01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

I'm going!

Bye-bye.

Here, put this on. He wants you
girls turning up gift-wrapped.

I'm not dressing as a f*cking
Christmas present, Jimmy.

(Jimmy) You be nice.

Mister Heidt asked for you
to be there specifically, hey?

Oh! We're going to Christine's
boyfriend's house again.

You looking for a klap now?
You are.

(indistinct chatter)

(upbeat music)

(ominous music)

(Christine) Let's make some money!

-Mister De Klerk.
-Where does he find you girls?

Mister Heidt throws a good party.

-What can I get you?
-There you are!

Come, I have to show you something.

Bye!

(upbeat music)

(Vanessa) Imagine waking up
to all of this.

What, you wouldn't?

I'd sell it all, and move as far
away from the city as possible.

I like a big garden,
you know, grow some veggies.

Grow some veggies?

I... no, I can't see you
doing that.

Well, okay, like,

wear dresses where actually
you get to wear underwear

do you know what I mean?

-Okay. I...
-Thank you.

-I agree with you.
-Yeah.

-God, what does...
-(women laughing)

(man clears throat)

Ladies. Am I interrupting?

(Vanessa) Good luck.

Made this myself.
Corpse Reviver Number Two.

If you can tell
how much booze is in there

then I have messed up.

-Mmm. Gin.
-(Heidt) Mmm.

-Cointreau.
-(Heidt) Easy.

Vermouth?

-Very impressive.
-Misspent youth.

-It's nice to see you again.
-It's a good turn-out tonight.

Yeah, they're a horrible bunch,
you know.

A party here, a few favours there,
they all remember to say

thank you when the time comes.

I'm sure they're very grateful.

They're easy enough
to keep in line.

Simple men, simple pleasures.

I should probably go,
you know, earn my keep.

How much were you hoping to earn?

Some of your colleagues have
a more... flexible attitude to

the services they have on offer.

You have a very nice evening,
Mister Heidt.

-I said call me Anton.
-(Christine) Dickhead.

h* h* h*. Merry Christmas!

(guests cheer)

(upbeat music)

(eerie music)

Oh, my God.

(Christine) Help me!
Help, please! Help, help!

-(officer) Can I help?
-(Christine) I saw a dead body.

It was somewhere in Constantia.

(knocks on door)

Ms Van Rooyen, hi.
Detective Cruywagen. Otto.

Sorry, I know it has
been a long night.

It's a good job you got
to us first.

-Are you alright?
-What time is it?

Please, they took my phone,
and I really need to make...

A call. Of course.

Look we think it's best if we get
you to a safe house, asap.

A safe house?

(Cruywagen) Yes, some place
Anton Heidt can't find you.

Just keep it casual.

-(Otto) Let's go.
-Follow me.

(mellow music)

-(Cruywagen) Let's go.
-What is this place?

(Cruywagen) A safe house.

I want my phone.

Please. I have to call my mom.

Please, Ms Van Rooyen,
we just need to get you

to somewhere safe first.

(eerie music)

(Otto) Miss, Miss.

We're just trying to help you.
Okay?

(Otto) Come on. Miss?

I don't believe you.

(Christine screams)

Please don't!

(heavy breathing)

No! Please, please, please!
Please, don't do this!

Please, Anton. Don't do this!

(Anton shushing)

Did you tell anyone apart
from these two men about this?

No, no, nobody. I swear.

No, no, nobody, please.

I won't ever, please,
you can stop this please,

tell them, please. I'll do
anything, anything, I swear.

Well, if you'd done what I wanted,

we wouldn't be here right now,
would we?

I have a daughter!

A little girl, Sonia.

Oh, she needs her Mom.

Please, Mister Heidt.

(Christine) Anton!

Don't make her grow up alone!

I'll do anything for her.
Anything, anything at all.

Whatever you want.

(emotional music)

Take a seat, there.
It's almost done.

Have something to eat.

So, look, uh, business first.

