[tense music playing]
[key clacking]
[Thuso] Where did you go?
I went for a walk
on the promenade.
[Thuso] You were on the promenade when I called you?
[knocking on door]
How's it going?
Is that our first real suspect?
Is that former Judge Mahlati?
[dramatic musical sting]
[dramatic music playing]
[gentle music playing]
[Nandi breathing heavily]
[Jacob kisses] Everything is gonna be all right.
My DNA is already in the system
after my time in prison.
[inhales shakily] So the DNA is gonna have my name all over it.
[inhales deeply] Look…
We're gonna figure it out.
Okay?
[Nandi gasps]
[Kim] What the fuck is wrong with you, Nandi?
[screaming]
-Bitch! Get off me! I'll kill you! -[shrieking]
[screaming]
[Jacob] Nandi, what have you done?! What have you done?
[music fades]
-[birds squawking] -[waves crashing gently]
[door slams shut]
[footsteps approaching]
Hey.
What? Burning the midnight oil at the office?
I need you to come with me.
Baby, you look tired. You should get some rest.
I said, let's go.
Not now. I've got meetings.
[handcuffs rattling]
What? No, babe, I'm--
You're the prime suspect in the murder of Kim Jansen.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Leonard] I did go to the hotel that night.
And I know I lied about it, but it doesn't mean I killed someone.
[suspenseful music continues]
Why were you at the hotel?
I went there to tell Jacob's fiancée that she was about to marry an asshole.
And I lied about it because you would've talked me out of it.
-So, you went to warn her about Jacob? -Yes.
[Thuso] Except she didn't believe you, did she?
And you ended up fighting, and that's how she fell!
No!
I never set foot on that roof.
While I was there,
I realised all of this shit was beneath me, and I left.
You really think I'm capable of murder?
-[grunting] -[thudding]
[Yusuf grunts]
-[Leonard grunting] -[thudding]
Hmm?
I know you hate Jacob.
[Leonard] Yes.
I resent him with a passion.
He destroyed my family, he came for my business,
but Kim is not Jacob.
I didn't hurt her.
I'm not a killer.
-Don't-- -Hands!
-[door opens] -[Leonard sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
[Thuso sighs, tuts]
Are you fucking Mahlati?
It's not a big deal. Let it go.
Bullshit. You're fucking a prime suspect.
You've been compromised. I have to report this.
Go ahead.
A docket went missing on that cash-in-transit heist case.
I looked away to give your little thug brother a fighting chance.
[dramatic music playing]
Kim Jansen deserves justice.
And I won't sleep until she gets it.
I'm not walking away until I give her that.
If Leonard Mahlati is guilty, I will bury him under that prison.
Let me know as soon as the DNA from the French tip comes back.
Okay.
You should get some sleep and head home.
Yeah.
[music fades out]
[sighing] Oh God.
Thuso, come on! You cannot let this case do this to you.
To us!
I need to be away from you.
Oh, great. After you parade me like that, drag me in for questioning,
you wanna leave?
Fuck you, Leonard.
You lied to me.
I did no such thing.
Is this about us playing cops and robbers, or what?
Are you using me to cover your tracks?
What is wrong with you?
What are you on about? I dated you for two years!
And what do I have to show for it? I've been your little secret.
That's what this is about.
-That's why you dragged me to the station. -What?
Because I didn't introduce you to my family?
Fuck off!
This is about you being a suspect in a murder investigation
and using me to cover for you.
[tense music playing]
What are you doing?
I'm calling Zinhle to tell her about us,
and Nandi, and whoever the fuck wants to listen,
because telling you that I love you is not enough.
No. Not like this.
Listen to me! Listen to me.
I am no killer.
Fuck you for thinking that I am.
-Let me go. -No. No, no!
Jacob is the murderer. [breathing heavily]
That's who you're looking for.
If you don't believe me,
baby, you can walk.
[music intensifies]
[Leonard grunts]
-[Thuso grunts] -[Leonard grunting]
If I find out you were involved in this,
I won't arrest you.
[whispering] I'll end you.
[Leonard breathing heavily]
[Thuso moaning]
[both breathing heavily]
-[Thuso gasps] -[Leonard grunts]
[Thuso moans]
[both breathing heavily]
[both grunting]
[music fades out]
[sombre music playing]
[Jacob breathing heavily]
[Thuso] We found two French tips belonging to Kim.
-We sent them to the lab for DNA testing. -W-what are you trying to tell me?
This is officially a homicide investigation.
