Previously on "Average Joe"--

- Save her life and it's yours. - All right.

Why did you have a $70,000 watch hidden in our luggage?

Where did you get this? - I bought it.

Trying to take your advice

and think of Imani more than myself.

Imani. Go.

I need you to keep an eye on Phyllis and Imani.

- I got you. - I had a heart attack.

Your father did CPR on me for 57 minutes.

We are investigating some Americans.

We're gonna need to share information on this.

Absolutely.

When the shadow has passed,

you will have paid us 40 million U.S. dollars.

There's this bar, it's called R Jay's Cove.

This is how you get in.

Bar is closed.

The bar's still closed if I have one of these?

Come with me.

Cathy.

What are you doing in my house?

Where's the rest of my goddamn money?

That's my money. I saved your life.

Well, that was your mistake.

There was over $330,000 in this Hefty.

How much is left?

Yeah. I--I don't know.

I--I haven't been keeping track.

Well, I have.

The Cybertruck, new pool,

fucking Viking gas grill in the backyard.

Come on. That Viking is amazing.

I learned how to make grilled pizza.

I use a poolish--

Where is the rest of my money?

OK.

Just--

Wait. No, no. Just--

What?

Fuck is this shit?

That's a Liam Ni-san NFT.

It don't even look like Liam Neeson.

No, it's not. It's Liam Ni-san.

He's a Japanese Liam Neeson.

Guy at the hobby store said it's a great investment.

One of a kind, so--

Now it's a none of a kind.

Don't do that.

Shit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop. Whoa.

Just a--

It's a-- it's cheap knockoff anyway.

Oh-ho-ho, don't bullshit me, Doolittle.

This is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

It's easier to buy a white baby than one of these watches.

Oh, yes.

Consider it a down payment on what you owe me.

Stop.

Or I'll call the police.

You wanna use my phone?

You got as much to lose as I do.

Hey, give me back the watch.

I thought you said it was a cheap knockoff.

Get your fucking hands off me!

Don't make me do that again.

You won't.

You dead?

Yeah, you're dead.

♪ I keep on telling you when ♪

♪ You don't come home from nights out ♪

♪ I will be kicking you out ♪

♪ I keep on telling you when ♪

♪ You keep on running around ♪

♪ I've had enough of these games ♪

OK easy, but just guns down.

I said guns down!

These men didn't bring the police here.

Amahle, how do you know this?

Because this one is Teddy's son.

You three, follow me.

Let's move.

Thank you. Nice to meet you.

OK, ladies and gentlemen.

We need you to do as we say. Get to the back.

The back, now. Go.

- Go ahead. - Go! Hey!

Hey, come on.

Do as I say. Listen!

Start in the back. - Yeah.

Search this shithole from top to bottom, eh?

- Mm. - Hey, don't be shy.

Move! Move!

Get to the back.

Move! - Get up.

- OK. - Move.

Do as I say.

- Move. - Come, come.

- Move. - Move.

All righty.

All righty, hey.

So who wants to talk first, eh?

It's not much, but it's sanctuary for the moment.

The walls are reinforced and soundproof.

Look, I don't like lying to my people.

Those men and women have been

chewed up and spat out by the city,

caught between corrupt politicians, the police,

violent drug gangs.

They would never call the police here.

Then why the fuck are the police outside the door?

Teddy told me that you're a plumber.

Right?

I think that would mean

that you would recognize when you've got a leak, Bubba.

Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck.

Who else knew we was gonna be here?

You think Phyllis ratted us out?

He's not talking about Phyllis.

Cathy?

No.

- Yeah. - No.

You heard her back at the house, right?

She put--she put herself in harm's way for Imani.

For us.

She played us, Lee.

She made nice, she sent us packing,

and then she called the fucking cops.

Yeah. - You guys know her.

She wouldn't--not--

to me?

No fucking way.

I left Imani unprotected with her fucking ass, man.

Oh, shit.

You're right. And Phyllis.

We got to warn the girls, Joe. - Fuck.

5,000 rand for the first one who can tell me

where these Americans are hiding.

Nothing, huh?

Suddenly, we're all silent, huh?

Come on.

What about you?

Huh?

Can't you speak, old man?

No.

Not without a tongue, he don't.

Hey, man.

What kind of fucking bar is this?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for lying about the heroin.

I'm gonna take care of your sister, Joe.

You don't trust that.

