So this white guy. Is it Macky Hofmeyer?
I don't know. This is in-house.
Check his payroll. Who works for him.
Maybe he knows someone else that knows someone else.
What happened to you out there today?
I'm not scared anymore.
Might not be able to beat the system.
But this guy. I can beat him.
Olivia has woken up.
Mom? Mom, wake up.
Mom?
No! No!
She loved you.
Was Daniel wasn't it?
The child you gave away.
I see it in the way you look at him.
Detective Bell is suspended for gross insubordination.
Nervous about the interview to be honest.
Never done it before.
You like my brother, don't you?
Is it obvious?
Yeah. Well it is to me.
Don't come between us.
You'll bleed more than you can ever fucking imagine.
Morgan, it's infected.
Jamie slashed the guy with the rake.
Morgan Witbooi is the killer.
We should go inside.
Not yet.
- There's no escape. - Oh Morgan. I'm pregnant.
I'm pregnant, please
Please.
Why would you bring a baby into this world?
Edie I got you.
Answer me. Wh... Why would you do that? Why.
Just jump.
I'm scared.
Maybe the world can't change.
But we can.
We could choose to change.
Choose?
Choose? Wh-What choice?
It just keeps going like a wheel, it turns and it turns but nothing changes.
We can choose to change. We can. I'm gonna love this baby.
I'm gonna show it how to love.
I'm not gonna pass down to it what was given to me.
I won't.
No, no, no, no, no, no. No.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It doesn't.
You could choose.
We can't change.
Ma'am, we fight.
And we fight and we fight but nothing changes.
You don't have to fight alone anymore.
I'm gonna fight with you.
I'm gonna fight with you
I'm scared too.
But we're gonna help each other. Right?
You're gonna help me
And I'm gonna help you.
And together we're gonna write the ending.
Maybe I'll come out in China.
No!
It's okay.
*CREDITS*
Take the pressure off it.
It's alright. There you go.
Alright?
Are you alright?
- My face... - It's okay, it's just scratched.
Greta, are you... Are you okay? What happened?
What's going on?
I must have slipped.
I just...
- Greta, are you okay? - Don't touch me.
- Did you see what happened? - I'm fine.
Greta, you'll be fine for the play. We can't do it without you.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Come. Come. Come.
Let's get some ice on it.
He was right there and no one ever saw him, even me.
I was thinking, is it a white guy, is it a Black guy?
Black, white. He was right in front of me.
I hired him to protect her.
So he confessed to both killings?
Andrew and Olivia?
I'll bring her in tomorrow to make a statement.
Jamie?
What happened to Greta?
Look at a jury like that and see how far you get.
I've had enough of this.
This long face.
A man doesn't carry on like that.
Werner...
He's unhappy.
Well...
is the world here to make us happy?
Ah.
Okay.
I see you are angry with me.
So...
let's sort it out.
Come on.
Hit me.
Free hit. I won't hit you back.
Come on.
Get it out.
For once in your life.
Be a man.
Hit me now.
This is the moment, you pathetic human being.
You fucking hit me.
Hit me!
We have found the killer.
I know it's a lot to take in.
It doesn't make sense.
My father always told me that only weak people kill themselves.
Losers. He hated losers.
Why would he do that? He was murdered.
People hate the things inside them they're most ashamed...
Oh, shut up, Edie.
You claim to tell the truth but all you do is lie.
Lie, lie, lie, lie!
I think you should calm down.
I think you should shut the fuck up, Avi.
I'm sick and tired of outsiders making shit up about my family.
Never speak about my parents again.
- Okay back off. - Don't fucking touch me, Avi.
You are nothing to me.
You understand?
As far as I'm concerned, we're not even related anymore.
I hate you, Edie. I fucking hate you.
Enough!
Enough.
Tell him.
You were born in the early hours of the 8th of April.
You were 40 weeks and one day.
You weighed 3.4 kilograms.
What are you talking about?
You were frowning.
And when they put you in my arms,
you started crying and you didn't want to stop.
And I thought you hated me already.
I was 16.
And I gave you to my brother and Olivia because
they thought they couldn't have children.
No.
And I loved you.
I thought I was going to die today.
I thought I was going to die and you were never going to know.
- You have to understand that- - Don't fucking touch me.
Why hasn't she been here?
- Daniel. - Where has she been?
Daniel, Edie is broken.
