Wow! Five in a row!
If you keep this up, we won't have any birds left to shoot!
Missus will be happy! No more holes in the peaches!
It's your kill. You have to finish it.
If we leave it, it will die.
If we leave it, it will suffer.
Impi, there is death in its eyes already.
But its heart still feels pain.
You're a great hunter now.
Maybe even greater than me. I can't kill your birds for you anymore.
Tomorrow you will do it yourself.
Impi! Nkosana!
Always, just when we're having fun,
all you hear is "Impi, Nkosana! Impi, Nkosana!"
You'll need curlers and a headscarf
to be like Missus.
-Yeah. -Missus, your slingshot.
Impi!
Maybe she wants to give you cake,
or sweets, or even a beer.
You're a grown-up today.
Remember Mom said not to speak about that, Nkosana.
But if she does give me beer,
I'll share it with you. We'll drink when everyone is asleep.
And we'll be like this...
Yeah, like this...
Then we'll eat the cake to help us walk properly again.
Morning, boys.
Tell your mom and dad to hurry. There's a lot to be done.
Elizabeth, mind your language!
Alright, off you go. Wait.
Not before breakfast.
Hello, Mom.
-Hello, Mom. -Hello, my boys.
Missus said we should go
to her house straight away. We'll pluck the birds later.
Happy birthday, my boy.
You're an old man now, brother.
Oh hush, Nkosana.
Well, then.
-Hello, my sons. -Hello, Father.
Hello, Father.
Ah, that tastes good.
I think I might have forgotten something in the drawer last night.
Thank you, Father.
I'll put my savings in it.
That's good, son. It's your big day today.
Give me a hand, my boy.
So tell me, son,
what will you do with the money?
I'll take us back to KwaZulu, Father.
Train tickets cost 45 rand per person, my child.
Then I'll work harder in the garden.
Okay.
Impi, my son,
we are very lucky to be working here for Boss Jakob.
When we headed north to the mines from KwaZulu,
he gave us jobs.
He gave us shelter on his farm.
so the mines wouldn't swallow me like they did my brothers.
But there are no Zulus here in the north, Father,
and the Sesotho people speak funny.
I hear you, son, but…
you'll go back to KwaZulu one day,
when you are ready.
When the blood of home calls upon you,
you must answer.
I'm proud of you, my boy.
Listen carefully.
Today is very important to the Whites.
They are celebrating the day they won the war
against our Zulu warriors.
So please remember, no mention of Impi's birthday.
And no playing near the boss' yard, okay?
-Yes, Mom. -Mom,
did great Great-grandfather die in that war?
Yes, my boy. He was a brave warrior.
Let's be on our way.
I have fathered real men.
Let me fix you.
-Hello, Son. -Hello, Dad.
Help me cut the lamb.
Elizabeth is a kind girl,
and a dear friend to you, right?
She is, Father, and she's very beautiful.
Her father says Mandela will be released from prison soon.
Things will change for the better, for us all.
Impi, things haven't changed yet!
Son,
you cannot like Elizabeth.
I beg you, son.
You liking Elizabeth
will cause great trouble for all of us.
For all of us.
For all of us, Impi.
Impi?
Yes, Father.
You may carry on.
Impi, Nkosana.
Double pay today.
You must go now, but come back later
because Missus is saving you some pudding.
Thank you, Boss.
Bangizwe! Nomusa!
Let me just finish, Boss. I'll be there right away.
Tell Nomusa your uniforms are in the store room.
-You must look sharp, okay? -Yes, Boss.
Impi,
do you know why they're white?
They all died from listening to that strange music,
and now they are ghosts.
They're not all the same.
Holy shit, boys. These little kaffirs can shoot, huh?
Check that out. Fucked everything up properly.
Does it remind you of something?
It's easy to shout "amandla" when you're rioting and burning shit down, huh?
Don't have that much "power" now, do you?
What do you think you're doing?
But look,
the color of cow shit actually suits them better.
I swear if you touch him, I'll tell my dad. I swear it!
