Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Page #2

Thank you.

Don't go to prison yet, Nelson.

My sweet.

- You think I don't know?

- Know what?

Evelyn, it's the defiance campaign.

I'm doing it for all of us.

Yes, you care about all the children

of South Africa except your own.

Hey, hey...

Are you seeing

other women for them?

Are you seeing your

whores for them?!

- 'Cause I know, Nelson!

- Evelyn...

- And I won't take it anymore!

- Evelyn, stop this now!

- You will burn in Hell!

- Shut your mouth!

Shut your mouth.

Shut your stupid mouth.

Thembi, go to bed.

We can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Thulani. Thulani.

The Boers say Sophiatown is a slum.

All the people that have homes there

are to be evicted by force.

Sophiatown is to be bulldozed

so they can build houses for the rich.

Let them try.

We say, "Over our dead bodies."

Let them bring their bulldozers.

Let them bring their army.

We will fight for our homes!

We will fight for our freedom!

If they want a war...

we will give them a war.

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

This way! Together!

- Follow Madiba!

- Whites only!

All together, come!

- In there.

- They're coming!

Get them! Come on!

They are coming, they are coming.

Where are they?

Where are they?

What do you think you're doing?

- See, lady, no manners at all.

- Come! Get up!

Let go!

Get your hands off me.

Sorry, ladies.

Together we will beat them!

Together we have power!

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

- Mayibuye!

- Afrika!

- Afrika!

- Mayibuye!

- Are you here alone?

- Yes.

Mum doesn't know I'm here.

Mum says we're not

to live with you anymore.

Thembi, I know

that I've been away a lot.

Too much.

But... I'm doing it for all of us.

I want you to believe that.

Hambani. Hambani.

- Madiba.

- Mama.

Do you want a lift?

- OK.

- Sure.

Do you always accept lifts

from strangers?

You are not a stranger.

You are Nelson Mandela.

And you are Winnie Madikizela.

- How do you know?

- I made inquiries.

And what else did you find out?

That you work at

Baragwanath Hospital,

you are the first black

social worker they've ever had,

and you're the most beautiful

girl I've ever seen.

It's just here.

Thank you.

What time do you finish?

- 6:
00.

- I'll be here.

You know, I've been finding

out about you, too.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hm.

And what have you found out?

Your wife left you.

I was away too much.

Never enough time.

There is no time.

- Only now.

- Only now?

- Yes.

- What do you mean?

When I was 7 years old,

my little sister

started coughing blood.

And my mother, she...

she begged God to save her.

But she died.

And ever since then, I've known

we have to save ourselves,

and we have to live while we can.

Winnie, Winnie.

I heard you have a

lot of girlfriends.

I'm different.

I was thinking,

I know a good dressmaker.

Very good value.

Maybe you should go and see her.

Maybe I should.

Maybe you should go to Bizana

and talk to your father.

Maybe I should.

Was that a proposal?

If that's what you'd like.

Is it what you'd like?

More than anything in the world.

- Is that "yes"?

- Yes.

Your husband.

At Sharpeville, an industrial

township, thousands gather outside

a police station in protest

against new laws requiring

every African to carry

a pass at all times.

The bastards

ignored the planes, man.

No, no, they weren't scared at all.

They bloody well waved at me...

They're tearing the fences apart.

Listen, I'm trying...

The cells are full.

How long is it gonna take?

- Back.

- Get away.

Pienaar!

Disperse and go back

to the stadium!

This is your final warning!

Cease fire!

Did you find a gun?

You'd better find that gun, Pienaar.

Did you see a weapon?

You find that weapon, Pienaar.

Between 50 and 100

of the desperate endeavor

to preserve white supremacy.

reacted hysterically

to an event that stunned the world.

We no longer accept

the authority of a state

that makes war on it's own people.

Oliver has gone abroad

to run the movement in exile.

I'm going underground.

The movement has

always been nonviolent.

Nonviolent.

Not anymore.

- How's Miriam?

- She's fine.

Well, that's fine, fine.

She is good-looking, but you must

give me Sophia Loren any day.

Amandla!

- Spear of the Nation.

- Yes!

- We are the people of this nation.

- Yes.

- But we don't have power.

- Yes.

We don't have rights, then.

- Yes.

- We don't have justice.

Yes.

South Africa now is

a land ruled by the gun.

Yes.

There comes a time

in the life of every nation

when there remains two choices.

Submit...

Never! Never!

...or fight!

We must fight.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Don't worry, we'll find him

and then we'll hang him.

Then you'll need a new man

to keep you warm at night, won't you?

Amos, this is David.

Can you take him

to the domestic quarters?

Yeah, boss.

Good morning, tata.

Inner tube of a ballpoint pen.

The thicker the plug,

the more time you've got.

Aluminum powder mixed

with permanganate of potash.

You can get this for

washing lettuce.

When the acid reaches

the mixture, it catalyzes...

and you've got...

Kathy, it's Nelson.

They're calling me a terrorist.

I need to set the record straight.

Now, find a foreign journalist.

Let's go.

I want the world to know.

OK, I've been accused of running away

and not standing up for my beliefs.

Now, tell them

that I will not give myself up

to a government I do not recognize.

We have been forced

into an armed struggle.

The decision was not taken lightly

by myself or the people or the ANC.

Brian Widlake, ITN News.

I have a few questions for you.

Mr. Mandela,

if the government doesn't

give in to the concessions

- that you want, will there be violence?

- There is violence now.

For 50 years, we have been

talking peace and nonviolence.

The government's reply is violence,

armed attacks

on unarmed and defenseless people.

If you were us, what would you do?

Mr. Mandela, what is it

that you personally want?

I want freedom.

I have beautiful children,

a beautiful wife.

I want them to walk free

in their own land.

Madiba, we must go.

Hey, it's Daddy.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look at you, look at you.

- It's OK.

- Oh, it's Daddy.

Look, it's Daddy.

- Are you smiling for Daddy?

- Do you want to come run with Dad?

Come, come, let's go.

Come. Come, Zeni.

- How are you?

- I'm fine.

I've lost the new job, though.

- I will see that you get some help.

- No. I'll be all right.

I knew how it would be.

Fight them.

I hate them so much.

Petrus didn't make it.

What happened?

The detonator went off too soon.

I'm so sorry, Madiba.

It's not safe here anymore.