I have to ask what was it you saw?

It was dark. I didn't see properly.

(Anton) Look,
we can make this work.

I just have
to know I can trust you.

You can. You can trust me, I swear.

My daughter. She's...

she's probably waiting for me.

Of course. Yeah.

After you've eaten
then go to the bedroom.

I'll drive you home afterwards.

Hey. You need to go anywhere
you call me, I'll send a driver.

And you're done with Jimmy.
No more nights like that.

In case you need anything.

-(children laughing)
-(horn blowing)

Howzit, bru?

-You had breakfast?
-You call that breakfast?

What's got you all
hot and bothered, brother?

-Have you got anything for me?
-I'm here for you, aye, Ben.

Large AM gets into
elevator six twenty five.

We get a partial in a few seconds
but nothing close to an ID.

No gloves, but not
a single fingerprint anywhere.

He probably put something
on his fingertips.

-Hmm.
-This guy knows what he's doing.

Did you see that?

Check the head turns
at every camera.

Definitely
counter-surveillance training.

Is there someone
at Domestic you can check with?

Yeah, I'll make a call.

(Ben) Do we have any idea
how this guy left?

Yeah, Andy actually found it.

(Jamie) Come have a look at this.

-This is some Spiderman sh*t?
-Mmm.

Thing I don't get,
they went at each other.

So why not just pop back
of the head, be done with it?

Well, same as Davids,
same as the p*mps.

There's a logic to it, a process.

A duel to the death.

I think he wants them
to know why they die.

Maybe he just wants them
to confess something.

You okay, bru?

Bingo.

-(woman) Why am I here?
-Reyneke took your boy.

I think on behalf of someone else.

-Did he tell you who?
-No. But give me time.

You inspire us. To not just wait.

And we are grateful.

You find the man
who kidnapped my Jacob.

(in Xhosa)

(in English)
Please. Make sure that he suffers.

(Ben) I took this right
after finding Reyneke.

Forensics reckon I was there
no more than an hour,

after the k*ller left, if you
take a look at this, right here?

See someone had
rearranged the books.

We had a techie take
a look at the safe.

He reckons it wasn't forced open.

You think the k*ller returned
after you arrived on the scene?

Yeah. I mean...

The only other people
that were cops.

Okay, so whatever was in
that safe was important enough

for the k*ller to re-enter
the scene, or for one

of ours to risk taking it.

The question is, why?

Well, look, I think he has
a method right?

One that suggests morality,
a code even.

Because look at Davids,
look at the p*mps, you know.

That was vicious and angry. This...

I don't know. Seems calculated.

He read the story,
he hunted him down.

Punished him for taking the kid.

But why would Reyneke do it?

(Jamie) If he was a pedo, he hid
it better than CI can find.

No history of kiddy abuse,
taste in porn is vanilla.

Just doing my job.

What if it was for somebody else?

I mean those
private security boys do

the worst sh*t for a buck.

Someone with enough money,
enough power got one

of our guys to clean house.

So you think whoever ordered
for that safe to be emptied...

Also maybe... hired Reyneke
to take the boy, yeah.

I mean if that's true
and our k*ller knew that...

Well, then maybe we
have our next target.

-It's quite interesting.
-It's wooly.

Put some meat on the bones,
background on Reyneke, clients.

In the meantime, I'll look into
any cops who visited the scene.

(protestor in Xhosa)

(woman in Xhosa)

(in English)
Can I help you?

(in Xhosa)

(in English)
Ja, so?

Well, does that mean, you have
someone helping you already?

(in Xhosa)

(mellow music)

(man on phone)
Hi, Bonnie.

I wondered if you'd call.

Yeah, no, uh, b*llet wounds,
no public toilets

this time, I promise.

I just, uh, I...

I wanted to stop by.
Can I come and see you?

Why don't you come by the office?

-I'll be there.
-(Bonnie) I'll see you now now.

(Boef) Hey.

