Did you take a chopper out yesterday?
Yes, Dad, I did.
I sprayed the fields with toxin.
Did you spray all the fields?
Just field 8A.
He's still active?
The Coastal Sun editor, please.
I would like to officially confirm
that the cane field murders is a serial killer.
Reyka, you need to see this.
You find out where Portia is, I'll give you this map.
On it is Lucy's burial site.

Very good.
Look what's under the tree.
Happy Christmas!
You don't have to read it, my child.
You read it then.
Go on, read it!
Angus.
I'm Father Christmas, I said read the book!

God bless the Tyrone family for joining us here today.
Give them a round of applause
Ma, you remember Portia Maseko?
Speelman's co-conspirator.
I need to find her.
Why?
Angus promised to tell me where Lucy's buried.
She's in witness protection.
Well, you have contacts.
Are you serious?
Sandra Hasela's at the national prosecuting authority.
What do you want me to do, bribe the deputy director
of prosecution?
Well, you have a lot on her.
No, I'm not helping you with this.
Some things need to be left alone.
I'm trying, but I can't ma.
It's your past, you have so much to look forward to.
Forget it, ma, it's fine.
I want to know.
What happened with him?
Nothing.
Really?
Come on.
Nearly four years, he didn't touch you once?
No.
Reyka, I'm sorry.
I turned my head for a moment.
I'm sorry, I let you down.
I will never forgive myself for what happened that day,
but I, I need you to tell me.
I'm ready, okay?
I, I, I can handle this.
We can do this together
Did he rape you?
No ma.
Did he abuse you?
No, ma.
He looked after me, like a dad.
I was his favourite girl.
Do you still love him?
Suresh Pillay took the sample from one of your fields.
Yes, 8A.
The land's been poisoned.
This is from field 6C.
It's clean.
Brigadier.
Boss?
Nandi.
I found this at the deposition site.
Good, good work.
Let's see what Sewsunker can find tomorrow.
I forgot my phone in the office.
No fingerprints, the beer bottle's been wiped.
But we do have partial DNA to use as a match
if you get a suspect.
Okay.
Pillay is a suspect.
No match.
So there's nothing aside from the knots
that links Pillay to this case.
Pillay is not our guy.
You know the soil samples that you took from the field,
the ones he claimed had high levels of nitrogen?
He's right, someone's been trying to poison the Tyrone soil.
Maybe all these crimes are connected to the land.
Reyka, in my office.
"Antisocial and inexperienced with women"?
That's you?
Yes.
What were you thinking?
I want to provoke him.
Mission accomplished.
You realise you could provoke him into killing other
women?
No, that's not a trigger for him.
Who is he then?
A man of status, he lures women with a promise of work.
He charms them and wins their trust.
It started out as his own personal fantasy.
But now he's communicating with us.
He left a beer bottle at the crime scene for us to find.
He watches us, he's been watching us all along.
You're going to have to start trusting me.
How do I trust you when you disobey me?
I had to appeal to the public.
Young women need to avoid the cane fields.
I know, Reyka, what do we do?
We wait, and hopefully he reads the Coastal Sun.
DNA work on Niwanata Sitole please Alia.
Wait your turn, buddy.
I don't understand, it's gone.
What's gone?
Pillay's soil sample
Who has access?
No one, management.
Yeah, but you only got the results last night.
I know, Nandi, it's not here.
It'll turn up.
Serial killer details have been leaked to the press.
We have to contend with that.
The community is on the edge.
Expect an influx of calls in the station.
Right, eight victims, Mbali Msomi,
six unidentified, Niwanata Sitole.
Strong links between all eight cases.
Similar in terms of gender, race, age, and social class.
Serial killers usually hunt victims of their own race, so.
How can we work without a physical description?
Your psychological profile is guesswork.
Got a better idea, ace?
Evidence.
Well, we do have a bus ticket,
that gives us a timeline to establish Sitole's
movements after she arrived at the taxi rank.
Based on our victim's profiles
I'm pretty sure that our suspect is a black male,
mid twenties to late thirties,
of some status and authority, charming and trustworthy,
in all probability educated, formally or informally,
It's not clear yet.
We think he's comfortable in the cane field so he could have
worked as a cane cutter.
