How to Ruin Love (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Zoleka. And now?
What's going on?
So you beg me to stand up to my family
and marry you and then you don't show up?
It's not like you actually want to
build a future with me anyway.
Do you not see me?
Am I not standing here?
What more do you want from me?
The bank approved your withdrawal
from our joint savings account.
I got the text.
- [sighs]
- So, congratulations. You're a free man.
It's not what you think, Zoleka.
[thunder rumbling]
Two days.
Two days, Kagiso,
was all it took for you to run back
and go tell your ex-girlfriend
all our secrets.
And for you to take out money
from our joint account.
And all the while I'm here
trying to make things right for us.
I was trying to use
that money to help my family
- so they don't get evicted.
- [scoffs]
They were about to be evicted.
[gasps]
- Why didn't you just tell me?
- I was going to.
But also you
You never get it.
You don't know what it's like
to worry about money.
- Your dad pays for your whole life.
- Oh, come on! I work hard.
It's nice. But it's different for you.
My family, they need me.
And I was gonna tell you
if you had taken the time
to pull me aside and ask me about it.
Instead of leaving me by the altar.
Zoleka, you get these things in your head.
You act on them and you don't care
what hurt and destruction
you leave behind.
That's not true. I do care.
You flew to Durban on a suspicion.
And you hurt my whole family.
You hurt my whole career, all in one go.
And I apologized for that.
Surely, you can't still be mad about it.
I wasn't, actually.
But today?
I just I wanted to get married.
So that everything we've been through
this entire week,
all the shit we've been through
this whole week, wouldn't be for nothing.
- And it's not for nothing. Hey, I'm here
- No.
Baby, you're here.
We can still make it happen.
We can still have our little home.
And our little Phatudis running around.
And we can have our happy ending.
I can't see it anymore.
Everything that's happened
this entire week, it's like
It's made me think
this shouldn't be so hard.
What are you saying?
You don't want to marry me anymore?
Okay, I'm I made a stupid mistake.
And I'm going to apologize
to your family, okay?
- I can fix this.
- No, no, listen, listen. I
I don't think that's gonna work.
No more apologies. I'm tired.
I'm tired, Zoleka.
Don't say that, please.
Maybe our families
were right to try stop us.
You don't mean that.
- I love you.
- I know.
Look, I I love you too.
But maybe love is not enough.
Kagiso. Kagiso.
- [thunderclap]
- Kagiso.
Damn it, Zoleka! [sobs]
[crying]
- [Katlego] Gosh, this is so cheesy.
- [Sicelo] Hey Katlego, come on.
It's Valentine's Day today.
Get that in there.
- Okay.
- And there we go.
- [Sicelo] Now you can't leave me.
- [Katlego] Mm-hmm.
This is more romantic than
things like, um, "till death do us part."
- Is it? Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
I love you.
I love you too.
- Is it? Uh-huh.
- Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
Hey, I want all the details about
- the drama at your brother's wedding.
- [gasps]
There's not enough hours in the day
to tell you all that drama.
- Yoh. You don't want to know.
- Wait. Talk to me. What happened?
- So, she just left him at the altar?
- [chuckles]
I'll tell you everything later.
You like gossip, eh.
[baby coos]
- Hi. You look so beautiful together.
- Hey, how are you?
- Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Hi! Hi! Hi!
- Would you like a picture as a family?
- Yeah, yeah.
[Sicelo] She's so adorable.
Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go.
Aw. So cute.
- Look at that.
- [father] Oh, wow.
Thank you, man. That's a nice picture.
- It's a pleasure.
- So tell me, do you have any of your own?
Uh [stammers]
- Unfortunately not. No, no.
- That's a shame.
Being a father is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
Ah, okay. Cheers, guys.
- Thank you.
- You have a good day.
- [father] You too, man. Enjoy.
- Awesome.
- Cheers.
- [father] All right. Cheers.
Hey, baby.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I am.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, um, let's go eat, then.
Okay. Let me, uh, use the bathroom quick.
- Okay.
- All right.
When you're the queen bitch,
everyone wants your head.
My days were always numbered.
But who finally did it?
Who killed me? [sobs]
[Lethabo] Cut!
- [Thabo] What's happening?
- Relax. Let's go talk to her.
