[Matilda in English] Gentlemen,
we have a visitor.

Detective, you remember my sons?

Detective?

Sure.

[Detective] Do you know of anyone
that might want your husband dead?

[Matilda] Well Detective, my husband

is like any other businessman.

For every Rand that he makes, there's

someone out there who
feels that they should be making it.

So you're not aware
of anyone specifically?

The list is very long.

For one thing,
he is the Chief of the Nkosi Clan.

And that means that
there are uncles and brothers

and half-brothers who

feel that they should be the Chief.

And uh, he's the CEO

of the largest coal mining
company in South Africa.

Detective, my father's
company got shortlisted as one of the

bidders to supply coal to Eskom.

It's very possible that other companies

on that shortlist, wanted
to maximize their chances of

becoming winners by killing my father.

May I please use your bathroom?

-Yes, of course.
-[Detective] Oh, don't worry,

I know where it is.

Down the hallway to the left,

next to the trophy cabinet.

[Matilda] Huh?

[footsteps receding]

[Sandile in Zulu] How does he
know where the toilet is?

[Khumbulani] Hmm.

[in English] I'm sure
Oupa showed him to it.

[in Xhosa] When would he have shown him?

[Khumbulani in Zulu] That's not important,
Ma.

[in English] What's important
is what Muzi's wife said.

[Sandile in Zulu] No, no, no.

So you agree with him

there's someone here at home
who's always wanted to kill dad?

[in English] There's business, and then
there's personal business.

No, man. Who? Who?

Mangaliso.

Ma, he wouldn't dare.

[scoffs] Wouldn't he?

You do remember that

he was upset that you got
awarded the smelter project?

And he had a huge fight with your dad.

Then got suspended and now

[in Xhosa] we can't find
him anywhere. Or maybe--

[approaching footsteps]

[Detective in English] I'm so sorry
for keeping you waiting.

[in Xhosa] Hey, Detective,

how do you know where
the toilets are in my house?

[Detective in English] I've
been here before.

We were responding to
a homicide here 20 years ago.

The victim was
the first wife of Chief Nkosi.

[Khumbulani] Woah, woah! You mean suicide?

[Detective] Let's focus on your case.

So I would need a list

of those who you feel
may bear a grudge with you.

Does that include family?

Especially family members.

[Matilda] Well,

[in Xhosa] we can start
with the king's son,

[in English] Mangaliso.

[tense music playing]

You're still here?

Oh, I'm not leaving. [snickers]

[Muzi] I don't have the time,

or the energy for this.

-Hmm.
-[Muzi] You think I'm stupid?

You were making moves
on Sandile when you thought he was

the king-in-waiting.

And now that the tables are turned,
you're groveling back to my feet.

You know, I never
thought you had it in you.

What are you talking about?

[Donald] I want to see
that smug smile wiped off

-Nkosi's face
-Give me that!

when a bullet -rips his guts open.

Look,

it's not what you think.

[Dimakatso] Oh.[exhales]

Well, just a recording of you
and that Donald guy plotting to kill him.

What else is there to think?

It's your phone after all.

But, I did take a few recordings

and stored them somewhere just in case.

[chuckles]

So if I do something against you,

the police will suddenly
have the recording.

Ah-hah. You took
the words right out of my mouth.

[in Slang] Sharp.

[footsteps receding]

[tense music swells]

[tense music ends]

[Khumbulani in English] Detective?

-Yes?
-Umm

I just wanted to find out

about the suicide that
happened 20 years ago.

Why do you need me to tell you
about a case that occurred in your home?

[scoffs] It's not like I was around.

I haven't lived long enough
for me to know everything that happened

within my family.
And nobody ever talks about it.

Such things are not easy to talk about.

Yeah.

Are you sure it wasn't a suicide?

If the person that committed the homicide

is still inside this house

Doesn't it feel strange

that the only suspect is the son's victim?

[grunts]

[upbeat music plays]

[door closses]

[music stops abruptly]

[exhales] Dude, you gave me a fright.

How did you get in here?

Sorry, I didn't mean to. Well,

your door was opened.

You look like you haven't slept.

