03x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

‎[street buzz sounds from afar]

[woman 1] Eight years.

‎[crickets chirping]

Eight years after one brother died.

[man 1] What the f*ck have you done?

And another was put behind bars.

‎[tense music continues]

Eight years of taking the reign as queen.

And a deal was struck with
the mermaid to pass her powers on to me.

Demanding I sacrifice
two of my unborn children.

‎[tense music continues]

[whispers] Be quiet, he's here.

‎[guard grunts]

‎[ominous music plays]

-Be quiet, he's here.
-[guard groaning]

‎[mermaid indistinct whispering]

-[Mermaid] Be quiet.
-[bones crashe]

[Vero] Eight years of building an empire,

not with bricks, but with blood.

‎[siren wailing]

‎[continuous g*nshots]

‎[apprehensive music plays]

‎[grunts]

[Vero] Eight years
of a w*r that won't seem to end…

in a city battling
an increasingly powerful Aliko Bajo.

‎[groans]

Taking out g*ng
after g*ng as he grows in strength.

‎[soldier groaning in pain]

‎[yells loudly in pain]

[woman 1] But in the end,
Jozi can only belong to one family.

My family.

‎[intro music playing]

‎[sirens blaring]

‎[electronic alarm buzzing]

‎[g*nshots]

‎[siren wailing]

[man 2] How're you feeling?

‎[woman 1 sighs]

I forgot what peace feels like.

‎Hmm!

What does it feel like?

‎[soft music playing]

[sighs] Nothing.

‎Mm-hmm!

You know this can be forever, right?

-Me and you.
-[sighs]

The baby.

I'm in the middle of a w*r.

Not here, you're not.

Look, you got everything
you need right here.

‎[breathes heavily]

[sighs] And you know, um…

[Isador] I think
this one is gonna make it.

She's gonna push through.

How do you know it's a she?

Cause she get it from her mum.

‎[chuckles]

‎-[man 2] Hmm!
‎-[sighs]

I need to go back to Jo'burg.

No, you don't.

Okay, will you stop?

-No, why don't you stop?
-[tuts]

Aliko's gaining ground.

I can't just turn my back.

Not when my family needs me.

Your family is right here.

The queen has her people.

That's just the way it is.

‎[soft music continues]

You're six months pregnant.

I can handle it.

Yeah?

You already had two miscarriages.

How's that handling it?

Casualties of w*r.

‎[soft music builds]

‎[Isador sighs]

‎[soft music continues]

‎[airplane engine roars]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[elevator beeps]

[attendant] Your attention, please.

‎[PA announcements continue]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

Leon.

‎[tense music resumes]

Welcome back, ma'am.

I thought I told you not to call me ma'am.

Ma'ams are teachers, clerks and cashiers.

Queen.

Sting.

‎[tense music continues]

-[Queen] Hey, sis.
-Hi.

[Sting in Zulu] Let's go.

‎-[car engine starts]
‎-[bike engine revives]

[Queen in English] Get me up to speed.

[sighs] We are holding ground, for now.

Aliko's got his interest
on mineral exports across the board.

Four trucks already hijacked
and it's all over the news.

Yes, he's sloppy.

He's industrious.

Where are we at?

A few good meetings.

And we may have a partnership opportunity

with a political party for a backup.

You know? Big players on the arms front.

So while we're busy talking,
Aliko Bajo is making moves?

We need to move faster, Keneilwe.

-This is w*r.
-w*r needs g*ns.

-w*r needs support.
-[bike engine rumbles]

‎-[tense music plays]
‎-[engine roaring]

[Sting] Go.

‎[tense music plays]

Six o'clock.

‎[engine rumbles]

‎[tense music swells]

‎[car screeching]

‎[Sting groans]

Take the off ramp.

‎[engine rumbling]

‎[wheels screeching]

[Mermaid whispers] Be quiet, he's here.

‎[tense music plays]

‎[can clanks]

‎[tense music crescendos]

[Mermaid whispers] Be quiet, he's here.

