Original subtitles

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

Sefofane, you're the best in these mountains.

Do you hear me? Fetch those men so we can work.

I want us to head to the Free State.

Sephamola, where are you going?

Sephamola!

Sephamola!

We'll get back everything we've lost.

Let's take it nice and easy, boys.

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

Zaqhe...

Nkomishi.

Zaqheqhe.

Bandile.

- Zaqheqhe. - Bandile.

- Nkomishi. - Bandile.

You're having a bad dream.

What's wrong? Who's Zaqheqhe and Nkomishi?

What's wrong?

- Are you okay? - It's my father's cattle.

They were infected by the disease.

Do you think...

How many do you think are infected?

I'm married, Detective.

Bandile, don't you think I know that?

Hm? Did I say I'm moving in?

Did I say we'd get married and have kids?

I didn't say that, right?

I just wanted to make things clear,

from the beginning because as time goes by,

- there may be confusions. - Just as confused as you are.

- Hm? - Hm?

It's not like I want more than this.

Hm.

- Hm? - I have to go,

check on the cattle.

- I'll leave you some coffee. - No, no.

Don't leave me coffee.

If you do that, I'll assume that I can move in.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

You're back.

Goodness.

- Mom. - Yes, my child.

I've never seen anything like this since I was born.

Ever since I was born.

- Ever. - Ever.

- Goodness. - What did I tell you?

I told you that you don't know anything.

Ask my father.

The raiders and I worked hard,

- and covered all angles, - Okay.

but he did most of the work alone.

Oh my son, I'm so happy you've sorted yourself out,

and that you're back on the saddle.

- I wonder who I was kidding. - Imagine. Imagine.

- Honestly speaking. - Yes, Dad.

- Just being honest. - Hmm.

- Hey, Leruo. - Yes.

- Actually, you're better, - Honestly.

than I was at your age.

- Oh, Dad. - Seriously.

- Thank you, Grandfather. - Goodness.

Ma, let me tell you what Grandfather did.

- What did he do? - No, no, no.

Hey, no! What are you doing?

Don't tell her. What's wrong with you?

- Tell me, my boy. - Grandfather

will never see heaven. No ways.

What did he do?

They're going to close the gates on him.

He won't make it in.

Dad, what did you do?

- Let me tell you. - Yes.

He made one of the farmers dance.

He was so confused.

- Dad. - He didn't know what was going on.

Looks like you didn't get any sleep last night.

Yes.

They all came down with a fever.

That was expected.

But Boss,

- I thought that... - No.

No, Sephamola.

I need your help.

Please do this for me.

I don't think I have the strength,

or courage to do it.

Yes, get some more. I made all this food for you.

Mmm, your cooking skills are still amazing.

- Mm-hm? - I thought they may have disappeared.

What would cause that? Do I look like the type?

- Goodness. - It could happen

because Umchamo Wemfene,

- and his wife... - Goodness,

are you walking past us just like that?

Do we look like statues?

Oh, we're not invisible, my boy.

You can't just walk past like you can't see us.

Is there something we need to discuss?

How are the cattle?

Is that...

Has it spread that bad?

Yes.

You see, Nephew,

your problem is you trust these bloody Sothos too much,

when we're here, as your family.

Oh, that's true though.

Don't you think they poisoned the cattle?

- Yes. - Why would Sephamola do that?

Oh, have you forgotten what made you an orphan?

Hm? These people aren't your friends,

they're your enemies. Don't forget that.

Why are you still keeping this boy? Why don't you fire him?

Why don't you just fire that Sotho b***ard?

Because that's the first thing your father would've done.

He was a real leader.

- Uncle. - He was born for it.

- Uncle, Uncle. - This virus that attacked,

- Uncle! Uncle! - wouldn't have made it,

- Uncle! Uncle! - to the farm.

I'm tired of you two!

You scold me for every mistake I make!

I'm tired of you two!

I've never claimed to be better than my father.

I've never claimed to be better than Menziwa, but I'm trying.

Instead of just sitting there like you, I'm trying.

If I get defeated,

it will be while facing my challenges.

Auntie...

Your mother is so tight-lipped about,

what happened with your Zulu girlfriend.

- Oho. - Hm.

Did she tell you about the Zulu farmers Tlali killed?

Yes, she did.

- Those were her parents. - What?

- Yes. - Goodness.

Is there a future there?

Even if we don't have a future, I could make it happen.

- Hm. - But...

There are no "buts", man.

Life never works out the way we want it to.

It never does. People fool themselves into,

thinking we control what happens in life,

and we make the final decisions.

But I'm telling you, no matter what,

that's not the case.

- At all. - Oh.

Grandfather, you're confusing me. What are you trying to say?

Listen, let me explain.

You and...

- your Zulu girlfriend. - Yes.

It's just that...

You have no idea what brought you together,

to be together as one.

This thing,

that has become an enormous wedge, between the two of you...

Oh well...

One day when you least expect it, it will be gone.

Completely gone.

Hey. Hey, Leruo.

Let's go grab some beers.

Let's just get sloshed.

- Yes. - Thank ourselves.

- Thank ourselves. - That's right.

Dad, I've been waiting for these people for an hour.

They'll get here.

When, Dad?

I won't tolerate this behaviour, Dad.

They'll call me the bad guy, when they made me that way.

Hm.

It's time to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.

These b***ards need to be taught a lesson.

They can't forget who you are.

These men have families to feed.

- Hm. - They'll get here.

If these people won't show me respect,

then they won't get anything from me.

Yes, my love. Don't give them a single dime.

That'll teach them.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

Hey, Man. Have you forgotten who I am?

Not at all, sir.

We have a problem.

