‎[tense music plays]

‎[Mbali] Good morning, ma'am.

‎I'm here to see my client,
‎Sphelele Dlamini.

‎I have two other registered visitors
‎arriving shortly.

‎Oh. [chuckles]

‎Wow, he's so popular today.

‎[Tau sighs] Look here, kid.

‎We are trying to help you here. Huh?

‎And the way things are standing,
‎it doesn't look good for you. Not at all.

‎So, look,
‎just do yourself a favor and just...

‎tell us who put you up to this.

‎Who, boy? Hmm?

‎I think he wants to be someone's
‎girlfriend for the next, what...

‎Twenty-five f*cking years.

‎[Tau] Those g*ns came from
‎Moses and Gaz'lam, is that so?

‎[door opens]

‎Hey, hey, hey. Hey, stop, ma'am.
‎You can't just barge in like that.

‎This...

‎This is over.

‎[Moses] ‎My blood...

‎-[members] ‎...is my brother's blood!
‎-[prison door rattles, slams]

{\an8}‎Are you okay, bro?

{\an8}‎[sniffles, sobs] Am I okay?

{\an8}‎Do you know what it's like in here?

{\an8}‎These people know me. What's happening?

{\an8}‎I've put in the appeal.
‎Just a few more days, brother.

{\an8}‎-I'm begging you.
‎-Days?

{\an8}‎Mbali, know what days are like in here?

{\an8}‎[Mbali] I know that you're scared.
‎I know that you're scared.

{\an8}‎-But that's what they want.
‎-[Sphelele sniffling]

{\an8}‎They want to break Moses, okay?

{\an8}‎Please just be a little more patient.

{\an8}‎-[knocking on door] ‎-[sniffles]

{\an8}‎Please. Brother, bro,
‎I won't leave you here.

{\an8}‎I promise.

‎[sighs, sniffles]

‎[emotional music plays]

‎Baby.

‎[gasping, sniffles]

‎My baby.

‎-[baby coos] ‎-[gasps, chuckles]

‎Look at him. He's got your nose.

‎-Sit down, sit down, baby.
‎-[chuckles]

‎Yeah. Sit down.

‎What are they saying, babe?
‎Did they say you'll be released?

‎I don't know, babe, Mbali says they will.

‎My love, my parents have
‎a lot of questions.

‎I don't know what to say anymore.

‎Please, if you get released from here,
‎this must all change.

‎We won't go back because I don't want
‎all this drama with our child.

‎-[Agnes] Nyaniso?
‎-[Nyaniso] Sure.

‎Bring me the lawyer.

‎Sure.

‎[door buzzes, opens]

‎[Mbali] Ever heard of
‎client-lawyer confidentiality?

‎They really love each other, eh?

‎Sphelele made a mistake, but we both know
‎that he doesn't deserve all of this.

‎[Agnes] Mmm.

‎Sphelele broke the law.

‎Maybe we can help each other here.

‎Moses is planning something,
‎so let's make a deal.

‎If you tell me what his plan is,

‎Sphelele will have armed guards, finished.

‎You know very well
‎that I'm not going anywhere.

‎[scoffs]

‎You know, I've never met anyone in my life
‎more ruthless than Moses.

‎And do you know that he once k*lled a man
‎while his family was watching

‎just to prove a point?

‎After that, pulled out his tongue
‎as we watched.

‎That's Moses.

‎You want to protect that man?

‎Sunday.

‎Come Sunday,

‎if I haven't heard from you...

‎Sphelele's protection will fall away.

‎[tense music plays]

‎[Mbali] Moses,
‎can you protect Sphe while he's in here?

‎[Moses groans] Gaz'lam doesn't have
‎presence in that block.

‎And there are no Scavengers there either.

‎I'm worried someone will try
‎to get to him because he is your brother.

‎Can you do something, Moses?

‎The lawyer here is you, isn't that right?

‎You do something.

‎What do you think
‎I am busy with all this time?

‎All I do is get you guys out.

‎And you won't even try
‎to protect your own brother?

