I bet you it's Chris in that video. He's the rizz.
With that prude by his side?
Hey.
- Hey. - How's it going?
You wanna know what I do when I'm stressed?
What?
Hey.
Stop!
Let's go have some fun.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Wait.
You saw how easily I can hack into your life, Puleng.
You're not the only one I have on my hook.
But next time I won't be so kind, and the whole world will see your face.
Is that the...
You need to start stepping up. So play along now.
Start with the name Gregory Dickson.
What are you smiling about? - Are you the porn star?
The suspense is killing us.
Asanda, back in the water.
Crazy.
Miss Bhele, you're late. You have a gala coming up.
Sorry, Coach.
Swimming is not just about speed.
It's about putting as much distance between you and the rest
with a good start.
Where were you?
Fiks? Fiks!
- Hmm? - Is everything all right?
Mmm. Yeah. Fine.
You just look a little distracted.
I'm good.
Promise.
Don't lean against the walls.
All right, I want you to, uh, make photocopies of these,
ten of them, bound, not stapled.
You can use the library photocopy machine.
But, sir, shouldn't the secretary be doing this?
♪ Don't know when or where ♪
♪ 'Cause there's nowhere we gotta be ♪
So then, what are we going to do?
We need someone on the inside.
- How about Van Wyk? He's a pothead. - Hmm.
Have you seen Miss Miller's jalopy? She needs the money.
If every one of your brain cells were dynamite,
it still wouldn't be enough to blow your head off.
Anyway, no teachers.
I agree.
- Miss Kahn. - Sir?
Mmm.
Oh!
Sorry, sir.
Asshole.
Come on, man. You've gotta start taking your music seriously.
I'm going to book a photo shoot for the EP.
EP? You're moving too fast, bro.
Bro, if almost getting shot taught me anything,
it's that life's too short.
Okay, how about you focus on other things,
like your schoolwork and, you know, shit like that?
Whoa, whoa! What? Bro, why are you-- Why are you fighting me on this?
You know why, dawg.
Is this about your parents, or is something else bugging you?
Chris?
KB.
What are you going to do about this sex video post?
- You've been implicated. - KB!
Some are saying it's our video.
Really? Obviously it's not us,
but it could be tonight.
I can't. I already asked Tahira to study with me.
You can join us.
- Uh, no, thank you. - Please!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Okay.
- Mmm! - Mmm.
Nothing wrong with that.
Psst, Puleng.
- Psst, Puleng! - Hmm?
Is this creepy?
Let me see. No.
Creepy?
Mmm, yes.
You just liked a bunch of old-ass posts. You look like a stalker.
Well, at least I didn't record myself having sex at a party.
- Whoever did that was super creepy. - You're talking about that video?
Yeah. I was just telling Chris that he--
Hey, Chris, you have cameras at your house?
Mmm.
- Would you mind if I look at the footage? - Why?
'Cause I-- I lost my earphones.
You lost your earphones?
So you want me to search through all of that footage
because you lost a pair of ten-rand earphones?
What's so special about those earphones?
Um, she's asking for me.
I lost my lens.
Aw, bummer.
I switched off the cameras. I'm not a creep.
And I know what goes down at my parties, okay?
Oh, by the way, I need you to take some photos of KB for his EP.
Yes!
Hey!
- Hello. - Hi.
Sorry. I just-- I just wanted to talk
about, uh, the old post that I-- that I liked of yours.
- Yeah? - Lo-Lovely photo.
But-- But that-- that was-- that was an accident.
So you weren't stalking me?
S-Stalking? N-No! No, no.
No, not at all. No!
So you don't like my pictures?
No, I do. I-- I love your photos.
That's why I sent the--
I just didn't want to show you that I-- I do.
So you like me but don't wanna show me that you like me?
I do! I d-- That too. I want to--
What do you want to show me, Wade Daniels?
Um...
Start with the name Gregory Dickson.
Who the hell is Gregory Dickson?
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out. No.
That's exactly what this guy wants you to do, Puleng.
If you do his bidding now, who's to say what else he'll want?
Yeah, maybe Fiks is right.
We don't know who he is, and he could be dangerous.
And what about the sex tape? We don't want it out there.
