[bunniefuu]

‎[Gavin whistling]

‎-[Oom growls]
‎-[whistling ends abruptly]

‎[tense music plays]

Where's my water?

I forgot.

Okay.

Let's get down to business.

I'm here to help you
expand your drug trade.

Drugs? No, wrong number, lady.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I thought I was speaking to a man

who is expecting a 10,000
kilogram shipment of cocaine.

‎[Oom growls]

You have my attention.

‎-[Oom growling]
‎-[Mermaid shrieks]

The Mexican guy you're dealing with,

he's the middle man.

The small man.

Eduardo Perez, right?

We don't exchange names in this business.

Oh, I know the names.

-That's how I found out about you.
-[Mermaid chirps]

Do you want a bigger share of the profit?

Cut out the middle man.

And how do you propose I do that?

Alejandro Gonzalez.

That's the man you should be dealing with.

Perez gets his product from Gonzalez,
puts up a 70% markup and screws you over.

I can introduce you to Gonzalez.

-He's coming to Cape Town to meet with me.
-[Mermaid grunts]

-What's in it for you?
-[Oom grunts]

-Just looking out for an African brother.
-[Gavin huffs]

You strike me as someone who takes care
of those who look out for him.

‎[Oom growling]

[in Tswana] Resolve this matter
and I can give you all of the Masires.

‎[Oom speaks indistinctly]

[Vero] Looking forward
to doing business with you.

[Gavin] Likewise.

Do you still want that water?

I'll take a rain check.

‎[thrilling intro music playing]

‎[sirens wailing]

‎[electric alarm buzzing]

‎[sirens wailing]

‎[tense music playing]

Simon?

What are you doing here? [echoing]

Simon?

-[yells] Talk to me!
-[Simon] Vero.

‎[suspenseful music playing]

[yells] Vero!

[yelling] Vero!

Vero! [gasps]

‎[exhales]

‎[calm music playing]

‎[groans]

‎[groans]

-[Mo] I'm sorry.
-[Phumzi sighs]

Time we hit the road.

‎[sighs]

I might need a phone and a SIM card.

How are you going to get
a SIM card if you're not registered?

This is Jo'burg.
That's the easiest thing to do.

My only worry is finding a car.

I can arrange a car.

No, not your car.

We can't use it.

It's not safe, they'll trace it.

Not my car.

My boyfriend's car.

The one I was busy cooking
for when you rudely interrupted.

[in Zulu] He's got two cars.
I don't think he'll mind lending us one.

[in English] Is this a test?

Are you testing me?

Is that what you're doing?

Do you need a car, Mo, or not?

Not from your
f*cking boyfriend, that's for sure.

‎[sighs heavily]

‎[Sting groans]

‎[yawns]

[Leon] Yeah.

[Sting] It's been forever.

I think we go in now.

Did you see anybody come out?

No one.

Alright, we'll wait a while.
I think she's coming out now.

I can feel it, man.

Carrim.

Just in time to meet
my new business partner.

We had a very productive meeting.

-Carrim.
-[tense music playing]

Veronica Masire.

Carrim is our operations manager.

I didn't know
you needed an operations manager

in the drug business.

Every business needs
an operations manager.

Well, I have to get going.

Gentlemen.

‎[tense music continues]

So the rumours
of her coming for you are true?

Yep.

Why'd you let her go?

It wasn't my doing.

Uncle, you mentioned
something about a body I need to collect.

Not anymore.

‎[tense music builds]

[Leon] f*ck! Here she comes.

Sting!

Leon!

Don't make me get out of this car.

Let's convene at the hotel.

We have work to do.

‎[car engine revving]

Eish.

[guard yells] Mr. Khuzwayo!

What are you looking at?

[guard] Let's go, Khuzwayo!

Come, come, come!

Where's Detective Basia?

Because I requested to see her.

Stop wasting my time!

[guard] Come, come, come.

-Bring your hands, man.
-Hey, my man, listen…

You're not taking me back
to that Magalies prison, are you?

