♪ Tell me in the night ♪

- ♪ In the end ♪
- Thank you so much for coming.

She's a beautiful bride, isn't she?

- [dramatic music playing]
- [indistinct chattering in background]

Alright, let me leave you two alone.
I'll go say hi to my sister.

Mogomotsi Masire.

Hey, I'm sorry... Do I know you?

No, you don't, but your brother Simon did.

Danny Steenkamp.

[camera shutters clicking]

Okay, so you have heard of me after all.

I don't recall sending
you an invite, Steenkamp.

What do you want here?

You know exactly what I want.

What was promised to me by Simon Masire.

- My gold.
- [tense music playing]

You finish the job as planned.

I don't have to highlight what's at
stake here if you don't deliver. Do I?

[indistinct chattering in the background]

Good. I'm glad we understand each other.

Oh, and congratulations, man.

Give the wifey my regards, okay?

You thinking what I'm thinking?

- Definitely.
- [tense music continues]

Um, friend of my father.

We might be looking
at the new King of Jo'burg.

[theme music playing]

[theme music crescendos to finish]

[trainer] Up.

[Veronica] Yes.

- Take a break.
- [Veronica] Okay.

- Have your water.
- [veronica] Cool.

What's up?

So, [scoffs] are you going to tell me?

[Veronica titters]

There's nothing to tell.

Vee, come on, it's been decades.

[in Tswana] Keneilwe, what do you want?

I want the truth.
I was devastated when you died.

Honestly, I never
stopped grieving for you.

[in English] I just only stopped dreaming
about you four years ago.

Come on, Vee. What happened? Tell me.

[Keneilwe] What happened?

Hey, baby,
would you wanna have a good time?

I want her.

- [huffs]
- [upbeat music playing]

[sighs]

- He says he wants you.
- [tense music playing]

- Go on.
- [high-pitched ringing]

Hey, he says he wants you. [huffs]

Hello, love.

Come in, I don't bite...
unless you want me to.

Let's go.

My brother passed away.
He left something behind.

[tense music playing]

[in Zulu]
I call upon you all great ancestors.

The Mermaid...

doesn't want to let go of you.
[yelling] Agree to it!

Yes, I agree.

You k*lled your own brother.

That is why you have inherited this curse.

It's just that my
brother wanted this thing.

[diviner exhales loudly]

I don't want it.

You can leave the Mermaid.

But if you do that,

you will lose everything you have.
All your luck will vanish.

Is that what you want?

[yelling]
Is that what you want? Answer me!

- [in English] And Lester?
- [tense music plays]

Kings,

I believe I don't always
have to keep reminding you

that when you see me...

you see Lester, okay?

All right.

[tense music continues]

[in Zulu] Gentlemen...

Jozi has no king.

- Who told you that?
- [tense music continues]

I don't need to remind you
of what's at stake here, do I?

[dramatic music plays]

You'll get your gold.

We'll get our money.

And then we don't have
to see each other ever again.

Good.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

It would be a shame
if our families were to go to w*r.

[suspenseful music playing]

[in Tswana] What's taking so long?

[in Zulu] Hold on. This thing is not easy, eh.

- [beeping]
- [dramatic music playing]

[tense music playing]

[mobile phone rings]

- Sting.
- [tense music playing]

I'm on my way.

I asked you a question.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to tell me the truth.

Why didn't the incense burn the other day?

I dunno.

[in Tswana] Mogomotsi, you're such a liar.

[in English] Something happened
and you're not telling me what it is.

I told you the truth.

What happened in Botswana?

[slurping]

Simon phoned me.
Told me he had everything handled, so...

I came back.

Wait, [scoffs] you're lying.

Something happened
and you're not telling me what it is.

Angela, please, man.

You know I want to
find Simon as much as you want to.

You're hiding something
and I'm going to find out what it is.

[dramatic music playing]

Your brother's wife
seems pretty tense with you.

[in Tswana] What's going on, Mo?

What are you not telling me?

[in English] I have to be somewhere.

Ah.

Masire secrets.

Nothing's changed.

Oh, wow.

Says the lady
who won't tell me where she's been

for the last couple of decades.

Amsterdam,

Accra, Nairobi, Gaborone City...

I did a short stint in Lusaka. You know.

Look, come on.
You know exactly what I mean.

If you had a chance to...

get away from everything in this family...

[in Tswana] are you saying
you wouldn't have used that opportunity?

Wherever you're going to
on that bike, I'm coming with you.

[tense music playing]

[exhales loudly]

Don't make me regret this.

Whatever you say, little bro.

That 'little bro'
stuff's got to come to an end.

You know how much I hate it.

[deep breathing]

[mobile phone ringing]

- [panting]
- [mobile phone continues ringing]

Yeah?

[male voice] He's making his move today.

What's the target?

- Unknown.
- [phone beeps off]

[ring back tone]

Basia,

Masire's making his move.

[dramatic music playing]

Meet me at the office.

[grunts]

[tense music playing]

[walkie talkie beeps]

Security check.
Truck one, this is Control Room.

