Disaster Holiday (2024) Movie Script
1
Okay, let's go, people.
- Let's go, please.
- Move it!
What are you doing in the fast lane?
Okay!
Okay!
Nandi!
Nandipha!
Yoh.
They're going to kill me, you know.
I'm coming, babe.
Oh, Lord, she's going to kill us.
We're very late.
Yoh.
They're going to kill us.
I know.
- Wait.
- What?
How will we all fit in the car?
Yoh.
Joseph Ngema here. I'm unavailable.
Please try again later.
- I need to pee.
- Let's go to the bathroom.
Made it!
We made it!
We are here.
No.
You're late. Again.
Actually, work was very...
Hectic. We know, Joseph.
Lily.
I'm your father.
Please, call me Baba.
Baba.
Uh, who's excited for Zanzibar?
- Yeah!
- I know I am.
We're gonna have
the best time of our lives.
- It's going to be amazing, yeah?
- Hit it here, Zamo.
Okay.
No ways.
Have you seen the video of the traffic
officer dancing while directing traffic?
Look. She even does the bhebha.
Okay.
You missed it, Baba.
And this was the final assembly for the
term and I won the top prize for my year.
- And you weren't there to see any of it.
- Guys?
I'm sorry, my baby.
Can you wrap this up?
Guys, I'm really sorry, neh?
But I want you to understand one thing.
If I do not work, then you don't get
to do all these wonderful things
like going to Zanzibar, right?
Is that what you want?
Huh?
You can afford to be a little grateful.
Oh.
- Oops.
- Oops.
- Lily.
- Get in the car.
Dora.
Please. It's our turn with the kids.
I even cooked.
- Sorry, and you are?
- Uh.
Dora. This is my wife.
I've been married to her for three years.
You know her.
You will hear from my lawyers soon.
Let's go.
Baby? Zamo.
Zamo.
You're crazy!
But at least
she didn't slap you this time.
Progress.
Progress, baby.
We are no longer the number one
toilet paper brand in South Africa.
- Oh, thank you, Mavis.
- Welcome.
So we need to downsize.
I can't justify having two of you
on the brand team anymore.
So, as of next month,
there will only be one person heading up
marketing for Roll With It,
and...
I'm sorry.
Our competitors are killing us.
Oh.
Can wait.
All good.
So, to secure your place
as the new Head Chief Marketing Officer
of Roll With It,
you guys need to come up
with a fresh, new marketing strat
to make us
the number one toilet paper brand again.
I'm talking mass-market things.
So you'll be pitching to the board
and stakeholders on Monday in Durban.
This Monday?
Yes.
Do you have other plans?
No, I'm actually due for my annual leave.
And I promised my wife and my kids
that I was gonna take them
on an epic holiday in Zanzibar.
- And I think...
- Jojo.
John?
John? Are you sleeping?
Are you done with that boring story?
How does indefinite leave sound?
If he doesn't pitch,
does that mean I get the job?
I'll be there.
I won't miss it.
Good.
The Van Niekerks feel we've lost
the company ethos.
They want to bring back the family values
that their parents established
- over 30 years ago.
- Thirty years.
So we're meeting them
at some resort for the pitch.
I'll have Thembi book us in
for the weekend.
We can do the pitch run-throughs
on Sunday before the big day on Monday.
I really need you
to wow the hell out of them.
All our jobs are at stake here.
- Me.
- Tyrone?
What happens to the person
that doesn't win the pitch?
I guess we'll finally see a rise
in toilet paper sales
since you'll be crying yourself to sleep
because you won't have a job.
No job.
Hey, Tsholo,
do you know that he didn't pitch
at his daughter's final assembly?
- Even at this session, he was late.
- Hang on, can I say...
- You were late, right?
- She's the one who
Listen!
I'm actually going through a lot at work.
Work, work, work.
It is my work that makes sure
that our kids go to the best schools
and they get everything they deserve.
Huh?
Tsholo, I pay maintenance
every month, religiously.
I'm never late.
How many men come here
and say the same thing?
- Well
- Exactly my point.
I work hard for my children.
I work really hard.
- Unlike my father, who never bothered...
- Oh, here we go, Tsholo. Mm-hmm.
We had nothing.
We had absolutely nothing.
But look at me now.
You know,
the ten-year-old Joseph would be so...
Now you see
the reason I divorced him.
- I can never say a thing.
- I was a single parent while married.
- I'm still a single parent now.
- Look here,
- I give a lot of money that she spends on
- I should get full custody of the kids.
- I don't even know...
- Okay, enough. Enough.
I am not revoking the terms
of the custody agreement.
- Hallelujah.
- Mr. Ngema,
this is your holiday with the kids.
The kids will be with you
from tomorrow. Right, Joseph?
- About that...
- No.
May I please remind you
that this is your last chance
to prove yourself to these kids?
Otherwise, I'll have to recommend
that they revoke the custody agreement
- in favor of Dora.
- Hmm.
All I was trying to say
is that there are some
small changes, you know, to the itinerary.
- That's all.
- Okay.
We're going to Durban.
Durban?
The kids are expecting to go to Zanzibar.
Joseph, what do you mean "Durban"?
Hmm?
What's going on?
Nothing.
You know what? I was feeling bad
about what happened yesterday.
So I'm trying to make it up to the kids.
That's all I'm trying to do right here.
And I thought I'll do this
the old-school way.
I mean, like a family trip.
A family road trip, you know?
Just to create memories.
No, man. Who wants to go to Zanzibar?
That place is not so good.
I mean, there's naked guys walking around.
Naked girls No.
Who wants to be in Zanzibar?
I wanna go to Durban
with my kids to create the bond.
- Once Joseph says...
- Dora.
- No meddling.
- Right? No meddling.
The kids will call you
if there are any emergencies.
And there will be
no emergencies. Right, Joseph?
Mm-mmm.
No.
No, it's going to be a beautiful,
fun family trip, you know?
It's going to be brilliant.
- Durban?
- eThekwini.
So, time out. Pause.
I promised the Junestars Zanzibar.
I can't just switch on them like that.
I could get canceled.
What are "Junestars"?
My followers.
My child, please can we try
to speak isiZulu here at home?
Let's just try. Please.
Um. Question. Does Mom know you're here?
She doesn't like visitors.
I am not a visitor. I'm your father.
Okay. What's going on then?
Is this another
custody mediation exercise?
Mm-mmm. No. My child. No.
This is just for us as a family
to spend time together.
And what better way
than to do it on a road trip?
- Huh?
- Hmm?
- Road trip?
- Yeah.
- Us?
- Yes.
So, we're not flying?
Uh-uh.
Know what, might as well just cancel me.
Hmm.
Are we still gonna go
to the beach, Joseph?
Yeah. But in our backyard, you know?
Where local is lekker.
And you promise to take us to the beach
every single day?
No meetings or calls or work.
Just like you promised, Joseph.
Of course. I'm on leave.
Cross your heart and hope to die?
No, those are huge terms and conditions,
young lady.
That's the only way
to make a promise, Joseph.
No, but you promise me that you
are gonna call me Baba from now on.
Okay, Joseph.
Cross my heart and
hope to die.
We're going to the beach!
Now, this This is the worst.
Now I need to rework my content calendar.
Great start, Joseph.
We're going to the beach!
You know, I had planned out my whole trip.
Firstly, I was going to use the plane ride
to study for my driver's test
by re-reading my K53 book.
And then, I was going to use the holiday
to do my own final practicals.
I had plans, Joseph.
I had plans to use the golf cart
at the resort.
And now I have to rethink
my whole schedule.
- Driver's, Zamo?
- You have a lot of time.
- You're only 16.
- You're still young.
- Excuse me?
- We're going to the beach!
I'm 18 in six months.
Got you!
That's a joke right there.
Duh!
You are 18, I know!
I know you are 18.
Eighteen?
- Okay, baby.
- Okay, babe, slowly.
- Don't rush.
- Nice and slow.
Where are we going?
- It's a step?
- No, it's not a step.
You are such a scaredy-cat.
Okay, stand right here.
- Okay.
- And in three, two, one.
Voil!
Baby. And then?
I have some news and we have to celebrate.
- Come, sit.
- Baby.
Sit down, baby.
Thank you, baby.
Amazing.
- Baby.
- Mm-hmm.
Your wishes are finally coming true.
Dora got hit by a bus?
- A bicycle?
- Come on, baby.
- I finally figured out
- Mm-hmm.
the way to make this family really bond.
Isn't that the whole point
for our Zanzibar trip?
- No, forget about Zanzibar.
- Huh?
I came up with something new.
A brilliant idea.
A road trip family holiday.
- A road trip?
- Yes.
As in me stuck in a car
with your kids for hours?
Babe. You know that's
a terrible idea. These kids hate us.
No, baby, they don't.
Didn't Junior send you a message
saying he hates you?
- That's how they speak, love.
- Mm-mmm.
Listen. Baby, come on.
Baby, you're supposed to be happy, hmm?
I'm finally listening to you, my love.
Come on.
Okay, fine. I'll go.
- But
- What?
As long as it's a no-work holiday.
I don't even want to see your laptop.
Pinky promise?
Pinky promise.
- Fine.
- It's going to be brilliant.
We are going to KZN tomorrow morning.
- Road trip.
- Yoh.
I think these are the last ones, baby.
This weather
I know, right?
- What is it?
- You look beautiful, nana.
- You're hot. You're on fire.
- Mm-hmm. I'm on fire.
Look at you. Huh.
I love my holiday Jojo.
Yeah.
- Ey, ey, ey.
- We're going to the beach!
- Lily!
- We're going to the beach!
You're driving me crazy!
Neighbors. Noise.
Calm down, baby.
Can you just please put your pods in?
That sound is annoying.
Your face is annoying.
Weak comeback. What are you, eight?
Argh! Zamo!
- Give me my phone back. Hey!
- Come and get it.
Guys. Stop it.
- Give it back.
- Zamo! Junior!
If you guys don't stop, I'm gonna cut
your allowance. I promise you.
That's how you do it.
"That's how you do it."
Can I get a picture, fam?
That is a brilliant idea. And you must
send it to your mom. Right?
- Everybody, get in.
- Whoa.
Who said anything about everyone?
@Junestar rolls solo for the gram.
- Help?
- He's saying
- that he wants a picture alone.
- But he just said "fam"?
Never mind.
The lighting's not even great anyways.
He said "fam."
Doesn't "fam" mean family?
Geez!
Let's finish up.
What is he doing?
Baba, do you think that's a good idea?
Baby, we don't need those things.
Your dad is an expert driver.
Uh.
We are on our way.
Um, I need to pee.
Yoh. Lily, you had all the time
in the world to go to the toilet.
- Now, that we have to go
- But I didn't have to go then.
I have to go now.
Are you okay?
Baba.
That truck came out of nowhere.
But that was amazing! Again!
What?
Yeah, it's flat.
I'm calling Mom.
What? Why?
Baba, we've just become
a holiday road accident statistic.
Zamo, we don't need to call
your mom. You hear me?
This is part of
the old-school family holiday adventure.
We're stuck on the N3.
This is not an adventure.
It's a crime scene waiting to happen.
