>> HEY, MIKE.

>> HEY, BUDDY. OKAY.

IS THAT BETTER FOR YOU?

>> WHERE ARE WE?

>> WE ARE IN QUEENS IN FRONT OF

MY APARTMENT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WROTE OUT A

LIST OF QUESTIONS.

>> SCOTT. TAKE TWO.

PLEASE CLAP RIGHT IN FRONT OF

YOUR FACE.

THANK YOU.

>> ARE WE GONNA BE DOING A LOT

OF THIS?

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE

NEXT COUPLE WEEKS OF OUR LIFE.

WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE IN THE

MOVIES.

>> EXACTLY.

>> WELL, YOU'RE THE

DOCUMENTARIAN, AND I KNOW YOU'RE

GONNA DO A GREAT JOB.

>> BETWEEN YOU AND SCOTT, I AM

IN GOOD HANDS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

IT'S WINTER THERE, RIGHT?

>> YEAH.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

REWIND THAT WHOLE TAPE AND ASK

ME THAT QUESTION AGAIN 'CAUSE

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FUCKING

WINTER.

>> SOUNDS KIND OF SKETCHY, TO BE

HONEST.

>> I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO DOWN.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA DO YOUR

DOCUMENTARY, AND HOPEFULLY WE

GET SOME SHIT DONE.

>> I'M NOT SHOOTING A

DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A GUY THAT

WINS, NECESSARILY.

BUT AT LEAST I'LL COME OUT ON,

YOU KNOW, ON TOP ON SOME LEVEL.

>> HOWEVER THIS PLAYS OUT, I

JUST REALLY DON'T WANT THE SAME

THING TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE,

AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT IT

DOES, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS WILL

HELP.

>> I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE HERE TO

TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT

HAPPENED IN SOUTH AFRICA, SO, I

MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO JUST ASK

ME, THEN ASK ME.

IT'S A YEAR, SO I SHOULD BE

GOOD.

I MEAN, I'M A LITTLE

UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW.

IF WE COULD JUST LIKE...

MAKE IT QUICK AND PAINLESS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

LIKE A BAND-AID.

NO, WHATEVER.

LET'S JUST DO THIS.

LET'S JUST GET THIS DONE.

[ DISTORTED AUDIO ]

>> [ INHALES DEEPLY ]

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

MY NAME'S MIKE.

I'M PRETTY MUCH A

BARTENDER/ASPIRING ACTOR.

>> MIKE AND I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS

SINCE BASICALLY LIKE SIXTH

GRADE.

>> NED, SCOTT, AND I, WE GREW

UP, SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF

COLUMBUS, OHIO -- SPRINGFIELD.

>> WE GOT TO BE BUDS, YOU KNOW.

AND ALL THROUGH JUNIOR HIGH, YOU

KNOW, WE WOULD DO ALL THIS

STUFF.

WE WOULD GO OUT TO THE DANCES

TOGETHER.

>> AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT VERY,

VERY HIGHLY OF NED.

I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE

ARE TWO GUYS THAT LOOKED, TO ME,

THEY BELONGED TOGETHER.

THEY WERE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS.

>> SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, WE ALL

MADE OUR TO NEW YORK CITY.

WE'RE ALL DOING OUR THING HERE,

YOU KNOW.

AND TECHNICALLY, AM I AN ACTOR?

I DON'T -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

>> I MET MIKE ABOUT FOUR YEARS

AGO, AND REPRESENTED HIM FOR

ABOUT TWO OF THOSE YEARS RIGHT

AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT.

WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD RAPPORT.

HE'S VERY CHARISMATIC.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM A LOT OF

AUDITIONS.

CASTING DIRECTORS REALLY LIKED

HIM.

EVENTUALLY, HE BOOKED A NATIONAL

DEODORANT COMMERCIAL -- VERY

LUCRATIVE GIG.

THAT FILMED IN CAPE TOWN,

SOUTH AFRICA.

>> I MET THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL BY

THE NAME OF LEBOGANG.

AND HE SEEMED LIKE A NICE GUY,

A BUSINESSMAN.

HAD THIS SOUTH AFRICAN CHARM.

AT THE TIME, YOU KNOW, I WAS

KIND OF IN A GOOD PLACE

FINANCIALLY.

I JUST BOOKED THAT JOB, AND IT

PAID WELL.

SO, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I

GOT BACK TO THE STATES, HE

OFFERED ME A BUSINESS

PROPOSITION.

>> LEBOGANG CLAIMED TO HAVE

INHERITED A LARGE SUM OF MONEY

FROM HIS UNCLE AND SAID THAT HE

NEEDED MIKE'S ASSISTANCE IN

REMOVING THAT MONEY FROM

SOUTH AFRICA DUE TO AN OLD

APARTHEID-ERA LAW THAT WAS STILL

ON THE BOOKS.

AND FOR MIKE'S ASSISTANCE, HE

WOULD RECEIVE 10%, OR

APPROXIMATELY $450,000 U.S.

>> SO I, UM...

SO I WENT AHEAD AND INVESTED

SOME MONEY -- THE MAJORITY OF MY

MONEY.

>> IT WAS IN SMALL INCREMENTS AT

FIRST, AND THEN MORE AND MORE AS

LEBOGANG'S SUPPOSED ATTEMPTS

INCREASED.

THE TOTAL WAS ABOUT $10,000 OVER

A PERIOD OF NINE WEEKS.

THEN LEBOGANG SAID THE TRANSFER

HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND SENT

MIKE A LINK TO A BANK WEBSITE

FOR THE SWISS ACCOUNT.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MIKE

RECEIVED A CHECK AND DEPOSITED

IT IMMEDIATELY AND STARTED

SPENDING.

AND, OF COURSE, THE WEBSITE WAS

FAKE, ALONG WITH EVERYTHING

ELSE.

>> BY THE TIME THE BANKING

SYSTEM CAUGHT UP WITH IT, THE

DAMAGE HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE AND

MIKE WAS DEEPER THAN HE COULD

HAVE EXPECTED.

>> HE WAS ABOUT $30,000 IN DEBT

AND WIPED OUT.

>> THE 419 SCAM IS ACTUALLY

NAMED FROM THE SECTION OF THE

NIGERIAN PENAL CODE DEALING WITH

FRAUD.

IT'S REALLY A

SOMETHING-FOR-NOTHING DEAL.

BY ASKING FOR SMALL FEES PIECE

BY PIECE, IT DESENSITIZES THE

VICTIM TO WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY

DOING.

>> BUT THE WEIRD PART WAS, WAS

THAT I KNEW THE GUY.

>> MIKE'S CASE IS, IN ONE KEY

WAY, ATYPICAL IN THAT HE

ACTUALLY HAD MADE THE

ACQUAINTANCE OF THE SCAMMER.

>> SO IT SEEMED LIKE THE RIGHT

THING TO DO.

AND HE GOT ME.

>> MIKE HAD TO HAVE KNOWN, LIKE

FELT IT, FELT THAT IT WAS

WRONG -- YOU KNOW WHAT I

MEAN? -- LIKE, IN HIS GUT.

YOU KNOW THESE THINGS.

YOUR INTUITION TELLS YOU.

>> HE DOESN'T ALWAYS THINK.

AND HE DIDN'T THINK.

>> HE'S AN ACTOR, AND HE'S GOOD,

AND HE'S DEDICATED.

BUT, YOU KNOW, SOME ACTORS ARE

MORE GROUNDED, AND SOME AREN'T

SO MUCH.

>> BEING ONSTAGE, JUST

EVERYTHING IS GONE EXCEPT FOR

WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THAT

MOMENT.

JUST TO ESCAPE MY WORLD IS WHAT

I GET EXCITED ABOUT.

SO WHEN I'M NOT ACTING, IT'S

KIND OF DIFFICULT.

>> THERE WAS NO STABILITY, AND I

THINK SOMEONE LIKE MIKE NEEDS

STABILITY.

>> HE HAS A TENDENCY TO LIVE

BEYOND HIS MEANS, AND, YOU KNOW,

PARTY A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN HE

SHOULD.

>> HE'S NOT A VERY RESPONSIBLE

PERSON, YOU KNOW?

>> HE'S NOT INCAPABLE OF CHANGE.

HE SHOULD BE DOING GREAT.

AND HE WILL.

HE JUST NEEDS TO GET OVER THIS

HUMP.

>> FOR THE VICTIMS OF THESE

FRAUDS, IT'S A TERRIBLE SHOCK.

>> WHEN YOU BEFRIEND SOMEONE AND

YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST THEM AND

THEN THEY STRING YOU ALONG

AND...

>> AND WHEN THEY REALIZE THAT

ALL OF THIS IS FALSE...

>> IT'S A PRETTY AWFUL FEELING.

IT'S NOT EASY TO SWALLOW THAT.

>> SO NOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

NOT ONLY TO HELP OUR FRIEND BUT

ALSO MAYBE TO MAKE SOMETHING

THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF, ALL

THREE OF US.

>> YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I'M IN A

PLACE WHERE I'VE GOT ENOUGH

MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE

SOMETHING TO HELP OUT.

>> SO, MR. NED AND MY FRIEND

SCOTT CAME TO ME AND OFFERED ME

AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO

AFRICA AND SEE IF WE COULD FIND

THIS MOTHERFUCKER.

[ LAUGHS ]

>> DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING AT ITS

BEST.

>> SO, WHAT I WANT TO PRESENT TO

YOU...

>> MM-HMM.

>> THIS IS FOR ME.

AND THESE ARE FOR YOU.

>> OOH.

>> AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO HELP

ADD TO THE -- ADD TO THE SCENE

BY TAPING -- FILMING WHATEVER

YOU WANT.

>> MINE'S GOT A LOW BATTERY

ALREADY.

ALL RIGHT, YEAH.

>> OH, WOW.

>> BUT YOU CAN'T BE THE

DOCUMENTARIAN, TOO.

>> I'M THE DOCUMENTARIAN.

>> CAMERA ONE AND CAMERA TWO.

THIS IS FANTASTIC.

>> I'VE GOT THE HOTEL BOOKED.

>> WE'RE GONNA GO MEET UP WITH

EZRA, MY BUDDY DOWN THERE.

HE'S GONNA TAKE US AROUND TO

FIND LEBOGANG.

>> HELL OF A DOCUMENTARY, NED.

>> IT'S GONNA GET BETTER.

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD.

>> IT'S GONNA GET BETTER?

>> YEAH.

IT'S GONNA BE LESS RIDICULOUS

BANTER AND MORE DOING STUFF.

>> WELL, AT SOME.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> LITTLE MINI CARS, LIKE THE

MATCHBOX CARS.

>> NOT GOOD ENOUGH, SCOTT.

>> LAME.

>> OH, LOOK WHO'S THERE.

>> OH, SHIT. IS THAT MIKE?

THAT LOOKS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT

LIKE FLIRTING TO ME.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> NO, IT LOOKS LIKE A SPIRITED

CONVERSATION.

>> QUICKLY.

>> HE'S IN A HURRY.

>> OKAY. DON'T WORRY.

WE'LL CATCH UP.

>> HEY!

>> HEY!

>> OH!

>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

GUYS, COME IN.

COME IN AND BE FRIENDS WITH US.

>> EMILEA AND I HAVE BEEN

TOGETHER FOR JUST ABOUT A YEAR.

>> I DATED MIKE FOR A BIT.

>> THEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF

AGO, MIKE PRETTY SERIOUSLY

CHEATED ON EMILEA, AND, YOU

KNOW, I WAS THERE FOR BOTH OF

THEM.

THEY'RE BOTH GREAT FRIENDS OF

MINE.

IT WAS A PRETTY BAD SITUATION.

WE SORT OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER

AND WE SAID, "WHY NOT US?"

WHICH IS PROBLEMATIC IN MANY

WAYS, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH

BEING OUR BUDDY MIKE.

>> I LOVE CORONAS WITH LEMON.

>> IT WAS WEIRD FOR A WHILE, BUT

MIKE GOT OVER IT.

FOR THE MOST PART.

>> NED, GO AWAY, NED.

>> HI, NED.

>> HI.

>> YOU KNOW HOW MIKE'S BEEN

TALKING ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA?

>> YEAH.

>> SO, WE HAVE DECIDED THAT

WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN THERE.

>> THEY, LIKE, SPRUNG IT ON US.

WHY AM I HEARING THIS FROM

SCOTT?

I WASN'T SUPER-ENTHUSIASTIC, BUT

THEN I CAME TO TERMS WITH, LIKE,

THE TRIP ITSELF AND, LIKE, WHAT

THIS MEANT TO THEM, YOU KNOW,

AND I THOUGHT IT SEEMED LIKE A

NICE IDEA.

>> WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN, AND

WE'RE GONNA LOOK FOR THIS DUDE.

>> WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD

IDEA TO GO INDULGE MIKE LIKE

THIS?

>> I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS A GOOD

IDEA.

>> THE ONLY REASON WHY I WENT

ALONG WITH THIS WHOLE THING WAS

THAT SCOTT WAS LIKE, "THIS IS

GONNA BE A GOOD GUYS' TRIP."

BUT IT JUST SEEMED SO

NOT-THOUGHT-OUT, JUST SO

IMPULSIVE AND RECKLESS.

>> IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING OUT

ON A WHIM TRYING TO FIND THIS

GUY.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE LEADS.

A FRIEND OF MINE DOWN THERE WHO

SOMEHOW, ROUNDABOUT, THROUGH

FRIENDS OF FRIENDS, KNOWS HIM.

>> WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF YOU

FIND THIS GUY?

>> SCOTT AND I HAVE DEAL THAT IF

WE GO THAT -- IF WE DO FIND THIS

GUY, THAT I REPORT HIM TO THE

PROPER AUTHORITIES.

PROPER CHANNELS -- I DON'T

NECESSARILY WORK THAT WAY.

>> LIKE, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE

GONNA BE SAFE DOWN THERE?

>> ALL WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE

DOING A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH

THAN THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO

DO.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO DOWN THERE

AND WE'RE GONNA CHECK IT OUT.

AND ALSO, WE'RE GONNA CHILL OUT

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

>> SO PESSIMISTIC.

>> NO, IT'S NOT PESSIMISTIC.

IT'S ABOUT BEING SAFE, AND IT'S

ABOUT LOOKING AHEAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE, COME ON.

>> THERE'S NO GUNS INVOLVED.

>> THIS ISN'T "BLOOD DIAMOND,"

OKAY?

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> WAIT A SECOND.

I FEEL FOR YOU, MIKE.

I THINK IT'S AWFUL THAT THIS HAS

HAPPENED TO YOU, THAT THIS GUY

STOLE ALL THIS MONEY FROM YOU.

BUT WHY AREN'T YOU CALLING THE

COPS HERE?

LIKE, YOU KNOW ONE GUY FOR A

WEEK, AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA GO

TO SOUTH AFRICA?

I'M NOT BEING A MOM, BUT...

>> THIS IS NOT "COPS."

>> ...THE THREE OF -- OKAY, I'M

NOT BEING A MOM.

>> I MET THE GUY.

>> DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA BE

LIKE -- WHAT?

YOU MET THE GUY THAT STOLE THE

MONEY FROM YOU?

>> YEAH, I MET THE GUY.

ACTUALLY, RIGHT NOW I'M NOT

REALLY FEELING THE PESSIMISM, SO

I'M GONNA HAVE TO SPICE IT UP A

LITTLE BIT.

>> WHAT?

>> SPICE IT UP.

>> I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

SHOTS. EXCUSE ME.

>> SHOTS.

>> I WISH YOU HAD MAYBE INVITED

ME OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?

>> IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

>> NED.

>> WHAT?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, FOR THE

BOTH OF US, THAT THIS ONE IS NOT

RESPONSIBLE, AND YOU TWO, WHEN

YOU'RE DOWN THERE, YOU NEED TO

KEEP SHIT TOGETHER.

>> OF COURSE.

IT'S A COUPLE DAYS.

>> MY WIFE IS SAYING, "YOU CAN'T

LET HIM GO."

AND I'M SAYING, YOU KNOW, IT'S

HIS OWN LIFE.

HE'S HIS OWN MAN.

I TOLD HIM TO BE CAREFUL.

>> I THINK THAT IT'S GOOD FOR

HIM, MAYBE TO GET SOME SORT OF

VALIDATION OR CLOSURE OR

SOMETHING.

>> AND IF CHASING THIS GUY,

LEBOGANG, IS GONNA DO THAT, THEN

IT'S PART OF THE DEAL.

BUT REGARDLESS, IT SOUNDS

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

>> IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, AND

IT'S DECEIVING BECAUSE THERE'S A

LOT OF FUCKED-UP STUFF THAT GOES

ON DOWN THERE.

>> IT'LL BE PRETTY, AND IT'LL BE

INTERESTING, DEFINITELY.

BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THERE'S NO

CHANCE MIKE'S GONNA FIND THIS

GUY AND GET HIS MONEY BACK.

>> SO, I DIDN'T THINK THAT THERE

WAS AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF DANGER.

>> HEY, BABE.

I MISS YOU, TOO.

WE'RE, UH...

WE'RE ON THE WAY.

YEAH.

NO, NED'S FILMING ME.

ALL RIGHT, I LOVE YOU, TOO.

BYE.

JESUS CHRIST, DUDE.

>> WHAT?

I LOVE YOU.

I'LL TALK TO YOU VERY SOON.

>> GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT'S GONNA

HAPPEN.

BUT, HEY, MAN, IT'S GONNA BE AN

ADVENTURE.

>> I MEAN, WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON

HERE, YOU KNOW?

WHAT THE FUCK ELSE DO I HAVE TO

DO?

>> FOR MOST PEOPLE, THE FANTASY

OF ACTUALLY GOING TO AFRICA

REMAINS JUST A FANTASY.

IN MIKE'S CASE, HE HAD SOME

FRIENDS WHO HAD SOME MEANS.

THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS FOR HIM.

>> HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING IN

HOLLAND?

>> IT'S AWESOME SO FAR.

>> SO, WE'RE IN AMSTERDAM.

THIS PLACE IS SO DUTCH.

>> THEIR SOLUTION TO HIS

DEPRESSION AND FEELING OF

HELPLESSNESS IN HIS LIFE WAS TO

CREATE THIS TRIP.

>> I'M IN ECONOMY.

>> IN THEIR MINDS, I DON'T THINK

IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A MANHUNT.

THEY HAD THE BEST OF INTENTIONS,

AND, ALL THE SAME, THINGS DID GO

SPECTACULARLY WRONG.

>> WE ARE APPROXIMATELY FIVE

MINUTES INTO OUR FLIGHT, AND

ALREADY WE'VE BEGUN GOING

INSANE.

>> CAPE TOWN.

>> MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE SAID A

LOT MORE.

I DON'T KNOW.

>> YAY.

>> WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, MAN?

>> HEY. WHAT'S UP?

>> WE WERE IN ROW LIKE 4,000.

>> LOOKING FOR YOU, MAN.

>> I'M OKAY. I'M OKAY.

>> YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO POP UP.

>> YES! YES! [ LAUGHS ]

>> [ Laughing ] OH, MY GOD.

>> WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU,

BROTHER?

>> AHH, MY MAN.

DUDE, THIS IS EZRA.

>> HEY, MAN.

>> THIS IS EZRA.

>> HOW'S IT GOING, BRO?

NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> EZRA -- HE IS A CHARACTER.

WE JUST HIT IT OFF.

THE GUY KNOWS CAPE TOWN LIKE THE

BACK OF HIS HAND.

HE TALKS TO EVERY LADY HE EVER

SEES.

IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING YOU'LL

EVER SEE.

HE COULD TALK THE PANTS OFF A

NUN.

DEFINITELY HAS A LOT OF LEADS OF

WHERE THIS GUY COULD BE.

THROUGH HIS CONNECTIONS, I THINK

IT SOUNDS PRETTY PROMISING.

>> WELCOME, LADS.

>> ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

>> YEAH.

IT IS COLD.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST SIGHT YOU

SEE IN CAPE TOWN.

>> HELLO. HI.

>> IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I LIKE CAPE TOWN.

>> WHOA.

>> NICE.

>> THIS IS MY RIDE, MAN.

>> LOVE IT.

>> THAT'S YOUR CAR?

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT ARE YOU FINGERING THAT

CAR FOR?

>> THAT JUST POPS THE CHERRY.

>> WHAT IS THAT?

>> WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE?

[ LAUGHS ]

>> WOW.

OKAY, SO, WHERE DO WE PUT OUR

BAGS?

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> THIS GUY, HUH?

>> HE WAS AN EX-CON -- MOSTLY

PETTY CRIMES, NOTHING REALLY

VIOLENT.

HE DID SOME JAIL TIME IN HIS

TEENS FOR SELLING DRUGS BUT WAS

RELEASED EARLY FOR GOOD

BEHAVIOR.

HIS RECORD AFTER THAT WAS PRETTY

CLEAN.

HE WAS KNOWN AROUND THE

NEIGHBORHOOD, CERTAINLY BY THE

CAPE TOWN POLICE.

[ HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ]

>> JUST TO LET THEM KNOW THAT

THE DRIFT KID IS IN TOWN, DUDE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> DUDE, I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT.

>> THIS IS GONNA BE OUR...

>> THIS IS WHERE WE'RE STAYING,

GUYS.

>> THIS IS WHERE WE'RE STAYING?

>> WHOA!

>> NICE!

>> YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

>> I'M READY. I'M READY.

JUST OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> WELCOME, GUYS.

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR MY

BOY.

>> I'M FEELING GOOD, MAN.

>> WOW.

>> CAN YOU HEAR THAT SUBWOOFER?

>> [ Laughing ] OH, GOD.

>> FRIDAY NIGHT, GUYS.

IT'S GONNA BE BIG TONIGHT.

ARE WE GONNA, UM...

ENTERTAIN OURSELVES, OR ARE WE

JUST GONNA STAY AT HOME?

>> WE GOT TO CHILL.

>> I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN TO

THAT, SERIOUSLY.

>> THIS IS LONG STREET.

LOOK AT THIS.

>> DO YOU HEAR THAT?

WE WERE SITTING ON A PLANE FOR

TWO DAYS.

>> EXACTLY, SO I WANT TO GO TO

SLEEP.

>> OKAY, GUYS.

WELL, LOVELY MEETING YOU, MEN.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> LOVELY MEETING YOU GENTLEMEN.

>> I'LL SEE YOU.

>> [ SIGHS ]

>> DON'T WORRY.

WE'RE GONNA GO OUT.

WE'RE GONNA SEE THIS TOWN.

LET'S CHECK OUT THE REST OF THIS

PLACE, HUH?