Yeah.

Umm, let me make you a coffee.

Thanks.

[tense music plays]

[knock on door]

[Sandile] You

wanted to see me?

[exhales]

What have you got to say for yourself?

-About?
-Don't you play me for a fool.

I know you're sleeping with my wife.

Uncle Muzi,

I swear to you, your wife came onto me.

The only reason

I have not dealt with you severely

is out of respect
for my friend, your father.

If I break you, I'll break him.

And I cannot do that to a man that I've

gotten so much from.

[Sandile] I appreciate that.

Doesn't mean I cannot
punish you in other ways.

-What do you mean?
-I am reversing your smelter project win.

No, you can't do that.

Yes, I can!

As acting CEO,

with the approval of the board, I can.

I've asked that
a board meeting be convened,

where I intend to convince
the board to reverse the decision.

So you're gonna give it to Mangaliso?

-He's wanted by the cops.
-Wanted by the cops is different

from being wanted for questioning.

And if you believe

what your mother said to you,

that Mangaliso tried to kill your father.

Then you truly
do not deserve being project manager.

[Fezeka] So, I'm sure
you've heard the news by now.

Who hasn't? [sighs]
It's all over the news.

Have you seen him?

He's in a coma, but,

mom says he'll pull through.

Let's sit.

Yeah well

I'm sure he will.

That man is tough, I'll give him that.

So the cops wanna question you?

[scoffs] Of course.

Have you and the others
been questioned yet?

Well mom has, and my brothers.

Well, I'm pretty sure
they didn't waste time pointing

the accusing fingers at me.

You should speak to Muzi.

And what good will that do me?

Well, firstly he's a lawyer,

and secondly I think he's a good guy.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

Well, you can't be in hiding any longer,

otherwise they'll think you
actually have something to hide.

Something-- What are you saying?

Nobody believed me when
I told them Sandile stole my proposal.

Now why the hell would anyone believe that

I had nothing to do with
trying to kill my own father?

Well if it's the truth, then they will.

If?

-Well it is, Fezeka.
-[sighs]

I don't know,
if it means me going with you to Muzi

to help sort things out, then I will.

But we have to.

Thanks.

[knock on door]

-Hey, Mangaliso.
-[tuts]

[sighs loudly] Are you okay?

Ah, I'm well.

It's just pops that I'm worried about.

[Matilda] As if you care.

[in Xhosa] You

[in English] What is this I hear
about you convening a board meeting?

You've been acting CEO
for hardly a minute,

and you're already
throwing your weight around.

[Sandile in Zulu] You know,

he wants to give the project to him.

-[Matilda in English] I beg your pardon?
-[Muzi sighs]

What happened to continuity?

Sandile has behaved
in ways that are unbecoming

of a project manager.

[Matilda] Why?
Because he slept with your wife?

How dare you?!

And now you're punishing him
because of your shortcomings.

I can assure you that
that has nothing to do with this.

Oh please, who are you trying to kid?

[Sandile ] And what
makes him better than me,

or more deserving?

[Muzi] And what makes
you think I'm giving it to him?

[Matilda] Well, who are you giving it to?

Aluta.

-Wow.
-I'm giving it to Aluta.

Wow, indeed.

That's a good call.

[Matilda] Don't you have
an interrogation to attend?

[scoffs] You know I knew
you were just pretending.

-I thought we are friends.
-[Matilda] So did I.

Until you stole the project
from my son and tried to kill my husband.

[scoffs] Believe whatever
you want, Matilda.

Uncle, I'm gonna need a lawyer.

[Matilda chuckles]

-The evidence stacked up against me
-[phone ringing]

will not give me a chance
to win without a lawyer.

[Muzi] I'll be with you
in a minute, excuse me.

Hello?

[ominous music playing]

What?

When did this happen?

[ominous music intensifies]

[indistinct chatter]

[Matilda in Xhosa] What is it?

[in English] Zeb is dead.

What?

[tense music playing]

[tense music continues playing]

-[in English] Hi.
-[in Xhosa] I brought you tea.

[in Xhosa] You shouldn't have, my child.