I can't start over.

Fuck. Straight to voicemail again.

Yeah, mine, too. All right, that's it.

Hey, step aside. Let's go.

- Uh-uh. - What?

We wait for the all-clear sign.

Might be too late for that.

You're the one who brought the cops here,

whether you meant to or not.

Look, if you go out there now, Joe,

it's not only you who's going to jail.

They will arrest every single one of my people for harboring.

You're all American. You'll be fine.

But they will not.

I am not asking you, OK?

I am telling you we are going through that door.

I am gonna count to three.

You understand?

One...

two...

hey, hey, hey, hey. - Fuck.

I wouldn't get to three if I were you.

Touch, it's a gun at your dick.

Yeah, I'm very aware of that, Joe.

Thank you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK.

Take it easy.

Yo, yo, yo. Take it easy. Take it easy, man.

Come on.

Fuck happened to you?

She happened.

Take me to Sipho.

He is busy.

Not for me, he isn't.

I'm the fucking answer to his prayers.

Open the gate.

Lady wants a word.

What is this?

Mm?

Are we doing takeaways now? Is this a restaurant?

She jacked Thato at gunpoint.

Made him bring her here.

This is all she had on her.

What do we have here?

Consider it a tribute to my new business partner.

And why do you think I need a new business partner?

Because you want the girl.

And what girl are we talking about?

Really?

The one you turned the whole city upside down looking for?

Teddy's daughter, Imani.

Uh-huh.

I know where she is.

You don't believe me, ask Ike Turner over there.

She was at the carnival

with the girl and the other Americans.

See?

I come to you, I come correct.

And if you have the girl,

why didn't you bring her directly to me?

If I brought Imani here, I'd be dead already.

And I don't wanna be dead.

I wanna be rich.

I want 10 million for her.

Is that all?

Considering her value to you, it seems fair.

Fair.

And tell me, what does fair have to do with anything?

If you have the girl, I will give you 1 million, U.S.

8.

2.

How about you meet me halfway?

5.

Come on.

Don't be an Afri-can't when you can be an Afri-can.

You are very funny.

Mm.

You're a very clever girl.

$2 million is what you will take,

or things will go very badly for you moving forward.

OK.

Kill this misogynistic piece of shit and we got a deal at 2.

You want it done?

Do it yourself.

No. No, no, it's OK.

She shoots me, she doesn't get paid.

And with a woman like this, it's all about getting paid.

Well, it's sometimes about getting even.

Mm.

But you know me so well already.

I'm gonna need that cash up front.

OK, ladies, cops are here.

I want you--hey, man.

The hell kind of kitchen is this, man?

Guys, look!

Man, don't just stand around!

Man!

Hey, there's nothing here. Let's go.

Out. Let's go. Get out. Let's go.

Guys, come on.

Kitchen clean?

Oh, no, that's not the word that I would use,

but, uh, there's no one back there.

No.

If I find out

that you were all lying to me...

I'm coming back.

I'm burning this fucking place to the ground.

What's your name again?

Amahle.

Amah... ,

there are some good women out there.

And if we don't move fast, they're gonna get hurt.

Look, I'm sorry to hear that, OK?

But I will not sacrifice my people to save yours.

If you're so worried about your people,

why are you helping us out?

Simply clearing a debt.

Your father saved my mother's life.

He took us out on one of his fishing charters.

And halfway through the trip, my mother started to feel ill.

We just thought that it was motion sickness.

But then she collapsed.

Heart attack.

And let me guess.

Teddy did CPR, saved her life, something like that?

Exactly like that.

He told you? - No.

But I heard the story before.

What does your mother do?

Like for work?

Customs down at the shipping yards.

Why?

Just curious.

I think Teddy was using her mother

to get the drugs out of Cape Town.

No doubt.

Probably using Billy G's to clean that money.

Motherfucker.

- Guys, we're clear. - Let's go.

Where are we going now?

Teddy left you one last surprise.

Holy shit. Joe.

That looks just like your old car.

Right.

Like the train set, same kind of bullshit.

Teddy fucking head games, that's all the fuck this is.

He'd gone paint a beater

and try to make it look like it's my old car,

and I'm supposed to get all sentimental and shit.

Fuck outta here.

All right, gentlemen, this is how you get out.

Holy shit.

I like what I see.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Lee, what are you doing?

I just, um, I gotta call Cathy real quick.