Skilled at tying knots.
Especially those of an Indian Naval influence.
He uses a homemade garrot taken from
the hems of victim's shirts.
Sewsunker, we need to set up a hotline.
He's trying to communicate with us.
All callers offering help should be viewed as suspects.
I'm on it.
Pillay's soil sample's gone missing,
An officer must have tampered with it.
Only case leads handle evidence, how could that happen?
And we have very strict rules on how to protect
the chain of evidence.
It was me.
What?
I wanted to test a hunch.
I signed it out and misplaced it.
Misplaced it?
When?
I only received it last night.
What hunch?
When we interviewed Pillay at his house,
I noticed a pile of soil in his garden.
I wanted to confirm that the toxic soil sample wasn't taken
from his garden, it wasn't.
Pillay is not your case.
You have violated procedure, Detective Zwane.
Get the sample back to the evidence room ASAP
or a complaint will be lodged against you.
Okay, we have two confirmed victim IDs,
Mbali's from KwaDukuza,
Niabina's from Richards Bay.
Tanner, get inside Mbali's life.
Find out if she knows anyone who could fit Reyka's profile.
Zwane, second with Tanner.
It's that, or unpaid suspension.
Have you arrested the man that killed my niece?
we've come to speak to her mother.
Why?
To learn more about Mbali, who she hung out with,
where she hung out.
She was a waitress at a place called Who's Fooling Who?
Did she have a boyfriend?
You sure about that, sir?
My partner's got no manners.
What he means to say is your niece Mbali,
maybe she kept some information from you.
Maybe there's someone in the house who could help
enlighten us.
Mbali was a beautiful girl.
Her mother, my sister wanted her to study
to become a doctor, but she was a wild one.
She got herself mixed up with this cockroach from inland,
Bazooka Butulese.
Do you know what they say?
They say that cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion.
But Bazooka
He's a dead man.
Sewsunker?
Yeah.
Samuel's name's not here.
Must be.
If he signed out the soil sample, where's his name?
Mbali do not come for her shifts sometimes.
So why didn't you just fire her?
Oh my man, this, this shipping is on the ship's land,
but the ship wants is what the ships get.
Do you know Bazooka Butulese?
That jealous dog used to come here sometimes.
Where does he live?
His family got into the betting business
by Nanda, Mbali broke his heart.
He went crazy.
She had many men.
Got names for these placers?
Oh, she comes from the royal family.
Hey, Sticks.
"Got a name?"
"Sure boss, here's a list of names."
What's your problem?
You.
What about me?
Entitled.
You're jealous.
Of you?
Mm hmm, got that big old chip on your shoulder.
Ah, Superman.
'Cause a certain lady wants me more than she wants you.
Ah.
Bazooka.
Zone two.
So, you a police now?
Mbali Msomi, you were her boyfriend?
She was all over the place, she had boyfriends
all over this town.
Yeah, but you were the jealous type,
stalked her at work and couldn't get over her.
Now you're talking bullshit, there's no such.
See, I was even ready
until her family begged me to stay
because they were worried about that placer of hers.
Wait, which placer?
Samuel Zwane
that incident [speaks in foreign language].
Who's the placer?
Samuel.
What the hell?
No, ma'am the killer does not have albinism.
Thank you, ma'am God bless you too,
Thank you ma'am.
Sorry, that's a bad line,
can you repeat that?
Reyka!
Who is this?
Sewsunker, sir.
What's your name?
Listen here, I don't like the way I've
been described in the newspaper.
"Antisocial and inexperienced with women."
I've had plenty wo-
Hello?
I'm Reyka Gama,
I didn't mean to offend you.
Who am I speaking to?
Hector, anonymous voice on the hotline,
caller quoted directly from our profile.
He buys The Coastal Sun?
He reads, Hector.
Have you started tracing the call?
On it.
Coastal Sun crime desk please.
Yes, I need a trace on all calls in the last five minutes.
His English was good, deep flat voice,
Nguni first language, his voice matches the age range.
The call was made between two towers,
we've got a number but phone's blocked,
GPS can't be tracked.
WiFi hotspot.
Sewsunker?
Search for cell phone stores near vendors
who sell The Coastal Sun.