You didn't eat the whole day.

[in English] You should
at least have something.

Even if it's tea.

Yeah?

[in Xhosa] [chuckles] Thank you.

-Made it just the way you like it.
-[in English] Yeah. [chuckles]

[sighs]

[birds chirping in background]

[in Xhosa] I don't want to have
to sit on that mattress, you know?

I should be preparing
for your father's funeral.

I understand that,
but you have to go there,

[in English] just to show respect.

[in Xhosa] Don't worry,

everything will be okay.

[in English] I promise.

[sniffles]

[scoffs]

[in Xhosa] What is she doing here?

[angrily] What are you doing here?

What do you want?

Huh?

You're here to ridicule me.
You came to gloat.

-You're happy.
-[Aurora sighs]

[in English] Matilda,

[in Zulu] what do you think of me?
I'm also grieving.

He's my brother-in-law.

My husband's brother.

-[in English] Half! Half brother.
-It matters not, someone has died.

I've also lost someone, sis.

[Matilda in Xhosa] I see what
you're doing, Aurora.

Your husband is happy now.

He thinks he's the one who will
be in charge at Magenta Coal.

Or he'll be king.

[in English] You've got
another thing coming!

[in Slang] My goodness.

[in Zulu] You know
Do you know the way I came running here?

Thinking of you Matilda,
knowing that you are devastated,

because I know that if
my man had passed on,

I would be going crazy now.

No, I was wrong, shame.
You know, I was wrong.

You are sitting here
thinking about properties,

-thinking about chieftaincy,
-No, no, no!

-thinking about Inheritance.
-No, no, no.

-Inheritance! Inheritance, woman...
-Leave her alone, Ma.

-you're thinking about inheriting wealth.
-[in Xhosa] Just let her be.

-All you're thinking about is inheritance!
-[yells] Leave!

-[Aurora] Inheritance. Wow!
-[Fezeka] No, no.

[Aurora] Wow! This girl
is thinking about inheritance.

Hey you, let go off me!

-[Fezeka in English] Where's the security?
-[Aurora] Security my foot!

[somber music plays]

[vehicle revving]

[Dimakatso in English]
[sighs] I still don't get it.

Do I really need to be here?

Do you hear yourself speak sometimes?

The least you can do is to go in there
and show that we're sympathetic, okay?

Now you go in there,

spend some time with
the women on the mattress.

For God's sake, look at you!

Cover yourself.

[tense music plays]

[groans] Sandile! Are you insane?

Am I insane?

[in Zulu] Listen here,

I need your help. Are you listening?

[in English] Your husband
is taking me off the smelter project,

so I need you to help me.

Sandile, why are you involving me in this?

-[yells] Cause it's your fucking fault!
-My fault?

My fault?

[in Zulu] Look, I don't care
who did what and when.

[in English] Muzi is
already pissed as it is.

So count me out.

-Count you out? Count you out?
-Yes.

[in Zulu] So this
is what you're doing now, huh?

-You're leaving me all high and dry?
-[scoffs]

You're done with me
because your man is in charge now.

You're dumping me.
You're going back to him?

[in English] Huh?

You're actually such a child.

[Sandile exclaims]

[dramatic music plays]

Mr. Nkosi,

we understand that you had
altercations with your father,

and later on he was shot.

[Mangaliso] You have children, right?

Yes. So?

So, if you and one
of your children had an altercation

or disagreement of some sort.

Would that be reason enough
for them to kill you?

[Detective] Maybe not.

But my children
don't stand to get millions if I die.

[in Zulu] What? What are you looking at?

[in English] So, you're saying if you were
worth millions, they would?

Am I the one being questioned here?

At least have the decency
to do it afterwards!

-I am mourning for heaven's sake!
-It doesn't work like that.

A man has been killed and we need answers.

My father had many enemies.

-Huh.
-I know, and this

is our way of shortening
the list of suspects.

Did did somebody put you up to this?

-Did Matilda put you up to this?
-[Muzi] We're done here.

Listen Mboya,

you've asked your questions
and you've gotten your answers.

