White Lies (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Will you do the thing tonight?
I told you I can't any more.
[Forty]: I didn't gamble last night.
- [Bernice]: I know.
- I'm fighting it.
The baby? What happened to the baby?
[Avi]: Were you gonna tell me?
Nope. Wanna fight about it?
Yep.
I've put you through enough, B.
If you tell me to leave it,
then I'll leave it.
For fuck's sake, Forty!
Just to be clear,
you are this close from losing me.
I checked on the lawyer.
He used to represent Macky Hofmeyer.
If I see you again,
I'm calling the police.
You really need to learn who
your friends are.
[Daniel]: I said he was dark-skinned.
[Edgar]: So you'd recognise him again?
Maybe. Yes.
Why would you do this?

[ominous music plays]
- [young Edie]: Hell of a party
- [Andrew scoffs]
[young Edie]: For a six-year-old.
I booked out the aquarium for him.
Whole aquarium.
That's nice, hey?
None of his friends are gonna get
whole aquariums for their birthdays.
Well, I brought him this.
A telescope.
Remember what Dad used to say?
Keep your feet on the ground and
[young Andrew]: Reach for the stars.
How's England?
It's fine.
I'm uh, thinking of coming back.
Why?
You're doing well there.
There's nothing for you here.
It's difficult for Olivia.
She's worried you're gonna tell him
That I'm his mother.
No She is his mother now.
[alarming music plays]
Andrew just
Can I just say happy birthday to him?
Maybe next time.
[melancholy music plays]
[distorted cheering]
- [Andrew]: Ja, sorry about that.
- [Jaime]: Go Daniel!
Well, we just have to explain to him
that he's in our universe now.
[cheering and clapping]
[Jaime cheering]
Come on, Danny, you're almost there!
- Look, I'm gonna
- Dad, he's won.
I'm gonna text you because
I actually can't hear a thing.
- [Jaime]: Dad? Dad.
- [Andrew]: Okay.
- [Andrew]: Yeah.
- [Jaime]: Daniel just won.
[Andrew continues with phone call]
[Jaime]: He beat everyone dad.
[Andrew]: Yeah.

Oh Captain, my Captain ♪
[people talking]
Listen
Who is this guy?
He's a cop.
He must be mad.
What's a cop want here?
He wants to die.
He's going to get his wish.
Indeed.
Listen.
I think you should leave. Now.
I'm waiting for Mechanic.
♪They said they're coming
to kill you. You need to leave.
I'm waiting for Mechanic.
You are stubborn, hey.
[club music plays]
[phone dialling]
Did Hofmeyer come here
and actually threaten you?
Yes. No, I don't know.
If Hofmeyer has a
gunman on his payroll
Daniel just told the world
that he can identify him
Why is he not answering?
- [phone rings]
- She just doesn't stop.
[phone rings]
Daniel, I really think you should
give the money back.
Jaime, they're not gonna
come after me again.
There's too much heat on me now.
I'm too high profile.
Daniel, we don't need the money.
I'm not going to Oxford.
I'm staying here, where we belong.
Dad wanted that scholarship, not you.
Yes, I do want it.
So what then? You're just gonna go?
Leave me here alone?
[Daniel]: What is your problem?
Why do you have to be like this now?
Why can't we just talk?
Because you never listen.
I used to be able to count on you.
We didn't have anyone but each other.
We still don't.
We made decisions together, Daniel.
Well, it seems like you want to
make all the decisions now.
Because you make bad ones.
Like telling the world you can
identify the killer.
And you? Do you make
the right decisions every time?
[Jaime]: Yeah. Run away, Daniel.
That'll solve everything.
[Daniel]: Can I just eat in peace?

I'm gonna start the car.