Okay. Say you do what he says, what then? That creep is still gonna have your tape.
Right?
You can buy some time.
Pretend to look for this Gregory Dickson.
But, Puleng, you have to find this creep and get that tape.
I'll help you.
We all will. Right?
Are you sure I can't help you with your bag?
I think I'm good. Thank you.
Okay.
Oh, and that's your mommy.
I've gotta go.
Uh... Mmm.
Who was that?
Just a classmate.
Coach says you're struggling with your dive.
Didn't we speak about this, Asanda?
I'm trying. Make sure you do.
Nobody gets where we are by being mediocre.
♪ I know you still remember ♪
♪ You were the one Who let me go, remember? ♪
Hey, Fiks.
Listen, don't worry about Asanda and the swimming gala.
You don't have to prove anything.
Yeah.
Why do you think that guy is so obsessed with Gregory Dickson anyways?
Does it matter?

I'm sorry.
I'm here, Sam.
Talk to me.
I'm not ready.
I just want you to get better.
Then don't rush me to do something I'm not ready to do.
Oh.
Ah, Fiks.
It's late.
- We were just practicing for the gala. - Oh, Bhelekazi.
No, Tata! I'm swimming, and that's that.
Thandeka and Anthony are coming, so please be there.
Whoa! Puleng!
I'm sorry, okay? You did good today.
Just keep practicing every day,
and you'll pass your driver's test, no problem.
You did well today.
Hey, Puleng!
Hey, Lunga.
Player, player.
Let me know when you guys are done. I'll park it for you.
Yeah.
She really wants to forget him.
Nah, it's not-- it's not that.
She...
Si-- Siya--
It's you. It's you in the video, isn't it?
I didn't watch it, but you've been acting so strange lately.
- But who's the guy? KB? - I just want to find out who recorded us.
- What? - No, nothing.
I'm-- I'm just being paranoid.
Okay.
Um... so when you were kidnapped, we looked through everyone's social media posts,
to see who accidentally recorded the kidnapper. We can do the same now.
I don't know if it's possible to look through everyone's social media.
Yeah, I know. But we won't need to look
through everyone's social media posts, just one person's.
Leigh-Anne. Yeah, she posts about everything.
Bhelekazi, hurry up. We're gonna be late.
Mmm. I thought you were catching a lift with us.
No, I've made other arrangements.
Oh.
See you later, sir.
Okay.
Bhelekazi!
Good morning, brother. - Morning.
Is Fikile around?
Morning.
Sorry, Tata. I forgot to tell you that I'm riding with Anthony this morning.
Have a good day. Yeah?
Morning. It's open. - Hey. Cool.
Sorry I'm late. - No worries. I was late too.
The traffic to this place is crazy.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah. Of course. - Do you have any regrets?
'Cause... I've been thinking...
I have this friend who saw something really, really bad.
He could get into a lot of trouble if he spoke about it now.
Your friend, did he-- did he do this bad thing?
No.
Sometimes we carry the weight of other people's luggage
as if it's our own.
And it can cause all kinds of problems.
So, your friend,
whatever he knows,
it's not his problem if he didn't cause it.
Oh, and, um, do I have any regrets?
Missing 18 years of life with you is one of them.
Can't find anything.
Yeah, me either.
Leigh-Anne just posted selfies from the party. There's no videos.
What if we ask her to maybe--
No! We can't risk her finding out that it's me in the video.
Y-Yes. We'll figure that out.
Check you later? Yeah, check you later.
Hey, what are you watching Fikile for?
Hey. I'm trying to get better at my diving,
and she's the only one that's better at it than me, so...
Okay, so why don't you just ask her?
Um, babes, she literally hates my guts.
Just be nice. Like, how you are with me.
I'll try.
Where are you?
- Fiks! - Not now, Sam.
- We need a business plan-- - Can we chat?
I'm busy right now. Can I ignore you another time?
- I need to find someone. - Google is your friend.
Pauline, please, man. I'll pay you.
Well, now that you've asked so nicely...
Gregory Dickson. He's disappeared from socials. Find him.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Hey! Good lap times this morning.
What do you want, Asanda?
The other day and every day this week, you have been faster than me.
