White Lies (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
This is the husband, Andrew McKenzie.
One shot in the heart.
His wife, Olivia McKenzie.
Where is she?
Constantia Medi-Clinic.
Where are the kids?
[Edie gasps]
You don't have to talk to the police.
Okay, but you can talk to me.
Who are you anyway?
You didn't tell me you had a brother.
I thought your family was in England.
It's a long story.
I saw a man.
Was a Black guy.
Her clothes are gone.
Have you managed to find the maid?
Are you even looking for her?
You're a Zimbabwean in
Cape Town and you're running.
Where do you go?
May I introduce you to Pearl Gappah?
[Bell:] All I want to know
is what happened.
And then we can all go to bed
and tomorrow is a new day.
What's going on?
Pearl and I had
a very long conversation
because she saw your nephew
murder his parents.
Where's the motive? Where's the gun?
Well, I bet you if we searched
those woods we'll find the gun.
[phone vibrating]
[rousing music playing]
[Bernice giggles]
Bye girls.
Bye, Dad.
Can you get us out of here?
Don't worry.
You have to appear before a
magistrate within 48 hours of arrest.
Not unless that 48 hours
expires on a weekend.
Which it does, Mr. Kapilevich.
Never trust lawyers, not even yours.
My client is a minor and she's
already spent a night in your cells.
She was not in the cells.
She was in a secure lockup monitored
by an assigned probation officer.
I have an interview next week
for the Oxford Africa Scholarship.
My dad wanted me to apply.
You can forget about scholarships, son.
That is over.
But then you'll think
about your sister.
It's not fair on her.
Okay, and she's scared.
I know it isn't you.
It's over now, girl.
Forensics shows
no one else in the house.
And the only prints on the telescope
is that of family members.
I know you did it.
All you have to tell me is why.
For Jaime's sake.
If you talk to me now, I can help you.
Detective.
With a little effort
maybe I can believe
that you processed
the prints in two days.
Although that would be a
speed record for your department.
But you definitely haven't
compared them to the exclusion prints,
which you haven't taken yet.
Which,
if history is a guide,
your department will
never get around to.
As for the forensics,
the average current weight in
the Western Cape is 94 days.
I sympathise with your
fantasies of police competence,
but don't lie to my client.
[dramatic music playing]
[background chatter]
Questioning is ongoing
but their lawyer is with them.
I found some other avenues of
investigation you shouldn't ignore.
You're welcome to make a
statement at the front desk.
Yeah, I've made a statement.
Listen, I found a hide in the woods.
Someone was watching the house.
We'll investigate all information
received from the public.
And listen, yesterday,
I saw the neighbours in the house
in an active crime scene having sex.
[scoffs] Wait a minute now.
Who are you accusing?
The neighbours? The maid?
The mysterious man in the woods?
- Who?
- I don't know.
Anyone but your family, yes.
Fuck!
I get it, you hate me.
I ruined your life,
I'm a vexatious pain in the ass.
But frame me for something.
Get me audited. Come after me.
Don't punish those kids
and let the real killer go free.
[in his lang.] Someone needs
to clean those fucking toilets.
Do you think I've let my
feelings about you affect this case?
An eyewitness says that
they killed their parents.
And what do you care?
She's just a maid.
But that boy sees some Black man
in the shadows and him you believe?
What did Pearl say?
Can I at least read her statement?
- No, you may not.
- Detective,
I was out of line the way
I spoke to you yesterday.
But I'm just asking you
to investigate this properly.
If you don't, I'll have to.
Like last time.
Go for it.
[in his lang.] Must I clean
those damn toilets?
[pensive music playing]
Making new friends?
Catching up with old ones.
Thank you.
Your detective wants to charge them.
Have you seen the maid's statement?
Not yet.
I need to know what she said.
Well, when we get
in front of the bail magistrate,
we'll see their case.
What if they did it?
That boy's got secrets.
Everyone's got secrets.
You've got secrets.
Not as many as I'd like.
If you want to do something
for those kids, clean the house.
They've declared it no longer
a crime scene and
you don't want to take
them home to that.
- I don't know how to clean a house.
