1
00:00:00,959 --> 00:00:03,245
Let us at least enjoy
our time here.

2
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:09,124
IfI made love to you, it must
be much more. More than fun.

3
00:00:09,134 --> 00:00:12,046
So you will erase that
woman from your mind.

4
00:00:12,304 --> 00:00:16,593
We have started this together
and we'll finish it together.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,096
You'll make matters worse.

6
00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:21,601
it is as you said.

7
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:23,804
The woman's dangerous.

8
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:26,105
Senzangakhona, my son,

9
00:00:26,401 --> 00:00:30,189
you send me to our ancestors

10
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:31,982
with a lie.

11
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,902
Behold him, who is
your King today.

12
00:00:35,244 --> 00:00:36,700
Zulu!

13
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,739
[crowd cheers]

14
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:43,074
From your womb shall come
the firstborn of a king

15
00:00:44,795 --> 00:00:47,628
giving birth to a mighty nation

16
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:50,213
of blood-stained spears

17
00:00:51,093 --> 00:00:54,551
and thundering like shells.

18
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:59,674

I We are growing higher I

22
00:01:59,161 --> 00:02:02,494
[tribal music playing]

23
00:02:03,332 --> 00:02:06,620
[Henry]The death of Senzangakona's
first son placed Nandi

24
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:10,586
in a much stronger position,
a position which her kinsmen

25
00:02:10,589 --> 00:02:12,125
were determined to pursue.

26
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:15,249
And so it was that an
Elangeni party set out to demand

27
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:19,003
the new Zulu king instate
Nandi as one of his wives

28
00:02:19,014 --> 00:02:22,677
and accept the child
as his son and heir.

29
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:39,440
[tribe chanting]

30
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,677
[Mudli] Baba, they
will arrive tomorrow.

31
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:03,548
The messengers tell me
it's an important party.

32
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:07,471
King Makedama's most important
advisor will accompany them.

33
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,391
Much will be at stake
when they arrive.

34
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:13,060
What do you advise, Mudli?

35
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,727
When the child is
laid in front of us,

36
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,483
we must proclaim the guilt.

37
00:03:19,783 --> 00:03:23,025
You must acknowledge
the child as your own.

38
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,740
Isono.

39
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,990
I thought the king
could do no wrong.

40
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:31,620
Yebo, Baba.

41
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:35,621
You were not yet king when
this wrong was committed.

42
00:03:36,925 --> 00:03:38,540
[speaking Zulu]

43
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:43,672
So, we are to be dictated to
by this girl and her clan?

44
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:47,223
Uh...need I remind you, Baba,

45
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:50,640
we once warned you of
such a possibility.

46
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:54,435
Are you saying this is
your King's fault?

47
00:03:55,277 --> 00:04:00,897
In cases like this... the fault
is seldom shared by many.

48
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:04,024
Mkabayi wishes to
address the King?

49
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:10,952
The way I see it... the
King's hands are tied.

50
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:13,041
He has only two choices,

51
00:04:13,044 --> 00:04:16,582
accept the child and
face ridicule, or...

52
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:19,172
reject it and face
war with Elangeni.

53
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:24,216
I suggest you choose the path
that is best for your people,

54
00:04:25,307 --> 00:04:26,342
Nkosi.

55
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:29,716
Ngiyabonga.

56
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:32,226

[vocalizing]

66
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:41,921

Yes... A boy.

72
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:27,926
You realize there will
be no wedding feast.

73

Ten cattle.

74
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:32,881
That's an insult, Prince.

75
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:36,727
To negotiate lobala here
in front of these people,

76
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:40,439
is an insult to my
daughter and myself.

77
00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:42,603
Since you have chosen
to turn this affair

78
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:46,820
into an open spectacle,
why not take it further?

79
00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:48,530
Fifteen.

80
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:50,691
Fifty-five.

00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:53,402

82
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,405

-Twenty-five! -Fifty- Five.

are worth that much?

I congratulate you, Nandi. You
have left no stone unturned.

Your ruthlessness certainly
belies your womanhood.

Thank you for your
welcome, Mkabayi.

