Who's Eddie Philsky?
Previously on "Average Joe"
These were sent to Angela.
-We don't know from who.
-My baby.
The writing is
definitely Russian.
It's an old photo studio
in Cape Town, South Africa.
Guess we all going to Africa.
700 kilos of my heroin.
Tell me where it is.
I can give you a name!
Billy G!
Found a pay stub.
Billy G's Bar Americano.
I'm Billy G. It's my place.
About five years ago
your father saved my life,
and I sincerely had to make
sure you guys got here OK.
Keep the car running.
We don't know what's
going on in this house.
-Stay away from me.
-Get back!
Cathy!
Why are there men here
looking for you?
Why don't you just get out?
Maybe she's right, Joe.
Joe, like Teddy's Joe?
Teddy was my father.
Teddy is my father.
Looks like you got
yourself a sister.

Fucking misfire.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Ah, yeah ♪
What if I can't fucking die?
No, he ain't gonna die ♪
No, he ain't gonna die ♪
So you're supposed
to be my sister.
I think so.
You think so.
-What's your name?
-Imani.
Imani.
Well, Imani, what makes you
think Teddy is still alive?
Because he is alive.
He dropped me off here six days
ago, told me to wait for him.
He told you to wait on him.
Yes. Why?
What's going on?
Is there something that
you know about our father
that you're not telling me?
No.
Is there something
you know about our father
that you're not telling me?
No.
No.
Yeah, OK.
All right.
Well, there's this one thing.
I found it in the deer head
on the wall.
Anything you could
tell me about it?
It's a bucktail jig.
That sounds incredibly racist.
What is a bucktail jig?
It's dad's favorite
fishing gear.
Fucking tired
of getting shot at.
Fuck!
-Shit!
-Shit.
Fuck.
Shit.
Stop!
No!
Shit! Fuck!
He's gone, Cathy.
Fuck.
-Fuck.
-Fucking Leon!
What?
You left the car running!
Well, Joe told me to.
Yeah, if you were in it.
Well, I I'm sorry.
I didn't think
to turn the car off
when someone was
shooting at my wife.
My our passports
were in the car, Leon.
OK.
We'll just go to the consulate
and get new passports.
Oh, you just got
to fucking answer
for everything, don't you?
That was a perfectly
good answer.
Fuck!
Who the fuck was shooting at us?
What the fuck they want?
I don't know.
Why did Teddy tell you
to stay here?
What the fuck happened to him?
I don't know.
-Stop saying this.
-I don't
Fuck.
There's a whole lot of shit
you don't know, huh?
Yeah.
Well I know
that asshole got away.
He's going to be coming
back with friends
and we need to be gone.
Where the hell we supposed
to go with no clothes,
no money, no passports?
And, oh, by the way,
Leon lost the car.
Man, you you had
one fucking job, Lee.
Bullets were flying.
I came here to rescue you.
You're welcome.
Do you two ever fucking stop?
-Fuck you, Touch.
-Oh.
Fuck me. OK.
Teddy wanted me to find this.
I don't know why.
-You said it's his favorite?
-Yeah.
It's his favorite lure.
Well, his lucky lure whenever
he takes his boats out.
His his boat?
Teddy had a boat?
Has a boat.
And it's boats.
We run a charter
fishing business.
The fuck?
Where?
Hout Bay.
I don't even know
what that means.
-Hout Bay.
-It's a place.
It's close.
Take us.
I'm sorry.
Why are we trusting
this girl we barely know?
My name is Imani.
And my name is, I don't
give a fuck what your name is.
How we know she not with
these dead motherfuckers?
Or that she not playing us?
-I'm not playing anyone.
-OK.
You know what?
There's a real easy way
to settle this.
If you really are
Teddy's daughter
I am.
Most single season
pass receptions.
What?
See, I told you
she was playing us.
I'm not playing anyone.
Most single season
pass receptions.
What is this, like,
some Pittsburgh Steelers
trivia or something?
You heard the man.
Answer.
Most single season pass
receptions is Hines Ward 2002,
112 receptions.
32, 70, 75.
Franco Harris, Ernie
Stautner, and Mean Joe Greene.
Well, shit.
It looks like
you got a sister, Joe.
-No, actually, no.
-Wait a minute.
How do I know that you're not
with these dead MF'ers?
You can't be fucking
serious, right?
Uh, maybe because we fucking
saved your fucking life.
Really?
Actually, you tell me this.
How many goals did Khenyeza
score in the 2008 season?
What the fuck is a Khenyeza?