- [chuckles]
Sometimes we have to do things
we don't like for those we love, Edie.
Anyway, I don't mean you
go there with a squeegee.
I've used them before.
- Thanks.
- I didn't know you had a brother.
I'm sorry.
[sombre music playing]
[intercom ringing]
Uh, hello?
Hello. Can you hear me?
- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah, I just
I just wondered if you saw anything
at the McKenzie's on Wednesday.
I'm sorry.
Nothing out of the ordinary?
Mmh, nah. No nothing. No, no.
Okay, thank you. Thanks.
[dog barking]
- Hi, excuse me
- Sorry.
Not today.
- Can I just
- Sorry.
I don't have anything for you today.
Sorry.
Fucking Bishopscourt.
I need to start jogging again.
Sorry?
You're making me think I need
to start jogging again. [chuckles]
Yeah.
Yeah, you must, hey.
[out of breath] If I go
two days without it,
shoo, I start getting
I just start getting so edgy, you know?
Is it safe to jog around here?
I just moved in.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Amy.
- Edie.
- Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Yeah, it's very safe.
Well, obviously I mean around here.
What about that murder, though?
Oh.
Yeah, well-
I saw you at the
Mckenzie's house yesterday.
I know.
It's chilling.
Those things are usually an inside job.
Oh, my God-that's what I always say.
It is always an inside job.
And you know what, they've
had trouble with that maid before.
What sort of trouble?
Well, you know,
like men in her room and that.
And it's just so hard these days.
You can't even
fire them anymore. [scoffs]
Anyway, have you
have you met the Weavers?
Uh, not yet.
[chuckles] Okay, now that's a story.
But I don't want to gossip.
- You're not gossiping.
- No, I really shouldn't. It's not right.
No, you're new and you're just
going to get the wrong impression.
And like, you have
I think you should make up your own
Okay, wine and we'll talk about it.
Hi, Miss Cuddy.
- Everything all right?
- Hi. Hi, Morgan.
Yeah, yeah, everything's fine. Thanks.
Oh, this is Morgan.
He takes care of us around here.
Hey, Morgan? Keep us safe.
Not yesterday he didn't.
Ma'am, are you still writing
the story for the paper?
Hey?
Yeah. Ms. Hansen
is with the newspaper.
That is not acceptable.
Unacceptable.
[Edie]: I can't. I promised the kids
I wouldn't write on the story.
Well, then don't write anything.
Just give Edgar some guidance.
We need the story to go big, Edie.
Masneen, I'm on compassionate leave.
I have to go.
What are you doing?
Grieving.
People think it's depressing what
we're doing but I say bugger that.
Nothing sad about how people die.
Just sad how they live.
Is she okay?
She always says a prayer,
thinks the spooks will follow her home.
- [in their language] Fuck off, Chanterelle.
- Okay.
Fancy.
- Posh fuckers. More money than brains.
- Mmh.
[pensive music playing]
Pearl?
Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.
But you didn't tell me
about the children.
Hmm?
That you saw them.
Do anything.
What did you tell the police?
They said I mustn't talk about it.
Did you actually see Daniel do it?
Did you, with your own eyes?
What did you see?
Pearl! Sorry.
Sorry, I just
[sighs]
I don't think you're
telling the truth. Hmm?
I saw.
[Bell, in his l:]
This is a mess.
Everything is different.
We need proper forensics.
Everyone in their house touched,
kicked or ate something.
I tried to stop them.
This is a mess. What is it?
A mess.
[sighs] We need the gun.
Tell me, where would a
rich schoolboy get a gun?
Was it a family gun?
Have the men search the
property again. And the woods.
Properly this time.
- More men.
- Yes, sir.
[Zondo clears throat]
I just um
You mentioned the Du Toit case.
So
And I wanted to
You wanted the full story.
[chair scraping on floor]
[Zondo clears throat]
Okay.
So Cabinet Minister
Dan du Toit and his wife
were violently beaten to death.
Their son, Lodewijk,
sustained head injuries.
He said that there were
three Black intruders
and he managed to fight them
off before they could kill him.
Forensics were a mess.
[own language]
[Forty snickers]
What could I do?
