[sombre music playing]
[Jacob exhales angrily]
I've given him more than enough time.
[Delisiwe inhales sharply]
[Delisiwe whimpers]
I know you don't deserve this.
But neither did my father.
So forgive me.
[Delisiwe whimpering]
[music intensifying]
[gun cocks]
[music crescendoes, softens]
[Delisiwe whimpers, cries]
[Jacob breathing shakily]
[Nandi] You've crossed too many lines.
You've got your revenge now.
What did you get from it?
-[Delisiwe crying] -[Jacob breathing shakily]
[vehicle approaches rapidly, tires screech]
[music intensifies]
[Delisiwe whimpering]
[vehicle doors closing]
-[Vuyo] Jacob! -[Nandi] Jacob, no! No! Wait, Jacob!
Jacob, no! Put the gun down! Put the gun down and step away from her!
What the fuck are you doing here? We're on the same side.
This is the only way we'll punish Vilakazi!
No! There's another way. I spoke to Precious's mom.
That doesn't fucking matter, Vuyo, if he doesn't confess!
No! What about Zinhle?
[in Zulu] How would you feel if Vilakazi killed her?
[in English] We've got it all on record! We've finally got the truth!
[Delisiwe whimpering]
[Nandi] Please, Jacob.
[exhales forcefully]
Take the shot, Vuyo! Take it for Zinhle!
-Take it! -[Jacob shouts]
[gun firing]
-[Delisiwe crying] -Stop.
Enough! Please.
[in Zulu] I'm begging you.
[in English] Please, just let her go.
Let her go. She's innocent. [panting]
I know you've been fighting.
I know you have a good heart.
And I know your heart better than anyone.
[in Zulu] Shoot that bastard, Vuyo!
Shut the fuck up, Leonard!
[softy] Hey. Hey.
Please.
Let her go, okay?
For me? Huh?
[in Zulu] For you.
Huh?
[in English] Let her go.
Okay?
[gun clatters to ground]
It's okay.
Hey. Hey. It's okay.
[spits]
[in Zulu] You are the devil himself!
Just like your father!
[in English] May the good Lord above save your soul!
[in Zulu] You are a wicked boy!
-It's your husband who's actually sick. -[phone beeps]
You don't know what you're talking about.
[Ivy in Xhosa] We used to take Precious with us to work.
[in English] And Vilakazi took a liking to her.
[crying] No! No!
[Ivy cries softly]
One day, I caught them.
I called my husband.
[in Xhosa] He lost his mind.
It was his job to fetch Busi from school.
[in English] But this time around, he didn't take her home.
[door creaks open]
He kidnapped her because…
[Delisiwe whimpering]
…he wanted to hurt Vilakazi like Vilakazi had hurt us.
Later, when they found Busi's body…
-[Vilakazi shouting] -…Vilakazi went mad.
Busi!
[grunting]
[Ivy] And he killed my husband.
We've finally got him by the balls, Jacob.
Precious's mom is gonna tell us the truth.
[Ivy] The reason they framed Jiba for Busi's murder
was so that the investigation into her death would stop,
and they wouldn't find out about him and Precious.
-Even his wife didn't know. -[Delisiwe sobbing]
God, no!
I'd be very careful with that if I were you, Vuyo.
[Jacob] Why? Huh? Because you're going down too?
Leonard doesn't have amnesia.
He's been lying and faking this whole time!
Yeah.
Well, fuck you all.
Fuck you!
[dramatic musical sting]
[Nandi gasps] Jacob!
[Nandi] Deli, no. No.
-Deli, no! [splutters] -Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[gunshot] -[body thuds to ground]
Oh my God.
You have to be fucking kidding me.
Fuck!
[sombre music playing]
[phone vibrating]
[Nandi gasps softly]
-Zinhle. -Nandi. Nandi!
[Nandi] Zinhle.
[line ringing]
Nandi Mahlati here.
Do leave your name and number, and I'll get back to you.
[Vuyo grunts]
Vuyo.
[gun cocks]
What are you doing?
I'm going to need that recording.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Clinton] Mmm. -[Zinhle sighs]
[dance music playing]
[Clinton coughing]
[inaudible]
-What's going on? -Hmm? Um…
The… the guy that invited us here,
he just wants to talk to me real quick.
-But you're gonna be okay, right? -[woman] Whoo!
[women laughing]
[chuckles] I think I'll be just fine.
[Nandi panting]
[in Zulu] Where the hell are they?
[in English] Come on. Let's go.
[engine starts]
We have to go and save Zinhle.
The phone, Vuyo.
-Give it to me. -Or what?
