I tried getting hold of him.

I've even tried calling from a different number, but nothing.

This is a surprise.

Is that Tlali?

Tlali.

- What's my name? - You're a real man.

- What's my name? - It's you.

Me and my son Tlali, have started our own crew of raiders.

I thought it best to come to our elders,

to get blessings for what we've done.

We have to pay our dues.

A Sotho man knows best.

That's why I have to do this, my elders.

We can continue with the decision we've made.

No doubts this time?

I'll sell my father's farm.

You know what?

You'll respect this house. Whether you like it or not.

No, this thing of you gallivanting all night,

and coming back drunk and loud in the wee hours of the morning.

It stops today. Are we clear?

And you? Did you lose something?

Wait a minute. We're family.

I'm going to count to three.

Hey man, talk before I wring your neck.

- I'm not here to fight. - Two.

Wait, wait. Wait a minute.

There's something I want to discuss.

So please lend me your ears.

- He's disrespectful. - Hey, hey, hey!

There'll be no fighting, in front of me.

You.

Speak up. I don't have time for stupid games.

Hey, man.

Do you think it's beautiful?

What are you doing here?

Don't you want us to wait for your mother?

Do you know that my father is part of the Top Four now?

We're making a lot of money.

My crew is expanding.

What hurts me, is doing this without you.

Especially now that you and your mother are struggling.

Can you hear the s*** that's coming out of your mouth?

Here's ten thousand.

There's more to come.

What s*** is this? Nxa.

Talk some sense into him.

I was just trying to help.

Sihle, as your older brother,

I made it my duty to make sure that you're always safe.

I failed.

Sephamola and I searched for the people,

that did this to you,

but we did not find them.

Our backs are against the wall.

I think we should sell the farm.

Bandile,

what are you saying?

Sis, the bullet that shot you...

those people came to kill me. That bullet was meant for me.

I'm the reason they came here.

I know that as long as I'm alive,

and everyone is still here at the farm,

all your lives will be at risk.

Okay.

If that's what you've decided to do,

I'll support you.

You'll be moving out soon, right?

You've chosen to live with the Dlaminis.

I know that you'll be safe there.

Oh, shouldn't you be in bed, Sihle?

We're selling the farm.

- Oh, se-- seriously? - Living here isn't safe.

I'm sorry to hear that, Sihle.

I see you're putting on lip gloss and packing.

What's going on? Where are you going?

I'm going to look for Leruo.

What do you mean, Sihle?

Goodness, shouldn't you be in bed?

I'm taking her in for her check-up.

- Oh, a check-up? - Yes.

Did I miss something because I don't remember you or the doctor

speaking about a check-up.

I completely forgot about it, Nolwandle.

Thank God for Phumzile.

We forgot. Yes, we forgot.

Oh, thank you, Phumzile.

Can we go?

Yes.

Thank God for Phumzile.

- Let me hold that for you. - Thank you.

Yes, my boy.

Baba.

Tell me,

have you decided on a wedding date?

I'm talking to you. Don't ignore me.

Sihle is still recovering, Baba.

I don't want to put her under pressure.

No, don't be such a woman.

You should have the final say.

I hear you, Sibal'khulu.

You know...

I think there's a way to speed up the process.

The truth is, he's working with most of our crew.

I don't know where the rest are or who they're with or how.

Leruo,

do you see that us refusing help is hurting us?

We gave Tlali an opportunity.

Let's hope he's doing this for us.

Mama, Tladi is a satanic being.

He deserves to rot in jail.

I'm telling you.

Leruo...

right now, no one wants to work with you.

All these people think that you are trying to take their jobs.

I'm not going back there.

What are you trying to say? What are you trying to say, Leruo?

This isn't just stealing cattle anymore.

We aren't just stealing cattle. We're killing people now. Hurting them.

Do you see what falling for that Zulu girl did?

- It's not about that. - No.

Where are you going? Sit down.

Leruo.

Do you see this opportunity?

Do you see it?

Mama, you know I love and respect you--

Your father was a raider.

His father, his grandfather

and his great grandfather were raiders, my child.

You're also a raider.

Are we clear?

Thank you, Makoti.

Are you sure you don't want scones? They're fresh.

- Not today, my child. - Oh, okay.

- Thanks, my love. - Makoti...

please sit down.

- Come closer. - You don't mind if

she joins us to discuss what we spoke about yesterday?

Oh, no.

We don't have secrets.

It sounds serious, Baba.

No, my child. Relax.

It's nothing serious. I heard you want to sell the farm.

It's not safe here anymore.

It wasn't an easy decision to make.

Hey, you can say that again, my boy.

Especially with the market depreciating.

An estate agent says we won't even get ten million for the farm.

Mm.

Wait a minute.

How about I give you five million in cash now,

and after two or three years, I'll give you ten million?

You want to buy the farm?

Do you think I should stand by and fold my arms,

while my friend's farm which he worked hard for, is sold for peanuts?

Take the money,

and go to Durban.

Buy a big house for your family.

What makes me happy is you'll be safe there.

You can manage one of my businesses in Durban.

I don't even know what to say.

You don't have to say anything, my boy.

We're family now.

Family stays together and loves each other.

Family helps each other. We unite and become one.

Thank you, Baba.

Sorry for keeping you waiting, ladies.

There you go.

Work on the farm never ends.

I understand why you opted to be a doctor.

Work at the hospital never ends either.

Yes, people are always sick.

Oh, this is my friend Phumzile. We work at the hospital together.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to pay my respects,

after your parents' passing.

Don't worry about it.

