Did his mother die?

Do you see that pipe? Top row, left.

It's theirs.

Used to be mine.

Where do you live now?

- I got my own place. - Why

did you bring the baby here?

He wants to show him his old house.

Where have you been?

Quiet baby, quiet. Hurry, please!

Feed him.

Drink, baby.

Drink you hear me? Drink so you can grow up.

What's your name little one?

How should I call you?

David.

- His name is David. - Yes David. Now you're drinking.

Are you his father?

What happened to his mother?

Is she dead?

Where is the father of your baby?

Last winter, he went to work one day...

and never came back...

It was dark... After 5.

It's a long way home from the factory.

You can't always see who's walking behind you.

What was his name?

Zacharia.

How do you get money?

- Do you sew? - Yes I sew... and I mend clothes.

And these?

Can you sell these?

I've sold some... Not many.

- How much for this one? - Fifty.

- 50? For broken glass? - You only see broken glass...

- What do you see? - Colour. Light. On you.

Give him to me.

Give me the baby. I'll take care of him.

You can see him anytime.

My Jabu and David will play together.

I know about babies. I'll look after him.

Give him to me.

I'll be back at the morning. He better be here.

- Where are you going? - To

get money. So I can pay you.

- I don't want your money. - Yes you do.

No, I don't.

Don't forget. He's mine.

Stand still. You must keep it clean.

- You never had a child, did you?

- Don't be rude. I'm helping you!

You are clever Boston. You should go back to school.

- School costs money. - We should go work with Fela.

- We'll make plenty money. - He can work here with me.

- He'll drink all your profit

sister. - Leave him alone, please!

Get out of here!

I don't want you here!

He can come stay with me.

What? You think he wants to be with you?

Look at his face... Look what you've done to him.

And now its infected! Say what you want and leave.

I remember when he first came here,

to the Shacks. He had a lot of money.

- You gave him as much beer as

he wanted. - He came to forget.

Yes, and when he fell down in the

street, sick from the beer you sold him...

I found him, not you.

Brother...

Who took care of you, when you

were lying there in the street?

Who cleaned you up, when you

couldn't even remember your name?

Who picked you up then brother? Me or her?

Help him come to my house.

Why did you bring me here?

You're a teacher right?

I was never a teacher...

I didn't give the exams.

Don't laugh!

You still can.

- I can't go back. - You need money... We'll help.

We'll get the money and you'll take the exams.

We'll get the money and you'll take the exams.

See?

We need a job.

- Where are we going? - We're going. It's good.

- Why are we here? - Stop asking him questions.

Why this house?

- Leave it. We're working together,

right? - Why are we sitting here?

We're sitting... It's good.

- Turn off the alarm. - It's over there.

Don't make a mistake.

- Who else is here? - Noone

Move!

Sit.

Where is your wife?

In hospital.

She was shot three days ago.

Please guys... Take everything, but my wife needs me.

Our child is missing.

- Let me kill this guy now. - No! Later...

- Why later? - We might need him.

What for?

Do you have a safe in here?

- No safe. - We'll see...

- He saw our faces. - I said later. Do what I say.

Are you okay?

Hey, what's going on with you?

Hey buddy... They say every

wine tastes different... Is it true?

Sure... You get used to the taste.

I prefer beer. Zamalek.

Hey buddy... I'm hungry. Do you want anything?

Hey buddy, what you have?

Cheese, cold meat, sausages...

- Chicken livers? - Sure. In the fridge.

What are you doing? They

haven't finished. Are you stupid?

- Hey man, look what you've done. - It

wasn't me man! Look in his hands.

- What were you doing? - I didn't see him.

What are you doing? You can't drive.

- Open the gate! - Get in!

- What have you done? - He was a trash!

- He's dead, he's dead! - Yes he

is! He always wanted to kill!

You never stopped him before!

Okay, let's do it. Buddy, if you

learned to drive, I'd give you more.

Move!

Let's go.

Come on, brother.

You want to stay with Fela?

When is my turn?

- For what? - You hit Boston, really hard.

Now Butcher...

When is my turn?

You're right. We are finished.

It's over. Like Butcher. Finished and done.

- Who is it? - It's me.

What happened?

Can I come in?

Please?

Thank you.

It's for you.

- I don't want them. - I won on the dice.

I don't want them.

I know where you got him...

I saw the newspaper.

They say his mother may never walk again.

You can't give her legs back.

But you must give her son back.

- What is this? - Milk.

- For mothers witout milk. - You put it in here right?

But it won't make you his mother.

Please, give him to me.

I'll take him back for you.

If I take him back... can I still come here?

I'm sorry, my brother.

Yes, I told you, Western Section. Just after the cap.

I see you.

- Where is he? - That shack, with the small window.

Watch the car.

- Where's the baby? - What baby?

- Get the gun. - Speak, fast!

- I don't know anything. - Don't bullshit us.

- No... no... stop! It's not him!

- What are you saying ma'am?

- Talk Boston! Where did he go? - I don't know!

Take it easy Zuma.

- Tell me the truth, I'm not stupid.

- I'm not lying. It's true man!

You! What do you want?

Take it.

- lf you need anything, help

yourself. - Thank you, I'm fine.

Thanks.

A child was stolen by someone who lives

on this street and nobody's seen anything?

- Pumla, eat please. - I can't John.

I'll leave it here.

Who is this?

Your baby. I'll leave it here.

Don't do anything stupid guys. We're coming.

- Please sir, wait! - Out of my way!

Put the child down and step away!

Please, stay in sir!

Please, I beg you... Just stay where you are.

- Put the child down. - Hey, please, take it easy...

He's holding my child.

Pumla, go inside.

Stay back ma'am! Steyn, pull her back.

Don't you touch me.

Boy... bring me my child.

Bring my child to me!

- Hey. Put the child down and step back.

- Quiet man. Let us deal with it please.

Let me handle it.

Tell your men to lower their

weapons. He's going nowhere.

All right everybody... Don't do anything stupid. Relax.

You too. Lower your weapon please.

Brother...

We don't want you to get hurt...

I promise... Nobody's gonna hurt you.

I'm opening the gate now.

You stay there. I'll come to you.

I'm opening it now. Okay? All right?