I couldn't prove that he was lying.
Edie Hansen covered the story.
Every time I opened the paper.
She called me a clown.
Procedural errors,
drunken detective, blah, blah, blah.
There were even cartoons.
I was a joke.
But I hung in there.
There was pressure
but I hung in.
And just as everything
started to die down,
the son, Lodewijk,
confessed to everything.
And then Edie really went to town.
I didn't know, sir. I'm so sorry.
You're a cop.
You never apologise
for wanting details.
She got one thing wrong, though.
She said I was drinking during the case.
I only started afterwards.
[ominous music playing]
[screams] Please let me out!
[screams] Please let me out!
[screams] Please. Let me out!
Yeah.
Welcome.
Can I uh, get you a drink?
Oh, no, not for me, thanks.
Yeah, it's a bit
early for drinking. I'll
I'll just pour some wine.
Oh, there's my son, Robert.
He didn't go to school today.
He has a
a stomach ache.
[chuckles]
How um How is Mrs. McKenzie?
She's the same.
You were, uh, close
to my brother, weren't you?
Or maybe it was Olivia.
Sure, good neighbours.
You have a key to the house?
They gave us a key for
in case they weren't there
and something went wrong.
- Neighbours.
- Yeah. Neighbours.
The reason I ask is that I uh
I saw you there yesterday.
- Oh.
- In the house.
And uh
[snickers] Where were you?
Hiding in the closet?
[Edie scoffs]
You
made love in the sunroom.
Are you married?
No.
Have you ever added
spice to your love life?
Not in a murder scene.
We couple in the shadow of the grave.
Life, and death.
The erotic dance.
Well, darling,
I'll be in the gym.
Can I get the key back?
Of Of course.
Uh.
You know
Andrew never mentioned
that he had a sister.
Did Andrew or Olivia ever
mention their problems with Pearl?
The domestic?
[chuckles] We didn't discuss maids.
What did you discuss?
The erotic dance.
[Edie snickers]
Since you won't join me in a drink,
I think it's time for my nap.
[snickers] You uh
You can join me in that if you like.
Can I use your bathroom before I go?
Sure.
[Werner snickers]
[mysterious music playing]
We uh we didn't get a
chance to talk properly.
- Hmm-mmm.
- It's Nonzi, right?
How long have you guys been married?
Two years.
[scoffs] Wow.
My best relationship was 18 months.
Not best - longest.
It must be uh, weird
living here for you.
Why?
Bishopscourt.
The whitest place in Cape Town
which is therefore the
whitest place in the world.
Gardners, maids, no one sees them.
Black people hide in plain sight here.
Although, you know, maybe
not to you. Maybe you
notice things.
Nancy.
Sparkling water, please.
I don't quite understand
what you're trying to say.
I'm saying maybe you know
what it's like to be an outsider.
Maybe you
- know things.
- Because I'm Black?
Uh, sparkling is finished, Madam.
Then go get some at the shop, Nancy.
Madam.
Look, I'm just trying to find
out about Pearl next door.
You think I socialise with the cleaners?
I live in this house.
I don't wash the sheets, I own them.
No, I wasn't
You come in here and
tell me that I don't belong.
I own this house. I belong.
You know, maybe you
should look in the mirror.
Do your hair.
Get dressed.
Before you come in here
and tell me who I am.
Hmm?
Get.
Get!
[mysterious music continues]
Nancy, hi.
It's, it's Edie. We met at the house?
People you work for are difficult, huh?
[snickers] Yoh.
Listen
I uh I'm trying to help Pearl.
Pearl next door, I think
she might be in trouble.
Yeah, if she is, it's
because of that man.
What? What?
Is this like a boyfriend or?
Hey.
Hey, can I
Can I give you a lift?
I know you're having a hard time.
And it hurts.
My mom's in hospital.
We were supposed to
go see her this morning.
Please, sir.
Please let us go see her.
And we will.
But first, you'll have to talk to me.
I, I'm sorry
but that's just the way it is.
What happened, son?
[sombre music playing]
[Daniel sniffling]
Nothing.
I'm fine.