-There you are.
-Hey.

Just had a call, out in Langa,
house surrounded by a howling mob

with assegais.

(Ben) Let's go!

f*ck, Keyter, d'you think
your Vin Diesel or some sh*t?

He wishes he had my hair.

But you know for a boring
doos like you,

lekker pop culture reference.

(Ben) Taxi, bru.

Bru, watch the taxi, Jamie!

I saw it man, thanks for
making me deaf in one ear.

(Boef) Hey!

SAPS, out of the way! Move!

Move! Move!

(officer) Get these people
under control now.

-(overlapping voices)
-(ominous music)

(officer 2) Stay away!

(indistinct voices echoing)

People encountering this office
in the middle of the day

must think
it looks like total chaos.

-Is there an order to it?
-Yeah, it's all alphabetical.

Well, here, we have abuse,
domestic, as*ault physical

as*ault sexual, and all the way
over here weirdo's general.

-It's a joke.
-Xola, had one of these?

Maybe meeting you here
was not a good idea.

No, no.

I'm sorry. Ignore that.

Okay, do you want to do lunch?

I know a place
that does Thai nearby.

Detective, is this the work
of the same assegai k*ller?

Oh, f*ck sakes. No comment,
speak to Press Liaison.

Well, is it a copycat k*lling?

Are you finally gonna admit
that crime in this city is out

of control, and SAPS is...

Hey, Griessel,
why don't you tell us

how the not drinking is going?

Come here, bru...

Stay the f*ck away from me and
my family, you piece of sh*t.

Or what, Benny? You gonna hit me?

You gonna hit me?

You know my wife thinks
you have a tiny d*ck.

-A d*ck joke?
-Shut the f*ck up, man.

(Ben) Uh, victim's name
was Lungi Sakala.

A released pedophile,
been on the list three years now.

(Themba) And you don't think
this is our Assegai k*ller?

Well, it depends
on your perspective.

(Themba) Well, I hear Madikiza's
suppliers have been spooked

by the Shebeen's shutdown.

Cancelled his last shipment.
I mean he's scrambling.

Maybe we catch him slipping up.

Or maybe we catch him
with an assegai in his chest.

(Themba) How's it going
with Reyneke's employer?

(Ben) Ja, I've got a meeting

with his old
security dipshits later.

And I've got Moses over at
Domestic pulling files based

on the profile we've got so far.

-So we'll find him.
-Yeah, I know you will.

Hey, um... you spoken to Anna yet?

-Ah, bro...
-Listen,

you know you can stay
as long as you want.

Thanks, man. But I betta
get out of your hair.

Besides, that room kinda...

-Yeah don't say it.
-Yeah.

The rooms the pits, we know?

We can't get
that smell out of there.

It's probably half the reason
Ash and I don't fight,

because he's too scared
to sleep in there.

Got anything on the empty safe?

Running background on all our guys.

Anomalies in income,
red flags, family expenditure.

The works.

(Ben)I can do it if you want, just
so everybody knows we are clean.

(Themba)
No, no, it's good. I am on it.

Reyneke took someone's kid.

And we have reason
to believe it was on behalf

of one of your clients.

Right, and now your boss'
k*ller is after said client.

What, I think you boys want,
is to help us find said client.

Coz what you probably don't
want is said k*ller forcing said

client into revealing what else
he's had you boys do for him. So...

Who wants to go first?

Listen, bru.

If Reyneke had a little
under-the-table arrangement,

it's the first we're hearing of it.

Check our books, by all means.

But you think we're
worried about someone coming

at one of us with a spear.

Let him. We'll see what happens.

Sorry, we couldn't be more helpful.

You a cop once?

-Commercial crimes.
-Suit brigade, eh?

Bet it was the pay
that made you leave.

Don't blame you.
Anything comes up, hey?

Moses, bru,
you gotta be f*cking kidding me.

Every African male in the age
group that you asked for,

with military
or counter-surveillance training.

