[Leonard] All right, everybody, let's sing for our birthday girl.
Three, two, one...
[Leonard and Nandi singing] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday, dear ZeeZee ♪
[pounding on door]
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[Brenda] Leonard!
[in Zulu] Why don't you answer your phone, you swine?
[in English] It's my daughter's birthday. Do you mind?
[in Zulu] What's wrong?
[crying] Benjamin Jiba killed himself this morning.
[Nandi in English] Oh no. It's okay.
It's all over the news, guys. [in Xhosa] Benjamin has killed himself.
Hey, baby, calm down. It's okay. Come, let's go...
[in English] No. You stay with Zee. I've got this, okay?
Okay.
- [Leonard] It's okay. It's okay. - It's okay.
[dramatic music playing]
[briefcase latches clicking]
[Nandi] What s it to do with Jacob?
[Vuyo] It's got everything to do with Jacob!
Jacob is after you and your family because Leonard prosecuted his father.
[Jacob] My father killed himself. [in Xhosa] He was facing charges.
[Vuyo in English] He's using his mother's surname.
[Nandi] There could be millions of Jacob Taus. It's a name.
[Vuyo] Come on. This is real.
- [Nandi] What if you're wrong? - [Vuyo] What if I'm right?
[Leonard] Oh, you know each other?
[man] Hey, Dino! [whistles]
Wait, brother. Wait!
[keypad clicking]
Oops.
- Oh. - Uh...
[both chuckle]
- Sorry. - Thanks. [chuckles]
You good?
Uh, yeah, I just have forensics class 10:00 to 12:00. It's gonna be brutal.
Zee. Zee.
Can we... Can we talk... about last night?
[sighs]
Laura, look...
I panicked, okay?
I mean, I think you're amazing.
But...?
We're best friends. What if it doesn't work out?
What if it does?
I just... I think I'd rather have you as a friend than...
Fuck me.
[scoffs] Okay, you're a little bit extra, so there's that.
[laughs]
- Look, I understand. - [phone buzzes, dings]
- Uh, my only thing is... - Sorry, wait.
[keypad clicking]
[phone buzzes, dings]
[Nandi] Let's talk about cyber grooming.
This is when predators use coercion, induction,
seduction, and deceit
in order to establish a connection with their victims through technology.
[phone buzzes]
[Nandi] Predators can also create fake profiles.
Coercion means forcing a person to...
[upbeat music playing]
Family drinks for free, right?
[inhales, clears throat]
[Leonard chuckles]
- [in Tswana] What is it? - Are you sick or something?
[chuckles]
We all know places like this don't suit the Judge Leonards of the world.
[Leonard tuts]
You're so dramatic, Vuyo.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[in English] Let me tell you something.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with family.
Mm-hmm.
In fact...
[in Tswana] Nandi and I are going away for six months.
[in English] We're gonna try for another baby.
Yeah.
Is, uh, Nandi aware of this?
I can convince her.
[chuckles]
[in Tswana] Nandi doesn't want another baby.
So you're an expert on my woman now?
[in English] I don't need to be an expert
other than the fact that the miscarriage fucked her up.
The only way you can convince her to have another kid
is if you swap out the birth control or something.
That was a joke.
[Nandi] That's all for today.
Remember to submit your assignments by Friday, please.
[students chattering indistinctly]
I need space.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jacob sighs]
Fuck!
[sighs angrily]
[in Tswana] What is it? [in English] You going somewhere?
Yeah, I'm meeting up with Charlie. He's got some stuff for me.
[in Tswana] Is it about Brenda, or is it something else?
Hmm?
Yeah, it's about Brenda.
[in English] I thought that case was closed.
It is.
- Hmm. - [Vuyo] Tshoki!
[in Zulu] Get my brother something to eat.
I think he's hungry!
He has money. [in English] Make sure he pays full price.
[laughs]
You're full of shit.
Listen, travel with us.
Stop all of this investigating nonsense that you're busy with
and spend time with your family. Think how amazing that would be.
You and me. Two brothers, hmm?
From growing up in this shithole
to becoming citizens of the world.
[in Tswana] You know what, my boy?
[in English] I love... this shithole.
[in Tswana] Just like Granny did.
[Leonard sighs]
[Laura speaking indistinctly]
This is Rajesh.
Okay.
He can help you find PokébOi. If you want.
He's the top student in project-based high performance distributed
and parallel systems 101.
- [chuckles shyly] - So, how does this work?
GPS. Give him the cell number.
If they're on a network, they're toast.
Uh, thanks.
[dramatic music playing]
Um, I hope you guys don't have any plans, eh?
'Cause this could take a while.
A while?
Yeah, so the phone has to be switched on for us to track it, right?