She's not gonna pick up.

She's gonna pick up.

She's, um--

- She's not gonna pick up. - She's picking up!

She--she really did it.

Yeah.

She, um--she-- she called the cops.

Yeah.

How could she do that?

How could she risk Phyllis and--and Imani's lives?

How could she--

It's all good, we--

we--we still here, brother.

We--we got to get out of here now.

We got to think about us now.

We got to go, guys. I'm sorry.

Come on.

- OK? - Come on, man.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Let's get Phyllis and the money.

There we go.

Let's go.

There we go.

Joe, one last thing.

Some of the people you saw here tonight

work for various food vendors around the city,

and they have been making deliveries

to a specific location, a castle in Hout Bay.

Sipho and his men must be there.

Thanks.

How could you--

I never mentioned Sipho's name.

Why are you giving me this?

Look, again, just repaying a debt to your father.

Are you telling me Teddy's still alive?

Yo, Joe.

We gotta roll, man. Come on.

Thanks.

Oh, fuck. - We gotta roll, brother.

Joe, what's up? What's going on?

- Nothing. - OK, we gotta go, man.

Thank you.

Come on. We got to get to Phyllis and Imani.

Ten bricks per bag.

Each brick contains ten bundles of--

10,000, I know.

And ten times $100,000 is a million, times 2.

So, are we good, partner?

We're golden.

Hey, can you help me with this other bag?

He was my cousin.

I got him this job,

and now I have to tell his mother he is dead.

So that's a no?

Follow me.

You mean follow us.

Funny American.

All right.

Just make yourself at home.

The address.

What's wrong?

No, I'm-- I wanted to check in on Joe,

but I can't find my phone.

Have you--have you seen it?

No.

Would you like me to call it?

Yeah, please.

What? You--you, too?

My phone was here.

I'll call you back.

Fucking voicemail again. Goddamn it.

Fuck. - Jesus, Joe.

Teddy even found the same compass

you used to have in your car.

Fuck outta here.

Another one of Teddy's fucking head games,

that's all that shit is.

Joe, I don't think this is like your first car.

This is your first fucking car.

Fuck it is.

No. Do you remember when I borrowed this after prom?

What?

These marks right here are from Vanessa's stiletto.

This seat doesn't recline all the way.

And we were, you know, getting a little fucking crunched.

Vanessa, your prom date?

Isn't that the chick that had the, uh--

She didn't have fucking sideburns, Lee.

Like fucking Elvis Presley, she did.

Oh.

Get the fuck-- this is my car.

How the fuck would Teddy bring my car to fucking Africa?

To fuck with you.

Fucking working. Shit.

You fucked little Vanessa in my--

I thought you said you was getting beer.

Yeah, and we eventually brought beer back, yes.

Nasty motherfucker.

You-- - So Touch--

did the carpet match the sideburns?

Fuck you, Lee.

You--

you did some nasty shit in here, too?

Mm?

Something I don't know about?

Lee, you all right?

Yeah, maybe there is something

I didn't tell you guys.

You know what?

I might fuck you when this is all over.

I haven't decided.

Well, I can help you with that decision.

Never fucking gonna happen.

I got a man.

What?

The guy you betrayed

for a couple of bundles of money, mm?

How weak he must be.

Hmm?

No, no, no, no.

I have decided.

I'm going to fuck you when this is over.

Trust me, you will enjoy it.

Then Cathy made a deal to sell some of the heroin

she found at Teddy's stash house.

And then I followed her.

You're gonna be OK.

It was a setup.

He shot Cat in the back.

So I had to take him down.

It was only after that that I realized he was a cop.

Wait, what?

Are you talking about that narcotics detective

that went missing a couple months back?

Yeah.

Lee, you killed a fucking cop.

A dirty cop who shot Cathy.

How did you know he was dirty?

- He was-- - See--

Bobby fucking D.

He was dirty and bent as Bill Clinton's dick.

We had a pool to see who was gonna pop that asshole first.

I think his own mother made the list.

That motherfucker won't be missed.

Wait, wait. How did you get rid of the body?

Buried him.

Took me forever to dig a hole, then I hurt my Achilles

trying to drag his dead ass up the hill.

Get the fuck--

Lee, please, tell me that's everything, dog.

Goddamn.

Well, let's see.

Found the heroin, sold the Lambo,

shot a cop, covered it up, hurt my leg.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

You wanna hear something really fucked up?

