[exhales]

[suspenseful dramatic music intensifies]

-[Khumbulani in Zulu] Really now, Ma.
-[yelps, giggles]

-[in Xhosa] Khumbulani, you startled me.
-[Khumbulani in English] I know.

[in Zulu] Mangaliso went out clubbing
last night and he never came back.

Okay. Thanks. Do you have it?

[in English] Yeah. [clears throat]

So all you have to do
is just put it somewhere hidden

and I'll be able to hear all
the conversation from my phone.

[in English] Wow.

-Okay.
-Wait, Ma,

are you placing it in here?
In Mangaliso's room?

I have to find out if this idiot
is the one who's blackmailing me.

Mangaliso does not care
about anything beside booze!

[whispers] Everybody's
a suspect right now.

But we do not need a bug to
get inside Mangaliso's head.

Okay, where do you
suggest we put the bug then?

Somewhere else.
Somewhere you do not have access to.

Fine, I'll put the bug
somewhere else but you,

you have to find out
what Mangaliso is up to.

[in Zulu] How? Because
Mangaliso and I are not close.

[in Xhosa] So what now?

Fezeka can talk to him.

[in English] They're close to each other.

Get Fezeka then to talk to him.

Fezeka is not vibing with this whole drama

-at all.
-[Matilda in Xhosa] Oh, my child,

[in English] make her "vibe" then.

Khumbulani, I cannot be the only one
who is clear about what's at stake here.

[sighs] Okay.

[in Xhosa] I'll talk to her. [sighs]

[dramatic music plays]

[birds charpping]

[Aurora in Zulu] Hey, Matilda!

You're just going past me.
What are you doing in my house?

[in English] [laughs] Oh, Aurora I see
your time at Magenta Coal has

-almost helped with your decor.
-Who invited you? What do you want?

-[Aurora ] What do you want?
-[Matilda] Look at that.

[Matilda] Okay, take a chair.

What kind of mother are you?

Using your child to fight your battles.

Putting her in danger like that.

Matilda, are you threatening my daughter?

[ornaments clattering]

[Matilda] Get your daughter
out of my husband's office.

Or what?

[chuckles] Or what?

-[in Zulu] Oh girl. [giggling]
-Or what, yes, or what?

[in Xhosa] Aurora, whatever.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Sibonile in English] You all know
the history of this family, my family.

How my destiny was taken away
from me and given to my younger brother.

You can't seriously think

giving my daughter
the leadership makes up for that.

I'm still alive
and capable of doing just that.

To lead this family and this company.

[man 1] Yeah, we all understand you.

We all know how we got here.

[man 2] But we're all
in the same predicament as you.

What's important for
this family, is business growth.

It's what feeds all of our families.

No. Come on, stop patronising me.

This has nothing to do
with business growth,

or you wouldn't have put such a small girl
to be in charge instead of me.

[dramatic music plays]

-[in Xhosa] Is it really him?
-[in Zulu] Yes it is him indeed, Ma.

[indistinctively]

[in Xhosa] You'll tell me
everything I need to know, right?

And then you'll have
yourself a pleasant day, okay?

[indistinctively]

[in Zulu] She's are talking you, man!

[in English] [frightened] Ma'am, I told
your son everything that I know.

[in Zulu] I don't know anything else.

[in English] That's good.
That's very good, that's very good.

Now you are gonna tell me the truth.

Ma'am, I really didn't
know what was inside that letter.

[in Zulu] Please don't hurt me.

[in English] Ma'am,
the letter was sent anonymously

to my company and apparently

the client paid a huge
amount to have it delivered to you.

-[Xhosa] I can't hear what you're saying.
-I

[in English] I was just a delivery man.

[in Zulu] I don't know
anything. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[in English] This never happened.

[in Zulu] Get the hell
out of here you, messenger boy! Geez.

[in English] No, Ma, this is frustrating.

We can't give up, though.

There's too much at stake.

-Alright?
-Yeah.

Get your jacket.

[suspenseful music playing]

Thank you.

[suspenseful music ends]

-[Fezeka] What do you want?
-[Khumbulani] Are you okay, Fez?

