Reyka (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
Forensics confirm
the arm was ripped,
not cut off the body.
They argue, it escalates,
he assaults, it's fatal,
he dumps the body in the cane.
I was at the field today,
when the wind picked
up and blew across me
the cane smells
like rotting fruit,
there's something
else out there.
We need dogs.
-Let's go.
Have you
thought about me?
What do you want?
Dr. Gama,
the record shows that you
were Speelman's only victim.
There were two of
us on the property.
Two girls?
Lucy arrived after me.
Lucy?
Lucy who?
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday dear Reyka ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Hip hip hooray ♪
♪ Hip hip hooray ♪
Make a wish, Reyka.
Go on, big breath.
I thought we spoke about this?
We did and I'm sorry.
I hope so.
What do
you want me to do?
Beat her.
Now?
Uh-huh, you owe me.
Please don't be
cross with me, daddy.
Oh, do you
like music, huh, Lucy?
Lucy?
Lucy!
Go get her.
No, I'm done.
Portia, do you
wanna stay, Portia?
Portia!
Portia!
Reyka, my love?
I know you're awake.
Angus?
I wanna call mum.
Why?
She always wishes me happy
birthday, please, Angus.
I won't be long, I just
wanna tell her I'm okay.
Rekya, your mothers
not looking for you,
she doesn't want you.
Everything out there
is a threat to us.
You don't understand our love.
Ma, can I call you back?
School called, the
principle wants to meet you.
Why?
She didn't say, do
you want me to be there?
No, thank you, mum.
This is a crime scene.
Gama?
Where are you from?
I was born in Durban.
When?
Oh, my fathers Coloured
and my mothers Afrikaans.
Hey, [speaking in
foreign language].
The cadavers are untouched,
no body parts are removed.
Ah, she's not a suspect.
What could
be the motive?
I think this
locations important,
the killer feels safe here.
So you're saying one person
that killed my niece,
killed these six people?
I am saying one person
killed these six, yes.
But there's a very good chance
that your niece is not
related to these crimes.
This land is about to be
given back to my people.
This is much bigger
than the six bodies.
You know, what I was thinking,
[speaking in foreign language],
this could be the
work of Inkabi.
Hit men?
Boss, it's too early
to build a profile.
Inkabi dump bodies here.
There are many bones
in these fields.
We still need to process the
scene, examine the bodies,
there may be links
to the victims hands.
Inkabi is a good theory.
Come around.
Reel in your informers,
I want to know what the
fuck is going on here.
Thank you, Mrs. Parkinson.
Okay, bye bye.
Ah, Mrs. Gama, please come in.
Please, take a seat.
Your husband not joining us?
No.
Oh, well I'll come
right to the point.
I realise Thuli is
new to Dolphin Bay.
She's very happy here.
Truth is,
I'm a little concerned about
her friendship with Jess.
Who?
Jessica Tyrone,
she's a grade older.
You'd of seen them
together in Sketch.
Of course, yes, loved it.
At this age, obsessive
intimacy between girls is,
well it's unhealthy, being
territorial leads to jealousy
and bullying on social media.
Right?
It's not
unusual for best friends
to have strong feelings
for each other.
I don't mind Thuli having
a little crush on a friend,
it seems pretty healthy to me.
We thought you should know.
Got it, thank you.
Also, this untidy hair,
we would ask for your
cooperation in the future.
We advise Thuli to tie
it back, make it neat,
it is school policy now.
For kids of colour?
No, Mrs. Gama.
I'm not married.
For all the kids at this
school with lose curls.
Thank you.
Mr. Bloom?
I can't speak to
you now, Dr. Gama.
You're a parent here?
I am.
Did you tell Angus Speelman
that I have a daughter?
I beg your pardon?
Did you tell him her name?
No.
Well he knows it, I
could have you disbarred,
she's only a child!
Take your hands off me.
What's happening?
Oh, it's nothing.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Trouble with the ID numbers,
some sort of smudges.
Hey, Nick.
Thuls, Doc.
She doesn't like
being called that.
Oh, thanks
for the heads up.
So, when you
gonna ask her out?
Thuli, I can hear
you, stop that.
