Mm-hmm.
Whoo!
[Fikile] Spain was relaxing.
Great school. People are all super chill.
[whistle blows]
Back home, I've still been taking it easy.
Although, I might have pushed myself
at prelims.
I don't know, though. Since Spain,
it's just been really weird with my dad.
- Which one?
- Brian.

[Fikile] He's still worried

I'd like you to try something.
Pay close attention
to your thought process

Remember, Puleng,
what you've been through

But to truly move forward,
you're going to have to let
Let go of the past.
[camera shutter clicks]
[crowd chattering excitedly]
This isn't over.
[Puleng] I know.
And I have.
Mrs. Molapo, do you have

You should come this side.
Just, like, fuck Parkhurst.
Yeah, fuck Parkhurst!

You could at least pretend
like you're having a good time.
Uh, how's about maybe
you start pacing yourself?
[chuckles dryly]
Wade, have you seen Fiks?
I'm gonna go get a drink.
Ugh, fuck me. Chris's parties

Oh, so when I said "fan," I meant
[imitates whirring]
- That that type fan.

I actually remember taking a photo of you,
but like two years ago,
at your grade eight mentorship camp.
Oh no, I was so scrawny back then.
Uh, no.
I look a bit different now.
Don't you think?
Mmm.
It's super embarrassing,
but I must admit
I'm kind of a fan of yours too.

[Puleng sighs heavily]
So, what happened to our agreement
that you are to text me
every 30 minutes when you're out?
Sorry.
I got distracted.
It's been a while since I felt normal.
I'm glad you had fun, my child.
But we have to stick to protocol
every time you're out and about.
[sighs] Good morning, all.

Also just to give us some time
to slow down a bit.
Okay, I'm out.

at the party? I thought you left early.

Bro! Bro, your track's playing.
Yeah, but but how did Max
get it off my phone?
I I sent it to him, man.
Yo, check the comments.
Bro! Chris, why the fuck
would you do that?
Man, your track's killing it.

Okay, um, use the Find-My-Phone app.
Just put in your deets.
Thanks.

"Any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind,
and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls,
it tolls for thee."
As the new principal of Parkhurst High,
I promise to instill order.
But in turn,
I expect you to uphold that order.
It begins with thinking
about your fellow classmate,
and how your choice will affect them.
Yes, the bell tolls for each
and every one of you sitting here.
- This quote by John Donne
- [cell phone vibrates]
speaks of the essence
of what we should be striving for
here at Parkhurst High.
And as we all near the end of the year,
what legacy do you wish to leave behind?

[school bell rings]
Hey. Did you do this?
What?
[moaning on video]
- Tell me, did you?
- No.
- So then where did this video come from?
- I don't know. I was drunk too.
Drunk or not, you happened to leave out
- the fact you knew who I was.
- What?
Did you come to the party knowing
I'd be there?
Or did you set up the camera
before I got there, like a creep?
I just arrived in Cape Town, okay?
Okay? What kind of person
do you think I am?
I don't fucking know you.
Yeah, but you had sex
with a person you don't know.
- Maybe I wasn't the only one.
- [gasps]
[students gasp and chuckle]
["Phihli Phohlo" by GP MaOrange plays]
What the fuck? What happened?
Iván.
[softly] Sorry.
65%? I got sixty
Iván.
You guys had sex?
What's the big deal?
But I just don't know
why she thinks I recorded it.
What?
Yes!
[students whisper excitedly]
Ma'am, there seems to have been
a mistake with my English paper mark.
Well, the class did poorly on average.
[scoffs] I can't fail English, ma'am.
Well, then you're gonna have to focus
next time, ladies.
Ma'am, we're the ambassadors of focus.
Exactly. We demand a re-mark.
"Demand"? [chuckles]
No re-marks. Class dismissed.
- See you later.
- Yeah.
Iván, you don't understand.
Puleng having sex
with a guy that she just met?
Like, that's just not her.
And someone recorded it?
- Are you sure maybe you didn't
- Come on.
I'm just saying,
Puleng does not need this right now.
- So you're also saying it's my fault?
- I'm not saying that.
Huh. Maybe coming
to Cape Town was a mistake.
Hey, no. No.
Look, you just got here.
Just chill, okay.
Thanks.
Bye.

