[helicopter blades whirring]

[intriguing music playing]

The cash heist that took place just now, no witnesses. Police are still scrambling…

[woman] Breaking news from downtown Johannesburg.

We cross live to our reporter on the ground, Busi Thwala.

This cash heist took place moments ago with no witnesses.

Two guards were tied but unharmed, and are now making their statements.

[woman] This is the fourth cash-in-transit heist in five weeks, each more brazen.

The mastermind believed to be behind the wave of cash-in-transit heists

is Alex Shabane, once a freedom fighter in the ANC's paramilitary wing,

and later a local councillor in the new democracy.

The police have named Shabane as their most wanted criminal.

[in Zulu] Hey.

[in English] Oh, hey.

[in Zulu] Mom is in the store. She asked for you to visit for some tea.

[man] Hey, hey, hey, why are you two hanging around here?

Hey, Mama, what's in there?

Why are you carrying so much food? Is it for the comrades, Mama?

-Open up, Mama. Hey! -It's food for the kids.

You can't do that. Leave my mother alone! You are a traitor to your own people!

Alex didn't even flinch one bit.

He said, "Leave my mom alone, or I'll kick you until you shit yourself."

-[all laughing] -No, I didn't say it like that.

You see…

[in English] These damn cops, we must all stand up to them.

[in Zulu] Yes, indeed.

[in English] Just like my Alex.

[people clamouring excitedly]

[Alex in Zulu] Come!

Come and get some free bread!

There's enough!

[people cheering]

[Alex] Call everyone to come and take bread!

[sirens wailing]

[in English] I have to go.

[in Zulu] He said the police know who I am.

But… But…

Will you wait for me?

I promise.

[ominous music playing]

["Umdlwembe" by Zola playing]

Do you know what makes a thug party a thug party?

[in English] Money!

[all cheering]

-[woman laughs] -[fires gun]

[traditional drum beat playing]

Boss?

[in Zulu] This fucking reporter calls me a common criminal.

[in English] You know she's Mogorosi's daughter?

Yeah. That doesn't give her the right, Moskow.

You know this new generation.

They know nothing. They remember nothing.

Alex! Baby.

[in Sotho] Gosh, it's a party, and you're just sitting here.

[in Zulu] Are there drinks?

-Food? A banger? -[in Sotho] Yes, there are--

[in English] Then it's a fucking party, mamacita.

[in Sotho] This piece of trash treats me like shit!

In fact, he treats me like shit, right? I'm just a piece of shit!

[in English] I'm leaving the office now,

but I promise you'll have the story by tomorrow morning.

Look, I know it's pretty--

I'll call you back.

[Alex] Madam Mogorosi!

[chuckles]

Alex Shabane.

"Shabane wants people to think that he is a hero,

a township Robin Hood."

"But he and his men are no heroes."

"They are murderers and thieves

who have left behind a trail of blood and tears."

[chuckles]

[in Zulu] I tip my hat off to you. You know how to write.

But what you've written is not the truth.

[in English] So you deny that you've killed people?

That innocent people have died because of you?

I write it like I see it.

[in Zulu] Why don't we go for a drive? I'll show you around the township.

Because you've chosen to write your own truth.

Why don't you want me to show you my own truth?

Leave your car, we'll take mine.

You know, Kefilwe, men like us…

[in English] …we sacrificed everything for this country.

[in Zulu] We left our homes.

We left the people we love.

And went to fight.

[in English] We bled, so you could be born free.

Yes, I heard you stole a bread truck…

[in Zulu] …when you were young.

[in English and Zulu] Then you ran before Afrikaners could catch you?

[in English] Before they could kill me.

So what, was that to save me too?

Is that why you ran? Or was it to save yourself?

[chuckles]

[in English and Zulu] You know I didn't choose this guerilla life.

[in English] It chose me.

[in Zulu] When Mandela left prison, we thought everything would change,

that people would get their freedom back.

