[wistful music playing]

[water running]

- [tense music playing]
- [heartbeat]

- [screaming] Help me!
- [demonic screaming]

[screaming, crying]

[tense eerie music playing]

[theme music playing]

[theme music ends]

Mogomotsi.

[in Tswana] Are you okay? What happened?

[sighs] Okay. Wait, let me help you up.

[Keneilwe] What is it?

I heard a knock. What happened?

That was quick.

- What's going on? Are you okay?
- Mogomotsi.

[Veronica] You okay?

What happened?

[whispering] I don't know.

Hey man, you don't look too good.

[sighs] I must've blacked out.

- [tense music playing]
- [door creaks open]

- [rapid g*nf*re]
- [wistful choral music playing]

Mo, all these strange things
that have been happening to you.

[mobile phone ringing]

What's going on?

Careful.

- Hello?
- [tense music playing]

Are you sure?

[phone beeps off]

What's up?

[in Tswana] Mo, what is it?

[tense music playing]

It's our father.

[Keneilwe] What? No.

No.

- No, no!
- That's... It's okay.

No... [crying]

What? What's going on? What happened?
Is it uncle Si? Did they find him?

[Keneilwe wailing]

It's your grandfather.

[melancholic music playing]

- He's no longer with us.
- [Tlotlo sobbing]

[panting]

[mobile phone ringing]

f*ck.

Um,

Yeah?

- I'm on my way.
- [phone beeps off]

How did this happen, Sting?

My father is
supposed to be protected, right?

My entire family is
supposed to be protected.

Boss, we'll find out who's behind it.

- [yelling] My father is f*cking dead!
- [glass shatters]

[yelling] Do you understand?

The two of you were supposed to make
sure something like this doesn't happen.

[Mo] You know what, actually...

I'm starting to question
your function in this family.

Who the f*ck could've done this?

It's possible
Danny Steenkamp was involved.

[in Tswana] No, I don't think so.
He would've come for us directly.

Come at us head-on.

Okay then, who? Hm? Who?

Does this have to do with
Simon's disappearance also?

You have 24 hours to
find out who k*lled my father.

In the meantime, I want
increased security around my family.

Get the f*ck out of here.

[tense music playing]

Boss, the American was
snooping around Robin's house.

[sighs]

What was he looking for?

I don't know,
but whatever it is, he found it.

Find out what he was looking for
and get back to me.

And Leon, make sure this stays between us.

Copy.

[sighs]

Dad, you know, times like these
I wish uncle Si was around.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

[suspenseful music playing]

- [expl*si*n]
- [car alarm blaring]

[yelling] f*ck you!

f*ck you!

Drive.

[tense music playing]

Okay.

[in Zulu] Hello, Ma'am. Can I help you?

[in English] Ma'am, is everything okay?

[phone ringing]

Mo, stop calling me.

They shot him.

Who?

My father.

They shot him
and left him to die like a dog.


- Ma'am?
- [phone ringing in background]

Ma'am, is everything okay?

[tense music playing]

[sniffling]

Thank you for coming. [inhales]

[tense music continues]

[children chattering]

[Veronica] What?
Is that your favorite flavor?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Thank me, cause I got it.

- Taking?
- [Keneilwe] No.

We should thank
the person who made the chips.

Why do you always wanna fight with me?

- [Mo] Calm down, you guys.
- [young Keneilwe] Mm, I'm so bored.

What do you want to do?

Hmm...

Oh, I know. Let's play hide and go seek.

Oh, yeah. Start counting, Vero.

Why should I start counting?

Because you're the oldest.

Whatever.

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three, two, one.

Ready or not, here I come.

- Keneilwe?
- [tense music playing]

Mo?

[tense music playing]

Mo?

Keneilwe?

Keneilwe, I've got sweets.

- [indistinct eerie whispering]
- [demonic snarling]

[demonic screaming]

[spooky tense music playing]

[eerie screeching]

Mo?

[whispering continues]

[ghostly whispering and growling]

[eerie screaming]

[in Tswana] How many times have
I told you not to go in there?

I'm sorry.

- Do you ever listen to anything I say?
- I'm sorry.

Don't you dare open that door again,
do you hear me?

- Yes.
- Go to your room! Go on!

- [tense music playing]
- [whispering continues]

[wistful music playing]

[man] Almighty Father and our Lord.

We are so grateful
that you created us in Your own image.

Giving us gifts and talents to serve you.

We thank you for my brother's life.

A grandfather, a father, and a husband.

We thank you for all the years
you've given us to share with him.

Today we lift him up in honor
of the good that we saw in him,

and the love that we felt from him.

Oh, all-powerful Lord. Even though
Simon Masire is not here with us,

we ask you to bring
him back safe and sound.

We also please ask of You

that his children and his loved ones...

have the strength to leave him

in Your care,

and in the knowledge of eternal life.

