Help me!
Mogomotsi.
Are you okay? What happened?
Okay. Wait, let me help you up.
What is it?
I heard a knock. What happened?
That was quick.
- What's going on? Are you okay?
- Mogomotsi.
You okay?
What happened?
I don't know.
Hey man, you don't look too good.
I must've blacked out.
Mo, all these strange things
that have been happening to you.
What's going on?
Careful.
Hello?
Are you sure?
What's up?
Mo, what is it?
It's our father.
What? No.
No.
- No, no!
- That's It's okay.
No
What? What's going on? What happened?
Is it uncle Si? Did they find him?
It's your grandfather.
He's no longer with us.
Fuck.
Um,
Yeah?
I'm on my way.
How did this happen, Sting?
My father is
supposed to be protected, right?
My entire family is
supposed to be protected.
Boss, we'll find out who's behind it.
My father is fucking dead!
Do you understand?
The two of you were supposed to make
sure something like this doesn't happen.
You know what, actually
I'm starting to question
your function in this family.
Who the fuck could've done this?
It's possible
Danny Steenkamp was involved.
No, I don't think so.
He would've come for us directly.
Come at us head-on.
Okay then, who? Hm? Who?
Does this have to do with
Simon's disappearance also?
You have 24 hours to
find out who killed my father.
In the meantime, I want
increased security around my family.
Get the fuck out of here.
Boss, the American was
snooping around Robin's house.
What was he looking for?
I don't know,
but whatever it is, he found it.
Find out what he was looking for
and get back to me.
And Leon, make sure this stays between us.
Copy.
Dad, you know, times like these
I wish uncle Si was around.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Drive.
Okay.
Hello, Ma'am. Can I help you?
Ma'am, is everything okay?
Mo, stop calling me.
They shot him.
Who?
My father.
They shot him
and left him to die like a dog.
Ma'am?
Ma'am, is everything okay?
Thank you for coming.
What?
Is that your favorite flavor?
- Mmm-hmm.
- Thank me, cause I got it.
- Taking?
- No.
We should thank
the person who made the chips.
Why do you always wanna fight with me?
- Calm down, you guys.
- Mm, I'm so bored.
What do you want to do?
Hmm
Oh, I know. Let's play hide and go seek.
Oh, yeah. Start counting, Vero.
Why should I start counting?
Because you're the oldest.
Whatever.
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three, two, one.
Ready or not, here I come.
Keneilwe?
Mo?
Mo?
Keneilwe?
Keneilwe, I've got sweets.
Mo?
How many times have
I told you not to go in there?
I'm sorry.
- Do you ever listen to anything I say?
- I'm sorry.
Don't you dare open that door again,
do you hear me?
- Yes.
- Go to your room! Go on!
Almighty Father and our Lord.
We are so grateful
that you created us in Your own image.
Giving us gifts and talents to serve you.
We thank you for my brother's life.
A grandfather, a father, and a husband.
We thank you for all the years
you've given us to share with him.
Today we lift him up in honor
of the good that we saw in him,
and the love that we felt from him.
Oh, all-powerful Lord. Even though
Simon Masire is not here with us,
we ask you to bring
him back safe and sound.
We also please ask of You
that his children and his loved ones
have the strength to leave him
in Your care,
and in the knowledge of eternal life.
We ask all these in the name
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
He's in a good place now, my child.
Son
let's go.
A little further away.
We'll see how we go about it.
I know you've already met,
but I don't know
if you still remember Veronica Masire.
Uncle Taledi.
Veronica?
My brother's daughter.
- It is her in the flesh.
- You don't say.
The last I saw of you,
you were not even my waist high.
- With mucus running down her nose.
- Get out of here.
I never thought I'd see you this old.
I never thought you were still alive.
Come here.
Hmm.
My brother
We're taking you
on your final journey.
Where we're
going to lay your last remains.
May you pass our regards
when you get there Mogorotse.
To our grandparents and forbearers.
Rest in peace, Moromotse.
There is no strife
when the Lord is present
Glad you made it.
Oh it's a short trip to Gabs city
for a grieving brother.
You know Mo, the thought that someone can
come for one of us makes my blood boil.
But I'll promise you one thing, King.
We will get those motherfuckers.
I appreciate that.
I'm putting the deal on hold.
Look,
King, with all due respect to the dead,
I don't think we should do that.
Look, the longer
we put this thing on hold,
the higher the risk
of the gold being found.
The problem we're faced with
is that we're being watched like a hawk.
If we knew
where you were keeping the gold,
we could help you protect
it from somebody stealing it.
That's not going to happen.
Sure.
I'll touch base with you once we get back
to Johannesburg. Thank you for coming.
Hmm.
Get inside.
The club is fucking burnt, man!
Couldn't even recognize it.
A waitress from across the building
saw a car parked around four a.m.
Three white guys, young.
Steenkamp.
- No, we can't be certain.
- Don't be naïve, Mo.
- Boss, I can do some digging.
- Yeah, do that.
Fuck!
What is it now?
Simon is gone for what, two minutes?
Two minutes! And things are
already falling the fuck apart.
We'll fix this.
Will we? Huh? Really?
Because you
you were supposed to be there with him.
Where the fuck were you
when he needed you?
Okay, Tlotlo, calm down.
You cannot be fighting right now
No, no. Fuck that, all right!
Things were perfectly fine
before you came back home from jail!
First I find out
I had a sister that I barely even knew!
Now uncle Si is missing,
and my grandfather is dead,
and the club uncle Si
gave me is fucking gone, man!
- Listen, man, I do
- Fuck! Jesus fucking Christ!