Publish a new narrative profile in the late edition.
Adjust the phrase, "Antisocial and inexperienced"
to "At ease with women, they trust him."
Two vendors, sir.
He's out in the open, get Tanner, go.
Sewsunker, do we have anything on Pastor Zik?
Alia?
You tampered with my evidence.
Was my name in the evidence log?
You confessed.
I confessed, right.
Sometimes you need to take one for the team.
Pastor Zik's credit card statements
are linked to Mbali Msomi's pre paid phone card.
And her phone list shows at least five
phone calls made to a family planning clinic.
Mbali Msomi was pregnant.
Has anyone paid to use your phone today?
Yes, there was one guy on a bicycle.
We have solid evidence Mbali was pregnant
before she died.
What?
Family planning clinic confirmed she had an abortion
a month before she was killed.
The autopsy didn't pick it up.
It takes six weeks for signs of pregnancy to disappear.
How could we miss it?
The lower part of her body was brutalised by wild animals.
It seems very convenient.
Samuel, what are you trying to say to me?
Mbali's murder was not linked to the other victims.
Whoever killed Mbali had a personal relationship with her.
I want to accelerate DNA testing to prove that Pastor Zik
was the father of Mbali's baby.
They had a relationship, so what?
It's a serious connection Brigadier.
I know the law, but that doesn't mean Pastor Zik
is a killer.
Yes?
It's Bloom, have you found Portia?
Uh, yes.
My client wants to speak to you.
Set it up tonight.
I have eyes on suspect.
Black male, mid thirties,
he fits the profile.
Nandi, was he on a bike by any chance?
Affirmative, I repeat, suspect is on a bicycle.
Officers in pursuit, he's heading towards
zone five, on foot.
Hey!
On your knees.
Get on your knees.
Back, back.
I don't know
I did not entrap Pastor, Gogo.
One mistake.
You seem, uh.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
I am, I'm great.
Is it the serial case?
It's that, and-
What, family?
I know what it's like to raise a teenage daughter.
No, you really don't.
I take it you still want to know what happened to Lucy?
I do.
Ho, ho, ho, here we go.
Stop it Angus.
That first Christmas was the happiest time of my life.
I don't remember.
Christmas without children isn't the same.
There wasn't a child in that house.
You see Portia?
Yes.
Give me her address and we'll do a swap.
Why is it so important to you?
That's personal.
Maybe she prefers not to hear from you.
I know her better than you do, Reyka.
Lucy's not a game, she doesn't belong to you.
It's been over 20 years.
Her family need to know what happened to her.
You'd understand that if you were a father
Show her out.
Hey Tamma
Hey.
How's Bridget?
Fine, good.
You don't have to-
It's fine.
New au pair?
Nina? Thuli loves her.
Oh, that's great.
Mmm, she's a breath of fresh air.
Thank you very much for the extra-
No problem, when is your interview
with child services?
Soon.
You ready?
I am, listen, Tamma I need your help finding a person
she's in witness protection.
Morning.
300 pills of flakka seized.
By accident, and good morning.
Still a good bust.
We know the hawks.
Boss, we've narrowed down the geographical profile.
Look, we could go undercover,
I could blend in.
We never go undercover on serial cases.
Agreed, too dangerous.
It's the only way to catch him.
Going undercover is a long strategic plan that involves
time and resources.
At the best we would work with someone who's
already undercover.
Yeah, but you have someone inside the compound don't you?
Yeah, one, that's it.
An informant can't do surveillance on a serial killer.
There are processes to adhere to.
We're not going undercover. Done.
Someone has a lead on Pastor Zik.
I want you to search him out.
Find out if he knows about Mbali's pregnancy.
Make sure all the labels are flat and in line.
Did our PA pass on the message?
Yes Ma'am.
Pastor Zik is not in, but we'd like to speak to you.
Oh no, I'm so sorry I don't have much time to be-
Just one minute.
Does your husband have any admirers?
What?
Young women.
Some.
We're investigating one of these women and we believe
that she and your husband were good friends.
Oh, I mean, Ezekiel has many friends.
Were there any women who seemed more attached to than-
Than what?
Normal.
What is normal for a community leader?