Your farm,
your rules, little Miss.
Do you want me to make it five in a row again?
No, don't.
Impi!
Nkosana!
-Wait here for me! -Where are you going?
Wait here and put these birds in the fridge.
-Do you hear me? -Yes, brother!
with all the other students.
What is so funny? Hmm?
Let go of me,
I'll kill that fucking log-head.
I'll kill you too!
Hey, man! What do you think will --
What do you think will happen if you do that right now, huh?
Can you see where we are?
It's the Mullers' farm, my bro, they have piss in their veins.
Fuck off, you little prick!
Let's go. My dad said we're leaving soon.
And thank God for that.
I've had enough of this circus.
So that's it, you're just gonna let it slide?
Did you have a good day, my boy?
Yes, Mom, it was very good indeed.
What about your brother?
Why did he go to sleep with a heavy heart?
Mom, some boys were mean to us.
They threw dung at us.
They said we have no power and that we are worthless.
Listen, Impi.
Power doesn't live in your fist.
It lives in your heart.
If you let power travel to your fist,
your heart will be left empty.
Who are you, my boy?
I am Impi Khumalo.
There you go.
Remember Uncle wrote us last week,
about the moon wandering the deep pools
of the Usutu?
Sleep now, my boy, and dream of it.
Impi,
you take such good care of your brother.
You're all grown up now.
You're only eleven years old,
but you're a great man already.
I'm proud of you, my boy.
-What's wrong, husband? -Go check on the boys.
Impi! Nkosana! Wake up.
Is Impi going to Kwazulu?
Mom, is something wrong?
Get dressed, quickly. Get dressed, Impi.
Run! Run, my boys!
Don't look back. Impi?
Easy. Easy there, madam.
We just want to speak to your son, that's all.
Wait here.
Just tell us where he is.
Unless you want him to grow up without a mother as well.
I said, wait here!
Where do you think you're going? Huh?
They're not in the house.
Where are those black-ass sons of yours? Huh?
Answer me! Where are they?
Your hearts…
are blacker than their skins.
You should have taught that boy his place in this world.
You'd better run, kaffirs!
If I ever see you again,
you'll end up just like your mother and father!
Do you hear me?
What about the bodies?
Burn it.
Where are Mom and Dad?
Hush, Nkosana.
Are they coming?
No, they're not.
What are we going to do now?
We must go to Isando.
Do you remember Mom said there are Black people there?
Come, Nkosana.
Come.
You bloody little snakes!
Go away!
Piss off!
I'm watching you! If I catch you here again,
I'll tell my Sprite to bite you!
-Where are we going? -To Johannesburg.
Again? I'm tired of walking.
We've been walking for two weeks straight,
looking for work!
The Whites in Johannesburg won't have us,
neither will the Sesothos here in Isando!
What do you want me to do? We used all the money!
We don't have money to go to Uncle in KwaZulu!
Should I ask a witchdoctor to bring back Mom and Dad?
Or should I ask God?
I promise, we won't walk much longer.
Tonight, we will have food.
Meat and potatoes?
And bread with sugar!
And warm milk.
We'll eat so much, we will look like this!
-Impi. -Yes, my brother?
You promised.
Wait here.
Take this, run!
You got back so late.
Your girlfriend kept you up again?
It wasn't my girlfriend. I worked double shift at the mine.
Look at you, all grown up.
Off to Johannesburg,
to become a cop.
Tell me, brother.
With everything you've studied to make you smart,
why become a cop?
I've told you this before.
I want to bring about justice.
Justice, brother?
Mandela has been in power for three years.
Justice has come to South Africa already. And you know what?
It was the people who brought it about.
Not the police. The people.
That's true.
But the struggle took a long time.
It will take time for things to change,
and the police would be a good place to start.
Other kids weren't as lucky as I was,
to have a brother to pay their school fees.
I'm not as smart as you,
but I'm smart enough to know you can't bring justice to all of South Africa.
Then I'll bring it to Johannesburg.
