02x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

- [tense music playing]
- [traffic noises]

Hey, hey.

I've got you, baby.

Are you okay? [chuckles]

[Mimi sighs]

You know I'll always take care of you.

- I know.
- [traffic noises]

[muffled shouting]

My dad asked you
to k*ll somebody very close to me.

I'm not going to
let that happen, superman.

You see, the days of him
taking the people I love away from me...

those days are over.

[muffled screaming]

[eerie theme music playing]

[theme music ends]

[tense music playing]

[traffic noises]

[door creaks open]

[door closes]

[in Tswana] You know,
this boy isn't here. He's gone.

Tlotlo's not in the house,

after I very specifically told him not
to leave the house till further notice.

Uncle Taledi took my wife, but now
I have to worry about this boy as well.

Do you think this
place is safe, Mogomotsi?

- [hesitates] Yeah, I mean...
- [huffs]

I'm just saying maybe,

Tlotlo doesn't feel safe being here.

What do you mean?

- [in English] I've got the best security.
- [Keneilwe snickering] Oh, wow!

Well, if you've got
something to say, just say it.

[pensive music playing]

Sometimes people are in danger
from their own families.

The very same person you trust the most
can just sh**t you like a stray dog,

in the middle of Gabarone.

Like you have no one who loves you.

I didn't expect this from you.

Not you, Mo! Not you!

Simon took two of my babies. Two!

[in Tswana] How do you step
in those shoes? How do you do that?

[in English] How much more of Masire blood
do you want to give to this thing?

- How much more must we lose?
- [wistful music playing]

You know what...

I hope Tlotlo stays away from you.

As far away from you as he can.

[in Tswana] Please leave me in peace.

- [crickets chirping]
- [tense music builds and then fades]

[siren blaring in distance]

[sobbing]

[sniffling]

[exhaling sharply, sniffling]

- [tense music playing]
- [machine beeping]

[groans]

f*ck!

[in Zulu] Oh, [chuckles] the main man.

Is this you? I'm surprised you can stand.

The doctors are really amazed.
They say this is a miracle.

[in English]
You should consider yourself lucky.

Why?

[in Zulu] Firstly, you're still alive.

[in English] Two, you should see this
as an opportunity to redeem yourself.

- Make what was wrong right.
- [pensive music playing]

What is it?

[in Zulu] Stop playing dumb, Thuso.
You know what I'm here for.

[in English]
I'm here to offer you protection.

Mogomotsi Masire tried to have you k*lled.

To shut you up for everything you know.

It's starting to sink in now, huh?

Yeah, let's be honest,

Thuso, between you and me.
We both know the truth.

You're living on borrowed time.

I'd also be trying to run
from the hospital if I were you.

- You can't protect me.
- I can protect you.

And I will.

All you have to do,
is tell me everything you know

about the gold heist
and I'll take care of the rest.

I'll get you to a safe house,
a location of your choosing.

You can start your life from scratch.

- Fresh start.
- [pensive music continues]

Far away...

where no one can get to you.

- Hey.
- [in Zulu] Why should I trust you?

Because besides me, there's
no one else who can keep you alive.

You go out there and you're dead.

[tense music playing]

Think about it.

Don't be an idiot, take the deal.

Stay alive.

Or you can go to prison,
where the Masires can get to you.

And I guarantee you,
they're not going to f*ck up this chance.

- So what's it going to be?
- [tense music builds]

I tried.

Wait.

[foreboding music plays]

I'll do it.

Good.

[Leon] Tlotlo, you don't want to do this.

Tlotlo, you are not a k*ller.
You and I both know this.

[Mimi]
Just tell us where they're keeping her.

- Keeping who?
- Menzi's daughter!

How the f*ck must I know?

Don't act dumb, alright?
It's f*cking insulting.

She's dead.

- Bullshit!
- Why would I lie?

[Tlotlo]
Because we know Mo is keeping her alive.

So the sooner you tell us where she is,

the sooner you get
the f*ck-up out of here.

Why? Listen to me.

Why would he do that?

How the f*ck should I know, Leon? Hmm?

Maybe it's the same reason why
he had you try to k*ll Thuso.

Thuso? Thuso's a f*cking snitch!
Thuso's turned f*cking state witness!

f*cking bullshit, man!

And how do you know this?

Huh? How do you know that right now
he's not singing like a f*cking b*tch?

Within an hour, all the cops in
Jozi are going to be after your father.

[in Zulu]
Babe, listen, don't listen to him.