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> UH-OH.

HUH.

>> OKAY. UH, SCOTT?

>> THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS

GONNA BE TWINS.

UH...

[ LAUGHS ]

>> YOU GUYS ARE HERE DOING ME A

FAVOR, SO I'LL JUST HIT THE

COUCH.

>> ARE YOU SURE?

>> I'M GOOD.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE -- I MEAN, WE

CAN TAKE TURNS OR SOMETHING.

>> I'M GOOD.

I FUCKED UP.

I MADE SOME POOR DECISIONS IN MY

DAY.

THIS IS A BIG ONE.

[ DIALING, BEEPING ]

>> WHAT'S UP?

>> WHAT'S UP? HOW'S IT GOING?

>> I MEAN, WE'VE WALKED AROUND A

LITTLE BIT -- THE

NEIGHBORHOOD -- TODAY, AND THIS

PLACE -- I MEAN, THIS CITY IS

UNBELIEVABLE.

THIS PLACE IS JUST SO IMPOSSIBLY

BEAUTIFUL.

YOU KNOW, I'M CARRYING AROUND

THIS CAMERA, AND I JUST -- MIKE

AND SCOTT ARE CONSTANTLY

BADGERING ME TO HURRY UP BECAUSE

I STOP AND I'M POINTING THE

CAMERA AT EVERYTHING.

HANG ON.

I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING HERE.

[ MOUSE CLICKS ]

OH, THAT'S WAY BETTER.

I JUST FULL-SCREENED YOU.

>> [ Laughing ] OH, GOD.

[ DRUM BANGING ]

>> GREENMARKET SQUARE IS THIS

BIG KIND OF SQUARE FULL OF

VENDORS AND PEOPLE, AND IT'S

PACKED WITH STALLS AND PEOPLE

SELLING CRAFTS AND CLOTHING AND

JEWELRY.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

>> YOU CAN'T FIND STUFF LIKE

THIS ANYWHERE IN SOUTH AFRICA,

ONLY HERE, MAN, ONLY HERE.

>> MY MAN.

>> HELLO, HELLO.

>> HOW ARE YOU THIS AFTERNOON?

>> FOR MY BEAUTIFUL COMPANION,

I'M GETTING HER SOME LOVELY

BRACELETS.

THEY ARE RED TO MATCH THE FIERY

NATURE OF HER SOUL.

>> YOU ARE SUCH A HAM.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> BUSINESS?

>> NO. EZRA.

"MZOLI'S! YEAH!"

>> WHAT?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

>> WHAT THE HELL IS MZOLI'S?

>> I HAVE NO IDEA.

>> I DON'T KNOW.

I'M GONNA CALL HIM.

>> CALL HIM BACK.

>> [ CLICKS TONGUE ]

>> THREE TONES.

>> NO, WE JUST GOT IT.

WHAT THE HELL IS MZOLI'S?

IS THAT...

REALLY?

HE SAYS IT'S LIKE THIS CRAZY

BARBECUE THAT EVERYONE GOES TO.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT TIME?

CHANCES ARE IT COULD BE A GOOD

SPOT TO SEARCH.

LIKE, IF EVERYONE FROM THE

TOWNSHIP GOES THERE, WE CAN ASK

AROUND.

>> ALL RIGHT. COOL.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

>> IN THE EARLY '60s, YOU KNOW,

ONCE APARTHEID BECAME SORT OF

LIKE LEGISLATION, THEY BEGAN THE

FORCED REMOVALS.

THEY MOVED THE BLACK PEOPLE FROM

THE ORIGINAL SETTLEMENTS AND

DISPLACED THEM.

SO THE WHOLE IDEA WAS

DISPLACEMENT TO CREATE

CONFUSION.

>> THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

>> SO, GUYS, CHECK IT OUT.

WELCOME TO GUGULETU.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE IN "GUGS," YOU

ALWAYS ARRIVE IN STYLE.

[ HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ]

THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT.

>> YEAH!

>> YEAH, BOY!

>> COOL.

>> MR. EZRA -- IN THE AFTERNOON,

HE DID TAKE US TO THIS REALLY

COOL PLACE CALLED MZOLI'S.

IT'S A BRAAI.

IT'S LIKE A COMMUNITY BARBECUE

WHERE THEY JUST COOK UP JUST

UNTOLD -- UNTOLD PIGS AND COWS,

AND THINGS WERE SLAUGHTERED

EVERY NIGHT FOR THIS THING.

>> THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

>> AND THE WHOLE PLACE IS JUST A

HUGE SCENE.

AT EVERY TURN, THERE'S SOMEONE

ELSE THAT'S BEAUTIFUL AND

INTERESTING AND COLORFUL AND

WHATEVER.

I MEAN, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, NOT ONLY IN

TERMS OF THE SCENERY BUT JUST

THE PEOPLE ARE -- LIKE, EVERY

FACE IS JUST KIND OF GORGEOUS IN

A WAY.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

>> TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?

>> THESE ARE THE SONGS OF

CAPE TOWN, MAN.

>> WHOO!

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

>> HEY, LISTEN.

>> YEAH?

>> I KNOW YOU'RE HERE ALL DAY

DOING YOUR THING.

I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.

THIS GUY NAMED LEBOGANG.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF HIM?

YOU KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE,

RIGHT?

BUT LISTEN, MAN -- I APPRECIATE

IT.

>> SO, WHAT ARE YOU GIRLS UP TO

LATER?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

>> LEBO IS A KEY GUY.

>> FUCK, MAN.

[ HORN HONKS ]

>> OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE SEARCHING

FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK,

AREN'T YOU?

>> THESE GUYS AREN'T IN THE

BUSINESS OF BEING FOUND.

>> DON'T DO ANYTHING DUMB.

>> I WON'T.

I'LL TALK TO YOU SOON, OKAY?

>> OKAY. I LOVE YOU.

>> I LOVE YOU. BYE.

>> BYE.

[ MOUSE CLICKS ]

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS

SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED --

IF I CAN FIX IT, IF...

>> I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD A YEAR

LIKE THAT.

THE EVIL STARS ALIGN, AND ALL OF

A SUDDEN, YOUR PERSONAL LIFE IS

IN THE TOILET AND YOUR

PROFESSIONAL LIFE SEEMS TO BE

GOING NOWHERE, AND EVERY SINGLE

THING IS TUMBLING DOWN AROUND

YOU, AND I FEEL LIKE MIKE'S IN

THE MIDDLE OF THAT RIGHT NOW.

BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS, I THINK

THE IMPORTANT PART IS THAT HE

FEEL THAT HE MADE -- HE DID

SOMETHING PROACTIVE.

IF HE CAN FEEL THAT HE'S IN

CONTROL, THEN...

THEN IT'LL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT.

>> I LIKE THAT.

>> SO, YEAH, GENTLEMEN, WE'RE

GOING TO KHAYELITSHA TODAY,

WHICH MEANS "OUR NEW HOME."

SO THERE'S SOME KIND OF

OPTIMISM, YOU KNOW, AND HOPE IN

THAT, RATHER THAN JUST CALL IT

THE PLACE WHERE WE WERE DUMPED,

YOU KNOW.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT FORT GREENE OR

ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS ARE USED

TO, YOU KNOW.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

>> SO, WHO ARE WE GONNA GO SEE?

>> WHY DO YOU GUYS WANT TO KNOW

EVERYTHING, MAN, HUH?

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

>> WHATEVER YOU'RE ASKING, IT'S

GONNA APPEAR, NO?

>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH WANTING TO

KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?

>> [ Chuckling ] SOMETIMES...

>> ALL THE TIME.

>> SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE TO

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GONNA

GO SEE.

>> IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR A

CRIMINAL, THOUGH, I'D LIKE TO

KNOW WHERE IT IS WE'RE GONNA BE.

>> SO, THIS IS MY GUY MUMI.

[ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

>> TWO DAYS, THREE DAYS.

>> OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.

TWO OR THREE DAYS AGO HE SAID HE

SAW HIM LAST.

>> MUCH APPRECIATED, BROTHER.

MUCH APPRECIATED.

>> TOWNSHIP TOURS I WOULD NOT

RECOMMEND.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT'S A

GREAT IDEA TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW

POVERTY IS DONE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO A

TOWNSHIP TO SEE THIS.

YOU CAN JUST DRIVE DOWN THE

MOTORWAYS OUTSIDE OF

JOHANNESBURG.

YOU CAN SEE THE TOWNSHIPS THERE.

>> OH, BOY.

>> THIS DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE A

PLACE WHERE YOU COULD FIND SOME

DUDE.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE,

THOUGH.

>> THERE'S MUCH NICER THINGS TO

BE ABLE TO SEE.

BUT TO GO AND SEE TOWNSHIPS?

I DON'T KNOW.

>> WE'RE GOING TO AN INTERNET

CAFé.

IT'S ONE OF THE SPOTS MY FRIEND

WORKS AT.

HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO POINT US IN

THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> A LOT OF THESE GUYS, UM...

THEY'LL PAY OFF THE OWNER SO

THEY CAN SIT WHEN THE INTERNET

CAFé IS CLOSED, AND THERE'S NO

I.P. ADDRESS THAT'S REALLY

FOUND, SO WHATEVER THEY SEND VIA

E-MAIL OR WHATEVER, UM...

>> HAS NO RETURN ADDRESS.

>> NO RETURN ADDRESS, AND THAT'S

USUALLY HOW THEY DO IT.

THE OWNERS GET PAID.

[ HORN HONKS ]

THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.

LET'S DO THIS, HUH?

[ CHILDREN PLAYING ]

>> ALL RIGHT.

[ CONVERSING IN AFRIKAANS ]

>> OH, SORRY.

>> ENGLISH.

>> SORRY, GUYS.

FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

>> ENGLISH? COOL. COOL.

THANK YOU.

>> NO, I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR

LEBO, BROTHER.

>> LEBO?

>> YEAH.

>> NO, I'M SORRY.

I DON'T KNOW LEBO.

>> HE DOESN'T WORK HERE?

>> HE DOESN'T WORK HERE.

>> NOT LIKE LATE NIGHT?

>> I DON'T KNOW LEBO.

>> EZRA, ISN'T THIS THE -- THIS

WAS THE PLACE --

>> YEAH, I MEAN --

>> HOLD ON A SECOND.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

HEY, DO YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED

LEBOGANG?

>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?

DO YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED

LEBOGANG?

>> LEBO WHO?

>> LEBOGANG.

>> UH, I'M JUST A CUSTOMER.

I CAME IN YESTERDAY.

>> MIKE.

>> YEAH?

>> HOLD ON, MAN.

I MEAN, WE GOT TO RESPECT THE

MAN'S JOB.

>> I KNOW. I KNOW.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THERE'S NO LEBO HERE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

>> EXCUSE ME. HI.

>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

>> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

>> PLEASE JUST TAKE THE CAMERA

OFF.

>> MIKE, IT'S OKAY.

>> PLEASE GO AWAY. WALK AWAY.

PLEASE. OKAY.

>> THIS IS BULLSHIT.

THAT WAS BULLSHIT.

>> THAT WAS SKETCHY, MAN.

EZRA, I THOUGHT THAT...

>> YEAH, THAT WAS BULLSHIT.

>> ...THAT GUY KNEW SOMETHING.

>> HE KNEW SOMETHING.

>> I DON'T THINK HE KNEW

ANYTHING.

HE'S A FRIEND OF MUMI'S.