[Daniel]: Okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- I love you.
- I love you.
We're gonna be okay, okay?
- [Danie]: Okay let's go.
- [Jaime cries softly]
- [thunder rumbles]
- [eerie music plays]
[Edie] Holy shit. Stop the car!
Are you okay? What's happened?
You okay?
Okay. Okay.
- [Daniel]: I don't wanna die.
- [Edie]: Alright, alright.
Okay. You alright?
Look at me. Look at me. You okay?
You alright?
[ominous music plays]
[baby coos]

[ominous music crescendos]
I swept the place.
There's no one inside there.
He's probably just hiding,
waiting for you guys to leave.
- He has to be inside.
- Did you see him?
He's wearing a balaclava.
[Daniel]: Jaime slashed the guy
with a rake, but he's still out there.
This was because of the interview.
Why didn't you tell us that you
could identify him?
I didn't actually mean it.
I didn't even see anyone.
But why say something
You put yourself in danger, Daniel.
They were calling me a racist, Edie.
I have that interview this weekend.
You know how important that is.
I had to say something.
I told them
- there was someone else.
- This laaitie's stupid, man!
Hey! Look, it could be Hofmeyer.
Threaten the kids
to get you to back off?
Copy that. There's no sign of him.
Where's Detective Bell?
I tried to reach him.
Detective is on a lead.
What kind of lead?
- [Zondo]: It's police business.
- About this case?
I don't know. Maybe.
This is the second time
that somebody's
gotten into this house with a gun.
Sir, no one saw him.
Okay. My hut is in
front. He couldn't have come past me.
Somebody must have seen something.
He's not invisible.
They should come to my place.
It's okay. We can We can
book a hotel somewhere.
Rubbish. You're coming to Avi's.
And you're going to have a hot bath
and a proper supper
and then you're both
going to sleep safe tonight.
You don't have to like it.
You don't have to like me.
But that's what we're going to do.
So come on.
We're gonna get some of your things.
- [phone chimes]
- Hang on. My phone's going.
It's the hospital.
Hello. Edie Hansen.
[unsettling music plays]
Olivia has woken up.
[ominous music plays]
[ominous music continues]
Thank you, sir.
I don't know how to thank you,
but thank you.
[muffled scream]
[patient monitor beeps]
Mom?
Mom.
She isn't speaking yet. She has limited
movement in her upper body.
She's aphasic, which means
that the words are in her head
but they can't quite come out yet.
Sort of like her system is rebooting.
- [Edie]: How long will it take?
- [Dr. Motha]: It's unpredictable.
She's reaching for you.
- [patient monitor beeps]
- [melancholic music plays]
[Jaime weeps quietly]
[Mechanic laughs gleefully]
[Forty]: They nearly killed me
[Mechanic] You had fun, nah?
You were supposed to meet me.
I saw those guys go in, so I thought,
"No, let me wait a bit,
see if you had backup".
Good for the police to know what it's
like to be hunted, nah?
My little brother was caught with a car.
He is a good boy.
Maybe you can help him.
First my business, then yours.
The Bishopscourt shooting, was it a hit?
I can tell you who didn't kill him.
- That small drug gang.
- Yeah?
Neighbourhood rats, they don't go to the
Bishopscourt
to mess with the rich people.
Then who?
Some white guy wanted a cannon.
Don't smoke in my car.
[clicks tongue]
[gangster's car revs]
[Mechanic]: My guys
will pick me up here.
So this white guy
Is it Macky Hofmeyer?
I don't know. He's a middle-aged
guy. Nice clothes. Money.
Who did he find?
No one I know. Maybe
he found someone closer to home.
Definitely a professional.
Not some scum from the rank.
Where do I look for him?
So you want me to do your
job for you now, Forty, huh?
Fucking please.
This Hofmeyer, is he a big player?
Construction.
This is in-house.
Look at his payroll, who works for him,
maybe you know someone else
that knows someone else.
That it?
- Okay, thanks.
- Forty, Forty
You had a long day. Have a hit.
I don't need it.
[Mechanic laughs]
Forty! I like you.
[engine starts]
[sombre music]
- [patient monitor beeps]
- [melancholy music plays]
[nurse]: We need to let her rest. Mm?
Okay.
Um please can I stay a bit longer?
I'll take an Uber back.
Please, just ten minutes.
Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
[Bernice]: Where must I get a piano?
And then next week,
when you wanna play the violin
then what must I do?
Hey. It's okay. I'm fine.
[she sighs]
Everything's gonna be all right.
What is this I hear about a piano?
Hmm? Huh, little Missy!
And you my angel, what do you want?
- She wants help with her homework.
- [laughs]
- [Forty]: Mm-mm.
- How far are you?
I'm good, my teacher said
I got all my sums right.
Oh, that's very good.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- You can make your beds here.
You alright? You want something to eat?
No, thanks.
Well, if you need anything, just shout.
[sighs]
He's settling in.
[night ambience]
[waves crash quietly]
You should have seen
that look he gave her.
- Daniel?
- Yeah. To Jaime when she stayed behind.
