You know you are the best, right? Miss English journalist.
You still owe us, clever boy.
I gave you the money.
That was just drug debt. Magiet died because of you.
You think you can take me, yeah?
Come on, bro.
- Hey, bro! - Yeah, you think you can take me, hey?
You're under arrest for the murder of Andrew McKenzie
and the attempted murder of Olivia McKenzie.
I didn't do that.
Your brother approached me about becoming state witness
against his partner.
Two days later, he was dead.
We were backed off the case.
Orders from above.
And whoever killed Dad is still out there.
Daniel.
What if it was someone else and they're coming back?
I'm bad, Avi, I'm bad.
You're better off without me.
I'll be the judge of that.
I shouldn't have come.
Edie!
I'm so sorry, I...
Kids are inside.
Oh, okay.
Told them to come outside and enjoy the day.
But you know, kids.
Yeah, thanks. Thanks Mrs. McKenzie.
It's my birthday today, you know.
Oh, uh, well, happy birthday.
Thank you.
So are you going to have a party or...?
No, my husband's at work.
So I'm just having a party on my own.
I'd offer you some, but you're probably too young.
Well, I've had a drink before.
Bet you have.
Happy birthday, again.
Thank you, Robert.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Just looking.
How's the new step-mom? She looks pretty.
I need to stop smoking. It gives you wrinkles.
You look young, you know.
My kids would be furious if they caught me.
And your husband?
Him too.
Oh, but don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
I appreciate that. It will be our little secret.
I...
Well, I can keep a secret.
Mrs. McKenzie, Mrs. McKenzie.
- Oh, Robert. - Hi!
Hello.
Did you get it?
Thank you. It was lovely.
No one's ever written a poem for me before.
But... you shouldn't.
Smile and wave.
But you should have poems all the time and then flowers and...
You must stop.
Will you do the thing tonight?
Robert, I told you I can't any more.
Mrs. McKenzie, please.
Robert, I can't.
I'll be outside at eight o'clock.
Bye, Mrs. McKenzie.
Bye, Robert.
Where's Avi?
I'm here, I'm here. I'm right here, okay?
Avi, I need to tell you something.
Please, stay still.
I'm here with you. I'm with you, Edie, okay? I'm right here.
Come on, quick, hurry up, please. What's going on?
I thought I'd do the bills.
It's just about okay.
As long as there are no surprises.
I couldn't sleep.
I thought I'd go for a drive.
Maybe I can sleep now.
Miss Hansen, I'm Dr. Halimana. You're going to be okay, okay?
There's not been a lot of bleeding.
You have a mild concussion and some intercostal bruising.
So if you can avoid walking or thinking
for a few days, that would be good.
No moving, no thinking. Doctor's orders.
The baby, what happened to the baby?
The baby's fine.
- Morning, Dad. - Morning, baby.
Don't forget, it's Geraldine's first game today.
First game, yeah, of course.
I'm not nervous.
Neither am I.
I didn't gamble last night.
I know.
I'm fighting it.
I know.
I just need to get my head straight.
I know.
- Bye. - See you.
Those are the worst flowers I've ever seen.
If you keep them in plastic, they stay fresh longer.
My granny's lounge suite, 45 years, not a mark on it.
Someone should wrap us in plastic.
If I lie and tell you that it's someone else's,
will you leave me alone about it?
Is that why you broke up with me?
That and the click your jaw makes when you eat.
Were you gonna tell me?
About the termination or about the pregnancy?
Either.
Nope. Want to fight about it?
Yep.
Yeah, I do.
When you're better.
Thank you.
That's the money you asked for.
Typical. I've got to crash a car
before you put your hand in your pocket.
Let me know if you need more cellophane for the vase.
Wait.
Will you...
Will you sit with me? For a bit.
Oh, Daniel.
Just want you to know I don't believe any of it.
Thanks, Miss G.
Fake news.
Yo. I saw you on the paper.