If you were Teddy's son,
then you would know that.
Listen, me and Teddy
Uh, yeah.
That's right.
OK.
Most career starts
for the Cape Town Spurs.
Cape Town Spurs,
uh, Brett Evans, 311.
How the fuck did you
The world is bigger
than Pittsburgh, Joseph.
Joseph?
-Fuck you.
-Fuck me?
-I just
-OK.
OK OK.
Listen.
Imani knows something
about the Steelers.
Apparently you know
some shit about soccer.
I know we need to get
the fuck out of here.
But how?
We don't have no car.
Nobody specified to turn
the car off when I got out!
Bingo.
You had the fucking key?
Those dead motherfuckers
had to get here somehow, huh?
So where did these
assholes park?
Give me that.
Oh, my God.
Is your friend OK?
Nah, he's not.
He's weird.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm using my brain
to amplify the signal.
You know that
doesn't work, right?
MythBusters right there.
Science, bitches!
OK, baby.
Let's move.
Good job.
Come on.
Where is the person
called Billy G
I instructed you to bring to me?
They're Americans, Sipho,
four of them.
I found these
in their belongings.
Americans.
You have not answered
the question.
We followed the Americans.
They took us to the daughter.
And where is the girl?
The Americans,
they took us by surprise.
They escaped with the daughter.
Americans.
Hmm.
So you have come to me
without the girl
and without the one
called Billy G.
Your gun.
Sipho, please.
Kofi, you are so loyal.
Why are you worried?
Your gun, please.
Thank you.
Show yourself.
Come.
You know who I am?
What's your name, boy?
-Diallo.
-Diallo.
Diallo, you will get rid
of this body and this car.
I will.
Yes, you will.
And one day I hope to see you
playing for the Spurs, aye?
The girl
and the Americans must not
be allowed to leave Cape Town.
Position our men accordingly.
Of course, sir.
And this Billy G?
Don't worry about him.
I will see to him myself.
Americans.
Turn off the lights.
Pull over here.
-All right.
-Which one is Teddy's boat?
The two over there,
The Big Snack and The Hammer.
Casey Hampton
and Fred Williamson.
No.
-The Hammer as in Jack Ham.
-No.
The Hammer was Fred Williamson.
No, Imani's right.
Fred Williamson was only
in Pittsburgh for one year.
Jack Ham gave us 12 years.
And four Lombardi trophies.
Fred the Hammer Williamson
starred in "Black Caesar,"
"Hell up in Harlem,"
"Three the Hard Way,"
and guest starred in a season
one episode of "Knight Rider."
Did Jack Ham guest star
in "Knight Rider"?
No. I rest my fucking case.
How is that a fucking case?
How can you never admit
when you're wrong?
-Because I'm not wrong.
-Yes, you are.
-Oh, my God!
-Yo, shut the fuck up!
Are the guards with the dock?
No, I've never seen them before.
We we don't have guards.
Shit.
Yeah.
We can't go in just like,
knock 'em out
and jump 'em and shit.
They all armed.
How cold is this water?
Very, very cold.
Touch, you might have to
check me on this or whatever,
but, Imani, right.
She my sister-in-law
but, for the life of me,
I can't trust her ass.
I just can't.
Like, especially her
being Teddy's daughter.
You know what I mean?
'Cause we don't know
how fucking super
fucked up she could be
or what she's on.
OK, I get you.
But I think we're
going to need her.
OK?
Teddy started leaving you
clues again.
I think she's the only one that
could help you figure them out.
Right, right, right.
Plus, I think Teddy's
trying to bring
the two of you together.
Why? I have no fucking idea.
Yeah, that's what
I'm worried about though.
Anyway, uh,
I'm gonna leave mine on.
You should leave yours on too.
I think it's going
to slow down our swim, no?
Yeah, but I don't know
what the fuck
we gonna see over there.
It might be all kind
of glass and rocks
and all that shit over there.
That's a good point.
Can you even swim?
I've never even
seen you in water.
You doing a whole lot right now.
I glide like a stingray.
They used to call me
the Man from Atlantis.
No one's ever called you that.
You don't know
what they called me.
You know what they call you
behind your back?
Fuck you, Touch.
More like man from Uranus.
Joe.
This key will open
the door to the office.
OK?
And the safe is
in the floor under the desk.
The combination is 48, 5, 14.
48, 5, 14.
Yeah.
My phone.
My phone, Dad made me
put it in the safe.
Please get it for me.
All right.
He didn't want
anybody to track you.
