03x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

‎-[ominous music plays]
‎-Hm.

No.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

‎-[grunts]
‎-[Vero panting]

Where are you? [panting]

Where are you? [panting]

[yells] Show yourself! [panting]

[voice breaking] Show yourself!

Show yourself. [panting]

[Isador] What's happening?

-Talk to me… Dude, talk to me.
-[panting]

I can't feel it!

-The baby?
-Yeah.

-I need to find my brother! I need to…
-Okay, calm down… Just shh.

Just wait! Wait.

Isador, you don't understand! She took it.

No… Shh, just calm down.

Just calm down, feel there.

Do you feel that? Hmm?

A foot.

You felt it, you know she's right here.

-[inhales] Give me your hand.
-[pants]

[Isador] You feel that?

-Yeah, you feel that, right?
-[panting]

-[whispers] Yeah.
-[Isador] It's okay.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Just breathe.

Thank you.

That was all you.

-[Vero] No.
-No, you did that.

-You did that.
-[Vero exhales]

[soft music playing]

I've never seen you like this.

Special circumstances. [sniffles]

No.

‎[calm music plays]

This time is different.

‎[pensive music plays]

You really want this.

What?

‎[sniffs]

Wow.

Wow, I uh…

I never realized how much I wanted…

our baby until I just felt her move.

That's not a good feeling.

-[sighs]
-What do you mean?

‎[exhales]

You know, in the beginning…

I always just thought us having
a baby would be an extension

of our relationship.

Our partnership turned into a family.

‎[inhales]

We are two lone wolves.

We have a home for our cub.

‎[inhales]

It wasn't until I felt
the baby move that I realized…

that's a whole human…

and I'm supposed to be the father.

-[exhales]
-Hey.

That's a good thing.

Oh, no. [sniffs]

I take life, for a living.

‎[inhales]

From the military to the streets,
all I've ever known is violence.

You know, karma hunts down men like me.

What kind of f*cking father
am I supposed to be?

‎[sniffs, sighs]

‎[crying]

‎[thrilling intro music playing]

‎[upbeat music plays]

Someone looks like he wants to cry.
Yeah?

[in Afrikaans] Not as much as
your mother wanted to cry last night.

‎Hey!

Alright, the joke is now over.

Are you done?

Yeah, I'm done.

Thanks.

You're young.

[in English] But you have chosen the path…

that was laid thousands
of years before you, that will exist

thousands of years to come.

[in Afrikaans] Your eyes are now my eyes.

-[knife clanks]
-Your blood is their blood now.

‎[tense music plays]

Line up.

‎[grunts]

The Masires think they're smarter than us,

but we know where the Masires are.

Before they removed
our eyes and ears on them,

we had already heard and seen everything,
so we're going to go pay them a visit.

[in English] With our eager young blood
ready to show us what he's got.

Isn't that right?

Yes, Uncle.

Good.

You spare nobody, my boy.

Salute.

Salute! Salute! Salute!

[in Tswana] Are you okay?

‎-[tense music plays]
‎-[sighs]

[in English] I'm going
to sit this one out.

Everything okay?

I don't want to lose this baby.

I understand.

And if it's going to happen,

it will be soon.

-I can feel it.
-[tense music continues]

I thought you were weeks away.

I was.

What about Isador?

[in Tswana] What? Do you need him?

Do you need him?

Isador can come with you.

[in English] I'd say good luck,
but you don't need it.

-You're a Masire.
-[tense music continues]

Of course.

Mo.

She's come back to you, hasn't she?

f*cking b*tch.

Welcome back, King.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[c*ck g*n]

[Mo] All right, gentlemen.

First thing to know…

is whatever you think
you know about Salat,

forget about it, you don't know sh*t.

We're not dealing
with an ordinary individual here.

He's been listening to our every word.

So he thinks he's got the upper hand.

He thinks we're unprepared.

-But this is good for us.
-[Oom rattles]

Gives us an opportunity to surprise him.

‎[Oom ominous whispering]

For this to work…

this has to be the last
time we speak about this.

