Queen goes to a party in Harare. She is there for business purposes. She catches the eye of Elton, a rich white man, her intended target. Things are going well but then he gets suspicious of her. She gets worried for her life and provokes a fight which turns into a gun battle. Elton is shot and killed in the midst of the battle, but not by Queen. She manages to escape.
Elton's real name is Vitaly Gromova. His father is the leader of a Russian crime family. Ekaterina, Vitaly's older sister, learns of his death just as she is having a chat with Shandu. She was trying to push him away from her brother.
Queen learns that Hendrikus, the man who was in prison for murdering her mother, just died before being released from prison. She doubted that he was the one who pulled the trigger. She goes to see his widow, pretending to be a prison nurse who just wants to pay her respects. Queen steals the widow's iPhone in the hopes that there may be something of value on it.
Ekaterina's father doesn't take the loss of his son very well. He makes it clear that his daughter will not be taking over for him. She doesn't care for her father's announcement and kills him. She meets with Shandu again and talks him into sticking around and working with her.
Queen and Fred examine the phone and discover that Hendrikus' widow has been getting payments from someone in the South African government. The account from which the payments originate is an SOG account. This can only mean that the money is coming from their organization, from their boss.
Thoughts
I'm still enjoying this series. It feels like the main story is still taking shape. Queen has yet to come face-to-face with or realize who the show seems to have identified to be the big bad, Ekaterina. I am far from ready to drop this show.
