Judas
[knocking on door]
- [knocking continues]
- [Sean] Um. Coming.
[whispers] Hey, come in.
[normal voice] Oh, um,
sorry about that.
[Sean sighing]
I've been following your family
for years now.
Specifically your father.
Nobody in this country
gets rich that quickly
without getting their hands dirty.
What did you find?
[breathing heavily]
Um, amongst other things
an offshore account
registered to a ghost company
that belongs to your father
and another partner.
A week before he died, he requested
a transfer of 500 million rand
to the company here in South Africa.
Very risky.
Why?
Well, he died
before the transaction could be completed,
and I asked myself
why he would take such a risk.
A transaction of that size
would immediately be picked up
by SARS and the Reserve Bank.
And then I realized,
that's exactly what he wanted to do.
He wanted to be noticed.
He was pushing himself and his partner
out into the light.
Who were these partners?
Uh
I'm still working on that.
All that I have
are the transaction details
and account numbers.
That's why he offered me the company.
He knew that if he gets exposed,
he wouldn't be able to run the company
and they'd be forced to clean up.
Whoever was part of the ghost company
probably discovered the transaction
and, um, killed him
to stop it from going any further.
Where's the money?
In a bank
in Dubai, registered to a company
that just started trading in South Africa.
Uh, I-I'll get you more details
and I'll send it to you.
And I'll find out
who's on this account as well.
You sure you want to do that?
I have to.
Once you open that box,
you can't close it.
And if they were willing
to kill your father to stop him,
you might just end up the same way.
[Buhle scoffs]
[Mandla] Thulisile.
After all the amazing progress you made,
why did you repeat this again?
Like you don't know.
How could I?
[scoffs]
Zakhele was actually so right about you.
Dad, I spent my entire life
making excuses for you.
But turns out Zakhele was right all along.
You're just a bastard.
What the hell do you mean?
You won't talk to me in such a way.
But Dad, I have screwed up all of me
trying to be like you,
and you're evil.
Dad, you'll do anything
to get what you want.
Even if it means taking out
your own family.
[breathing shakily]
I don't [breathes deeply]
Thulisile, what are you talking about?
Our ma was too good for you.
She never stood a chance against you.
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
[muttering] Okay.
[laptop chimes]
[beeps]
[mumbling]
[beeps]
[camera shutter clicks]
- [Njabulo] What are you doing?
- Jesus!
[chuckles] I
- I live here sometimes, remember?
- Yeah.
I'm just on your mother's laptop.
I'm looking for something I left there
and I can't work it out.
You know I'm a PC man, so
[stammers] Find my way there and just
You could've just asked me to help you.
You would've saved so much time.
So, um,
maybe we can hang out.
Some other time, yeah?
I just came to fetch my boots.
I'm going to the stables to ride.
Cool, dude.
Dude?
- Yep.
- You're gonna show me Dude?
[knocking on door]
Come in, Uncle. [chuckles]
I hope that I'm not disturbing you.
Absolutely not.
Have a seat. [chuckles]
Thank you.
This is a surprise.
Yes.
I just heard that
the office of Quinton Titus
has just released some funds
for that project of yours.
Well done, Khanyi.
Of course, I know that
we aren't really that close
but I want you to always know
that Mandla
isn't my brother's one and only child.
Sure, I spend a lot of time with him.
And, yes, I hoped he would have been
the one to take over the company now,
but, you
Hey!
You always amaze us.
- [chuckles]
- Mmm.
I appreciate that, my Uncle.
If you need help with anything at all
Yes.
just let me know.
Will do.
- Listen, Uncle.
- Mmm?
If I may ask,
I'm trying to determine where my
father kept all his important paperwork?
Well, he mostly worked at the house
during those last few days.
May I ask, what is it you want?
[exhales deeply]
I'm still trying to piece together
what exactly my father was implicated in
before he died.
My brother's child.
Yes, Uncle?
I'll give you some advice.
Don't go looking for trouble out there.
- Have a good day, Khanyisile.
- [chuckles]
Thanks, Penny.
You replaced me with her? [groans]
I told you we couldn't risk you
on the team.
But she's useless, coach!
Njabs.
Just take it on the chin, all right?
Learn the lesson.
Work harder.
[Thulisile] Our ma was too good for you.
She never stood a chance against you.
[phone dings, buzzes]
[inhales deeply]
[phone rings]
Hey. How are you, my boy?
Um, Uncle. [panting]
Coach kicked me off the team.
Are you crying right now?
No, I'm not. It's just that
I'm angry.
Then you must let them see that.
Do you know who you are?
Uh, Njabulo?
Hey!
You're a Gatsheni.
You're an Ndlovu, okay?
And you don't take this bull.
Remind that fucking Andrew who you are!
Do you hear me?
Y-Yes, of course, Uncle.
- Good.
- [line beeps]
[seat belt clicks]
[engine starts]
- [tires squeal]
- [horn honks]
- Penny!
- [Njabulo] Andrew!
- You expect to compete
- Andrew.
you can't even see your stride. Not now.
Do you know who the fuck I am?
Excuse me?
My family owns this fucking establishment
and we pay your salary.
So, its either I'm on the team,
or the team is dead.
[Lungelo] Don't take it to heart, my love.
The kid just has a lot to deal with
in a very short space of time.
I never even thought about
how alone he must be feeling.
You should've seen how he jumped at me
when I arrived here.
And the other thing is
[exhale]the way he shouted out at me.
But I understand. [sighs]
I hurt him.
No, don't say that, baby.
You know, everything I'm doing,
I-I don't think it's helping.