It's all bullshit, bro.
That's not what your maid said.
She's in jail. They probably offered her money just to say it.
You a racist?
What? What do you think, bro?
Well, I just read like everyone else, man.
You told the policeman that you saw a black guy in your house.
And it was Robert!
You actually didn't see anyone, right?
Or...
Or maybe it was Robert.
But you still went on and you said it was a black guy.
What do you want him to say?
- He saw what he saw. - Jamie.
And you? Did you see what he saw?
- Fuck off, Bongani. - Okay, I'm going home.
Wait, Daniel. Daniel, listen to me.
You have to let people know you're not hiding.
Say to yourself, I'm Daniel McKenzie.
"I'm Daniel McKenzie."
Okay? It's gonna be fine.
Come on. Come on.
- Morning. - Sir?
Crime scene forensics are here.
It came through?
And ballistics yesterday.
So we have the boy and suddenly we have the evidence to nail him.
Suddenly we have everything we need.
One more thing.
What?
Edie Hansen is in hospital.
When I woke up, I didn't think: "Am I alive?"
"How's the baby?"
I don't know what that means.
Well, maybe we should think about it.
I can't have a child.
Avi, I can't. You know, it's not who I am.
Who are you?
I wouldn't be a good mom, okay?
Things go bad around me.
I mean, it doesn't come naturally.
I don't look at babies and go "Aww."
Not every woman has to be a mother.
- That's true. - Not every woman should be a mother.
Agreed!
When I was 16, I gave up my child. I loved him, but not enough.
Edie, you were a child.
I'm still a child.
Agreed.
Detective Bell, why are you always late to the scene of a crime?
What the hell happened?
This is a private ward detective. Is this official business?
I'm here to see Ms. Hansen, if that is all right with you.
As long as you don't try and arrest her.
She is one of the few people you haven't arrested yet.
Goodie, I've never had two men
fight over me in a hospital ward before.
Let me talk to him.
- You and I are still gonna fight. - Count on it.
Detective.
Walk with me.
Someone was in my apartment, and they killed my cat.
- Did you see anyone? - There was a shadow.
But Robert Weber is arrested,
and still someone is trying to chase me away.
Now, I spoke to Macky Hofmeyer yesterday, and then when I get home...
I'm not on the case. I just came to see if you're okay.
Forty, did you know that my brother was
going to turn state's witness against Macky Hofmeyer?
The case is closed. I'm glad you're okay.
You can't run from this.
It's nice and crisp. I like it.
- Yep, yep. - Okay, thank you. Thank you, everybody.
Settle down, please.
Gather round, gather round.
This is the bravest, fiercest cast I've ever known.
Thank you to Daniel. Daniel, stand up.
Who is stepping in as our Gatsby.
Yes!
And thank you to all of you
who are committed to making art in the face of trauma.
You are our future.
All right, we're gonna be rehearsing
lunch breaks, after school, every spare minute.
We've only got a week, people.
So let's start with blocking scene four, Gatsby's entrance.
So first positions, please.
It's the party scene.
So people, people, people, dancing, dancing, dancing.
- Where is my Nick? - Here.
Okay, Bongani. Thank you, Daniel.
Good evening. Are you having a good time?
You don't know who he is.
I haven't met my host yet.
They say that his second cousin to Putin and the third to the devil.
Nick, not too hostile. Nick just thinks he's another party guest.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I haven't been a...
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I haven't been a good host.
I'm Gatsby.
- I'm Gatsby. - Take the line again.
- I'm Gatsby. - No, the whole line.
Uh, I'm afraid I haven't been a...
I'm afraid I haven't been a good host, old sport.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I haven't been a good host, old friend.
Old sport.
Sorry, I haven't been a good host.
I'm Gatsby.
Old sport, I'm Gatsby.
Maybe a mysterious black man made you forget your lines.
Old sport.
Okay. Let's move on, please.