‎You know, you're talking like
‎I'm the one who put him in prison.

‎What's the difference?
‎You might as well have.

‎You're starting to piss me off.

‎So what are you going to do to me?

‎Are you going to cut my throat
‎and pull my tongue out through it?

‎[tense music plays]

‎[Scarra] ‎Listen here.

‎We need to find a way to k*ll Gaz'lam.

‎I want you to make sure
‎that Moses is watched.

‎I want to know his every move, when
‎he shits, how he farts, and how it smells.

‎[inmate] I will charge forward, boss.

‎Moses's little brother is here.

‎What are you saying to me actually?

‎Moses's little brother is here in prison.

‎[clamoring]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[Mbali sighs]

‎He doesn't belong in that place.

‎He shouldn't be there.

‎I'm sorry, Ntombi.
‎I brought all of this into our lives.

‎He's going to be a great father.

‎I can tell.

‎Get him out of there, Sis' Mbali.
‎I'm begging you.

‎Because if you don't,
‎that place will change him.

‎[sentimental music plays]

‎You know, I never took
‎your relationship seriously.

‎But I know that Sphe loves you.

‎[chuckles]

‎And you love my brother too.

‎Watching you guys in there...

‎Sis, I'm going to do everything I can
‎to give you guys a chance.

‎[sighs]

‎I'm not used to calling
‎pieces of sh*t into my office.

‎But it seems we want the same thing.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎You want Moses's little brother?

‎I want Moses to feel the pain
‎he's never felt before.

‎And that's why you are locked up,
‎and I am the warden.

‎You know, you prisoners
‎actually have very small brains.

‎Yeah, we can hurt his little brother
‎to-to-to cause Moses pain, you know?

‎But we have a chance
‎to use this boy as leverage,

‎to bring down Gaz'lam and Moses.

‎Chop off the snake's head.

‎The Scavengers will take over,
‎and I'll deal my drugs in peace.

‎You see? We all win.

‎Hmm?

‎Tell me how we get to him.

‎We don't have people
‎who are loyal to us there.

‎Let me give you what's yours.

‎Send your best man.

‎[commentator]
‎Anticipation is high ahead of

‎Sunday's final with South Africa
‎set to battle Nigeria,


‎who have been formidable
‎this entire tournament.


‎[both chuckle]

‎[radio clicks off]

‎Yeah, this plan is going to work.

‎-Yeah.
‎-Tell me.

‎What are you going to do
‎on your first day out of here?

‎[sighs] All I want is to be with
‎my wife and my daughter, Cici.

‎And just be a normal family.

‎Mmm.

‎Family, right?

‎Yeah.

‎It means, we work so hard,

‎facing tough situations.

‎We do it for our families.

‎You know, I wish my little brother
‎was not in prison at this moment.

‎No, my brother.

‎Don't do that.

‎Don't blame yourself, my brother.

‎Look, Sphelele was already in trouble
‎when he came to you.

‎You were also just trying
‎to help him, right?

‎Damn, I really messed up
‎over there, hey. Bro...

‎No, I messed up seriously.

‎You know that boy doesn't have
‎the courage to handle being in prison.


‎[prison doors buzz]

‎[locks click]

‎[alarm ringing]

‎[commentator]
‎The day of the final is upon us.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎On one side, we have Nigeria,
‎the champions of the past.


‎Fierce, relentless,
‎ablaze with a thirst for another title.


‎On the other side,
‎we have the underdogs, South Africa,


‎who have so far
‎proven doubters wrong at every turn.


‎Can they claim victory, and with it,
‎their place in the hearts of millions?


‎[Moses] Hi.

‎[Crystal chuckles]

‎-Hey.
‎-How are you?

‎Good. [chuckles]

‎Hey.

‎You look tired.

‎Yeah, bro, I'm tired. So what?

‎Sphelele will be all right.

‎[scoffs]

‎Moses, Sphe is not like you.

‎It would've been better
‎if we were the same.

‎How is Cici?

‎[Crystal] Good.

‎I didn't bring her today
‎because you're getting out.