Yeah, we'll get it.
Hey, if anybody come.
Pull the trigger till it click.
Hey, listen to me.
When we swim, you hold
your gun in your hand
so you don't drop it OK?
The Man from Atlantis
never drops his gun.
You're going to need
to stop calling yourself that.
Deal with it, Touch.
Hey, come on.
-Let's get in.
-Yeah.
Let's get moist.
The fuck, moist?
Let's get wet.
I prefer moist.
You know, no one would
blame me for fucking
drowning you, right?
I'd be pretty
broken up about it.
It's cold.
It's cold.
Shut up, Leon.
Go get him.
Hey.
We got off on the wrong fist
back at the house.
It was a crazy situation.
You was acting kinda crazy.
But I overreacted.
I apologize.
Apology accepted.
Can I see your face?
It's OK.
I'm I'm fine.
I'm OK.
OK.
You strong.
Seriously though,
your father's missing,
dead bodies turning up
everywhere,
and everybody expects you
to know what's going on.
Not to mention,
you've got to deal
with a brother out of nowhere
who has absolutely no love
for your father at all.
What do you
what do you mean by that?
It's none of my business.
We good now, right?
I'm here to help.
OK.
Thank you.
Um, thank you.
It would be a hell
of a lot easier, though,
if we knew why
these guys were after you.
I swear to you, I don't know
why this is happening.
OK?
Maybe it's something
that you have
or something you know
that they want?
You know?
Maybe something
Teddy told you before
he dropped you off
at that house?
Think, Imani.
I've been alone for a week.
OK?
All I could do was think.
I don't know why
this is happening.
I don't know what they want.
-OK?
-All right.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
You're safe.
You're safe now.
I'm gonna keep you that way.
Yeah.
I actually think my dad
would really like you.
I'm sure of it.
We gonna make it through this.
OK?
And if you do think of
something, you can trust me.
Sistas gotta stick together.
Shit!
I dropped my gun.
You did what now?
I said I dropped my gun.
Really, Leon?
Man from Atlantis, my dickhole.
-I fucking told you.
-Fuck you. Fuck you.
It's in the boat. I told you.
Shh, shh, shh.
Shit.
-No, no.
-They're going to get caught.
They're going to get killed.
No, we need to do something.
We can't just stay here.
We have to do something.
Hot food.
OK.
Stay here, OK,
and stay out of sight.
-No!
-I want to come!
I want to help!
Those are probably
the same guys that came
after you back at the house.
We don't know why, but you are
clearly what they want,
all right?
So you have to stay hidden
and stay out of sight.
Take this.
If anybody comes,
just pull the trigger.
Until click.
Yeah.
You got it.
Damn it.
Fuck.
Ah!
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Are you OK?
My hips.
My brand-new hips.
OK. Don't move. OK?
I'm gonna call for help.
Help!
Help!
It's clear.
Let's go.
OK.
What happened here?
He drove right in front of me.
Like, he was high or drunk
or high and drunk.
Hey, sister.
I think you should move back.
OK. You know what?
I know what this is.
This is one those guys.
He's like one
of those scam artists.
They jump out in front of cars.
I can't feel my legs.
Oh, come on.
You can't feel your legs?
Really?
You are not hurt.
You holding the wrong leg.
He's faking this shit.
You don't got no new hips.
Them hips look old as fuck.
You know you faking this shit.
You believing this?
Let's go.
This is feeling
way too much like walking
into dad's towing office.
Yeah, well nobody's breaking
your fingers this time, Joe,
not while I'm here.
Or while I'm here too.
Yeah. Thanks.
Look at you.
He turned over!
-Y'all saw that, right?
-Holy shit.
He faking this shit.
I think Cathy ran over
an old man.
I should sue you.
I do not deserve that woman.
It's total chaos.
Dad started a whole new family.
I wonder why
he wouldn't tell me.
I wonder if he stopped at two.
I don't how I didn't see it.
When do you think Teddy
started this new life?
I'm looking at Imani,
like, what, 25 years ago?
How often did you
see him back then?
Hardly never.
We barely even talked.
He used to take, like,
those tropical cruises
whenever it got
cold out and shit.
Found something special,
started a new life.
Can't fault a man for that.
I mean, I'm not faulting him.
I'm just saying,
if you're going to start
a new family, why wouldn't
you tell me about it,
you know?
At least I would have
pretended to be happy about it.
We don't have a lot of time.
Come on, y'all.
Help me with this
desk real quick.
Yeah.
On three.
One, two, three.
