(flies buzzing)
(dramatic music)
Hey, thanks for coming.
- (Sienna) What happened? - (Dirk) Oh, we don't know.
- Is it Gus? - Yeah.
Listen, that's not why I called.
I found something that I need to show you both.
Are you... Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just need a minute. Would you wait?
(ominous music)
(creature snarling)
(Max) You shouldn't be seeing this. It's horrible, huh?
Um, how are you doing?
- I dreamt about you last night. - Oh.
Well, it's uh... Um...
You know, I've been meaning to check up on you.
It's just... things have gone a bit crazy.
You know? Um...
Well, I have to go. I have to take care of things.
I'll come by later. Yeah?
Okay.
(dramatic music)
Are you okay?
- (wind howling) - (leaves rustling)
(knocking on door)
Yola.
Hello?
Don't inhale it. It's deadly.
- How many drums are left? - Five.
Bring all of 'em.
Uh, what are you doing?
- Killing that crocodile. - With that?
That is the best poison money can buy.
Forever Chemicals. All the way from the USA.
It'll be killing things long after we're gone.
And you're going to pour that into the dam?
Oh, yeah. Kill that fucker once and for all.
Yeah and everyone and everything that drinks from the dam.
- Okay. - Genius.
Well, luckily, we have a borehole, so we're fine.
You're not thinking straight. You can't pour that into the dam.
They can all stop drinking till the croc is dead. How's that?
Well, you just said they last forever
and we're not even sure if it is a croc, Max.
Rudy.
Do you want me to kill the thing or not?
Yeah. Yeah. I'd like you to kill it
but not the whole Goddamn town with it you stupid idiot.
Yeah, well-- Don't you ever call me stupid again.
Or have you forgotten that I fixed your Themba problem, huh?
- Stop acting like a child. - You stop acting like your father.
Please stop that. I said stop it, right now.
Wrap it up.
Yes, sir.
- Sorry, sir. - Hey.
How many more, sir?
He was my friend, too. Okay?
Now come to the hall. You're gonna be late for the meeting.
- Hm. - Meetings.
It's always meetings with him.
Get rid of this.
What do you want me to do with it?
I don't know. Pour it in the drain or something.
(water burbling)
(birds chirping)
(Sienna) What is this place?
(Dirk) This is where you were kept.
(dramatic music)
(Sienna) Do you remember this?
No.
Well, we found his jacket.
- Whose? - Themba's.
You think Themba took her?
- Why would he do that? - I don't know yet.
That doesn't make sense. He's in love with her.
What about love ever made sense?
(melancholy music)
Hey, uh...
- I thought you had left. - (Themba) No.
I'm done running.
I did not kidnap Yola. Charlton, you know this.
Did you tell them the hut is yours?
I uh... I-- I told them you didn't do it.
Did you tell them about the hut?
Hey, man. What-- What is this, huh? What are you doing?
It's just weed.
So they'll give you a slap on the wrist. But me.
They'll put me away forever.
Okay? I'll never get to see my family again.
Hey, look at me, man.
I'm...
Don't make this difficult for either of us.
(Themba) You called them? I thought you were my friend.
(footsteps approaching)
(indistinct chatter)
Yola, I need uh... I need to go do something. Okay?
- Hmm-mm. Hmm-mm. - Stay in the car.
- Promise me. - I promise.
Okay.
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
Yola.
- Two minutes. Okay? - Mm.
(indistinct chatter)
(suspense music)
(Rudy) Now we found Gus's body at the dam today.
That's Gus and Danie. Two dead in three days.
(Dr Nel) The wound suggests something or someone very angry.
Why do you say that?
What else, the fingers? Don't look. Don't touch.
It feels personal. Pathological.
Sorry, so you saying it's a person?
No, I'm just saying it looks personal.
(Anton) No human could have made wounds like this. This is an animal.
(Reese) Something has torn open three of my goats
from their throats to their arsehole.
It's a crocodile.
(Rudy) Okay, okay, please. Quiet, quiet.
We need one meeting at a time. Thank you.
(Dirk) Look. There have been many sightings,
but you all can't seem to agree on what you saw.
Okay well, what else keeps dead meat in a lair underwater?
- Huh, genius? - (Dora) It's not a crocodile.
It's Mamlambo.
(ominous music)
(scoffing)
Sienna, I'm on my way to the meeting.
Annie, please. It won't take long.
It's an emergency.
Okay, give it to me.
(dramatic music)
I'm sorry. I can't help you.
Why not?
This isn't Olly's signature.
It's been forged. I should call the police.
Come on.
You could help me if you really wanted to.