All the raiders have joined Leruo's crew again.

- Are you hearing yourself? - I'm telling the truth.

Dad, are you hearing this boy?

I'm not joking.

All the raiders have turned on us.

Get out of here. Don't make me laugh.

Why are you making me laugh like this? Huh?

I'm trying to believe,

that there's a reason for you to leave us in such a cruel way.

You weren't supposed to leave me with so much responsibility.

Okhabeni is falling apart.

I'm struggling.

I don't know if I can do this, Baba.

The job you taught me when I was a boy.

I can't take care of my wife.

I failed to protect her and my daughter.

Please show me the way.

I'm begging you.

Sephamola.

Boss, the vet is here.

Hm.

- Oh, sir. - How are you, my brother?

I'm well and you?

- I'm well. - Okay.

I know that you're a busy man.

Thank you for making this your priority.

What do you have for me?

Honestly, I don't have good news for you.

Hm.

Is it the whole herd?

Out of the three hundred cattle we've tested,

nine of them were infected.

At the rate this virus is spreading,

it's possible for the entire herd to be infected already.

I'm sorry. I wish I had good news for you.

Can I see the list, if you don't mind?

Can I see?

Oh, can you see that Zaqheqhe and Nkomishi aren't here?

Thank goodness.

All the infected cattle were isolated this morning, Boss.

Hm.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes.

Clearly we were able to contain the virus before it spread.

If all the cattle that are infected were in one group,

then you were right.

I'll go check all of them.

Thank you, brother. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Great work. Thank you very much.

- Hm, go ahead. - Keep well.

- Thank you. - Alright.

- Keep well. - You can carry on with your work.

Boss, in that case,

we need to grab a good bottle and drink.

As if you need a reason to drink, Sephamola.

I don't want to remember my name tomorrow morning.

We should go down there and see if we can't return with...

Oh, go ahead, Sephamola.

This is a very important day.

I want to celebrate in a special way.

Piss off. Stay out of my business.

- Piss off. Piss off. - Boss!

Yes, that's right.

Yes.

- Hm. - Would you like something to drink?

- I'm fine. - Oh, okay.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you.

Where's the owner of this toy?

Probably making a mess like this one.

Listen,

- can she spend the night? - No, there you go again, Bandile.

I miss her. I haven't seen her in a week.

- What if something happens to her? - No, nothing will happen.

It's been a week since the Sothos came to Bergville.

I'll increase security to make sure she's safe.

If need be, I'll sleep in her room.

No, you'll wake up sore from that arm chair.

That farm isn't safe. It's just not safe.

I'm not leaving without my child.

- What if she doesn't want to go? - Let her decide.

She's scared and I don't blame her.

Listen...

I thought I was dreaming when I heard your voice.

No, you weren't dreaming. I'm right here.

Ma, can I go to the farm?

- Ma, I'm begging you. - Please, we're begging you.

Okay, Baby. You can go pack.

Don't forget your slippers, okay?

Are you okay?

Listen,

nobody will hurt my princess while I'm here.

Okay?

They are wrong, my love.

They don't deserve your leadership at all.

Those idiots, nxa.

This is why I don't like working with people.

I don't like nonsense.

As if you haven't given them what Leruo couldn't.

As for that idiot my bloodline was cursed with...

I'm telling you. He thinks he's the man.

He's been in hiding and just rocks up,

to disrupt me and my business.

Calm down. His time will come.

The time is now.

You know what? I want to blow his brains out,

all over his mother's lap.

Wait, so you just want to go there and kill him?

- Do you want to see? - Not at all, but listen, baby.

We need to think about this carefully.

Hm? We need a foolproof plan,

to get Leruo out of our way.

Nyakallo, how many times has he made a fool of me?

How many times has he disrespected me?

Tlali, hear me out.

I'm not disagreeing with you, my love.

I can hear you talking,

but I don't know where you're going with this.

I want to kill him and his witch of a mother.

This is the last time he's made a mockery of me.

Clearly he doesn't know who he's dealing with.

Tlali,

tell me.

What will you gain from his death?

Hm?

Look, I'm done with this.

Let's go have drinks at the tavern.

We'll come up with a dangerous plan,

of how to do away with Leruo and his b**** of a mother.

Let's go. Do you have the money?

- I have it on me. - Okay, let's go.

After the heavy rains had subsided,

the community emerged.

They were happy.

They gathered at the King's hall

where he usually met with his subjects.

They came to thank him,

because they realised that the king they had,

was suitable for the throne.

He was protected by the ancestors.

Wait, what happened to the queen?

The queen was there.

You know that the queen is always close to the king.

Hm, just like you and Ma.

Yes, just like me and your mother.

Do you read Ma bedtime stories?

No, your mother is too old for bedtime stories.

No, she loves your voice. Don't you know that?

I heard her telling Auntie Nox.

She's never told me.

Thanks for the story. Can we read it again tomorrow?

- Oh. - I like it when you make rain sounds.

Hm, okay.

Okay.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Let me tuck you in.

Goodness, Baba. What are you doing?

Oh, I want to stay here and look after the princess.

To make sure that she's safe.

- Okay. - Goodnight.

I'm not in the mood for this idiotic accordion player.

Hey, a**hole.

Why did this b***ard stop playing? You piece of s***.

- Hey, you. - Let's go.

You've got some nerve showing your face here!

Hey, you don't own this place.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Hey, you! Who do you think you are?

Touch him again and I'll castrate you.

You b***ard!

I'm going to wipe the floor with your face.

Get your hands off my husband.

Come baby, come.

You'll all curse the days you were born.

- I'm going to beat you up, dirty dog. - Piss off!

- You're going to shit! - You're the one who'll shit!