Can I hang with Nick?
No, he's busy.
No, no, it's totally cool.
That's okay, come babe.
It's fine, ma.
You sure?
Yes, yes.
So, what are we doing today?
Gun range.
Again?
Yeah.
Do we need to
be worried about you?
Maybe!
Yes, that's what
I'm going to do.
Okay great, we'll sort
it out, thank you, bye.
Migsana's breathing
down my neck,
the administer wants a
report by the end of day.
This is not witchcraft and
it's not an Inkabi dump site.
I like
the Inkabi theory.
No, bodies were not
dumped there randomly,
victims were brought there and
killed in a premeditated way.
The site means something
special to the killer,
he feels safe there.
If he takes them all
to the same place,
he's most recent victims
would've seen the other bodies
just before death.
He shows them off like trophies.
Why?
To frighten them.
He's no ordinary hit man,
this is guy that gets
off on his victims fear.
The only people I know
that operate this way
are serial killers.
Either way, the Inkabi gets
us far away from witchcraft.
Which is where you wanna be.
Yes.
With all due respect,
you're protecting the
interest of stakeholders
above everything else.
Don't you want what's
best for our community?
I don't care about the
land deal like you do,
your agenda is far
more complex than mine.
I speak for the
victim and that's it.
All possible lines
of inquiry are open.
I even have an informer checking
out the Tyrone's estate.
I doubt the
Tyrone's are involved.
But some staff might
know something.
I want you to present
the Inkabi theory to HQ,
it might have more
weight coming from you.
You want me to lie to the
provincial commissioner?
I'm not asking you to lie,
present a theory
like you believe it.
I don't believe the theory,
it doesn't make sense!
Speelman's or Tony Bloom?
The guy you assaulted
at the school car park.
Assaulted?
Did you touch him?
He's threatened to
file a complaint
if you don't apologise to him.
You know what happens if
you're found guilty of assault.
Seriously?
Yes, sir.
Thuli?
I'm dropping you off at
home, Nina's got you.
Okay, thanks Nick.
Anytime.
Thanks.
Thanks.
You know, Nick's single.
Good for him.
He thinks you're flirty.
Come on.
That's what he said.
Well, he's not my type.
All right,
let's go with that.
Morning, ma.
Hi.
Don't forget to eat.
Thanks.
In '98, when I returned home,
I told you about a girl.
Lucy?
Do you remember what I said?
You said she
was at the farmhouse.
Did you believe me?
Your mind was very
disturbed when you returned.
Was it?
The doctors said you will have
delusions, it was expected.
But you believed me?
Of course.
Then why didn't we
do anything about it?
What do you mean?
I did everything I could.
I'm not accusing you, ma.
We spoke to the police,
they said they'd done a
forensic sweep of the house
and found DNA samples
of only three people.
It came up at Speelman's trial
but your testimony
was thrown out.
"There are things
I could tell you,
things you've forgotten, things
I know you want to hear."
That's what Angus
has said to me.
You can't trust him.
He's ready to tell
me about Lucy, ma.
He's a ghost, Reyka,
don't let him haunt you.
It's fine.
Mrs. Gama?
Dr. Gama.
Yes, General?
Update the team please.
Erm, field eight
eight, Tyrone estate,
on the border of the
Msomi chieftaincy,
dog unit found a dump
site, six deceased,
decomposed, no ID's.
You've
questioned the Tyrone's?
They're not persons of interest.
Why not?
They have motive, to scare
the Msomi off their land.
Well the family are
shaken up by this
but we don't believe they
have anything to do with it.
Hector's requested a
warrant to raid the hostels,
he believes they're
Inkabi strongholds.
That's correct, he does.
You're
with him on this?
Ma'am?
Hit men, a dumpsite,
that's your theory too.
That's a credible theory.
I'll bite, gotta back the person
who solved the Blue
Lagoon killer case, right?
We're in safe hands.
I knew your father.
Dr. Gama's late father, radio
broadcaster and activist,
Vincent Gama.
How old were you?
Excuse me?
How old were you?
Seven.
Dark time.
You married?
General.
Husband?
No.
Children?
