Will you do the thing tonight?

I told you I can't any more.

I didn't gamble last night.

- I know.
- I'm fighting it.

The baby? What happened to the baby?

Were you gonna tell me?

Nope. Wanna fight about it?

Yep.

I've put you through enough, B.

If you tell me to leave it,
then I'll leave it.

Just to be clear,
you are this close from losing me.

I checked on the lawyer.

He used to represent Macky Hofmeyer.

If I see you again,
I'm calling the police.

You really need to learn who
your friends are.

I said he was dark-skinned.

So you'd recognise him again?

Maybe. Yes.

Why would you do this?

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Daniel ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Hell of a party--

For a six-year-old.

I booked out the aquarium for him.
Whole aquarium.

That's nice, hey?

None of his friends are gonna get
whole aquariums for their birthdays.

Well, I brought him this.

A telescope.

Remember what Dad used to say?

Keep your feet on the ground and--

Reach for the stars.

How's England?

It's fine.

I'm uh, thinking of coming back.

Why?

You're doing well there.
There's nothing for you here.

It's difficult for Olivia.
She's worried you're gonna tell him--

That I'm his mother.

No... She is his mother now.

Andrew... just...

Can I just say happy birthday to him?

Maybe next time.

- Ja, sorry about that.
- Go Daniel!

Well, we just have to explain to him
that he's in our universe now.

Come on, Danny, you're almost there!

- Look, I'm gonna...
- Dad, he's won.

I'm gonna text you because
I actually can't hear a thing.

- Dad? Dad.
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Daniel just won.

He beat everyone dad.

Yeah.

["Captain My Captain" by Haezer
feat. Fade Orange]

♪ Oh Captain, my Captain ♪

I think you should leave. Now.

I'm waiting for Mechanic.

They're coming to kill you.
You need to leave.

I'm waiting for Mechanic.

Did Hofmeyer come here
and actually threaten you?

Yes. No, I don't know.

If Hofmeyer has a gunman on his payroll...

Daniel just told the world
that he can identify him...

Why is he not answering?

- She just doesn't stop.

Daniel, I really think you should
give the money back.

Jamie, they're not gonna come
after me again.

There's too much heat on me now.
I'm too high profile.

Daniel, we don't need the money.

I'm not going to Oxford.
I'm staying here, where we belong.

Dad wanted that scholarship, not you.

Yes, I do want it.

So what then? You're just gonna go?
Leave me here alone?

What is your problem?
Why do you have to be like this now?

Why can't we just talk?

Because you never listen.

I used to be able to count on you.

We didn't have anyone but each other.

We still don't.

We made decisions together, Daniel.

Well, it seems like you want to
make all the decisions now.

Because you make bad ones.

Like telling the world you can
identify the killer.

And you? Do you make the right
decisions every time?

Yeah. Run away, Daniel.
That'll solve everything.

Can I just eat in peace?

Fuck! Shit!

Maybe he just doesn't want to
speak to you.

I'm calling the police. Ow!
Maybe they'll be there before we are.

I'm gonna start the car.

Daniel!

- Daniel, get up! Daniel!

Daniel, get up! Daniel,
come on, come on! We've gotta go!

Daniel, we need to get out.
No, Dan, we need to go.

- We need to go.
- Okay, okay.

Okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- I love you.
- I love you.

We're gonna be okay, okay?

- Okay let's go.

Holy shit. Stop the car!

Are you okay? What's happened?
You okay?

Okay. Okay.

- I don't wanna die.
- Alright, alright.

Okay. You alright?
Look at me. Look at me. You okay?

You alright?

I swept the place.
There's no one inside there.

He's probably just hiding,
waiting for you guys to leave.

He has to be inside.

Did you see him?

He's wearing a balaclava.

Jamie slashed the guy with
a rake, but he's still out there.

This was because of the interview.

Why didn't you tell us that you
could identify him?

I didn't actually mean it.
I didn't even see anyone.

But why say something...

You put yourself in danger, Daniel.

They were calling me a racist, Edie.

I have that interview this weekend.
You know how important that is.

I had to say something. I told them
there was someone else.

This laaitie's stupid, man!

Hey! Look, it could be Hofmeyer.

Threaten the kids get you to back off?

Copy that. There's no sign of him.

Where's Detective Bell?
I tried to reach him.

Detective is on a lead.

What kind of lead?

- It's police business.
- About this case?

I don't know. Maybe.