100

know about being a woman?

But still, Nandi, although having
a daughter by the king,

remained with her son, Shaka,

As your father, the
great Jama, suspected,

154
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,037
he is the child of the prophecy.

155
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,878
Do you realize what
you're saying,

156
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:33,796
Yebo Baba, your father felt
it the day of Shaka's birth.

157
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:38,467
That's why he wanted the woman
to die before childbirth.

158
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:39,513
Abulawe!

159
00:17:39,517 --> 00:17:41,553
It was the last
act of his reign.

160
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:45,099
One which, unfortunately,
was of no consequence.

161
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:47,434
But why?

162
00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:49,682
Fear... Fear, Baba,

163
00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:52,982
of what the child would
do to the nation.

164
00:17:53,239 --> 00:17:55,230
It was as the
Prophets predicted...

165
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:58,324
he was born in Untulikazi,
the month of the prophecy.

166
00:17:58,327 --> 00:18:02,821
He was illegitimate... the
condition of the prophecy.

167
00:18:02,832 --> 00:18:04,163
And then his moment of birth

168
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:08,000
coincided with the death of
your principal wife's son.

169
00:18:08,004 --> 00:18:10,086
That, too, is the curse
of the prophecy.

170
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:14,458
[speaking in Zulu]
Witchdoctor's magic.

171
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:19,003
The King's power to
rule over others' lives

172
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:21,006
is, in itself, magical.

173
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:24,638
The witchdoctor's magic
is the king's magic.

174
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:28,513
If he loses it, he
is no longer king.

175
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,273
And, if what you say is true?

176
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:33,939
Then he must be killed. Now...

177
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:34,901
Killed? My only son?

178
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:38,363
Yes, before he's allowed
to start a new era

179
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:43,612
in which the word "amazulu"
will signify terror and death.

180
00:18:44,915 --> 00:18:49,204
If he remains in your house,
your wives will be barren.

181
00:18:49,211 --> 00:18:54,877
Is that not the case, Baba?
Since you met with that woman,

182
00:18:54,884 --> 00:18:58,672
you have but only two
children, both hers.

183
00:18:59,597 --> 00:19:04,842
Why do you hesitate, Mfowethu?
Is it out of love?

184
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,056
Is your concern
more for strangers

185
00:19:08,064 --> 00:19:10,726
than for the uplift
of your own kingdom?

186
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:13,190
He is not a stranger!
He is my blood!

187
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:16,857
And today he was
prepared to shed yours

188
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:18,104
to protect his mother.

189
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:22,324
Is that going to go
unpunished, unnoticed?

190
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:27,118
Your reputation as king is at stake...
your pride.

191
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:35,334
We will call on Nonduma
of the Nzuza clan.

192
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:38,674
His power to these
mysteries far exceeds

193
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,509
those of the Isangoma's.

194
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:42,344
He will read the
secrets of the child

195
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:45,385
and provide you with
the proof you need.

196
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:52,097
And then, Baba... you shall
make your own decision.

197
00:19:59,782 --> 00:20:04,321
[chanting in Zulu]

198
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:34,351
I smell evils.

199
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,808
I smell a child.

200
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:42,859
[crowd yammering]

201

[speaking Zulu]

203
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:32,034
The blood will tell the truth.

204
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:40,668
[Nandi] Ah... Shaka... Shaka!

205
00:21:40,674 --> 00:21:45,293
No...No! Leave him alone!

206
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:49,047
-No...no! -[chanting in Zulu]

207
00:21:49,058 --> 00:21:50,844
[Nandi crying]

208
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,805
Hawu... hawu... hawu...

[witchdoctor screaming]

[witchdoctor prophesying]
Daughter of Bhebhe.

216
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:03,640
From your womb shall come
the first born of a king,

217
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:11,524
giving birth to a mighty
nation of blood stained spears

218
00:24:12,076 --> 00:24:16,911
and thundering shields.

219
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:19,993
[men ululating]

220
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:21,748
Shaka...

221
00:24:23,087 --> 00:24:26,579
-Shaka. -Hmm.

222
00:24:26,924 --> 00:24:29,836
Shaka... we have
to leave at once!

