I'm not resisting, okay? I'm not resisting. Please.
[Thuso] Keep your hands where I can see them.
You are so pathetic.
You know that?
Excuse me?
[Nandi] We know why you're doing this.
It's because you're jealous of me.
I am doing this because you are wanted for murder.
[Nandi] Oh, don't lie to yourself. We know this is about Leonard.
You know that Leonard still wants me.
Leonard still loves me.
Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up!
And you know that he was thinking of me every single time he was fucking you!
Just shut the fuck up and get down on your--
[Jacob and Thuso grunting]
Hey!
[Thuso breathing shakily]
Move!
-Move! -Move!
Nandi, you're not gonna get away with this.
Nandi, I am going to find you, and I'm going to put you away
-for a very long time. -Keep still.
[Nandi grunting]
-Both of you-- -Hey!
-Don't do this. -Shut up! Let's go.
-I will find you. -[Jacob] Let's go.

Fuck!

[newscaster] Top story today, a nationwide manhunt is underway
after two suspects, Jacob Tau and Nandi Mahlati,
made a daring escape…
[woman] I need one more number.
[newscaster] Police say the pair are dangerous and highly resourceful
and are urging the public to stay vigilant…
Yeah, I'll see you later.
[clears throat] Uh, it's not looking too busy. Huh?
How you doing? You good?
Fine, and you?
[Jacob] Yeah, we're good, thanks. Thanks for asking.
Can I please have one room?
[newscaster] …whereabouts of Jacob Tau…
Oh, yeah. So sorry.
[newscaster] They are armed and dangerous.
I mean, this should be enough, right?
[newscaster] Following a press release, Eric Jansen, a prominent businessman,
offered a reward of one million rand…
[tense music playing]
[newscaster] …for any information leading to their capture.
Expect a warm start to the week with temperatures reaching highs
of 27 to 30 degrees Celsius…
Thank you. You have a lovely night, okay?
See you.

