Now go f*** yourself. F*ggot.

No problem.

Dude!

Idiots!

Well done, dude!

You're my guy!

Didn't I tell you I know how to hustle?

Stop it, dude!

Talk to me.

Oh... Madame!

Yes.

Tomorrow's OK.

Listen to this, guys!

Hi, guys.

Mojo Jojo, Ministry of Evil!

Hey, Mwas, are you a guy of pints?

Let me throw you one in Westie.

OK.

Right. Let's go.

I don't understand.

She's with a customer.

Dude, give her this.

Let me go distribute the rest.

Mwas, what do you say?

Why not give me 100 and I'll do you

so good, you won't be able to... - No.

You're mean! It's only 100.

OK, let's make it 50 and I'll show you

styles you've never seen before.

Imported styles.

50 is fine, OK?

Right, 20. My last offer. I'll tell you:

you'll be back for more tomorrow!

Get out!

Get out, I'm on the job!

What?

I thought you were in trouble.

I know.

Thanks anyway.

Here.

There I was, getting of the bus,

when more than fifty gangsters

attacked me. They stole

everything I had, even your stereos.

I woke up in hospital with stitches.

- My friend...

In hospital, with...

I'm sorry!

Sorry broke the white man's china.

You're lucky you're my relative

or I'd have killed you.

Get up.

Come on!

What car did the Luo guy want?

- He wanted a VX.

Who are you doing business with?

- They're my old mates.

Why can't they

steal the cars themselves?

They could,

but they want to work with us.

Why?

Because they trust me.

We've never carjacked anyone before.

That's why we've never made 100,000!

I have to ask Dingo.

My cut is 30,000.

No problem.

Talk to me. - How much to Westlands?

- 500. - Make it 300.

Add 50 as we go, OK?

What's up? Get in.

B*tch, don't look behind you!

- Oh, God! - Turn a corner here.

Guys, I believe in you.

- There's only two people in that car!

What did you say? How many people?

- Two!

Don't worry about it.

There, they're slowing down.

Get out!

Get out!

- Get out and don't look at me!

Living it up like pimps!

Motherf***er, this is the sh*t!

Dude, this isn't work, man!

- Check this out! - I see it!

Check out the high tech stereo, man!

Look at us living like pimps!

This is the meeting place.

Where are your guys?

We had a deal.

- Five step, motherf***er!

I told you! This job requires know-how.

You have to come to me for lessons.

Stealing cars is dangerous.

At least that car was worth it!

B*tch, get out! Open the door, get out!

Have you ever seen a real movie?

- No, never.

Me, neither.

Let's go.

This movie rocks!

It's really moved you.

- Completely.

So now you won't leave here?

Do you remember the day

I asked you about your plans?

Yes.

Well, this is the job I want to do.

Work in a movie theatre?

- Are you slow! I want to be an actor!

No!

What, are you serious?

- Yes. I'm an actor already.

So actors are like you now?

- I'm serious!

I have an acting role at the Phoenix.

- Where's that?

Don't you know the Phoenix?

I've heard of it,

but I've never been there.

It's a nice place.

And the play we're working on is great.

- So you're some sort of celebrity?

Why didn't you tell me before?

- I don't know.

So can I come?

Yes, you can,

but I don't want Oti to know.

Especially about me acting.

Cool.

The play is this Saturday.

OK.

What 3,000?

- You f*ggot!

Give me the remaining 30,000!

- 30,000, my arse!

B*tch!

We agreed 50 per cent on every car!

How can 50 per cent of 120,000 be 30,000?

- Dude, what?

120,000?

- I'm the boss,

I decide how much 50 per cent is!

- Don't f*** with us! - What's going on?

The b*tch is conning us.

- Dude,

you're holding us back?

- I taught you everything you know!

The money has to be paid.

- We did the work,

so now you have to pay us.

- I could just kill you!

Chill!

Don't waste your bullets!

Put your guns down!

When mine comes out, bullets will fly.

You've finished robbing everyone,

so now you're robbing each other?

It's not like that, officer.

This dog's stealing 30,000 from us.

Will you be bullied like kids?

In Gaza I make the laws!

- Maybe the young will reform you!

Why are you talking out of your arse?

Officer, how do you rule on this one?

- They should pay tax.

How many guns? 1, 2, 3?

30,000.

Pay up!

Right now.

Now go ahead and kill each other.

You have just f***ed away my 30,000!

B*tch, that was our money!

- Chill, man!

Take it easy.

We can't let these guys go like that!

Let's go beat them up!

If we do nothing, they'll grow horns.

Dingo!

On the ground!

Get down!

Go on, get down!

Officer, we've found a man here.

Oh yeah, he's very dead.

So you think you have anything

to say here? Move! Move on, now!

Hey, wait a minute!

I want these people.

They're Nairobi's gangsters.

You, get out.

- Get out. Stand up, go on!

You, get out and stand over there!

Get down!

Right, thanks.

Let's go!

What's up? Get in there!

Get out!

Stay together!

Just stay together!

Let's go.

Get in there.

Dear Lord, we're dead.

What?

Sorry I didn't tell you, dude.

Tell me what?

We're now dead men walking.

What are you saying?

Why are we here?

Nairobi is full of unsolved crimes.

The cops have to round up some guys

from time to time to fool the public.

But why a whole gang?

What will happen to us?

They'll kill us and use our bodies

as evidence for something we didn't do.

They'll claim

we were shot in a shoot-out.

But our parents will come looking for us!

True. So what?

This cold is too much.

It'll kill me.

Move aside, mistress,

all you bring is distress.

Move aside...

Get up, go to the wall

and kneel down.

I said, get up,

go to the wall and kneel down!

Put up your hands!

You!

So?

- Please!

Please, don't kill me.

- Shut up. - Please, don't kill me!

What?

- Please, don't kill me!

You've decided it's you?

- Please, don't kill me!

Get up!

Haven't you volunteered yourself?

- No, I haven't!. - Let's go.

We have to take them out.

Or they'll kill us all.

- No way! They've got guns!

You think you're bullet-proof?

Guys,

I'm not going down this way.

Look where your "brilliance" got us!

You got us into car jacking and guns.

You killed Dingo. And you still claim to

be our saviour? How stupid can you be?

What is this bullshit? - You're screwing

us like you've been screwing Amina!

You know Mose.

He talks out of his arse.

Stories about f***ing aside,

right now we have to get out of here.

There are four of us.

We can take them out.

- And how?

How, Oti?

Listen, Oti,

I never slept with Amina.

Cool.

But I like her.

That makes two of us.

You know the drill.

As usual,

on your knees against the wall.

One,

two,

go!

Check if there are any others!