Um, does that mean that we're not going
to the beach anymore?
No! Baby, we have to be there tonight.
So I can work on my
mmm
work on my swing.
Golf swing.
- And since when have you been into golf?
- Ah, baby.
- I love Tiger Woods.
- You know this.
Name any other golfer.
Why don't we fix the tire, guys?
As a family. All of us.
I promise you, it's going to be fun.
Come. Let's do it together as a family.
I left the jack.
"We won't need it!"
"I'm an expert driver."
- Yeah.
- According to Google,
there's a petrol station
two kilometers away from here.
That can't be too bad, right?
Bad for what?
Whoa! Guys
Some help would be great.
Even if we get it out the ditch, Baba,
the tire still needs to be changed.
And you don't have
the equipment for that, do you?
But you heard what Nandi said.
Nandi said the garage is
two kilometers away from here.
We'll drive slowly.
Okay,
so would you rather stay here
or get to the garage and be safe?
Huh?
- Great. Come.
- Argh. Fine.
Let's go.
Junior!
- Come!
- But what about my content?
- Give it to your sister, man.
- She will film you.
Come. Yoh.
- Okay. This way.
- Yeah, man.
There. This is
No. Lily, are you...
Yoh. Okay.
Okay, let's go!
Step on it, Nandi!
That's what I'm talking about!
- You see? Teamwork makes the dream work.
- Ugh!
Okay. Let's get Pringles.
Fanta.
Oh, no.
- Did he see me?
- Who?
- Get down.
- Ow.
Zamo
- Zamo!
- Huh?
Themba.
So, are you also headed to Durban?
- Uh-huh.
- Oh, nah, nah. That's fire.
So, do you have any plans
of going to Beachfest?
- Cassper's gonna be headlining.
- Bet!
Bet?
I love Cassper.
Cool. That's dope.
So, tell me.
Where are you staying?
Maybe you and I can link up.
Bro. Themba, let's go.
Um, I have to bounce.
But catch you at Beachfest?
Front row, fam.
Oh.
"I love Cassper Nyovest."
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
Argh. Why do you have to be so loud?
- You like him.
- What?
- Yes.
- No!
I'd never pretend to be into an artist
for a guy. Mm-mmm.
Argh, let's just go.
Oh, my God.
Joseph?
Uh, Tyrone?
What the hell are you doing here?
Clearly the same thing as you.
I'm headed to the resort for the pitch.
But I decided to bring
my family along too.
They're actually gonna
be part of my pitch.
So you brought your family along
to use them in your pitch?
There's no better way to show them why
I'm the best man for the job, you know?
You being divorced and all
Might be hard for you to relate.
Tell me, how's your pitch coming along?
Great! I just need to do final touches.
Great! I'm almost done with mine.
- Great!
- Great!
Great.
You know, where's my manners?
Come meet my family.
Come.
Honey, it's Jojo from work.
Ty-Ty, where have you been?
I missed you.
I was only gone for a few seconds.
Argh, sorry, man, Jojo.
How rude of us.
Hmm.
Is everything okay?
Perfect.
It's just
Hey, hey.
You're a bit tense.
Okay.
My wife's a spiritual healer.
- Like a sangoma without the bones.
- Oh.
If you need a reading,
call me.
Okay.
- Jojo?
- Hey.
- Hey, my baby. My sweetheart.
- Oh.
Mmm.
What are you doing?
My sweet throat lozenge.
My umbrella on a sunny day.
My Kentucky Fried Chicken bone.
My lover, my life, my everything.
Tyrone.
Tyrone?
The one from work.
I talk about him all the time.
Hey, babe. The only guy you ever talk
about is a weird guy who annoys you.
That's my Nandi right there.
That's my wife.
She's a funny person.
She's a jokester, hey?
- Oh, the Tyrone.
- Yes.
- Not the other one from work.
- Yes.
Yeah, there's no other Tyrone at work.
Guys, we better get going, you know?
We left the kids unattended.
So, as responsible parents,
we're gonna go.
Okay, bye.
See you at the resort.
Don't worry, baby.
You've got this in the bag.
When Tyrone spoke
about the resort, what did he mean?
That's classic Tyrone.
That guy says a lot of things,
random things, that don't make sense.
The only person saying a lot of
random things that make no sense is you.
Ah, baby.
Why are we talking about him?
Aren't we supposed to be talking about
how wonderful and amazing this trip is?
Amazing, isn't it?
Why are you acting weird?
Weird? Me, weird?
These kids
Where are these kids?
These kids are really messing
with my time right now.
I don't know
Oh, there they are!
Oh, my children are back. Amazing!
Where's Lily?
I thought she was with you.
I left her with you at the till.
Uh.
Classic Lily.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Thando
Happy birthday to you
Hi, Joseph!
Meet my new friends. Look!
Her name's Thando,
her name's Siyamthanda, and her name's...
- We have to go.
- What?
I can't hear you.
Mmm.
Baba, Waze says you're 60 kilometers
over the speeding limit.
And with the spare wheel you are using
it's probably not wise to be speeding.
Zamo, tell Waze to mind its business.
I always win.
- Um Baba.
- What?
We're being pulled over!
Ja, you drive
as you like on the road?
Do you know what speed you were going?
Around 67 kilometers
over the speed limit.
You have some nerve.
Do you know "Arrive Alive"?
Thanks, Zamo.
Look now,
I have a 5,000 rand fine!
Um, I need to pee.
My man, 95, full tank.
- Go. You want to wee.
- Come, Lily.
Go.
- Guys, make it snappy, man.
- It's getting late.
Yoh.
Joseph, you made it.
You should really learn
to stick to the rules of the road.
Tyrone.
Especially since I see your daughter
is studying for her learner's.
I'm actually studying for my driver's.
I have my learner's.
You know, I taught my son
everything he knows.
Passed his driver's first time.
Chop, chop.
Well, my dad has no time
to teach me anything.
Oh, Joseph.
See that, huh?
Another Ngema jokester.
Yeah, no. She knows
that I always give her my car.
No, actually, my plan was using this trip,
you know, to further her driving skills.
- Oh.
- She's going to be driving
some of this route.
- I am?
- Yes.
Surprise.
I always surprise my kids.
Nandi, it's so good to see you again.
Joseph was just telling me
how he loves to let your daughter drive.
Uh, Baba, it's illegal to have passengers
in the vehicle with me as a learner.
Yeah, also, won't we need a I sign
at the back of the car?
Oh, wait. We just have to look
at your face and people will know.
Junior.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Baby?
What the hell did I just miss?
Honey, it's the Ngemas.
They made it.
Um, guys?
What's with the creepy family
staring at us?
I'd also love to know.
Zamo, you know how to drive, right?
Yes, I've been taking lessons all year.
Just take the car
out of the garage, you know.
I'll take over driving
once we're around the corner.
They won't see.
No. I've got this.
Seat belts, everyone.
Okay.
Checks.
Nomzamo. Let's go.
You know,
my mother taught me how to drive.
She used to say, "Close your eyes,
imagine the destination."
And everything will fall into place."
That sounds like terrible advice.
Okay.
Go.
Slow. Almost there.
Turn. Keep turning.
Oh, my gosh. Are we even moving?
Argh, shut up, Junior.
Safety first.
Wait! Where's Lily?
Eish. I'll go look for her.
- Next time, I'll let you wet yourself.
- I'm telling you right now.
We're never gonna get to the beach.
You know what?
Somebody must record Zamo driving.
And we'll send a video to your mom
so that she can see
how exciting this trip is.
- Who wants to do it?
- Yeah.
- No. Don't stress. I will do it.
- Nandi?
Ah, that's my boy.
Junior, thank you very much. Hmm.
Hey, Zamo's followers.
Your girl is literally driving,
and she is the worst driver.
- Just look at her.
- What are you doing?
We're live, baby!
- Give me back my phone, Junior!
- Hey.
Someone just take my phone, please.
Junior, please give the phone
back to your sister.
- No.
- Just give it back!
Give it back to me then. Please.
- Junior.
- Just give it back, Junior!
- Give it here, man.
- No!
No joking, man.
She's driving, man.
I hate you! Give it back!
- Guys!
- Hey!
- Guys!
- Why aren't you doing anything, Joseph?
Why are you not looking at the road?
- Zamo!
- Hey.
- Zamo.
- Junior.
Give my phone!
- Give it to me.
- Guys!
Give my phone.
- Guys?
- Give my phone. Give it!
- You guys?
- We'll take you to the toilet. It's okay.
The car's driving away.
No. My phone.
My laptop.
My flamingo!
My wigs.
My phone.
I'm definitely gonna fail my driver's.
Oh, my wigs.
Yes!
Baba?
- It's Mom.
- Don't answer.
No. It's gonna make her suspicious.
Please answer. Answer it, babe.
Okay.
Dora. How are you?
Come on, Joseph.
Why are you answering Zamo's phone?
No. Zamo is not here.
- I mean, she's having fun.
- She can't come to the phone now.
Pass the phone.
Pass the phone to the kids.
They are swimming, Dora.
- Swimming?
- Can you hear the water?
It's a bright,
beautiful, sunny day.
The kids are just having so much
Was that thunder?
Dora? Hello?
- Can't hear you Dora Hello?
- Joseph. Give Zamo the phone. Joseph!
Don't be weak, man.
Apply more pressure.
Ma'am, that's the hardest I can go.
No, man! Apply more pressure!
What now?
Let's just see if we can get help
from the old couple at the house.
- Go!
- I'll sort out everything.
I will take care of the bags.
- Are you kidding?
- Let's go.
Come on.
Please.
Please, man.
Yay!
Hallelujah!
I've got a unicorn.
Thank you so much for my unicorn.
- I've got a unicorn.
- Yay! My family's back.
Oh, guys, you're looking good.
Nice and dry, and colorful.
And what's that?
That was to make up for the flamingo.
That's my baby.
You know, that's why I married you.
You are so nice, man.
You have a nice spirit.
And speaking about people
with nice spirits,
our insurance is sending us a tow truck.
They said that they can only give us
another car tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Where the hell are we gonna sleep?
Baby, I tried phoning around,
and all the places are fully booked.
What do you expect, Baba?
It's school holidays.
And I miss my mommy.
I can't believe I'm about to say this,
but me too.
- Joseph, this was a terrible idea.
- Can we please go home?
Finally, something we both can agree on.
No. No, baby.
Why?
We are Ngemas!
Ngemas don't give up.
The ten-year-old Joseph would have said
"Ngemas don't give up."
Ten-year-old Joseph is the worst.
Joseph
Ngema.
Yes?
Where's the car?
Yoh, babe.
We don't even have a place to sleep.
Mmm.
Don't worry.
There is a B&B that I know.
And it's a very nice B&B, sir.
- Do you have their number?
- I'll do better than that.
I'll can take you there.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Can you take us to Durban?
- No need to go to Durban.
It's very far, my man,
and I'm running late.
You will love the B&B I am talking about.
It's a very top-notch B&B, sir.
When you see it,
you'll like it and be in a better mood.
Let's go.
Babe, uh-uh.
Let's go.
Baba.
We can't just ask for lifts
from strangers.
- But he is not a stranger.
- The insurance sent him.