>> YEAH, NOW HE'S LAUGHING.

I SAW HIM LAUGHING.

>> I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

THAT WAS WEIRD.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

>> OKAY, THANKS, BROTHER.

SHOW ME.

>> MAN, THANKS.

>> THANK YOU, BROTHER.

[ CHILDREN SHOUTING ]

>> [ CHUCKLES ]

>> THIS IS HIS MOM.

>> WHAT'S SHE SAYING?

>> DOES HE LIVE HERE?

>> SO, IS HE HERE?

DOES SHE KNOW WHERE HE IS?

>> SHE DOESN'T KNOW, MAN.

SHE SAID SHE'S REALLY CONCERNED.

SHE'S ACTUALLY ASKING US.

>> YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOUR

SON IS?

>> [ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT

YOUR SON DID TO ME?

>> MIKE, SHE DOESN'T KNOW

ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

>> YOU CAN'T SCREAM AT THIS

WOMAN.

>> IT'S HIS MOM.

>> MIKE, CHILL OUT.

>> IT'S BULLSHIT.

>> I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK.

>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> IT JUST MEANS THAT SHE HASN'T

SEEN HIM.

>> HE'S BEEN RIPPING PEOPLE OFF

THE WHOLE TIME.

DUDE, THIS IS NOT WORKING.

>> BUT CHECK IT OUT, MAN.

WE CAN'T SCREAM AT OLD LADIES.

>> NO, OF COURSE WE CAN'T SCREAM

AT OLD LADIES.

>> REMEMBER, I SAID THERE'S A

WAY TO DO THIS.

>> BUT, EZRA, WE CAN'T KEEP

WALKING AROUND THIS TOWNSHIP

LIKE THIS.

>> SCOTT, I SAID THERE'S A WAY

TO DO THIS.

>> WHAT'S THE WAY?

YOU'VE BEEN SAYING ALL DAY...

THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

>> YEAH, MAN, THIS IS NOT

WORKING.

LISTEN, MAN, WE CAN'T BE

SCREAMING AT OLD PEOPLE, MAN.

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

>> ANY OF YOU GUYS NEED A

RESTROOM?

YEAH, LET'S GO THIS WAY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> WE BASICALLY SPENT THE WHOLE

DAY, OR A GOOD CHUNK OF IT,

WANDERING FROM PLACE TO PLACE

AND PERSON TO PERSON LOOKING FOR

LEBOGANG.

WE GOT TO SEE -- WE GOT TO MEET

A LOT OF PEOPLE AND SEE A GREAT

DEAL OF A PLACE THAT I THINK NOT

A LOT OF PEOPLE GET TO SEE.

>> THEY HAVE THESE TOWNSHIPS

WHERE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING.

THERE'S STILL THIS HOPE AND THIS

ENERGY AND THIS VIBRANCE THAT

JUST RADIATES OUT OF THESE

PEOPLE, AND IT'S INFECTIOUS.

IT'S AMAZING.

>> [ SPEAKS AFRIKAANS ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> WHEN YOU GO TO A TOWNSHIP,

THEY SEE YOU AS A RICH WHITE

PERSON OR A RICH PERSON.

YOU CAN GO UP TO A GUY AND SAY,

"CAN I TAKE YOUR PICTURE?"

AND THE GUY WILL SAY YES, AND

YOU CAN GO DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU

START TAKING PICTURES OF

SOMEBODY ELSE AND YOU DIDN'T ASK

HIS PERMISSION, AND THAT CAN GET

OUT OF HAND, AND THERE IS NO

PROTECTION FOR YOU.

THE POLICE WON'T BE AROUND TO

PROTECT YOU.

>> WHAT'S EZRA DOING OVER THERE?

HE'S ALWAYS TALKING TO SOMEBODY.

>> I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE THAT GUY WAS KIND OF

PISSED OFF AT US FOR BEING IN

HIS NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS

UNDERSTANDABLE.

>> THIS GUY?

>> THAT'S THE GUY.

THAT'S THE GUY WHO KNOWS.

>> HEY! HEY!

>> MIKE!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

>> THAT'S NOT THE WAY.

>> NO, MAN.

>> WHAT WAS THAT?

>> I JUST SAW.

>> NOBODY SAW HIM.

>> WHO ARE WE CHASING?

>> THAT'S THE GUY.

>> THAT'S THE GUY WHO KNOWS

LEBOGANG.

>> THIS IS GETTING INTENSE.

>> OH, FUCK.

>> CERTAINLY THE, YOU KNOW,

NICEST THING TO BE DOING IN

PEOPLE'S HOMES.

SORRY.

>> JESUS CHRIST.

>> LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

>> I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I'M NOT STOPPING.

I'M NOT STOPPING.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> DUDE, WE'RE NOT GONNA...

>> HE'S GONE, BRO.

>> THIS IS NUTS, MAN.

>> SHIT!

>> IS THERE A PLACE TO GET,

LIKE...

[ HORN HONKS ]

A PLACE TO GET SOMETHING TO

DRINK?

>> SO MANY KIDS ON THE STREETS

HERE, MAN.

>> GO FOR SOMETHING COLD RIGHT

ABOUT NOW.

>> IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE THING

TO SPARK VIOLENCE IN TOWNSHIPS.

IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO

BE THE TOURISTS.

IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU COULD BE GOING PAST A

SHABIN, AND LOCAL GUYS ARE

FIGHTING.

AND IT SNOWBALLS INTO SOMETHING

ELSE, AND YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

AND IT CAN GET VERY VIOLENT.

>> HOLD UP.

>> WHAT?

>> [ SPEAKS AFRIKAANS ]

>> YEAH, DUDE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> [ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

>> WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE GOT?

>> DUDE, WHAT IS...

>> FUCKING GUY.

>> EZRA, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH

THE GUN?

>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MAN.

THAT FUCKING GUY IS PISSING ME

OFF.

[ SIGHS ]

SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO, YOU KNOW,

HANDLE SOME -- SOME BUSINESS.

ME AND THAT GUY HAVE BUSINESS TO

HANDLE, YOU KNOW, AND IT DOESN'T

CONCERN YOU.

IT'S BETWEEN ME AND HIM.

>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

>> I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT

IT.

>> IT'S JUST -- I'M SORRY.

>> SO, YOU GUYS STILL WANT THAT

BEER OR WHAT?

>> IT'S A GREAT COUNTRY TO

VISIT, AND, LIKE I SAID, JUST BE

CAREFUL.

>> LOOK, I UNDERSTAND.

I HAD A GUN ON ME, YOU KNOW.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I HAVE TO DO IN

THIS CITY.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE IN A

POSITION TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I

CARRY A GUN.

24 HOURS IN A DAY, MAN.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS.

>> I JUST THINK WE NEED TO

RECONSIDER WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE

A LITTLE BIT.

THIS WAS WAY MORE INTENSE THAN

WHAT WE PLANNED ON, AND I THINK

WE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK.

>> OKAY.

SO, WE'RE ALREADY DRINKING A

BEER.

THAT'S NOT A BAD START.

>> MIKE NEEDS TO CHILL OUT.

>> IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE

DEFINITELY GOING ABOUT THIS THE

WRONG WAY.

NOBODY REALLY DID HAVE A CLUE

WHERE THIS GUY WAS, AND IT'S

LIKE, WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO

FIND A GUY LIKE THIS?

>> HERE YOU GO.

IF I GET, UH...

IF I GET FOUR HOPS, WE'RE

FINDING THIS MOTHERFUCKER, ALL

RIGHT?

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> ONE. ONE HOP.

>> EZRA IS LIKE ONE OF THOSE

GUYS YOU'RE NEVER QUITE SURE IF

HE'S LIKE -- IF HE'S A...

YOU'RE NEVER QUITE SURE WHAT'S

IN IT FOR HIM.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT'S IN IT

FOR HIM AT THIS POINT.

I KEEP WAITING FOR THE OTHER

SHOE TO DROP.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE, HE'S GONNA, LIKE, TURN

AROUND AND -- I DON'T KNOW.

IT COULD BE LIKE TURN AROUND AND

ASK US FOR A DONATION OR

SOMETHING.

>> WE BETTER GET GOING, MAN.

>> ALL RIGHT.

NOTICE HOW I JULIENNE THE

MUSHROOMS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WHAT?

[ THUD ]

>> FUCKING KIDDING ME!

>> MIKE?

>> THAT DID NOT SOUND GOOD.

>> WHAT'S UP?

>> LOOK, CAN YOU TURN THE

FUCKING CAMERA OFF, PLEASE?

>> I'M SORRY.

I WAS, YOU KNOW, WONDERING

WHAT'S UP.

>> YOU REALLY WANT TO FUCKING

KNOW ON YOUR DOCUMENTARY?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

MY AGENCY DROPPED ME, OKAY?

TURN THE FUCKING CAMERA OFF.

>> WAIT. ALL RIGHT, DUDE.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

>> [ SIGHS ]

>> DUDE, TURN THE CAMERA OFF.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

TODAY WE WERE WANDERING AROUND

WITH EZRA.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM -- MIKE'S

FRIEND.

>> YEAH.

>> WE WERE GOING TO THESE

TOWNSHIPS, AND WE WERE, LIKE,

RUNNING THROUGH ALLEYWAYS, AND

MIKE WAS SCREAMING AT THIS OLD

LADY.

I MEAN, HE'S LIKE SO...

HE'S SO INTENSE.

YEAH, BUT, SO...

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE

DOING.

TOTALLY.

I WISH YOU WERE HERE.

I GOT TO BRING YOU BACK HERE

SOMETIME.

YOU THERE?

CAN'T SEE YOU.

EM?

FUCK.

SERIOUSLY, DUDE?

>> [ SNIFFLES ] I'M SORRY.

[ Voice breaking ] I DIDN'T

THINK IT WAS GONNA BE THIS BAD.

>> YOU WANT TO DO THE HONORS?

>> SURE.

>> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL

RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

>> DAY 4.

I JUST GOT TO TAKE THIS.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

>> YOU EXCITED TO GO TO PRISON?

>> YES.

>> NO. NEXT WEEK.

YEAH. NEXT WEEK.

I KNOW.

NO, I LEFT EVERYTHING WITH JOHN.

OKAY. OKAY. BYE.

>> THIS PRISON WAS BUILT IN

1963.

AND I'M ALSO GOING TO TAKE YOU

TO THE CELLS WHERE, OF COURSE,

NELSON MANDELA AND THE OTHER

POLITICAL LEADERS WERE KEPT.

>> MANDELA'S CELL IS THE ONE

WITH THE WINDOW OPEN.

>> WE ARE TRYING TO GET CONTROL

OF CYBERCRIME IN SOUTH AFRICA.

PEOPLE HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL

ON WHO THEY TRUST WHEN THEY COME

TO A THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY.

THERE IS A LOT OF POVERTY IN

THESE PARTS OF THE WORLD.

AND YOU WILL BE SUCKED INTO IT

VERY, VERY EASILY, SO JUST HEED

THE WARNINGS.

>> [ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

IS HOLLY AROUND OR MILO, JUST

SOMEBODY THAT I CAN...?

NAH, SO I'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE

TEXT.

EXCELLENT, MAN.

YOU KNOW WHO'S TALKING?

YEAH, BROTHER. WHAT'S UP?

OH, MY GOD.

>> SO, WHAT ARE WE DOING?

>> HE'S LAYING SOME GROUNDWORK,

I GUESS.

