[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Theron] I'm telling you, he's dead.

I don't care where you are
or what you're busy with. Get here. Now!

[exhales shakily]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

- [Chyna] I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- No, leave it! Don't clean anything.

You. Out.

Sweetie...

[sniffs]

What happened here?

No, I... I don't know. I...

I came in, and he was lying,
and now he's dead. [sobs]

You didn't hear or see anyone?

[crying] No. No.

[sniffles]

No one?

[thudding]

[Chyna breathes shakily]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

Spread out.

[car alarm blaring, horn honking]

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

[Zenzi panting]

[tires screech]

[Joseph] Zenzi! Come!

Get in!

f*ck!

[pounds desk]

[line ringing]

Raymond.

Where are you?

I don't give a f*ck. I...

I don't care what you're doing.
I need you here now.

Good.

[sighs]

Call the police.

Tell them Blessing's dead.

It was an overdose.

And clean the whole place down,
you hear me?

[Joseph] What the hell happened?

It was supposed to be simple.

You were to hand him the cocaine
and leave.

Can you stop the car, please?

How did this become so messy, Zenzi? Huh?

- What the f*ck did you do?
- Just stop the car please.

Answer me!

He asked me about Max, and then...

Can you stop the car?
I'm not feeling well.

You know, for a cleaner,
you make a lot of mess.

[in Afrikaans]
Just don't mess in my truck.

[in English] Where's the g*n?

Leave me.

[Joseph] Hey,
where's the f*cking g*n, Zenzi?

I put it somewhere safe.

For my own insurance.

If you don't tell me where it is,
I swear...

Do you want me to throw up in your car?

[Joseph] f*ck!

[cashier] Hey.

[breathes shakily]

[cashier] Will that be all?

Do you need help?

[whispers] No.

[cashier] Are you okay?

[Zenzi] I'm fine.

You have something on your sleeve.

[Zenzi] It's, uh...

juice.

[choking]

- [Ernie screams]
- [horn sounds]

- [g*n fires]
- [Jackson screams]

Jackson! Jackson!

[crying]

[crying, sniffling]

Max?

[in Tswana] Has anyone been
around the house?

Offered to help out with money?

[in English] No.

[in Tswana] Who?

[in English] And why?

I don't know.

[in Tswana] I'm working on a plan...

[in English] ...you know, to sort us out.

I hope you're not doing
anything dangerous, Max.

[chuckles]

You've been in here almost two years.

Your lawyer said you'll be out soon.

Ah, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me. Listen to me.

I've been a terrible husband to you

and a terrible father
to this beautiful boy.

And I promise you, I promise you guys

I'm gonna do better, okay?

I promise you.

[in Tswana] I will never take you
or our beautiful son for granted again.

[in English] And this Mr. Handsome.

We love you.

My boy.

So...

[in Tswana] ...while Daddy is gone,

you must protect the house
and your mother, okay?

So, you're going to take care
of the house, right?

Then, what else
are you going to take care of?

And Mom.

[all laugh]

[in English] That's my boy. That's my boy.

- [buzzer sounds]
- [door opens]

[exhales shakily]

[sniffles]

[Lyners] We've got another stiff.

At Blessing Jali's club. Apparently an OD.

- It's Jali's body.
- [Morkel] sh*t.

[sighs]

[dramatic music plays]

[sighs heavily]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[siren sounds]

[whispering] Hey, we must go.

- I want to buy something.
- Huh-uh. Come. There's no time.

- Hey, I just wanna get Raymond's g*n back.
- And then what?

Then I let you go.

I need the g*n.

Why can't you follow orders? Huh?

Listen, Zen, I...

[man clears throat]

Everything okay here?

[laughs] Yeah, thanks.

We just couldn't decide
between chocolate and strawberry milk.

Would you mind coming with me, sir?

What for?

Just come, sir.

[Joseph] Sure.

[under breath] sh*t.

Are you sure you're okay?

Is your husband hurting you?

Look, I know that sergeant.
He can protect you.

I'm fine.

[Joseph] Hey!

Where are you going?

Come join us, ma'am.

I was just telling the sergeant here
that we had a bit of an argument.

[sergeant] And your bruises, ma'am?

Was this part of the argument?

No. I had a fight
with a woman at work, and...

he offered to take me home.

Can we have a moment, please?

Sure, sir. [sighs heavily]

Look...

are you sure you're okay?

He was just being a good guy.

[sighs heavily]

Okay.

You have a safe trip home.

[sighs] Let's go.

[sergeant sighs]

[Joseph exhales]

[ignition cranking]

Come now.

[ignition cranking]

f*ck!

[ignition cranking]

You forgot something.

Thank you, sir.

[whispering] Take better care
of your stuff.

[sighs exasperatedly]

[sighs]

[engine starts]

[chatter on police radio]

[police officer] Sir?

- You can't be here.
- I'm his lawyer.

Sir, please.

[Chyna] And, like, obviously,
I don't know how he died.

But you can see
there's drugs on the table and...

And he was drinking.