All these women are throwing themselves at you.
Don't forget your heart belongs to Daisy.
Okay, I understand, but can I just take a break?
Oh, well, oh. I mean, little breaks are important of course
but we've only got half an hour.
Okay, thanks, Miss G. I won't be long, I promise, okay? See you now.
Daniel?
Daniel!
Daniel, you just need to focus.
How am I supposed to focus when people think I'm racist, Jamie?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You didn't mind it that much
when they were calling you a killer.
People still give scholarship to killers.
Are you seriously still thinking about doing that?
What are you talking about? You know I am.
Dad wanted this for me. For the family name.
Family name? I swear to God, Daniel,
you're starting to sound just like him.
What's that supposed to mean? What about you, Jamie?
What, are you some big actress now?
All of a sudden, this is your opportunity to grow?
You're blossoming?
Daniel, don't be a dick.
No. You're taking all the attention right now
while Mom is still lying in a hospital bed, Jamie.
You don't need to remind me about Mom.
Who do you think you're talking to right now?
I don't even fucking know anymore.
Hi.
You need to make a retraction.
Fine, I retract everything.
I'm not joking, you need to make this right.
I wish I could.
Edie, I swear to God, if you don't, I will never forgive you.
I don't know what this is about
but can it wait till I'm out of the hospital?
What are you doing here?
I just wanted to see how he got in.
How did you get in, do you have a key?
She left the door unlocked when she ran out last night.
Are you here by yourself? Is this a solo investigation?
What's this?
I was disposing of the cat.
Before the police have a look?
Apologies.
Please feel free to take it for forensic testing.
Throw the full might of the South African Police Force's
technical expertise at it. I'm sure it'll help.
You should know, Detective, I plan to take care of Edie.
Does Edie need taking care of?
We all need someone to take care of us.
You be sure and get me the results
of all those forensic tests you're gonna do.
You okay?
Edie, I know you didn't write that article.
Making Pearl say I'm a racist.
I'm sorry Daniel, it must be Edgar. He's the brown eyed boy there now.
Can you get them to retract it?
I've got as much clout there now as you.
Come. Sit.
Ay, ay, ay.
Edie, do you really think I killed Dad?
I didn't.
I loved my Dad.
I know you did.
Why did you hate him so much?
I didn't.
Okay, I did.
For a while.
Now I just feel sorry for him.
Our father was a...
He was a difficult man.
He was a fantasist, a narcissist.
He liked to control things. People, our mother, us.
Especially Andrew.
And Andrew rejected him. He did, he tried, at first.
Sometimes the things we reject are the things
that claim us in the end.
I don't understand.
It's probably the painkillers.
Here.
It's your money. Get the gang off your back.
Edie...
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Are you sure you should be going home?
Don't make me laugh.
I know what I have to do.
I have to keep up the family name now.
The family name?
What did your dad tell you about the family name?
I mean, he would always tell me and Jamie about our ancestry.
He used to go on about the castle in Scotland.
Oh, right, the castle.
Yeah, and then, well, we lost it.
Then we came to South Africa, but...
Yeah, you're carrying something around
that you don't need to be carrying.
Our dad passed that weight onto Andrew
and Andrew has obviously passed it onto you.
What weight, what do you mean?
We don't have a castle.
No, we do actually.
We do.
Dad used to tell me about it all the time.
He went to visit it when he was studying in Oxford.
He didn't go to Oxford.
What?
We grew up poor in Plumstead.
Our dad came over from England poor and we remained poor here.
Why are you saying this? Why are you lying?
You can look it up.
We grew up not as McKenzie, but as Hansen, okay?
And then when dad left, Andrew took mum's maiden name.
I don't know, because he was trying to create distance or something.
So actually, you're as much Daniel Hansen as you are Daniel McKenzie.
No, I'm not.
You are Hansen.
I am Daniel McKenzie. McKenzie.
If you want. We all get to choose who we are
and then if we're not careful, we become it.
