Kings of Jo'burg (2020) s02e08 Episode Script

1
Hey, hey.
I've got you, baby.
Are you okay?
You know I'll always take care of you.
I know.
My dad asked you
to kill somebody very close to me.
I'm not going to
let that happen, superman.
You see, the days of him
taking the people I love away from me
those days are over.
You know,
this boy isn't here. He's gone.
Tlotlo's not in the house,
after I very specifically told him not
to leave the house till further notice.
Uncle Taledi took my wife, but now
I have to worry about this boy as well.
Do you think this
place is safe, Mogomotsi?
Yeah, I mean
I'm just saying maybe,
Tlotlo doesn't feel safe being here.
What do you mean?
- I've got the best security.
- Oh, wow!
Well, if you've got
something to say, just say it.
Sometimes people are in danger
from their own families.
The very same person you trust the most
can just shoot you like a stray dog,
in the middle of Gabarone.
Like you have no one who loves you.
I didn't expect this from you.
Not you, Mo! Not you!
Simon took two of my babies. Two!
How do you step
in those shoes? How do you do that?
How much more of Masire blood
do you want to give to this thing?
How much more must we lose?
You know what
I hope Tlotlo stays away from you.
As far away from you as he can.
Please leave me in peace.
Fuck!
Oh, the main man.
Is this you? I'm surprised you can stand.
The doctors are really amazed.
They say this is a miracle.
You should consider yourself lucky.
Why?
Firstly, you're still alive.
Two, you should see this
as an opportunity to redeem yourself.
Make what was wrong right.
What is it?
Stop playing dumb, Thuso.
You know what I'm here for.
I'm here to offer you protection.
Mogomotsi Masire tried to have you killed.
To shut you up for everything you know.
It's starting to sink in now, huh?
Yeah, let's be honest,
Thuso, between you and me.
We both know the truth.
You're living on borrowed time.
I'd also be trying to run
from the hospital if I were you.
- You can't protect me.
- I can protect you.
And I will.
All you have to do,
is tell me everything you know
about the gold heist
and I'll take care of the rest.
I'll get you to a safe house,
a location of your choosing.
You can start your life from scratch.
Fresh start.
Far away
where no one can get to you.
- Hey.
- Why should I trust you?
Because besides me, there's
no one else who can keep you alive.
You go out there and you're dead.
Think about it.
Don't be an idiot, take the deal.
Stay alive.
Or you can go to prison,
where the Masires can get to you.
And I guarantee you,
they're not going to fuck up this chance.
So what's it going to be?
I tried.
Wait.
I'll do it.
Good.
Tlotlo, you don't want to do this.
Tlotlo, you are not a killer.
You and I both know this.
Just tell us where they're keeping her.
- Keeping who?
- Menzi's daughter!
How the fuck must I know?
Don't act dumb, alright?
It's fucking insulting.
She's dead.
- Bullshit!
- Why would I lie?
Because we know Mo is keeping her alive.
So the sooner you tell us where she is,
the sooner you get
the fuck-up out of here.
Why? Listen to me.
Why would he do that?
How the fuck should I know, Leon? Hmm?
Maybe it's the same reason why
he had you try to kill Thuso.
Thuso? Thuso's a fucking snitch!
Thuso's turned fucking state witness!
Fucking bullshit, man!
And how do you know this?
Huh? How do you know that right now
he's not singing like a fucking bitch?
Within an hour, all the cops in
Jozi are going to be after your father.
Babe, listen, don't listen to him.
Tlotlo, listen to me,
your father needs me right now.
This whole Zaza thing,
this is a waste of time.
I can see right here right now,
you guys are making
this up as you go along. Fuck sakes!
You've got three seconds.
One
- two
- Mimi.
Thank you for meeting me.
You have the guts to show your face here!
I should have them cut up
and hung at my gate
Annamarie, that's enough.
She's right though.
Showing up here, outnumbered, unprotected.
You're either crazy or stupid.
What do you want?
I think he wants to die.
I say give him what he wants.
Is she right?
Is that what you want? Hmm?
I know you think
I killed your son, but I didn't.
I do know who did it, though.
And I have proof.
I'll blow his brains out,
just give me the order.
Hold on a bit. Relax.
Who gives a fuck who did it?
My son is dead.
And I still don't have
the gold you promised me.
You'll get your gold.
What's the catch?
Make sure it doesn't
land in the wrong hands.
That's the catch.
Whose hands?
The ones who killed my boy?
Hmm?
As discussed,
once the gold is within our possession,
it will be split accordingly.