Baba, I swear, if I die today...
It'd be a welcome blessing.
- Junior.
- Ow.
Let's go. Come.
Nandi.
Come. Lily, thank you, my love.
Zamo.
- Zamo!
- Hmm?
- Fine.
- Thank you.
Hey, my man.
Didn't you say it was a B&B?
No, man.
Use your eyes.
Here is the B&B right in front of you.
You know what?
My mother runs what we call
a 17-stars, top hotel in this area.
So your mother runs this one?
Yes, my mother. They call her Ma Rosie.
Hey!
- Hello.
- Welcome to Ma Rosie's B&B.
Tell me this is a joke, my man.
'Cause when I was speaking to you, I said
I'm looking for a B&B,
but it should be in town, not here.
I can't do that because there are others
that I need to go and help.
- See what you can do, Ma.
- All right, Son.
Hmm.
My rooms are fully booked.
But we have one last room left
and it's a family room.
You are lucky!
Come. Follow me.
Don't worry about your luggage.
We have boys who can help.
You know,
my mum and I used to share a bed.
Why?
We used to live in a backroom.
It was cramped.
Just like this one.
Well, Pops, did it suck as much as this?
No.
She seemed to make it fun all the time.
How?
- Move.
- Hmm?
- Come, move.
- I'm asking you. Please.
Can you just do what I say
without having to question me for once.
Please.
Nandi, I'm talking to you.
- Please, Zamo, come.
- Junior, Lily. Come.
- Let's go. Get up.
- What is up with this guy?
I'm gonna show you this, okay?
This is how
Yep!
Yep! Come on, Lily. Nice.
Yeah!
You guys are gonna break the bed.
Zamo, you sound just like Mom.
Come on, Zamo. Come.
- Zamo, man. Live a little.
- Have fun!
Baby girl, come.
Junior! Yay! Zamo, come on now.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I am not looking for excuses.
I'm looking for a car.
I am desperate.
That is why I pay insurance every month
so that I can get a car when I need it!
I don't care.
Make a plan!
Are things not working out?
They say they'll give me a car
in a few hours.
That won't work.
I have to be in Durban before evening.
I think this whole trip
has been a mistake.
- I have a car.
- I can give it to you.
Would all of us fit in it?
Including our luggage? All of us?
So perfectly.
The only thing is
that you must bring it back
in the same condition as you found it.
- Yeah.
- Hmm?
Because if you fail to do that
heads will roll.
I will look for you
every which way, in every nook and cranny,
and I will find you. Mmm.
Understood?
- I will bring it back.
- In one piece.
- I promise.
- Good.
Oh.
- My cell phone?
- Oh. Thank you.
Is this the car?
My pride and joy.
Is there no other car?
Didn't you say you need to be in Durban?
Yes. Where are the keys?
Follow me.
This car does not have any keys.
But there is a special way that I want you
to start the engine, you hear me?
Come. Let me show you.
Put these wires together like this.
Is this our car?
Do you see how beautiful it is?
- You see it?
- Ma Rosie.
Tell me. Is this car safe?
Very safe. No, everything...
- Whoa.
- No. Be careful.
The door has its own problems.
But you can get in.
I'll close it properly once you're inside.
My boys, bring the luggage.
Get inside.
Make sure that you all get out
through the front.
Even those at the back,
they must jump over and use...
- Whoa.
- Baby, be careful.
Be Please.
- Should I get in, baby?
- Yes.
- Let me hold this.
- Okay.
Put another bag there.
- Pull it, baby.
- Pack it in the back.
Oh, I put your cell phones in some rice,
as you had requested.
Oh, yes. The phones.
Only one of them won't turn on.
Bring it here.
It's my phone
that isn't working, baby.
Huh?
We'll share mine. We'll share.
No, no. Okay.
Okay, everybody must tell Dora
that everything is fine.
The resort is lovely.
It's beautiful here.
Please, I'm begging you.
Please. Right?
Okay, thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
It looks like someone is missing.
Lily.
Eish.
Lily.
- We have to go.
- But the beach is right there.
We could even have
our beach day right now.
Baby, I know, but we're on
a very tight, tight schedule.
But you promised, Joseph.
Yes, I did.
And I promise,
as soon as we get to the hotel,
we're gonna go straight to the beach.
Like my Facebook page!
- Baby, we should stop.
- Huh?
We should stop. Stop.
No. We have to get to the hotel, baby.
This is more important, babe.
It's more important. Look.
Look.
Okay! Fine!
- Fine?
- Five minutes only.
- Yes!
- Go. Let's go!
Let's turn back.
We're going to the beach!
- We're going to the beach!
- We're going to the beach!
Okay. There's the beach.
Now we can go to the hotel.
Let's run!
Hey! Hey, guys! Hey!
We have to go to the hotel, man!
We need to check in!
No, you guys. Hey!
Nandi!
Lily!
- Lily!
- Whoo!
Hey!
Hey, Lily!
Hey!
Hey, man!
You guys!
Guys!
- I'm serious, man.
- Come on, stop it! We must go!
Wow.
You know, you guys, you have it good.
You see, I promised
the ten-year-old Joseph
that I was going to break
the generational poverty curse.
Look at us now, baby. Look at us.
Wherever my mom is,
she's proud of me.
Tell me, Baba.
You really believe that
you're the father of the year, don't you?
You see your problem?
You kids who were born in the 2000s,
you're not grateful, man.
Okay.
What am I studying next year?
Accounting.
No!
No, no. Medicine, right?
And you know what?
You'll be a very good doctor.
Baba, the swimming lessons,
driving lessons, cell phones
and random holidays are nice.
But I would prefer for a dad
who actually cared about my life.
It's civil engineering, by the way.
That was going to be my next guess.
Look at what me and Auntie Nandi found.
That is so nice. Let me see.
Aw. Very, very cute.
That's for me. This one is for me.
Zamo, please pass my phone.
Let's take a picture. Everybody, get in.
Oh, you wanna take a picture with us?
- All of us?
- Even me?
Calm down.
It's only going on my story for 24 hours.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Everybody, get in.
Come in. Let's do it.
Let's take this picture.
Beautiful.
- Nice one.
- Can we get some ice cream?
Of course. Of course we can.
Please take your sister with you.
Let's go get some ice cream!
Don't forget about us.
Get us some, please.
- Please.
- Please.
- Yes!
- Yay.
- Let's go get some ice cream.
- Yeah!
I want vanilla.
Whoa!
I think we finally won them over.
- I told you.
- Patience, baby. Patience.
No, babe.
- No, baby.
- Babe.
- No. Can we please not use our phones.
- Look. Listen, my baby.
- It's Dora.
- So why would you answer her call?
But Dora
She wants an update on her kids.
I can't be fighting Dora, man.
Let me finish.
Please let me speak to her.
- Babe.
- I'm sorry, baby. I'm coming.
- Hi, Dora.
- Dora?
Sorry.
- Sorry, my bra.
- What are you on about?
I don't know. My caller ID reads you
as my ex-wife, for some reason.
Whatever. Listen,
can you e-mail me your presentation
before we meet up tonight for notes?
Sure. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- As in now!
- Yes, now.
- Now.
- Yes.
- I just need to get online.
I don't care. Now.
- Now.
- Yes.
Where is this thing?
Where did I put it, man?
Come on.
Hey, man. It's not here.
- Baby.
- Hey, babe.
Please. Call an Uber, go to
the hotel with the kids and check in.
I have to go back to Ma Rosie's place.
Why?
I've forgotten something. It's important.
What did you forget?
I checked the room before leaving.
Nana, I put it under the mattress.
What's under the mattress?
Joseph?
- Joseph!
- Huh?
It's a laptop, baby.
A laptop?
Joseph, you pinky-promised.
I know.
I know, baby.
Please, let's not do this now.
Everything is at stake here.
Just admit it.
You don't love us.
What you really love is your job.
You haven't come for the children
or the holiday.
I brought my kids here
because I love them
and I want to be with them.
I'm going to lose my job, baby.
So I need that laptop
because I've got a pitch tomorrow.
A pitch?
I didn't have a choice.
I'd choose my weekend with the kids.
- Guys.
- What?
We can't find Lily.
Where is Lily?
Lily!
- Come. Let's go.
- Come this side.
Lily!
Lily!
Lily! Move! Move!
Lily!
Lily, we have to go!
Help me! He's taking my child!
- Help!
- No, ma'am! It's a mistake!
Wait a minute.
You're wicked!
You're wicked!
What are you doing?
- Let's go.
- Please, sir. This is a mistake.
This is all a mistake.
- I've heard that story before.
- I can explain. This is all a mistake.
- How many times have I heard this story?
- I know.
- I know that.
- Tomorrow when you meet the magistrate,
tell him all of that. Let's go.
- Tomorrow?
- Close this gate.
Hey, today is Sunday.
Those people come in tomorrow.
Tomorrow is too late!
- What does that have to do with me?
- Can I have my phone call then? Please!
You're becoming a problem! Open.
- My wife and kids are all...
- Get out!
Let's go.
Hey!
Wake up, man.
Make your phone call.
Her phone isn't working.
Brother, can I ask you for a favor?
Please hand me my cell phone
so I can call my kids.
You see, now you're making
your problems mine.
You're wasting my time.
Hmm.
Hello, Maureen.
It's Joseph here.
Yes. Tyrone's coll friend.
Tyrone's best friend.
Could I please speak to Ty-Ty?
Please?
- Yes, I'd like to report a missing child.
- Her name is Silindile Ngema.
She's eight years old.
She got lost at the beach. When
we looked for her, we couldn't find her.
She's got a weak bladder, so we...
Hi, guys!
Hold on, Lily. Nandi's on the phone.
Huh?
Oh, my God.
Lily, we were worried.
I was by the aquarium,
and I saw sharks and I saw fishies.
And surprisingly enough,
there were no mermaids.
Where's Joseph?
- That one is probably at Ma Rosie's.
- Why?
You've got some catching up to do.
Okay.
Hi.
Um, sorry,
I reported a missing child here.
Silindile Ngema, but we've found her.
No one answered the phone,
so I came to explain.
He wasn't lying.
Uh, sister, you see your husband
No, no, no.
He talks a lot.
- My husband?
- Nandi?
- No ways. Tyrone?
- Ah. Great.
You are here. This means
I don't have to bail him out.
Huh?
What? What are you saying?
Joseph said
he got "wrongfully arrested."
And he decided to call you?
Hey, I'm glad you're here though.
Yeah, I was so scared I was gonna run late
for tonight's meeting.
Mmm. Hopefully he can still make it.
Or not.
Anyways, aweh.
Chief.
Hey, ma'am.
Please write a statement in detail
and tell me what happened to this child
so that I can let this guy go.
He didn't call us though.
- I don't understand.
- He was thinking of his meeting,
- not his child. So let him sleep here.
- No ways.
In fact, he must sleep in this jail.
- Unbelievable.
- Let him sleep here.
You see what I always say
about people from Joburg.
These people are a nuisance. Yoh!
Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Good bye.
Okay, I managed to get us
a flight out tomorrow.
Do we have to go home?
This is not even a real holiday.
He chose his work over us.
He always chooses his work over us.
