The exams are starting this week.
Exams are only for matrics, Ma.
Oh.
No phones at the table.
Look at your phone.
Phone.
Ma.
Dude, that's crazy. - Hey. What's up?
Dude, I think the celeb status has gone to Puleng's head.
She's doing sex tapes now.
Shit.
You should go check on Puleng.
Yeah.
There's money coming in from the sales, but not enough yet.
I mean, selling to other schools helps. At R500 a pop, we just need 600 kids.
Yeah. Yeah, but he wants it today.
- That's the problem. - Well, fuck it. Stall him.
- You know he doesn't fuck with that, bro. - Just message him please.
Awesome. We have until tomorrow. You have until tomorrow for what?
We, uh-- We--
We're talking about, uh, KB's song not getting enough traction.
We need a new marketing strategy by tomorrow.
Okay.
What?
No, this-- this can't be Puleng.
The school should have systems in place to protect our children from cyberbullying.
It's not really a Parkhurst matter. It happened online.
It was posted on the school's magazine website!
You're the principal. Didn't you say you'd turn things around at the school?
If you can't do anything about it, I'm getting the police involved.
No. I'll investigate.
Hey, off your phone. You need to be more serious in class.
The final exams are upon us.
Hey. Dude.
Act normal.
This is normal.
♪ Look away, look away, look away... ♪
Hey! I said off your phone.
♪ Look away ♪
Tahira Kahn, to my office, please.
- I heard someone's selling exam papers. - We should definitely get our hands on it.
- Hi. - Hi. Do you want to come with me?
...it's literally the worst.
Ugh. Loser alert.
You shouldn't have come.
I'm sorry. I'll see you later.
Good day, Mrs. Khumalo. We will be in touch.
- Hey. - Hey.
You wanted to see me, sir?
You'll be speaking to the matrics at assembly.
- But we don't have one today. - We do now.
Uh, I'm not quite sure what--
Part of your responsibility is to be a role model for your fellow students.
You will speak to the student body about integrity. Keep it short.
It'll be good if it's coming from one of the learners.
♪ I can change... ♪
I don't have much faith in Mr. Grootboom.
Ma, please, just-- Just stop, okay?
You're making it worse.
In a few years, everyone will forget about this.
Okay.
See you later.
It has been brought to my attention that there is a video
making the rounds at the school. We will be conducting an investigation.
Quiet.
Parkhurst has a reputation to uphold, and we will be taking this matter--
Quiet!
As a result, mobile phones will no longer be permitted in class.
I will now hand you over to Miss Kahn.
"Integrity." A simple word that means so much.
What is success without integrity?
Nothing.
We live in a world where the end justifies the means.
We search for instant gratification.
But at what cost?
So to the matrics,
good luck with the exams starting today.
I hope that we may lead with integrity,
and find the courage of our conviction
to always do what is right.

It's going to be all right. Yeah?
It'll pass.

Hey.
Trust me, everyone is going to forget eventually.
I would know. Remember mine?
I think you're not in high school
if you haven't been in at least one humiliating video.
He can't hurt you anymore.
Okay?
He says he didn't do it.
- That it must have been someone else. - Someone else?
He's lying, clearly. Like, he's literally the only one who could have done it.
Yeah.
If he thinks I'm just gonna roll over and take this,
then he has another thing coming.
No. Just...
Let it go.
Please, just let it go.
Everything's gonna be fine, okay?
Yeah.
Hey. Um, so I found out that the video was sent
from the Magazine Society's computer here at Parkhurst, actually.
Wasn't it just PoolBoy hacking the system? Can't he do that?
Y-Yeah, but then the janitor told me that he actually heard someone
lurking around during that time.
M-Maybe it was him.
No, it wasn't.
- Hey! Leigh-Anne! It was you, right? - What the fuck?
You think it's funny to fuck around with my life?
It wasn't me!
Puleng! It wasn't--
I swear to God I'll--
You think this is a game?
- Puleng, I didn't-- - Hey! Hey! Puleng!
- Puleng! - Puleng, stop!
Let go of me. I'm fine!
Puleng, no! No!