LET HIM DO HIS THING.

YOU KNOW, ANYTHING SOUNDS SCARY

TO YOU GUYS.

>> I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD BE

WARY, TOO, BUT...

>> I THINK YOU'RE JUST WARY IN

GENERAL, MAN.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> BROTHER, PART OF THE REASON

THAT WE'RE HERE IS MY BROTHER

GOT RIPPED OFF THE LAST TIME HE

WAS IN SOUTH AFRICA, SO IF I'M A

LITTLE WARY, I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP MAKING THESE

COMMENTS LIKE I'M ALL UPTIGHT.

BUT THE REASON I'M UPTIGHT IS

BECAUSE OF WHY WE'RE HERE.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

>> LET'S JUST GO THIS WAY.

>> OVER HERE?

>> YEAH.

JUST FOLLOW ME.

>> WHAT'S OVER HERE?

>> THERE'S ONE OTHER GUY WE GOT

TO JUST CHECK REAL QUICK.

I JUST REMEMBERED.

>> SO, THIS IS WHERE YOUR FRIEND

LIVES?

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY

LIVES HERE.

>> HIS PHONE'S ON VOICE.

>> ARE YOU SURE YOU GOT THE

RIGHT HOUSE?

>> I'M JUST GONNA CHECK...

>> WHAT?

>> SEEMS LIKE IT'S A...

>> YO, EZ?

>> ...CRAZY PLACE.

>> JUST HOLD ON ONE SECOND, MAN.

>> WHERE'S HE GOING?

>> WHERE IS HE?

NO, I DON'T SEE HIM ANYMORE.

>> YOU KEEP SAYING THAT IT'S ALL

COOL, IT'S ALL FINE.

I MEAN...

>> LOOK, HE'S DOING THIS TO HELP

US, MAN.

HE'S OUR TICKET TO WHERE WE NEED

TO BE.

>> MIKE.

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT YOU LIKE

THIS GUY.

I KNOW THAT HE'S YOUR FRIEND.

BUT IF HE KNEW WHERE THE GUY

WAS, WE WOULD HAVE FOUND HIM

ALREADY.

>> THIS ISN'T WHERE WE GREW UP.

THIS IS CLEARLY THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE WORLD, ALL RIGHT?

>> WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM

OVER ME?

I DON'T GET YOU, MAN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING

ON.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING

THROUGH YOUR HEAD ANYMORE.

>> LOOK, I MEAN, AT THE END OF

THE DAY, WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.

EZRA'S YOUR FRIEND, BUT, LIKE,

HOW MUCH CAN HE REALLY HELP?

SO...

>> I MEAN, IN ALL FAIRNESS, IF

WE CAME DOWN HERE ON OUR OWN --

ON OUR OWN WHIM, THEN IT WOULD

HAVE JUST BEEN FUCKED.

WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING.

>> SO FAR, WE HAVEN'T DONE

ANYTHING.

HE SEEMS LIKE A REALLY NICE GUY,

BUT THERE'S --

>> HE'S NOT A BAD GUY, MAN.

>> THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT

HIM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, DUDE.

>> SO, MAYBE WE CAN JUST HOP IN

A TAXI AND GO TO THESE

TOWNSHIPS.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

>> I'M SAYING WHY ARE WE EVEN

GOING TO THESE TOWNSHIPS?

>> BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO FIND

A GUY.

>> WHERE DID YOU MEET HIM, MIKE?

WHERE DID YOU MEET THIS GUY?

>> I MET HIM IN AN OKAY AREA.

>> YOU MET HIM AT THIS

CAFé CAPRICE PLACE.

WE DROVE PAST IT TODAY.

THAT DID NOT LOOK LIKE A

TOWNSHIP TO ME.

>> SO IF HE'S A FUCKING SCAMMER

AND HE WANTS TO TAKE PEOPLE'S

MONEY, YOU THINK HE'S GONNA TAKE

IT FROM SOMEONE IN A TOWNSHIP?

WHAT ARE YOU, STUPID?

>> ALL I'M SAYING IS WE NEED TO

TAKE A STEP BACK.

>> HEY.

>> I NEED 100 RAND REAL QUICK.

>> WHAT?

>> JUST GIVE ME 100 RAND REAL

QUICK, MAN.

>> WHAT DO YOU NEED IT FOR?

>> UM, I JUST GOT TO GET

SOMETHING REALLY QUICKLY.

>> I GOT IT, MIKE.

>> APPRECIATE IT.

I'LL COME BACK. JUST ONE SECOND.

>> THAT WAS WEIRD.

>> YEAH.

[ ENGINE REVVING ]

>> WELL, YOU GUYS SURE LOOK NICE

ON-CAMERA.

>> [ CHUCKLES ]

>> GO FUCK YOURSELF, NED.

>> [ CHUCKLES ]

>> SO, CHECK IT OUT.

[ BOTTLES CLINKING ]

THOUGHT WE MIGHT NEED SOME LOCAL

REFRESHMENTS.

SO, THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A

STONEY.

IT'S A GINGER BEER.

SCHWEPPES GRANADILLA.

CLASSIC COCA-COLA.

>> OH, IT'S FANTA.

>> YEAH. YEAH.

BUT THIS IS LIKE A SPECIAL

SOUTH AFRICAN FLAVOR.

>> OKAY.

>> OKAY?

SO WE'LL TRY ALL THESE, AND THEN

I'VE GOT...

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> I'VE GOT LIKE A -- HERE'S

YOUR CHANGE, SIR.

>> OH, HEY, THANKS, MAN.

>> THANK YOU.

IT'S GOOD SHIT.

>> [ COUGHS ]

UGH. IT'S...

[ LAUGHS ]

IT'S REALLY SWEET.

[ COUGHS ]

>> IT'S A NICE SHOT, THOUGH, OF

SUGAR.

[ LAUGHTER ]

AND WE NEED SUGAR IN OUR LIVES,

DON'T WE?

YOU KNOW WHAT, GUYS?

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF

INSPIRATION?

WE'RE GONNA TAKE A NICE LITTLE

TRIP TO SIGNAL HILL.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

>> IS THAT A MOSQUE?

>> YEP.

>> WHAT ARE YOU, EZRA?

DO YOU GO TO A MOSQUE?

>> SOMETIMES I GO TO A MOSQUE.

EVERYONE I KNOW BELIEVES IN

SOMETHING.

>> AND WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?

>> YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT

WE'RE NOT PERFECT, AND WE -- YOU

KNOW, MOST OF US TRY TO DO OUR

BEST.

BUT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WE FIND

OURSELVES IN SITUATIONS.

YOU KNOW, YOU SEE IN SOME OF THE

PLACES I'VE SHOWN YOU GUYS.

SURVIVAL ISN'T EASY, MAN.

YOU KNOW, JUST IMAGINE HAVING NO

FAMILY, YOU KNOW?

>> YEAH.

>> NO ONE OUT THERE TO GIVE YOU

A HAND, YOU KNOW, OR, YOU

KNOW, SPEAK A POSITIVE WORD.

ALL YOU HAVE IS, "HEY, I HAVE TO

SURVIVE."

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

>> SAW SOME GOOD STUFF TODAY.

>> YEAH, IT WAS COOL.

IT WAS VERY NICE, BUT STANDING

IN FUCKING LINES, I MEAN, THAT'S

NOT LETTING LOOSE.

THAT'S FULFILLING A CERTAIN

AMOUNT OF PICTURE QUOTAS THAT,

YOU KNOW, YOUR RESPECTIVE

GIRLFRIENDS NEED, YOU KNOW.

LIKE, LET'S JUST FUCKING RELAX

AS BUDS.

>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S GO OUT.

LET'S SEE -- LET'S...

>> ALL RIGHT, WHERE DO YOU WANT

TO GO, THAT PLACE YOU GUYS WERE

TALKING ABOUT?

>> THAT PLACE IS CLOSED.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE I FUCKING

MET THE GUY, SO WHY NOT GO

THERE?

WE CAN HAVE A COUPLE DRINKS AND

JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, LET

LOOSE FOR A LITTLE BIT, YOU

KNOW?

>> THAT WOULD WORK.

THEN LET'S GO.

>> EZRA, YO.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT GOING TO

CAPRICE TONIGHT?

>> LOOK, TRUST IS A BIG THING

FOR ME, MAN.

IF YOU DON'T TRUST THAT, YOU

KNOW, I'M WORKING SOMETHING OUT,

THIS IS GONNA BE A DIFFICULT

PROCESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I MEAN, ALL YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW

IS ME.

>> IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T TRUST

YOU.

SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE YOU'RE

NOT TELLING US EVERYTHING.

>> COME ON, MAN.

I'M TELLING YOU GUYS

EVERYTHING -- EVERYTHING.

>> ALL RIGHT, NO, IT'S COOL.

IT'S COOL.

>> SO, ANYWAY, LOOK.

LET'S GO TO THIS CAPRICE PLACE,

AND LET'S BE DONE WITH THIS

NO-TRUST SHIT, MAN.

>> NO, HEY. LET'S...

LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> YOU GUYS COMING?

>> YEAH, WE'RE COMING.

WE'RE COMING RIGHT NOW.

>> IT'S GETTING CLOSE NOW,

RIGHT?

>> YEAH, WE'RE GOING DOWN

HERE -- CAPRICE.

>> OH, IS THAT IT?

>> NOW, HOPEFULLY YOU'LL MEET

SOMETHING THAT'LL HELP LOOSEN

YOU UP, SCOTTY.

>> I AM LOOSE.

I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU KEEP SAYING

I'M SO NOT LOOSE ABOUT.

>> [ GRUNTS ]

>> HEY, SCOTT.

>> SOME TUNES.

CAN WE LOOSEN UP A LITTLE BIT?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING ]

>> CAN I GET A, UH, JACK AND

>> YOU GOT NO BOURBONS?

>> [ SCOFFS ]

>> I'LL GET US SCOTCH ON THE

ROCKS.

>> NICE.

>> WHAT?

>> MAYBE THIS GUY KNOWS WHERE

LEBOGANG IS.

>> WHAT'S UP? HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> HEY, LISTEN, I HAVE A

QUESTION FOR YOU.

UM, I'M LOOKING FOR THIS GUY,

OKAY, NAMED LEBOGANG.

>> OH, COOL, BUT I --

>> DO YOU KNOW -- I THINK HE

HANGS OUT A FEW TIMES.

>> HE COMES HERE.

HE COMES HERE, BUT --

>> YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM

OR...

>> OH, NO, NOT REALLY.

SORRY, MAN.

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HIM?

>> NO, IT'S OKAY.

IT'S JUST PERSONAL STUFF, YOU

KNOW, BUT, UH, I DON'T WANT TO

GET INTO IT, BUT -- YOU KNOW

WHAT I MEAN?

BUT, UH, FUCK!

UM...

I'M FUCKING SICK OF THIS, MAN.

IT'S BEEN ALL DAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

LISTEN, I'M PARTYING, OKAY?

I'M KIND OF MAD THAT...

AGAIN, WE WON'T FIND THIS GUY,

AND, UH...

>> DUDE, WHAT -- WHAT IS THAT?

>> IT'S A TOKEN OF SOUTH AFRICAN

APPRECIATION.

>> NO, DUDE!

I'M FILMING THIS.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M FILMING.

>> I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, SO I'M

IT, OKAY?

BECAUSE...

'CAUSE, LIKE, IT'S BEEN FOUR

DAYS NOW.