I'm moving to Soweto today.
I thought you were going to KwaZulu,
to Uncle.
-I am, just not today. -Why not?
I'm taking Alina with me.
Thing is, I don't have enough money. I'm only getting paid next week.
You can bring Alina here, to Isando.
Impi.
Soweto isn't Isando.
You really love this girl.
She's a good woman.
She reminds me of Mom.
You didn't tell anyone about joining the police?
You told me not to.
So...
Until you get paid.
And to remember our time here.
Go now,
before they say your brother gave you a broken watch.
Remember our time here in Isando.
I will.
Sure.
Thank you, baby.
Thank you so much.
Fix your hair, bitch. No-one likes sloppy seconds.
I'd listen to him if I were you,
the competition is tough.
Hello.
You're home now.
-We are happy. -I am happy too.
We'll need that soon.
It was kicking a lot today.
Hey, you, loverboy!
You know you owe me money, right?
And if you're moving in,
the rent will go up.
-I will pay you. -You will pay me?
I want it today. Stop messing with me!
Impi, are you done?
I'll go out one last time.
Let's just go. I don't like this woman, she drives me mad.
We can't travel with you in this condition.
We'll leave after the baby is born.
My brother doesn't need me anymore.
But my uncle can't help us.
Our child's father won't be a thief,
I promise.
I promise you both.
I'll go out one last time.
Walking alone so late at night?
I'm coming from the mines.
Those are not the hands of a man who breaks rocks.
Hey, you.
Maybe he wears gloves like a woman.
The last train from the mines ran at sunset.
I missed the train, it's a long walk.
I don't want any trouble, my brothers.
Then you should have stayed in Isando.
Any tricks, and you'll eat a bullet.
You are the Ghost of Isando.
Do you know who I am?
You are Shaka.
I've heard a lot about you.
I've heard a lot about you too,
Impi Khumalo.
Mntungwa.
Everybody is talking about you.
The call you the Ghost
because you work alone and you've never been caught.
You've wandered the streets of Isando for many years.
But now you wander a graveyard that isn't yours.
I can change that,
because we're all the same.
We are Zulu.
When we arrived in the north,
we were also just little boys.
The people here didn't want us.
But now,
all of Soweto fear us.
Now, we rule these streets.
And no-one
brings goods into Soweto without my say-so.
I'm leaving for KwaZulu tomorrow.
Tell me...
How will you get your pregnant girlfriend
to KwaZulu-Natal if you don't have any money?
I saw you coming and going,
and wandering
as her belly grew.
But today you came
into my town
carrying a suitcase.
My business here is done.
I'm leaving.
You are not done
until I say you are done.
Your brother from Isando.
Why isn't he here
to help the man who raised him?
He left, he's in Cape Town.
I'm telling the truth!
He got a scholarship, he will study to be a doctor.
I know what you're thinking.
Your mind is racing.
You think because you live
on the other side of town,
that you could just vanish.
You are wrong. I have eyes all over Soweto,
they see everything.
They saw you arrive today,
and they'll see if you tried leaving.
So tell me...
Do you want your girlfriend
and your child
to become ghosts like you?
Let the Ghost wander back to his grave.
It's a girl.
Your name will be...
Nomusa.
Nomusa Khumalo.
She bears a proud name.
I looked after your house while you weren't here.
I paid you well.
You still owe me for the past few weeks.
-I'll pay you real soon. -How will you pay me? Huh?
Delivering the baby will be extra.
-I won't manage. -Don't make me mad!
Don't you dare!
I just delivered your baby, you owe me 300 rand.
100 for the birth, and 200 for rent.
I'll pay you half of it now. The baby will need a lot of things.
What? Do you think you live in Johannesburg?
This is Soweto, everybody has problems.
I said half, today.
Then I'll be waiting.
Bring it before sunset.
My husband is coming back in four days.
Bring me my money.
Pakiso, come here before I whip your butt!
You carry water, Ghost. Are you a woman?
At least he doesn't carry it on his head. Maybe he has a cock after all.
