[car door opens]
Listen, Vuyo…
[breathing shakily] Vuyo, you don't have to do this.
Vuyo! Vuyo, I have Nandi now. Why would I kill Leonard? Huh?
And remember, I was there to save Zinhle from Vilakazi.
I'm not the enemy here!
Vuyo, please.
[in Xhosa] I'm begging you, please. Vuyo! Vuyo! Please, don't do this.
[in English] Vuyo, please. Vuyo. Vuyo. No!
[flames whooshing]
[flames crackling]
[Sandra breathing shakily]
Nandi!
Of course you're here.
'Cause you're as obsessed with him as I am.
-You're sick, Sandra. -So are you.
Because that's what Jacob made us become.
No, no, no. I'm nothing like you, Sandra. I don't hurt people.
Then why did you fuck Jacob just days before his fucking wedding?
Hmm?
Poor Kim.
When she saw the clip
of the two of you at it like rabbits,
it broke her.
You filmed us.
You planned all of this. You…
You drugged me because you knew I'd lose control.
You… You did this.
I nudged you.
The rest is on you.
How many lives have you and Jacob destroyed?
How many?!
Where's Jacob?
-It's too late for Jacob. -No.
Jacob!
Jacob! Jacob!
Nandi! Nandi!
[coughing] I'm in the cellar!

[phone beeps]
[Zinhle] Hey.
[Zinhle sighs] I've been thinking.
You're as much a victim of all of this as I am.
Maybe you're not a bad guy.
I'm sorry I said that.
Please come home.
I'm ready to talk.
[sombre music playing]
Listen.
You can't die like this.
Go. Go, please.
You're--
Loving you was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thank you.
Go. Go. Go.
[Nandi kisses]
Go. [coughs]
[Vuyo] You both deserve to rot in hell!
[dramatic music playing]
[Vuyo grunts]
[Nandi pants, coughs]
[all coughing]
[Lucky] Your attention, please. Quick media briefing from Detective Dube.
[indistinct chatter]
[journalist] Detective, can you tell us more…
Detective, can you tell us how the family's doing?
[journalist 2] What can you tell us about the Motaung case?
Dr. Sandra Motaung has been linked to several crimes,
including the murder of her husband, Samson Motaung,
and the murder of former judge, Leonard Mahlati.
Substantial evidence points to her being the lead suspect
in the murder of Kimberley Jansen as well.
May the families involved find peace and closure.
-Detective! -Detective, can you tell us the details…
No further comments. Thanks.

-Your husband is a brand-new being. -Hey, you. [kisses]
Another year, another anniversary.
-To our love. -To us.
Twenty years. You thought I'd forget?
Remember how happy we once were?
I'd like to try again.
I love you. [kisses]
I still love you, Nandi.
I will always love you.

[Zinhle sniffling]
[sombre music playing]
[Vuyo] Nandi.
Nandi, wait, please.
Nandi.
I'm sorry for what I almost did.
I'm sorry for everything.
These things we've done to each other, they have given us nothing.
Can we end it now, please?
If Zinhle wants you in her life,
so be it.
I'm stuck with you.
There's something you should know.
-Sandra Motaung-- -You aided and abetted her, I know.
She got me out of prison.
She was the only one willing to come to my rescue.
Whatever. Look, Sandra was not a sane woman.
She probably killed her husband.
But Leonard doesn't make sense.
Okay, Vuyo. I thought you just said you want this over with.
Think about it. How did she lift his body, and put it into the boot of his car
all on her own, and then drive all the way to that forest?
I'm telling you. Leonard's killer is still out there.
Okay, you know what, Vuyo?
If Zinhle wasn't your daughter,
I swear I would file a restraining order against you.
If you want to be a father,
then be one.
Fight for this family.
For us.
[car engine starts]
[Leonard] How's my baby doing?
Are we good?
[Thuso] We're good.
[Leonard] I really miss you.
[music fades out]
Shouldn't you be home?
Mmm, Thuso asked to see me.
I'm being reinstated.
-Congratulations. -[Zinhle sighs]
Laura, thank you for being a good friend when I needed you most.
-I didn't do much. -You did.
[sighs] When we broke up,
you said my parents never taught me how to love.
I want to learn.
[gentle music playing]
I better get going
before Thuso changes her mind.
Zee. Zee, wait.
I'm…
I'm the one who told Thuso about your burner phone.
She promised to promote me if I spied on you.
[Zinhle chuckles wryly]
I had a feeling it was you.
[inhales shakily] I understand if you never want to speak to me again.
Laura, we've both messed up.
I'm tired of us just hurting each other over and over.
Friends?
Friends. [chuckles softly]

We pulled this off.

