Original subtitles

I didn't ask Nolwandle to leave.

But the love you share with Nolwandle,

if there's anyway to fix this, then do it.

There's too much bloodshed there, Bandile.

I can't come back.

Did you kill Katse, Koata and Kubu?

Get the hell out of here. Piss off!

Listen here, you piece of trash.

You're going to stop the s*** you're causing, do you hear me?

You know that Leruo's going to come after you, right?

Who? I'll shoot his head clear off his neck.

Grandad, how do I fight this person alone? I'm alone.

I'm here and I'm still strong. I'm a real man.

I can ride with you and support you.

This one is also 42 degrees.

There must be something we can do.

You know very well that these cattle will catch pneumonia.

They will die.

I'm sorry for bringing Galakajane back into the yard.

Sephamola...

you're sorry?

My father's entire herd could die and you're sorry?

Because of your stupidity?

As I said, Grandfather, Natal is a no-go area.

- Hm. - If we had to go there,

we'd need to have more weapons. More than before.

- That's true, my son. - Honestly.

What did Malichaba say? She said her son told her that

the Zulus are teaching their children how to use weapons.

I don't believe anything that woman says.

You know, a great cattle raider,

- is never out of tricks. At all. - Hm.

Yes, I agree with you, but we have to face facts.

- It's really bad this time. Honestly. - Hm.

- This time. - Leruo...

when your well runs completely dry,

- what do you do? - Dad...

Dad, I know you. What plan are you cooking up in your head?

Leruo, have you been to the Free State?

- No. - Okay.

It's time to prepare for a brand new adventure.

It's time to prepare for a brand new adventure.

This old man.

Hm-mm.

You know what, man?

We've never experienced this in Okhabeni.

- You did well by separating them, - Hm.

because this disease spreads quickly.

Goodness. When you checked them,

do you think they have the disease?

Sometimes symptoms take a while to show.

Hm.

We have to run more tests so we can be sure.

- Go ahead. - Are these the only ones?

No, I'll call someone to take you to the other kraal.

I need you to check all of them.

Hey man, doing blood tests,

on over three hundred cattle isn't cheap. Will you be able to pay me?

It's useless having money

and not investing it in what brings you income.

- Spoken like a true man. Let's work. - Hm.

- Yes, sir. - Where's Sephamola?

He isn't in the yard.

He isn't there? What do you mean he isn't here?

He took all his belongings and left.

- Excuse me, sir. - Hm.

- You can continue. - Okay, no problem.

How many have you had?

It's the seventh one,

but if you continue staring at me, it'll feel like my second one.

Hey, man. I took that on credit.

That doesn't matter.

You'll pay for it when we come from a cattle raid in the Free State.

Hey, in the Free State?

I thought you said you'd never raid again.

No, I had stopped, but I'm back.

I realised there's nothing else I can do besides this.

Hm.

The way my sister laughed at me when she saw me return from Gauteng.

I ended up living with her that side.

Sefofane, you're the best in these mountains. Do you hear me?

Fetch those men so we can work.

Hey man, that's music to my ears.

Let's do this.

Tell me, what do you need me to do?

Do you know what we need?

A meeting with the crew tomorrow morning.

Call a meeting for tomorrow morning.

Then we'll take it from there.

My brother, you won't struggle while I am alive.

The solid winged bird. The real Sefofane.

The real Sefofane. Let it fly!

Sefofane!

You see, I've seen idiots, but you take the cake.

Everything you touch rots.

Sephamola! Hey, Sephamola!

Sephamola!

Sephamola, where are you going?

Sephamola!

Sephamola!

We are supposed to be making money, not wait for you here.

Gentlemen, forgive me for being late.

Thank you for coming.

Tell us, why are we here?

I know things haven't been the same since I left

and Tlali became your new leader.

You all know what he wants and what he's hungry for.

He's one of a kind,

but he's never deserted us.

Because of Tlali, we can put food on the table.

We can even take our children to school.

Are you telling me that as long as you can take your children to school,

you'd steal from your own people?

Tell me, what did you expect us to do? Huh?

Starve because of loyalty? Never.

Gentlemen, why are you allowing Tlali

to turn you into thugs when you're not?

Gentlemen, I know that desperate times call for desperate measures,

but you aren't thugs, you're raiders.

- Geez. - What are you trying to say,

because you're not one of us anymore.

Gentlemen, I'm a man and I have a family.

This is all I know.

Even so, I wouldn't steal from my people.

I'd never hurt my people. Never.

We hear you, man,

but the Zulus are making everything extremely difficult.

That's why I called you all here.

I want us to head to the Free State,

and stop going to KZN.

What about Tlali?

What does he have to do with anything? Gentlemen.

My people, let's meet tonight. We're clear, right?

Let's meet tonight and we'll see. Right, gentlemen?

- Right? - Okay.

- Let's go. - Let's go, gentlemen.

Sephamola!

Hey!

Sephamola!

Are you crazy?

Huh? Why are you running?

I don't want to be the eleventh cow you kill.

Huh? Do you think the cattle's lives are more important than yours?

I've cost you your herd, why would you spare my life?

Listen, brother.

I wasn't supposed to speak to you in that way. I'm sorry.

You're not here to finish me off?

Nxa, geez. I'm here to take you home. Let's go.

Thank you, Boss, for sparing my life, but...

Okhabeni is no longer my home.

Are you deserting me too?