We'll see, let's take bets.
20 says this fool--
What are you doing at my house?
I'm busy.
You're gonna be busy later, Ghost.
We're doing a big job tonight.
Be at Shaka's house at 11.
I'll meet you where we'll be doing the job.
Listen here, you idiot.
Shaka hates people coming late.
Bring your own tools. Okay?
Be careful, Mamba.
You tell a man like this to bring his own tools,
and he'll pitch up with a rolling pin.
Tonight, we dance.
Let's see if the Ghost has some moves.
Where are we going?
We're going to a student house.
They raise money for the poor.
We are the poor.
Students are smart.
I'm sure they've already deposited the money.
I run a cleaning business.
My cleaners...
tell me…
the business of the people they work for.
I'm sure you've broken into many houses before.
Why do you need me?
I need to see for myself
if you're any good.
If I help you, you'll pay me, right?
I'll pay you.
And if things go well,
I'll even give you a bonus.
Tonight...
I'm feeling generous.
The cleaner told me the money didn't leave this room.
Get going.
POWER IS OURS
Did you find it?
I did.
Call the others, let's go.
Excellent work. Leave it there,
we'll take it once we're done.
Follow me.
Hurry up.
Your bonus.
We've warmed her up,
just for you.
You don't like
what I give you?
Don't be nervous.
This one is special.
You'll see.
We have a problem now,
because you've seen.
And I can't let you leave
if I have to wonder whether you are one of us.
And if you don't leave with us,
what will happen to your girlfriend?
And to your daughter?
Interesting, the things
my cleaner tells me.
Where things are kept.
The stories that are told.
That little princess grew up on a farm,
where there lived a young boy,
who saw his parents getting murdered by white scum.
He fled his home with his brother.
The little princess never saw him again.
But we all know what happened to him.
He came crawling to the filth of Isando.
He became a ghost.
Take what's been taken from you.
End the story.
End it with her.
Impi?
Are you hurt?
Impi, what's wrong? Are you hurt?
Tell me what happened!
I have no power left in my heart.
What did you do?
I have no power left in my heart.
Impi.
We've managed to repair most of her internal injuries.
But…
she suffered severe head trauma.
Mrs. Muller, there isn't much we can do.
I'm sorry.
There is an option you could consider in private.
Take as much time as you need.
If there is anything else, we are here to help.
But I still spoke to her last night.
I still spoke to you last night.
Alina, go inside.
I've packed everything. There's nothing left to do.
You shouldn't be outside on your own.
My heart is heavy,
so I have to keep my hands busy.
We won't need fire tonight, we're leaving.
You said not to take anything from the kitchen.
Too much baggage makes it difficult
to start a new life.
Everything is ready.
It's still early, let's take the five o'clock train.
We'll take the night train.
Why must we sneak around in the dark, Impi?
We have a baby. Traveling by day would be better.
I'll get paid too late!
Excuse me.
If you brought trouble upon us, you need to tell me, Impi.
I look at you,
but I don't see the father of my child.
-I have to go. -Are you worried about too much baggage,
or are you trying to make it look like we have none?
Who musn't know that we're leaving, Impi?
Stay here, don't go outside.
You will fall, young man.
I am old,
but my eyes can still see.
Look, your shoe isn't tied.
-Thank you, ma'am. -You're welcome, my boy.
-Have a nice day. -Take care.
The Ghost has risen from his grave.
It's hard climbing from a grave as deep as mine.
Next time use the ladder
in your pantyhose, it'll be quicker.
It's time for business.
Leave us.
First one's on me, loverboy.
Don't waste your time on this one.
He doesn't finish!
Flat beer for the late-comer.
The money you found buys my forgiveness.
Once.
Because we are brothers.
Hear, hear!
And the one knows everything
the other has done.
So tell me, brother. When are we working again?
We work tomorrow night.
Today, we celebrate.
And dance till we sweat.
You bloody fool!
Piss off, you fucking idiot!
Those hands are money!
They need to be looked after!