Did I not ask you
to narrow it down?

This is narrowed down.

Ja, point taken, f*ck you,
I'm gonna go through all of them.

Listen don't be a d*ck, help me
get these boxes in the car.

I've got my own stuff.

Such a nice guy.

Okay. I get that yeah. It's cool.

Oh, at his point he's now insulting
the judge's intelligence.

-(indistinct talking)
-(foreboding music)

Maybe I've got a double
on the twin.

-I need to ask you something.
-Mmm.

Do you get a lot of cases uh,
unsolved cases

coming across your desk?

I wish there were fewer.

But anything that happens
to a child in the Western Cape,

I hear about it.
Do you wanna try mine?

I read about this uh,
man who got k*lled yesterday.

Johan Reyneke?

-Did you know who he was?
-Yeah.

I knew who he was.

(foreboding music)

They said he'd harmed a kid,
in an unsolved case.

Didn't seem like the type.

Maybe he was the type.

You know what they say
about appearances, right?

Or maybe he isn't the type.

Just maybe working
for someone who is.

Why are you asking me
about a man who was m*rder*d?

(Thobela) Press it tight!

You call an ambulance!

(Bonnie) Thobela!

(man on the phone)
I'm here with someone at the park.

Someone's been stabbed.

(Thobela) Stand there.

(Sonia) Look, look, Momma.
I look like you.

(in Dutch)

(in English)
Christine!

Your boyfriend's here.

-(Sonia) Uncle Anton! Uncle Anton!
-There's my angel!

Does Sonia want a sweet?

Our little secret,
don't tell Mommy.

Speaking of...
doesn't mummy look beautiful?

And for the cherry on top.

And don't you worry,
Mrs Van Rooyen,

back by tomorrow morning as always.

Bye.

Get us a table.

(Bonnie's voicemail) This is
Advocate Bonnie Mtetea here.

Leave a message.

(staff singing birthday song)

-(Thobela) So what's your name?
-Someguy.

-Someguy?
-Ja. I was named after my father.

(waiter)
Here is a burger for you, Sir.

And a medium steak for you, Sir.

-(Thobela) How did you find me?
-Boss put a tracker on your bike.

And I followed it.

Who sent you to k*ll me?

I image it was not dreamed
up by a twelve-year-old.

-I'm fourteen.
-Oh, my apologies.

You k*lled a white guy. Important.

Boss boss is pissed.

(in Xhosa)

(in English)
The white guy?

Was he a friend, of your boss boss?

-(Thobela) Is he working for him?
-Yeah.

I guess that's the reason
why he sent us.

Who is your boss boss?

Tell me. Why you got all this cash?

I'd been saving it up.

For someone
who doesn't need it any more.

(Thobela) Give me a name.

Do you know where I can find him?

Hey.

You have hurt a friend
of mine very badly.

(in Xhosa)

(in English)
I've been patient with you.

My patience will run out.

-(Christine) Who's coming tonight?
-Marco, Red, Gumede.

They handle the nightclub stuff.

They'll like you,
they like to see me happy.

I wanna know what you
think of the boys, eh?

Just hit the side of the cooker,
it's a little temperamental

and give it a proper slap man.

(man) I've tried, boss,
I've made offer after offer.

Came in hard, he's not...

No, no, don't be a chop,
you don't go in there so direct,

like a hard d*ck or some sh*t.

Tell him you work for me.

-(indistinct voices echoing)
-(ominous music)

I want you to think about it.
Get an apartment for your Mom.

(Christine) Yeah,
but Sonia's school is there

and all her friends.

I mean it would be unfair
to uproot her like that and...

It'd be much safer. For you. Sonia.

Safe. What do you mean safe?

(Christine)
No, we're fine where we are.

Well, I want you to think about it.

I won't let my girls
live in a sh*thole.

I am not asking.

(Mrs Van Rooyen)
Chris, are you okay?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Is it... did he?
You have to leave him.

If he has done something,
we have to call the police.

