‎[anticipatory music playing]
[Zeb in English] So Mark, thank you very much for the good work.
-[Sandile sighs] -Good afternoon, everyone.
It's good to know that someone got kind enough to invite us
to this presentation this time around.
You're welcome.
You are board members, you know?
[Aurora] Unless someone deliberately withholds the invite from us.
-[Zeb] Did you hear something? -[in Xhosa] Let's start, love.
[in English] Can we start?
-[in Zulu] Let's sit here. -[in English] Thank you, darling.
[in English] Umm, greetings everyone.
[Sandile] Okay.
‎[dramatic music playing]
‎[suspenseful music playing]
Glad you could make it.
I didn't come here to be jacked around.
So let's get on with it.
[inhales] Okay, as you wish.
Do you want your mine back or not?
Now that's a stupid question.
That's why I called you in the first place.
[tuts] Okay.
I can make it happen.
I sense a fallout of huge proportions.
You can call it what you wish.
[tuts] Here's the thing,
if you can do this to him,
why wouldn't you do that to me?
Unless uh, this is more than just about money.
Oh, it is.
It is. But that's all you need to know.
Sounds good to me.
So, when do I get my mine back?
‎[ominous music playing]
[clapping]
That was very impressive.
-Well done, son. -Thank you, sir.
-Call your brother. -Okay.
[Mangaliso] Greetings, everyone. [sighs]
Mangi.
Pops, brace yourself.
‎[exhales]
‎[anticipatory music playing]
‎[sighs]
‎[dramatic music playing]
‎[birds chirping] [water running]
‎[dramatic music continues]
-Khumbulani-- -Not now, Ethel.
I've got a bigger problem.
-Like, my phone is missing. -Your mother fired me.
What? Why?
Can you just ask her to keep my job?
I care about it and it's important.
Of course, of course, you're my lucky charm.
I'll speak to her.
‎[dramatic music playing]
‎[dramatic music continues]
[Mangaliso] Right, so as I've stated above the unit economics,
-we hope to have spent-- -[Zeb] Mangaliso.
What is going on?
[sighs] What do you mean?
Isn't this the exact same presentation that Sandile just did?
-Yes. -[in Zulu] Yes.
‎[splutters]
[in English] [flustered] Wait, wait. Wait a minute. I don't understand.
[Zeb] No my boy, we don't understand.
Your presentation is exactly the same as Sandile's.
‎[dramatic music plays]
[Mangaliso yells] Sandile! Sandile!
‎[tense music plays]
[in Zulu] Hey you, Sandile.
You stole from me.
I stole from you?
[in English] You thought you could win this by stealing from me?
[in Zulu] You're crazy.
You stole from me.
Mangaliso, I didn't steal anything, man!
-The presentation you just pitched. -I didn't steal anything!
[in English] I want to know how the hell you got your hands on it.
-[in Zulu] What are you doing? -He stole from me!
-No, man! -[indistinct chatters]
-[in Xhosa] No, hey! My child! -[in English] Hey! Hey!
[in Zulu] What is going on?
-He stole from me! -[Aurora ] What?
[in English] The presentation he pitched is mine!
Oh, come on.
‎[Matilda in Xhosa] Hey, you!
[Zeb's brother in Zulu] What are you doing?
[in English] You okay, baby?
‎Go inside.
[in English] There's nothing to see! Nothing to see.
[Zeb's brother in Zulu] Calm down, man.
[Zeb in English] Can someone please give me some answers?
Pops, listen, I apologise for my behaviour.
-[in Zulu] He's actually the problem. -[Matilda exclaims]
[in English] You attacked him.
Yes, I attacked him. We all know, Matilda.
Come on, I was pushed to a corner. He stole my damn presentation!
[in Zulu] My goodness.
[Sandile in English] Why am I on trial here?
I should be laying charges on him for assault,
and stealing my proposal.
No, it's a circus. I… I can't do this, Pops.
[Zeb] Mangaliso. Mangaliso!
[Matilda in Xhosa] Let him go. What do you want from him?
-[raises voice] Matilda! -This child's being silly.
[in English] Sandile…
is there a logical explanation to all of this?