Hey.
So, we need more sexy queen bitch
and less sad bitch.
- [Thabo] Mmm.
- Um
It's just that I'm single
on Valentine's Day.
Which is also my third year anniversary.
I'm definitely a sad queen bitch.
I'm sorry.
It's just that my location pin
right now is hell.
- [claps hands]
- Use it.
Wait, did Did you just talk?
Thabiso's right. Use this pain
and move from sad bitch,
to the sexy killer bitch
everyone loves to hate.
- [Thabo] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, but
He just spoke.
I thought you had a medical condition.
- Zoleka, focus. Focus.
- [Lethabo] Look.
Right.
Three years of your life
in this relationship, gone.
And what do you have to show for it?
- Nothing?
- Exactly.
Alone on Valentine's Day. Look at you.
You're miserable.
And whose fault is that?
- His! I was supposed to be married by now.
- Mm-hmm. Yes.
- And he ruined everything.
- All of it.
- It's his fault.
- Now, would Babalwa stand for that?
Oh, hell no. She would give him
a piece of her mind.
Well, she'd first sleep with his brother.
Then give him the piece of her mind.
- That's right.
- Yeah. Yes.
Now I need you to channel all that anger,
and let's do this, yes?
- Yes. Yes.
- Yes?
- Okay. Okay.
- Yes!
- Just shoot it. Do your thing.
- Let's go for a take.
- Ladies.
- [vocal exercising]
- Okay. Here we go.
- [clears throat]
- All right, Zo. It's all you, girl.
- It's all his fault.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's all his fault. It's all his fault!
It is all his fault.
- What?
- Huh?
[Zoleka] It's all his fault!
I mean I'd be Mrs. Phatudi right now
if it wasn't for him.
Okay. Okay, lunch, everyone. Well
I guess we'll fix it in post.
Langa told us you didn't get married,
so I was wondering when
you're gonna find your way back home.
You know that you're
the whole reason why I'm not married.
I would have been a Phatudi right now.
Oh. How's that?
Zoleka, this is not one of
your wishy-washy stories
from your soapies that you love.
You ran away from your own wedding.
Dad, for my entire life
I only had one thought,
whenever I make any decision
about my life.
- "Zozo, don't hold the putter like that."
- [scoffs]
"Zozo, that's not how
the Dzanas do things."
"Zozo, marry Simphiwe. He's decent guy."
And that's why I kept Kagiso
away from you. Away from that voice.
- A necessary protector.
- I don't need your protection.
I need your support!
- And you have it!
- Where?
You stay in a house
that your dad pays for.
I don't care about any of your money.
- What about my career?
- [scoffs]
Do you even care?
Hey.
I'm not here for that.
I'm not here for you, either.
I'm here for Mom's things
and then you'll never see me again.
Zoleka.
Zozo.
Damn it.
SOWETO TOWERS
[giggles]
[Doreen] That's it. Aha. Take this.
Take, take, take, take, take.
Here with me,
I have last of your things. Okay.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
You're the one who chose
these people and this house.
Chose them over me.
Mom, we're all one family.
There's no us and them.
- [Papi] What are you doing here?
- Oh, my gosh.
And stop pretending that we are a family.
We've never been family.
- [Makgotso] I'm getting dressed, Uncle!
- Oh.
My child, I'm so, so sorry.
And you, Doreen.
If you are thinking of coming back here
with those workers, forget it.
You'll see what will happen.
No one is touching my house!
[scoffs] Your house?
- Yes, my house.
- Your house?
- My house.
- You're mad.
Have you forgotten I also grew up here?
You're know what your problem is?
You are bitter.
You're bitter because
I was our parents' favorite
so they left the house to me.
That's because they knew you were lazy.
You don't you disrespect me.
- Calling me lazy.
- Yes.
- How can you say that to me?
- You are lazy.
What's going on? Are you crazy?
- I'm fetching this family's life.
- Omphile
- Yes, you. You've
- No, darling.
This is my body and no means no.
You are so disrespectful.
- [Omphile] Uh-uh.
- [Papi] How can you say that I'm lazy?
- These kids just locked the door.
- What?
- No! Makgotso!
- Omphile, damn it. Open this door!