Damn it.
Leon!
I had the heavy side.
I had all the drawers.
Shh.
Found it.
Oh, shit.
Flare man.
It's Imani's phone.
There's something else in there.
What we got?
What we got?
A fucking flash drive.
No shit.
Hey, look.
Let's hit this computer.
We'll plug it in
and see what's on it.
Here.
Right here.
You guys find anything?
Fucking Leon!
Hey!
Where y'all going?
It's an injured old man
in the street.
God damn it.
Shit.
I knew you was faking!
-We gotta get to the boat!
-Yeah.
I'll cover you. Go!
Go! Go!
Go.
Fucker.
-What do we do?
-What do we do?
Do you know how to drive a boat?
-No.
-Well, can you figure it out?
How the fuck am I
supposed to figure out
how to drive a fucking boat?
Fucking shit.
-Just drive the fucking boat.
-I'll drive the fucking boat.
-Uh-uh-uh-uh.
-OK. OK. OK.
Don't even fucking
think about it.
Put that weapon down.
Don't you fucking move.
Shit.
Shit.
No.
Fuck.
Oh, you think you're smart,
huh, motherfucker?
Huh?
Ah, shit.
Hey, y'all.
Motherfucker, let me go.
Let me go! Let me go!
We let him go.
Shit.
Go!
I'll kill you, motherfucker.
Suck my dick!
Joe!
Oh, shit.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe!
Joe!
Joe!
Joe!
-Are you OK?
-Yeah.
Shit, did you do that?
Yeah, man.
Oh, shit.
Joe!
Oh, shit.
Hey.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Cathy, you saved our ass
with that ice cream man.
Hell yeah.
That's what I do.
Man.
Hey, I don't want to break up
the family reunion,
but we should really get
the fuck out of here.
No shit.
Let's go.
Oh.
You found him.
Yeah.
Just like this?
Just like this.
Would you care
to give me your name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Victim is male,
roughly 20 years of age.
Cause of death appears to be
a single gunshot to the head.
The size of exit wound indicates
a high velocity sniper rifle
shot from distance.
Hmm.
Motor oil sprayed on fingers
and palm of his right hand.
Oh, that's clever.
Someone took
the victim's fingerprints.
Did you go through his pockets?
No, why would I
Look chief
We're not all thieves here.
Yeah, well, not all.
Not all. OK.
Footprints and tire tracks
have been degraded by the wind.
But from the motor oil spread,
we can assume that the vehicle
was perhaps an SUV,
perhaps multiple occupants.
Hmm.
At least one occupant
armed with a handgun.
Hey, say, Chief.
Can I go?
Yeah, it's fine.
We are going to find whoever
did this to you, boy.
We're going to find them.

Why?
-And Dad?
-Have you spoken to my dad?
Why would I speak to your dad?

Oh, please, Auntie.
We really need to get inside.
My name is Phyllis,

weapons in my home.
Sorry.
How did you know that I
The way you carry yourself
betrays you.
-Really?
-Auntie.
-Yes?
-Please.
I was attacked
and they saved me.
Please let them in.
Please.
Please, enter.
Thank you for your
reluctant hospitality.
It's very authentic in here.
I like it.
Nice African décor.
I would of I would have
chose that too.
This is a wonderful
place though.
So?
Both of them aren't answering.
OK.
Tell me what's happening.
-Who attacked you?
-I don't know. I don't know.
Dad dropped me off and he
told me that he'd be back,
but something's happened.
I don't know where
he or my mom are.
My God.
I'm sure it's going to be fine.
I hate to interrupt,
but, um, we got
to get out of these clothes.
I'm prone to pneumonia.
Right then.
Yes, um, there is a room
right down this hall.
First room.
There's some clothes there
that were donated for people
in need, but you can
just help yourself
to whatever fits there.
Thank you, Phyllis.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Uh, excuse me.
You wouldn't happen to have
a bowl of rice
and a computer we can use?
There's rice in the kitchen,
and Imani can just
show you my computer is.
-Yeah.
-OK.
-OK.
-For sure.
Do you have a question for me?
Yeah.
I why, does the way I
carry myself betray me again?
Yeah. It does.
Good to know. OK.
Good to know.
Yeah, actually,
I was just wondering
how the hell did you know
That you were
in possession of a firearm?
Wow.
So you read body language
and you finish
people's sentences.
You'd make a pretty good cop.
Well, I'm a sangoma.
A sangoma, a healer.
-You've heard of us?
-Yeah.