223
00:24:29,843 --> 00:24:35,054
You must hurry... He will be
looking for you at sunrise.

224
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:37,472
He?

225
00:24:41,939 --> 00:24:45,852
He... will be looking for us?

226
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:50,026
I thought the idea was his.

227
00:24:50,656 --> 00:24:54,490
I cannot tell you more
now, Ndlovwkazi. Come.

228
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:55,983
Why do you call me that?

229
00:24:55,995 --> 00:25:00,113
Ndlavukazi 'is the title
reserved for the principal wife.

230
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:02,118
Not for an outcast.

231
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:06,995
It's because you are the
principal wife of Zulu, Nandi.

232
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:09,873
You are the Queen...

233
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:13,584
I knew that years ago,
when I first met you.

234
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:17,884
And that, some day, you will
return to claim that right

235
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:21,600
and he... will be your shield...

236
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:26,768
"Isihlangu sakho." Come!

237
00:25:34,658 --> 00:25:35,864
Follow me.

238
00:25:37,077 --> 00:25:40,820
[birds chirping]

239
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:08,976
Gazi!

240
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:23,613
-Why? Why? -Mkabayi...

241
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:28,334
-Mkabayi? -Mkabayi
felt you were trapped.

242
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:31,412
I could overrule all of them.

243
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:34,256
You were never
very good at that.

244
00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:41,131
And now... Gazi... what
do I tell the people?

245
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:45,225
That... I helped her to escape.

246
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:54,564
Bayete, Let them go.

247
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:10,121
[panting]

248
00:27:41,702 --> 00:27:44,865
[indistinct chattering]

249
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:49,706
Come.

250
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:53,119
Was... was that...

251
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:05,799
[tribe chanting]

252
00:28:30,751 --> 00:28:33,709
[woman crying]

253
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:33,264
Nandi...

254
00:29:41,697 --> 00:29:42,937
[Mudli] May I suggest, Baba,

255
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,564
that you do not close
your eyes to solutions

256
00:29:45,575 --> 00:29:47,315
that fate has offered.

257
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:48,741
And what might that be?

258
00:29:48,745 --> 00:29:51,157
That they have been
coaxed into exile

259
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:54,998
-by the treachery of your own induna.
-Hai Baba!

260
00:29:55,002 --> 00:29:57,163
We couldn't have
done it better.

261
00:29:57,170 --> 00:30:00,412
Now you must ask that
they be returned to you.

262
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:02,873
The Elangeni are
proud people, Elder.

263
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:07,002
Like Nandi... They will
refuse, and it will mean war.

264
00:30:07,014 --> 00:30:12,600
Exactly, Baba. And in that war,
there will be one casualty...

265
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:16,265
The boy. The condition of the
Prophecy will be fulfilled

266
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:18,730
by you not personally
having to soil your hands

267
00:30:18,734 --> 00:30:23,945
with the blood of your son.
Your honour will remain intact.

268
00:30:23,947 --> 00:30:25,778
It pleases me that my councillors

269
00:30:25,782 --> 00:30:27,738
show such concern for my honour.

270
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:31,361
Yet, need I remind them
that for that honour.

271
00:30:31,371 --> 00:30:33,783
I have my friend's
blood on my hands,

272
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:38,580
and it was the councillors who
wished me to accept I-Shaka

273
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:39,497
to avoid war.

274
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:42,496
Now you ask me to risk
war for his sake...

275
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:44,839
and that will seem
strange to my people.

276
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:49,177
That is my foremost concern, Baba.
Your people.

277
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:53,390
The fact remains that you could not
have been abandoned by a woman.

278
00:30:53,393 --> 00:30:55,429
So tell the people
it was my idea,

279
00:30:55,437 --> 00:30:59,100
I chased her away because
of her arrogance.

280
00:31:00,275 --> 00:31:05,861
Very well, Baba... and how do
I explain the death of Gazi?

281
00:31:06,281 --> 00:31:08,943
You're trying my
patience, Elder.

282
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:10,986
That is my calling, Nkosi.