[indistinct chatter in distance]
[Leonard whispering] Hey, Zee!
Dad.
-[sighs] -I had to come check up on you.
Kim Jansen's father has put out a reward on Mom and Jacob.
[sighs heavily] Look, this whole thing with your mother is getting out of hand.
She attacked a cop last night.
-[splutters] I heard. -And the charges are piling up.
Breaking into her therapist's office?
Her therapist has been poisoning her, Dad.
She's the one who could be behind all of this.
Poisoning how?
Her so-called antianxiety medication is actually amphetamines.
-What? -I had the capsules tested.
You could lose your job if they find out you're helping her, Zee.
Come on.
[sombre music playing]
Listen, convince her to tell all of this information to Thuso.
She refuses to turn herself in.
Then fine, tell her to come to me.
-Okay. -I will represent her.
We can fight this therapist together.
But she must leave Jacob.
I'll try. I'll try. I'll try.
Good. That's very good. [sighs]
-But just remember, okay, doshin. -Yeah.
Okay?
You are the samurai.
You.
You'll be fine, okay?
-Okay, go. Go. Go. -Thanks, Dad. Okay.
[music fades out]
-[pencil scratching] -[clinking]
-[door slams] -[Lucky] You!
Where's your fuckin' mother?
[spluttering] I don't know.
Don't lie to me!
We've been busting our ass all night trying to get her.
She broke into someone's office and handcuffed Thuso to a pole.
[spluttering] I swear she… she hasn't reached out to me.
I'm sorry.
[Lucky chuckles] I swear,
if I find out that you've been in contact with your mom, I'll make sure--
Lucky, enough! Stop.
She's one of us. Just go to your desk.
Go!
Move.
[unsettling music playing]
[music intensifies]
[Thuso] Can I have the room, please?
[music fades out]
Has Zinhle been in contact with her mom? We've tried her phones, emails. Nothing.
I'm not sure.
But I do have something.
Zinhle was testing antianxiety meds for her mother.
Nandi's therapist did say that's why she broke into her office,
to get more meds.
Why would Nandi and Jacob target your office?
What was Nandi looking for? Why would she expose herself like that?
You know, I have Nandi's antianxiety medication
delivered to my office.
Maybe she was trying to find some.
-What did the test say? -I wasn't there to see the results.
[tense music playing]
But I… I can fish.
Good. And you better find out how they're communicating.
Because they're obviously talking to each other.
Your job depends on it.
[tense music fades out]
Jacob.
-Jacob. -[Jacob sighs]
Do you know her?
[birds chirping]
-[dramatic music playing] -[Jacob sighs]
[Jacob sighs]
-No, I don't. -[Nandi sighs]
[dramatic music fades out]
Listen, I'm sorry.
It's just hard for me to look at Kim again.
I'm sorry.
[Nandi sighs]
How did you and this therapist meet anyway?
Uh…
I was just…
I was just in a bad place a few years ago, and… [inhales sharply]
I guess it was between fighting Leonard over the divorce,
and taking Vuyo to prison, and… [sighs]
…you know, and having to walk away from you.
She came to give a lecture at the university
on victims of narcissistic abuse.
[Sandra speaking indistinctly]
And then we started talking.
Well, thank you for coming. I think it's a very important topic.
-It is. -Yeah.
You know, people always say you should just move on from a narcissist,
like it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
[sombre music playing]
It's not because, literally, they infect your mind
to the point where it's almost impossible to walk away.
Yeah, it's like you forget how you used to breathe without them.
You sound like you're talking from experience.
In case you need to talk.
You're not alone.
-Thanks. -Thank you.
[Nandi] Mm-hmm.
[Nandi] I just thought she wanted to help me,
but she was drugging me.
[in Zulu] And I don't know why.
You know, for the first time, we know who the enemy is.
[in English] And if she wants a war, then it's a war she'll get.
What? "War"?
Nandi, you're not just at war with her.
You're going to war with the whole country.
This will only end with the people that you care about getting hurt,
like Zinhle.
Think about her.
[gentle music playing]
Listen…
Then let's just leave, okay?
Please.
No, we're not running away.
Okay? I'm gonna fight this.

Hey. You okay?
Everyone at the station hates me.
They're only pretending to hate you. They all love the overtime.
[Zinhle chuckles]
Thanks for checking in on me.
[Laura inhales sharply]
You know this isn't gonna end well.
Right?
If you have any information,
you should probably tell it to Thuso.
My mom didn't actually do it.
There's someone else involved.
[phone vibrating]
Um… [chuckles]
[vibrating continues]
Is there another phone ringing in here?
[spluttering] I'll catch up with you inside, yeah?
-[Laura chuckles awkwardly] -[menacing music playing]
[sighs] Ma?
[in Zulu] Listen, Zinhle.
I need you to run a search for me. Sandra Motaung.
[sighs] Isn't it Peterson? Sandra Peterson?
Yeah, but that's the name I found in her office when I went through it.
-I think that might just be her real name. -Did you look it up?
I did. It's just, there are a few Sandra Motaungs.
It's the images… They don't match her.
[sighs] I'm just hoping she has some sort of criminal record, maybe.
Ma, I'm starting to get a lot of heat at work.
That's why we need to track her down.
Just finish this once and for all because she's behind all of this.
Are you with Jacob?
No.
Dad says if you come to him, he'll help you legally.
You just need to leave Jacob.
Do it. Ma, please.
Dad has a lot of connections, and he can make this go away.
-Zee… -Please, Ma. Just do it.
Stop this before…
Before it ends badly. I need to get back to work.
-[phone beeps] -[sighs]
-[phone thuds] -[grunts]
You know Leonard is not over you, right?
He can't even stand the fact that we're together.
He's actually more fixated on you.
But… Zinhle has a point.
I mean, Leonard is connected. He might be the answer.
[gentle music playing]
[music turns menacing]
You said Jacob was like family to you
'til he stole something from you.
But you did this all out of jealousy.
You and Jacob fucked.
We had an agreement,
that we would set a trap for Jacob,
which is exactly what I did, but then you went and saved him. Why?
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is the exact same car that is parked outside.
[Sandra sighs heavily]
You're a great detective.
I'll give you that.
I didn't actually think you'd figure out that I was the one who saved him.
[inhales sharply] What is it about him that drives all of you so crazy,
that makes you all so obsessed?
Let me guess.
Yesterday, you tried to convince him to stay with you, but he chose Nandi.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
You murdered an innocent woman,
only for Jacob and Nandi to end up together.
Because that's who he wants to be with.
Not you.
You were right.
[music ends]
My husband left me this entire estate.
All of it.
You'll never want for money again…
[unsettling music playing]
…if you kill Jacob for me.
He doesn't deserve to be happy.
Not with Kim.
Not with Nandi.
Not with anyone.
Don't ever contact me again.
[door closes]

