Back up!
Put the gun down.

You think I'm playing with you?!
I ain't playing with you.

Shit!

I didn't see him.
Stay in the car.

He just came out of nowhere.
Just stay in the car!

I told you to put the gun down,
didn't I?

Hey, Bish, have you got yours?

"Er, yeah, kinda."

What?

"Bruv, listen, you've been up there
for two hours, bro.

What's wrong with you? Come on, man."

Yeah, I've got it. I've got it.

Are you gonna jump or what?
I'm supposed to be somewhere.

You think this is funny!
You think I won't jump!

They want me to jump!

Don't you test me!
I don't think this is -

Don't you laugh at me! I...
You don't give...

...a toss about me."
Bro,

you're meant to be talking him down,
not giving him reasons to jump.

Come on.
Fiver he tells Bish he was bullied.

Yeah, or he never went to school.
Or that he had to fight.

You know what? I'd like
to fight you, you know that?

Ah, here we go.

Are you all right, babe? Yeah,
we're all packed and ready to go.

"It might be best if you get a cab
cos we're slightly delayed."

Delayed?
"Yeah, you know Bishop, man."

He wanted to get some...
sun cream. Sun cream.

"Yeah, you know he likes to keep
looking young and all that."

It's a bit late for that. Just
promise me you'll be at the airport.

Baby, whenever have I let...

I grew up in care, mate.
Approved schools, prison.

No-one, no-one to say
they were proud of me.

Back here again.
It's my only option.

No, no, no. Hey, hey.

Listen, listen.
I think we're about the same age.

I do. Obviously life's been
a little kinder to me,

that's the cocoa butter and all that,

but the point is, I understand
where you're coming from.

You don't understand me. No, I do.
You don't understand me. I do.

I understand where you're coming
from. I was in care myself. OK?

So I get it. I remember the little
box of chocolates at Christmas.

And, fuck, if there's
one card on your birthday.

You was in care?
I was in care, man.

I know what it was like to not have
parents around to say they're

proud of you, I understand.
D'you know my mum, my mum left me

under the counter at a post office.
She left you? Under a counter.

With just a picture of her.

I've still got it.

So you see, mate,

we all have reasons to jump, all right?

But if I jump, no-one gives a toss,
mate.

There's no-one gonna be
at my funeral, mate.

I'm some shitty ex-con. Hey, no,
we do. People give a toss, man.

Have you ever seen a...

Have you ever seen Lethal Weapon?
What are you talking about?

The film where Mel Gibson and...

Never mind. But the point is,

you're right.Yeah.
You're right.

People don't always
care about people like us.

No-one cares about us, mate.
No-one cares about us.

So therefore...
No, no, no! What are you doing?!

Let's jump together. No, no, wait!

So we're gonna jump together.
Wait, wait, wait.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry, man.

Don't be sorry. You're absolutely
right. We're mates now, we're mates.

Please, please!
I don't wanna die! No, please!

Listen to me! Don't mess with me!
We're going to do it!

Not because we've had hard lives, man,

and not because we're
wallowing in self-pity,

but because, honestly,
I need a break from people like you.

Yeah? So we're gonna do this
together. Ready?

No, no, no, no!

Please? Please?!
Actually, you do it!

Agh!

Oh, my God!

Don't take me! Get off me!
Get off me!

Really?! Yeah, cool down.
He's alive, ain't he?

Hurry up, man. We've gotta go.

He pushed me! He pushed me off!

Are you OK, baby?
Yeah, I'm fine, you know?

Legitimately. Thanks for inviting
me, bro, cos I tell you what.

Just look at this place.
I'm just chillin'.

Chillin'? All I can hear is click,
click, click. How's that chillin'?

It's my cube. I've got sun, sea,
sand, and my cube

just helps me chill, man.
I'm zen. I'm zen with it.

Why you gotta harass me about it?
I'm not harassing you.

It's just annoying.

Yo.
Ah, man.

How's life with Anna, Bish?
Hey. It's complicated. Yo!

How does she know about Anna?
I dunno. I haven't said anything.

You talking my business? Know what
I'm thinking of doing tomorrow? What?

Bustin' a little celebration for you.
Why, what's happenin'?

Your birthday. Is it? Don't give me
that "is it", like you don't know

when the old birthday is.
Come on, man. I love ya.Yeah.

- Kayla!
- Wait for us, Kayla!

Come back!

Kayla, you are way too quick for me.
Kayla, come on.