[eerie music playing]
[Edie whispering]
[knock on the door]
Sorry to interrupt. Can I come in?
I have to confess to you
that I came in here yesterday.
I know what it's like to
be far away from home.
You just want something
that's private and yours.
I'm sorry I intruded.
The police said I must stay
in Cape Town. I have nowhere else to go.
Are these your children?
Mmm-hmm.
They're beautiful.
They're in Marondera with Gogo.
I don't know Zimbabwe.
It's near Harare.
You send them money?
I think it's too late
for me to have children.
Not that I'm too old. I just
I wouldn't be a good mother.
I'm too selfish.
I'm not even a good girlfriend.
I just broke up with my boyfriend.
I think if you're not going to be a
good mother, then you should just
rather leave it alone.
Else you end up
breaking other lives too.
Is that your boyfriend?
Mmm-hmm.
I don't have any other family, Pearl.
I only have those two kids and
now I'm losing them all over again.
Tell me, did Daniel and
Jaime treat you badly?
- No.
- You said they murdered their parents.
I can't
Proverbs 19 verse 5.
"A false witness will not go unpunished
and she who breathes out
lies will not escape."
I saw them.
Your boyfriend was here, wasn't he?
What?
No.
I get it.
It's hard to be foreign, a woman.
You're all alone.
He makes you feel safe.
Now you want to protect him.
I don't know what
Proverbs 19,
"It is better to be poor
than a liar in the face of the Lord."
No.
Did he want to rob them?
Did he make you help him?
Did he kill them by accident?
No, he didn't.
He was here. We were
here when the gun went.
- We heard
- So you didn't see
who killed my brother?
[Pearl exhales]
He was in jail before.
But he's not a criminal.
But Madam said he was still
not allowed on the property.
It's hard to be in Cape Town
on your own.
I don't need commentary, thank you.
He wasn't supposed to come and see me.
But
He came to my room.
We were just talking. That's all.
And then we
[gunshot in the distance]
We heard a bang.
You weren't curious?
I thought it was a door or something.
Why would I think
it was a gun, detective?
It's Bishopscourt, not Khayelitsha.
Anyway
A little bit later I heard
the car coming in.
[Bell]: But you kept on talking.
This confirms the kid's story.
First, she heard the gun,
then she heard the car coming back.
And by the time
she went in the house,
the kids were hiding
in the Wendy house.
[Pearl gasps]
You didn't call the police.
Why did you run?
[in their l.] You must go!
I can hear there is an intruder
Wait.
Pearl.
You have to come with me.
I cant.
They will say that I did it.
That you helped me.
I knew where there was money.
I saw it before.
I was ashamed but I just
wanted to go home.
To my children.
But the Lord will not be cheated.
There's just a lady on your
bus I really need to talk to.
- It's really important.
- Proverbs 15 verse 3.
Pearl.
"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,
watching over
the wicked and the good."
And your boyfriend?
He's in Zimbabwe with the money.
So not to labour the point,
but you didn't see the
kids murder their father.
[Bell]: Constable Zondo.
Arrest this woman for theft,
obstructing of justice and
potential conspiracy to murder.
Uh, no, we just took the money.
We just took the money.
- Did you do that?
- It was an accident.
Wasn't him.
Is she gonna wake up?
We don't know yet.
[Jaime sobbing]
- Jaime.
- Mom.
[sobbing] Mom.
James.
[Jaime sobbing]
[sombre music playing]
I wanna stay here.
I can sleep on the chair, it's fine.
I've already asked,
it's really strict visiting hours.
We'll come back in the morning.
Where can I take you both now?
You really don't have to stay here.
I wish you would just come to mine.
It'll be okay.
Why don't I make us
something to eat, hmm?
[doorbell rings]
- Hey Uncle Macky.
- Hey, my boy.
Argh, geez, I'm helluva
sorry about your father, hey.
- Hi Uncle.
- Hello, my darling.
It's a shock, hey. It's a real shock.
I mean, I can't even believe it yet.
And your mom, how is she?
Hi.
Hi, I'm Macky Hofmeyer.
I'm Andrew's partner
in Mvelaphi Construction.
And you are?