[in Zulu] Dad, Mangaliso accuses me,
[in English] he attacks me, he walks out on you,
and you're asking me if there's a logical explanation?
[in Zulu] No, man. Geez.
‎[Matilda claps]
[Matilda in English] Congratulations my love.
You just isolated two of your sons in one minute.
‎[sighs tiredly]
-[Dimakatso] Hey. -You are not supposed to be here.
Hey babe, what happened?
Dimakatso,
[in Zulu] we both agreed
to cool off a bit.
What if my mother walks in here, huh?
Actually, we should take a break.
No way, babe. But you know I can't stay away from you, baby.
[in English] Please.
My mom! What would you say if she was to walk in here?
‎[in English] I don't want ‎her to see us again.
‎I know.
[in Zulu] But my love, I can't stay a day without you, you know that.
Please.
‎[sighs]
[in English] Oh men,It's just… [sighs]
[in Zulu] You know I've had it up to here with that marriage.
[in English] If it wasn't for that stupid prenup.
‎Come on, babe.
‎[sensual music playing]
With all these accusations thrown around,
I've decided not to make any ruling until I look into this.
[Matilda in Xhosa] Geez, love.
[in English] I've made my decision, Matilda.
‎[in Xhosa] So Mangaliso can attack ‎Sandile and you do nothing about it?
‎[in Zulu] It's not a biggie.
‎[in English] Brothers fight all the time.
‎They'll get over it.
‎[in Zulu] Zeb and I grew up fighting.
‎[Aurora] Sure so does ‎the future of this company
‎-depend on those fights? ‎-[Matilda in English] Exactly.
‎I said I will make my decision.
‎What else do you want me to do?
‎[in Xhosa] Suspend Mangaliso.
‎He has to know he cannot behave ‎like that. Even if his dad's in charge.
‎[Zeb's brother] Yeah, brother.
‎[in English] I think I will ‎have to agree with Matilda.
‎You have to do something,
‎[in Zulu] because the employees will think
‎[in English] this kind of behaviour ‎is allowed at this office.
‎[in Zulu] Uh-uh, ‎I say let's find out the truth.
‎[in English] Before we can act on this. ‎We want proof here.
‎[Matilda ] Aurora, I can tell ‎you without fear of contradiction
‎that Sandile and Aluta worked ‎on this proposal the whole night.
‎If you want proof,
‎[in Xhosa] ask your daughter, Aluta.
‎[Zeb's brother in Zulu] Ahh, Mangaliso. ‎This boy's problematic, he's lying.
‎He knows Aluta ‎put the business plan together.
‎[Aurora in Zulu] So, ‎why would he lie then?
‎That boy is a drunk ‎and he's useless. He knows it.
‎He just wants to claim credit ‎for the work he did not do.
‎He wants to harvest what he didn't sow.
‎As for me, I'm sorry, ‎I don't believe this story.
‎There is something else at play here.
‎You know this boy
‎wants us to believe that he is stupid.
‎[in English] But you know what, ‎he's very very smart.
‎[in Zulu] And he's not easy ‎to control and he's not predictable.
‎And as much ‎as I don't want it, I would rather
‎the smelter business ‎be given to Sandile to run.
‎Yeah. But it's easy
‎to say so but he can't,
‎because they are controlling him. ‎He needs to free himself first.
‎What if Aluta says something else?
‎What?
‎[in English] What do you mean?
‎[in Zulu] What if her testimony doesn't ‎support what Sandile said?
‎That means Mangaliso can still win.
‎Yes, even Sandile can still win,
‎depending on what Aluta ‎says she saw or did not see.
‎Oh, but why are we ‎even cracking our brains
‎about something ‎we'll benefit nothing from?
‎Okay, keep it down and learn, right?
‎Let me do this.
‎[phone clicks, beeps]
‎[in English] Hello, my baby,
‎[in Zulu] where are you? Are you home?
‎[Aluta in English] ‎I'm home, Ma.
‎[in Zulu] Please run to ‎the Magenta Coal offices now.
‎There's an emergency.
‎[Aluta in English] ‎What sort of emergency.
‎[in Zulu] Run, my baby. ‎Don't ask questions, you're wasting time.
‎And drive safely, okay?