Kayla!
Girls, let her play with you.

Kayla, play nicely.

I'm gonna go play with the kids -
and mind my own business,

like you should be doing.
They are so energetic at this age.

I know. I'm so sorry,
I hope she's not intruding.

Not at all. The girls deserve
some time off from each other.

My name's William, this is my wife.

My name's Ronnie.
Ronnie. Nice to meet you.

Hi, I'm Arjana.
Arjana. Nice to meet you.

Hi.
Hi.

And that's my little Kayla,
the little monster running around.

She's playing with our kids.

He's a little bit too old to be
your son, isn't he?

That man is not my son.
He just acts like a child.

Let's just have one word, right?

If you really wanna be polite,
you then say "baie dankie".

Baie dankie.
Why are people buying donkeys?

Come on.

I'm being serious. What's this all
about? No, it's like "dan-kie".

Baie dankie.Dankie.
Thank you very much.

So why don't they say thank you very
much? Why don't they say that?

Girls... I give up.
..who wants ice cream?!

Megan, I've got food in the cooler
bag. Don't worry.

OK, here are your shoes and
there's money in the bag

for the both of you.
Don't wander too far.

Be careful.

Hi, can I have vanilla?
And can I have the same.

Thanks.

Can you imagine? We actually have
some friends living here

from college. And they've been dying
to take the girls to a safari,

but all they wanna do is
be on their iPads, or watch TV.

We're in exactly the same boat.

How aren't they having a good time,
I don't understand.

They've been gone for a while.
Where did they go for ice cream?

I don't know. We should check now.

Yo. Who are these guys?
Bruv, have you seen the girls?

Where is she?

Kayla knows not to stray too far.
She should be here somewhere.

Kayla!
Megan,

just relax, OK?
I can't see her. I can't see her.

Kayla!

Donna.
Kayla.

Kayla!

Donna. There, look. Donna.

Donna!
Donna, are you OK?

Yeah.
Where's Kayla?

She was just there.
When did you last see her?

There. What? Where is she?
Where's my daughter?!

Kayla! Kayla!

Listen, listen. She can't be more
than 100 yards away.

We just can't see her. I'm gonna
air drop my contact details to you,

let's split up, OK?
Arjana, go with Megan.

William, check out the ice cream van.
We're gonna take the beach, yeah?

Megan, Megan, just breathe, OK?

Kayla!
Kayla!

Have you seen a little girl?
She's wearing like a pink top.

Hi. Hi, guys, how are you?

Have you guys seen a little girl
with a pink top exactly like yours,

and this bag?
No, sorry.

Are you sure? Nothing?

- Look, I found the satchel.
- "Listen very carefully.

We have your daughter.

Go home and wait for us to contact you.

Call the police and you'll never
see your daughter again."

But just -
Hello? Hello?

Oh, God.

Somebody just took my daughter.

OK.

Stay calm. They might be watching.

Come on, guys, you have
to do something.

You know the police here are underpaid.

They're undermotivated.

They can't help that family,
but you can.

What if it was Donna?

...it's not the UK,
it's gonna be different. I know.

I just wanted these girls to have
a holiday.

They've been through enough.

But you're right.

What sort of dad would I be
if I walked away from this one?

Are you saying, are you in?
Yeah, man. Whatever you wanna do.

Let's do it.

Listen, you get the family safe,
I'm gonna meet you at William's.

What are you gonna do?
I don't know. Something.

Hey.
Hey.

I lost my phone.

We don't usually get phones in here,
but I'll check in the -Please, yes.

It's like a pink little thing.
Maybe check like down there.

I can catch you with it.

Isn't that your phone?

Oh, I've found it.
She's found it.

Thank you. Bye.

Can... Can I at least put my number
in it?

Email?

Yo.
There he is.

You guys were great.
Thank you so much. Thank you.

It took skills to get this, you know?

All right, here we go.

There she is, there.
Are you sure?

Yes, that's Kayla.
Megan, just relax. Just breathe.

Hold on, hold on.
Let me wind it back.

She's there. There, there, there.
Yeah, there's Donna.

Look, him.
Yeah, I see him.

Listen, guys, why don't I...

What if I did call the police
and give them this footage.

How would these people even know
I did that?

What did they say
when you spoke to them?

What else do you expect me to do?
They said do not phone the police.

I am trying to help them! What do
you want me to do? Guys, guys.

Look, look, look.
We've got something to tell you.

We are the police.

Yeah, we're supposed to be on holiday.

