INSERT 54 Cast: Buhle Melody Minky Zoleka Mpho Banda Scones Liyabona Xola INSERT 54 Wednesday morning... Buhle is still unconscious on a hospital bed. Last night the paramedics arrived on time and managed to get him to hospital but his condition isnt clear yet coz he hasnt woken up and he hasnt said a word. Xola, Melody, Vuyo, Unathis uncle, Dungs, Lethu, Thabo, the Pastor who was leading Unathis prayer service are all standing next to his hospital bed. Xola: Last night I had to take Buhles gun, ID and his wallet out of his pocket so that when the cops come to the crime scene they wouldnt know its Buhle Vuyo: You did good madala Xola: When the cops asked who he is, I told them hes a friend of mine, his name is Tony, otherwise he wouldve been cuffed to a hospital bed and if recovers he was gonna go to jail. Now theyre gonna take Tonys details from the M3 and Tony wont mind. Its not like hes gonna be arrested Dungs: Hay sure mpintsham. Ekse who of you saw the people in the car last night? I think I heard someone saying something Thabo: It was me Lethu: Who did you see? Whos this cat? Thabo: Remember on saturday, the laaitie we chased and couldnt catch? Xola: Xilas friend? Thabo: Yes him Vuyo: But I thought Xila and him are the only people left, who were the others in the BMW Dungs: Maybe Xila was in that car too Vuyo: Theres no way, yesterday when I was in the interrogation room the detective spoke as if they have enough evidence to lock him up for good. He cant be out, not unless he escaped Lethu: Eish majita. We must go to Langa, to try and find out who the laaities in that BMW were. If we find out, shit is gonna go down Pastor: Bafana bam, you cant solve violence through violence. Leave it all in our fathers hands Xola: Where are you from TatuPriest? Pastor: Gugulethu Xola: Have you always been a punk when you were growing up? Pastor: What is that? Xola: Yi bhari Pastor: What would make you ask that? Xola: Youve been here the whole night talking your own shit. You are starting to become annoying, get out Pastor: But, you know in the ... Xola: Out, and by the way, give me your phone before I shoot you in your throat Pastor: But in the kingdom of... Xola: Im not gonna say it again. I like your iPhone, I like your 2 watches on both wrists, I like your wedding ring, and when I like something, it must be mine. I wouldve bought my own but then again, you would have the same too. Give them to me Dungs: Haha ekse The pastor takes off his diamond wedding ring, 2 gold watches, he gives them to Xola. He takes his iPhone out, removes his sim and gives it to Xola as well, + his extra phone which is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Thabo: Whats in your wallet? Pastor: Its just a picture of my wife and my children and my bank cards. Nothing of value Dungs: Dont say nothing of value, mtshana your cards have money on them Pastor: Its not my money, its the churchs money. Please bafana, dont rob that money off Xola: Whats the daily limit? Pastor: Haibo thats unnecessary mfana wam. Xola: Yeeyyy Im asking you While theyre busy talking the doctor enters the room, and everyone goes silent. After a few seconds... Xola: As I was saying pastor, doctors know their job, our friend here will wake up soon, right doctor? Doctor: I cant promise you anything at this stage. But in most cases where one has been shot in the upper body, the patients recovered well. One bullet missed his spinal cord by 3 inches. Dungs: Who is family with the patient? Lethu: This is his father [pointing at the pastor] Doctor: Sir, I need to ask you a few questions about his medical history Pastor: Okay [looking shocked yet speechless) Doctor: Has he ever been hospitalised for any serious accident or illness before? Pastor: [keeps quiet yet looking confused]...Uhm.. The crew look at the pastor and Xola moves his lips so that the pastor can make out that hes saying No Pastor: No, he has never. My son has always been a good young man. Hes a choir member in church and these are my choir boys as well Doctor: Well, cause on here, we had to treat him for shock, and he may take a couple of days to recover. This is nothing serious, its just he has lost a lot of blood so well keep him here up until he regains the amount of blood he lost Melody, who has been quiet throughout, opens her mouth to ask a question. Melody: I have a question doctor Doctor: Yes? Melody: Are you saying theres a chance he might survive? Doctor: If everything goes as planned, then he might. But one mistake, hell leave us Thabo: But you just said its nothing serious. Maybe Im mistaken here Doctor: Well, his situation is serious, but the procedure is quick and easy, nothing serious thatll damage his body Melody: When can you perform this procedure? Doctor: As soon as he has the right amount of blood Xola: When will that be? Doctor: Im unsure about that, but if he responds to the medication which is given to him, it should take less than a week Dungs: A week? So now we should keep our hopes for an entire week Doctor: Were doing the best we can Xola: You and who? I dont see any other doctor here... Doctor: Were still trying to appoint a team of doctors for him Melody: Team? Doctor what are you not telling us? Doctor: I think it would be better if you leave. Well call you when we see a change in the patient Melody: No answer me Doctor: I have nothing to say. Melody: DOCTOR??? [Calling out] Doctor: [Leaves room] Pastor: [still quiet and scared] Vuyo: Why are you still here? Move The pastor walks out as quick as he can. Lethu: Hahahaha you came to hospital to make money rhuzu lam Xola: These pastors are crooks kau. This is real gold and this is a genuine diamond ring. Im sure his church members paid for all of this. We can make R50 000 of these things if we sell them Dungs: Then lets sell them Xola: No, not now, when Buhle recovers. After all, he brought this mission Vuyo: Do you think that pastor will still go to Unathis prayer service tonight? Xola: If he doesnt, Unathis family can find another one Thabo: Lets all go home, Melo girl, need a lift? Melody: No, I took Buhles car keys, Ill drive the M3. Im sorted Xola: Call us if theres any change. You have our numbers right? Melody: Sure I do, I will. Vuyo: Thabo Ill ride with you madala Dungs: Wheres your Jetta? Vuyo: Its at home mfowethu Xola: Okay lets go. The gang leaves. Meanwhile, Buhle is left talking to Buhle... Melody: Baby, you know, when I first met you, you were this kind and innocent guy who was just washing cars. I got you involved in this life coz I knew youd make lots and lots of money, as time went by, I realised youre becoming more independent. I tried to stop you because I had fallen in love with you. Now youre lying here, and I cant even help you recover. I blame myself for all of this. If I hadnt taken you in, you probably wouldve been happy and had no bullet wounds on your body. Buhle baby I would do anything to make you happy and I want us to be happy together. You complete me and deep down you know that I complete you too. Yes we have fights, but to me, those dont matter, I love you way above that. Please come back to me. You cant die so soon, no you cant. We still have a whole life ahead of us together and Id hate to continue, alone. I love you. Please wake up, even if you just move a finger. Buhle doesnt move The doctor comes and asks Melody to leave... Melody: But Im just having a word with him Doctor: Visiting hours are over now maam. Melody: Please give me an extra 5 minutes Doctor: I cant. I have to look into the patient now. We cant afford to waste any time Melody: I wont be able to go home doctor. Can I sit in the waiting room? Or maybe sleep on the bunk stools till he recovers Doctor: I wouldnt recommend that because it has its health risks and you wouldnt be doing yourself or the patient a favour. Rather go home and get some rest, well call if anything changes Melody: No man, thats not enough. I want to be here by his side through everything, you dont understand Doctor: If thats what you want. Then okay Melody: It is Melody leaves the room to call Minky Minky: Tshomi? Melody: Hey tshomi, Buhle got shot last night and his condition is confusing. The doctors arent being honest with me. Minky: What? Shot by who and where? [shocked] Melody: He was shot by people in a car at Unathis prayer service in Gugulethu Minky: Hay sisi. Where are you now? Melody: Im in hospital with him and Im scared tshomi, Im scared. When I asked him to stop, this is what I was afraid of. Minky: Which hospital is he at? Melody: Tygerberg Minky: Ill come to you right now Melody: No tshomi, theres no need. Im gonna go home now, the doctor asked me to leave Minky: Tshomi I know Buhle will get through this. Have faith, he wont die Melody: Ya neh Minky: Who shot him? Melody: His friends have an idea but I wasnt paying attention to what they were saying. Im sure theyll deal with it their own way Minky: Whoever did it must be dealt with Melody: Well, for me, that doesnt matter right now. Seeing my baby alive and calling me Baby and smiling and laughing with me is all that matters. I might never experience that again, tshomiiiiii [starts crying] Minky: No man, tshomi please dont do that to yourself. Buhle is strong. Please come to my house as soon as you leave the hospital Melody: I wont be able to. I still dont know if I should go flat-hunting or not. What if I look for a flat and my baby doesnt make it? Minky: Stay positive sweety. Ill come to your house as soon as youre home. Call me when you get home Melody: Thanks, Ill do just that. Hay kodwa life isnt fair. Bye tshomi. See you later Minky: Sharp ke sweety. Stay strong, Buhle is gonna be okay Melody: Sharp [drops call] She leaves the hospital ............................................. Meanwhile, in Pollsmoor, Xila uses the prison warders phone to call his friends... Guy 1: Hello? Xila: Sure, did you do it? Guy 1: Whos this? Xila: Its me, Xila Guy 1: Sure hes dead. But we didnt get uXola Xila: Then who did you shoot? [concerned] Guy 1: Sive showed us someone whos in Xolas crew, so we figured we should take him out instead Xila: Are you gonna go back for Xola tonight? Guy 1: No, there wont be any need. By the way where did you get a phone? Xila: I made a deal with the prison warder(bavarro). This is his phone Guy 1: Oh okay. Dont worry ngqwela, well get them one by one Xila: I want you to try and see if you can ask around and find out who killed my brother. I wont be able to go to his funeral umntana ka mama. Guy 1: Dont worry, we will. Xila: Make sure you dont go to my brothers prayer service, not even his funeral. You might enter a danger zone. Things are gonna go dirty from here on Guy 1: Ekse dont worry mfethu man. Relax. Well go to Unathis funeral in another car. I hear its gonna be on saturday, this coming saturday Xila: Carry your guns neh, and be careful Guy 1: Sure, dont worry mfowethu. Sizoya nge Cara Cara.