He's jealous of her relationship
with Olivia.
I think you may be reading into that.
Olivia reached out for her, not him.
She completely left him out in the cold.
She's their mother.
[Avi]: What?
I need to go and see Forty.
You're joking.
We have to fix this.
Macky Hofmeyer is still out there.
Unreal.
Can I borrow your car keys?
- Yeah, they're on the hook.
- Thanks.
[patient monitor beeps]
I'm sorry I've always been
such a disappointment to you.
I'm sorry I can't be more like you.
[melancholy music plays]
But maybe I can try.
Maybe we can start over.
Daniel and I can take care of you.
You'll see.
[knocking on door]
Bernice?
I need him.
[door squeaks open]
Wow.
[Forty]: I come here
when I can't sleep.
Someone got into the kid's house.
With a gun.
Maybe to kill Daniel.
Maybe to scare me.
And Hofmeyer came and tried
to threaten me to my face.
Did you get my message
about the lawyer?
Yeah. But I checked.
He only worked for him once,
and it was like eight years ago, so
And you think you can trust him?
Sooner or later you've got to
trust someone, huh?
Well, wherever we look,
we always come back to this guy.
- Hello, Sir.
- Howzit, howzit?
This is Krisjan, Lucas, two of the best
guys in the company.
How's it guys?
Morgan has briefed you, yeah?
Yeah. Krisjan will drive the kids
to school and back.
Somebody will watch the front door
every day, six hour shifts.
All right. Don't let Edie see you.
She doesn't like being looked after.
[Forty]: This is what I think.
I think the investigation was closing in
on your brother.
But who they really wanted was
Macky Hofmeyer.
And if Macky is thinking your brother's
turning state witness
When I spoke to Banjo,
he said he saw someone that night.
He said a white boy.
But you know, Banjo's old.
He's older than Macky Hofmeyer,
so maybe he meant
- White man.
- Mm-mmh.
And you didn't think to tell me?
Oh, yeah, because if I had you'd have
doubled-down on Daniel.
Well, it doesn't matter now.
What I need, is I need to find the guy
that Macky Hofmeyer hired.
That is how we get him.
Great. What do I do?
Nothing. This is my case.
Let me do the lifting.
I can lift, too. I can dig.
I know, but it's good to feel
like a cop again.
Might not be able to beat the system.
But this guy I can beat him.
What happened to you out there today?
I'm not scared anymore.
[patient monitor beeping erratically]
[monitor flat lines]
[Jaime]: Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom, wake up! Mom!
[screaming:] Help! Mom! Mom!
Someone help, please!
Mom! Mom, wake up!
Please help! Help!
Mom! Mom, wake up, please!
Get the child out, please.
No! Mom!
- [Jaime]: Mom! No!
- Nurse! Call the doctor!
[Jaime]: Mom!
[waves swooshing]
[foreboding music plays]
[Avi]: Doctors say it's not uncommon.
Somebody wakes up from a coma,
it's a stress on the body.
Sudden stroke, heart attack.
I don't understand.
She was getting better.
She was coming back.
She loved you.
[Jaime]: I told her
maybe we could start again.
She was there and then
she wasn't.
[Avi]: Uhm, I've hired
somebody to watch you guys.
Uhm, they'll take you to school,
bring you back.
We'll lock down here early nights.
You'll stay here All of you.
I don't need a babysitter.
Fine. Then stay here and babysit yourself.
No. The play is on Friday night.
People are relying on us. We're going.
[melancholy music plays]
That girl is so single-minded.
People process grief in different ways.
Did you know Olivia well?
Until she called me the other day,
we'd had no contact in 17 years.
Didn't even know she had my number.
I phoned Andrew when I
came back to the country
but he told me to stay away.
Maybe I should have tried harder.
It was Daniel, wasn't it?
The child you gave away. It was him?
I see it in the way you look at him.
I hear it in the things you don't say.
They didn't think that Olivia
could get pregnant.
I was 16.
Who was the father?
Someone from school.
Bad decision.
Andrew persuaded me that they
would be good parents.
That they'd give him everything I
couldn't. A house. Family. Love.
I let them take him from me.
Your brother was
He was something.
He created his own world.
Then he altered
the inconvenient facts.
- So you went to England?
- I ran away.
Ran away to be someone else.
Then what
a year later Jaime was born.
Of course.
Good things happen when
you stop trying.
They also happen when you do try.
You'll have to tell him some time.
One day he'll see a birth certificate.
He's just lost his mother.
Must I take her away a second time?
He could be gaining one.
Oh, yeah "Hey, kid, you know that
awful aunt you've got?
Well, surprise, she's your mother!"
Yes, I think that's exactly
how you should tell him
Or just send a text.
Maybe there's an emoji.
He's your son.
That doesn't mean I'm his mom.
Edie, life doesn't have to be so hard.
You really think that I can be a mom?
I don't know. Maybe not.
Let's try.
There's a good answer.
Edie, I think I can make you happy.
I know I can.
The question is
Do you want to be happy?
Yes.