Oh...

Excuse me.

We need to think about motive.

A person or persons you may have upset.

Let's start with the obvious.
Where do you work?

In a shop. It's highly unlikely
I would upset anybody

selling fuckin' jeans! Megan! Just
breathe! They're trying to help us.

I'm sorry about that.

Yo. Listen, if that's them,
speaker phone. Quiet.

Yeah? Don't answer back,
just breathe.

Stay calm.

"Daddy!"
Kayla.

"She's comfortable. Do what we ask
and she stays that way.

You work at DeKroos. We know.
We know they have a new deposit

of rubies in their vault. Get the
stones, you get your daughter back."

Yeah, but I can't just access -
"You will find a way if you want

to see your daughter again.
You understand?"

Yeah, but I just can't - "Shut up!"

Tomorrow morning we will provide you
with fake rubies to swap out.

That way, no suspicion will be raised.

The DeKroos facility closes at five pm.

If we do not get the stones by then,
we feed your girl to the sharks.

D'you get me?

Tomorrow we'll send you details of
where to leave the rubies.

"Don't try anything funny.
We will kill her."

Sir, listen, don't -

Hello?

Guys, guys.

I'm sorry, I really am.

But we have to move forward, yeah?

What do you do for DeKroos?

I'm a board member.

I oversee the gemmology department,
that's what I do.

So how do you get access to the
vault? I don't have access.

Can you find out how to get access?

Not without looking suspicious.

OK. OK.

So these rubies they're talking
about, how much are they worth?

Four, five million, maybe more.

In rand?
In dollars.

Look, police corruption, extortion,
kidnappings, this is South Africa.

These things don't end well, yeah?

That's why we're gonna get her first.

Yeah.

And trust us,

we'll find her.

Growing up too quick.

Shall I check up on Megan,
see how she's coping?

Uh-uh, nah, nah.

Invite them here... if you have to.
Don't go to their house.

Someone might be watching.

Hey! Don't leave my sight.

Mum, I'm almost 17.

Did I ask how old you are?
Do you want to come back upstairs?

Tsk.

Baby, what's this?
Just a pregnancy test.

Yeah, I know what it is.
I mean, like, why?

I'm late. It's just
a precautionary measure, OK?

Yo.
Yo.

Hey, what's that? Let me have one.
No, no, it's nothing, bruv.

Listen, we've gotta go, man.

William's picking up the fake rubies
from the waterfront now.

But I was gonna get a treatment.
A treatment?

You need counselling, bruv. Hey,
let's go, and put your clothes on.

Any sign of the kidnappers yet?
No, nothing.

Then I guess this is the perfect time
to give you this.

Happy birthday, bro. It's not my
birthday. Yes, it is, bruv. Here.

Make a wish, man.

That's right, you happy?
I'm happy.

What did you wish for? That you'd
stop giving me stupid cupcakes

and pretending it's my birthday.
I love you, man.

Yeah, you too. Thank you.

D'you remember when
you were on the roof?

When you were talking about your mum
leaving you in the post office?

Yeah, that wasn't true, man. I was
just talking him off the ledge.

Bish, why are you lying?
Tactics.

Why are you lying?

C'mon, man, I know it's true.

What I don't understand is why you
never talk about your mum.

I didn't mean it. It was a yarn,
a tall tale. It wasn't real, OK?

Let's drop it.
Why are you shutting me down?

I'm not shutting you down, bruv,
it's cos you're talking nonsense.

Nonsense.

You're my family, all right?
You and your wife and your kids.

I don't want anyone else,
I don't need anyone else.

And you know you shouldn't be
bringing me cupcakes.

Cos you know I'm on an eating plan.

I don't know what you're trying to
do. You're a feeder.

Black bag, yellow bin.

We need to find out
who just dropped them.

The photographer might've seen
something, you know? Listen, come?

Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

Hey, how are you doing?
Morning.

I just wondered if I could get a
picture with you guys? Sure.

Show me how.
Yeah, it's just there.

OK.

How are you doing, guys? Good.
Let's take a picture. Nice and close.

OK. On three. One,

two, three.

What have we got?
Yeah, body.

Yeah, look.

In the bin.

Guy in the blue cap. These criminals
love their primary coloured hats,

don't they?
Is that a thing? Must be.

How do I zoom on this thing?
Here.

What, you're a tech brother now,
yeah? It just says "zoom".

I ain't got my glasses on.

All right.

There we go. That van.