Uh-uh, Dad. Not until you guys are done
with this episode of Family Feud.
The moment you get out of there,
I swear you're gonna see the real me.
- Bye! No, Makgotso.
- Hey!
- Open this door!
- [Doreen] Mak Makgotso!
- [Papi] Are these kids crazy?
- [Doreen] You're gonna regret this! Hey!
[Martin] Mmm.
You took so long to get here.
- I don't know what to do about Zoleka.
- Brother.
- She doesn't listen.
- Brother.
You don't listen to me. This is what
happens when you don't listen.
But you're here now.
I called you, didn't I?
I want your advice.
So advise.
[door slams]
[straining]
And I even warned her about that damn bag.
Look at her struggling now.
I told her the suitcase is faulty,
but she won't listen.
- [Liswa] Hey, Zolo.
- What did I tell you about that bag?
The suitcase is faulty.
You need to hold it at an angle.
- You can't just drag it anyhow.
- You just can't help yourself, can you?
I know your father has a heart of stone,
but leaving like this
won't solve anything.
- [Zoleka] Spare me.
- Is that
This?
Yes, that's right. It's Mom's veil.
I'm not sure when I'm ever going to
get married, but I'm taking it.
- You can't leave with that.
- Excuse me?
- She can't leave with that.
- Watch me.
I'm taking it with me. What are you doing?
- Zoleka! Leave it!
- You're going to tear it.
[gasping]
If only you both listened to me,
your lives would be much easier.
Give me that.
[cries]
[sighs] How are we gonna get out of here?
When I catch Omphile, she's gonna get it.
Why don't you go check if
Makgotso has any Vaseline in there.
You know, only a crazy person
would do what you're doing right now.
[scoffs] Okay, fine.
[sighs]
[sighs]
I used to be able to fit
through these windows.
You're not ten anymore, Papi.
Hey.
[groans] Hey.
Do you remember this?
All I remember is getting a hell of
a hiding after you scratched it.
Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.
I'm the one who got the hiding.
I got the hiding because of you.
You scratched this table.
Remember the hiding we got
after you broke the bathroom window?
[laughs]
Our bums were so hot,
you could've fried an egg on them.
It was bad. I remember.
We used to be a team.
Until you got all that money from RAF.
- And I didn't recognize you anymore.
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
Money didn't change me, Papi.
Everything changed when Mom and Dad
gave you the keys to this house,
and I was expected
to just be happy over losing my home.
- This is your home.
- It's not my home!
You live here with your family.
You're in charge of the house.
And And not even once
did you come to me and say to me,
Uh, "Doreen, why don't you help me.
Let's take care of
our parents' house together."
You never did that.
And yes.
I gave the money to Khutso.
[sighs]
And she knew when I gave her the money
it was not to spite you.
It was because I didn't want us
to lose Mom and Dad's house.
Then have a say.
- [sighs]
- Even though you make things so difficult.
It's not easy to try and talk to you.
[sighs] Makgotso said the same thing.
There we go.
Look, my sister.
You want Makgotso to come back home,
and I want Khutso to come back home.
So, let's work together.
You and I could be stronger together.
And take care of our parents' house.
[sighs] Okay, Papi.
Maybe. Maybe.
As this will depend on
if you are still sane.
- [chuckles] Stop.
- You could get in that fancy car of yours,
go and fetch all your stuff,
- and come live right here with us.
- No. Stop it right there. Uh-uh.
You know I could never move away
from the solar panels.
There's no load-shedding.
I should've known.
You haven't changed one bit.
[both laughing]
Yeah. I can't believe
you still have this old thing?
When I was in school,
you were the only father
out of all of them
who sewed his daughter's name
onto a uniform.
The girl who used to make you cry.
What did she call me?
Uh, Satin Martin.
[chuckles]
She tried to make fun of my hero.
I did my best.
Yes, and for that I'm incredibly grateful,
but Dad, when we
You're the child I've always wanted
to have, maZo, not Simphiwe.
And even with the telenovela,
I'm proud of you.
You've never even watched the show.
Well, I I tried.
There's just too much fornication
in that show.
So about the what you said about Kagiso.
You were right.
I'm the one who messed
everything up. All on my own.
I just wanted to make things right.
You really love this boy, don't you?
A lot.