She really just
left you to rot in here.
I'm talking about your wife, man.
My wife was here?
Yes, she came here to tell us
that she found your missing child.
Oh, thank God.
You told her that I'm here, right?
Well, the problem started when she
bumped into the Coloured man here.
She just turned around and left.
- She left?
- Yes.
How?
You told her
that I tried to call her, right?
And that I didn't sleep a wink,
thinking only about her and my kids?
You told her, right?
- Hey, hey. What you are doing?
- Did you tell her I love her?
I'm a useless man.
- I'm going to lose my job. And my kids.
- Hey, you, Fatty Boom Boom.
Get out of here.
- Hey, big guy, remove this fatty.
- Hey!
Get rid of this person!
You're taking too long, man!
You see what you're doing?
You're making people disrespect me.
- Get out. They're disrespecting me.
- He's disturbing us.
- I'll deal with you.
- No, you guys are dating!
What are you doing
touching a police officer?
- What is wrong with you Joburg people?
- Get out!
- I've warned you.
- Bye-bye.
Hey, man.
Please, man. Please give me a ride.
I have many problems.
No, man, run.
Hurry, man! I have to go. Hurry!
Whoa!
Thank you.
- Okay, we're leaving, guys.
- It's home time.
Seriously? What are the chances?
Get down before he sees us.
Come!
What?
- Who's that?
- Her crush.
Shut up, Junior.
Go talk to him.
- And say what?
- Just be yourself.
I would not advise that.
Don't listen to him.
You're perfect the way you are.
Just go.
Go.
Go.
Hey, Themba.
Zamo?
Are you stalking me?
What? No.
I'm here with my family,
and I thought I would come say hi,
but I totally understand
if you feel like I'm stalking you.
- That was not my intention at all.
- Yo. Chill. I was playing with you.
Oh.
This is why she shouldn't be herself.
So, do you wanna roll with us
to the Beachfest?
Uh
Nandi.
Hi, it is you. Come here.
Come here.
- Can you believe it?
- Mm-mmm.
One of our husbands is gonna be
without a job today.
I can't believe
it's come down to this, hey?
I mean, Ty-Ty and your Jojo
have always been so
A team, hey?
- Oh, shame, man.
- Maureen.
When you say one of
our husbands is gonna be out of a job,
what do you mean?
The pitch.
That's why we're all here, Nandi.
- Oh, God. He wasn't lying.
- Um
What-What time's the pitch again?
Two hours and counting!
Oh, I should get going.
Tyrone has our entire family
as a part of the pitch.
Oh, I'm so excited
and so proud of him.
May the best family win.
- Break a leg.
- Break a leg.
We have a problem.
Can I go to this festival?
I know we have a flight to catch,
but maybe we can leave later?
Can we have a family meeting real quick?
- What?
- Can we have a family meeting real quick?
Please.
- I'll be right back.
- Sure.
What?
What is it?
- What?
- So, your dad
I thought he was making up excuses
but it looks like he's gonna lose his job.
I'm sure Joseph has a plan.
He'll never miss work.
I'm not so sure.
Why?
He's in jail.
Hmm?
Look, I was gonna bail him out today,
it's just that I was so upset last night.
Uh
It's my mom.
Mom.
What did you do?
It's Mom.
Give me the phone.
Great. Now
she's definitely gonna hunt us down.
Uh I have an idea.
But we need a car. We
Oh, I'd never drive that piece of trash.
Is the family meeting over?
We really need to bounce.
I can't believe I'm about to do this.
But there's a family emergency
and I really need to sort it out.
Maybe we can link up back in Joburg.
Only when I'm on study break, of course.
Yeah, sure.
But I'll hold you down to it.
Okay
Hi, your cars are ready
to take you to the airport.
I got an idea. Ah
Can we please use one of your cars?
Just for a few minutes.
We'll bring it right back.
No. I could get fired.
How about now?
Bring it back in an hour.
Zamo, catch.
You're sure you want me to drive
after what happened?
It's the only way to learn. Come.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Close your eyes, imagine the destination,
and everything will fall into place.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye!
So, you're saying
they've checked out?
The lady said
they're rushing to the airport.
- Did they say what time the flight is?
- They didn't.
Eish, and their phones are off.
- No, brother, that's my charger.
- Put it to my room.
People from Joburg, my God.
Argh!
Aah! Yes!
Yes.
- Oh, no. Not the cops again.
- Oh, no!
Mmm.
Okay.
This way, sir.
Geez.
I-It's not what you think.
- I'm in a rush.
- There's a family emergency.
Do you know who I am?
Yes, you are
a respectable traffic officer.
No.
I'm the officer that's gone viral
on social media.
The one directing traffic while dancing.
That's me.
Uh, oh.
- Yes, that's me.
- Social media, right?
Yes.
Yes, over half a million views.
More or less.
So, you're the one on Instagram
and the "clock clock" app, like that?
I'm everywhere, my man.
Please lend me your phone, my sister.
I beg you.
My phone is dead. It's very important.
My kids are at the airport right now.
They are leaving.
And if they get on that flight, I will
never see them again. I'm begging you.
- Did they kidnap them?
- No, they left with their stepmother.
Yoh!
You know, on the topic of second wives
They are such a nuisance.
I know this
because I am a second wife myself.
You know what? Wait a minute.
- Take this. Yes.
- It's unlocked, right?
Hey, ma'am. How does thing work?
- Press the button. Press there.
- Which one?
- This button. Yes.
- Press here? Junior.
Don't get on that flight, please.
I beg you. I'm coming.
Yes. Let's go, sir.
- Let's go.
- No, no, no.
I won't let you drive this wreck.
It doesn't even have a door.
I should fine you.
Let's go!
It's going down.
Hurry up.
Is it Mom again?
You know the famous officer that dances?
Which one?
The one that does the Tobetsa?
Is this really the time, guys?
- She just slid into my DMs.
- Huh?
Junior.
Don't get on that flight,
please. I beg you. I'm coming.
- Uh, play it again.
- Okay.
Ma Rosie's taxi. Look!
Call him.
Joseph Ngema here.
I'm unavailable. Please leave a message.
DM the traffic officer and tell your dad
to get back to the hotel now.
Don't worry, you hear me?
Don't worry. I will find your children.
You see, your wife
- I will arrest her. She doesn't know me.
- No. But she
she's not like that, sister.
Sister, seriously?
My phone.
No, my sister. The steering wheel.
It's a message from your child.
- Please hold the steering wheel.
- Look.
Whoa.
Pops, get back to the hotel
right now. I repeat:
If you get this message, rush back.
It's an emergency.
Don't kill us!
Murder?
- No. No.
- It's not murder!
I didn't realize how serious this is.
No. I'm requesting backup.
- Come in, Officer. Do you copy?
- There's no need.
No.
I know that you have lost faith
in the SAPS.
But I'm here.
Nomzamo, Junior, Silindile Ngema.
Hey, Mom.
When did you get here?
I took the first flight
out of Johannesburg
as soon as I sensed
that something was wrong.
Wrong?
Wrong? Nothing Nothing is wrong.
Hey. Here, there.
What's happened to the child's eye?
Uh, she had an allergic reaction
to the face painting.
- Mrs. Ngema.
- Yes.
Oh.
Where the hell is he?
I
You know what? Never mind.
His career is pretty much over in any way.
This was a work trip?
Uh
- No.
- No, Mom. We can explain.
There's no such thing.
Let's go. Come.
No, Mom.
Let's go!
Wait.
Everybo
Everybody
Everybody, freeze!
No, no, no.
Man, it's you again?
Guys, I'm sorry.
Oh
You can still do it, babe.
Not only do you lie to me,
but you're
teaching my children to lie to me.
You know what?
I'm calling my lawyer. I'm sick of you.
- What exactly are you doing here?
- How can you ask me what I'm doing here?
How could you ask that question?
I'm here to save my kids.
'Cause you always screw up.
Congratulations, Dora.
- You're right.
- I did screw up.
I've been screwing up for years.
But I know what
the young Joseph would say right now.
- Mm-mmm.
- Baby, this is really not the time.
He'd be sad of what I've become.
Then why didn't you
just tell us the truth?
Sorry, baby. I'm sorry.
I was trying to fix things.
I didn't want you guys to think
that I cannot provide for you.
I don't want your money, Joseph.
I want you. I want our family.
I want family.
Seriously?
What the hell is going on here?
Mr. van Niekerk,
I'm very sorry.
But I'm not your man.
Tyrone may be weird,
but he knows way more
about family than I do.
I'm sure that it's time
for you to take me in
for wasting the police's resources.
It's time for you all
to disappear from Durban.
Johannesburg is calling you.
All of you should leave.
What are you doing?
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is how you win a pitch.
Don't you see it?
All the theatrics and endearing speech.
He even got the famous dancing cop
from social media.
You know what?
I agree with Zamo.
Me and my fam have been through the most,
and we're still here, together.
I have all the proof on my phone.
And this has been the best holiday
with my baba, and I love him very much.
Aw, baby.
I mean, what lengths isn't this man
willing to go through for his family?
Yeah.
Just like toilet paper in your home,
your family will always
come through for you.
Even in the most crappiest situations.
That's why you must keep it rolling
with Roll With It.
Because family will always
come through for you.
And that is my pitch.
What do you think?
Brilliant!
Roll With It toilet paper.
Because family always
comes through for you.
A new slogan and campaign.
Congrats, you got the job.
I knew our toilet paper dance routine
would be too much.
I knew it was a setup all along.
No. Whoa.
- I can't do it.
- Baby?
I've missed so much time with my kids.
And I can't do it anymore.
I mean, my daughter,
she's going to be a civil engineer.
My son is turning 12.
I'm 13.
Yes.
And my little daughter here,
we have to get her bladder checked.
Dora,
I'm sorry I lied.
But all I wanted was a chance, you know?
Just to get better at this dad thing.
And I hope
you won't call your lawyers.
I think you have things under control.
No, no, no.
Joseph,
what if you worked in your own hours?
Well, it's a lot. I can't do it alone.
I'll need Tyrone.
Well, we'll follow your lead.
I thought you said that you're downsizing.
To be honest,
we'll probably just get rid of John.
Nobody likes the guy.
So, do we have a deal?
Yeah!
- Yes, we have a deal.
- Yes!
Come on. Bring it in.
In three, two, one
Ngema!
- Are you listening? Okay? Okay, let's go.
- Yeah.
- Oh
- Oh, baby
- You got that?
- Okay.
Oh, baby
Hey.
Baby.
Baby,
I think I'm ready.
Ready for what?
For a baby.
- Baby?
- A baby!
- Baby?
- A baby!
A baby?
Baba.
Baba, I really need to pee.
Baba?
- Baba?
- Joseph?
- Joseph?
- Baba?
Baba?
- Joseph?
- Baba?
Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Dad?
- Joseph?
- Baba!
- What's poppin', Instagram?
- I wanna listen to Wait.
You know what?
Why don't we just fix the tire?
All of us as a family.
Oh, my God.
Whoo!
Junior! Please!
- What about my content?
- Argh.
- Give it to your sister.
- She will film it, man!
Oh, my God, guys.
This is the Junior takeover, fam.
