What's happening?

It's a storm.

Goodness! Are you still not dressed?

Do you want the lightning to scare off the cattle?

No, the storm isn't that bad.

Have you seen how bad it is outside?

Get dressed so we can go to the kraal. Come!

Actually, I've made a mistake, Baba.

I told the men to leave the cattle at the post tonight.

What?

You left my cattle alone in the mountains?

Are you insane?

It's not that, I thought it wouldn't rain tonight--

Hey!

Let's go! Now! Come!

Damn.

How will we get across?

- I'm sorry, Menziwa. - Don't you dare!

I'm sure the cattle are safe in the kraal, Baba.

What are you doing? Can't you see how bad the river is?

I think I can get across. Tell the men to fix the bridge,

so I can cross with the cattle when I return.

Take this. You will need it, my son.

Are you sure that you want to do this?

I will see you when I return.

- Sephamola! - Yes, sir.

- Fetch the tractor! - Let's go, men!

With many logs.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Menziwa, show yourselves!

Let's move!

Let's go!

I'm tired of your attitude. Move!

Let's go!

Let's go! Move!

Move!

Let's go! Move!

Let's go!

Hurry up! Tie it! Tie it! Tie it! Tie it!

Make sure it holds!

Tie it there! Tie it! Tie it!

Goodness.

My son...

what you did proved that you are a real man.

Hm. Were you worried about me?

Who? Me?

I don't worry.

Sir!

- Sir. - Who's chasing you?

We have a new calf.

- It's too soon for her to give birth. - The storm must've scared her.

- Bring my gloves. - Yes, sir.

Yes, let's head there. Let's go.

Oh man!

Nxa, dammit.

If I was an enemy, you'd be dead.

Nxa, you idiot.

Sefofane.

I was about to shatter it.

How, when you have been missing it?

- Get out of here. - Listen, Tlali.

Go home and get ready for tonight. Don't bring that AK-47 to the raid.

Why?

What do you mean "why" when you can't even use it?

I don't want to argue with you. Go home.

Nxa.

My beautiful Ntshangase.

Menziwa.

You've brought so much joy into my heart, Sihle.

Make me a man amongst men.

Please be my wife.

Allow me to make you the queen of...

My heart is yours, Sihle, and that's how it will always be.

Yes.

- I love you. - I love you too.

- No, let it ring. - It's my dad.

- Can I tell him? - Don't you dare.

I'll tell him the right way.

Oh.

My girl, I have great news.

Baba, you too?

Oh. What do you mean by "me too"?

I was just talking to my friend, Phumzile. Sorry.

What is the good news?

My girl,

you're a mother now.

Is Qhwalikhithikili alive?

Oh, she's as fit as a fiddle.

I was so sure something bad was going to happen,

but the queen is still standing. She is alive.

She's strong.

Mm. Oh my G**, I wish I was there.

When will you be back, my girl?

I’m coming home this evening, Baba.

- Oh, tonight? - Yes, tonight, Baba.

That's good. I'll see you tonight then.

Okay, thank you, Baba. Thank you.

I hate you.

Boss.

The men will be here any moment now. Are you ready?

- Leruo! - Ma, he's not coming with us today.

Who?

I'm talking about Tlali, Ma.

He's still struggling to use a gun.

He's your cousin. Teach him.

I don't have time for that.

I need men who know what they're doing.

Tlali is a Ts'eole.

And family look after each other.

He may be family, but he'll get us all killed.

My son...

your father promised to train him.

Now that falls on you.

Take that and run with it.

Ma, Tlali is a child.

Then train him to be a man, Leruo.

Honour your family.

Honour your father.

- Gentlemen. - Yes.

Tonight, we'll ride our horses with difficulty!

- Yes! - In the cold rain,

- we'll ride across the border. - Yes.

- We'll face the fury of Zulu guns. - Yes.

- We'll risk our lives. - Yes.

All of us, are about to do what men do, and being a man is hard.

Our lives will be in danger.

As we all stand here...

we're all fathers with families.

We're not little boys.

By the crack of dawn...

we would've shaved off the Zulus' beards.

I want us to take them by surprise.

- Let the aeroplane fly! - Let it fly!

- Let the aeroplane fly! - Let it fly!

- Let it fly! - Let it fly!

- Let's go, men! - Let it fly!

Let it fly! Let it fly! Let it fly! Let it fly! Let it fly!

- Wait, you actually swam? - My love, I had no choice.

When I looked at Menziwa, I realised I was going to drown.

I wouldn't make it home.

Oh, you should've seen him when he returned.

He looked like Moses parting the Red Sea.

Wait, Baba. When did you see Moses part the Red Sea?

- I saw him today, there he is. - Here's Moses!

What's so funny?

Oh, the vacationer is back.

No, don't say that. Don't tease my child,

because you haven't been on holiday in a long time.

Your travels made you miss the birth of your child.

Oh my goodness, how does it look?

It looks like Sihle! Sihle, It looks like you.

Oh goodness, how's Auntie's beautiful girl?

Oh, I forgot you only speak when you see money. There you go.