And in my experience,
stalkers usually have burner phones which they keep off, so...
Who said PokébOi is a stalker?
[laughs incredulously]
You know what? [scoffs]
It's cool, guys.
I am gonna dip. Um...
[sighs] Fine! You think PokébOi is God's gift.
I think they're a stalker.
Don't you wanna know who PokébOi actually is?
[Rajesh] Yep, phone switched off.
[Laura scoffs]
[Rajesh] I'm... I'm setting it up to ping you when they switch on their phone.
Where's Roxanne?
I told her to take an early lunch so you and I can talk properly.
You playing DVD Jenga?
[chuckles]
You asked for the surveillance footage of Brenda's place.
It's 48 hours, each on a separate DVD.
- You're kidding. Why not digital? - They never bothered to upgrade.
I'd be careful with how you handle them. They're not labeled.
Keep the stack in order if you wanna make sense of anything.
This just keeps getting better and better.
I'm just glad it was suicide. So it's not my problem.
I'll give them to you once you tell me what's really going on.
Why are you looking into the old Jiba case?
That info will cost you one coffee
and help carrying this shit.
Deal.
[dramatic music playing]
Fuck.
[sighs]
- You sure there wasn't a class after mine? - No.
Shit.
[sighs]
[Nandi] How did you know that...?
[Jacob] Facebook.
You've never stalked someone you liked on Facebook?
[Nandi in Zulu] When I was young, we didn't have Facebook.
And if you've done your research, it means you know that I have a daughter.
She's not much younger than you.
[sighs]
[keypad clicking]
[upbeat music playing]
- [Vuyo sighs] - It's a funny coffee.
[Vuyo] You want milk with that?
So, um, why are you looking into this Benjamin Jiba case?
[inhales] It's Brenda.
She meant a lot to me.
I'm trying to piece together why she killed herself.
Jiba case took its toll on her.
She could never recover from what he did to that kid.
Busi was her favourite pupil.
Yeah, I get it.
I'm sorry, Bra V.
You know, I did notice something funny.
In the summary, it said that she made two statements after I left,
an initial one and a concrete one, months later.
So?
So the first statement is missing.
[chuckles softly] You know, with this department and record-keeping,
we're lucky we've got any files at all.
[tuts] Do you remember what she said in her first statement?
I actually wasn't there.
You took over as a lead on a case,
and you weren't there when a witness made a statement?
Brenda... Brenda's first statement doesn't matter.
The second one, that's the important one. That's the one that sent him away.
Miss Grootboom.
It was around one o'clock.
And the parents were picking up their kids from school.
I went down to the hockey field to have a smoke,
and that's when I saw them.
[Charlie] Them?
The victim and Benjamin Jiba, on the day she never got home.
Please tell me, why have you been silent about this for so long, Brenda?
Because I was scared.
I just kept telling myself
that the mechanic played with the kids all the time.
Brenda, are you... are you willing to stand by these words
in front of a judge when this whole thing goes to trial?
Yes.
Because it's the truth.
Benjamin Jiba was there when Busi disappeared.
[in Xhosa] He's a monster. He needs to get what he deserves.
[in English] Of course Jiba accused Brenda of lying. Fucking pedo.
Brenda was a hero.
And if you wanna remember her, you remember her for that.
- [Vuyo] Thank Roxanne for me. - [Charlie] Hope you didn't make copies.
[Vuyo] Of course not. I know the rules.
I gotta go.
You're not gonna drink that?
I got work to do.
Charlie!
Did you ever hear what happened to Benjamin Jiba's family?
His son?
[phone buzzes, dings]
- [Brenda crying] - [Leonard] Brenda, you need to calm down.
[in Xhosa] They said he killed himself in front of his family.
[hyperventilating]
[in English] The worst is over, Brenda. You did the right thing.
Look at me. Look at me.
[sobbing]
He raped and killed a child, Brenda.
He was guilty. It doesn't matter that you lied.
You did the wrong thing for the right reason.
Hey.
It doesn't stop the nightmares.
[sobbing]
I need you. I need you.
[door opens]
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything is fine. Right, Brenda?
Yeah, I think I just need a drink.
[speaks indistinctly]
Brenda, hey!
Brenda!
[Zinhle] Hello!
Hello!
[knocks on door]
Hey, PokébOi.
- Excuse me? - I know you're PokébOi.
What's a PokébOi?
Don't play dumb.
Wait, do you need your car fixed?
Are you sure you're not PokébOi?
The last time I checked, my name is Jacob.
Wait.
[recording] The number you've dialed is not available. Please leave a message.
I am so lost right now.
Sorry.
I've been speaking to someone online,
and the GPS said that the person was here in this location.
Really?
Pinged about two hours ago.