It makes me question
the kind of parent I am.
You're a parent
who has made mistakes in the past
and you're working so hard
to rectify all of that.
Baby, you are a good parent.
You're doing a way better job
than what most our parents
could've ever done.
Thank you. You're right.
[inhales deeply]
You're always right.
[stammers] Can you say that again?
It's quite noisy around here.
[chuckles]
Listen, I have to go.
I want to make sure that
he's calmed down a bit.
It will all square up.
All right, thanks.
[phone beeping]
Hello?
Hey, Ma. [exhales]
Nido?
I miss you so much.
[inhales deeply] I miss you more, Ma.
[sniffles] Um, are you okay, my baby?
Why are you calling?
Um
Did you know that
Did you know that Dad is, uh,
gay?
Um
Sweetheart, who exactly told you that?
Nido, you know that your father and I
are extremely happily married.
Who told you this?
[panting]
[footsteps approaching]
Yes, Mummy?
And now?
What are you looking for?
Mum, do you know where Dad kept
all his important paperwork?
You should stop wasting your time.
Mum, all this is critical.
Mandla has absolutely no reason
to go ahead with that deal.
I found money to pay for the hotels.
What is most crucial now
is to find out who killed my father.
Therefore, Mum, please tell me.
Where did my father keep
his documents that were confidential?
[sighs]
[lock clicks]
[keypad beeping]
[door opens]
You be careful, Khanyi.
I will, Mum. I will.
Nido.
We need to talk.
Back to tell me more lies?
What do you mean by telling lies?
Dad.
I can't believe that
you lied about who you are my entire life.
Nido.
Your mom knew about it right away
from the start.
It's just that we have our own way
- of loving each other.
- Stop.
Stop lying!
I just spoke to Mum, okay?
And she has no idea
what you are talking about!
What do you mean you spoke to your mother?
When did that happen?
A few hours ago.
I told you never to call home from here!
You'll be easy to trace!
Jesus!
- What do I pay you for?
- [Mr. M] Excuse me?
He just called home.
Oh, shit. I'm sorry. We have to leave.
How could you not notice
that he had a phone?
- [Mr. M] Your phone. Give me your phone.
- What? Why?
[Mr. M] Pack. We have to leave.
Security has been doubled
as local gang attempts yet another hit
on Premier Navi.
This is Hloni Mosia reporting live
for Today News.
[phone ringing, buzzing]
Yeah.
[A6 leader]
You're testing my patience now.
[line clicks]
[softly] "Submission to"
[Sean] A week before he died, he requested
a transaction of 500 million rand.
And I asked myself

and then I realized,

And if they killed your father
to stop him,
you might just end up the same way.
[phone ringing]
UNCLE
- [phone beeps]
- Yes, Uncle.
[Vusi]
I'm just checking up on you, my child.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Yes, but, uh, I didn't find anything
out of the ordinary.
I wanted to say congratulations again
on your success, Khanyisile.
Much appreciated, Uncle.
Listen. I can't come with you.
It's too risky.
I want you to know
that I'm sorry about all this,
and also for adding more stress on you.
Nido.
- There's still a way to fix all of this.
- I don't want to talk about it, Dad.
- Nido.
- No.
[Mr. M] Mind your backs.
[Siya] Come over here.
Stay safe, Nido.
[Mr. M] Hey, come on.
Go, go, go!
[thunderclap]
[Khanyi] We need to talk, Brother.
Khanyisile.
You and I
have nothing to talk about right now.
Because none of this would've happened
if you had just walked away
and accepted defeat from the start.
And now it's clear.
Spear is done.
It's over, sinking fast.
Because of you.
So it's sinking
because of me?
I was not the one who sabotaged
the opening of the hotel.
I wasn't the one who sabotaged
our contracts that we secured
to build those hospitals.
And I wasn't the one who burnt my own
father's sugarcane fields to the ground.
For what, Mandla?
Father groomed me for this position.
He did it my entire life.
I worked hard for it.
And it suits me.
Do you think that if you're CEO,
Father will come back from the dead
and offer you your honor and say,
"Well done, my son"?
Or do you think Uncle Vusi
will be there for you?
What does Uncle have to do with this?
Do you think I don't know
what you've been doing with Uncle Vusi?
That my own brother and Uncle Vusi
are conspiring?
Ganging up against me.
Scurrying around in the dark.
Doing dubious things.
Even killing people.
Are you fucking stupid?
Can't you look
and see who you're working with?
I don't know
what the hell you've been smoking.
You're working with
the one who killed our father!
What?
It was Uncle Vusi who killed our father.
Here's the proof.
Take a look at it.
Our Uncle Vusi and our father
had an offshore account.
Along with some shady associates.
Father was tired of the corruption
and wanted to expose it,
but Uncle Vusi didn't want it to come out.
That's why he had our father killed.
[Mandla gasps]
[chokes]
- Mandla. Breathe.
- [hyperventilating] That can't be, sis!
- Breathe.
- [stammers] No. He's going to pay.
Oh, that he will.
But you and me
need to come to an agreement first.
From today onwards, Mandlakayise,
the sabotage has to stop
and you have to make peace with the fact
that I'm the CEO of Spear Industries.
If you want back into the family business,
you will have to support me
through and through.
Do you hear me, Brother?
Because if you don't do that, I will get
the whole family, including our mother,
to turn on you.
And I promise you,
Uncle Vusi, is going to pay
for all that he's done to us.
- [knocking continues]
- [Sean] Um. Coming.
[whispers] Hey, come in.