That's right. She needs money to speak!

- So much money. - She loves money.

No. Is it just me or are you glowing?

- Glowing, Ma? - Yes.

- No, I was born like this. - Really?

Uhm, now that you've mentioned it, my love,

- I can see it now. - Can you see it?

Yes, she sounded like this on the phone as well.

Okay, come out with it. What's going on?

- Are you pregnant? - Ma!

Goodness, I'm just asking.

Okay, but if Kwanele gets mad at me, I'll tell him that you forced me.

- Ooh! - Goodness.

It's beautiful. Baby.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Are you married?

No, Baba. I'm getting married.

Kwanele wants to do things the right way.

You'll be receiving a letter from his family soon.

Oh.

Okay.

My love, do you remember when I sent a letter to your family?

Oh, you only brought it because you were forced!

I was forced by love. You must be kidding.

- It's beautiful. - Very beautiful.

- Oh my. Is it not heavy? - No.

- I'm happy for you. - You see now, my boy.

- Yes? - Your sister...

Oh, my goodness.

- She seems at peace. - Ah.

Giving birth is exhausting, Sihle.

Oh, says the man.

What do you mean by that? I was running around day and night.

I didn't sleep. When she cried, I cried too.

- I felt her pain. - Wow. My goodness.

My son, you'll never win this one. Forget it.

Just let it go. Let it go.

Leave me alone. When are you having a baby?

I've been meaning to ask you this.

Even the cow beat you to it. You're old.

The years are flying by and I want to be an uncle. Have a baby.

Well, this is none of my business.

I’m off to bed.

You see? You've chased Baba away.

No, don't worry, my girl.

I'll be waiting for a letter from the Dlamini family.

I'll pretend I don't know anything about it when it arrives,

because you've made it clear that we should act oblivious.

- Hm. - Yes.

Goodnight, Menziwa.

Hm.

What's wrong?

I'm just thinking.

I see that you'll be marrying into the Dlamini family.

I don't know how things will go once you get there, but...

I have one question.

Are you sure that you'll be able to live without Baba?

Why does everyone think I’m a daddy's girl?

Hm? Everyone?

Yeah, goodnight.

Goodnight.

- Did you drive all the way here? - Yes.

I wanted to make sure you hadn't changed your mind.

Nothing will make me change my mind.

Good. Remember to act like nothing happened.

- Yes, yes. - No, Sihle.

You promised that you wouldn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

No, my love.

Ma thought I was pregnant. What did you expect me to say?

What did Menziwa say?

I'm joking. He said he'd act surprised

when he receives the letter.

Remind me, why do I love you so much?

Because I'm your happiness.

- Go, before they see you. - Bye-bye.

I'll see you soon. Bye.

Sir, why are you doing this to me? I've been waiting.

Open the gate.

Come.

Mafafa. Are you sleeping again?

One day, our boss will catch you and it won't end well.

Mafafa!

Goodness.

This can't be.

Boss! Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Boss!

- What's going on? - Boss.

The cattle, Boss! They're all gone.

Sephamola, speak clearly. How are they all gone?

They're all gone.

It's the bloody Sothos.

Come, gentlemen. Gather around! Gather around!

Sephamola! Get in that car.

- Did you call the police? - They're on their way.

I don't know why I bother. Let's go!

Dammit. Somebody sounded the alarm.

Gentlemen over there, lead the herd to the Lesotho mountains.

The ones here will fight the enemy with me. All of you.

I want to stay.

Tlali, I said everyone on that end must go.

Let's go!

Let's go, men!

We have to get these Sothos wherever they are! They can't get away!

Let's get them before they disappear into the mountains,

because our cars won't reach there!

There they are, Baba! There are those a***oles!

- There they are! - There are the a***oles!

Let's go, men!

- Is everyone okay? - We're fine.

- Are you all okay? - Yes!

Let's get our herd back!

We're real Zulus!

Don't waste your bullets.

We need to stop them from reaching the mountains.

Let's go, men!

Move! Move!

Come!

Tlali! Come back here. Tlali!

Let them die! Let them die!

Where are you going, Tlali? Come back.

Bring it on, you Zulus! Bring it on!

They're trying to hold us back, so the others run off with the herd.

You two will stay here, it's safe.

You and I will attack them from the side.

I will show you what I'm made of! Alone!

Let them die!

Tlali!

Let's go.

Move!

Move!

Move!

Move!

Move.

Let's go, men.

Move!

Oh.

It looks like you've been shot.

Let me see.

Move!

The bullet went in,

and came out the other end.

It's because you've lost your mind.

Tlali, go home.

Please forgive me. I'm sorry.

Listen up, men!

Let's leave these Zulus, the herd is home!

- Let's go, boss! - Let's go.

- Let's get them! - Let's get them, guys!

Let's get them! Let's get them!

Let's get them! Let's get them!

Why are we stopping, Menziwa?

Let's go.

It's over, son.

They're on horseback,

and we are on foot.

Please don't give up.

Who said anything about giving up?

If those Sotho b***ards want to start a war,

then that's what they'll get!