I need you to show me how.
Wow.
I promise to lay off the insults.
At least for now.
Right.
When you graduate, you can say
that you taught this bad bitch how to swim and dive.
Wow, this is funny.
Fiks, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be that way with you.
It's just sometimes it feels like it's the only way.
I wish there was an easier way to pass the exams, like using a bot.
That's cheating.
Well, if you could pass the exams...
...without having to study,
would you do it?
- Yes! - Yes?
I mean, yes...
I got my provisional acceptance into WITS, even with my bad prelims.
Wends! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you.
Thank you. I need to find Chris.
- What's up? You good? - Mm.
♪ No meaning, soaked in this feeling... ♪
What's going on, Fiks?
Is everything okay between you and Sam?
Look, um, whatever it is, I'm sure he really is sorry.
The guy really digs you, fam.
I know.
I've been such an ass.
Yo! Yo! KB.
- What's up? - You good?
- I'm good, man. - Yeah, I'm good, man.
Hey.
Are we good?
Mm-hmm.
How're you holding up these days? - Surviving.
You?
It's been difficult. Uh, Fikile says this is Puleng's.
She must have left it at our house.
Kids.
I think she's pushing herself too hard with her swimming.
I think it's her way...
...of avoiding the trauma of the past two years.
In the past, Nwabisa would step in.
But now...
Now, I was wondering, uh,
wena, you are her biological mother.
And Anthony seems to be encouraging Fikile.
And I understand he wants to be a cool dad,
but he's not thinking things through.
She could get badly hurt.
I don't want to lose her.
Oh!
What are you doing?
Think about it. It's not like Leigh-Anne to not post any videos at a party.
We need to check her phone.
- Oh, jeez! - Yeah.
I've really corrupted you.
- Oh-- - Look at you becoming a detective.
Okay, well, go. Distract her.
- Me? - Yes, you!
O-O-Okay. Yeah.
Okay. Go!
Aweh, Leigh-Anne? You all right?
Yeah, cool. Look here, um...
Can I maybe see your science homework?
- Science? - Science, yeah.
I'm struggling a bit there, 'cause I'm a bit behind.
Sorry. Just getting a phone call.
But you can keep it out, nê, because I need that science.
See you.
Done.
Hi.
So...
Did you tell anyone about us?
Uh, n-n-n-no. No. Why?
I just think it would be cute if it was, you know, our little secret.
KB has a gig tomorrow night, and I think we should go.
- We can, you know, make out in the toilet. - T-Toilet?
Oh, um...
Uh, um... - Wade?
I've got to go. See you later, yeah? Bye.
Hey, Leigh-Anne. Long time no see.
Look here.
Science.
No, you didn't hear me properly, man. I said, "Maths."
Yeah. M-A-T-H-S.
Wiskunde, or mathematics. You can call it that.
- Maths. - Maths.
Is that the time? I need to go!
But thank you.
Thank you anyway!
Good job.
Yeah. Hmm.
Hey, by the way...
I don't think Asanda's good for you.
W-What? What? Why?
Come on, Wade.
She's a bitch.
No, no, no. Asanda's just assertive.
Also, she's not the one with a sex tape.
- Puleng, I'm sorry. I just-- - It's fine.
With us in studio today, we've got the young, the talented KB!
And Chris, his manager.
Well, KB, the beat is dope, man.
Even Italian MC DYG gave a shout-out.
Ah, okay. Thanks, I appreciate that.
- KB and Chris are on the radio! - Shh! Shh.
Oh my God!
Well, let's go to the lines. Uh, caller, you are live.
Hey, yo! I just want to know,
why do we need to listen to a guy who claims to be straight up,
but his mom sits in jail for pinching little babies?
Ouch, KB.
What's your response to that?
You know, I think what the caller is missing
is that it-- it takes a lot of courage to carve a niche for yourself, you know?
And, I mean, sure, my parents are criminals,
but I won't let that define me,
and that's what the song is all about.
Well, fair enough.
And we have another caller. Caller, you're live.
Aweh. Dope track, KB.
If DYG is into it, you must be drowning in the cash.
Hey! You know what it is!
Hopefully soon, man.