I promise you, I will not rest until I find out who did it.
[waves crashing gently]
[exhales shakily]
[quietly] What have I done?
-[intercom ringing] -[slurping]
[ringing continues]
[intercom beeps]
[exhales]
Motherfuck! [clicks tongue]
Hey, Zee. Zee, I just wanna talk.
What the fuck? [breathing shakily]
Get the fuck away from us. [in Zulu] Do you hear me?
-[in English] Look, I understand-- -[grunts]
I said, stay the hell away from us, Jacob. [exerting]
Zee! Zee! Zee! Zee! Wait! Wait!
-Fuck! -Listen, I saved your life.
-Zinhle! Zinhle! -Remember?
Hey. [breathing heavily]
[in Zulu] What's going on here? Huh?
[in English] I just want us to talk.
All of us.
This better be fucking good.
Did you tell her what happened?
-[quietly] Jacob. -Tell me what?
Your mother was the one that pushed Kim off the rooftop that night.
-[Zinhle scoffs softly] -[quietly] Fuck.
But she didn't mean to.
-[Zinhle] Ma. -[Nandi exhales]
M-Ma, what is he talking about?
[gasps softly]
[Zinhle breathing shakily]
[gasping softly]
Ma, you killed someone.
-Listen, it was an accident. -Shut up.
Tell me the truth.
I… [inhales deeply]
I went to the hotel to speak to Kim.
And she called me up to the rooftop, and she attacked me. I-- [inhales shakily]
-Hey. Listen… -I fell and I hit my head. I…
Listen, it was self-defence, okay?
Nandi, I wasn't lying when I told you that Kim had a history of violence. I swear.
But why are you doing this?
Huh?
Because we need Zinhle to contaminate those DNA samples.
[scoffs]
Listen, Kim's fingernails have your mother's DNA.
If we don't contaminate those DNA samples,
your mother's gonna go to jail. We can't have that.
Zinhle, I had no idea about this. I promise you, I didn't.
Zinhle, save your mother.
For you and for me.
Zee, sweetheart…
[door closes]
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
[Zinhle] You came home late last night.
I did?
You weren't here when I got called to the crime scene.
Where were you?
Actually, I was… I was with the prof.
[Zinhle] "I was with the prof."
[Zinhle and Nandi giggling]
You're a liar.
You have no idea what I had to say, what I had to do, just to survive!
[engine starts]
[tense music playing]
[thud]
[phone ringing]
Zee, d-don't do it.
Your DNA is in the system after your arrest, okay?
They'll find out it was you.
I'll deal with that.
Zinhle, working there has always been your dream.
And I'm not gonna let you corrupt that.
Okay?
I love you.
-[sighs] -[phone beeps]
-[questioningly] Hey. -Hey.
Are you good?
[scoffs] When am I ever?
[music fades out]
[footsteps approaching]
[in Zulu] What are you still doing here?
[in English] Nandi, listen. Everyone I love, I lose.
It's like a curse.
[in Xhosa] Nandi, please. Just let Zinhle contaminate the samples.
No, I can't.
Then it's over. They'll come arrest you.
[gentle music playing]
Then I'm glad I get to be with you…
before they do.
[Nandi sighs]
Hey.
I'll be fine.
All right? Come here.
[music intensifies]
[Nandi breathing heavily]
[music soars]
[music fades out]
[dramatic music playing]
[knocking on door]
DNA results?
Hot off the press.
Inconclusive.
Too many contaminants in the sample. They couldn't get a clear DNA profile.
-[Zinhle sighs] -[Lucky mutters]
This doesn't change anything. We keep digging.
Go back to the hotel. Interview everyone again.
See if anyone's changing their story. Go.
You.
You seem relieved that we didn't get a match.
No. Of-of course not.
[music fades out]
[Jacob inhales deeply, kisses]
[Nandi sighs]
-[phone vibrating] -[Nandi grunts softly]
[phone beeps]
Zinhle?
In-inconclusive.
[sombre music playing]
Are you sure?
Okay. Okay, thanks.
[phone beeps]
[sighs heavily]
[music fades out]
[Leonard] Hey.
[both moan softly]
So, how about we go for dinner tonight?
I want to tell Nandi and Zinhle about us.
I think it's time.
Why? What's the rush?
We could wait another two years.
-You're bullshitting. [laughs] -[laughing] I'm fucking with you.
[both moaning softly]
[phone vibrating]
[Thuso sighs]
Lucky, what you got?
Hey, boss. Some new surveillance footage turned up.