I'm Edie Hansen, their aunt.
On Olivia's side?
I'm Andrew's sister.
Oh.
It's a shock, hey?
- Is this where it happened?
- Yeah, it was just in the car
No, no, no, no, let me not butt in.
Look, I just, I just came to
tell the kids, don't worry, okay?
Alright, we'll manage the funeral,
the memorial, everything.
Oh, that's very kind of you.
I mean, I'd like to be able to help.
No, no, seriously, you've got
enough on your plate here.
Um
You know, Andrew was
like a brother to me.
So now you're like my sister.
Do you, um
Do you mind if I ask, how was his
mood recently?
Excited, huh?
I mean, a new project breaking ground.
His project, his baby. Hey. [chuckles]
So yeah, he was energised.
He didn't like the
death threats, of course.
The what?
[scoffs] I get them all the time.
Everyone in this business does.
That reminds me, I need to get
some papers that Andrew was signing.
Mvelaphi business.
- The papers are in the study here.
- Uh, we haven't
had a chance to go
through the papers yet.
Oh, well, I know where they are.
It's very important.
We'll let you know when we're done.
All good, yeah. Understood.
[Macky sighs]
Well, I'll let you know about
the arrangements, okay?
And I'm gonna go see
your mother tomorrow.
You take care.
All my love, huh? Love you guys.
[Jaime]: Thanks, Uncle.
Daddy!
[Forty laughing]
For what we're about to receive,
may the Lord make us truly grateful.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Amen.
[background music playing]
So how was today?
That woman is making my life a misery.
Mmm.
Well, this is a chance to do it
[sighing:] right.
But I didn't think it would come.
Mmm.
And still, she's trying
to ruin my life. [exhales]
Did she ruin your life?
You know she did.
I know she wrote about it.
You know, girls,
your mom is very hard on me.
We should have her for supper
and make friends.
Only if we can slow-cook
her for very, very long.
Ewe!
[laughter]
Guys, I'm sorry I'm
not very domesticated.
I really should be cooking for you.
It's all good. I like it.
Yeah. Daniel's a really good cook.
Oh, really?
Your dad cooked when he was young.
What happened
with you and our parents?
Oh, that's complicated.
Or not.
What did they tell you?
Dad said that you looked down on him.
He said that you despised his values.
Wow. Despised?
No.
Mmm.
Yes, I mean
we did have very different values.
What do you mean?
He
- liked money.
- And you?
I think there are some things that
are more important than money.
Like what?
I don't know. Like
Like truth.
There's nothing wrong with money.
So tell me, um
Tell me about the school play.
Well, it's The Great Gatsby
and I'm Daisy.
Oh, big role.
Yeah.
Um, Miss Geraghty says
it'll give me confidence.
Daniel's backstage,
but he's basically memorised all
the lines so he can prompt them.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah. [snickers]
You work for the Daily Mercury, right?
Yeah.
"The heart of white
privilege is rotten,
but is it a disease that
can turn to murder?"
What?
Says staff reporter.
That's you, Edie.
No. No, I didn't write that.
"A source close to the family
described Daniel McKenzie
as unemotional and
dominant over his sister."
I thought you said you
wouldn't write anything.
I didn't.
That's Edgar.
I knew we shouldn't have trusted you.
- You're just using us.
- No.
No, no, no, no, no. No.
Get out of my dad's house, Edie.
Daniel, calm down and listen to me.
I'm very calm.
I'm very calm but
you still need to leave.
Get out of my house, Edie!
[shouts] Get out!
[shouts] Leave!
- [shouts] Now, I'm serious!
- Okay, calm down.
Okay.
That's not me.
- Clearly.
- I, I wouldn't do that to you two.
I didn't do it. That's
I'll sort this out. I'll sort it out.
I'll call you.
That story was garbage.
Insinuations, speculations, clickbait.
Did we turn into a tabloid in the
24 hours since I went on leave?
Christ, Edie.
Do you really think
people still buy the paper
to read yesterday's news?
If you want people to read you now,
you have to speak Internet.
No, you have to give them
something that the Internet doesn't.
Something that's been
properly reported, checked,
and that they can believe.
