Dangerous Ground Page #5

what I could do to stop it.

When we get in there,

let me do the talking.

And where have you been?

Sun City.

You never learn, do you?

Nothing, man. Nothing.

And what the f*** is this for?

I'm not from around here

so I'm kind of nervous.

Yeah. You should be.

Come on.

You see what I am saying

about the English?

They play fast and hard.

They wear their opponents down.

That is why they are the

bully-boys of European soccer.

I found this on the brother.

So...

Give this to him.

American Express.

I like very much.

Yeah. There's a slight

problem with that.

Problem?

Yeah. It's about

nine hundred dollars short...

but I can get my hands on that

a little later this week.

Why did you break

all my records, man?

Shut up, Steven.

You should give me 2,000 rand

of that as compensation!

Shut up, Steven!

You shouldn't be worried

about your records.

You have no need for them.

That was my life, man!

Welcome home, Steven.

Don't. Don't do it.

You got your money.

You should be more worried

about what you have done to me.

The word is out on the street

that people can f*** with me.

Now I can't make deals because

people are starting to think...

that they can just run away

with my money.

Everybody in town

wants credit now.

They all think that they can do

like Steven did.

So now I have to give them

a message.

A very clear message.

Steven! Motherf***er!

He's bleeding on my floor.

Let me go!

Get rid of this sh*t.

You want me to kill

these other two?

No. I want

the word on the street...

what has happened

to this bastard.

Jesus Christ.

He pays you back the debt...

and you still kill him.

For f***'s sake!

Shut up, Detective Sergeant.

I'm finished with you

today as well.

You're dead! You're dead!

What happened?

He was murdered.

Who did this?

Who the f*** did this?

We'll get to that.

No, Mama!

Get her out of here!

Ernest!

Mama, you can't see this!

Go! Go!

This?

Thank you.

You know this peace

we talked about earlier?

The peace you said

you hated so much?

I didn't see no peace out there.

It was war.

It's a war out there

on our youth...

in this... new country of ours.

It's African exploiting African.

We've been oppressed

by the white man so long...

all we know is oppression.

Doesn't even matter

who oppresses us.

We just accept it.

This Muki...

This fellow African

that killed our brother...

know what he said to me?

South Africans

were inexperienced...

vulnerable, open to attack.

Why didn't you report it

to the police?

There was a cop sitting there

when he got shot.

So, what you going to do?

I'm going to bury Steven...

I'm going to Jo-burg...

and I'm killing

that motherf***er.

I'm coming with you.

We're gonna need guns.

What do you know about guns?

I'm your older brother...

the head of the Madlazi family.

Don't ever doubt me again.

That sounds like the young Vusi

I used to know.

That's right.

First my father,

and now my little brother.

When the time came

to sacrifice the goat...

I didn't hesitate.

Somehow I knew a lot more

blood would be spilled...

before this whole thing

was over.

This is my brother Ernest.

Sit in the back, now.

Yes, sir.

- Here. Stop right here.

- Here?

Yes, stop. Come. Follow me.

Kind of dark out here.

I ain't going to step

in no cheetah sh*t, am I?

There's no cheetahs here, man.

You're so American.

African-American.

Here. Right here.

Here?

Yeah, OK.

You want to start?

Can I have some help?

- Come on, boys.

- Shut up.

Sure there ain't

no dead bodies in here?

- Yeah. Muki's.

- I wish.

Damn!

Wow! How long have they

been here?

Long enough to win a war.

I thought all arms caches

were turned over to the police.

Yeah, right.

Wow. Let me see.

Careful with that thing.

Jeez, do they still work?

- Cool! What a rush.

- Give me that!

- Let's get another.

- Watch out! No!

Just stay on the light!

Crazy ass!

Careful where you point

that thing next time.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Hey, open up!

It's me-Karen.

Who?

Karen! Open up!

Yeah, OK, I'm coming.

I'm coming!

I thought you were dead.

What you doing here

so early in the morning?

Why? You sleepy?

Yeah, I'm tired. Yes.

I've got something

to wake you up.

Hi, Sam.

Hey, how you doing?

Go away.

I see you didn't clean up

your room like I asked you.

I've been busy.

Look, all you got to do...

come with us,

pretend we're your friends.

Just give a present to Muki.

You can go f*** yourself

in your f***ing a**hole.

See?

Know what I'm talking about?

I don't think

this is going to work.

We got a problem.

I've had this

done to me many times...

and I tell you, it's not fun.

You gonna tell us?

You gonna help us?

Shock his dick.

That'll do the trick.

I'm not touching his dick.

You hold his dick,

and I'll shock it.

I don't do d*cks.

I'll do it.

- How long?

- Five minutes.

The f***ing lift takes five

minutes to get to the penthouse.

Then we'd better hurry up.

You carry it.

Look, you got to carry it.

Give it to Muki

and don't drop it.

Come here!

Get your ass back over here.

Don't try that sh*t again.

Leave the car running.

Hold up. Hold that.

Will you please hurry up?

Hand me that.

Listen to me.

Do not get out of this car.

Shut up and move.

Hey, where do you think

you're going?

Up to Muki.

I've got a present for his wife.

What about these two guys?

They're my buddies.

I swear they're cool.

Sure, OK.

Sweet.

No, no. This lift is full.

Please, just go away. Sorry.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Close.

This is for Muki.

It's heavy. What is it?

I've got to go.

Wait a minute. What is it?

What?

I can't hear you.

It's a f***ing bomb!

What is it, man?

I think the fuse was a bit old.

Yeah! Come on!

Goddamn!

Who are you?

What do you want?

We are the brothers of Steven,

and we've come to kill you!

Where's Muki?

I'm right here.

Damn!

Tried to shoot me in the back!

Little cheating b*tch!

Drop the gun.

I said drop the f***ing gun.

Why should I?

So you can kill us both?

You ready to die?

I'm ready.

Ready?

Look like we all ready.

Wait. Wait.

Hold up. Take it easy.

Nobody got to die here.

You f***ing people!

You can't do anything

properly.

F***ing South Africans!

So...

now I have to punish you.

First... in the knees.

Then... in the guts.

So...

who...

do...

I do first?

Game over, motherf***er.

Let's move.

Yeah, Muki was dead...

but not dead enough for me.

I just couldn't turn my back

on the problem.

It was about family,

about blood, about home.

It looked like I wasn't gonna

get on that plane after all.

Hey, baby, I had this idea...

and I wanted to know

what you think about it.

Why don't you go

to the airport...

get on a plane,

and come down here with me?

You want me to come

to South Africa?

It's about time

you saw where I come from.

So what do you say?

- Yeah, why not?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Cool!

I'm a happy man.

I'm a happy man.

I'm happy, too.

This time

you call the travel agency...
