[Thandeka] The exams
are starting this week.

Exams are only for matrics, Ma.

Oh.

[cell phone chimes]

[Thandeka] No phones at the table.

[anxious droning music plays]

[softly] Look at your phone.

- Hey. What's up?

Dude, I think the celeb status
has gone to Puleng's head.

She's doing sex tapes now.

- [laughs]
- sh*t.

[line rings]

[dial tone pulses]

You should go check on Puleng.

Yeah.

There's money coming in from the sales,
but not enough yet.

I mean, selling to other schools helps.
At R500 a pop, we just need 600 kids.

Yeah. Yeah, but he wants it today.

- That's the problem.
- Well, f*ck it. Stall him.

- You know he doesn't f*ck with that, bro.
- Just message him please.

[keyboard app clicking]

[beeps]

[phone vibrates and chimes]

- Awesome. We have until tomorrow.
- [Wendy] You have until tomorrow for what?

We, uh... We...

We're talking about, uh, KB's song
not getting enough traction.

We need a new marketing strategy
by tomorrow.

Okay.

[phone vibrates and chimes]

[sighs]

[phone chimes]

What?

No, this... this can't be Puleng.

The school should have systems in place to
protect our children from cyberbullying.

It's not really a Parkhurst matter.
It happened online.

[Thandeka] It was posted
on the school's magazine website!

You're the principal. Didn't you say
you'd turn things around at the school?

If you can't do anything about it,
I'm getting the police involved.

No. I'll investigate.

["Look Away" by Lana McDonagh plays]

[Grootboom on speaker] Tahira Kahn,
to my office, please.

- I heard someone's selling exam papers.
- We should definitely get our hands on it.

- Hi.
- Hi. Do you want to come with me?

[young woman]...it's literally the worst.

Ugh. Loser alert.

[melancholic music plays]

[Asanda] You shouldn't have come.

I'm sorry. I'll see you later.

[Grootboom] Good day, Mrs. Khumalo.
We will be in touch.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You wanted to see me, sir?

You'll be speaking to the matrics
at assembly.

- But we don't have one today.
- We do now.

["I Can Change" by Looceedee plays]

Uh, I'm not quite sure what...

Part of your responsibility is to be
a role model for your fellow students.

You will speak to the student body
about integrity. Keep it short.

It'll be good
if it's coming from one of the learners.

♪ I can change... ♪

I don't have much faith in Mr. Grootboom.

Ma, please, just... Just stop, okay?

You're making it worse.

In a few years,
everyone will forget about this.

Okay.

See you later.

[Grootboom] It has been brought
to my attention that there is a video

making the rounds at the school.
We will be conducting an investigation.

- [students chatter]
- Quiet.

Parkhurst has a reputation to uphold,
and we will be taking this matter...

- [yells] Quiet!
- [students go silent]

As a result, mobile phones
will no longer be permitted in class.

- [students exclaim]
- I will now hand you over to Miss Kahn.

[Tahira] "Integrity."
A simple word that means so much.

What is success without integrity?

Nothing.

We live in a world
where the end justifies the means.

- [phone buzzes]
- We search for instant gratification.

But at what cost?

So to the matrics,

good luck with the exams starting today.

I hope that we may lead with integrity,

and find the courage of our conviction

to always do what is right.

I would know. Remember mine?

I think you're not in high school

He can't hurt you anymore.

Okay?

He says he didn't do it.

- That it must have been someone else.
- Someone else?

He's lying, clearly. Like, he's literally
the only one who could have done it.

Yeah.

If he thinks
I'm just gonna roll over and take this,

then he has another thing coming.

No. Just...

[sent tone plays]

[students chatter indistinctly]

Hey. Um, so I found out
that the video was sent

from the Magazine Society's computer
here at Parkhurst, actually.

Wasn't it just PoolBoy hacking the system?
Can't he do that?

Y-Yeah, but then the janitor told me
that he actually heard someone

lurking around during that time.

M-Maybe it was him.

[suspenseful music plays]

No, it wasn't.

- Hey! Leigh-Anne! It was you, right?
- What the f*ck?

to f*ck around with my life?

Let go of me. I'm fine!

Puleng, no! No!

Hey! Leave me.

Please, I didn't do it.

- Brian is right.
- Thandeka, hold on a second.

The last time I checked, Fikile was fine.
He owes me an apology.

Don't drive a wedge
between your daughter and her father.