[song fades out]
-[Vuyo] Do you have what I asked for? -[Thuso] Maybe.
I need to know why.
Sandra Motaung's case is closed. What's going on?
I'll tell you everything I know once I've done my own investigation.
[scoffs] You're asking a lot, Vuyo.
You should too.
[dramatic music playing]
You loved Leonard, right?
[music ends]
[door opens]
[Nandi in Zulu] Zinhle will get used to the idea.
She just needs more time.
[Vuyo] The gun
that killed Leonard…
It was mine.
The gun that you and Jacob took from me.
It was unregistered, so the cops can't trace it.
…let you ruin my life.
But I can see from the ballistics report that it was mine.
W-what did you say?
Who had my gun the night Leonard was killed?
I'm not going to let you do this, Vuyo.
Jacob and I are getting married, you understand?
After everything that's happened?
You're still blind for that boy.
Well, if you want to have a relationship with Zinhle,
you better end this vendetta.
Leonard confronted Jacob that night
because he knew you weren't guilty for Kim's murder.
Things escalated, and Jacob killed him.
How else do you explain that in his possession was the gun
that ended up being the murder weapon?
[in Zulu] What do you want me to do with these files, Vuyo?
[in English] It's up to you.
I'm not taking this any further.
I'm going for dinner with Zinhle.
Putting her first.
[gentle music playing]
Something you've clearly forgotten how to do, Nandi.
By the way, congratulations on your engagement to that fuckboy.
[Nandi] You're sick, Sandra.
So are you.
Because that's what Jacob made us become.
[Vuyo] You're still blind for that boy.
[gentle music playing]
[Jacob grunts softly]
[breathes deeply]

[breathing heavily]
[phone vibrating]
[phone beeps]
Hello?
Where are you so early?
I'm… I'm… I'm on campus.
I… I'll make it up to you. Uh…
My house… later on?
I love you, okay?
I love you too.
[music fades out]
[phone beeps]
[dramatic music playing]
-Hey. -Hey.
I still can't believe you're going to be my wife.
[breathes sharply]
Have a seat.
-You've made an honest man out of me. -Kim would've done the same.
If she'd lived.
Why are you bringing her up?
Those are records of what was on Kim and Sandra's phones from that night.
Kim received a video.
It was sent from Sandra's phone.
And both the sent and received videos were deleted.
That's why the police didn't follow up.
Nandi, we're happy right now. Why are you digging up all of this?
Before Sandra died, she told me she saw us in the laundry room.
And I think she recorded us and sent that video to Kim.
That's why Kim was so angry that night.
Listen, that may be so. What does it change right now?
Kim forwarded it to you.
But you didn't say anything about that to me.
Why wouldn't you even wonder who was recording us?
Hmm?
-Nandi-- -No, Jacob.
You know what, Jacob? If…
If you want us to get married,
you better tell me the truth.
I want us to start a life without any secrets, Jacob.
Don't you want that?
[in Zulu] I love you.
[in English] Nothing you've done could change that.
[gentle music playing]
It was an accident.
When Kim sent me that video, I was shocked.
-I went straight upstairs to the roof. -[Kim crying]
[Jacob] Kim was there. She was so angry.
You were lying on the floor, unconscious.
Nandi.
-Nandi. -[Nandi grunts]
[crying] Jacob?
How could you do this to me?
You promised me you were done with her!
You were with her!
Just an hour ago, Jacob, you were with her!
Jacob, you're just a fucking bastard!
You fucking bastard!
Kim, Kim! Kim, can you just stop?
[shouting]
Kim! Kim! Kim!
[Kim] Jacob!
[Jacob] Kim!

[Jacob] Nandi.
Everything I did was for us, for our future.
Even killing Leonard?
He tried to kill me.
It was self-defence.
[dramatic music playing]
Nandi, wait.
Listen… Listen, we can work this out.
Okay? We just need to leave everything behind.
I love you beyond measure.
[phone beeps]
[Nandi breathing shakily]
-[Nandi] Even killing Leonard? -[Jacob] He tried to kill me.
It was self-defence.
You were recording me?
You lied to me, Jacob.
You've lied to me about so much.
You made me believe that I killed Kim.
And you watched me carry all that guilt.
I love you
more than anyone could ever.
Leonard, Sandra, Kim.
You lied about all of them. And that's not love, Jacob!
Listen to me.
So, what? You're gonna betray me?
After everything that I've done?
-You want to trap me into a confession. -Just…
-Get away from my mom! -Jacob! Jacob.
-Just wait! -You step back! You step back!
Whoa! Put that thing down!
You've fucking poisoned her against me. You can't see that I've made her happy!
You love her. Don't do this, okay?
-Hey, Zee! -Zee!
Zee.
Zee, please. Give me the gun!
Zee, give me the gun, please!
-Drop the gun, Zinhle! -Zee.