Have you heard about Olivia?
She's, uh
She's dead.

I'm sorry.

It's just me and you, together.
Promise?

[seaside ambience, gulls call]
[car hoots from behind]
Dammit!
Constable Zondo, we've got work to do.
We need to go through the list
of all of Hofmeyer's employees
check everyone on the payroll,
cross reference it with
criminal records, and
Can I have a word?
Are you still investigating
the McKenzie case?
So this is where it happens.
Is this now
where we start talking the truth?
Tell me, did Macky Hofmeyer
phone you, or did he go
straight to the General?
Forty, you're on thin ice.
Let me tell you the real state of play
of this investigation.
I think Macky Hofmeyer did it,
and I'm gonna bring him down.
Now, the way I see it, and
you can help me if I'm wrong,
you have two choices.
You help me bring him down,
and you can come up more or less clean
when all of this comes to light.
Or you stay dirty and when he
goes down, you go down with him.
- Zondo.
- Yes, ma'am?
Detective Bell is suspended
for gross insubordination.
He is removed from active duty
pending disciplinary hearing.
You will be responsible for seeing the
McKenzie case through to trial.
As your first responsibility,
please escort
Detective Bell from the premises.
[dramatic music plays]
[Forty]: It's fine.
[Mazneen]: Yes, I want you
to fact check that, because
Oh, my god, three o'clock.
- You piece of shit.
- Edie.
That interview nearly got him killed.
Do you know that?
- Do you even care?
- Ah It got 73,000 views yesterday.
Oh, did it? Clicks and views?
Not the truth. Clicks and views.
Who the fuck are you all of a sudden?
Because Edie Hansen knows
we sell newspapers.
Oh, sure. We just don't care who
we affect anymore, huh?
It's not your job to care about them.
Your job is to get the story.
Because why?
Because that's how we pay your salary.
With clicks and advertising.
Advertising, yes.
I see we're taking advertising
from Macky Hofmeyer now.
We take advertising.
And let me guess, the Bo-Kaap
development story
is going to get a little bit smaller
and a little bit smaller
until it completely disappears.
Spare me your self-righteousness.
I have to make
decisions that ensure
that there's still a
newspaper next month.
I used to look up to you, Mazneen.
I have a daughter.
What I need is a professional
who knows how to do her job.
No, what you need is my replacement.
Don't say something you'll have to
walk back tomorrow, Edie.
No, you're absolutely right.
So let me be very, very clear
about what I'm saying.
I quit! And furthermore, and
parenthetically and disclaiming
all future rights and remedies,
and in the full appreciation
of the consequences
of what I'm about to say
I hope both of you, very professionally,
go fuck yourselves!
- Hey, Greta.
- Hey, Daniel.
I heard about your mom.
I just want to say I'm sorry.
Thank you.
You're being really brave.
If there's anything I can do,
seriously, if you need anything at all
if you wanna talk, or go over lines.
Anything.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
[Ms Geraghty]: Okay, guys,
we've got a lot to get through today
but I am so excited for tomorrow
because tomorrow is opening night!
[cheering]
[probing music plays]
It's okay, no one will see us here.
- Are those the employment records?
- Yes, sir.
I got them from De Kock.
He was happy someone still cares.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
We have to cross reference this
against our criminal database.
- We can isolate some
- Sir, if I may?
How they knew we were still
investigating
It was me.
- Detective Bell is a good detective.
- [Zondo]: I told them.
Thank you, Commander.
Sometimes, I worry about him.
Do me a favour.
- Keep an eye on him.
- [Zondo]: The commander asked me to
Spy on me?
If he does anything like
reopens the case, further
investigations
let me know.
She said she wanted to help you.
You're too intelligent
to believe that.
[Forty]: Are you married?
I have a wife.
Kids?
You did the right thing.
You need to provide for them.
Go back to work,
you were never here.
Get promoted.
Take care of the ones that you love.
They say young men should
fight the system.
But young men have
other things to do.
Fighting the system
is an old man's job.
If they ask, you say I wanted
your help, and you declined.
I do want to help you.
And you did. Now go.
Go home. Go, go, go.
It's okay.