Okay, let's go, people.
- Let's go, please.
- Move it!
What are you doing in the fast lane?
Okay!
Okay!
Nandi!
Nandipha!
Yoh.
They're going to kill me, you know.
I'm coming, babe.
Oh, Lord, she's going to kill us.
We're very late.
Yoh.
They're going to kill us.
I know.
- Wait.
- What?
How will we all fit in the car?
Yoh.
Joseph Ngema here. I'm unavailable.
Please try again later.
- I need to pee.
- Let's go to the bathroom.
Made it!
We made it!
We are here.
No.
You're late. Again.
Actually, work was very...
Hectic. We know, Joseph.
Lily.
I'm your father.
Please, call me Baba.
Baba.
Uh, who's excited for Zanzibar?
- Yeah!
- I know I am.
We're gonna have
the best time of our lives.
- It's going to be amazing, yeah?
- Hit it here, Zamo.
Okay.
No ways.
Have you seen the video of the traffic
officer dancing while directing traffic?
Look. She even does the bhebha.
Okay.
You missed it, Baba.
And this was the final assembly for the
term and I won the top prize for my year.
- And you weren't there to see any of it.
- Guys?
I'm sorry, my baby.
Can you wrap this up?
Guys, I'm really sorry, neh?
But I want you to understand one thing.
If I do not work, then you don't get
to do all these wonderful things
like going to Zanzibar, right?
Is that what you want?
Huh?
You can afford to be a little grateful.
Oh.
- Oops.
- Oops.
- Lily.
- Get in the car.
Dora.
Please. It's our turn with the kids.
I even cooked.
- Sorry, and you are?
- Uh.
Dora. This is my wife.
I've been married to her for three years.
You know her.
You will hear from my lawyers soon.
Let's go.
Baby? Zamo.
Zamo.
You're crazy!
But at least
she didn't slap you this time.
Progress.
Progress, baby.
We are no longer the number one
toilet paper brand in South Africa.
- Oh, thank you, Mavis.
- Welcome.
So we need to downsize.
I can't justify having two of you
on the brand team anymore.
So, as of next month,
there will only be one person heading up
marketing for Roll With It,
and...
I'm sorry.
Our competitors are killing us.
Oh.
Can wait.
All good.
So, to secure your place
as the new Head Chief Marketing Officer
of Roll With It,
you guys need to come up
with a fresh, new marketing strat
to make us
the number one toilet paper brand again.
I'm talking mass-market things.
So you'll be pitching to the board
and stakeholders on Monday in Durban.
This Monday?
Yes.
Do you have other plans?
No, I'm actually due for my annual leave.
And I promised my wife and my kids
that I was gonna take them
on an epic holiday in Zanzibar.
- And I think...
- Jojo.
John?
John? Are you sleeping?
Are you done with that boring story?
How does indefinite leave sound?
If he doesn't pitch,
does that mean I get the job?
I'll be there.
I won't miss it.
Good.
The Van Niekerks feel we've lost
the company ethos.
They want to bring back the family values
that their parents established
- over 30 years ago.
- Thirty years.
So we're meeting them
at some resort for the pitch.
I'll have Thembi book us in
for the weekend.
We can do the pitch run-throughs
on Sunday before the big day on Monday.
I really need you
to wow the hell out of them.
All our jobs are at stake here.
- Me.
- Tyrone?
What happens to the person
that doesn't win the pitch?
I guess we'll finally see a rise
in toilet paper sales
since you'll be crying yourself to sleep
because you won't have a job.
No job.
Hey, Tsholo,
do you know that he didn't pitch
at his daughter's final assembly?
- Even at this session, he was late.
- Hang on, can I say...
- You were late, right?
- She's the one who
Listen!
I'm actually going through a lot at work.
Work, work, work.
It is my work that makes sure
that our kids go to the best schools
and they get everything they deserve.
Huh?
Tsholo, I pay maintenance
every month, religiously.
I'm never late.
How many men come here
and say the same thing?
- Well
- Exactly my point.
I work hard for my children.
I work really hard.
- Unlike my father, who never bothered...
- Oh, here we go, Tsholo. Mm-hmm.
We had nothing.
We had absolutely nothing.
But look at me now.
You know,
the ten-year-old Joseph would be so...
Now you see
the reason I divorced him.
- I can never say a thing.
- I was a single parent while married.
- I'm still a single parent now.
- Look here,
- I give a lot of money that she spends on
- I should get full custody of the kids.
- I don't even know...
- Okay, enough. Enough.
I am not revoking the terms
of the custody agreement.
- Hallelujah.
- Mr. Ngema,
this is your holiday with the kids.
The kids will be with you
from tomorrow. Right, Joseph?
- About that...
- No.
May I please remind you
that this is your last chance
to prove yourself to these kids?
Otherwise, I'll have to recommend
that they revoke the custody agreement
- in favor of Dora.
- Hmm.
All I was trying to say
is that there are some
small changes, you know, to the itinerary.
- That's all.
- Okay.
We're going to Durban.
Durban?
The kids are expecting to go to Zanzibar.
Joseph, what do you mean "Durban"?
Hmm?
What's going on?
Nothing.
You know what? I was feeling bad
about what happened yesterday.
So I'm trying to make it up to the kids.
That's all I'm trying to do right here.
And I thought I'll do this
the old-school way.
I mean, like a family trip.
A family road trip, you know?
Just to create memories.
No, man. Who wants to go to Zanzibar?
That place is not so good.
I mean, there's naked guys walking around.
Naked girls No.
Who wants to be in Zanzibar?
I wanna go to Durban
with my kids to create the bond.
- Once Joseph says...
- Dora.
- No meddling.
- Right? No meddling.
The kids will call you
if there are any emergencies.
And there will be
no emergencies. Right, Joseph?
Mm-mmm.
No.
No, it's going to be a beautiful,
fun family trip, you know?
It's going to be brilliant.
- Durban?
- eThekwini.
So, time out. Pause.
I promised the Junestars Zanzibar.
I can't just switch on them like that.
I could get canceled.
What are "Junestars"?
My followers.
My child, please can we try
to speak isiZulu here at home?
Let's just try. Please.
Um. Question. Does Mom know you're here?
She doesn't like visitors.
I am not a visitor. I'm your father.
Okay. What's going on then?
Is this another
custody mediation exercise?
Mm-mmm. No. My child. No.
This is just for us as a family
to spend time together.
And what better way
than to do it on a road trip?
- Huh?
- Hmm?
- Road trip?
- Yeah.
- Us?
- Yes.
So, we're not flying?
Uh-uh.
Know what, might as well just cancel me.
Hmm.
Are we still gonna go
to the beach, Joseph?
Yeah. But in our backyard, you know?
Where local is lekker.
And you promise to take us to the beach
every single day?
No meetings or calls or work.
Just like you promised, Joseph.
Of course. I'm on leave.
Cross your heart and hope to die?
No, those are huge terms and conditions,
young lady.
That's the only way
to make a promise, Joseph.
No, but you promise me that you
are gonna call me Baba from now on.
Okay, Joseph.
Cross my heart and
hope to die.
We're going to the beach!
Now, this This is the worst.
Now I need to rework my content calendar.
Great start, Joseph.
We're going to the beach!
You know, I had planned out my whole trip.
Firstly, I was going to use the plane ride
to study for my driver's test
by re-reading my K53 book.
And then, I was going to use the holiday
to do my own final practicals.
I had plans, Joseph.
I had plans to use the golf cart
at the resort.
And now I have to rethink
my whole schedule.
- Driver's, Zamo?
- You have a lot of time.
- You're only 16.
- You're still young.
- Excuse me?
- We're going to the beach!
I'm 18 in six months.
Got you!
That's a joke right there.
Duh!
You are 18, I know!
I know you are 18.
Eighteen?
- Okay, baby.
- Okay, babe, slowly.
- Don't rush.
- Nice and slow.
Where are we going?
- It's a step?
- No, it's not a step.
You are such a scaredy-cat.
Okay, stand right here.
- Okay.
- And in three, two, one.
Voil!
Baby. And then?
I have some news and we have to celebrate.
- Come, sit.
- Baby.
Sit down, baby.
Thank you, baby.
Amazing.
- Baby.
- Mm-hmm.
Your wishes are finally coming true.
Dora got hit by a bus?
- A bicycle?
- Come on, baby.
- I finally figured out
- Mm-hmm.
the way to make this family really bond.
Isn't that the whole point
for our Zanzibar trip?
- No, forget about Zanzibar.
- Huh?
I came up with something new.
A brilliant idea.
A road trip family holiday.
- A road trip?
- Yes.
As in me stuck in a car
with your kids for hours?
Babe. You know that's
a terrible idea. These kids hate us.
No, baby, they don't.
Didn't Junior send you a message
saying he hates you?
- That's how they speak, love.
- Mm-mmm.
Listen. Baby, come on.
Baby, you're supposed to be happy, hmm?
I'm finally listening to you, my love.
Come on.
Okay, fine. I'll go.
- But
- What?
As long as it's a no-work holiday.
I don't even want to see your laptop.
Pinky promise?
Pinky promise.
- Fine.
- It's going to be brilliant.
We are going to KZN tomorrow morning.
- Road trip.
- Yoh.
I think these are the last ones, baby.
This weather
I know, right?
- What is it?
- You look beautiful, nana.
- You're hot. You're on fire.
- Mm-hmm. I'm on fire.
Look at you. Huh.
I love my holiday Jojo.
Yeah.
- Ey, ey, ey.
- We're going to the beach!
- Lily!
- We're going to the beach!
You're driving me crazy!
Neighbors. Noise.
Calm down, baby.
Can you just please put your pods in?
That sound is annoying.
Your face is annoying.
Weak comeback. What are you, eight?
Argh! Zamo!
- Give me my phone back. Hey!
- Come and get it.
Guys. Stop it.
- Give it back.
- Zamo! Junior!
If you guys don't stop, I'm gonna cut
your allowance. I promise you.
That's how you do it.
"That's how you do it."
Can I get a picture, fam?
That is a brilliant idea. And you must
send it to your mom. Right?
- Everybody, get in.
- Whoa.
Who said anything about everyone?
@Junestar rolls solo for the gram.
- Help?
- He's saying
- that he wants a picture alone.
- But he just said "fam"?
Never mind.
The lighting's not even great anyways.
He said "fam."
Doesn't "fam" mean family?
Geez!
Let's finish up.
What is he doing?
Baba, do you think that's a good idea?
Baby, we don't need those things.
Your dad is an expert driver.
Uh.
We are on our way.
Um, I need to pee.
Yoh. Lily, you had all the time
in the world to go to the toilet.
- Now, that we have to go
- But I didn't have to go then.
I have to go now.
Are you okay?
Baba.
That truck came out of nowhere.
But that was amazing! Again!
What?
Yeah, it's flat.
I'm calling Mom.
What? Why?
Baba, we've just become
a holiday road accident statistic.
Zamo, we don't need to call
your mom. You hear me?
This is part of
the old-school family holiday adventure.
We're stuck on the N3.
This is not an adventure.
It's a crime scene waiting to happen.
Um, does that mean that we're not going
to the beach anymore?