Obviously, our family is
going to take the lion's share,
but rest assured,
if everyone plays their part,
we will be expediently generous.
Lastly
are your men in place?
Of course.
I need specifics.
If Aliko Bajo has said it is, then it is.
No need to undermine anyone here.
Nobody is.
We know how
important you are to this operation,
and you'll both be rewarded accordingly,
once Jo'burg is firmly in our hands.
I want control of all
the drug shipments to Jo'burg.
The distribution networks,
and a good part of the end sale.
- That's not what we agreed on.
- Done.
What?
You heard me.
Half the shipments and 80% distribution.
The rest is ours.
What about Masire?
Ah, he won't be an issue.
Most of his men are either dead,
in jail, or have fled.
He doesn't have an army.
Mr. Turner,
can we trust you with our little request?
Just make sure I get my share.
Or what?
Or my list will be a lot longer.
You don't want to be on my list.
Veronica, give us the room.
Something I should be worried about?
Stop asking too many questions. Leave us.
Once the gold is safely in our possession,
I want you to kill Turner
and everyone of the Masire family
including Veronica.
I don't want any of them
coming to challenge me
once I take over Johannesburg.
All right, listen up.
We have warrants of arrest
for the entire Masire crime family.
But it doesn't mean shit.
Our focal point will still be
Mogomotsi Masire for the orchestration
and the execution of
the SA Mineral Transit heist.
There is a catch.
For these arrests to
land in the court of law,
we need rock-hard fucking evidence.
I'm talking evidence in the form of cash
and evidence in the form of gold.
Now, after gathering enough intel
from my man on the inside,
cause somebody has to
fucking do the work
we have reason to
believe that the Masire family
plan to exchange the cash
for the gold bars today.
Now you know what that means.
Mulaudzi,
it means your team
has to be on their A fucking game.
Yes, Sir.
I'm not taking excuses this time.
The men we're referring to
are highly dangerous.
They will not think twice.
They will blow your head off.
So we need to fight back.
We show them no respect in that regard.
The meeting point is a locked-off road
that is still under construction.
- You know what that means, Sergeant Dumi.
- Yes sir.
It means you cannot tell me
that civilians were in the way.
That is no longer an excuse.
Team A.
I need Team A on the south east flank,
and I need Team B on the north flank.
I don't need to remind you what
happens to any member of this team
that doesn't pull their weight, do I?
No, Sir.
You remember Stan?
Yeah.
You remember Stan?
Don't be Stan.
Let's get to work.
- Leave me alone.
- Hey, get off your brother!
Always remember that in life,
you'll always have arguments.
But never let anything
or anyone get between you guys, okay?
Family comes first.
I hope you also heard me, right?
Family comes first.
I broke my promise to you, brother.
I made a promise
that nothing will ever come between us
and our family.
I failed you.
But I promise you now
it is not a mistake I'm
going to ever make again.
I want you to tell me the truth.
I want you to confess, Mogomotsi.
I know that your mother was a murderer,
and Simon killed her for her power.
That you were arrested
for the heist ten years ago.
And that Simon took everything
including your son,
and the woman that you loved.
You planned your revenge.
Made him trust you again.
And that's what you did,
when the moment came
you killed him.
This was revenge, wasn't it?
Admit it!
Admit it, dammit!
- Admit it!
- All right, I did it!
I did it.
But I had no choice, Angela.
I didn't have a choice.
I killed my own brother, it's true.
I killed my father's son.
But I had no choice.
The curse wanted a sacrifice.
A sacrifice he wasn't willing to give,
but when Robin's past caught up to her
and Sam Jnr
he went to Botswana
to try and protect them,
but he was overpowered.
Instead of sacrificing himself
he killed his own son.
I killed him.
I wanted to put an end to this curse.
It has been in our family for decades.
I did it to protect my son, Tlotlo.
I did it to protect my unborn child.
I did it to protect all the Masires
of the future generations.
It wasn't until
I realized it was all in vain.
What do you mean?
As you can see
the Mermaid lives in me.
I'm going to take one of you tonight.
As in tonight.
Please don't do this to me. Please.
As in tonight!
I'm losing everyone in my family.
Please, I need your help.
You have failed to
deliver on what I wanted.
I'm asking for one last chance.
You will get the child you want.
Just grant me one last chance.
Please, don't do this to me.
I've got something you're looking for.
Robin left it with Simon
in case something happened to her.
It has all the passwords to the account
you found in the FBI hard drive
you retrieved at Robin's house.
What do you want in exchange for that?
I want to talk business.
Are these all the men?
Yeah.
