It boasts a star-studded cast including Sindi Dlathu, The Polygamist’s Sdumo Mtshali, Dumisani Dlamini, Thembinkosi Mthembu.
PAPI AND VLADIMIR RECONNECT
On Thursday evening, Papi received an unexpected visit from Vladimir, an old acquaintance flanked by two heavily armed bodyguards.
Vladimir had heard through the grapevine that Papi’s business was struggling, leading him to suggest taking down the “problematic” Hitman by stealing his brand-new bakkies.
However, Vladimir isn’t entirely genuine, as he expects a cut of the car sales, a condition Papi agrees to.
VLADIMIR’S NOT-SO-TRUSTED SPY
Vladimir’s “trusted” inside man within Hitman’s camp, Cobra, tipped him off that the camp recently hijacked a truck carrying new bakkies.
Vladimir then suggests to Papi that they steal the vehicles during the weekend, since Hitman will be at home in Bergville for an ancestral ceremony, which means his warehouse will be left unguarded.
SK KHOZA DELIVERS RIVETING DEBUT
A first look at Hitman already paints a dangerous picture of him. He is seen kicking and punching Cobra after discovering that he is Vladimir’s spy.
“So, you thought I didn’t know that you were Vladimir’s spy? That you’ve been following me around and snitching?” he asks.
Hitman then instructs his ally to contact MaNgwaneni back home and call off the traditional ceremony. Instead of killing Cobra, Hitman decides to use him as bail to get back at Papi and Vladimir.
Believing the warehouse is empty, Papi, Vladimir and their crew walk right into Hitman’s trap. When they realise the bakkies are not there, they immediately suspect there’s a traitor among them.
Thereafter, Hitman and his crew storm in and shoot Cobra, their spy. A deadly shootout soon erupts but comes to a halt when Hitman takes Papi’s brother-in-law hostage.
Confronted by his former protégé, Papi is forced to surrender and drop his gun.
Hitman then asks, “How do you feel right now? Your right-hand man, whom you taught everything, is about to kill you. I’m going to kill you today. How do you feel?”
Hitman then shoots Papi in the chest, but did he die?
