I'm telling you, he's dead.
I don't care where you are
or what you're busy with. Get here. Now!
- I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- No, leave it! Don't clean anything.
You. Out.
Sweetie
What happened here?
No, I I don't know. I
I came in, and he was lying,
and now he's dead.
You didn't hear or see anyone?
No. No.
No one?
Spread out.
Zenzi! Come!
Get in!
Fuck!
Raymond.
Where are you?
I don't give a fuck. I
I don't care what you're doing.
I need you here now.
Good.
Call the police.
Tell them Blessing's dead.
It was an overdose.
And clean the whole place down,
you hear me?
What the hell happened?
It was supposed to be simple.
You were to hand him the cocaine
and leave.
Can you stop the car, please?
How did this become so messy, Zenzi? Huh?
- What the fuck did you do?
- Just stop the car please.
Answer me!
He asked me about Max, and then
Can you stop the car?
I'm not feeling well.
You know, for a cleaner,
you make a lot of mess.
Just don't mess in my truck.
Where's the gun?
Leave me.
Hey,
where's the fucking gun, Zenzi?
I put it somewhere safe.
For my own insurance.
If you don't tell me where it is,
I swear
Do you want me to throw up in your car?
Fuck!
Hey.
Will that be all?
Do you need help?
No.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
You have something on your sleeve.
It's, uh
juice.
Jackson! Jackson!
Max?
Has anyone been
around the house?
Offered to help out with money?
No.
Who?
And why?
I don't know.
I'm working on a plan
you know, to sort us out.
I hope you're not doing
anything dangerous, Max.
You've been in here almost two years.
Your lawyer said you'll be out soon.
Ah, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
I've been a terrible husband to you
and a terrible father
to this beautiful boy.
And I promise you, I promise you guys
I'm gonna do better, okay?
I promise you.
I will never take you
or our beautiful son for granted again.
And this Mr. Handsome.
We love you.
My boy.
So
while Daddy is gone,
you must protect the house
and your mother, okay?
So, you're going to take care
of the house, right?
Then, what else
are you going to take care of?
And Mom.
That's my boy. That's my boy.
We've got another stiff.
At Blessing Jali's club. Apparently an OD.
- It's Jali's body.
- Shit.
Hey, we must go.
- I want to buy something.
- Huh-uh. Come. There's no time.
- Hey, I just wanna get Raymond's gun back.
- And then what?
Then I let you go.
I need the gun.
Why can't you follow orders? Huh?
Listen, Zen, I
Everything okay here?
Yeah, thanks.
We just couldn't decide
between chocolate and strawberry milk.
Would you mind coming with me, sir?
What for?
Just come, sir.
Sure.
Shit.
Are you sure you're okay?
Is your husband hurting you?
Look, I know that sergeant.
He can protect you.
I'm fine.
Hey!
Where are you going?
Come join us, ma'am.
I was just telling the sergeant here
that we had a bit of an argument.
And your bruises, ma'am?
Was this part of the argument?
No. I had a fight
with a woman at work, and
he offered to take me home.
Can we have a moment, please?
Sure, sir.
Look
are you sure you're okay?
He was just being a good guy.
Okay.
You have a safe trip home.
Let's go.
Come now.
Fuck!
You forgot something.
Thank you, sir.
Take better care
of your stuff.
Sir?
- You can't be here.
- I'm his lawyer.
Sir, please.
And, like, obviously,
I don't know how he died.
But you can see
there's drugs on the table and
And he was drinking.
Where the hell
I came as soon as I could.
You took your sweet time about it.
Listen, we need you to step up
and run things from here.
Something doesn't smell right.
I don't think he OD'd.
First, Jackson. Now, Blessing.
Anything you want to tell me, Raymond?
What are you getting at, Ruben?
You think I had them killed?
Don't be ridiculous.
Despite our differences,
I wouldn't dare take out Blessing.
Everybody knows there's a price to pay
if you take out one of your own.
Don't forget that.
But if I find out
that you had anything to do with this,
you'll pay the price.
Let's get to work.
This is Joseph.
You know what to do.
Why are you not answering
your fucking phone? Where are you?
Zenzi, are you up?
Zen
Can you please
switch off your phone,
or put it on vibrate, or something?
Hello?
Hi. Look, you don't know me.
I got your number from your sister.
Who's this?
Uh, I'm one of her employers.
Uh, Zenzi gave me your number
a while back.
She was in a bit of trouble,
and she's supposed
to be staying here overnight.
But when I woke up,
she was missing this morning.
I just
But I was with her last night.
I was talking to her.
Can we meet?
I think she's in trouble.
You've been getting phone calls
from an unknown number,
and no one speaks on the other side?
How do you know about that?
Is it Max?
No.
It was me.
You?
I
What I want to tell you is very difficult.
I was responsible for Esulu's death.
Well, not me, but
Max didn't murder Yazid. Blessing did.
What do you want me to do?
Sit and rot in here?
They made a deal
with Max to take the fall.
But they never kept
their side of the bargain
to look after you and Esulu,
and Max found out.
I told the Syndicate
Max was going to blackmail them
Fuck!
about taking the fall
for Blessing,
'cause he was pissed
that they neglected you.
They wanted to get back
at Max for threatening them.
So we were sent to rough you up,
to scare you, so Max would know
his family could be harmed
if he threatens the Syndicate.
Don't fuck up again.
We really didn't want to.
I didn't want to.
Go.
Now.
Time to get into bed now, okay?