This is the second time that somebody's
gotten into this house with a gun.

Sir, no one saw him. Okay. My hut is in
front. He couldn't have come past me.

Somebody must have seen something.
He's not invisible.

They should come to my place.

It's okay. We can book a hotel somewhere.

Rubbish. You're coming to Avi's.

And you're going to have a hot bath
and a proper supper

and then you're both going to
sleep safe tonight.

You don't have to like it.
You don't have to like me.

But that's what we're going to do.
So come on.

We're gonna get some of your things.

- Hang on. My phone's going.

It's the hospital.

Hello. Edie Hansen.

Olivia has woken up.

Thank you, sir.

I don't know how to thank you,
but... thank you.

Mom?

Mom.

She isn't speaking yet. She has limited
movement in her upper body.

She's aphasic, which means that the
words are in her head

but they can't quite come out yet.
Sort of like her system is rebooting.

- How long will it take?
- It's unpredictable.

She's reaching for you.

They nearly killed me...

You had fun, nГ©?

You were supposed to meet me.

I saw those guys go in, so I thought,
"No, let me wait a bit,

see if you had backup".

Good for the police to know what it's
like to be hunted, nГ©?

My little brother was caught with a car.
He is a good boy.

Maybe you can help him.

First my business, then yours.

The Bishopscourt shooting, was it a hit?

I can tell you who didn't kill him.

Yeah?

Neighbourhood rats, they don't go to the
Bishopscourt to mess with the rich people.

Then who?

Some white guy wanted a cannon.

Don't smoke in my car.

- My guys will pick me up here.

So this white guy... Is it Macky Hofmeyer?

I don't know. He's a middle-aged guy.
Nice clothes. Money.

Who did he find?

No one I know.
Maybe he found someone closer to home.

Definitely a professional.

Not some scum from the rank.

Where do I look for him?

So you want me to do your
job for you now, Forty, huh?

Fucking please.

This Hofmeyer, is he a big player?

Construction.

This is in-house.

Look at his payroll, who works for him,
maybe you know someone else

that knows someone else.

That it?

Okay, thanks.

Forty, Forty...
You had a long day. Have a hit.

I don't need it.

Forty! I like you.

We need to let her rest.

Okay.

Um... please can I stay a bit longer?

I'll take an Uber back.
Please, just ten minutes.

Okay.

Where must I get a piano?

And then next week,
when you wanna play the violin

then what must I do?

Hey. It's okay. I'm fine.

Everything's gonna be all right.

What is this I hear about a piano?
Hmm? Huh, little Missy!

And you my angel, what do you want?

- She wants help with her homework.

Mm-mm.

How far are you?

I'm good, my teacher said
I got all my sums right.

Oh, that's very good.

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- You can make your beds here.

You alright? You want something to eat?

No, thanks.

Well, if you need anything, just shout.

He's settling in.

You should have seen
that look he gave her.

- Daniel?
- Yeah. To Jamie when she stayed behind.

He's jealous of her relationship
with Olivia.

I think you may be reading into that.

Olivia reached out for her, not him.

She completely left him out in the cold.

She's their mother.

What?

I need to go and see Forty.

You're joking.

We have to fix this.
Macky Hofmeyer is still out there.

Unreal.

Can I borrow your car keys?

- Yeah, they're on the hook.
- Thanks.

I'm sorry I've always been such a
disappointment to you.

I'm sorry I can't be more like you.

But maybe I can try.

Maybe we can start over.

Daniel and I can take care of you.

You'll see.

Berenice?

I need him.

Wow.

I come here when I can't sleep.

Someone got into the kid's house.

With a gun.

Maybe to kill Daniel. Maybe to scare me.

And Hofmeyer came and tried
to threaten me to my face.

Did you get my message about the lawyer?

Yeah. But I checked.

He only worked for him once,
and it was like eight years ago, so...

And you think you can trust him?

Sooner or later you've got to
trust someone, huh?

Well, wherever we look,
we always come back to this guy.

- Hello, Sir.
- Howzit, howzit?

This is Krisjan, Lucas, two of the best
guys in the company.

How's it guys?
Morgan has briefed you, yeah?

Yeah. Krisjan will drive the kids
to school and back.

Somebody will watch the front door
every day, six hour shifts.

All right, don't let Edie see you.
She doesn't like being looked after.

This is what I think.

I think the investigation was closing in
on your brother.

But who they really wanted was
Macky Hofmeyer.

