Series 4 Episode 2. Before Rosie comes to get Dup from the bar after he was released from the police for supposedly illegal removing two elephants from Mara.

A rough pot-bellied man walked in. He looked worn out, his suit was creased, his hair stuck out like a hay stack and his shoes covered in dust

"Hey they let you go! How'd you do it?"

"What do you mean how? I'm an innocent man, why wouldn't they set me free?" He replied, sitting himself down on a bar stool. "Get me a beer"

Max raised his eyebrows

"Ag man, you're just like the rest of your soon-to-be bladdy in laws, just one man"

Shaking his head and grinning, he filled up a glass.

"Do you need a lift?"

He took a breather from gulping down his beer, "yes".

"Leopards Den"

"Dup's ere, wants a lift home"

"What, can't he walk?"

Max held the receiver to his chest, "Can you walk home?"

Dups eyes widened, "can I walk home? Course I can't walk home I've just walked from the next bladdy town man!"

"Apparently not," he said back into the receiver

"Fine. I'm coming" Rosie sighed and the line went dead.

"She's on her way"

"Good, you got any food?"

"What for?"

"Err to eat... I haven't eaten all day!"

Max tossed him a bag of crisps.

"Cheers"


A horn beeped outside, not that Du Plessis would have heard it. He was rambling on about the time he was caught stealing oranges from a market.

"...and then the policeman asked if I was the only one and I said hell no, i wasn't the going to be the only one going down for this"

"Yeah" came Max's distant voice from the back.

"Dup come on!" Rosie had appeared in the bar as Max came back in carrying a large box.

"Ah thanks" Dup reached into his pocket and put some coins on the counter, "It's all I got"

"Max have you been serving him?"

"Didn't give me a choice!" He smiled.

"We're going" she turned on her heel and walked back outside.

Dup tapped the counter as he got up, "thanks man" and he left.

"Honestly you would test the patience of a saint sometimes you really would..."