Mrs. Nkosi wants you
to find her husband's killers,

not harass her children.

-Please, you can leave now.
-Not so fast.

I also have questions for you, Advocate.

[tense music playing]

[door knock]

I asked to be left alone.

-[somber music plays]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

[Ethel] Hey, Khumbulani, umm, you

need to come downstairs,
you've been here all morning.

[exhales]

I'm so sorry.

[sniffs] So how's Ma?

[in Slang] My goodness.

[clears throat]

[in English] She's trying.

But

you need to go and be with her.
You need to see her,

she needs you.

I know, but,

what good would I
be to her in this state myself?

[sniffles] Hey, uh

I've been meaning to ask you.

I found my place a bit messed up.

Were you looking for something?

No. It was not me, it was Oupa.

[sniffles] Oupa?

Yeah.

I found him looking for something,

then when I asked him,
he gave me some excuse.

[somber music swells]

I'm really sorry.

[breathes heavily]

[Detective] How would you describe
your relationship with Mr. Nkosi?

Zeb was my best friend.
[tense music plays]

And where were you
on the night of his shooting?

I was at home.

With my wife.

We spoke to his PA,

she says there was tension
between you both recently.

We had some business disagreement.

What sort of business?

It was more personal than business.

[Detective] You care to elaborate?

No.

[tense music playing]

[in Zulu] Why did you
not sit on the mattress?

Me?

Sit on the mattress with that thing?

Yeah, you have to do so,
it's part of our culture.

Sit on the mattress
so you can welcome those

who come in to pass their condolences.

[exhales sharply]

Baby, you know Zebedee has
passed on, so I'm in charge now.

So if you don't sit on
the mattress, you will compromise us.

Sit on the mattress to gain status.

That way, I'll have status too.

-Come on. Yes, go.
-[softly] Okay.

Just sit there, it's not
a big deal. It will pass.

-Let's go. Yeah.
-Okay.

-[in English] Yeah?
-Let's talk

[in Zulu] What? What's wrong?

[exhales sharply]

[in English] Firstly, you know
you have my full support.

[in Zulu] You are the elder in the family,

[in English] and you should be
the chief of the clan.

And you should be
the head of Magenta Coal.

[in Zulu] Oh, it makes me happy

to know that I have your full support.

That's true.

But then again,

it seems that Muzi also wants the chair.

He's a drunk! He'll never get it.

His plan is to get the board to meet

and convince them
to make him CEO full-time.

Why do I get a feeling that you are
making this up, because they took you out

-of the smelter project?
-No.

His wife told me.

Oh, are you close to his wife?

[tuts]

[in English] I just wanna be put back
as the head of the smelter project.

And I want Aluta to be
my second-in-command.

[in Zulu] You know you have my vote,

[in English] you have my support for CEO.

[in Zulu] You are to make sure that
the board members are on your side.

All the board members are on their way now

to bid their final farewells to my father.

[indistinct chatter]

[in English] Yeah?

[dramatic music playing]

I told you I didn't want to come here.

[whispering] Shut it.

You came here for one
purpose and one purpose only,

to show your respect.

Oh. Sandile wants me
to beg you to reinstate him.

Oh, that's never gonna happen.

So what are you gonna do with him?

His father is dead,
and I'm gonna deal with him

in any way that I want to.

[exhales heavily] You do realise
that if you touch him,

-Matilda will also come for you.
-Let her come.

In fact, let them all come.

I'm tired of playing nice.

You'll go up there

and spend some time with
the women on the mattress,

and be respectful.

Okay?

[whispers] Okay?

[sighs]

[exhales sharply]

[dramatic music fades]

[tense music playing]

A word, please.

I understand that you
and your brother didn't see eye to eye.

It's not a secret.

So you have a lot to gain by his removal?

I didn't kill him.

Oh, that wasn't my question.

But that's the answer
you were looking for.

[sighs]

-What about your wife?
-What about my wife?

I'm told that she appears more aggrieved
than you who was passed over as chief.

Are you saying my wife
has something to do with the

killing of my brother?

Tell me.

[sighs]

Are you okay?

[in Zulu] I don't know.

