- [Male] Hi, Oliver.

- I've been in Durban for the past couple of days

so this is the first that I've seen him.

It's (mumbling) as well.

Fuck, it's Robin!

- Keep calm.

- It's so obvious.

- Let me take care of it.

(dance music)

(knocking)

- Can I help you?

- Captain Mat Joubert.

Mr. Walmer.

- I already told your colleagues,

I didn't see nothing.

- Thanks for seeing me.

- I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

You ever seen this?

- It's all legal.

- Your friend, (mumbles).

- He wasn't a friend.

Is it true that he was shot in the left eye?

Now it was blown away completely?

- Any idea who might have killed him?

- Just open your eyes and look around you, man.

Fuckin' drug dealers everywhere.

Even in this place,

and this is a gated community.

They'll just let anybody in there.

You know, I don't feel safe in my own land anymore.

Six times, six times they broke in here.

- Did you report any of these break-ins to the police?

- Are you kidding me?

The only thing those bastards will understand

is my gun.

- Can I take a look at it?

- Yeah.

It's for self-defense, captain.

I'm not Freddy's killer.

- Where did you get it from?

- Freddy got it for me.

From someone he knew in the harbor.

- Where'd you get them from?

- Got those online.

Way before you guys got here.

Could I ...

- Do you have a license?

You need a license.

(exciting music)

(car horn honking)

(suspenseful music)

(men arguing) (suspenseful music)

- Fuck off!

Cunt.

(suspenseful music)

(light music)

- Where did Ferrara work?

- He used to work over there.

It's something that we call the fruit house.

- What was he like,

as an employee?

- Well, one doesn't want to speak ill of the dead,

but he wasn't my cup o'tea.

- Why?

- He couldn't handle a female boss,

and he was macho and lazy,

and he always had some sort of excuse

about his disability.

If you ask me, I think he faked his handicap.

- Shall we?

(machines running)

- That was his office, where he used to work,

and he was in charge of all exports to Germany,

the Netherlands, Denmark.

- Can I take a look at some of the fruit boxes?

- You'd have to get a judge's order for that.

It's company policy, but what has this got to do

with Freddy's death?

- We'll no more after we see the contents.

We'll be back with the necessary paperwork.

- Thank you.

It's not easy to get a judge's order quickly.

- There's no time to get in there undercover.

(gate moving)

- Oliver, calm down.

As of today, you are constantly under personal protection,

and nothing can happen to you.

- So what do I do?

- Nothing.

Do what you always do.

Work and take care of your beautiful family.

- I am bloody terrified, man.

- You just have to keep calm.

- [Oliver] What if I can't?

- Then you'll end up like Irena.

(suspenseful music)

- It's actually a pretty vivid language,

developed together with the conversations.

I suspect a basic code,

where the letters are replaced by numbers,

and supported by emoticons.

Just like the phone that we got off the dealer.

So the girls pick it up when they get here,

and they develop it further, as they use it.

- [Mat] So it's always growing?

- Correct, and the people engaged in these conversations

do not use their mobile phones to make phone calls.

The phones are switched on solely for the purpose

of sending and receiving text messages.

That way, they conserve their battery power

and their storage.

- [Snook] So you're online for seconds only.

- Yeah, well, not online,

just connected to the provider's net.

- What does the messages say?

- At this stage, we were only able to identify

common abbreviations, but you know

this kind of stuff takes time.

- We don't have time.

- I am aware of that, captain.

- [Captain] Good.

(suspenseful music) (kids yelling)

(suspenseful music)

(phone ringing)

- [Hanna] I think that's it for this session.

- Thank you.

- What for?

- I don't know.

I'm doing better.

Since meeting you.

- Since starting therapy.

- I'm not a monster.

- Who said you were?

- I feel like one sometimes.

(light music)

(door buzzing)

- Lara Joubert?

I have an appointment.

- They're that lazy.

Got no damn respect.

Discipline.

- Doesn't wanna talk to you.

- Here we go.

- Mat, it's Hanna Nortier again.

A few of us are going to the opera tonight,

and it turns out there's a spare ticket,

and I thought you might fancy a bit of culture.

- I don't know.

- It's full of murder and deceit and tragedy,

but in a fictional setting for a change.

But it might do you some good.

Anyway, there's no pressure, just think about it.

- Okay, okay.

Gotta go.

- Been waiting for you.

- This should be Lieutenant Snook's job, why me?