‎[chuckles]

-I'm talking to you.
-[guard in Zulu] Hey, you! Come!

[Lester in English]
Where are you taking me?

[guard] He's here! Let's go.

‎[street indistinct chatters]

‎[sighs]

[officer in Zulu] Hurry up!
Don't waste our time.

Welcome home, Khuzwayo.

You are going to die here.

-Prison is actually your thing.
-[Lester] Stop that.

Your friends are waiting.
It's about to get exciting.

‎[tense music playing]

‎-[electric alarm buzzing]
‎-[indistinct chatters]

Why are you doing that? Stop it.

Leave me alone.

The tigers are waiting for you, my boy.

[Lester] I'm certainly going to die
in here! They're going to k*ll me.

-Hey! This is all on you.
-[g*ng chattering indistinctly]

[guard] We only pity the innocent.
You did this to yourself.

‎[prisoners indistinct rumbling]

[guard] You chose to come back here.

‎-[indistinct chattering continues]
‎-[tense music playing]

[Mo] I entrusted you and Leon with looking
after my family and protecting them.

What's this about
my sister going into a lion's den?

[Sting] We did everything to stop her.

Now we're doing our best to protect her.

She plans to kidnap the target tomorrow.

Alright, just waiting for a car.

Tell me about Keneilwe.

-Is she protected?
-[Sting] Sure.

She's at the safe house.

I need cash.

And I need weapons.

Plenty at the safe house.

‎[engages the call]

My car is ready.

‎[auspicious music playing]

‎[street indistinct chatters]

-Is this the car?
-Yeah.

What? He couldn't afford anything better?

Well, at least he's not a criminal.

Take.

Take it!

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[car ignition sputtering]

‎[engine whines]

Does this thing even work?

Are you taking out your anger on the car?

I mean, I was trying to help you,

-but I can take the car back.
-Well, you might as well take it back.

It's not going to take us
to Cape Town at this rate.

Excuse me?

‎[ignition continues sputtering]

‎[Mo exhales]

-[engine revving]
-Finally.

‎[electric alarm buzzing]

[guard] Lunchtime.

‎-[keys jiggling]
‎-[prisoners indistinct chatters]

Lunchtime, boys.

-Hey, man, it's lunchtime.
-No, I'm not going there.

[in Zulu] They'll k*ll me
when I step… Oh, lock the door, man!

Hey! These bars remain open during lunch.
Why should I lock them?

[clicks] Come out and eat.

[in Afrikaans] There's the pig.

[RIP inmate] We're going to k*ll this pig.

You know?

We'll k*ll him. [snickers]

Leave that pig.

[in Zulu] Piss off!

‎[tense music plays]

‎[indistinct chatters]

Piss off!

[RIP inmate 1] Big boy!

-[RIP inmate 2 whistles]
-[RIP inmate 3] Big boy!

‎[indistinct chattering by RIP g*ng]

Hey, my brother.

Please get me out of here.

I'm begging you! I'm begging you.

‎[chattering continues]

My sister. [chuckles nervously]

Please get me out of here.

I beg you.

I'm begging you.

Hey!

Do you know who I am? Hmm?

I've got the minister's number.

You can be fired tomorrow.

Excuse me?

In other words, are you saying
you have a phone in your possession?

In prison?

-No! I didn't say that.
-That's a very serious offence.

Take it easy, loud-mouth.

-Go away.
-Piss off.

[RIP 2] Yes, my boy!
We're going to get you.

‎[indistinct chattering, whistling by g*ng]

-Hey, pretty boy. I will deal with you.
-[indistinct chattering continues]

-[RIP inmate 4] Hey, piggy.
-[indistinct chattering continues]

‎[birds chirping]

‎[tense music playing]

-Hey, hey, it's me.
-[Keneilwe gasps]

-It's me! Don't sh**t!
-[Keneilwe panting]

Hey.

