Kings of Jo'burg (2020) s01e05 Episode Script

[theme music playing]
[tense music playing]
Mmm!
- Woo!
- What about
all this chocolate here?
- That's about the corniest line ever.
- [laughs]
- Gross.
- [chuckles]
If we were so gross, you wouldn't be here.
Imagine the real one.
Really?
Only if you ace your matric.
Done.
[laughs]
[in Setswana] You know
what needs to be done. Make an offering.
Not my son.
[brooding music playing]
- [Mo] Yo.
- Hey.
You all right?
Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
- And this?
- You like?
You know I like.
Okay. Well, consider this
your post-prison present
from your big brother.
- Nah, Si, I can't
- I insist.
Come on.
- You know I can't say no.
- [laughs]
Ah, man, I haven't done this in a while.
I know.
But, er, the last time I checked
I used to kick your ass, remember that?
- Well, we'll see about that now.
- [laughs]
[exciting music playing]
[Simon] I'll race you
to the next traffic light.
- [Mo] Like taking candy from a baby.
- [laughs]
Okay.
[sinister music playing]
What are the odds?
[Simon] What the fuck do you want?
We're going for a ride.
[tense music playing]
[Salem] Simon Masire.
Salem.
[Mo] What's this about?
I heard about
your little incident earlier.
It can't be good for either one of us.
- How'd you know?
- You know, I keep my eyes and ears on
everyone that I do business with.
- [Simon] So what's in it for you?
- [Salem] Hmm.
[Salem] I want my diamonds.
Diamonds aren't for free.
You asked for forty-six million?
I'll give you fifty.
For the inconvenience
that was caused earlier.
Look at as a peace offering.
I'll send you the rest.
[Salem] Looks like [sighs]
- we've got ourselves a deal.
- Mmm.
It was such a pleasure
doing business with you again.
Do with them as you wish.
[dramatic music playing]
No hard feelings?
There's uh
there are fresh graves over there.
Woah, woah.
Don't do that.
These guys are cops.
Corrupt or not.
Let's think about this.
- No.
- [gunshots]
[music ends]
Babe?
Mo?
Hey.
Where were you last night?
I was worried about you.
Well, I was with Simon.
Yeah, he, uh
got these new bikes
took them for a spin.
Went for drinks and
completely lost track of time.
You could have called?
Mo.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Um
Just been thinking about Neo.
[big exhale]
You know, things have quietened down now.
Maybe it's time we move back home?
Already?
Yeah, let's
find a new place,
more suitable place.
Just start afresh.
Well, I thought we were doing
that already.
Starting afresh.
What's wrong?
I mean, I
I thought you'd be happy to move?
I am.
It's just that
I thought we'd stay a little longer.
You know, I really want to get
to know your family.
You do?
Of course, I do.
This is your family we're talking about.
If we're planning on
starting our lives together,
we need to start here.
Where your heart is.
Just for a few more days, please?
Please?
I just never thought I'd see the day
Phumzi wants to move into
the Masire household, that's all.
- Oh, shut up!
- [chuckles]
Okay.
Take me to the club.
The gold is transported
via high-tech armed trucks.
Si, did you just say trucks?
Yes, three to be exact.
The problem is the trucks
leave the safe house at the
exact same time, taking three
different routes.
So we're going to need three teams
to hit them at the same time.
Because if we hit one,
it sends an alert to the others
and they'll evacuate.
Look, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Why don't we hit the safe house
before the trucks leave?
Like the last job you fucked up, Cyrus?
Yeah?
And who the fuck do you think
you're talking to, Ayanda?
What the fuck you want to do about it?
- Guys, calm down.
- Huh?
Hey, I'm talking to you,
what you going to do about it?
Ayanda!
Cyrus?
[clears throat]
Gents, I want this job to be
as clean as possible.
You see, getting the trucks is easy.
Getting access into the trucks
where the gold is, is the hard part.
'Cause each truck has a uniquely
built-in system.
Explosion-proof corrugated metal,
optic scanning, access held by the guards.
You see, once you're granted access,
you need a twelve-digit code
to open the doors.
Which brings us to our final
and biggest problem.
There's metal gates inside.
To open the metal gates,
you need access cards.
There's three access cards
created and manufactured in-house.
So this means, once the drivers
get into the trucks they cannot get out
until they get to the destination
where the three cards are held.