‎[in English] Yeah, okay, I love you. Bye.
‎[sighs deeply]
‎What are you planning?
‎Eh, you know what,
‎[in Zulu] let's get in there and have ‎a chat with this boy before she gets here.
‎-[in English] It's fine, take the lead. ‎-Okay.
‎[suspenseful music playing]
‎[knocking]
‎[in Slang] Oh! I… I'm sorry.
‎[Aurora in Zulu] Sorry, we didn't know ‎that there was a meeting going on here.
‎No, I was on my way out.
‎[in English] I heard about the fight, ‎so I came to offer my support.
‎[in Zulu] Oh okay, ‎we also came for the same thing.
‎[Dimakatso] Yeah.
‎Okay then.
‎[clears throat]
‎[in Zulu] Sandile, my son. How are you?
‎[in English] Hey
‎[in Zulu] You can see for yourself, sir.
‎[Aurora] Ah, you know this boy, ‎Mangaliso.You know,
‎[in English] he's such a sore loser.
‎-[exclaims] ‎-[in English] Yeah.
‎[in Zulu] Anyway, ‎how can I help you, my elders?
‎[in Zulu] No, we just came to ask ‎you how we could be of help to you.
‎Help me?
‎[Aurora] Yes, because we both see ‎an honest person when it comes to you.
‎At the moment the jury
‎is arguing about ‎who stole from who and all of that.
‎You see all this chaos?
‎There's only one person ‎who can resolve it.
‎It's Aluta.
‎[Sandile in English] Yeah. Yeah.
‎[in Zulu] Yes, because she's the one ‎who gave me a hand on this proposal.
‎-Yes. And if you two collaborate, ‎-Yes.
‎everything will be sorted, ‎but under one condition.
‎No way.
‎[in English] I thought ‎you were on my side.
‎There shouldn't be conditions to this.
‎-[in Zulu] We're on your side, my boy. ‎-[Zeb's brother] Yes.
‎You know Aluta's testimony
‎will make it possible ‎for them to make a decision
‎on the Smelter Project.
‎As to who will win it, ‎as well as to who will run Magenta.
‎So I don't think you'd want to lose all ‎of that over just one little condition.
‎What's the condition?
‎We were thinking ‎that you should have Aluta
‎as your deputy project manager.
‎She'll be able to testify that
‎you worked on this proposal.
‎And that she also came ‎on board to assist and developed it.
‎In fact, that's what ‎actually happened, right?
‎Yes, that's what happened.
‎[Aurora in English] Oh okay, so…
‎[in Zulu] Is it a deal?
‎Who came up with this condition?
‎[sighs] Who do you think came up with it?
‎[tense music playing]
‎[in English] Mm. What?
‎I leave you alone for 30 minutes ‎and you manage to mess everything up?
‎You don't just go ‎and make anybody your deputy.
‎[in Xhosa] Sibonelo and Aurora's daughter?
‎[in English] Two people who would do ‎anything to take over Magenta Coal,
‎and to remove ‎us from chieftaincy. You know this!
‎[in Xhosa] And you just ‎gave them the key for free.
‎[in English] You know what…
‎[inhales] No problem.
‎I'm just gonna have this reversed.
‎[in Xhosa] I'll talk to your father.
‎Bye-bye, my child.
‎Oh, this house! [sighs]
‎Did you find your phone?
‎[in Zulu] No, I did not find it, Ma.
‎[in English] So someone out there ‎has a video of you having sex with Ethel.
‎[in English] I didn't have sex with Ethel.
‎Then who did you have sex with?
‎Doesn't matter.
‎Huh.
‎Let's hope for your sake, ‎they can't open your phone then.
‎-[Khumbulani] Yeah, I hope so. ‎-[sighs]
‎-[in Zulu, exhales] Ma. ‎-Yes
‎[in English] You can't fire Ethel.
‎[in Xhosa] So that ‎floozie of yours ran to you?
‎[in Zulu] She didn't do anything wrong.
‎[in English] How do I know you're not ‎gonna have your next sex video with her?
‎[in Slang] Gosh, Ma,
‎[in English] you can't fire Ethel.
‎I need her for other things.