‎[sighs] There's still
‎a lot of digging to do

‎to hit the foundation,
‎or else it's pointless.

‎-You'll get it done.
‎-Yeah?

‎[Mbali] We're going to need a signal.

‎If you and your guys get to the wall
‎before the game finishes,

‎we're gonna need a sign on the other side.

‎She's right.

‎What if, um...

‎you hang the national flag
‎out of the window once you hit the wall.

‎Then we know it's all clear.

‎I'll keep a lookout from the street.

‎Okay.

‎I have to go.

‎[pensive music plays]

‎-[fans cheering]
‎-[vuvuzela trumpets]

‎[commentator]
‎We're minutes away from kickoff,

‎and the tension is palpable
‎here at the stadium.


‎[spectators, players singing
‎South African national anthem]

‎[Zola] Hey.

‎It's the final stretch, okay?

‎We are done now. It's over.

‎[singing continues]

‎[Crystal sighs]

‎Mbali, you there?

‎Crystal, go ahead.

‎No flag yet.

‎Copy that.

‎[inmates cheering, chattering]

‎[commentator] ‎Here we go!

‎South Africa and Nigeria for
‎what promises to be a classic encounter.


‎-[grunting]
‎-South Africa is starting off strong,

‎maintaining position
‎and making their way up the field.


‎[panting]

‎Where the f*ck is this foundation?

‎And a terrific piece of defending there
‎from all three Bafana Bafana players.


‎They're just unable
‎to get that final pass away.


‎[groans] ‎A desperate attempt
‎by the Nigerian defender


‎-to take back position.
‎-He has to give him the card.

‎-The card!
‎-Come on!

‎It's a corner kick.
‎The striker lines up, looking for a gap.


‎And South Africa scores!

‎[cheering]

‎-[Zola] That's what I'm talking about!
‎-Yes!

‎[cheering, whistling]

‎Let me get one last glass.
‎After this, we go back to not drinking.

‎Can I pour you a shot?

‎No, thank you.

‎I'll be back.

‎[breathing shakily]

‎[water splashes]

‎[breathes heavily]

‎South Africa leading, 1-0,
‎but the Nigerians are looking dangerous!


‎-[exclaiming]
‎-‎Oh, that's the goal

‎that Nigeria has been looking for.

‎[groaning]

‎[grunting]

‎[spade clinking]

‎[panting]

‎[sighs]

‎Let's get the f*ck out of here, brothers.

‎[commentator] ‎The scores are leveled.

‎Who will hold their nerve
‎and be crowned champions?


‎[laughs] Yes!

‎Mbali!

‎Mbali!

‎Copy, Crystal.

‎Mbali, they f*cking did it!
‎The flag's out!

‎Copy.

‎We've done everything we could.

‎All that's left is for them to score.

‎That's Moses Simon.

‎South Africa is looking
‎to take the lead again.


‎And that's a beautiful pass into the box.

‎-And they score!
‎-[cheering]

‎Bafana Bafana have scored again!
‎2-1 to South Africa!


‎Their longest scoring run
‎in competition history.


‎-Can they get another one here?
‎-So?

‎The flag is up, boys.

‎-...strikes from outside the box.
‎-[whistling, cheering]

‎But it goes wide!

‎[inmate exclaims]

‎Nigeria running out of time.

‎Can they pull off a miracle
‎in these last two minutes of the match?


‎-[suspenseful music plays]
‎-[inmates chattering]

‎[chattering continues]

‎The South African defenders

‎are desperately
‎trying to keep Nigerians at bay.


‎-But the tackle earns them a yellow card...
‎-Why is he fouling him? What is he doing?

‎South Africa's dream
‎of winning the championship


‎-is in danger here.
‎-But he had to. It was a really bad foul.

‎-Yeah, yeah.
‎-He had to give him that card.

‎The striker lines up. Looking for a gap!

‎The South African goalkeeper
‎stands no chance as the ball hits the net.


‎It's a goal for Nigeria!

‎f*ck!

