Is this Zweli?

[MaB breathes shakily]

Yeah, Zwelihle.

[Kat] You were right, Lungile.

The Lord does work in mysterious ways.

Amen.

Uh, listen, sir. [inhales sharply]

I was going to offer you something to drink,

but we don't drink alcohol.

No, it's okay.

I don't drink alcohol anymore.

I now enjoy consuming drinks that are nonalcoholic.

-[chuckling] Oh, okay. -[Kat] Mmm.

[Lungile] Well…

Zweli.

Hey, I've been looking for ya.

You are hard to find.

You are a needle in a haystack, bro.

But I was lucky and ran into this man

and he said you guys are very close.

Yeah.

Why would you be looking for me?

[chuckles]

I'm investigating something.

I'm investigating a heist.

[breathes shakily]

What is this, though?

Do you recognize that man?

Babalwa? Do you?

If it wasn't for this man,

you'd be pushing up the daisies,

with the weight of the earth on your chest,

while people sing hymns at your grave to bid you farewell.

Uh-uh. No.

If you're thinking that my wife is involved in this,

nah, there is no way.

Of course.

She's Gabriel's friend after all, the angel of God.

She wouldn't do it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[MaB panting]

Kat.

Kat! [panting]

S-S-So Tebza, Tebza wasn't the finger.

It was you all along.

[inhales sharply] Kat, if I were the finger,

if I were the one who did this heist, Palesa would've had the surgery by now.

The person who screwed you over is the guy who goes by the name of Razor.

And right about now, you're busy planning another heist

with that stupid, ignorant boy Zweli in there.

[inhales sharply] Kat.

I know you've got a personal vendetta against me,

-but please, please... -Twenty-one.

Hear me?

Twenty-one people were promoted over me.

Understand?

While I watched it happen.

Babalwa, ever since you accused me, me of being corrupt.

I wasn't accusing.

I was telling the truth. You were corrupt.

Oh?

I guess I'm the one with the truth now, right?

You're gonna go in that house right now and tell that boy,

that idiot in there, and tell him that tomorrow,

that he had better drag his skinny ass down to the police station.

There's something I want to discuss with him.

Do you hear me? Here's your assignment.

Go and give your daughter a long good night kiss.

It's going to be a while before you see your daughter.

I know you'll never talk,

but all I need to do is to take this little boy of yours and…

[clicks tongue]

…get him to confess that you both did that heist,

and by doing that, I'll be finished.

[dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

[vehicles passing]

[door opens]

Zweli.

Yeah.

Thank you for honoring my request.

That's good, the law will always take it's course.

Okay?

Let's not complicate things.

Give me Babalwa.

I'll give you Razor.

[sighs]

Listen here, Zweli.

I, as Kat, I know that you are planning a heist.

[thuds]

[scoffs]

Okay, young man.

[sucks teeth]

-Who do you think you are? -Hold on, hold on. What?

What? Why are you holding me like that?

-[officer] Hey, come here, you. -What-what did I do?

-You're gonna know us well today. -[thuds]

-[screams, grunting] -[blows landing]

[Zweli] You're hurting me! [groaning]

-[blows landing] -[Zweli grunting, screaming]

[bell tolling]

Well, Reverend…

I'm sorry I haven't been myself at all.

I just don't understand why Palesa still has cancer.

The surgery for Palesa…

Is on the 26th of November.

[inhales sharply]

So I was thinking that maybe…

Babalwa was right about the fundraiser.

Seems like your faith is wavering.

Maybe Jehovah is challenging you just like he did to Job.

But maybe this fundraiser

will be a true sign of our faith…

To show our diligence.

Working together with the Lord,

so he blesses us in his own way.

[sighs]

It could be a good offering, a worthy tithe.

Ten percent of that money will go to the church.

[inhales sharply] So that God's congregation can benefit too.

Yeah, hey, well, when you put it like that, hey,

I completely get you.

My brother, I hear you.

I hear you.

Why didn't you tell the police what they wanted to know?