Well, I actually don't even know how

I really feel I'm conflicted, I can't

concentrate at work.

[in Zulu] Yeah, Fez listen,
that's not important for now.

[in English] That's not important
obviously, you would say that Khumbulani.

Because all you care about is money!

But sis, we don't need that right now.

We need to do what needs to be done.

I don't know, I don't think
I can help mom in her quest.

What do you mean?

-It's not like I can do anything, anyway.
-That's where you're wrong.

Mangaliso, you need to speak to him.
There's more that he knows.

Dude, I'm done manipulating people!

Look where mom is now!

You think this is just
about mom wanting Sandile to takeover?

It's about survival, sis.

Survival!

[dramatic music playing]

[pensive music plays]

Aluta,

thank you so much for coming
to support me at my bail hearing.

It looks like you're the only one
from the office that came to support me.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

For what it's worth,
I totally believe that you're innocent.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I

I must, I must
find the real killers of Zeb.

[exhales] It's the only way
that I can exonerate myself.

I can't afford to let this go to trial.

What do you need me to do for you?

For now I just need you
to go back to the office,

keep doing what you're doing and

get the company stable.

And I'll join you later.

So you're gonna come to the office?

Oh yeah. There's plenty
of work to be done,

and I need to catch up.

-Gotcha, see you later.
-Thank you.

[footsteps receding]

[Sibonile] Those idiots have the guts
to make the decision that they did. Tsk.

I spoke to them, those who decided
to appoint my daughter in that position.

[in Zulu] How can they do that
while I'm still alive? That's an insult.

They said it's for the company's growth.

How can that be achieved
when the company's being run by a child,

and I'm here to do it myself?

No baby, man. My goodness.

Your heart will stop.
Look at how stressed you are.

Have you forgotten
that Aluta is our daughter?

[in English] We still have an advantage.

[in Zulu] No, it makes no difference,
I want to do this myself.

[in English] Gotcha.

[Sandile in Zulu] Wait Ma,

[in English] so they are
against Aluta being in charge?

But they haven't said
anything about you or us.

Not yet, but they will.

In the meantime, we have a pawn in play.

[in Xhosa] Play it again.

[anticipatory music plays]

[anticipatory music playing]

[in English] Hey there.

Oh no, you think this is real, don't you?

[in Xhosa] Oh my child, these are not the
dolls you used to play with as a child.

[in English] Aunty Matilda,

we actually can work together
for the good of this company.

That's the reason why I'm here.

Good of the company?

I like that.

[Matilda] If that's really
what you're interested in,

maybe you should tell the board
to formalise Sandile's appointment.

If you can just kindly excuse me.

By all means.

[suspenseful music plays]

[in Zulu] Don't you dare
make a sound. Don't you dare.

-Move! Move! Move !
-Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[engine revs]

[dramatic music plays]

[in English] Thank you.

[dramatic music playing]

-Good day sir.
-Thank you.

What on earth are you doing here?

[sighs] Relax, Matilda.

I only came to get some of my stuff.

You have no shame, you know?

Using my niece to get your way.

You're pathetic.

That's why I chose Zebedee over you.

You are no man, and you'll never win.

Not while I'm still alive.

Have a nice day.

Matilda.

-[dramatic music playing]
-[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

[ominous music playing]

Bitch! [clicks]

[sirens wailing]

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Aluta whimpering, panting]

[fearfully] Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

I can hear you.

Who are you?

[pants] What do you want from me?

[Aluta sobbing]

Okay.

If you want money,
my family has plenty of it.

I can give it to you.

But just know that they can

and they will find you
if you don't let me go.

[door slams loudly]

Hello? [whimpering]
What do you want from me?

[yells] Come back!

[screaming]

[Aurora] Aluta?

[Aluta sobbing]

[Aurora] Aluta!

[in Zulu] Wow.

[in English] Aluta!

[in Zulu] Where is that child?

[in English] Aluta!

Aluta!

[ominous music playing]

[keypad beeping]

Hello, yeah. Precious?

[Precious] Hello?

[in Zulu] This is Aurora's mom here.

[Precious] Oh! Hi, Mrs. Nkosi.

