It's been a nightmare.

The police won't help, I've literally tried everything.

Eviction orders, lawyers' letters...

You're my last option. If this doesn't work, I'll lose my job.

Don't worry about it. I'll get them out, okay?

You've got the keys?

Let me do it.

Wait! There's at least two men in there.

Don't you have somebody who can help you?

I think I'll be fine.

You might wanna... stand back.

Just in case.

Okay, you've got two options.

Either you pack up and leave...

...or you stay and fight.

We're gonna stay and fight.

Who sent you? Is it Kamo?

How's about we make this a fair fight?

Hey, hey, hey! You think I won't shoot you, hey?

We'll go on three, okay? One...

-What the hell you think you're doing? -Two...

You want to die, you bastard?

Three.

Hey look, man... Just... take it easy.

Okay?

Hey, you like that, don't you? Huh?

Shut up.

We'll leave. Just... don't shoot, okay?

-We'll go. -Let's go!

Hey.

- Did you lose your ball? - Funny.

-Let me get that for you. -It's alright, I... got it.

So, what do you think you will find there?

I don't know.

He's up to something, I can feel it.

Frank?

What's he doing?

He's sniffing your clothes.

That was disturbing.

Mmm.

I was... never ready for this.

We've got some fresh, new young talent doing some things

that I know you haven't heard before.

No, no, no. Please don't... Don't take off your clo--

- Oh, my god. - Whoa! Oh no, is that...

That is my... bra.

- Okay... - That's my... Yes, that is...

My God, he's booty walking.

Frank, what are you doing?

-You know you can't wear this again? -Of course I can't!

Franky, no...

What is he doing?

Is he taking my watch?

Look, take it easy, he's probably gonna put it back.

Hey, guys. How's it going?

Oh, I love that... song.

You might wanna run, Frank.

Look, just don't hurt him, okay?

Shadow, don't hurt him!

Frank, I wouldn't go downstairs, security's waiting for you.

Franky...

Hello, ma'am. How are you?

- Where have you been hiding? - I've just been busy with work.

Just trying to earn a living, you know?

I hope you haven't forgotten my granddaughter,

she's still waiting for your call.

-I'm sorry, I think I lost her number. -Oh... I'll write it for you.

She's a little heavy, but nothing you can't handle.

Okay... We'll grab some coffee sometime.

Wonderful, I'll let her know.

Ma'am, um, the photo?

Uh-uh, that one is yours. Keep it... for late nights, you know?

Okay.

Sorry! I'm sorry!

Come on, Frank. Where're you gonna go?

Are you gonna skydive off the roof?

Come on, Frank!

Why don't you just come out and let us talk about this like a couple of men, huh?

Well, you know what I mean. Look...

I don't care if you like wearing women's underwear.

If that's your thing, then that's your thing.

But I would appreciate it if it wasn't my sister's, though.

Now, I don't like it when you're stealing from us, Frank.

Frank?

Come here, I wanna show you something.

Look, dude, come on. Please, let me explain.

Have you seen the view from up here, man? It's completely amazing. Look.

Come on, dude, man. This is crazy!

-Listen to me, Frank. -Mmm?

I'm gonna ask a very simply question,

and then you'd better be straight with me, okay?

Or I might just lose my grip.

Okay, I'll be straight!

The watch you took...

-Uh. -Did you sell it?

No! It's in my bag.

But it was all smashed up, I didn't think you'd notice.

Well, you thought wrong. That was my father's watch, you idiot.

Just give me the watch, Frank.

Give me the watch, Frank!

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

-Mm. -It was...

It was stupid.

I was low on cash.

But... I'll... get my things.

And... I'll give Zola back--

No, I don't think she'll want those back. You can keep those on.

What are you still doing here, Frank? What are you-- You're a...

-Hey, hey! -Get the hell out of here!

Hello?

What kind of trouble?

Your... advert wasn't very clear. What is it exactly that you offer?

How's about you tell me what's going on, and then we'll take it from there?

- You guys enjoy. - Thank you.

- Thanks, Abs. - Sure.

Please, go ahead.

So, two years ago, my parents died in a car accident.

And a few months later, the bank wanted to take our home.

My brother was studying and I was looking for a job.

We had no money.

So I heard about this guy from a friend of mine.

That he didn't do any screenings.

No credit checks, nothing like that.

But there's a catch.

So, every time he gives you the money...

he forces you to undress.

- Let me see more. - And then he takes photographs.