‎It's a piece of magic for the Super Eagles

‎-in the last minute of extra time.
‎-Hey.

‎It's the penalties.

‎They won't score again.

‎-[sighing] ‎-Damn it.

‎[panting]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎With Nigeria having missed
‎their last penalty,


‎South Africa now have the advantage.

‎-Listen.
‎-Sure, what?

‎If they score this penalty,
‎it doesn't matter whether we win or lose.

‎-Yeah, sure.
‎-Blow it the f*ck up.

‎Give daddy fireworks!

‎-[Zola] Yeah.
‎-Give daddy fireworks.

‎South Africa's captain steps up
‎to take the shot.


‎[whistle blows]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎-And they score!
‎-Yes! Yes! Yes!

‎Hit it!

‎-Set it off, man! Set it off, bro!
‎-It's fine, it's fine.

‎I know what to do.

‎Zola.

‎[tense music plays]

‎Little Moses.

‎Where are you?

‎Zola. Zola.

‎[Zola] A rat?

‎You f*cking rat! Get out of here!
‎Move! Move! Move!

‎[commentator] ‎But the Nigerians
‎have scored four of five penalties.


‎If South Africa scores their last penalty,

‎-‎the cup is theirs.
‎-[breathes shakily]

‎Their best striker steps up
‎to take this crucial shot.


‎-Will he keep his nerve...
‎-Let's go, boys.

‎...and make South Africa
‎the next AFCON champions?


‎-[whistle blows]
‎-He starts the run-up.

‎He strikes the ball, and it flies

‎-straight into the net! It's a goal!
‎-[cheering]

‎-Bafana Bafana have done it.
‎-[whistles blowing]

‎-South Africa are champions.
‎-Where is the sound of the expl*si*n?

‎Damn it!

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎I'm out of the tunnel.
‎Blow it up! Blow it up!

‎[grunts]

‎[ground rumbling]

‎It's game on, fellas.

‎Zola. Zola, where are you?

‎[Bra Joe] Oh, no.

‎Oh, f*ck!

‎Little Moses.

‎[tense music plays]

‎[body thuds]

‎Come, man.

‎[Sphelele panting] Oh, f*ck.

‎[groans]

‎[Nyaniso] Come here. Get in the car.

‎-Where am I going? Huh?
‎-Get in the car! Get in, man!

‎Lock him up.

‎Zola!

‎[emotional music plays]

‎[Crystal] ‎The ground
‎is getting harder as we go down.


‎We're having to reinforce the tunnel
‎in certain places.


‎Moses and the other brothers
‎are busy with a tunnel to escape.

‎I'll give you details if you
‎and Agnes agree to release Sphelele.

‎I'll give you the location
‎of the Tunnel House.


‎You and your guys can wait nearby
‎until I give you the signal.


‎You got yourself a deal.

‎[Mbali breathes shakily]
‎Please don't do this.

‎I'm begging you, Tau.

‎-No, no, no, no. Jacobs. Jacobs.
‎-Please don't do this.

‎Ma'am, this is official police business.
‎You need to leave.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎-[g*nsh*t] ‎-[clamoring]

‎No. That was a shot!

‎You said...
‎You said no one would get k*lled!

‎Come on. We're out, gents.

‎[inmate] Come this side.

‎-[whistling] ‎-[chattering]

‎[Tau] Get her out of here now!

‎-Now!
‎-[Mbali screaming]

‎-[Tau] Let's go, let's go.
‎-[Jacobs] You're under arrest.

‎[panting]

‎-[Mbali screaming]
‎-Hey, hey, hey, hey!

‎Get in the car!

‎Shut up, man!

‎f*ck it.

‎[Moses] It's this way.

‎-Hey.
‎-Hey.

‎sh*t.

‎We can't just leave him like this.

‎This is our brother's blood.

‎Let's take him with us, guys. Let's go.

‎Come on, my friend. Let's get him up.

‎-Let's go. Let's go.
‎-Let's go, gents.

‎[chattering]

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[hammers c*ck]

‎[Tau] Hey, hey, boss.

