(dramatic music)

You Mthethwa b****rds! This isn't your war.

We've not come for war Zwide, son of Langa.

But if you persist, we'll fight.

(men yelling)

I brought you a gift, great Nyambose.

The Ndwandwe King, Zwide.

(Nandi) Menzi kaNdaba.

Nandi.

I will make you my Queen.

(Mthaniya) Do you think a Kingdom is built on lust?

I want the eLangeni girl to be my Queen.

King Sodubo's daughter, Mkabi.

She's a perfect fit for Senzangakhona.

(Tana) My brothers,

maybe the King should pass the throne to one of us.

(Godongwana) Be careful, Tana.

Some may say that kind of talk is treason.

Do you want to be King, Mawewe?

Your future is in your hands.

(Jobe) My sons...

you all plotted to get rid of me.

Feed them to the vultures!

(Godongwana) I swear on my ancestors, the Mthethwa,

I will return.

I'm not a traitor!

I'm not guilty.

(grunting)

(gasping)

(melancholic music)

-(Mabhamba sobbing) -(Jobe) Catch him!

(dramatic music)

(Godongwana grunting)

-(indistinct chatter) -(Man) Check that side.

(tense music)

(Man #2) He's not here.

Let's go.

(gasping)

(grunting)

(body thudding)

(dramatic music)

(stream gushing nearby)

(dramatic music)

(footsteps approaching)

-(Godongwana) I'll kill you. -(Baleka) My love, it's me.

You're alive.

You're bleeding.

Did any of my brothers survive?

Baleka. Did any of my brothers survive?

It's just you and Mawewe.

-(Godongwana grunting/yelling) -(Baleka breathing heavily)

I'm sorry, Nyambose.

(Baleka) Nyambose, we have to keep moving.

They will catch up with us soon.

Let's go.

(serene music)

(Baleka) Help me!

Help me!

Please help me. Please help me.

(Mkabayi) They had few options for shelter.

The only refuge left for them was Zenzile,

Godongwana's sister who was married into the Qwabe royal house.

(Zenzile) All my brothers...

except Mawewe?

Is Tana gone as well?

My father would never do this to his children.

Nyambose is no longer the same.

His muddled mind...

makes him angry and delusional.

We'll move him somewhere safe.

How will I ever thank you?

Saving his life is enough for me.

Will you stay with him?

I must tell the King.

But no one else must know about this.

What about that man?

That's Gendeyana. He's very trustworthy.

You're lucky he's the one who saw you.

(melancholic music)

Who is my brother to you?

He is everything to me.

(dramatic music)

(Ngomane) Greetings. Have you seen an injured Mthethwa man passing here?

(Announcer) The King has returned!

-The King has returned! -(Man) Mkhatshwa!

(crowd) Nkabanhle!

-(Man) Mkhatshwa! -(crowd) Nkabanhle!

(dramatic music)

(music stops)

(mysterious music)

(dramatic music)

Zwide, son of Langa.

My brother.

My brother, please.

My brother, I beg you, please don't do this.

Mkhatshwa, don't do this.

Mkhatshwa don't do this, I'm begging you.

My brother.

Queen Mother, please forgive me.

Cija, my brother.

Please, let me go.

Release me!

Cija. Cija.

Queen Mother, I beg you.

Please forgive me for everything I said.

Cija, my brother, please stop what you're doing.

Cija.

Let me go.

My brother.

Don't do this.

Cija. Cija.

Mkhatshwa, the throne is yours.

I'll never rule.

(Zikode wailing)

(Nandi) My head is mixed up.

(Piklile) We'll find a solution, Nandi.

When?

The Mzimela will return soon.

I can't speak to Senzangakhona.

Why don't you pretend to be sick?

Shout and scream, pretend to be sick.

-Mm-hm. -(both chuckling)

(Nandi retching)

What's wrong?

I'm not feeling well, I have nausea.

-It's lovesickness. -Stop it.

They say it can kill you.

(retching continues)

Nandi.

(Nandi clearing throat)

What will we do if...

if you are...

-(Nandi) If I'm what? -(Piklile) If you're pregnant.

Pregnant?

If that's the case, nothing will keep you away from Senzangakhona.

Not like this.

What will I do if I'm pregnant?

(Iqhikiza) Who's pregnant?

(dramatic music)

(Mfunda) You had sex with that Zulu boy?

Nandi.

Nandi!

Pray the ancestors ensure you're not pregnant.

(sobbing)

(melancholic music)

(ambient sound muted)

(dramatic music)

(Warrior #1) Young man.

-(Man) Who? -(Warrior) Where is he?

-(Woman) What's going on? -(Warrior #2) Where is he?

(Woman) Who?

