(horns honking)

- [Policeman] Come on.

Fuck.

Stay with the car.

(whimpering)

- Help.

(tense theme music)

(whimpering)

(thudding)

- Excuse me.

The girl, is she okay?

- I can only give out information to relatives.

- It was my car she ran into.

- You're gonna have to speak to the police about that.

- Is she going to be alright?

- As I said, I'm sorry, I can't give out information

except to relatives.

(mumbling on P.A.)

(tense beat music)

You're not family.

- Captain Joubert, SAPS.

I'm investigating the murder of--

- If you're here to find out when she's gonna

be ready to be interviewed, don't.

It's a miracle she's alive.

I'm not sure she'll remain so.

- Raped?

- I would say so, yes.

More than once.

- Physically restrained, handcuffed.

Drugs?

- Traces of benzodiazepine in her blood.

- Benzo?

- Rudotel and Radedorm.

It's effective anesthetic.

Renders her manipulable.

- I posted two men outside.

Nothing to the press or anyone else about her.

- You think someone's gonna come and finish her off?

- I'd put money on it.

Nobody enters her room.

(tense music)

- What about the girl?

Is she dead?

- No, and the hospital's crawling with policemen.

I'm working on it.

- How could she have escaped?

- They were sure she was dead.

- How many more stupid mistakes are you going to make?

(buzzing)

One moment, please.

You know what destroyed the Roman Empire, Robin?

It wasn't gluttony, wars.

It was decadence.

Or to put it more bluntly, man's inability

to keep his cock in his trousers.

Don't fuck with my empire, Robin.

And you will now leave by the back door.

Joubert is waiting outside.

- Mat?

- Another mistake you should have dealt with already.

I'll take care of it now.

- Impressive little machinery.

- Dates back to World War II, I think.

- Enigma is Greek.

You can translate it as a puzzle.

(footsteps thudding)

How do you do?

Norbert Wernicke.

(heels clacking)

Pleasure to meet you, Captain Mat Joubert.

Of course, you're famous around these parts.

My condolences regarding your late wife.

- I'm not here to talk about my wife, Mr. Wernicke.

- Of course not.

Okay.

This way, please.

(footsteps thudding)

- From Germany?

- My accent.

I started English too late in life.

- [Mat] Your Russian better?

(speaking foreign language)

- Grow up (mumbling) you ought to have advantages.

What can I do for you?

- It's about one of your employees.

Carina Oberholzer.

- Oh.

But you are homicide, aren't you?

I understood that Carina committed suicide.

- That is, indeed, the most likely theory.

What was Ms. Oberholzer's area of responsibility?

- Key account manager.

Took care of the important clients.

- Such as James Wallace, Drew Wilson, Ferdy Ferreira,

Alexander MacDonald and Oliver Nienaber.

- Them are the victims, none of them

were clients of Wernicke Consulting

as far as I know and I would know.

- Of course, yeah.

- Captain, I have an important meeting shortly.

So, unless you have any more valid questions...

Captain was just leaving.

(footsteps thudding)

(tense music)

(mumbling)

- [Man In Hat] I hope you're coming to repair my door.

- Scratch my back, I'll foot the bill for your door.

- Okay, Polaroid.

Taken some time ago, so what?

- I wanna know where it was taken, who these people are.

- It's a simple snap probably taken by a woman,

two couples going out.

The guy turning away doesn't want to be seen,

suggests he's out with a lover.

Doesn't want any photographic evidence

getting back to his wife.

(chuckling)

Yah, can I keep it?

Gonna need to scan it.

- Tomorrow, then.

(tense music)

- Codes are the same.

Certainly belong to the same group.

Although they've developed a mutant version

based on the initial (mumbling).

It's almost impossible for outsiders to decipher.

- Okay.

- There were hardly any calls made from this phone,

but she didn't switch off the mailbox, so,

this message here was recorded four days ago.

Hasn't been listened to yet.

- [Woman On Message] Oh, sorry.

Sorry, can you help?

- [Man On Message] Yeah, sure, sure.

Not a good idea to be wandering around this area.

- Can we trace the location of this call?

(woman screaming on message)

- Without permission?

- Yeah.

- Not a chance.