Are you gonna shoot me?
Is this more important to you than Zinhle?
Clinton.
My boy.
You good?
Uh, yeah. [chuckles nervously]
Thank you for this.
[inhales deeply] I'll tell you what.
Let me hook you up.
Just to thank you for doing this for me.
This coke
is so pure it makes the Colombians jealous.
Today is your lucky day.
[Clinton chuckles]
Thank you so much, sir. [laughs]
[laughs]
-Enjoy. -Ah, I will. [laughs]
Why did you give them coke?
It's not coke.
It's heroin.
If they snort that, they're going to OD.
I'm doing this to protect my family, Vuyo.
Bullshit!
You made a deal with the devil!
Yes!
Yes, I did!
And when the devil himself comes to you, Vuyo, and he threatens your family…
[breathing shakily] …you do whatever the fuck he says.
Vilakazi gave you the same choice.
[Precious in Zulu] Tell your police friends to back off.
[in English] The Jiba case is closed.
Zinhle looks so cute in those expensive sunglasses.
[in Zulu] Do you get my point?
[in English] Let the dead be dead, Mahlati.
I chose Zinhle!
You didn't!
And that makes me a better father, Vuyo!
Then fucking do it!
Do it! Kill me now!
[Leonard grunts]
[in Zulu] What are you doing, Vuyo?
-[Leonard grunts] -[Vuyo screams]
[both shouting]
[both grunting]
[tense music playing]
[gunshot]
[panting]
[sombre music playing]
[phone vibrating]
[phone beeps]
[Vilakazi] Mahlati.
What's going on?
I just shot Vuyo.
[Vilakazi] I don't give a shit about that.
Where is my wife?
Does Jacob still have her?
[inhales sharply]
Where's my wife?!
She's dead.
I'm sorry.

[Precious breathing shakily]
[in Zulu] Where's my child?
[menacing music plays]
-Huh? -You let Jacob kill Deli.
How could you let him do that? She had nothing to do with this!
She shot herself.
Jacob had let her go.
Bullshit! That…that makes no sense. Deli would never do that.
-She found out about you and Vilakazi. -What?
[in Zulu] That you've been having an affair with him since you were 16.
-[in English] No. -Yeah.
Vuyo found your mother.
[in Zulu] Your mother told him everything that happened.
-[in English] No, no, no. -Yeah, she couldn't handle the truth.
But, Precious, no one else needs to get hurt.
[in Zulu] So, please, where is my child? Where's Zinhle?
-You're lying. -I'm begging you.
[in English] Get off me!
-Just let me know! -Leave me alone!
Guard!
You were just 16.
You were a child, Precious.
He had no right to do what he did.
Look at what this monster has done to you.
Precious, please! Please, Precious!
[in Zulu] Where is my child?
[in English] Let go of me! Let go of me!
[in Zulu] Where is Zinhle?
[Nandi shrieks]
[sombre music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[screaming]
This is grade-A type of shit, all right? You don't get this anywhere else.
Okay, you have to try it.
[splutters] Uh, I think I'll just drink.
Oh, come on. It's gonna be fun, all right? Look…
Hey, last night together, all right,
and it's gonna help you forget all the trauma and bullshit.
Trust me.
[sniffing]
-Yep. -Yeah?
Yep, try. Come, come, come, come.
[Clinton sighs]
One, two, three!
[sniffing]
[discordant ringing]
Ooh!
-Oh! -[Clinton chuckles]
-Yeah? [laughs] -[giggling]
I need you to punish me, Mistress.
I need you to punish me for Deli.
You could've saved her if you called the press conference.
Punish me for not doing it.
I need this.
Nandi's here looking for her daughter.
She says my mother told her everything.
I should've tied up those loose ends a long time ago.
-Especially my mother. -Yes.
She didn't keep her mouth shut.
Punish me already. For God's sake, Mistress! Punish--
-[screams] -[whimpers]
-[whip cracking] -[Vilakazi whimpering]
-[screaming] -[groaning]
[Nandi panting]
Let go of me! Leave me!
[Jacob chuckles] My man,
what time is midnight? Hmm?
-[grunts] -[thud]
[guard grunts]
She must be in one of the private rooms. Let's split up.
Okay. Let's go this way.
-[ominous music playing] -[chains rattle]
All we have is each other now.
We'll destroy them all for what they did to Deli.
Who really killed Deli?
Was it them or us?
Even Busi would still be alive if it weren't for us.
It was your father who killed my daughter.
And I saved you from him.
So you don't have any regrets?
[Vilakazi swallows]
Do you ever regret what you did to me? Hmm?
