Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Page #3
Time for you to move on.
You are at the wrong place.
Police!
Go, go, go!
- Run, run!
- You two take the outbuildings
and we'll take the farm.
Get down on the floor!
Get in there!
Get in there!
- Search them!
- Come here!
- Get down on the floor!
- Come on!
Watch out, there's one
going out the back.
Take him down!
Take him down!
Keep still!
Don't move!
Does somebody want me?
Mama Winnie! Mama Winnie!
They caught him.
Mandela!
Mandela!
Sisulu!
Kathrada!
No children.
You can't take them in.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Mama will come back, OK?
All right?
Now, wait with Sisi, OK?
Mandela!
Mandela! Mandela!
Silence!
Silence!
Quiet! Quiet!
My Lord, I call the case of the state
against the national high command
of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing
of the African National Congress.
The state contends that the accused
are responsible for acts of sabotage
aimed at facilitating violent revolution
and an armed invasion of this country
with the intention
of overthrowing the government.
Accused number 1, Nelson Mandela.
Do you plead guilty or not guilty?
My Lord, it is not I
but the government
that should be put in the dock.
I plead not guilty.
The state has formally advised me
that they will be asking
for the supreme penalty
permissible by law.
Which is death.
Our best chance is to attack
the credibility of the charges.
We think they'll bring
in a guilty verdict,
but we might be able to
avoid the death sentence.
- Agreed?
- Agreed.
Agreed.
Then be happy.
Smile.
This may be the greatest service
we will ever do for our people.
Mandela! Mandela!
My name is Nelson Mandela.
I'm the first accused.
I do not deny that
I planned sabotage.
I did not plan it
in a spirit of recklessness
nor because I have any love
for violence.
The hard facts are
that 50 years of non-violence
had brought the African
people nothing
but more and more
repressive legislation
Africans want
a just share
We want equal political rights,
one man, one vote.
I have dedicated myself to this struggle
of the African people.
I have fought against
white domination.
I have fought against
black domination.
I have cherished the
ideal of a free,
democratic society
where all persons
live together in harmony
with equal opportunities.
It is an ideal which
I hope to live for
and achieve,
but, if needs be,
it is an ideal for which
I am prepared to die.
- Amandla!
- Awethu!
- Amandla!
- Awethu!
Before the judge imposes
the supreme penalty,
there is one more step.
He will ask the first accused, Nelson,
"Have you any reason to advance
whether the sentence
should not be passed?"
- You could then say...
- I have nothing more to say.
That won't help your appeal.
There will be no appeal.
No appeal?
We are ready.
All rise.
I have reached my verdict.
The defendants will rise.
The accused are all found
guilty as charged.
The accused have made high moral claims
for their actions.
In essence,
they have courted martyrdom
at the hands of what they
call "their oppressors."
But I will not give them
that satisfaction.
Let us show the world
that we are a nation of laws
and where possible,
I have therefore decided
not to impose the supreme penalty.
The sentence in the case
of all the accused...
will be life imprisonment.
All right, get out, kaffirs.
- In a line.
- All right.
- Move, move, get over there.
- Now stand in a line.
All right, listen to us.
- Get over there.
- Move.
Form a line, go on.
You're not in Johannesburg anymore.
You're not in Pretoria.
You are on the island.
You will never leave here again.
You will never touch
You will die here.
If you have any complaints,
well, that's just too bad
because nobody on
and nobody in the rest
of the universe will ever know.
It's a pity they didn't hang you.
I'm going to make sure
you wish they had.
Move!
Indians get trousers.
Indians get socks.
Boys get shorts.
Sit down, sit down, man!
Well, Kathy, it looks like
you will have to be the daddy.
Move! Move, move, move!
Come, put all your
civvies here in the box.
Move it!
I'm watching you, my friend.
Move it!
Go on, go on! Move!
Move!
Motsoaledi.
Motsoaledi.
- Kathrada.
- Kathrada!
Kathrada, move!
In!
Move, coolie!
- Sisulu?
- Sisulu!
Forward, come!
Move, move, move!
- Mandela.
- Mandela.
Go!
This is it, boy... home,
for the rest of your life.
Mlangeni, come, move.
- Mlangeni.
- Move.
Mlangeni...
Amandla!
- Routine check.
- Get out!
Stay where you are!
Get out of my bedroom!
Get out!
Hey, hey, hey.
Get out! Get out!
Get out!
- Get out!
- Jesus, what a witch.
Get up, you lazy kaffirs!
Time for work!
Up, Kaffir!
Come, come, come! Move!
Every morning
I've got to smell your crap.
Come. Move!
Get back into line, man!
Listen, we are going
and our first demand
is going to be long trousers.
We have to make them
respect us, and they will,
but it will take time,
but we have time,
so we start small.
- Faster, faster!
- Move, move, you bloody Kaffir!
Move, move!
Lazy boy.
Work. Don't stop.
You work.
Crazy woman.
B*tch.
- Winnie...
- Hey, hey, hey!
- Hey, we are not fighting.
- Just do it, boy.
- Please do it.
- Madiba.
- What is the problem here?
- No problem.
No problem, Sergeant.
No problem.
Let's work, boys.
Let's go, go, go.
Move, move, move.
Every time they make us angry,
it's like they win.
Never let them see you
lose your temper, Madiba.
- Never.
- Hey, what are you looking at?
Turn 'round!
- Number.
- 31159.
- Number.
- 46664.
That is category D.
That's your allocation
for the next 6 months.
Number.
Get these bloody dogs out of here.
- Get out of here.
- Get in the yard, you...
You, you, move it!
Yes, that's it, boys.
That's good, good.
In the rain, right.
- Get your clothes off.
- Strip!
- Take your clothes off.
- Strip! Strip! Strip!
F***ing strip!
- Strip!
- You stink!
- Let's wash the stink off you!
- You are nothing!
When they think
of you in the morning,
they'll think they're
gonna sh*t themselves!
Night in the rain, huh?
Useless kaffirs.
You understand, boys?
You're going to stand
here all night!
You monkeys!
You don't wear clothes
up in your trees, do you?
Stand still in the line.
Useless kaffirs.
- Stand up.
- Get up, up, up!
Stand up! Stand up, you slacker!
You tell your commanding
officer I will be complaining
to the head of the prison
service in Pretoria.
You tell him that!
Get up.
You've got a complaint
to make to Pretoria?
Yes, Colonel.
This prison is out of control,
and those prison guards are nothing
but some drunk hooligans.