‎w*r is here. Be quite.

Go! Go!

‎[car tires screeching]

‎[tense music plays]

I still don't understand
what the f*ck happened out there!

Clearly, we were ambushed.

You keep telling me
something I already know.

How?

Aliko knew what time I'd be arriving.

So I ask again, how?

He's probably got f*cking eyes everywhere.

Do we not have eyes on him?

Someone must have fed him information.

Someone close to us.

Well, then we have to flush out
the f*cking rats.

You're damn right.

Take care of the driver
and the f*cking car.

On it, Queen.

Please, calm down, please.
You want the baby to go full term.

[in Tswana] So please
take care of yourself.

[in English] If I get k*lled
on the side of the highway,

that won't exactly help, will it?

How was the US?

[sighs] It was quiet.

Too quiet, too peaceful.

I could literally hear my own thoughts.

And that wasn't always a good thing.

What kind of thoughts?

I've never seen myself as a mother…

but I really want this one to make it.

Oh, she will.

She will make it.

[huffs] You and Isador
keep calling it a she.

Guesses.

You lost two boys.

I guess we're saying
this one is different.

Let's go inside.

‎[electronic alarm buzzing]

‎[knocking on door]

[officer] Morning call.
Rise and shine, people!

[in Afrikaans] Another
outstanding day in paradise!

-Hustle.
-[metallic door clanking]

‎[prisoners' distant indistinct chatter]

‎[sighs]

‎[tense music plays]

‎[indistinct chattering]

[in Zulu] You know that

just because you
have your dogs on a leash,

doesn't mean they
won't bite you once they get a chance.

You're telling me about leashes?

The same leash you speak of

is the one making
sure you are still alive right now.

‎Hmm!

[in English] You f*cked up.

You left all of us
in Jo'burg and went on your own.

And you had the audacity

to take a shortcut with Gavin Salat?

I had a good plan.

And it was a f*cking perfect heist.

If it was so perfect,
why did Gail Basia catch onto your plan?

Salat threw you under
the bus the first chance he got.

[in Zulu] You're an idiot.

[in English] And there I was
living as a free man,

and your brother bugging me
about how I made you disappear.

Listen here, first of all, don't you dare

talk about my f*cking brother.

And secondly, that's right,
I've been in for five years.

I'm still taking care
of myself as you can see.

You've got nothing under control.

Nobody survives on their own, my man.

Not in here, not out there.

You don't get it, do you?

Neither did Victor Gaxa.

Don't tell me about Victor Gaxa.

He was a cop.

No, Victor Gaxa didn't survive

because he didn't understand
that there's an ecosystem here.

In here,

you figure out what the people want
and you give it to them.

And then what, Mogomotsi? Hmm?

Become a king?

Your problem is that
you don't want to change. Hmm?

Except you've never been a king.

You've always been a delivery man.

I understand Leon
might be bringing in the drugs,

but all that sh*t comes from Salat.

Which means your guys can still
cut out the middleman if he wanted to.

Trust me, I've been there.

Gavin Salat?

Gavin Salat is too
busy playing Jesus out there

to give a f*ck about coming
within a 100 meters of this place.

In here, it's the law of the jungle, son.

I give the RIPs what they want.

A bit of coke…

and all the drugs they need.

What does that do for us?

Keeps the vultures away.

And everybody wins.

‎[snickers]

Tell me, Mogomotsi,

when last did Phumzi
and Simon Jnr. visit you here?

‎Hm?

[scoffs] You see what I mean, my friend…

-[tense music plays]
-Not everybody wins, after all.

You asked me not to mention your brother.

Keep my family out your f*cking mouth.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[prisoners indistinct chattering]

‎[tense music plays]

[Mayor] Just like
every building has an architect,

so does every vision.

It's with great pleasure
that I welcome the visionary

behind our beautiful new community centre.

-[camera shutters clicking]
-A true champion of the community.