I don't have to sit here and listen to you.
You're lying. I'll make things right myself.
Thanks for the money.
I'm sorry, kid.
Okay, we'll just make sure that everything's set.
All right, so now I'm gonna hear...
Zondo? Forty. Find out everything there is about Avi Kapilevich.
How must I know how to spell it? The bloody lawyer, man.
Yeah, find out everything there is to know about him.
What do you know about Edie Hansen's cat getting killed?
They killed her cat? Oh, no, that's terrible, man.
Mr. Hofmeyer...
I feel we should have had this chat a long time ago.
Where were you on the night of Andrew McKenzie's murder?
It's just a routine question.
I was at a golf day, for Arion Investments.
I got a prize.
Closest to the pin. Hit the nine iron just like this.
That comedian, he did the prize-giving. You know the Jewish one?
I thought this case is closed.
Where were you last night?
Well, I wasn't at Edie Hansen's home killing cats.
Now, is this a professional visit, or is it personal, Detective?
You can call it both.
I want you to know where things stand.
If anything happens to Edie Hansen, you'll be seeing me again.
I thought they made you leave hospitals in wheelchairs.
Look, I don't think your flat is safe anymore.
You're gonna come stay at my place.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you really are.
You can sleep in the spare room if you want.
I'm not housebroken. I don't live well with people.
As long as you don't pee on the rug, I think we'll be fine.
- Oh. - You wanted to see me, ma'am?
Forty, come in.
It's a letter of recommendation in support of your application
to reinstatement to the Hawks.
But I haven't applied for reinstatement.
I happen to know there's a place opening.
Desk job, good pay, pension, no danger.
That should make the wife happy.
Yes, ma'am.
Forty, you've done a good job.
You had a shot and you took it.
Thank you, ma'am.
Okay young man, you are being released into the care of your father.
Ahead of your preliminary hearing.
The condition is strict house arrest.
We'll be in court on Monday, 10 a.m.
So, what did the boss say?
I've been promoted.
Congratulations, sir.
Okay, so I'm thinking you need to reach out to some community leaders.
- Edgar! - I think you'll have enough clout.
You called me a racist.
Okay, Daniel, Daniel. Hey, hey.
No, you need to make a retraction or I swear I'm gonna sue you.
Okay, listen, I'm unhappy about that piece too.
You wrote it.
Okay, we don't write the headlines,
- the subs spin, everything to make it... - Bullshit!
Why don't you give us your side?
No one's... no one's heard from you. You need to tell your story.
Get your narrative out there.
She's still on the bench.
What's the score?
I don't think they keep score.
I just wish I understood it better, so that I could help you.
When you're at the table and that wheel is spinning...
everything goes away.
Jissis, these girls are terrible.
Terrible, shame.
You're alive and you're dead at the same time.
You're falling but you haven't landed yet.
You disappear.
I don't want you to disappear.
She's coming on.
- Come on, girl. - Bernadine!
Oh. Give her the ball!
Oh! Don't mind my girl, it's okay.
Close, so close.
Why now? I thought the case was over.
They're playing me.
Who?
The bosses. They want the right guy to go down.
Who's the right guy?
Anyone who isn't the actual right guy.
The General is putting pressure on the Commander
and she's putting pressure on me.
That's normal.
But this time it's different. They're involved and it's deeper.
They didn't even give me forensics
until I arrested a guy that they liked.
And now they're bribing me with my place back at the Hawks.
The Hawks?
B, you remember what you hated most about me when I was gambling?
The lying.
Well, now I'm lying again.
I'm lying to Zondo, I'm lying to myself.
That's good, baby!
She's gonna hurt herself trying to catch that thing.
So, what do you want to do?
I don't know who's the bosses, and who's the crooks.
If I reopen this case, it could become dangerous for me.
Those girls need you.
If anything were to happen to you, imagine how much you'd miss.
I won't do anything without your permission.