Hey! Leave me.
Please, I didn't do it.
- Brian is right. - Thandeka, hold on a second.
The last time I checked, Fikile was fine. He owes me an apology.
Don't drive a wedge between your daughter and her father.
- I'm her father! - Then act like you are.
Because right now, you're just making her unhappy.
So you can decide to stay stubborn.
Or you can have a relationship with Fikile.
- It's hard enough for her having two dads. - Oh, really?
- Now you know the story of my life. - What's that mean?
Why didn't you return after we spent the night together?
Huh? I just want to know, Thandeka.
What difference would it make? - What, that you were married or that--
Or that I was in love with you?
Thandeka. Thandeka, you thought it was just a one-night stand?
I can't do this with you right now, Tony.
You can't? Or you won't?
My daughter's most intimate moment is plastered all over the Internet.
I don't have the energy to argue with you right now.
Wait, I'm not trying to argue with you. What are you--
I ju-- just can't do this, Tony. I can't.
Thandeka, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, hey.
Look at me, look at me.
I don't know what you're talking about. But whatever it is, it's going to be okay.
It's going to be fine.
It's Puleng.
Yes, but-- Thandeka.
Let go of me. I'm fine!
Puleng, no! Puleng!
I swear to God, I'll fucking kill you, Leigh-Anne!
It wasn't me!
Puleng, I swear, I didn't do anything!
Puleng!
Fortunately, Miss Valentine won't be pressing charges.
It won't happen again. Uh, Puleng is seeing her therapist today.
I'll make sure of that.
And, to be clear...
my daughter is the one being bullied here.
Isn't it, Puleng?
Puleng?
Is Leigh-Anne the one who recorded you?
I don't know.

Why does life have to be so complicated?
Chris lied to me, and he thinks I forced him into it.
Phew! Well, that-- that sounds like gaslighting to me.
You think so?
You know, he's been making a lot of decisions that are...
Ah, you know what? Never mind.
What would you do if you found out someone's cheating?
What do you mean by cheating? As in...
...sleeping around? - No. Exam cheating.
Who?
I just need your advice. I don't know what to do.
Well, what is there to do?
I can't let them get away with it. It's not fair, Tahira.
We've been sitting here for weeks, studying,
and they get a free pass because they bought exam papers?
Do you have any idea as to who might be selling the papers?
No.
Well, then just let it be, Wendy. There's no need to get anyone in trouble.
Like you said, the end does not justify the means.
Yeah, but life's not all black and white, right?
Like you said, it's complicated.
You know, maybe this is why Chris lies to you all the time.
Jeez!
Since when do you think like that?
People change, Wendy.
Hey.
You all right?
- I don't know why I snapped like that. - Yeah, Puleng, you could've killed her.
- I'm sorry. Okay? - Don't say sorry to me.
Well, I'm not apologizing to her. She deserved it, Wade.
Plus, I've been wanting to slap her for the longest time.
It felt good.
I still don't think Leigh-Anne did it.
I mean, she-- she has nothing to gain in it.
What if this PoolBoy wants us to believe that it's Leigh-Anne?
He doesn't, actually.
I've been going through the file.
Something about this Gregory Dickson guy isn't adding up.
You were here during this time, right?
Yeah.
Do you remember anything from that time?
Puleng, I don't remember what I had for supper last night.
You expect me to remember something from 2019?
What's up with the attitude?
Just... stuff.
Come on, Wade, think.
I'll check my brain extension.
"PoolBoy." Maybe this has something to do with it.
That-- That's a near-drowning incident. You think Gregory Dickson almost drowned?
I don't know. But I want to find out.
- You're selling papers now? - What are you smoking?
Well, who's selling the papers?
Listen, don't act dumb, okay?
You guys are messing with my university career.
Fuck you on about uni for? Who even cares about that?
'Cause we don't. Fuck that, and fuck you.
This was a mistake.
Sir, there's something I need to tell you.
Shit!
Shit, shit, shit, shit!
Someone stole the exam papers? Yes, sir.
- Who? - I don't know.
- Did you witness it? - No, sir.