Even when you're on your own,

you don't think about it,
you don't speak about it.

[on radio] We're dealing
with a m*therf*cker here

eyes and ears that are supernatural

and they're everywhere.

We need to find out where "there" is.

Yeah, he's being
very careful with his words, hey.

Keeping things nice and general.

-A little bit too general for me.
-[radio conversations continue]

If you don't believe a word I say,
pack your sh*t and f*ck off.

I need us all to be on the same page here.

Are we good?

‎[Lester] Good.

[Mo] Sting?

You're good?

Hurts, it's like a m*therf*cker, but…

[in Tswana] I'll be okay.

[in English] Soldier on.
I need you on your A-game.

Got it.

Do you think Gavin Salat's
going to be coming for this thing?

I certainly do.

How do you know?

I can't tell you.

So you just trust in your gut?

Let's just say that…

Salat and I have a supernatural friend.

Good enough for me.

What's next?

Once we're done, Phumzi's aunt
has got her contact on standby.

We take Salat straight there, no detours.

Look…

-if anything goes down tonight…
-[muffled tapped conversation continues]

we need to bring Lester back in.

If I'm going to make a call
for support, then I need specifics.

Get it.

Gentlemen, we're going
to see things tonight.

You're going to hear
things you don't want to hear.

Whatever you see or hear,

keep your sh*t together.

Stay with the plan,
stay focused, expect anything.

And we might just see the sunrise.

Yeah?

You good?

[Leon] Got it.

-Yeah.
-Isador?

I usually work alone.

For the sake of my baby, I'm… I'm in.

That's good enough for me.

Let's rock and roll.

[tense music builds]

‎[Oom rattles]

-Yes, my angel.
-[calm music plays]

Hulk is big and strong
because he eats all his vegetables.

Are you eating
all your veggies at your uncle's?

[chuckling] Okay.

Okay, my baby, it's bedtime.

Good night.

Mummy loves you.

Here's some tea, ladies.

Thank you.

[in Zulu] Thank you, Aunty.

[in English] You're too kind.

It sounds like my grandson

would want me
to also make him new clothes.

-Oh, Aunty, they grow up so fast. [laughs]
-[Aunty laughing]

‎[sighs]

[in English] Baby's getting so big.

What's it like?

‎[exhales]

It's like the world gets really big
and really small at the same time.

What does that mean?

You see everything in their eyes,

good or bad.

But you also see
the world for what it really is.

In all the ways it's beautiful,

in all the ways it's dangerous.

‎[music shifts to pensive]

[sighs] Sounds scary.

There's no love without fear.

You can't have one without the other.

I mean, sometimes you
feel like the love is winning,

and sometimes you feel
like the fear is winning.

But…

Deep down in your heart, you know
that you wouldn't have it any other way.

You're going to be okay.

‎[tense music plays]

‎[thug 1] I'm going to get
‎these f*cking guys! Let's go!

‎-The Masires are going down!
‎-[howling]

‎-Let's go! Let's go, gents!
‎-[indistinct chattering]

[thug 2] f*ck! Man up, guys.

‎[thug 2] Let's get him.

[in Afrikaans] No one's here.

We sure it's the right place?

-No one's here.
-That too.

It's been cut off.

I can still feel its essence.

-Go check.
-[thug 3] Let's get 'em.

‎[thug 1] We can go round to the back.

‎[in low tones]
‎That way! Gently! Follow me!

‎[c*ck g*ns]

‎-[tense music plays]
‎-Go, go! Let's go!

‎-[tense music continues]
‎-[indistinct chatter]

What's wrong?

Oom.

He's not with me.

I can't feel him.

‎-[thug 1] Where the f*ck are they?
‎-[thug 3] You, come! Come!

‎[in Afrikaans] Come!

‎[tense music builds]

‎[th*gs groan]

[yells] Shots fired!
Shots fired! Let's get in there!

‎[thug 4 yells]
‎There they are, gents! Let's go!

‎sh**t them! Go, go!

‎Get down there! Get going! Let's go!