And if Macky is thinking your brother's
turning state witness...

When I spoke to Banjo,
he said he saw someone that night.

He said a white boy.
But you know, Banjo's old.

He's older than Macky Hofmeyer,
so maybe he meant...

White man.
And you didn't think to tell me?

Oh, yeah, because if I had you'd have
doubled-down on Daniel.

Well, it doesn't matter now.

What I need, is I need to find the guy
that Macky Hofmeyer hired.

That is how we get him.

Great. What do I do?

Nothing. This is my case.
Let me do the lifting.

I can lift, too. I can dig.

I know, but it's good to feel
like a cop again.

Might not be able to beat the system.

But this guy... I can beat him.

What happened to you out there today?

I'm not scared anymore.

Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom, wake up!

Help! Mom! Mom!
Someone help, please!

Mom! Mom, wake up!
Please help! Help!

Mom! Mom, wake up, please!

Get the child out, please.

No! Mom!

- Mom! No!
- Nurse! Call the doctor!

Mom!

Doctors say it's not uncommon.
Somebody wakes up from a coma

it's a stress on the body.
Sudden stroke, heart attack.

I don't understand.

She was getting better.
She was coming back.

She loved you.

I told her... maybe we could
start again.

She was there and then...

she wasn't.

Uhm, I've hired somebody to
watch you guys.

They'll take you to school,
bring you back.

We'll lock down here early nights.
You'll stay here... All of you.

I don't need a babysitter.

Fine. Then stay here and babysit yourself.

No. The play is on Friday night.
People are relying on us. We're going.

That girl is so single-minded.

People process grief in different ways.
Did you know Olivia well?

Until she called me the other day,
we'd had no contact in 17 years.

Didn't even know she had my number.

I phoned Andrew when I came
back to the country

but he told me to stay away.

Maybe I should have tried harder.

It was Daniel, wasn't it?
The child you gave away. It was him?

I see it in the way you look at him.

I hear it in the things you don't say.

They didn't think that Olivia
could get pregnant.

I was 16.

Who was the father?

Someone from school.

Bad decision.

Andrew persuaded me that they
would be good parents.

That they'd give him everything I
couldn't. A house. Family. Love.

I let them take him from me.

Your brother was...

He was something.

He created his own world.

Then he altered the inconvenient facts.

- So you went to England?
- I ran away.

Ran away to be someone else.

Then... what...
a year later Jamie was born.

Of course.

Good things happen when
you stop trying.

They also happen when you do try.

You'll have to tell him some time.

One day he'll see a birth certificate.

He's just lost his mother.
Must I take her away a second time?

He could be gaining one.

Oh, yeah... "Hey, kid, you know that
awful aunt you've got?

Well, surprise, she's your mother!"

Yes, I think that's exactly how you should
tell him... Or just send a text.

Maybe there's an emoji.

He's your son.

That doesn't mean I'm his mom.

Edie, life doesn't have to be so hard.

You really think that I can be a mom?

I don't know. Maybe not.

Let's try.

There's a good answer.

Edie, I think I can make you happy.
I know I can.

The question is...
Do you want to be happy?

Yes.

- Have you heard about Olivia?

She's, uh...

She's dead.

I'm sorry.

Hey. Let's do this.

It's just me and you, together.

Promise.

Daniel.

Dammit!

Constable Zondo, we've got work to do.

We need to go through the list
of all of Hofmeyer's employees

check everyone on the payroll, cross
reference it with criminal records, and--

Can I have a word?

Are you still investigating the
McKenzie case?

So this is where it happens. Is this now
where we start talking the truth?

Tell me, did Macky Hofmeyer phone you,
or did he go straight to the General?

Forty, you're on thin ice.

Let me tell you the real state of play
of this investigation.

I think Macky Hofmeyer did it,
and I'm gonna bring him down.

Now, the way I see it, and you can help
me if I'm wrong, you have two choices.

You help me bring him down,
and you can come up more or less clean

when all of this comes to light.

Or you stay dirty and when he goes down,
you go down with him.

- Zondo.
- Yes, ma'am?

Detective Bell is suspended
for gross insubordination.

He is removed from active duty
pending disciplinary hearing.

You will be responsible for seeing the
McKenzie case through to trial.

As your first responsibility, please
escort Detective Bell from the premises.

It's fine.

Yes, I want you to fact
check that, because--

Oh, my god, three o'clock.

You piece of shit.

Edie.

That interview nearly got him killed.
Do you know that?