You know, sometimes maZo,
not every garment needs to go
through a sewing machine
for it to be fixed somehow.
Sometimes, all it needs is
a patient and gentle hand for it to mend.
- Come through, Satin Martin.
- [chuckles]
Bars.
[chuckles]
- [sniffs]
- Let's go.
- Go where?
- Let's go save your Valentine's Day.
- What?
- Come, let's go.
Wait, what?
No, man. Wait.
- Aren't the outfits a bit much?
- No, we look good.
We have to show up as the Dzanas.
So, let's commit. Hmm?
- [exhales deeply]
- Okay.
[vocalizing] Wa, wa, wa.
- [purrs]
- Ha
- Wow.
- I learned it from acting.
Oh.
[sighing]
Be nice.
[chuckles]
Hello, Mom.
Hello.
Hey. You look good, Mom.
Thank you for for letting us in.
- [Martin] This house is busy.
- Sit down. Please.
You humiliated my son. You.
All of you.
And I'm here because
I'd like to apologize for that.
I was only trying to protect my daughter.
Protecting her?
From who? Us?
The only thing we did
was love your daughter.
Yes, but it's only now that I understand.
My place is not to shield her
from the front
but rather stand behind her
in case she falls.
I appreciate your honesty.
[Zoleka] Thank you.
Thank you so much, Mom.
I'd like to officially introduce
Kagiso to my father.
You know, just to start over?
- Is he here?
- Mm-mmm.
Uh
We haven't heard from him
since the wedding.
Yes, we That was the last time I saw him.
[Katlego, Sicelo chattering]
[Katlego squealing]
Wait Wait a minute. And now?
What's going on?
I knew that you two
would get back together.
Aw! You look so adorable together.
[gasps]
Wait, no, Sicelo, don't tell me.
Katlego is pregnant. [chuckling]
- We're still trying.
- Uh-uh. We're not.
- Uh-uh. No, Mom. I'm not pregnant.
- [Zoleka] Sorry, everyone.
I really don't mean to interrupt,
but we're looking for Kagiso.
- Oh.
- [Zoleka] Yes, we don't know where he is.
Have you guys seen him?
Mm-mmm. The last time
I saw him, he was with Amo.
[Sicelo] Hmm.
Okay, I think I'm just gonna call Amo.
- [Sicelo whispers] We are still trying
- Mm-mmm.
[line ringing]
- [Amo] Hi, Zo.
- Hi, Amo.
Uh, Kagiso, is he with you?
Uh, about that
- Uh, he got arrested.
- What?
Uh
Wait. Uh How?
- When? Where is he?
- I don't even know which station he's at.
I got a text from him, but his phone
is off and I can't get hold of him.
[Khutso] What did he say?
Talk!
- Zoleka, stop staring. What did he say?
- Eish.
- Yeah, she does the TikTok dances, eh?
- Right?
- But she does it better than
- Whose car is this?
This is a nice car.
Makgotso!
Hey, Mom. Uh, Mom.
Listen, where's your dad?
Why is he not answering my calls?
So, about that. Dad
- Mom.
- Mom.
- [Khutso] Bring those keys.
- [door unlocks]
- Where are those kids?
- These kid, they don't respect elders.
- [Papi] Where are they?
- [Doreen] Hey!
You two. Come here!
- I'm gonna to deal with her.
- [Papi] Omphile!
What kind of children are they?
Hey! Why don't you respect your elders?
What's your problem?
And you locked us in there. Omphile!
What if I was diabetic
and I needed my insulin?
Dad, but you're not diabetic.
- And you? What do you want here?
- Papi, please.
We don't have time for that.
Kagiso has been arrested.
- [gasps]
- What?
We are actually just here to help.
Um, greetings.
[Martin] I actually put out a few calls
to captains that I know,
but they don't have
any Kagiso Phatudi booked yet.
- They are still looking.
- Wait, so this this It's real?
- [Papi] Oh, my child.
- Um.
Zoleka, Amo and Sicelo,
they're looking for him right now.
- I'm sure we're going to find him.
- [sighs]
Hey, you. Listen, here.
If anything happens to my brother,
it's all on you. Do you hear me?
- How is this all my fault?
- We're here because of you.
- Excuse me?