‎[dramatic music playing]
‎-[car engine revving] ‎-[car beeping]
‎[Zeb's brother in Zulu] Oh, my child.
‎I can't do it, Dad.
‎[in English] I cannot do that to Sandile.
‎All I'm going to do is to tell ‎the truth and that's that.
‎[in Zulu] No, you can't say that,my child.
‎This is from your ancestors.
‎They've bestowed it upon your shoulders.
‎Your mother is a mastermind.
‎She came up with this idea.
‎[in English] You'll be ‎the first member of our family
‎to have a substantial stake ‎at Magenta Coal.
‎[in Zulu] It's all on you.
‎Let me tell you about the Smelter Project. ‎You'll call the shots.
‎Everyone will get instructions ‎from you. Don't you want that?
‎Of course I do, Dad.
‎[in English] But I don't ‎want to blackmail Sandile.
‎You're not blackmailing him.
‎You're merely confirming ‎a testimony in return for a favour.
‎[in Zulu] Unfortunately, my child, ‎that's how the business world works.
‎[in English] Yeah, ‎but Sandile's probably gonna think
‎I'm some horrible gold-digger person.
‎[in Zulu] No, we have taken care of that.
‎You are innocent.
‎[in English] So what's next?
‎It's time for you ‎to tell your story to the board.
‎[suspenseful music playing]
‎Come, come.
‎-Aluta! ‎-Uncle Muzi.
‎How are you?
‎It's been a long time.
‎You must have finished ‎your university by now.
‎Yeah, last year ‎of my Masters in Economics.
‎Fabulous.
‎Umm, so you-- ‎You're here with your parents?
‎[softly] Sort of.
‎[Muzi sighs] Is this about you helping
‎-Sandile with his proposal? ‎-[phone rings]
‎Yeah, they asked me to confirm I did it.
‎Aluta, listen.
‎Sandile's proposal ‎is exactly like Mangaliso's proposal. So,
‎one of them stole from the other.
‎So if you can shed some light on this, ‎it will really, really be helpful.
‎I really wish it didn't happen like this.
‎It's okay, just tell the truth ‎and you'll be fine.
‎Like always, Uncle Muzi.
‎Okay, fabulous.
‎This company needs brains ‎like yours, alright? [chuckles]
‎How is Auntie Dima?
‎She's, she's good.
‎We are… we are all good.
‎-[Aluta] Great. ‎-Good.
‎Shall we?
‎-[exhales] Yeah. ‎-Okay.
‎[pensive music playing]
‎[suspenseful music playing]
‎[sighs loudly]
‎[suspenseful music continues]
‎[scoffs]
‎What the hell is going on here?
‎[exhales]
‎[Zeb in Zulu] Thank you, my child. ‎You may excuse us.
‎[Zeb in English] Any news ‎on Mangaliso's whereabouts?
‎No, his phone is still switched off.
‎Well,
‎in light of Aluta's testimony,
‎which is exactly what Sandile said.
‎I declare Sandile the head ‎of the Magnesium Smelter.
‎Isn't this a bit premature?
‎How?
‎We haven't heard from Mangaliso yet. ‎Let's hear his side of the story.
‎He's not here, is he?
‎Yeah, so I suggest that you put off
‎the confirmation of Sandile ‎until you hear from him.
‎[Zeb] Muzi,
‎Mangaliso is being disrespectful ‎to this board by refusing
‎to appear for this hearing.
‎[Muzi] He didn't refuse.
‎[Zeb] He's got his phone off. That's a ‎sign that he does not want to be reached.
‎Again, I declare Sandile the winner.
‎And Mangaliso will be suspended ‎from Magenta Coal for two weeks.
‎[Sandile] Dad, can I say something?
‎You can start by saying thank you.
‎[claps] Thank you, sir.
‎And thank you for believing in me.
‎I won't let you down.
‎Secondly, I… I would like ‎to propose that Aluta become my
‎deputy project manager.
‎-Aluta? ‎-Yes, sir.
‎I mean, I understand ‎she's still in school,
‎but, she did help me with the proposal.
‎And she knows about this ‎project more than anyone here.
‎[Zeb] Anyone disagrees with that?
‎No.
‎[Zeb] I guess ‎that's your decision to make.
‎Again, congratulations, young man.