My King, we've long been searching for Godongwana.

We can't find him.

-Ngomane. -(Ngomane) Yes.

-We want him dead or alive. -Yes.

Otherwise your position is at stake.

Don't waste any time.

Great Nyambose, I'll do as you command.

Continue.

Leave my ankle, go higher.

Higher.

Higher.

(sighing deeply)

(Gendeyana) Nyambose.

I'm pleased to see you eating.

My sister takes good care of me.

Actually...

-Baleka's powers have healed him. -Ooh...

(Gendeyana) Where is she?

She's gone to the forest to look for herbs.

You need to be careful.

Ngomane has been seen not far from here.

(initiates chanting)

(Mkabayi) After a few months,

Senzangakhona returned from initiation.

In his absence he missed the departure of our father, Jama.

It was time for my brother to take over the throne.

I was hopeful that his mind had matured,

and that he had left his youthful ways.

(women ululating)

Great descendants of Malandela.

Descendants of Phunga and Mageba.

We welcome back the children of the royal house

from the river where they were taught important lessons

about our traditions.

-Senzangakhona. -Mageba.

You are now a man.

Give him his shield.

We're going to slaughter the bull.

Bring it down.

Wrestle the bull and twist its neck.

-Zulu! -(crowd) Zulu!

(women ululating)

-Zulu! -Zulu!

-Zulu! -Zulu!

(indistinct chatter)

(Mudli) Let's hear from Ndaba's calf.

Say a word or two.

Mageba.

(Mfunda) They say your boyfriend is back from the mountain.

We have to leave at dawn.

Prince Senzangakhona and his family,

must do the right thing and respect tradition.

Yes mother.

(Senzangakhona) Descendants of Ndaba,

we know who we are.

We are the people of the heavens,

the rain itself.

Our Kingdom will be respected...

from generation to generation.

There are things to come...

that'll make the departed King...

rejoice.

(Mthaniya) Descendants of Ndaba, help me celebrate.

I've found myself a daughter to help me around the palace.

Daughter of Mshazi.

(Mudli) First daughter of King Sodubo Nzuza.

Thank you descendant of Mshazi.

-(melancholic music) -(indistinct chatter)

(women ululating)

My King.

(Mkabayi) We celebrated the arrival of Mkabi.

Senzangakhona's first marriage

signalled a changed mood at kwaNobamba.

(Mudli) People of eLangeni,

(reciting clan praises)

Welcome.

We're pleased to see you. You weren't expected.

We're glad everything went well with Prince Senzangakhona.

(Mudli) You travelled all this way to congratulate Senzangakhona?

No.

We're here because of the damage you've caused, Zulu.

Your son has entered our kraal and damaged our Princess.

Which son are you talking about?

This one, Prince Senzangakhona, son of Jama.

(melancholic music)

(Mudli sighing) Here comes trouble.

(cows lowing)

(whispering) Deny everything.

You have a responsibility to lead the Zulu.

(music continues)

-(Mudli) Senzangakhona. -Mageba.

-Do you know this girl? -Yes.

(Mthaniya) Is it true that you impregnated her?

I did not penetrate her.

(Woman) My goodness!

Are you suggesting a dog impregnated our Princess?

(dramatic music)

(ambient sound muted)

(Iqhikiza) You've disgraced us.

Especially me who should protect your virginity.

You've disgraced us all.

I don't care about your disgrace.

(Iqhikiza) Nandi, you're getting out of hand.

(Mgabhi) You continue being disrespectful.

First, this Zulu beetle in your belly.

-Now you disrespect your elders. -He's lying.

You're the one who opened father's kraal for him, right?

-Oh, you were there, my brother. -We wouldn't be here, Nandi.

(cows lowing)

(sheep bleating)

(Mthaniya) You took the Princess of eLangeni's virginity?

(Senzangakhona) My answer remains the same, Queen.

It is as I explained.

(Mkabayi) Before our father died, I promised him I'd protect the Kingdom.

Sister...

soon I'll be King.

I'll lead my father's people as the Sanusi foresaw.

The Sanusi's prophecy only spoke of Mageba's bloodline.

Nobody's name was mentioned.

-What are you implying? -The Sanusi's prophecy,

-could've been about anyone. -The prophecy is about me...

and my reign.

(Mthaniya) Don't be arrogant, my child.

Is Nandi carrying your child?

It is possible.

(Mkabayi) We're preparing for your coronation.

And forging an alliance with the Nzuza.

I suggest that for now, you deny it.

(Mthaniya) We'll fix this when the child is born, if it's ours.

You've brought disgrace to the eLangeni girl.

This disgrace will follow her for the rest of her life.

(melancholic music)

(tense music)

(Mkabayi) Time escapes us.