(mumbling) providers give out that information freely.

- Hey.

- Okay, I'll try.

- If that girl in hospital doesn't pull through,

we're up dead end again.

We've got nothing, except this phone.

(tense music)

- It's German beer.

Duchess Pilsner.

There we go, brewed in Dresden, East Germany.

Company was bought soon after the war came down.

Fucking marketing, crimey.

- What about the people?

- Let's see what we've got.

This is Renate Wurzinger.

She's involved in German politics for some time.

Specialized in aid, development,

plenty of African countries mentioned.

Huh, seems her career took a nosedive

when they found out she

worked - Stasi.

- for the Stasi.

Fucking communists, man.

- And now?

- Disappeared.

- [Sanctus] What about the others?

- Him, Nikosi, Johannes.

An A and C man, died in Angola.

As for the other, with a hidden face

trying not to be photographed, forget about it.

Not with this program.

(clacking)

Okay, here's something.

I don't read German, but this article is about drugs

used as weapons, the Stasi used--

- What kind of drugs?

- Hypnotics.

Radedorm and Rudotel.

(tense music)

- When Dad was shot, I was at police college.

Some cops thought he'd been set up,

and walked into a trap.

- It's just a rumor.

- Maybe.

Some of them think he was looking for a fight

with some of his colleagues.

- You know how he was.

- I don't.

You were his angel.

I could never do anything right.

- I was a fallen angel.

- Shortly before you left, Mom stopped talking.

Was that connected?

And why have you seen Dr. Nortier?

- You know Hanna?

- Why were you in therapy?

- It was Lara's idea.

She wanted me to confront the past and recommended her.

- Lara?

Why?

- I was raped.

(weeping)

- Dad?

- No, no, no.

- Who?

- Oh, Mat, I can't tell you.

- Dad knew who it was.

- Yeah, he tried to kill him.

He almost strangled him for me to (mumbling).

Unfortunately.

- And that's why she stopped talking.

It was love.

She didn't want to face your dad.

Hey.

Who was it?

- Mat, I can't, I can't tell you.

I don't want to lose you, as well.

(melancholy music)

- Mat.

You look like a day's work.

- Okay.

- How are things with the Colonel?

- He has his targets.

- Word has it you have a new partner.

- Not for long.

- What are you still doing in the force, Mat?

This place is getting more and more violent.

I'd hate to see you take a bullet, man.

- You told me to become a cop.

- Yeah.

Now I'm telling you it's time to quit.

What's with the mafia murders?

You're earning up rations.

- Ah, it's speculation.

The boss is...

(speaking foreign language)

It's a mauser.

- What?

The old German pistol?

Hmm, Nazis.

- The bora were big fans of German craftsmanship,

and so were the bomeys.

(chuckling)

- Well, how 'bout you come out for a good meal soon?

- It's kind of you, but uh...

- It's been a while since you've been to the old homestead.

You could come out, enjoy nature.

- Thanks.

Maybe some other time.

- Don't bury yourself in the past, Mat.

Find yourself a new woman.

Maybe you've already got one.

- Hi, I'll be back shortly.

Will you wait in my office?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

- [Hanna] Patient has become stable over the course

of our sessions.

She does not feel guilty for what happened to her.

She still suffers the loss of her father,

who confronted the perpetrator, a family friend.

The strangulation attempted by the father

would suggest that the rapist still bears

marks of the attack on his neck to this day.

(tense music)

- Why didn't you tell me you were treating Lara?

- Patient confidentiality.

(speaking foreign language)

I used to follow her, always,

whenever she met this Peterson.

- Also on that night.

(tense music)

- [Policeman] You want coffee?

(door slamming)

- That took you ages, man.

Hey, what are you doing?

(thudding) (grunting)

(beeping)

(tense music)

(beeping)

- Somebody fed the drip.

- Wait outside.

She's in VF.

Get a defibrillator.

- [Nurse] Torch to 150 joules.

- [Doctor] Let's go.

(thudding)

(knocking)

- Moyfert tells a good story.

Almost believe his shit myself.

- [Sanctus] What's this?

- It's evidence.

For the prosecutor, get some actual bad.

(doorbell ringing)

- Mr. Coolidge, sir.