- I'm her father!
- Then act like you are.

Because right now,
you're just making her unhappy.

So you can decide to stay stubborn.

[gasps]

Or you can have
a relationship with Fikile.

- It's hard enough for her having two dads.
- Oh, really?

- Now you know the story of my life.
- What's that mean?

Why didn't you return
after we spent the night together?

[in Xhosa] Huh?
I just want to know, Thandeka.

- [English] What difference would it make?
- What, that you were married or that...

[tender music plays]

Or that I was in love with you?

[scoffs softly]

[in Xhosa] Thandeka. Thandeka,
you thought it was just a one-night stand?

[in English] I can't do this
with you right now, Tony.

You can't? Or you won't?

My daughter's most intimate moment
is plastered all over the Internet.

I don't have the energy
to argue with you right now.

Wait, I'm not trying to argue with you.
What are you...

I ju... just can't do this, Tony. I can't.

But whatever it is, it's going to be okay.

It's going to be fine.

It's Puleng.

Yes, but... Thandeka.

It won't happen again.
Uh, Puleng is seeing her therapist today.

I'll make sure of that.

I don't know what to do.

[sighs] Well, what is there to do?

I can't let them get away with it.
It's not fair, Tahira.

We've been sitting here
for weeks, studying,

and they get a free pass
because they bought exam papers?

Do you have any idea
as to who might be selling the papers?

No.

Well, then just let it be, Wendy.
There's no need to get anyone in trouble.

Like you said,
the end does not justify the means.

Yeah, but life's
not all black and white, right?

Like you said, it's complicated.

why Chris lies to you all the time.

Jeez!

[Wade] Hey.

You all right?

- I don't know why I snapped like that.
- Yeah, Puleng, you could've k*lled her.

- I'm sorry. Okay?
- Don't say sorry to me.

Well, I'm not apologizing to her.
She deserved it, Wade.

Plus, I've been wanting to slap her
for the longest time.

It felt good.

I still don't think Leigh-Anne did it.

I mean, she... she has
nothing to gain in it.

What if this PoolBoy wants us
to believe that it's Leigh-Anne?

He doesn't, actually.

I've been going through the file.

Something about this Gregory Dickson guy
isn't adding up.

- [phone chimes]
- You were here during this time, right?

Yeah.

Do you remember anything from that time?

Puleng, I don't remember
what I had for supper last night.

You expect me
to remember something from 2019?

What's up with the attitude?

Just... stuff.

[sighs] Come on, Wade, think.

I'll check my brain extension.

[Puleng] "PoolBoy."
Maybe this has something to do with it.

That... That's a near-drowning incident.
You think Gregory Dickson almost drowned?

I don't know. But I want to find out.

[suspenseful music plays]

- You're selling papers now?
- What are you smoking?

Well, who's selling the papers?

Listen, don't act dumb, okay?

Who even cares about that?

'Cause we don't. f*ck that, and f*ck you.

Sir, there's something I need to tell you.

- Someone stole the exam papers?
- [Wendy] Yes, sir.

- Who?
- I don't know.

- Did you witness it?
- No, sir.

Someone told you about it?

No, sir, but I overheard
some students talking about it.

Could you point them out to me?

I couldn't see their faces,
but I heard them talk about it.

- [Tahira] We need to talk.
- I thought you don't mingle with our kind.

We need to talk now.

"Student was drunk."

- "Won't be returning to school."
- No names?

No. They said they were all underage,
so they can't reveal their identities.

Why don't you ask someone else

who was also at the school
during that time,

or more specifically,
on the swimming team?

- Fiks?
- Yeah.

Yeah, that's a good idea.
Let me try to call her.

about your behavior today.

There's nothing to talk about.

And strangling a fellow student
doesn't qualify?

Why did you do it, Puleng?

Because she made me angry,
and she deserved it.

You know, I thought that telling
your mother about the tape set you free.

[sighs]

You reacted very strongly.

[Leigh-Anne] Get off of me!

[Puleng] I swear to God,
I'll f*cking k*ll you.

do you remember a near-drowning incident

that happened at the school?

It was around the same time that you won
your debate competition in 2019.

Yeah, we even sent him
a get-well-soon card.

But I found the whole thing dodgy.

In what way?

Damian was super focused.

If he wasn't swimming,
he was at the library.

I always thought he and Tahira
would make a cute couple.

- Sorry, huh?
- [chuckles]

Did you say Damian?
I was talking about Gregory Dickson.