Ugh. No, man, don't put this on me.
I've put you through enough, B.
If you tell me to leave it, then I'll leave it.
Okay, fine, then leave it.
Okay, I'll leave it.
For fuck's sake, Forty!
Come, we've got a killer to catch.
I got some stuff from your apartment. Um,
if I've missed anything, then I can go get it for you.
I love what you've done with the place.
It looks even better in the daylight.
Well, a relationship ends. Some people drink.
Some renovate.
Here, let me...
Make yourself at home, get some sun, have a swim.
But please don't leave the house, or tell anyone where you are.
Maybe you should just tie me to a chair.
I'm not gonna tie you to a chair. Just don't leave.
So, you've finally got me just where you want me.
Do you think I'm having a good time?
Do you think it's fun loving a woman who doesn't wanna be loved?
Do you think I enjoy being in love with somebody
who only wants me when they think they're gonna lose me?
So just stay here. That's all I'm asking from you.
Surely that's little enough, even for you.
Just to be clear, you are this close from losing me.
Not because you're a bad person,
or you can't love, or any of that crap.
You have withheld from me, and insulted me and hurt me
and I am still here.
Because I believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
So you need to make some choices,
because you are this close from throwing it all away.
So just fucking stay.
It's a Sig SP 2022. This was a police gun.
Yeah, and the serial number has been filed off.
And bearing in mind, more than a thousand guns
are stolen from the police every year.
Every second thug carries a police gun.
Yeah, but where does a schoolboy in Bishopscourt buy this?
I mean, it's been looked after.
It's a professional's gun.
The boy is not a professional.
So maybe, the gun was put into his locker by someone at school.
Yeah, but Daniel McKenzie is not a professional, is he?
Let's look at this from another angle.
If this was a professional hit, who would hire a professional?
Oh, I checked on the lawyer.
- Hm-mm? - He's fine.
The only interesting thing about him is that
he used to represent Macky Hofmeyer.
How do I know you're not just gonna twist my words again?
We do a live webcast. You talk straight into the camera.
You can say exactly what you want to say
directly to the public without anyone getting in the way.
Mechanic, I need to see you today. Can you come out?
Look, you know I can't...
Mechanic, listen to me... Mechanic!
Who's Mechanic?
If anyone hired a hit man, Mechanic will know about it.
But he won't come out.
Come out where?
He's in Zone 41.
You can't go into Zone 41.
He won't come out.
Cops can't go in there. They hunt cops.
If you go in, no one will back you up.
There's no law there, nothing. Boss!
Hello?
Miss Hansen, my son didn't do this thing.
He's weak and he's spoiled, but...
He doesn't have the guts to be a killer.
Mr. Weber, what can I do for you?
Well, I want you to help prove his innocence.
I'm not a detective.
I have money.
That's not how this works.
Well then, you tell me how it works.
Tell me what you need from me to save my son.
Or are you just happy now
that the heat has been taken off your family?
I'm sorry, I'm a reporter, not a private investigator.
I'll give you what you earn in a year.
Miss Hansen, I don't say please
but I'm saying now, please help me with this.
I'm sorry, I...
Let's talk in person.
I'll come to you, where are you now?
No, no one knows where I am right now.
Okay, I need to look after myself and the people around me.
That's what I'm trying to do!
I have to go, I'm sorry, goodbye.
Edie, did you know your lawyer friend
was on Macky Hofmeyer's payroll?
I'm not insinuating anything, it's, it's just
did you know that Macky Hofmeyer was your boyfriend's boss?
Okay, just let me go.
Mechanic doesn't know you.
You can't go into Zone 41 on your own, you are a Coloured.
I haven't noticed.
If I'm with you, you won't stand out so much.
You're a good man, Zondo.
I'm going with you.
This isn't police sanctioned action.
Look, I don't know who to trust here, okay? There's no backup.
If I don't come back, I'll need you to talk to my wife, okay?