She's lonely and bitter and she messed up her own life
so now she wants some of ours.
Edie is nothing.
She doesn't matter.
What if she's my mother?
Daniel.
You were always... the centre of the family.
You were always more their child than I was.
And...
I've only ever had you.
It's going to be okay.
Just breathe.
In and out.
Everything's going to be fine.
Just stay calm.
Listen to my voice.
Everything is going to be fine.
I promise.
I called Errol.
I said you must come over for a braai
so that we can talk about you working for him.
It won't be so bad.
You'll be at home every night and
you'll be working for people who love you.
Being a cop is all I know.
Well...
Okay.
Truth time.
I don't want you to be a cop.
I don't think you've been keeping that secret as well as you think.
I don't want to worry anymore.
I want you to watch your daughters grow up.
We don't watch them.
They watch us.
One last thing I have to do.
Forty.
You're still suspended.
Edie Hanson will make a statement that Morgan Whitboy confessed to the murders.
- It's over. - That's not your concern.
But there's still Macky Hofmeyer.
He's going to destroy the community if we don't stop him.
The only reason you might still have a pension
is because I'm going to bet for you.
You're burning your fingers here, Forty.
Your whole arm is on fire.
I know you had pressure to close this case quickly.
Keep scrutiny of Hofmeyer's company.
I know Hofmeyer has you all in his pocket.
That's enough.
But Andrew Mckenzie was going to turn state witness.
We can use that to arrest Hofmeyer for corruption.
The community can make a challenge and stop construction.
Go home, Forty.
So we can't get justice, fine.
But we can do this one good thing.
You know, make some noise. Leak it to the press.
Even the General can't stop that.
Don't you understand what you're dealing with?
Hmm?
You think this all stops with the General?
Grow up, Forty.
Must I call the Premier to come and speak to you?
The Premier?
If you keep getting in the way,
something will happen.
Maybe one night you're driving home.
The squad car pulls you over.
They want to breathalyze you, but you refuse, you're aggressive.
You pull your weapon.
What can they do... but protect themselves?
Number one lesson in this country.
Don't stop rich people getting richer.
Let Hofmeyer win this one.
Maybe next time he's not so connected.
You with me?
Ma'am?
Here's Madame's smoothie.
Thank you.
If you...
have a client...
you're not allowed to divulge anything they tell you.
Hmm-hmm.
So I'd like to hire you as my lawyer.
Do you accept me as your client?
I'm under your instruction.
Okay.
Morgan didn't kill Olivia.
He said he killed Andrew.
Then he heard the family and he left.
And who killed Olivia?
Some men...
don't like to admit when they kill women and children.
Maybe he just didn't want to say it.
The family came home early,
she walked in on Morgan, so he killed her.
- It has to be that. - Right.
Right?
Why does he use a telescope and not just shoot her?
Not everything has to make sense.
Especially when people are involved.
Yeah.
Okay.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
We have to get you to the station to make your statement.
Okay.
You should wear the blue one.
So...
No drama, just straight talk.
I don't want you to do this interview.
I don't want you to go and leave me behind.
But...
you choose and I'll support you.
But I won't go with you.
And if you decide to go with Greta
- or whatever... - Jamie.
I'll stay here.
On my own.
Daniel Mckenzie?
I'm ready if you are.
Hey.
- Don't be nervous. - Thank you.
Is he in already?
You shouldn't be here.
It was stupid how I told him. I was emotional.
- Please just leave. - Jamie.
We're going to have to deal with this.
So, Daniel.
This uh, isn't an inquisition.
Just a conversation.
Yeah?
So, why is this scholarship important to you?
I'm his mother, okay?
I am his mother.
What does that even mean?
You know...
ever since you came into our lives, things have been getting worse.
That's not fair.
I don't care about fair.
I care about us.
You haven't cared for him his whole life.
Your parents didn't want me to know him.
Your father kept me away.
- You stayed away. - I was 16.
I was your age.
Maybe you would have the strength to do it differently.
I don't know, but I didn't.
I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't strong enough.
- And when I did get strong... - You need to leave.
Daniel's on the edge and he's very sensitive.
- I know he gets sensitive. - You don't know anything.
You don't know what he can do.
I'm the only one who can control him.
What do you mean, control him?
He always used to tell me that
this was a way to put myself in a position
where I could contribute to my community and my country.
And...
I think that's very important.
He's not like other people.