Fuck the police.

If it was up to me, I would shoot them all down.

[sighs]

Baba G…

Wasn't my biological father.

Yeah.

My biological father worked for Baba G.

Together, they used to do heists.

That's what…

That's what put food on the table.

Those people were…

They were professional.

They didn't ever make mistakes.

They took care of themselves.

Until…

That guy, Amkhela, started overspending,

showing off his money.

Then one day…

I was about twelve.

The police showed up…

[shakily] …at our place.

When they arrived, they shot my father,

and they killed him…

In front of me.

[sniffles]

That's why… [inhales sharply]

…Baba G, he took me in.

So that he could honor my father.

So now I want to do the same thing.

I have to honor Baba G by getting justice for him.

But not through the cops.

Not through the cops!

But how are you gonna do that now?

I'm gonna do a robbery…

So I can get money to hire some hit men.

I'm not a bad person.

It's just the world I was raised in.

I have to get revenge for Baba G.

And kill Razor, before he kills me.

Do whatever it takes.

Better kill all of them.

[sighs]

And then?

[Zweli] Don't ask.

He wants me to burn you.

I hand you over and he'll give me Razor.

But relax, I told him I don't deal with fucking pigs.

And so just like that, he let you go?

There's no evidence.

But this guy wants you, bro.

He wants you badly.

And we cannot do this heist with this guy still around.

-No, Zweli. -Relax.

Amkhela and I will deal with this thing.

We can't kill a policeman.

We won't be able to do this heist with that pig still alive.

And you know it.

Remember that you're a beast now.

You have to do whatever it takes.

We can't kill a policeman.

If that's the case, we won't be able to do this heist then.

And if we don't do it,

just know that this is on you.

I will think of something.

[clicks tongue]

[kettle whistles]

[heart monitor beeping]

[sighs]

[grunts]

[gulping]

How are things going on your side?

There's been talks of layoffs, so I've been keeping a low profile.

-And the codes? -I'm still busy.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get them.

Zweli, you need to focus on the mission.

It's not the time to be having fun with Nelisa.

Guys, let's remember why we're doing this now.

Life hasn't been kind to us at all.

It's time for us to return the favor though.

-Too slow! Come, Tatenda! -[clapping hands]

There are a lot of steps at Iron Watch!

The generator is far,

so you need to sprint the steps to get to it!

[stopwatch beeps]

[sighs] Three minutes, 30 seconds.

-[sighs] Not good enough. -Mm-mmm.

Tatenda, you have two minutes to get to that generator.

Otherwise, all of us here are going to jail.

[panting]

Three, two, one. Go!

-[timer beeps] -[Tatenda panting]

I need you two to go out there and act like the police.

Just so you get a feel of it.

Remember, guys, that the whole plan is dependent on you,

to convince the guards that you're the police for real.

[scoffs] Yoh.

[Tebza] Let's go! Let's go, Tatenda, let's go!

He's slowing down.

Come on, Tatenda!

["Usisi Oyedwa" playing]

[panting]

[timer beeps]

It's better.

[panting]

[MaB] Nice, Tatenda. You need to go again!

[exhales sharply]

-[music continues] -[no audible dialogue]

[no audible dialogue]

[music continues]

[no audible dialogue]

And the time?

One minute fifty.

We're all set. I faked approval to shut down the tower.

Yeah, me too.

Nelisa is going to invite me soon to meet the parents.

So the codes… [chuckles] …are gonna be mine.

-The masks? -An old friend of mine made these for us.

-We're in a good place. -Mm-hmm.

This heist is going as planned.

Listen, from now on, I don't want to see any other guard in this vault.

Access is only granted to you and me, are we clear?

I understand, sir.

I just don't understand why this is necessary.

[inhales deeply] Well,

ever since I heard that damn policeman talking about a finger,

I've been paranoid.

Better safe than sorry, right?

[scanner beeping]

Were you at the university registering for next year

or just using my card on hotels again?

