01x08 - Psychopath

[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Leonard groaning softly]

[g*n c*ck]

[Leonard] Vuyo.

[panting]

Yes.

Twenty years ago, I wanted Nandi.

[inhales sharply]
And I slept with her, once.

And then you took her from me.

Yes, I was jealous. I was angry.

But that was 20 f*cking years ago!

So no, I am not f*cking her.

The person I love...

[sniffles]

The person I loved was Brenda.

And me and Nandi
were working out her death.

But it was suicide.

[laughs wryly]

[in Tswana] So who shot me?

Huh?

- It wasn't me.
- Who was it?

[in English] No, please.

[in Tswana] Xolile. It was you.

[Leonard in English] No.

[Vuyo] Then who the f*ck shot me?

[in Tswana] Who was it?

It was Charlie.

[breathing heavily]

It was Charlie Chace.

- [g*n c*ck]
- [in English] Vuyo! No!

I'll tell Nandi our investigation is done.

Lock up when you leave.

[breathing heavily]

[menacing music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts, sighs]

Drive.

Your husband is in there.

- What?
- Drive.

[Vuyo panting]

[dramatic music playing]

[Nandi in Zulu] What did Leonard want?

[Vuyo in English] He thinks we're f*cking.

- [Nandi] Jesus Christ.
- [Vuyo] Don't worry.

I told him you'd never want that... again.

[Nandi] Can we just leave the past
in the past?

[Vuyo] It seems
the past refuses to be buried.

[engine stops]

[in Tswana] Here.

[in English] Thank you.

[in Zulu] What happened
between you and Jacob last night? Hmm?

[in English] We just talked.

[electricity crackling]

[Nandi] And Brenda?

[in Zulu] 'Cause I thought
you wanted to k*ll Jacob

because you thought he k*lled her.

[in English] Maybe he didn't.

[grunting, gasping]
Why are you doing this?

Because you k*lled Brenda Grootboom.

[in Xhosa] You can t*rture me
all you want,

but it's not going to make it true.

- [electricity crackling]
- [Jacob grunts, gasps]

I wished her dead, bra,
but I didn't k*ll her.

[in English] Vuyo!
I didn't k*ll her. I didn't k*ll her.

I didn't k*ll her. I didn't k*ll her.

[grunts, pants]

I've just decided to get to the bottom
of everything that happened.

- Everything that happened...
- Benjamin Jiba.

Don't worry about it.

- Are you f*cking kidding me, Vuyo?
- I'll handle it.

Quietly.

And, um...

Leonard, did you tell Leonard
about my affair with Jacob?

No.

The b*stard doesn't deserve
to know everything.

[in Zulu] Zinhle also
shouldn't know everything.

[in English] Don't worry about it, Nandi.
I'll handle it.

[Nandi sighs, sniffles]

[sighs]

[crying] Thank you.

[sniffles]

Thank you.

Come here.

- [Nandi sobbing] I'm sorry. Thank you.
- [Vuyo] It's okay, Nandi.

[Nandi] Thank you.

[somber music playing]

[in Xhosa] Mom, it's me, Jacob.

No.

[Jacob] Please, Mom, it's me.
I will not hurt you.

You're dead, but you don't know it.

I k*lled you myself.

I drowned you.

[whispering] Things

are not what they seem.

Your father...

My dad was innocent.

Dad didn't k*ll or r*pe anyone.

[menacing music plays]

- He didn't?
- Yes, Mom.

[g*nsh*t echoes]

[crying]

[crying]

Mama...

Mama, I promise you,

they're going to pay for what they did.

[sobs]

Do you hear me, Mom?

[sobs]

[in English] What?

- How about dinner on Friday?
- You paying?

[Charlie] Sure.

Bra V,

you okay?

[dramatic music playing]

You f*cking shot me.

Deny it.

What was Brenda's first statement?

- Why do you wanna know?
- What did she say?

She didn't see anything.

Who convinced her to lie?

- Your brother.
- How?

He was f*cking her.

Didn't you know that?

[inhales] When you say he "was," when?

When was he f*cking her?

Well, back then, definitely.

Now too, maybe. But I thought
you wanted me to shut down this case

because it was his semen sample.

[grunts]

Was it his semen sample?

No. I... I don't know.
We stopped investigating, remember?

[inhales sharply] Call my brother,
and I will f*cking k*ll you.

You report to me now.

Do you hear me?

Expect instructions.

I'm gonna catch Brenda's k*ller,
even if I have to do it my f*cking self.

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Ameera reading indistinctly]

[stops reading abruptly]

Did you get into a fight?

Don't ask. What is it?

Okay. Um, Jacob called,

and he turned down the job.

He what?

Yeah.

- Text me his number.
- Sure. Yeah. Okay.