I was 16.
Do you regret that at all?
You told me you wanted a life your parents could never give you.
-You came to me-- -I was a child!
A child who knew what she wanted.
I'm not a perfect man.
I loved you.
Even when I shouldn't have.
I used to think I loved you too.
But it was just guilt.
And I've been trying to make up for what happened to Busi.
What happened to Busi is not your fault.
[crying softly] But it was.
Busi. Busi, Busi, come.
Busi. Busi, come, come.
Let's go this way. Let's go this way.
[Precious's father] Precious!
[in Xhosa] Please stop, my child.
Precious!
[Busi whispers] Precious.
[Busi whimpers]
[Precious's father, in Xhosa] You will never! Precious!
Busi?
Oh my G--
[gasping frantically]
[screaming]
[music crescendoes]
[sombre music continues]

I killed your daughter.
And I'm so sorry.

[chains rattling]
[Vilakazi panting]
[chains rattling]
-He didn't tell me anything about-- -He phoned me.
He says he definitely wants to see me. So, uh, if you can just let me go through.
[music intensifying]
[Precious grunts]
Okay, go.
Thank you.
-You're trying to kill me? -[Precious grunts]
You're trying to kill me after you killed my daughter?
You're trying to fucking kill me!

[song fades out]
[news anchor] More details are emerging following the murder of Minister Vilakazi
on New Year's Eve in Cape Town.
According to the reports,
the late minister's personal assistant has been cooperating with police.
She's been detailing a complicated history of murder, abuse, and cover-ups
dating back to the death of Busi Vilakazi,
where an innocent man, Benjamin Jiba, was wrongfully convicted of her murder.
This will all be cold comfort to the Jiba family,
who have endured years of torment
following the conviction and subsequent suicide of Mr. Jiba.
[sombre music playing]
[Vuyo sighs]
[kisses]
[pounding on door]
[Vuyo] And then?
-Vuyo Mahlati? -Yeah?
You're under arrest for the murder of Yusuf Fayad.
-No, no, no, no. -Take him.
-Hey, man, I didn't kill anybody! -Take him! Go!
Hey, man! Leave me alone, man! Where are you taking me?
-Take him. Go! Go! -Leave me alone!
-Take him! Go! -Hey! Leave me alone!
Hey!
[song fades out]
[siren wailing in distance]
Nandi, what the hell is going on? They are saying I killed Yusuf.
Someone tipped off the cops.
They found his body.
And your fingerprints are all over his home.
There's also footage of you breaking into his property and escaping.
[Vuyo] Yusuf!
Yusuf. Fuck.
He was already dead before I got there.
This is Precious.
She's setting me up.
Vilakazi's dead.
Why would she do this to me?
Because I asked her to.
[menacing music plays]
[Nandi chuckles]
[Vuyo] What?
I convinced her that Vilakazi wasn't the only problem.
So she played her part, killed Vilakazi,
and now it's my turn to get rid of the monsters in my life.
This is not a joke.
This is murder.
-I might be sentenced to-- -Life in prison.
Yes, Vuyo.
That's kind of the point. [chuckles]
-Nandi. -Hmm?
I know we hurt each other in the past.
But you're pushing this too far.
Well, you didn't seem to have a problem with it
when you did it to me, now, did you?
[Vuyo inhales sharply]
[exhales]
So this is it?
[Nandi chuckles wryly]
[inhales sharply] Not too long ago, Vuyo,
you sat in the same place across the table from me,
and you told me you had won.
Well, this time, Zinhle has won.
Yeah.
Wait!
Nandi, wait!
[music fades out]
[birds chirping]
[sighs softly]
What happened to Ivy's recording?
[in Zulu] Because the police are telling me…
[in English] …she's refusing to cooperate, again.
She understood Vilakazi had a gun to my head.
[in Zulu] And that everything I did was to protect my family.
[chuckles wryly] Leonard.
You've been selling that story to anyone who'll listen.
But it's not true, is it?
Vilakazi's gone.
We can work ourselves out, Nandi. [inhales deeply]
[gentle music playing]
Sign.
End this marriage.
And then,
go and resign as a judge.
[in Zulu] Tell them you can no longer practice the law in good conscience.
[in English] What?
You don't deserve to uphold the law, Leonard.
You don't deserve to be held in high esteem.
[in Zulu] And if I refuse?
[Nandi sighs softly]
[inhales] You know a journalist called Yusuf.
Precious told me all about him.
Sign these papers.
[inhales deeply] Or maybe,
Vuyo won't be the one going down for murder.