No! Baby, we have to be there tonight.
So I can work on my
mmm
work on my swing.
Golf swing.
- And since when have you been into golf?
- Ah, baby.
- I love Tiger Woods.
- You know this.
Name any other golfer.
Why don't we fix the tire, guys?
As a family. All of us.
I promise you, it's going to be fun.
Come. Let's do it together as a family.
I left the jack.
"We won't need it!"
"I'm an expert driver."
- Yeah.
- According to Google,
there's a petrol station
two kilometers away from here.
That can't be too bad, right?
Bad for what?
Whoa! Guys
Some help would be great.
Even if we get it out the ditch, Baba,
the tire still needs to be changed.
And you don't have
the equipment for that, do you?
But you heard what Nandi said.
Nandi said the garage is
two kilometers away from here.
We'll drive slowly.
Okay,
so would you rather stay here
or get to the garage and be safe?
Huh?
- Great. Come.
- Argh. Fine.
Let's go.
Junior!
- Come!
- But what about my content?
- Give it to your sister, man.
- She will film you.
Come. Yoh.
- Okay. This way.
- Yeah, man.
There. This is
No. Lily, are you...
Yoh. Okay.
Okay, let's go!
Step on it, Nandi!
That's what I'm talking about!
- You see? Teamwork makes the dream work.
- Ugh!
Okay. Let's get Pringles.
Fanta.
Oh, no.
- Did he see me?
- Who?
- Get down.
- Ow.
Zamo
- Zamo!
- Huh?
Themba.
So, are you also headed to Durban?
- Uh-huh.
- Oh, nah, nah. That's fire.
So, do you have any plans
of going to Beachfest?
- Cassper's gonna be headlining.
- Bet!
Bet?
I love Cassper.
Cool. That's dope.
So, tell me.
Where are you staying?
Maybe you and I can link up.
Bro. Themba, let's go.
Um, I have to bounce.
But catch you at Beachfest?
Front row, fam.
Oh.
"I love Cassper Nyovest."
- Huh?
- Mm-hmm.
Argh. Why do you have to be so loud?
- You like him.
- What?
- Yes.
- No!
I'd never pretend to be into an artist
for a guy. Mm-mmm.
Argh, let's just go.
Oh, my God.
Joseph?
Uh, Tyrone?
What the hell are you doing here?
Clearly the same thing as you.
I'm headed to the resort for the pitch.
But I decided to bring
my family along too.
They're actually gonna
be part of my pitch.
So you brought your family along
to use them in your pitch?
There's no better way to show them why
I'm the best man for the job, you know?
You being divorced and all
Might be hard for you to relate.
Tell me, how's your pitch coming along?
Great! I just need to do final touches.
Great! I'm almost done with mine.
- Great!
- Great!
Great.
You know, where's my manners?
Come meet my family.
Come.
Honey, it's Jojo from work.
Ty-Ty, where have you been?
I missed you.
I was only gone for a few seconds.
Argh, sorry, man, Jojo.
How rude of us.
Hmm.
Is everything okay?
Perfect.
It's just
Hey, hey.
You're a bit tense.
Okay.
My wife's a spiritual healer.
- Like a sangoma without the bones.
- Oh.
If you need a reading,
call me.
Okay.
- Jojo?
- Hey.
- Hey, my baby. My sweetheart.
- Oh.
Mmm.
What are you doing?
My sweet throat lozenge.
My umbrella on a sunny day.
My Kentucky Fried Chicken bone.
My lover, my life, my everything.
Tyrone.
Tyrone?
The one from work.
I talk about him all the time.
Hey, babe. The only guy you ever talk
about is a weird guy who annoys you.
That's my Nandi right there.
That's my wife.
She's a funny person.
She's a jokester, hey?
- Oh, the Tyrone.
- Yes.
- Not the other one from work.
- Yes.
Yeah, there's no other Tyrone at work.
Guys, we better get going, you know?
We left the kids unattended.
So, as responsible parents,
we're gonna go.
Okay, bye.
See you at the resort.
Don't worry, baby.
You've got this in the bag.
When Tyrone spoke
about the resort, what did he mean?
That's classic Tyrone.
That guy says a lot of things,
random things, that don't make sense.
The only person saying a lot of
random things that make no sense is you.
Ah, baby.
Why are we talking about him?
Aren't we supposed to be talking about
how wonderful and amazing this trip is?
Amazing, isn't it?
Why are you acting weird?
Weird? Me, weird?
These kids
Where are these kids?
These kids are really messing
with my time right now.
I don't know
Oh, there they are!
Oh, my children are back. Amazing!
Where's Lily?
I thought she was with you.
I left her with you at the till.
Uh.
Classic Lily.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Thando
Happy birthday to you
Hi, Joseph!
Meet my new friends. Look!
Her name's Thando,
her name's Siyamthanda, and her name's...
- We have to go.
- What?
I can't hear you.
Mmm.
Baba, Waze says you're 60 kilometers
over the speeding limit.
And with the spare wheel you are using
it's probably not wise to be speeding.
Zamo, tell Waze to mind its business.
I always win.
- Um Baba.
- What?
We're being pulled over!
Ja, you drive
as you like on the road?
Do you know what speed you were going?
Around 67 kilometers
over the speed limit.
You have some nerve.
Do you know "Arrive Alive"?
Thanks, Zamo.
Look now,
I have a 5,000 rand fine!
Um, I need to pee.
My man, 95, full tank.
- Go. You want to wee.
- Come, Lily.
Go.
- Guys, make it snappy, man.
- It's getting late.
Yoh.
Joseph, you made it.
You should really learn
to stick to the rules of the road.
Tyrone.
Especially since I see your daughter
is studying for her learner's.
I'm actually studying for my driver's.
I have my learner's.
You know, I taught my son
everything he knows.
Passed his driver's first time.
Chop, chop.
Well, my dad has no time
to teach me anything.
Oh, Joseph.
See that, huh?
Another Ngema jokester.
Yeah, no. She knows
that I always give her my car.
No, actually, my plan was using this trip,
you know, to further her driving skills.
- Oh.
- She's going to be driving
some of this route.
- I am?
- Yes.
Surprise.
I always surprise my kids.
Nandi, it's so good to see you again.
Joseph was just telling me
how he loves to let your daughter drive.
Uh, Baba, it's illegal to have passengers
in the vehicle with me as a learner.
Yeah, also, won't we need a I sign
at the back of the car?
Oh, wait. We just have to look
at your face and people will know.
Junior.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Baby?
What the hell did I just miss?
Honey, it's the Ngemas.
They made it.
Um, guys?
What's with the creepy family
staring at us?
I'd also love to know.
Zamo, you know how to drive, right?
Yes, I've been taking lessons all year.
Just take the car
out of the garage, you know.
I'll take over driving
once we're around the corner.
They won't see.
No. I've got this.
Seat belts, everyone.
Okay.
Checks.
Nomzamo. Let's go.
You know,
my mother taught me how to drive.
She used to say, "Close your eyes,
imagine the destination."
And everything will fall into place."
That sounds like terrible advice.
Okay.
Go.
Slow. Almost there.
Turn. Keep turning.
Oh, my gosh. Are we even moving?
Argh, shut up, Junior.
Safety first.
Wait! Where's Lily?
Eish. I'll go look for her.
- Next time, I'll let you wet yourself.
- I'm telling you right now.
We're never gonna get to the beach.
You know what?
Somebody must record Zamo driving.
And we'll send a video to your mom
so that she can see
how exciting this trip is.
- Who wants to do it?
- Yeah.
- No. Don't stress. I will do it.
- Nandi?
Ah, that's my boy.
Junior, thank you very much. Hmm.
Hey, Zamo's followers.
Your girl is literally driving,
and she is the worst driver.
- Just look at her.
- What are you doing?
We're live, baby!
- Give me back my phone, Junior!
- Hey.
Someone just take my phone, please.
Junior, please give the phone
back to your sister.
- No.
- Just give it back!
Give it back to me then. Please.
- Junior.
- Just give it back, Junior!
- Give it here, man.
- No!
No joking, man.
She's driving, man.
I hate you! Give it back!
- Guys!
- Hey!
- Guys!
- Why aren't you doing anything, Joseph?
Why are you not looking at the road?
- Zamo!
- Hey.
- Zamo.
- Junior.
Give my phone!
- Give it to me.
- Guys!
Give my phone.
- Guys?
- Give my phone. Give it!
- You guys?
- We'll take you to the toilet. It's okay.
The car's driving away.
No. My phone.
My laptop.
My flamingo!
My wigs.
My phone.
I'm definitely gonna fail my driver's.
Oh, my wigs.
Yes!
Baba?
- It's Mom.
- Don't answer.
No. It's gonna make her suspicious.
Please answer. Answer it, babe.
Okay.
Dora. How are you?
Come on, Joseph.
Why are you answering Zamo's phone?
No. Zamo is not here.
- I mean, she's having fun.
- She can't come to the phone now.
Pass the phone.
Pass the phone to the kids.
They are swimming, Dora.
- Swimming?
- Can you hear the water?
It's a bright,
beautiful, sunny day.
The kids are just having so much
Was that thunder?
Dora? Hello?
- Can't hear you Dora Hello?
- Joseph. Give Zamo the phone. Joseph!
Don't be weak, man.
Apply more pressure.
Ma'am, that's the hardest I can go.
No, man! Apply more pressure!
What now?
Let's just see if we can get help
from the old couple at the house.
- Go!
- I'll sort out everything.
I will take care of the bags.
- Are you kidding?
- Let's go.
Come on.
Please.
Please, man.
Yay!
Hallelujah!
I've got a unicorn.
Thank you so much for my unicorn.
- I've got a unicorn.
- Yay! My family's back.
Oh, guys, you're looking good.
Nice and dry, and colorful.
And what's that?
That was to make up for the flamingo.
That's my baby.
You know, that's why I married you.
You are so nice, man.
You have a nice spirit.
And speaking about people
with nice spirits,
our insurance is sending us a tow truck.
They said that they can only give us
another car tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Where the hell are we gonna sleep?
Baby, I tried phoning around,
and all the places are fully booked.
What do you expect, Baba?
It's school holidays.
And I miss my mommy.
I can't believe I'm about to say this,
but me too.
- Joseph, this was a terrible idea.
- Can we please go home?
Finally, something we both can agree on.
No. No, baby.
Why?
We are Ngemas!
Ngemas don't give up.
The ten-year-old Joseph would have said
"Ngemas don't give up."
Ten-year-old Joseph is the worst.
Joseph
Ngema.
Yes?
Where's the car?
Yoh, babe.
We don't even have a place to sleep.
Mmm.
Don't worry.
There is a B&B that I know.
And it's a very nice B&B, sir.
- Do you have their number?
- I'll do better than that.
I'll can take you there.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Can you take us to Durban?
- No need to go to Durban.
It's very far, my man,
and I'm running late.
You will love the B&B I am talking about.
It's a very top-notch B&B, sir.
When you see it,
you'll like it and be in a better mood.
Let's go.
Babe, uh-uh.
Let's go.
Baba.
We can't just ask for lifts
from strangers.
- But he is not a stranger.
- The insurance sent him.