Yes, ma'am, a daughter.
Is she
proud of her mum?
I bet she is.
You don't think
that we are looking
for a serial killer
here, do you?
That's not a theory we're
currently working with.
No profile links?
Only the location.
Psychological patterns?
Too early to tell.
Are the deceased female?
The bodies have only just
arrived at the mortuary.
The residents of Blue
Lagoon can sleep in peace
because of you, Dr. Gama.
Thank you.
Minister Matlala as been
informed of your success.
He has?
I'll be sure to
put in a good word for Hector
with the prosecutor.
You can go now, thank you.
Thank you.
Morning.
Hi.
Rekya.
Plot twist, big
date, Saturday night.
Nah.
Oh yeah.
She wouldn't.
But she is, brother.
Okay, okay.
Detective Cele?
We have a suspect in
custody, Suresh Pillay,
he's the last person seen
with our first victim,
gave her a lift
near the cane field.
Claims he collects soil samples.
Sample is being
tested at the lab, sir.
Could we fast
track that, it's his alibi.
You know, my aunt knows
Pillay from the temple,
says he's a good guy,
community leader.
Why would a middle-aged
man kill all these woman?
The community wants to know
we have someone in custody.
Let's move on to
the Inkabi theory.
High profile, local hit men.
According to intelligence,
Cedrick Kukubane, Jandecy
brothers, Cebon Ecante,
Duma Zuluchimloo and Maglingwel,
all residents of the
Manhattan Hostel.
Guys, Inkabi kill men,
political or taxi rivals,
our victims are all women.
Not so fast.
The Lova family from
hired Dulena Tonga
to kill the owner of
Ivastafa Book Club,
Ivy Hedebe was a woman, genders
not relevant to an assassin.
I'm sorry, Detective Zuwana,
but gender is very
relevant to our killer.
Serial murderers
seldom target men.
You're speculating.
The Inkabi kill
for financial gain,
our suspects methods
are predatory.
Psycho-sexual.
I agree with Reyka,
women are the target.
This case has been
escalated to high priority,
it's on the ministers radar.
Our objective is to bring in
any of the men on that board.
♪ You run through ♪
Victims one to five
are decomposed beyond
identification.
The climate in the cane
fields have destroyed
any possibility of
good DNA evidence.
The sixth is in active
decay but I need more time
to examine it properly.
♪ Follow the wind ♪
♪ Follow the wind ♪
And the hands?
Well decompositions made
it impossible to test
but impressions from some
kind of twine or fine fabric
have left structured markings.
So far, there's only one
thing we know for a fact,
they're all female.
♪ Follow the wind ♪
♪ Follow the wind ♪
No one is going to do
anything unless I say so.
Hmm?
We must be very careful!
For Inkabi
to get around,
surely he'd need a cane cutter.
Partners?
Maybe the Inkabi
is a cane cutter.
One man, two jobs.
Side hustle?
Moonlights as a cane cutter
to avoid being exposed
as an assassin?
I dunno, I'm just tryna
make the Inkabi theory fit,
I mean, Inkabi are cold-blooded,
who else would've killed these
women in such a brutal way?
As that's what we're
gonna find out.
Okay, I'll take the Inkabi
photos to the cane cutters,
see if they recognise
any of them, yeah?
Good plan, take Zuwana.
Okay, ace, let's go.
And grab the photos.
I heard about the cane fields.
Six women.
Serial killer.
Hector thinks it's
an Inkabi dump site.
A hit man?
I dunno, they don't target
women, it doesn't make sense.
How were they killed?
Awaiting the autopsy results.
How were the bodies
positioned in the field?
Angus.
Were they
in the a circle?
No.
Not a ceremonial killing
then, just random placement?
Yes.
You don't wanna talk
about it, I respect that.
On their stomachs.
Tied up?
I dunno.
Inspect their hands and feet,
the key to your case is there.
"There are things
I could tell you,
things you've forgotten, things
I know you want to hear."
What things?
Did I say that?
Yes.
Will you retract your statement?
Well why should I?
So that I can get out,
maybe we can be together.
If you tell me about Lucy,
I'll give you your freedom.
What?