We ask all these in the name
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

He's in a good place now, my child.

Son...

let's go.

[sniffling, sobbing]

[Mo] A little further away.
We'll see how we go about it.

I know you've already met,

but I don't know
if you still remember Veronica Masire.

Uncle Taledi.

Veronica?

My brother's daughter.

- It is her in the flesh.
- You don't say.

The last I saw of you,
you were not even my waist high.

- [Mo] With mucus running down her nose.
- [chuckling] Get out of here.

[all laughing]

I never thought I'd see you this old.

I never thought you were still alive.

Come here.

[Taledi laughing] Hmm.

My brother...

We're taking you

[congregation singing]

on your final journey.

Where we're
going to lay your last remains.

May you pass our regards
when you get there... Mogorotse.

To our grandparents and forbearers.
Rest in peace, Moromotse.

There is no strife
when the Lord is present...

[phone beeps]

[suspenseful music playing]

Glad you made it.

Oh it's a short trip to Gabs city
for a grieving brother.

You know Mo, the thought that someone can
come for one of us makes my blood boil.

But I'll promise you one thing, King.

We will get those m*therf*ckers.

I appreciate that.

I'm putting the deal on hold.

Look,

King, with all due respect to the dead,
I don't think we should do that.

Look, the longer
we put this thing on hold,

the higher the risk
of the gold being found.

[in Zulu] The problem we're faced with
is that we're being watched like a hawk.

If we knew
where you were keeping the gold,

we could help you protect
it from somebody stealing it.

That's not going to happen.

[mutters] Sure.

I'll touch base with you once we get back
to Johannesburg. Thank you for coming.

[groans] Hmm.

[tense music plays]

- Get inside.
- [Phumzi screaming]

The club is f*cking burnt, man!
Couldn't even recognize it.

- [sighs deeply]
- A waitress from across the building

saw a car parked around four a.m.

Three white guys, young.

Steenkamp.

- No, we can't be certain.
- [Veronica] Don't be naïve, Mo.

- Boss, I can do some digging.
- Yeah, do that.

- [yells] f*ck!
- [tense music playing]

What is it now?

Simon is gone for what, two minutes?

Two minutes! And things are
already falling the f*ck apart.

We'll fix this.

Will we? Huh? Really?

Because you...
you were supposed to be there with him.

Where the f*ck were you
when he needed you?

Okay, Tlotlo, calm down.
You cannot be fighting right now...

No, no. f*ck that, all right!

Things were perfectly fine
before you came back home from jail!

First I find out...

I had a sister that I barely even knew!

Now uncle Si is missing,
and my grandfather is dead,

and the club uncle Si
gave me is f*cking gone, man!

- [Mo] Listen, man, I do...
- f*ck! Jesus f*cking Christ!

- Let him go.
- [tense music continues]

He just needs someone to lash out to.

Yeah, he's right, though.

Perhaps I am to blame.

Mo.

Mogomotsi?

What exactly happened to Simon?

[wistful music playing]

[sighs deeply]

Simon had a mistress.

An American girl called Robin.

They had a child together.

Named him Sam junior.

Essentially, he was
hiding them from everyone.

She found out some things about Simon
that... that didn't sit well with her.

Things like what?

Whatever it is, she got so scared,

she took the boy,
went to Botswana without telling Simon.

There was this,
American assassin looking for her.

He wanted to take her out
for something she had done in her past.

What could she have been involved in?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

So, that's why
you don't think it was Steenkamp.

- Yeah.
- [tense music playing]

What does this have to do with Simon?

When I find out Simon was over there, I...

I went over to give him moral support.

Vero, um...

Simon had Mama's curse.

When he couldn't protect
his son and his girlfriend, he...

He resorted to, um...

To what?

To k*lling his own son.

[tense music continues]

Yeah. I'll tell her. Okay.

There's been a fire
at Masire's place. Arson.

Interesting.

No. I think someone is trying
to disturb the status quo.

Do you think
it has something to do with the gold?

Everything has to do with the gold.

[suspenseful music playing]

- [Gail] South African Police Service!
- sh*t.

Yo.

I don't think he's here.

Should we get a warrant?

- Another time.
- [suspenseful music continues]

Come on, Thuso. Where the f*ck are you?

Anything?

[in Zulu] I think this dog ran away.

[in English]
Let's get the f*ck out of here.

Hold up.

[dramatic music playing]

Come on, Thuso. Where the f*ck are you?

Let's go.

[panting]

[Thuso] Come on.

[panting]

sh*t.

[Gaxa laughs] Oh, yeah.

sh*t!

Thuso Tladi, you're under arrest
for armed robbery.

- Hey! Easy. f*ck.
- Oh, yeah. Were you going somewhere?

Yeah, just on a little vacation.

[Gaxa chuckles]
I've got a vacation for you.