‎Thank you, sir.
‎What was that about?
‎Hmm. That was me trying to be fair.
‎Look, I understand, you don't want Sandile ‎to be the head of this Smelter Project,
‎and that's understandable.
‎But he's the best son for the job,
‎and he's proven that.
‎Ah, that remains to be seen.
‎-I get it. ‎-No, you don't get it, Zeb.
‎Look, you are the one who always told me
‎not to let my emotions cloud my judgment.
‎That's exactly what I'm doing here.
‎Sandile is the future of this company and
‎I don't want you to destroy the future.
‎Zeb, let's, let's quit the pretence, okay?
‎You are doing exactly ‎what any father would do.
‎And I respect that. I told you
‎that I'll respect your wishes ‎and that's exactly what I'm doing.
‎But please, I'm not ‎gonna pretend that I like it.
‎You know I don't.
‎So let's just get on with this,
‎and hope that some semblance ‎of our friendship can still be salvaged.
‎You know he's ‎the right guy for the job, right?
‎[giggles]
‎[in Zulu] Anyway, how did your meeting ‎with Donald go? [clears throat]
‎[in English] Oh, it went as I expected.
‎The man wants his mine back ‎and he will do anything to get it.
‎-Good job. ‎-[Muzi] Yeah.
‎-Keep your friends close… ‎-[both] And your enemies even closer.
‎Works all the time.
‎You are a very good lawyer, Muzi.
‎So how badly does he want his mine back?
‎Badly enough to see you dead.
‎[laughs] Did you discuss it?
‎-[Muzi] Yeah, it came up. ‎-Yeah?
‎Yeah. Um, listen to this.
‎[Donald] ‎I want to see ‎that smug smile wiped off Nkosi's face
‎when a bullet rips his guts open.
‎[Muzi] We have this to blackmail him with,
‎then you can move in… ‎and take the rest of his properties.
‎We've always been the winning team.
‎Thank you, my friend.
‎[tense music playing]
‎[birds chirping]
‎[cutlery clattering]
‎[in Zulu] My baby, eat something.
‎I'm not hungry.
‎[eating]
‎Are you still angry about today?
‎We are celebrating here, we've won.
‎[in English] Then why do I feel dirty?
‎Why do I feel like a part of me just died?
‎[Aurora laughs] It's business, my child.
‎[in Zulu] You'll get used to it.
‎If that's so, ‎I don't think I want to do it.
‎Well, my child, all I can say ‎is that we're proud of you.
‎This is a job well done ‎on putting your family first.
‎[upbeat music playing]
‎[in English] Hey.
‎Hi.
‎I come in peace.
‎[exhales] What do you want?
‎I know that this is your guys' hang spot,
‎and you certainly don't ‎want my girl looking for you.
‎Can I have a seat?
‎It's a free country.
‎So tell me, why aren't you with uh, ‎the uh, rest of the clan celebrating?
‎[giggles]
‎Because I actually fight ‎for what I believe in and want.
‎I'm kind of surprised ‎you're not doing the same thing.
‎I've got nothing to prove.
‎Ah! You know, umm…
‎I uh…
‎I know about your late mother.
‎And surely you don't ‎want to disappoint her.
‎-Especially her. ‎-Sure.
‎It's disappointing.
‎-Why are you here? ‎-[indistinct background chatter]
‎You know, I, I'm much like you.
‎I don't fit in.
‎Believe me, [laughs] ‎you're nothing like me.
‎[laughs] I could say… the same thing.
‎You say the same thing, but ‎you still haven't answered my question.
‎She… she told me um, about the proposal.
‎She actually believes you.
‎So do I.
‎Wait, how… how did you know--
‎You know what, just leave it.
‎It doesn't matter. You know, ‎you've got nothing to prove, right?
‎I'm so sorry that I wasted your time.
‎-No, wait. ‎-No, we're good.
‎Sophie.
‎[lively music playing]
‎[lively music stops]
‎[in Xhosa] How, my child? How?
‎-How can you mess up so badly, baby? ‎-[in English] Ma, not now.
‎-[in English] Baby? ‎-Ma, not now, please.
‎How do you give ‎the enemy a seat at our table?
