Veve Page #3

I'm not sure I should tell you.

Why not?

If I tell you,

I might never see you again.

You're scaring me.

It's Amos.

Your husband Amos killed my father.

I shouldn't be here. I'm so stupid.

Listen, why should I lie to you?

- You're crazy!

That garage Sammy operates

is called Slim's and Slim was my dad.

The logo is still there.

- Let go.

Dad owned many pickups. Amos wanted to

partner up but my dad refused.

The next thing we know, he was dead.

- I don't want to hear any more.

Amos forced my mother

to sell everything to him cheaply.

Why would I lie to you?

Boss.

I know

when you're hiding

something from me. Don't test me.

It's complicated.

What are you talking about?

Pass the rope.

Pass the rope!

We take time to vet our drivers.

This job requires speed.

Here, get to work.

Get in the car.

Hurry up and avoid all distractions.

You people, hurry up!

And hey, wear your seatbelt!

How are you, Sammy?

- Good, and you?

Fine.

Is Kago well?

Not really.

I always forget to take it off.

I haven't been

to the garage for a while.

It's a tedious job.

I'm used to it.

By the way,

who is this Slim?

I saw his name on the wall. - Slim?

Slim owned the garage a while ago.

You should at least erase his name.

We'll paint the walls just for you.

Where is he?

He is dead.

What happened?

He died in a road accident.

Esther, leave us.

So these days you help people?

I didn't find the white boy.

I think he's left.

You're very lax these days!

I want you to look

for all the farmers who supported Mzee.

Tell them,

anyone caught talking about a union

will have their farm burned down, too.

Who loses out

when the farms burn down? Bloody fools!

Have you heard?

Amos plans to burn down the farms

of all who follow you.

I thought there'd be no more union talk

after your farm was burned down.

- There is no more talk.

Then why does Amos think

we're exposing him to TV stations?

Where is that coming from?

- We heard someone went to talk to him.

What TV stations?

We supported you,

yet you betrayed us!

You'll see the consequences.

My grandfather is innocent.

Amongst all of you

he has suffered the most.

These are all lies.

Lies?

- Lies!

Okay, fine.

What will you do?

I don't know.

It's a difficult situation.

Where is your friend Clint?

Let's not talk about it.

Thieves!

- Let's go. Let's go!

There they are!

I'm going to chop

off every part of your body!

I didn't plant

that veve for you to steal!

I can't even sleep at night

because of you boys.

Please forgive me. - Do you think

I planted this veve for you bastards?

No, no. Please forgive me.

I'm sorry.

- I can't even sleep anymore!

I'm so sorry. I won't do it again.

- There he is

Do you know who his parents are?

- What?

Do you know whose son he is?

- This boy's a thief I

That's a lie.

- I'll pay.

You'll pay?

- Yes, I'll pay.

Give me 8,000 and stop breeding thieves.

I'll pay. What's the matter with you?

- Give me the money.

Hold on.

Is it okay now?

It's fine. Get him out of here.

Hey! If he wasn't your son,

I'd have chopped off his hands!

You hear me?

Let's go!

- What about the others? - Let them be.

I have sleepless nights because of you.

We're sorry!

- I'll chop off your hands.

I should have let you die.

Your mother

would've hated what's happening here.

I miss Mum.

I miss her too.

I want to go back to school.

That's good. Very good.

I'm glad you're here.

Will you kill Amos?

You shouldn't know more.

Do you remember

the old man from the meeting?

His farm was burned down.

You don't know

who Amos really is, do you?

We met at a school function.

He was giving out a donation.

A week later he came back,

telling me he had a dream.

That we'd get married and have children.

Nice pick-up line!

I didn't have any doubts

having meet him just once.

Time moves fast.

Kago!

Why are you wearing those?

There are CCTV cameras all over Nairobi.

So you think

people won't recognize your ugly face?

Take them off!

Jully, I'm not going in without them.

They give me confidence.

Stop joking!

You're full of nonsense!

Hurry up!

Hurry up, man!

What is it?

- Hello.

I want to see the boss.

- ls there a problem? - No. Not at all.

Get down!

HE'!-

I'm going to take care

of some business, okay?

Sing!

- He said, sing!

Sing, you idiot!

Give me that bag!

Faster!

Sit down!

Close the bag.

Open the safe!

Hurry up!

Sing.

Hurry up!

Who's their leader?

He's the driver

who delivered the veve this morning.

So you wanted

to fiddle around with my plane?

Why do you want

to sabotage our planes?

They said if I don't do this,

they will kill my wife and children.

Let me deal with him.

- Leave him alone.

HI get (hat bastard Amos.

Tell Amos I got his message.

You called me? What's the job?

I wantthe guy behind all this dead!

Make him suffer.

- Shut up, Amir!

I want this guy finished properly.

I want him dead.

What are you saying?

You're the cause of this problem.

Find this driver called Kenzo!

Are you leaving?

I can't stay here. My life's in danger.

Come with me.

Who is that?

Kenzo, I've been trying to reach you.

Don't make this hard. Let's go.

Hurry UP-

Has he said anything?

No.

What is this, Kenzo?

Amos.

Carry on.

Don't finish him yet.

Make him die slowly.

When your wife tells you something,

you must listen to her.

If you don't, you will not sleep.

Beside raising the buying price

of veve, we'll give loans to farmers

so they can expand

their business. These loans

will be interest-free.

Go tell all the young people

and the women

to come and register.

- Register

Let me conclude with this

It simply means:

if you're walking down the right road,

eventually

you're going to move forward.

Get his pickup ready.

Store the other

engines when they arrive.

Sammy!

- What is it?

Kago has been spotted

boarding a bus to Nairobi.

What?

- He was seen boarding a bus to Nairobi.

When was that?

- This morning.

Eliminate Kenzo by tomorrow.

But don't spill any blood on my farm.

Esther?

- Yes?

Are you hungry? I can prepare a meal.

Let's start over.

Tomorrow all our things

will be taken to Nairobi.

What about my job?

I want to be a governor, and

eventually president of this country.

Sammy.

When will you go and look for Kago?

I'm sure you know

what happens to children who go missing.

You'll lose your son, if you

don't start looking for him right now.

Hurry up and go!

Hello?

Are you with Esther?

I'm going to Nairobi to look for Kago.

- What are you taking about?

What?

I have to go to Nairobi.

Sammy?

Sammy!

Why have you stopped?

Where is Ben?

If I were you, I would run.

Where do we go?

Far,

far away from here.

Have you seen this boy?

This boy, have you seen him?

Kago!

Wake up!

Kago, why are you doing this to me?

Let's go home.