‎We meet again. Huh?

‎[Tau laughs]

‎Where did you think you would end up, huh?

‎Hey, Moses.

‎Please tell me.

‎Who kicked you out of paradise?

‎f*cking b*tch.

‎[clamoring, exclaiming]

‎-[mournful music plays]
‎-[dialogue fades]

‎[panting]

‎[sobbing]

‎[wailing]

‎[groans, panting]

‎[gasping]

‎[no audible dialogue]

‎[clamoring]

‎[music continues]

‎[inhales sharply] You k*lled them all.

‎You f*cking liar! f*ck you!

‎[sobbing]

‎[Mbali sobs]

‎[sighs]

‎-Mbali.
‎-[gasping]

‎-Sis, are you okay?
‎-[sobbing]

‎-Don't cry. Don't cry, sis.
‎-[sobbing]

‎Don't cry. It's okay.

‎-[sighing]
‎-You're okay. You're okay, Mbali.

‎[intriguing music plays]

‎Hey, hey. Please come here quickly! Run.

‎This person is alive. Check him.

‎[Mbali screaming, distorted]

‎[Jacobs] ‎Hey, hey, hey! Get in the car!

‎[Tau] ‎Get her out of here now!

‎[Mbali screaming, sobbing]

‎[thunder rumbling]

‎[Mbali] We need to keep a low profile.

‎You don't go anywhere.

‎You don't go anywhere.

‎If anyone asks any questions,

‎you just say the judge
‎fast-tracked your appeal.

‎-[sighs]
‎-The judge fast-tracked your appeal.

‎Say it.

‎The judge fast-tracked my appeal.

‎Are you okay?

‎You know what? I'm going to drive.

‎[car door opens]

‎[closes]

‎[reporter] Look.

‎Tau gave us a tip and we pounced on that.

‎He didn't say anything about you.

‎So the least you can do
‎is return our f*cking equipment.

‎[thunder rumbling]

‎It's been destroyed.

‎And all the footage, I'm afraid.

‎Equipment worth
‎hundreds of thousands of rand?

‎I seriously doubt that.

‎Aren't you insured?

‎I didn't call you here
‎to discuss the past,

‎I called to discuss the future.

‎There is no other footage.
‎I've spoken to my team members.

‎They won't say anything.

‎Good.

‎A courtesy I'm willing to pay for,

‎the way we usually pay each other, right?

‎Sure.

‎But spinning this mess of yours...

‎It's gonna cost you a premium.

‎Fine.

‎I think I know how we can spin
‎this whole thing going forward.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[phone chimes, buzzes]

‎[sniffles]

‎[gasps, breathes shakily]

‎[gentle music plays]

‎Crystal, how are you doing?

‎[scoffs]

‎What happened?

‎I-I saw it.

‎You all getting arrested.
‎You got arrested.

‎They couldn't prove my involvement,
‎so they had to let me go.

‎What did the doctor say?

‎The b*llet scraped his rib cage
‎but missed everything else.

‎He's lucky.

‎How did they know?

‎I'm not sure.

‎[Crystal] And you know what they say?

‎Snitches are usually the ones who survive.

‎That leaves me,

‎you...

‎Zola.

‎Zola?

‎Zola's alive?

‎-Yes.
‎-[gasps, sobs]

‎They threw him back in jail.

‎Scarra runs things there now.

‎-So who knows how long he'll survive.
‎-[gasps, sighs]

‎But if he is a snitch, well...

‎He's dead.

‎Either way.

‎[Agnes] They thought they would escape
‎and I wouldn't find out?

‎Huh? Huh?

‎This is my palace.

‎Not a single thing will happen in here
‎without my knowledge.

‎And the only reason you are still alive

‎is because I want them to see
‎your beaten face.

‎They must also
remember, if I hear anyone...

‎saying "Gaz'lam..."

‎One person saying "Gaz'lam,"
‎I will squash them.

‎[grunts]

‎[groaning]

‎[breathing deeply]

‎[sighs]

‎[Ntombi's mother] Oh!
‎This boy's testing me. He is testing me.