‎[in Xhosa] How will Aurora ‎and Sibonelo manage such a huge task?
‎[in Zulu] Your problem is ‎you're taking this thing way too far.
‎[in English] Baby, ‎war was declared on this family
‎the moment all of you were born.
‎[tense music playing]
‎Welcome back, love.
‎How was work?
‎I have bigger things to worry about.
‎-Like what? ‎-[Muzi] Like you sleeping with Sandile!
‎-I was doing it for us. ‎-Zed, has asked me not to touch Sandile.
‎What? And you agreed.
‎-What kind of a man are you? ‎-Oh, you have no idea.
‎[suspenseful music playing]
‎See, this is exactly what I was saying.
‎Didn't I say they're gonna sacrifice you?
‎So this is about me now.
‎Well if you think I slept with Sandile ‎because I love him more than you,
‎-then you really don't know me. ‎-Oh, I know you.
‎I know you, Dima.
‎That is why you're not ‎on the streets with your bare ass!
‎Of all the men you could sleep with,
‎you chose that punk Sandile!
‎You do realise the kind of ‎position you put me in with Zeb.
‎[suspenseful music continues]
‎That man has been ‎my best friend long before you were born.
‎I owe him my career, my life!
‎[suspenseful music playing]
‎Well, what if Zeb was ‎no longer in the picture?
‎What are you talking about?
‎-[gunshots booms] ‎-Hey!
‎[phone ringing]
‎[suspenseful music continues]
‎This is Matilda.
‎[suspenseful music intensifies]
‎Hello.
‎[engine revving]
‎-What? ‎-What?
‎Zeb has just been shot.
‎Oh, is he dead?
‎[dramatic music plays then fades]
‎[somber music playing]
‎[Muzi] Everybody will be fine.
‎Surgeries like this usually take for--
‎[Matilda] Muzi, what happened?
‎What are they doing here?
‎We have the right to be here. ‎That's my brother in there.
‎[Matilda] Half-brother!
‎[in Zulu] Did you hear ‎this bitch? Did you?
‎[Muzi in English] [splutters] Please, ‎ladies. I beg of you.
‎Matilda, I told them to come.
‎Uncle Muzi,
‎how is uncle that side?
‎Like I said, he's still in surgery.
‎[in Xhosa] Where is Mangaliso?
‎[in English] Mangaliso, ‎I couldn't reach him. He's um…
‎I just couldn't reach him.
‎He had a fight earlier with Zeb.
‎How bad was it?
‎[Muzi] It was pretty bad. ‎Zeb got so angry, he hit him.
‎Well, guess we have at least one suspect.
‎Matilda, this is neither the place ‎nor the time for that kind of talk.
‎[sternly] Our thoughts and our prayers
‎should be with Zeb at this time.
‎[Dimakatso] Well, from what I see,
‎everyone here is a suspect.
‎Everyone has something ‎to gain by killing the Chief.
‎[in Xhosa] You loose girl,
‎[in English] How dare you ‎speak to me like that?
‎Matilda, you will not speak to my wife--
‎[Matilda] Then you put ‎a leash on your little dog.
‎You expect me to stand here ‎and listen to these baseless accusations.
‎[Muzi] If the accusations are so baseless,
‎-why are you so triggered by them? ‎-Oh, I'm not triggered.
‎If anybody wanted ‎my husband, it's those two.
‎-[in Zulu] I'll beat the hell out of you. ‎-[in Zulu] What?
‎[Muzi in English] What has ‎come over the two of you?
‎[in Zulu] You must learn what you're ‎entitled to, rather than accuse us here.
‎And stick to your lane, girl.
‎-[Matilda] Or what, Aurora? ‎-[Aurora in English] Or what?
‎Or what-- ‎[in Xhosa] What will you do to me?
‎[Muzi in English] Please. Aurora.
‎You're gonna send your assassins after me
‎like you did with my husband?
‎[in Zulu] Calm down. ‎Leave her, it's madness talking.
‎[Muzi in English] ‎[yells] Matilda, get a grip!
‎No Muzi, now, I do have to speak.
‎The moment that I turned my back, ‎these two had their little leech over here
‎insinuate herself into my son's project.