Ladies and gentlemen, Gavin Salat.

‎[applause]

‎[tense music plays]

Thank you, Councillor.

Wow, what a beautiful day in Cape Town.

And what beautiful people we have here
to witness this momentous occasion.

Every struggling
neighbourhood needs a safe haven.

Every challenged community

deserves a place where they can rest.

This is more than just a building.

This is a beacon of hope

for the Khoi, my people.

‎[people in the crowd
‎chatters in appreciation]

I pray that my people get
their fair share of opportunities

in a country that's made
every issue about black and white.

[in Afrikaans] It's a bit early
in the day for politics,

[in English] but right on time
for a celebration.

‎[applause]

-Do I cut it?
-Yeah.

‎[applause]

[mayor] Congratulations.

Congratulations.

The city thanks you
for everything you're doing for them.

[Gavin] My pleasure.

‎-[indistinct chattering]
‎-[tense music playing]

[in Afrikaans] Thank you
for what you've done

for our community, Mr. Salat.

I appreciate it.

[in English] It is my absolute pleasure.

Thank you.

Gentlemen.

You must feel proud, no?

I'm more relieved than anything else.

It's been a long journey,
but we are finally here.

Thanks to your most generous investment.

Especially after the change
of contractors.

I have to say, it did make me
wonder if things were going smoothly.

I don't understand.

Change of contractors?

‎[tense beat plays]

[titters] You snip a ribbon,
but the business talk never ends.

‎[dark music plays]

‎[dark music plays]

[Ernie sighs] I can explain.

Full transparency.

Excuse me?

[in Afrikaans] What did you do, Ernie?

[in English] If it wasn't for me,
we'd still be standing on a mount of dirt.

[sighs] So you switched contractors

without my knowledge
and then you pocketed the difference?

How much was it? A million rand?

Two?

Somebody had to put in
the man hours and it was me.

[dark music plays]

Okay.

I hear you, my friend.

I'm sure this is just
a big misunderstanding.

[in Afrikaans] So, tell you what,
come over for dinner tonight.

[in English] Then you
and me will iron this out.

And I think it's best
if we just keep it between us.

Well…

Thank you for seeing it from my side.

Seven pm, my place.

-Saskia makes a k*ller bobotie.
-[chuckles]

Good.

‎[dark music playing]

‎-[eerie and haunting sounds]
‎-Go!

Hello?

Hello?

‎[ominous sounds intensifies]

[whispers] What the f*ck?

‎[ominous growling]

‎[upbeat music playing]

‎[street chatters]

‎[upbeat music continues]

‎Play the dice, man.

‎Hey, you as*h*le. Come here.

‎Come here, man.

Looking sharp, Uncle.

So this food is it from your famous
get-togethers with your important people?

[in Afrikaans] Yes, but I'm here
with my important people.

[scoffs] You're right. From VIPs to RIPs.

So what food have you brought?

It's finger snacks.

I'm sorry, what?

Hello.

-Respect.
-[tense music plays]

Carrim, relax.

There's something I need to have done.

Of course, Uncle.

Name it.

I have a special guest
coming over tonight.


in the driveway. Steal it.

[in Afrikaans] Make it disappear.

No one must see you.

[in English] And no one
comes knocking on my door.

Understand?

Your command is our wish.

[in Afrikaans] Enjoy, boys.

Thank you, Uncle.

Guys, come eat.

‎Eat the food.

‎[indistinct chatters]

‎[ominous growls]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[crickets chirping]

‎[knock on door]

[Gavin] Ernie, my good friend.

Thank you for coming.

Welcome.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

Ernie, you remember Saskia?

So good to see you again, Ernie.

Likewise. [sniffs]

Something smells good.

Oh, you know.

‎[suspenseful music continues]

Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes.

Perfect.

Ernie and I just have to catch up quickly.

‎[suspenseful music continues]

[Gavin] You know, Ernie…

I've been blessed
to enjoy good fortune that

only a few descendants
of the Khoi people have ever had.

