- Okay. Okay. - Okay.
Let's follow that one.
- There's nothing. He knew. - Freddy?
Nobody grows up wanting to break the law.
So if you really want to arrest anybody,
then go start with their people there in government.
The crooks.
Is Tristan not going to school?
- Wesley! - I-I...
And maybe when you get back,
you and my dad can get married.
He really loves you.
We need to proceed with the craniotomy.
We're all on the same page here.
You need to do whatever you can to save Mom.
Dad, um, why don't -- why don't you sit down?
Why?
Because your constant pacing is putting everyone on edge.
- I can't sit. - Dad, please just sit.
I can't sit. What -- What help would it do to sit?
Well, what's your pacing helping, Dad?
- Please! - Okay, guys, guys, guys. Hey.
We all need to just stay calm for Mom.
Seriously, thinking the worst, it doesn't help her.
We need to think calming, loving, healing thoughts.
Oh, shut it with your hippie claptrap, Gavin.
I'm allowed to be worried for my wife.
Seriously?
Mom's gonna be okay.
I mean, we have to believe that.
Hang in there, Pops.
- Is -- Is Tristan okay? - I don't know.
I'm gonna head back home and check on him, okay?
But please, if there's any update, call me immediately.
Alright? Yeah. Of course.
Alright, man.
I'll see you later.
♪ I can feel your tide ♪
♪ Pulling me ♪
♪ Call when the sunlight falls ♪
♪ And the tide will bring me home ♪
It's cold, eh?
Amy.
I think it's time for you to leave.
Tristan, nothing happened,
if that's what you're worried about.
I know, I just...
I don't want things to be weird, you know.
You're making them kind of weird.
No, I'm not.
I won't tell Yolande, if that's what you're worried about.
And what would you say to her?
I just said I won't say anything.
- Yeah, but what would you say? - Relax, Tristan.
I know we weren't supposed
to fall asleep spooning or whatever.
It's not like that.
Oh, yeah?
Then what was it like?
'Cause I clearly remember you pressing into me.
But whatever you need to tell yourself.
Hello?
Hi, Mr. Field.
- Hi. - I'm just gonna go. Bye!
Where's Tristan?
Tristan!
- Tristan! - What is up, Dad?
"What is up?"
More like "what the hell is this?"
- It's nothing. - Nothing, Tristan?!
Nothing happened, Dad.
Tristan, that's besides the point.
I've called you ten times.
You're not answering your phone.
Sorry, hey?
Listen to me. Gran's going in for surgery.
What?
Go and get dressed. Get Lucy.
- We need to get back. - Of course.
Hurry!
Hey.
She's gonna be okay.
The thing is, we don't actually know that, do we?
You know, growing up, I was always the baby of the family.
Martin was the big boy, stoic one.
The one who took charge.
And the way that I was used to irritate the hell out of my dad.
He always wanted me to be a leader.
You know, be more like Martin. That wasn't me.
I remember him saying, "Stop sniveling, Gavin."
It was probably fair.
I mean, I was a proper softy when I was a kid.
I'd cry for anything.
My mom -- My mom was always different.
She...
She -- She always knew who I was.
She had my back.
She supported my studies and...
...my decision to drop out and go pro.
She's the one who convinced my dad.
And then with the restaurant, with Salt & Fire,
she's the one who loaned us the money.
It was her. It was against my father's wishes.
Because she believed in us.
She believed in me and you.
Hey, Luce.
- Is Gran awake yet? - Not yet.
We're waiting to hear from the surgeon, alright?
Hop in the car.
That's good, right? It's progress?
Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.
But, yeah, it's been, ah, difficult.
You don't always have to be this stoic, you know?
You sound like my mom.
Charlie, thanks for looking after Lucy. I appreciate it.
Don't know what I would've done without you, so thanks.
See ya.
Martin.
Remember when I told you about that list
of things that I wanted?
Yeah.
I want to tell you what's at the top of that list.