Wanna put eyes on it?
Yeah, bring it in.
We'll watch surveillance footage until we get the right one.
[Lucky] Okay, sharp!
[Thuso] All right.
-[tense music playing] -[phone beeps]
[Thuso sighs]
Sounds like good news.
More surveillance footage turn up?
I don't think we should be discussing the case.
Yeah, but I think you should be getting a search warrant
for Jacob's house or something.
That's what I'd do.
There's nothing pointing us in Jacob's direction.
Have you interrogated him?
Hmm?
[inhales] You know, you keep saying Jacob's obsessed with your family.
I'm starting to think you're the one that's obsessed.
No.
Okay, but… Wait.
-Wait. -Uh-huh.
Thu…
-[line ringing] -[exhales shakily]
[therapist] Sorry. I'm not available at the moment. Please leave a message.
-[voicemail beeps] -[Nandi] Doc, hey. It's… it's me again.
I need to, uh, urgently schedule an appointment.
I…
-[sighs] -[phone beeps]
-Hey, Ma. -Hey, Zee.
You know, I'm… I'm really trying to figure out…
Why were you at the hotel that night?
I don't know. I…
I wasn't thinking. I wasn't myself.
But I didn't go there to hurt her. I promise you.
I'm glad the DNA results were inconclusive.
I mean, you're not a murderer, Ma.
Yeah, but I…
I need to do the right thing, you know? I need to turn myself in. I…
[Nandi sighs]
You say you fell and bumped your head?
Yeah, and I…
You know, I blacked out.
And I think that's… that's what's so frustrating because I just…
[Nandi sighs]
So, someone else must've pushed her while you were passed out?
I don't know.
I don't know, Zee.
Was… was Jacob there
when… when you woke up?
[tense music playing]
Zinhle, no.
No, no. Jacob didn't do this, okay? He's not a murderer either.
He didn't send the invitations, right?
He didn't.
Someone stopped the hotel's surveillance camera
from recording that night.
Exactly.
I'm gonna figure out what's going on here, Ma.
No, come on, Zinhle. You've done enough. Okay? You've done enough.
I know someone else who can help.
Who?
[tense music continues]
[gasps softly]
[in Zulu] Sorry, my sister.
[in English] The prisoner that was on that bed,
has he been discharged?
Yes, but I don't think he's going back to prison.
-What do you mean? -He was released this morning.
Uh…
[tense music continues]
[engine shuts off]
Thanks, Sandra, for getting back to me.
Yeah, no, a late afternoon appointment would be perfect.
-Okay, I'll see you then. -[phone beeps]
Come on, Leonard. We have talked about this.
You can't just keep barging into my home like this, you know?
Jeez, man.
We need to talk.
No. I have an appointment with my therapist.
About that night… [breathes deeply]
…at the hotel…
Yeah, exactly, Leonard.
What were you doing there? Hmm?
[Leonard] We were both there.
The cops know about me, but they don't know about you.
The lead detective has new surveillance footage.
In a matter of time, they'll see you in it.
-So you're here to warn me? -I'm here to tell you what to do.
[chuckles wryly]
[in Zulu] So, listen to me.
[in English] Tell them Jacob did it.
Tell them you saw him that night, and you saw him throw Kim off that roof.
And I'm going to back you.
[spluttering] Are you drunk?
Tell them the only reason you didn't come forward
is because Jacob threatened to hurt Zinhle.
Tell them he's unhinged. Tell them you fear for your life, Nandi.
You know what, Leonard? The only person who's unhinged here is you.
If you don't turn Jacob in,
I'm gonna tell the police what I saw that night.
Or rather…
what I recorded.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nandi panting on recording]
Tell them Jacob is the murderer…
or I'm gonna turn you in for murder.
Don't look at me like that. I'm trying to save you from him.
I'm not yours to save, Leonard.
[Leonard tuts]
Nandi.
With Jacob gone,
gone for good,
we can go back to the way things were. Just you and me.
[sighs exasperatedly] Are you serious?
I still love you, Nandi.
Ever since that idiot sent those invites, I've been thinking about us
and what we were before he came crashing into our world.
We can go back to that.
I will always love you.
[Nandi exhales]
When I was fighting Kim,
I blacked out.
Did you go to the roof to kill her just so you could orchestrate all of this?
-No. -You've killed before, Leonard.
[tense music playing]
Guys.
What's wrong, Zee?
[in Zulu] It's Uncle V…
[in English] He's out.
[music intensifies]
What?
[dramatic music playing]