And therefore I am very grateful.

However, in all fairness,
I can't take all the credit.

I owe a great deal
of my good luck to a very,

very old relative we like to call Oom.

‎[suspenseful music continues]

Oom?

Yeah.

A real character.

He's been a part
of our family a very, very long time.

‎[ominous music plays]

‎[door creaks]

I think it's time the two of you meet.

Okay.

‎[door creaks]

‎-[door bangs shut]
‎-[tense music plays]

‎[creature growling]

What the hell?

‎[tense music continues]

‎-[Ernie grunting]
‎-[creature growling]

‎[Ernie chocking]

‎-[creature growls]
‎-[Ernie screams]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[teacup clinks]

‎[car engine starts]

‎[Gavin sighs]

‎[door opens]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[Gavin whistling]

‎[inhales]

What a pity.

I cooked so much food.

Leftovers for the week, my love.

‎[tense music playing]

‎[birds chirping]

‎-[laughing]
‎-[gentle music plays]

‎Auntie.

[lady sighs] Hello, my pumpkin.

Have you seen Simon?

You know what?

He went that way.

[in Zulu] Let me tell you.
You know where you'll find him?

You will find him hiding in the cupboard.

-Okay? [chuckles]
-[girl chuckles]

‎-[Phumzi sighs]
‎-I'm going o find you Simon.

[lady] Simon is so patient with Naledi.

[Phumzi sighs] It's his little sister.

‎[both laughing]

[in English] It's so nice
of him to have some family time.

Absolutely.

Have you been to see Mo recently?

Not for a while.

-I actually, I don't blame you.
-[Phumzi sighs heavily]

I can't keep on
taking my child to that place.

It doesn't do anything for him.
It's confusing and scary.

Yeah.

I mean, Tlotlo and I
were just speaking about that.

[in Zulu] We don't want
Naledi to see all of that.

[in English] Yeah, and she won't.

Hey, Simon Junior sees him
for 20 minutes every few weeks.

-"And oh, by the way, that's your father".
-Hmm!

He can't play with you,

he can't help you with your homework,

-he can't read you a bedtime story."
-[Mimi] Sure.

"But there he is, behind bars."

No, I won't allow
my child to grow up in that world.

We want the same for Naledi.

We're thinking of going to Cape Town.

To live with my mum.

New city, new life.

That's lovely.

‎[electronic alarm buzzing]

‎[tense music plays]

[inmate 1 in Afrikaans] From now on,
we're going to get him.

‎[indistinct chattering]

Hey, listen. Let's get him
and show him where the numbers stand.

-Together.
-[inmate 2] For sure.

[inmate 1] Let's march.

‎-[indistinct chattering]
‎-[tense music playing]

‎Hey, bro.

‎[grunts]

‎Hello.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[weird cackling]

‎-[indistinct chattering]
‎-[man exclaiming loudly]

‎[tense music continues]

‎[Lester whistling]

[inmate 1] Hey.

Mo's little pig.

f*ck you, man.
I'm nobody's nothing. Get out of my way.

Oh?

[in English] Shame he's nobody's nothing.

That's sad, my brother.

Real sad.

But guess what?

Outjie is here to give you a kiss
to make it all better, my brother.

Piss off!

Take him, my brother.

-[Outjie] Get him.
-[Lester grunts]

-Hey, you. Hey, you.
-[Lester pants]

-Don't think I'm an idiot.
-[Lester continues panting]

Outjie can end you right now!

‎[Lester panting]

f*ck.

-Jo'burg boys.
-[Lester continues panting]

Gotta f*cking love you, guys.

You think you can buy everything, right?

Mo schemes because he brings
in our product, we answer to him?

[in Afrikaans] Bullshit!

We answer to nobody
but the OG, Uncle Gavin.

Uncle Gavin…

‎[huffs]

…let's Mo keep it to keep us happy.