He uses these photographs as blackmail.

I mean, I paid him his money about five months ago now, and...

he still wants me to pay.

He wants me to pay 20 000.

Have you been to the cops?

He owns this nightclub...

and all these policemen go there. I just couldn't take the chance.

Mm...

So you want me to get the photos for you?

Not just... mine.

I'd like you to take all of them.

There's so many women suffering because of this man.

Okay.

So you'll help me?

Yeah, I mean, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Thank you.

So where is this club?

You know this would go a whole lot easier if you just pretended... to enjoy it.

I don't have all day, sweetheart, take it off.

All of it.

Good.

Now, turn around.

Put your arms down.

Look at me.

Don't miss a payment.

You wouldn't want these to get out, would you?

No.

Take her out the back.

Are you even listening to me? Max!

Okay, Gigi, calm down.

Listen, I know you're upset and I'm sorry, but it's not my fault, all right?

I really want to meet your parents.

You expect me to believe that?

Every time I invite them over, you've suddenly got work.

-Listen, it's not like that. -Yeah.

If I could convince the bad guys to keep to a schedule, I would,

but it's out of my hands.

You know what's gonna be out of your hands? Me.

I'm not kidding around, Max.

You need to get over your fears and commit to this relationship.

- What? - "Commit to this relationship."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll definitely do that.

Max!

Hey, Gigi, listen, something's come up. I've gotta go, I'll call you back later.

No! No, guy, no.

We're closed for renovations, you can come back in a month.

I need to speak to your boss, man.

He's not here.

Come on, don't bullshit me. I know he's here.

-What did you just say? -You heard what I said.

Hey... Mandla.

What's up, gangster?

Hey... do we know each other?

No, we don't know each other, but that's about to change.

Desert Eagle.

You don't see too many of those around here anymore.

So you like guns, huh?

I thought you were into cameras.

I'm into lots of things.

Let's see. You can either be someone's husband or...

boyfriend, but not with that gun.

You managed to get past my security, which means someone's paying you to be here.

Well, you could've just asked, you know.

Look, if this is about money...

then just allow me to give you a raise.

I'll double whatever they're paying you.

You just have to tell me who sent you.

Actually, you know what?

I think I'll do this one for free.

Hey! What do you think you're doing? Hands off!

- Let him go. - Police, drop your gun.

Now! Hurry up, move!

You, against the wall. Now.

Put your gun down.

Now.

-You're making a mistake. -Think, man, use your head.

Okay.

Hey, hey! Hands on the counter.

Move!

-Is this your place? -Yeah, I'm the owner.

-Do you know this guy? -No, he just broke in.

Luckily I was in the area,

I saw him take down one of your men at the door.

Don't go anywhere,

I'm gonna call in a unit to take your statement.

-Move! -Yes, of course, officer.

-How did that happen? -I don't know, boss. I don't know.

-Where's Benjamin? -I'll go check.

Yeah, you do that!

Shit!

Take these things off me.

Max, take them off.

You need to get used to those.

-This isn't funny, dude. -Does it look like I'm laughing?

Oh, okay... Okay.

You think I'm playing around?

Hey, dude, hey! Dude, do you mind?

-You'll eat my ass today. -Dude, do you--

I'm not playing, man! Just give me the keys, I'll do them myself, okay?

You're so childish!

Really? You're gonna put the keys there?

-Yeah, you need to be taught a lesson. -Jesus.

What are you talking about?

You can't go around punching your way through the city, Shadow.

What were you even doing there?

What do you think? I was doing my job.

Ah. What job?

The kind that pays the rent, Max.

And I was almost done until you came in, busting in with your little act.

My "little act"?

Dude, I saved your life.

Oh, really? Is that how you saw it?

You know what? Never mind. Forget it.

You're never gonna change, and that's okay.

But I mean, do you even know where you were? Hmm?

How's about that guy in there? What can you tell me about him?

I know enough, man.

You "know enough"?

And the women that he takes money from?

-What happens when they don't pay? -Yeah, the photos. I know all about them.

No, after the photos, Shadow.

-Hmm-mmm. -Yeah.

Yeah, you see? You don't know everything.

Glovebox.

Six bodies so far.

Nine women missing. That's what happens.

This client of yours, you need to bring her in.

Maybe we can cook something up.

Yeah, but she doesn't trust the cops. Imagine that.

Well, you need to move her, man.

You know, half of these victims were taken from their homes.