Those two kids aren't
the prime suspects.
The maid and the boyfriend
are the prime suspects.
Those kids are the story.
A rich white family
eating itself is the story.
Nobody gives a shit about
Black people in this country.
The government doesn't,
the police don't, the readers don't.
Not as victims or culprits.
Those kids are the story.
He's too inexperienced
to play this game.
- He's going to get you sued.
- Then come back to work.
Guide him.
He would love that, wouldn't you?
I, I would love to learn from you.
Come back to work, Edie.
If those kids didn't do it,
find who did.
Hey, come on.
Let's sell some papers.
Hi, it's Morgan, right?
Morgan Witbooi. Yes.
Look, I wanted to
apologise for yesterday.
I shouldn't have blamed
you, it's not your fault.
No, no, no, it's fine. And
You know you're right.
This was my watch.
Tell me, why didn't you
mention Pearl's boyfriend?
- Who?
- The McKenzie's domestic.
She said you saw them.
No, I didn't.
Why would she say
you did it if you didn't?
Ma'am, I'd have
written it in my logbook.
You can see that there's nothing.
Could I?
This page.
Where am I
Here's the names. Times.
- You see?
- What's this Banjo?
A homeless person
who have to move along sometimes.
Sometimes he sleeps
up there in the trees.
He sleeps in the woods?
Yeah, but he's homeless,
he's just an old drunkie.
I also think he's a little,
you know [whistles]
They say I am too.
Maybe he and I will
have things to talk about.
Ma'am.
You, uh You shouldn't go on your own.
Come on then.
[ominous music playing]
Okay.
Just Yeah.
There. See, there was a blanket. There.
Banjo moves, hey.
Sometimes he's gone for months.
If he was here that night,
he might have seen something.
I need to speak to him.
Are you going to tell the police?
[scoffs] Yeah, they're crap hey?
They couldn't catch Covid.
I'll help you.
I think I know where you can find him.
Hello?
Hi, it's Edgar Ray from The Mercury.
Look, I just wanted to get you
guys' own words for the story.
I think it might be easier if you had
someone on your side, you know?
We have no comment. Go away.
Look, is it true that
you're applying for the
Oxford Africa Scholarship?
So what if I am?
If you guys have anything to say,
anything at all, just
- Hello.
- give me a call.
- [man]: You got the money?
- Edgar Ray from the
I can't talk to you right now.
- We want the money.
- I'll call you later. Okay?
Fuck off.
[mysterious music playing]
These people are looking for Banjo.
How's it?
[in his l.] We're looking
for Banjo. Do you know him?
[mysterious music playing]
- How's it?
- Yeah. Good, good.
Uh, we're looking for Banjo.
- Banjo?
- Mmm.
Have you checked in Foreshore?
Thanks.
He isn't in trouble.
We just want to talk to him.
Banjo is a good guy.
Sometimes things go wrong in his head.
That sounds familiar.
In the summer he lives
up on the pipe track.
He sleeps rough in the caves and that.
I won't sleep there. Snakes.
Okay. Thank you.
We've got time to get
up there, haven't we?
I have to go back to work.
My shift starts in an hour.
Ma'am, you can't go up
the mountain by yourself.
It's so weird.
It's just so weird without them.
Do you think we should talk to someone?
Like a therapist?
Why? Do you want to?
No.
Last night I woke up.
Do you remember when
she used to watch us sleep?
When we were young?
Well, last night-
I closed my eyes and it was
It felt like she was standing there.
[phone vibrating]
[whispers:] Dude, I told you, I can't talk.
[whispers] Okay fine, I'll be there.
[whispers] Yes. I promise.
[mysterious music playing]
Who was that?
No one.
Forty.
I have Major General Lincoln,
Chief of Investigations on the speaker.
Forty.
Sir?
The general is concerned
about the McKenzie case.
We don't need another
du Toit situation here.
No, Ma'am.
Where are we with the investigation?
We're looking for the gun.
But we have the maid and the
boyfriend who ran across the border.
Open and shut.
Yeah, but we're still
checking some details.
The general is receiving pressure
to take you off the case.
