[Max] Shadow, we shouldn't get involved with this stuff.
[Shadow, in Zulu] Hey, man, what's your problem? Let's go.
[Max] Uh-uh, you're on your own, man.
Listen, I told you about this. It's a bad idea.
[Shadow, in English] Come on, man. You can't seriously believe in this garbage.</c.bg_trans
My grandmother had the gift.
-She knew things before they happened. -Oh, really?
Did she know about your dance lessons?
Listen, you can joke all you want,
but this shit right here? This is a different world.
Can you honestly not feel that, how heavy the air is?
Look, a "Death" card.
Hey...
It doesn't mean what you think.
It's about endings, transitions.
Are you going through a change?
Me? Oh no, this card belongs to you, man.
[chuckles] How so?
Because you keep ripping people off, and that's about to change.
[in Zulu] Tell me, how do I do that?
You said something to a woman about her dead child.
She took your advice, and now she's in hospital.
[in English] I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe she misunderstood me.
[in Zulu] You like what you're doing here, huh?
Filling people's minds with your nonsense?
[chuckles, in Zulu] Listen, man, I'm not a con artist.
[in English] I just read the cards and tell people what I feel.
[Shadow chuckles] Then you make them pay?
[in Zulu] What? You think this is a scam?
Want to see for yourself? Let me show you.
I'm not into this stuff, bro.
[in English] You've got so much strength in you.
A purity...
despite the violence.
[card sliding]
You've suffered a loss.
[in English] That's enough.
Wait... [in Zulu] there's something you're looking for.
No, wait. You're looking for someone, you're getting closer to him.
[in English] Give me your hand.
-[stammers] That's enough, let's go. -[Shadow] Mmm-mmm.
It's all right.
There's a child, she's gone.
But he is still alive!
You've been looking in the wrong place.
He's not here anymore.
He's out there, in the sand.
I can feel him! I can feel him!
You see what I told you? We should stay away from this stuff.
Hey, is he talking about what I think he's talking about?
Shadow, are you looking for Cyrus again?
What makes you think I ever stopped?
[exhales]
[echoing] A few months ago, I started to look into his business.
He's a diamond trader.
As corrupt as they come.
I've made a file, and I think it's enough to have him put away.
If you don't mind, I'd like to show it to you.
Look, Shadow, I am willing to do whatever it takes.
I'll take the stand if I have to.
I just need to make sure that Zinhle's safe.
All right, where's Cyrus now?
[knock on door]
Oh, look who it is. King of jungle.
-Is Scully home? -What you think?
He like washing machine, he never leave.
[Olga] Washing machine...
you have company.
Oh... [sighs] No.
Look, whatever it is, I'm busy, I can't do it, okay? I don't have time.</c.bg_transparent
You'll have to make time.
-It's personal. -Why does that make any difference to me?
Because then I'll owe you, and one day you might need a favor from me.
[exhales] Okay, fine.
What do you need?
His name is Cyrus. Cyrus Mulumbo.
Well, at least that's what it used to be.
I need you to find him for me.
And how exactly am I supposed to do that?
Max said you've designed a facial recognition program...
that uses security cameras?
Yeah... but, like, I'm still busy with it. It's not done yet.
Hey... it doesn't matter. I just need you to try. Can you do that for me?</c.bg_transparent
Okay. Okay, just don't get your hopes up, all right?
-Right. -What's the search area?
In Africa.
-[chuckles] I'm sorry? -Africa.
Yeah, it sounded like you just named a continent</c.bg_
Yeah, don't worry. I know where we can start.
Okay.

[emotional] Hi, Faith.
[Faith, emotional] Hey, so,...
Um...
I'm not catching you at a bad time, am I?
No, not at all.
How're you doing?
When is Holly coming home?
Um... it's another week.
Ouch. How're you coping without her?
[crying softly]
I'm actually glad that she's not around, um...
[voice breaking] I don't want her to see her mother like this.
What are you talking about? What's going on?
[Faith sniffs over phone]
[crying] I think I'm losing my mind!
[sniffs] Or something's happening in my house.