Tlotlo, listen to me,
your father needs me right now.

This whole Zaza thing,
this is a waste of time.

I can see right here right now,

you guys are making
this up as you go along. f*ck sakes!

[Mimi grunts]

You've got three seconds.

One...

- two... [clicks g*n]
- [Tlotlo] Mimi.

[c*ck crows]

[horse neighing]

[tense music playing]

[in Tswana] Thank you for meeting me.

[in Afrikaans]
You have the guts to show your face here!

I should have them cut up
and hung at my gate...

Annamarie, that's enough.

[in English] She's right though.

Showing up here, outnumbered, unprotected.

[Steenkamp] You're either crazy or stupid.

What do you want?

[in Afrikaans] I think he wants to die.

I say give him what he wants.

[in English] Is she right?
Is that what you want? Hmm?

I know you think
I k*lled your son, but I didn't.

I do know who did it, though.

And I have proof.

[in Tswana] I'll blow his brains out,
just give me the order.

Hold on a bit. Relax.

- [in English] Who gives a f*ck who did it?
- [tense music playing]

My son is dead.

And I still don't have
the gold you promised me.

You'll get your gold.

What's the catch?

Make sure it doesn't
land in the wrong hands.

That's the catch.

Whose hands?

The ones who k*lled my boy?

Hmm?

[tense music playing]

As discussed,
once the gold is within our possession,

it will be split accordingly.

Obviously, our family is
going to take the lion's share,

but rest assured,

if everyone plays their part,
we will be expediently generous.

Lastly...

are your men in place?

Of course.

I need specifics.

If Aliko Bajo has said it is, then it is.

No need to undermine anyone here.

- Nobody is.
- [tense music builds]

We know how
important you are to this operation,

and you'll both be rewarded accordingly,

once Jo'burg is firmly in our hands.

I want control of all
the drug shipments to Jo'burg.

The distribution networks,

and a good part of the end sale.

[staccato tense music playing]

- [Taledi] That's not what we agreed on.
- Done.

What?

You heard me.

Half the shipments and 80% distribution.

The rest is ours.

What about Masire?

Ah, he won't be an issue.

Most of his men are either dead,
in jail, or have fled.

He doesn't have an army.

[Veronica] Mr. Turner,
can we trust you with our little request?

Just make sure I get my share.

Or what?

Or my list will be... a lot longer.

You don't want to be on my list.

Veronica, give us the room.

Something I should be worried about?

[in Tswana]
Stop asking too many questions. Leave us.

Once the gold is safely in our possession,

I want you to k*ll Turner
and everyone of the Masire family...

- [tense music playing]
- including Veronica.

I don't want any of them

coming to challenge me
once I take over Johannesburg.

[dramatic music builds and ends]

All right, listen up.

[tense music playing]

We have warrants of arrest
for the entire Masire crime family.

But it doesn't mean sh*t.

Our focal point will still be
Mogomotsi Masire for the orchestration

and the execution of
the SA Mineral Transit heist.

There is a catch.

For these arrests to
land in the court of law,

we need rock-hard f*cking evidence.

I'm talking evidence in the form of cash
and evidence in the form of gold.

Now, after gathering enough intel
from my man on the inside,

cause somebody has to
f*cking do the work...

we have reason to
believe that the Masire family

plan to exchange the cash
for the gold bars today.

Now you know what that means.

Mulaudzi,

it means your team
has to be on their A f*cking game.

Yes, Sir.

I'm not taking excuses this time.

The men we're referring to
are highly dangerous.

They will not think twice.
They will blow your head off.

So we need to fight back.

We show them no respect in that regard.

The meeting point is a locked-off road
that is still under construction.

- You know what that means, Sergeant Dumi.
- Yes sir.

It means you cannot tell me
that civilians were in the way.

That is no longer an excuse.

Team A.

I need Team A on the south east flank,

and I need Team B on the north flank.

I don't need to remind you what
happens to any member of this team

that doesn't pull their weight, do I?

[officers] No, Sir.

You remember Stan?

[male officer] Yeah.

You remember Stan?

- Don't be Stan.
- [tense music continues]

Let's get to work.

[indistinct chatter]

[blows noisily through mouth]

- [melancholic music playing]
- [crickets chirping]

- [young Simon in Tswana] Leave me alone.
- Hey, get off your brother!

Always remember that in life,
you'll always have arguments.

But never let anything
or anyone get between you guys, okay?

Family comes first.

I hope you also heard me, right?
Family comes first.

- [cricket chirping]
- I broke my promise to you, brother.