‎-[splutters] Ma, Ma, now is not the time. ‎-[Muzi] Is that true?
‎[Matilda] No. ‎I have to put them in their place!
‎[Aurora] My child deserves this position.
‎[in Zulu] She helped ‎your son with the proposal.
‎[in Xhosa] She helped him how?
‎[in English] Sandile had already ‎done all the work on that proposal,
‎when she showed up.
‎When did anybody ever get a high position
‎as a reward for proofreading?
‎[in Zulu] You know what, ask Sandile. He's ‎here. Why doesn't he answer for himself?
‎[Sandile ] My elders, please.
‎[in English] Now is not the time.
‎[in Zulu] My ‎father is fighting for his life in there.
‎And you're busy fighting like kids.
‎[in English] I thought my father's life ‎was more important than this.
‎Sorry, excuse me. Doctor.
‎[pensive music playing]
‎[pensive music continues]
‎[Sophie] And what are ‎we toasting to my sweet lady?
‎To us, baby.
‎[Sophie] Freedom, acceptance, value.
‎But my beautiful… I-- I don't get ‎why you're so cool with all of this.
‎[Fezeka] Babe, ‎don't worry about that. To freedom.
‎-Freedom. ‎-Cheers.
‎You do know that ‎this is going to destroy your family.
‎Maybe it's time my family ‎caught a bit of a wake-up call.
‎Yeah, baby… Mm.
‎I mean, surely
‎-there's a better way of doing this. ‎-Babe, just think about it.
‎Me, you…
‎naked in my studio.
‎Perfect art.
‎It's not random pictures ‎being splashed on tabloids, you know?
‎We get to tell our story, our way.
‎-Right? ‎-You're a sneaky one.
‎-Always getting me to say, yes. ‎-Drink to that. Let's drink to that.
‎[phone buzzing]
‎-[Fezeka] Just ignore this. ‎-No, we can't. This could be important.
‎Okay, okay, fine.
‎Hello.
‎[dramatic music plays]
‎[somber music plays]
‎[Muzi sighs]
‎Zeb suffered injuries to the head.
‎They have put him in an induced coma
‎until the swelling comes down.
‎In the words of the doctor, ‎he's critical, but stable.
‎Oh, my… my husband is a very strong man.
‎Family,
‎I'd like for us to ‎join hands and pray for uncle Zeb.
‎As Sandile said earlier,
‎nothing is as important ‎as the life of uncle Zeb right now.
‎I know we all have our differences,
‎but can we just look past them?
‎Come on, Aluta is right.
‎Let's hold hands. Come on.
‎Heavenly Father,
‎we're not as perfect…
‎[somber music playing]
‎[Oupa] Ethel, what's wrong?
‎[whimpers] The Chief has been shot.
‎What? What happened?
‎That's horrible, ‎we should go to the hospital.
‎The family says they're on their way.
‎They said that he's critical but stable.
‎I don't know what that means.
‎It's… He'll be fine. He'll pull through.
‎[Ethel crying]
‎What were you doing in Khumbulani's room?
‎-[ominous music plays] ‎-I was just tidying up.
‎Come. Come, let's go.
‎[Matilda] Muzi, Muzi, ‎can I talk to you, please?
‎Privately.
‎[sighs]
‎Wait for me in your car.
‎[tense music plays]
‎I suppose you being the senior executive,
‎you'll be acting CEO right now.
‎Obviously.
‎I just wanted you to know that
‎you have my full support.
‎Of condition, of course.
‎Matilda, you never cease to amaze me.
‎Well, if looking out ‎for the best of my family
‎is a crime, I guess I'm guilty.
‎What do you want?
‎I want your first order of business to be ‎to remove Aluta from the Smelter Project.
‎Zeb was quite happy with Sandile's choice.
‎[Matilda] It wasn't Sandile's choice.
‎Can't you see that it has ‎those vultures all over this decision?
‎They can as well argue ‎that they are watching out for the best
‎interest of their family.
‎-Muzi… ‎-Yes.
‎Your loyalty is first ‎to Zeb and his family.
‎Exactly. Which is why
‎I'm respecting his wishes.
‎My work as acting CEO ‎is not to carry out my policies, but,
‎the policies of Zeb.