Something... haven Missionary Church.

Hello. Hey, William,
I'm sending you something.

Let us know what it says.

"It's something... haven Missionary
Church."All right.

It says... Klaverhaven.

That's a small missionary town
just outside the city.

That's a bit of slim lead,
don't you think?

Morning, Jonas.

"Yeah, slim lead or not,
that's all we've got to go on.

You just focus on getting yourself
access to that vault."

Yeah, I'm doing it now.

William.

Hey, Jonas.
What are you doing in here?

It's, er, a long way
from the top floor.

It is.

Megan and I's anniversary is coming up,

so I thought why not pop in here,
pick a beautiful stone for her.

Yeah, just trying to get
security clearance.

Nice. Hmph.

How long have you been married?

15 long ones.

Yeah.

That's great. Yeah.

Listen, I did want to pick your
brain about something.

Er, let's get a coffee.

Yeah, coffee's good.
Shall we?

Bro, we don't even know if this
van's gonna be here at this church.

What are we gonna do if he's not?
I don't know. Something.

What are you doing?
I'm just trying to blend in.

Try it.

This ain't Soul Train,
we're looking for someone.

He's got no rhythm.

Put some money in. Sorry. Me put
some money in? You put some money in.

I don't carry cash.
Tsk.

Hey, whoa. Oh, sorry, little man,
I didn't mean to scare you.

You wanted to play with this, yes?
Yeah.

I'm afraid I can't give it to you,
buddy. Please?

No, see, I kinda need this.

And God can't help me but these can.
Can I help?

Welcome to our church.

Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, yeah, actually,

we were looking for this guy.
I wondered if you recognise him?

Please, this is really important.

Maybe we can give you
something in return.Mmm.

Bish.
Oh.

Yeah, here.
No.

I want your shoes.

You want my shoe...

This kid wants my shoes.
I know, I know.

Give them to him.
What? Give him the shoes.

Give him the shoe...

Bruv, I'm to punch up this kid
in a church?

You wanna get arrested for beating up
a boy over trainers? Please, man.

Give him the shoes, man.
Can I just have the shoes?

Bro, I don't care what I have to do,
he ain't getting my shoes.

Bona.

His name is Joseph Ntsimango.
He's a close friend of the church.

What's he done? Tell me.
Honestly, we don't know.

All we know is
that we need to find him right now.

A girl's life could be at stake.

He borrowed our truck a couple of
days ago. I haven't seen him since.

He's not a bad person, he's just...

he's strayed from the Lord lately.

So where do you think Joe might be now?

Listen.
Bro. Hang on.

I didn't give up my trainers
for no reason.

Look, I know this must be hard
for you. We haven't got much time.

We need to know. Now.

Yo, babe, listen. We're heading
to a motel on the west side.

I think we're on to something,
I can feel it.

"How are the girls?" Yeah, they're
here. I can see them playing.

"Good. Keep an eye on them.
Love you."

All right, I'll call you later.
Megan's here. Love you, too.

Hi.

I'm so glad you called.

Thanks so much for inviting me over.
It's OK.

How are you doing?

I haven't slept a wink.

I can't imagine
what you're going through.

I woke up in the night...

and looked over to Kayla's room,
just in case she came home.

I'm so silly. Sorry.
Come here.

Listen.

I just spoke to Ron. He said
they've got a lead to motel

on the west side somewhere,
so that's good. Yeah?

Fingers crossed.
Yeah.

Whoa!
Back up, bro.

Bro, go back.
Tell him.

You go back! Don't go back.
I'm not going back.Good.

It's easier for you to move. You!

Listen, don't go back, bro.
Oh, my God.

It's easier for me to move back
than him.

Obviously, he don't know
how to drive. Look at him.

Why don't you just give up on life
itself?

Hey, that's the van there.

Oh, my God.

Shit.

Any signs Kayla was here, bro?

Here.

She was definitely here, bro.

We're English, all right?

Police. Move and I will shoot you.

We were just leaving.

You're murder suspects.
You're not going anywhere.

This is so fucked, man.

William's about to steal
five million in stones

and we ain't gonna be there.

Yeah, I don't even know how we got
mixed up in all of this.

"Come on holiday, Bish,
it'll be relaxing," you said.

That's what you said to me.
This ain't relaxing, bro.

Hold on. You invited yourself.
How did I invite myself?

You said, "Bishop, we're going on
a family holiday..."

You're in luck, boys.

The cleaner reported the shots
before you arrived.