The thing that's the most important,
the make-or-break kind of thing for me.
Yeah?
I don't want to be your second best.
Not to Julia
or Rebecca.
I want to know that you're in love with me,
and not with what I can do for you.
I hear you.
Yeah.
Mr. Field.
The operation went well.
However, she's still unconscious,
and we will continue to monitor her.
But she's okay?
Yes, she is. Now we need to be patient
and allow her time to recover.
Is that it?
I'm pretty confident in a positive outcome.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Thank you so, so very much.
I'll let you know if there's any change.
- Anything? - No.
Let's have a look.
- Nah, there's nothing. - No cars, no.
We're still under! Did you do what I asked?
Yes. Community is spooked by the authorities.
Oh, stop making excuses, Joey.
Every time we get to shore, we are followed
or we can't collect the dropoffs.
It's slowing us down.
What about the fishermen?
If they're patrolling the shore,
then do the drops further on in the ocean.
My local guy isn't keen anymore.
Isn't keen?
I threatened his family and he sent them away.
What's his name again?
- Freddy Solomons. - You have his number?
- Yeah. - Send it to me.
- Okay. - Now come. Follow me.
Offload these. Give them to the kids.
Get that Clement boy to push them on the street.
For every kilo of abalone, give them a bankie.
We really, really need to make that next delivery.
900 kilos en route to Zim
by the end of this week.
I get it.
Hey, put this back inside. Hurry up!
I'm here, old girl.
I prayed all night.
Well, I prayed.
I don't believe in this life and death business anymore.
I need you.
I need you next to me.
By my side on the porch,
a beautiful view, our children with us.
I need you slipping into bed next to me.
Lying next to me, holding me.
I miss you so much.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm -- I'm staying right here.
But you must come back.
Come back now.
Come back to me.
Please.
Oh!
This is really good, eh?
- I need to talk to you. - Mm?
It's about how you put yourself in danger last night.
- Danger? - No, hear me out.
- Did Martin talk to you? - Yes.
So, you two are ganging up on me now?
Of course not.
All I did
was talk to people you know.
I followed my gut and --
and I got some really important information that we --
that Martin needs.
Important information
that will get us to the core of what's really going on.
That's all.
Martin is threatening to contact your parents.
It's okay.
I told him to relax. But I am worried, too, Amina.
They are real gangsters,
- and bad things -- - Rebecca...
No, actually,
I couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking,
here I am trying to be woke and supportive.
I'm trying to be your bestie, when really I should...
I should focus on rather being a good...
A good what?
Being a good mother.
I had nightmares after Martin spoke to me.
It's like I finally have you safe here with me.
And then I said something wrong
and I could have gotten your life in danger.
By talking to the aunty from the soup kitchen?
By interrogating people connected to gangsters, Amina.
You could have gotten stabbed or shot or abducted.
And I am just terrified of losing you.
- Rebecca. - No.
Life is not what it used to be like when I was young.
Yeah, obviously,
because we've stopped fighting for what's right.
Okay, but at what point does that get you killed?
So...basically...
what you're saying is I must stay away
because of you and Martin's paranoia.
I must just hide in this house.
I need you on my side.
- I am on your side. - Then, yeah.
Then I need you to be okay
with me doing things that are not comfortable.
That's what makes us, us.
It's what makes us different from my parents.
And yeah, they would have stopped me.
What do you need me to do?
I need you to accept me for who I am.
Okay.
Shukran.
I got your back. Just be careful.
Trist. Tristan.
Bru, your sister. Dude, she's...
Bru, I don't even know how to describe her, dude.
Last night we went to the fishing community
to interview poachers.
Bru, she's just like small dynamite.
Mr. Du Plessis!
- Mr. Field. - Morning, sir.
Morning, Mr. Hendricks.
I see you managed to pass on the baton
to Mr. Field, Wesley.
What baton is that, sir?
The proverbial one.
I just hope for your sake that you have a signed letter
in your bag, Mr. Field.
