[Nandi kissing and panting]
[gasping]
[Jacob moans]
[Nandi panting]
[Jacob moaning]
[Jacob echoing]You're overreacting, okay? Listen, you're overreacting, okay?
-[Nandi]Jacob. -[Jacob]You love me. I love you.
[Nandi]Get away from me, Jacob. Get away from my family.
Get away from my child! You fucking psychopath!
[Jacob]Nandi! Nandi, come back here!
You think I'm a maniac, yeah? You thinkI'ma psychopath?
I'll show you what a fucking psychopath is!
You think your husband is better than me?
Your husband is more important? Your daughter is more important?
I'll show you who's more important! No one is more important than me!
-[grunting angrily] -[glass shattering]
[panting]
[man 1] No. You got the wrong person!
[protestors shouting indistinctly]
[man 1] Jiba is not your man!
[shouting continues]
I'm innocent! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
I know you're doubting yourself, but that man did it.
[man 2] You got the wrong guy! Hey! You got the wrong guy!
You got the wrong guy!
I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one that shot Vuyo.
But Vuyo thinks he's innocent.
Vuyo is wrong.
And I'm right.
[man 2] You got the wrong guy! Hey!
Jiba is not your guy. Hey!
No one can ever find out what we did here.
Who's that?
That's his wife and his son.
Listen, don't feel any guilt. Okay?
You did the right thing.
Look at me.
You did the right thing, okay?
[dramatic music swells]
[music crescendos]
[Zinhle] Ma?
Can we please talk about Jacob?
I can't stop thinking about what you said and...
[sighs]
Zee, please, I don't want to talk about him.
-But... -Look, just trust me.
Please, he's... he's dangerous.
I feel so... dirty.
Oh, Zee.
Do you think we're gonna press charges?
No, I don't...
I don't want to make things worse. I just want him to go away.
And will he?
[sighs]
[sighs] Ma, we need to stand up to people like him. Like, toxic men who...
It's complicated, Zee. [sighs]
Why?
Morning.
Any changes?
Uh, just the, uh, twitching still. Yeah.
[sighs]
You've been here since very early, Mrs. Mahlati.
Why don't you guys go home and get some rest?
I'm not going anywhere.
[dramatic music plays]
[Zinhle]Has anyone seen my green jacket?
You meanmygreen jacket, my Zee?
[Vuyo]He was in there for three hours.
He was the last person to see her alive.
[Leonard] I came in late last night. I didn't wanna wake you.
[Zinhle echoing] Has anyone seen my green jacket?
Fuck.
-Ma! -Excuse me.
Good news. He's improving.
-Where are you going? -I have to go.
I have to check something at home. I'll be back. We'll talk, all right?
[dramatic music playing]
Leonard was the last person to see her alive.
[Leonard]You meanmygreen jacket, my Zee.
-[parking brake engages] -[engine stops]
[crying]
[sniffs]
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
[crying]
Oh, Vuyo, I don't want it to be true.
[sobbing]
[Zinhle sighs]
[keypad clicking]
[phone buzzes, dings]
[keypad clicking]
[phone buzzes, dings]
[gasping]
What?
[in Zulu] So what are you going to do now, Vuyo?
[in English] Are you gonna take the jacket to the station? Are you...
-Have you spoken to the detectives? -Something's off. It's all too neat.
What do you mean, "neat"?
I mean, he was there. He slept with her.
He's got the motive.
You said it yourself.
My brother's fucked-up.
He's a narcissist, an asshole.
But a killer?
A killer, Nandi?
Don't you think it's all too obviously pointing towards Leonard?
I'm just so confused. Vuyo, I'm so... Just make up your mind.
You're the one who said Leonard tried to kill you, right?
I said, "I could have... I could havedied."
[sighs]
Jacob.
Maybe he's setting all of this up.
[sighs] Look, I'll be the first person to say, you know,
Jacob has done a lot of shit.
But neither of us believe he could have killed Brenda.
What if it's someone else?
Someone like...?
-Like who? -Someone else who's got skin in the game.
[phone ringing]
[phone beeps]
Yeah?
Okay, okay. Okay. Slow down!
What?
Okay, I... I'm on my way.
[phone beeps]
What is it? Is it Leonard?
No, something else.
Um...
Act normal.
Vuyo, wait. What about this? What about this?
Hide it.
[dramatic music playing]
[sniffs]
Why were you supposed to meet?
[exhales shakily] He was meant to be giving me
all the evidence in the Grootboom case.
[police officer] Hey, guys!