[male voice1]
This is truck one, ready for departure.

[male voice2] Truck two,
we're ready to go.


Talk to me, what's going on?

- They're on the move.
- All right, sweet.

[in Zulu] The truck just went by.

[in Tswana]
Keneilwe, William, what's happening there?

[in English] I'm here, we're good.

- See you on the flipside.
- I'm out.

[tense music playing]

What?

Are you sure?

Let me get back to you.

What is it?

Apparently, two police
vans were reported stolen.

Who the hell
would want to steal two police vans?

Someone who wants to
make their target feel like they're safe.

Wait a minute.

Danny Steenkamp.

- Now you tell me, what business
- [telephone rings in background]

does the head of
a controversial diamond and gold family

have with a Masire, that's been
in prison for the last ten years?

Nothing.

Nothing? Maybe.

Unless you've got pending
business with someone else.

- Someone with more ambition.
- [tense music continues]

Simon Masire.

- Exactly.
- [phone continues to ring in background]

[Gaxa] sh*t.

- Send out an alert to all units. Now.
- I got you.

This is Detective Gaxa.

Sending out an alert to all cash
and mineral in-transit vehicles

with deliveries today.
Withhold everything.

- [dramatic music playing]
- [male voice1] All trucks, be advised.

High potential hijack threat.
Initiate protocol.


- This is not a drill.
- [indistinct conversation on comms]

[male voice2]
We've just lost both trackers.

Contact their support.

[beeping]

[Mo]
Alright gentlemen, let's rock and roll.

[man] Come on, man. Let's go!

[Gail] Sir, I've called in
aerial support, and I think that...

All right, listen up.
We're splitting ourselves into two teams.

One team goes on the M2,
and the other goes to the CBD.

The men we're after, boys and girls,

they're heavily armed
and they're dangerous

and they will not go down
without a fight. So do not hold back.

[tense music playing]

Basia, talk to me. What do we have?

SA Transit has two trucks
leaving less than 20 minutes ago.

Containing what exactly?

[yelling] Gold, Victor,
worth 500 f*cking million rand.

sh*t! That's the target.

So what are we going to do?

Get me the exact
locations of those trucks,

and get me every single
policeman we have in this city.

I'm on it. sh*t.

[yelling] f*ck!

[Gaxa yelling] f*ck!

[man1] Have we located those trucks yet?

[man2] Air support has been dispatched.

The truck just passed by. Over.

[Leon] Alright let's go! Let's go!

- [Leon laughs]
- [suspenseful music playing]

- [beeping sound]
- Come on!

Come on.

What?

[Leon laughing]

[Gaxa] Be advised,
suspect is armed and dangerous.


Get out of the truck.

- Get out of the truck.
- [suspenseful music continues]

I'm not gonna tell you again.

[tense music playing]

[grunting]

[Veronica in Tswana] Hey, are you sure
you know what you're doing there?

[Sting sighs]

[Sting in English]
Whose f*cking idea was it anyway?

Hey, how're we looking?
We're running out of time.

- [panting]
- Okay, leave him do his thing.

[beeping]

Keneilwe, Keneilwe, how are we looking?

We're almost done. Over.

[car horn hoots]

Wait.

Sting, what's taking so long?

We're on it. We're on it.

[in Tswana] Hey, why are you so slow?

[in English] Relax bro.
I've got this. Relax. I got it.

- sh*t.
- [suspenseful music continues]

[distant chopper]

[Veronica]
Mo, do you hear that? Mogomotsi?

We're running out of time.

- We have go go.
- [Mo] Yeah, we have to go.

[Mo] Tlotlo, let's go!

- Come, let's go!
- Yeah, I've got it.

[Sting] Let's go.

[siren blaring]

- [Goon] I got it! Let's go!
- Come on, let's go!

A f*cking helicopter.

We need to get off the main road, now.

[man1] sh*t, look!
One of the trackers is back on.

[man2] Which truck is it coming from?

[man1] That's weird. Both of them.

[Gaxa]
All units be advised, we have them now.

Moving south of the city.

We have them, boys and girls.
[yelling] We have them! Let's go!

I think we lost them.

- Basia, where the hell are you?
- [suspenseful music continues]

I'm coming in on Main Road.

They've just made a left turn,
going down a one-way.

Meet me on the other side.

[suspenseful music continues]

[tense music continues]

All units, we have them surrounded.

- Approach with caution.
- Roger.


f*ck, we did it bro.

- We did it.
- We did it.

Let's get the f*ck out of here. Let's go.

Yeah, let's go.

sh*t.

What the... f*ck.

- [dramatic music playing]
- [gate creaks]

[yelling] f*ck!

Doesn't make sense.

f*ck it!

They switched the trucks.

We've been chasing empty trucks all along.
[snickering]

The real gold could be
in Cape Town, for all we know.

f*cking hell.

- We should...
- [tense music playing]

[yelling] Tlotlo. Hey! Hey!

- Tlotlo! Hey!
- [g*nsh*t]

[whimpers]

- [wincing, grimacing]
- [helicopter whirring overhead]

The next one's in your f*cking head!