Let's go.

There'll be one, two, three,
four men's dinner tonight.

[Gaxa chuckles]

Jesus.

Okay. Thank you.

You know why you're here?

I heard you waived
your right to a lawyer. Why is that?

[chuckling]

Is it because you know what they'll
do to you if they found out you were here?

Thuso...

We have a witness that can identify you
as being part of the armed robbery

that happened last week.

God, you think this is a joke?

[groans]

Her. Look at her.

Do you remember her?

Hmm?

I think he does.

You see, conspiracy to commit
armed robbery and kidnapping,

those are two very serious offences.

You're looking at life.

Unless you can help us.

Listen here, Goldilocks.
We don't give a sh*t about you.

We want the Masires.

- [Thuso groans]
- [Gaxa] Shh!

- I think he wants to talk.
- I think he does.

[panting]

Wanna help us?

["Shosholoza" by Nasi Tautona playing]

[click]

[tense music playing]

The person whom you're trying
to reach is currently unavailable.


Please leave a message after the beep.

- [beep]
- [tense music continues]

Coshwa.

[tense music playing]

- [sighs]
- [eerie whispering]

[in Tswana] I thought I was protected.

[eerie whispering]

I thought you were
going to protect me at all times.

Now look what has happened.

[in eerie voice] I told you... I need blood.

Or else, I'm going to take any
one of the Masires that I want.

[eerie whispering continues]

[wistful music playing]

Look, Angela...

I know what you're going to ask me.

But the truth is... nobody knows.

But I want you to know...

I'll do everything in
my power to find him.

Yeah, I know.

He's your brother, after all.

You know, I realized today...

that I have been so desperate
to find answers,

that I've been blaming
the people that love him.

I'm sorry.

No.

You don't need to apologize.

Oh, I do.

I've been selfish and,
I know your heart's in the right place.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Tlotlo] You called?

Look.
you will have your gold soon. Alright?

You know what the most
valuable commodity in life is?

- What?
- The most valuable.

What is it?

Look, we have a deal.

It's time.

- [upbeat music playing]
- [laughing]

Oh, so, my brother decides
to steal my father's car, right.

My dad was going to be gone
for a while, so he figures,

you know, take the car, take a girl
on a joy ride and have a good time.

Of course, he did. Of course, he did.

Of course, Simon Masire, right?
So, Keneilwe and I are at home.

Veronica was already gone at this point.

So we hear noises around the yard.

Yeah, get up naturally,
thought Simon's back,

I open the door... guess who I see?

- Your dad? [laughing]
- My dad. Ooh...

[both lsughing]

He gave Simon the biggest
a*s whipping of his entire f*cking life.

[both laughing]

Yeah, my brother... he was um,
forever the troublemaker, you know.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- [Angela laughing]
- Oh, I'll never forget it. [laughs]

Can you believe that we were once...

The most valuable commodity
in our lives right now is time.

You can't bring it back,

and you can't bring it forward.

Even the limited time we have left...

It's not guaranteed.

- What um... a thing?
- A couple.

- Well, a married couple.
- Married. Oh. Gosh!

It's pretty disgusting, right?

[both laughing]

I'll drink to that one.

Sure. Yeah.
But that was a long time ago, though.

- Mm, yeah.
- [Mo] Yeah.

[sighs deeply]
I heard about your grandfather.

What? Did you do it?

[scoffs]

I wish.

Maybe I would've been
more creative about the whole thing.

You know what's the most painful
thing about losing someone you love?

The pain never really goes away.

It gets better...

but it never really goes away.

Last thing, do you remember
where we first met?

- Yeah, of course I remember.
- Do you?

- Do you?
- Of course, I do.

- The bathroom of The Fast Lanes.
- The bathroom of The Fast Lanes. Yes.

[both laughing]

You had some guy pinning you
against the wall trying to beat you down.

- Yeah.
- I thought you needed rescuing, you know.

- So I came in...
- Yeah. I did.

Then you came in,
you thought you were this macho guy,

and then the next thing
he punched you in the face.

Yeah. And of course,
my brother came through and did what...

Of course, of course.

He saved the day. Go figure.

- [laughing]
- Yeah. Simon.

Yeah.

[wistful music playing]

I miss him so much.

Yeah.

I miss him too.

Hey. Hey, look, that's okay. Come here.

[both sigh]

I'll find him. I promise you.

Yeah?

I'll find him.

[soft music playing]

You and your family m*rder*d my father.

You took his life.

You took his time.

And you think gold will bring him back?

Tlotlo, no amount of gold can bring back

the time I could have
spent with my father.

[sighs deeply] Are we done?

We have a new deal.

Your life... or your father's.

[tense music playing]

What is this?

[clears throat] Hmm.

So the answer to
your question is no, Tlotlo.

We're not done.

We're not done.