No, Mom, okay, I can't,
you just, you can't...

I'm trying. I am trying,
so just please...

please.

(Mrs Van Rooyen)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'll think of something.

I will, I'll find a way for us
to get away from him.

(Ben) I'm an alcoholic.

Um, my buddy Boef here,
some of you may know what we do.

Uh, most of our guys drink
to deal with it, cause it's uh...

It's a lot.
I used to be okay. I was...

Just lacquer for a while.

Then my wife um...

was...

my wife got pregnant
so I need to fix it and it'd be

better for my little girl.

So that's why I'm here.

Cool.

(emotional music)

You look rough.

Ja, I can't say I feel any better.

(in Afrikaans)

I got an apartment, close by,

so if you and Carla need anything,
I'll be around.

-Thanks.
-Yeah.

Did you tell Le Grange,
I thought he had a small d*ck?

No, but if that's the rumour
going around, you know...

Makes sense because...

Yeah, but, it's never
been an issue for me, so.

Oh, that's funny,
you're still funny.

Anna, I'm really scared, you know.

What if I can't do this?

Six months sober.

And then?

I don't know. Then we'll see.

If it's not enough,
then I guess it's not enough.

Okay.

(Anton on phone)
Is there anything I can get you?

(Christine on phone) It's just
the flu, baby. It'll pass.

(Anton) And did you think any more
about what we spoke about?

You guys moving in?

Yeah. I'm feeling good about it.

Uh, I gotta go.
I'll call you back later.

Make sure she's in bed by...

Seven. I know how to take
care of my daughter, thanks.

(Dylan) Where's your mom?

She's out doing something for me.

-Why isn't she here?
-She'll be back soon.

Don't f*cking start,
Dylan, not tonight.

Why, hmm? In case
I make it harder for you

to shake that a*s for that
someone special tonight?

(scoffs) Yes.

(loud upbeat music)

Going out with a bang, huh?

Just gimme my money,
and shut the f*ck up.

(Christine on phone) Mom, it's me.

Make sure you and Sonia
are packed, we'll leave

as soon as I get back. I love you.

(Boef) So.

Just a little bit
of light reading then.

Ja.

So you think the k*ller's
in here somewhere?

Well, the same way the needle's
in the haystack somewhere.

Listen.
Thanks for sorting this place.

It's a sh*t h*le, but it's okay.
Plus I'm only five doors down.

Ja, in the penthouse sh*t h*le.

(background chatter)

(in Shona)
Bloody thieves.

(in English) I'd like
to throw bottles, if I got 'em.

Got one to piss himself once.
That was a good shot.

So are you uh,
the new neighbor or what?

-Ja.
-And what is it you boys do?

We're cops.

Oh, for f*ck sakes.

Howzit, Griessel?

Be in ten minutes. I'm on my way.

Yeah. I'll see him now.

-If the others hear about this...
-They won't.

Look, our SARS search turned up
nothing on Reyneke's accounts.

Okay, payments invoiced,

cross-referenced,
and accounted for.

We must be missing something.

It'd take SARS years
to untangle the companies

who own the companies,
who pay our guys' companies.

So who was Reyneke working for?

Come on, bru,
if you want to help, this is it.

I want it all to stop.
It's getting worse and worse.

I don't have any names for you.
But uh...

Just give me what you have.

(Anton) Fun day, was it?

Please, baby, I can explain...

I have questions, Christine.

Number one,
are you f*cking this guy?

What?

Are you f*cking this guy? Yes or...

No! No, no, no, no, no.

-(Christine) No, no.
-(Dylan) No.

He's just, he's just Sonia's Dad.
He didn't do anything.

Please Anton.
I just asked him to watch her.

While your mother was out selling
the jewellery I bought you. Huh?

And you went out with Jimmy
after I said never again.

Never again right?

I just... I just...

I needed, I wanted the money.

Okay, I wanted the money,
that's all that it was...