Lucy!
Oh, Reyka, my love.
I know there was another
girl on the property, Angus,
I heard her, I saw her.
Where?
In the window of the shed.
Uh-huh, you said
that at my trial.
Am I wrong?
Am I deluded?
You were jealous.
I was not!
You were jealous, you
were jealous of Portia,
you were jealous of Lucy.
You have to admit it,
you need to disclose what
you did with the body.
How do you know she's dead?
Is she?
No.
No?
No, no deal.
If I speak on the
record about Lucy,
the police'll charge
me for that crime,
I'll end up straight
back in here.
So I'm right about her?
The night before my 13th
birthday, she was there,
I heard her voice,
she said "Mummy."
I'll tell ya everything
when I have a signed
affidavit from ya.
Everything?
Even the things
you don't remember.
What don't I remember?
If you retract your statement,
I'll tell you privately
where Lucy's buried
so I'm never held accountable
for what happened to her.
I found a spider
inside the body cavity,
victims been dead for
less than a month,
cause of death, strangulation.
But there's something else.
Hands and feet?
How did you know?
There's a link between
Mbali Msomi and this victim?
Both were bound.
With what?
We're
about to find out.
We've got a link,
between Mbali Msomi and
one new deceased, knots.
Both were bound?
Hands and feet.
With what?
Unconfirmed, some kind
of twine, rust coloured,
nylon, plastic.
Where are you going?
Manhattan building.
10, 20.
New evidence has
shifted our case,
Suresh Pillay has been released,
The Inkabi theory
has got traction
and we have approval
to raid Manhattan.
There's a group of Inkabi
from the Inkulu Clan
who live in block A.
Knots found on our cane field
victims match their methods.
I want Inkari in
the box by tonight.
Running send point
on the op, Tanner?
T-O-T's meeting our
team outside in 10,
grab your gear, let's go.
Our goal is to round
up Inkulu Clan hit men,
you have their
ID's, focus on them.
Fire power, provisional
weapons, hand guns,
no semi-automatics, no missiles.
Is that all?
Paint targets, 20 tops.
Okay, let's go!
Are you sure you're up to this?
Are you?
Reyka?
You're not required
for this op, stay put.
Bravo team in position.
Copy, Alpha team in position.
Wait.
Copy.
Alpha team, one casualty.
We're pinned down,
taking heavy fire.
One man down,
shooters on the
first floor balcony.
Okay, hold
position, we're headed up.
Cover!
Shooters on
the east block neutralised,
two shooters remain, west block.
Sam!
Sam?
Reyka.
Boss.
Do you
have a death wish?
I just wanna show you.
Wake the fuck up, you
disobey orders, people die.
Stop moving!
Hey?
Five, six, seven, eight.
Hi.
Hey.
Homework?
Done.
Thanks Nina, you're a champ.
See you, guys.
You okay?
Yep.
Good day?
What, what happened?
Work.
You work too hard, ma.
Yeah, erm, it's late.
I'm told you call
yourself Macingwane?
Answer her.
If you are Macingwane, I'm
guessing your surname is Tnunu?
What is your name and surname
as it appears on
your ID document?
Name and surname, sir?
John Paul Tnunu.
Are you Inkabi?
Who do you work for?
Self-employed.
What're your skills?
Like painting,
plumbing, grouting,
[speaking in foreign language].
We found illegal AK-47's,
handguns, knives, shanks,
traditional blades.
12 items in total, that's
a serious weapons charge.
You can't prove
that those are mine.
They were found
in the wall of your room.
Ask him what he uses twine for.
Twine, what do you
use it for, sir?
I told you, those are not mine.
Do you work
in the cane fields?
Abandonde work the fields.
What about
the Msomi chieftaincy?
Oh, please never go there.
Never?
He's not my family, [speaking
in foreign language].
I am not Msomi, [speaking
in foreign language].
What about Mbali Msomi,
the chiefs niece?
Do you play soccer?
Yes, I do.
Which team?
KwaDungezwa FC.
The Msomi chieftaincy
sponsor that team.
Tail him, take Zuwane.
Yeah.
Hello?
Okay.
Yeah.