I'm a very bad driver, Mr. Gatsby.
But a bad driver is perfectly safe
until she meets another bad driver.
How do you drive, Mr. Gatsby?
Hold on, hold on.
Is this the right lighting cue?
[backstage hand]: Yes.
Okay, fine. Thank you.
Remember Greta, you're not
Gatsby's love interest.
His relationship is with Daisy.
[Greta]: Okay, Miss.
I'm so excited you'll both be
at Oxford next year.
I got to win that scholarship first.
You will. I don't think you actually
know how amazing you are.
Don't know if I'm amazing enough
to play Gatsby, though.
[laughing lightly]
You are. You're doing so great, really.
[Daniel]: I'm pretty nervous, more
nervous for this than the interview.
[sinister music plays]
[Daniel and Greta laughing and talking]
How long you been here?
I lost you in Wale Street.
This is Avi's doing.
He paid me to take leave
so I could watch you.
Ma'am, he just wants to
make sure you're safe.
Okay, well, you can't
sit out here, can you?
If you're going to babysit,
you might as
well do it on a comfy chair. Come on.
- [Great Gatsby music echoes]
- [Greta]: Be back in five, Miss G.
Jaime, I'm so sorry about your mom.
Yeah, you said.
I just My grandmother died
last year, and it really
You like my brother, don't you?
Is it obvious?
Yeah, well, it is to me.
Do you think he likes me?
I don't know.
You should ask him.
- I hope he does.
- Yeah.
[Greta screams]
[eerie music]
Greta? Oh my god,
Greta, are you okay?
I think I'm bleeding.
Yeah.
You'll stay away from my brother
unless you want to bleed more.
He doesn't need a skank like you
confusing him.
- [Greta]: Ow!
- [Jaime]: Do you hear me?
Yes, yes.
If you try to come between us
you'll bleed more than you can
ever fucking imagine.
Do you want water?
- [phone chimes]
- Yeah, thank you.
Hang on, Forty. You're on speaker.
So no sexy talk, okay?
Because I'm with Morgan Witbooi
and he's watching me like a hawk.
[Forty]: If you still want
to help you can come
and read through some papers.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That was a one-time only offer.
I have about 1,000 names here on
Macky Hofmeyer's payroll
over the last five years.
We need to cross reference
that against our criminal database.
Do you feel like a cop, yet?
- Ha ha.
- [Edie giggles]
Okay, well, look, come over,
and we'll split it 50-50, okay?
Okay, I'm just going to wrap up
here, and then I'll be there.
Alright.
Morgan.
Thank you.
You got a license
to carry that off duty?
Yeah, uhm, I used
to be in the police.
My ex-wife always told me I should
just sleep with my gun.
I take it everywhere like a girlfriend.
I hate guns.
Yeah, she did too.
What's it like working in Bishopscourt?
Yeah, it's nice.
You couldn't pay me enough to
spend time with those people.
Yeah.
I know their secrets.
I see who comes and goes.
I'll bet.
You don't look great, you know?
You know, before I started working,
I always thought
it was only poor people
who had problems.
Rich people have problems too, man.
They're just like us,
they fall into holes.
When we were small, we used to think
that if you dug deep enough
you could come out in China.
Yeah, us too.
The hole just gets deeper.
Are you sure you're okay?
[menacing music plays]
Can I smoke?
Yeah, of course.
[menacing music plays]
[Robert groans and weeps]
No, no, no, no.