[in English and Zulu] But what happened?

[in Zulu] When we came back, we didn't get anything.

[in English] You can't steal whatever you--

I steal from the rich.

[in Zulu] Now I must apologize for taking what's mine?

[in English] Hmm? Must I also apologize for sharing with my people

what they were promised?

-[man 1 whistles] -[man 2] Alex Shabane!

[cheering]

Alex Shabane!

[in Zulu] Those who were promised lies.

[Alex chuckling]

[gentle music playing]

You see…

This is the world we had to change.

[in English] The same dirt, same hunger.

That's Father Baloyi.

[in Zulu] Without him, these people would starve.

[in English] Someone must keep the promises.

Nice PR stunt.

You can still write me as a common criminal.

It's fine.

Why aren't you writing about the broken promises?

Do you see what they are writing? Huh?

We are a joke to them.

A joke!

-So, Rainman is in trouble again. -[Viljoen] Well, let's face it…

[in Afrikaans] …he's not the same, since that time.

-[in English] Think you could do better? -Don't you?

Ntsane can do better. And that's saying a lot.

-[exclaims] -[in Afrikaans] Joubert, piss off, man!

[all chuckle]

[Captain in English] I'm getting calls from the minister's office every day!

I told him that you're not the right person for this job.

Now go out there and prove me wrong.

[Pearl in Sotho] Alex, where were you last night?

[in English] I was driving.

Well, okay.

[in Sotho] Tell me something...

[in English] You go to her?

-[in Zulu] Come again? -You heard me.

[in Sotho] Did you go to her? Mm?

[in English] Did you fuck her?

-[in Sotho] That's why you left me-- -[in Zulu] Listen, Pearl, listen.

I'm not your child, understand? And I don't answer to you.

-[in English] And you do not own me. -[in Sotho] Last night…

[in English] …you left me on that dance floor for hours.

-I was driving! -You were driving?

[in Sotho] Where to, Alex?

-[in English] Driving? -Is there a fucking echo?

[in Sotho] Don't get smart with me.

I'm talking to you! I'm not your fool, okay?

[in Zulu] Look here, you are not my wife, okay?

Are you done?

Hmm?

What? Are the things I buy you not enough?

The money I give you, is it not enough?

Tell me how much you want for you to stop annoying me.

[scoffs]

I'm annoying you?

[in English] Tell me something.

How much do you pay your sweet little angel teacher, hmm?

Let me make you understand something. I am not for sale.

[in Zulu] Really?

-[in English] Yes. Mm. -You're not for sale? Okay.

[Alex chuckles]

-[Alex sighs] -[drawer closes]

[in Zulu] How's this? Mm?

[in English] Is it enough? Mm?

-Fuck you. -Mm?

Fuck you, Alex.

-Pick it up. -Go to hell.

[in Zulu] Pick it up.

[in English] I am not for sale.

You see? You are wrong.

Everyone is for sale.

[in Zulu] Something you have to understand…

[in English] You do not own me.

[in Zulu] And I owe you nothing. Understood?

[kisses]

[in English] Pick it up.

["Ntozabantu" by Lebo Mathosa plays]

[song continues]

[screaming in Zulu] You drive me crazy!

-[Pearl in Sotho] I need your senior. -Why?

Quickly, sir.

What is it about?

[woman shouting indistinctly]

I have information about Alex.

[officer] Alex who?

Alex Shabane.

Just wait here. I'll be back.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fading]

[Sekoati in English] Hello. How are you, sir? Uh, Sakkie.

I mean, Sakkie.

[Sakkie grunts]

Before I came here, I did my Masters in Criminal Investigations.

I don't just do laundry.

At UNISA, we profiled Shabane.

You ever worked Violent Crimes?

No, but I did do Financial Crime for six months.

It's the hard evidence that will convict him.

You know, this…

this is the job, not kicking down doors,

and guessing what kind of a man he maybe is.