I wasn't expecting you.

- We arranged to clear a couple of things up

over a glass of wine.

- [Christmas] He's in the study.

- Hey.

Norbert.

(static)

- Forget it.

The environmental noises are too loud.

So you spied on her?

- I was looking after her.

- She was investigated because

it took her months to establish contact.

She knew she was about to uncover the truth.

- I thought that if I could use the bugs

to get Peterson convicted, then she could stop

and we could--

- You didn't have a judge's order.

The evidence would have been thrown out of court.

You were actually putting her in even greater danger.

- I know.

- Well, the crime scene was searched.

We would have found the bugs.

- Someone went into the house, took the bugs

and sent them to me in a delivery bag.

- Did anybody know that you bugged the house?

- Yeah, the guard.

(speaking foreign language)

I gave him 2,000 'rand to let me.

- [Sanctus] Maybe it was him.

- I don't know.

He disappeared.

(tapping)

(classical music)

- Oh, Christmas.

Nothing like a beautiful tart to relax you.

Let's leave him alone for a while

unless it's something important.

(classical music)

(mellow guitar music)

- Guys, thanks.

When do you need it back?

- ASAP, okay?

I can't understand a thing 'cause of background noise.

- Oh man, if it was recorded with a single mic,

won't be easy to isolate the--

- [Sanctus] If anybody can do it, Mano, you can.

But I need it quickly.

Mano, I'll call you.

(gunshots blasting) (tense music)

(whirring)

- [Mike] If anyone knows him, Mat, then you do, you know?

Wasn't he a close family friend?

- Yeah, guess so.

- [Mike] What do you wanna know, Mat?

Just ask.

- Do you know why he left the force?

- Ah, I was assigned to him when I was a rookie.

Really messed me about, you know?

Treat me like shit.

I hated the bugger.

- No different at home.

- Yeah.

But there was something wrong about the way he died.

- I heard rumors, rumors of a trap.

That he was set up.

- We got an emergency call to a villa, suspected robbery.

When we got there, we thought the burglars had gone home.

Suddenly, we were sprayed with bullets.

Caused a whip and notch in the back of my head, yeah.

9 mil.

Your dad wasn't so lucky.

He caught it big time.

Bled to death.

Never stood a chance.

- And Robin?

- He arranged the funeral.

- Oh, I remember.

- Yah, he was generous.

But towards the end, they didn't get on so well.

Your dad painted a bad picture of him.

- Why?

- No idea, really.

I think that there was probably a woman involved.

Neither of them could keep

their flies buttoned up, you know?

Anyway, Mat.

I gotta go.

- See ya.

- Yeah, see ya later, bye.

(tense music)

- [Woman On Recording] You.

You.

- [Man On Recording] Please, don't.

(gunshots booming)

(clacking)

- Yeah, Sanct, it's Mano.

I've got something for you.

Call me back as soon as possible.

(tense music)

- Taste it.

So, you'd have moved the bugs from the beach house

before you called the police, huh?

And a week later, you sent everything to Joubert.

How did you know his address?

- Sorry.

Thanks for the burger, man.

If I'd known that I couldn't help you,

answer your questions, then I wouldn't have accepted.

- No, no, no, eat.

You must eat.

I have to know if he was there that night.

The woman who was shot was my partner.

- She cheated on her husband.

- No, she was a undercover agent.

The other guy was a drug dealer from Denmark.

- Odd job for a married woman.

- I need to know who shot her.

- Sorry, my memory is not what it used to be.

(thudding)

(mumbling)

Okay, okay.

- [Sanctus] Tell me who killed her.

- Was a warm night.

It was too warm for a turtleneck pullover.

(tense music)

(splashing)

- [Sanctus] Hey.

Mat.

(mumbling)

(splashing)

- He's good, eh?

- He's a puss.

(whistle blaring)

- [Sam] Very good job.

- [Sanctus] See ya Sam.

- Cheers.

(tense music)

- [Mat] Good job, huh?

Ooh.

- [Sanctus] I found him.

- Found who?

- The watchman.

The man who sent you the microphones.

Do you know anyone who wears a turtleneck pullover?

- [Hanna] The rapist still bears marks of the attack

on his neck to this day.