Try me.

Where's the other f*cking driver?

[car horn hooting]

Guys, be careful.
There's police everywhere.

- Okay?
- All right. Cool, cool.

- Oh, sh*t!
- What?

- We have company.
- [growling noises]

[demonic growling]

Alright, let's get out of here.
Come with me.

See you there.

Let's try this again.

Where is the other driver?

[groaning, grunting]

[Ayanda wincing]

[screaming]

- [yelling] Look at me!
- f*ck you, man.

- Look at me.
- [Ayanda] sh*t.

I'm gonna make sure that your dead body

is on tomorrow's headlines
if you don't talk to me.

[Ayanda groaning] sh*t!

- [in Zulu] You see now, Ayanda, my boy.
- [groaning]

You should've just told
me what I wanted to hear.

- Okay.
- [yelling] Where the f*ck is he?

Okay! Somewhere there by the scrapyard,

Buthelezi Street.

Please don't k*ll me, bro.
Please don't k*ll me. Please.

- Please. [groaning]
- See?

That was easy, Ayanda.

f*ck. [thuds]

That simple.
You f*cking talk, then we move on.

What took you so long?

Who's this?

This is our ace in the hole.

You ready to work?

Get in there.

Veronica, we're in position. Pull in.

[upbeat music playing]

- [singing in distance]
- [mobile phone chimes]

This is the last known location.

- Are you sure?
- Positive.

- [suspenseful music playing]
- [camera shutters clicking]

sh*t stain! Hey, sh*t stain.
How far are you?

As amusing as your linguistic quips are,
it's not going to make me work any faster.

I don't give a f*ck
how you feel, hurry up!

Back off and let me just do my job.
Thank you so much.

[Mr.Jean]
Basic principles... the basic ones,

will take me two years
to explain that to you.

[yelling] So give me a break,
and let me finish what I'm doing!

Back off or this is not going to get done!

- [demonic growling]
- [suspenseful music continues]

[sighing]

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm... fine.

[sighing deeply]

- [machine beeping]
- [suspenseful music continues]

[sighs deeply]

He f*cking opened it. He opened it.

Good job, Sir.

Pity we met under these circumstances.

[yelling] Tlotlo! f*ck.

Hey!

- Tlotlo!
- [Tlotlo groans]

Hey!

Tlotlo!

sh*t. f*ck.

[man] Hello, no one is
available to take your call.


Please, leave a message after the tone.

[beep]

[demonic growling]

[indistinct radio conversation]

Yep, hi.

Yeah, he's working. We're almost done.

[suspenseful music playing]

[mobile phone ringing]

Basia.

I'm on the way.

f*ck!

Come on, Tlotlo. Answer the phone.

Turn around, turn around, man. f*ck.

Go. Let's go to the next truck. Let's go.

What the f*ck are you looking at?
Go, sh*t stain.

sh*t stain,
open the truck, get the gold out.

Hurry up!

What are you doing? Turn around.

I've got a pregnant wife at home.
You want to sh**t me, sh**t me.

sh*t stain, hurry up.

Hello?

sh*t stain, open the f*cking safe.

Okay? Open it. Stop playing with me.

You...

It's open.

You're making a big mistake here, son.

No, you're making the mistake here.

What, you didn't think
you got no enemies left? Simon's gone.

And this is a new world,
old man. Our world.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Just, just stop!

I've had enough of you,
waving this g*n in my face!

You're just a kid
who can't even speak English properly!

I've got two masters degrees! A f*cking...

Enough!

Sorry about that,
but he was f*cking annoying.

[Goon scoffs] Thinking you're the man?

We are here now.
We're taking over, m*therf*cker.

What? Put the g*n down.
I'll blow his f*cking head off.

I'm not playing with you.
Tell her to put the g*n down.

I'll f*cking k*ll him.

Come on, stop f*cking around.

[Goon] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Now, come join your brother.

- [Goon] Come on.
- [tense music playing]

Yeah, I've got the Masires.

I'll send someone.

Sharp. [scoffs]

You guys thought
you could run sh*t forever.

Mm-hmm.

What the f*ck you think this is, huh?

Don't play with me.
The new kings are in town, you hear...

- [g*nsh*t]
- [groans] Ah!

Check out the place.

I told you were
making a big mistake, you f*ck.

[in Tswana] Where is Tlotlo?

That boy has just disappeared.

- [Mo] Something is wrong.
- Okay, this is not the time to speculate.

Let's get the gold
and get the f*ck out of here.

[in Xhosa] From now on,
we are doing things my way.

- You hear?
- [suspenseful music playing]

[grunts]

[groaning]

Hey.

[in Zulu] Yeah, get in the car.

[Tlotlo groans]

[Tlotlo in English] What the f*ck?!

What?

Something happened to Simon.

Something happened between you and Simon.

- You'll tell me when you're ready.
- [bike engine revs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[demonic growling, hissing]

[whispering voices]

[demonic screeching, whispering]

[yelling] Help! Help!

[screaming, moaning]

[ominous theme music]