No, that was the swim captain.

He didn't drown. It was definitely Damian.

So, I think I might have figured out
what this whole PoolBoy thing is about.

- I thought you were letting it go.
- No.

It has something to do with that student
who nearly drowned, Damian.

Supposedly, he was drunk at school,

but I heard something different
from Wendy and Tahira.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Um, what did they tell you exactly?

That he didn't drink.

Do you know if he was by himself
when he almost drowned?

- [Fikile] No, nothing. I'm sorry.

[Fikile] No, I don't know. It must have
been before I joined the swimming team.

- So you've never met Gregory or Damian?
- I really don't remember.

I... I have to go, guys.

So, why would
a near-drowning incident report

about Damian be in Gregory's file?

Yeah, at this point,
one plus one equals three.

Um, where can we find pictures of Gregory?

- Or Damian maybe?
- Um...

- [Asanda] What are you doing?
- Nothing.

Do you mind closing the door, please?

We're checking negatives.
So if you're gonna stay, please help out.

[Asanda] What am I looking for?

Swim team, 2019.

[sighs]

Why did you delete your comment?

Do you guys mind
taking your issues outside or whatever?

- Why, Wade?
- Must we do this here?

I don't see why not. You seem to be
spending all your time with her lately.

- So...
- Guys, I have a genuine crisis, okay?

So if you're worried about Wade
untagging you in some stupid photo,

then please...

It's not a stupid photo.
And by the way, I found it.

What?

Wait. I have an idea.

[app clicks on phone]

[beeps and clicks]

Th-There it is.

[tense music plays]

What?

[gasps]

So, what is it about Puleng
that doesn't make you acknowledge

our relationship, hmm?

Nothing, but I mean,
why is she even in the front seat?

Guys, please.

[mellow music plays]

[Puleng sighs heavily]

[Asanda sighs heavily]

So the incident report in Gregory's file

is about a student
who nearly drowned, Damian.

I think that Gregory Dickson
had a hand in it,

or he was there when it happened.

This is the mystery
that PoolBoy wanted me to uncover.

PoolBoy is Damian.

- [exhales]
- Yeah.

But why does he want me to uncover
something that he knows already?

[Asanda] Maybe he tried himself,
and no one listened.

[groans] Anyways, why are you even trying
to fix something that's not broken?

We're fine as we are.

Fine? But you don't want
to be seen with me in public.

Are you ashamed of me?

[in Afrikaans] Look, I'm just gonna
drop you off at home, okay?

[in English] Absolutely not.

I found the picture.
I'm useful. I'm staying.

Look, if you don't think
I'm cool enough or whatever,

then maybe we must reevaluate
this whole relationship thing.

Wade!

Fiks lied
about knowing Gregory and Damian.

Do you think she was part of the cover-up?

[sighs] I don't know.

I mean, there's a reason
PoolBoy wants me to uncover all of this.

He keeps saying
that the truth is closer than I think.

I think Fiks had something
to do with what happened.

Do you think that maybe she...

That maybe she what?

[Sam] What's really going on, Fiks?

You've been acting very strange lately.

[exhales sharply]

I just...

[phone vibrates and chimes]

[anxious droning music plays]

[gasps]

- [breath trembles]
- Hey, you okay?

[chimes]

[phone vibrates]

[phone beeps]

[through distortion] Finally.
I was starting to think

we backed the wrong player.

I know why you asked me to dig into it.
It's about Fiks.

What did she do?

Doesn't matter anyway.

Because I'm done.

Whatever happened to you,
whatever Fiks did to you

doesn't justify the sick sh*t
that you do to people.

What you made Leigh-Anne
do to me... [scoffs]

You don't deserve justice, so f*ck off.

[Damian] Careful, Puleng.

Or what?

What?

That's exactly what I thought.

- [phone beeps]
- [dial tone pulses]

[sighs]

Sam, there's something you should know.

I leaked Puleng's sex tape.

[suspenseful music plays]

What?

Why?

She was gonna find out about the past,
and I... I just...

- I just needed time to think and... [gasps]
- [tires squeal]

- Please, don't... Please, don't hurt us.
- [Sam] Make it quick, guys.

[groans]

- [Fikile] Help me!
- [man] Let's go!

- Fiks!
- Let's go, let's go!

- Sam!
- Fiks!

[groans]

- Let's go, let's go!
- Sam! Sam!