- 'Cause they wanna talk to you.

Article?

(mumbles)

- What was the article about?

- Captain Joubert,

do you have anything to say about the article

about you and your wife?

- Things you do to get a bit of attention, hey?

- Need to learn how to share.

- It's all yours.

- Okay.

- Afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

I'm Sanctus Snook.

The only issues we'll be addressing today

relate to the investigation of the moussa killings.

No other questions, thank you.

I will now ask the head of the moussa special task force,

Captain Joubert, to update you with the latest developments.

- We have three victims killed by moussa.

All were found wearing masks.

We believe there's a link between the victims.

The phone records haven't turned anything up so far,

and we're checking their financial histories.

- The police department aren't gonna follow up

any leads that suggest that spot fixing

and cricket has got anything to do with the case.

- The betting scandals and manipulation

of cricket matches has nothing to do

with the mask murders.

We can safely say

the death of the three persons

is the work of a single person.

- How far have you come in the search for the moussa?

It wasn't the same gun.

- Please, let the captain finish his statements.

We'll have a Q&A afterwards.

- It's okay.

The murder weapon is the same in all three cases.

We believe it may point to something political,

something from the past.

All registered owners of moussas are being questioned.

- Any arrests imminent?

- We will keep you informed of any new developments,

thank you.

(all talking at once)

- Let's start the Q&A.

You've got 10 minutes for the Colonel and myself.

Anybody got any questions?

(light music)

(phone rings)

- Yeah?

- Hey captain.

This is Clay Woods.

You rented from technical stuff from our shop awhile ago,

I was just looking through my records,

and it appears the equipment ...

- My foodie.

(suspenseful music)

- How's it?

Could I speak to the journalist

working on the Joubert story?

Yah, Moorfood, that's it.

Could you get him to call me back

at the number on your display?

I have something for him.

Thanks.

(orchestra music)

- You never go out, Mat.

Every weekend we're here.

I wanna go out.

To a bar.

- Lara, let me just finish the chapter.

- Maybe I should go without you.

- Great story Moorfood.

Got your finger on the pulse.

The response has been huge.

(suspenseful music)

(sirens blaring)

(light music)

- Well, this is unexpected.

- Where are the others?

- They changed their minds.

- Sorry.

- Come on, opera makes me thirsty.

They have a new bar in here.

- Did you have fun?

- Fun's probably not the word when the heroine

ends up killing her stuff.

- That's no story.

- [Hanna] Well, I think she was glad to go.

It's a very popular opera so,

I think she made the right choice.

- Sir.

Dinner is served.

(suspenseful music)

- We'll start you off on a bit of a (mumbles).

- Anything but death.

I've spent half the night working with the killings.

- You're never off the job, are you?

- Are you?

Do stop analyzing ever?

- Tell me about this Mask Killer.

Is that a political case?

- The moussa was the weapon for the Nazis and the Polish.

It has a history.

- Don't they have profilers for that kind of work?

- The Hawks do, but the case is still ours,

and we don't have the budget.

What's your opinion?

- Serial killers usually see their deed

as a final rebellion.

- [Mat] Final?

- They want to get a message across.

Like a farewell performance.

- And the rebellion?

Against what?

- I think it's usually against injustice.

- Hey.

(suspenseful music)

(knocking at door)

(suspenseful music)

(knocks on window)

- Ruth, what the hell are you doing here?

- I left him,

finally.

- Come inside.

- I'm in the middle of--

- Trying to tear down the house.

- I'm building a bookshelf.

Lara always said it wasn't organized.

- Mat.

I'm sorry I wasn't here for you more,

after Lara's death.

- A drink?

- Yeah.

- What's the story with you and Arnold?

- We had a fight, again.

It was wrong from the start.

- I never really got him.

He was distant.

I always a bit of a ...

- Prick?

- Yeah.

Why did you marry him?

Your other boyfriends were cooler, funnier.

- I needed to get away,

get away from home.

- A bit abrupt though.

One moment you were there.

You never ...

You didn't even say goodbye.

- We never ever really said anything in our family.

Everybody seemed to be carrying some sort of a cross.

Mom, you.

- Not him, not Dad.

Man, was I scared of him.

- You were both so different.

You had more of mom's reclusive Norwegian side.

Mat.

He wasn't all monster.

So?

Are you seeing anyone yet,

or is it too soon?

Yes, you are.

No, oh no, she doesn't know yet.