Shit.

Look, I'm not trying to scare you here,

but you have the right to know what we're up against.

Is there somewhere else you can go?

Um, a friend of mine has a place.

-Maybe we could go there for a while. -The sooner the better, okay?

-Does Mandla know I sent you? -No, this is just a precaution.

Hey...

Mary?

Mary, look at me.

He is not going to get to you, okay?

It's not me I'm worried about.

It's my brother, Reggie.

He knows about the photos and he wants to go after Mandla.

Look, I've tried to speak to him, but he's just so stubborn.

Mary...

We'll work this out.

Okay?

I promise.

Yo, are you Mandla?

I know what you're doing to my sister.

Is that right?

And who's your sister?

Mary Masondo.

Ah...

Well, that makes sense.

Your guy couldn't get the job done, so now it's your turn, right?

Look, just shut up, okay? Shut up.

We've paid you, so... so it's over.

Get out of here, boy.

Before you do something you'll regret.

I'm not afraid of you.

Now, I'm warning you, okay?

Stay away from my sister.

Or what?

Hmm? What will you do?

Where's your gun?

You're not carrying? Seriously?

I don't need a gun.

Oh. So you thought you'd come down here and do what, huh? Throw a tantrum?

Cry?

Maybe even take a swing?

What's your name, boy?

What's your name?

Reggie.

Reggie?

Let me teach you a lesson my father taught me.

Never ever threaten someone...

unless you're willing to shoot them in the head!

Bang!

Bring me my money, boy.

Or next time... the safety comes off.

Get out of here!

So...

who is she?

Who are we talking about?

Funny.

Is she your new little girlfriend?

-Was that your second date? -She's just a client, Abby.

Just a client, okay?

Oh.

-Good. -Good.

So you'll have a drink with me, then?

Uh, actually I gotta go. I can't.

Not tonight, you don't.

-And why is that, Abby? -I can't believe you forgot.

Forgot about what?

You know, I don't know why men are so clueless with these things.

It's my birthday, idiot.

Oh, I'm sorry, I completely blanked out.

That's okay, because you can make it up to me

"no" because I'm the birthday girl, so...

cheers.

-Why do I feel like I'm gonna regret this? -I'll make it worth your while.

All right, happy birthday.

Mm!

-Again? -Again and again.

Bottoms up.

Urgh!

Mmm!

-All right, cool. I'm done. -Mmm-mmm! You spilt.

-Thanks. -Let's go.

- What's going on here? Is this a marathon? - Yes.

-Come on, Shadow. -All right, you asked for it.

Zinhle?

Zinhle?

Zinhle!

Zinhle!

Please...

Oh God, no.

Oh God, no.

Wake up...

-These are amazing. -Yeah, I like this the most, though.

You didn't take that.

-Girl, I took these, okay? I swear, I did! -Lies.

Never mind those, check this out.

Whoa.

And that's my brother.

Say hello, Shadow.

Hello.

Hi.

Ash is an old friend from varsity, she's gonna be taking the room.

Hopefully.

Wanna... go...

put something on... and join us?

Um, yeah. Okay. Um, I didn't know we had a, uh...

Just give me a minute. All right?

-Um... -Please tell me you got us a dog.

Look, it's not what you think, okay? It's...

Hey, uh...

What's happening?

Abby, you remember my sister, Zola?

This is her friend, um... Angela.

Ashley.

Ashley.

Wow... This is super, super awkward, so I'm just, um...

I'm just gonna go to your room?

- Yeah, you do that. - I'll see you there.

Good meeting you guys.

Yeah...

Listen to me, Shadow is right, we can't stay here anymore.

So we're gonna let Mandla take control

over our lives and let your new friend handle everything?

Reggie! Reggie, please, you can't fight me on this right now.

Listen, I've packed a bag for you, um...

don't come back here after work, I'll see you at Thembi's house.

Look, I've got to go, okay?

Mary?

Mary, we need to talk.

I know you're in there.

Shit!

Hey, Reggie?

We need to talk.

Uh... How do you know my name?

I'm Shadow, I spoke to your sister?

Hey, I get it, okay? You're angry.

You wanna go after him. She's your sister, it's your fight, I get it.

Look, we don't need your help, okay?

He doesn't scare me.

Well, he should.

What? You think we grew up in Disneyland? I know people like him.

No, I don't think you do, man. He's not just some average gangbanger.

What are you doing here?

I want to help your sister.