- Yes!
- Okay, okay.
- I'm also here for him!
- I'll remove that thing on your head.
- Baby.
- Let's focus on finding KG.
- Guys, here's Amo.
Uh, guys. It's bad.
- What it is it, Amo?
- [sighs]
This is the fifth
police station I've checked.
Kagiso isn't here.
Gosh, Mr. Colorful.
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
I found out this morning.
I didn't want to get my boy in trouble.
I'm not a snitch.
- Shit.
- What?
- My dad says he has no leads.
- [Amo] Oh, eish.
Okay, okay, okay.
If a judge can't help us,
then who can help us?
A minister.
- A minister?
- A minister?
- A minister. Let's go.
- What Minister?
- Let's go.
- We've been driving all morning.
[Amo] Yoh.
Yoh. My man.
- [Katlego] Ah, guys.
- Wow.
- [Sicelo] Now, this is living.
- Shh.
- This is living.
- This is where our tax money goes.
So, are you telling me that Minister Twala
is going to call out the Hawks
and the choppers?
He's gonna put them in the air
- to find KG?
- Oh, my word.
Guys, let's just calm down.
Everything will be all right.
Let's breathe, huh?
- [vocal exercising]
- [Sicelo] What
[Amo] Zo, Zo, Zo.
- I'm just prepping myself. Move, Amo.
- Mm-mmm.
Uh, hey guys.
Just give me two quick minutes.
- I just get some pics for the gram.
- [all] Amo, no!
- No.
- Hey, Sicelo.
- No.
- Just one.
[baby crying]
- [Beauty] Happy Valentine's!
- [Sbu] Happy Valentine's!
Oh!
Hello.
[Amo] Look at this.
- Move, Amo.
- [Beauty] Martha.
Hi. I am so sorry about this.
- [Sbu] What's up?
- Kagiso has been arrested.
- What?
- Yeah, he sent Amo a random text.
I mean your dad is a minister.
Um, maybe he can make some calls?
My dad is the Minister of Home Affairs,
he can barely keep the system online.
I don't think he can find anybody.
Yeah, you guys are better off
using Find My iPhone.
[Zoleka] Yeah, but his phone is off.
Okay, but what did
the message say exactly?
Um. Amo.
- Oh, wow.
- Oh, my God.
- Amo, please!
- That's your dad's favorite portrait.
- We're not here for that.
- Amo, please.
[Amo] Sorry, guys.
I was just updating my Instagram.
- One second.
- Give Sbu your phone.
- Show him the message.
- Oh, okay.
What does it say?
"It's bad, Amo. Please come to SAPS."
Hmm?
- No, that's not what it says.
- What?
No.
- [Amo stammers]
- "It's bad, Amo. Please come ASAP."
[Amo] What?
Wow. You idiot.
ASAP, as soon as possible.
- Here.
- Seriously?
[Beauty exclaiming]
Ah But I've told him before.
KG must learn to type full sentences.
How the hell should I know what
all these abbreviations stand for, guys?
Okay, this doesn't solve anything.
We still don't know where he is.
Sorry, guys.
It's just that Valentine's Day,
it's always been a curse for me. It's bad.
- This year, my friend KG is missing.
- [sighs]
Three years ago,
I got lost and ended up getting
in a huge accident.
Believe it or not,
I'm talking serious injuries.
I was even moving around like a robot.
- [Beauty] Oh, wow.
- [Sicelo grumbles]
[Amo] That's when KG
had to do my deliveries.
- That's the first time Kagiso and I met.
- [Sbu] Why were you driving in reverse?
[Katlego] I'm sure he was
- [Zoleka laughing] I'm so sorry for this.
- [Kagiso] No, it's okay.
- [panting]
- [thunder rumbling]
- [sighs]
- Oh, crap.
- Thank you. Do you need this?
- No, you're good. Keep that.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, you keep that.
Oh, okay.
I'm so glad that you didn't turn out
to be some weird serial killer
that lures men to their deaths.
- [chuckles]
- And then, I don't know,
sells their body parts
on the black market.
I'm the one who should be
the concerned party here.
I mean, I'm busy running around
the streets at night
with a guy I just met in Mzansi.