How far are you?
I don't know.
Five, six weeks. Tops.
That's against the law and...
- And what? - It could be my son's child.
It's not Rudy's child.
Or any one of the many men you sleep with.
I don't know whose child it is. Or even if it is a child yet.
What I know is it's eating me inside. And I can't have it.
Well, you should have thought of that before you slept with half the town.
Wow.
That's why I like you, Annie. For you, every day is judgement day.
- Okay, if it is her then why now? - I, I don't know, but it's her.
Yeah, and the tooth fairy pegged Peter Pan just Thursday.
Let's just stop it.
- Max, behave yourself. - (Rudy) Okay, Calm down.
- Calm down. - No, no, no.
We don't need calm, okay? We need action.
Why don't you go out and hunt and kill whatever it is.
(Max) Yes. And we need to find that crocodile,
cut its fucking head off. Stick it through a pipe.
Yeah, but we don't even know what and where it is.
You know where it is. It's in a lair. We found it.
(Rudy) Let's just get some order, please. Dirk, what do you suggest?
I think we need to send for reinforcements.
- We need government support. - (Max) Government assistance?
They couldn't even find boerewors at a braai, you fucknut.
(Rudy) Okay. Okay, cool. I agree with Max.
The last thing we need now is
- outsiders meddling in our business. - (Max) No, no, no, no.
We need to take care of this ourselves.
No. We need less talking and more action.
Yes. Yes.
(Rudy) Okay, so here's the plan. Max, you and Reese and your crew,
you set up patrols and traps at the dam, alright?
Dirk, you go out and tell people to stay inside.
We can't lose another person.
Then, Anton. You go and check out Reese's goats.
See if there's a connection.
So that's the plan. Let's get to work.
- (Max) Great. - Max.
Yeah.
Just don't let them throw the shiny stuff.
- Yeah, it's fine. - And...
- Be careful. - Okay.
You too.
Alright. Let's kill that croc.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- Drop that croc! - Drop that croc!
- Shot that croc! - Shot that croc!
- Fuck that croc! - Fuck that croc!
(car approaching)
- (Sienna) Hi. - Hi.
(car doors closing)
What are you doing here?
(Lindiwe) We need to speak Yola.
Oh. Uh, yeah. About what?
About Themba.
Yeah. Fine.
Yeah, sure. Come in.
- Can I have your advice on something? - Sure.
(Lindiwe) Themba needs your help. It's a setup.
Tell the police he did not kidnap you.
I can't.
I don't know where I was or what happened to me.
I know my nephew. He has the purest of heart.
And he likes you very, very much. He will never hurt you.
- (Sienna) I don't want it. - (Qaqamba) Are you sure?
(Sienna) Yeah.
(Qaqamba) Okay.
I know there's a recipe with a-- that tree.
- Isikhonyambe. - Yeah.
Can I have the rest of the recipe?
(sighing) Um...
Okay.
- Okay. - Let's just go to the kitchen.
So you take a handful of that bark, okay?
(groaning)
(dramatic music)
(Annie) She's pregnant.
- Are you sure? - Yep.
- Five or six weeks. - Well, that's it.
That's the reason. That explains it.
- Explains what? - The attacks.
- What do you mean? - She's come for blood.
Who's coming for blood?
- Mamlambo. - Mamlambo?
She wants the child. The blood of Jacob. It makes perfect sense.
(sighing) Then we have a problem.
- Why? - Sienna doesn't want the baby.
(scoffing) Well, she needs to keep it.
Who's the father?
- I don't think she even knows. - Oh my God.
Well...
Oh well, so we need Rudy and her to put pressure on her.
Mm.
The strangest thing happened outside the store yesterday.
That student of yours. The one with the yellow raincoat.
Then you take your chopped root...
Just half a litre, okay? Mix it. Then boil for 15 minutes.
Strain it. And then you just drink it, okay?
You'll feel very nauseous.
So please... please don't do it alone.
- Just in case something goes wrong. - Yeah, no I won't.
Okay.
Thanks.
It is Mamlambo.
(sighing) Not now, Dora. I've got a lot going on.
I mean, it's Rudy, it's her.
Now is not the time for superstition.
It is not superstition. Think about it.
You saw those bodies.
Those wounds were made by no animal that I've ever seen. And Olly?
- He says it looks personal. - But people are panicking.
The last thing we need now is an imaginary monster.
She's real.
And you deny her at your own peril.
We all know you love the idea of an angry woman spirit thing.
You've got the tattoo to prove it. But that doesn't make her real.
- She is a myth created to scare-- - He gave his life.