So how are we going to get the cards?
Mind if we have a chat?
Give us five, gents.
[groans]
I didn't know my son was a part of this.
The job requires seven guys.
[in Setswana] You want to sell
your parrot popcorn
so your son has taken your place.
Couldn't find anybody else?
Mo, you know I needed someone I can trust.
There are plenty other guys
that we've worked with in the past.
Surely you could picked one of them?
- [knock on door]
- Yeah?
Um, I think I might have found
a way to get the access cards
to the gold trucks.
Well done.
You're stepping up, son. [chuckles]
Wow, I'll do the job.
- Sorry, what was that?
- I said I'll do the job.
Wait a minute, what?
I have a condition though
that he never
becomes part of this business.
Ever in his life.
Do we have a deal?
- Deal.
- Woah, wait a minute, wait.
[speaks in Tswana]
You'll have other opportunities okay?
[quiet laugh]
You guys are just the fucking same.
And one more thing
this will be my last job.
I love the girl I'm with.
I don't want to continue to lie to her.
[Thuso] Hey Tlotlo! Listen, man.
Tlotlo!
Ah, hey!
[camera shutter clicking]
[in IsiXhosa] You will call him
and you'll act as natural as possible.
Make it sound like you're sorry
and that you're filled with regret.
Tell him
[in IsiXhosa] you've got his money
and you want to see him in person.
[in IsiXhosa] Here's the address,
and tell him to come alone.
[rap music playing]
[phone rings]
Hello?
Yeah, hello?
[Mimi] Tlotlo.
Who's this?
It's me, it's Mimi. Please don't hang up.
Mimi, I told you not to call this
number again, okay?
[phone disconnects]
Tlotlo?
Hello?
Tlotlo?
Again.
He won't talk to me.
[tense music playing]
Let me be the first to remind you,
[in IsiXhosa] my love,
[in IsiXhosa] that if you don't do
what I asked you to do
[in IsiXhosa] the way I told you to do it
I will cut
those pretty brown eyes.
Again.
[camera shutter clicking]
[Simon] Sting.
I want you to get information
on the key makers.
What about Robin?
Get the key makers first,
we'll deal with Robin later.
Father, I can get my guys in Gaborone
to start searching.
No. I want you personally on the job.
All right.
What's wrong with Sam Junior and his mom?
I'll tell you about it in the car.
[dramatic action music playing]
[Stan] Simon is planning something big.
I can feel it.
I want units keeping tags on
each and every one of them,
twenty-four seven.
Sooner or later,
one of them will make a move.
And when that happens
we'll be right here.
Waiting for them.
[Stan] Exactly.
[soft music plays]
[camera shutter clicks]
[dramatic music playing]
[Angela] Phumzi?
- Oh. Here you are.
- Hi.
What are you doing?
Um the laundry.
Are you serious?
- Yes.
- No, no, no, honey.
That's why we have helpers.
Can't be getting dirt up your nails
before a mani and pedi.
A what?
A manicure and pedicure.
Keneilwe will be joining us,
and then George is bringing the car
around and we're going to Vivari
for our spa date. So we got to
make sure that we
fix this hair because
there's a lot of work to be done.
Come, come, come.
Let's go, let's go. Let's go.
Hurry up.
[floor creaking]
[tense music playing]
[phone notification rings]
[dramatic music playing]
[light music playing]
Champagne for my friends
and pain for my sham friends.
Cheers.
Isn't it wonderful?
That we're sitting here while our
men work hard for their money,
and we're sitting here enjoying it?
[laughs]
Speak for yourself I work hard
for my money.
[Angela] Oh, yeah.
You've never been married
you've never had a stable relationship.
Why is that?
Yeah, you're right.
I know nothing about marriage.
You've been married twice.
To both of my brothers.
- You tell me about that.
- Contrary
to what you might think
I've only had one love in my life
and that's Simon.
He's a man in charge.
He gets things done.
He spoils me rotten
and he treats me like a queen.
Not like some
booty call, that he hides
from the rest of the world.
Angela, no. That's below the belt.
I don't know what she's talking about.
I don't know.
Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about?
- No, I don't.
- I know about your little love affair
with Lester.
Oh, yes.
I know.
And you and I both know
what will happen if Simon finds out.