Baba, I swear, if I die today...
It'd be a welcome blessing.
- Junior.
- Ow.
Let's go. Come.
Nandi.
Come. Lily, thank you, my love.
Zamo.
- Zamo!
- Hmm?
- Fine.
- Thank you.
Hey, my man.
Didn't you say it was a B&B?
No, man.
Use your eyes.
Here is the B&B right in front of you.
You know what?
My mother runs what we call
a 17-stars, top hotel in this area.
So your mother runs this one?
Yes, my mother. They call her Ma Rosie.
Hey!
- Hello.
- Welcome to Ma Rosie's B&B.
Tell me this is a joke, my man.
'Cause when I was speaking to you, I said
I'm looking for a B&B,
but it should be in town, not here.
I can't do that because there are others
that I need to go and help.
- See what you can do, Ma.
- All right, Son.
Hmm.
My rooms are fully booked.
But we have one last room left
and it's a family room.
You are lucky!
Come. Follow me.
Don't worry about your luggage.
We have boys who can help.
You know,
my mum and I used to share a bed.
Why?
We used to live in a backroom.
It was cramped.
Just like this one.
Well, Pops, did it suck as much as this?
No.
She seemed to make it fun all the time.
How?
- Move.
- Hmm?
- Come, move.
- I'm asking you. Please.
Can you just do what I say
without having to question me for once.
Please.
Nandi, I'm talking to you.
- Please, Zamo, come.
- Junior, Lily. Come.
- Let's go. Get up.
- What is up with this guy?
I'm gonna show you this, okay?
This is how
Yep!
Yep! Come on, Lily. Nice.
Yeah!
You guys are gonna break the bed.
Zamo, you sound just like Mom.
Come on, Zamo. Come.
- Zamo, man. Live a little.
- Have fun!
Baby girl, come.
Junior! Yay! Zamo, come on now.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I am not looking for excuses.
I'm looking for a car.
I am desperate.
That is why I pay insurance every month
so that I can get a car when I need it!
I don't care.
Make a plan!
Are things not working out?
They say they'll give me a car
in a few hours.
That won't work.
I have to be in Durban before evening.
I think this whole trip
has been a mistake.
- I have a car.
- I can give it to you.
Would all of us fit in it?
Including our luggage? All of us?
So perfectly.
The only thing is
that you must bring it back
in the same condition as you found it.
- Yeah.
- Hmm?
Because if you fail to do that
heads will roll.
I will look for you
every which way, in every nook and cranny,
and I will find you. Mmm.
Understood?
- I will bring it back.
- In one piece.
- I promise.
- Good.
Oh.
- My cell phone?
- Oh. Thank you.
Is this the car?
My pride and joy.
Is there no other car?
Didn't you say you need to be in Durban?
Yes. Where are the keys?
Follow me.
This car does not have any keys.
But there is a special way that I want you
to start the engine, you hear me?
Come. Let me show you.
Put these wires together like this.
Is this our car?
Do you see how beautiful it is?
- You see it?
- Ma Rosie.
Tell me. Is this car safe?
Very safe. No, everything...
- Whoa.
- No. Be careful.
The door has its own problems.
But you can get in.
I'll close it properly once you're inside.
My boys, bring the luggage.
Get inside.
Make sure that you all get out
through the front.
Even those at the back,
they must jump over and use...
- Whoa.
- Baby, be careful.
Be Please.
- Should I get in, baby?
- Yes.
- Let me hold this.
- Okay.
Put another bag there.
- Pull it, baby.
- Pack it in the back.
Oh, I put your cell phones in some rice,
as you had requested.
Oh, yes. The phones.
Only one of them won't turn on.
Bring it here.
It's my phone
that isn't working, baby.
Huh?
We'll share mine. We'll share.
No, no. Okay.
Okay, everybody must tell Dora
that everything is fine.
The resort is lovely.
It's beautiful here.
Please, I'm begging you.
Please. Right?
Okay, thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
It looks like someone is missing.
Lily.
Eish.
Lily.
- We have to go.
- But the beach is right there.
We could even have
our beach day right now.
Baby, I know, but we're on
a very tight, tight schedule.
But you promised, Joseph.
Yes, I did.
And I promise,
as soon as we get to the hotel,
we're gonna go straight to the beach.
Like my Facebook page!
- Baby, we should stop.
- Huh?
We should stop. Stop.
No. We have to get to the hotel, baby.
This is more important, babe.
It's more important. Look.
Look.
Okay! Fine!
- Fine?
- Five minutes only.
- Yes!
- Go. Let's go!
Let's turn back.
We're going to the beach!
- We're going to the beach!
- We're going to the beach!
Okay. There's the beach.
Now we can go to the hotel.
Let's run!
Hey! Hey, guys! Hey!
We have to go to the hotel, man!
We need to check in!
No, you guys. Hey!
Nandi!
Lily!
- Lily!
- Whoo!
Hey!
Hey, Lily!
Hey!
Hey, man!
You guys!
Guys!
- I'm serious, man.
- Come on, stop it! We must go!
Wow.
You know, you guys, you have it good.
You see, I promised
the ten-year-old Joseph
that I was going to break
the generational poverty curse.
Look at us now, baby. Look at us.
Wherever my mom is,
she's proud of me.
Tell me, Baba.
You really believe that
you're the father of the year, don't you?
You see your problem?
You kids who were born in the 2000s,
you're not grateful, man.
Okay.
What am I studying next year?
Accounting.
No!
No, no. Medicine, right?
And you know what?
You'll be a very good doctor.
Baba, the swimming lessons,
driving lessons, cell phones
and random holidays are nice.
But I would prefer for a dad
who actually cared about my life.
It's civil engineering, by the way.
That was going to be my next guess.
Look at what me and Auntie Nandi found.
That is so nice. Let me see.
Aw. Very, very cute.
That's for me. This one is for me.
Zamo, please pass my phone.
Let's take a picture. Everybody, get in.
Oh, you wanna take a picture with us?
- All of us?
- Even me?
Calm down.
It's only going on my story for 24 hours.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Everybody, get in.
Come in. Let's do it.
Let's take this picture.
Beautiful.
- Nice one.
- Can we get some ice cream?
Of course. Of course we can.
Please take your sister with you.
Let's go get some ice cream!
Don't forget about us.
Get us some, please.
- Please.
- Please.
- Yes!
- Yay.
- Let's go get some ice cream.
- Yeah!
I want vanilla.
Whoa!
I think we finally won them over.
- I told you.
- Patience, baby. Patience.
No, babe.
- No, baby.
- Babe.
- No. Can we please not use our phones.
- Look. Listen, my baby.
- It's Dora.
- So why would you answer her call?
But Dora
She wants an update on her kids.
I can't be fighting Dora, man.
Let me finish.
Please let me speak to her.
- Babe.
- I'm sorry, baby. I'm coming.
- Hi, Dora.
- Dora?
Sorry.
- Sorry, my bra.
- What are you on about?
I don't know. My caller ID reads you
as my ex-wife, for some reason.
Whatever. Listen,
can you e-mail me your presentation
before we meet up tonight for notes?
Sure. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- As in now!
- Yes, now.
- Now.
- Yes.
- I just need to get online.
I don't care. Now.
- Now.
- Yes.
Where is this thing?
Where did I put it, man?
Come on.
Hey, man. It's not here.
- Baby.
- Hey, babe.
Please. Call an Uber, go to
the hotel with the kids and check in.
I have to go back to Ma Rosie's place.
Why?
I've forgotten something. It's important.
What did you forget?
I checked the room before leaving.
Nana, I put it under the mattress.
What's under the mattress?
Joseph?
- Joseph!
- Huh?
It's a laptop, baby.
A laptop?
Joseph, you pinky-promised.
I know.
I know, baby.
Please, let's not do this now.
Everything is at stake here.
Just admit it.
You don't love us.
What you really love is your job.
You haven't come for the children
or the holiday.
I brought my kids here
because I love them
and I want to be with them.
I'm going to lose my job, baby.
So I need that laptop
because I've got a pitch tomorrow.
A pitch?
I didn't have a choice.
I'd choose my weekend with the kids.
- Guys.
- What?
We can't find Lily.
Where is Lily?
Lily!
- Come. Let's go.
- Come this side.
Lily!
Lily!
Lily! Move! Move!
Lily!
Lily, we have to go!
Help me! He's taking my child!
- Help!
- No, ma'am! It's a mistake!
Wait a minute.
You're wicked!
You're wicked!
What are you doing?
- Let's go.
- Please, sir. This is a mistake.
This is all a mistake.
- I've heard that story before.
- I can explain. This is all a mistake.
- How many times have I heard this story?
- I know.
- I know that.
- Tomorrow when you meet the magistrate,
tell him all of that. Let's go.
- Tomorrow?
- Close this gate.
Hey, today is Sunday.
Those people come in tomorrow.
Tomorrow is too late!
- What does that have to do with me?
- Can I have my phone call then? Please!
You're becoming a problem! Open.
- My wife and kids are all...
- Get out!
Let's go.
Hey!
Wake up, man.
Make your phone call.
Her phone isn't working.
Brother, can I ask you for a favor?
Please hand me my cell phone
so I can call my kids.
You see, now you're making
your problems mine.
You're wasting my time.
Hmm.
Hello, Maureen.
It's Joseph here.
Yes. Tyrone's coll friend.
Tyrone's best friend.
Could I please speak to Ty-Ty?
Please?
- Yes, I'd like to report a missing child.
- Her name is Silindile Ngema.
She's eight years old.
She got lost at the beach. When
we looked for her, we couldn't find her.
She's got a weak bladder, so we...
Hi, guys!
Hold on, Lily. Nandi's on the phone.
Huh?
Oh, my God.
Lily, we were worried.
I was by the aquarium,
and I saw sharks and I saw fishies.
And surprisingly enough,
there were no mermaids.
Where's Joseph?
- That one is probably at Ma Rosie's.
- Why?
You've got some catching up to do.
Okay.
Hi.
Um, sorry,
I reported a missing child here.
Silindile Ngema, but we've found her.
No one answered the phone,
so I came to explain.
He wasn't lying.
Uh, sister, you see your husband
No, no, no.
He talks a lot.
- My husband?
- Nandi?
- No ways. Tyrone?
- Ah. Great.
You are here. This means
I don't have to bail him out.
Huh?
What? What are you saying?
Joseph said
he got "wrongfully arrested."
And he decided to call you?
Hey, I'm glad you're here though.
Yeah, I was so scared I was gonna run late
for tonight's meeting.
Mmm. Hopefully he can still make it.
Or not.
Anyways, aweh.
Chief.
Hey, ma'am.
Please write a statement in detail
and tell me what happened to this child
so that I can let this guy go.
He didn't call us though.
- I don't understand.
- He was thinking of his meeting,
- not his child. So let him sleep here.
- No ways.
In fact, he must sleep in this jail.
- Unbelievable.
- Let him sleep here.
You see what I always say
about people from Joburg.
These people are a nuisance. Yoh!
Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Good bye.
Okay, I managed to get us
a flight out tomorrow.
Do we have to go home?
This is not even a real holiday.
He chose his work over us.
He always chooses his work over us.
She really just
left you to rot in here.