To bring Yola back.
And she brought the rain.
Which broke the drought which made the rivers flow, which...
Washed the diamonds out.
Yes, I know about the diamonds.
The ones you're so desperate to get your dirty little hands on.
Do you... really think this is all...
a coincidence?
Okay, if it is her, why now?
Where has she been for the last 200 years, hmm?
She wants Sienna's baby.
Sienna's pregnant?
(Officer) Through the door on your right.
(Themba) Yola?
I can't believe you came. Thank you.
- Your aunty asked me. - Oh, yeah. She's hard to refuse.
Yeah.
So you still don't remember anything?
- Nothing? - Sorry.
It's okay.
You know, I came back hoping that you'd remember.
That all of this will go away.
Me and you would live happily ever after and ride into the sunset.
- (scoffing) - But it doesn't matter.
It's okay. I... I'll remember.
For the both of us.
(tender music)
I'll never forget when I came by your house.
You looked so beautiful, Yolanda.
As if you were wearing the moonlight on your shoulders like a scarf.
And you smiled at me.
I smiled back.
And all I could think about was just...
kissing you on your lips.
(laughing) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I...
(sniffling) I didn't mean to embarrass you.
It's just that I...
I had to leave.
But I couldn't.
The thought of you thinking that I did those terrible things to you,
I couldn't live with that.
And they'll say a lot of things about me, Yolanda.
Those are lies.
I would never do anything to hurt you.
I may be a stranger to you.
But to me...
I just want the best for you.
(Sienna) Hey, Yola. What happened? What did he say?
- He didn't do it. - Do you remember anything?
No.
No, I just know.
Okay.
- Hey, where are you going? - Sienna, I just need space.
Okay, just... give me a moment.
Everything feels foggy, so I just need time to think.
Just be careful, okay?
You too.
(dramatic music)
(door opening)
(Nurse) Zizi. It's time for your treatment.
I said, it's time for your treatment.
Come. Won't hurt.
Later Clara.
(dramatic music)
(Sienna) I don't think he did it.
(Dirk) Well, that's not what the evidence suggests.
No. The jacket proves nothing.
- It's not just the jacket. - Well, what evidence is there?
Sienna...
- What other evidence is there? - This isn't protocol.
- Okay. - Dirk.
This is my sister.
Please.
(sighing)
We think these are Yola's.
Uh... Could be.
Can I see?
I won't touch it. I won't touch, just show me.
These are clean. You can smell the detergent.
And this is underwear she's supposedly worn for weeks.
- Well, Themba might have washed them. - In the river? And then ironed them.
He's not your guy.
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(Annie) I believe congratulations are in order.
What do you mean?
I heard you're going to be a father.
(slow-paced music)
(groaning)
(flies buzzing)

(tense music)
(ominous music)
(indistinct cracking)

(water rustling)
(suspense music)
(ominous sound)
(screaming)
(Rudy chuckling) Oh, you are going away for a long ass time, my brother.
I didn't do it.
You know that.
What I know is irrelevant.
- It's Charlton's hut. - Well, that's not what he says.
We smoked there once and I left my jacket.
The underwear was planted.
But you already know that too.
Either way, this is the last time
that you and I will ever see each other.
So what, you came here to say goodbye?
Mm-hm.
What do you want?
I'm gonna make you a once-off, take it or leave it offer.
Where all of this goes away.
- All of it? - Yeah.
All of it.
Let's see, the kidnapping, Bernoldus, your friend Victor?
Breaking and entering. Oh, oh, assaulting Max and even the dagga.
Poof. Gone.
Just like that.
In return for what?
- (Dirk) Sienna. - Yeah.
- Is it true? - What?
That you're pregnant?
- Who told you? - So, it's true.
Dirk, it's... It's none of your business.
Of course it's my business. It's...
It's my baby.
This is good. Why don't we get married?
What?
Marry me.
No, Dirk. I won't.
- Why not? - Because...
Because I don't want to.
I don't wanna have a baby and I don't wanna get married.
Especially-- I don't want a mercy proposal. No.
Forget it. But this baby, th...
We could... We could raise it together. Yeah?
- Co-parent. - No.
I'm not having it.
You're gonna have an abortion just like that?
Yeah Dirk, just like that. I woke up this morning and I thought,
what a perfect day for an abortion.
I... I don't want you having an abortion.
Dirk, I cannot talk about what you want right now.
(dramatic music)
(water rumbling)
(ominous music)
(Clara humming)
(door opening)
(suspense music)
- Where are you taking her? - Upstairs.
She's cured.
Please, man.
Please.
Hey.