-[Precious in Zulu] How can I help?
-Okay, are you guys working late tonight?

No. we are not working late today.

-Really?
-[Precious in English] Why?

[in English] So do you know
if Aluta is still in the office?

[in Zulu] I was the last one at the office
and she was not there when I left.

Have you tried calling her?

[in Zulu] I was not going to
call you before trying to get hold of her.

-I can't find her. So
-[Precious in English] Oh.

-[in English] It's okay.
-[in Zulu] Oh I thought I Sorry ma.

[in Zulu] Wow.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Sibonile in English] Hello, love.

[in Zulu] You know

What is it? What's wrong?

I've been trying to call this child
and she is not answering my calls.

Well, maybe she's with Muzi.

Yeah, apparently Muzi had a bail hearing.

Maybe they are celebrating
him getting bail as if he's not guilty.

But no, it's unlike her.

She normally calls me if she'll be late.

What can we say?

She's a big boss now, isn't she?

We are just her humble servants
and she doesn't have to report to us.

[in English] I-- No, I doubt.

[in Zulu] So you're just going
to stand there and do nothing?

[in English] No, but
there's nothing wrong.

[in Zulu] That child is
trying to prove a point.

[in English] Wow, okay.

[in Zulu] Let me

[sniffs][dialling]

[female voice in English] Please leave
your message after the tone.

[in Sotho] Gosh, it's still on voicemail.

[in Zulu] Aluta, please call me
when you get this message.

[Sibonile] You're so worried
about nothing, hey.

It's no biggie, no need to worry.

Come on.

[suspenseful music playing]

Baby, Aluta hasn't come
back yet. The bed has not been slept in.

I tried to call
and I can't get through now.

Huh?

[in Zulu] So what should we do now?

I'm telling you,
there's something wrong, babe.

But this is unlike her.

Calm down, you'll end up
suffering from a heart attack.

We had a disagreement
with her, she's still angry.

Maybe she went to Muzi's or Zebedee's.

But as you said, this is unlike her.

You know, I suspect there's
someone who's kidnapped this child.

-And I have a feeling who it might be.
-Who is it?

[suspenseful music swells]

[car engine running]

[Muzi in English] Matilda,
have you seen Aluta?

How should I know where she is?
She's your bosom buddy.

How'd the bail hearing go?

Well. And none of you came to support me.

Just Aluta!

[Matilda] What difference
would it have made?

Listen, I know things haven't
been rosy between us of late,

but for Zebedee's sake

and for the sake of the company,
we need to keep our differences apart.

Don't you dare speak his name!

Now, just because you're out on bail,

does not mean
you're not still under suspicion.

If you believe that I killed him

then you don't know me at all.

[Matilda] What I believe is irrelevant.

It's the evidence that matters.

[Muzi] My lawyers will prove my innocence.

Meanwhile, why haven't the appointment
of Sandile as CEO been formalised?

I hear you changed your mind?

-I have my reasons.
-[scoffs]

Everyone knows that all
you've ever wanted was for your son

to be in charge of the company.
Why the sudden change of heart?

I should be the one asking questions,
about the death of my husband.

-You are avoiding the question.
-[Matilda] So are you!

You were so quick
to have your little pet as CEO,

it actually raised my suspicions.

Why are you so bent on belittling her?

Oh, look at you! Uncle Muzi to the rescue.

She's family!

-[resentful] Family?
-Yes!

What do you know about family?

Don't you believe in family?

Okay. Alright.

Answer me this one question then,

who is Sandile's father?

[dramatic music playing]

[Aurora in Zulu] Hey, you.

[in English] Ugh, my day just got worse.

[in Zulu[ And it has
not started, I'm telling you.

Until you bring my child
from wherever you've hidden her.

-You are threatening me?
-[in Xhosa] You witch!

You're threatening me...

-[in Xhosa] while I'm in mourning?
-Mourning for who?

You know, you are messing
with a wrong woman, I'm telling you.

-What's wrong with you?
-[in English] Ladies!

[in English] Hey! Please.

This is no way to start the morning.

Muzi, Muzi, I don't care for the morning.