Boss, I don't want to be a reminder of what you lost.

Sephamola. You know that we'll always lose cattle, but you...

you're like a brother to me.

Families fight, but they always forgive each other, brother.

I'm sorry.

I'm begging you, brother.

Sihle left me.

Nolwandle left with my daughter,

and I don't trust my uncle. I tried, but I don't trust him and his wife.

Now if you leave me, who will I run to?

Boss, I thought...

I was just a Sotho farm worker that ended up in your yard.

No, there's no such thing.

Do you remember when my dad brought you home?

I knew that he brought me the brother I never had.

I'm begging you. I'm going through a lot, you know that.

Please support me.

Thank you. Thank you, brother.

We'll get back everything we've lost.

Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go home.

Look at this Sotho knucklehead.

Huh?

Grab your bags.

Is this our welcome?

Why did you bring him back here,

when you know he brought the disease that threatens my brother's cattle?

It came with this Sotho rat.

Uncle, it was a mistake and we all need to fix it.

Goodness, are you hearing yourself? A mistake?

Hey you, traitor!

Hey, did your Sotho people send you, to ruin us,

so you can steal the farm? Is that your plan?

You should see him walking around here, on my family farm.

He knows the cattle by name like he owns them.

You can see his true intentions.

Sephamola, snap out of it.

Go check what's happening up there.

I could just slap him silly!

What kind of person is this?

Listen, Bandile, call the police.

He did this on purpose.

I need you to both leave him alone. Please.½

Wow.

You know, sometimes I get you, then I don't.

- Your thought process confuses me-- - You don't have to understand me.

Aunty, you don't have to understand me. I know what I'm doing.

- Oh, wow. - I've been taking care of this farm

- without you. - Tell me, Nephew.

How much damage has been caused?

I'm not a vet, I don't know.

I've called people to check what the cattle have and how many they are.

Then I'll tell you how many we've lost. I don't know.

That's thousands of rands.

Goodness, we're going to lose such a big farm.

You know what? Call Dumisani and sell the farm.

Get rid of it before it's too late.

That's right. It will be our secret as a family.

That won't happen. I won't do that. I won't sell the farm.

Your wife left you because she could see that it's getting bad.

- Uncle. - Oh no.

- Uncle. - No, no.

- Uncle, Uncle. - I want to explain it to you.

- She means that-- - Wait, let me finish.

What I'm trying to say is this ship is sinking,

and the captain is failing.

You're too harsh, baby.

No, Nephew, you've disappointed me.

We're not done. We're not done.

Come back. Don't you want to walk under the umbrella?

- Sefofane. - Sefofane.

- Let him fly. - Let him fly.

- Sefofane. - Sefofane.

- Let him fly. - Let him fly.

Sefofane.

I hope we're on time.

Thank you all for making it on time.

Thank you for taking responsibility and showing that you're men.

- Let him fly! - Sefofane.

- Let him fly. - Let him fly.

Hey, Moshoeshoe's descendants!

If you sleep, you'll miss them!

They're like ghosts in the dark.

Let him fly!

- Sefofane! - Let him fly!

Let him fly!

- Sefofane! - Let's go, gentlemen.

Goodness.

Are you also happy to see me?

You scared me. Huh.

You nearly gave me a heart attack.

Hey, Sephamola.

What language are you speaking with my cattle?

They don't understand Sotho.

Boss, they're very clever.

They know very well that South Africa has many different languages.

It's not just Zulu.

Sephamola, tell me.

Are they showing any symptoms?

No, Boss.

Even Montlenyana finished her food.

That's a relief.

Let's pray it stays that way.

Well, Boss, I'll sleep with them tonight and check for any problems.

That's not necessary.

Hopefully the vet...

I hope he brings us good news.

- Hm. - Yes.

Tell me, Boss, what does Nolwandle think about this?

Boss, what will happen if we find out

that the entire herd is affected by the disease?

That would put me in a difficult position.

I'll be forced to get rid of the farm.

Brother,

I want to thank you.

For not abandoning me in this situation. For coming back home.

I don't know how I would face this without you.

I hear you, but...

Uncle and Aunt'Deli aren't happy that I'm here.

No, they can piss off.

Leave them to me. I know them. He's my father.

All you have to do is give him money.

- That's true. - Goodness.

Detective.

Yes.

I understand.

- I'll see you, man. - Bye, Boss.

Grandfather, if we go that way, we'll be able to get in.

The door to where they sleep is that side.

Okay.

What we'll need to do is...

I'll go in and you guys stay behind.

No. No.

That's not how it's done. I'll go in alone.

Grandfather, we won't do that.

Hey, it's safer that way.

They'll just think that I'm just a mad man.

How many cattle are in there?

There are a hundred of them. How will you handle them alone?

Do you know who I am?

Look here, you'll stay behind, I'm going in.

It'll take 30 minutes. I'll be right back.

Stay here, you'll see.

Tseko, where are you going?

Hey, man. He shouldn't go alone.

He isn't a liar.

Leruo, times have changed.

He's not a young man anymore. It's dangerous.

He's been doing this for a long time.

Without a gun or a horse. He did it alone.

Don't tell me about this. He knows what he's doing.

Oh no, Detective.

He should be back by now.

Let's take it nice and easy, boys.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go. That's right.

Come, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

That's right, that's right. That's right, that's right.

That's right, that's right. That's right, that's right.

What did I tell you?