‎If I remove Aluta, I might ‎as well remove Sandile.
‎Well, I guess you can ‎do anything you want.
‎And who's to say you're ‎not the one who's responsible
‎for Zeb lying here in the first place.
‎[Muzi exhales]
‎-You're emotional, so it's underst-- ‎-Don't you patronise me!
‎I am just stating the facts.
‎Maybe this is part of your agenda.
‎Did you unleash your wife on my son?
‎I will not dignify ‎that question with an answer.
‎Of course, it is your secret plan.
‎You… you did this.
‎Which is why you did not take ‎action against my son or your wife.
‎Matilda, not everyone… ‎is as diabolically selfish as you are.
‎Now, the only reason ‎I didn't take action on your son
‎is out of respect
‎-to my friend, your husband, ‎-[scoffs]
‎who is lying critically ill ‎on the brink of death.
‎But here, here you are
‎carrying on like your husband ‎just went in there for a haircut.
‎We all grieve differently.
‎But your husband is not dead.
‎But it's good to know ‎that you can't wait to start grieving him.
‎Excuse me.
‎Bitch.
‎[exhales]
‎I hope you are happy now that, that bitch, ‎Matilda knows about you and Sandile.
‎Oh, I know.
‎And that doesn't seem to bother you?
‎You… you never cease to amaze me.
‎But we spoke about this, Muzi.
‎I was doing this for us, I swear.
‎[sighs] Alright, you know what,
‎I'll…
‎I'll start the divorce proceedings,
‎given Zebedee is out ‎of the hospital, that way you can
‎clean up your affairs.
‎What the hell Muzi? What the hell?
‎I thought-- ‎I thought we spoke about all of this.
‎I didn't ask you ‎to jump into bed with anyone.
‎I didn't jump into bed with anyone.
‎I was flirting with him.
‎To get him on camera ‎so we could use it to control him.
‎You knew about this,
‎and now you just wanna kick me ‎to the sidewalk and leave me with nothing.
‎-No way. Muzi. ‎-I knew what?
‎-Leave me alone, leave me alone. ‎-Muzi!
‎[Dimakatso sighs]
‎[phone ringing]
‎Muzi's phone, hello.
‎I'm his wife, Dimakatso.
‎[tense music plays]
‎[somber music playing]
‎-[Oupa] I am very sorry, ma'am. ‎-[gasps]
‎How is the Chief?
‎[somber music playing]
‎The police are here, ma'am.
‎-[softly] Just give me a minute, please. ‎-Yes.
‎[somber music continues]
‎[Aurora] Aluta, Aluta!
‎-No. No Ma. No. No, no. ‎-Aluta.
‎You lied to me, Ma.
‎[in Zulu] You lied, you said ‎Sandile wants me as his deputy.
‎Yes he did.
‎No, everyone knows ‎the truth is that you forced him to do so.
‎[in English] My baby, ‎it's for the good of the family.
‎[Zeb's brother in Zulu] No need ‎to raise your voice.
‎We did nothing wrong.
‎[in English] You got what you deserved.
‎You got what you stole!
‎[in Zulu] Don't point a finger at me. ‎I'm your father. Wait, man!
‎[yells] Did I raise you this way?
‎I'm begging you, please. Aluta,
‎you heard Matilda's ‎accusations that we tried to kill Zeb.
‎She won't let us be.
‎She'll make sure she shuts us out. ‎Had she had her way, we'd be long gone.
‎And the rightful person ‎to occupy that position is your father.
‎As well as the Magenta CEO position, ‎it was supposed to be your father's.
‎So Zeb just inherited a position without ‎any knowledge of how a business is run.
‎So my child, you are capable ‎enough to run this business.
‎[Zeb's brother] My child…
‎I'm sorry for raising my voice.
‎These people want to turn on us. ‎They want to scam us.
‎The business was not stolen, my baby.
‎Please understand that.
‎You are qualified enough to get in there.
‎Just go in there and work, ‎you'll have our full support.
‎In no time at all, ‎you will have accumulated a lot.
‎[tense music plays]
‎[in English] Aluta! Aluta! ‎[Aluta's footsteps disappear]
‎[exclaims]
‎[ominous music playing]