OKAY?

AND I'M JUST GONNA DO A LITTLE

BUMP BECAUSE...

I'VE -- WE'VE JUST BEEN RUNNING

IN CIRCLES, AND I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE TO DO.

>> I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S

THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD

TO FIND SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T

WANT TO BE FOUND, OKAY?

SO --

>> I KNOW!

NED, I KNOW.

I'M JUST GONNA...

>> OKAY. OH, JESUS CHRIST.

AND IT'S GONE.

THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S FUCKING GREAT, DUDE.

[ SIGHS ]

NED, FUCK THE MONEY, MAN, BUT

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUCKING

LONGER I CAN DO THIS, NED, OKAY?

>> WELL, THIS ISN'T HELPING,

DUDE.

>> OH, IT'S NOT?

BECAUSE I THINK IT IS.

>> NO, IT'S NOT.

I'M REALLY GLAD THIS CAMERA'S ON

>> YEAH, I'M GLAD, TOO.

>> ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT,

DUDE?

SO, HAVE FUN.

>> GO.

>> ASSHOLE.

DUDE, CAN WE GO OUTSIDE FOR A

>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> HE'S DOING COKE, DUDE!

I WALKED IN ON HIM.

HE WAS, LIKE --

COKE?!

I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR,

LIKE, WHAT, FOUR DAYS?

>> THIS IS MORE OF THIS?

WAIT, HOW MUCH OF THIS HAVE YOU

GOT?

>> I HAVEN'T -- I HAVEN'T PAID

FOR ANY OF THIS.

>> DID YOU BRING IT?

DID YOU BRING IT WITH YOU?

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

>> YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SOUNDS

LIKE?

IT SOUNDS LIKE AN INQUISITION.

GOOD LUCK, MAN.

>> UH, I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A

LITTLE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT'S

GOING ON.

>> OH, WOW, A CONVERSATION.

>> YEAH, ACTUALLY, WE DO NEED TO

HAVE A CONVERSATION.

>> YOU NEED BEERS, MAN.

>> NO, WE DON'T NEED A BEER,

WHAT HAPPENED?

>> UH...

>> I SEE YOU DOING A LINE OF

COKE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU

HAVE -- WHERE YOU GET IT.

>> THAT I CAN EXPLAIN, BUT ONLY

IF YOU TURN THE CAMERA OFF.

>> NO, I'M NOT GONNA TURN THE

CAMERA OFF.

>> OKAY. DON'T TURN IT OFF.

>> WE DON'T NEED A DOCUMENTARY

RIGHT NOW.

>> WE DO.

>> NO, 'CAUSE WHEN HE'S -- WHEN

HE'S SOBER TOMORROW...

>> HE'S A DOCUMENTARIAN.

>> ...I WANT HIM TO SEE THIS

FOOTAGE.

I WANT TO SHOW IT TO HIM.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW HE LOOKS

RIGHT NOW.

>> HE IS A FILMMAKER.

>> BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A

COKEHEAD RIGHT NOW, AND I JUST

DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE --

>> WHAT'S GOING ON, MIKE?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

>> I -- I'LL TELL HIM.

I'LL PUT IT ON-CAMERA.

>> PLEASE PUT IT ON-CAMERA.

TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON.

>> I'LL PUT IT ON-CAMERA.

WHAT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN IS

THAT, UM...

>> PLEASE EXPLAIN.

>> ...WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER WAS

THAT WE SAW OUR FRIEND SCOTT...

UM, PRETTY MUCH CHEATING ON THE

LOVED ONE.

>> OKAY.

>> AND...

>> THAT'S -- THAT'S NOT -- YOU

KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS GOING

ON, RIGHT?

>> NO, NO, NO, NO.

>> I GET IT, MAN.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.

>> WE DO GET IT.

>> OUR FRIEND OVER HERE CAN'T

HANDLE HIS OWN REALITY.

YOU HAVE TO THROW EVERYTHING

ELSE ON SOMEBODY ELSE.

NOTHING'S YOUR FAULT, IS IT?

IT'S MY FAULT BECAUSE I'M

DANCING WITH SOME GIRLS.

I'M THE ONE WHO'S BLOWING

EVERYTHING UP.

I'M THE ASSHOLE.

NO, MIKE, ACTUALLY, YOU'RE THE

ASSHOLE RIGHT NOW.

YOU LEFT US ALONE IN THIS

FUCKING BAR...

>> WHAT, ARE YOU A 4-YEAR-OLD?

>> ...TO COME BACK AND BLOW

LINES WITH SOME DUDE WHO'S GOT A

FUCKING GUN IN HIS CAR, WHO WE

DON'T KNOW FOR NOTHING.

>> YOU CAN'T HANDLE YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE A BLAZER ON, AND YOU

CAN'T HANDLE YOURSELF.

THAT'S FUNNY.

>> YOU'RE ALWAYS FUCKING LIKE

THIS.

>> WHAT?

>> IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU.

IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW GREAT YOU

ARE, HOW EVERYTHING'S GOING

RIGHT FOR YOU.

YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT US,

YOUR FRIENDS.

WE BROUGHT YOU DOWN HERE, MAN,

TO HELP YOU, AND INSTEAD, YOU

THROW IT IN OUR FUCKING FACE!

>> THE PATRONIZING CONTINUES.

YOU HAVE THIS ON -- YOU HAVE

THIS ON-CAMERA.

>> IF YOU DIDN'T ACT LIKE A

CHILD, MIKE, MAYBE WE WOULDN'T

HAVE TO PATRONIZE YOU.

>> WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PATRONIZE

ANYBODY.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO TALK TO YOU

LIKE -- WE'RE TRYING TO TALK TO

YOU LIKE AN ADULT AND, LIKE,

L-LIKE, YOUR FRIENDS.

>> OKAY.

>> AND IT'S -- IT'S --

>> WHICH APPARENTLY WE'RE NOT

BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY GIVE A

SHIT ABOUT US.

>> I DON'T. YOU'RE RIGHT.

>> IT'S CLEAR.

>> I DON'T 'CAUSE -- 'CAUSE, UM,

SCOTTY OVER HERE GETS A COUPLE

BUCKS AND SPENDS ALL OF HIS

MONEY ON TRYING TO BRING ME BACK

FROM THE DEAD LIKE A CHARITY

CASE WHEN YOU SHOULD STICK TO

SOFTWARE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

YOU'RE GOOD AT.

>> RIGHT.

>> 'CAUSE --

>> SO I SHOULD APOLOGIZE FOR THE

FACT THAT I'M TRYING TO HELP MY

FRIEND.

NO, YOU JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE

FACT THAT I'VE GOT A LITTLE

SUCCESS.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FACT THAT

I'M TRYING TO PULL YOU OUT

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, ALL YOU ARE

IS A FUCKING UNEMPLOYED ACTOR.

>> YES, OH!

NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE!

HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

>> YOU USED TO BE SOMEBODY WE

CARED ABOUT.

>> WE GOT SOMEWHERE.

HE BROUGHT IT UP.

>> YOU USED TO BE SOMEBODY WHO

DID SOMETHING.

>> THE BUZZ WORD IS ON.

I GET IT.

NO, NO, WE -- NO, TURN THE

CAMERA TO HIM SO WE CAN FILM HOW

SUCCESS TREATS ONE OF YOUR BEST

FRIENDS, 'CAUSE NOW WHEN I'M

DOWN IN THE DUMPS, HE LIKES TO

TAKE A POOP ON ME, AND THAT --

>> BEEN TRYING TO FUCKING HELP

YOU FOR A YEAR NOW!

>> CAN WE JUST CALM DOWN PLEASE

FOR A SECOND?

>> I'M BEEN TRYING TO HELP YOU

WITH EVERYTHING!

>> I HAD TWO FUCKING --

>> WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

>> TWO UNSUCCESSFUL DAYS TRYING

TO FIND THIS FUCK WHO RUINED MY

LIFE, AND WHAT HAPPENED?

I GO OUT, AND I HAVE A GOOD

TIME.

>> MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO CALM

DOWN A LITTLE, RIGHT?

>> NED, LET THIS PLEASE TAKE

PLACE.

>> HE'S DOWN IN THE DUMPS, AND

HE THINKS EVERYONE'S AGAINST

HIM.

YOU GOT NO PLAN.

YOU GOT NO DIRECTION.

>> ONE TIME.

>> IT'S JUST ABOUT -- LISTEN TO

WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT?

>> I'M SICK OF --

>> THIS IS ME.

>> NED.

>> THIS IS ME, AND THIS IS

SCOTT.

>> FUCKING CAMERA.

GET THE FUCKING CAMERA OUT OF MY

FACE!

SINCE FUCKING THE DAY I MET YOU,

THE DAY I MET YOU, YOU'VE NEVER

RELAXED ONE FUCKING TIME!

>> LIKE YOU?

>> PERHAPS -- PERHAPS JUST ONCE

MAYBE -- MAYBE PERHAPS JUST ONCE

THAT EMILEA WOULD FUCK YOU LIKE

SHE USED TO FUCK ME -- JUST

ONCE.

>> THINK EMILEA LIKES FUCKING ME

JUST FINE BECAUSE EMILEA IS

GONNA BE WITH ME FOR THE REST OF

MY LIFE.

SHE'S GONNA BE MY FUCKING WIFE,

ASSHOLE, SO DEAL WITH THAT!

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> [ COUGHS ]

>> MIKE!

M-- HEY!

[ SIGHS ]

DUDE, TURN THAT FUCKING CAMERA

OFF.

NED, TURN THE CAMERA OFF!

>> I'M TURNING IT OFF.

>> IT'S NOT EXACTLY CLEAR WHAT

HAPPENED AFTER THAT.

ACCORDING TO NED, EZRA CALLED

THE NEXT MORNING TO SAY THAT HE

HAD HEARD FROM THE OWNER OF THE

INTERNET CAFé, WHO, FOR SOME

REASON, DECIDED TO GIVE THEM

INFORMATION ABOUT A VERY LIKELY

LOCATION FOR LEBOGANG -- A HOUSE

HE'D BEEN RENTING IN

KHAYELITSHA.

SO THE GUYS DECIDED TO GIVE IT

ONE MORE SHOT, AND IF IT DIDN'T

WORK OUT THIS TIME, THEY'D CALL

IT A DAY.

>> [ COUGHS, SNIFFS ]

[ SNIFFS ]

>> WHY DO I THINK IT'S A GOOD

IDEA?

I...

I MEAN, YOU KNOW MIKE.

HE'S A -- HE'S A GREAT GUY.

HE'S JUST IN A BAD WAY RIGHT

NOW.

HE DOESN'T ALWAYS PLAN THINGS

OUT.

NOW, I DON'T REALLY EXPECT US

TO, YOU KNOW, TRACK DOWN THIS

PERSON, BRING HIM TO JUSTICE,

AND GET THE MONEY BACK AND ALL

OF THIS, BUT I'M EXCITED ABOUT

TAKING THIS TRIP.

UM...

YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN HIM

FOREVER, AND I CAN HELP HIM OUT

RIGHT NOW.

HE'S MY BOY.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I LOVE HIM.

>> MIKE.

LISTEN, MAN, I'M SORRY ABOUT

LAST NIGHT.

I'M SORRY I...

I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT

EMILEA A LOT EARLIER.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO THROW IT AT YOU

LIKE THAT.

I...

JUST KIND OF PISSED ME OFF.