Let him go.
He just needs someone to lash out to.
Yeah, he's right, though.
Perhaps I am to blame.
Mo.
Mogomotsi?
What exactly happened to Simon?
Simon had a mistress.
An American girl called Robin.
They had a child together.
Named him Sam junior.
Essentially, he was
hiding them from everyone.
She found out some things about Simon
that that didn't sit well with her.
Things like what?
Whatever it is, she got so scared,
she took the boy,
went to Botswana without telling Simon.
There was this,
American assassin looking for her.
He wanted to take her out
for something she had done in her past.
What could she have been involved in?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
So, that's why
you don't think it was Steenkamp.
Yeah.
What does this have to do with Simon?
When I find out Simon was over there, I
I went over to give him moral support.
Vero, um
Simon had Mama's curse.
When he couldn't protect
his son and his girlfriend, he
He resorted to, um
To what?
To killing his own son.
Yeah. I'll tell her. Okay.
There's been a fire
at Masire's place. Arson.
Interesting.
No. I think someone is trying
to disturb the status quo.
Do you think
it has something to do with the gold?
Everything has to do with the gold.
- South African Police Service!
- Shit.
Yo.
I don't think he's here.
Should we get a warrant?
Another time.
Come on, Thuso. Where the fuck are you?
Anything?
I think this dog ran away.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Hold up.
Come on, Thuso. Where the fuck are you?
Let's go.
Come on.
Shit.
Oh, yeah.
Shit!
Thuso Tladi, you're under arrest
for armed robbery.
- Hey! Easy. Fuck.
- Oh, yeah. Were you going somewhere?
Yeah, just on a little vacation.
I've got a vacation for you.
Let's go.
There'll be one, two, three,
four men's dinner tonight.
Jesus.
Okay. Thank you.
You know why you're here?
I heard you waived
your right to a lawyer. Why is that?
Is it because you know what they'll
do to you if they found out you were here?
Thuso
We have a witness that can identify you
as being part of the armed robbery
that happened last week.
God, you think this is a joke?
Her. Look at her.
Do you remember her?
Hmm?
I think he does.
You see, conspiracy to commit
armed robbery and kidnapping,
those are two very serious offences.
You're looking at life.
Unless you can help us.
Listen here, Goldilocks.
We don't give a shit about you.
We want the Masires.
Shh!
- I think he wants to talk.
- I think he does.
Wanna help us?
The person whom you're trying
to reach is currently unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Coshwa.
I thought I was protected.
I thought you were
going to protect me at all times.
Now look what has happened.
I told you I need blood.
Or else, I'm going to take any
one of the Masires that I want.
Look, Angela
I know what you're going to ask me.
But the truth is nobody knows.
But I want you to know
I'll do everything in
my power to find him.
Yeah, I know.
He's your brother, after all.
You know, I realized today
that I have been so desperate
to find answers,
that I've been blaming
the people that love him.
I'm sorry.
No.
You don't need to apologize.
Oh, I do.
I've been selfish and,
I know your heart's in the right place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You called?
Look.
you will have your gold soon. Alright?
You know what the most
valuable commodity in life is?
- What?
- The most valuable.
What is it?
Look, we have a deal.
It's time.
Oh, so, my brother decides
to steal my father's car, right.
My dad was going to be gone
for a while, so he figures,
you know, take the car, take a girl
on a joy ride and have a good time.
Of course, he did. Of course, he did.
Of course, Simon Masire, right?
So, Keneilwe and I are at home.
Veronica was already gone at this point.
So we hear noises around the yard.
Yeah, get up naturally,
thought Simon's back,
I open the door guess who I see?
- Your dad?
- My dad. Ooh
He gave Simon the biggest
ass whipping of his entire fucking life.
Yeah, my brother he was um,
forever the troublemaker, you know.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, I'll never forget it.
Can you believe that we were once
The most valuable commodity
in our lives right now is time.
You can't bring it back,
and you can't bring it forward.
Even the limited time we have left
It's not guaranteed.
- What um a thing?
- A couple.
- Well, a married couple.
- Married. Oh. Gosh!
It's pretty disgusting, right?
I'll drink to that one.
Sure. Yeah.
But that was a long time ago, though.
- Mm, yeah.
- Yeah.
I heard about your grandfather.
What? Did you do it?
I wish.
Maybe I would've been
more creative about the whole thing.
You know what's the most painful
thing about losing someone you love?
The pain never really goes away.
It gets better
but it never really goes away.
Last thing, do you remember
where we first met?
- Yeah, of course I remember.
- Do you?
- Do you?
- Of course, I do.
- The bathroom of The Fast Lanes.
- The bathroom of The Fast Lanes. Yes.
You had some guy pinning you
against the wall trying to beat you down.
- Yeah.
- I thought you needed rescuing, you know.
- So I came in
- Yeah. I did.
Then you came in,
you thought you were this macho guy,
and then the next thing
he punched you in the face.
Yeah. And of course,
my brother came through and did what
Of course, of course.
He saved the day. Go figure.
Yeah. Simon.
Yeah.
I miss him so much.
Yeah.
I miss him too.
Hey. Hey, look, that's okay. Come here.
I'll find him. I promise you.
Yeah?
I'll find him.
You and your family murdered my father.
You took his life.
You took his time.
And you think gold will bring him back?
Tlotlo, no amount of gold can bring back
the time I could have
spent with my father.
Are we done?
We have a new deal.
Your life or your father's.
What is this?
Hmm.
So the answer to
your question is no, Tlotlo.
We're not done.
We're not done.