-[waves crashing gently] -[music fades out]

[Nandi breathing heavily]
Hi. I got your message from Zinhle.
I need your help, Leonard, please.
[tense music playing]
[knocking on window]
-Hey. -Thuso, hey.
How can I help you?
[Thuso] Do you have a minute?
[suspenseful music playing]
Look, Zinhle, we need to talk. I want to give you a chance to come clean.
I know you've been helping your mom.
Thuso, my mom is actually innocent.
Innocent people don't run.
Her therapist has been poisoning her.
Okay, she's completely unstable.
That's why she broke into the office, to try and find some sort of proof.
I'm trying to help you. Okay?
Because I like you.
Like, all bullshit aside, I actually like you.
Don't let your life burn with hers.
She's made her choice with Jacob.
Think about your life, your dreams.
Put yourself first.
For once.
[hesitating] I really… I promise I…
I don't know where my mom is.
-I have no idea. I-- -Get out the car.
Get out the fucking car right now!
Now!
[menacing music playing]
-[Zinhle] What are you doing? -[Thuso] My job, Zinhle.
I gave you a chance.
You are forcibly searching a colleague's car. I'm reporting you.
Give me the password.
Thuso.
Thuso, please listen to me.
Badge.
-No. -I said badge, now!
You're suspended.
[music ends]
[Leonard] Everything's gonna be fine, Nandi. Promise.
You did the right thing coming here.
Thanks for taking me in.
[gentle music playing]
How did it all get here?
All those years ago,
we were so happy.
Until…
You slept with Brenda.
[in Zulu] I owe you an apology, Nandi.
I should've been a better husband to you.
I guess it's true.
You… don't know what you have until it's gone.
[sighs] I've been sitting alone all this time,
thinking about everything.
[Leonard chuckles]
I really loved you.
For real.
I…
I did really love you too.
I loved the life that we had. I…
I loved the life that we gave Zinhle.
[Leonard chuckles]
[inhales sharply]
If you were to build a time machine…
[both chuckle]
…and go back to the life we had,
would you do it?
[Nandi laughs softly]
[dramatic music playing]
[sighs] I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but…
I would.
But so much has gone wrong.
[sighs]
Not anymore.
You're here now.
[music intensifies]
[both breathing heavily]
Nandi. [sighs]
I missed you.
[belt rattling]
Okay.
[both moaning softly]
Yes.
Okay, yes.
-Yeah. -I like it.
That much?
[Leonard grunts]
Yes.
[gasping softly] Yes.
Yeah.
Where you going? Huh?
[music ends]
-Where's your safe, Leonard? -What?
-What are you doing? -[Nandi] Ah.
-[safe beeping] -[Nandi] All right.
-[beeping rapidly] -Ah! My birthday.
[laughs] How sad.
-Just like your brother. Huh? -[safe opens]
[Leonard] What?
What are you doing?
Nandi. [grunts]
-Are you robbing me? -Yeah, we need the money.
-"We"? -Yeah, we.
[dramatic musical sting]
-[Jacob] Are we good? -Yeah, we're good.
Nandi.
-Thanks, Leonard. -No, Nandi.
-Let's go. -Nandi!