[in English] I'm sorry about all of this.

It's not your fault.

[in Zulu] I let them use me.

Me too.

I let my mother use me.

[in English] So who's
going to take over now?

[grunts]

[in Zulu] It's going to be between
your father and Muzi.

[in English] But I'm rooting for your dad.

Umm

[in Zulu] Are you not angry that

Uncle Muzi replaced you with me?

I am angry.

I am really angry.

But I'm angry at him not you.

Let's just hope that
he will not become CEO.

[in English] He is a good man, though.

Are you in favour of Muzi?

Sandile,

the truth is

Uncle Muzi is better qualified.

[scoffs]

[in Zulu] He knows how to run a business.

And under him,
everyone will enjoy the benefits,

[in English] not a few privileged.

You wanna give the company to an outsider?

How?

[in Zulu] Is that what's important to you

rather than the survival of the company?

Sandile, I really love my dad,

but I know he can't even run a tuck shop.

[tense music playing]

Please leave.

[exclaims]

I'm sorry

if I'm annoying you.

[in English] I'm sorry if I upset you.

[tense music continues playing]

[footsteps feeding out]

[indistinct chatters]

[birds chirping]

[pensive music playing]

[inhales] Thank you.

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[Matilda sighs deeply]

[sniffles]

[music stops abruptly]

I am so sorry.

-[sniffles]
-[Muzi] How are you coping?

[sighs] It's not easy.

[Matilda sniffles]

I know.

I'm sure he would've wanted it like this.

I mean, for us all to be strong.

[chuckles, sniffles]

You're right.

So um

the police,

they also wanna question you.

Can't they see that I'm mourning?

[Muzi] I'm sure they can, but,

it doesn't stop them
from wanting to do their job.

I should have known.

I should have known
you would waste no time

in humiliating me.

No Matilda, this has

nothing to do with me
wanting to humiliate you.

They questioned me as well.

Then why are you taking
the smelter from my son?

[sighs]

This is neither the place

-nor the time.
-This is as good a time as any!

Matilda, out of respect for my friend--

[Matilda] You have no idea
the meaning of the word.

[Mangaliso yells] My father is dead!

I'll check that.

[scoffs]

[dramatic music playing]

My father

is dead.

[panting]

Dead!

[panting]

[softly] My father is dead.

Why did she kill my father?
First it was my mother.

You wanna know who's next?

Me.

[panting] Me.

[yells] Matilda!

Matilda!

-Matilda!
-Hey! Mangaliso, come, come,

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Why do you hate me so much?[panting]

What did what did I ever do to you?

[indistinct chatters]

-Who killed him?
-Let's go.

[softly] Let's go. Come on.

What did I ever do to you, Matilda?

Hey, Mangaliso.

[muffled sobbing]

[crying] I never
got to visit him.[panting]

[Mangaliso cries]

[somber music playing]

[Muzi] Easy.

[Matilda sighs]

[pensive music playing]

Hey, you.

Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Ma, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Thank you, baby.

[in Xhosa] Don't worry about me, my baby.

[in English] Mangaliso is just another
mess your father left for me to clean up.

I'll sort it out.

[Matilda in Xhosa] What is it, my child?

Sandile, what's eating you up?

[in Zulu] It's Muzi, Ma.

[in English] Muzi cannot become CEO.

No, he can't.

-That's your position.
-Mm-hmm.

[in Zulu] He wants to force
the board members to make him CEO.

[scoffs]

This position is even
better off with Sibonile.

[in Xhosa] No, now you don't
know what you're talking about.

[in English] No, you don't
know what you're talking about.

Ma, what are we going to do?

Let me think about it.

Listen, that position is your birthright.

Nobody, but nobody

will take that from you.

[in Xhosa] Understand?

[in Zulu] Yes.

[in English] Alright.

[pensive music ends]

[intriguing music playing]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Ethel.

-Why are you rushing off?
-No, this shouldn't have happened.

If your mother can find out,
she's going to kill me.

Yes,

but if you keep it a secret

no one will have to know
and you can keep your job.

Okay? Come on. What's wrong with you?

[exclaims]

Hey.