-Relax.
-[Keneilwe panting]

-Come here.
-[calm music plays]

-It's okay.
-[Keneilwe murmurs]

-[groans]
-It's okay.

[panting] Oh, my gosh!

[in Tswana] How did you know
I was here? [sniffles]

It was Sting.

[panting] You scared me.

Sorry… I just came
to make sure you were okay.

-Okay. [panting]
-Phumzi is in the car.

[in English] We're going to Cape Town to…

-protect your sister. [panting]
-[panting]

[in Tswana] I don't know
what's gotten into her.

She's not herself anymore.

Yeah.

Maybe she isn't.

I think it's best
if you leave Phumzile here.

It's safer.

I don't think so.

She's coming with me.

I would rather die protecting her.

You're the main target here.

It's not just Gavin Salat.

[in English]
You're all over the news, Mogomotsi.

Every cop in this country
is looking for you.

She's right.

Yeah, maybe she is right.

Maybe you should
stay here where it's safe.

-Yeah.
-Mo,

that man in Cape Town is after my son.

I can't sit here and hide.

I'm going with you.

Can I please use your bathroom
before we leave?

-Yes. Yes, of course, you may.
-[Mo] Yeah.

[Phumzi] Thank you.

I gather we all know
why she wants to go with you.

-Let's go inside…
-Let's go inside.

[Keneilwe] Yeah.

-I'm going to need cash and weapons.
-Alright.

‎Please also send
‎a cash delivery to that address.

-Okay.
-Weapons? [sighs]

‎[tense music playing]

[Mo] Yeah, good.

Yeah. [exhales]

-Try this. [pants]
-[Mo] Here goes.

-That's it?
-Yeah, thank you so much.

-Yeah! Please be safe… Please.
-[Mo] Yeah.

-Okay…Yeah.
-You going to be okay?

‎[auspicious music playing]

[in Zulu] Okay,
you have a visitor! Let's go.

-You have a visitor! Hurry up.
-[Lester tuts]

You have a visitor! Hurry up! Let's go!

-[grunts] Get out of the way then!
-Move!

What's your problem?

You're a feisty one, hey?

Afraid of your friends,

-but you want to take chances with us.
-You think you're a boss in here.

‎[electric alarm buzzing]

[Gail in English] Thank you.

-May I?
-[iron door clanks shut]

Please.

‎[Lester clears throat]

Detective Basia,

I see you're still out
celebrating my capture. [huffs]

[scoffs] It took you long enough.

Thanks for coming.

It's actually Inspector Gail Basia now.

Head of the Directorate
for Priority Crime Investigation.

‎[Lester scoffs]

I would send you flowers, of course,

but since your promotion
was probably a reward for arresting me,

I would reckon
that you owe me more than just flowers,

but I'm willing
to take a favour, of course.

What favour?

Well, if you [chuckles] insist,
I am ready to spill the beans on Salat,

with evidence to back it up.

Oh, that's old news now.

-I'm actually after Mo Masire.
-[laughing]

[inhales] You're lying.

You know proving
to everyone that you've been right

about Salat all along
would give you nothing but satisfaction,

-[scoffs]
-and you know it.

-Fulfilment?
-Hell, yes.

Who the f*ck cares about fulfillment

when one of
the biggest criminals is still at large?

[snickering] Oh, come on!

Mo Masire is not dangerous.

He's like a f*cking grass snake.

A grass snake

-that stabbed a prison guard,
-Yes.

‎that k*lled inmates! Should I go on?

Self-defense.

Like, also because Salat
has a hit out on all Masires.

He k*lled Tlotlo!

Just bring this in for me
and just make it make sense.

What's this feud about
and where did it start?

Because a few weeks ago,

Mo was still busy with Salat's boys

-when you brought drugs into one
-[sighs]

of your high-profile homes.

-Isn't that so?
-I can't confirm or deny that,

I'm not a cop, but I can deliver Salat.

And if you insist,
I can deliver Mogomotsi Masire as well.