[chuckles] But then again,
at the rate my life is going,
maybe dying at the hands
of a jingle-singer on Valentine's Day
isn't such a bad thing.
That is, uh That's pretty dark.
Sorry. [chuckles]
Uh, life is kind of shit right now.
Maybe I should've just listened
to my bestie and find my happy place.
Do you have one?
A happy place.
When I was 11,
my parents took me to Durban. The beach.
I didn't know that my
- my mother was sick at the time
- Mmm.
or that she would die shortly after.
So, it was kind of
our last holiday together.
Oh, man. I remember.
I remember the hot beach sand
between my fingers
and my mother screaming
every time the water touched her feet.
The amount of ice cream my dad bought!
I was on a sugar rush
the entire day that day.
I guess that's why beaches
are so special to me.
[grunts] There she is.
Sorry, I was just admiring your smile.
It's It's gorgeous.
[chuckles] Look at me rambling.
Sorry, um, I'm sure you have
other deliveries to make.
And I'm here making you listen
to my sob stories.
You want to know the truth?
Even if you did turn out to be
some weird serial killer,
this would still be the best Valentine's
I've had in a long time.
- [chuckles]
- You know what? I
I think I've found my happy place.
I should come here every year.
[scoffs] On Valentine's Day?
Please, do not do that to your girlfriend.
[laughs]
I If she existed.
And your future girl?
Would she like that?
Will she?
[Sbu] So, what's the plan now, Zoleka?
Guys.
I think I might know where he is. Thanks.
Okay. Let's go.
- Okay. They-They're leaving.
- [Beauty] Uh
- [clears throat]
- [Katlego] Sorry.
- Sicelo, let's go. Leave the baby.
- Please take a picture.
- No, please.
- You don't want
- Let's go.
- Oh, okay.
- All right. Bye, guys.
- Okay.
[all] Bye.
- See you soon!
- [Sbu, Beauty] No.
They are way more chaotic
than we ever were.
Yes, they are.
[Amo] No way, here?
- Why would KG be here?
- Zoleka, like seriously, here?
- Guys, just look around.
- Where are they?
We are looking around.
- I only see balloons.
- We look crazy, you know.
- Just look around. He has to be here.
- Look where?
[Zoleka sighs]
Uh-uh, baby, stop.
- We're looking for Kagiso. Stop now!
- Zo, Zo, I don't get it.
Why on Earth
would he be hanging around here?
[Zoleka] He has to be here.
He likes to come here.
Then where is he?
Kagiso!
Hi.
- [sighs]
- [Katlego] Is that really him?
[Zoleka] See. I told you.
- But you can see he's not happy.
- [sighs]
What are you doing here? You were
meant to come and meet me last night.
- Alone.
- Uh Sorry, my brother.
There's just a few more of us.
Everyone is here.
[Khutso] Oh, my boy. Where were you?
Don't you ever make me
worry like that again.
Oh, really?
- Suddenly, you guys care about me.
- Hey! Kagiso, don't say that.
We care about you.
- When, Katlego?
- Every day.
Every day? People do as they please
in my house. My house.
Going in and out, having sex.
You don't care.
You ask me for money to pay your debts.
And you, you want iPhones and iPads
from me, not even a thank you. Nothing.
You only think of yourselves,
and what do I get in return?
My life becoming a viral nightmare
on social media?
Yeah, but that's just how it is
in this family, right?
[Papi] My child, you are wrong.
In this family,
we're always lifting each other up.
- Oh, really?
- [all] Yes.
And on whose shoulders
are you standing on?
All of you. Please tell me, Dad.
Okay, Kagiso. You're right.
Your family,
they can be self-involved.
- Hey!
- What did she say?
[stammers, in English] And they take
way more than what they need.
[Papi] Wait, wait. Wait a minute.
This girl had better not start
with her nonsense again.
And maybe you are a people pleaser
that needs to learn
how to say "no" sometimes.
And-And me? I-I don't think.
I just react,
and make bad situations worse.
What I'm trying to say is that
none of us are perfect.
But what I am sure of, Kagiso,
is that your family, they love you.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The love isn't perfect.
It's messy, like a bad stain
on a white wedding dress.
But at least you know it's there.
You know, sometimes people say
that love isn't enough,
but I call bullshit.
Love is-is a choice.