‎[Oom growls]

[Outjie] You see your friend
is around his pinky, my brother.

[in English] No protection.

No immunities.

f*ck all.

And when we find
our own way of getting the stuff in…

we find our own way
to take you m*therf*ckers out.

[in Afrikaans] Do you
understand, piggy-boy?

‎[tense music plays]

‎[whistles]

[inmate 2] Outjie.

‎[suspenseful beats play]

‎[inmate 2 whistles]

[Outjie] Why are you making a noise?

Here, take this.

Stand up straight, mister.
Don't be a wimp.

Let's march.

‎[tense music playing]

‎[Oom growls]

[Leon in English] Alright, maggots!

It looks like we've got a little problem.

Most of you know about the shitstorm
on the way back from the airport.

You see, some of you know…

because you heard.

But one of you,

one of you f*ck know

because you were in on it.

[Sting] Quit with the foreplay.

f*ck these dogs.

Leave it to me.

Here's the thing,

we know who it is.

We know who leaked the details
of the time and place to Aliko Bajo.

But this is how it's gonna go down.

I'm not going to out you.

Oh no no no.

You are gonna out yourself…

‎[tense music plays]

if you wanna f*cking live.

-[g*n c*ck]
-[yells] f*ck living!

Let me remind you m*therf*ckers,

we know your families.

We know your friends.

Where they live,

and where they go to school!

Last chance.

Fess up! Come on!

‎[eerie whooshing]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[eerie whooshing]

‎[eerie growls]

Why?

Is it the money?

Blackmail?

Loyalty?

‎[tense music continues]

‎[huffs]

Fear.

‎[eerie growling]

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I know.

I believe you.

But it's time to go now.

Let's go.

You need a hand?

[Sting] Don't stress, I've got it.

How did you know?

Woman's intuition.

‎[tense music plays]

[Mo] You sure about the move?

Yes.

-[old man] Yes.
-[Mo in Zulu] Why don't you reverse

that move while you have a chance?

‎[tense music plays]

Gosh.

[Mo] So what are you going to do?

I think… yeah, it was twice.

-Oh.
-I've beaten you twice now.

-[in Afrikaans] Oh, f*cking c**t.
-f*cking c**t.

‎[both laughing]

You're getting old.

-[old man] Oh, yeah.
-[Mo] But it's just a game.

-[Mo] Please give us space, gentlemen.
-[old man] Yes.

[in English] Speak
to Mr Lester Khuzwayo here.

‎[tense beats playing]

How can I help you, my man?

‎[Lester sighs]

Masire.

[in Zulu] You're having the time
of your life with these old men,

by telling yourself
that you've got a hold on the situation.

You aren't running anything here.

You know what?

I'm confused because you know Gavin Salat,

more than those who see him
as the hero of the common people.

[in English] But let me tell you
something about that heist.

It wasn't as easy as I thought.

Everything went according to plan.

We hit a few trucks with cocaine
because Salat knew the haul.

But what he didn't know was that there
was 30 million cash in transit that day.

[in Zulu] The RIP boys knew that.

They were with me.

We could have split
that money with no trace,

without Salat knowing about it.

But instead, none of them took anything.

That's because they're afraid of him.

The driver wasn't an RIP member.

He suggested that
the money be split amongst us.

Easy like that, calmly so.

No big deal.

But after mentioning that,
they burnt him alive.

Now you can see
that these RIP boys of Salat

[Lester] were brainwashed a longtime.

He recruits street kids.

Then he sponsors them.

Takes care of their families,
pays their children's doctors' bills.

Once he's tattooed his made men

with a symbol of the eland
spirit animal of the Khoisan,

he asks for only one thing from them…

For them to k*ll on command.

Now you…

You, Mogomotsi Masire,

think your charm is enough
for them to switch to team Mo?

Who are you kidding?

‎[indistinct chattering in background]

[in English] I can handle it.

‎[snickers]

[in Zulu] You live in a fairytale, hey?
You must be brain damaged.