Cathy's infertile.

Goddamn, nigga.

Why-- why would you tell us that?

Our marriage is over anyway.

Good. Fuck her. She doesn't deserve kids.

Touch.

The fuck? Shit, I'm sorry, man.

I know how much you wanted a baby.

I'm sorry. - Yeah, it's fine.

No, Leon, I mean it. I'm sorry, man.

It's OK.

We're good.

Now come on. Let's step on it, Joe.

Imani's up there.

Hey! I need the key.

Once I have the girl.

Or you can go now, but the money stays.

Fine.

Let's go get this bitch.

You expecting someone else?

You bitch, you.

Listen to me.

You can go straight through the kitchen

all the way to the right.

I'll be right in.

Thank you.

Phyllis, please.

There's no time to argue this, OK?

The man out there is gonna tell you when Sipho is gone,

and then the both of you

need to get the hell out of Cape Town.

Now, the airports, the train stations

are most likely being watched, so you're gonna take this car

and you are not gonna stop driving

until you clear the city.

Do you understand?

Why can't we wait for you?

You don't think you're coming back?

Getting you two out of here, that's what matters.

That's the only thing that matters.

Benjamin, I don't wanna say goodbye.

It doesn't have to be goodbye.

Touch, we got to go.

Yeah.

Look at me. Look at me.

I, um--

As do I.

We gotta go.

Touch, now.

You promised me the girl.

I think he's mad at you, Cat.

Looks like we got Imani and Phyllis out just in time.

You gonna have to tell him where Imani is.

And you're gonna have to get all the way fucked.

Take them both.

Back the fuck up.

So you actually think you are walking out of here.

Stroll out, motherfucker.

'Cause you're gonna put the keys on the table.

Your men are gonna put their guns down

and make a path for me.

And then once I'm ghost,

you can have this sad fool right here.

And tell me, what am I going to do with this sad fool?

Sipho,

meet Joe, Teddy's son,

all the way from the U.S. of fucking A.

You think Imani may know where the heroin is?

I'm sure Joe knows.

Car keys now.

Or I kill him.

The fuck you think is so funny?

You're gonna love this.

You Americans.

Take them.

Take them!

So how many are we looking at?

Counted at least six of them, all with guns.

How do you wanna play this?

Touch, Touch.

What? What?

What's going on with you?

Fucking Joe is what's going on with me.

He had every chance to get the fuck out of Cape Town,

and he passed them all up.

There's something going on with him.

Well, I don't know what's going on with him.

It's just Joe being Joe.

Now we need to help him,

so get your head out of your ass.

OK, OK, OK, fine. You're fucking right.

Look, our best chance was element of surprise, right?

Take Sipho on the street,

but he's got way too many fucking men with him.

We get into a firefight now,

God knows how many people are gonna get hurt.

I don't like this. It's a no-go.

Guess we're going with plan B.

Oh, fuck. Plan B sucks my balls.

Ah, that's what the B stands for.

You got a better idea?

No.

Yeah.

OK, let's go.

Yeah.

Take one long last look at it, Cat.

Hope it was worth fucking dying for.

Did you think you got a coronation

waiting on you, Prince Akeem?

You're just as dead as I am.

What was the point of that?

Yeah, but I'm still fucking alive.

Where's Leon?

Oh, well, depending on Touch's frequent flyer miles,

he could be in first class with a glass of champagne.

Or he could be a coach

with some screaming-ass fucking baby.

But he's OK.

Like you give a fuck.

You turned us the fuck in.

To the police.

Not to this sick fuck.

Mind your business.

You were supposed to be arrested back at that bar

so you could sit out all this crazy shit

safe and sound in a Cape Town holding cell.

I'd have had y'all out of there in no time.

So my sister was supposed to be the only one

kidnapped, tortured, and fucking killed?

Half-sister.

You just don't fucking stop, do you?

That's why you tried to save her, right?

Right? At the carnival?

You weren't trying to protect Imani.

You was trying to protect your fucking payday.

Well, you was gonna cut me out, Joe.

You didn't leave me much of a choice.

I know why you couldn't have a baby.

Leon told me.

Yeah.

He told you he was sterile?

He lied.

He's fine. He's fucking great.

It's you.

You're the one that's fucking sterile.

Ain't that your doubt?

You and God know how fucked up you are.