How does that work? I'm supposed to sit back and let you handle it?

Nah, we'll handle this together, man, but you need to trust me.

Trust you? Dude, I don't know you.

Listen here...

Do you want to get hurt? Hmm? Do you want your sister to die?

Reggie, you cannot go after him on your own.

Look, I appreciate you coming down here, but... I've got this.

I can handle this, it's my problem.

Reggie, please, I'm begging you. I'm exhausted.

I'm gonna call Shadow and tell him what's going on.

We don't need to.

-Yes, we do. -Why?

Because he's the only reason why I'm alive right now.

Okay, so what you're saying is that I can't handle Mandla?

Hmm? Is that how low you think of me?

I can't talk to you when you're like this.

I'm going to go take a shower.

-Mary... -Uh-uh!

Evening.

Hey.

-I had no idea you were home. -Yeah, I just got in.

Nice moves, by the way.

Thanks!

Look...

I just wanted to apologize for this morning.

I didn't want you to think I was, you know...

I mean I don't normally have people around like that.

It was her birthday.

Well, I mean, if it was her birthday,

then you had to do what you had to do, right?

Okay, that came out wrong, didn't it?

Yeah.

We started off wrong. Let's start again.

My name's Ash.

Shadow.

Nice to meet you, Shadow.

Are one of these for me?

Um... I guess.

Mmm...

Actually...

Here's a paintbrush, and you can help.

-Are you serious? -Yep.

Great, I love to paint.

-Excellent! -Yeah...

- Who's this? - Hey, Mandla, remember me?

Reggie?

-Look, I've got your money, okay? -No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

Now you listen to me. I want my sister's photographs back, okay?

Okay, Reggie.

I'll give you a shot, but if you're lying to me, Reggie...

or if you call the cops...

I'll put a bullet in your sister's head.

Come to the club, tonight.

Ten o'clock.

You know, I didn't just take photos. Me and your sister, we had fun.

She was really into it.

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.

I don't get it. So the taskforce shut down and then you became a detective?

-But then you quit? -We'd arrest guys,

bring them in, do the paperwork.

And then watch them go free. I just got tired of it, you know?

So now you're like, what? A private detective?

More like someone who fixes things.

What about you, Dr. Davids?

Why medicine?

Well, I'm not a doctor yet. Hopefully, by the end of the year.

I don't know. I guess I just...

also enjoy fixing things, fixing people.

Okay. Got family here?

Just me.

-No boyfriend? -He's in Cape Town.

He's a commercial diver.

Not much water up here, so...

Zola told me about the lightning strike.

-How it affected your nerves. -Really?

-She mentioned that to you? -You don't mind that she told me, do you?

No, no, it's fine.

What does it feel like?

Like a flat line.

Like everything's the same.

Do you mind?

Um...

Can you feel this?

Mmm-hmm.

And this?

It feels the same.

You don't feel any pain?

I'm sorry. I just... I gotta take this.

-Can we catch up on this later? -Yes, of course.

Mandla!

Did you have fun with my sister?

Run away, son...

He's got balls, I'll give him that.

Go make sure he's not wearing a wire.

Ah!

Yeah.

How's your nose, man?

Reggie couldn't make it.

Hey, hey! Get back, you swine.

Get back.

What is this?

I brought your money.

You're gonna give me all the photos, and then shut down your business.

Tonight.

Is that right? And why would I do that?

It's your only way out of this.

So, you're going to come in here, tell me what to do,

and I'll just roll over like a dog?

Don't move! Get up! I said, get up!

Hey, hey... Take it easy, man.

Take it easy. You want the photos? They're yours.

They're in my safe. There's about a hundred grand in there.

-What about Mary and her brother, huh? -I'll leave them alone.

You have my word, okay?

-Let me just get the key-- -I said don't move, man.

Listen, I told you, I don't care about the money.

I just want--

Hey...

Okay.

Give this bag to your sister.

It's the photos and some money.

How did you know I was coming here?

- I told you, I know what I'm doing. - Now, listen...

You never met me and you were never here.

-You understand? -And then?

-What about Mandla? -Forget about him.

It's all over. Reg?

Reg?

You were never here, okay?

-Now, get outta here, man. -Wait, Sha-- Wait.

Bro, I...

I'm sorry about what I said to you. I was...

Hey, hey, hey... There's no need to apologize, I understand.

We're good, me and you. All right?

Now, leave.

Yes?

What kind of trouble?