Ethel!

[tense music playing]

Mangaliso,

I didn't like what you did out there.

You went too far.

I understand your pain

and your anger.

But still,

you have to handle yourself like a man.

[phone rings]

-Hello.
-Why haven't you been returning my calls?

[Muzi] Well, in case you haven't heard,

we're in mourning.

[tuts] I don't give a shit!

-Well, I do.
-Listen, this is something we both want.

I didn't realize you were
going to make a move so quickly.

Wait, I thought you did.

No, I was waiting for you to get the deed

then take him out.

If you didn't take him out, then who did?

[tense music fades]

[somber music playing]

[water gushing]

[breathes heavily]

[chuckles sadly]

[knock on door]

[shouting indistinctively]

-[grunts]
-Sorry for the disturbance,

[in English] Ma. Chief Nkosi,
your lawyer is here.

Argh.

[whimpers]

[sniffles]

[exhales]

[Mangaliso] Are you alright?

You know, Mangaliso,

I just don't know how to feel.

I mean, I really,
really wish dad was here.

But at the same time, I feel like

I can finally be free.

I can be myself,
I can be with Sophie freely.

[softly] I don't know.

[in Xhosa] And you?

[in English] How do you feel?

It's complicated on my side too.

I mean, I hated the man's guts.

I don't like what he did to me.

However, I feel like the person
I should be angry at is your mother.

I hate the fact that he
took her side and not mine.

But whatever that has happened,
he's still my father.

He didn't deserve to die like that.

Gunned down on the streets like a dog?

I'm so sorry.

First it was your mom,

now it's dad.

Whatever happened to my mother

is, is still a mystery
that I am trying to unravel.

But what happened to pops,

it's an entirely different story.

What do you mean?

I think I may be able
to figure out who's behind dad's death.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Matilda] Mr. Mbele.
-[Muzi] Mrs. Nkosi. Um,

I'm so sorry this couldn't wait.

It's about the will reading.

[sighs] It's gonna take
place here tomorrow,

8:00 AM.

I thought I should inform
you personally out of courtesy.

I do hope that this

unfortunate incident will

help us put the ugliness away.

So we can all move forward.

[suspenseful music continues]

That will depend on
the contents of the will,

and if I still have a job at Magenta Coal.

Well, that remains to be seen.

Oh, I guess
I'll be seeing you indeed then.

Mrs. Nkosi!

[Muzi grunts]

[humming]

Khumbulani, you're going to get me fired.

Relax. Everyone is in the sitting room.

So we have time to do whatever we want.

Mmm-mm!

You know what happened
between us was a mistake.

It wasn't supposed to happen.

I mean, what if your mom finds out?

You can't tell me you don't like this.

[giggles]

[coyly ] I do.

But you know when
you are with other people

you act like you don't know me and then

when we're together we're fine.

[Fezeka exclaims]

[Fezeka] So what exactly
happened between the two of you?

[Khumbulani] What is it to you?

[raises voice] Khumbulani, the help?

You're screwing the help?

-Wait till mom finds out about this.
-Oh, no.

Ms. Fezeka it's not
what you think, it's just--

[Khumbulani] Would you relax, Ethel?

Nobody's telling mom about anything.

Nobody.

Yeah, I'd also take my things.

Who knows how much longer
you're gonna be around for?

Dude, the help?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[sighs loudly] Fuck

[dramatic music plays]

[Mangaliso] Hi, Mboya.

I think I may have something
you wanna look into.

I had a good listening into

-Muzi's conversation on the phone.
-[Mboya] Muzi? The lawyer?

[Mangaliso] Yes, him.

I heard him speak
about taking someone out.

And I suspect they were
talking about my father.

How do you know that?

[Mangaliso] I heard it all.

He thought I was drunk and passed out.

But I had a good listening

into the conversation and I'm telling you,

he was talking to a man named Donald.

Alright. And the only Donald
I know is Donald Makabela.

Who my dad acquired a mine from.

I see.

So what's the next step?

[inhales deeply]

The next step is to pay
your father's lawyer a visit.

[Mangaliso] Right.