I read a little
something about it
in the in-flight
magazine on the plane.
Oh.
You guys are kind
of like psychics, right?
No.
No.
We're actually
nothing like psychics.
No, I didn't mean that.
Not a psychic.
It's OK.
Do you not want to change?
I do.
I'm gonna go change.
OK.
Thank you, by the way,
for helping us,
on behalf of the Amer
the Americans.
Thank you.
Knock, knock
Utilizing fingerprints
from our victim,
I'm now entering the dwellings
of Mr. Ziri Coetzee.
The house is nice
and neat and clean.
Oh, except for sand
on the floor.
So whoever the victim met
in the desert
used his fingerprints to track
down his name and address
and came to this location.
Huh.
Two toothbrushes,
one black, one white.
We just need
to find out if this is family
or this young man was
in a relationship.
Hmm.
Oh.
What do we have here?
Ah.
The picture shows victim
with an older white man.
Hmm.
Perhaps the other toothbrush.
Um, kitchen is as clean
as the rest of the dwellings,
but there's still
nothing to indicate
why this young man
was in the desert,
or why he became victim
of such violence.
A can of cream soda
on the stove,
and some sticky
substance onto it
possibly taken from the fridge
within the last few hours,
but well after
the victim's death.
Possible source of fingerprints.
There we are.
I feel you, boy.
You are here.
Remembering when ♪
I saw your face ♪
Shining my way ♪
Pure timing ♪
Now I've fallen in deep ♪
Slow silent sleep ♪
It's killing me ♪
I'm dying ♪
You know who I am?
I do.
I also know what you are.
So you knew that I was coming
and you decided not to flee.
You Americans.
Admirable.
I thought about running.
Then I remembered just how much
I fucking hate running.
Hmm.
You know, centuries ago,
your ancestors invaded
my continent.
They routinely used alcohol to
intoxicate our tribal leaders
and cheat them out
of the rights to their land.
It was a sinful crime
that will always
bedevil my people.
Yeah, colonialism was fucked.
Still no reason to waste
a good single malt though.
Where is my heroin?
It could be anywhere by now.
Where?
Oh, I don't know where.
Here's one thing I do know.
I know you're full of shit,
and the only jerk-off here
dumb enough to buy your
Messiah bullshit is you.
I also know you're a coward.
And if it was just you and me,
I'd beat you half to death,
take a nap, wake up, I'd beat
the rest of you to death.
The same goes for you,
motherfucker.
As for your fucking
heroin we stole,
yeah, I played my part.
Tell you the truth,
it was fucking easy.
But if you really want to know
where it is, I'll tell you.
Mm.
Yeah.
But first, you're going
to have to get on your knees
and start sucking my fucking
No. No, no, no.
I want to take his fucking head.
Fucking Americans.
Where's my heroin?
Where's my fucking heroin?
All over you ♪
Warm sun ♪
Shit.
OK.
OK. OK.
Cathy, slow down.
Stop fucking leaning on me.
-I'm not leaning on you.
-I'm helping.
Ow! God!
-Shit!
-Sorry. Sorry.
Step on my foot again
and see what happens.
I can't see anything down here.
What the fuck?
There's there's
nothing here.
No.
No, no, no, no.
It was right here.
There was a wall of heroin,
700 kilos of it.
I counted every fucking one!
Yeah, well,
there's nothing here now.
Yeah, I can see that, Leon!
He fucking stole it.
He fucking took it back.
Who?
Teddy or Eddie Philsky,
whatever the fuck he's
calling himself these days.
Motherfucker!
I'm going to find him, Leon.
I'm gonna find him and I'm
gonna fucking kill him.
Cathy?
Teddy's dead.
Bullshit.
He knew I found his heroin.
He fucking moved it.
OK.
OK, look.
I know I know
you're upset right now,
but none of this matters, OK?
We don't need Teddy's heroin,
all right?
We should be glad and thankful
we're even fucking alive
in the first place.
Fuck that.
I took a bullet for this heroin.
Ain't no way I'm letting
Teddy fucking Washington
take that shit from me.
No fucking way.
Fuck!
Joe?
Joe, I can explain.
I I know what
this must look like.
But, Teddy, your dad, he
You knew Philsky was
my fucking father, didn't you?
You had me thinking
Jenn and Ange was in danger
all the fucking time.
Huh? All for what? Huh?
For your bitch ass
to cheat me out some heroin?
Heroin?
Fucking fucking heroin?
You
Fucking
Hit him again and you dead,
motherfucker.
I should have done this
on your wedding day.