- He's different. - Different how?
You're an outsider.
You're just a visitor.
You um, appear to be distracted.
Sorry.
Perhaps we should address the elephant in the room.
We're all aware of the tragedy in your family.
Our commiserations.
Thank you.
But we should talk about this.
He's in there right now trying to live my father's dream for him.
And you are not a part of that.
That is for me to handle.
He'd do anything for your father.
He would turn himself inside out.
What would he do if someone betrayed Andrew?
Your mother, for instance?
Everybody makes mistakes.
I guess it's just...
I guess it's just how we deal with them that defines us as a person.
I want to help you. I really do.
You've got to let me in.
I can see. I can see how hard it is.
Let me help you.
Okay?
Both of you, what you've been through.
His soul has been hollowed out by that world.
You don't know anything about Daniel's soul.
I know enough.
You know nothing.
If you knew what he did, you'd be disgusted.
You would turn your back and walk away from him.
All over again.
What's he done that's so terrible?
- You don't want to know? - I do want to know. Tell me.
I'm so sorry. There seems to be some kind of um...
Excuse me.
Can we have some quiet?
Tell me he's done. What are you saying?
I didn't say anything.
He's your own son.
You accused him.
I didn't say it.
She's not with us.
She's not welcome here.
- Come with me. - Did he?
Jamie, did he?
Ma'am?
- Jamie. - Leave, Edie!
Ma'am.
Detective Bell is here right now...
Mr. Hofmeyer.
Detective Bell.
My commander suggested I come and tell you
that the investigation is closed.
I know.
And that there won't be any second investigation
arising from the inquiry.
Mmm-hmm.
If there was any misunderstanding, I wish to apologise.
Everyone's just doing their job.
Andrew Mckenzie wrote a confession before he died.
Lists all the bribes paid by Hofmeyer Mckenzie.
The government officials.
The money trail leading from you
all the way to the highest officers in the province.
Have you seen this list?
No, but I know what's in it.
And I can get it for you if you want.
I don't believe you.
Edie Hanson has it.
She gets around.
You can get this list.
- I can. - Copies?
I can make sure that there aren't any.
You get that list.
You get rid of her and a hundred K is yours.
Flat.
Five hundred.
Don't fucking haggle with me.
I'm retiring from the police. I need to take care of my future.
Five hundred.
But detective...
If you get the smart idea to keep something back from me
so that you can make more money from me later,
I'll bury your fucking head in my concrete.
Just so we're clear.
Good morning, everyone.
Brian...
We break ground in two days.
Now, I want to make sure that absolutely every detail...
- Macky Hofmayer. - is in place.
I'm charging you under the Prevention and Combating
of Corrupt Activities Act of 2004.
What the bloody hell is this, man?
Hey, Marelize, get my lawyer.
You are so out of your depth.
Hey.
- Zondo, arrest this man. - Yes, Sir.
Yeah, we'll see.
What the fuck are you looking at, Brian?
Don't you get involved too, boy. There's...
He's got no evidence.
This will finish you too.
You get that list.
You get rid of her.
- In a hundred K... - Ah, please man. That's childish.
It's inadmissible.
I'll be back in the office in two hours.
- What the hell is this? - Mr. Hofmeyer.
One second, Mr. Hofmeyer.
Must have been some anonymous leak.
Mr. Hofmeyer, do you have any comment on your arrest, Mr. Hofmeyer?
What do you have to say, Mr. Hofmeyer?
Get that out of my face.
Do you have any statements, Detective Bell?
Yes, indeed.
Let's hope your investors and your business partners
don't get to hear about this.
Thank you.
- What does this mean for Macky Constru- - Get out of my face.
Robert?
It's closed.
The other day you said you wanted to talk, so...
Okay.
What do you want to say?
Okay, so...
What do you want me to say?
You win.
I'm here, I'm talking.
It's too late, Papa.
You... You say I don't talk but...
you don't either.
And that's all right.
Not everyone talks.
We aren't talkers.
You can't say that...
That I haven't tried.
I need to ask you some questions about Daniel.
Daniel is...
not what he seems.
He... He has a hidden side.
He can be so...
So violent.
He attacked me.
Why?
Um...
Because he wanted me to stay away from his family.
It... It... It was Olivia.
But he thought it was Jamie.
Same-Same difference.
So he was just trying to protect her?
You see, everybody thinks that Daniel is the boss.
Jamie...