What did you mean when you said
Mo and Simon are working together?
Oh, honey, he didn't tell you?
Mo and Simon are best friends again.
Simon bought them matching bikes, oh,
those two
they're like two peas in a pod.
As long as they're bringing in the money.
I mean, who are we to complain?
Hmm.
[Simon] You know, we were fine.
In fact, we were more than fine.
We were happy.
[Mo] Doesn't make sense for her
to just up and leave like that.
- You sure she didn't say anything?
- [Simon] Yeah.
No message, no text, no note, nothing.
And what makes it worse,
she took my son with her.
No. Do you know what it's like?
Not knowing where your child is?
Yeah, I do.
Look Mo. I'm sorry, I didn't
I didn't mean to be insensitive.
I'm going to go check on Tlotlo.
[big exhale]
Fuck.
[groans]
Woo!
[knock on door]
- Who is it?
- [Mo] Hey, Tlotlo, it's me.
What do you want?
[Mo] I just want to talk to you.
I've got nothing to say to you.
- [knock on door]
- Tlotlo.
- [harder knock on door]
- Tlotlo, open the door.
[in IsiZulu] Hey!
- [banging on door]
- Tlotlo.
Don't be like what, huh?
Think you can come back after ten years
and start calling the shots for me?
Can you not see
what I'm trying to do here, son?
- I'm trying to protect
- Protect me from what, exactly?
You know what.
That's fine.
I understand.
Maybe you need some time to cool off.
Fuck you.
Excuse me?
You're a shit dad.
And then there were five.
Detective?
- You have to see this.
- Yeah.
What is it?
Officer Molefe and Zulu.
- The allegedly corrupt police officers?
- Mm-hmm.
Both of them were reported missing.
And so are Robin Davis,
and Sam Masire Junior.
Sam Masire Junior.
- Simon's son?
- Yep.
Bad news, never seems to end.
We just found a trace on Molefe's phone.
[Stan] Okay, good.
Now you go and check out this Robin
and I'll get a team
- on the cellphone trace.
- All right.
Okay.
[tense music playing]
Are you sure being here's a good idea,
man?
Dude, just roll the fucking joint, man.
[phone rings]
It would be great
if you could answer that.
[groans]
Tlotlo.
- I'm not going to answer that.
- It's Mimi.
That's exactly why I'm not
going to answer that.
- Dude, what if she's in trouble?
- Even better.
Tlotlo!
Dude, she stole from me!
Do you know how much money
I had in that safe?
Hey man, Tlotlo, answer the phone, dog.
- Mmm.
- [groans]
[phone continues ringing]
Didn't I tell you not to call
this number again?
Tlotlo, please just listen to me.
Okay, I know I'm probably the last
person you want to hear from.
Yeah, well, no shit.
[Mimi] Look. What I did was wrong.
I was angry, I was hurt.
I know it doesn't make it right.
But, you promised me the world
and when you didn't, I just
Just get to the fucking point, Mimi.
[Mimi] You'll probably
never forgive me, but
I want to make things right.
I haven't touched a cent,
I still have the money.
I know it's it's a long shot, but
I was hoping we could
make things right and
maybe meet, or
I don't know figure things out.
Go fuck yourself.
Dude, that was ice cold.
Jeez, bro.
I tried, I swear.
You fucking bitch!
Get down.
[gunshot]
[glass breaking]
You know what my father used to do with me
when I was tired?
What did he do?
He used to put me on his shoulders and
I could see really far.
- You want to see that?
- Yeah.
I wish I could, but you're too tall.
- Please?
- I could put you on my back though.
- Want to try that?
- Yeah.
[groans]
My netball baby, so athletic!
Come, hold.
[crying]
- [gunshots]
- [screams]
[crying]
[in IsiZulu] I say, dude, how's it going?
[in SeSotho] Do you have my stuff?
[man] Yeah, sure.
[in SeSotho] Your money is under the seat.
[in IsiZulu] Yeah, sure,
now we are talking.
[in IsiZulu] It's nice working with
someone like you, brother.
[in IsiZulu] But please do me a favor.
Whatever dodgy deals you're doing,
please don't mention my name,
do we understand?
[in IsiZulu] Sharp, we are together.
Father.
[in SeSotho] Yeah, I'm coming.
Give me ten minutes.
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts]
[floor creaks]
positions. All the dockets are missing.