Sure, all right.
John!
the arm was ripped,
not cut off the body.
They argue, it escalates,
he assaults, it's fatal,
he dumps the body in the cane.
I was at the field today,
when the wind picked
up and blew across me
the cane smells
like rotting fruit,
there's something
else out there.
We need dogs.
-Let's go.
Have you
thought about me?
What do you want?
Dr. Gama,
the record shows that you
were Speelman's only victim.
There were two of
us on the property.
Two girls?
Lucy arrived after me.
Lucy?
Lucy who?
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday dear Reyka ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Hip hip hooray ♪
♪ Hip hip hooray ♪
Make a wish, Reyka.
Go on, big breath.
I thought we spoke about this?
We did and I'm sorry.
I hope so.
What do
you want me to do?
Beat her.
Now?
Uh-huh, you owe me.
Please don't be
cross with me, daddy.
Oh, do you
like music, huh, Lucy?
Lucy?
Lucy!
Go get her.
No, I'm done.
Portia, do you
wanna stay, Portia?
Portia!
Portia!
Reyka, my love?
I know you're awake.
Angus?
I wanna call mum.
Why?
She always wishes me happy
birthday, please, Angus.
I won't be long, I just
wanna tell her I'm okay.
Rekya, your mothers
not looking for you,
she doesn't want you.
Everything out there
is a threat to us.
You don't understand our love.
Ma, can I call you back?
School called, the
principle wants to meet you.
Why?
She didn't say, do
you want me to be there?
No, thank you, mum.
This is a crime scene.
Gama?
Where are you from?
I was born in Durban.
When?
Oh, my fathers Coloured
and my mothers Afrikaans.
Hey, [speaking in

The cadavers are untouched,
no body parts are removed.

killed these six people?
I am saying one person

But there's a very good chance
that your niece is not
related to these crimes.
This land is about to be
given back to my people.
This is much bigger
than the six bodies.
You know, what I was thinking,
[speaking in foreign language],
this could be the
work of Inkabi.
Hit men?
Boss, it's too early

Did you tell Angus Speelman

I beg your pardon?
Did you tell him her name?
No.
Well he knows it, I
could have you disbarred,
she's only a child!
Take your hands off me.
What's happening?
Oh, it's nothing.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Trouble with the ID numbers,
some sort of smudges.
Hey, Nick.
Thuls, Doc.
She doesn't like
being called that.
Oh, thanks
for the heads up.
So, when you
gonna ask her out?
Thuli, I can hear
you, stop that.
Can I hang with Nick?
No, he's busy.
No, no, it's totally cool.
That's okay, come babe.
It's fine, ma.
You sure?
Yes, yes.
So, what are we doing today?
Gun range.

Do we need to

Okay, thanks Nick.

He thinks you're flirty.
Come on.

but your testimony
was thrown out.
"There are things
I could tell you,
things you've forgotten, things
I know you want to hear."
That's what Angus
has said to me.
You can't trust him.
He's ready to tell
me about Lucy, ma.
He's a ghost, Reyka,
don't let him haunt you.
It's fine.
Mrs. Gama?
Dr. Gama.
Yes, General?
Update the team please.
Erm, field eight
eight, Tyrone estate,
on the border of the
Msomi chieftaincy,
dog unit found a dump
site, six deceased,
decomposed, no ID's.
You've
questioned the Tyrone's?
They're not persons of interest.
Why not?
They have motive, to scare
the Msomi off their land.
Well the family are
shaken up by this
but we don't believe they
have anything to do with it.
Hector's requested a
warrant to raid the hostels,
he believes they're
Inkabi strongholds.
That's correct, he does.
You're
with him on this?
Ma'am?
Hit men, a dumpsite,
that's your theory too.
That's a credible theory.
I'll bite, gotta back the person
who solved the Blue
Lagoon killer case, right?
We're in safe hands.
I knew your father.
Dr. Gama's late father, radio
broadcaster and activist,
Vincent Gama.
How old were you?
Excuse me?
How old were you?
Seven.
Dark time.
You married?
General.
Husband?
No.
Children?
Yes, ma'am, a daughter.