She... She's stronger than him.
She, she holds them together.
You know, that's why they're so intense.
They... They cut everybody out...
so that no one can ever see what Daniel is really like.
It was easy.
I knew exactly what they wanted to hear.
My father had this scholarship.
He was always my biggest role model and...
- So do you think you'll get it? - No.
But you just said you nailed it.
I did.
I just can't do this.
I'm sorry for wasting your time.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Because I wanted to stay...
with you.
Hey, where are you? You're supposed to give your statement.
I can't.
Why not?
He did it.
Daniel killed Olivia.
- What? - It's all worse than I thought.
What do you mean?
You're just saying that 'cause...
you think you need to look after me.
No.
I want you to stay because you want to stay.
I do want to stay.
I promise you.
I'm scared!
Just jump!
Eadie.
Edie!
I can't have this baby.
Jamie and Daniel, they're not like brother and sister.
They're more like mother and son.
She's been trying to hold him together because underneath, he's a monster.
I made a monster.
No, no, you didn't.
It's my bad blood.
He was raised in that house. They made him.
But I gave him to them.
He's no good because I'm no good.
- This baby's gonna be no good. - It's okay.
Okay.
Let's say that there is such a thing as bad blood.
There isn't but let's say it.
Let's say that you're bad.
Let's say that you're absolutely rotten and selfish and a bad person
and you're the worst mother and you're incapable of love.
Let's say it.
Fine. You've got...
bad blood.
I...
on the other hand...
have very good blood.
Really just exceptional blood.
Some of the best blood, I think.
Your bad blood.
My good blood.
I think this kid has a chance.
What do you think?
Guys, I am so excited. It's opening night.
Now I'm not gonna give you a pep talk because you don't need it.
Daniel, Jamie, Bongani, all of you.
Break a leg tonight and make this a night to remember.
Get some rest.
We'll see you all back here at 6 pm sharp.
It's, um...
It's the opening night of the school play.
I'm not going to any play.
I don't... I don't know how you stay with this guy.
Whatever, it's... it's your life.
But I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I haven't been a better friend to you.
And you don't know how to be a dad.
And I get it.
And I'll stop expecting things from you that you can't give.
But our neighbours are in a show,
a show that I should have been in.
And we're gonna go support them as a... as a family.
You can give that.
Detective?
Is she here?
So Macky Hofmeyer has been arrested.
He was charged for taking a hit out on you.
- You sure you don't want the tape? - No. Give it to Edgar.
I'm not a journalist anymore.
I'm not a cop anymore either.
Thanks.
What?
Can I talk to you...
not as a journalist and a cop but as two friends?
Two friends and a lawyer.
So, here's the scenario.
Let's just say that Morgan Wittbooi didn't confess to both murders, hypothetically.
- Okay. Hypothetically. - And hypothetically...
When I was speaking to Robert Webber,
he was talking about the day of the murder,
the rehearsal of the play at the school.
Olivia...
arrived early, right in the middle of practice.
Daniel, Jamie.
She was... she was so upset.
Come on.
What?
I've never seen her like that before.
- You can't just... - We're going now.
Get your bags now!
- She was so pissed off. - Go, go, come!
That's why they arrived home early.
Because she fetched them from the rehearsal early,
because something was happening within the family.
Like what?
Daniel found that poem.
He thinks his mother's having an affair,
so maybe he says something,
maybe he threatened to tell his dad.
Daniel, leave it alone!
- Where are you going? I'm talking to you! - Stop it, Daniel.
So now they're angry and they're fighting, and they arrive home...
and they find Andrew dead.
Andrew!
Who knows what's going through his head.
Daniel!
Rage, it's shock.
His father's dead in front of him and here's this woman who betrayed him.
We don't have any proof.
But we can't pretend like we don't know.
The boy needs help.
Maybe just... Just to acknowledge it to himself.
Catch.
Is Daniel right-handed too?
Um, yeah. Yes. Yes, he is.
Okay, so Olivia Mckenzie is struck in the frontal lobe.
Direction of impact from the left.
So the blow has to come from the left.
A right-hander and the blow would have come from the right.
The killer's left-handed.
Morgan's left-handed. He wore his gun on his left hip.
Well, then he killed both.
He only got face to one, but he killed them both.
- Oh, my God. - Well, hypothetically speaking, that is.
Oh, my God!
Thank you...
friend.
Right.