‎-[g*nshots]
‎-[thug 3 yelling orders indistinctly]

‎Follow me!

‎[thug 3 in Xhosa] Come, come!
‎There he is! He's upstairs.

‎-[in English] sh*t!
‎-[in Xhosa] Let's go!

‎-[groans]
‎-[man 3 in Xhosa] sh**t him!

‎-Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
‎-[g*nshots]

Oom… [pants]

‎-[thug 3] There he is, up there!
‎-[g*nshots]

I need you here…

-[yells] Now!
-[tense beats play]

‎-There he is!
‎-f*cking fools!

I'm here, m*therf*cker.

-You move and you're f*cking dead.
-[g*nshots]

‎-[Sting] f*ck you!
‎-[thug 2] Let's go! Take cover!

‎-[g*nshots]
‎-Let's go!

‎f*ck! They've got us surrounded!

‎-Yo man, get down!
‎-Let's get out of here!

‎Let's get out of here! Let's go!

f*ck!

‎[Lester pants]

‎[ominous music plays]

-Yeah.
-[pants]

Nice, dude.

-Let's go.
-Let's go that way.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

Oh, f*ck you, Masire.

‎[upbeat music plays]

[in Afrikaans] You're such a cheat.

[in English] There's an extra
piece here, brother.

What piece?

Must I show you
the piece I'm carrying, hey?

-Stop talking sh*t, bro!
-[phone rings]

Guys, Carrim ditched the van.

Picking him up.
We're going for a joy ride.

‎[apprehensive music plays]

Guys, we're going to need backup
on standby on this one.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

You can remove the bag, Leon.

[Leon] Don't f*cking try anything.

Why do you think Oom
didn't come to your rescue tonight?

The night is still young.

It sure is.

You know, I have a theory.

I think Oom's got other plans, you know?

Does he?

Yes, other ideas.

Plans and ideas
that have nothing to do with you.

Sit back, b*tch.

The Yiddish have a saying,

''The more man plans…''

…God laughs.''

I know that one.

‎[laughing]

I laugh too, Mo Masire.

I look at the world,

and I laugh at what
I see around me every day.

Kingdom of the blind.

Stumbling over each other for scraps.

No one really knowing
what the f*ck it is they're doing or why.

But oh, they pretend.

Take you.

Me?

I've seen into you.

Your air of bravado doesn't fool me.

You're so filled with fear
and insecurities, you stink of it.

So let me ask you something.

‎[tense music plays]

When you found out your son was k*lled
and you tore your cell apart in a rage,

who were you more angry with?

Me?

-Or yourself?
-[c*ck g*n]

Alright, it's shut-the-f*ck-up time now.

-Here's the thing.
-[cricket chirps]

You have a force behind you.

-I have a force behind me.
-[tense beat plays]

Yours is your great ancestor, Oom.

I'm going to ask you
that question one more time.

Why do you think Oom
didn't come to your rescue tonight?

-I'll indulge you.
-[tense beats continue]

It's the spirits.

Spirits have no real loyalty.

Not to you, not to me.

They just do what they want.

And you with all
your rituals and your tattoos,

Oom doesn't give a f*ck about you, my man.

The same way he never gave
a f*ck about the Khoi-san people,

the innocent people that he betrayed.

He's using you.

He's using you to get to the mermaid.

And you with all your preaching.

-You're just a pawn in the game.
-[laughing]

If that is true, my friend,

then you're nothing to her too.

Oh, I'm counting on it.

‎[tense music builds and fades]

[Isador] Are you sure
this is the right place?

I guess so.

Let's get our man.

I have to cast them out.

[in English] What do you have?

They are eight of them down there.
Something is going on.

Check it out.

[inhales] Looks like a nice little
beach party they have going on.

Are we going in?

No, no, no… We wait.

Let's see what they've
got planned for entertainment.

[in Xhosa] We summon
the ancient tokoloshes.

-The terrible ones.
-[drumming]

Those that are being born
and those that are dead.

‎[exclaims]

Those who came before us,
and who came after us.