[Leonard sighs heavily]

[Leonard] Brenda, I'm telling you,

Benjamin Jiba r*ped
and m*rder*d Busi Vilakazi.

That's a fact.

[Brenda] Vuyo said that...

Vuyo's wrong!

That as*h*le is gonna get away with it,
and you can bring justice.

- [Brenda] Are you sure that he's guilty?
- Hundred percent. Absolutely.

[in Xhosa] Then why do I have to do this?

[in English] Facts aren't important,
Brenda.

What's important is an eyewitness.

And you can give that.

You're a teacher.
Who wouldn't believe a teacher?

I already made a statement.

[in Xhosa] I don't know
what you want me to do.

[in English]
Statements get lost all the time.

Would I lie to you?

Huh?

- [Brenda sighs]
- It's...

[sighs] It's no big deal.

You just have to come in,
you make your statement, and it's done.

[in Xhosa] And you're sure
he really did it?

[in English] Yes.

That man is a pedophile,
and he's a m*rder*r.

We can get him.

Me and you.

I need you to do this.

[kisses]

[in Xhosa] What are you doing?

[in English] We both want it, don't we?

[kissing]

[Brenda moans softly]

[mournful music playing]

[inhales deeply]

[sighs, sniffles]

[crying]

I f*cking miss you. [sobbing]

Why?

How could he do this to me?

How could he do this to us?

[mournful music continues]

[phone chiming and vibrating]

[chiming and vibrating stop]

[Jacob] Hey, you piece of sh*t.

[Leonard] What?
What are you talking about?

[Jacob] Listen to me, you f*ck.

I'm gonna destroy
everything that you hold dear,

starting with your lying b*tch wife
and your pretty little daughter.

Then what I'm gonna do...

I'm gonna f*cking k*ll you.
You hear what I'm saying?

[in Zulu] Do you hear me?

[phone chiming and vibrating]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

[Jacob in Xhosa] They're going to pay
for what they did. Do you hear me, Mom?

[Leonard in Zulu] Don't worry, my brother.

I'll find the person who shot you.

Whatever it takes, I'll find him.

[in English] It's been a week.

[Leonard] I don't want you
to worry about money.

I'll take care of everything.

[in Zulu] No, brother.

I don't want your money.

[in English] I'll take care of myself.

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

What's up, Zee? You okay?

Not really.

[sighs] There's a lot of weird stuff
happening at home.

To be honest,
I'm really worried about Dad.

- Why?
- He was just acting weird, you know?

Going through mom's call logs and...

- [Vuyo] Don't worry about that.
- [Zinhle sighs]

We sorted everything out.

You don't have to worry
about anything, okay?

Okay. Okay.

I... I need to go.

- [Jacob] Hi.
- How are you?

So, I got you these.

- [giggles] Thank you.
- [Jacob] Do you like the flowers?

[both laugh]

You look good.

- [scoffs] Come on. Don't play with me.
- No. [giggles]

I'm serious. No cap, you look good.

[Leonard sighs]

[Leonard sighs]

We do have a beautiful home.

[sighs]

Jacob Tau called the office.

He turned down his internship position.

[in Zulu] Nandi, please forgive me.

[in English] I went a little crazy today.
I went out there looking for Vuyo and, uh...

[Nandi] I know.

[in Zulu] Vuyo told me.

- [sighs]
- [Nandi laughs]

[in English] Such an idiot.

[chuckles] I know.

I know.

[Leonard sighs]

My love.

I don't know
what I would do if I ever lost you.

What scares me even more is...

is me taking long to try and win you back,
you know?

I want us to work.

I want us to move forward.

Please, can we move forward?

I know we're not perfect.

I'm just hoping it's not too late.

Is it too late?

No.

No, it's not too late.

Hey, look here.

[Leonard] Huh?

- [tuts]
- Ow.

Come here.

- [Zinhle] Why are you here?
- [Jacob] Excuse me?

I'm not the kind of person
someone like you would like.

[scoffs] What do you mean,
"someone like me"?

- Handsome...
- [scoffs] Come on.

- ...romantic, thoughtful.
- [chuckling]

Someone who buys flowers.
I mean, who does that?

Zee, I don't even know
if I'm your type of person.

But I like you.

And I want
to get to know you a bit better.

- Eh?
- [laughs]

[laughing]

Look, Zee, I...
I think you're very interesting.

Different.

[chuckles]

Um, let's skip class tomorrow
and hang out.

Yeah, I'm down.

Yeah.

But before we do that...

Let's get something out of the way.

Get what out of the way?

This.

[dramatic music playing]

[both breathing heavily]

- I'm so sorry.
- For what?

For not believing.

In what?

In second chances.

Have you ever cheated on me?

- Huh?
- Have you?

No.

No?

No.

- [whip cracks]
- [Leonard groans]

[Nandi gasps]

[both moaning]

Hit me.