Do you even care?

Ah... It got 73,000 views yesterday.

Did it? Clicks and views?
Not the truth. Clicks and views.

Who the fuck are you all of a sudden?

Because Edie Hansen knows
we sell newspapers.

Oh, sure. We just don't care who
we affect anymore, huh?

It's not your job to care about them.

Your job is to get the story.

Because why?
Because that's how we pay your salary

with clicks and advertising.

Advertising, yes.

I see we're taking advertising
from Macky Hofmeyer now.

We take advertising.

And let me guess, the Bo-Kaap
development story

is going to get a little bit smaller
and a little bit smaller

until it completely disappears.

Spare me your self-righteousness.

I have to make decisions that ensure that
there's still a newspaper next month.

I used to look up to you, Mazneen.

I have a daughter.

What I need is a professional
who knows how to do her job.

No, what you need is my replacement.

Don't say something you'll have to
walk back tomorrow, Edie.

No, you're absolutely right.

So let me be very, very clear
about what I'm saying.

I quit! And furthermore, and
parenthetically and disclaiming all

future rights and remedies,
and in the full appreciation of the

consequences of what I'm about to say

I hope both of you, very professionally,

go fuck yourselves!

- Hey, Greta.
- Hey, Daniel.

I heard about your mom.
I just want to say I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You're being really brave.

If there's anything I can do,
seriously, if you need anything at all

if you wanna talk, or go over lines.
Anything.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Okay, guys, we've got a lot
to get through today

but I am so excited for tomorrow
because tomorrow is opening night!

It's okay, no one will see us here.

Are those the employment records?

Yes, sir.

I got them from De Kock.
He was happy someone still cares.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

We have to cross reference this
against our criminal database.

- We can isolate some--
- Sir, if I may?

How they knew we were still
investigating...

It was me.

Sometimes, I worry about him.

- Keep an eye on him.
- The commander asked me to--

Spy on me?

reopens the case, further
investigations...

She said she wanted to help you.

You're too intelligent to believe that.

Are you married?

I have a wife.

Kids?

You did the right thing.
You need to provide for them.

Go back to work, you were never here.

Get promoted.
Take care of the ones that you love.

They say young men should
fight the system.

But young men have other things to do.

Fighting the system is an old man's job.

If they ask, you say I wanted to help,
and you declined.

I do want to help you.

And you did. Now go.

Go home. Go, go, go.
It's okay.

I'm a very bad driver, Mr. Gatsby.

But a bad driver is perfectly safe
until she meets another bad driver.

How do you drive, Mr. Gatsby?

Hold on, hold on.
Is this the right lighting cue?

Yes.

Okay, fine. Thank you.

Remember Greta, you're not
Gatsby's love interest.

His relationship is with Daisy.

Okay, Miss.

I'm so excited you'll both be
at Oxford next year.

I got to win that scholarship first.

You will. I don't think you actually
know how amazing you are.

Don't know if I'm amazing enough
to play Gatsby, though.

- You are. You're doing so great, really.

I'm pretty nervous, more
nervous for this than the interview.

How long you been here?

I lost you in Wale Street.

This is Avi's doing.

He paid me to take leave
so I could watch you.

Ma'am, he just wants to
make sure you're safe.

Okay, well, you can't sit out here,
can you?

If you're going to babysit, you might as
well do it on a comfy chair. Come on.

- Be back in five, Miss G.

Jamie, I'm so sorry about your mom.

Yeah, you said.

I just... My grandmother died
last year, and it really--

You like my brother, don't you?

Is it obvious?

Yeah, well, it is to me.

Do you think he likes me?

I don't know.

You should ask him.

I hope he does.

Yeah.

Greta? Oh my god, Greta, are you okay?

I think I'm bleeding.

Yeah.

You'll stay away from my brother
unless you want to bleed more.

He doesn't need a skank like you
confusing him.

- Ow!
- Do you hear me?

Yes, yes.

If you try to come between us

you'll bleed more than you can
ever fucking imagine.

Do you want water?

- Yeah, thank you.

Hang on, Forty. You're on speaker.

So no sexy talk, okay?
Because I'm with Morgan Witbooi

and he's watching me like a hawk.

You still want to help you can
come and read through some papers.

Oh, I'm sorry.
That was a one-time only offer.

I have about 1,000 names here on
Macky Hofmeyer's payroll

over the last five years.

We need to cross the reference
that against our criminal database.