Here.
Virgin cut.
You're one of us now,
by an oath of blood.
I don't like banks.
No-one asks where money comes from in a township bar.
Soweto is a thirsty town.
And today, we are thirsty too!
Here.
Hey, women! Over here!
I don't have time for fun.
That bitch at home sent me to buy a baby bottle.
Since when do men buy baby dummies and bottles?
She's struggling to walk after giving birth.
So I'll come back here later
for the nice things I've seen.
Someone who won't give me trouble.
You...
you are watchdog.
You two can play.
Cheers, Boss!
Let me walk you out.
Go see a doctor.
Pity your clever brother isn't around.
Let's go.
Hold me.
-Hello, sir. -Hello, my boy.
Sir, I'm looking for Impi Khumalo.
He's tall and dark, and he has an Afro.
He moved to Soweto recently. They said he lives near this store.
-Why are you looking for him? -He's my brother, sir.
Down this road,
you'll see a house with a blue door.
He lives directly opposite.
Thank you, sir.
Bastard.
Hey, go tell Shaka a cop is looking for his new dog.
Nkosana.
Brother,
you found my house so fast. You're a good cop already.
You lost your luck, brother.
Or did Dad give that to someone else?
-This is no place to discuss this. -Open the door.
Brother, it's Alina.
Is it?
Is it Alina?
Open it.
You are Nkosana.
Impi has told me a lot about you.
Alina.
This is our daughter.
Her name is Nomusa.
I'm happy Nomusa got to meet her uncle.
I hope we'll see each other again.
Brother.
Nkosana.
Nkosana!
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to bother you with family matters while you were at school.
You could have told me when we left Isando.
I could have told you many things, for many years.
But I got used to keeping secrets.
Will you keep this secret too?
If you can't tell me your secrets,
will you tell them to your daughter?
Will she know who her father is?
Now you carry a knife?
Who are you?
-I am Impi Khumalo. -You are a murderer!
The two students you killed.
What did they die for?
For what happened to Mom and Dad?
Are you trying to get justice because we didn't get it all those year ago?
You killed two boys,
raped Elizabeth. Who were you working with?
I'm leaving, brother.
They paid you, right?
-I'm going to KwaZulu. -It is blood money.
Don't you talk to me about blood money.
Are you forgetting that I raised you?
You've done this kind of thing before?
I have never.
Then what happened
to your heart,
for you to have hurt someone we love?
I went to the hospital to see Missus Gertrude.
She is broken, and so is Elizabeth.
They were going to kill Alina and my baby.
So they made you do it?
Yes, they did.
As you did, brother.
I didn't ask you to become this.
You didn't ask me, brother?
You didn't ask me?
Did you refuse the food I put on the table? Huh?
Did you ever miss school while I hustled to feed you?
Where were you after the time
we got chased for stealing milk?
Did you sleep on the streets after I built you a house?
Open your eyes.
No eleven-year old works at the mines.
Think about it, brother, think.
You left yesterday to start a new life.
I also wanted a new life.
I wasn't protected.
I will pay for my sins.
I will pay, but know the truth.
I didn't kill anyone.
-I didn't know what they were planning. -Why didn't you come to me?
They put a gun to my head.
They were going to kill me.
They were going to kill my whole family.
I didn't want to hurt Elizabeth.
But I did.
I hurt her.
You know what? Make me pay, brother.
Make me pay for Mom.
Make me pay for Elizabeth.
Finish me.
Nkosana, finish me.
Nkosana, finish me!
Come.
Will you help me?
Impi, come.
You're leaving tonight.
You will go to KwaZulu.
I'll go to the station with you.
I'll buy you a ticket, and I will see you leave this place for good.
I'll be blind one more time.
But if I see you tomorrow morning,
the blood we share won't stop me.
Let's go.
You've been saying you'll go back to KwaZulu since we were kids.
I'll come back for my bike tonight. I hope I will be here alone.
Unless you’re bringing my money, get lost.
Please look after Alina and my daughter, just for an hour.