- It's nothing.

- What does she do?

- It's not likely to develop.

You wanna stay in the guest room?

- Yes.

What is this?

Haven't you got something with more of a kick in it?

(wind blowing)

(water splashing)

- You just did four laps without stopping.

I can see you're going places, my man.

- Liquor.

See you Monday.

- Have a good day.

Hello Hanna, it's Mat.

Not too bad.

I just wanted to say thank you for last night,

it was ...

Thank you.

(light music)

Fuckin' tools.

Thank you for fucking last night.

(sirens blaring)

(exciting music)

- Hi.

- Alexander MacDonald and it's not pretty.

- [Mat] Arnold Schwarzenegger.

- Everything looks a little bit different,

but there are some similarities.

Killer entered through the front door.

First shot him in the chest, thoracic artery.

And the second one --

- Right in the peer.

No coincidence, I'm thinking.

Very target oriented.

Artery, blood everywhere.

- Anything missing?

Money? Jewelry?

- [Cop] Nothing that points to a robbery.

- Who found him?

- [Woman] I did.

- When did you find him?

- This morning at half past seven.

I come by each day to clean up the mess.

Different girl every night.

- [Mat] Was anyone here last night?

- He had girls over here every night.

Never the same one.

He ordered them like pizza.

- I'm getting a tracking signal.

Whatever it is, it's close by.

- Thank you.

(suspenseful music)

- It's getting stronger.

(tracking device beeping)

Must be here.

- Check this out.

Looks like a small submarine.

- It's a torpedo.

Glass.

Located by sonar or radar.

Doesn't even show up on infrared.

Sandy.

- Does it cover long distances?

- 80 ks.

Usually put the amateurs out of scrap metal.

Pretty crafty, from a technical point of view.

It operates like small drones.

Float beneath the water surface.

It's quick as well.

I guess he forgot to turn off the signal.

Stupid fool.

- I'll go get the photographer.

- Right.

- Ship can lay outside of 12 miles out.

Shoot this torpedo towards the mainland,

then he's on his way.

- Possible.

- What kind of ship?

- Big cruiser.

Probably the odd container ship.

They'll use anything available.

- They?

- Imperatoria.

We were working together, investigating drug trafficking.

Lara was a undercover stewardess for

a Scandinavian airline.

- I know that.

- We're pretty sure that Cape Town,

Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo

were being used as major drug smuggling routes.

Was a little man.

- What happened?

- Every time we raided suspected warehouses,

we found nothing.

We can concluded that some very important policy makers

from Cape Town were responsible for doing the paperwork.

Customs forms, transport documents and such.

- And then Lara and Peterson got shot.

- Yeah.

Investigation terminated.

Unit closed.

- Dead in the water.

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah.

I got MacDonald.

They found the torpedo.

- Fuck.

McaDonald, I can't believe it.

- The police have found the drugs in the harbor.

They're going to find traces which will

lead them to MacDonald.

We have to cover our tracks fast.

- Captain, Lieutenant, thanks for coming so soon.

The Mayor just called.

She wants me and the provincial commissioner

to submit a report to the international press.

They're running with the moussa story as well.

What do you have?

- Freddy Ferrara was involved in drug trafficking.

It seems like the latest victim, Alexander MacDonald,

may also have been involved with drugs.

Unlikely to be a coincidence.

- So we finally have a connection between the victims.

All pointing towards a mafia war.

What do you think?

- Shooting somebody in the crown jewels

doesn't look like the mob to me.

- Crown jewels?

- His johnson, sir, his sexual organ.

- Thank you for the explanation, Captain,

I know what a peel is.

- Despite the connection to drug trafficking,

the modus operandi suggests an emotionally motivated murder.

Mike, the weapon?

- I think it's a woman.

- Okay.

- The weapon is a woman's weapon.

You, for instance, your hand wouldn't even fit

into the trigger guard.

It's got a short grip, it's a tiny thing.

Not made for the male ego.

87% of gun murders are committed by men

with large caliber weapons.

Like a moussa?

- Exactly, exactly.

Shooting incidents by a woman are rare.

Generally in self-defense.

- This latest victim, Alexander MacDonald.

- Irena Davis, also known as Angel,

accused him of rape.

Eventually, she withdrew the charges.

- Maybe somebody put pressure on her?

- To get revenge, she shot him in the peer.

- We've tried tracing all the licensed moussa's

on the peninsula,

but nothing so far.