‎-[exclaims] Hey!
‎-[supernatural growls]

-We are vessels that are open…
-[prophetess 2 howls]

-…filled with milk and poison.

‎[apprehensive music plays]

[in English] sh*t! Stay down.

-Back up! We need you here right now.
-[apprehensive music continues]

[in Afrikaans] There are the Masires.
They're on the beach.

Guys…

it's time for these m*therf*ckers to pay.

-Let's move.
-[g*ns c*ck]

‎f*ck them. Let's go!

‎[in Xhosa] Let's go.

[in English] Oh no, it's too late.

What do you mean?

Actually, you're right.
They can clean up the mess.

-Let's go.
-[tense music playing]

‎[growls]

[Oom] Submit to me, Masire.

And every desire,

-every wish…
-[eerie sounds]

that your heart desires…

will be yours.

‎-[ominous cawing]
‎-[Mo panting]

‎[eerie sounds]

‎[tense music plays]

We have company.

‎-[squeals]
‎-[g*nshots]

[Leon] You guys get the boss! I got this!

f*ck you!

‎[tense music intensifies]

-[male cop] Hey!
-[Lester] f*ck!

Hey! If you take me
to that van, they'll know.

It's not your f*cking call, brah.

-[Gail] sh*t, sh*t!
-[male cop] Hey come on.

‎-[Lester grunts]
‎-Let's get out of here!

‎[Gail] Letser! Hey!

Leave him! Hey!

-[Isador] Let's go!
-[Leon] Move back!

‎[grunts]

‎-[rapid sh**ting]
‎-Let's go.

‎-Let's go.
‎-[In Xhosa] Let's go.

Any last words, Whitey?

I wish I was in f*cking Jo'burg.

Easy, easy, easy.

Watch your step here.

Watch your step.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[grunts]

‎[heaves]

‎[Police 1] Move, come on!

-[Salat groaning]
-Look who we have here.

‎-[police walkie talkie chattering]
‎-Move.

‎[siren wailing]

[Lester whispers] Oh, sh*t.

Yeah, okay.

[clears throat] Let's just wait five
and then we'll go back to the house.

‎[sentimental music plays]

‎[Phumzi huffs]

Aunty,

I can't sleep.

Me neither.

How did I end up here?

You know, I did everything
to prevent this, but here I am…

-in the middle again.
-[cutlery clinks]

Phumzi.

What are you to Mo?

What is Mo to you?

It's complicated, Aunty.

‎[Aunty sighs]

You know, my niece,

when you were young,

we could all see.

We all knew that you were different.

You were tough.

You were not scared
of a scratch on your knee, your arm.

You would get up, wipe it…

and go play.

And that strength shines through you.

Maybe it's complicated.

And I believe it is,
but he has a strength of his own.

And you've always known that.

Maybe he's not right for you.

Maybe he's not right for Simon Junior.

But he's a man in battle.

Few will ever know, or ever understand.

[in Xhosa] And he knows
what he's fighting for.

He's fighting for his family.

[in English] I can't be with Mo, Aunty.

I understand, my child.

[in Xhosa] But you know you love him.

And you will always love him.

Because his blood…

runs through

Simon Junior.

And it is the blood of a warrior.

You'll be okay.

‎[Aunty sighs]

-[in English] Quite a night we've had.
-[pensive music plays]

I mean, I lost some
of my best men, but so did you.

But we all know something
that no one else wants to.

[male cop] After all, high society
must keep tight circles, right?

There is one thing.

The m*rder of your nephew Sheldon.

And you spinning some sh*t story
about trying to save him and get him out,

when in actual fact,
you're the one who recruited him.

You are,

and will always be,

-the elusive leader of the RIP g*ng.
-[male cop] Hmm.

Luring young men
into Cape Town's most dangerous gangs.

But there's something else that gets me.

That I'm very curious about,
and this is the prize cow.

Your curious association

with the transnational
transport network in Sub-Sahara.

But the tip makes sense now.

-Hm! Tell him.
-Doesn't it?

