Here, my prince.

I bring to you the remaining dues.

(mellow jazz playing)

- I'm not done yet.

(mellow jazz playing)

There was no full return, last week.

(mellow jazz playing)

Excuse us.

(mellow jazz playing)

I want the slaves to work hard.

And you ought to watch them closely.

Working hard is all I need from them.

Remember, I will not take such returns anymore.

(mellow jazz playing)

- I think I know what to do, my prince.

From today, they will have to work more hard.

Very hard, my prince.

One more thing, my prince.

Duroka has only one more day to spend in the cage.

What could be the penalty?

- Duroka.

What was his offense again?

- He tried to escape from the farm yard, my prince.

- Aha!

Kill him!

(foreboding music playing)

Hang him.

(lady crying)

- They'll never let us rest, Ngizu.

- Must we die?

Must we die before they appreciate our effort?

I was only resting.

Before I knew it, I was dragged into this place.

- Here is no better.

But I know one day, things will get better.

We all need our freedom.

- Shh.

Look at this girl.

I think she's having problems in her head.

(foreboding music playing)

- You don't know what a child means, do you?

You really need your own child.

You don't know what you will lose if you don't get a child.

I need a grandchild, Gunde.

(children laughing)

- Mama. This is for you.

- Thank you.

- Your workers work on Sunday?

No. It is unfair.

They never worked for your father on Sunday.

It is against the rules and you know that.

- The rule? But they eat on Sunday.

I think they are hardworking.

- What about Steven?

- He's fine.

- Your father trained him for this job.

He should have taken over from Shango by now.

Shango is just your friend.

He knows nothing about the plantation.

That is why the income is low.

- No. He's doing perfectly well

and I don't think I'm ready to change him yet.

- If you don't change him, it is then a risk to the throne.

Gunde. Get a child that will take over from you

as you took over from your father.

- Mother.

You pester my life with this child bearing thing.

- Do not allow this, your obstinacy, create a vacuum

in the family lineage.

You must keep the royal fire burning.

Sir, this is just unfair!

- Let's go, brother. Come on, brother.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, brother. Let's go.

Next thing's the cage. It's torturous.

Don't touch him.

Let him be.

He who is tired, let him die.

- The throne must not remain vacant after me.

There must be a successor.

But if you're not ready to give that to me

then you are better off dead

so I can get a wife who will do that before it's too late.

(foreboding music playing)

I can't marry again, while you are alive.

I can't change the tradition. If not...

(foreboding music playing)

- What do you want me to do?

- Are you asking me?

Go and meet the doctor my mother told you to see.

I know there is no solution to your sickness

and you know that too.

The money I gave to Luna yesterday for my master,

is missing.

And I believe, one of you

I repeat, one of you, took it.

Who took it?

(smirking)

Now, I will go into your quarters

and I will search.

If any one of you is found guilty,

I believe we all know the penalty.

Very, very near.

You must keep the faith.

You must believe in yourself.

You must believe in your abilities.

For every little thing starts with a little beginning.

Do not despair

but ask God for the grace to carry on.

To do His work and to do your work in the field.

For there is no food for a lazy man.

Even if you are as little as this child

you must ask God for a better harvest.

And with what I'm thinking,

her pregnancy has exceed 9 months.

So you want to kill the princess.

Now, I see.

Since you say you are treating the princess

I am going to help you do that better.

And if the princess does not give birth alive

I will make you kill her.

And I will kill you myself.

No one is left at the quarters.

They have all gone to the farm.

Should I go there and inform them?

- No. Never mind.

I will tell here, so you inform them when they come back.

You see,

I've gone through my father's documents

on how he managed this plantation.

From today, you are my workers and not slaves.

I will pay you very well

and I will take care of you.

- Sam!

- Sir.

- You are going to be in charge of this plantation

until Steven comes back from his training.

And Madiza will be staying with us here in the palace.

And I'm going to sign it.

(foreign language)

Okay.

All right then. Okay.

Remember, today you are handing this office over

to your friend, Steven.

After several months of training abroad

I know he will re do this plantation.

- I'm happy for him, sir.

- Go, call him for me so that we work things out.
