As the movie careens toward its intense conclusion, both Jodie's colleague Officer Arendse (Brendon Daniels) and boss Captain Mululeki (Mothusi Magano) have begun to suspect that the killer is connected to the investigation. Thanks to their close relationship, Jodie has put the pieces together and realizes that it's Ntombi.
When a prominent businessman who was arrested as part of the investigation named Salim Khan (Afzal Kahn) gets off on a technicality, Jodie takes Ntombi to trail him as he leaves prison. It's clear that Jodie has intentions other than arresting Ntombi for her crimes, however, Ntombi is deeply uncomfortable now that it's obvious that her identity as the killer is known.
A car crash with the Khan's SUV leaves Jodie incapacitated. But Ntombi is able to climb out of the wreckage and kidnap Khan, bringing him to be detained along with another man who is part of the trafficking ring. As the two struggle against their restraints, Ntombi removes the mask she wears to commit her murders and says, "My name is Ntombizonke Bapai. My first name, it means 'all girls.'"
While the killings Ntombi commits are deeply personal, this declaration clarifies that she is also seeking vengeance for other girls who weren't able to get away like she did. While Jodie is talkative, scattered, and headstrong, Ntombi is quiet, fastidious, and intense. However, like Jodie's single-minded determination to use her position as a detective to help free victims of trafficking, Ntombi is on her own mission to seek retribution for the girls who have already been lost.
And while it may seem like their approaches put them at conflicting ends of this particular fight, as the last act demonstrates, Jodie isn't opposed to Ntombi's mission.