Yes, I do.
Hm.
Not sure why you're standing here looking at me
when you both need to be in class.
- Double time. - Yes, sir.
Here. Right.
As we are all still well aware,
we are battling an ongoing poaching problem
as well as a crime wave in our community.
The Community Police Forum have been working with SAPS
and proving to be promising and successful.
We are once again asking for volunteers.
We're gonna have to work together as a community
if we are going to arrest all the scourge of criminality
and the gangsters in our community.
Listen, listen.
We are tired of you calling us gangsters.
- That's not what I said. - Well, we're not gangsters.
- We are fishermen. - I didn't call you a gangster.
We are trying to provide for our families,
but you just spend your time trying to arrest us.
- Calm -- - No, man.
Wait. Just listen.
It's just simple science. Abalone is not just a snail.
Okay? It forms a vital part of the ecosystem.
That's what we're trying to establish.
And there you go again, talking to me like
I don't understand the ocean, huh?
I have been on the ocean my whole life.
- I know. - Dr. Fields.
That doesn't make me a gangster.
- Calm down! - I know!
We're tired of being the problem of this town, hm?
Our boats are locked in the harbor.
All we need to do is listen!
Listen to me! Oh, hey!
We're just trying to help.
- That's all I'm trying to do. - No, man. No.
- We're just -- - Calm down!
- We're just trying to help. - Yo!
- Liar! - Everybody calm down!
Listen to each other.
Amina, yes, please, ma'am.
Please, take the floor.
Let us all listen.
Some of you might recognize me.
I've been speaking to a couple of you over the past week,
trying to come up with a solution that fits everyone.
Someone that -- that gives a damn about our fishermen.
Whether we like it or not,
we all have a part to play when it comes to poaching.
And the only way we are going to have some type
of meaningful effect in stopping it
is if we work together as a community.
The police can't do it on their own,
as us conservationists can't do it ourselves.
This community at large is going to suffer
unless we work together to find solutions.
The real issue at hand here is poverty.
Exactly, huh?
Plain and simple. Poverty.
And unless we're going to come up with solutions
to address that poverty,
we are going to be chasing our tails
until this ocean is just a barren wasteland.
And then we all have nothing left.
100%.
How can we continue to make a decent living
without cutting our ties to the sea?
Well, thank you for your contribution, Amina.
Do you have any concrete plans for these ideas of yours?
I do.
And I encourage anyone who wants to be a part of that
to come speak to me afterwards.
What you looking at?
It's the cooperation agreement from Fast Fish.
And?
They have agreed to pay me the amount
that I wanted for the shares.
But?
But it gives them a lot of power.
They can influence the menu, finances, even how I plate.
And now it's signed.
It's done.
Yes, uh, I heard.
How's Wilma doing?
Oh. Better.
Much better.
He seems so lost without his mom.
And it just made me realize again
how my rejection must have hurt him.
He just needed one person to love him for who he is
and to be loyal to just him.
I was supposed to be that person.
I touched his hand...
...and it was fireworks, tingles all over my body.
I just wanted to grab him and kiss him.
Ah, Becca!
There's a few things a mother don't want to know, man.
I just wanted to grab him and kiss him
and take off his clothes, Mommy.
No, Rebecca!
Relax, Cheryl.
With you around, of course I can't relax my nerves.
No, Mommy, listen.
Being away gave me a lot of context.
You know, I'm trying to be better.
Just be yourself, my girl, mm?
Mm.
That's why I won't push it, you know?
Even though all I wanted was to rip his...
You know...
Sometimes I wonder how I was conceived, Cheryl.
Through the grace of God, child.
You!
- Are you okay, my dear? - I'm fine, thank you.
- You sure? - Yes.
You don't look okay.
No, I'm fine, thank you, Aunty Cheryl.
Okay.
Freddy Solomons.
I'm about to go out.
Tell me, how did the police know
what houses to target during the raid?
