Veve Page #2

You must be out of your mind. No way!

Impossible.

Can't we rob some other place?

Did you know Amos pays people

in Maua in cash every day?

Let me ask you:

what would you do with three million?

Three million.

Sh*t.

Three million.

We make it look like Wadu did it.

Wadu does business with Amos.

You'll go for Amos's money

and I'll handle Wadu's planes. Okay?

We'll make them go at each other.

This is a suicide job.

If you want to kill yourself,

do it alone.

Does that mean you won't do it?

I didn't say that.

When you came to Kamiti prison,

I was about to kill myself.

It's all in the past.

- Yes. It is all in the past.

But still

I owe you my life.

We will do it.

As always, thick as thieves.

- Thick as thieves!

Right?

I have to get close to Amos.

Phone!

Remove that speed governor.

I've no idea who installed it,

but he must be stupid.

- Alright.

Who are you?

- I'm looking for a job as a driver.

We don't need any drivers here.

I've driven trucks for a while.

For seven years.

I've been to Zimbabwe, Uganda, Sudan.

My boss Ali Juma sent me here.

So Ali Juma is your boss?

Okay, give me your number.

Hello.

All the drivers have left.

Okay-

Let me figure out what to do.

Yes.

What was your name again?

- Kenzo.

The MP's wife has car trouble

and she needs to get to a meeting.

Mechanic, come over here.

I'm sending you with this guy.

Go as fast as you can.

If you get there in ten minutes,

you might get the job.

Who is he?

Sammy sent him with me.

He is a new driver.

I can't wait.

Can you take me to Maua?

My grandson in Nairobi

buys a bundle for 500 Kenyan shillings.

A bundle is about four to five stems.

Do the math.

Even if Amos buys a kilo from us

for as much as 22.000 shillings,

he still makes a profit.

With all due respect to Mzee, I think

Amos has done a lot for the community.

In business there are always people

who make more than others.

If we start pushing Amos,

we might ruin things.

So do we just sit

and watch him oppress us?

For me things are fine the way they are.

- Then why isn't he here?

I won't be part of that union.

Those who want more money

should buy a bigger farm

and plant more veve trees.

- Yes. That's how it should be.

Amos's wife is here.

Let's welcome her.

She might have a solution.

Welcome.

Hello.

I bring greetings from my husband Amos.

I'm deeply touched

by your warm reception. Thank you!

Yes.

Amos has done a lot for the community.

He's concerned about your welfare.

Amos wants Maua to flourish.

Haven't you seen

the development? Right?

He's oppressing us.

I believe

Amos will agree to your buying price.

IdonT believe he will.

Do you think I was right?

What about?

Telling them

that their demands would be met.

Do you want me

to tell you the truth or otherwise?

The truth.

It seems this issue

has been bothering them for a while.

Telling them anything else

would have been wrong.

How could I have known their problems?

I barely know them.

It's good

you were there to listen to them.

They're not used to that.

True.

Why did you tell the farmers

I'd agree to their demands?

I'm happy to see you.

I hope you had a nice day.

Okay-

How was your day?

Fine.

They're not asking for much.

You were supposed

to give a few remarks.

And I did.

Amos.

Don't bother. I'll find a solution.

Are there many?

I haven't hired you yet. Return this car

to the MP's residence.

Okay?

Then

you can take the bus back.

Am I an errand boy now?

- What?

Give it back.

Hurry up! Don't be sluggish.

Hello? - Hello, Sammy?

- What's the matter?

Where's Kenzo staying?

- In Maua. Why?

He left something in the car.

- I can send someone.

No, no, don't worry, I'll handle it.

Alright.

- Okay.

That's none of your business.

It's going to be a shopping mall.

Is this a good time

to discuss my proposal?

I don't deal with snakes.

Whatthe hell's going on here,

you failure?

The police took my pickups and a loaded

plane. They even raided my warehouse.

Do you know the loss I incurred?

R seems ihe money We been paying you

was of no use at all!

I will continue to disrupt this

rubbish of yours. Next stop: Immigration!

Am I clear?

You and your family will be relocated

to a refugee camp. - But I'm Kenyan.

Ibeflhis sneaky bastard Amos sent you!

ls Amos behind all this?

Listen,

you want a name?

You have a balance

of 1.8 million to settle.

The tussle between you and Wadu

has gone overboard.

That's how we do business.

Do you remember sleeping in the streets?

The hunger.

Crazy hunger.

Now you have a potbelly.

I wonder

what these girls admire in your belly.

Sammy, you know what?

We need to get you a wife!

- No what?

I hear that thing can fall off,

if it's not used for a longtime.

Stop kidding.

- Look at this one.

Put that aside and come here.

She's beautiful,

has a lovely body

We should get you a wife like this one.

What do you think?

She doesn't measure up.

I love Esther. These other women

don't mean anything to me.

Then what do you want

with them?

Stop asking questions

and burn down Mzee's farm.

I have someone

on the lookout outside Amos's office.

This guy will check the timings.

When the time is right he'll alert me,

and we'll move very fast.

And then at Wadu's airport area

I have another contact.

He'll help you get in discretely.

MY Only worry is

that we won't have enough time.

We'll have plenty of time.

So everything's fine?

We're all set.

When we're done, we'll disappear.

Is it true that chewing veve

cures gonorrhea?

Today I must get some.

I'm going to be a millionaire.

Beautiful ladies.

You look good. Like chickens.

I'm Julius.

Clint!

Welcome.

How are you, boys?

- Fine.

Let us pray. Thank you, God,

for the food you have provided

and thank you for our visitor.

We ask for your blessing.

Don't spill petrol on me.

Hurry up!

Around those trees.

I thought

you might need this before tomorrow.

Thank you.

Would you like to come in?

I should leave.

Eat well

so you can be as strong as a rhino.

See these muscles!

Great!

Morris, you still make me laugh.

Clint, welcome.

So enjoy your meal.

You're sitting here while your farm

is burning down. Your farm is on fire!

Oh, my God. God help us!

You shouldn't be here.

It was a mistake.

I want to see you again.

I'm someone's wife.

There's this place

called Maasai Village.

I'll be there at 5:30.

Excuse me, sir,

what would you like to eat?

I'm waiting for someone.

- Alright.

Waiter!

This pile of sand should be moved here.

Then use the barbed wire

to make a fence here.

Tell the masons

to finish this as soon as possible.

Find out who that white boy is.

Check out if he works for Wadu.

And find out if the farmers are

planning to go on TV.

The picture in your wallet,

is that your father?

- It's the last memory I have of him.

My mother gave it to me

before she died of cancer. - Sorry.

What happened to your father?

He was murdered.

Who murdered him?