After the whole thing
with Bra Si dying and the police raid,
a lot of our guys have bailed on us.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Look, with all due respect,
I don't have a good feeling
about this whole thing.
I don't think you should worry until
the last piece of the puzzle is in place.
Like my brother used to say, have faith.
Leon, where have you been?
We have a problem with Tlotlo.
I'll deal with that later.
Yeah?
Kyalami Race Track.
Midnight. Bring me the gold.
If you want the gold,
you will find it in an old road
that has been reconstructed,
right outside of Soweto.
I'll send you the coordinates.
I think you're forgetting
that I have your precious wifie.
My location, my rules.
Take it or leave it.
You didn't have to be here.
I wanted to be.
Who else is going to have your back?
You know, with Keneilwe,
Angela, and Tlotlo
feeling the way they do about what I did
I love you, sis.
What is it?
Nothing.
I don't remember
you telling me you love me.
Let the games begin.
Where's my wife?
The gold.
Let's just get this shit over
and done with.
It's nothing personal, nephew.
I just hope you understand that.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
Leon, Sting,
- take my wife to safety, please.
- Boss, are you sure?
- Baby, are you sure?
- It's okay.
You can come back now.
Sorry, little brother, I can't do that.
What are you doing?
Something I've been wanting to
do since this family abandoned me.
What are you talking about?
I looked for you.
- I told you this.
- This is about what your father,
my brother,
did to me.
What are the Masires good for? Taking.
And leaving nothing for the rest of us.
My father
your brother.
That man built this family
from the ground up.
He took this family
to unimaginable heights.
So what the fuck are you talking about?
Your father stole what was meant for me.
And Simon took from me.
Simon saved you.
Simon saved himself and left me for dead.
You all did.
And now,
it's time we repaid the favor.
You're coming with us.
Let's go.
Move.
Go!
You are not supposed
to feel guilty about anything.
I'm very proud of you.
Where the fuck is my gold?
Where is my gold?
Okay.
Where is my gold?
Kill him!
Shoot him!
What's wrong with you?
When the gold is safely in our possession,
I want you to kill
everyone in the Masire family,
including Veronica.
You recorded me?
That was me, old school.
I told you to stay off my list.
Now look at you.
You fucked up.
You disloyal bitch!
You see, that's the difference
between you and us, Uncle.
And what's that?
You see, to us
family always comes first.
Get down!
What have you done?
What have you done?
What the fuck have you done?!
What the fuck have you done?
This asshole was
loyal to no one but himself.
Let's take them in, let's take them in!
Arrest them!
Surprise.
Let's take them!
You're under arrest.
We know that Taledi Masire is your father.
Now, drop the fucking gun.
Put it down!
Down!
- You're fucking making a big mistake.
- Raise your hands.
Arrest him.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say
- Fuck!
- Silence.
There's something else we need to do.
Fine.
But remember that you and I
we had a deal.
What deal?
Let's get out of here.
Let's go!
Hey, jailbirds, come here!
Hurry up!
Move. Hurry up, man.
Hurry up, man.
This is not your mother's house.
Go inside.
I'm looking for someone.
Look, I don't know
how you do things back in Sun City,
but here you greet.
- Hello.
- Hello.
The person I'm looking for,
we share the same surname.
I'm sure you know him.
He's expecting you.
Good.
Get inside. Hurry up!
Come on.
A frog doesn't hop
around in the day for no reason.
I, the chief priest, spirit above spirits,
I'll give you the power of all powers,
A frog doesn't hop
around in the day for no reason.
I, the chief priest,
the spirit above all spirits,
I will give you this power. Impenetrable.
We have work to do.
I've been waiting for you,
my child.
Impenetrable.
Hmm.
Impenetrable.
Blood must spill! Blood must spill!
Blood must spill!
I need a hand. You have stayed alone ♪
Tlotlo and Mimi's marriage
is still running strong.
And little Mo has been
such a beautiful handful.
I guess, just like his father.
And Phumzi is still processing it all,
and taking it day by day. But she's good.
Keneilwe, she thinks
she gave Lester too much information,
and blames herself for his disappearance.
But I've got her.
But who am I fooling?
You already know all of this.
Because I know that you walk
with us in spirit every single day.
I love you.
You'll always
be the ultimate king of Jo'burg.
Auntie, Auntie, you can't catch me.
Oh yes I can, little Si.
Come here.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Say hi to Daddy.
- Hi.
Hi.
We missed you.
I missed you too.
You know, it feels
so good to know that our son is safe,
and we don't have to look
over our shoulder anymore.