I have to go and speak to him. I have to make this right.
- Five minutes? - Yeah.
You want me to come in with you?
No, you can go. I'll Uber back.
I think I'll wait.
I'll play Snake.
- Good evening. Here's your pizza. - Hi.
- Thank you so much. - Cool.
- Okay. Bye. - Bye.
I'll open the gate for you now.
Daniel!
Jamie!
Daniel!
Guys!
Hey, guys!
Da...
Daniel, hurry up. We're gonna be late.
Come on, let's eat. We've got to get to school.
It's our big night.
- You only got one pizza? - I mean, yeah, we can share.
Hey.
Or we can just stay here. Together, just me and you.
Just me and you.
What did he say?
Hey?
They weren't there. No one was there.
- So nice to see you. - You should have known!
Oh, my goodness.
So, I hear you resigned from your job.
Yeah, I sent in my resignation this afternoon.
With handcuffs on it.
Please, everybody, take your seats.
You wanna go in?
Yeah.
Remember what I told you.
Get out of Bishopscourt, get as far as you can,
and don't ever let it pull you back.
Are you okay?
You're better than all of them, Robert.
You're better than the whole damn bunch of them put together.
Whatever it is.
Whenever you're ready.
You can talk to me.
I'm just not used to talking.
I don't know how sometimes.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
When I was younger and more vulnerable,
my father gave me some advice.
Whenever you feel like criticising anyone,
remember that everyone in the world
hasn't had the advantage that you have.
I'm Daniel's best friend.
Everybody thinks that Daniel is the boss.
I'm the only one who can control him.
Jamie?
She... She's stronger than him.
Gatsby, where have you been?
I've been right in front of you this whole time.
You just had to look.
Is Daniel right-handed too?
Did you see her mom in the front row?
- She's sitting right there... - I know.
Can I have the room, please?
Everyone out right now. Get out!
What are you doing here?
I was wrong.
I thought you did it.
I thought Jamie was protecting you because she's the strong one.
I don't know what you're saying.
I saw you today.
I saw you in the sunroom.
Both of you. On the couch.
Olivia called me that night because she found out about the two of you.
She called the birth mother.
When the world falls apart, a mother turns to another mother.
But she couldn't reach me.
So she dragged you out of the rehearsal.
And what did she say?
We love each other! We trust each other!
You are sick in your head!
Was she going to separate you?
- She wanted to send me away. - Jamie, be quiet.
- She said we were sick. - Shut up.
She doesn't have any proof.
She can't prove anything!
Andrew!
Daniel! Jamie!
Call the police!
It was you.
It was you all along.
There it is.
Your real face.
I see it now. You want everyone to see.
You're tired.
Tired of hiding.
You picked up the gun and you hid it.
And then you planted it in Robert's locker.
What did you use in the hospital?
I didn't kill my mum.
I wanted her to wake up.
Even if she told, I still wanted her to wake up.
You don't think so. You think she killed her.
I didn't say that.
You're not sure?
- James, I... - Don't listen to her.
She's trying to drive us apart.
And it's not going to work. Daniel knows me.
But you're my son, Daniel. I've got to start being a mother some time.
It's too late.
What's going on in here?
Please, we're busy.
I must ask you to leave immediately.
Get the fuck out!
Don't say anything, okay?
Call the security.
It's not wrong, Edie.
It's not wrong.
What we have...
We're the only good thing we have in this world.
Daniel, I'm sorry. You know I have to tell someone.
- No, you don't. - They...
Listen to me.
They won't lock her up. She's a minor.
I'm going to help you explain it wasn't your fault.
Growing up in that place, in that fucking house,
in that family with all those secrets, weird, fucked up...
They'll separate us, Edie.
Please.
Please, Edie.
Don't turn on us.
We can be a family. I can still be your son.
If you tell...
It's over.
It's, uh...
It's starting.
There's still a chance for you.
For both of you.
Okay, we're going to eat soon.
Okay. I should better go help Mum.
Yes, please. Come help me.
Constable Zona speaking.
Mmm-hmm.
Y... Yes, Sir.
Careless people.
They smash things and creatures
and they retreated back to their money.
Vast carelessness.
Whatever that is that kept them together.
And they let other people clean up the mess that they had made.
Yes.
Yes, baby. Well done.
Did she... No.
What the fuck are you doing?
Daniel.
Daniel?
Daniel!
What?