Is she
proud of her mum?
I bet she is.
You don't think
that we are looking
for a serial killer
here, do you?
That's not a theory we're
currently working with.
No profile links?
Only the location.
Psychological patterns?
Too early to tell.
Are the deceased female?
The bodies have only just
arrived at the mortuary.
The residents of Blue
Lagoon can sleep in peace
because of you, Dr. Gama.
Thank you.
Minister Matlala as been
informed of your success.
He has?
I'll be sure to
put in a good word for Hector
with the prosecutor.
You can go now, thank you.
Thank you.
Morning.
Hi.
Rekya.
Plot twist, big
date, Saturday night.
Nah.
Oh yeah.
She wouldn't.
But she is, brother.
Okay, okay.
Detective Cele?
We have a suspect in
custody, Suresh Pillay,
he's the last person seen
with our first victim,
gave her a lift
near the cane field.
Claims he collects soil samples.
Sample is being
tested at the lab, sir.
Could we fast
track that, it's his alibi.
You know, my aunt knows
Pillay from the temple,
says he's a good guy,
community leader.
Why would a middle-aged
man kill all these woman?
The community wants to know
we have someone in custody.
Let's move on to
the Inkabi theory.
High profile, local hit men.
According to intelligence,
Cedrick Kukubane, Jandecy
brothers, Cebon Ecante,
Duma Zuluchimloo and Maglingwel,
all residents of the
Manhattan Hostel.
Guys, Inkabi kill men,
political or taxi rivals,
our victims are all women.
Not so fast.
The Lova family from
hired Dulena Tonga
to kill the owner of
Ivastafa Book Club,
Ivy Hedebe was a woman, genders
not relevant to an assassin.
I'm sorry, Detective Zuwana,
but gender is very
relevant to our killer.
Serial murderers
seldom target men.
You're speculating.
The Inkabi kill
for financial gain,
our suspects methods
are predatory.
Psycho-sexual.
I agree with Reyka,
women are the target.
This case has been
escalated to high priority,
it's on the ministers radar.
Our objective is to bring in
any of the men on that board.
♪ You run through ♪
Victims one to five
are decomposed beyond
identification.
The climate in the cane
fields have destroyed
any possibility of
good DNA evidence.
The sixth is in active
decay but I need more time
to examine it properly.
♪ Follow the wind ♪
♪ Follow the wind ♪
And the hands?
Well decompositions made
it impossible to test
but impressions from some
kind of twine or fine fabric
have left structured markings.
So far, there's only one
thing we know for a fact,
they're all female.
♪ Follow the wind ♪
♪ Follow the wind ♪
No one is going to do
anything unless I say so.
Hmm?
We must be very careful!
For Inkabi
to get around,
surely he'd need a cane cutter.
Partners?
Maybe the Inkabi
is a cane cutter.
One man, two jobs.
Side hustle?
Moonlights as a cane cutter
to avoid being exposed
as an assassin?
I dunno, I'm just tryna
make the Inkabi theory fit,
I mean, Inkabi are cold-blooded,
who else would've killed these
women in such a brutal way?
As that's what we're
gonna find out.
Okay, I'll take the Inkabi
photos to the cane cutters,
see if they recognise
any of them, yeah?
Good plan, take Zuwana.
Okay, ace, let's go.
And grab the photos.
I heard about the cane fields.
Six women.
Serial killer.
Hector thinks it's
an Inkabi dump site.
A hit man?
I dunno, they don't target
women, it doesn't make sense.
How were they killed?
Awaiting the autopsy results.
How were the bodies
positioned in the field?
Angus.
Were they
in the a circle?
No.
Not a ceremonial killing
then, just random placement?
Yes.
You don't wanna talk
about it, I respect that.
On their stomachs.
Tied up?
I dunno.
Inspect their hands and feet,
the key to your case is there.
"There are things
I could tell you,
things you've forgotten, things
I know you want to hear."
What things?
Did I say that?
Yes.
Will you retract your statement?
Well why should I?
So that I can get out,
maybe we can be together.
If you tell me about Lucy,
I'll give you your freedom.
What?
Lucy!