I can confirm…

that you can see the numbers
and the years are running up,

-so you'd do anything to save your a*s.
-[sighs]

You know… [chuckles, tuts]

for your information,

there's a huge drug shipment
coming in for Salat in a few days.

Vero is on her way
down to Cape Town to hijack it.

Mo Masire is on his way to save his sister

as we speak because he knows
how dangerous Salat is.

With my help,
you can catch them all red-handed.

Just… Just get me
the f*ck out of here, okay?

-You're scared.
-[auspicious music playing]

[chuckling] Poor Lester.

You're such a big dreamer.

Where did you imagine all of this?

Fact is stranger than fiction, Inspector.

Okay.

Deal or no deal?

Guard!

‎[electric alarm buzzes]

‎[tense music plays]

‎Simon, what are you doing here?

‎[Simon] ‎Vero.‎ [suspenseful music plays]

‎[tense beats plays]

[yells] Vero!

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

‎[Mo sighs heavily]

I was dreaming about my brother. [sighs]

It's been happening quite a bit.

He's been appearing in my dreams,
like he's sending me messages,

you know, warnings.

[sighs] I think I should've seen
a Sangoma before leaving Jo'burg,

and getting on the road.

Try and understand
what he's trying to say, you know.

He's trying to tell me something.

[in Zulu] I can ask
my aunt to find you a healer.

-Yeah?
-[Mo] Yeah.

[in English] Thank you.

‎[Mo exhales loudly]

You know, I'm…

-I'm sorry.
-[calm music playing]

I've been acting like a jerk.

It's love that's making me
behave like this.

Love or jealousy?

It's love that makes me feel jealous.

I've always loved you.

I'll always love you.

When I said, "For better
or worse, sickness and health,

for good times and the bad."

I meant it.

‎[Phumzi clears throat]

I should probably get some snacks.

Yeah, let me call Simon Junior.

-Will you send him my love?
-Hmm.

‎[calm music continues]

‎Hi my baby.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎Breaking news.

[male reporter] The hunt
for Mo Masire is still on.

There has been a countrywide
man hunt for Mo Masire.

This man is very dangerous,
and anybody who may come across

him is urged
to stay very far away from him

and call the police immediately on 10111.

-A reward will be offered by the police
-Sorry, sir, your change!

‎-to anybody with any information
‎-Your…

-that leads to his apprehension.
-[TV announcement continues]

Okay? Alright, my baby.

‎[tense music playing]

What's going on?

Mo, what's going on?

-Mo!
-[inhales]

I'm all over the news.

I gotta get out of here.

‎-[tense music resumes]
‎-[tyres screeching]

‎[seagulls squawk]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

Wait here for me.

‎[tensemusic builds]

‎[Mermaid growls]

‎[Mermaid squeaks]

‎[mermaid squeaks]

‎[afro pop music on radio]

‎[sighs]

Simon loves this song.

He wasn't even born
by the time this song came out.

Yeah, he's an old soul, okay?

Takes after his daddy, yeah?

Yeah, my brother used to love this song.

Simon's a great kid.

I can't wait for you to get
to know him when all of this is over.

Yeah, that'll be great.

‎[engine sputters]

-[Mo] f*cking hell!
-What's wrong?

I knew this piece of sh*t car
would never take us to Cape Town.

‎[coughs]

‎[Mo heaving]

[Mo] f*ck.

‎-[sizzling]
‎-[huffs]

‎[exhales heavily]

Is everything okay?

No, nothing's okay.

We're stranded
in the middle of f*cking nowhere.

I can't stop anyone for help
because I could end up back in prison.

This phone won't work.

I know I should have trusted my instincts.

-Instincts or jealousy?
-Instincts or jealousy.

Call it whatever you like.

Point is, we can't make it
to Cape Town in this piece of sh*t car.

And if I don't make it
to Cape Town, my sister will be dead.

‎[bangs car door]

‎-[ignition sputters]
‎-[music plays from radio]

-[Phumzi] Handbrake.
-[music playing on radio continues]

‎[suspenseful music playing]

[Sting] My man.