On its heel the shadow remains.

While we waited for the baby to be born,

shadows engulfed Nandi.

(serene music)

(birds squawking)

(water splashing)

(water splashing)

(exhaling)

(Senzangakhona) I was under a lot of pressure.

-My father had just died. -(Nandi) You lied.

You humiliated me.

Nandi, I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't help.

It won't stop the insults I endure.

I wonder if the wife they've given you is aware

that she's married a coward.

Or is she perhaps blinded by love?

Is the child really mine?

-Nandi. -(Nandi grunting/breathing heavily)

(Senzangakhona) You were excited that day.

I was excited because of your promise.

You've made me a disgrace to my people.

I've shamed the eLangeni maidens.

My family...

despises me.

My brothers shun me.

I'm a disgrace.

-I understand your pain. -You understand nothing.

(Senzangakhona) If the child you're carrying is Zulu,

I promise that you both...

-will have a home at kwaNobamba. -How can I ever trust you again?

Nandi.

Please.

(dramatic music)

Nandi!

(tense music)

(Ngomane) Have you seen a wounded man,

from the Mthethwa, travelling with a young healer?

-No. -They say he passed this way.

How could you not see them?

(Ngomane) Great Nyambose,

I'm certain they're hiding at the Qwabe.

I didn't think I could barge in there,

considering your daughter Zenzile is their Queen.

It's not surprising.

-He ran to his sister. -(Ngomane) Nyambose.

(Jobe) You and Mawewe,

go to the Qwabe tomorrow.

And bring them back to me.

Great Nyambose, I'll do as you say.

(Piklile chuckling) I'm telling you...

-(Nandi) Piklile! -(Piklile) Yes?

I need your help.

(Piklile) I'm on my way to the river, Nandi.

Can't you help me with my hair?

(Girl) Piklile, it's getting late, let's go.

When I get back from the river, I'll help.

I promise.

(chuckling) As I was saying, he just...

(Mawewe) Knowing Godongwana is related to your Queen,

coming from the same womb,

we've decided to look here first.

We are family.

Therefore...

I don't see a need for secrets between us.

You seem to have healed Prince.

Thanks to you.

In a strange way...

these months with you...

have been the happiest in my life.

(Zenzile) Godongwana.

Mawewe and Ngomane are here. You need to run.

(Godongwana sighing)

(tense music)

(both panting)

(Godongwana) The river's flooding.

Careful!

We can't cross.

-(Baleka) Godongwana. -(Mawewe) My brother...

You can see there's nowhere to hide.

We've caught the traitor lovers.

-Let's talk, my brother. -Talk about what?

We're of the same testicle.

Why did you betray your brothers?

When you made me your shield

did it matter to you which testicle I came from?

-Ngomane... -Nyambose.

-Finish them. -(Godongwane) Ngomane...

-you know this isn't right. -Kill them, Ngomane!

(Ngomane) Nyambose.

The King wants them alive.

-You're challenging me? -(Godongwane) Mawewe...

let Baleka go.

It's me you want.

Our family hero.

Alright.

Come, Baleka.

Come, Baleka!

Promise you won't hurt her.

Promise me!

Nyambose wants his healer alive.

But this one is not a healer.

She's a witch.

Kill this traitor!

Baleka!

-(Baleka grunting) -(Godongwana) Baleka!

(Godongwana yelling)

(grunting)

Baleka!

(dramatic music)

(Godongwana yelling)

(tense music)

-(birds chirping) -(cows lowing)

(Woman) The Mzimela have agreed to accept the Princess and her child.

(Mgabhi) At least we'll be rid of Nandi's disgrace.

(Woman) She'll no longer be respected as royalty...

since she's spoilt.

And she's no longer marrying the Prince, Ndabezimbi.

She will marry a common man.

A common man?

-How old is he? -(Mgabhi) Does it matter?

As long as her beetle becomes a member of the Mzimela.

(Nandi grunting/breathing heavily)

(yelling)

Call the midwife.

(yelling continues)

-(crowd cheering) -(women ululating)

Soon you will be a Queen for the second time.

As of today, this thing of Mkabayi trying to influence me, ends.

As King, it helps to listen to the wisdom of the elders.

Of course, Queen Mother. I'm only talking about Mkabayi.

After my coronation, I want to talk to her about finding a husband.

(Mkabayi) You'll have to wait. She's gone to attend an urgent matter.

What's so important?

She's gone to eLangeni.

It's been months since the Ndwandwe war.

(yelling)

(baby crying)

(Mthaniya) If the child is ours...

we should do the right thing, as you wished.

(baby crying)

(melancholic music)

(ambient sound muted)

(baby crying)