I GUESS THIS WHOLE THING HAS

BEEN KIND OF FRUSTRATING AND...

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU CARE A LOT ABOUT HER,

AND...

I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY...

TO HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU'RE

STILL MY BROTHER, MAN.

YEAH.

>> [ SNIFFLES ]

HEY, LISTEN, UM...

EZRA, MAN, I, UM...

I FORGOT MY WALLET BACK AT THE

FLAT, AND, UH, I MIGHT NEED IT

TODAY, SO...

>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> WE COULD JUST SPIN AROUND.

UH...

>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> FORGOT YOUR WALLET?

>> YEAH, IT'S...

WE COULD JUST, LIKE, TURN AROUND

HERE SOMEWHERE.

>> NO, DUDE, I MEAN, DON'T WORRY

ABOUT IT.

I'VE GOT MONEY.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

>> YEAH, YEAH, YOU'RE GOOD.

YOU'RE GOOD.

>> I GOT YOU, MIKE -- NO

PROBLEM.

>> YEAH, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT

WE'RE DOING LATER ON FOR LUNCH

AND STUFF, SO I JUST --

>> MAN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,

MAN.

>> WHATEVER.

>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MAN.

COME ON.

>> THIS IS THE HOUSE, YEAH.

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

>> JESUS!

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

WHOA, WHOA!

EZRA, WHAT THE FUCK?!

WHAT THE --

>> TURN THAT --

>> I FIRST HEARD THAT -- THAT

THERE WAS A PROBLEM, UH...

FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND.

T-THAT'S THE DAY THAT MY -- MY

LIFE HAS NEVER -- HAS YET TO

RECOVER FROM.

>> I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM SCOTT'S

E-MAIL ADDRESS.

UH...

AND IT HAD A VIDEO WITH IT.

I HATE THAT I THOUGHT THIS.

BUT AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS A

JOKE.

I THOUGHT SCOTT WAS JUST BEING

FUNNY OR...

>> EMILEA CALLED ME.

AND SHE WAS LIKE, "I NEED YOU TO

COME INTO MY OFFICE."

I WENT OVER.

SHE STARTED SHOWING ME IN HER

OFFICE THIS TAPE.

[ CONVERSING IN AFRIKAANS ]

>> THE VIDEO SHOWED THE THREE

VICTIMS BOUND AND GAGGED AND A

MAN, BARUTI, SPEAKING TO THE

CAMERA.

HE DEMANDED $2 MILLION FOR THE

SAFE RELEASE OF HIS VICTIMS,

WHICH IS PRETTY HIGH, ESPECIALLY

FOR NONOFFICIAL PERSONNEL.

>> THREE DAYS.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

THREE DAYS!

>> [ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]

>> THERE WAS NEVER MUCH CHANCE

OF HIM RECEIVING THAT KIND OF

MONEY.

>> AND I ASKED HER IF IT WAS

REAL, AND SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT

IT WAS AND THAT SHE'D ALREADY

CONTACTED THE POLICE.

>> AFTER THAT, IT WAS LIKE A

WHIRLWIND INVESTIGATION OF

QUESTIONS, AND, LIKE, I FELT

LIKE I WAS JUST...

NONSTOP QUESTION, QUESTION,

QUESTION, QUESTION.

>> WHEN WE HAD TALKED TO YOU

LAST, WHAT YOU WERE DOING IN

SOUTH AFRICA, WHERE YOU WERE

STAYING, WHO YOU KNEW THERE, IF

YOU WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME, IF

WE WERE HAVING, LIKE,

RELATIONSHIP TROUBLES, WHICH I

THOUGHT WAS WEIRD.

BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF

INFORMATION FOR US.

>> WELL, IN A SITUATION LIKE

THAT, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT

YOU'RE DEALING WITH ARE ALWAYS

ON EDGE.

UH, THEY WANT INFORMATION

YESTERDAY, AND THERE WASN'T

REALLY A LOT OF MOVEMENT, SO

THERE WASN'T REALLY A LOT TO

SHARE WITH THEM.

>> SO, IT WAS LIKE ALL DAY, YOU

WERE SITTING THERE, LIKE,

CHECKING YOUR PHONE, CHECKING

YOUR E-MAIL, CHECKING YOUR

PHONE, CHECKING YOUR E-MAIL,

WAITING.

>> I WAS ASSURED THAT EVERYTHING

WAS BEING HANDLED, SO WE WERE

SITTING IN LIMBO, WAITING.

>> JUST REALLY SCARY.

>> BARUTI WAS FAIRLY WELL-KNOWN

IN KHAYELITSHA.

HE HAD A SUBSTANTIAL CRIMINAL

RECORD -- ROBBERY, ASSAULT,

INTIMIDATION.

HE WAS A THUG.

EZRA MAY HAVE MET HIM AT

POLLSMOOR PRISON.

THEIR TIME THERE OVERLAPPED.

SIA WAS A YOUNG GUY, 19, FROM

DURBAN.

EVERYBODY CALLED HIM "BABYFACE."

HE HAD BEEN BUSTED ONCE ON A

MINOR POSSESSION CHARGE, AND

HE'D LEFT HIS FAMILY A YEAR

BEFORE.

>> YOU GET TO WONDER, HOW DOES A

YOUNG GUY LIKE THIS END UP WITH

THESE HARDENED CRIMINALS?

AFTER VIEWING THE VIDEO THAT --

OF THE FIRST PART OF THE CRIME,

HE WAS LIKE A KID WITH A NEW

TOY, PLAYING AROUND.

>> WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, HUH?

WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?

[ SCOFFS ]

YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING

ASSHOLES, MAN.

YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME.

THERE IS A BAD GUY.

SO?

WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU?

GOOD?

I ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH, EVEN

WHEN I'M LYING.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

[ DOOR CREAKING ]

>> KNOWING THAT YOU'RE SOMEWHERE

WHERE YOU CAN'T HELP SOMEONE

THAT YOU LOVE, KNOWING THAT

SOMEONE'S GONNA GET HURT AND

BEING HURT AND NOT...

YOU JUST CAN'T HELP THEM.

[ CRYING ]

>> [ GRUNTS ]

>> YOU FEEL SUPER HELPLESS.

>> [ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]

>> OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN'T DO MUCH

IN A TOWNSHIP WITHOUT HAVING IT

GET AROUND, AND PEOPLE STARTED

TO TALK ABOUT THIS THING.

AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE...

THEY KNOW HOW TO LISTEN.

THEY STARTED ASKING AROUND THE

TOWNSHIPS.

>> HE DIDN'T STRIKE ME AS A REAL

VIOLENT PERSON TOWARDS PEOPLE,

MAYBE A HARDENED CRIMINAL IN A

DIFFERENT WAY OF BREAKING INTO

HOUSES AND STEALING PEOPLE'S

MONEY AND THAT SORT OF STUFF.

BUT WITHOUT BLINDFOLDS, I THINK

THAT ESCALATED TO A DIFFERENT

SCALE OF HIS CRIMINAL CAREER.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT THAT.

>> MAYBE THEY HAD THIS BOND OF A

QUICK CRIME TO GET AWAY WITH IT,

BUT OF COURSE IT ESCALATED

COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR HANDS.

>> IT WAS HARD TO KNOW WHAT TO

DO DURING THAT WEEK.

I WANTED TO GO OVER.

I WAS ADVISED NOT TO GO OVER,

THAT THAT WOULDN'T HELP THE

SITUATION.

>> I THOUGHT THAT...MAYBE ME AND

CARA COULD COME UP WITH MONEY.

>> WELL, THE FIRST THING I

ADVISED THEM TO DO WAS NOT TO

SEND ANY MONEY.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE POLICY OF

THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH

CRIMINALS OR TERRORISTS.

SO THAT WAS THE FIRST THING.

>> SHE DID ENCOURAGE EMILEA TO

TRY TO E-MAIL THEM, TO TALK TO

THEM TO TRY TO, LIKE, GET MORE

DETAILS.

>> AND I E-MAILED THEM, AND I

E-MAILED THEM.

>> BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED.

>> THERE WAS NOTHING.

>> WHAT DO YOU WANT?

EZRA.

HEY, EZRA.

WHERE'S MIKE?

>> HEY, STOP ASKING ABOUT MIKE.

OTHERWISE, YOU'RE GONNA END UP

WHERE HE IS.

HERE'S SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR

ENERGY UP.

>> EZRA, PLEASE LET US OUT OF

HERE.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, DUDE?

COME ON. PLEASE LET US OUT.

WE'LL GET YOU WHATEVER YOU NEED,

MAN.

PLEASE.

EZRA, PLEASE.

EZRA.

EZRA!

FUCK YOU.

>> WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED

IS THAT AFTER THE MONEY FAILED

TO ARRIVE, BARUTI ATTEMPTED TO

MAKE A SECOND VIDEO IN WHICH HE

WAS TRYING TO RAISE THE STAKES.

>> [ SHOUTING IN AFRIKAANS ]

>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

>> [ WHIMPERS ]

>> HOWEVER, HIS METHODS WENT FAR

BEYOND ANYTHING THE OTHERS WERE

PREPARED TO DEAL WITH.

>> [ SHOUTING IN AFRIKAANS ]

I'M GONNA CHOP YOU UP!

>> AND THAT'S WHEN THE WHOLE

THING FELL APART.

>> [ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

>> [ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]

>> [ COUGHING ]

>> SO, YOU SEE?

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU

FUCK AROUND WITH ME.

SO, YOU BRING THAT MONEY, RIGHT?

[ SPEAKING AFRIKAANS ]

>> [ GASPS ]

>> LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN TO ME!

>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

>> SO, TELL YOUR

MOTHERFUCKERS...

>> PLEASE, PLEASE.

>> ...BRING MY FUCKING MONEY.

>> PLEASE JUST LET US GO,

PLEASE.

>> TELL THEM RIGHT NOW!

>> UH...EMILEA...

GO TO MY DRAWER.

GO TO MY DRAWER --

PATRICK WALSH.

THERE'S A PHONE NUMBER.

HE'S GOT A SCHWAB ACCOUNT.

JUST PLEASE.

>> TELL THEM.

>> I LOVE YOU.

[ CRYING ]

>> DID YOU HEAR THAT?

>> LET ME GO.

YOU GOT TO HELP HIM.

PLEASE LET US GO.

HE'S BLEEDING.

HE'S BLEEDING.

YOU GOT TO HELP HIM!

HE'S GONNA DIE!

PLEASE!

COME ON!

COME!

HELP!

HELP!

HELP!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

>> I'M SO SORRY.

>> YOU DID THIS?!

YOU DID THIS?!

>> I'M --

>> SON OF A BITCH!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING --

GODDAMN IT, MIKE!

[ SCREAMING ]

>> SCOTT!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

[ SCREAMS ]

[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]

NED, GO!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

PUT IT DOWN!

PUT THE FUCKING GUN DOWN!

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ SHOUTING CONTINUES ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ GRUNTING ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ COUGHING ]

STOP!

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

STOP!

[ GROANS ] STOP!

>> HEY!

>> [ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

P-PLEASE!

OHH!

PLEASE!

[ GROANS ]

>> JESUS, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR

FUCKING HAND, DUDE?

>> PLEASE CAN YOU TAKE ME TO A

HOSPITAL, PLEASE?

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

OHH!

>> JESUS, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!

LOOK AT YOU.