I found something!
What the hell is he talking about?
Jacob says Dad framed his father for raping a child.
Tell me what's going on, Ma, please.
[sighs] Zee, um...
Do you remember the... the Benjamin Jiba case?
It happened a long time ago. You must have been about nine, ten.
Mm, some prisoner committed suicide.
[Nandi and Leonard] ♪Happy birthday to...♪
[in Xhosa] Why don't you answer your phone, swine?
[in Zulu] What's going on?
[in Xhosa] Benjamin Jiba killed himself this morning.
[in English] It's okay.
That prisoner was Jacob's dad.
[Jacob]So when is your birthday?
20 December.
Same day my father died.
[Nandi sniffling]
He shot himself in front of Jacob.
-Yeah. -[Zinhle breathing shakily]
[sighs]
Jacob thinks that your dad framed his dad.
No.
[scoffs] He... he would never do that. He would never do something like that.
-[Nandi] No, Zee. It's fine. -[Zinhle] He would never. He...
So, is this why you don't wanna report Jacob to the cops?
I just don't wanna make things worse.
-So what do we do, Mom? -Let's just focus on your dad, okay?
[sniffs] Focus on your dad and just stay away from Jacob.
Okay? [sniffs]
Yeah.
[sighs] Baby, I need to get some air.
[sniffs, sighs]
[somber music playing]
[in Afrikaans] Okay, Auntie Mei.
[in English] Okay, bye.
[Roxanne sighs heavily]
Those fucking assholes, I want to fucking nail them all.
Roxanne, I know we're hurting, but this is when we need to keep cool heads. We...
You can't be doing this, Roxanne. You can't even keep these documents here.
We're dealing with someone powerful,
someone who doesn't mind killing policemen.
[Roxanne] This evidence implicates your brother.
My brother's no murderer.
-It's time to face the facts. -[Vuyo] Yes, we are.
My brother is in hospital fighting for his life.
Yeah, well, maybe he set things in motion.
Or he's a target.
[sighs heavily] I think you should sit this one out.
Roxanne, you know I can't do that. Charlie's one of my oldest friends.
-Vuyo. -[Vuyo] Roxanne, a policeman is dead.
A judge is in hospital. That's what we're dealing with.
Vuyo! I don't wanna see you anywhere around this case.
Am I clear?
So it's like that now?
I suggest you leave.
[sobbing]
[dramatic music plays]
[sobbing]
Hey, Nandi.
Nandi.
-Are you okay? -[gasps]
You stay away from me. Stay away from me!
[in Xhosa] Please forgive me... [grunts]
[in English] I hate that you came into my life.
[scoffs] Nandi, your life was fucked-up before I got there. You know that.
My husband needs me.
Nandi, your husband, don't you wanna know who he really is?
[in Xhosa] Don't you wanna know what Brenda said to me the day she died?
[in English] Fuck.
[groans]
[in Zulu] What did she say?
[Jacob in Xhosa] I think I left my belt here yesterday.
I know you from somewhere.
I just don't know from where.
[Benjamin in English] I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
[echoing]I didn't do it!
[dramatic music plays]
[Jacob in Xhosa] Are you all right?
[glass clinking]
[Jacob grunts]
You're Benjamin's son.
Your father was innocent.
[in English] Look, I don't know what you're talking about.
[in Xhosa] I even went to his funeral to beg for his forgiveness.
[in English] I'm sorry.
[crying]
[in Xhosa] Leonard...
Leonard was convinced about everything that happened.
I promise you I didn't see anything.
Look, I'm not who you think I am.
-[in English] You are! You are! -[in Xhosa] I am not who you think I am.
I don't know why you're feeling guilty, but it has nothing to do with me.
You hear me?
[crying]
[glass clinks]
[in English] She confessed. She lied for your husband.
Firstly, they...
They killed my father's name.
[in Xhosa] On top of that, they made him kill himself.
[in Zulu] What do you want?
[in English] Why don't you just leave me alone? Just leave me al...
-[sighs] -Nandi, Nandi. Listen to me, Nandi.
I need you to know how sorry I am.
Nandi, I'm no... I'm no psychopath. I'm no fucking psychopath.
[crying] Listen to me. Listen.
Please.
[in Xhosa] Nandi, please forgive me. I'm begging you.
[in English] Please forgive me.
Okay. Stand up. Stand up.
I'm sorry.
I just want you.
-Nandi, I want you. -No.
No.
You crossed too many lines.
You've got your revenge now.
What did you get from it?