Oh, Reyka, my love.
I know there was another
girl on the property, Angus,
I heard her, I saw her.
Where?
In the window of the shed.
Uh-huh, you said
that at my trial.
Am I wrong?
Am I deluded?
You were jealous.
I was not!
You were jealous, you
were jealous of Portia,
you were jealous of Lucy.
You have to admit it,
you need to disclose what
you did with the body.
How do you know she's dead?
Is she?
No.
No?
No, no deal.
If I speak on the
record about Lucy,
the police'll charge
me for that crime,
I'll end up straight
back in here.
So I'm right about her?
The night before my 13th
birthday, she was there,
I heard her voice,
she said "Mummy."
I'll tell ya everything
when I have a signed
affidavit from ya.
Everything?
Even the things
you don't remember.
What don't I remember?
If you retract your statement,
I'll tell you privately
where Lucy's buried
so I'm never held accountable
for what happened to her.
I found a spider
inside the body cavity,
victims been dead for
less than a month,
cause of death, strangulation.
But there's something else.
Hands and feet?
How did you know?
There's a link between
Mbali Msomi and this victim?
Both were bound.
With what?
We're
about to find out.
We've got a link,
between Mbali Msomi and
one new deceased, knots.
Both were bound?
Hands and feet.
With what?
Unconfirmed, some kind
of twine, rust coloured,
nylon, plastic.
Where are you going?
Manhattan building.
10, 20.
New evidence has
shifted our case,
Suresh Pillay has been released,
The Inkabi theory
has got traction
and we have approval
to raid Manhattan.
There's a group of Inkabi
from the Inkulu Clan
who live in block A.
Knots found on our cane field
victims match their methods.
I want Inkari in
the box by tonight.
Running send point
on the op, Tanner?
T-O-T's meeting our
team outside in 10,
grab your gear, let's go.
Our goal is to round
up Inkulu Clan hit men,
you have their
ID's, focus on them.
Fire power, provisional
weapons, hand guns,
no semi-automatics, no missiles.
Is that all?
Paint targets, 20 tops.
Okay, let's go!
Are you sure you're up to this?
Are you?
Reyka?
You're not required
for this op, stay put.
Bravo team in position.
Copy, Alpha team in position.
Wait.
Copy.
Alpha team, one casualty.
We're pinned down,
taking heavy fire.
One man down,
shooters on the
first floor balcony.
Okay, hold
position, we're headed up.
Cover!
Shooters on
the east block neutralised,
two shooters remain, west block.
Sam!
Sam?
Reyka.
Boss.
Do you
have a death wish?
I just wanna show you.
Wake the fuck up, you
disobey orders, people die.
Stop moving!
Hey?
Five, six, seven, eight.
Hi.
Hey.
Homework?
Done.
Thanks Nina, you're a champ.
See you, guys.
You okay?
Yep.
Good day?
What, what happened?
Work.
You work too hard, ma.
Yeah, erm, it's late.
I'm told you call
yourself Macingwane?
Answer her.
If you are Macingwane, I'm
guessing your surname is Tnunu?
What is your name and surname
as it appears on
your ID document?
Name and surname, sir?
John Paul Tnunu.
Are you Inkabi?
Who do you work for?
Self-employed.
What're your skills?
Like painting,
plumbing, grouting,
[speaking in foreign language].
We found illegal AK-47's,
handguns, knives, shanks,
traditional blades.
12 items in total, that's
a serious weapons charge.
You can't prove
that those are mine.
They were found
in the wall of your room.
Ask him what he uses twine for.
Twine, what do you
use it for, sir?
I told you, those are not mine.
Do you work
in the cane fields?
Abandonde work the fields.
What about
the Msomi chieftaincy?
Oh, please never go there.
Never?
He's not my family, [speaking
in foreign language].
I am not Msomi, [speaking
in foreign language].
What about Mbali Msomi,
the chiefs niece?
Do you play soccer?
Yes, I do.
Which team?
KwaDungezwa FC.
The Msomi chieftaincy
sponsor that team.
Tail him, take Zuwane.
Yeah.
Hello?
Okay.
Yeah.
Sure, all right.
John!