I'm actually here looking for one of your workers.

- Leruo. - Leruo?

- Yes. - There's no Leruo here.

Maybe he goes by another name.

Are you sure he never worked here?

No, I don't know this person. Why are you looking for him?

- What has he done? - He's one of her patients.

Oh, maybe he went back to Lesotho,

because he's undocumented.

Let's go.

My friend, is your cousin crazy?

Has he lost his mind?

Does he think he can flaunt his stolen money?

What does he think he's doing?

Let me tell you, my friend.

Your cousin is a special breed.

Tlali is prone to mess up.

His crew will leave him.

My friend, I hear what you're saying. Right now,

there's no way I'll steal cattle again. No matter what.

I'm done.

Hey man, are you certain?

I'm telling you the truth.

My brother, I want to start my life.

I want to start a new life in the right way.

I want to go far away from here. Get away from here.

Where do you want to go?

I wish I knew where to start,

but I want to get away from here and stop stealing cattle.

Mm.

Listen here, my friend.

Do you remember my cousin, who works at the mines in Gauteng?

Addington.

He can get me a job there.

Hey man, can he find a job for two people?

- Leruo, are you serious? - Call Addington.

When you're done, get in the house and pack your bags.

Pack your bags, my friend. While I'm here.

- Should we hit the road? - Let's go.

Let's head to Gauteng. Right now.

Mam'Deli's tea was delicious.

I just said give me some.

You really didn't have to come all the way here, Phumzile.

No man, I don't mind.

I warned you against this Sotho man.

There was something off about him. Why did he have to lie?

He was trying to protect himself.

Oh, if this man can lie about working at Russel Farm,

I wonder what else he's lied to you about.

Should I even ask?

He said he lived in Mokhotlong.

Whatever. So what if he stays there?

Where are you going, Sihle?

No, Sihle.

Tell me you're joking.

What are you doing? Why are you packing?

I have to do this, Phumzile.

Or I'll spend the rest of my life, wondering what could've been.

Have you forgotten that you're recovering from a gunshot wound?

I'm a doctor.

Even though you're a doctor, I'm your friend.

Don't force me to tell Bandile about your plans.

Are you threatening me?

No, I'm not threatening you.

I don't understand why you won't let this madness go.

Give me those pants.

Baby, it's rare to find people like Bab'Dumisani these days.

Yes.

His offer is really tempting.

- Right? - Hm.

Baby, I know this is the only home you've ever known.

But as he said, we can visit whenever we want to.

Hm. Hm. Hm. I heard him.

Plus I can put my degree to use in Durban.

He said if I do go to Durban,

he'll give me a job at one of his branches.

You see? I think we should take his offer. What do you think?

Yes.

I'll call him and ask him to come back.

- Hey, man. - Leruo.

Gosh.

Mom.

My son,

why are you in such a hurry? Huh?

What will happen if you get there and there's no work for you?

I don't know what I'd do if...

you're swallowed by the city, like other men.

Mom, you know that you didn't raise a weakling.

You've raised a warrior. Don't worry.

Oh, my son.

Heavenly Father.

Almighty God.

Father, I bring my son before you.

Guide him as he takes this journey to unknown lands.

Sodom and Gomorrah, Father.

Guide and protect him, Father.

If he wants to come home,

guide him until he returns home. Father, we pray.

You're making the right decision.

As hard as it may be, look at it this way.

The money from the sale,

will enrich the family.

A lot.

And your father wouldn't have a problem with this at all.

Uncle.

Yes?

Please go back to the house and tell them that Bab'Dlamini is coming.

We have a meeting.

No problem.

My son, now you're a real farmer.

- You're exaggerating, Menziwa. - I'm serious.

I'm serious, my son.

The tree that we've just planted, will grow.

Once it's grown, it will have a lot of shade.

Your children will sit under the shade,

and be protected from the sun.

Even your grandchildren,

- will be protected from the sun. - And so forth.

And so forth, my son. And so forth.

You see, my son. That's why...

I got this farm.

So my grandchildren can be protected from many things.

Give me the hose pipe.

I hear you.

I'm teaching you, son, that a tree can't go thirsty.

- It must be fed. - A tree must be fed.

It must be watered, my son.

Water it.

One day,

you'll be doing this.

Oh my goodness. Warm me up.

What does a beautiful Zulu girl

want from the Sothos, when we're here?

- I'm visiting a friend. - Hm. Visiting a friend?

Do you know how dangerous this place is?

A pretty girl like you needs our protection.

Can I go?

I wish those animals take pity on you,

and not eat you alive.

Just look at them in that taxi.

- They're coming to steal our cattle. - Hey, bloody fool!

- Hey! - These bloody fools.

- Hey, stop! - Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hello, driver.

- Are you well? - I'm well.

Hand me your passports, gentlemen.

Yours too, young lady.

Hand it over. There we go.

Come, Nolwandle.

Hurry up. Put it there.

- Whoo! There you go. - You'll need a farm manager,

to run the farm successfully.

That's right. My husband knows everything about this farm.

The farm workers love and respect him.

Yes, but we'll have to--

Sihle's not in her room.

Oh, that's weird. I saw her returning from the hospital.

Maybe she went somewhere, she'll be back shortly.

Uh, Sibal'khulu, call her and find out where she is,

and go fetch her right now.

I've tried calling her. Her phone is off.

You know what? I'll go look for her.

Excuse me.

Goodness, Bandile, have you seen your sister?

- Young man. - Bandile.

How are you, Baba?

I've decided not to sell my father's farm.