Hey, hey, hey! Is everything okay?
Please you have to help me.
She's going to kill me.
Ma'am, look at me.
Look where you are.
You're in a police station.
You're perfectly safe, okay?
Captain
since when are we digging holes?
Yeah, exactly what
are we looking for, Captain?
That's why we're here, to find out.
- Keep on digging.
- No, Captain. Yoh.
[tense music playing]
Did you find them?
I did.
And the guards?
Taken care of.
Everything is in place.
Leon is working the targets and
the schedule confirmation as we speak.
You've got nothing to worry about.
You know, Sting
as much as we all love money
and the things that come with it
this is much more than just the gold
we're talking about.
No matter how much success
and money you have
it can't replace the time spent
with the people you love.
If you want to know how
rich you really are
find out how many things
you have that money can't buy.
[in Setswana] Go back to Botswana.
Bring back my son.
I'm on it.
[dramatic music playing]
- Just like that?
- Just like that.
We charge them.
Case goes through the courts
and we take it from there.
There's nothing else you're
not telling me is there?
Um no, no, nothing.
Good.
Let's get you home.
[sighs]
[quiet music playing]
Captain!
We found something!
[suspenseful music playing]
Son of a bitch!
[phone rings]
Stan
You won't believe what I just found.
[Stan] Tell me it's not another body?
What?
Molefe and Zulu?
Both of them dead,
buried six feet underground.
If it wasn't for the cellphone trace,
we wouldn't have found them.
This doesn't make sense.
They might have been policemen,
but both criminals in uniform.
It makes total sense to me.
It was Simon.
[Stan] What makes you say that?
It was Simon behind the hit ten years ago,
and it was Simon behind
the recent diamond hit.
It was Simon stringing along the case
of Molefe and Zulu all along.
And now I have him, Stan.
What do you mean?
[Jazmine] I found the diamonds.
- You did?
- Yeah, oh well, not all of them.
But enough to make an arrest.
It's the exact same cut
from the stolen batch.
We have him, Captain.
We finally nailed the son of a bitch.
Where are you?
I'm sending a unit your way.
Shit, Stan, I think someone's here.
Thank you so much for taking
me home. It really means a lot.
Just doing my job ma'am.
Um [clears throat]
Do you mind if we stop? Should've
gone to the toilet before we left.
Yeah, sure, I mean it's the least I can do
after everything you've done for me.
No problem, just be a minute. Thanks.
Hey, hey, hey.
She's going to kill me, please help me.
Help. [crying]
Delivered, as requested.
Hello, Mimi.
No
Looking for these?
Jazmine.
- What a lovely surprise.
- It is, isn't it?
Mmm.
[breathes deeply]
I think you guys call this
breaking and entering.
No
Not when you've got enough evidence
put away the head of a criminal
organization behind bars for a lifetime.
Mmm! Simon. [laughs]
These are beautiful.
They are.
Consider them a gift, from me to you.
And there's a lot more
where that came from.
[laughs]
Simon
All this time here I was thinking
you're the smart Masire.
You don't get it, do you?
Johannesburg police has been trying to
nab you for almost a decade.
And every time you just seem to slip
right through our fingers.
You've made a mockery of us for years.
And some even thought we're
we're crazy, going after you.
But we'd like to think
of ourselves as um
motivated.
So you see Simon
I can't be bought.
Hey, Si?
It's a shame.
Wow.
What are you going to do, Jazmine?
You going to shoot me?
[huffs]
Look
- I've got places to go.
- [gunshot]
[spooky screams]
[beeping]
[dramatic music playing]
[Bigsy] Mr. Magic.
- Bigsy!
- [Bigsy] What's up man, what's going on?
What's going on, brother?
- How you doing?
- Yeah. You good?
[Bigsy] What's going on in Africa,
brother?
I got to go check on
some family real quick.
- [Bigsy] All right, let's do it.
- I'll be right back.
[tense music playing]
[Jazmine] There's seven more left.
The last one
is for your head.
We found the officers you murdered.
Molefe and Zulu.
They were friends.
They were family members.
Did you do it?
Did you!?
Yes.
I put four bullets in each one of them
and I loved every second of it.
So if you're going to kill me, Jazmine,
pull the fucking trigger.
Kill me!
[gunshot]
[rap music playing]