By the time you snap
out of it is when you realize

you have a f*cking knife
stuck to your skull.

Do you understand?

[in English] Just like I said,

-I can handle him.
-[Lester scoffs]

[in Zulu] You know what,
Mogomotsi? Better call that old man

and continue playing
this game acting like the kings.

Because in this place,
in this place, Mo, you mean f*ck all!

[Lester tuts] Who do you
think you are? Hmm? Mandela?

[tuts] The problem
is you're full of sh*t, man!

‎-[sighs]
‎-[tense music continues]

‎[sentimental music playing]

‎[phone ringing]

‎[phone ringing]

[in English] Hey.

Hey.

[Isador] How's Jo'burg?

[Vero] I got off to a rough start.

Things are a lot worse
here than I thought.

What do you mean worse?

We got ambushed after leaving the airport.

Aliko Bajo?

You okay?

Yeah.

And the baby?

[Isador] Vero?

Everything is fine. [sighs]

It's under control.

I'm going to fly over there.

No.

Are you sure?

Yeah, definitely.

Look, I need to ask you something.

And I want you to be straight with me.

‎[sighs]

You know I'm straight as they come.

What would happen
between you and me if, um…

if I couldn't have this baby?

What do you mean, if you couldn't have it?

You having symptoms?

No, I mean…

if something happened.

It's me and you, baby or no baby.

You already know how I feel about you.

‎[huffs]

Actually, I don't… you never say it.

[Isador] I tell you all the time.

Not the words.

You wanna hear words?

‎[inhales]

You're my queen and I'm your king.

How's that?

Good.

Because I can't promise you anything more,

ever.

Vero, what does that mean?

I have to go.

I'll call you later.

‎[line disconnects]

‎[sighs]

‎[sighs]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[gagging]

‎[tense music plays]

‎[Vero coughing]

‎[sighs]

‎[tense music continues]

‎[sighs]

‎[gentle music playing]

It kicked.

Can I feel?

‎[gentle music continues]

‎[gasps]

She's strong, Vero.

-[sighs]
-You know, um…

the first two times,

you were different.

I mean, you wouldn't allow
yourself to get touched.

But something's changed, hasn't it?

Has something changed in you, sis?

Changed, how?

Well, the expecting mother's glow.

[in Tswana] At least
I was told I was glowing.

But you didn't glow.

-Glow?
-Yes, but now…

I can see it.

I'm talking about the aura.

[in English] You know,
the light in your eyes

that you're trying so hard to hide.

-But you can't.
-[slow music continues]

Not this time.

‎-[eerie sounds play]
‎-And you know what…

It's going to make a difference.

‎[music shifts to auspicious]

I know it.

[in Zulu] You're beautiful, my sister.

[in Tswana] You're glowing.

Allow it to happen.

[in English] Okay?

‎[auspicious music playing]

‎[tense music plays]

[Sting in Tswana] The only thing
I hate more than the enemy,

is a traitor.

You're a piece of sh*t.

[traitor] Sting, please, my brother.

You don't have to do this.

"You don't have to do this."

Let me tell you something, brother…

Dead men need new lines.

‎[engine rumbling]

‎sh*t! Give me your phone.

[in English] You took my f*cking phone!

‎[apprehensive music play]

‎sh*t!

Aliko is tracking you. Perfect!

‎-[apprehensive music continues]
‎-[engine rumbling]

‎sh*t.

‎[engine rumbling]

‎[apprehensive music continues]

‎[tense beats playing]

‎[groans]

‎f*ck!

f*ck.[pants]

‎[groans]

‎[electronic alarm buzzes]

‎[engine beeps]

‎[electronic alarm buzzes]

‎[suspenseful beats playing]

‎[electronic alarm buzzes]

‎[tense music plays]

[inmate] Good sh*t, bro.

That should keep things
nice and calm in here.

For a while.

‎Hmm!

Let's hurry up in here, guys.