You'll finish this in the morning.
Please, Mama, I'm almost done.
- Five more minutes.
- Okay.
Okay.
Okay, come.
Get under the bed.
Don't make a sound, okay?
Shh.
Hey! No!
We didn't mean to harm Esulu.
But it wasn't me who shot him.
Who shot him?
Who killed my son?
Boss?
Why the fuck
are you not answering your phone?
Sorry. Uh, the signal is bad here.
Okay, so you listen,
and you listen clearly.
Get the gun from her
and then get rid of her.
Say again?
You heard me the first time.
She knows too much.
We can't risk
Ruben getting his hands on her.
And, Joseph
if you fail, don't come back.
Yeah, Lyners, get me contact details
for Enrico Booysen's wife.
I need to talk to her urgently.
You still haven't answered me.
Zenzi, please, give me the gun.
No.
I want to know who killed my son.
Okay, I'll tell you,
but only if you give me the gun, okay?
Why did we stop here?
The gun, Zenzi.
We are running out of time.
- Zenzi!
- I've put it somewhere safe, okay?
How do I know you're not going to kill me
when I give it to you?
They want you dead.
But I won't kill you
if you give me the gun.
I'll just say
I buried your body somewhere.
Why should I trust you?
'Cause Max was my best friend.
Hey, hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Don't touch me.
Fuck.
Thank you, Mrs. Booysen.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I won't keep you long.
Um, please, sit. It's fine.
Are you leaving?
Oh.
We were gonna sell the house.
Sorry.
Okay.
Um
Would it be okay if I go through
some of your husband's belongings?
Um, uh What what what belongings?
Specifically his phone.
Do you still have it?
Yes. Yes, I do.
Could I see it?
Oh.
Thanks.
Uh, do you have the PIN?
Uh, the
No. No, no, no, I don't know his PIN code.
Could you find it somewhere?
Um, sorry, Detective, but what exactly
is this in connection with?
It's nothing.
It's just standard procedure.
Time and triangulation.
Okay. Um, yeah, I will look for it, but
as long as his phone comes back.
Because I'm still paying for it.
Tell you what. Why don't you hold onto it
until you find the PIN?
- But then contact me, please.
- Okay, sure. Thank you.
Thanks.
Please excuse the mess.
Usually, Zenzi
I think your sister needs our help.
She's been struggling
to make ends meet, and
she left some of her things
in the spare bedroom.
Maybe we should leave it here
for when she comes back.
Hmm.
I hope she does come back.
I'll find her.
Sorry.
Hello?
Oh. Okay.
Yes.
Now?
Okay. I'll be there.
- Was it her?
- No. A Detective Morkel.
Says he wants me
to come to the police station
to show me something.
Has he found Zenzi?
No. But he's also looking for her.
Please keep me updated.
Oh, you're not gonna finish your tea?
No, I'm I'm a coffee person.
Zenzi!
Let's talk this through, Zenzi.
Zenzi!
You gotta trust me, Zenzi.
I'm your only way out of this.
Okay.
Time to get into bed, okay?
You'll finish this in the morning.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Relax. Take it easy.
Mama.
- Mama. Mama.
- Go. Go back.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Relax yourself, eh.
Subdue the woman.
What's wrong with you?
Leave my mom alone.
I'm the man of the house.
Please, leave him.
Esulu, put the gun down, please.
- No!
- Fuck!
Esulu, no!
Zenzi!
Alice! Call an ambulance.
Quickly!
Quickly, Alice.
Hello?
We need an ambulance now.
- Please, now.
- The ambulance is almost here, okay?
Alice!
Esulu.
Esulu, baby.
Stay with us, okay?
Esulu.
Esulu.
- Sorry, ma'am.
- No.
Esulu!
My poor baby.
He wouldn't even hurt a fly.
Why wouldn't they just leave him alone?
It was me.
He was trying to protect me.
What am I going to do?
Hey, Zenzi.
You made me do this, okay?
You fucking bitch.
Uh-oh.
So, you say that you don't have
a close relationship with your sister?
Why not?
We kind of grew apart.
Well, that doesn't help us much.
- Where do you think she could be?
- I don't know.
I
wish I knew her better.
Well, maybe there is something
you can help us with.
Jeez, what is this?
Some sort of snuff movie?
Why didn't you warn me
before showing me this?
Sorry, ma'am. Can can you just focus
on the video, please?
Lady in the coat.
That your sister?
I can't really tell.
Take a closer look.
Is it your sister?
No.
Um, it's definitely not my sister.
Look, is there anything else?
Am I being held here?
Do I need to know my rights?
No.
Thanks for the movie.
Um
Um
D-d-detective Morkel? It's Alice.
Um, I found the PIN for Enrico's phone.
B-but there's something
that I think you need to see.
Make sure that the bar's fully stocked
for tonight. We need a good night.
Put on a couple of bar specials.
Oh, and get some of those sexy ladies
with the cowboy belts.
I'll do so. All right, sir.
This is Joseph.
You know what to do.
Who killed my son?
Was it Raymond?
Max
He's gonna take down the whole Syndicate.
I spoke to him yesterday.
Nobody knows.
Okay.
Okay, Joseph?
Hey.
What did Max say?
He said something about a small town.
Okay. Joseph. Hey.
Wake up, okay?
Where is he? Where's Max?
Joseph. Hey.
I'm telling you, he's dead.
I don't care where you are
or what you're busy with. Get here. Now!
- I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