Look, I helped you and Joey out, okay?
It's finished now.
What do you earn a week?
Enough for an honest living.
Working on this boat that your father gave you,
which is falling apart.
Your kid's on a bursary, can't even afford tuition,
and standing in line for SASSA handouts.
For centuries, your people have been fishing here.
They've owned the land, the bay, and...
Then came in the outsiders.
In Zimbabwe, we took it all back.
Ha, and look how well that turned out.
You're confused by what the media is feeding you.
The people own the resources now.
Is that why you're here scrounging for work?
I'm shaping a new future
for those that have been left behind in the mud,
conditioned to think that what you're doing is illegal.
Do you know who the real criminals are?
The lawmakers who are denying you your birthright.
This here --
what I, Mr. Chen, my bosses, Hannes, Joey, are building --
is freedom.
Freedom from the poverty that turns you
and your people into the rats
that are scrounging for crumbs on the streets.
What I'm saying, Freddy,
is that this bay, this ocean,
the fish, and even the abalone
belong to you.
They belong to your people, your children.
Rhidwan and Aisha?
So, you choose if you want to give that all up or...
...if you want to take back what's rightfully yours.
But if you choose incorrectly,
there'll be consequences.
Which is?
You can send your kids, Marsha,
all the way to Johannesburg to be with Farida and Zaid,
but I'll still find them.
H-How -- How do you know where they are?
Because I had to be smart to survive.
I would consider you do the same.
Mrs. Field?
Your vitals are good.
You've had a successful surgery.
How are you feeling?
Jack?
He's just stepped out.
I'll go and get him for you.
Mr. Field!
Mrs. Field is awake.
The moment I turn my back.
Um...
- Hey. - Hey, um...
Are you coming in today?
Uh, no, I kinda wrapped things up there.
Is everything okay?
No. Um, not really.
- Is it Rebecca? Should I talk to her?
No, it's -- it's not Rebecca. It's, um...
Gavin, I need to --
Sorry. Just hold on.
Dad?
It's Mom. She woke up.
Okay. That's amazing. Um... I-I'm coming in now.
Um...
Ah! Shh, shh!
She's sleeping.
She woke for a moment, but she went back to sleep.
I don't want to wake her anymore.
Yeah. Um, where's Gavin?
I called him. He's on his way.
- Okay. - Gran!
Oh, wait, wait. Lucy, you can see Granny
- in a minute. - Wilma.
Um, why don't you guys go and grab something...
My darling.
I'm here for you.
We're all here for you.
Rest, rest, my darling. Rest.
Hey, Mom. Hi.
I love you, Mom.
Love you, Wilma.
They said it went very well.
Gav is on his way. He's coming now.
Um, I'm gonna go and get the kids.
Okay? You'll see Luce. Alright.
- See you in a sec. - Rest, my sweet.
Oh, see? You're gonna be fine.
Martin Field.
Ah! This is Mr. Hendricks speaking.
Do you have a moment to talk?
Uh, yes, I do, but if this is about Tristan
missing school this morning,
I already reached out to your secretary.
No, this is not about this morning,
but about his continued recent absences.
And...
Yeah, he was given a final warning letter yesterday
requesting a meeting with you
and which you were requested to sign.
Tristan returned the letter with your supposed signature,
saying that you were too busy to attend a meeting.
However, upon closer inspection, I realized, Mr. Field,
that your signature had been forged.
He forged my signature?
Yes.
I'd like to see you at the school again tomorrow.
Yeah. That's good.
Yep. 10:00's good.
Thank you.
Uh, Lucy, you can go and see Granny now.
Okay?
I need to talk to you.
You've got to be kidding me.
Forgery? What are you thinking?
I didn't want you to know about the final warning.
I begged and I pleaded for you
to keep your place in that classroom.
And you made me a promise.
Dad, the reason why I've been absent so much
is because...
I've been trying to call Yolande.
And her dad blocked me completely.
