUKAS, you�re bleeding. LUKAS Yeah. It�s fine. It�s just a graze. NEO It�s a lot worse than that. LUKAS I�m fine. Where�s your phone? NEO My car�s in the basement. LUKAS Forget about your car. It�s not safe. NEO I was running late for my doctor�s appointment. My car wouldn�t start, so I took his. That�s when I noticed the box on the back seat. With all the drugs inside.