I made a promise
that nothing will ever come between us...

and our family.

I failed you.

But I promise you now...

it is not a mistake I'm
going to ever make again.

- [g*nsh*t]
- [grunts, groans]

- [panting, groaning]
- [tense music playing]

I want you to tell me the truth.

I want you to confess, Mogomotsi.

[tense music continues]

I know that your mother was a m*rder*r,

and Simon k*lled her for her power.

That you were arrested
for the heist ten years ago.

And that Simon took everything...

including your son,

and the woman that you loved.

You planned your revenge.

Made him trust you again.

And that's what you did,
when the moment came...

you k*lled him.

This was revenge, wasn't it?

[yelling] Admit it!

Admit it, dammit!

- Admit it!
- All right, I did it!

I did it.

But I had no choice, Angela.

I didn't have a choice.

I k*lled my own brother, it's true.

I k*lled my father's son.

But I had no choice.

[inhales]

The curse wanted a sacrifice.

A sacrifice he wasn't willing to give,

but when Robin's past caught up to her
and Sam Jnr...

he went to Botswana
to try and protect them,

but he was overpowered.

Instead of sacrificing himself...

he k*lled his own son.

[Angela sniffling]

I k*lled him.

I wanted to put an end to this curse.

It has been in our family for decades.

I did it to protect my son, Tlotlo.

I did it to protect my unborn child.

I did it to protect all the Masires
of the future generations.

It wasn't until
I realized it was all in vain.

[voice breaking] What do you mean?

As you can see...

[eerie whispering voices, growling]

- the Mermaid lives in me.
- [whispering continues]

[Mermaid in Tswana]
I'm going to take one of you tonight.

As in tonight.

Please don't do this to me. Please.

As in tonight!

[growling, piercing whispering]

I'm losing everyone in my family.
Please, I need your help.

You have failed to
deliver on what I wanted.

I'm asking for one last chance.

- You will get the child you want.
- [high pitched screeching]

Just grant me one last chance.

[eerie music plays]

Please, don't do this to me.

- [knock on the door]
- [tense music playing]

[tense music playing]

I've got something you're looking for.

Robin left it with Simon
in case something happened to her.

It has all the passwords to the account

you found in the FBI hard drive
you retrieved at Robin's house.

What do you want in exchange for that?

I want to talk business.

- [high pitched music playing]
- [traffic noises]

[tense music playing]

Are these all the men?

Yeah.

After the whole thing
with Bra Si dying and the police raid,

a lot of our guys have bailed on us.

Maybe it's a good thing.

[in Tswana] Look, with all due respect,

I don't have a good feeling
about this whole thing.

I don't think you should worry until
the last piece of the puzzle is in place.

- Like my brother used to say, have faith.
- [foreboding music plays]

Leon, where have you been?

We have a problem with Tlotlo.

I'll deal with that later.

[mobile phone ringing]

Yeah?

[Taledi] Kyalami Race Track.
Midnight. Bring me the gold.

If you want the gold,

you will find it in an old road
that has been reconstructed,

right outside of Soweto.

I'll send you the coordinates.

I think you're forgetting
that I have your precious wifie.

My location, my rules.
Take it or leave it.

- [siren blaring]
- [traffic noises]

You didn't have to be here.

- I wanted to be.
- [crickets chirping]

Who else is going to have your back?

You know, with Keneilwe,

Angela, and Tlotlo...

feeling the way they do about what I did...

I love you, sis.

What is it?

Nothing.

I don't remember
you telling me you love me.

[foreboding music playing]

Let the games begin.

[foreboding music fades]

[dramatic music playing]

Where's my wife?

The gold.

Let's just get this sh*t over
and done with.

It's nothing personal, nephew.

[in Tswana] I just hope you understand that.

- [engine starts]
- [tense music playing]

[tender music playing]

- You okay?
- [sighs] Yeah, I'm okay.

Leon, Sting,

- take my wife to safety, please.
- Boss, are you sure?

- Baby, are you sure?
- It's okay.

[dramatic music playing]

You can come back now.

Sorry, little brother, I can't do that.

- What are you doing?
- [dramatic music continues]

Something I've been wanting to
do since this family abandoned me.

What are you talking about?

I looked for you.

- I told you this.
- This is about what your father,

my brother,

did to me.

What are the Masires good for? Taking.

And leaving nothing for the rest of us.

My father...

your brother.

That man built this family
from the ground up.

He took this family
to unimaginable heights.