- Amy's actually been helping -- - The semi-naked girl
- from the swimming pool? - Yes, Dad.
Amy helped me phone Yolande with her number.
And the only way to get through to the US --
Amy, Yolande.
I mean, Tristan, it's getting very muddy,
and I'm starting to smell a whole bunch of bull.
It's not bull, Dad.
I just want to know if Yolande's okay.
Yeah? By forging my signature?
Whose bright idea was that? The semi-naked girl's?
Please don't call her that. Her name is Amy.
Amy.
Are you two-timing on Yolande with Amy?
I'm not cheating on Yolande, Dad.
Tris, what's going on?
What's happened to you?
W-Why didn't you come to me
when you were in trouble in the first place, huh?
- Come to you? - Yes.
I'm your father.
Are you?
'Cause you seem to have forgotten that I even exist.
That's not fair.
Do you even know what's important to me?
What's happening with Yolande?
If she's getting any better?
If she's dying?
You haven't even asked me about her, not once.
If you noticed or cared even a little,
you'd know how much she means to me, Dad.
Even Grandpa asks.
All you care about is your Amina
and your poachers.
- Not even your own son. - No.
No, Tris, that's not true.
- Yes, it is. - Come on. No, it's not.
Listen to me.
If I've hurt you and I made you feel this way,
then I'm sorry, okay?
But let's just put it all behind us,
and then you come back to the office,
you pick up your photography.
Huh? How about it?
I'll only come if she isn't there.
She's my employee. I can't do that.
Yes, you can. You're the boss.
You can do whatever you want.
Please be reasonable.
Please be my dad?
Yeah.
Now, speaking will be challenging due to the damage
to your vocal cords by the intubation tube.
This is normal, and your speech will gradually return
over time, Mrs. Field.
What about mobility? Can she walk?
Regaining mobility will take time and physical therapy
as you rebuild strength and coordination.
Simple tasks like holding things,
eating, and drinking might be challenging
as you work on your fine motor skills, Mrs. Field.
I have to be frank with you both.
Life is not going to be the same.
At least not for a while.
Mrs. Field may have to relearn quite a bit.
You may have to relearn how to hold things,
how to use a cellphone.
Writing may be challenging, as will reading.
Short-term memory may take a while to recover.
And emotional changes
like anxiety and frustration are common.
We'll provide you with more pain medication,
but for now, you need to rest.
I'm right here for you, my darling.
And I will be, every step of the way.
Don't worry, my sweet.
Hi.
Yeah, what -- what are you doing here?
Let's just say I've been inspired.
Aha! You convinced her to come?
No.
I've been following with what's going on,
and, well, I think I might have a solution for you.
You don't want to talk to me first?
You would think I'm leading you on.
Are you not?
Martin, this is purely academic.
- What? - No, I just...
love it when you speak science to me, that's all.
Ugh, you two are so cringe.
- Anyways, this is my moment. - Yes.
- So, focus. - Okay. And nice move.
Going for my Achilles heel, right?
Oh, wait. I'm your downfall?
No, no, no, on the contrary.
You kind of saved me from being a complete ass.
And this isn't where you convince me
to let you interrogate criminals.
- You got something else? - I'm not. Okay?
Just -- Yeah.
Okay. What you got?
Okay, so I've been working with a lot of
at-risk young people at schools.
Clement, all the kids in False Bay.
And I'm realizing more and more
that they are the cornerstones to empowered, strong community.
I started this program with that royal trust,
and they've been helping the kids in the bay,
and I think we could work together.
To create not just a trust, but a community center.
We start with a youth outreach program first,
and the center can then expand to training
and assisting in getting fishermen's licenses.
Mm-hmm.
- What's wrong? - No, nothing.
I just can't believe I haven't considered this before.
Yeah.
We'll do an edu drive first, just to see what
the response is like.
Try and get them off the street,
hopefully off drugs.
Off the abalone.
Because if they don't have any more runners, then...