But then what?
Were you thinking of running?

Is that it,
were you trying to leave me?

No!

I wouldn't,
I wouldn't leave you, I'm yours.

So sorry, I just...

I have nothing, I mean, look at
this f*cking place. And I...

I just wanted my own and I just...

I'm sorry. I mean...
Dylan's a nobody.

You're the one that I want.

Only you.

I'm sorry, baby.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm so stupid.

If I hear you've been
speaking to him again.

You disrespect me
like this again...

I'll k*ll you.

Your mother, this piece of sh*t.
Sonia.

All of you.

D'you hear me?

(Thobela) Some. Some. Let's go.

(Jamie)
Where the hell are we going?

I got a tip on Reyneke.

His company Viper get
up to the usual sh*t, you know?

Working for companies
owned by companies.

But there's one company RooiBlaar

Reyneke always handles personally.

RooiBlaar? What do they do?

Ah website says anything
from vegan snacks

to salt from the Kalahari.

-Sounds nice.
-I don't know if any of it's real.

Check the CIPC,
lists the last mailing address

to an old farm, out at Hou Moed.

Hou Moed.

I suppose that's nowhere close
to the Kalahari.

Yeah. So worth taking a look.

sh*t, it's Genge.
Can you grab that?

Colonel. Jamie here.

Is Benny there?

-Uh, he's driving.
-We're you guys headed?

A farm, out in Hou Moed.

A shell company
called RooiBlaar owns it.

We reckon it'll connect
to the sh*t missing

in Reyneke's safe.

Okay, great. That's good to hear.

Make sure you ask Benny to call
me when you guys get there, okay?

Roger that.

Genge, man.

He sounded, I don't know,
like he didn't want us to go.

You noticed him
acting strange lately?

Like jumping on the corruption
stuff, handling it all himself.

Not him, bru. He's not like that.

No, you're right.
Course you're right.

I don't think anyone's home, eh?

-(Jamie) Looks kind of sketchy.
-(Ben) That's just...

No f*cking signal, here.

Ben, I'm serious, man.
You don't know who's in there.

-(Ben) Hurry up, bru.
-f*ck...

(Ben) Keep up, Keyter.

(Jamie)
I am not sure about this bru.

Let's come back with a team,
proper warrant, the works?

Benny, we don't know
what we're walking into.

(foreboding music)

I know you don't want
to think it but...

say this place means something,

say it is what Reyneke was hiding?

Ben, come on, man.

Let's come back when
we're better prepared, yeah?

Hey. Are you jas? You've got
Anna and Carla to think about...

f*ck sakes, man,
just give me a second.

Stop!

Listen, we don't have
to go in there, bru.

-I f*cking said it, Ben.
-You said it, man.

I wanted us to leave.

Listen a b*llet
to the back of the head's gonna

look suspicious, bru.

At least front on you can uh,
you can make something up, eh.

Okay.

Okay, just... turn around, slow.

(Thobela) If you could
open up a restaurant.

Like any type of a place.

What kind of place would you pick?

Why would I open a restaurant?

It's a game. Okay, never mind.

You know, my uncle,
used to have a shebeen.

He roasted chickens, smilies,
even fresh bread.

We used to go there and sit
and watch the soccer.

Something like that.

He's normally at his ShisaNyama
until the afternoon.

Okay. Will he be alone?

Go home. We're done.

(man in Xhosa)

(in English)
That'll do, I think.

(man) You're a hard man to find.

You harmed a friend of mine.

You will appreciate that
she was not the intended target.

You sent boys.

Children.

(Madison) I train my hunters young.

You must fight well
to take on a man like Reyneke.

I have no idea who took
that little boy.

Whoever did,
has kept it a secret this long.

And that takes power.

And the only way
to attain such power

in this city is through fear.

And who will fear a man
who allows a stranger

into his business
to k*ll as he pleases?

That doesn't send
the right message.

We could've done
such wonders together.

(in Xhosa)