That doesn't explain
what two English boys

are doing at a murder scene
in a shithole Cape Town motel.

So you care to enlighten me here?
We're just on holiday, man.

Yeah, we're just bumming around,
looking for somewhere cheap to stay.

Really?

No, you're right. We're actually
looking for the Hilton,

but service and GPS mapping is
just terrible here.

I don't even know how you live in
this country.

Looking for the Hilton? Yeah. Looks
like you're in the wrong place.

Clearly.

You're the joker, right?

Clown to this straight married guy?

Hmm.

It's you.

I thought... Bro, it's him.

You won the Perception Olympics
in 2020. I was there. Great event.

You were fantastic. I bet you're
a whizz at Sudokus, man.

No?

Five.

Guys,

where are you? It's almost time.

"You heard what they said on the
phone. They'll kill her."

I'm going in to the vault,
I've got the fake rubies with me.

Please, call me.

Can you open the window or
something, this is affecting me.

Are you trying to kill us
before we get to prison?

What's going on? What are you even
vaping? Leopard shit?

Sorry, boys, it's apple, but I'm
trying to quit the darn thing.

So, did you guys
know the deceased before?

Oh, then I guess he'll just be
another statistic, eh?

These kids get themselves into -
Pull over the fuckin' car.

Hey?

Yo.

You should know by now, even in
chains you can't stop our people.

Ah, come on. Seriously?

Really? Come on, man.
We cut you some slack,

how about you cut us some?
I can only apologise, man,

but when it comes to kids
he doesn't mess around.

It's a shame, cos I think
you guys are decent guys,

especially you. Wakanda forever.

We've got shit to do, bro.
I saw that movie twice, by the way.

Yeah, course you did.
That's what they all say. Go, P.

Oh, seriously!

William, I'm here.

Listen to me. You're gonna have to go
through with the swap, all right?

Don't worry about it. I'll be in the
building if you need me, yeah?

"OK, thank you."
All right.

Bro.
Yeah.

Scope the area, see if there's any
sign of Kayla and the kidnappers.

All right, man. In a bit, later.

Sir.
Good day.

I need to certify some rubies before
they're shipped off to Zurich.

I'm afraid it's rather urgent.

Right.

Sir, that requires...
Electronic recognition.

Exactly.

Um, your thumbprint here, please, sir.

Sure.

It seems to be rejecting you, sir.

Er, that's OK. I'll try again.

OK.

Thumbprint again, sir.

Ah, there you are, sir. If you'll
please follow my colleague.

Yeah...

Yo, P, I got 'em.

It's the same black van that blocked
us in at the motel.

Yeah, the same one.

All right.

Thank you.

Right, sir, your thumbprint again,
please.

And there we are.

Box 2507.

Thank you.

Nobody's allowed in the vaults
alone, I'm afraid. Just procedure.

Sorry, sir, an alarm's been triggered.

We have to evacuate the vaults
immediately. Is everything OK?

Should be fine.
We just need to get out of here.

Quickly now, please.

Yo.

Which one of you hit me? Cos whoever
it was -Who are you?!

What do you mean, who am I?
I know you're watching us.

I wasn't watching you.
Are you police?!

No, what part of me -Don't lie to
me! But I'm not lying to you.

I was waitin' for my Uber to take me
to Boulders Beach

to see the penguins.
I didn't know they liked sand.

Who knew penguins liked sand?
I didn't!

Oh, er, it might be my husband.

"Yo, Bish, William's got the rubies.
We're heading to the exchange point

right now. Are you ready for the
switch, yeah?"

I don't think that's my phone.

Oi.Daddy.Stones first,
then you get your girl back.

How old are you, man?
Does it matter?

Just asking.
What? Huh?!

I'll shoot you, old man!

Respect your elders, you little bitch.

Get in!

Go, go, go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Drop your weapon!
Hey, hey, hey.

Drop your weapon.
Surrender yourself!

Drop your weapon!
Hey, relax, relax. Relax.

Put it on the ground.
Putting it down. OK? Putting it down.

Put your hands on your head.
Turn around!

A load of guys in here are really
gonna like you two.

Listen, we're British police, and
we're looking for that missing girl.

I think we might be in a bit of
trouble here, you know?

London Man here, don't play with us.

I'm not sure if I'm ready
for another child.

You should be looking for my daughter!

This is Officer Dewald. I require
urgent assistance at Red Hill.

Tell me where the missing girl is.

Throw!