Imani, Joe has a plan.

Believe that.

To hand himself over to Sipho?

That's not a plan,

That's a death wish.

But he's just trying to keep you safe.

Don't you understand that?

Imani, you're missing the on-ramp to the N2.

No, I didn't.

Imani, Where are we going?

I think Joe lied to me.

Imani, I promise you that when all of this is over,

I will take you myself.

This is never gonna be over.

This is never gonna end.

You can't promise me we were gonna come back, can you?

No, you can't.

I just need to check.

It's not safe at your home right now, OK?

It's dangerous, I know.

Fine. Then I'll drop you off at the train station.

I can't let umama just rot at the house, OK?

She hasn't had a burial. She hasn't had a ceremony.

I can't--I can't-- I can't do it.

OK.

All right, fine.

But we have to be quick.

Sorry about Cathy.

Thanks, man.

That being said...

you could've turn the other way

when we got in the fucking trunk?

Why didn't you?

Well, I could have,

but then we would be dick-to-dick.

Fine.

OK.

Hey, hey.

Christ.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh what?

Uh-oh.

The grenade.

Tell me the fucking pin is in the grenade, Lee.

Well, I can't tell you that.

My hand, however, is on the little lever thingy.

Well that is not a long-term solution.

Well, I realized that maybe if you weren't so homophobic,

we wouldn't be in this mess.

Hey, hey, not wanting to be spooned by you

does not make me homophobic.

I'm just saying if you were more comfortable

in your sexuality--

You need to find the fucking pin.

Yeah, I know that.

It's just too dark and my hands are full.

I can't reach the light on my phone.

Just, you-- just feel around now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hands, hands.

What the fuck?

I can't believe I'm gonna die in a truck in Cape Town

with a fucking grenade on my ass

and your hand all over my dick.

I think you're being a little generous

about your dick placement.

Here.

Can you see anything?

Do you have the pin?

I got it.

OK. Are we good?

We got a couple seconds.

I think we're fine.

You know, your trunk etiquette is for shit.

Shh.

No sudden movements.

Ow.

Get them out, and take the money inside.

Take him downstairs.

And her?

When did the lion last eat?

The American policeman, a day or two ago.

Do it.

Hey. We had a deal!

No.

No.

We did not.

But you know that already,

otherwise, you would not have planted that gun.

You really think you're any better off

than you were this morning?

I have him now.

Teddy never gave two shits about Joe.

Actually faked his death just to get away from him.

You think he would really tell him anything about the drugs?

You sold him as a prize.

And now you are telling me that he is worthless?

With Imani cruising at 30,000 feet...

I'm the prize.

Do you ever stop talking?

No, she does not.

This bitch is exhausting.

Fuck you, Joe.

I helped Teddy steal your heroin.

What?

700 kilos.

Well, actually, 699 now.

I had one of them tested.

Congratulations, by the way. You got some real pure shit.

Or should I say...

we do.

You have my heroin?

Stole it.

Right from under Teddy's dumb ass.

See, I know Teddy better than anybody.

Even his own blood.

She's working you, Sipho.

Don't understand why

don't nobody see through this bitch shit.

If you have my heroin, where is it?

You want information?

I wanna renegotiate our deal.

It's in a locker in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I got it.

You just need me to facilitate it, that's it.

You're telling me you have my heroin?

Yeah, I got it.

Teddy wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

You expect somebody to believe that you're in the loop?

Locker 1628.

Oh, you are reaching, Joe.

You better get this one right, Sipho.

Especially with the Afghans breathing down your back.

And you know how they dance.

They dance.

Take her upstairs for now.

We'll find out which one of them is lying.

Hmm?

And kill the other one.

Slowly.

Yes, sir.

We're coming for you, Joe.

I think we--

we can't leave her-- we can't leave her here.

I have a friend at, um,

Mosaic Funeral Services.

And I think she can help us.

I just--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh, don't do that.

There we are.

OK?

Now, ladies...

I'd really appreciate it if you put those knives down.

Gently put the knives on the floor.

Now, please come with me this way.

Come on.

That's it. That's it.

Keep going.

Keep going. Keep going.

Niggas got your own prison, huh?

Get in.

Why don't you just kill me already

and get this shit over with

instead of putting me fucking in here?

You are going to wish.

Go.

I'm gonna be looking for you, motherfucker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope you do, motherfucker.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Teddy.