My parents are traffickers.
Yeah, but you're nothing like them, man.
Listen, um, that song you sampled,
I tracked down
the owner's social media account.
Dude's ancient.
Some of his accounts are older
I still sampled shit
without his permission.
I sent an email
to the address I found on his account.
- It bounced. Dude's probably dead.
- Chris
But let's just make a little bit of paper
and we'll pay him afterwards.
"Let's"? What do you mean "Let's"?
"Let's!" I'm I'm your manager now.

You know, some of us aren't 100%.
Yeah. Any slower and I might
as well be sleeping in the pool.

Someone's bitter they lost again.
Seriously, quiet!

Fuck's sakes, chill.
Are we supposed to pretend
that you aren't getting your ass kicked

- Ms. Bhele!
Or is it Khumalo?
I said that's enough, guys!
Wendy, you didn't fail.
With all due respect, sir,
I am an A+ student,
so 65% is a fail.
Hmm.
As for you, Tahira,
you missed a whole page of the questions.
Not that it would have made
much of a difference,
judging from your other answers.
[sighs] It was an honest mistake, sir.
I can rewrite. Please.
[clicks tongue] Well,
that's between you and Mrs. Joffe.

If that's all
[Puleng and Iván moan on video]
Okay, Iván didn't do this.
How could he record you from the door
when you're clearly on top of him?
- I think we should tell Thandeka.
- No.
It'll break her.
I just need to find the original video
and delete it, forever.
I mean, who'd wanna do this to me anyway?
[brooding music plays]
- [Lisbeth] This isn't over.
- [Fikile] Dude?
- Puleng!
- [music fades]
[Puleng sighs]
Lisbeth.
Fiks, remember what she said?
"This isn't over"?
It's Point of Grace.
What about Point of Grace?
We just think they're still after me.
Hey, can can I ask you
something sensitive?
Do you remember anything
about your time being captive?
Did you take any names maybe?
That shit's in the past.
It's just, we can't exactly say why,
but we think Point of Grace
or Lisbeth might still be after Puleng.
- [Puleng] Anything, Sam.
- No.
Well, could you ask your mom
if she knows anything?
Fuck, Puleng! I don't remember anything.
And my mom said
everything she knows in court.
- Maybe we should go see Lisbeth.
- No!
Okay, then how else
are we going to find out?
[moaning on video]
We've done a thorough job
of debriefing Vaans
and getting him to name
all the players in the syndicate.
No offense, Detective,
but you, of all people, should know
that you can't take things at face value.
I know Vaans betrayed you.
He betrayed me too.
Thank you for coming to me with this.
It is essentially child pornography,
and we take that very seriously.
Child pornography, human trafficking
Look, I didn't want to alarm you,
because we are on it.
But Vaans is missing.
His trial is supposed to be next week.
[sinister growling music plays]
Do you think that maybe
I think we shouldn't jump
to any conclusions yet.
I'll contact you
when we have more information.
Puleng, have you told
your mother about this?
- Is everything ok
- Everything's fine, Detective.
Thanks.
[Puleng] Please let me go.
Please. Please, just let me go.
Where am I?
Please, please!
No!
[keyboard app clicking]
Trust me on this one, we really need this.
- Please?
- [KB sighs]
I need you to understand
that I don't want to see my parents, dude.
Yeah.
[upbeat pop music plays]
[Wendy] Mom freaked out
and booked me extra lessons.
And yeah, I get it, English is
the first mark that they look at,
but I'm sorry for standing you up.
No worries. Look, Wendy,
even if I do well
in my final English paper,
I'm not sure that it's enough
for that scholarship next year.
Let's see
what the career counselor says first.
- Yeah. Hey, Leigh-Anne.
- Oh, hey!
[Wendy] And suddenly,
staying at school doesn't sound so bad.
- Haters.
- [Tahira] I'll chat to you later, okay?
[Wendy] Bye.
[clears throat] Just some thoughts
on stories I want to cover.
But I'll explain everything to you
in the magazine meeting tomorrow.