[Jacob] Look, I fix a lot of cars,
and people come and go all day.
PokébOi must be a client.
Is it not dangerous speaking to strangers online?
We have a connection.
Cool.
But if he's a European prince and wants you to send him 100K, don't.
It's such Sag energy for me to bond with a total stranger, isn't it?
Sag?
You're Sagittarius?
Yeah, why?
Just... getting Aries energy from you.
- You're into star signs? - What? Someone like me can't be?
I'm a Virgo, Gemini ascending.
Sag moon.
You should actually ask this PokébOi to send you a birthday present.
If he's a con, he's definitely not gonna spend a single cent.
He wouldn't know my real birthday.
I put fake birthdays on all my accounts just to fuck with people.
So when is your birthday?
20 December.
What?
Just, uh,
same day my father died.
I'm so sorry.
Look, if one of the cars belong to this... PokébOi,
I'll try and find out when they come collect.
Thanks.
How do I contact you if I do?
[Benjamin in Xhosa] My boy, you believe your father, right?
[in English] I'm innocent.
[guard] Hey! Hey!
[Benjamin in Xhosa] I didn't do this!
[Lucinda] Benjamin!
[gun fires]
[Vuyo sighs]
[DVD player whirs]
[computer beeps]
[phone buzzing]
- Hey. - Listen, I'm just checking in.
Do you wanna join us for dinner tonight?
I'm tied up.
[in Tswana] Tell me, bro.
[in English] Are you still with Charlie looking into all that Brenda stuff?
[inhales, clears throat] You know, um...
[in Tswana] I had a chat with Charlie.
[in English] And I realized that I'm going on the wrong road...
[in Tswana]...trying to find answers that don't exist.
[in English] So I'm just dealing
with a disgruntled housewife at the moment.
[chuckles]
I can imagine.
[in Tswana] Listen, I was serious...
[in English]...about you and I travelling the world together.
[in Tswana] Man, are you sure you're not sick?
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[phone beeps]
So you're just gonna completely mize my message after I said we need to talk?
That is high-key being an asshole.
No. [sighs]
Little too aggressive, Zee.
[sighs]
- [phone beeps] - Okay, look, Poké, whatever your name is.
I don't appreciate being strung along like... [splutters]
No.
[sighs]
[sighs] Zee!
[exhales]
[phone beeps]
Okay, look, PokébOi,
I don't know what game we're playing at.
All I know is I thought you were for real.
If that's the case,
then meet me tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. in building B on campus.
If not, then... this is goodbye,
and it's the last time I say it.
[phone dings]
[phone chimes]
Oh.
[sighs, inhales]
[dramatic music playing]
[Vuyo] 7:07 a.m., Jacob leaves.
8:42 a.m., Nandi leaves.
[slow jazz music playing]
There you go, lovely.
Thank you.
[Leonard sighs]
Listen, babe, I really meant what I said at our anniversary.
This is a new period for us.
[sighs] Yes, man.
- This wine used to hit the spot. - [chuckles]
[chuckling] You know? And now it just goes... straight to my head.
- [in Zulu] I remember. - [Nandi] Mmm.
[in English] I remember the last time we had it.
It was, um, Llandudno.
The sun was setting, and I tried to pour wine in your glass,
and you were like, "No, no, no, don't do it, Lenny."
- [chuckles softly] - "I'm pregnant."
I was so happy.
First thought that crossed my mind was, "Thank you, Lord."
"Zinhle's about to have a baby brother."
I want us to be that happy again.
Like when we were kids. Remember that? Do you remember how happy we once were?
Yeah.
I do.
Can't we try and get that back?
[exhales]
[knocking on door]
Who's that?
[gasps]
[Vuyo] 12:00 p.m., Jacob returns.
Goddamn motherfucker.
[sighs]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[Jacob] Good evening, Justice Mahlati, sir.
- [Leonard] Come in. - [Jacob] I'm sorry to disturb.
- You good? Yeah? - I'm cool. Real good.
Professor, you left this in the lecture hall.
Oh, wow. Thank you. [clears throat]
[Jacob] No problem.
Oh man, it's a beautiful home that you have here.
[Leonard] Thank you. Thank you very much.
- A lot of hard work. - Yeah, I can imagine.
- [Leonard] How did you know where we live? - [Jacob] From the university, sir.
- [Leonard] Very considerate. - [chuckles]
[Leonard]...as a last-year student. Study hard.
[Charlie] She cut the vein on her left arm,
used a belt as a tourniquet.
[Vuyo] Where is your belt?
[phone ringing]
[Vuyo] Nandi!
It was his belt at the crime scene. I have the evidence.
[Leonard speaking indistinctly]
Nandi!
[in Tswana] He killed her.
He murdered Brenda.