>> WE LEARNED THAT NED HAD

ESCAPED, AND THE BODIES OF SCOTT

AND BARUTI WERE FOUND IN THE

SECOND LOCATION THEY HAD MOVED

TO.

SCOTT HAD SUFFERED SEVERE TRAUMA

TO HIS HEAD, AND BY THE TIME THE

AUTHORITIES GOT THERE, THERE WAS

NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

I HAD TO CONVEY THAT INFORMATION

TO CARA AND EMILEA...WHICH WAS

A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO DO.

>> SO, UM, THEY CALL EMILEA IN,

YOU KNOW, AND [SIGHS] SHE WAS IN

THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE WHILE I

STAYED IN THE LOBBY, MAYBE 10

MINUTES.

THEY LET HER OUT.

AND SHE HAD A LOOK [SIGHS]

OBVIOUSLY, I WAS PANICKED, AND I

ASKED THEM, "WHAT'S GOING ON?

UH, WHY IS EMILEA CRYING?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?"

AND THEY BASICALLY SAID, "IT'S

OKAY.

EVERYTHING IS OKAY.

WE FOUND NED, AND HE'S FINE."

>> AND, UM...

AND SCOTT WAS NOT ALIVE.

AND MIKE JUST WASN'T THERE.

>> WHEN THAT...

PHONE CALL CAME THAT S-SAID THAT

HE HAD BEEN...

UM, FOUND AND THEN THAT HE

DIDN'T MAKE IT...

THIS IS -- IT'S JUST WHAT PEOPLE

SAY.

IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE IN A DREAM.

AND I THINK FOR DAYS I WOULD

WAKE UP THINKING I WAS, UM...

DREAMING THIS WHOLE THING.

>> AND I ARRIVED AT THE

HOSPITAL, AND NED WAS THERE, HIS

HAND IN THE BANDAGE AND REALLY

SHAKEN UP BECAUSE, UH, NOT

KNOWING WHAT -- WHAT HAS

HAPPENED TO HIS FRIEND SCOTT AND

MIKE.

>> I, UH, SPOKE WITH HIM

ABOUT...

WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE IN THAT

ROOM BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW

WHAT MY SON WENT THROUGH.

[ SNIFFLES ]

SO I FEEL FOR HIM -- NED.

>> NED CAME HOME, UH, MAYBE FOUR

DAYS LATER.

SCOTT CAME HOME AFTER.

JESUS.

IT'S WEIRD.

"WHEN DID THE GUYS COME HOME?"

THAT'S WEIRD.

ISN'T IT?

I MEAN, DID SCOTT COME HOME?

IS THAT FAIR TO SAY?

HE NEVER CAME HOME.

>> HEY, GUYS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

[ INDISTINCT ANNOUNCING ]

>> GOAL! TWO GOALS!

>> GOALS -- TWO GOALS.

>> GOAL!

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> GOAL!

>> GOAL!

[ CONVERSING IN AFRIKAANS ]

>> JUST SPEAK TO THE CAMERA.

>> ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE

KIDNAPPERS, BABYFACE, WHO WAS

LATER ARRESTED IN KHAYELITSHA,

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIMPLE

PLAN -- KIDNAP THE GUYS, GET THE

RANSOM.

MIKE WOULD PLAY THE VICTIM THE

ENTIRE TIME, AND NO ONE WOULD

GET HURT.

EVERYONE WOULD GET PAID WHO WAS

SUPPOSED TO GET PAID, AND THEN

SCOTT WOULD NEVER KNOW.

AND THEY'D JUST GO HOME.

OF COURSE...

IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

>> ...HAVE TO DO THAT FOR THE

RANSOM.

>> HE FUCKING HIT ME HARD, MAN.

THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED --

[ GRUNTS ]

>> I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT,

BRO?

>> THIS GUY'S FUCKING CRAZY,

MAN!

>> MY IMPRESSION OF EZRA FROM

READING THE CASE FILE IS THAT,

HERE'S THIS VERY CHARISMATIC,

CHARMING FRIEND OF MIKE'S,

SOMEONE THAT MIKE PROBABLY

LOOKED UP TO AND TRUSTED.

I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY REALLY DID

HAVE A GENUINE FRIENDSHIP, SO

WHEN EZRA MAKES THE SUGGESTION,

I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE FELT HE

WAS MAKING A GENUINE OFFER TO

HELP A FRIEND, BUT I DO BELIEVE

THAT HE ALSO SENSED AN

OPPORTUNITY FOR HIMSELF AND WAS

GONNA JUMP ON THAT, AS WELL.

IS THE -- THE SOLUTION THAT EZRA

PROPOSED SOMETHING THAT MIKE,

UH, WOULD HAVE GONE FOR HAD HE

BEEN IN HIS OWN CIRCUMSTANCES

AND IN A DIFFERENT STATE OF

MIND?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, BUT AT THE TIME,

IT SOUNDED LIKE THE EXACT RIGHT

DECISION TO MAKE, EVEN THOUGH IT

WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE.

>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT BARUTI,

MAN.

I CAN HANDLE HIM.

JUST CALM DOWN.

IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER DAY OR

TWO, HOPEFULLY, MAX.

>> OH, NO, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG

ALREADY.

>> FROM WHAT WE CAN GATHER,

BARUTI WAS PROBABLY FAR MORE

UNSTABLE THAN EZRA REALIZED.

>> I DON'T WANT ANYTHING

HAPPENING TO THOSE GUYS, MAN.

THIS DUDE'S FUCKING CRAZY!

>> DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM, MAN.

I TOLD YOU, I CAN TAKE CARE OF

HIM.

BUT I'M SERIOUS --

>> YOU KEEP -- YOU KEEP

CONSOLING ME, AND IT'S NOT DOING

ANYTHING, AND I HAVEN'T

FUCKING -- UH, YOU KNOW HOW

FUCKING DEEP I AM IN THIS?!

>> THIS GUY HASN'T BEEN FOUND.

I MEAN, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE

WITH THAT.

>> WE ARE LOOKING FOR THEM, AND

MY COLLEAGUES IN PRETORIA,

JOHANNESBURG, AND DURBAN HAVE

GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS

PARTICULAR CASE.

WE HAVE NO WORD ABOUT -- ABOUT

THEIR WHEREABOUTS, AND LIKE I

SAID EARLIER, THAT OUR BORDERS

ARE OPEN.

THEY COULD BE ANY -- IN ANY

WHICH COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT.

>> NO ONE WILL HEAR FROM HIM

AGAIN.

[ BEEP ]

>> SO, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM

RIGHT NOW.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST...

OPPORTUNITY I'VE GOTTEN...

TO BE BY MYSELF.

I FUCKED UP.

>> THERE IS NO EXCUSE.

THERE IS NO REASON MY SON SHOULD

BE DEAD, EXCEPT MIKE.

EVEN IF HE MADE IT DRUNK, HIGH,

WHATEVER, FUCKED-UP, WHEN HE

WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AFTER

MAKING SUCH A RIDICULOUS CHOICE,

WHY DIDN'T HE CHANGE HIS MIND?

BECAUSE IT WASN'T IN HIM TO

CHANGE HIS MIND.

>> I TRIED TO TURN AROUND WHEN

WE ENTERED KHAYELITSHA!

>> I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S ANOTHER

DAY OR TWO.

>> CAN YOU JUST --

>> CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

>> OKAY, OKAY.

CAN YOU PLEASE JUST GO CHECK ON

THE BOYS?

>> I'LL CHECK ON THEM.

>> I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING

ON WITH THE BOYS.

I TALKED TO EZRA, AND HE SAID...

THAT THEY WERE FINE.

HE ASSURED ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS...

SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FIXED.

I JUST HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS TO

THOSE GUYS.

>> HOW COULD HE DO THAT?

>> I REALLY THINK THAT HE WAS

SORRY.

BUT WHAT A FUCKING COWARD.

>> EMILEA...

AND CARA, I APOLOGIZE FOR

PUTTING YOU THROUGH THIS.

[ SNIFFLES ]

[ SIGHS ]

>> I DON'T CARE.

HE CAN BE SORRY ALL HE WANTS,

BUT I WON'T WATCH IT.

AND IF HE EVER SEES THIS, I HOPE

HE KNOWS THAT I WILL NEVER,

NEVER FORGIVE HIM.

>> HIS FRIENDS TOOK HIM THERE TO

HELP HIM RECOVER HIS LIFE

BECAUSE OF THINGS HE HAD DONE.

THAT'S HOW MUCH THEY CARED ABOUT

HIM.

>> I DON'T HOPE HE'S, LIKE,

DEAD.

I HOPE HE'S FINE, BUT I NEVER

EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER WANT TO

SEE HIM.

>> [ SNIFFLES ]

I'M SORRY THAT THIS HAPPENED TO

YOU, AND I'M SORRY THAT THIS

HAPPENED TO SCOTT.

[ SNIFFLES ]

BUT IF MIKE EVER COMES BACK, I

SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL HURT HIM.

[ SNIFFLES ]

>> I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S EVEN

GONNA SEE THIS.

[ SNIFFLES ] BUT I'M SORRY.

>> [ CRYING ]

I THINK I DO WANT TO STOP.

[ CRYING ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ GLASS CLINKING ]

>> HE'S BEING RIDICULOUS.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

TO NED AND SCOTT FOR BRINGING ME

ALONG ON THIS JOURNEY TO KIND

OF, UM, YOU KNOW, I GUESS

TAKE -- TRY TO TAKE BACK WHAT

WAS...TAKEN FROM ME.

I'M REALLY GLAD TO HAVE FRIENDS

AROUND ME TO, YOU KNOW, HELP ME

ENDURE WHATEVER I'VE GONE

THROUGH.

SO I APPRECIATE IT, AND...

>> HEAR, HEAR.

>> CIN CIN, SIR.

>> CIN CIN, TOGA, TOGA.

>> CHEERS.

>> IS THIS HELPING?

DOES THIS -- IS THIS GONNA HELP?

UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE SOMETHING

LIKE THIS, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT

IT MEANS TO FEEL REALLY, REALLY

ALONE.

>> YEAH.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF MY WIFE AND I

ARE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT OR NOT.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE

CHILDREN.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BURY YOU.

>> DO YOU STILL SPEAK TO EMILEA?

DO YOU THINK SHE WANTS TO TALK

TO US?

SHE HAD TO SEE HER, LIKE,

EX-LOVER FALL APART AND TAKE HER

LOVE WITH HIM.

I MEAN, YOU CAME HOME TO ME.

>> WE DID TALK ABOUT HAVING

KIDS.

SCOTT WOULD HAVE BEEN A...

GREAT DAD.

>> YEAH, SCOTT'S OUR -- OUR

ONLY, UH, CHILD, YEAH.

IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE JOY OF

BEING YOUNG AND NOT HAVING --

AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE, UH,

SAFE AND THAT YOU HAVE PARENTS

AND...

[ SNIFFLES ]

...FRIENDS.

[ SNIFFLING ]

SORRY.

THAT'S A MEMORY I -- YOU KNOW,

I'LL ALWAYS HAVE, THANK GOD.

THE MEMORIES AREN'T DEAD.

>> I WANT NED TO FIGURE THIS

OUT, TO COME TO TERMS WITH IT,

AND TO LEAVE IT BEHIND SO WE CAN

GET BACK TO BEING IN...

THE RELATIONSHIP WE WERE MEANT

TO HAVE.

I REALLY MISS YOU.

BABE, THAT'S ALL.