- It's the career counselor's office.
[Leigh-Anne] Hmm?
Oh, uh, thanks, Leigh-Anne.
Sorry, I'll I'll get
to this later. Okay?
Okay.
[sighs]
[sighs dejectedly]
Oh.
[Puleng] Sam's going
through a lot right now, Fiks.
[Fikile] Hmm.
I mean, we all are.
Maybe we should just chill on him a bit.
I get it. I just wish
he would open up to me, you know?
Have you spoken to KB?
Yep. He's not ready
to see his parents, dude.
Matla and Lisbeth will not go
anywhere near us if KB's not there.
Do you think maybe we should go anyway?
Go where?
Oh just some school thing.
Okay, well, you'll talk about that later.
Come, let's play.
- [softly] Let's go play.
- Ready?
- [Fikile] Oh!
- [Thandeka] Hi!
I thought it was just the four of us.
Yeah. Uh, sorry. He reached out,
and I thought it'd be great
for you guys to spend time together.
We can play doubles, you know,
with an extra substitute.
- You can go first.
- No.
[inaudible]
[tender music plays]
- [Fikile] Glad you came.
- Yeah.

- What about IEB papers?

Those are hard copies,

- [Pauline] So?
- So
They keep them in sealed boxes
in a hardcore safe.
Not a lot of people
have access to that kind of shit.
[Pauline] Fine.
[man] Good luck.
Pleasure doing business
with you lazy fucks.
Um, so, I saw the video of you and Fiks.
Look, Fikile is your senior, Asanda.
You can't speak to her like that.
And she shouldn't speak to me like that,
senior or not.
Look, Fikile knows I'm better than her
at swimming, and she hates it.
People find me intimidating, Wade.
Can you handle that?
[sputtering] Uh The photo's done.
[ship's horn blows]
[tense ethereal music plays]
What did you tell Fiks?
I told her I was with Iván.
Hey, are you sure
that this is the right place?
Yeah.
But why here?
Looking for a lead, I guess.
And I was hoping
by bringing you back here,
you might remember more than you do now.
You know, maybe any names,
something that the police missed, or
- Sam, it's okay. We don't have to
- No.
I need this for me, too.
[woman] We're still waiting
on confirmation
from the male Correctional Center.
Look, KB, would you like to see
if your mother is receiving visitors?
No! No, um, just let me know
when you hear from Matla, please.
[woman] Okay.
Thank you.