‎[tense music playing]

‎[prisoners indistinct chattering]

‎[tense music continues]

‎[sighs]

How you keeping, King?

I'm holding up.

The detergents have all been replenished.

So that should keep things
nice and clean around here.

Good.

It's a good thing you're here.

Things have been
getting messy around here.

Anything I can do?

Politics.

And Lester?

The RIPs want him dead.

‎[huffs]

Nothing new.

The novelty of bringing
the product to sling is wearing off.

So what's the play?

Hold tight.

Focus.

Keep your head down.

[sighs] Speaking of out there,

Vero is more pregnant than ever.

Third?

f*ck, no.

‎[huffs]

How's she coping?

Look, Aliko is putting a lot of pressure.

But, you know, she's fine.

Does she know about
what you're doing for me in here?

No.

What about my kids?

As far as I know, all is good.

Phumzi got a job teaching,
and she lives in a safe little suburb.

‎[indistinct chattering in background]

Just make sure you give
her something from me, alright?

Sure, no problem.

Alright.

Uh, King…

Sting and I have got your back.

I have no doubt about that.

[Leon] Yeah, I know.

‎[sniffs]

‎[tense music playing]

‎[man grunting]

[in Afrikaans] Okay, that's enough.

-That's fine.
-[traitor grunting]

It's f*cking hot out here.

‎[panting]

[panting] Sting,
please my brother.give me one second.

I'm begging you, please.

No, I know.

I understand, my friend.
I don't need to do this.

-She told me already.
-[breathy] Okay, my brother.

Where are you going, mosquito?

How did she know, my brother?

-What are you talking about?
-She knew it was me.

I didn't move.

But Vero knew.

She knew because you stink like a rat.

[in English] Something is not right
with her. I'm telling you, Sting.

What the hell are you talking about?

My brother,

when she walked to me
and looked straight into my eyes.

I saw in her eyes, they weren't right.

Make sense, m*therf*cker.

Okay, listen, my brother.

Her eyes were blue.

Like an ocean.

I'm telling you,
my brother, I'm telling you.

I could see it in her eyes.

[sigh] My brother, that person…

-she's working with the demon.
-[scoffs]

[in English] Yeah, you're right.

She's working with me.

‎[groans]

‎[tense music plays]

Get the bags.

[man in Afrikaans] Listen up.

I said, hold on.

Don't mess anything.

f*ck all!

‎[tense music playing]

Great, it's ready.

Let's get it packed up.

Pack it in there.

I want to get it to market.

‎[tense music continues]

‎[tense music continues]

‎[lively music playing]

‎[sighs]

[in English] My angel.

-Bath time in the next five minutes, okay?
-[video game dings]

I'm not even dirty.

No arguing.

The game finishes in like ten minutes.

Okay, then bath time
in the next like ten minutes.

No negotiating.

As good as you are at it.

‎[scoffs]

‎[door bell ringing]

Leon.

Ma'am.

This suburb doesn't suit you.

Yeah.

I went to go and see Mo.

‎Mm-hmm!

He wanted to know how you were.

And how your boy's doing.

I said you're both fine.

We are.

He wanted you to have this.

To help with things.

[inhales] Tell Mo we don't need help.

Not the Masire kind.

What we do need
is for our son to have a normal life.

Normal life?

Not able to make ends meet,
scraping through on a teacher's salary?

Normal might mean
a kitchen cupboard that isn't always full,

but everything that is in it
was earned honestly.

The hard way.

Without bloodshed.

No disrespect, ma'am,

but there's not a banknote in this world

that doesn't have blood on it.

Just take it.

Something nice.

Something that helps.

Tell your son it's from his father,

and keep it honest,

as you like to say.

Take it.

‎[tense music playing]

How's Mo doing?

You know Mo.

If you didn't see the bars,
you wouldn't know he's behind them.

‎[engine revving]

[Outjie in Afrikaans] Okay, guys.
You guys need to keep an eye, okay?