Okay, sir, but what if you don't find the evidence in time?

What if the captain kicks you out of the job?

Sakkie.

Sakkie, I see how many hours you work.

I know how tough the job actually is,

and of all people, I know just how good you are.

You've just joined.

Actually, it's been five weeks.

As I say, just joined.

Four heists in the last five weeks.

Sakkie, I want to help, but how can I if you won't let me?

Do you know they call you "Rainman?"

Rainman?

The movie?

Never saw it.

[Sekoati smacks lips]

What's in your profile?

Shabane was trained to be invisible,

to hide in plain sight.

But the man who once gave away free bread, that man likes to show off,

to be admired.

I made a list of all the places where he's attracted crowds.

What if we put undercover cops in all those places?

With what resources? It's never going to happen.

I mean, we could try--

Or I could go through all the title deeds of all the buildings bought with cash

since the heists started.

Track down every family member of every buyer.

Can I help?

[sighs]

[clears throat]

You're not like the others, huh?

You're not lazy.

You think different to me. You could be useful.

[gentle music playing]

You don't remember me, do you?

Thato Sekoati.

My father worked at Brixton Murder and Robbery.

[both laughing]

[mother in Sotho] I have a strong feeling this is very dangerous.

Are you really sure you trust Maseko?

Should your boss find out that you're in contact with the comrades...

[father] I don't care what he thinks.

Please be careful.

You're a good man, and I care about you.

Listen, those people call themselves the "Death Squad."

Some of them are black policemen.

They call themselves the "Askari."

I won't just sit there and do nothing. I'm a policeman.

I'm all about protecting the people, and not killing them.

Please, just drop everything.

[father] Our kids will starve to death. What will they eat?

[mother] Please take care of yourself.

[door opens]

[father in English] I knew it.

[in Sotho] You're not asleep,

-you're just acting. -[giggles]

[in English] Bye.

[ominous music playing]

[man] Officer…

-[in Tswana] Hi. -I need directions to the highway.

[in Sotho] Sure. You are a long ways lost, friend.

So what you want to do is...

You go straight, right? Straight, then turn right.

Turn right, then on your right, you turn left, then it's on your--

-[gunshot] -[woman screams]

[in Zulu] Dad! Dad! Dad!

[wailing]

[Captain] Oosthuizen.

[in English] Sorry, sir, uh, I was working that robbery in Berea.

This is your case now, your only case.

[Sakkie] Sir?

Sergeant Sekoati, Brixton Murder and Robbery.

-Police? -Good police.

-I want who did this found. -Uh, shouldn't Van Niekerk be--

Van Niekerk has already got a dozen open cases.

You said you're ready, so don't let us down.

Yes, sir.

[pensive music playing]

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Uh, so, uh…

[exhales]

[Sakkie breathes deeply]

It would help to know what you saw.

I-- I didn't see anything.

I was sleeping when it happened.

[sobbing softly]

I also didn't see anything.

Nothing at all?

[Sekoati] No.

No, I-- I was at…

I was sleeping.

[Sakkie] You were that girl.

Yes.

[intriguing music playing]

[gunshot]

[clangs]

[music fades]

[chuckles softly]

[gate creaks]

[chuckles softly]

With this we can match a gun.

When I find him, this will send him to jail.

But to find him, I need to know more.

I…

I was awake when my father was leaving.

[intriguing music playing]

[hesitantly] I didn't see the man, but I saw the car.

[Sakkie] What-- What kind?

It was orange.

He had a police cap in the back of the car.

Even then you told me that it was all about the evidence.

Yes.

Not every case gets solved, and most don't, even if--

Still… you found the man that killed my father.

You solved that one…

and you'll solve this one, I know it.

[in Zulu] You cover your face with that thing.

Go for it, boy.

Hit it!

[Moskow in English] Comrades! Listen up.