‎Oh, I'm on my last nerve!
‎I don't even know where he's coming from.

‎-I'm so sorry...
‎-Young man, where have you been?

‎What's wrong?
‎Are you working or hustling right now?

‎What's happened?
‎You just up and disappeared. Huh?

‎And you, what's your problem?

‎Yeah, Mama, you know, I really wasn't
‎around because I was working,

‎and then I got sick.

‎Things were all over the place.

‎[sighs]

‎The truth is, Ma, I just wanted to know
‎if I could see Ntombi and the baby?

‎-[hopeful music plays] ‎-[sighs]

‎[sucks teeth]

‎-[Ntombi's mother clicks tongue]
‎-[gate opens]

‎[gate closes]

‎-Good day, sir.
‎-Yes.

‎[stammers]

‎My son.

‎I don't know what you are going through,
‎but it's clear you're going through a lot.

‎The Lord says if one
‎slaps you on the cheek,

‎turn the other cheek.

‎I don't know where you think
‎I will get the third one.

‎Do you get what I'm saying?

‎Yes, sir.

‎[scoffs] Why do you look like
‎you want to cry? Listen.

‎Where I grew up, we hate a boy who cries,
‎do you hear me?

‎Even so, we also serve tea in our home.

‎-Let me see him. Oh, my God.
‎-Here's your little boy.

‎-[baby cooing]
‎-Oh, look at them little...

‎[news broadcast music plays on TV]

‎Eat something.

‎[reporter] ‎During an attempted escape

‎-from a Johannesburg prison...
‎-I'm not hungry.

‎...prisoners resisted
‎and threatened police officers,


‎taking civilian hostages
‎before shots were exchanged.


‎Most of the escapees were gunned down
‎by the police during the face-off.


‎For a while now,
‎the people's network has asked...


‎-She's lying.
‎-...how criminals should be dealt with.

‎-I was... That's not what happened.
‎-Our audience agrees

‎that a firm response was needed,
‎which is exactly how you responded here.


‎People are calling you a hero.

‎Well, thanks.
‎Thank you for the recognition.


‎Uh, but honestly,
‎the thing is, I love my job,


‎ensuring that the community is safe

‎and making sure
‎that criminal activity is wiped out.


‎I'm sure we can all agree
‎that dangerous criminals have received


‎the justice that they deserved.

‎-How can she say that?
‎-[broadcast music plays]

‎How can she say that?

‎It's bullshit! [breathes heavily]

‎[Lolo] ‎The mastermind
‎behind the attempted prison break


‎was none other than Moses Dlamini,

‎leader of the notorious
‎prison g*ng Gaz'lam.


‎Dlamini will no doubt spend
‎the rest of his life behind bars,


‎provided he survives the wounds
‎he sustained in the sh**t-out.


‎[tense music plays]

‎[phone ringing]

‎-[phone beeps]
‎-[sniffles] Hi, Crystal.

‎Mbali. I've dropped you a pin.

‎Please get here as soon as you can.

‎What's going on?

‎Crystal?

‎Crystal.

‎[suspenseful music plays]

‎[echoing on video]
‎Testing, testing. Hello?

‎I think it looks okay.

‎The battery looks okay. Let's go.

‎Hey.

‎You know Jabu, Valaza's son?

‎Hey, bro.

‎I'm sorry about your father.

‎Uh, thank you.

‎Crystal, what is this? What's going on?

‎Put this on.

‎Let's go.

‎[hostage breathing shakily]

‎[gasping]

‎[sobbing]

‎-[tense music plays] ‎-[gasping]

‎Please, don't hurt me! Please,
‎please, please. I didn't do anything!

‎I don't know anything!

‎[breathing heavily] I don't know anything.

‎[stammering] Please.
‎Please, don't hurt me.

‎You've got the wrong person!

‎-Shut up!
‎-[wailing]

‎[Crystal] Shut up!

‎[Lolo gasps]

‎We've got exactly the right person.

‎-[gasping] ‎-[hammer c*ck]