- [whip cracks]
- [Brenda moans]

[Leonard panting]

- [whip cracking]
- [Brenda moans]

[Leonard grunting]

[both panting]

[both grunting]

[both grunting]

[Leonard moans]

[both breathing heavily]

[Leonard] It'll be hard to talk to you
if you keep drinking and not listening.

[Brenda] My drinking's a problem?

[Leonard] I'm trying to... You know what?
We'll do it some other time.

Leonard! Leonard!

Come on.

I can't.

Just... Stop. No, you...

- Just stop!
- What?

It's over.

[in Xhosa] For nine years, you've promised
that you'd leave her, yet you haven't.

[in English] I'm not leaving Nandi.

["Slowly (Freestyle)"
by Markushmane playing]

- [glass shatters]
- [exclaims, gasps]

[in Xhosa] It's over when I say it's over.

[Leonard in English]
Don't be stupid, Brenda.

Don't be f*cking stu...

[grunts]

Just stop, now.

Pick up the phone.

[phone beeps]

[voicemail in English] The number
you dialed is not available.

- Please leave a message.
- [phone beeps]

[Nandi] Payback?
What do you mean, payback?

Payback for what?

I hope you're not gonna do
something stupid.

[knife blade clicks]

[Jacob in Xhosa] They're going to pay,
Mom. Do you hear me?

[in English] They're gonna pay.

[Zinhle] So where are you taking me?

[Jacob] It's a surprise.

Do you like my evil plan?

Yeah.

[keypad clicking]

[Nandi] Jacob! Jacob!

Jacob!

[in Zulu] Where's Jacob?

[in English] Not here.
I don't know when he'll be back.

I'll write him a note in his office.

Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am!

[vibrating stops]

[tense music playing]

Zee. Zee. Zee.

[Jacob grunts]

[grunting forcefully]

I'm looking for a girl. She's...

She's 20. She's got natural hair.
She's my daughter.

Please. You haven't seen her?

Laura, it's Nandi.
Do you know where Zinhle is?

I'm trying to get hold of her.
I don't know where. It's important...

[horn honking]

[breathlessly] sh*t. sh*t.

[Jacob] You know,
I used to come here with my father a lot.

He brought me out here to...

to vent.

Vent about?

[breathes deeply]

Everything.

My anger, tantrums, excessive energy.

I guess people change, right?

[Jacob] I could be anything here

with no consequences.

And I guess

me being here
still makes me feel the same.

You know, Zee...

I like talking to you.

[laughs softly]

[both breathing heavily]

[Zinhle exhales]

You know I like you.

But I've never...

you know...

You've never?

[Zinhle exhales shakily]

Never.

[Jacob] Maybe... maybe this is a mistake.

Wait.

- No, I can't.
- Wait.

No, I... This is a bad idea.

You know, if we proceed with this,
it has to be your decision, not mine.

[intense music playing]

[in Zulu] I don't understand
why Zinhle isn't answering her phone.

[in English] Laura isn't calling back.

[in Zulu] You know how these kids are.
They go out all night.

[in English] They stay out the whole night
and come back whenever they want.

- It's just what they do.
- What the f*ck is her password?

[in Zulu] What are you hoping
to find in Zinhle's laptop?

Clues, anything
that will help us find her, Leonard.

[in English] You need to calm down.

You need to get someone, anyone,
or the cops to hack into her computer.

- Are you serious?
- I'm f*cking serious, Leonard.

[in Zulu] Why are you busy
with the laptop...

Please, Leonard. If you love me,
if you love your daughter...

[in English]...you will do this
for me, please.

[sighs] Okay, fine.

But then you better tell me
what's going on, okay?

[tense, discordant music playing]

Okay?

[phone ringing and vibrating]

- [phone beeps]
- Laura. Thank goodness.

Do you know where Zee is?

[Laura] No, I haven't seen her.
She skipped class.

- What?
- [Laura] She went on a date with a guy.

What? Is it someone... someone from varsity?

[Laura] She met him
at a place called Tau Autoshop.

His name is Jacob.

[sighs]

Oh God.

Thank you. I'll see you
when you get here. All right.

Leonard! Leonard, she's been kidnapped.

[in Zulu] Call the police.

[in English] Get them to come here,
and I'll tell you everything.

Please, Leonard, do something.

[dramatic music plays]

With who?

Jacob Tau.

Why?

I thought I had everything under control.

What does Jacob have to do
with Zinhle disappearing?

- What are you talking about?
- I believe that she's with him right now.

You knew I wanted to make him my intern.

I wanted to introduce him to Zinhle.

I let him into my f*cking house.

- I'm telling you so we can tell the cops.
- No, you won't say a word.

Not to the f*cking police, not to anyone.

You hear me?

Look at me.

I will take care of it, Nandi.

I will take care of everything.

And I mean...

everything.

I'm sorry.