"Meanwhile, our government continues to avoid answering questions

about their ongoing failures to keep their promises

-and deliver on real transformation." -[laughs]

-[in Zulu] Who is that now? -[chuckles]

Who is Kefilwe Mogorosi?

[in English] Let me see.

Isn't that the same journalist who called us murderers and thieves?

Yes. Do you have, uh, something to do with it?

Mm?

[in Zulu] How's it going with the IDs?

[in English] It's fine.

But, uh, we're pushing our luck too far. We can't keep doing it forever.

-No? -No.

[chuckles]

I do what the Hammer taught us.

When the enemy is down…

[in Zulu] …you need to hit the nail on the head.

[in English] I was there for those lectures.

-Oh, so you know? -Yeah.

[in Zulu] Something you need to know is that…

[in English] …our enemy is in every uniform in this country,

just like it was always.

[Zoli] The Askari works at police headquarters,

in John Vorster Square.

[in Zulu] We know his ways,

where he walks,

and who he's with.

I took these photos of him.

For now, he's working the night shift.

-How much certainty do you have that-- -We're certain!

[Maseko in English] Zoli here is our man on the inside.

He's working as a cleaner at John Vorster.

[in Zulu] Sekoati was supposed to meet up with me,

carrying the whole death squad file.

Detailed information.

Each name has a date and time.

Now we tell the entire world

about these villains who are in charge of us.

[Zungu] But Sekoati is gone now, with all the information…

[in English] …shot in front of his house.

[in Zulu] Those dogs killed him.

[in English] Askari bastard.

[in Zulu] Now did you say we should take this dog out?

[Zungu] You just came back from the bush.

[in English] This one is experienced.

We'll take care of it, sir.

[Zungu] Alex…

don't let me down.

I will not, sir.

[Zungu] Send a message.

[in English and Zulu] I want the Afrikaners to hear it loud and clear.

[in Zulu] Got it?

-[in English] Yes, sir. -Dismissed.

[Alex in Zulu] Just like what I'm doing here.

I'm doing something Zungu taught me.

[in English] Sending the enemy a message loud and clear.

[sighs] He's got the message, and there's nothing more to prove.

-We all need some time to spend our money. -[laughing] Yeah.

Live a little.

Shabane…

You need to give some attention to Pearl before she becomes a problem.

All right, fine.

Nelspruit is already set up.

We do the hit tomorrow,

then we can take a break.

Copy that, Captain.

[Vincent in Zulu] Come, let's get to work, let's go.

[in English] Right.

-[clock ticking] -[tense music playing]

[door lock buzzes]

[Pearl] They're planning another heist out of town.

They're going to Nelspruit.

[breathes deeply]

[in Zulu] Hey, hurry up, boy, the game is almost over.

Hey, you're taking your time here.

[Moskow in English] Bastard looks comfortable.

[Vincent in Zulu] He thinks he's untouchable.

[Alex in English] Yeah.

[in Zulu] But it's over for him, comrades.

We need to check the routes.

[in English] And the back doors.

[in Zulu] We don't want mistakes.

Remember, we don't do anything before dawn.

[in English] Early morning, just like he did to Sekoati.

There's someone I need to see.

Sure, boss.

But people know you, man, and people talk.

[in Zulu] Uh-uh. He's not like other people.

Then again, this is my first chance to see him since we got back.

[in English] Remember, no mistakes.

-[in Zulu] Sit there. -You're taking me for granted.

[continue talking indistinctly]

[gentle music playing]

[gate creaks]

[Lesedi laughs]

[in Tswana] You're back!

[laughing]

[Alex chuckles]

You're back.

[in English] I didn't know if you were…

[in Zulu] Whether I'd come back or come back for you.

[laughs]

[in English] Yes.

[Alex softly] Yeah.

[in Sotho] I'm sorry about your mother.

[in English] Yeah, thanks.

-[in Zulu] And your mother? How is she? -[in English] Working.

[exhales] She'll be home soon.