I just want her to bring my daughter back.

[Muzi] What does that mean?

Ask her. She came
to my house threatening her,

the next thing she's nowhere to be found!

[Matilda in Xhosa][giggling] I don't know.
What were you expecting?

Appointing your daughter
to such a dangerous position.

Maybe she's out in the streets
celebrating with boys and drugs.

-[in English] All night.
-Nonsense.

[in Zulu] You know that she's responsible
and you know where she is.

[in English] Please,
let's not jump into conclusions.

[Matilda] I don't know
where your child is!

[in Zulu] I'm going
to call the police on you,

and you'll regret ever crossing paths
with Aurora, I'm telling you.

[in English] I do not
have time for this foolishness.

-Aurora, please, calm down.
-[clicks tongue]

Tell me what you know.

Everything.

[dramatic music plays]

Please don't kill me.

-[dramatic music continues]
-[whimpering]

[in Zulu] Eat.

Eat.

[whimpering]

[in English] Who are you? [sobs]

Who are you?

What do you want from me?

-[in Zulu] Eat.
-Mm-mm.

What do you want?

[in English] Listen, just tell me
who you are and what you want.

I promise, I won't say anything.

[in Zulu] Eat up.

Mm-mm. [whimpering]

[whimpering]

[in English] Who are you? [sniffs]

-[in Zulu] Eat.
-[in English] What do you want from me?

[in English] [sobbing] What
do you want from me?

[crying]

[sobbing]

Hello? Hello?

Hello!

[crying]

[crying]

[Muzi] Hurry up please.

The minute you have
word, let me know, alright?

Okay, thank you. Thank you very much.

-Any luck?
-Nothing yet.

That's why I sent for you.

You are the only one
I can trust right now.

-[sighs]
-We must find her.

You know, all of this
has to do with her position right now.

I mean, who would want to kidnap Aluta?

-She's a great girl.
-Of course, she is.

-[in English] Ma.
-[in Xhosa] Sandile, what have you done?

What have you done, my child?
Tell me, what have you done?

[in Zulu] What have I done?

[Matilda] Who did you talk to?
What have you done, Sandile?

Ma, I'm lost,
[in English] what are you talking about?

[in English] Your paternity.

[in Xhosa] Muzi asked me
a silly question. What have you done?

Sandile, who did you tell?

Who did you talk to?

[in Zulu] It just slipped, Ma.

[in Xhosa] A fart slips, Sandile. A fart!

Not something this important.

Who did you tell?

[splutters] I Dimakatso.

[dramatic music plays]

[in Zulu] Hey, you!

Are you sleeping?

Listen,

your father said you must sign here.

If you don't sign, I'll leave you here.

[dramatic music intensifies]

[Sandile] Ma

Ma, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

[in Xhosa] Don't do this again,
do you understand?

-[in English] Yeah.
-Anyway,

bigger news than us.

[in Xhosa] Apparently Aluta is missing.

Sandile, not you.

[in English] You did threaten her,

[in Zulu] so it's justified.

[in English] I do wish that maybe I had
something to do with it, but I didn't.

[in Xhosa] It's not me.

Oh hey, Aurora.

You want me to get physical and use force.

I don't know where your child is, ma'am.

[in Zulu] You know what
it's like to be a mom, right?

You're a woman as well.

Aluta is the only child I have.
Please, I beg of you.

[pensive music playing]

[in English] How difficult is it
to get security footage?

What, what took you so long?

-[anticipatory music playing]
-[sighs]

What are you doing here?

If we're gonna find Aluta,

we need to put our differences aside.

[Mangaliso] Damn it!

We need to call the cops immediately.

Cops take forever to respond.

Call Mboya.

He will think that
it has to do with your father's murder,

and it will make him act quickly.

-[suspenseful music plays]
-Wait.

Wait.

[Muzi] I think I have
seen this car before.

Is Aurora still in the building?

Yes, she is.
She's with my mom in my dad's office.

[dramatic music plays]

Didn't I warn you?

That you were
putting your child in danger? Didn't I?

My husband had
many enemies because of this position.