Someone told you about it?
No, sir, but I overheard some students talking about it.
Could you point them out to me?
I couldn't see their faces, but I heard them talk about it.
We need to talk. - I thought you don't mingle with our kind.
We need to talk now.
"Swimming gold medalist."
"Student was drunk."
-"Won't be returning to school." - No names?
No. They said they were all underage, so they can't reveal their identities.
Shit.
Why don't you ask someone else
who was also at the school during that time,
or more specifically, on the swimming team?
- Fiks? - Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea. Let me try to call her.
Oh.
- Hey, can you do me a favor? - Mm-hmm.
Do you mind asking your mom if she knows anything about this?
Yeah, sure.
Hey. Has anyone seen Fiks?
Uh, that's weird. She was just here.
Let's talk about your behavior today.
There's nothing to talk about.
And strangling a fellow student doesn't qualify?
Why did you do it, Puleng?
Because she made me angry, and she deserved it.
You know, I thought that telling your mother about the tape set you free.
You reacted very strongly.
Get off of me!
I swear to God, I'll fucking kill you.
I felt like I was on the ship again.
I felt powerless and-- and trapped.
I don't like feeling that way.
Like when your father died?
My dad has got nothing to do with this.
I think you're wrong.
You're so angry, but with who?
Who are you so angry at, Puleng?

Would you tell the truth?
The truth sets the heart free.
Actually, um...
can you please take me to Anthony tomorrow?
Am I not allowed to see Anthony?
No, I don't have a problem with him.
My only responsibility is to make sure that you're happy and safe.
Whenever you're with Anthony, you go a bit crazy.
It's fine. - Fikile.
I won't go.
- Bhelekazi. - Goodnight, Tata.
Uh, Mummy, do you maybe remember something about a near-drowning incident,
a student, few years ago?
Mummy was still, uh, principal at Parkhurst.
It was a student that went swimming when he was drunk.
Mummy maybe remember a name?
Goodness. I can't, actually.
Why do you bring it up?
Um, no, I just heard some-- some kids
talking about it at school. Thought I'd ask.
Oh, by the way, um, an Asanda called the house today.
Asanda. She can call, it's all right.
Well, she seemed very desperate to talk to you.
She wanted to know if you want to go to the beach.
Are you and Asanda together?
Uh, um...
Okay.
Uh...
Do the two of you...
Are you and Asanda...
Are we what?
Are you using protection, Wade?
Yes?
SPF 30, Mummy.
Once you're finished with the photocopies,
I'll need you to file the documents by tomorrow morning.
If you don't need anything else, sir, then I'll be on my way.
Before you go,
send me the results of all the matrics from grade eight to matric.
Yes, sir.
The exam papers have been leaked.
It seems as though someone used my photocopier code during the gala.
Miss Zwane is the only person who had access,
so she's been suspended.
When I find all the students that got their hands on that exam paper,
I will report them to the department, and they can kiss their futures goodbye.
You may go, Miss Kahn.
Oh, and Miss Kahn?
This stays between the two of us for now.
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
It's not your fault, dear.
You told Grootboom?
It's the right thing to do.
Wendy, you've just ruined those kids' lives.
Yeah, but they should have thought about it before they cheated, right?
Right?
Tahira!
Forget about the rumors. No one's been found out.
I want my money back, or I'mma tell Grootboom
you were selling the papers.
Just-- Just give him his fucking money back, bro.
Happy?
- Yes. - Yeah, now fuck off.
Well, we're hemorrhaging through the cash.
We're meeting Ruff Beats later today. We're gonna have fuck all left.

Hey, guys. Hey.
Sorry to bother you, but, um, do you remember a near-drowning incident
that happened at the school?
It was around the same time that you won your debate competition in 2019.
Yeah, we even sent him a get-well-soon card.
But I found the whole thing dodgy.
In what way?
Damian was super focused.
If he wasn't swimming, he was at the library.
I always thought he and Tahira would make a cute couple.
Sorry, huh?
Did you say Damian? I was talking about Gregory Dickson.
No, that was the swim captain.
He didn't drown. It was definitely Damian.