-Zo? -[static]
[water running]
[water trickling, dripping]
[screams]
[thunder rumbling]
[door opens]
[Shadow exhales]
Zo? Is everything okay?
Um, Faith called. Um...
-Something's happening at the house. -Another break-in again?
No, not exactly.
Look at this.
Apparently it started a few days ago.
-It's one weird thing after another. -Is she still on her meds?
You think she's doing this? She hasn't had an episode in years now.
I don't know. Maybe her medication is wearing off.
The stress with the divorce, what's happening with Holly.
-Nah. -It could be triggering things, you know?
It just feels like something else to me.
I'm worried about her. She shouldn't be in that house all by herself.
[scoffs] What are you saying? Now the house is haunted?
Have you forgotten the last time I was there? I told you, I saw something.</c.bg_transparent
What I do remember is that you had a lot to drink.
I was not drunk! And I didn't just see it, I...
-I felt it. -Okay.
Look, I don't have much work going on, maybe I'll drive over there
spend a few days with her, see what's going on.
I'd feel a lot better.
Thanks.
[Shadow] See, now that's an angel wing.
As long as you wear this, you and your mom will always be safe, okay?
[Zinhle giggles]
Once upon a time,
there was a kind-hearted girl who was loved by all who knew her.
[Shadow mock-screams in pain]
[Zinhle laughs]
You clowns are wasting my time, huh?
-I'll be out before the end of day. -[Shadow] I can't wait till you come out.</c.bg_transp
[Cyrus chuckles]
And why is that?
Because people like you need to face up to people like me.
I'm gonna make you a promise.
Whatever the courts decide...
me and you, we're gonna have our day.
[engine off]
Faith?
You're early. I thought you were only coming this afternoon.
-I can come back later if you like. -Shut up and give your cousin a hug.
You know, if you spent less time at gym, you might actually meet someone.
[chuckles] Is that right?
You know it is. [chuckles softly]
Thank you for coming.
-I really appreciate it. -Oh, you don't have to thank me.
Yes, I do! And I'm going to make it up to you, but first... a drink.
Are we not going into the house?
Um... I moved out.
-I'm staying in the guesthouse. -Hmm...
[Shadow] So... how's Holly?
Richard refuses to give up custody. [sighs]
He calls Holly every day.
Bribes her with his money. I mean, he's relentless.
Apart from that, things have been really good.
My new meds are working.
And Holly, she's adapting to life without her father.
She's made new friends.
So it's been really good.
Until last week.
You think it's all in your head?
I don't know.
I mean, it's not like before. It's different.
And with my history...
You know what they say.
Crazy people never think they're crazy.
Hey, listen to me.
You're not crazy, okay?
Don't say that about yourself.
We'll figure this out.
[sighs]
Do you mind if we pick this up later?
I wanna go check the house.

[Shadow, dimly] Faith?
[clearly] Faith?
What's wrong?
I feel stupid.
[Faith scoffs]
I've dragged you all the way out here, and don't even know what I want you to do.</c.bg_tr
It's kind of pathetic.
You didn't drag me anywhere. I wanted to be here, okay?
I told you, we'll work this out.
What if there's nothing to work out?
What if I'm the problem?
How am I gonna be a mom to Holly if I'm losing my mind?
[Faith screaming] Shadow!
Help!
[banging, groaning]
Shadow!
[screaming]
[Faith gasping, crying]
[Shadow] It's okay.
How did you get in here, huh?
-Hey, what's wrong? -I don't know, I just woke up in here!
-Huh? -I don't know.
[Faith crying] What's wrong with me?
[Shadow] It's okay, come on.
[Faith] Hey, Angela...
Um, listen, I'm coming into town.
You... wanna meet up and have lunch?
All right.
Will do, bye.
All right, just give me until six o'clock, okay?
-What are you gonna do? -Don't worry about it.
Try to keep your mind off this place for a few hours, okay?
Hey, listen...
Everything's gonna be fine.
I need you to trust me on this.
Okay?
Okay.