Everything crumbles.
Their Achilles heel.
Wow.
You've thought of everything, huh?
- Neat, right? - Yeah.
Are you gonna help us set this up?
I've already spoken to my UK financers.
Hey, I'm not doing this for you, okay?
I'm doing it for the kids.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Of course.
Charlie, can I show you something?
Yeah. Mm.
Hey.
How's Mom?
She's resting.
Her doctors are trying to explain that...
how challenging things are gonna become.
I don't know.
What?
Uh, they say we must expect changes.
You know, she won't be herself.
Challenges with hands and walking and...
F-For how long?
I don't know. Uh...
But Mom...Mom's...
She's foggy, you know?
I'm sure it's just the medication, Dad.
Yeah, maybe.
- Poor Mom. - Mm.
What about poor you, huh?
What's up? Rebecca?
It's the usual, you know.
Pretending not to love the woman I love.
Pretending to who?
- Myself, mostly. - Mm-hmm.
But also her...
- ...you, everyone. - Mm.
I know -- I know I'm a fool for loving her, just...
Yeah.
Well, you can't stand in the way of love.
You don't think I'm a fool?
Oh, well, that's debatable.
I'll tell you what I do know is that, uh,
women make fools of us all until we keel over.
So if you love her enough,
you shouldn't care about what I think.
Alright.
We used to come to beaches like this all the time.
Me, Wes, Yolande, and the other guys.
Was just a few months back, but it feels so long ago now.
You miss that.
I miss not feeling so alone.
Why don't you make up with Wes?
No, I can't do that.
Tristan, I'm sorry I told you about Yolande.
Didn't mean to make your life more difficult.
No, it -- it's fine. It's, you know...
Sometimes I wish I could just forget about it all.
You know?
It's not so difficult to forget.
Um, uh, I shouldn't have done that.
- It's fine. - No.
No, I'm not a cheater. I can't...
I can't do that to her, Amy.
Tristan, relax.
I can't relax, Amy.
I can't go kissing other girls while she's suffering.
What kind of a person does that make me?
Tristan, you are incredible.
No, I'm not, damn it!
Sorry.
Look, Amy, I need to be alone for a bit.
Hey.
How's your mom?
She's, um... She's -- she's doing fine.
She's much better.
What's wrong?
No, I-I...um...
How's -- How's it going with the sale?
Fine. The contract has been signed.
Uh, full payment has been made,
and I have new partners.
So you will be sorted and you can pay your mom back.
That's great news, I guess.
Yeah.
How do you feel about it?
Fine. Um...
Terrible at first, um...
but then it started to feel really good.
Financial freedom.
No.
Setting you free.
Doing something right by you.
'Cause...even if I tried...
...I can't help it.
I still love you.
Thanks for today, Charlie.
It was, uh... It was really good.
Uh, can I walk you home?
Sure.
This program. Um, wow.
Amazing. And the way you present.
It's like, you've got chops.
- Yeah. - Quite inspirational. Yeah.
We've been connecting with other coastal areas with,
um, struggling with similar issues.
You have? I mean, why didn't you tell me?
You never asked.
Oh.
Yeah, I guess it's because I thought
your entire life revolved around Lucy.
Who is an incredible girl, by the way.
- Yep. - She's smart.
Such a straight-shooter.
- And endlessly inquisitive. - Yeah.
So, actually, I, um...
I do love it when you ask me to au pair.
Oh, my word.
Tell me about this program.
Okay.
Well, some of these kids,
they never really go out to the ocean.
- Mm-hmm. - They don't swim.
They don't play in the sand.
They don't connect with nature.
They're stuck, literally and metaphorically.
Well, this program uses water therapy as a tool,
and the adults from the community as mentors.
Building a new healthy relationship with nature
from the ground up.
That's amazing, Charlie.

Hey!
- How did you get here? - Joey bought us the tickets.
- He what? - Yeah. Didn't you know?
No.
H-Hi.