He was constantly in danger.
And you took your child, your only child,

and you put her in danger too.

Ah-ah, sis.
Now you want to blame me for this?

[in Zulu] Ma'am, please,

[in English] if you have anything--

[in Xhosa] Good Lord,
help me, please. Help me.

[in English] You cannot hear.

[Xhosa] You are deaf.

I said to you,
there-is-nothing-I-know, sis.

-[Muzi] Oh, here you are guys.
-Go and look elsewhere.

-[in English] I've been looking for you.
-[Matilda in Xhosa] What is it?

-[in English] Aurora,
-[Matilda ] What's going on?

I need you to see something.

[Muzi] Come.

This is the car park
where Aluta was taken, right?

Look at that.

Do you recognise that car?

[in Zulu] Wow!

But-- Muzi, what's going on?

-[in English] I don't know.
-Why would he take her, man?

[splutters] I don't understand.

[in Zulu] What's going on, huh?

[in English] Unless somebody sent him.

-[in English] Who?
-[in Xhosa] He's your husband.

[in Zulu] Hey, you! Hey, you!
Stop talking rubbish.

-I'll give you a smack!
-What for?

[in Xhosa] I know for a fact he was
angry that she took that position.

[in Sotho] And you
were forcing her in there!

[in Zulu] Okay. So how do you know
what we were talking about?

-[in English] Matilda?
-Hm?

[in Zulu] You put a listening device
in my house, didn't you?

-[in English] You evil thing!
-[Muzi] Hey, hey, hey!

-[in Xhosa] Look here--
-[Muzi in English] Whoa, whoa!

[Muzi in English] Please, ladies! Please.

Finding Aluta is our priority now, right?

-[sighs]
-[Muzi] Right?

[Muzi] Shall we?

Please. Thank you.

[Matilda] Good luck!

Uncle.

What?

Okay, wait. Hold on.
May I have a word with you?

What? You're
you're thinking of something?

I'm uh I owe you a big apology.

You really are a good man and

I hope you can find it
deep down in your heart to

forgive me for what I'm about to tell you.

What?

[whispers] Goodness.

I'm I'm the one who called Mboya on you.

-Why?
-I'm sorry!

I overheard you having a phone
conversation about taking somebody about

taking somebody out.

And I realise now that
I may have been wrong.

You you were basically arrested
because of me, and I'm really sorry.

This is not the place
nor the time to start worrying about me.

Aluta's welfare is more
important to us now, right?

Yes, sir.

[dramatic music playing]

[Aurora yells] Aluta!

-[Muzi yells] Aluta!
-[Aurora] Aluta!

[Aurora in Zulu] Gosh, where is she?

[Aurora n English] Aluta!

-[Muzi] Aluta!
-[Aurora] Aluta!

[exclaims] Aluta!

[phone ringing]

Aluta is calling.

-[whispering] Answer! Answer!
-Answer.

Aluta?

[in Sotho] Are you alright?

[in English, sighs] Okay, okay.

-[sighs with relief]
-Well?

-She says she's fine. Let's go.
-[exhales]

Let's go and find her.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Muzi] Hey Matilda,

I just want to let you know
that we have found Aluta.

Matilda, are you there?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here!

Where'd you find her?

[Muzi] She was with her father.

Uh I thought she was kidnapped.

Well, so we thought.

[Matilda] So what, her
father kidnapped her?

Oh, he claimed that he was rescuing her.

Is it true?

Well, only Aluta can confirm that.

Well, what did she say?

[sighs] There is another matter.

Aluta has signed
the chairmanship over to her father.

No. How'd that happen?

Your guess is as good as mine.

That conniving couple,
they set this whole thing up!

-[Muzi] Clearly.
-Well, we have to stop this.

If Aluta signed
the chairmanship over to her father

and the board ratifies it,

he will be confirmed as chairman today.

No. No, that cannot happen.

There is only one way we can stop this.

[Matilda] Well?

Sandile should accept what his father
willed by stepping up to the position.

[chuckles] Muzi, I'm gonna
have to talk to you later.

[dramatic music playing]

[in Zulu] Where is Aluta?

[Aurora in English] As if you care.