[sighs heavily]
[man grunts] Hey!
[man yelling in pain]
[trafficker] I said on all fours
[in Xhosa] you dog!
[gasps]
- [in English] Anything?
- This was a mistake.
Please, Sam.
- I know it's hard, but we need this.
- [footsteps running]
- Why is everything so
- [Sam gasps]
Sam!
[dramatic music plays]
[boy grunts]
[Sam groans]
[Puleng] Hey! Sam!
- [Sam grunts]
- [boy groans]
Who are you?! Huh?
- [Sam grunts]
- [Puleng] Sam, stop!
- He's so small. I I think he's a kid.
- [boy] Please!
[breath trembling] No!
[Puleng] I think he lives here.
He's just a kid, okay?
Are you okay?
Nice technique.
- It's not that deep?
- [screams]
- [Iván mimics whooshing]
- Ugh, no, man.
- Get that out of my face, please.
- [chuckles]
And also, aren't you supposed
to be meeting with Puleng?
Yeah. That's why I'm charging up.
Thank you for that.
[in Xhosa] Bhelekazi,
when were you going to tell me
you're competing again?
[in English] You said to me
you just wanted to be with the team.
Afternoon, Mr. Bhele.
I hope you're comfortable here.
It's just like being home.
[in Xhosa] Thank you.
[in English] Oh, good.
[Fikile chuckles]
I'll await you by the pool.
- Okay.
- Okay?
You know, Fikile,
I had to be informed by Thandeka.
Because she asked me to keep her posted
about some school swimming competition
[in Xhosa]that you entered.
[in English] No,
then Anthony must have told her.
- [in Xhosa] Anthony knows too?
- I was going to tell you.
When, Fikile?
[in English] How can you
be swimming competitively?
You're not healed, Bhelekazi.
My child, I saw you struggle
at practice just a while ago.
Well, the doctor said I can.
- So
- [phone chimes]
Actually, Tata,
can we talk about this later?
I just remembered I have study group, so
Eat.
I mean, how is she supposed
to know what "rizz" means?
[guests laugh]
I don't even know
what "rizz" means. [laughs]
Gillian, I have a question for you.
Did your mother know who you were
[Wade chuckles]
[phone vibrates and chimes]
[chimes]
S-She liked my comment.
[Wade giggles]
[upbeat music plays on speakers]
So, I see you and Wendy
are best friends now.
Why don't you ask your girlfriend, Chris?
Is this because I stood you up?
[scoffs] Get over yourself.
Hey, hey!
Lunga, I didn't intend to do this, okay?
- Wendy arrived
- I don't care, Chris.
Okay? It's chill.
Besides, I mean,
you were just potential ass.
[Lunga chuckles dryly]
Wendy, on the other hand,
I can see myself being friends with her,
seeing how messed up it's got you.
[tense ethereal music plays]
I'm guessing he's too embarrassed to show.
[door opens]
[Matla] Karabo.
[menacing music plays]
[in Sotho] Son, it's so good to see you
We are here because we want to find out
if you and Mom are up to your old tricks.
[in English] And here I thought
it was going to be a cordial visit.
I've been receiving
threatening messages and videos,
and I guess we're all here to find out
if Point of Grace has anything
Aren't you just tired
of playing investigator?
Please just answer the question.
[Matla] That doesn't sound
like Point of Grace.
Well, did you know
that Detective Vaans disappeared?
Do you blame him?
He's probably skipped the country.
What about Lisbeth, Uncle Matla?
How can she do anything
when she's recovering in hospital?
She was attacked by some prison thugs.
It was a failed assassination.
But when Point of Grace strikes,
you won't be confused.
You kids need to stop playing adult.
As you know, it has consequences!
[scoffs]
[Fikile] Hey.
Son, thank Chris for me
for letting you stay with him.
[musical arrangement turns tender]
Karabo.
KB
- Karabo, please.
- Please what, Matla?
[in Sotho] What can you possibly have
to say to me?
What?
[in English] I'm sorry, son.
I'm sorry.
[tense ethereal music continues playing]
[phone beeps]
Come talk to the sergeant.
[in Afrikaans] Yes, I'm coming now.
[Puleng in English]
Good evening, Det. Peterson.
We've managed to track down
some info on the anonymous account.
Unfortunately, nothing concrete,
as the IP keeps hopping around the world.
Oh. What does that mean?
Whoever's sending you
these messages and that video link
doesn't want to be found.
Their tactics aren't making sense.
I think there's a reason
they're not coming after you in person.
Puleng, stay alert and be safe.
[phone beeps]
What is it?
- [Puleng] Nothing.
- Nothing.
[Puleng sighs]
- Ma, why are we taking this route?
- [phone chimes]
[Thandeka] Ugh, I think
I took the wrong turn.
Puleng, are you okay?
[phone chimes]
Puleng.
[music intensifies]
- Puleng!
- [Siya] Ma!
- [tires screech]
- [all exclaim]
[tires screeching]
- [Thandeka screams]
- [horn honks]
Oh my God! You kids okay? Siya, you okay?
[man] Idiot!
["Friends" by OB Magik plays]
[phone chimes]
[therapist] Fikile, I'm really very proud
of how much you've progressed.
- Which is why I think
- [phone chimes]
we've come to our last session.
Of course, we'll touch base
in six months or so.
But you, my girl,
are ready for your new story.
What the fuck?
[phone chimes]
Hmm?