Taking in the sights?

Bro,

let's go out.

Let's go out and have some fun tonight.

We've got a job to do.

We can't afford
to wake up sloppy and tired.

Leon, this is my first time in Cape Town.

I can't be here and not have some fun.

I'll tell you what?

Once we're done
with the job, we'll go out.

-Alright?
-[sighs]

What if we don't
make it back from this job?

-[tense music plays]
-What if this is the last one?

Don't say that.

-Look, [huffs]
-[tense beat plays]

I'm not normally nervous before a job,

but this one.

‎-[sniffs]
‎-[tense music continues]

You know what?

f*ck it!

-f*ck it?
-f*ck it! Let's go.

-Let's go, my man! f*ck it.
-[Leon groans]

Now get out of this man-in-black
costume, bro! Go get changed.

‎[Leon scoffs]

Oh, Leon! My man.

Yeah!

[Leon] Alright, here we go
for the big finish.

-Are you ready?

-Ah, that was classic, bud.

‎[both laughing]

-[laughing] "I'm here till Tuesday!"
-[Leon laughing]

That was absolutely hilarious, brah.

I've never seen you like that, man.

-You know, Sting.
-[wistful music plays]

That brought back so many memories, man.

-Sure.
-Memories of my dad.

You know, he used to play
that song every Sunday morning.

[huffs] He used to say
that it reminded him of his dad.

-So dope.
-[Leon] Hmm!

f*ck! I miss him, Sting.

Sure.

That…

-That's… [scoffs]
-[Sting] Yeah.

This is me, man.

[tuts] You know, I've just realised,

you and me,

we don't know much about each other.

We've known each other, what?
Going on… ten years?

Yeah, ten years.

See, this job
doesn't require us to know each other.

It just demands that we're loyal…

It's best not to provoke Oom.

Oh, no.

You've provoked Oom.

Hey, Sting.

Sting!

‎-[tense music playing]
‎-[creature growls]

-Hi, good morning.
-Morning.

Uh, my friend's in room 817.

I'm trying to get hold of him.

I know he's in there.

-I've been knocking, calling him, nothing.
-[suspenseful music plays]

Is there any way
we can get into that room?

-Uh, Room 817, you said?
-817, yes.

-Okay, I'll have to escort you up.
-Not a problem.

‎-[huffs]
‎-[tense music crescendoes then halts]

[huffs] He obviously
had too much to drink last night.

-Clearly.
-Look, thanks.

We've got it from here, thanks.

‎[sting snoring]

Sting, hey!

My man! Hey, wake up! Wake up.

Hey.

No more drinking for you.
Vero's waiting for us downstairs, dude.

What? Sting.

We are going to be late.

Get your sh*t together

-or we're going to be in sh*t.
-sh*t.

Let's go, come on.

‎-[sighs]
‎-[tense music plays]

‎[Mermaid growling inaudibly ]

Is everything okay?

[sigh] I'm fine.

Just a bit dizzy.

-[calm music playing]
-Can we get you anything?

No, I'm fine.

All right, let's get down to business.

As you know, yesterday
I met with Gavin Salat at his home.

Surprisingly,
he didn't have any bodyguards.

Signs of a dangerous man.

-He's over-confident.
-[tense music plays]

He's clearly never met anyone like me.

He believes we have a deal.

Even dangerous men can be gullible.

-[creature growls]
-What if he's playing you?

Queen, you okay?

-[Mermaid continues growling]
-All right, back to the plan.

[sigh] I've arranged a meeting
with Gavin and Alejandro Gonzalez.

Who is Alejandro Gonzalez?

Just a character I made up.

A ruse to lure Gavin
from his home to the beach.

And that's when we k*ll him?

No.

We capture him
and t*rture him to extract information

-about the shipment.
-[Mermaid rattles]

After that, we eliminate him.

And the cargo is ours for the taking.

Questions?

All right, thank you, gentlemen.