[Theron] Where the hell...

I came as soon as I could.

You took your sweet time about it.

Listen, we need you to step up
and run things from here.

Something doesn't smell right.

I don't think he OD'd.

First, Jackson. Now, Blessing.

Anything you want to tell me, Raymond?

What are you getting at, Ruben?
You think I had them k*lled?

Don't be ridiculous.

Despite our differences,
I wouldn't dare take out Blessing.

Everybody knows there's a price to pay
if you take out one of your own.

Don't forget that.

[inhales sharply] But if I find out
that you had anything to do with this,

you'll pay the price.

[inhales sharply]

Let's get to work.

[line ringing]

[voicemail] This is Joseph.
You know what to do.

[voicemail beeps]

Why are you not answering
your f*cking phone? Where are you?

[gentle music playing]

[knocking on door]

[Ngesi] Zenzi, are you up?

Zen...

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone ringing]

[Joseph] Can you please
switch off your phone,

or put it on vibrate, or something?

[ringing stops]

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Hi. Look, you don't know me.
I got your number from your sister.

Who's this?

Uh, I'm one of her employers.

Uh, Zenzi gave me your number
a while back.

She was in a bit of trouble,

and she's supposed
to be staying here overnight.

But when I woke up,
she was missing this morning.

I just...

But I was with her last night.
I was talking to her.

[Ngesi] Can we meet?

I think she's in trouble.

You've been getting phone calls
from an unknown number,

and no one speaks on the other side?

How do you know about that?

Is it Max?

No.

It was me.

You?

[breathes deeply]

I... [sighs]

What I want to tell you is very difficult.

I was responsible for Esulu's death.

Well, not me, but... [sighs]

Max didn't m*rder Yazid. Blessing did.

What do you want me to do?
Sit and rot in here?

[Joseph] They made a deal
with Max to take the fall.

But they never kept
their side of the bargain

to look after you and Esulu,

and Max found out.

I told the Syndicate
Max was going to blackmail them...

f*ck!

[Joseph] ...about taking the fall
for Blessing,

'cause he was pissed
that they neglected you.

They wanted to get back
at Max for threatening them.

So we were sent to rough you up,

to scare you, so Max would know

his family could be harmed
if he threatens the Syndicate.

[Blessing] Don't f*ck up again.

[Joseph] We really didn't want to.

I didn't want to.

Go.

Now.

Time to get into bed now, okay?
You'll finish this in the morning.

Please, Mama, I'm almost done.

- Five more minutes.
- Okay.

Okay.

[glass breaks]

[thudding]

[Esulu breathing heavily]

[whispering] Okay, come.

Get under the bed.

Don't make a sound, okay?

Shh.

[door crashes open]

Hey! No!

We didn't mean to harm Esulu.

But it wasn't me who shot him.

- Who shot him?
- [phone vibrating]

Who k*lled my son?

[phone beeps]

Boss?

Why the f*ck
are you not answering your phone?

Sorry. Uh, the signal is bad here.

Okay, so you listen,
and you listen clearly.

Get the g*n from her
and then get rid of her.

Say again?

You heard me the first time.

She knows too much.

We can't risk
Ruben getting his hands on her.

And, Joseph...

if you fail, don't come back.

[Joseph sighs]

[phone beeps]

[sinister music playing]

[phone unlocks, beeps]

[line ringing]

Yeah, Lyners, get me contact details
for Enrico Booysen's wife.

I need to talk to her urgently.

[phone beeps]

You still haven't answered me.

Zenzi, please, give me the g*n.

No.

- [Joseph sighs]
- [Zenzi] I want to know who k*lled my son.

[Joseph tuts, sighs heavily]

Okay, I'll tell you,
but only if you give me the g*n, okay?

Why did we stop here?

The g*n, Zenzi.
We are running out of time.

[menacing music playing]

- Zenzi!
- I've put it somewhere safe, okay?

[Joseph sighs heavily]

How do I know you're not going to k*ll me
when I give it to you?

They want you dead.

But I won't k*ll you
if you give me the g*n.

I'll just say
I buried your body somewhere.

Why should I trust you?

'Cause Max was my best friend.

[sighs]

Hey, hey, hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Don't touch me.

[both grunting]

- [g*n fires]
- [Zenzi gasps]

f*ck.

[Zenzi panting]

[Morkel] Thank you, Mrs. Booysen.

I'm sorry to bother you.
I won't keep you long.

[in Afrikaans] Um, please, sit. It's fine.

- [Morkel sighs]
- [Alice clears throat]

[in English] Are you leaving?

Oh. [chuckles]
We were gonna sell the house.

[clears throat] Sorry.

Okay.

Um...

Would it be okay if I go through
some of your husband's belongings?

Um, uh... What... what... what belongings?

Specifically his phone.
Do you still have it?

Yes. Yes, I do.

[Morkel] Could I see it?

Oh.

Thanks.

Uh, do you have the PIN?

Uh, the...

No. No, no, no, I don't know his PIN code.

Could you find it somewhere?