Hey. Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.
Why haven't you answered my messages?
Oh, uh, my phone died. Sorry.
So, I think I might have figured out what this whole PoolBoy thing is about.
- I thought you were letting it go. - No.
It has something to do with that student who nearly drowned, Damian.
Supposedly, he was drunk at school,
but I heard something different from Wendy and Tahira.
- Are you okay? - Yeah. Um, what did they tell you exactly?
That he didn't drink.
Do you know if he was by himself when he almost drowned?
Yes?
No, nothing. I'm sorry.
Do you remember anything that happened in 2019 around that event?
No, I don't know. It must have been before I joined the swimming team.
- So you've never met Gregory or Damian? - I really don't remember.
I-- I have to go, guys.
So, why would a near-drowning incident report
about Damian be in Gregory's file?
Yeah, at this point, one plus one equals three.
Um, where can we find pictures of Gregory?
- Or Damian maybe? - Um...
The photography club normally has negatives
of all the teams and classes. We keep them in the dark room.
All right, let's go.
Listen, I'm thinking let's go for a treat.
- Maybe get some ice cream? - Um, you can go ahead.
I'm gonna keep going.
Fiks. Fiks!
Fiks!
What?!
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
It's fine, Sam. You want to go for ice cream? Let's go.
I thought you guys would have bailed by now.
We'd never do that, sir.
So? Where's my money?
Oh.
Gotta love technology.
All right, uh, I think, uh--
I think we should be getting back to class, so...
What is this?
Don't they teach you how to count at this fancy school of yours?
Look, man, we-- we'll-- we'll come up with the rest.
We promise.
I have a better idea.
Another one.
Okay. What's up with you?

- Why, Wade? - Must we do this here?
I don't see why not. You seem to be spending all your time with her lately.
- So... - Guys, I have a genuine crisis, okay?
So if you're worried about Wade untagging you in some stupid photo,
then please...
It's not a stupid photo. And by the way, I found it.
What?
Wait. I have an idea.
Th-There it is.
What?
So, what is it about Puleng that doesn't make you acknowledge
our relationship, hmm?
Nothing, but I mean, why is she even in the front seat?
Guys, please.
So the incident report in Gregory's file
is about a student who nearly drowned, Damian.
I think that Gregory Dickson had a hand in it,
or he was there when it happened.
This is the mystery that PoolBoy wanted me to uncover.
PoolBoy is Damian.
Yeah.
But why does he want me to uncover something that he knows already?
Maybe he tried himself, and no one listened.
Anyways, why are you even trying to fix something that's not broken?
We're fine as we are.
Fine? But you don't want to be seen with me in public.
Are you ashamed of me?
Look, I'm just gonna drop you off at home, okay?
Absolutely not.
I found the picture. I'm useful. I'm staying.
Look, if you don't think I'm cool enough or whatever,
then maybe we must reevaluate this whole relationship thing.
Wade!
Fiks lied about knowing Gregory and Damian.
Do you think she was part of the cover-up?
I don't know.
I mean, there's a reason PoolBoy wants me to uncover all of this.
He keeps saying that the truth is closer than I think.
I think Fiks had something to do with what happened.
Do you think that maybe she...
That maybe she what?
What's really going on, Fiks?
You've been acting very strange lately.
I just...
Hey, you okay?
Finally. I was starting to think
we backed the wrong player.
I know why you asked me to dig into it. It's about Fiks.
What did she do?
Doesn't matter anyway.
Because I'm done.
Whatever happened to you, whatever Fiks did to you
doesn't justify the sick shit that you do to people.
What you made Leigh-Anne do to me...
You don't deserve justice, so fuck off.
Careful, Puleng.
Or what?
What?
That's exactly what I thought.
Sam, there's something you should know.
I leaked Puleng's sex tape.
What?
Why?
She was gonna find out about the past, and I-- I just...
I just needed time to think and--
Please, don't-- Please, don't hurt us. Make it quick, guys.
Help me! Let's go!
- Fiks! - Let's go, let's go!
- Sam! - Fiks!
- Let's go, let's go! - Sam! Sam!