[yelling]
So what the f*ck are you talking about?

Your father stole what was meant for me.

And Simon took from me.

Simon saved you.

Simon saved himself and left me for dead.

You all did.

And now,

it's time we repaid the favor.

You're coming with us.

Let's go.

[dramatic music continues]

Move.

[man orders indistinctly]

- [g*nshots]
- [clamoring, shouting indistinctly]

[man] Go!

- [dramatic music playing]
- [tires screeching]

[in Tswana] You are not supposed
to feel guilty about anything.

[in English] I'm very proud of you.

- [tires screeching]
- [dramatic music builds]

[yelling] Where the f*ck is my gold?
Where is my gold?

Okay.

[yelling] Where is my gold?

[g*nsh*t]

[foreboding music playing]

k*ll him!

sh**t him!

What's wrong with you?

[Taledi]
When the gold is safely in our possession,

I want you to k*ll
everyone in the Masire family,

including Veronica.

You recorded me?

That was me, old school.

I told you to stay off my list.

Now look at you.

You f*cked up.

You disloyal b*tch!

You see, that's the difference
between you and us, Uncle.

And what's that?

You see, to us...

family always comes first.

[g*nsh*t]

[siren blaring]

[yelling] Get down!

[Gaxa] What have you done?

What have you done?
[yelling] What the f*ck have you done?!

What the f*ck have you done?

This as*h*le was
loyal to no one but himself.

[Gaxa]
Let's take them in, let's take them in!

[female voice on radio]

[yelling] Arrest them!

[female voice on radio]

[panting]

Surprise.

Let's take them!

You're under arrest.

We know that Taledi Masire is your father.

Now, drop the f*cking g*n.

[yelling] Put it down!

[in a lowered voice] Down!

- You're f*cking making a big mistake.
- Raise your hands.

Arrest him.

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say...

- [Gaxa yelling] f*ck!
- Silence.

There's something else we need to do.

Fine.

But remember that you and I...

we had a deal.

What deal?

Let's get out of here.

- [yells] Let's go!
- [dramatic music playing]

[poignant music playing]

[in a raised voice] [in Venda]
Hey, jailbirds, come here!

[in Venda] Hurry up!

- [chains clanking]
- [eerie music playing]

Move. Hurry up, man.

[in Venda] Hurry up, man.

This is not your mother's house.

[alarm beeps]

Go inside.

[in English] I'm looking for someone.

[in Tshivenda] Look, I don't know
how you do things back in Sun City,

but here you greet.

- [Zulu] Hello.
- [warder in Tshivenda] Hello.

The person I'm looking for,
we share the same surname.

I'm sure you know him.

He's expecting you.

Good.

[in Tshivanda] Get inside. Hurry up!

Come on.

[eerie whispering voices]

- [tense music playing]
- [eerie growling]

[witch doctor in Igbo] A frog doesn't hop
around in the day for no reason.

I, the chief priest, spirit above spirits,
I'll give you the power of all powers,

A frog doesn't hop
around in the day for no reason.

- [whispering voices]
- [eerie screeching]

I, the chief priest,
the spirit above all spirits,

I will give you this power. Impenetrable.

[in Tswana] We have work to do.

I've been waiting for you,

my child.

[in Igbo] Impenetrable.

[high pitched screeching] Hmm.

Impenetrable.

Blood must spill! Blood must spill!

Blood must spill!

[downbeat music playing]

♪ I need a hand. You have stayed alone ♪

[Angela] Tlotlo and Mimi's marriage
is still running strong.

[chuckles]

And little Mo has been
such a beautiful handful.

I guess, just like his father.

[Angela laughing]

And Phumzi is still processing it all,

and taking it day by day. But she's good.

Keneilwe, she thinks
she gave Lester too much information,

and blames herself for his disappearance.

But I've got her.

But who am I fooling?
You already know all of this.

Because I know that you walk
with us in spirit every single day.

I love you.

You'll always
be the ultimate king of Jo'burg.

[kissing]

Auntie, Auntie, you can't catch me.

Oh yes I can, little Si. [laughing]

Come here.

[sentimental music playing]

[indistinct voices
of Angela and little Mo]

- [prison door alarm blows]
- [metal clanks]

[wistful music playing]

- [Phumzi] Hi. [chuckles]
- Hi.

- Say hi to Daddy.
- Hi.

Hi.

We missed you.

I missed you too.

You know, it feels
so good to know that our son is safe,

and we don't have to look
over our shoulder anymore.

[eerie music playing]

[lively music playing]