You choose to fight for it.
Even when it seems helpless.
Even when times get rough,
you fight for it.
You meet each other halfway.
You forgive one another.
And you remember what brought you together
in the first place.
And that's what makes love worth the risk.
Whenever I felt misunderstood
and [stammers]
and scared in the world, I was okay
because I knew that I had your love.
And your love was
the soft spot for me to land on,
no matter what.
I love you.
And I don't need a proposal,
and I don't need us to get married.
I just need you.
My happy place is wherever you are.
[sighs]
No.
- [Papi] Huh?
- [Kagiso stammers] Not like this.
- Wait, did he say no?
- He said no?
It's going to take more than words
to make this right.
- Okay. Wait.
- Come on.
- Baby, we can Can we just
- [Khutso] Kagiso!
- [Amo] Buddy.
- Kagiso!
[Amo] Wait, buddy.
It's okay.
Hello.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my word. This place
Thank you.
Uh
Uh, Mr. Dzana. How are you?
If only your head were on top
of a golf tee right now,
I'd swing so hard,
I would break it in half.
Sit down.
Don't stand in my house.
Sir, can I just explain myself?
I heard about everything that happened.
My child poured her heart out to you,
and in front of your parents, no less.
And what did you do?
I should've handled that differently,
but I did it to honor her
because I want things to be done
the right way this time.
And I could use your help.
[Papi] Don't worry, my son.
No, no, no. I hear you.
Don't worry.
We are with you.
Okay, my boy. Later then.
Kagiso is going to need our help.
What kind of help is that?
Mom! [squeals]
- You're back home?
- [Papi laughing]
- I am. [chuckles]
- [grunts]
- [all chuckling]
- [Omphile] Oh, my goodness.
[sighs] Today has been such a chaotic day.
But the words Zoleka was saying
had me thinking.
We need to forgive each other.
Meet each other somewhere,
somewhere in the middle.
[all laugh]
Papi.
You are my home.
And our family.
This is my happy place.
And that's all I'll ever need.
Thank you, Mom, because Dad's food
would've killed all of us. I swear.
- I was like, food poisoning.
- [all chuckling]
[Papi] Khutso, my love.
I didn't mean for things
to go quite as far as they did and
I'm really sorry.
Mr. Phatudi, you're a lucky man
because I know the shape of your heart.
But I have one condition.
You're really gonna have to stop smoking
because I don't wanna be a young widower.
[clears throat] All right, I'll quit.
[chuckles] You heard that, right?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- You heard that, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- And you, shoo.
- Mmm.
- [Papi] It's my moment.
- Okay.
[chuckles]
- I'm going.
- Khutso, my love.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Happy Valentine's Day, my love.
Happy Valentine's Day.
- I love you.
- [Omphile] Aw.
- [Omphile squealing]
- Stop it.
Okay, come in, Poodles. Come in.
Hello, everybody.
Come, put your stuff there.
[sighing] All right.
Attention.
Kagiso has reached out to me for help.
You all still have
your proposal outfits, right?
[knocking on door]
- [knocking continues]
- Okay.
Go away.

[clears throat]
Good evening, ma'am.
And happy Valentine's Day to you.
I'm here to deliver your order, um, but
But what?
Well, unfortunately, ma'am,
the payment portal for our card machine
seems to be down.
Hmm. That's unacceptable.
Fortunately, I did notice an ATM
around the corner from here.
So, perhaps you could come with me,
and we could withdraw
your payment from there.
I would suggest a change of attire though.
Something red?
What do you say, ma'am?
[sighs]
[sighs]
Um [grunts]
Maybe I was wrong to try
and force you to come home.
Maybe?
[sighs] Maybe I was wrong
not to tell you about school.
- [scoffs] Just a "maybe"?
- Like mother, like daughter.
Hey.
[sighs] Okay.
So?
Are you serious
about this whole Internet thing?
No.
[sighs]
Gosh.
I don't know what to do, Mom.
I don't know.
But I want to stay here
until I figure that out.
I know that's not what you want to hear,
but it's what I need to do.
Please, Mom.
Okay.
- [sighs]
- Fine.
[sighs] It's okay.
I'm your mother.
I love you. And you have to know that
I'll support you in anything you do.