And Zondo, if I see you in my rear view mirror
I'll shoot you myself, you understand?
Well then, take your gun this time.
I wanted to check on you.
You've had more than enough tragedy in your life, hey?
Andrew... Olivia, still in the hospital bed.
Your cat, and now this.
How did you know about it?
I hope it wasn't something with a car.
Brakes failing, nothing like that.
How did you know where I am?
We all want you to be well.
While I'm here, I thought maybe we could talk
about that contract again.
How did you know I'm here?
- James. - We never fought like that before.
I don't like it.
Me neither.
We have to stick together.
If we fall apart, what does it even mean?
James.
If you don't want me to go to the interview, I won't.
I don't need to go to Oxford.
You don't have to be dad.
And I'm not mom.
No, you're not.
Even though she wants me to be.
James, are you really gonna wear that to the party?
"Poor Jamie. Where did I go wrong with her?"
By the way, I think I fixed the thing.
Fixed what?
The racism thing.
How did you fix it?
Daniel, how did you fix it?
You know, your brother,
he would never let something stand in his way.
If he wanted it enough, sooner or later,
yeah, the whole world would agree.
I said to him, I said, Andrew, this is way too risky.
No, no, no. He did what he had to do.
You should know that this phone
is currently streaming to an offsite server
and it can't be erased from here.
You misunderstand. I just came here to settle the bad blood.
I'm nothing but a friend to the McKenzies.
I'm not a McKenzie. How did you know I'm here?
It was Avi, wasn't it?
Oh, you see, now, now you're upset.
Tell me the truth, Macky!
- I should go. - Macky, tell me the truth.
Like I said, if you need anything, call me, okay?
If I see you again, I'm calling the police.
You really need to learn who your friends are.
You disgusting pig.
There is a pig!
Are you lost?
I know where I'm going.
How long have you been working for him?
What are you talking about?
Why didn't you tell me that you work for Macky Hofmeyr?
- Because I don't. - Don't lie to me.
Edie, please sit down. You've got a concussion. The baby.
It's not a baby, it's a foetus.
And don't Ingrid Bergman me. Forty told that me you're on his payroll.
I represented him, once, eight years ago.
I didn't like him, I didn't trust him, and I've had no contact since.
So how does he know where I am?
- Wait, he was here? - How does he know?
If he found you here, he must have had you followed.
Do you really think that I'd be in cahoots with a man like that?
Do you really think that I'm not on your side?
Cahoots?
Ingrid Bergman?
She's the actress in Gaslight.
Do you go out of your way to be obscure?
You don't have to get every reference.
So you're not... in cahoots?
Edie-fucking-Hansen.
I'm not in cahoots with anyone.
I just wish that you'd let me be in cahoots with you.
With both of you.
Alright, well if you trust me again,
there's something you have to see.
Please tell me what your idiot nephew thinks he's doing.
No one who knows me would say that I'm racist.
You can ask anyone at school.
I never said he was black.
I said he was dark-skinned.
So you'd recognise him again?
Maybe. Yes.
Is he mad? Is that even true?
He's not taking my calls.
If that's true, he's just told the killer he can identify him.
- Why would you do this? - Because I'm Daniel McKenzie.
I'm Daniel McKenzie and I declare my name. Our name.
Oh, and by the way, I solved the other problem too.
I got the money.
Where did you get this?
- I went to see Edie. - Without telling me?
What difference does it make?
I got the money, that's what matters, Jamie.
Okay.
Call the gang, tell them you have it.
We can keep this money.
I can use it to buy coke from somewhere else.
- Are you mad? - Sell it somewhere else.
Just until I win the interview.
- Until we go to Oxford. - Daniel! I'm not going anywhere.
This is our home.
Mom is in a coma and you just want to leave?
Fine, then stay here by yourself.
You said you wouldn't go if I didn't want you to.
Daniel, Daniel, I'm talking to you.