-Oh, I can give you your card back. -Please can we not fight, I beg you.

She's pissing away a chemical engineering degree.

Yeah, but Daddy, you agreed I could take a gap year

if I finish the year cum laude, right?

That was two years ago, Neli.

You know your lecturers say you're a genius,

and you're squandering it.

And the suitcases?

What? You kicking me out?

Your mother and I are attending a summit in Mpumalanga.

But thanks for the idea.

You have the house to yourself.

-Maybe stay at home for a change. -[Zechariah] Yeah.

[inhales deeply] I'm going to my room.

-[tapping] -[spouse] Mmm.

[sighs]

[phone beeps]

[banging on door]

[MaB] And now?

[banging continues]

Hey!

-[Lungile] Wait, wait, wait… -[MaB] What?

-Kat! -What is this?

Piss off. [sighs]

[slurring] I've lost my job now.

I'm unemployed now. No job!

But I promise you, woman, I swear…

It's not over.

You.

You think you have a wife?

You call this thing a wife?

She's a slut. She's a sneaky one, at that.

She does heists.

Right?

Does he know you do heists?

It's either you are involved, or we can say,

maybe you are a slow, ignorant, stupid man,

if I'm honest.

If you can't see…

He can't see.

He can't see either way.

Fuck you.

-Let me make you a cup of coffee. -Move, I don't need coffee.

[lock clicks]

He's just drunk.

[Zweli] Yoh.

I'm telling you… [sighs] …this house is amazing.

Like really, h-how much does your dad make?

[scoffs] Enough to be a dick about it.

And if he found you here, yoh, man, we'd be in trouble.

-We'd be on loud speaker. -Uh-huh?

[chuckles] He would murder you.

So how about you just, uh…

You know, just, introduce me to your parents then?

So that we can stop this sneaking around.

[sighs] Well, we're not that serious.

Are we?

Let's go.

[both chuckle]

-[Zweli] Oh, the things you say… -[chuckles]

This right here is my dad's office.

Yeah. Uh, but I'm sure that laptop over there…

This laptop, there's no way there isn't any porn in there.

-[groans] -He's probably into those weird fetishes

-where people suck each others toes… -Ew!

[both chuckle]

…and wear masks and things like that, right?

You're so disgusting.

And no, my dad is, like, the least coolest person on this planet.

So you're telling me that there's nothing here?

How about you put in the password and prove it to me.

Guess it.

[both chuckle]

Mm-hmm.

So, it's my name and my birthday.

See? Aw, baby photos.

There's nothing here.

-[chuckles] -But I've got a great collection.

Let's go upstairs.

Uh-huh?

[footsteps approaching]

[inhales deeply]

It is my gun from work.

But you've never brought it home before.

Yes, but I just wanted to make sure that our home is protected.

I'll take it back to the station.

[sighs]

Hey! What the fuck? Who are you?

-No, no. Listen, old man. -What are you doing in my house?

-[stammers] Um, okay, listening? -Hey!

-I can explain. -[Nels] Wait!

-Dad, you don't understand. -What the hell is going on here?

Nelisa, what's going on?

Uh, guys. Let me introduce you to…

-This is my boyfriend. -Your boyfriend?

This thug is your boyfriend?

Neli has a boyfriend?

I didn't know.

You have a boyfriend, Neli?

-Speak! -Okay, okay. Just relax.

Zweli.

Did you get the codes?

You know the heist is tomorrow?

Relax.

I've been invited to lunch.

So I can meet her parents respectfully in the right way.

Today, I'll come back with those codes.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[door opens]

What happened?

[sighs]

He hurt his foot during practice.

But I'm fine, I can make the run.

[grunts]

[winces]

[winces, groans]

I'm fine, guys. I'll make it.

We've come too far.

[Amkhela] Yeah, plus, everything is in place.

[Tatenda] Everything except the codes.

[Ntsiki] Yes, the codes.

What did Zweli say?

[door closes]

Mmm. Ma'am.

Wow, the food you've prepared smells really good.