Do you feel like a cop, yet?

- Ha ha.

Okay, well, look, come over,
and we'll split it 50-50, okay?

Okay, I'm just going to wrap up
here, and then I'll be there.

Alright. Morgan.

Thank you.

You got a license to carry that off duty?

Yeah, uhm, I used to be in the police.

My ex-wife always told me I should
just sleep with my gun.

I take it everywhere like a girlfriend.

I hate guns.

Yeah, she did too.

What's it like working in Bishopscourt?

Yeah, it's nice.

You couldn't pay me enough to
spend time with those people.

Yeah.

I know their secrets.
I see who comes and goes.

I'll bet.

You don't look great, you know?

You know, before I started working,
I always thought...

it was only poor people who had problems.

Rich people have problems too, man.

They're just like us, they fall
into holes.

When we were small, we used to think
that if you dug deep enough

you could come out in China.

Yeah, us too.

The hole just gets deeper.

Are you sure you're okay?

Can I smoke?

Yeah, of course!

No, no, no, no.

What happened?

Oh, it's nothing.

Let me look.

- This is Edie Hansen, leave a message.

Edie, I've been checking the employment
records for Hofmeyer and McKenzie.

Three years ago, they employed a
Security Guard at their office

goes by the name of Morgan Witbooi.

Let me see. Ooh!
What happened?

It's the same guy.
Morgan Witbooi is the killer.

Morgan it's infected, it's got...

Jamie slashed the guy with a
rake, but he's still out there.

I looked it up once.

Turns out if you dig straight through the
earth from Cape Town you...

you don't get to China,
it's the middle of the sea.

How do you know when your
story is finished?

It's getting cold, we should go in.

You write.

My English teacher, Mrs. Maree,
she always said

you write until your story is finished.

But how do you know when it's finished?

Ma'am, I think my story is nearly done.

- We should go inside.

- Not yet.

Just not yet, alright?

Witbooi.

Banjo said he saw someone.

He thought he saw a white boy.

He was saying your name.

Witbooi.

You shouldn't have gone to look for him.

Move!

You killed Banjo.

He drowned. He was a drunk and he drowned.

You killed the cat.

Ma'am, I just wanted to scare you.

I wanted you to stop looking, all right?

And yesterday, at the McKenzie's house,
you what?

You took off what you were wearing,
and you came to the front door as if you

were answering the call?

When the boy said he recognised me,
he said he saw me,

and I just--

I thought if, if, if I just keep digging,

that I will get to China.

Macky Hofmeyer hired you, right?

He paid you to kill my brother.

Not even close.

I'll help you.
If you testify against Hofmeyer--

It wasn't Hofmeyer, ma'am--

What then?

Mr. McKenzie knew me from when
I worked for him before.

He said he was going bankrupt.

He said he had a housing deal,
but that the police were after him

and even if he helped them,
people will still think that he's a crook.

He said he was trying for so long,
but he was tired.

Tired of what?

Not in the face.

He wanted to die so that
people wouldn't think he's a failure.

Focus on me.

Come on, Morgan. We had an agreement.

Don't worry about them.
They'll be fine.

Come on. Morgan!

You're telling me my brother
paid you to kill him?

He told me what time to be there.

He told me to come alone.

He's the one who opened up the safe to
make it look like it was a robbery.

He's the one who switched off all
the cameras in the house.

Why did you kill Olivia?

I didn't do that. That I didn't do.
Alright?

No one else was supposed to get hurt.

I went through the front.

No one else was supposed to get hurt.

I'm gonna help you.

We're gonna talk to Detective Bell.
He'll understand.

It's too late.

It's not too late. It's never too late.

It's too late.

Ma'am, we're born into this world.

I live there, you live here.

But there are these walls
between us, alright?

The road is already there, and the
ending has already been decided.

That's not true, Morgan.

We can break it. We can escape.

I've tried.

There's no escape.

Oh, Morgan, don't. I'm pregnant.

I swear.

Why would you bring a
baby into this world?

Maybe the world can't change.

But we can.

We can choose to change.

Choose?

Choose? What... what choice?

It just keeps going like a wheel, ma'am.

- It turns, and it turns,

- but nothing changes.

No, it can change!
We can choose to change. We can.

I'm gonna love this baby.

I'm gonna love this baby.
I'm gonna show it how to love.

I'm not going to pass down to it
what was given to me.

I won't. You don't have to either.
Listen to me!

No, no, no.