283
00:31:10,994 --> 00:31:12,905
To make the king aware
of the possibilities

284
00:31:12,913 --> 00:31:17,998
of a given situation... at the
risk of appearing a nuisance.

285
00:31:18,835 --> 00:31:22,669
Then, let me make
it simple for you.

286
00:31:22,672 --> 00:31:24,754
IfI risk war to get her back,

287
00:31:24,758 --> 00:31:26,840
her people will think
I care for her.

288
00:31:26,843 --> 00:31:30,051
If I forget her and call for
ngikhohlwe yindaba yakhe,

289
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:33,843
the punishment for her son
will be worse than death.

290
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:37,843
Not a Zulu, no
longer an Elangeni.

291
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:40,266
He will be a boy without a clan.

292
00:31:40,273 --> 00:31:42,059
Go and tell the people!

293
00:31:42,067 --> 00:31:47,187
Very well, Baba, that
will satisfy the people.

294
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:50,530
But the little the people
know about the prophecy

295
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:52,900
will in no way reflect
its true dangers,

296
00:31:52,911 --> 00:31:57,780
If this boy is allowed to live,
he will bring about an upheaval

297
00:31:57,791 --> 00:32:00,453
of life itself as we know it.

298
00:32:01,086 --> 00:32:05,375
Baba... I sympathize with the
fact that you are reluctant

299
00:32:05,382 --> 00:32:08,419
in bringing about the
death of your own son.

300
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:11,260
But he is not your son.

301
00:32:12,013 --> 00:32:14,720
Not in the true
sense of the word.

302
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:18,933
His conception was guided
by the hand of evil.

303
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,802
Do not be blind to it.

304
00:32:20,814 --> 00:32:26,104
Put that out of your mind, Elder.
That is an order!

305
00:32:26,111 --> 00:32:28,067
-Thank you for the advice.
-Baba I--

306
00:32:28,071 --> 00:32:30,187
Thank you for the advice.

307
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:34,657
-Bayete. -Bayete.

308
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:42,453
Bayete. .. Bayete

309
00:32:47,883 --> 00:32:49,874
Did it have to be Gazi?

310
00:32:49,885 --> 00:32:55,096
-I am proud to see that my brother
is finally beginning-- -Answer me!

311
00:32:55,932 --> 00:33:01,017
He was the only one I could trust.
He loved you both.

312
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:06,439
And what if Mudli is right
about the Prophecy?

313
00:33:06,443 --> 00:33:08,934
Mudli is right about
only one thing

314
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,277
the boy's exile is
the work of fate.

315
00:33:11,281 --> 00:33:13,613
Now he will have a chance
to prove his valour

316
00:33:13,617 --> 00:33:17,951
far away from those who fear
the prophecy and this child.

317
00:33:17,954 --> 00:33:21,037
Because he will
bring a new world!

318
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:22,997
A new order. A new society.

319
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:29,088
What our father and his generation
called evil, is the Future!

320
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:33,208
And it is not evil, of
that I'm convinced.

321
00:33:39,351 --> 00:33:44,266
[soft music playing]

322
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:52,603
Your father was loved by
everyone in the village.

323
00:33:53,073 --> 00:33:56,531
His joy was their joy...

324
00:33:57,369 --> 00:34:00,406
his pain, their pain.

325
00:34:01,122 --> 00:34:03,363
They knew how much
he cared for you.

326
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:08,335
Ten boys couldn't have
made him more proud than

327
00:34:08,588 --> 00:34:12,922
that one little girl... Nandi.

328
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:29,807
I've always wanted what I
thought was best for me.

329
00:34:29,818 --> 00:34:32,935
At the price of those
closest to me.

330
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:37,940
My son. My daughter.

331
00:34:37,951 --> 00:34:42,160
And now my father. It must end!

332
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:49,785
-Sakubona, mama.
-Yes, what is it?

333
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:52,833
The king wishes to see... Nandi.

334
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,803
We have sent a messenger to the
Zulus informing their king

335
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:02,843
that you and your
children are here

336
00:35:02,851 --> 00:35:05,968
and requesting an explanation.