I think we must look at the moussa's dealers as well.

I mean online.

- I've already done that, sir.

Here's a list.

- Good work.

- Good morning.

Wernicke, what's so important that it can't wait?

I'm due in court.

- It won't take long.

(girl screaming)

- Shut it.

What do you want?

- You're going to present a proposal.

I took the liberty of preparing something for you.

- My station.

There's Manza everywhere.

- If you could just catch your eye over it.

- No way, no way.

We're not giving up our rights.

- But Manza has come to you with built on the estate.

The building permit has already been signed.

- By Wallace?

Before or after his murder?

- So what do you say?

- How do I even propose this to my clients?

They know that the plans are focused,

and they know this company is worth millions.

- If the investors back out now,

(mumbling).

- They'll feel betrayed.

First by the apartheid government,

now by corporate capitalists.

- You say that as if it were egregious.

- This is our country.

- Have you ever thought about entering politics?

Mayor Moremi.

Has a nice ring about it, don't you think?

- Why should I become mayor of Cape Town?

- The Free Alliance is in desperate need

of a candidate who can secure the back road.

- I'm a lawyer, not a politician.

- The mayor has a lot of influence.

She will make sure that her successor with succeed.

You live in a free country, enjoy it.

(suspenseful music)

- Yes.

Unfortunately, I do know him.

You pressed charges against him some time ago, Miss Davis.

- Call me Angel, sugar.

- All right, Angel.

Why did you press charges?

- He raped me, that's why.

- MacDonald was murdered yesterday.

- Good.

That's what I call karma.

- You have a gun?

- I do now.

For self-defense, sugar.

I admit.

I have my mood swings from time to time.

But murder?

It's not in my skill set.

- Why did you withdraw the charges?

- Tasso suggested it would be best.

- That's all he suggest?

- Look here.

I really need this job, don't fuck it up for me.

He paid me a bonus.

Said I should see it as compensation.

- Can I see your gun?

- Sure.

- I'll need to examine this.

Where were you yesterday between eight and midnight?

- I really don't want to get him into any kind of trouble.

He's my oldest and most loyal client.

- Who?

- Willie Hunt, policeman.

Works at the Observatory.

Once a month, he likes to treat himself to some

brown bread.

- Is everything all right here?

Is there anything I can do for you, captain?

- It's lieutenant.

- Oh.

- By the way,

your girls,

are they mainly from Europe?

- Why?

Any particular nationality you're looking for?

- Ukrainian would be nice.

- Sorry man.

I'm out of stock at the moment.

(exciting music)

(camera clicking)

(camera clicking)

- What do you think you're doing,

I'm a journalist!

- If I read anything about tonight,

I'll come knocking at your door,

I'll rip off your ear,

got that?

(car running)

(gun fires)

(suspenseful music)

Don't move!

Stay where you are!

- What?

What the fuck are you doing here?

- Don't move.

- And if I do?

You're gonna shoot me?

You would like that, huh? (Snook yelling)

You just don't get it, do you?

- Where's the body?

Where's the body?

- Huh?

- Where is it?

- Clay, Clay, come on, show yourself.

- Clay!

It's okay.

It's okay.

Lieutenant Snook, mister good cop on our team.

- You're engine?

- He threatened me.

- Piece of shit.

- What's going on, huh?

- The shop's on Rosine's list.

I was in the area.

Decided to drop in and check it out.

- (stutters) Don't touch that!

- Hey!

- This young, bright man

runs an online weapons shop.

Some gun owners were eager to get rid of their moussas,

and he, he offered to buy them.

- Names of sellers?

- He's so stupid, he forgot to ask about names.

- You rent as well?

- Yep.

- I want your list, of all your customers,

sent to me by tomorrow midday.

My email address.

No need to wait.

- I can stay here --

- Hey!

- I can take that gun!

- I'm takin' it.

I've done you enough favors for today.

- Oh yeah, why?

What?

- You didn't even check that your favorite journalist

was taking pictures of you as you were coming in here.

- Moorfood?

- Yeah.

You call yourself a cop.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey Carl.

Can we go with it?

- I'm putting it on page two, as well.

Death on duty.

Readers love a serial story.

Anyone might think you didn't like Joubert.

- Just keen on a good story, boss.

What you reckon?

- So do you think he killed his wife?

- What do you think?

- I wouldn't put it past him.

(suspenseful music)