Just remember, there's limitations.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
- I love you too, Mom.
- [scoffs]
- You and all your hats.
- [both laughing]
You're so silly.
I love you, my girl.
- [Kagiso] Careful.
- [Zoleka] Okay.
- [Kagiso] Your ankles are good?
- Uh, yeah.
Okay.
- [Zoleka] Baby.
- Baby, I got you.
Why am I'm sinking in? Like, I feel
like I'm digging into something.
- Yeah, you are. Hold on.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna spin you around slightly.
- No. Let's not do that.
- Just slightly. Steady.
- Yeah.
Okay.
[Zoleka sighs]
- [gasps]
- ["Nguwe" playing]
Um, babe?
[breathes shakily]
- It's almost like my
- Your happy place.
I mean, I tried my best
to get it as close as possible
to my original plan.
- Your original plan?
- Mm-hmm.

[laughs, in English] Okay, wait.
So you decided to bring Ntando
after I poured my heart out to you. I
I needed to fix things this time.
Not you.
So, I spoke to your dad and
I asked for his blessing.
Baby, today can never happen again.
Where I almost spent Valentine's Day
- without the person that completes me.
- [whimpers]
The person who refuses to give up on me.
[both chuckle]
I know the last few days have been
- insane.
- Yeah.
- Crazy.
- Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
But I was wrong.
You and the last three years
are worth fighting for
because our love is worth the risk.
- So, now I'm finally asking you
- [chuckles]
Zoleka Dzana, my forever happy place.
- Do you want to marry me? Yes?
- Yes. Yes.
[both laughing]
Oh, my gosh, baby.
[chuckles]
[squeals, laughs]
[laughing] Oh, my gosh.
[cheering]
- [gasps]
- [all cheering, laughing]
[ululating]
[Amo exclaims] Finally.
- [Amo] Looks nice!
- [chattering, laughing]
- My man! Finally!
- Finally, boy.
[Papi] Perfect!
- Welcome to the family, Son.
- Thank you, sir.
[chuckling]
- [Amo] Everyone!
- Yes.
Hey. Let's get drunk, man!
- [all cheering]
- ["Weekend Special" playing]
- Oh, glasses!
- Watch it!
Whoo!
Please, what are you doing?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey. [stammers] What's wrong?
Are you okay?
That family we saw at Little Paris.
Beauty, Sbu and Prince.
That's what you want.
Now listen, baby
Sicelo, I've been so angry at you
for wanting me to give up things,
to sacrifice what I want,
but you're losing what you want.
We can't keep pretending that we're happy
and everything is fine between us.
[Sicelo stammers] We'll get over this.
- No.
- Huh?
You can't give up
on having a child because of me.
[Sicelo grunts]
So, um
[grunts]
So I guess it's time to exit
the family WhatsApp group.
- Let me go.
- Okay, go to her.
[Katlego] Don't, Mom.
I'm begging you, don't.
Okay, my baby. It's okay, my child.
- You finally got your girl.
- Mm-hmm.
- Nice, man.
- Thanks, man.
So now we wait for the cooling off period
to end, and we can sell your app.
That delivery app is mine.
I'm not selling it.
- For real?
- Yeah.
I'll wait the six months.
I've got savings.
And I'll use that time
to work on expanding my brand.
- I'll make myself a millionaire.
- Mmm.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I can live with that. Yeah. Nice.
You know, sometimes
they do their own thing.
The best we can do is just support them.
- I've got it, Zolkie! I've got it.
- What is it?
- Another show, Uncle? Okay.
- Yes, ma'am!
- Two families
- Yeah?
come together for a Christmas wedding.
But Now, here's the greatest part
It's ruined by a black sheep
in the family.
Yeah?
- That could actually work.
- I think you're onto something.
- Nah, guys. It's a lame idea.
- Bad idea. Not gonna work. Sorry.
- Sorry, Uncle.
- They don't They don't see the vision.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- They don't
- Yeah, they don't see the vision.
- Next time, right?
- Uh Uncle.
[giggles]
Look at that.
Yeah.
We managed to bring
our two crazy families together.
- We did that.
- [laughs]
Happy Valentine's Day.
- Happy Valentine's Day, my love.
- Love you.
Love you.