(tense music)

(gunshot blasting)

- [Robin] Don't!

(thudding)

- You bastard!

You killed Lara.

- You're wrong.

- Lying piece of shit.

(thudding)

- [Robin] Take him inside.

(grunting)

- You and you.

In here.

(tense music)

(yelling)

- Hey, bro.

What are you doing here?

- Nothing to do with you, it's cool.

- He's not in.

- Where's the van?

- The one we use for (mumbling)?

- Yah, with rainbow graffiti.

- Yeah bro, okay.

I don't have time for this.

- Ooh, burns.

(speaking foreign language)

- It's okay.

- They spotted the van at the garbage dump.

- So what?

You're gonna arrest me for illegal dumping?

- She was still alive when they dumped her.

I found American shirt.

We're testing for DNA.

I hope it's not yours or you're truly fucked.

Why didn't you call an ambulance?

- There was nothing I could have done for her.

- But you know who dumped her.

- You stay, stay out of this, you know?

These people--

- They're fucking up our country.

And you're aiding and abetting.

What they're doing is wrong,

so either I go in there and get what I want,

or I arrest you, got it?

- Stop.

I will shoot you.

- Where's he keeping his documents, huh?

- I don't give a fuck if you're my brother!

Hey!

Hey!

Son of a bitch!

- Don't talk ill about our mother.

- [Owen] Fuck!

(tense music)

(mumbling)

- [Sanctus] Here we go.

- Making this quite difficult for me, Mat.

Recognize this?

It's the weapon you shot your wife with.

- No.

- She was playing you, Mat.

- Why?

Why did you kill Lara?

- She was into Peterson, like a tick,

and that stupid prick just gorged on her.

Stopped thinking properly.

Lara was so close to uncovering everything I built up.

And now you too, Mat.

You know I always liked you.

You were different.

Always came up with something out of left field.

I'm talking too much.

Goodbye, Mat.

(clicking)

(gunshot blasting) (grunting)

(thudding)

- [Man] It's okay, it's okay.

- Hanna.

(gunshot blasting)

- All the participants of the course went to Van Rees' farm

for the final session.

We did one last role play using the masks.

(ominous music) (chattering)

I'll see you all in the morning.

Thank you.

Thought I'd read a bit.

And then I heard voices.

(mumbling) was there with James Wallace.

(tense music)

(mumbling)

- Why?

Let her watch.

Let them all watch.

- Oh no, no, no, no.

(cheering) (whooping)

(mumbling) for me, man.

(mumbling) (tense music)

(laughing)

- [Man In Mask] You stupid fucking junkie.

Go away.

(mumbling)

(laughing)

(tense music)

(moaning)

(screaming)

- Do you want to help Hanna?

(mumbling)

(screaming)

- [Hanna] That was...

Coolidge found me the next day.

He wanted me to report Van Rees to the police.

I just wanted to run away from it all.

And then my daughter was born, HIV positive.

She kept me alive,

but when she died,

I died with her.

- And my role was?

- Without you, I never would have been able

to get close to him.

(tense music)

- Come on.

Come on.

(tense music)

(gunfire popping)

(gunshots blasting) (gunfire popping)

(buzzing)

(muffled yelling)

- You okay?

Come on, come on.

Get up.

(mumbling)

Medic!

Medic!

(mumbling)

(chattering on police radio)

(melancholy music)

(beeping)

(seagulls cawing)

Betsie thought call was made by zulu, anonymous.

Yeah.

- [Mat] He had a visitor.

- Yeah, it was Coolidge.

(mumbling) David Block.

Used to work for the A and C during apartheid.

Had to flee the country to avoid prison.

He was welcomed by East Germany.

He was forced right into becoming a skillful agitator.

- [Mat] Which is where he met Wernicke.

- Right.

There was a lot of experimentation with drugs at that time,

how they could be used on people.

Truth drugs, hypnotics, as well as psychedelic drugs.

The downside for David was he actually developed

a taste for it.

He became an addict.

- An idealist with a habit.

- The Berlin Wall came down.

Wernicke was able to equip Block with a new passport,

and through his political connections here,

arranged for them both to settle in Cape Town.

Gotta give the car back.