I'll watch them from here. That was the deal.
We won't be any trouble, I'll keep her quiet.
Where's my money?
Is that enough?
Don't mess with me.
Do you think I run a hotel?
Hey? You're short.
One hour.
Come in.
Where are they going?
How's the baby?
She's fine.
You know, a child is a great gift from God.
You should take good care of it.
And get everything it needs.
Shops around here don't have a lot.
Things for babies can be found in Johannesburg.
They went to town, right?
I don't know where they went.
I forgot the baby's dummy.
You can keep her quiet with breast milk.
I've fed her already.
I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you, too.
Hey, Pakiso come here. Be snappy!
I'm calling you.
Go!
I'm running out of time, brother.
I told her one hour.
I'm running out of time, too. But I'll see you buy those tickets.
-Hurry up, please. -What did you say?
Go back, wait your turn.
Hi, sir, may I please have two tickets?
Two tickets to Umgeni.
It's what you gave me in Isando. I'll have no more of it.
I think you guys are full of shit.
Hey, get lost!
Please, don't hurt her.
That's everything I have.
Your brother is a cop.
Or have people been lying to me
and you have two brothers?
The one is becoming a doctor in Cape Town,
and the other is a cop
asking questions in Soweto?
I promise,
I didn't tell my brother anything.
A cop came looking for you,
and fingers are pointing to my house.
We're leaving, we're going to KwaZulu.
I promise, I won't be any more trouble. No-one will come after you, I promise you.
The woman of this house told me
your girlfriend left
to fetch something nextdoor.
But when she came back, she was alone.
Impi, where is your daughter?
My heart was worried,
so I had to keep my hands busy.
But we won't need fire tonight.
I can see
your tongue is stuck.
Let me loosen it for you.
I'm begging you Shaka, I'm begging you! Shaka!
Hush...
Here's your dummy.
Sshh. Hush.
Here's your dummy.
Take it.
Hush, Daddy's little girl.
Dream of the moon...
wandering the deep pools
of the Usutu.
-Hello. -Hello.
Hello.
Can I help you?
Yes, I'm looking for the lady of the house.
-My mother? -Yes, I spoke to her this morning.
What do you want from her?
It's about my baby.
I see.
She's expecting me.
Okay.
I'll see if she's asleep.
-Follow me. -Okay.
Hello, Ma.
Ma, this man is looking for you.
I saw you tie your shoe.
But it looks like you have fallen.
Did you fall?
I did, ma'am.
And now you're running.
Come in.
What are you running from?
I'm running from evil.
Evil?
Evil can't be outrun.
Then I must stop it.
Ma'am,
will you please look after my daughter?
We can't help you.
It's everything I have, all of it.
I've done great wrong, and I'll pay for my sins.
I won't live to see tomorrow,
but my daughter…
She is innocent.
I have nowhere else to take her.
We can't help,
I also have a child.
What is your daughters name?
I named her after my mother.
Nomusa.
God will bless you.
He will watch over your family.
You are my daughter.
Nomusa Khumalo.
Thank you.
Your gun!
That gun is a stranger to your brother's hands.
I wonder, will the bullet find me?
It will find you.
I've seen his hands kill
many times.
I'm not here for your brother,
and I'm not here for you.
The money I need to get away from here, is in there.
We can all walk away from this
and you will never see me again.
Ask your brother, I'm a man of my word.
We've worked together.
It's your kill.
You have to finish it.
Is there death in my eyes already?
I see nothing.
I ask you to see, Nkosana.
Open your eyes.
I see, Impi.
I also saw all those years ago,
on the farm.
I saw you kiss Elizabeth.
I'm the one who told those boys.
It's because of me that Mom and Dad were killed.
It wasn't because of you,
and it wasn't because of me.
Tomorrow...
Tomorrow we'll wake up...
We will wake up,
and take our slingshots.
We will go outside,
and walk through the tall grass.
The sun will be rising.
There will be many birds.
We will walk together.
And we will be like this...
You are my brother.