Leon, you can go scout the place.

Later we meet.

Sting, you're coming
with me to the doctor.

I'll go get my things.

‎[eerie music plays]

Is it just me,

or is her belly growing abnormally fast?

No, I noticed that too.

f*ck! This place is weird, man.

‎-What?
‎-[huffs]

I didn't finish telling you
what happened to me last night.

No. [titters]

No more alcohol for you, my brother.

If it's starting to make you
see things, it's not worth it.

Let's go.

[in Zulu] My man, I'm serious.

‎[tense music plays]

[doctor in English] There she is.

She looks a lot bigger than her months.

She appears perfectly fine
for eight months.

-It's only six months.
-[tense music plays]

Are you sure?

I can order a blood test
and an amniocentesis just to be sure.

The results will give us
a clear indication

of a reason for your baby's rapid growth.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[upbeat music playing]

I wonder why they call it the mother city.

Now, for me…
Johannesburg feels more motherly.

Don't you think?

‎[upbeat music continues]

‎-[tense music playing]
‎-[phone ringing]

Speak.

Sting, it's me.

I'm in Cape Town.

Okay.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, no, it's all good.

I'm going to drop off my--

I'm going to drop off
Phumzi at her aunty's house.

I'll link up with you.

Sure.

‎-[tense music continues]
‎-[Mermaid growls, screeches]

I'm going to need you
to direct me from here.

-I don't know where I'm going--
-Straight.

Thank you.

‎[Oom screeches]

-A great feast awaits you.
-[Oom grunts]

‎-[Oom growls]
‎-[tense music plays]

That smile means something interesting.

What's the occasion?

Veronica Masire's little brother
just arrived on our shores.

Let's go give him a warm welcome.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[upbeat music playing]

‎[turns off the music]

‎[sentimental music plays]

Before we go inside,

my aunt doesn't know
that my marriage ended.

So, we need to act
like we're still husband and wife.

Yeah, that should be easy.

Okay.

Let's go.

‎[indistinct chattering nearby]

‎[knock on door]

Aunty.

Phumzi?

‎[Phumzi chuckles]

My child.

-[gasp] [in Xhosa] Hello, boy.
-[in English] Hello ma'am.

You can have a seat.

-Thank you.
-[sighs]

What brought you two lovebirds here?

After all these years.

When was the last time
you graced me with a visit?

[tuts] Oh, Aunty.

[in Zulu] It has been a while.

[scoffs] You didn't even
invite me at your wedding.

You're making me feel bad.

You should feel bad.

I've never even met your son.

We'll bring him by very soon.

My wife is always talking about you.

She speaks very highly of you.

Oh, I'm happy to hear that.

Am I forgiven? [sighs]

I suppose so, but say no more.

-[chuckling] Okay. [sigh]
-[Aunty chuckles]

-Um, Aunty… [clears throat]
-Hm?

[in Zulu] The healer?

[in English] Oh, I've spoken
to someone but she's not a Sangoma.

-Okay.
-She's a very powerful prophet.

Okay.

-[in Zulu] Thank you, Aunty.
-Okay, my child.

‎-[birds chirping]
‎-[tense music playing]

[in English] And then?

[in Tswana] Hey, bro.

Hey bro, what's going on?

Hey?!

‎My goodness.

[excitedly] Mogomotsi Masire!

Yes!

[in Xhosa] Put your feet in the water.

‎[tense music plays]

Give me your hands.

[in English] Let us close our eyes.

I see much better with my eyes closed.

‎[eerie sound plays]

Relax.

The energy is not flowing well.

‎[eerie music plays]

[Prophetess] You are a fugitive.

Never open your eyes, child.

Your family has been embroiled in a w*r.

A spiritual w*r.

You are fighting
the battles of those long gone.

‎[inhales deeply, exhales]

[in Xhosa] So much bloodshed.

So much death.

[in English] None of it would've occurred

if your mother hadn't given
a wandering mermaid your home.

‎-[inhales deeply]
‎-[eerie music continues]

I understand all of that.

