The Forgiven Page #11

---

My dad is a Tsonga.

He comes from Mpumalanga.

What they're gonna do

to you now, Benjamin?

They will... they will...

they will kill me, sir.

They will kill you.

Yes, they will.

I return one of your own.

See? Blomfeld,

you're taking our woman, now?

No, he bloodied me

by himself,

one-on-one.

Benjamin.

No Benjamin.

Wait.

You can take me.

Sure you can.

But I take a few noses, ears,

and pricks with me,

for sure I do.

You all hate me

for what I've done

to your people.

I absorb your hate.

I feed on it.

And you, Francois,

you bliksem c*nt?

You hate me for all those terrible

things we've done together.

Discipline.

No.

No one.

No one.

Yes, he does.

I stand for him.

Quiet.

Benjamin.

Salute!

Salute!

Blomfeld,

I'll offer you a drink.

In your f***ing dreams, kaffir.

And don't come

back, you'll get a lick

of my f***ing cigarette, dude!

Did Howard leave?

Yes.

You know I think

Mr. Pollsmoor is a lost cause.

I hope you haven't sent Howard

on a wild goose chase.

I haven't.

I'm getting to know my enemy.

Leah has been teaching me.

Any news

about Mrs. Morobe?

Kefilwe called.

She's out of hospital.

Good.

Father,

you feeling better?

Yes.

The other night

I got really, really angry

with God.

So angry with God, I said,

"How can you allow

such and such and such

and such a thing to happen?"

So, I scolded God

for not showing the world

who was in charge.

I said, "Are you

in charge, God?"

But then,

I realized

that that was His way

of getting my backside

off of the pity potty.

Mrs. Van Den Bergh?

You're a very punctual man,

Mr. Varney.

They told me at the shop

you'd be arriving at 11:00.

11:
00 it is.

Do you remember someone

called Piet Blomfeld?

You look like

you need a cup of tea.

Come inside.

Oh, go then!

They think they're Alsatians.

That's blood.

You need vinegar to clean blood.

I said you need vinegar.

The acid cuts the blood.

Scrub.

You're very lucky

to be here, Benjamin.

This place

is better than any school.

Hey!

First, it'll teach you

who you are.

Then, if you have the balls,

it'll teach you

that the only person

you can change is yourself.

Understand?

I know I gave my word

that I would stand for you,

but other than that,

I don't give a poes.

I told you not to come here.

Please...

f***.

Kruger?

Pollsmoor.

Yes?

Archbishop,

they are going

to piss themselves in hell

they are, at what

I'm going to do.

Come see me.

Yes,

I'm going to tell you

about a certain braai

and what we done when we were

knocking back a few drinks.

You will wish to God

you never listened.

After that,

you can forget about me.

You'll have what you came for

and you and I will be done.