[leaves crunching]
[cell phone ringing]
-Found any ghosts yet? -[Shadow] Not yet.</c.bg_transpa
But I'm starting to wonder.
Can you help me out with something?
Sure, what's up?
I took some photos of Faith's medication.
I think the combination might be having some kind of effect on her memory,</c.bg_transparent
-maybe causing her to pass out. -She's blacking out?
Look, I don't know. Maybe.
All right, send me the photos. A friend of mine's a chemist, she'll know.</c.bg_transparen
All right, thank you. I appreciate it.
No problem. Listen...
What if it's not the meds?
Then I don't know.
[vehicle approaching]
A few days ago you thought I was a criminal, and now look at us.
I was right about you looking for someone, wasn't I?
I'm always looking for someone, it's my job.
What about the dead child?
-Is she also a job? -[car door slams shut]
[in Zulu] Listen here, bro, your job is to tell me what's happening in this house.</c.bg_tr
That's all, you understand?
Relax.
[in Zulu] I'm just making small talk.
You know...
the truth isn't the problem, but people don't want to hear it.
[scoffs softly]
Ancient spirits of my ancestors, reveal yourselves to me.
Light up the way, Qwabe, the Mngunis.
So, let me get this straight.
She slept in the other house, [in English] and woke up here?
-No history of night-walking? -[in English] No. [sighs]
I don't think so.
[in Zulu] Tell me...
she has a history of mental illness, right?
Ancient spirits of my ancestors...
show me the way, great ancestors.
You know, some people believe that our souls reside within our blood.
If the blood stops flowing...
the soul goes away.
Ancient spirits of my ancestors...
reveal yourselves to me.
Enlighten me.
Give me wisdom.
[in English] I don't sense anything in this house.
[in Zulu] This is nonsense. I knew you'd waste my time. Let's go.
[in Zulu] Wait! There are no bad spirits in this house.
Then tell me what's going on here and stop wasting my time.
Sometimes bad spirits don't dwell in houses,
they dwell in people.
[in English] You're telling me she's possessed?
It always fascinates me
how people have no problem believing in the Bible, in hell...
[in English and Zulu] but totally refuse to believe...
there are demons living with us on earth.
[in Zulu] If she has a demon, will you be able to help her?
You're not making any sense.
[in English] In that case... I'm afraid I can't help you.
[in Zulu] You're on your own, man.
Put that out and let's go.
[vehicle driving off]
[TV switches on, white noise]
-[telephone ringing] -[answering machine tone]
[in English] Hey, Faith. Listen, I know I said I'd be back by six,
but I just hit some traffic. Um...
I'm on my way, though. I'll be there soon.
-All right. -[call disconnects]
[exhales slowly]
[dashboard alarm pinging]
Shit!
[pinging stops]
[hood pops]
[sizzling sound]
[softly] Shit, man. What's going on here?
[woman] Although the tablets in the photo look similar
I think there has been a mix-up.
I'm fairly sure those are Xyletene, a very strong anti-psychotic
which would definitely affect someone with her diagnosis.
Okay, thanks.
[cell phone vibrating]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[keypad beeping]
-[call engages, dials] -[tone beeps]
[Ashley] Shadow, I think someone's messing up your cou
Those are definitely not the tablets. Call me back as soon as you can.
[vehicle approaching]
Shit!
Richard, what do you think you're doing?
[cellphone vibrating]
Richard! What are you doing here?
[sighs] Come on.
[car alarm activates]
[sighs]
Richard!
You know our agreement.
What are you doing?
-[Faith struggling] -[Richard] Shh... Easy, shh...
There we go, good girl.
Good girl. [panting]
[breathing heavily]
You should've left him out of this.
I wasn't gonna hurt you.
This was working out so perfectly.
Soon you'd have no choice but to have yourself committed.
You'd be declared an unfit mother...
and I'd get Holly.
[Shadow grunting, panting]
You know what's gonna happen when they find your body?
Hmm?
Nothing. There won't even be an investigation,
because crazy people, like you, kill themselves all the time. [chuckles]
Oh...
and if you're hoping that your cousin's gonna come save you...
he's not.