All I wish to know is…

what message my brother
is trying to bring to me.

Even what you think
you know, you don't know.

Your brother wants you
to save your sister.

But the man
you must save her from has a force.

A spirit stronger
than the one that protects your family.

‎-[prophetess gasps]
‎-[eerie sounds continue]

[yells] Wow!

It's a territorial w*r…

dating back thousands of years.

A battle waged by two malevolent spirits.

The water spirit against
a cursed spirit of the Khoi Shaman,

who betrayed his people to land grabbers.

‎[eerie sounds]

The mermaid was expelled
from her home, the Cape Waters.

[in Xhosa] Like a fish taken out of water.

[in English] The mermaid
struggled to survive.

She depends on blood…

to keep her alive.

[in Xhosa] Your parents…

helped the wandering mermaid

by providing with a home.

[in Xhosa] Your family
sustained her with blood.

-[in English] The time has arrived
-[tense music playing]

for the mermaid to return home!

But one formidable obstacle remains.

The waters are still under the dominion
of the Khoi spirit.

‎[mermaid's eerie grunts]

What does my family have to do with this?

[in Xhosa] There's only one way…

A solution that can end the curse

[in English] is for the mermaid
to k*ll the Khoi spirit.

Only the death of the spirit

will satisfy her hunger.

‎-[eerie whooshing]
‎-Ooh!

And what if I don't?

Then your sister's child will die.

And your bloodline will be cursed forever.

‎[groans]

‎[eerie groans]

Hey, I hope you did get the help,
my son, from the prophet.

Yes, I did.

All will be well… It's going to be okay.

‎[suspenseful music playing]

‎[tense music playing]

I don't care how many men he brings.

Take them all out except for him.

Copy.

Sting, while Leon
takes care of his minions,

I want you to capture him
and disarm him quickly.

-Got it.
-All right, stand by.

They should be here soon.

‎[suspenseful music playing]

There he is.

He who stands between me and my baby.

‎[suspenseful music continues]

Only two men?

His confidence will be his undoing.

Am I late or am I early?

You're punctual.

Alejandro's on his way.

It's an interesting choice
of venue for this meeting.

This water park has special memories
from my childhood.

Happy ones.

You planning on reliving that memory?

Alejandro and I
are partnering to revive it.

Ambitious, I see.

-Were you this pregnant yesterday?
-[tense music plays]

Where I come from, it's rude

to comment on a woman's body.

Apologies.

Where's my manners?

My name is Gavin Salat.

Sting.

Sting.

It's an interesting name.

Reminds me of a story from my childhood.

A scorpion asked a frog
to carry him across the river.

The frog, scared,
doesn't want to get stung.

The scorpion promised not to sting him

because if he did,
both of them would drown.

The scorpion would die.

So the frog agrees.

Halfway through the midstream,

the scorpion stings the frog.

The frog asks him why.

The scorpion says,

-"It's just my nature".
-[tense music plays]

[in Afrikaans] Get them!

‎[tense music builds]

‎[g*ns c*ck]

[in English] On your knees.

Surprise doesn't look good on you.

How did you think
this was going to play out?

You want to capture me
and t*rture me for information.

Did you seriously think
I was going to fall

for that Alejandro sh*t?

-[in Afrikaans] sh**t them dead.
-[g*ns c*ck]

Would you let me die?

‎-[Mermaid squeals]
‎-[tense music continues]

‎[g*ns c*ck]

‎-[g*nshots]
‎-[men grunting]

‎-[tense music builds]
‎-[Oom growls]

‎[Oom rattles]

‎[Oom rattles]

‎-[creature continues growling]
‎-[Mo groans]

‎[growls]

‎-[Mo groans, panting]
‎-[g*n c*ck]

You're obviously not Alejandro.

Care to introduce yourself?

You know exactly who I am.

-[Mo pants]
-I just needed to make sure.

Nice to meet you, Mo Masire.

‎[eerie growls]