The one where
you're in bed with the Mexican cartel

trying to land a pipeline up North.

Now I don't know what you
and Mo Masire were doing on that beach.

A ritual, I heard.

But I couldn't give a hell
about that superstitious bullshit.

I only care
about what I can see in front of me.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

And right now that's you.

We are this close to bringing you
and everyone you know down.

Politicians, high society, end their jobs.

-Hey.
-[suspenseful music builds]

[yells] Look at me!

What the hell?

-What's going on?
-I don't know.

‎[Oom squeaks ominously]

‎What the f*ck!

‎-[groans]
‎-[Gail gasps]

‎-[ominous sounds continue]
‎-[Gail gasps]

-What happened to him?
-[Lester grunts]

[Isador] Easy, easy!

[Sting in Zulu] Easy, sit down.

‎[indistinct]

-[pants] He's so cold.
-[Mo heaving]

-[Sting] Party got crashed.
-[Mo] Oh, sh*t.

‎[Mo wincing, breathing loudly]

‎[Mo heaving]

Mo, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good. [wincing]

Where's Leon?

Oh, f*ck!

‎[tense music plays]

What happened?

We got to the beach, we did the thing.

Next thing you know,
we're flanked on both sides.

-The RIPs.
-No, that was just one side.

-Who else?
-[in Tswana] The cops.

The cops know about us?

[in English] They were there,
waiting for us.

How the f*ck did they know?

‎[Mo heaves]

Yo.

-Where were you?
-[tense music plays]

My man, you were gone for five minutes.

I got away, what are you saying?

-No, no, no.
-I got away.

You were gone for five minutes.

Where the f*ck were you?

I was there, okay?

And I got away, so what do you want?

Did you bring them in?

No, Mo, I didn't bring nobody.

[heaving] Don't bullshit me, Lester.

I asked you a question.
Did you bring them in?

-Mo, I…
-Listen, hey!

Why? I told you, I'm done with that sh*t.

You're wearing a f*cking mic.

No, I'm not wearing it anymore!

[in Zulu] Speak to your brother in-law.

What's your problem?

Boss, I'm k*lling this dog.

[Mo in English] I asked you a question.

How long?

Since we broke out, okay?

That's what you want to hear, Mogomotsi.

‎[tense music continues]

[whispers] Why?

Because she was going
to take me back to those RIPs.

We should have left
your snitching a*s where you were.

Yeah, well, except
they would have k*lled me.

I'm glad you guys
think you're all so smart.

Gail Basia has been
on to you this whole time.

So I had to make a call.

sh*t.

-A call to save your own a*s?
-No.

A call to save us all, okay?

Stay close to Gail,
because she wants Salat.

Salat's the big fish, okay?

If she caught him,
she would have been light on all of us.

So I had to make a call.

Otherwise, I would have been
useless in prison, isn't it?

So I thought I'd give us an upper hand.

That's why I made the deal.

Leon is dead because of you!

[in Zulu] Don't tell me about upper hand!

Don't act stupid! You were there, right?

You saw Gail and her crew.

[in English] If she wasn't there,
what do you think would happen to us

[in Zulu] with those RIPs
we found there? Don't be stupid.

You were there.

[in Zulu] You have a point.

‎-You have a point.
‎-[tense music continues]

[in English] Where's Gavin Salat now?

He was taken by Gail.

Where did they go?

I don't know where they went.

-We'll have to find him.
-[eerie sounds play]

‎[tense music plays]

-[man growls] Help! Please help!
-[sliting sounds]

‎[glasses clattering]

Hey! Stop right there!

‎Stop! I said stop.

‎-I'll sh**t you.
‎-One more time! Help!

[groans]

-[Gail] Salat!
-[Oom growls]

‎Salat!

[Oom rattles]

Salat, freeze!

I'll k*ll you.

I strongly suggest
you reconsider, Officer.

[faintly] I swear to God I'll k*ll you!

Who's God?

‎[clattering]

‎[tense music plays]

‎[groans]

‎[groans]