And this house…

[exhales sharply] …it's so beautiful.

Well, I can safely say that,

I had a hand in only one of those things you mentioned.

[spouse, Zweli chuckle]

So what do you do?

-Uh… -[Zechariah] As in work? What do you do?

Where do you work?

Where are you employed?

[sighs] It's just that I…

At the moment sir, I'm…

I'm actually still

-trying to look for work. -Geez.

No surprises there.

-Mtimande. -No, no, no.

I've just been asking myself what our Neli does the entire day.

Meanwhile, she's out and about messing with this boy.

Two unemployed soulmates.

Oh, wow.

But Daddy, this is not a way to treat our visitor.

You know what I was taught when I was a young boy?

Is that a man must work for a living.

That's what I was taught.

I was raised to believe that…

There are things more important than money.

You know why?

Because money can be lost.

But that's why, personally, right now I believe that I'm rich in grit.

And courage.

Also…

[footsteps approach]

I'm rich in love.

-Hey. -[snaps fingers]

Scoundrel, what about the food?

How do you put food on the table?

Yeah. Yes, thank you.

[sighs] Well…

You will correct me then if I am wrong.

But there's food right here, in front of me.

Isn't there?

Things have a way of working out.

-And I've also learnt that… -Thank you.

…life is meant to be lived to the fullest.

Well, if I may please be excused.

Uh, I need to use the… the bathroom.

-Oh, um… when you go up the stairs and... -It's okay, ma'am.

I already know where it is.

[punching keys]

What are you doing?

Hey.

[sighs]

[clears throat] Uh…

[smacks lips] Uh, I was just…

I needed to do something

on the computer.

Hey, hey.

-[shushes] -[whimpers]

[whispering] Listen to me.

I don't want to hurt you or your family.

All I need are the access codes

-to the Iron Watch vault. -[whimpers]

The only thing that stands between me and avenging my father

are those access codes.

[Nels breathing shakily]

I'm going to let go.

I'm gonna let you go, but if you scream,

you'll be putting everyone at risk, understand?

Mm-hmm.

[crying]

[breathing shakily]

So, the robbery?

The robbery from before…

Is this it?

[sobs] Am I the robbery?

[whispers] Babe.

It's complicated.

It's complicated?

-You used me. -[shushes]

So this whole thing was not real, Zweli?

Yes.

Only at first.

This thing that you and I have,

is the real thing, okay?

I've never experienced anything like it.

Nelisa. Nelisa.

-[breathes shakily] -Please.

I have to deal with the people who murdered my father.

And when I'm done…

Once I'm done, you and I, you and I will build something.

Baby… [chuckles] …we'll be free.

You have five seconds to leave.

[softly] I won't be able to leave before getting those codes.

[Nels] Four…

Three…

Babe.

…two…

Sure.

[breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily]

[crying softly]

[exhales shakily]

[breathes shakily]

Oh, wait, what happened?

Did Zweli leave now?

[Zechariah] Let me guess.

Your street-lover boy has had enough of us.

-Good riddance. -[breathes shakily]

That boy even smells like the gutters of the hood.

Wow.

Come on, Neli.

Did you really think that boy would take care of you?

How? How was he going to take care of you?

Was he going to buy you a house with courage and a car with grit?

Is it wrong to understand who you are?

You're a narcissist and a classist who doesn't care about anybody but you.

If there's anyone at this table who's a crook, you win that.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

[breathes deeply]

If you choose to continue with this nonsense here…

Just know that the decision was yours…

To bring our relationship to an end.

Palesa must get the surgery.

She'll die, Lungile.

That's something I will not allow.

Who are you?

Where's your faith?

[dialing]

[line rings]

[phone buzzing]

[sighs]

[ringing continues]

-[line connects] -Did you get the codes?

-Um, it's just that... -[phone chimes]

[clears throat] Yeah.

Yeah, sure. I got the codes.

You can relax, we're good.

[sighs]

Great.

[sighs]

[sighs]
