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.