[in Zulu] Don't worry, I won't be staying for long.

When did you get back?

Just a few days ago.

So tell me, are you working now?

[in English] Sort of.

[in Tswana] It's small kids, crèche.

[in English] One day, I'll have my own school.

[in Zulu] Don't worry about that, because one day…

[in English] …you'll have everything that you want.

Promise you.

[chuckles]

[Alex chuckles]

So, how…

How long will you stay?

[Alex inhales deeply]

[in Zulu] Just for a few days.

At least until after the job is done.

[in Sotho] Work?

[in Afrikaans] Yes.

[in Zulu] My love… I went away to learn how to fight.

That's what I know now.

[in Tswana] You need to be careful.

-[chuckles] -Since you’ve been gone, things got worse.

[in English] Boys throw stones and Afrikaners call them terrorists.

They should.

They should call me a terrorist. I'm here to bring them terror.

And you know what?

They should call me a teacher.

Just like you.

[in Zulu] Because I'm here to teach them to fear.

[ominous music playing]

That is what we wanted.

[in English] Alex…

Be careful.

[gentle music playing]

[ominous sting]

He's late.

[in Zulu] He'll show up.

-[Vincent] What if he doesn't? -[Alex] He'll show up.

-[Vincent] But if he doesn't? -Vincent!

[vehicle approaching]

[ominous music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasps]

[Vincent] Shoot! Shoot her!

-[in English] She's a witness! -[gun clatters]

[Alex in Zulu] Go, go, go!

[music fades]

Where have you been?

I want to apologize for last night.

-[in Sotho] What about this morning? -[in Zulu] Yeah, that too.

Open it, they're yours.

[in Sotho] Alex, do you love me?

[in Zulu] Do you know how expensive these are?

-[in Sotho] Is this love? -[in Zulu] For such a price?

[chuckles softly]

[chuckles]

[glass clinks on table]

Okay, listen then. Tomorrow I'm leaving to go to Nelspruit.

When I get back, I'd like you and me to go to Sun City.

[mysterious music playing]

[Captain in English] Another dead policeman, Van Niekerk.

Another one of ours.

They shot him in his own bloody driveway.

They probably did the recon from over there by the spaza shop.

At least two, more likely, three of them.

And this?

I called him.

I thought maybe the same men did both.

[Sakkie grunts softly]

[in Afrikaans] Come, Sakkie, I hope you're not scared of blood.

The captain thinks we're dealing with the same assassin.

What do you think, Sakkie?

I still have a casing from the other murder scene.

We can have it compared.

Do it.

[in English] Come, sir, let's go find out if that girlfriend can remember anything…

[in Afrikaans] …to help us catch these bastard cop killers.

[dramatic music playing]

-[music fades] -[Jaco imitating aeroplane]

[Chantal chuckles]

Eat your food, okay?

[Sakkie exhales]

What's the matter?

Hi.

Sergeant Sekoati…

He was at Brixton Station.

The man who was shot today

was also a policeman, but from John Vorster square.

-And? -The cop has an orange car

just like the girl saw.

What are the odds? Then I had his gun tested.

It's cops killing other cops, Chantal.

Okay, what do you mean?

The guy from John Vorster Square must have been ordered to shoot Sekoati.

But on whose order, and why…

And who shot the guy from John Vorster Square?

Sakkie…

It's politics.

You shouldn't get involved.

It's dangerous.

Yes, I know.

I'll give the report to Van Niekerk. He can deal with it.

[kissing]

[breathes deeply]

[Chantal] Hey, have you eaten your food yet?

[Jaco] I already did.

[Chantal chuckles]

-[Jaco] I did! -[Chantal] You're lying.

[officers speaking indistinctly]

[Joubert in Afrikaans] Hang on, I'm coming.

-Van Niekerk. -Sleep well, guys.

So, who else did you show this to?

Only to you.

[in English] Well done, Sakkie.