Um, sorry, Detective, but what exactly
is this in connection with?

It's nothing.
It's just standard procedure.

Time and triangulation.

Okay. Um, yeah, I will look for it, but...

as long as his phone comes back.

Because I'm still paying for it.

Tell you what. Why don't you hold onto it
until you find the PIN?

- But then contact me, please.
- Okay, sure. Thank you.

[Morkel sighs] Thanks.

[door opens, closes]

Please excuse the mess.

Usually, Zenzi...

[sighs]

I think your sister needs our help.

She's been struggling
to make ends meet, and...

she left some of her things
in the spare bedroom.

Maybe we should leave it here
for when she comes back.

[Ngesi] Hmm.

I hope she does come back.

I'll find her.

[phone buzzing and ringing]

Sorry.

[phone beeps]

Hello?

Oh. Okay.

Yes.

Now?

Okay. I'll be there.

- Was it her?
- [Naledi] No. A Detective Morkel.

Says he wants me
to come to the police station

to show me something.

Has he found Zenzi?

No. But he's also looking for her.

- [Naledi inhales]
- Please keep me updated.

Oh, you're not gonna finish your tea?

No, I'm... I'm a coffee person.

[door opens]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Zenzi panting]

Zenzi!

Let's talk this through, Zenzi.

Zenzi!

You gotta trust me, Zenzi.
I'm your only way out of this.

[phone ringing]

[g*n firing]

[Zenzi exclaims]

[screams]

[Zenzi] Okay.

Time to get into bed, okay?
You'll finish this in the morning.

[door crashes open]

[Zenzi exclaims]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Joseph] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Relax. Take it easy.

[Zenzi panting]

Mama.

- Mama. Mama.
- Go. Go back.

[man] Hey.

Hey!

[Joseph] Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Relax yourself, eh.

[grunts]

[man in Afrikaans] Subdue the woman.
What's wrong with you?

[in English] Leave my mom alone.
I'm the man of the house.

Please, leave him.
Esulu, put the g*n down, please.

[thudding]

[g*n fires]

- [Zenzi] No!
- [man] f*ck!

[Zenzi cries] Esulu, no!

- Zenzi!
- [Zenzi crying]

Alice! Call an ambulance.

Quickly!

Quickly, Alice.

[crying] Hello?

We need an ambulance now.

- Please, now.
- The ambulance is almost here, okay?

Alice!

[shushing]

Esulu.

[in Tswana] Esulu, baby.

[in English] Stay with us, okay?

Esulu.

Esulu.

- [doctor] Sorry, ma'am.
- [Zenzi] No.

Esulu!

[mournful music playing]

[phone ringing]

[ringing stops]

- [inaudible]
- [mournful music continues]

- [inaudible]
- [mournful music continues]

[Zenzi] My poor baby.

He wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Why wouldn't they just leave him alone?

It was me. [sobbing]

He was trying to protect me.

[Max cries]

[Zenzi] What am I going to do?

[sobbing]

[Joseph] Hey, Zenzi.

[Zenzi breathing shakily]

You made me do this, okay?

[g*n fires]

[spits] You f*cking b*tch.

[g*n fires]

[Joseph grunts]

Uh-oh.

[grunts]

So, you say that you don't have
a close relationship with your sister?

Why not?

We kind of grew apart.

Well, that doesn't help us much. [sighs]

- Where do you think she could be?
- I don't know.

I...

wish I knew her better.

Well, maybe there is something
you can help us with. [sighs]

Jeez, what is this?
Some sort of snuff movie?

Why didn't you warn me
before showing me this?

Sorry, ma'am. Can... can you just focus
on the video, please?

[mouse clicks]

Lady in the coat. [sighs]

That your sister?

I can't really tell.

Take a closer look.

Is it your sister?

No.

Um, it's definitely not my sister.

[inhales] Look, is there anything else?

Am I being held here?
Do I need to know my rights?

No.

Thanks for the movie.

[Naledi clears throat]

[Alice sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[phone dialing]

Um...

[phone dialing]

[line ringing]

[sighs heavily]

Um... [gulps]

D-d-detective Morkel? It's Alice.

Um, I found the PIN for Enrico's phone.

B-but there's something
that I think you need to see.

Make sure that the bar's fully stocked
for tonight. We need a good night.

Put on a couple of bar specials.

Oh, and get some of those sexy ladies
with the cowboy belts. [chuckles]

I'll do so. All right, sir.

- [Raymond sighs]
- [phone dialing]

[line ringing]

[voicemail] This is Joseph.
You know what to do.

[phone beeps]

[sighs heavily]

[Joseph grunts weakly]

Who k*lled my son?

Was it Raymond?

[panting heavily]

[weakly] Max...

He's gonna take down the whole Syndicate.

I spoke to him yesterday.

Nobody knows.

Okay.

Okay, Joseph?

Hey.

What did Max say?

[swallows]

He said something about a small town.

Okay. Joseph. Hey.

Wake up, okay?

Where is he? Where's Max?

- Joseph. Hey.
- [gasping]