337
00:35:07,564 --> 00:35:11,148
His answer is quite troubling.

338
00:35:14,571 --> 00:35:17,688
I have been the cause of
enough scandal, Nkosi.

339
00:35:17,699 --> 00:35:22,033
I will return to his village tomorrow...
without my children.

340
00:35:22,037 --> 00:35:26,906
Nandi Senzangakona did
not ask for your return.

341
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:33,079
He remembers no one by the name
of Nandi, daughter of Bhebhe.

342
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,377
And his son? His daughter?

343
00:35:36,384 --> 00:35:41,299
He made no mention
of Shaka or Nomcoba.

344
00:35:43,642 --> 00:35:49,262
We are told you escaped.
Is that true?

345
00:35:52,901 --> 00:35:55,813
Then, our hands are tied.

346
00:35:55,820 --> 00:36:00,109
We forced Senzangakona
to accept you once.

347
00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:01,860
We cannot do it again.

348
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:07,238
Especially since, this
time, he is in the right.

349
00:36:07,248 --> 00:36:09,113
He wanted to kill us!

350
00:36:09,918 --> 00:36:10,657
Nandi...

351
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:15,584
if the man truly wanted to kill you...
he would have.

352
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:20,004
I came here looking for help
and all I get is... this!

353
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:23,424
Nandi, you are in the
presence of the King!

354
00:36:23,431 --> 00:36:27,720
Ngazana, you are in the
presence of a queen!

355
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:37,651
Nandi, there is little or
nothing we can do to help you.

356
00:36:37,654 --> 00:36:40,896
You are completely
on your own, now.

357
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:43,569
No man in this village
will support you.

358
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:47,535
If you stay, you must fend for
yourself, and be prepared

359
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:52,784
to be treated with a certain
amount of... hostility

360
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:56,002
you are strong enough to
cope with that, I'm sure.

361
00:36:56,005 --> 00:37:01,796
But... what about your
mother and your children?

362
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,017
Where else can I go?

363
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,772
[flies buzzing]

364
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:33,619
[Henry]Life was not easy for Nandi.
Surrounded by animosity,

365
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:36,242
she could find no man
willing to help her

366
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:36,959
fend for her family.

367
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:41,332
And frequently, they were
subject to insults and abuse.

368
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,630
[cows mooing]

369
00:37:44,637 --> 00:37:47,879
Hey look... the Zulu whore.

370
00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:50,633
Just ignore them and
carry on working.

371
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:55,353
The Zulu whore... who has no
man to do her man's work.

372
00:37:55,356 --> 00:37:57,312

Here’s a man for you:

376
00:38:12,957 --> 00:38:19,248
The whore who trapped the mighty leopard!
[laughs boisterously]

377
00:38:22,258 --> 00:38:27,969
I'm the son of the King...
and my mother is a queen

378
00:38:28,223 --> 00:38:29,679
Remember that!

379
00:38:29,682 --> 00:38:35,427
Go! Get away from here.
Go... go!

380
00:38:37,524 --> 00:38:41,312
Go... Go!

381
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:45,649
Go!

burning our granary!

your spear now?

[sombre music playing]

392
00:40:23,338 --> 00:40:28,253
Shaka, come back, Shaka!
You must stop him!

393
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:30,466
It is time they learned, mother.

394
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,052
Sooner or later we
must fight back!

395
00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:36,173
If you won't save him, I will!

396
00:40:46,778 --> 00:40:48,268
Shaka!

-Yah! -What is Shaka doing?

400
00:41:53,386 --> 00:41:56,253
It's time we were
rid of the Zulu.

401
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:04,181
Shaka... Shaka!

402
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:08,056
Drop it... Drop it! Come here!

403
00:42:15,616 --> 00:42:18,574
It looks as ifI arrived not
a minute too soon, Mphepha!

404
00:42:18,578 --> 00:42:25,074
[yells] This is my home, Mfunda. And
I will do anything to defend it.

405
00:42:25,084 --> 00:42:26,824
Someone burnt our granary today

406
00:42:26,836 --> 00:42:29,953
and yesterday your son
insulted my daughter!