I see some of the guys
are trying to fool us in the yard.

When the product arrives,
you must distribute it quickly.

-Yes.
-Yes?

Good.

And Mo's crew, you need to keep
an eye on them… Especially you.

-You understand me?
-[RIP inmate] Yes, sir.

[Outjie] Cool! Stick together.

Keep an eye on Mo's crew.

Yes.

[chuckles] Wow.

Mr Mo, the big guy.

Looking all serious.

‎[tense music plays]

‎[Mo sighs]

[in English] I thought we had a deal,
my man.

Deal?

I see a lot of happy customers.

Evidently, you know what you're doing.

Except for one thing, my man.

Taking care of your supplier.

And by supplier,
I assume you're talking about you.

Me and Lester.

Touch Lester again,

you and I are f*cking done.

Are you talking
about the knife against the little cheek?

Ah, did piggy-boy cry over that?

‎Huh!

I hope you heard me.

Touch Lester again

-and we're f*cking done.
-Whoa.

Whoa.

You think you're the big boss.

Well, the real big boss, my boss…

[Outjie] he's watching.

He's always watching.

And who's that?

Gavin Salat?

‎[scoffs]

Yeah, you'll find
your ways of bringing it in,

but it comes from my Uncle Gavin.

So don't get it twisted.

We're running the f*cking show.

But, since you wanna be the big boss,

you know, walking up to me
like you're a f*cking king of the jungle,

I've got a new deal for you, my brother.

g*ns.

g*ns?

g*ns.

[Outjie] Chief wanna keep piggy-boy safe,

you get me g*ns.

That's clearly a personal request.

Because Gavin Salat would never request
something as dumb as that.

Well, my uncle knows I love my toys.

Forget about it. [huffs]

-Not gonna happen.
-[Outjie] Hmm!

Yeah, it's challenging, sure.

But…

so is holding back my homeboys
from cutting piggy-boy's throat.

You, think about it.

Come on, boys.

‎[Oom growls]

‎[tense music plays]

‎[Sting sighs]

You off the clock?

[tuts] Yeah, there's no one here.

The rat?

Fertilizing flowers.

Sting,

you're thinking so hard
you're giving me a headache.

What's up?

How the f*ck did we get
away from that ambush today?

f*ck if I know.

No, my brother.

Way Aliko stood there,
like he couldn't see us coming at him.

And then the rat.

How the f*ck did Vero
know that the rat was the rat?

It could have been any one of them.

But she knew.

What's your point?

[sighs] Look Leon,

you and I, we've seen a lot
of sh*t working for the Masire's, right?

-Right.
-sh*t we couldn't always understand.

sh*t we knew better

than to ask the boss about.

And?

[sighs] I just can't help wondering

who the hell
it is that we're really working for.

Uh-oh.

You and I have been
in this game for long enough to know

if you ask questions like that,

it will get you f*cking k*lled, man.

I'm not talking about the king,
nor the queen.

But something behind them.

Something we keep seeing
and keep f*cking ignoring.

The rat.

Just before I shot him,

he said he saw
something demonic in her eyes.

[scoffs] The guy was about 30 seconds
from meeting his maker.

‎[chuckles]

Do you think he was right in his head?

Come on, Sting.

Okay, take me for a fool.

But Leon, I know bullshit.

That wasn't it.

‎[tense music plays]

‎-[eerie creature growling]
‎-[tense music plays]

[Mermaid in Tswana] It is now time.

Time for you to sacrifice the third child.

Not this child.

I will not lose this child.

Your heart has become soft and weak.

You'll lose everything you have.

I'm aware.

Or…

Or what?

You k*ll for me.

I don't understand.

To give the child life in this world,

you must take another life for me.

‎[tense music plays]

Who do I have to k*ll?

There's a man.

He has the same
power as you, ancient power.

You must k*ll him
in order to save your child.

Who's that man?

Gavin Salat.

His life…

for your unborn child's protection.