I'm talking about your wife, man.
My wife was here?
Yes, she came here to tell us
that she found your missing child.
Oh, thank God.
You told her that I'm here, right?
Well, the problem started when she
bumped into the Coloured man here.
She just turned around and left.
- She left?
- Yes.
How?
You told her
that I tried to call her, right?
And that I didn't sleep a wink,
thinking only about her and my kids?
You told her, right?
- Hey, hey. What you are doing?
- Did you tell her I love her?
I'm a useless man.
- I'm going to lose my job. And my kids.
- Hey, you, Fatty Boom Boom.
Get out of here.
- Hey, big guy, remove this fatty.
- Hey!
Get rid of this person!
You're taking too long, man!
You see what you're doing?
You're making people disrespect me.
- Get out. They're disrespecting me.
- He's disturbing us.
- I'll deal with you.
- No, you guys are dating!
What are you doing
touching a police officer?
- What is wrong with you Joburg people?
- Get out!
- I've warned you.
- Bye-bye.
Hey, man.
Please, man. Please give me a ride.
I have many problems.
No, man, run.
Hurry, man! I have to go. Hurry!
Whoa!
Thank you.
- Okay, we're leaving, guys.
- It's home time.
Seriously? What are the chances?
Get down before he sees us.
Come!
What?
- Who's that?
- Her crush.
Shut up, Junior.
Go talk to him.
- And say what?
- Just be yourself.
I would not advise that.
Don't listen to him.
You're perfect the way you are.
Just go.
Go.
Go.
Hey, Themba.
Zamo?
Are you stalking me?
What? No.
I'm here with my family,
and I thought I would come say hi,
but I totally understand
if you feel like I'm stalking you.
- That was not my intention at all.
- Yo. Chill. I was playing with you.
Oh.
This is why she shouldn't be herself.
So, do you wanna roll with us
to the Beachfest?
Uh
Nandi.
Hi, it is you. Come here.
Come here.
- Can you believe it?
- Mm-mmm.
One of our husbands is gonna be
without a job today.
I can't believe
it's come down to this, hey?
I mean, Ty-Ty and your Jojo
have always been so
A team, hey?
- Oh, shame, man.
- Maureen.
When you say one of
our husbands is gonna be out of a job,
what do you mean?
The pitch.
That's why we're all here, Nandi.
- Oh, God. He wasn't lying.
- Um
What-What time's the pitch again?
Two hours and counting!
Oh, I should get going.
Tyrone has our entire family
as a part of the pitch.
Oh, I'm so excited
and so proud of him.
May the best family win.
- Break a leg.
- Break a leg.
We have a problem.
Can I go to this festival?
I know we have a flight to catch,
but maybe we can leave later?
Can we have a family meeting real quick?
- What?
- Can we have a family meeting real quick?
Please.
- I'll be right back.
- Sure.
What?
What is it?
- What?
- So, your dad
I thought he was making up excuses
but it looks like he's gonna lose his job.
I'm sure Joseph has a plan.
He'll never miss work.
I'm not so sure.
Why?
He's in jail.
Hmm?
Look, I was gonna bail him out today,
it's just that I was so upset last night.
Uh
It's my mom.
Mom.
What did you do?
It's Mom.
Give me the phone.
Great. Now
she's definitely gonna hunt us down.
Uh I have an idea.
But we need a car. We
Oh, I'd never drive that piece of trash.
Is the family meeting over?
We really need to bounce.
I can't believe I'm about to do this.
But there's a family emergency
and I really need to sort it out.
Maybe we can link up back in Joburg.
Only when I'm on study break, of course.
Yeah, sure.
But I'll hold you down to it.
Okay
Hi, your cars are ready
to take you to the airport.
I got an idea. Ah
Can we please use one of your cars?
Just for a few minutes.
We'll bring it right back.
No. I could get fired.
How about now?
Bring it back in an hour.
Zamo, catch.
You're sure you want me to drive
after what happened?
It's the only way to learn. Come.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Close your eyes, imagine the destination,
and everything will fall into place.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye!
So, you're saying
they've checked out?
The lady said
they're rushing to the airport.
- Did they say what time the flight is?
- They didn't.
Eish, and their phones are off.
- No, brother, that's my charger.
- Put it to my room.
People from Joburg, my God.
Argh!
Aah! Yes!
Yes.
- Oh, no. Not the cops again.
- Oh, no!
Mmm.
Okay.
This way, sir.
Geez.
I-It's not what you think.
- I'm in a rush.
- There's a family emergency.
Do you know who I am?
Yes, you are
a respectable traffic officer.
No.
I'm the officer that's gone viral
on social media.
The one directing traffic while dancing.
That's me.
Uh, oh.
- Yes, that's me.
- Social media, right?
Yes.
Yes, over half a million views.
More or less.
So, you're the one on Instagram
and the "clock clock" app, like that?
I'm everywhere, my man.
Please lend me your phone, my sister.
I beg you.
My phone is dead. It's very important.
My kids are at the airport right now.
They are leaving.
And if they get on that flight, I will
never see them again. I'm begging you.
- Did they kidnap them?
- No, they left with their stepmother.
Yoh!
You know, on the topic of second wives
They are such a nuisance.
I know this
because I am a second wife myself.
You know what? Wait a minute.
- Take this. Yes.
- It's unlocked, right?
Hey, ma'am. How does thing work?
- Press the button. Press there.
- Which one?
- This button. Yes.
- Press here? Junior.
Don't get on that flight, please.
I beg you. I'm coming.
Yes. Let's go, sir.
- Let's go.
- No, no, no.
I won't let you drive this wreck.
It doesn't even have a door.
I should fine you.
Let's go!
It's going down.
Hurry up.
Is it Mom again?
You know the famous officer that dances?
Which one?
The one that does the Tobetsa?
Is this really the time, guys?
- She just slid into my DMs.
- Huh?
Junior.
Don't get on that flight,
please. I beg you. I'm coming.
- Uh, play it again.
- Okay.
Ma Rosie's taxi. Look!
Call him.
Joseph Ngema here.
I'm unavailable. Please leave a message.
DM the traffic officer and tell your dad
to get back to the hotel now.
Don't worry, you hear me?
Don't worry. I will find your children.
You see, your wife
- I will arrest her. She doesn't know me.
- No. But she
she's not like that, sister.
Sister, seriously?
My phone.
No, my sister. The steering wheel.
It's a message from your child.
- Please hold the steering wheel.
- Look.
Whoa.
Pops, get back to the hotel
right now. I repeat:
If you get this message, rush back.
It's an emergency.
Don't kill us!
Murder?
- No. No.
- It's not murder!
I didn't realize how serious this is.
No. I'm requesting backup.
- Come in, Officer. Do you copy?
- There's no need.
No.
I know that you have lost faith
in the SAPS.
But I'm here.
Nomzamo, Junior, Silindile Ngema.
Hey, Mom.
When did you get here?
I took the first flight
out of Johannesburg
as soon as I sensed
that something was wrong.
Wrong?
Wrong? Nothing Nothing is wrong.
Hey. Here, there.
What's happened to the child's eye?
Uh, she had an allergic reaction
to the face painting.
- Mrs. Ngema.
- Yes.
Oh.
Where the hell is he?
I
You know what? Never mind.
His career is pretty much over in any way.
This was a work trip?
Uh
- No.
- No, Mom. We can explain.
There's no such thing.
Let's go. Come.
No, Mom.
Let's go!
Wait.
Everybo
Everybody
Everybody, freeze!
No, no, no.
Man, it's you again?
Guys, I'm sorry.
Oh
You can still do it, babe.
Not only do you lie to me,
but you're
teaching my children to lie to me.
You know what?
I'm calling my lawyer. I'm sick of you.
- What exactly are you doing here?
- How can you ask me what I'm doing here?
How could you ask that question?
I'm here to save my kids.
'Cause you always screw up.
Congratulations, Dora.
- You're right.
- I did screw up.
I've been screwing up for years.
But I know what
the young Joseph would say right now.
- Mm-mmm.
- Baby, this is really not the time.
He'd be sad of what I've become.
Then why didn't you
just tell us the truth?
Sorry, baby. I'm sorry.
I was trying to fix things.
I didn't want you guys to think
that I cannot provide for you.
I don't want your money, Joseph.
I want you. I want our family.
I want family.
Seriously?
What the hell is going on here?
Mr. van Niekerk,
I'm very sorry.
But I'm not your man.
Tyrone may be weird,
but he knows way more
about family than I do.
I'm sure that it's time
for you to take me in
for wasting the police's resources.
It's time for you all
to disappear from Durban.
Johannesburg is calling you.
All of you should leave.
What are you doing?
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is how you win a pitch.
Don't you see it?
All the theatrics and endearing speech.
He even got the famous dancing cop
from social media.
You know what?
I agree with Zamo.
Me and my fam have been through the most,
and we're still here, together.
I have all the proof on my phone.
And this has been the best holiday
with my baba, and I love him very much.
Aw, baby.
I mean, what lengths isn't this man
willing to go through for his family?
Yeah.
Just like toilet paper in your home,
your family will always
come through for you.
Even in the most crappiest situations.
That's why you must keep it rolling
with Roll With It.
Because family will always
come through for you.
And that is my pitch.
What do you think?
Brilliant!
Roll With It toilet paper.
Because family always
comes through for you.
A new slogan and campaign.
Congrats, you got the job.
I knew our toilet paper dance routine
would be too much.
I knew it was a setup all along.
No. Whoa.
- I can't do it.
- Baby?
I've missed so much time with my kids.
And I can't do it anymore.
I mean, my daughter,
she's going to be a civil engineer.
My son is turning 12.
I'm 13.
Yes.
And my little daughter here,
we have to get her bladder checked.
Dora,
I'm sorry I lied.
But all I wanted was a chance, you know?
Just to get better at this dad thing.
And I hope
you won't call your lawyers.
I think you have things under control.
No, no, no.
Joseph,
what if you worked in your own hours?
Well, it's a lot. I can't do it alone.
I'll need Tyrone.
Well, we'll follow your lead.
I thought you said that you're downsizing.
To be honest,
we'll probably just get rid of John.
Nobody likes the guy.
So, do we have a deal?
Yeah!
- Yes, we have a deal.
- Yes!
Come on. Bring it in.
In three, two, one
Ngema!
- Are you listening? Okay? Okay, let's go.
- Yeah.
- Oh
- Oh, baby
- You got that?
- Okay.
Oh, baby
Hey.
Baby.
Baby,
I think I'm ready.
Ready for what?
For a baby.
- Baby?
- A baby!
- Baby?
- A baby!
A baby?
Baba.
Baba, I really need to pee.
Baba?
- Baba?
- Joseph?
- Joseph?
- Baba?
Baba?
- Joseph?
- Baba?
Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Baba?
- Dad?
- Joseph?
- Baba!
- What's poppin', Instagram?
- I wanna listen to Wait.
You know what?
Why don't we just fix the tire?
All of us as a family.
Oh, my God.
Whoo!
Junior! Please!
- What about my content?
- Argh.
- Give it to your sister.
- She will film it, man!
Oh, my God, guys.
This is the Junior takeover, fam.