The general still thinks
you are a good cop.
So do I.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Let's give them a good news story.
Okay, Commander. That's all.
Edie?
You know your front door is wide open?
I got a missed call from you.
Oh, no. That was um
That was just a butt dial.
Are the kids okay?
Yeah, yeah. Everything's good.
Um, you should invoice me.
[Avi scoffs]
So that's it. We're just gonna
pretend.
What? Nothing?
What is it exactly that you want, Avi?
A conversation.
Do we have to?
We're adults.
Maybe I just found you too
clingy.
Maybe you push people away when
they get too close. Is that possible?
Maybe we were never as
close as you thought we were.
You know, Edie.
You like to pretend
you're a sociopath.
And the way you treat people,
it's a very convincing act.
Call me a romantic, I think
there's a human being inside there.
No?
Somewhere?
Just blink twice if you can hear me.
I think you should go.
[footsteps]
Is, uh
everything okay in here? Hmm?
Hi, Mario. Come in.
My friend here was just leaving.
Okay, Edie.
He's pretty.
Listen, are you
going somewhere?
Up a mountain.
Oh, uh, who you
- Who are you going with?
- Going on my own.
Oh, that's
It's not very safe on your own.
It's always safe on your own.
It's other people that are dangerous.
You want me to come with you, hmm?
I don't think Connie would like that.
Ah, she's working.
[inhales] Come on, I'll,
uh, I'll be your bodyguard.
Yeah. It'll be fun.
I'm gonna get my jacket,
I'll meet you outside.
So is that guy your boyfriend?
He looks like a prick.
You know, Connie thinks there's
something going on between us.
Uh-huh.
Funny, hey, I mean, that's
what she thinks we're doing
all day while she's at work.
It's sweet that she thinks that
you're so attractive to other women.
Edie, hey.
[Mario sighs]
Want a drink?
No, thanks.
While we're out here in
the middle of nowhere,
we can have a drink, hmm?
Daniel.
Daniel!
[shouts] Daniel!
Mario, get out of my way, please.
Okay, okay, okay, hold it.
- Right?
- I'm hungry, man.
Give me something.
We don't have anything, okay?
Come, man.
Give me something.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I
- I'm warning you.
- Give me, man!
- Stay a Stay away from me.
- Give me something.
[screams] Give me!
[Edie squeals]
[Edie squeals]
Don't fight me.
Give it. Don't fight.
[in his l.] Go away!
Fuck off! Fuck off!
[answers in his l.]
Get lost.
[breathing heavily] Thank you.
All this rubbish on the mountains.
Thief!
Thank you. I'm Edie.
Banjo.
[phone dialling]
[Jaime sobbing]
[Edie]: Here.
Let me get you-
My card, okay?
You call me if you want food.
Money, somewhere to stay.
Okay, so what is it that we know?
We have one man dead,
one woman in a coma.
No footage.
No one sees the killer
come or go, no witnesses.
Okay, my Afrikaans isn't very good.
Um, the reason I
came to look for you is
Were you at Bishopscourt
the other night?
Did you see something
at the big house?
Unless the maid was telling
the truth the first time.
She did see the kids do it.
But now, Edie Hansen has paid her to lie.
Banjo, the big house.
What did you see?
Do you think she would do that?
[sighs] No.
But the maid said she
didn't see what happened.
It doesn't mean
that it wasn't the boy.
We just need to find
another way of proving it.
[Edie]: What did you see?
White boy.
White boy.
"Vit seen"?
[ominous music playing]
It's getting dark now, I need to go.
Okay, where do you want to go?
[ominous music continues]
[car door shuts]
[phone ringing]
Jaime?
[sob] He's gone.
Daniel's gone.
[Jaime sobbing]
[Jaime sniffling]
Hey, bruh.
Do you have a lighter?
No, sorry, brah, I don't have one.
Give me some money,
I want to buy a drink.
I don't have any cash
for you, man, I'm sorry.
Don't be like that, my brother.
Listen, Daniel?
How the fuck do you know my name?
[Daniel cries out]
[car door shuts]
[music through headphones]
[gets louder: "We Are Fighters"