[Shadow shouting outside] Faith!
Faith?
[panting]
[both grunting, struggling]
[screams]
[Shadow breathing deeply]
[grunting]
[heart beating slowly]
[gasping]
[coughing, spluttering]
Sha--
Shadow! [coughing]
[no audible dialogue]
[Shadow] So, how're you doing, man?
-We're gonna be okay, thanks to you. -Oh, come on, girl.
You saved my life.
And you remember when I said that I'd find a way to make it up to you?
I told you, Faith, I don't need anything from you. You're family, girl.
-I know, and I don't care. -[chuckles softly]
Take a look.
Richard...
was hiding a lot of things from me, he had secrets everywhere.
One of them arrived last week.
And I want you to have it.
What, are you kidding me?
If you don't want it, I'm gonna give it away.
[exhales slowly]
Hey, look, Faith, this is too much for me. I can't accept this.
Hey, listen...
Holly and I have more than enough money.
If you don't wanna keep it, you can sell it.
I know that you and Zo, you could use the money.
[Shadow sighs]
I'm not taking "no" for an answer.
-What are you waiting for? -[chuckles]
Get it out on the road.
Hey, look, maybe I can just take it around the block for a little bit.
Know what I mean?
[laughs] Okay!
[engine ignites, revs]
-[revving increases] -Baby! Oh...
Ooh!
Oh... Now that's what I'm talking about.
Oh yeah!
[Ashley] So, it was all to get custody of his daughter?
[Zola] Yeah, if he could prove that Faith was an unfit mother,
the court wouldn't have had a choice.
[Ashley] That's so twisted.
[Zola] I never liked him. He once tried to hit on me.
He looked down at my chair, and told me he'd find us a hotel with a ramp!</c.bg_transparent
Wow, where was this?
-At the engagement party. -You're kidding!
Look, I... couldn't bring myself to tell Faith.
I convinced myself that he was just drunk.
I should've said something.
It would've saved her a lot of pain.
True, but then she wouldn't have had Holly.
-Mmm. -[message alert tone]
Okay, time to go.
-I thought you were taking photos. -This camera hasn't worked in years.
I just wanted to get you out the apartment.
-Why? -[chuckles] You'll see.
-Tell me. No, why? -You'll see!
-[Zola] What's going on? -[laughing] Girl, chill.
[Zola] What? This better be good, cause it's cold out here.
[Zola chuckles]
[door closes]
-[unsure] Hi. -[Shadow] This is Dr. Madi.
Good afternoon, Zola.
[Shadow] He runs a treatment program at, uh...
Donald Brown Institute, I know.
I know who you are, Doctor.
[trembling voice] What are you doing here?
It's good to meet you, Zola.
Your brother's been working with us for a while now.
He didn't want us to make contact until we'd had a chance to look at your file...</c.bg_tr
to see if you're a candidate.
And, uh...
I'm pleased to tell you... that you are.
I'm here to invite you to our program.
Of course, I can't promise you anything,
but I have worked on patients with similar injuries to yours, and...
we've had some success.
[scoffs]
[stammers] What do you mean?
As we speak, two of those patients are walking.
Whoa, hold on. Um...
Look, I know your treatment, and I know how much it costs. We...
[stammers] We can't afford that.
The institute has already been paid.
Look, it's a long story, but... we managed to pull through.
So, what do you say, Zola?
Would you be interested?
No guarantees.
But I'd say...
there's cause for hope.
[chuckles] Um...
[crying] Yeah... Yeah, I... [chuckles]
Yes.
Well, that settles it, then.
[chuckles softly]
[exhales loudly]
[snickers]
[call tone]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey! [chuckles] So, I guess this means you owe me.
-What, you got something? -Unbelievably, yes.
Two hits, actually.
One outside a restaurant in Gaborone, and the other... heading into a mine.</c.bg_transparen
-When? -Both today.
Are you sure about this?
I'm pretty sure, unless this guy has got, like, a twin running around.
Hey, listen, what's your beef with this guy anyway? What did he do?
Stay there, I'm on my way.