[in Afrikaans] You've solved your first murder.

Who would have thought?

Nobody here believed you'd crack it, but I knew you had something in you.

Now let me tell you who you're going to arrest

for the murder of poor Sergeant Sekoati.

Excuse me?

[exhales]

The guy who pulled that trigger

wants to destroy everything our forefathers built up in this country.

The man who pulled that trigger did it under orders.

He did it to protect our families, our flag.

Police killing police…

You must listen to me carefully, Sakkie, this is not someone who steals change.

Someone has to stop the communists.

[ominous music playing]

And someone has to clean up the mess afterwards.

So…

Bring this along. We have to go arrest a criminal.

Your first.

And remember what I taught you.

[in English] The detective solves the crime.

The evidence makes the case in court.

[in Afrikaans] Come, Sakkie.

-[music fades] -[breathes deeply]

[intriguing music playing]

[line ringing]

[in English] Hello, Officer.

Yes. Today.

They're leaving for Nelspruit today.

["Nkalakatha" by Mandoza plays]

Got it. Send me the address.

-I got Shabane. -What? How?

[Sakkie] We've got Alex Shabane!

Hey, let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

-Let's go finish this. -Let's go.

-Oosthuizen? -Call the minister, sir.

We've got Shabane.

-[woman] Captain? -Yes?

-[in Xhosa] The Nelspruit commander said-- -Tell him I'll call back.

[Vincent in Zulu] Oh yeah, what's up, gents?

[chuckles]

[song ends]

[in English] Where were you last night?

[Vincent sighs]

I forget her name.

Wendy… I think.

You made the sanusi wait. We were supposed to camp.

[in Zulu] So? I got my own guys with medicine.

One of those guys from Mozambique.

They're strong, it's just that they're expensive.

-[in English] We were supposed to-- -[Alex] Gents!

[in Zulu] Is everything set up?

[in English] Sure, Captain, all good.

[Alex claps and laughs]

Let's go get paid, guerillas!

-[man whistles] -[in Zulu] You'll get a beating.

[suspenseful music playing]

[truck engine revving]

[music fades]

[Joubert in English] Nothing.

Damn it!

-[in Afrikaans] What the fuck? -[Sakkie] Uh…

["The Way It Is" by Lucky Dube plays]

[in Zulu] Geez, listen to this song.

I love this song. This is a hit song for the road. Volume!

Yeah! These are the ones for when it's happening!

[both laughing]

Hey, this kid is naughty, listen to what he's saying.

Yeah, Moskow, you love the music! You can't not love it, boy!

[Vincent laughs]

[phone ringing]

[in English] Hello?

What?

Shabane has gone to Nelspruit.

-[in Afrikaans] What the fuck? -[Khumalo] Huh?

[Sekoati sighs]

[in English] It was a tip-off from the girlfriend,

to Soweto East Station.

[Sekoati] Captain wants to know where we are.

But we… found them.

I found the title deed. He bought it a few weeks ago.

I found his warehouse.

No, Sakkie, you found a fucking empty warehouse.

[Moskow] Hey, you guys have to slow down, eh?

[in Zulu] Hey, old man, keep up.

[laughs]

This boy is naughty. Look at what he's doing.

[Vincent in English] Leave him, he'll never catch up.

[truck engine revving]

[tires screeching]

[tires squeal]

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

[tires squeal]

[dramatic music playing]

-[tires squeal] -[gunfire]

[officer] Step out!

[tense music rising]

Don't move!

You're under arrest.

[music fades]

[dramatic music playing]

[Sekoati] I never thanked you for catching the man that shot my father.

[suspenseful music playing]

[in Zulu] I have to leave. Will you wait for me?

-[knocking] -[in Tswana] Who is it?

[Moskow] Someone has to get Alex out.

[man in Zulu] They'll feed off you. Everybody's got their place.

[in English] And the food is not bad either.

If you know who to speak to.

[screaming]