What happened?
- [Morgan]: Oh, it's nothing.
- Let me look.
This is Edie Hansen, leave a message.
Edie, I've been checking
the employment records
for Hofmeyer and McKenzie.
Three years ago, they employed a
Security Guard at their office
goes by the name of Morgan Witbooi.
Let me see. Ooh!
What happened?
It's the same guy.
Morgan Witbooi is the killer.
Morgan it's infected, it's got
[Daniel]: Jaime slashed the guy with a
rake, but he's still out there.
White boy.
[dramatic music plays]
I looked it up once.
Turns out if you dig straight through
the earth from Cape Town you
you don't get to China,
it's the middle of the sea.
How do you know when your
story is finished?
It's getting cold, we should go in.
[Morgan]: You write.
My English teacher, Mrs. Maree,
she always said
you write until
your story is finished.
But how do you know
when it's finished?
Ma'am, I think my story is nearly done.
[speaks tensely:]
We should go inside.
- [dramatic music plays]
- Not yet.
Just not yet, alright?
Witbooi.
Banjo said he saw someone.
He thought he saw a white boy.
He was saying your name.
White boy.
Witbooi.
You shouldn't have
gone to look for him.
[dramatic music plays]
[car horn hoots]
Move!
You killed Banjo.
He drowned. He was a
drunk and he drowned.
You killed the cat.
Ma'am, I just wanted to scare you.
I, I wanted you to
stop looking, all right?
And yesterday, at the
McKenzie's house, you what?
You took off what you were wearing,
and you came to the front door
as, as if you were
answering the call?
When the boy said he recognised me,
he said he saw me,
and I just
I thought if, if, if I just keep digging,
that I will get to China.
Macky Hofmeyer hired you, right?
He paid you to kill my brother.
Not even close.
I'll help you.
If you testify against Hofmeyer
It wasn't Hofmeyer, ma'am
What then?
Mr. McKenzie knew me from when
I worked for him before.
[doorbell chimes]
[dramatic music playing]
He said he was going bankrupt.
He said he had a housing deal,
but that the police were after him
and even if he helped them,
people will still think that he's a crook.
He said he was trying for so long,
but he was tired.
Tired of what?
Not in the face.
He wanted to die so that
people wouldn't think he's a failure.
[dramatic music plays]
[pistol hammer cocks]
[Andrew]: Focus on me.
Come on, Morgan. We had an agreement.
Don't worry about them.
They'll be fine.
Come on. Morgan!
[gun fires]
[body slumps down]
You're telling me my brother
paid you to kill him?
He told me what time to be there.
He told me to come alone.
He's the one who opened up the safe
to make it look like
it was a robbery.
He's the one who switched off all
the cameras in the house.
Why did you kill Olivia?
I didn't do that!
That I didn't do. Alright?
No one else was supposed to get hurt.
I went through the front.
No one else was supposed to get hurt.
I'm gonna help you.
We're gonna talk to Detective Bell.
He'll understand.
It's too late.
It's not too late. It's never too late.
It's too late.
Ma'am, we're born into this world.
I live there, you live here.
But there are these walls
between us, alright?
And the, the, the, the
road is already there,
and the ending has
already been decided.
That's not true, Morgan.
We can break it. We can escape.
I've tried.
- There's no escape.
- Oh, Morgan, don't. I'm pregnant.
[dramatic music plays]
I swear.
Why would you bring a
baby into this world?
Maybe the world can't change.
But we can.
[dramatic music continues]
We can choose to change.
Choose?
Choose? What what choice?
It just keeps going
like a wheel, ma'am.
[speaks angrily:]
It turns, and it turns,
but nothing changes!
[Edie]: No, it can change!
We can choose to change. We can.
I'm gonna love this baby.
I'm gonna love this baby.
I'm gonna show it how to love.
I'm not going to pass down to it
what was given to me.
I won't. You don't have to either.
Listen to me!
No, no, no.