[Sibonile in Zulu ] What do you mean
"As if I care"? I do care.

That's why I'm asking where she is.

[Aurora ] You know,

-you are just something else.
-What do you mean I'm something else?

You've been preaching to me
that I needed to be tough.

And not to allow protocol to hinder me
from getting what's rightfully mine.

I did not mean that you should
put out daughter through such pain.

[Sibonile] Don't just talk
about our child getting hurt--

Are you still on about that?

Tell her. Were you hurt?

Aluta, are you alright?

[in English] Ma please, hey?
Don't pretend you care.

[in Zulu] Dad told me
you were part of this.

Aluta, please believe me, my child.

I know nothing about this.

[Aluta in English] Whatever, Ma.

Whatever happened, happened.
Let's just get over it.

No, you're right.
Whatever happened, happened.

[in Zulu] What now needs to happen is,

we need to be a united front
and stick together.

[Aurora] What do you mean?

I mean, let's not allow dark forces
to come between us and divide us.

They're busy now trying to divide us.

They're scheming
against us to get us divided.

Let's not allow that.
Let's unite and conquer.

Can't you see that we're in control?

[in English] We can change things
and make them better.

[in Zulu] Can't you--

Listen here, what we need
to do is to change the policy.

To make our lives easier till the end.

[in English] I promise.

Okay.

-[Aurora in English] Baby girl.
-Please, Ma,

don't "baby girl" me.

[in Zulu] I know whatever you've
done with dad, you're used to doing it.

Manipulating and scamming people.

Not giving a care
who gets hurt in the process.

You know, you're just the same as Matilda.

There is no difference,
not even a little bit.

[in English] But don't worry,
I won't rock the boat.

[dramatic music playing]

So does this mean

Sibonile and Aurora
are behind the blackmail?

[Matilda] It doesn't seem like it. I mean,

if they were behind
the whole Aluta kidnapping

then they wouldn't need to blackmail me.

So why don't we just do as Muzi
suggests and let Sandile run the company?

And risk being exposed and kicked out
of here with nothing? Are you kidding me?

No, as much as it irks
me to play second fiddle to that

Aurora and her wild ox of a husband,

I think this might work in our favour.

No, just let them
be in control of the company for now.

[tense music playing]

Ah. [chuckles]

What's going on here?

Who called this meeting?

[Sibonile] I did.

You have no shame.

Your daughter is at home
suffering from trauma,

yet here you are, making moves.

The last time I checked,
you still had a case to answer.

A case for killing my brother

and a CEO of this company.

So,

I think I'm speaking for everyone if
I say we're doing just fine without you.

So you can excuse us.

[ominous music plays]

Okay. I'm pretty sure you all
have heard that my daughter, Aluta,

decided to do the right thing

and sign this company over to me.

[clapping]

So, my first official duty will be

as promised, to double
the salary for every board member.

-Thank you.
-[board members clapping]

[woman] And what about the Eskom tender?

[Sibonile] And what about it?

We should be pooling
our resources towards preparing for that.

Yeah, but we've been
doing fine before Eskom.

And I believe we'll be fine,
with or without Eskom.

Now, to other business matters.

I believe we should have
an event celebrating my appointment.

And please invite all stakeholders.

-Yes, thank you.

What can I do for you, Mboya?

I don't remember us calling you.

There was a kidnapping reported.

My daughter is back now
and I think that's all that matters.

So, if you don't mind

[Mboya] Oh, Ms Nkosi,

I'm glad to see you're alright,

but I have a few questions for you.

You know what,
my daughter is traumatised now.

-She cannot--
-Ma, Ma,

it's okay. Let me just
hear what he has to say.

Mr. Mboya, what can I do for you?

Is there anything
you can tell me about the event?

Um, no.

All I remember was being blindfolded and

kept in a space where I don't even know.

And if it wasn't for my father, I

[Mboya] Your father rescued you?

How did he manage that?

I think you can direct all
those questions to my husband.

As you can see, my daughter
is very traumatised right now.

If there is anything else
you remember, don't hesitate to call me.

Thank you.

Is this what sticking together looks like?