407
00:42:30,590 --> 00:42:31,625
Is that true, Nzobo?

408
00:42:31,632 --> 00:42:34,590
-I was provoked, Father.
-Is that true?

409
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:38,590
-Yes, Father. -And the fire?

410
00:42:39,015 --> 00:42:40,926
Did you or did you
not start that fire?

411
00:42:40,933 --> 00:42:43,219
-Why do you even talk to
these-- -[yells in Zulu]

00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:49,480
It seems you are right, Mfunda.

414
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:54,945
Shaka, take five of our cattle
as payment for your loss.

415
00:42:55,907 --> 00:42:57,147
So be it.

Mother! Mother!

429
00:45:25,514 --> 00:45:32,556
Never again... will he...
leave an enemy behind!

[child crying]

432
00:45:53,876 --> 00:45:56,868
So, when would you
like us to leave?

433
00:45:56,879 --> 00:46:02,590
It is not my decision, Nandi.
I want you to know that.

434
00:46:02,593 --> 00:46:07,212
But whatever I personally
think, I am a king

435
00:46:07,890 --> 00:46:09,346
and I belong to my people.

436
00:46:09,350 --> 00:46:12,683
Which is your excuse for not
doing what your heart tells you!

437
00:46:12,687 --> 00:46:16,646
Let me make your life easier, Nkosi.
We leave tomorrow.

438
00:46:16,649 --> 00:46:23,646
Nandi... your mother can stay
if you'd like... in my kraal.

439
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:27,155
She may be too old to travel.

440
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:33,662
Thank you, Baba.

441
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,492
That's the first kind word
I've heard in a long time.

442
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:40,245
But I think she'll like
to stay near Shaka.

443
00:46:40,256 --> 00:46:46,468
She is afraid without the proper
guidance, he'll become like me.

444
00:46:46,971 --> 00:46:48,211
A misfit.

445
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:54,847

00:50:15,221 --> 00:50:21,683
Nandi... your mother can stay if
you'd like... in my kraal.

00:50:21,936 --> 00:50:24,643
She may be too old to travel.

450
00:50:24,647 --> 00:50:25,261
Thank you, Baba.

451
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:28,935
But I think she’ll want
to stay near Shaka.

452
00:50:29,151 --> 00:50:33,440
[Mfunda]Give him room
to breathe, Nandi.

453
00:50:33,781 --> 00:50:37,194
If you truly love
him, let him believe

454
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:40,910
that tomorrow the
light will return.

455
00:50:40,913 --> 00:50:44,952
Let there be love, not hate.

456
00:50:45,167 --> 00:50:52,414
[Bhebhe]Nandi, Gendeyana is a
good, what more can you ask for?

457
00:50:52,424 --> 00:50:56,588
[Nandi]Much more father...
much more.

458
00:50:56,595 --> 00:50:59,883
[Gendeyana]You’II be
an outcast forever.

459
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:03,599
[Nandi]I don't have
a choice now, do I?

460
00:51:03,602 --> 00:51:04,808
[Gendeyana] Yes, you do.

461
00:51:04,812 --> 00:51:10,808
We 7/ say it's my child...
and we'll marry properly.

462
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:13,691
But you don't understand.

463
00:51:13,696 --> 00:51:17,689
I don't love you... I
could never love you.

464
00:51:17,700 --> 00:51:23,115
My place is with Senzangakona, no
matter what it may cost me.

465
00:51:23,497 --> 00:51:25,829
[goat bleating]

466
00:51:27,126 --> 00:51:29,242
Gendeyana... look!

NandH

468
00:51:58,324 --> 00:52:00,315
And, the little girl?

469
00:52:00,326 --> 00:52:03,159
It's mine... Nomcoba.

470
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:06,911
And that must be Shaka.

471
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:22,678
[Henry]And so it was that after all
those years, Nandi found refuge

472
00:52:22,681 --> 00:52:26,674
with the man she had
so determinedly refused to marry.

473
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:28,016
You're welcome here.

474
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:30,227
[Henry] Under his
protection, Shaka would grow

475
00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:33,939
and develop into a
strong young warrior.