Sure enough! But the beat sounds vaguely familiar though.
Where did you get your inspiration for it?
Um...
You know, my-- my music is-- is always inspired by my life.
Is it?
What's, uh-- What's up with these callers, eh?
So, what's next, Mr. KB's manager?
Uh, yeah. Well, um, KB's going to be performing
at a new venue, Vertigo, soon.
Ah, awesome! We'll give you guys those deets.
KB, Chris, thanks for joining us in studio today.
And of course, keep on listening to the hottest radio station in Cape Town.
Yo.
Huh?
Hey. Come on, man. That wasn't too bad, was it?
Hmm. So you're doing his dirty work
in exchange for a reference letter?
Just go to a printing shop.
I can't, Leigh-Anne. It's against the rules.
Who still worries about rules?
Just don't get caught.
Leigh-Anne!
- Wade, focus. - Yeah.
Did you find something?
The video, Wade! This is-- This is the video.
So she recorded it,
which means she's this-- this weird Anonymous person.
And it was with him?
Do you even know this guy, Puleng?
- I'm gonna kill her, Wade. - Hey, hey!
Hey.
What? Relax.
Okay, we have to think about this clearly.
Just-- Just breathe, Puleng, okay?
It's all going to be okay.
Hello!
Is this yours?
No, it's a rental.
My offer still stands.
Can't. I have therapy.
Therapy is for the birds.
Come on, let's go.
How are you?
I'm okay.
- Daddy? - Hey!
- What are you doing here? - I got half the day off.
So I thought I'd come pick you up and spoil you a bit.
Ah, no, man. That's not necessary.
I'd rather spend the money somewhere else. It's fine.
You've been working very hard, and you are going to be the first
of our family to go to university and make something of your life.
I'm so proud of you.
So, still no news on the prelim exam marks?
Nope.
You can't just announce a gig here at Vertigo on the radio.
Yo, I thought-- I thought you had this arranged.
- They're not even busy tomorrow. - Chris, that's beside the point.
Lunga, are you breaking my balls because of what happened?
Grow up.
Okay. Look, Lunga, we really need this, bro.
The fans are super excited, and I don't want to let them down.
- Can you please make it happen? - Look, I'll-- I'll see what I can do.
Thanks, dawg.
You looked a bit shaken today.
Didn't you say therapy's for the birds?
So why are you in my head?
No, I'm not. I'm-- I'm just...
And stop trying to make me feel.
We both know what this is, huh?

Stop smiling. Give me a mean face.
Yeah, yeah. Okay. Wade, get this.
Okay, drop your knees a little bit. Not your hands, your knees, yeah?
Okay. Go down.
- Hey. Hey! - Hi.
Hey.
Uh, so, about tonight...
You have a gig, yeah. I know. It's not the reason...
It's, um-- I-- They don't want to make a big deal out of it just in case we fail,
but I really want to be KB's music manager.
You want to manage KB?
Are you serious? I thought you were trying to get your marks back on track.
Chris saying one thing and then doing another?
That's so unlike him.
Listen, with everything that happened with KB's parents,
and Fiks getting shot,
I've just been spending a lot of time thinking about what I really want.
So you want to manage KB now, while you're at school?
I can do both.
Okay. Well, that's not the reason I wanted to talk to you. Look.
- Wendy! - I--
Oh!
Now that girl, my friend, has nothing to hide.
Wade, thank you for the pics. Just send them to me, all right?
- Appreciate it, bro. Got you. - Yeah.

She's not a model.
I'm molding her from memory.
Brian is, uh, concerned about Fikile.
He thinks you're pushing her towards another injury.
Oh, really? What do you mean?
- Her swimming. - She wants to swim. What's the big deal?
- Yes, but he is her father. - I don't know anything about parenting?
- You don't. - And whose fault is that?
Okay, fine.
I'll ease up.
Thank you.
Look, Puleng, we can't stay long.
I have to be somewhere. You said you're not gonna cause problems.
- I don't know why we're here. - I won't, okay?
It won't take long.
Shit, my battery's flat.

Look, Leigh-Anne. You better tell us the truth, or else you're going to jail.
It's not me. I-- I'm not the one blackmailing you.