-[gasps] -[masked man] Hand over the files.
[grunting]
[Zinhle] Get out of there, you fucking asshole.
-[man groans] -[Zinhle] Get...
-Fuck, man! -Where's Jacob?
-Fuck! -Where the fuck...?
[panting] I saw you kiss my mom.
-You fuck! -Can you just calm down?
-I must fucking calm down? -Zinhle, can you just...
Fuck... Shitface!
-[in Xhosa] I'll be back. -[in English] Get off of me. Let...
-[shrieks] -Can you just fucking calm down?
Fuck you. Fuck you.
Sit down.
Shit.
[Jacob sighs]
[water pouring]
[Jacob] Here. Some water.
Are you fucking crazy?
You've been using me to get to my mother this whole time.
-I don't know what you're talking about. -Jacob, be real with me.
You owe me that at least.
Zee, I'm in love with her.
What the fuck are you on?
It's the truth.
Look, I know I shouldn't have fallen in love with her, but I did.
And that shit you've been saying about my father?
You've been saying that shit to get to my mother. Are you sick?
Listen to me. Everything I said about your father's the truth.
-Bullshit. -And what's happening to him is justice.
You fucking his daughter to get to his wife is justice?
You were my first, and you knew.
And it was a game.
[Jacob] See, when Nandi...
When Nandi said it was over between us, I... I reacted badly.
What... what... what do you mean, "when she said it was over"?
Jacob, Jacob, look at me.
What do you mean, "when she said it was over"?
[scoffs]
[gasping shudderingly]
You... You've been sleeping with my mom and me this whole time.
Look, I...
[grunts]
[Zinhle crying]
Zee! Zee!
Fuck!
[slow jazz music playing]
Oh. [chuckles]
Trust fund baby in the hood.
You're here more often than my brother is.
[inhales sharply]
-[moans] -How's my old friend doing?
He's seen better days.
[Brenda] Mm-hmm.
[Vuyo] Do you have any idea how much I miss you?
[Brenda] Miss me?
-[Vuyo] Yes. -[Brenda] Yeah.
-[knocking on door] -[Roxanne] Vuyo!
[gun cocking]
Jesus.
Fuck.
[groans]
[sighs]
[sighs] It's for the pain.
I need your help.
-I got jumped at the station. -What?
I was taking the evidence to the car, and some fucker jumped me.
He's in our records. [sighs]
Local thug.
And nobody knows the township like you do.
[dramatic music playing]
-[sirens wailing] -[horns honking]
[tires screeching]
[sirens wailing]
[dance music blaring]
Three, come with me. The rest flag the exits.
[police officers shouting indistinctly]
-Police! -[people screaming]
[gun firing]
[police officer] He's getting away!
[woman screams]
[gun firing]
[grunting]
[man panting]
[tires screeching]
[man grunting]
Hands behind your back. Let's go. Up.
Come. Come.
[in Afrikaans] No, sir. Come.
[man] Let's go, sir.
[in English] Zee?
Zinhle?
[somber music playing]
Zinhle!
Zee!
[Nandi whispers indistinctly]
Hey, baby.
[dramatic music playing]
[clattering]
[Nandi groans]
[Nandi panting]
[dramatic music intensifies]
What the fuck?
Zee, please calm down.
-[Zinhle shouts] -[Jacob grunts]
[Nandi] Zinhle, no!
[screams]
[grunts]
[gasping]
[panting]
Zee, hey.
You okay?
You...
You kind of disappeared yesterday at the hospital.
Sweetheart, uh...
[inhales sharply]
There's something I need to tell you, and it's not gonna be easy.
It's about your dad.
Sweetheart, it's...
It's really starting to look like your dad had something to do with...
Auntie B's death.
What?
Yeah, the...
The Benjamin Jiba case, you know the text that Jacob sent you.
[scoffs]
[laughs wryly]
You fucking bitch.
-What? -How dare you come here with these lies.
Are you working with Jacob?
Trying to find a reason to leave your dying husband?
Zee.
I know you're fucking Jacob!
[Zinhle gasps]
You've been fucking him this whole time.
What did Jacob tell you?
I saw you at the hospital, Mom.
You're gonna lie to my face?
[sniffs] Zee.
Zee.
[breathes heavily]
Baby...
You can test the gun.
I didn't use it to kill no cop.
Who hired you?
I didn't kill a policeman.
The evidence will say what I want it to say.
If I tell you,
you'll let me free?
[Roxanne] Talk, or go to jail.
I was hired by...
Judge Mahlati.