Was he close to any young women?
I know what you're trying to insinuate
and I won't stand for it.
This is a murder investigation.
We are trying to determine the relationship between the
Pastor and our victims.
Where you from, girlie?
Here.
No, you coloureds are from the Cape.
Our girls are not safe.
Please, help us.
We don't want to hurt you or your husband.
Well.
Gogo, we found Bongi's name on a church donation list.
Can we speak to her?
No, she's at her job.
Did she have a relationship with Pastor Zik?
Well, she wanted to be his favourite,
but you know how girls are these days obsessed
by powerful men.
And she nearly destroyed Pastor's marriage.
Bongi said he was going to leave his wife for her.
How do you know that?
He gave her a promise ring
A what?
That ring means you are a couple,
even if you are not married.
We need the Brigadier as well.
Your name keeps coming up in Mbali Msomi's murder.
How connected are you to her?
She came to me in distress,
so I helped to pay for her abortion.
That makes you look very guilty.
I'm not the father.
How do you know?
Don't insult me, Zwane.
So you just expect me to believe what you say?
I expect you to remember that you and I have known each
other for a long time.
Hmm.
Petronella and I can't have children because of me.
You're welcome to check with my doctor.
God has other plans for me.
So who is the father?
Mbali never told me his name, but he's a family man
from Mounthaven or Sugarlands.
That's all I know.
He's an outsider.
Eliminate Pastor Zik in your investigation.
I have to go.
Hey! Police!
Remove your hood.
Oh, you're the informant.
Yeah, it's me.
What did you tell Hector?
I was telling him about the party
that is going to happen at the compound tonight.
I and my boys will be jiving for sure.
Do you want to go to a party?
Where?
Tyrone local compound.
Not my scene.
And if you're undercover?
No, both Hector and Reyka vetoed the idea.
No one knows about this.
Are you being serious right now?
Do you trust me?
What's the plan?
You collect beer bottles for a DNA test.
And if you get a match with the one you found at the
deposition site.
Game-changer.
Hmm.
We're your family now, angel.
Case number?
PGX-562-1998.
Speelman.
How do I look?
Adjust your wire.
It's stuck, can you help?
Okay, pull it down.
50 metre radius.
Nandi?
Nandi!
Once you're out of range, I can't hear you.
Got it.
Sam, you got me, right?
I got you Nandi.
You are police.
I've seen you before.
You're right, I'm a cop.
I also like to dance.
So how's about we get a drink, chill out.
Come dance with me.
I want you to leave my daughter alone.
You've done enough damage to my family.
Cut her loose.
Give me my daughter back.
Reyka comes here out of her own free will, Elsa.
You stole her free will many years ago.
No, I shaped her, like a father.
She's my blood, she comes from me, not you.
There's nothing of you in her, except terror.
God would never give you children
because He knew you were sick.
You would hurt them, so He made you a husk.
She learned love from me.
You're deranged.
Where were you during all those years, Elsa?
I never stopped searching for her.
Reyka assumed you'd given up, you didn't want her.
You fed her that story.
For a while she wanted to call you, Christmas, birthdays.
But then she realised that we were her family.
We loved her more than the stars in the sky, you?
Well you were holed up in some hotel room with a policeman
who he was supposed to rescue her.
How dare you?
Reyka was safe, she was happy with me.
I was looking for her all day and all night.
Hmm, you keep telling yourself that, Elsa.
Now you listen to me, you piece of shit,
Reyka is my daughter, mine okay?
She's home now.
So please, sir, let go of her.
I can't, she's part of me now.
Yes you can, you have a choice.
You never gave her consent to any of this.
Oh, trust me Elsa, when we were in bed
it was a hundred percent consensual.
-God!
You wanna go for a walk?
I wanna show you something really beautiful.
Sure, okay, I'll follow you.
Nandi.
Nandi?
Nandi!
This is good, right?
Close your eyes.
No, no.
Do you trust me?
Nandi! Nandi! Nandi!
Soda.
Soda, I don't feel very comfortable.
It's not far.
Sam?
Reyka! We're at the Tyrone local compound!
Okay Soda, I'm gonna open my eyes now.
Gee, Soda, you really know how to impress a woman.
